This is so silly. My back went out again, and I can't stand? Can I get $20 for delivery? I have to go to work tomorrow and work late. This is messed up
Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

The 80's were 20 years ago. Just like the 2000's were also 20 years ago. I don't see why this is so hard to understand.

My dear Aunt Rita used to make the BEST homemade sugar cookies with icing. One year, God rest his soul, Uncle Pat put a can of gasoline/kerosene in the trunk with her cookies. Have you ever bitten into a gasoline cookie? She was in tears, Aunts trying to convince her we couldn't smell or taste it.

My mother in law made cookies, candy, and mini cheesecakes every Christmas. Unfortunately, my father in law was a heavy smoker. Have you ever tasted a nicotine flavored truffle?

On today's episode of I Shouldn't Be Alive:
My ex's grandma's cooking was justly feared by all. At one grisly holiday feast her daughter-in-law whimpered, "Dorothy, how did you get the turkey to *taste* like that," and she beamed, "Well, I cook the turkey the night before, and I slice it and I leave it out overnight to dry."

On Thanksgiving many years ago, my mom surprised me and my brother with our early Christmas gifts. She was giving us the gift of togetherness. She was flying our sister home for Christmas.
Our mean and utterly horrible sister.
My brother asked if his gift could be returned.

I would just like to say that when you are tasked with the turkey, it is best to make sure you have set your stove to bake and not broil. Especially if you are going to leave it baking unattended. In Florida. With the windows open. You know, so you can see the smoke rolling out when you get home.

I caused a minor ham explosion prepping for Christmas Eve dinner.
And there was a whoomph and a visible fireball that actually blew the oven door open.

We are nearly approaching the 10-year anniversary of the Colangelo family Thanksgiving mystery of trying to figure out who ate the bag of gourmet dog treats thinking they were cookies and stashed the wrapper under the couch once they realized their mistake.

When I was 4, I fell through a weird gap in the stair railing into the large pan of turkey drippings. It took my mom over a week to get all the grease out of my hair.

I had a boss. She did not cook. She decided to cook the Thanksgiving turkey. She read the instructions on the plastic wrapper on the frozen turkey. The instructions did not include "remove this plastic wrapper" and so...she did not.

Wow, me neither. Every book I've published is on there, AND some anthos *and* some ish that's available on Tor for free, but apparently compiled into a handy pdf. I'm no bestseller but damn this is depressing, meanwhile let me figure out which bills won't get paid next month.

Look, I am very small potatoes as an author. I make too little in royalties to live off them. But I can tell you the reason I got to write my 2nd book was bc the sales of the 1st were very good. That's what else you're eating into by pirating, our ability to keep writing what you claim to love.

They also sell everything to companies building LLMs, there's a link offering their "datasets" (books, papers, etc) for tens of thousands of dollars USD. They also auto-scrape everything scanned and uploaded to Internet Archive's Open Library. So. Yeah. 🙃
