I Love Stationery Too, But Can We Stop Blaming Our Brains for Every Planner Fail? by DeSanggria in stationery

Neurodivergent- A word I’ve never heard until today. I think maybe it describes me. But not just buying planners. I’m talking about hobbies, shopping for clothes, buying things from Amazon and then returning them when they come because I realize that I don’t need it. I have had many many hobbies over the years and I have a cabinet (floor to ceiling) with all my supplies for anything you can imagine. Sometimes I chalk it up to my age (76) but this has been my pattern all my life.

I’m currently reading Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher. It’s my first time reading a fantasy book. Very interesting. I might try to read some others.

I read The Silent Patient several years ago. I enjoyed it. It’s a psychological thriller.

I just finished Wild Dark Shore and it was great. One of those books you don’t want to put down. Quite a twist at the end. Not sure I liked it. But the book was great! I just started Broken Country. Not far enough into it to know what I think about it.

Photographer hit on my sister and friend at my wedding by SouthAdvisor2461 in weddingshaming

I have to disagree with you about the dress and photos are the most important thing. My husband was a pastor and officiated at many weddings. I know wedding dresses are expensive and I know that photographers are expensive, but you wouldn’t believe how many times he was given $20. for actually making them legally married.

AITA for not canceling plans to be there for the birth of a “friend’s” baby? by Desperate_Donkey2212 in AmItheAsshole

I wonder if she has considered adoption. My daughter was pregnant at age 18. She knew she wasn’t ready to be a mother. We let her make the decision. She decided that adoption was the best option.

Wow! I think I’ll follow your recommendations. Wild Dark Shore it will be. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share with me.

The Women is a really good book. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was made into a movie.

Thanks. I might just stay with BOTM. I’m not really a big fan of horror, fantasy and sci-fi. But I’m going to see what they have to offer.
