So sorry to hear about your hip! I can't even imagine the pain. I hope the PT route helps out. I should really get back to the library, it's been awhile. I do use cloudLibrary, and Hoopla to borrow digitally, but there's nothing like going into a library, smelling all the books, the quiet and calm. It's relaxing.

The site has been decorated for Halloween! (Well, except for the blog section.) Check out the Halloween goodies page - it's the same one from last year but updated with some new goodies and links. .

Nice! I like the Hallowtheme =)

@enflicted, thanks and good to see you! Hopefully the hurricane didn't bother you all too much. How's the post-surgery healing going?

Hurricane Helene, didn't affect us to much, as we're on the east coast, we had a few feeder bands come through, but nothing we can't handle. I was just about to post an update on post surgery, but everything is terrific, with a few downsides!

2 more kitties have joined Kitty Friends!

That's so awesome to read about the Humanist Group, seems really interesting and helpful! The current book you're finishing up, almost sounds like a fever dream to me, but i'm also intrigued by it lol

@enflicted - gotta say that if I had read that description *prior* to starting the book, well, I probably wouldn't have started the book!

We've got a couple of new Kitty Friends!

Come meet our newest Kitty Friend, Charlize!

Please honor my Kitty and his little attitude who lived 20 years. https://eastathenaeum.neocities.org/Profile/Kitty.gif

Whoops, I got the name wrong, it's "Charlize Jr"! Sorry about that.

@eastathenaeum - your kitty is so ROUND and cute!

Come meet Marzipan, the newest Kitty Friend!

The kitties are so precious

Kudos to you for building your digital media collection, I've been doing the same for some time now, streaming is no longer a viable option to cable, the prices seem to cancel out each other.

Hey @enflicted! Good to see you! Yes, I'm kind of tired of paying for media that apparently isn't actually really mine. I'm definitely going back to wanting physical media. And yes, the cost of streaming is getting ridiculous!

I've gone down the digital media route though, because I've got almost everything I want on DVD already, but the new shows that I want to collect haven't got a DVD release, or they are free to watch (legally) online. I practically went through every series I owned during Covid and wanted something new.

I find it hard to watch anything on TV now days, and I feel old just talking about it. I usually end up recycling my old shows and rewatch, because I just can't stand the new stuff today. Hell I still watch 3rd Rock from the Sun, at the moment i'm on my 4th rewatch of Merlin.

Ahh, Merlin is one of those shows on my "I should watch that one of these days" list. Nothing wrong with rewatching old stuff!

Merlin is such a great show, a must watch in my opinion, it's a comfort thing for me, since I love medieval times.
