$50 or more?? Goodness. You're clearly here for more than the bonuses. I truly can't thank you enough for partnering with me at this level. We have so many stories to tell, thanks to you!
You, my friend, have earned the coveted title of Raconteur. According to Suleiman Osman,
"the raconteur...is a master artist who concentrates on the aesthetics of the story and the emotions it evokes in the listener. To hear a raconteur tell a story is like listening to a virtuoso musician skillfully playing with tempo and dynamics. He or she knows when to hold back details that do not add to the story and how to exaggerate the ones that do. Yet the raconteur never hopes to deceive the audience. Rather he or she has a tacit understanding with the listener that a poetic license is allowed, provided that any embellishment will never depart so far from the truth as to become fiction."
Well done, you.
