Violist, knitter, writer, general odd-duck-about-town. AuDHD. Read anything, always have a couple of cats, and if it's about dragons, otters or hedgehogs, I'm interested. Probably really a dragon anyway, given the size of this book collection... (she/her)

Gotta go with the goblin city in Labyrinth. So deliciously weird!

That pretty much sums up the Little House books too - if Pa Ingalls could see his neighbor's chimney smoke, off they went west again...

I once bought a box of tea for someone when their SNAP card wouldn't scan for it because it was labeled as a "supplement". It was effing freezing out, I think a hot beverage of one's choice is a perfectly reasonable thing to buy at any time but especially on a crappy cold wet winter day!

You know, I have a soft spot for a lot of 'em but I'm gonna have to go with Mildred Hubble from the Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy.

This is why I don't reset the clock on the auto-feeder. 😂

Huh. I was dxed at 40. Quite sure I got it from my dad. His mother smoked like a chimney and had a wicked soda habit. Well well well.

I LOVE Sneakers. I watched it twice recently, coincidentally the night before the news broke of Redford's passing and then again a day or two later with the commentary track on. Wish there were more female characters, but other than that it really holds up.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

If it takes a bit of time to sort, I'll be doing the same trip the 14th (probably - don't have the rehearsal schedule yet but *probably* Friday).

Have some fuzzy kitty tum, because the world sucks. She's awfully cute though.
A cow cat on a purple blanket, displaying lots of rubbable white tummy fur. Her paws are curled up to her chest and her nose is VERY pink.

Oh, what a beautiful pupper! I'm heading from Boston to Bangor Saturday morning if that does any good?

Were my skills perfect? Heck no (notable failures included "Penelope" and "infrared"). And I definitely remember an Electric Company episode explaining "ph" (the pronunciation of "pah-honograph" cracked me up because... well... there's another one on the end!).

I learned to read (actually that's not quite accurate - I just suddenly COULD, one day) well before starting preschool, so when the pink plaid-covered phonics workbook showed up in 1st grade I was extremely annoyed by the whole thing and allowed to go read newspapers with a parent volunteer. 🤷‍♀️

Same here - I had French first thing in the morning in both 7th and 8th grade and I've kept the 7s and the 24-hour clock ever since. Oddly, the 1s didn't stick. 🤷‍♀️

My goofballs have SO MANY TOYS and yet... yeah. The balled-up foil off a burrito beats them all EVERY TIME. They do love the cardboard scratcher houses from Aldi though. Possibly due to the catnip...

I am an un-notable Italian-American who totally agrees. This dude got famous basically for getting lost - I do that like, every week, c'mon, and WITHOUT the side of genocide that followed.
