My mother and I deserve

Are these ‘good’? Well they’re not high literature but I was solidly entertained and the sex isn’t cringe, so I’ve read much worse

Anyway, if you want to lose a rainy weekend, Salt Kiss, Sierra Simone. There’s three of them but I haven’t read the third yet

(And these are definitely weekend books and not read on the bus books, unless you don’t mind what people see over your shoulder)

I have said there’s only so much contemporary romance I can read, which is mostly because there are so many real people problems I want to engage with at a time, but otoh, when your problem is that [deep breath] you, a former soldier turned bodyguard, in a kink situationship with your boss

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I realize there are no right answers here but I have seen a WRONG answer, ie, the passenger in my row once who got up for the bathroom four minutes before landing after the flight attendants were already strapped in and then looked surprised when he got yelled at

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

Who is, btw, an extremely wealthy ex-CIA wetworks guy who now runs the world’s most exclusive kink club, located improbably on an island in the Potomac, worry about falling in love with his fiancée, a banking heiress with a spoilerly but equally outlandish biography, as you escort her across

I love that Jongho saw the theme this year to cook on your birthday live and decided he was going to make salad and a cocktail, that is a man who knows his skill set

(He did not make the steak, as I understand it)

So a fun fact about me as a writer is rhat I have a nice sweet spot at about 12-15K and another one at 28-35K but I almost never write between those, and I had mentally put nation’s boyfriend in the 15K bucket but now that I’m 3K in I’m getting concerned
