    It must be, because $45 of mine is in restaurant gift cards. One was an unused $25, and the rest were various amounts remaining on the cards after using them...$1.60 here, $2.20 there, $5 there, and so on. I'd imagine just the partials would add up to quite a sum.

    Homer's worst accounting nightmare: they aaaaaaaaaalllll come in at once! :D

    I built a set of trays on sliders for my ailing mother because she struggles to get things at the back of shelves in cupboards. I haven't done carpentry in many decades so was dreading what the result would look like and how it would work. I'm very pleased I remembered some of the skills drilled into me at school all those years ago.

    I think that third one belongs to @Wreybies, but I'll pass it along to him. Thanks for these, I'll five-star them on Amazon for you:

    I just wanna say that I love living in a country where I can walk into a store and purchase marijuana and marijuana infused things as if I buying socks. God bless the U S of A.

    Actually, I have to cross the arduous border into Massachusetts, but we have a saying in RI that you're never very far from anyplace else. Of course, I'm sitting on the ceiling at the moment, so any directionality is a mere matter or perspective.

    Yah I can't do that here without a prescription...yet another reason to be homesick! I mean, I could get one, but do I want that in my medical records when employers have a right to look at them? Nope.

    When I'm at home in L.A. it's not an issue, but it's not the first time it's been suggested...the last time being by a neurologist who refused to treat me because I was uninsured at the time.

    ETA: Back OT lest this get political: It's sunny and warm outside today!

    I have beer and taquitos to stave off the stress after getting
    off work and dealing with all kinds of non-work related nonsense. :)

    When I read that, I pictured you tearing through the drawers and cupboards like a bear...which would be what I would do, if somehow chocolate was omitted from the grocery list.

    Right now I'm eating chocolate ice cream with crushed chocolate covered almonds mixed in and sprinkled with coffee grounds. I only regret that I'm out of pecans. That'd push it over the top.

    ETA: Speaking of...Did @Homer Potvin ever come down from the ceiling? I'm picturing him clinging to the ceiling like a spider with a horrible attack of the munchies.

    Read my story out loud for the first time today. :p . at least the whole story I mean. I have read out loud bits and pieces.

    since I was on my tablet, there was no editing, just a pure reading. Clearly I found plenty of mistakes to fix and awkward wording. Also did a bit of autocorrecting as it were as I read.:p . So torrow. I am going to read again the who book, recording myself so I can hear it back. making notes of the mistakes

    I am happy to find that aside from a normal fatigue that comes from sitting for hours reading, I did not get bored, wanted to continue to read and enjoyed my book, despite going over it like three times now. :p . Fourth coming up. :p
