Ha, thanks! My hands were really cold & my fingers shrank a lot. The aircraft hit a patch of turbulence & I bumped the ring right off my finger. It flew into the toilet, landed on the metal flap, teetered a bit & then slid in. After we landed a very kind mechanic wearing the world’s longest rubber glove (it went up…

To me, it looks like she’s got a big ol’ almond sitting on her finger.  Or half of a very large pistachio shell.  Megan’s comment that it looks like a cockroach carapace is also on point.  But my mind keeps going back to the almond. Haha.

I once lost my engagement ring down an airplane toilet in flight. I got it back, but the whole thing was very traumatic. It’s not uncommon now for me to leave my ring behind at home if I feel I am going to be in a situation where it will be at risk of coming off my hand.  It’s rather large and heavy & my fingers are…

THAT is badass!  It’s gorgeous.  <3

Seconding HEB Creamy Creations!  I do not know anything about this Blue Bell poisoning thing.  I don’t buy it often, but I’m running off to Google now...

Graeters is pretty good, but as a former Dayton area Ohioan, my heart truly belongs to Jeni’s. All the love for Jeni’s. Graeter’s does have a few flavors I preferred from them though.

Ohhh, thanks for the recommendation!  I haven’t heard of that show, but I will definitely be looking it up.

Fantastic!  I wish this was a full season though.  

Did you happen to go to Purdue?

Same same same re: who did the work of raising you.

Yes! I am an adoptee who also has no desire to meet their birth family. I have used the “can of worms” analogy many times myself. I hold no grudges or ill will towards my birth family. I had a great childhood with a loving family.

Nooo! Why you do this? Side note- He has THE most punchable face on the planet, in my opinion. Mitch McConnell comes in a close second.  

Thank you for this! Now I know what I am doing with the kumquats from my tree. I have a baby tree with a healthy amount for a first crop, but harvests won’t be big enough to make kumquat marmalade for several more years.

Hahaha! I went to Purdue and we had those trees on campus also. We called them shitberry trees. LOL!

There is a natural gum rubber menstrual cup called the Keeper. It’s been discontinued, but it’s still available on Amazon. It wouldn’t be a good choice if you have latex allergies, but might be an option if you don’t.

I totally bought your book. It’s been a while since I’ve read a good romance novel & yours has such a unique premise. It’s not quite like anything else I’ve come across. I wish you much success in your writing career.

Well done. *golf clap*

Yasssss!

I have a half looney conspiracy theorist acquaintance with a liberal bent who is also religious, and he’s been ranting for months on Facebook about how he’s pretty sure Cheetolini is the antiChrist. I’m not so sure he’s wrong, and I’m not even a terribly religious individual. (joking)

I wish this wasn’t so heartbreakingly funny. And that I didn’t choke up a little at the tail end of my laugh.
