Yes, it was definitely the biblical skin care that caused the loss of friends.

Doggone it! I was coming for this and was so proud of myself.

I love that you think that’s what you are seeing. Adorable.

It’s been a revelation to me how much a little vinegar can add (let the reader understand)!

Then just build this directly into the criteria for determining which pleasures are higher and lower for your utilitarian calculation.

This is neat. Surprised to be this close to the genuinely cool folks in contemporary visual arts:

You could be done by half-time. Basically a novella.

Nearly certain I’ll be getting a few β€œI wouldn’t buy green bananas if I were you” comments from students and grandkids over the next couple of weeks.

Probably not the most inspiring pitch; but β€œLottocracy: What have we got to lose?” does have sone real bite.
