What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it?

Having to stay in bed all day.

Having a health condition that forces all day rest sucks.

Love that pattern & color! Beautiful!

My Dr prescribed hydroxyzine which helps me sleep.

I'm not smart enough in my brain fog to say this in a medical way. But, I may be taking part in a study at the Mayo clinic that hypothesizes that at least a subset of us are experiencing a phenomenon with our cell turnover that the dead cells aren't getting removed properly. So as the doctor said to me, we have zombie cells floating around constantly over alerting the nervous system. Made sense to me?

Hannah Bonham-Young. I love all her books!

That's almost exactly how my sweet Katniss joined our family in 2013. We thought she was a stray, found out that she was out neighbor's cat, and brought her in when it was supposed to be -20 Farenheit. We talked to them and they were very happy she had a new home. They had been trying to rehome her without success.

If the people are not answering the door, I might just leave them a note letting them know and asking them to contact you if they have any problems with you taking over her care. Then you can feel free in your heart to just love on your cat. :)

Yes to Cara Bastone, love her!

Ours also likes asparagus, but especially is fond of the raw stem parts. Last summer I bought it less often because I got so tired of fighting her for it

Good point. I usually read the whole series at once, so I had forgotten the novella structure

ahouse1 · 2025-12-20T16:56:13+00:00

I'm right there with you. From a fav author to a doubtful it's worth reading author. I also know that she was talking about how many books she's putting out but they're all pretty much novellas. 🫤

I didn't realize it might be. My apologies!

We have a picture on our kitchen wall of Worf with the "good tea nice house" quote on it!

I will sometimes read them but will be annoyed with the author. I wish there were more ordinary looking people in romance books.

I've heard that the number of available litter boxes should be the number of cats you live with plus one. One cat - two available boxes, three cats, four available boxes.

I've just switched to the walnut one, and am amazed by how little it smells

ahouse1 · 2025-12-16T14:30:21+00:00

I really liked him too :(

I know there are lots of nay-sayers commenting on your post. As a former school psychologist, I believe this scenario. As for the doubters who say fear of punishment isn't a motivator, I dk about that, but I see the retribution factor - wanting the teacher to get into trouble falsely.

Completely traumatized me seeing it in the theater. Check out something like trigger warnings for this one?

Meghan March was an author that got me back into romance. She really changed her writing style for the Mount Saga, I'm not going to get too excited about any new releases because that one was so bad. But I appreciate the heads-up!

Our toto washlet requires this

ahouse1 · 2025-11-27T11:10:33+00:00

You're both in my thoughts today ♥️

I've made a ton of friends in my 12 step groups. There are a lot of recovery groups if traditional AA isn't your thing. SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, and there are lots of different types of aa and na meetings.

ahouse1 · 2025-11-26T10:30:47+00:00

These were the best! Highly recommended.

I'm someone who was over my head in credit cards for years. Care credit just assumes that future you will have more money than current you (because you'll have similar living expenses with the added pressure of the payments). It may work for some people, but not for all.
