What are you saying?
Size matters?
They're the normal size boxes.

Before I became a Christian, I definitely had a propensity towards "plays on words", and I still have a residue of that mess inside of me which needs to be dealt with.
My sincere apologies for what I said earlier.
Although it was playful in intent, it still wasn't right in God's eyes.
My bad.

The devil likes us to be too hard on ourselves, seems that way when I hear NDE's and how niggling little temptation thoughts disappear while on the other side of the veil, then reoccur when coming back to this side. We will beware of these as well as we walk out His plan for each of us.
Great teaching this a.m. from jglm.org , hope all yours were as well.

There aren't any mediums of exchange that aren't fiat currency. The whole world is using them. We don't have any commodity based economies anymore. Those left the world back in the 1400's. (Printing presses ruined the world?)
Metals used to be a medium of exchange and a stallward against inflation...but then they became manipulated by mining and hoarding. So they aren't the safe havens they once were. Industrial metals like silver, copper, gold, platinum and others... again are highly dependant on mining versus demand.
Thats why people have been flocking to cryptocurrency. But it isn't the safe haven people think it is. (Many reasons for this) Its only popular at the moment. It will lose its luster once people understand that blockchain technology is hackable, retailers discount cryptocurrency by 20% of value, and requires considerable energy to maintain. (Electric bill)
The USA dollars are the most stable medium of exchange in the world. The Euro wants to be...but it has issues as well. Dollars are the number one item backing up most other currencies in existence.
That includes Rias, and Yen and Rupees. Even the Euro.
Rubles? Good wishes?
I know that the USA used to issue money backed by metals...but the value was being severely manipulated by everyone. You never knew what value it was going to have from one day to the next.
I can remember quite clearly when silver was trading at $60-$80/oz in the 70's.
Ain't worth anywhere near that price or value now. And the Hunt Brothers went to jail over the manipulation.
I like things the way they are now. I'm just fine with it.
Lumber is really up though. Meaning that the sawmills are making money. People are building homes and homes are gaining value. People prefer homes to apartments. Especially in a pandemic. I don't see that changing afterwards either. Commercial real estate like office space? I see it declining.

Actually, I've had a rather favorable turn in my children's eyes of late.
Mostly, sad to say, because their mother (we're divorced, and they live with her, only about 10 minutes away from me) has been an unholy terror, and they've been reaching out to me more and more.
In fact, I got a call from one of my crying daughters at 4:00 a.m. today, and I eventually spent more than a hour with my other crying daughter on the phone (my son chimed in too).
Anyhow, it's working to my favor in that I've been able to impart some godly wisdom to them through all of this.
They (especially my two daughters) had pretty much shut me out of their lives until recently because their mother has been slandering me for their entire lives, and I never really defended myself until very recently.
Well, if nothing else, I'll never die of boredom...lol.
