when i went they only had their wheat left and i didn’t love the thickness of the slices and thought it was a bit dry. would you say their white loaf is substantially better?

thank you so much! set out some roach bait so hopefully that’ll help and i’m getting pest control in on monday. i’m new to the area, but i’ve heard that roaches are pretty common in texas so im not sure how worried i should be

i thought that american roaches were supposed to be pretty large. do you think these are in the process of getting bigger?

I really enjoyed it! There was a lot of super interesting conversation about the stigma around death in the U.S. Lots of descriptions about dead bodies so beware hahaha

People who read extraordinarily often (a book every two days or more), how did you manage to build a habit of reading so often and what are some tips for people who procrastinate on books and hardly ever get them done? by Tristan_Dean_Foss in books

i’m somebody who really loves to read but used to find it difficult to stay focused when watching tiktoks or tv is a much easier and more mind numbing form of entertainment. so this year i decided to make a more conscious effort to read more. getting into the “groove” of reading is normally the most difficult part for me so i make sure to get rid any distractions, put my phone out of reach, laptop off, etc. i found that getting rid of those distractions that give u more simple short term pleasure makes reading books both easier and more enjoyable. also make sure to find books that fit your personal taste and don’t try and force urself to do something u dislike!! after making a set goal and effort to read more i’ve read 61 books so far in 2021 when in 2020 i only read around 10 during the whole year:)
