I have had some disappointments, yes.
HYE planned a vacation around getting laid?

Big ugh on the teeth. Sounds both nasty and expensive. Take care. At least you're getting some time with family in a fun place.
I keep going dark places in my stories which is a sure sign I am in one myself. Poor Brenda, my one protagonist, has been getting a rough ride as I keep finding ways to make her miserable. None of that will likely make it into the story in the end. I usually wise up and nerf it when this happens.
Excellent on getting the work approval, Kimmi. Not surprised you are having trouble sleeping. I think most of us would in your circumstances. At least you're trying to use the time ... productively? 😋
Having a really nice week here. Sunny, not too cool. This is a Fall I can handle. Alas, the time between getting home from work and sunset is shrinking rapidly so my walks might have to start being confined to weekends and work from home days.
And another day, another band saying farewell to their vocalist. Dutch band Delain started 20 years ago with a then-teenaged Charlotte Wessels as vocalist. Charlotte moved on to a solo career c. 2021 (and is absolutely killing it these days) and Diana Leah stepped in as a capable successor. Now Diana is on her way out. The band's plan for their next album is interesting: No lead vocalist, just a bunch of guest vocalists, many of them well-known metal singers who have guested with the band before.
First up, with Diana, from her debut (and only) album:
And then going further back, with (swoon) Charlotte:
My aunt who passed in 2025 made it to 85 with her brain still working (body not so much but she seemed to keep in decent spirits). I could handle that. Basically if my brain is still functioning, I could even handle 100 but if not, then the sooner I am gone the better.
Is romance a thing unto itself for you or just a prelude to sex?

I'd think you could ask them to waive the restocking charge, since the racks differ from the photos. That's a bit like false advertising on their part.
She had a better idea. The old one is just being hauled away for disposal by the installers so we'll move the bottom rack from that one to the new one, which resolves the biggest concern. Trust her to come up with a solution like that.
Nice weather here but I am a bit meh. Right leg cramped in the middle of the night and I think that kind of messed me up for the rest of the night.

LW is now 5'10" at 13 years old.
Mine ended up at 6'4" by the time he finished high school. Tallest in my family save, I think, one cousin.
