Corn starch
User name checks out. I did have a good meal.
MS Word be like . . .
So hey there; is that an onion in your pants, or are you happy to see me?
Probably companies that supply live food for reptiles. Possibly bait shops.
There is. I can never remember what it is, and I keep hoping someone will comment with it.
I don't think he's talking about people who want better quality Marvel movies; I think he's talking about people who think Marvel movies can't be good by definition, by virtue of what they are. It's totally fine to not like them, if that's not your thing, but some people are just snobs who want to sneer at what they see as beneath them.
Probably doesn't answer your question completely, but I'm a big fan of the phrase "my understanding is . . . " In other words, this is what I "know" as fact, but I'm aware that my knowledge could be wrong or insufficient and I'm willing to be corrected or updated. I use this phrase almost any time I'm asserting something as fact, as a kind of cya.
The sequel was published this year and it was . . . disappointing. You won't be disappointed with Thursday Next.
Early Riser by Jasper Fforde. I loved his Thursday Next series, the Nursery Crimes books were good, and Shades of Grey was fantastic. I'm having trouble getting into this one, but it might be worth it if I can stick it out.
Idk why the following description is written in second person, when the book is in first person. If you're a fan of Douglas Adams, I recommend Jasper Fforde.
Every Winter, the human population hibernates.
During those bitterly cold four months, the nation is a snow-draped landscape of desolate loneliness, and devoid of human activity.
Well, not quite.
Your name is Charlie Worthing and it's your first season with the Winter Consuls, the committed but mildly unhinged group of misfits who are responsible for ensuring the hibernatory safe passage of the sleeping masses.
You are investigating an outbreak of viral dreams which you dismiss as nonsense; nothing more than a quirky artefact borne of the sleeping mind.
When the dreams start to kill people, it's unsettling.
When you get the dreams too, it's weird.
When they start to come true, you begin to doubt your sanity.
But teasing truth from Winter is never easy: You have to avoid the Villains and their penchant for murder, kidnapping and stamp collecting, ensure you aren't eaten by Nightwalkers whose thirst for human flesh can only be satisfied by comfort food, and sidestep the increasingly less-than-mythical WinterVolk.
But so long as you remember to wrap up warmly, you'll be fine.
I've always heard the opposite, but this makes sense. It also means walking my dog - with all his sniffing and peeing - is better exercise than I thought.
