@emsenn@myasstodon.xyz I think the writing style works. I'm in a ... I'm not tracking very well right now, but understood fine.

Got a flier for a new Chinese Restaurant in town today. I was worried about what we'd do for Christmas since the only Chinese Restaurant in town closed down last winter.

It's a miracle!

@popstar@myasstodon.xyz Re: Courtney Milan, she is one of the few authors who has managed to write *healthy* Victorian romance, and included a (IMO) *realistic* level of diversity in Victorian England while doing so.

If you are looking for a last minute holiday gift or read, consider picking up one of books.

Looking for advice! Friend is getting a bit back pay from Social Security. Resources on financial management, how to find a good accountant, etc, so can get best use out of the money.

Boosts welcome.

So.... thiw was what I've taken to calling an aleph-bet shabbot, after one of my favorite Jewish folktales.

It seems to have been a really popular tale, as I've heard three different version of it. One set in 1700s Europe, and two in (I think?) Russia/USSR in different periods of the 20th century.

One version takes place on a farm, two in a synagogue. And it wouldn't surprise me if at least one is a true story that invoked one of the older ones.

G'morning all.

How's everyone doing today?

I found a great infographic on birdsite today about how stress levels affect folks

Here's the infographic: pbs.twimg.com/media/EKMrd5cUUA

Here's the thread about it:

I've been working towards something like this for months now, and it's great to find it fully laid out and clearly explained.

I am ecstatic to be back at level 1 (for now!) and able to be fully-functional-for-me

asking for money

Hey folks,

I said something a while back about saving for a care and needing help?

Yeah, well, the car our neighbor has been letting us borrow died yesterday.

I walked three miles to get medication and food today, would have been 4 miles except nice person gave me a ride home from the grocery store.

We've got ~$400 saved towards a car right now. We need at least $2000. Please help if you can.
