I imagine it shows itself where processes get dropped, whether it’s walking into a room and forgetting what you were doing, losing train of thought mid sentence, or even passing out when you laid down to watch something.

Murgatroyd, which was the last name of one of the dancers on Dancing With The Stars. To me, it sounds very sci-fi, it makes me think of how Trillian combined her first and last name to make something sound more “space-like” in Hitchhikers Guide.

If you keep both armadillos in a single case, it looks like you only have the one violin. A classic beginner mistake is to give each their own case.

If I’ve literally learned anything, it’s that if a bunch of us keep using it as a compliment to mean quirky, we can shift the meaning!

Wouldn’t the money go into escrow? If you could preemptively deposit your money, would that count as spending it in this made up scenario?

This is a bad take. I’ve never read Romance novels, but I’m not enough of a book snob to tell people that things that get them reading or brings them joy is awful, wooden or painful to read.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
-Maya Angelou

Harry Potter was valuable in getting millions of people, especially children, interested in reading. Not everything needs to be high art, and not everything needs to appeal to you. You’re clearly not the target audience, so don’t shit on someone because they enjoy a thing that you don’t.
If there is something offensive in a book, it can and should be discussed, and readers can become aware of representation and other issues this way, but you’re not trying to have a good faith discussion with your comments above.

I get migraines triggered from sinus pressure. Do you know what triggers yours?

Because mine are often from sinus issues, treating that will often help relieve or prevent the migraines. Tylenol Sinus and Allegra D have been the two things that really work for me, depending on the situation.

Post Covid had me congested for several months, accompanied by a constant baseline headache and migraines every other day. Allegra D was really a godsend that got me through that time.

In any case, best of luck, I hope you find some relief!

Ha! You might as well give up and wear diapers at that point!

Yes! I loved Rocky Rococo’s! Jets can almost scratch that itch, but I wish there were still Rocky Rococo’s near me.

Depending on your definition of literary, one of my favorites was Hellboy’s My Vacation in Hell. If I end up finding a version posted somewhere, I’ll add a link.

That’s interesting! I’d hate if the unusual word came up randomly in an everyday situation. “Not like this!” as you fight your bladder from releasing a deluge while you’re on a commute on a bus…
