I've never had the opportunity to read Practical Magic and it's not "free to read". I was confused by this response. Did you mean to say that you don't have access to a public library? 2 hours ago, Silent Mistwalker said: Seriously? Do you really think I am stupid? JFC. That is a major peeve with me. GTFO with that BS. Yeah, I should log in so I can have more of this kind of bs in my chat boxes. 🙄 I'm sorry, Silent. I did not intend to be demeaning or sarcastic. I thought I was poking fun at people who don't read books because everything is digital now. I did not mean to imply that you were stupid or anything like that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Makes me glad I didn't respond so you had the chance to read the rest. I'd love to hit the library again even if our local caters mainly to children. Problem is the lack of transportation and the cost of riding the bus is absurd. No less than $5US, one way. Calling a cab or Uber or whatever is out of the question. Edit: I'm not even sure the bus goes that far as the route ends in my town. The Kindle I use was a gift but it's in his name as is the Amazon account. People must think I'm joking when I say I can't afford something and really have no clue what it's like to be poor, living on someone else's paycheck to paycheck because your health took a nosedive and you've only recently gotten treatment and begun recovery.

My local library will only let you do step 1 of the process online and you go to the library and complete step 2. You have to complete the second part before you are considered to "have a library card". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Luv Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Peeve: having to keep secrets involving mutual friends So now I obviously won't spread what Person A told me, but what it means, really, is I have to lie to Person B and pretend I haven't heard anything and don't know what's going on (and then worry that my eyes or body language might give me away )...and of course if it all comes out, Person B will be angry and ask why I didn't tell them... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another famous movie featuring Chianti is Silence of the Lamb, where Dr. Lecture promises to pair it up with some liver and fava beans. This pairing will work nicely, but an even better pairing is Amarone, which was what was originally featured in the best-selling novel. Movie producers changed the pairing from Amarone to Chianti as they felt audiences would not know what Amarone was. Store that factoid away for trivia night! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
