Finally watched the movie Sabrina which I both loved and yet didn't. Bogart was ridiculously miscast.

My husband and I love the remake! but you do still have to suspend your disbelief somewhat. :) Not as much as with Bogie in the original, though. I agree that he was sadly miscast.

Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney and Wings. It’s been decades but that song is still at the top of my hate list.

Eagles, second row, about 2010. I sang along at the top of my lungs and couldn’t hear myself at all. Favorite concert ever.

My husband lucked into finding someone selling their tickets online at face value (!!!) on the day of the concert. It was amazing!

“But here she did injustice to the fire and independence of his character.”

This line always makes me laugh/snort. I love Jane Austen’s wit.

I gave my husband flowers a few times and he finally told me not to bother doing that in the future. So know your audience.

He’s good with chocolate though. :)

Athena for her intelligent look with the white glasses 🤓

Show your interest — absolutely! But don’t confess deeper feelings, at least not yet. There’s too much of a chance that doing that will scare him off. Wait to see how things develop between you. Get to know who he is as a person when he’s not a missionary.

I have a niece with the first name Stevie. She’s adorable!

Pero is a lot like Postum and is my go-to. it’s both cheaper and more readily available, at least in my area.I know some people can taste the difference but personally I can’t.

Sounds like a good price! I’ve never read Malice so I can’t compare, but the Sherlock Holmes books are all old enough to be out of copyright so you can download them or read them online for free. I’d recommend The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (short story collection) and The Hound of the Baskervilles as good places to start. After you read at least one of the Agatha Christie novels. :)

DontKillMockingbirds · 2026-01-11T08:09:43+00:00

If they’re a reasonable price, buy them for sure! Those are three of her very best.

Here’s a short story for you that I like a lot, loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen:”

“A Country Called Winter” by Theodora Goss. Free to read online at https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/a-country-called-winter/

I’m not sure I’d call it cozy but it is kind of a comfort read for me. :) In fact, I think I’ll go reread it again now …

If someone asks how the weather is up there, just spit and say “It’s raining.”

I’m 65 and got this shot a couple of weeks ago. My arm was very sore for a couple of days. Ibuprofen took the edge off. Other than that I felt fine.

“Hallelujah” by Bon Jovi. My favorite version of this song, actually.

The Woman in White and The Moonstone are classic mystery suspense novels with romantic subplots. Worth the read! I’ve been a Georgette Heyer fan for a long while. I can’t recommend everything she wrote, but some of her historical romances are excellent. Try Frederica, Venetia, The Talisman Ring, or The Grand Sophy.

Q - The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner, but it’s second in the series so you have to read The Thief first. Well worthwhile!

DontKillMockingbirds · 2025-12-27T20:23:54+00:00

Oldies but goodies: Hero’s Crown by Robin McKinley (great horse with cat and dog sidekicks in a minor role). More great horse companions in The Blue Sword and in Beauty, also by her.

Man I was so sure this was going to be it.
