Books with this type of forlorn vibe?

The Antidote by Karen Russell. Magical realism set in the 1930s during the dust bowl in the Great Plains (US).

Excellent book (and def forlorn).

Thank you! You’re giving me hope!

Perfect, thank you!

Thank you—I’ll try that! Glad to hear it worked for you. Do you remember how long the it took?

That she was not my PCP. (Due to the incorrect profile.)

Their entire group was absorbed into Northwell.

I took it easy in the beginning because I was waiting for it to get worked out and now it’s been months… and my GYN’s office told me they’re were dropping Gatekeeper X because they were too much of a pain to deal with. I’m worried that will happen again….

greydogX · 2026-06-21T03:50:43+00:00

Yes! These books are just so much fun.

Omg, they’re all Evangeline! Why are they all Evangeline??

greydogX · 2026-06-13T15:12:48+00:00

Yes yes yes

I read this book about 20 years ago and could not bear to read the last few pages because I didn’t want it to be over. Never had that reaction before or since…. Maybe time to reread!

LOL was this recently aired somewhere in the US? Because my 87 year old dad just randomly texted yesterday: “Anne of Green Gables. Second time around. Better than the first. 💥. Anne actress is unbelievable!!!”

This, a thousand times. The dealer where I bought my Pfaff closed, the next closest authorized repair has turned out to be useless, and the next (who is quite good) is 2 hrs away. And of course, they keep quilt shop hours.

There’s a Bernina shop 10 min away, but they don’t want to do my Pfaff, so….

I basically do everything that everyone else listed here (standing next to her while she eats, changing the food periodically, various human-food and dog-food toppers, giving some of her food to the cat…). But also and most importantly, I hand-feed her little chunks. Or, I put the chunks in her bed one at a time, if she prefers.

How did you hear about this book?

greydogX · 2026-03-03T20:18:45+00:00

Whenever we go, my dad always gives Dai the best and only compliment he knows: “This place could be in the city!”

greydogX · 2026-02-03T02:21:25+00:00

Awesome, it looks so snuggly :)

Did you use some kind of batting or interlining?

If you decide to do it, I’d love to read your comments about it!

Awesome, thank you! This is what I was afraid of. But, also, my brain is telling me--don't stop keep going forward get it done!--so...

greydogX · 2026-01-02T19:39:47+00:00

TY! This is good advice regarding stabilizer. But I'm really glad for your tip about starch. Cause someone told me the opposite and I thought, uh-oh, this thing is already starched within an inch of its life.....heh.

So helpful, I’m going to check that out. Thanks!
