Folks prioritize social status over living within their means. So glad I found the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) community and learned how to sock it away so I can do what I do now… sit on my butt and enjoy reading. Wish there were more of us. Can be kinda lonely.

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

Look at this stunning spread! The second pic reminded me of when my dad was still alive. No matter how beautiful the table, nor how amazing the homemade repast was, he always demanded that canned cranberry gel. We were all able to laugh about it thank gawd. Good memories. 💕
Thanksgiving was a hit with the in-laws! Everything hit, everyone went for 2nds, and they especially loved my experiments. Very thrilled with how everything came out. Definitely found some of my lifetime recipes. A complete success.

Hello #BookSky and #author friends. As host of a book livestream, I’ve been making book trailers for three years. Recently, friends have said getting a trailer done costs $$$$. It shouldn’t. If you need a trailer, let me know. I don’t use AI, I license everything. Some examples follow:

This is such a great source of information on how to fight for your rights (and for your life in many cases) with your health insurance company. Throw them a few bucks if you can.
Right now it’s NewsMatch, which means anything you donate to our show ‘till the end of the month gets TRIPLED. And we’ve been SO moved by folks who have already chipped in. Here are some of their notes.

My mother once mistook cayenne pepper for nutmeg and the sweet potato pie that year had quite the kick. A real afterburner. 😜
Ironically 10yrs later we see a posh Santa Fe NM restaurant serving almost the exact same thing, so mom was just ahead of her time.

Why was President Trump so effusive in his praise for Zohran Mamdani in the oval office last week? Dave Jorgenson has a theory.

I took an Intro to Computers class in high school and they showed a Grace Hopper film. I was so stunned that a woman could 1. Be a Navy admiral & 2. Be a programmer, that I decided I too would be a programmer. Left her flowers 15yrs later to thank her. Representation matters!

Young love that lead to a life’s passion and wildly successful career. What a great origin story!
Had a huge crush on Drew Barrymore as a child (we're the same age). My parents wouldn't take me to her new movie FIRESTARTER. So my aunt bought me the book thinking I'd just look at the cover. Instead I read it cover to cover 3 times. On the 3rd read I realized I wanted to write horror for a living.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?
