She is dead behind the eyes. It is chilling. There is nothing there.

I want to give you a star but I also don’t want to condone your use of a signature.

I am absolutely obsessed with Gentleman Jack. I have now researched a crap-ton about Ann Lister. She was definitely a genius who knew how to navigate an oppressive system (of course having a family name and money helps) in order to live her life as she pleased. It seems like the writers combined an early relationship…

These are some of the hardest working people in show business. I am with Kit here.

Bran also got to witness every family members traumas. He’s seen things.

Yep. Walruses. My friends and I, at a party (my party, because this is what we do, I put on nature docs in the background) were all like “wtf?” after stopping whatever we were doing. I am still not sure if it was suicide but it looked like they were crowded on the cliff and falling. It was pretty awful. Then a seal…

I occasionally host a small gathering of adults doing adult things and will put on nature docs as background on my giant projector wall. The visuals are perfect and you don’t need sound, and the episodes just keep on going... anyway it was around the time the walruses started committed suicide when we realized…

That isn’t the case though, and it hasn’t been for what, the past 15 years?

People on trains are FAR more relaxed than people on planes. It seemed like everyone I traveled with on the train genuinely liked trains. I always get talking to a family of Menonites too.

The roomettes are only good if you are by yourself. I didn’t talk to my friend for a week after our 6 days of being in a train together. However, the upgrade, I guess the “rooms” are much easier for 2 people.

I’ve done several of the long-distance routes, from Chicago to LA, and from Chicago to Seattle, and from Boston to Chicago. I love it. You gotta get the roomette though, and it is that price because you are paying for 2 seats. All meals are included, and they are actually meals, not snacks. Heck, one ride, I had wine…

Oh pretty much in the case of any dog behaving badly, it can be traced back to the owner. I guess it is just a strange coincidence.

It doesn’t sound like your parents dogs would bark for 20 minutes straight. Just the length of time for a person or dog to walk past. That sounds normal although maybe annoying, but it sounds like the normal doggy communication used to alert us of people and animals in the area. It is so different from the constant…

Makes me wonder if it is a german shepherd thing because the last building I lived in, a GS was always lunging at my old, quiet dog and I basically had to wait till they were not in the hallway to go walk my dog. Now in a new building, another neighbors GS is dog-aggressive to my playful, friendly pup. The neighbor…

Exactly. I have a vocal dog who will let me know briefly if a neighbor or dog walks by but it is never constant. When she was a puppy and had seperation anxiety, she barked a lot and caused my landlord to talk to me about it. We found a few solutions and now she is a happy, content adult dog who won’t even bark unless…

My dog has a loud, piercing bark that cuts through my soul...however, she lets that bark out only to inform me that a neighbors dog is in the hall or that a person is walking by our door, happens a couple times at night and it sucks. BUT it is always only a couple barks, not constant, and really for me because she…

I haven’t seen it yet but it is already my favorite show. It literally has everything that I love. YES!

I had pneumonia (and bronchitis!) all February as well. Last week was basically my first full week back to work after some too-ambitious touch-and-go moments. 3 doctors visits, 2 rounds of progressively stronger antibiotics, steroids, and in inhaler, I am finally *almost* back to normal. Aside from the muscle I pulled…

It looks like a prison, especially since the razor wire is on the US side. Are they trying to keep us in?

I make corsets. They are time-consuming and you need sturdy, nice fabrics. And back then, whale bones. Also back then, you needed servants to dress you. It wasn’t that wearing corsets that made one live long, it is that corset-wearers could afford servants, better food, and better housing and healthcare than women who…
