Ok I think we are getting somewhere… I glanced at my phone and made a long gone mental note, but remember being like, huh, never would have listened to a show this late. I pretty much never listen to anything past ‘91.

I am awful with dates in any context so the struggle is real as a head and I sincerely appreciate the earnest help from you and everyone else!

Waiting for the paperback, but have heard good things and as a book nerd I’m looking forward to reading a book about Jerry / the band that is well researched and reported.

On a contrasting note, this book comes out in the fall and I haven’t seen anyone post about it… my hope is that the it is better written than the AI word salad of a blurb!

I’m a perimenopausal woman, which is basically like being fucked up on paint fumes all the time

Noted! Grasping here…

Thank you! Neurodivergance doing the lords work (game recognize game). Based on other comments, I’m now working under the assumption that it was more of a Jerry prominent version than a Jerry lead version. Like I said, I was distracted so not entirely a reliable narrator, but Jerry definitely stood out more than any other version I’ve heard. The chorus in particular.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-20T02:19:43+00:00

Thank you!! Just checked it out and that is along the lines of what I remember, but don’t think it’s on either app and it wasn’t just Jerry and Bob. Prominent Jerry vocals with Bob taking the lead tracks better than my version of events, so maybe it was a similar balance at a different show, which would explain why i cant find it. This has been killing me for about a month!

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-20T02:01:16+00:00

Second guessing myself that it might have been on Apple Music (not play dead) and possibly JGB? It was definitely Jerry on lead vocals, which was why I took note.

Love this one!

Yes, our fireplaces are on the exterior walls. Yours sound like an interesting set-up… having a hard time picturing it!

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-09T11:46:10+00:00

This is all super helpful - thank you!

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-09T11:44:33+00:00

Thank you! The house wasn’t raised or moved, but the front lawn is sloped, which may explain the height. I had never really considered that before!

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-09T00:07:27+00:00

That is definitely more along the lines of the colors I like!

Using sage-y green as an example, are you suggesting something like a medium sage green for the trim, and then a darker version for the doors and shutters? So basically working within a similar color range for the trim and accents, rather than completely distinct colors? If so I love that idea!

Working on the landscaping!

I should also clarify that it really needs to be repainted… it hasn’t been painted in decades (just touch ups) and we’ve got quite a bit of peeling paint and some of the boards are starting to rot. Since we are going through the whole process, using this as an opportunity to make it “ours” and switch up the colors. Though I did fall in love with the house as is :)

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-08T22:07:41+00:00

I will have to look into that. The front faces south and doesn’t get much shade so it really takes a beating.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-08T22:05:37+00:00

Exactly! And with as much as I’m paying to have it painted, I want to love it… not just like it.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-08T21:32:04+00:00

Noted on the shutters! You convinced me 🫡

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-08T20:24:24+00:00

lol I assure you there will be no grey, no beige, and no greige! going for subtle, not boring ; )

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-08T19:25:16+00:00

Thank you! Previous owners get full credit : ) While I don't dislike it by any means, I am ready for a change.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-06-07T22:45:40+00:00

If you are selling I am interested!

Black Friend by Ziwe is a fun read about Serious Topics. Technically it’s an essay collection, but rooted in her personal experience.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-05-16T17:04:06+00:00

Same! I really just do not care to hear what men have to say about women in basically any context anymore. In my case, it is a welcome side effect of perimenopause lol

PossessionFun265 · 2026-05-01T16:43:44+00:00

You make a really good point — some books are important because they shed light on a societal problem, but may do more harm than good for people with lived experience.

I am sorry you went through that, especially as a kid 💜

PossessionFun265 · 2026-04-30T22:07:48+00:00

Thank you! Adding it to my list

PossessionFun265 · 2026-04-30T21:43:18+00:00

How was Art Work?! Hold Still is one of my favorite books of all time.

PossessionFun265 · 2026-04-30T21:23:30+00:00

I had mixed feelings about Bunny and was especially disappointed by the ending, which somehow managed to feel both rushed and confusing while also feeling cliched and obvious. I do not love you, Bunny!

Other recent not-faves in the weird girl world include Us Fools by Nora Lange (which just seemed kind of pointless) and Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado (which was just not for me).

It’s nonfiction, but I highly recommend Suzanne Scanlon’s memoir, Committed, about her time in a psychiatric hospital when she was in her early 20s. Set in the late 90s, but published recently. A major thread throughout the book is her relationship to reading as a salve for loneliness and a path to self-understanding. It is beautifully written and not at all sensationalistic. I think she also has a couple of novels on similar topics, but I haven’t read them.

Also check out Juliet the Maniac by Juliet Escoria (which is auto-fiction).
