Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder is a novel by the English writer Evelyn Waugh, first published in 1945. I'll have to try it! I have so many unread books

Of course I looked it up! (But will I remember it tomorrow) #NPC stands for non-player character, a character in a game that's not controlled by the player or an AI. NPCs can be shopkeepers, villains,

"No one who would go to Anarchapulco is an NPC" - I have some catching up to do! What a dark post - the chopping block! As a farm kid who held the chicken legs while Mom chopped off the head,

Ohhhhhh that marvelous and massive maple tree, TOPPLED - what a job - and what a gift the trees leave us even after the felling! What a great tree! May you all live to see the next mighty maple (or oak?)

Beautiful! I love the black-and-white - so many many shades in between, it seems inaccurate to think of it as monochrome - "a single hue or color" - to me it is so rich and so varied. Great photos!

"Some people just aren’t worth the time or effort" - I hear that one a lot. It goes againt all that I learned and internalized from infancy. To love one another. Always. To forgive, unconditionall,

Awww, thank you!!!!

Maybe if I had ceased contact with toxic family members (e.g. my dad, "You idiot!"), my self-esteem might not have tanked, but the damage was done before age five. College was liberating and

Acquired on August 11, 2018 - definitely before the purge. We judge without thinking: that sounds about right!

"Just make a new sock" - oh, to be as clever and resourceful as Marianne and all of you here! Ever try the St. Anthony prayer "Tony, Tony, look around, @myjob's lost tool cannot be found"

I'm not finding anything as "Honey Due" in my Kindle, orders history at Amazon, anywhere....

Your book is under Honey Due? That's too easy! I'll have to revisit it. Amazon purged a thousand reviews, so if I didn't copy it over to Goodreads, I'll never see it again. (Did you save copies of reviews

You are very hardworking - I commend you! And fair. The customer who doesn't pay up cannot expect you to keep waiting and trusting him to come back with money. Of course you did the right thing - why else

Sam might dispute that, and Niko might have, but overall, YES, yes, I'm you're greatest fan - I'll accept that accolade, seeing as it's a sign of my excellent judgment and good taste. :)

Yes, yes, I've seen @boxcarblue and his magical SEVEN posts. I was too lazy to go look up his name. Thank you! :) You are not 'but an imitator' - you are the real deal! You are in his league!!!!

Oh, thank you for this!!! My DNA, and too many days of my childhood, reek of chronic complainers. Energy vampires. Never counting their blessings, never praising anyone for a job well done. Thankless,

I'm still reeling at the idea of you only age 25 yet you published a book of short stories (I have it in my Kindle still even though I no longer remember the author name!). Your friend has strong opinions
