I drop some portion of every vegetable I chop & spill enough hot tea & red wine to always keep stain remover on hand. I am clumsy in that hypermobile quick movement way and barefoot. Never.

I started to watch that show recently, and i had to abort after 2 episodes because I do not think they are funny. (I also grew up with these people)

For Good is a great one, but I'm also fresh off a week of NY theater

Good to hear. I put it back on hold soon after as I was into a few books already & my turn hasn't come around again yet. It will surely become available with 2 or more other holds (i use 3 libraries), so I will restart the cycle w/ one of the other books.

Not paying attention and think I replied to own post? Was saying that I am fond of the built-in ones and that the dog watcher sent a Pic the next morning of 3 ruined pillows, so question answered. Trazadone now on boarded

he's one of those writers I'm effusive about. I've taught 3-4 from that collection,but my go to is probably The Girl Who Raised Pigeons. People don't talk about him enough.

I don't know that it fits, but Nikki Giovanni's There is Always Something to Do has resonated with me since I was 15.

read this earlier & had many yes moments, but yeah, this is it: At best, it’s akin to the performance of a great athlete, giving its witnesses the sense that they’ve seen something true and beautiful.

I haven't watched Andor, but he's one of very few actors where I'll simply accept it. Like he can do whatever he wants.

My neuro told me B2,D3,& magnesium were 1st line of treatment & had my bloodwork done as deficits common. Apparently food allergies also a common cause.

I'm on 500 mg magnesium, 400 mg b2, 5000 iu d3 for migraines and having good luck with that and low dose of topiramate every day (anti convulsant at higher dosage)

I think you also have a hound. They quickly become groundhog dogs, snake dogs, bird dogs, skink dogs, vole dogs, etc. I clap my hands to warn rabbits, etc. but nobody listens
