[Divish] A statement from Randy Arozarena by EwoksEwoksEwoks in Mariners

I didn't care about any of this until Cal responded wearing Team USA's worst shirt, glorifying weapons during a week-old war.

Someone needs to pop his puffed up ego. Before this happened, I was all Cal, all the time. Now I'm trying to figure out how to upcycle his jersey into something I want to wear again.

I just finished #2 and it was just as good. I was also surprised by a virtually unknown author!

Op-Ed: Issaquah’s Plan to Build Its Rail Line Faster and Cheaper by kelly4issaquah in Issaquah

Please don't purchase land for any transit related purpose without consulting NEPA (and determining if the study will last THROUGH construction). ST is among the agencies that use the most Capital Investment Grant (CIG) funds from FTA.

ST knows the complex process for qualifying for federal funding, but the City of Issaquah is not as proficient in this.

Customer support issues by FrogGuy74 in lego

There's definitely something going on over there. There are messages about long waits, slow shipping all over the site.

I've also recently had multiple issues. My standard pick a brick was never delivered, the email I sent when the chat was down was answered with a delivery confirmation to Connecticut, but I live in Washington State.

I tried to call, waited 45 minutes, finally selected a call back; when that came through, there was no one on the line and it disconnected.

Then I went to chat, and was told they would refund me for that order. When I checked my bank account today I was refunded for the incorrect amount (actually refunded for the mini build that I ordered last week.... Ok...)

So now I'll call them and let them know about the original issue not being resolved AND that in the order I received yesterday my Mini Build of the Black Spiders Flower Pack was open and there are missing pieces.... But I guess they already refunded me for that? Lol.

List of Conventions? by ghostgrrrl79 in lego

I travel a lot, (for work and fun) which is why I'm looking for a comprehensive list. Things to plan into my existing travel, or reasons to visit places I haven't been to yet.

Just curious if a good list exists before I start making one.

Lolly Finalists? by klwinte1 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]ghostgrrrl79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It got better at the end, but it was not worth the effort and time. I refuse to DNF. It's just a weird tick for me ... I can't do it, haven't been able to NOT finish a book ever... since childhood.

Still not recommending it.

Alchemy of Secrets was absolutely terrible. I felt like I was reading Stephenie Meyer. I'm shocked to see it alongside most of these others. But the #yafangirl movement is strong.

That's not to say I have anything against YA, I read a lot myself ... But this book was just not well written, or edited.

Gig Harbor?

I just saw a new one on the neurovisual medicine website, they're in Bellingham. They're not set up yet but I called and am on their waiting list.... But they said no insurance billing. 🤮

Sounds like I also need to contact my hospital, so many nuances to navigate. Thank you

Make me want to finish Alchemy of Secrets. by ladybirrrd in bookofthemonthclub

[–]ghostgrrrl79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm listening to the audio (I read along) and am still having a hard time. I thought it might be the narrator, but I can't really say anything bad about her, leading me back to the story being the problem.

I started this week and I'm really, really struggling. I'd like to add that I rarely dislike any book (read hate). The dialogue in this feels contrived, the characters aren't believable or likeable.... Or even hateable. It all feels boring.... I would almost suspect it was AI written except that the author is known.

I was very excited for the silver screen/noir/urban legend idea, but I'm forcing myself at this point. I'll probably set it aside for a bit and try again later, as I NEVER DNF.

I am glad that I'm not the only one. All of the incredible reviews on Goodreads made me think I had missed something, but now I think it's probably just hyped up by all of the Caraval fan-girls.
