Tali

A girl likes to maintain a bit of mystery...oh crap, now you know I'm a girl. I use she/her pronouns. Guess I'm not all that mysterious after all.

@MrsRieB We sang that in the states, too. At least in West Texas.

Writers: How would I what

@sarah_asabit I've been getting them since 35. It's mostly pressure and uncomfortable. The higher res ones are slightly more painful (I have a dense tissue spot), but they let you say when to stop (stilll pressure/uncomfortable more than pain). You got this.

@rainbowrowell My parents went Biblical with their kids, other than my older sister (Carylyn, shortened from Carylynne) but I got saddled with Talitha. Still Biblical, but always got that roll call pause. Never met another one, but I've heard of a few.

@TheBloggess Our immediate family celebrates Christmas Adam (23) and opens presents then, with my family on the 24, then with my husband's on the 25. It's...a lot.

@RottenInDenmark I threw out my back changing the sheets. Twice. It's great, love it.

@yrfatfriend This is Jack. He's a tuxedo cat who has...taken off half his tux. He's currently in another part of the house yowling at the world to feed him so he can bulk up some more. We appreciate larger bodies here.

@OliviaWrites Oh my gosh I'd love one! I've got the others and I'm so excited for the third! It's been on my TBR list since the Nowhere Bookshop Happy Endings book club when you said it was coming. I wrote it down and kept checking GR for it. 😂

@OliviaWrites My first draft of my self published book it was "pulled." It was ridiculous. 🤦‍♀️ It's still in there a lot, because it is a useful word. I don't make the rules.

@CanLitRomance Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon! So good. Loved the single dad in that one.

@amullinstx That was a couple houses on fire, not grass. Get your shit together.

@TheBloggess When we moved into our last house, the hot water heater was older than we were. It had been installed in 1981. We replaced it in 2012. We have pretty hard water in Abilene, and every plumber was shocked...yay for how long it lasted? 😬

[Tali @talipatra]

@TheBloggess I mean, yeah, but...I only have one prescription, and it took a couple tries.

My husband wanted cornbread dressing this year, but I don't make it. Maybe this will work? You know, later...

@amullinstx @leslieleeiii Thus he's reaching for things. So...it fits.

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.
