Every time I head to the second-hand store I pick up a couple new CDs and DVDs. It's great! I'm paying max $3.99 apiece and I'll own them forever.

I get a lot of use out of glass screen protectors. I'm quite clumsy and they've saved my screen many times! I've used a couple of different brands and they sometimes take more than one try for me to line up correctly, but $10 and a few minutes of mild annoyance is a very small price to pay compared to replacing a whole phone screen.

It's opportunity costs all the way down, baby!

Heat to 69 in the winter, cool to 74-76 in the summer.

What did they censor? The b word?

Specifically, as Brunt, right?

Yes, because if you don't do it every time, eventually you'll forget when it really matters.

It also provides clarity to other drivers. People do dumb things in cars. If someone's in the turning lane ahead of me without their signal, there's part of me that's watching to see if they're confused and about to do something foolish. Signals = clear intentions = peace of mind.

I honestly can’t imagine a better Lizzy than Keira Knightley 🥲

Jennifer Ehle would like to have a word with you.

Honestly I find all of the covid years kind of hard to remember, and I know a lot of people who feel the same. I bet that Trump 1 mostly gets wrapped up and suppressed with all the rest of the general trauma.

I still just keep a paper log in my notebook. It's been working for me since 2013 so no reason to switch now!

Thanks! Slowly but surely :)

I found the website: https://ptlawnseed.com/products/fleur-de-lawn?variant=141703872

It looks like it's made in Oregon and inspired by the flowers of New England. That would probably mean most suitable for zones 5-8 or so.

Here is a Canadian mix that says it's suitable down to zone 3: https://ohcanadaseeds.ca/products/canadian-wildflower-seed-mix-19-annual-perennial-varieties-for-planting-in-canada

Same for this one: https://www.westcoastseeds.com/products/alternative-lawn-wildflower-mix

Zone 2 might be trickier to find.
