Reading Stalking Darkness, by Lynn Flewelling. 2nd book of the Nightrunner series. Up next is the rest of the series! :P This is my 2nd read through. After that, I’m planning to re-reading a few Mercedes Lackey books before finally reading the newest one. Might just hop into the newest one if I get impatient though.
I mostly just upvote, usually posts I find really entertaining, helpful, or that I agree with strongly. If I downvote, it’s because I found a post needlessly aggressive, rude, like it didn’t contribute to the conversation, like the poster was trying to start drama, or spreading misinformation, stuff like that.
English muffin, extra toasted, with jalapeño cream cheese and Cholula. 😍 I had it for breakfast for about a year straight while I was working from home, still love it. The cream cheese has to be Philadelphia, I tried the store brands from my local grocery stores, and it’s just not the same. If Philadelphia isn’t available, plain cream cheese is fine. On the weekend, I’ll add a sunny-side-up egg and bacon or ham! Yummmm
I’m wearing mine right now! :P
I am using Connect for Lemmy, so far, I like it, but it’s the first app I’ve tried, haha. I used RIF for at least 10 years. Geez, didn’t realize it had been that long…
Edit: ok, I’m using Liftoff now, I love it so far!
Thrift stores, basically. I worked in various thrift stores for 5 years and mostly furnished my home that way. Just be thorough when you’re inspecting it before you buy it! Check for bugs, broken/missing pieces, wiggly legs, cosmetic damage. We’ve gotten some really cool stuff in great condition for actually reasonable prices. My favorite is an ancient La-Z-Boy for $12, in decent shape.
If there’s a Re-Store near you, they’re great too! We got an adorable coffee hutch for $65, a decent couch for $80, a couple nightstands for $10-20 each, a solid, heavy duty coffee table for $30. It requires patience to find what you might be looking for, and it helps if you already know which thrift stores tend to get better quality items. Antique stores are worth a shot too, if you’re ok with spending on the upper end of cheap? You can get some really well built, old, beautiful furniture. Or see if there’s a furniture consignment store around you!
I think things like IKEA or Target are fine too, as long as you take care of your furniture. I’ve never had any problems with anything from IKEA, even when I buy used, but it probably helps I don’t have kids, lol.
