So apparently the weird noodle-arm situation I've got going on the past month is thanks to "Golfer's Elbow." An injury I received not while golfing (something I've never done,) but from
BREAKING UP SNOWCRETE with a claw hammer in January.
Sigh. If only I'd had a mattock.
NOOO!!!! Not that close to my house! We'll be listening to those damned pop-pop noises all day and all night!
I'm gonna go ahead and heavily NIMBY on this one.
Uh oh. On a scale where "Fantasy Plot" is on the left and "Romance Plot" is on the right, where would you put CC? And for control purposes, where would you put the various ACOTAR books?
(I know you've explained this to me before, but I forgot. My apologies, Sensei.)
Hmm... I dunno... does Crescent City contain MORE or LESS fairy porn than ACOTAR?
OMG the ballad to Gerry Chandler. You people are maniacs. Brilliant maniacs.
Reddit says I have to go read all of Crescent City before I can read book 6. Is this true?
Not very brief, now is it?
I once gave a lecture about the Latvian Mafia to an audience of 60 people sitting in a gigantic hot tub in Mexico.
Christ, just realized I didn't include the prompt. I am so bad at this.
WW2 refugee: farmer in the ol' country, farmhand in the US, then worked in a paint factory. Saved enough to buy and run his own orchard/vineyard.
WW2 refugee: Lutheran minister on the ol' country & the US. Leader in the refugee community: founded summer camp, taught in refugee school, wrote books.
I suspect that's not only because of the introduction of the AI overview, but also because the most relevant links are no longer at the top of the list. By the time people scroll past the AI overview AND all the endless sponsored content, their (ahem, our) attention spans are expended.
Thank you!
Where/how can we look up people's donor history like this?
Thank you for flagging this! I'm about to head downtown and forgot about the track work.

Holy smokes this is a lot of cop cars at National airport. No idea what's going on.
Time for my monthly-ish reminder that "Hey! I wrote a couple novels!" I've seen everyone's book threads on here and I'm telling you, you should read my stuff. Here's a reassuring review from a stranger:
" I wasn’t prepared for this series to be as good as it is, considering it’s a random indie pub."
Congrats. You are now receiving my recently-cancelled WaPo money.
Are you sure it's over the Braddock Road coverage, and not the highly inflammatory and controversial op-eds where you say "Hey guys, maybe we should be kinda nice to each other sometimes?"
Email screenshot: Psst... The Did Not Finish (DNF) shelf is coming soon. You're hearing about it first because you already track books you started and set aside. Things to Know If you created an exclusive custom shelf named exactly "did not finish," "dnf," "abandoned," "unfinished," "didn-t-finish," or "dropped", we'll automatically convert it to the new default Did Not Finish shelf. Your reviews, ratings, and reading history stay with your book. If you created a tag or non-exclusive custom shelf, it will remain unchanged with one exception. Those currently named exactly "did-not-finish" will be automatically renamed to "did-not-finish-2" to avoid duplication. If you prefer to keep your current setup, rename your shelf or tag to anything else before Feb. 28. What to Expect As we prepare for launch, your existing shelf or tag may show a different name or appear non-editable. This is expected as we work behind the scenes to ensure your books, ratings, and reviews transfer smoothly. Don't worry! You can still add and remove books from your shelf as usual during this time.
Exactly! I want credit for having started the book, but feel like a sham if I file it until "Read." Here's some more detail straight from Goodreads:
This is gorgeous!
FELLOW NERDS: How excited are we all about the upcoming Did Not Finish shelf on Goodreads?!?! I cannot wait!
LOL what? This is the dumbest timeline.
Thank you!
I realize most of you are likely too zonked to reply yet.
ALX Skeeters: I went to bed at 8:30pm (jetlag) and have awoken to a billion skeets about the Braddock Rd meeting. I can't read all of them. Can someone please give a (neutral, good-faith) explanation of why the amendment was proposed? I'm guessing parking for Good Lutheran?
I just told Mike about this discussion and says "oh come on, it's fine."
No. Please do not send people to pee in my yard. And tell the people peeing in you yard to face away from my house!
I can't believe I used to think WE were the weird neighbors. 🙄
Really looking forward to returning home to random urinators at my back window. 🫣😳😧
