== Lube As A Crew ==
So @Astroglide had decided to do another Watch Party after the #ReviewAsACrew theme that was going on. @yronnia was kind enough to notify me of this fantastic review that came up before the party.
So as usual, so many memes (may of the valentine's cards are from @astroglideofficial) and responses came with the latest @Astroglide watch of the episodes 8, 9 , 10 of S1.
And @astroglideofficial's reactions were glorious as expected (reach from bottom up for chronological reactions)
However, as you can imagine, finishing at episode 10 left them where the rest of us were.
Can't wait for them to see Season 2! Hopefully they'll get some of their hope back!

== Love Notes ==
Hey Lovelies <3 I hope that however you celebrated today, (Valentine's Day, Captain Cook's Murder Day, Your Birthday, whatever it happened to be) that you got something positive and fun out of it. I know this day is a mixed bag for a lot of folks, so any way you are able to get something good out of it, I'm excited for.
A little gentle reminder, something that took me a lot of years to realise -- you are enough, with or without a partner, I hope you know that.
Your partner or lack of one doesn't define you. You are you and you are wonderful and you are enchanting. You could be in the perfect relationship and that other person(s) could bring out the best in you, and yet, the best in you is still you.
You shine because you are a beautiful, unique little radiant ball of starstuff, and don't you ever forget it.
You deserve just as much love as you give to others, no matter what anyone says, and you deserve to be happy and to be you, just the way you are.
Now matter how you feel on any given day, no matter how much energy, or spoons, or love you have for yourself, you are doing enough, and you deserve all the wonderful things this world has to offer.
I know I speak for all of us on this safespaceship crew, when I say I hope tomorrow brings you joy, and love, and unhinged laughter.
Get some rest babes, love you <3
== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

Unfinished works and works for other fandom events are allowed. You can find more information about Lights on Park Ave and the participation guidelines here.
I reread a few books, yeah! Not too many, because I do have a to-read list a mile long, but sometimes it's nice to go back to something familiar.
I reread:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer and Anne Barrows
The Naming by Alison Croggon
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
And then unsure if this counts, but I read Pride & Prejudice in French (Orgueil et Préjugés, translated by Valentine Leconte and Charlotte Pressoir,) which I have read in English before, but not in French.
3. What were your top five books of the year?
Oh man!! This is a hard one!!! I'm going to pick books that were new to me this year, since I do love the ones I reread.
Catherine of Aragon: Infanta of Spain, Queen of England by Theresa Earenfight
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Brought Up of Nought: A History of the Woodvile Family by Lynda J. Pidgeon
Old English Legal Writings by Wulfstan, translated and edited by Andrew Rabin
The Rule of the Land: Walking Ireland's Border by Garett Carr
I think I read more nonfiction this year than I ever have, and that was really fun!! #5 also has a soft spot in my heart because my dad and I have been doing a book club (to give him something to think about other than his depression -- and to give me something to think about too, I guess, except I have the advantage over him of being medicated) and I really enjoyed this one.
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?
Ooh!! I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Wulfstan's legal writings, mentioned above. I also didn't expect The Black Witch by Laurie Forest to be as good and engrossing as it was -- I thought it would be sort of middle-of-the-road, pretty standard YA fantasy, so I was really impressed with the nuance in the writing of the main character.
Ernest Hemingway a publié en 1964 « Paris est une fête » (par chance il ne connaissait pas Anne Hidalgo, ce livre autrement n’aurait jamais existé !), nous, nous fêtons tout : nos anniversaires respectifs, nos 2 anniversaires de mariage (civil et religieux) ET la Saint-Valentin ET la Saint-Amour… car pourquoi faire de jaloux entre ces 2 derniers ?
Mais vendredi (9 août), nous nous sommes dit que nous allons plutôt célébrer la Saint-Amour dimanche, en regardant la Cérémonie de Clôture des JO.
Malheureusement la Cérémonie de Clôture nous a assez vite ennuyés, beaucoup déçus même (et nous sommes loin d’être les seuls !)… nous nous attendions à tellement mieux !!!
Nous ne savions pas que la France avait à ce point honte de sa langue : LE FRANÇAIS, de ses chanteurs, voire de ses acteurs !!! A part Zaho de Sagazan aux Tuileries (« Sous le ciel de Paris ») et le ténor Benjamin Bernheim (« L’Hymne à Apollon » de Gabriel Fauré… un tube absolu susceptible de plaire à la Terre entière, n'est-ce pas ???) qui ont chanté en français, tout ensuite l’a été en anglais (dont les groupes Phoenix, Air et la chanteuse Angèle). Car chacun sait bien sûr qu’en France, à part ceux-là, nous n’avons aucun chanteur ou groupe digne de ce nom ! Idem pour les comédiens. Aux Jeux de Londres, nous avions vu Daniel Craig/James Bond descendre en parachute avec la Reine d’Angleterre et hier soir, Tom Cruise, arriver du ciel en rappel au Stade de France pour chercher le drapeau Olympique et l’amener en moto puis en cargo jusqu’aux USA, à Los Angeles.
Malgré tout, une mention particulière pour Iseult qui, vers la fin de la Cérémonie, a superbement chanté une chanson française (« Comme d’habitude » de Jacques Revaux et Claude François)… mais en anglais ! Quoique cela pouvait se justifier car elle s’adressait à ce moment-là aux Américains. Et puis, ce fut une très belle interprétation !
Le « numéro » de Tom Cruise était bien monté, rien à dire (et franchement, on s’en tape le coquillard qu’il soit de l’église de Scientologie !). Mais nous l’avons regardé le lendemain matin au petit déjeuner car, fatigués d’attendre la fin qui n’arrivait pas, nous avons lancé un enregistrement et sommes allés nous coucher.
En conclusion, sauvée par la classe de Léon Marchand en costard noir, la très bonne ambiance qui régnait dans le stade et les 4 karaokés repris par tous les athlètes et les spectateurs du Stade de France (génial le « Freed from Desire » de Gala, un des Crazy Signs les plus connus, dansé dans tous les Villages du Club Med !) et, SURTOUT, le très impressionnant feu d’artifice, nous donnons ❤️❤️ sur 5 à cette Clôture, pas plus car beaucoup trop longue, trop sombre, trop pompeuse et confuse (signification de la guêpe interstellaire ???) et ne faisant pas suffisamment honneur à nos artistes français.
De loin, nous lui avons préféré notre petit « french apéro » : Beaujolais Saint-Amour, pâté, saucisson, baguette de pain, chips, petites crudités locales, sel de Guérande, beurre et « Chorizo corse » (mais oui !).
Quatre femmes et la halte de chemin de fer de Saint-Loup-du-Gast : portraits de Louise Modeste Brunet (1858-1908), Célina Modeste Victorine Boudesseul (1880-?), Marie Eugénie Valentine Pillier (1898-1983) et Marie Anne Elisa Boudesseul (1853-1914)
Tout commence avec la création de la ligne de chemin de fer Caen (Calvados) – Laval (Mayenne). Cette ligne, qui passait par Flers (Orne), permettait de connecter ces villes à Angers (Maine-et-Loire) grâce à la ligne Laval-Angers. Elle permettait ainsi de connecter par Normandie, Maine et Anjou par plusieurs tronçons de lignes successives. Cette ligne est inaugurée en 1874 et est en service…

En 1998, alors qu'elle travaille sur la série Felicity, Jennifer rencontre l'acteur Scott Foley, avec qui elle entame une romance au bureau
En 2000, le couple a signé, mais au printemps 2003, le couple a divorcé. Soit dit en passant, la raison de la dissolution du mariage était «des différences irréconciliables».
Après avoir divorcé de son premier mari, Garner a noué une relation avec Michael Vartan, avec qui ils ont joué ensemble dans la série télévisée Spy.
En 2004, Jennifer commence à travailler sur le film "Pearl Harbor", où Ben Affleck joue le rôle de son collègue. Bientôt, une relation amoureuse commence entre les acteurs, qui se termine par un mariage secret le 29 juin 2005.
Dans le mariage, le couple hollywoodien a eu trois héritiers: des filles - Violet Ann (01/12/2005) et Seraphina Rose Elizabeth (06/01/2009), ainsi qu'un fils - Samuel (27/02/2012). Malgré le statut de l'un des couples les plus harmonieux d'Hollywood, le couple a néanmoins divorcé en 2018. La raison de la rupture était la trahison d'Affleck avec une femme de ménage.
À ce jour, les films les plus célèbres avec la participation de l'actrice sont : Attrape-moi si tu peux (2002), Daredevil (2003), De 13 à 30 ans (2004), Elektra (2005), Cat and Mouse "(2006), "Fantômes d'anciennes copines" (2009), "La Saint-Valentin" (2010), "L'étrange vie de Timothy Green" (2011), "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013), "Hommes, femmes et enfants" (2014), Seconde Chance (2014), Alexandre et le Terrible, Horrible, Pas Bon, Très Mauvais Jour (2014), Amour, Simon (2018).
The Importance of a Contact Lens Exam in Denver for Healthy Vision
A contact lens exam is an essential part of maintaining healthy vision for individuals who rely on contact lenses for vision correction. Just like regular eye exams, a contact lens exam in Denver serves as a comprehensive evaluation of the eyes, ensuring the correct fit and prescription of contact lenses. This article explores the significance of a contact lens exam in Denver, highlighting its benefits and the role it plays in safeguarding ocular health.
The Need for a Contact Lens Exam:
A contact lens exam is a specialized examination that goes beyond a routine eye exam [2]. It focuses on assessing the suitability of contact lenses for an individual's eyes, taking into account their specific needs and lifestyle. This exam is crucial because poorly fitted or incorrect contact lenses can cause discomfort, eye infections, and even damage to the cornea.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
During a contact lens exam in Denver, an eye care professional conducts a thorough evaluation of the eyes to determine the appropriate type and prescription of contact lenses [2]. This evaluation includes an assessment of visual acuity, eye health, tear film quality, corneal measurements, and any specific visual corrections required, such as astigmatism lenses.
Precision and Customization:
One of the key advantages of a contact lens exam is the precision and customization it offers [2]. Every individual's eyes are unique, and a contact lens exam ensures that the lenses prescribed fit properly and provide optimal vision correction. This tailored approach enhances comfort, visual acuity, and overall satisfaction with contact lenses.
Safety and Eye Health:
Contact lens exams play a vital role in maintaining eye health and preventing complications [1]. These exams allow eye care professionals to identify any underlying issues that may affect the safe use of contact lenses, such as dry eyes, allergies, or corneal abnormalities. Regular contact lens exams also enable timely detection of potential eye diseases or infections, ensuring prompt treatment and minimizing risks.
Education and Guidance:
A contact lens exam provides an opportunity for patients to receive education and guidance on proper contact lens care and hygiene [3]. Eye care professionals can offer valuable advice on lens insertion and removal techniques, cleaning solutions, and recommended wearing schedules. This education empowers patients to maintain good ocular health and reduce the risk of infections or complications associated with improper contact lens usage.
Compliance with Legal Requirements:
Under the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act, eye care professionals are legally obligated to provide patients with a copy of their contact lens prescription, even if not requested.This ensures that patients have the freedom to choose where to purchase their contact lenses, promoting fair competition and consumer rights.
