This butcher's twine dispenser helps keep things in place
This stand stops my spool of kitchen twine from rolling off the counter.
Years ago I bought a loose spool of kitchen twine. My cat constantly knocks it off the counter. I finally finished that spool, and replaced it with this spool on a stand!
Seriously a spool of thread lasts so long that I want a stand for it. I like to keep it on the counter, and not in a drawer. I do not like it on the floor. I don’t like it rolling around.
Thoughtfully, this stand even has a string cutter on top!

This book helped me manage my back pain
Abuses in my youth have left me in a lot of pain. Robin McKenzie’s Treat Your Own Back helped me more than any doctor.
I was desperately searching for an option other than letting doctors I do not trust operate on my spine. In response, a friend sent me a copy of this book. Spine, neck and lower back expert Robin McKenzie’s Treat Your Own Back delivered enough information to let me hold off on the surgery and return to a fairly functional life.
Treat Your Own Back gives a lot information about why the pain is happening, and what posture can do to alleviate it. Simple exercises that’ll help relieve pressure on nerves, and build core strength. Common sense approaches to dealing with back pain, rather than running right for surgery.
Someday I think I’ll end up under the knife. I have some good friend who have had wonderful success with it. Until I find I really need it, and I’ve run out of self care options, however, I’m going to keep looking for books like this one.

Fantastic vinyl Star Wars Rebels Chopper bobblehead
This is a beautiful model of Chopper. Star Wars Rebels C1-10P is a sociopathic astromech, and my favorite droid!
Rescued from the wreckage of a Clone Wars Y Wing fighter by a young Hera Syndulla, Chopper is one cantankerous old warrior. I’ve loved him the first, and watched dutifully for his appearance in Rogue One. My favorite scene with Chop is probably the one where he suggests leaving an annoying force-sensitive baby on a boobytrapped starship.
Now Chopper can hang out next to the BB-8 I never play with.
