Joyous congratulations to DD for persevering in her career path and scoring her dream job. My husband used to critique books and the occasional movie for Starlog. He would have jumped to high heaven if he had your opportunities, but that was not his path. Best of luck!!
I had a mushroom growing out of the ceiling during a particularly humid spell in South Carolina. It was about 12" high and the cap was about 2". It must have been a happenstance as a spore may have found the bathroom dry until the humidity went up
The water fountains they have for cats these days are really snazzy. The storage tank forms the base for the rectangular ‘bowl’, and it has a pump to recycle the water continually. Constant, fresh water for your beloved kitty. I had one for Truder and I upgraded it to a newer, larger model about 4 months before he passed. I don’t have a kitty now (sister-in-law allergic) but if you have the $$ it’s worth it.
For having a massive heart attack at his age he sure looks healthy and fit. Good for time shift, like 1 year later, but I don’t get the feeling there’s been a time shift. As for the beard, my husband was bearded at intervals, once past the stubble stage it doesn’t hurt. It can even feel nice.
Joyous congratulations to DD for getting her dream job. My spouse would have jumped to high heaven to have the opportunities DD had.
