Delightful post. Sadly, her phone number in the video is no longer active and the wonderfully retro Chill Frill website is offline, last archived by the Internet Archive in late 2019.

Yeah, and her email address doesn't work anymore either as it was also tied to a business website that's gone (she had several for her product for some reason). She has a common name so she's hard to Google, and she was so often traveling in her mobile home that limiting a search to a particular region is just guesswork. And having no family makes even obituary searches difficult because who would have published one? Wherever she is, I hope she's healthy and happy!

For one second, I misread the antepenultimate graf as saying your HEART isn't working and I was like WHOA

But yes. This is true in SO MUCH. Letting the silence ring is great for conversation, for interviews, and even for negotiations.

Oh god yes for sure. I need to remember that for everyday conversations. I probably do too much talking in general.
