  • not quite a style I like

    Disclaimer here: I would not normally ever, EVER pick up this book on my own. I'm only reading it because it's on my MA reading list.First up: UGH PUNCTUATION. I hate this no-quotation-marks style. Hated it when Cormac McCarthy used it, hate it now. I know it's a stylistic thing, but... well, I guess I'll just say it's not a style I like.Normal People is a story of abuse. It's the story of Marianne who goes from terrible relationship to terrible relationship and allows herself to be abused becau... more

  • A book written to be turned into Instagram quotes

    Did not enjoy. Do not recommend. Lots of it makes no sense but sounds “inspirational”. Complete drudgery. I’d love to hear you argue this with me because I genuinely do not understand the hype at all.

  • Complete claptrap

    This story of a six-year-old child left to fend for herself in a Carolina swamp when her stereotype swamp-trash likker-sluggin' pa finally doesn't come home again (we're not told why - hopefully an alligator ate him), is an exercise in cliches. We are asked to believe that this beautiful (natch), sensitive, artistic blah blah little girl raises herself from barefoot illiteracy to womanhood and published fame as a naturalist, with three self-illustrated books on marshland flora and fauna. She is ... more

  • You'll NEVER Want To Leave

    I read a lot. Sometimes folks refer a title to me ... sometimes I don't ALWAYS 'adjust' to the referring individuals taste. My niece recommended this title and said, "It's not so much the story line ... even though that's VERY good ... but, the WRITING style. After the first pages, I was HOOKED. Love Ms. Owen's style. Descriptive, picturesque speech.

  • Really? Not a thumbs up from me.

    Can't read, no school, starved and all alone but learns to read and then studies Einstein, really? Left all alone her whole life but the towns 2 most eligible bachelors fall for her, a good guy and a bad boy, really? I'm definitely in the minority.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Escape
Q: But at what point did this whole corporate retreat thing happen? Was that always part of the idea or did it come later?
Katie and Jason explain that the concept attracted both corporate groups and families from early on, with the space evolving to accommodate meetings and events after games, and planning for a dedicated party/meeting area.
Dry Clean Auto
Q: How do you handle the timing of repairs when insurance is involved, and what's the typical timeline?
We assess damage on the spot, coordinate parts and repairs with insurance, and generally see a two to three week timeline for many collision repairs, with shorter timelines for simpler tasks like bumper covers or headlights.
Dry Clean Auto
Q: You mentioned a 24-hour automated kiosk—how does that change the customer experience and turnaround times?
The kiosk enables customers to drop off and pay without speaking to staff, with the plant handling the processing and the stores returning finished orders, resulting in a flexible and often faster pickup experience.
Cajun Salvage Broadband
Q: What are the main challenges in staffing and maintaining a fiber network in rural areas?
Finding hardworking, versatile technicians; investing in local training programs; balancing pace to avoid overextension while meeting demand.
Cajun Salvage Broadband
Q: What sparked Cajun Broadband's start, and how did you grow from a tree to a full network?
An antenna in a tree demonstrated feasibility; subsequent grants and community demand fueled expansion to nine parishes with fiber and wireless service.
