I celebrated prime day by ordering 5 books from Bookshop.org. Then, oops, remembered some other books I wanted and placed a second order. Still one day left for free shipping, so might order more tomorrow. Yay!

I used to write for the confessions, as did many of my friends. In addition to stories, each magazine had different types of essays, columns, and household hints. One by one, they ceased publication, but until then, they were great paying markets, especially for beginners.

Yes we did. Still do.

Sounds similar to Napoleon bonbons. Yum.

Depends on where you live, I guess. I've found excellent books. 3 examples: The Wager, A People's History of The United States, and a biography of Peggy Guggenheim.

Just listened to my first episode. I really like the short format. Makes it easy to fit them into odd moments of down time. The scripts are streamlined, not bogged down in pointless speculation, but still include all the relevant facts. Good work.

Actually, Girl scouts was a help for me. Campfire stew, pocket stew, toad in the hole, walking salad.

Saw it twice. Loved it.

Who pays for shipping? Not me. I buy printer ink from Office Depot or Best Buy, diabetic supplies from Diabetic Warehouse, all with free shipping. 1 or 2 day delivery. Costco also delivers free. Not available in all locations. Keep track of needed supplies and plan ahead.

My latest haul from Bookshop.org during their free shipping days. A little true crime, current affairs, outdoor adventure. Already finished reading three of them.

Berrigan brothers.

Running to answer a ringing phone because there were no answering machines and of course, every call must be important.

Music stores had small private rooms where you could listen to a record before deciding whether to buy it or not.

29? Amateur.

Anything by Maeve Binchy.

Nectarines, apricots, plums. Paradise.

Loved his BIRD BOX.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Clancy Martin for writing this book.

Holding the House: Why Domesticity Matters More Than Ever in Contemporary Poetry - The Broken Spine There’s nothing wrong with the grand themes: the wars, betrayals, apocalypses that have fuelled poetry for centuries. We still need them. We still publish

A new piece from @alanparry83.bsky.social on domesticity in poetry.

Also, since "grandpa" is being used as a name, it should be capitalized.
