The mom is Jamie Lee Curtis???
Seriously. It’s obvious now than I know, but I haven’t seen her or thought about her since A Fish Called Wanda and wow.
She looks older than she did 40 years ago. Surprisingly enough.

For me, Star Wars and Lord of the Ring (the books, as well.)
The best part? I publish SF and fantasy for a living.

Dunno how it works where you are, but I (author) get money from library books. Much less than when a reader buys it (duh), but it pays for nice Christmas presents.

That South Korean thing currently on Netflix, I guess. Young man tries everything to save the woman he pines for, who turned into a chicken nugget.

I think he went? He ordered them on the web from Berlin retailers, then booked a plane ticket. Our dad caught up with him at some point, but I can’t remember if it was here or there. We were just happy he didn’t try to ride his huge bike across Europe instead of flying. The state he was in, he wouldn’t have made it.

We live 3000 km from Berlin.

In France, Chilean-French isn’t a thing, unless you hold both passports. You’re “YourPassportian, but in France for 20 years”, or “YourPassportian, but moved countries a lot.” .

As the sister of a 45-year-old man who’s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (dunno the English term) 20 years ago: when you take the right meds, they’ll work. You’ll then think you’re good and don’t need them anymore, and stop taking them because the side effects are annoying. It’s a really bad idea. Last time he got 5,000€ in debt to buy Christmas trees to gift to random homeless people around Berlin.

I feel the time to come clean has come.
I never really paid attention to that meme, and… I think I always thought it was from The Princess Bride.

Glad that you asked! I weave rag rugs from dead clothing and sheets. It goes Sheet > Rag for spills > Cleaning rag > Teared into strips for weaving. When I have a full bag, I weave a new rug, having fun with the colors on hand. I get 60cm*1m absorbent rugs for the bathroom or the mudroom. Some are so cute my kid preempts them for her bedroom. They’re resistant, thick, easy to wash, easy to discard when they get ratty.

Never had your issue, but Dim is okay. Mid-range quality.

I’m speaking for all of us when I say: What?

So you could just buy… images?

Dear Bob. I’m so fucking sorry.

Why would vaccination end? Not from the US - what did I miss?

That’s because he’s bad at thinking.

It was common in France until my dad’s childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.

Fwiw, it’s répertoire.

France. I fear I’d be driven out of town.

Oh thanks. I’ve come across the name, never seen one. TIL.
