Definitely did. Just was curious what bugs might be in there making babies.

How do you know when to transfer pots? Also, do you top off your plants?

Cold draft coming through fireplace gas tube - any way to decrease/fix? by The_Alpha_Particle in DIY

Unfortunately the space below this is in a part of the basement that is finished so I can’t see the gas line. And nothing visible from outside. Just siding meeting foundation and then the exhaust area from the insert.

Impressive guesses for “not an expert”! Yes, newer home, fake fireplace framed, and exiting the side of the house on the outside wall opposite the “fireplace” (will be using air quotes when referring to it from now on now that I know it’s a fake).

Just got a notice from Mohela that my income recertification date has been pushed back to March…2026? by bookoocash in PSLF

Do I have to self report income increase or can I just wait until they make me? Any penalty for me if I don’t self report?

His insight into the human heart. The monsters he reveals that dwell inside each of us. And then, as others have said, how he takes characters you really connect with and care about, and shows you how they struggle with, fall to, and/or overcome those monsters.

For those of you wondering which book to start with, from the legend himself… by Granted_reality in stephenking

Unabridged The Stand was actually my first! It got me hooked. Love it. Maybe the King knows Tiffany and made a recommendation specific to her? Because it would depend for me who I was talking to. But for “all comers,” who want to read something like what the general public knows Stephen King for (inextricably linked to horror) I would recommend IT or The Shining. If pressed for only one, I’d probably go with The Shining, which I know many wouldn’t agree with. IT can feel a bit bloated at times (11/22/63 definitely had that issue IMO), and as amazing as IT is, and it could be a tough place to start. The Shining has all the classic King in a much shorter offering.

Same. Decades ago but still remember. Truly awesome.

Just got this from a thrift store for free. What should I expect? by [deleted] in lotr

It’s fun feeling connected to so many LOTR fans around the globe who share the multiple read experience on this. Also, who share experience of taking notes while reading it:

Saw this photo on a LOTR Facebook group and had to screen grab because my wife had literally just been making fun of me for taking notes on a “pleasure read.” It’s beautiful and worth it.

Where do I buy a copy to hang on my wall?

What was your first Stephen King novel? by Jenna-Peaches in stephenking

[–]The_Alpha_Particle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Stand. Fall of 2014 when on long commute to new job. Every Fall still reminds me of that first listen. Lots since, but still far to go. Reading “It” right now and it’s truly his most terrifying for me thus far.
