We do not care that we asked our father to drive us/stay for a biopsy procedure for emotional support. Sometimes we just need someone to be there.
Which brings us to, we do not care that it's been almost a month of no contact from the man we thought was The One & then out of the blue said man asks our mutual friend how we're doing. We do not care that he asked bc we've been trying to get over said man.
We do not care.
...do we? 💔 #WDNCW @dabbe

AmyG I‘m sorry. No we do not care. Apparently you dodged one…with this guy. Hope the biopsy is negative. (edited) 1w
Texreader Oh this is so hard in so many ways. Many many hugs to you 🤗 1w

dabbe #oytotheultimatevey Thank you for sharing your heart; you're in a safe place with the #WDNCW group. Like @AmyG said, good dodge with the guy who couldn't/wouldn't be there. He's not worthy enough to lick your shoe. I hope your biopsy is negative and that your life moves forward in lovely ways. 🧡💜🩶 1w

lil1inblue I agree with everyone here - sounds like you dogded a bad one! Glad you were able to have your father for emotional support! Wishing you all the best. 💓 1w
Bookperson96 Could not agree more. Time with loved one‘s is important. 💗 Hope you are getting good news. Take care (also regarding heart-wise… 😉). 6d

dabbe @Cuilin @TheBookHippie @tpixie Why is it I'm thinking of someone else who THINKS he's a Titan and is also fatal to civilization? 🤔😡👊🏻

If I got through the war scenes in WAR AND PEACE, I can get through this, right?
Thanks for the link!

#hashtagbrigade @BarkingMadRead

After 580 pages of my edition, I'm stunned that this only qualifies as a “bitsy“ chunkster. I feel like I just reached the summit of Everest and can now gladly glide down the other side. 😂

ferskner Ouch!!! 7mo
BarkingMadRead It‘s one of those baby chunks that sneak up on you and clobber you over the head 🤣 7mo
Amiable Some colossal chunksters glide by so smoothly we hardly know we‘ve moved, and certain bitsy ones make us work like Sisyphus. 😄 7mo

dabbe @ferskner It was painful in quite a few places. 😂 7mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it's heavy enough to do some damage! 😂 7mo
dabbe @Amiable Exactly. I feel like I rolled a boulder up Mt. Everest. On a good note, I feel like I achieved quite a bit since I bailed on last month's #hashtagbrigade book. I was determined to finish this one! 💪🏻 7mo
BarkingMadRead No shade for bailing last time, almost everyone did 🤣🤣🤣 7mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it was my 2nd time trying it. #oytotheultimatevey 🤩 7mo
julieclair Congrats for finishing! 🏆 I‘m still climbing uphill. But like you, I‘m determined to finish. 💪 7mo

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @Dabbe

My score was sad. I have read only 16/100. My favorites are:

1. All the Light We Can Not see
2. Dracula
3. All the Pretty Horses

dabbe Not sad at all. More will be coming, and you're in fabulous company! I actually taught high school English and only scored a 20! Talke about sad! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 8mo
TheSpineView @dabbe 🤩🌞😍 8mo
dabbe @TheSpineView And what does one think about an English teacher who can't even spell “talk“ correctly? #oytotheultimatevey 😂 8mo
TheSpineView @dabbe It's all good...😆 8mo

Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 11mo
dabbe Have you ever read Dorothy Parker's “Penelope“? If not, here it is:
“In the pathway of the sun,
In the footsteps of the breeze,
Where the world and sky are one,
He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.
I shall sit at home, and rock;
Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;
Brew my tea, and snip my thread;
Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.“

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 11mo

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 13mo
willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 13mo

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊
