Yeah, basically.
Book: Elinor & Marianne Dashwood
Elinor = older sister = Sense
Marianne = younger sister = Sensibility
Hallmark Movie: Ella & Marianne Dashwood
Ella = younger sister = Sensibility
Marianne = older sister = Sense
In the book Elinor is practical and Marianne is emotional.
In the movie it’s exactly the reverse. They also switched which sister is older.
Sounds like they are trying to keep you on your toes.
I am helping clean out two houses. I took it upon myself to make sure books found a good home.
I fill a backpack with all it can fit; 15-20 books and walk to a Little Lending Library in the neighborhood.
There are eight within two miles. I just wanted a short walk yesterday, so I went 1/2 mile to the closest (actually one closer, but she told me she was a publisher and looking more to give than get, plus rarely empty enough for 15 books), but when I got there it was taken in for winter upkeep. Fearing that they were all gone (they were there Monday), I headed 1 1/4 miles towards (and past my apartment); I still have 70-100 books left, so I didn’t want to go home with them and needed to see what boxes were there as well.
That one was gone too. The next one, another half mile is not part of the official system, so I went to give that a try. If that wasn’t there, another 1/2 mile into town to private boxes, but I pretty much filled those on Monday. Thankfully that was there and pretty much emptied out.
Totally exhausted after walking over 2 miles with around 10 lbs of books on my back.
I am a fat, old guy with bad knees.
We gave the more promising looking books to the local library, for their “friends of the library” book sale.
I went to the Library website and they said they weren’t taking donations and to use the Little Libraries.
There are a few art & reference books that I hope will fit in the boxes.
When I emptied my house, my Temple used to do Rummage Sales twice a year, so I brought them all there. They haven’t restarted since COVID.
and I have taken ten or so for myself. There were a bunch I put to the curb, I didn’t think people would want (out dated reference books, tour books taken from hotels 20 years ago) and actually half of those were taken. I felt bad for putting them out, but someone got them, even if just for pictures
My town dump has a place to put books, and i brought the partly-completed puzzle books there (they were taken by a woman who brings those to schools.) I didn’t bother trying to find homes for the outdated reference books, though.
My parents had a LOT of books.
So my partner came out to their mother as being bi at Thanksgiving. I’ve known for a long time, they told me a few months ago and I was like, “Oh cool. So we can check out people together? Love you.”
Their mother started accusing them of sleeping around or planning to leave me, made it entirely about her and what her friends would say, etc. etc.
They haven’t spoken since, we skipped Christmas, and my partner is frequently bummed about it. It costs literally nothing to react like, “Oh okay, anything I can do? Doesn’t change how I feel about you.”
They just felt it was important to tell their mom as they slowly come out of the closet. What’s insane is that MIL’s sister is gay and has been married to her wife for 16 years. That’s okay but this isn’t. (Although, they did have a multiple-year fight over it first. Still thought it would result in them being accepting years later.)
Why did she needed to tell her mother this at all? It would be different if you were divorcing over this but this just seems like her sex life and not really her mother’s business.
also, are you sure she’s bi and not a lesbian?
My daughter came out to us as bi, even though I am not aware of her ever dating a woman
My nose is getting stuffy and I’ve been sneezing a lot the last couple of days. 
The valuation software just got an upgrade and now I gotta see what 
changed.
sounds like a computer virus
Stupid webinar isn’t working thru my computer headset and I have to stream the audio via my cell phone. Now I can’t play Genshin Impact whilst the webinar is going on…
Who upgrades their valuation software this close to year end?!?!???
This is the NEW system, not the current one. Plus, other actuarians are handling YE 2022. 
And my nose is still stuffy and a bit runny now. Darnit. I don’t wanna be sick.
Joining the covid cooties club?
Been there, done that, didn’t get a t-shirt. 
ETA: Test came back negative!!!
It came out in the context of one of our friends being trans, and MIL said they would never acknowledge our friend’s gender because they won’t accept LGBTQ woke-speak. We said “they” and MIL got upset about it. As a result, MIL will never get to meet our friend, which is on MIL.
I am quite sure my partner isn’t gay.
I’m so sorry. It has to suck for your partner to get that from their own mother.
My bi daughter had to educate me a LOT before she was comfortable coming out to me. I hate that for her but I also appreciate that she did that and have told her so. My parents have accepted her although none of us knows what will happen should she ever bring a girlfriend to a family event. I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
