Surreal

It was a bad week on the sleep front, which means it wasn't a good week on any front. There was also drama. I can't go into it today, but I will give some free advice, although I am not a lawyer. If someone you know adds you to the board of directors to a charity, which if formed would be illegal, without asking your permission or discussing it with you AFTER you've told the person that it would be illegal, kindly ask that person to take your name off of it. That's what I tried to do.

I asked ChatGPT, Is it legal to start a charity to fund a business in the United States?

ChatGPT4 said, No, it is not legal to start a charity to fund a business in the United States. Charities are required by law to serve a charitable purpose, which means that their primary goal must be to benefit the public good or a particular group of people in need. Funding a for-profit business does not meet this requirement.

Well, there you go. There was more, but that's all I needed to know.

I was added without permission or consultation to a charity that's forming with the primary goal of funding an LLC. When I wanted my name taken off it, I was attacked. Guess who the victim is? The person who did that behind my back. I am not making this up. Of course, there's more to it, but WOW.

I'm still slowly reworking my Etsy shop. I have most of my original items replaced with things I hope are much more marketable, but it's been slow going. Etsy's algorithm hates it. Views are definitely down this week. No sales. I'm basically starting over from the ground up, which I expected but still hurts.

Have a great weekend.
