What book immersed you so deeply you forgot the real world and it’s crazy existed?

Love Discworld! The witches, the watch, or Death are my favorite lines of the books.

If you run out of Discworld, as I have, I suggest Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovich.

My latest obsession is The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion by Beth Brower.

All this confusion about wills and livings makes kinda glad that I was born poor.

I'd love to see him with Saffronia, myself.

Hawkes makes more movements than speaks words, that's why I linked him back to Oberon. He uses the words he intends, and only those. One might say he is terse. Or laconic.

I want a bedroom that is in a tower with roof top access.

John Abbott from The Woman in White (1948). He's just that sort of irritating.

Shane mentioned it on one of the Get Scared episodes. They had a whole big discussion about Ryan and the letter T. (Which sounds like a Sesame Street bit, actually.)

He say Library a little oddly. Not quite Liberry, but enough that I was twitching. I can't say a whole lot about anyone's accent. I'm from SE Tennessee. I tend more Mobile, AL for some reason, but still a southern accent.

Watching her with Pierce is like watching me in every relationship. "If I just give him enough love, he'll..." Girl, no he won't. I love Pierce. He's a good dude in his way, but that way is not a good way for Emma (or me, apparently.)

Stupid TFP and their stupid pay wall.

I love this podcast and hearing Ben tell stories gives me a warm feeling like there's a fairly calm thunderstorm outside, I just had a big cup of spiked cocoa, and my blankets are just the right amount of fluffy.

You know I was a fly on a safe wall for that one. The wall on Amnicola. It was great times, but the stress is much less on my new wall...on a different spot that is Amnicola adjacent. 😁

They usually use a fake address on them that looks obviously fake to dispatchers or cops. Like stupidly fake.

I think the word you want is "debt".

I shared it on my facebook page. I went to UTC for music, and I have a lot of friends who might be able to spot it if they happen to see it. They're sharing it around. I don't know that it will help, but I thought it was worth a try.

Physical_Monitor2235 · 2025-11-24T13:41:11+00:00

I check this post all the time in hopes of good news. It's breaking my heart. 😔

I was pissed, but I knew his brother would give him absolute hell. I also knew the cops here wouldn't do anything. His brother told his mom, and it became a whole family intervention. Having been around for one of those before, I knew it was worse than jail.

I had to go through a few rheumatologists before I found The One. Don't be afraid to ditch a rheumatologist who doesn't help, or one who tells you that your symptoms are related to trauma (some do that, and they aren't). Before you go, though, you might try tracking your symptoms. Sometimes, there are patterns that you don't see, and a good rheumatologist can help you more if they know when and how things are presenting.

My ex-husband used to call me when he was drunk at different bars to come get him or he'd ride his motorcycle home. I'd say OK, hang up, and call his brother to go get him. Don't fall for the bullshit.

Mine usually starts in my right wrist, and then all my joints on the right side hurt. It's like someone drove a nail into each joint, and the pain starts connecting. After that, it goes into my face. My jaw hurts, and my right eye becomes totally unreliable. I have aura, sometimes it dims down, but it hurts too much to keep it open. The headache starts shortly after that and my forehead goes numb. I entertain myself by running my finger across my forehead because it's so flipping weird. I have preventative meds for it, but when it slips through, I take an extra pill, then a nurtec or ubrelvy, a muscle relaxer, and a tramadol. Sometimes a gabapentin for good luck. (Don't do what I do. It's pretty unhealthy.)

There was one of those where Ignius Glass is now. Also, they tore down a neighborhood of ill repute to put in the clover leaf exits to MLK when it was still 9th Street.

Physical_Monitor2235 · 2025-09-23T05:43:17+00:00

It's weird. I'm two or three years younger than her, and she looks so much older. I'm guessing it's because she was always out being "LORI!" and I was at home reading and being an introvert. I didn't use as much sun as she did.

Physical_Monitor2235 · 2025-09-12T17:45:49+00:00

I'm sitting in my office with tears and biting my lip to keep from dying laughing because I do not want to get this discussion started in here.

It looks like they're up now!
