The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life | Laurie Notaro

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

I have (sorta) two:
1. I never met him, but Charles Shulz called me when I wrote him, asking if he'd sell me one of his comics to give to my mom for her 50th birthday (she was a PEANUTS fanatic). He called me long distance on his dime and gave me one of his strips for FREE, even paying to ship it to me (see pic above). He said I wrote a heckofa letter. 🤩 #2 is ⬇️.

dabbe 2. I had AP English with the tagged author, Lauria Notaro (she's like a female Dave Barry). I should have known she's be a humorist because one day in class I dared to ask what a “nymph“omaniac was (we were studying nymphs in mythology). She piped up loudly for all to hear: “Denise, you of all people should know what that means.“ 😳 6d

vivastory That's amazing that Schulz did that. What an incredible person! 5d

Ready or Not | Cara Bastone

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.15-16: Ethan is entitled to his feelings - but the baser part of me is shouting he‘s a coward! I can‘t believe he hasn‘t checked in with her!? But Shep brought her groceries and these two need to get together so bad! Not just for Eve‘s state of mind - but for mine. Also - only having 12 weeks of maternity leave is so hard - I‘m sorry for any new mom that loses out of extra recovery time and time with their baby.

StayCurious @CatLass007 @OriginalCyn620 @peanutnine @Graciouswarriorprincess @Read4life @Kshakal @julieclair @julesG @Roary47 @LiseWorks @maich @CogsOfEncouragement 6d

LiseWorks It is about time that she decides to go to stores for stuff for the baby and to let people know she is expecting. It's like she finally realized this baby is real and is coming fast. Ethan got scared!. 5d

julesG To me(!) 12 weeks maternity leave sounds like too little and a lot. But that's just because when I had child #1 I was self-employed and hated the mandatory maternity leave (here in Germany: 6 weeks before the due date plus 8 weeks after the birth) - this meant not earning, but having expenses for 14 weeks at least. Anyway, I agree, Eve might want to tell people soon and get ready for the baby. As for Ethan, I can only offer 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 5d

Graciouswarriorprincess @StayCurious I was screaming at Ethan too. I am not sure if he is confused about what to do or a coward but probably both. Poor Eve trying to figure this out and 12 weeks is so little time. 5d

CogsOfEncouragement I‘m so happy Eve is making pregnant friends, especially Marla at work. We got the scoop on Heather and Shep. She was incredibly good to him when he still needed her. He seems like a guy who deserves that kind of treatment too, he would have done the same. 5d

OriginalCyn620 @Graciouswarriorprincess @CogsOfEncouragement I agree with you both! It‘s like Eve was waiting around for Ethan to offer up guidance and companionship through the wild journey that is pregnancy. I‘m glad she finally realized she doesn‘t need Ethan for that. 5d

julieclair I‘m so disappointed in Ethan. Ghosting her at this point is so wrong. 5d

StayCurious @julesG it‘s interesting how different things are depending on where you live and what your situation is. I was lucky enough in Canada to have 14 months off - with 6 months paid from my work (which I know is amazing). But the rest of the time with a chunk of my salary gone and having to afford formula and diapers and everything else - it was a lot. 4d

julesG If you're employed (not self-employed or a freelance) you get a year of maternity leave and you still get your salary every month (the company will be recompensed). I could enjoy this perk with child #2. 4d

Roary47 For all three of my pregnancies I had a leave bank I earned. I was able to be paid for about 4-5 weeks with the bank (varied with each) and then could still take more with FMLA, but because I didn‘t have hours in the bank I wouldn‘t be paid. I just took the minimum required amount of 6 weeks. Pregnancy feels slow, but it goes so fast for others. I want to think that Ethan is figuring out things or working extra hours to provide her funds. 4d

SarahDWriter Given that God is good, and the cosmos works mysteriously, to give blessings and light to all seekers of truth I will be vulnerable in this post today. Sometimes writing has real value and someone wants to read it, if it is heartfelt but also well-placed and interesting! So as a writer who has been on some sort of journey which at some magical moments was spiritual

Being Henry: The Fonz ... and Beyond | Henry Winkler

Bag #2 of Snow White and started Being Henry. It‘s kind of a clash following The Postcard. Henry‘s parents are German Jews who escaped Berlin before the war really kicked off, his father misled his mom that they were just going on a work trip ( worked in the lumber trade) and then stayed in New York. Their entire family left behind perished. He is almost disparaging about the faux family they create to replace the lost one.

TheBookHippie I love Snow White. Henry doing the Hava Nagilla gives me life. ♥️ 2w

mcctrish @TheBookHippie right now I‘m not sure how I am feeling about HW ( and a friend warned me) he dislikes his parents so much, his tone is very accusatory about so many things compared to how I feel he is so beloved by me and everyone I know. It‘s early days, not everyone likes their parents and having a learning disability ( dyslexia) back in the day was brutally misunderstood 2w

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I‘ve heard that too . I get the not liking your parents. It is hard for ppl who like theirs. My dear friend, decade older than me, with dyslexia had a horrific childhood. She‘s 67. I‘ve almost picked this book up a few times. I‘ll be anxious to see what you think in the end. 2w
