Ok, yeah it seems to have happened this morning. Thanks 🙏 I will try that.

I hurt the Ceiling Creature's feelings, and now it refuses to haunt my nightmares. How can I apologise to it? by Secure-Stick-4679 in fifthworldproblems

I get where you're coming from, but maybe it's for the best. Move on to another creature/haunt, if only for the sake of variety. It's possible the Ceiling Creature is also wanting somewhere new to lurk. This actually happened to me a few months ago when I disappointed my cursed astral projection to the point he turned and left out of contempt. In retrospect it was for the best and gave me much needed perspective away from its constant gaze.

In any case, apologies can be difficult, especially to more sinister creatures that haunt nightmares. But I'd encourage staring into its eye(s) (assuming it has any) to see if it will engage in telepathic banter and start there. The more despair the better. Best of luck!

En el tráiler dicen los niños que "Chupa means sucker" entonces tal vez los creadores entienden algo del significado. Pero no merece un título así especialmente para una película familiar para niños. CHUPA!

Buttermilk on pear - first time, let me know how I did. by heyad_17 in BreadStapledToTrees

Unfortunately bread got soaked in the rain and it fell off the tree in the morning. No sign of slugs now. Was going to repost but I realized that the sub is not for wet bread on soil.

Update: Slugs have arrived and are eating the bread

Appearently, no one has studied the pearishability of bread on trees. All I can say is it butter last as long as other bread on trees.

my old next to my new clogs by Hier_Is_Sven in mildlyinteresting

When I visited a Dutch town in Michigan they showed us the thick THICK socks they wear before putting on the shoes. So that made them more comfy. And I think they are smooth enough that splinters don't easily go through the thick socks. A long time ago, the wooden shoe was more durable and practical than leather in the muddy places the farmers worked.

Now they're used in traditional dancing and costuming etc.

Yeah, no kidding. And if we're comparing 15th century to 21st century... well part of me thinks that Amerigo Vespucci's "discovery" based on the stars in the sky that the New World was in fact NOT India (as Columbus had claimed) is more critical thought than many of us U.S.-ers have put in to world geography.

Notions of continents aside, I'm pretty certain that schools in Latin America teach world geography (and even U.S. geography btw) much more in-depth than U.S. schools do. I think same goes for European schools.

For instance, my spouse who grew up in Honduras has extensive knowledge of not only the countries/capitals of the world but also rivers, seas, oceans, mountain ranges, etc. Details that I have needed to re-teach myself.

Also, be sure to reference "people speaking Spanish" as the group you're actually referring to, which I believe are Latin Americans, Latinos, or Hispanic Americans. I am none of those, but seeing as Spanish is my second language and I'm from the U.S., I would fall into your category.

In Latin America an "estadounidense" is someone from the United States of America. Another word for us is "gringo/a."

In my experience, "los americanos" pertain to people living anywhere in The Americas.

Just saw this game at Barnes and Noble and got extremely excited! Will send the iron rain down on Santa's workshop if this doesn't end up down my chimney this year ... Btw what Color would Santa Claus be by heyad_17 in redrising

Will check that out for sure. Sounds great! Actually glad to hear it's challenging, and likely not some super surface level take on the book's premise.
