I just write it down with a pencil on paper by year, month, title, and author. Occasionally I add a 🙂if I especially liked it, something like this 😬 if it scared me or creeped me out, or ☹️ if I was disappointed. I started keeping track in June of 2017. Since then I’ve read 390 different books. I’ve read a few series of books more than once.

If his breath smelled like dog shit, likely it was caused by tonsil stones.

I had my boobs done too. Walk in the park. Tonsils were worse I’ll grant you that, but worth it.

I didn’t consult a GP about it. I sought out an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat doc) and told him in no uncertain terms that I could not fancy myself poking in my throat and hacking up tonsil shits when I was an old woman and I needed to get these buggers out NOW! He was a young guy and totally sympathetic with my predicament and fixed me up. I tried mouthwash and whatnot. There’s really only one permanent fix, my friends: tonsillectomy.

I do not see a 6 inch tonsil stone so not buying it. When I first learned I had them I plucked one out the size of a garbanzo bean and the stench was enough to gag a maggot. Eventually I had my tonsils removed because of those pesky funky goobers. I was 59 and the experience wasn’t as bad as my doc said it would be. So glad to not be dealing with them.

Build it out flush with the baseboard. You could also add something like bead board paneling and drop that down on top of the base and have it chair rail height or higher.

A segment on a tv cooking show: used baking powder on a wet scrubby to remove stains from coffee mugs. Worth a shot. Baking powder, not soda.

To describe someone who is endlessly optimistic and cheerfully sweet no matter what. Prime example.
