I don't like it when Godzilla fights the other monsters. I'd rather see them settle their differences on the dance floor.

"While many indie bookstores are bulking up on horror, several entrepreneurs are taking it a step further by opening stores exclusively dedicated to scary reads."

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

why do optometrists have such superior personalities and bedside manners to any other kind of doctor
eye doctor offices always have such a pleasant vibe
I never get the feeling that I’m entering a fortress of doom equipped with torture chambers (average medical doctor experience)

was on a semi hiatus from social media due to selling a house & looking for a new place & two months later moving into a new

social bandwidth is slowly returning but I believe I could sleep till winter
