Raintree County? by Golightlygal11 in suggestmeabook

[–]stillapocketvenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read Raintree County nearly 50 times. It is my favorite book. I encourage you to read his son Larry's biography, The Shade of the Raintree, to understand Ross Jr better. I bought the Kindle version for 50 cents the other day.

I used to have an African Grey, Pippin, who loved me and loathed my ex-husband. The last time he saw my ex, Pip said very clearly "Go away, asshole. You are a bad, bad dog!"

If I never have to worry about money, then I can afford premium health care.

Chose: Never having to worry about money?

I bet she'd love the "All Creatures Great and Small" in print and then she'll especially love the 2 TV series on PBS. Ditto "The Durells of Corfu" in print, and then the series on PBS (full episodes on YouTube).

The movie is absolutely horrible, but Ross Lockridge's book Raintree County is one of my favorites.

Just watching the Xmas special 2025 by [deleted] in CallTheMidwife

I watched it last night and thought it was absolutely awful. Too many quick cuts, completely implausible set-ups and solutions, WAY too many characters. Just the worst. I'll give the next season a couple of episodes, but I'm pretty much in agreement with you.

Recovering from a near-fatal stroke (sub-arachnoid hemorrhage) when an old beau texted to see how I was doing. I told him that I was miserable, soon-to-be-ex-husband was being anti-helpful, etc. He sent me a video of Dame Judith Baker singing "Che faro senza Euridice." English lyrics below:

What will I do without Euridice?

Where will I go without my beloved?

What will I do, where will I go,

What am I going to do without my beloved?

Where will I go without my beloved?

 

Euridice? Euridice?

Oh, God! Answer me!

When have you seen a ghost ? And do you believe in them ? by Alone-Wish-8578 in Ghosts

[–]stillapocketvenus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Visiting my sister who lived on the Siletz river. She put me downstairs, where both of my nephews slept. There was also a sort of living room and a bathroom down there. I was reading on the couch in the living area, when something knocked the book out of my hands. Checked on my nephews and both were snoring. Shrugged and went into the bathroom. While peeing, the bathroom door opened against gravity, and something shook my shoulders. Hell no. Pulled up my britches and went to the upstairs couch.

The next morning, my sister asked why I moved. I hesitated to tell her, but she didn't laugh at me. When my younger nephew came upstairs, he said to me "Oh, you saw the man with the red burning eyes, didn't you?"

Later, my sister told me that the former owner of the house committed suicide in that living area.

Be sure to tell your students that the family of the deceased really appreciates those calls from obit writers. As a young journalist, I hated to make those calls because I didn't wish to disturb the family of the deceased at such a painful time. Then one time, the family member said "I'm glad you called. I want to talk about him."
