At least there will be dogs?

There are some successes, but they almost always immediately become overshadowed by some new, larger problem. While I personally enjoyed how obstacles were overcome, it is exhausting to watch a constant downward spiral.

After a quick search I found a copy - I lost it at "There's a troll in the dungeon! [BLAM]" Harry Potter and the Deathly Weapons

And MUDs.

Second for Walkabout! While the game is "old" (it's been out for a long time) they continue to add courses and content, at the rate of about a new course every other month. If you have one or more friends who also have this game, it's about the best VR hang you can have.

It can be confusing in the US because almost every point of sale system asks for a tip now. As a general rule, if you are paying before you consume your food then no tip is required. If you are paying after you have been served and eaten, then a tip is socially expected: 10% for "poor" service, 15% for average, and 20%+ for exceptional service. Not tipping is also an option, but largely considered "A Dick Move" by most people. If your transaction does not involve eating a meal then tipping should not be part of the transaction.

There are of course exceptions and edge cases, but this should cover you 97% of the time.

I just finished "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. Makes me NEVER want to get into mountain climbing as going up Everest sounds insane. Even if you remove the storm and the deaths, I don't want to spend weeks getting acclimatized to an environment where humans don't belong just so I can freeze my buns off.

Buckle up and get ready for a RIDE! (I was very bummed out when I got caught up, fun read!)

Did you ever put the McChicken between the two patties of the McDouble to create a McGangbang? I miss that $2 monstrosity.

I'd rather spend an hour cooking than spend an extra hour working so someone else can cook it for me. Quality can apply to time as well as ingredients.

Every time I try to get into sheep counting I end up falling asleep...

Sorry to break it to you, but it looks like the game series and not the book series (Which makes sense based on OP). That being said, it sounds like at least I have a new book series to check out, so thanks!
