Oh lord, I found an old pic of myself gurning at the camera that was taken at one of the old Londopes. How do I upload a pic? ---

But I have to file two sets of tax returns too, so - mixed blessing.

Likewise, working from home. Married with three kids and trying to make a success of the new creative agency Iā€™ve founded along with a couple of co-workers. Adulting is hard. ---

If I could have, Iā€™d have stolen that name. I suppose I could be Book Magpie, but Iā€™ve been Morgyn a long time now. ---

Iā€™ll definitely take that as a compliment, thank you. šŸ™‚ ā€œBookEaterā€ is a good one too, as is ā€œLibrivoreā€? But if youā€™re used to Morgyn, then stick with it. ---

Sheā€™s 22! And yes, sheā€™s sort of in her third year (did an art foundation course first). Going to have to defer since she canā€™t do it from home or in person. ---

Welcome back! I remember being entertained by seeing the UK Dopers writing about language differences betwixt US and UK. A dear cousin was talking of her travels to England, where she was trying to get her hotel to bring that thing like a very small towel, for washing your face. She learned to ask for a flannel. I said if she asked for a flannel in a US hotel, she might get a plaid shirt. My dad was a bibliovore. He seemed to inhale them, and it seemed weird to me when I was a kid. Fortunately, I later learned to do that myself. ---
