My favorite issue ever!

Sharing with my fellow EUB tribe members....and beyond.

Your witty humor and self-effacing banter were/are JUST what I needed today, Maggie! Thank you from the bottom of my heart...and from the bottom of my chinny-chin-chin!

My favorite egg so far! I can relate to all of it. Our Florida gecko carcass remains although I did toss the legs up "palmetto bug" I found in my closet.

Relatable! Although I no longer have the husband who would ignore the desiccated gecko...I'm not suggesting you jettison the husband (And I owe you an email about all that). Afraid I can top your chin hair story. Standing outside my AA meeting a few days ago with some friends, one of whom is a musical genius mad scientist type he stops the conversation about an upcoming show and says "Finola! You have a f%^cking hair coming out of your nose." If I had had tweezers in my bag I would have handed them to him. But he's been forewarned that I will no longer travel without tweezers and since he has such a keen eye, he gets to do the plucking if he notices an errant hair. The ladies all agreed on this course of action. You know, after baring your soul in AA meetings, having a random friend pluck a stray hair in public is just no big deal 🤣🤣

I yanked a hair from your sons nose the other night. I know you would not want to know this, but felt compelled to share after reading.

Great egg.

Hate to tell you, but there’s more to come. Wait till his Slovak eyebrows start to assert themselves

OK, you have me feeling my chin for hairs or anything else...only find tiny teeny piece of a Burger King burger I just ate, dried there....hardly enough to write about..I ate it.....

Why waste a good crumb?

Absolutely delicious. Thankyou. My beautiful husband of 43 years catches all chin hairs as they display prominently when the sun hits my face in the bathroom. This used to bug me.

No longer bugged after reading your missive. Thankyou very much.

Good husband, great eyesight!

Your writing is infectious and deliciously blunt and human. Especially enjoyed this line: "Resolve to do better tomorrow (mostly in Wordle but possibly in other things too)."

*tear in eye ~ "in other things too*

Have you read any Katherine May?
