@Mr_Husky1 It's not that we've given up or don't care. It's realization that wearing makeup is a weird trap that we don't have to stay in. Would men do it? There you go.

@amazing13_13 A family boarded my train in Virginia. Their kid was super excited. I asked where they were going. He said "New York" I said "me too - maybe I'll see you there". Two days later, saw them at a tiny bagel shop in Manhattan. I said to the kid "Told you I'd see you in Manhattan."

@ChucklingChrly This just happened except the cat was outside, scratched to come in, and when I opened the door she just sat there staring at me. She could see me the whole time through the glass door. Needed eye contact?

Boarded my flight this morning and there’s a man in my seat. When I tell him that’s he’s in my seat, he gets up and moves for me to get to my seat.
He turns to me and says “you had 3A?”
And I replied “yes”
Him: “well in case you book this again the aisle is 3A and that is 3B”
Me: “It’s not but okay.”
Him: “Yes it is.”

@NinaPanickssery "where the mother is required to work" Don't you mean "both parents are required to work"?

@ThoughtCrimes80 Breckenridge is 9600 ft. Attended a conference there once and lots of folks became slightly ill from the altitude. Headaches, shortness of breath, slight nausea. Kinda like a mild flu.

@DudespostingWs My son and his pals claimed our big shed as a clubhouse one summer. Decorated it, hung out, had a few sleepovers. Club rules were posted on the door:
NO HITTING. NO CRYING. NO MESSING UP THE CLUB.

@OLaverly @WeirdMedieval The TV series is "Cadfael". The book series is "The Cadfael Chronicles"
English

@WeirdMedieval Aight, that premise is neat. Imma add it to my list.
Is there a proper name for the series?

@MorganScorpion @MedievalScholar The Brother Cadfael books are wonderful - monks solving murders! The historical context is always in the mix, including interesting info about the various monastic orders and everyday life.

@MedievalScholar The Brother Caedfel novels by Ellis Peters are not only set in the time of the Crusades, but Brother Caedfel himself had been a crusader.
Then there's Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.
Or Winning His Spurs by G A Henty. Surprisingly it's historically accurate. Says the internet.

Anyone have some historical fiction book recommendations during the times of the crusades?

@MedievalScholar any suggestions for historical fiction around the times of the crusades?

@benonwine Hard milled French soap. The grocery store stuff gets gooey, melts fast, and dries out your skin. And don't get me started on "shower gel". So many bottles in the landfill!

@benonwine Jif peanut butter. No generic spread for me. Must be the creamy version.

@ChrisKindaReads McCarthy's books are so memorable. And they will all make you cry.
