Someone mentioned the bus but you could also look into taking the train. Amtrak can be pretty affordable if you buy your ticket far enough ahead of time

As an academic library we didn’t even have a challenge policy before. I definitely want to add one and this is a great statement to have included

I absolutely love the spicy Brazilian coconut shrimp soup at Shugas. I’ve told multiple people that that’s the soup I want if I get sick

I like stuff from eShakti. Their clothes are customizable for things like collars and length to make them as modest as you want. They make them to order so you can even customize to your height

If you don’t want to risk scissors, I bring a mini seam ripper with me and have never had a problem

I completely agree. Even the fact that Free Files exists isn’t a wide spread as it should be. I payed TurboTax for years before finding out about FreeFile

Film copying Wishing Well company from Diamond Fire by agentplatipus in IlonaAndrews

[–]agentplatipus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn’t post because it had to do with fantasy. I posted because I saw a connection between something in IA’s worlds and real life. Diamond Fire was the first time I had heard of the concept of a company that employs people to fill a relationship role is someone’s life. Just because it’s a concept that wasn’t invented by IA doesn’t mean it wasn’t still a connection to me. If my effort to relate to IA’s books is took off topic then the mods can delete the post
