I was so sad to read that @BahamaBreeze is apparently closing. Their black bean stuffed plantain bowl is possibly my favorite entree at any restaurant, and I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. And their painkiller is the tastiest version of the drink that I've tried.
I really need to get rid of BlueHost. There's no support beyond an AI chatbot, they charge exorbitant prices, and their email constantly stops working for days at a time. It's bonkers how much I pay to get so little.
Can somebody recommend a replacement for FoxIt now that @foxitsoftware has lost their mind? Updates that put additional hurdles in my path are not improvements. I shouldn't need an account to save a file I have commented on or signed.
You know what's fun? I have free checking with direct deposit, but @BankofAmerica nails me with fees over the summer, because I'm a teacher and don't get paid during the month of July, and thus no deposits come in. Thanks, guys!
Thanks for spreading the word!

OH! What a happy surprise! Gary Tiedermann did an amazing job of voicing Benny and all the other characters, and the audiobook is amazing to listen to with all its other flourishes, like the mambo intro and outro music.
Congratulations to our 16 winning Listening Library recordings! 🎉
