I'd never really considered that people might not have seen coal burn.

In Ireland both coal and turf are still fairly common as the primary method of heating. That said they are "trying" to phase it out.

I used be a an absolute fiend for biting my nails. What fixed it was buying a little Swiss army knife nail set. It's got a wee little nail clippers and file. It fulfilled the need for nervous movement.

IRC is where it's at. In the many years I've been using it to download books there's only been a handful of books I've been unable to find.

Do you have any experience with how CBD work coming from the perspective of a heavy smoker?

I worked the extra hour which is overtime.

I buy physical copies of anything I'm likely to reread. I prefer physical books but if I want to fit everything I read into my flat I'd need to throw out bot my partner and everything we own.

Herself(my partner) on the other hand buys books she never intends to read. She'll buy books with pretty looking spines or covers. Or she'll buy something she enjoyed before but doesn't intend to read again as a physical reminder of the emotions she experienced whilst going through it the first time round.

These opposing purchasing priorities have resulted in an 8 year argument which I have dubbed the Bookshelf Schism.

I should also note that I typically have at least 3 or 4 copies of the Hobbit at any given time on the off chance I can convince someone to read it for the first time.

Honestly having weekends off sucks. I used to use my days off to go to the bank and other such chores. My last job I got weekends off and I absolutely hated trying to plan stuff around my work day.

Weekend night life also sucks it's all far too loud. I'd much rather a quiet pub on a Wednesday evening for a couple hands of cards.

Instead of an extra hour in bed I got to work another hour. Gotta love working nights.

I thought that was Roosevelt's buddy and a mountain lion.
