Thinking back on that time it is gobsmacking how everyone went along with using that word as a go-to insult.

It's very good here in Wisconsin also.

Extremely true, yes.

I find that taking them through methods a bit different from officially prescribed helps with emotional fragility, for whatever it's worth. I don't know how common that is.

How do you feel about progesterone?

*hugs*

Oh, I think I told you I was going to buy that, but I lied. Apparently I bought it last year!

(Along with some sort of death clock?)

Your bookstore is very good, and people should say it, yes!
