Want to read a book but can’t afford to buy it?

❌ don’t pirate/steal it

✅ join your local library and borrow the book for FREE.

If the library doesn’t have the book you want, ask if they can buy it.

You get to read.
Authors get paid.
Libraries stay open.

I definitely sighed over Chris O'Donnell's curls.
And to this day, I acknowledge someone "a fool" for doing the thing only a fool would do.
Now I also know a red is best paired with a carriage chase.

Among the least addressed Facebook perils are posts in groups with which I have no affiliation that rise unbidden in my timeline.
Box turtle husbandry, sketchy tessellation, potato chip jigsaw.
This knowledge is forbidden; it is not for me to know.
Yet, it *could* be mine, whispers my mind.

The character's first name is Bluebird, but it's an uncommon name in Australia. "Blue" is the nickname.
Based on what we learned in S2xE5, I do wonder if she chose it herself.

At least, she guesses that's the case.
Blue and Rosie are my faves, and I particularly enjoy when they have scenes together.

Well, now I have the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S soundtrack stuck in my head.

We're already contestants in Eurovision, so it's just a formality to get us into the EU at this point, isn't it?

Facebook blocked Cyclone Alfred searches and hasn't explained why

On my lunchtime walk in #Adelaide, I noticed the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors is thoughtfully headquartered directly opposite the TAFESA city campus.
If you're going to have a little breakdown waiting for the bus at exam time, odds are good someone nearby is equipped to help.

Sometimes, when I enjoy an older video on #YouTube, I'll #like random, non-specific comments from 10 years ago or something that are just "I love this!".
That person then gets a notification linking them back to the video that they possibly completely forgot, so they can watch it again and #smile.

Partner and I were in a How It's Made era and got into the habit of suggestively repeating steps in the process. E.g.: "I'll fill YOUR ramekins with batter."
Now it just happens as part of casual conversation. The more off-putting the verb:noun combo the better.
