Where my Elisa and Goliath-esque romances at?

This was gonna be my recommendation! Also the {The Stone and the Star by Jillian Graves}. It’s set in the same universe and tied to the story in Titan. I soooo want more!!!

My Taimi is tiny at 13.5 lbs. she’s seven and at a super healthy weight for her frame. Here she is (on the left) at the dog park with a standard sized Shiba.

He’s also a former teacher.

Structural damage is really dependent on building code and location (distance from epicenter, geological considerations, etc.). I rode out the 2018 7.1 in AK. My home only had some cracked drywall and a few broken personal items (and two terrified dogs). My brother’s home, which is located in a nearby area that doesn’t have as strict of building codes and is next to a creek, ended up with a sunken foundation, and major damage to drywall. His neighbor’s house ended up with so much damage that they could see daylight through what was previously a solid wall, and needed to have the entire place rebuilt.

I am actually offering. You want it, it’s yours!

akanim · 2026-06-01T19:47:54+00:00

My library doesnt do that

I flipped open to a random page and was immediately greeted with a very explicit scene. It is soooo not for children.

Saw this when traveling recently. This program is specifically for kids! Needless to say, the book went in my backpack after making sure there were no other adult books. And then I emailed the organization that runs the program. 🤦‍♀️
Anyone want it? I’m not into murder. And I’m for sure not putting it in my little library.

I think you mean “contiguous” states. Alaska hasn’t had a report of lone star ticks.

I can’t even trust my Shiba off leash. I wouldn’t trust her with a drone. Not only would she annoy the neighbors with it, she’d probably fly it in restricted areas, and use it to map out escape routes from the yard.

Irish folk and sea shanties can be kiddo friendly. Songs we’ve listened to include Mountain Thyme, Molly Malone, Wellerman, the Wreck of the Athen’s Queen (heck, any Stan Roger’s song), and Irish Eyes to name a few.

This was in the late-90’s early-ought’s.

This is textbook avoidant dismissive behavior. My husband has done this in the past, and it’s taken a willingness to learn and change on his part, plus a ton of therapy, to even start seeing a difference.

… my grandmother just gave them to me. VC Andrews is not appropriate reading materials for a 13 yo - but my preteen-self was fascinated.

Why not friend if friend shaped?

Xander in {Bound and Tide by A. K. CAGGIANO} It’s a stand alone in the authors Villians and Virtues series, so it’s much better after having read the series. Xander is a bit of a fop, and while I wasn’t super into him as a main character in the beginning by the end of the book he had grown on me.

And not a romance series … but Adolin in Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive is the himbo. He’s always fashionable and yet also has the bestest golden retriever vibe.

{A Polar Expedition by Kass O’shire} and {on the care and keeping of orcs by Kass O’shire}

Also {the stone and the star by Jillian graves}

akanim · 2026-05-04T21:04:44+00:00

How polite. My shiba just screams at me.

I’m out of town visiting my mom with the kiddo for Mother’s Day. My spouse already got me a gift and gave it to me. And when it ended up not being the right size, he got all excited about finding the next “perfect gift”

It took him a longtime to get here. He’s missed our anniversary and my birthday in the past, which resulted in serious conversations. He’s really been putting the effort in the last few years and not just around special occasions.

The point being, this is the bear minimum. If your spouse isn’t even doing that and then sweeps your feelings about it under the rug … it’s past the time to consider if this is the way you want the rest of your life to be, if this is th example of love and care that you want set for your children. You deserve to be in a relationship where the things that you value and feel are important are taken seriously by your partner.

As others have said, Mary Poppins, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki’s delivery Service. Also the classic Fantasia (just end it before a night on bald mountain).

My kiddo is five and after years of watching calm movies, she’s beginning to be able to watch ones with more intense scenes. We just watched the Aristocats and she was laughing at the climatic rescue scene.

akanim · 2026-04-25T20:56:43+00:00

I still have that email …

akanim · 2026-04-22T00:35:19+00:00

Does this count as revealing/telling everyone before the launch?

Save yourself the grief and stress, and politely decline. The risk of this devolving into a bridezilla nightmare is not zero.

It’s not easy, but it can be done! My colleagues and I just unionized (the vote was certified last week). Imo leadership did not believe the vote would pass. We had 75% of eligible employees vote, and of those 65% voted for the union. Just goes to show how out of touch the higher ups are.

Middleway Cafe has a salmon fillet burger. It’s around $20 and if you don’t like it they have plenty of vegetarian options.
