This was filmed in my hometown (where Vampire Diaries, Sweet Magnolias, and the English Teacher are filmed, too) and your assessment is 100% correct.

Oh yes! I say this and grew up hearing it lol. (I'm in my late 40s and grew up in the South although my family is from the Midwest.)

I'm a therapist and I always love to see pictures or videos of my clients' lives (pets, projects, partners, purchases, whatever) so make sure you have some to share!

Of course not!

Maybe reminding him that his participation helps the library would help him to see value in it? (Having fun and maybe making an accidental friend are just secondary benefits.)

That was my favorite book in the series. I love all versions of Eric but amnesiac Eric is top tier!

Thank you for sharing this - I've had a stressful day and the uncontrollable laughter from reading this was really needed!

It's so good - my husband and I love it!

Anything chocolate but probably a yeast donut with chocolate frosting. I'm loving all of the donut discourse on my timeline today!

I'm next door in Georgia and really need the weather to make up it's mind. This weekend we also get a sprinkling of severe storms and tornados. Wheeeee!

I squeaked in joy when I read this! I love this series so much!

My kid is a big fan and we went to see it in the theater for his birthday. The squeals of joy from the preteen audience when MatPat and CoryxKenshin came on screen were hilarous and worth the cost of my ticket lol.

Fingers crossed that this is resolved very quickly and easily with something like the office just needing a copy of your insurance card since it is the beginning of the calendar year!

Congratulations on your new family member - she is precious!

A fast food worker once combined and/or misheard my first and last name as "Jucifer" and my kids have used that as my alter ego ever since.

I'm in, too! Warnock's DC voicemail was full today but I was able to leave one at his GA office.

Yes! Or forcing me to download their app!

I live a little south and east of Atlanta and the weather reports have been wild! "It's going to be cold and someone will get snow but we don't know exactly where or how much. May the odds be ever in your favor."

Learning about moose by proxy from your posts has been so fun and has maybe unlocked a tiny new fear for me lol.

Ohhhh I didn't know that she owned Passionflix.

She got me, too! Lol

I feel the same way! I can't watch even short clips because I am,so uncomfortable!

So hey, letโ€™s start off 2025 maybe making somebodyโ€™s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thingโ€”object, lifehack, whateverโ€”that solved a small annoyance for you?

For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?

Yay!! I'm sure that news is such a relief to you!

Oh! Maybe try Pole Position by Rebecca Caffery. I loved it! It is about 2 drivers falling in love and did a great job of balancing all of the things you talked about. It actually reminded me a bit of a hockey romance in that way (another sport I know little about but enjoy in romancelandia.)

I live in the town where this show was filmed and they just had a huge convention here for all of the fans. We even have a real Mystic Grill restaurant that is super fun and worth checking out!
