Well, okay. But I’ll just second guess myself the entire time. Course, I also do that with everything else I do, so… yeah. Fine.

Peter David was that comic book author who led me to reading novels and thus impacted me in many ways. News of his passing after a long health struggle is hard to hear. He created worlds and realities that live within readers and will for a long, long time.

This book is why I’ll read any work Iglesias unleashes. In 240 characters, I’ll say this is Crime & Punishment, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, & Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man fused-the Bruja’s backstory is a tragedy that I can’t shake. I am better for this real tragic horror.

My wife legally married me 20 years ago. Our wedding had a series of unfortunate events happen before and at it. I had a long winding post on that other site (FB) about it. Life is weird- and weird is a lot better with the right person.

It is a bit of a bait and switch move…. Offer “digital coupons” then have them disappear or have an error when you sign in. The deal also did not appear in the app, but did when one scanned the shelf but disappeared again when one signed in. Pretty disappointing Kroger

Daughter wanted McDonald's this morning. Ordered her a drink & biscuit. They parked me after I paid, then forgot me. After 30+ minutes I went in (I waited because I am a trusting idiot) and reminded them. There’s half an hour of life gone. Also, do they not give receipts anymore?

I need to become exceedingly wealthy just so I can have an office with these as the doors so I can have a proper entrance. (Thankful that I got to see the original at the Musée d'Orsay while in Paris).

Brilliant! Many colleges were founded to address issues larger institutions didn’t. For example, Berea & Butler were founded by abolitionists aiming to educate all people when most schools refused. Why could there not be schools pledging to keep local ancient knowledge safe?

My bad luck continues - I think there is something wrong with my Ghost Rider Epic Collection I picked up a few weeks back from the local comic store and settled down to read today or maybe I was told how to count incorrectly. Does it go from 80 to 120 normally, Marvel Entertainment ?

I’ll never own another Kia America for reasons including one shown in the pics, but I am glad the one I did own could be donated to the American Cancer Society society. Avoid buying a Kia, but do help the ACS when possible. Learn more on how to donate your car here: cancer.org/donate/cars-fo… #kia

When I teach abroad, I have this problem. Visiting a used book stall, a book dealer said, “Just leave your clothes and such things behind! You have worn those before so you know who you are in them, but these books are new to you! You must discover who you will be at their end.”

It dropped today- the book is out. I have a chapter about veteran support history and how aspects of the GI Bill had precursor in state support programs for veterans. Hope folks read the book and let me know what they think! #history #education #veterans amazon.com/Supporting-Mil…

Ordered a DVD from Amazon since physical media is locally rare. They sent an envelope instead of box so the disc came loose-was scratched unplayable. To return it I have to waste gas or pay $7.99 for return from home. Amazon make money off me buying gas for errors I didn’t make?
