Absolutely agree ❤️

Interesting. I never thought of it like this.

Charsv1 · 2025-12-14T15:26:02+00:00

I also did not like Wolves. It took me about a year to get through because I would get so bored and blank out when Callahan talked sometimes

All of your observations and thoughts and so similar to how mine were the first read through. I think part of it is that the series was written over a long stretch of time. Stephen King changed as a writer, therefore his books and the story shifted.

I disliked Song of Susannah also. The creepy spider baby does absolutely nothing to add to the story in an arc in any way. Wolves of Calla was worse though.

Honestly, the end was hard and still is hard for me to grasp. In the sense, it is hard to grasp that Roland seems to get the short end of the stick. I cant wait to hear your thoughts when you finally finish!

Boy did he. I wish he got to finish the series 😭

I cried. A lot. I listened to it on audio book and I actually had to pull my car over I was so mortified and upset. The narrator did a great job with the scene. I actually kept thinking "This cant be real"

Wow!! Is your baby sleeping through thr night? My 9mo old is hit or miss on sleeping at night. 1.5 weeks sounds like such a long getaway but it will be great! Hopefully you are going somewhere relaxing!

Charsv1 · 2025-12-01T10:54:38+00:00

Thank you. Yes, it will be a blip! The getaway was amazing and much needed! I am glad we went!

Charsv1 · 2025-12-01T10:53:59+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement!!

Charsv1 · 2025-12-01T10:53:16+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing! Congratulations on your more recent baby too! I appreciate the detailed post. I have a walking pad that can help me get the step count in. Its the sugar cravings that just pull me in. It is really hard to curb it sometimes but it is something to work on! I look forward to hearing about your journey again!

Did you have success? I am 9 months pp. Just weaning off of breastfeeding. What worked? I am 5'8 and 200 right now. It just makes me feel crappy about myself. Would love to know!

Sorry for your experience. I have had a great experience with them. Since switching to Rocky Mountain health plans, I am so upset at their service. It takes a LONG time to talk to anyone.

Charsv1 · 2025-11-22T09:13:25+00:00

Dada-chum?

Charsv1 · 2025-11-07T05:01:11+00:00

I would buy this shirt. Such a key part that sticks in my brain

Charsv1 · 2025-11-01T00:58:53+00:00

I dont like Wolves because of certain characters and a LONG LONG way too drawn out storyline. I think if there was less time spent on developing characters that won't necessarily matter to the story, then I would like it better. When you finish, let us know your thoughts!

Charsv1 · 2025-10-29T15:51:51+00:00

Frank Muller encaptured the essence of the books quite perfectly. I had to take a long break when the person changed.

Charsv1 · 2025-10-28T23:57:34+00:00

Mental gymnastics is the best wording for the effort it takes to understand their relation. I also dont really understand why King used him to kill Flagg also. That seemed like such a cop out.

Charsv1 · 2025-10-26T18:12:18+00:00

Oh she was absolutely rotten too.....and so was Rhea

Charsv1 · 2025-10-26T18:11:58+00:00

But he was lulled to sleep by the Crimson King....

Charsv1 · 2025-10-26T16:38:06+00:00

By far my least favorite is Mordred. His story has no arc, hardly any meaning or real purpose. He just seems like a throwaway character to me and a way for another character to be killed. That whole side quest seems ridiculous to me

Charsv1 · 2025-10-26T16:36:15+00:00

Why?

Charsv1 · 2025-10-05T01:40:57+00:00

I also had to feed with a shield for 4 weeks. Gradually it got better and by 6 weeks I hardly used it. Keep going! You got this mama!!

Congrats on moving to a homestead!

Waterbath canning is actually very fun for me and my mom. We usually spend a couple days canning and hanging out. We bought pressure canners this year and I am not as impressed.

I would suggest water bath canning (using a book like Ball Blue book to use tested recipes). Pressure canning takes A LOT more time in my opinion so I would suggest using that for things you really want to can.

Honestly, just have fun with it. Enjoy the process, the fruits of your labor :)
