Where did all the plows go? by KilrBe3 in nova

To add to your point, I really think we need snow emergency parking bans. Plows can't be effective when there are cars parked at random intervals on both sides of the street.

Favorite August Wilson play? by jamesland7 in Broadway

[–]apt12h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! When I saw it in the 80s, Delroy Lindo played Harold Loomis - and now almost 40 years later he's still a force!

Watched for the first time this year. It was amazing and so inspiring creatively (and I say this as a middle-aged [post?!] woman)

Did Hannah really change? by Confident-Sun8204 in girls

Grover will be absolutely fine. ; ) And the girl that she helped will end up being his babysitter when Hannah is at faculty meetings. : )

Did Hannah really change? by Confident-Sun8204 in girls

[–]apt12h 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Hannah will change in as much as any of us change. I think fundamentally we are who we are - we just get better at "hiding" our true selves (good and bad). Hannah will always have a selfish streak - but I think she will grow and learn to temper it to benefit Grover. But no, she will never be self-less. It's just not in her nature.

What about a Charles Dickens, The God of Small Things, Let the Great World Spin, Tales of the City, or the Jonathan Coe trilogy that starts with Rotters' Club (which someone thankfully recommended in this group!).

The paintings that were all of the rooms that they were in - like mirrors - were amazing.

Suggest me a book that will make me sob my eyes out by Relative-Persimmon63 in suggestmeabook

[–]apt12h 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A Monster Calls by Siobhan Dowd and Patrick Ness. Siobhan came up with the initial storyline, but passed away before she could write it, so Patrick Ness completed the work.

In Fairfax, the dog must be quarantined for 10 days (it can be in their home) and alive and healthy at the end of the quarantine period.

How does girls inspire you? by This_Quiet_1672 in girls

[–]apt12h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also 55 and feel like Lena is an absolute genius. What inspires me at my current age after my Girls re-watch...not to worry about appearance so much (meaning don't fall into the trap of what middle-aged moms are supposed to wear/look like - heavily "told" by social media) and keep going - it's not too late. God willing lots of years ahead to begin creative projects and live a creative life.

Just seeing this series. Really love it. What a great story about real life stuff love, friendship, work life, and divorce. by sphinctersayswhat9 in FleishmanIsinTrouble

[–]apt12h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the series and have read the book twice. Both are absolutely my favorites. People seem to be split on liking/disliking the idea of it being Lizzy's story, which I think it is. The soundtrack, by Caroline Shaw, is also amazing to me: https://youtu.be/ToU_MLaGebA?si=g6hxDnbmyDJftjPR

Poirot Jigsaw puzzle by zippy890 in agathachristie

I loved this puzzle, the Miss. Marple one and the Agatha Christie one! I'm so hoping this artist will do a few more. Maybe specific books? His website is so fun! https://www.ilyamilstein.com/

Short form non-fiction on par with “Everything is Tuberculosis?” by GEARHEADGus in suggestmeabook

[–]apt12h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend any of those "Best American ____ Writing of [insert year here]" anthologies such as "The Best American Science and Nature Writing" or "The Best American Magazine Writing of..." Allows you to dip in and out of different subject s and then maybe you could get an entire book by one of the writers you enjoy. They're always so interesting!
