Nope, you lose me on spiders. 😄 My dad like Daddy-long-legs but I never did. Though I don't usually kill them as I do other spiders.

I NEED HELP!!! 😂 Our library is finally doing interlibrary loans again, and now I've got 765 books on my to-read shelf to pick from! I just can't make up my mind!!! 😱🤣

What I always do in a situation like that, is I just slowly one by one, pick out the ones I want to read, and just keep on doing that. Sometimes it's by author, sometimes by genre.
Meg wrote: "Oh I just looked at your profile...guess I don't have that many! 🤣"😤🤣 There's just so many good-looking books out there!! 😂😂
Oh goodness!! I just looked and didn't realize I had that many either!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Emma wrote: "What I always do in a situation like that, is I just slowly one by one, pick out the ones I want to read, and just keep on doing that. Sometimes it's by author, sometimes by genre."But what do you do when there are probably at least a hundred that you want to read NOW?! 😂
Emma wrote: "Oh goodness!! I just looked and didn't realize I had that many either!!! 🤣🤣🤣"🤣 Yeah they build up fast!!

Like I said, you just slowly start taking some away, until you have a more reasonable number. 😂

Me either. 😒🤣
And I also have several books here at home that I'm very excited to read but figure I'd better take advantage of the library just in case they're forced to close again.
Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge.
Dorothy wrote: "Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge."Lol! I figured you would! 😂
Dorothy wrote: "Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge."You need to request The Rosemary Tree. I'm dying to get your perspective on it!!
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge."Lol! I figured you would! 😂"
Well, before I spend $30 on it, I want to be sure it's worthwhile! (I'm sure it is!)
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge."You need to request The Rosemary Tree. I'm dying to get your perspective on it!!"
Oh, thanks for reminding me! I'll do that tomorrow!

Good! 😄
Emma wrote: "🤣 Or $800..."Well, I definitely won't be getting that one!
Dorothy wrote: "Hey Emma, speaking of interlibrary loans, I requested Songs and Verses by Elizabeth Goudge."I have never read anything by Elizabeth Goudge. What sort of books does she write?

Amazing. Sweet. Funny. Amazing. Wonderful characters. Enchanting. Amazing.

I'm sorry! I should have known better! You are quite right, Meg, but they have already started this evening! I did give them a warning about behavior, but that seemed to make things worse! I have surrendered and I have decided to join them in misbehaving! You know....if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! 😉🤣😛🤪😀

You haven't?!?!??! And you loyal to the crown?! 🤣 Ditto to everything that Emma already said, and also warm, lovely, comforting...I call The Dean's Watch a Comfort Book.
Well, that's tried. I now know that onions in cheerios is different, but not bad!(I'm posting this because I figured Meg's going to tell on me anyway, so I might as well do it in a way that won't put too much of a blot on my character.)

You only live once. The thought came to me that I wondered what onions in cereal would taste like. I had to try it!

I used to hate onions, too! But then one day last year, I had a craving for them, and it doesn't go away!

Maybe that will happen to me... I doubt it, but... I know I will NEVER put them in cheerios!!!!!
Okay, so I just walked into this conversation and I'm not fully understanding it so correct me if I'm wrong but, did Dorry just say she put onions in her cereal?!?!?!?!
