system of checks and balances

Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.

fridgometric system

/ frihjh·ow·mEt-rik ,sih·stuhm /

noun

The FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM is a unit of measurement founded to determine a universal and accurate measurement of fun. It is unique in all aspects to previous measurements of fun because it disregards the historical aspects of danger and dollars to just focus on dopamine intensity. the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM succeeded the Gushuez system used in most areas of Southeast Texas.

The evolution of the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM began in the late 20th century, but it has roots in other systems of measurement, namely the that used by the Braniffites. Chief among the experiments using the braniffine system was the testing of Tequila’s impact on gravity and Beach-18s in Falcon Lake, Mexico.

The FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM has now become widely accepted because of it’s undeniable accuracy. The only criticism is that it tends to actually under measure the actual fun in anticipation of future fun, which is mathematical corrected by f/2^ec ( where f= 1 fridgometre and ec= 1 dashielogram).

The units of measurement are as follows:

- fridgometre = base unit
- gusometre = 1/13 fridgometre
- chasogram = 4 fridgometres but lacks self-control
- dashielogram = while technically not a unit, it is an exponential factor applied to the fridgometre to amplify/decrease toward the desired outcome

Studies on the impact of the fridgometre on memory and the liver have been dismissed as conspiracy theories by users of the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM.
At our most recent LUNCH Charles forgot our scribe who would record our ideas and rate the experience by fridgometric system standards, so therefore have no idea what was solved.

Ernie put too many dashielograms in the last telling of the tales of the exploits of the Chamonix Crew and how many fridgometres they expended in France.

A fire possum weighs 2 chasometres…

The Great Grandie Reward System

The Great Grandie Reward System is a highly effective and fun behavior management tool designed to encourage positive behavior in children, teens, and even adults. This unique system revolves around the concept of "Grandies" - small, colorful tokens that are earned by individuals when they exhibit positive actions and behaviors.

With The Great Grandie Reward System, individuals set specific goals and objectives, and every time they demonstrate positive behavior, they earn Grandies. These tokens are then placed in the "Grandie Goal Jar," a personalized container that serves as a visual representation of progress and achievement.

As the jar fills up with Grandies, individuals are motivated to continue their positive actions and strive for their desired rewards. The system also features the lovable character "Pandie," a charismatic red panda, introduced in the companion book titled "The Great Grandie."

The Great Grandie Reward System creates a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters self-discipline, responsibility, and self-esteem. It empowers individuals to take charge of their own behavior while promoting a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.

This innovative system is suitable for families, educators, and anyone seeking to create a positive and engaging environment to reinforce good habits and cultivate a culture of encouragement and positivity.
"Since implementing The Great Grandie Reward System in our household, my kids have become more motivated and responsible, earning Grandies for their positive actions and achieving their goals with enthusiasm."
