The Count of Monte Cristo was a slog. Phenomenal book, I'm so glad I read it, and will never read it again. I'm a native English speaker with a fairly robust vocabulary and it was still painful for me at times, since I needed to look up words so often. Don't feel bad for needing a translation!

I'm pretty sure that's the joke he was making

I watched a video where someone tried out boob shaped armour- the problem wasn't the deflecting IIRC, it was that the armour itself came to something like a point against the chest so any impact HURT.

My husband is Greek on his mom's side and Italian on his dad's. He can't stand olives. Don't worry- you're not alone.

Tell me you don't like olives without telling me you don't look olives.

This reminds me of pizzas I've had from hole in the wall mom and pop pizza shops. I would crush this pizza.

I'm glad you got to a point where you stopped (and good for you for looking after yourself and straightening your teeth). It's wild that the habit pathways we build in our brain are so ingrained that even after such an unpleasant consequence we keep going, even without a chemical dependency.

Do you still bite your nails after that? Not judging, genuinely curious.

They mentioned in the article that it was inspected June 10th.

From urban dictionary:

blood boy

A young man who is a healthy specimen (no drinking, smoking, drugs, possibly vegan) and is hired by an tech billionaire to be a source of youthful, healthy blood for him, via regular transfusions.

I had to look it up, but it's wonderfully accurate. Thank you for teaching me a new term.

Chevrolet Caprice? The impala also had a bench seat option in the front to the 90s I think

 

I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

More Socks (sh.itjust.works)
 

Apologies for the crinkly right off the needles mess. These are a gift and don't fit me, and I don't own sock blockers (yet).

Vanilla Socks but I made the cuff go straight into the heel because the recipient likes ankle socks.

Ghostie Bag (sh.itjust.works)
 

Second ever bag, first time following a graph. Tons of fun. Now I have a bag to use for the next month and a half!

I really like the way the green turned out. I used scrap yarn so the white was actually a 3 instead of everything else which was a 4, and only have a 3.50 hook. Overall, still in love.

Pattern here: https://divinedebris.com/glenda-ghost-bag-free-crochet-pattern-by-divine-debris/

 

I made this as a gift, but long story short I don't have the right yarn colours or the right sized hook or the right eyes. So I improvised. Hoping it still reads as the animal I intended!

Ps. The recipient knows my current status and why I can't procure the correct yarn, etc. They'll still appreciate it I'm sure.

 

The hobby is tiny octopus friends. Pattern by Mohu.

Dollar store yarn (labeled mini skein with no actual weight), 3.0mm hook. 6mm eyes.
