I was just about to comment, β€œhey, my husband had the same idea!” And then I saw who posted, and you are he.

But yeah, that’d be something for sure.

I’ve read some Christopher Moore, but it’s been awhile - might have to add to my own TBR. Haven’t heard about Wayside School, but I’ll check it out! TY!

My 13yo has morphed into quite the reader lately. Anyone have any recommendations for authors/series like Terry Pratchett/Discworld besides Douglas Adams? πŸ’™πŸ“š

Today I learned that from 1945-1972, some plumbing pipes were made from a tarpaper type material called orangeburg. At best, it’s supposed to last ~50 years. Sometime next week, I’ll get to learn how much it costs to replace it.

I was hoping that was the problem when I called. I couldn’t barely understand my congresswoman’s voicemail, and one of my senator’s VMs was full at his DC office. Had some stuttering at his local office as well

Called both senators and my congresswoman just now. Are their voicemail greetings always super garbled? Or are they screwy because of a massive influx of calls?

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Here’s a resource if you want to be heard but don’t know who to call or what to say:

That used to be one of my favorite breakfasts when I was little!

I started using AbeBooks for used books during the pandemic, which has been great. I do love the idea of buying ebooks from another distributor though.

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

This looks like a cool option for buying books online AND supporting independent booksellers. They even sell ebooks! The only downside is that you can’t read those ebooks on your Kindle - you have to read them on their app or in your browser. Still… options.
