The article said it had a source linking the two events, then has a post-publication addendum that Roku denies any connection.

I agree with you that the timing is suspect.

Roku may dispute that the breach and the TOS change are related, but the timing is certainly suspect.

Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I’m peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.

If I can share what’s helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years… Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and “exuded.”

As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

I will give this a try! Maybe thin out the pesto with citrus or balsamic. Thanks for weighing in!

I’ve tried adding crushed red pepper for the heat, but it doesn’t change the salt balance issue.

You’ve uncovered it! THANK YOU!!!

This is a possibility, although the descriptions I can find are pretty limited. One mentions that the protagonist is a mall-rat. Any guess on when the book is set?

Edit: This was written in 96, which would have been too late. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Good questions! I think it was short by today’s YA standards - - maybe 200 pages. Definitely not a collection, just a short novel. It was more a historical fiction.

Thanks for the suggestion! Based upon the Wikipedia description I don’t think this is it, but I’ll read it to be sure.
