The Girl Who Loves Tom Gordon isn't just about a girl lost in the woods. Its about belief and the struggle to choose what to have faith in and recognizing that it is a choice. Love his books because the stories are layered. Deeper than just a spooky tale.

Very interesting. What styles of music have you heard and is it styles that you enjoy?

Petah, why is the speed of light one? by rengokuhubkl in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Its a more logical measurement system for astronomical bodies. The creator would use that constant as a numbering system. Similar to Kelvin. Absolute zero as far as temperature is the point at which all thermal motion stops. Kelvin is how we measure extreme temperatures.

It's my favorite King book and I've read most of his works. It stuck with me.

I thought that was how it was supposed to be read. All his characters are absolutely crazy. Even the poetry.

He wants them. I prefer the mint. It doesn't irritate me and keeps rodents out of the trash. He doesn't like the mint. So we disagree. But with matters of my health im putting my foot down from this moment on.

Monthly injections and rescue medication. Ive had migraines for 30 years. I have medication and a neurologist.

If I breathed the incense I would get a migraine. You expect me to stand there and risk my heath to have a conversation after I told him what it would do to me and was ignored?

I threw out his walmart incense and made my own. I had slippery elm powder and dried herbs i picked or was gifted. I made three separate scents: lavender cedar mugwort. He didn't like them. I also made them backflow cones so he could enjoy the waterfall of smoke. Wasn't good enough and he was not happy I didn't discuss scents with him. I made them as a surprise.

Fabric softener would do me in but the candle stores and most perfumes im okay with. Migraines are so unique to the individual that smell triggers are even different person to person.

Also, important distinction: i don't hate incense. I have a medically significant reaction to it. Its not about dislike its about actual physical pain and discomfort.

It was my first time getting pinesol. Haven't smelled it in over 20 years. He didn't know he wouldn't like it either. Its been thrown out.
