My unanswered questions on post #689 plus the following:

  1. Are the unfriended people dead?

  2. If yes, is their death possibly connected to the fruit?

  3. Is the woman worried she may die too?

  4. Did she give the money from her jewelry sale to her children or to other relatives or close friends?

Is the woman expecting to go to prison soon?

Is the woman expecting to die soon?

Is the woman expecting to change place of residence soon?

No to all these.

I think I covered the #689 questions in #691.

No to these.

  1. Are all of the pets vertebrates?

  2. Are some of the pets mammals?

  3. Are some of the pets birds?

  4. Are some of the pets reptiles?

  5. Are some of the pets amphibians?

  1. Was she angry at the people she unfriended?

  2. Was selling the jewelry some kind of protest? (eg, getting rid of diamonds, but not limited to that)

  3. Did the woman live in the US when this occurred?

  4. Is the fruit typically consumed in its raw form, like an apple?

  5. Is the fruit (defining it loosely) typically consumed as an ingredient, like coconut?

  6. Is the fruit typically consumed as a juice, like cranberries?

  7. Did selling he jewelry bring in a substantial amount of money?

I think we need to narrow down the fruit and the pets. I’ll try the fruit.

  1. Does the fruit have “berry” in its name?*
  2. Is it citrus?
  3. Is it most commonly grown in tropical countries?
  4. Does it have a stone?
  5. Is the peel or outer coating commonly removed before eating?
  6. Does it grow on trees?
  7. Does it grown on vines?

That’s enough for now.

Is the fruit related to a particular American state?
Are the pets related to a particular American state?
Does the woman have the name of an American state? (Including pre-Civil War.)

Does the logic of her actions only make sense to her?

I ask because this sounds like a typical FB meltdown.
