#TheMoreYouKnow

Did you know there are 7 body farms in the US? These are acreage that universities own and the archeology students study human decomposition. This knowledge helps forensic anthropologists and crime scene investigators with cases.

Freeman Ranch is one of those body farms and is located in Texas.

I almost forgot about this! As per usual, Nancy risks bodily harm to investigate a mystery that magically falls in her lap. Our plucky girl detective won‘t be deterred from her quest by anything! I enjoyed this more than I expected, but I wish we‘d had a little more Bess and George. Ned does get a bit more time on page, but now I have to look up 1930s/1960s football rules. Were QBs also kickers back then? 🤔 #nancydrewbr #enquiringminds

BarkingMadRead Yeah that seemed really odd to me as well! I‘m sure there‘s no rule against it, but wouldn‘t the QB want that break when the kicker comes into play? It just seemed like a lot to me! 6mo
Librarybelle Hmmm…I‘m not sure! Being both the QB and the kicker seems off. 6mo
DGRachel @BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle Apparently, it‘s not against the rules and there are a handful of well known (in their time, at least) QBs who doubled as the kicker. It‘s just not super common. #themoreyouknow (edited) 6mo

I‘ve always wondered this myself and totally agree with the above 😆 #themoreyouknow

Was persuaded by @batsy to hop into the buddy read for “The Once and Future King,” a book that‘s been on my TBR for a while. And thus begins this cautionary tale and a word of advice: Don‘t wait too long to read the books you buy. Because that portable, pocket-sized book with the tiny print you bought when you were younger will not be your friend if you wait until you are middle-aged to attempt to read it. #TheMoreYouKnow #YoureWelcome

Julsmarshall Lol! I feel this deeply! 2y
batsy 🤣 2y
Amiable @Julsmarshall The struggle is real! 😬 2y

Amiable @batsy I read chapter 1 and now I'm in. Darn it. 😃 (edited) 2y
KateReadsYA This post is glorious 🤣🤣🤣 I need to read this one as well. 2y
batsy @Amiable Yay! It worked its wily magic on me, too. Lol 2y
Lcsmcat Yes! My copy is mass market paperback size and not only is the print a challenge, so is holding it open! 2y
marleed Oh I so relate! Funny pic! 2y
RaeLovesToRead Haha, oh dear! 😅😅 2y
ravenlee This happened to me with my copies-I‘ve-had-forever-and-will-finally-read of Robinson Crusoe and The House of the Seven Gables. I suffered through the former, but I gave up on the latter and got a library copy. 2y
quietjenn Yep! I saw your conversation with @batsy and found myself wondering if my copy was still around, but it is definitely a mass market with wee print, and I'm not sure I could do that for 600+ pages these days. 2y
Amiable @quietjenn I may follow @ravenlee ‘s lead and head for the library. I already checked Libby and there‘s no digital version available there. 😖 2y
Ruthiella I think its often less the font size for me and more the cheap paper and narrow margins. I‘ve had old paperbacks literally fall apart as I read them. 😆😭 2y
LeahBergen 😂😂 I feel you! 2y
dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 There is a larger print copy, but the book itself weighs about 5 pounds! 2y
SamAnne 😂😂😂 2y
CarolynM 🤣 2y
BarbaraJean 😂😂 *Going to my shelves now to immediately prioritize all pocket paperbacks before my eyes get any worse* 2y
Bluebird 😂😂😂😂 i found this same problem with my copy. I‘m now reading it via audiobook! I‘m afraid to look at some of the other books that have been languishing on my TBR shelves. 😬 2y

Today I went and got my first manicure in more than a decade. I‘m a nail biter and have been my whole life. I spent the month of July, my birth month, trying to stop with the end goal being a fancy polish colour. I hate dirty nails so summer and gardening is a hot mess time to give oneself this challenge ( did you know soaking in polident gives you white nails? It saved me!) there will be many books and manicure shots henceforth 🤣🤣

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love it!! 💅 when I was younger I bit my nails and I don‘t remember how I stopped, but somehow I did 🙌🏻 2y
Cortg Congrats! I‘m not a biter, but I hate any length so I‘m always cutting them super short. I love the blue! Enjoy 😊 2y
AmyG Perfect color for summer! 2y

mcctrish @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Covid has certainly helped in my case 🤣🤣 2y
mcctrish @Cortg I totally hear you about the length and truthfully I used to hate how polish felt on my nails ( not my toes for some reason) I am not sold on keeping them this long and I‘m not sure I can afford to maintain this professional elegance either 🤣🤣 (edited) 2y
mcctrish @AmyG whatever it‘s real name is 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m calling it swimming pool blue 🤣🤣 2y
LeahBergen They look great! And I‘ve never heard of that Polident trick. 😮 2y
mcctrish @LeahBergen my manicure person said she learned that in school, a lot of times the older ladies just wanted nail care, not polish but your nails yellow with age. So they‘d soak with polident #themoreyouknow (edited) 2y
LeahBergen That‘s good to know as I get into my own “older ladies” years. 😆 2y
mcctrish @LeahBergen I‘ve done it twice this month ( cooking and gardening and I don‘t know what else made a few of my nails disgusting ) 2y
Tamra I had no idea! They look fabulous! 2y
Cathythoughts Nails look great. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻😁 2y
mcctrish @Tamra it‘s a game changer 👏🏻👏🏻 and thank you 2y
mcctrish @Cathythoughts thank you so much and you are welcome, a little soak while you read maybe ? 2y

This was fascinating and more than I expected
Full disclosure I needed an audio book while I waited for a hold to come and I liked the cover. I‘d like this in poster form to remind me to maximize my breathing potential.
Fun fact: if you feel a panic attack coming on or are with someone who is do not take or say “take deep breaths” hold you breath instead. #themoreyouknow

Another amazing book by Atul Gawande!!! We can always strive to be better. Through our medical history we have often thought that we had the best medicine, the best technic, the best treatment, and then along comes someone else who shows us a Better way. I hope I never get so stuck in my ways that I refuse to believe a Better way is possible. #AtulGawande #Nurselife #Better #themoreyouknow #putyourprideaside
