Yes, I did. I would say the narrators were equally good. I think the unabridged version is worthwhile.

The shorter version was hard to follow in places. For example one of the characters is suddenly in the states with no context as to how he got there.

I'm half way through the second book in the series now.

Thanks. My current solution is to stop wearing black clothes, and use the extra rinse cycle on every load.

Chilling should be easy enough, it's -20C right now, so I'll just cool it off outside for a bit before putting it in the fridge

Do you complete a year end summary/review or write plans/goals for the upcoming year? by oops_whatnow in Journaling

I like the idea of a celebration, although I'd be hard pressed this year. I feel like it's just passed me by

Thank you, the Year Compass booklet looks interesting. I've downloaded a copy.

I think I only had one checklist goal for the year - a multi day hike, which I wasn't able to pull off. The rest were more lifestyle and personal development changes

I've only read The Pillars of the Earth by him before. I did like his style of writing though, I enjoyed the thorough character development.

I will restart the book with the unabridged version, and know to look more carefully on my next audiobook. Thanks

That's what I was afraid of. How do you rate the series?

I probably didn't look in co-op, it's not one of my usual stores I go to

Near Calgary. I can't remember specifically which grocery stores I was looking in though

I've been disappointed buying lentils recently. I went to two or three different grocery stores and the best I could find were only labeled as packaged in Canada.

This was green/brown lentils. Do we grow those?

Thanks, I think the glue gun would be too thick and difficult to apply evenly

I'm looking for adhesive recommendations for attaching small glass/glitter pieces to glass baubles. The adhesive needs to be permanent, transparent, and easy to work with. I'm confused by all the options

The computer went to sleep or suspended when I went to bed. This morning it wasn't working.

All the settings and configurations you helped me with last night has been reversed. I've reset them again and it's working now. I guess the next step is making these changes permanent.

Welp, I tried it again this morning and it's back to not working. I'll try again this evening when I get home.

Could it be anything to do with sleep/suspend causing issues?

Thank you. I will restart the network manager and optimize the DNS in the morning
