I didn't go outside during the eclipse because I couldn't be sure my 2yo grandson (he's with me during the workday) would keep the glasses on. Instead, we watched the event on tv, and during totality he noticed that it got darker outside my house - and asked "grandma, raining?" (it was about 95% where we live). I guess he associated daytime darkness with rain! My smart boy. As for the earthquake, I didn't feel a thing - but my husband ran down to the basement to check the washing machine. He thought it was so off-kilter that it made the whole house shake. Crazy that I was so oblivious that I noticed nothing. And, my youngest daughter had a baby over the weekend - and I got to attend the birth! So intense and emotional. A healthy beautiful baby girl. An earthquake, a baby, and an eclipse all in the space of a few days. I am so very lucky. A week to remember, for sure.

What?? Don't you mean ANGEL POCKETS?????

Considering that Jill came from a "buy used and save the difference" family, I can't imagine that this one is top-of-the-line.

Or, maybe, he's learning that his sisters-in-law actually AREN'T sluttish.

Or maybe hospice wouldn't allow filming?

Well, I cooooould.... but would you hear me? (Sorry! Sorry! I couldn't help it!)

I interpret this as "Amy contacts 100 publishers and 2 responded" (likely with "please go away"). Or, she's investigating self-publishing and deciding which kind will gain her the most attention while losing the least amount of money.

Hmmm that description doesn't narrow things down very much

Hmmm I dunno. I guess it... Depends....

There are 40 holds on this book in my local library system (over a dozen libraries), and they don't even have the book yet. So I think I will buy my own copy. However.... I cannot keep it, as we are moving and my husband & I mutually agreed on NO MORE BOOKS!! (lol, I donated over 1000 already). Would any of my fellow snarkers like to have my copy after I'm done? I'd happily mail it to you (or deliver it in person if you're not too far). Message me!

I use the same starter word every day, and it hasn't yet been a winner - so I can't switch to a different one because one of these days it'll be a winner and I don't want to miss it! I'm so ridiculously obsessed with maintaining my streak (over a year) that on my mountain hiking days I Wordle on the summit (yesssss, I just verbed a noun...)! Normally I do my puzzles in the morning with my coffee (ah, retirement), but on hiking days I leave the house super early and don't have time. So it's my summit treat. My friends think I'm insane.
