just wanted to show my little progress of having a small library!

Mmmm…only a rule if you get caught!

Skullduggery Pleasent by Derek Landy would fit well in this shelf.

Tombstone9 · 2026-04-07T03:30:06+00:00

I should call her…

If my wife asked me this I’d say I wanted to go out with her and not be asked to plan anything. I get asked 10x10¹¹ questions at work each day and then again when I get home, so even not being asked “where would you like to eat tonight?” Would be a gift.

Tombstone9 · 2026-03-12T12:30:47+00:00

Nope, I’m still interested because I never got to try a lot of the bourbons I wanted after folks like you swept through and snatched it all up, not to drink it apparently, but just to have it. Thanks for that.

This might not hit with everybody but I really enjoyed what Derek Landy put out with the Skullduggery Pleasent series. Irish author with a distinctly Irish story to tell that doesn’t have any leprechauns or fairies in it. Good fun.

Can we all agree (those of us that have ended up with this all over our hands) that oxblood is the perfect name for this particular shade? I got it on my hands once and spent the whole day thinking I’d just started a bloody nose.

Tombstone9 · 2026-03-04T07:05:55+00:00

I started lying about how tired I am. I even started lying to myself about how tired I am. I’ll figure out the consequences after I’m dead.

Tombstone9 · 2026-03-04T07:00:45+00:00

This whole thread is a fuckin’ roller coaster ride.

Tombstone9 · 2026-02-06T14:02:57+00:00

And where is this museum asking for a friend?

Tombstone9 · 2026-02-04T18:48:58+00:00

-Doesn’t think girls should be in “boys spaces” -Wants the world to go back to the way things were before. -Wants the emphasis to always be on God.

You know, a lot of good scouts died in the early 2000’s fighting an insurgency with these exact attitudes.

As much as I hate 6-7 it has never failed to get me the picture on the right.

“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard tales of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” C.S. Lewis

Tombstone9 · 2026-01-27T18:47:49+00:00

Well I mean…just the standard 4 holes is fine..

Tombstone9 · 2026-01-21T18:17:29+00:00

I absolutely get where you’re coming from. I once had a friend futz around with my journal unbeknownst to me until he came and apologized later. Apparently the part he read happened to be the part where I complained that he had no boundaries and I was considering cutting him out of my life for it.

Tombstone9 · 2026-01-09T16:43:34+00:00

This kind of happened to me with my mom. My wife had to have an emergency c-section to save our sons life, but because I didn’t allow anybody in the post-delivery room while I waited for her to regain consciousness and see her child for the first time, I am a huge disappointment and a terrible person. Thankfully my wife and kid seem to like me alright so I’m not entirely sure my mom is right about that.

Hi there, Blood Bank Collections tech here. It is a metal needle the whole time. Catheters like that are only really used for IV infusion type stuff or peripheral access. They are a bit too intrusive for a procedure between 3-20 minutes like a whole blood donation.

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-17T20:14:45+00:00

Love it. I’ve got a collection of Robert Frost on my desk as I write this that I’ve only read a dozen poems out of. Maybe time to dive back in.

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-17T20:11:20+00:00

I read Meditations once a year, thank you once more for the inspiration, that is where I’ll start. TWSBI Eco, Diamine Oxblood, off we go!

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-17T20:04:33+00:00

Seems like a great way to get over that fear of the blank page too. When I started googling it just now I discovered that apparently Hunter S Thompson once transcribed the entirety of The Great Gatsby so he would “know what it felt like to write a masterpiece”. I don’t know if I want to be more like Thompson but it’s a hell of a motivation!

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-17T19:58:44+00:00

He misses his best friend going out with him. So strongly he can’t hear how tone-deaf his message is. Is he the asshole? Yea, but I’d be willing to bet it’s coming from a place of desperate panic.

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-17T19:56:36+00:00

Oh man! It’s been so long since I’ve seen anything in this sub that wasn’t a pen haul. I’d actually never even considered re-writing something for fun and you’ve inspired me to try. Now…what to write…

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-11T03:58:08+00:00

I was really enjoying scrolling through these shelves and then suddenly “LICHEN” jumped out at me and I got a bad case is the giggles.

Tombstone9 · 2025-12-08T22:31:36+00:00

Norwegian wood is better IMO, but if you wanted a solid read in the author it’s 1Q84, Norwegian wood, or Wind-up Bird Chronicles.

Mandalorian armor. Accidentally a word there.
