High King Margot is a great answer

For me, I thought of Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman and then Captain Rachel Garrett, commander of the USS Enterprise, 1701-C

I read the books and lined them up The show deviates from the books and should be considered “inspired by” That said, the show is made by people who also truly loved the books and characters, and they did a great job making an adaptation

Years back I saw Dessa open for another show. Fell in love with Skeleton Key

Started watching TOS in reruns in the late 70s and 80s.
I was a very lonely teenager in a blue collar, uneducated family when TNG premiered. I watched every episode of the first season alone in the dark on an old B&W tv as they were watching other stuff on the good TV.

TNG opened my eyes to a world of possibility, the diversity and wonder of life, leadership, and aspiring to something bigger than my small world.

There was plenty of criticism about the Wesley Crusher character in those early years, but as smart nerdy boy, I was grateful to see his character and how he was treated by the Geordi, Data and others. Gave me hope

Decades later, introducing my kids to TNG has been one of my greatest pleasures in life. They know and love the characters as I do.

Happy to share. Between the pillow and the mouth guard, my head, neck and jaw all stay well aligned while sleeping, and I wake with far less tightness or soreness

Mouth guard- far cheaper than at a dentist and pretty easy to do. Wish I’d done it sooner https://a.co/d/dU2IHF9

Have you tried the new class of drugs? I’m on Qlipta and it’s been life changing for me

As background, I’ve suffered migraines since 2012, typically one per week in average but as many as 15 in one month. Mine almost always start between midnight and 5am, so I’d typically wake with one.

I’d tried all the typical drugs with mixed results.

The keys that worked for me, each reducing my migraine counts by anywhere from 5-50%

  • starting magnesium supplements
  • using a mouth guard at night
  • a cervical pillow

But taking Qlipta has been a game changer. I’ve currently gone 30 days without a migraine — my first time doing that in over 12 years

I’m sure all the extremist conservatives and libertarians living in that area will be happy to get by on their own without any government support

Bootstraps!!
