Challenge #04284-K266: Worth Working up to

They had been dereggers. Though long since rescued, their bodily systems made it hard for them to eat, well, anything very easily. But seeing all that people here enjoyed, made them long for something more than.. blah. They went to the Gyiik temple where they said the people there had magic that could help them. -- Anon Guest

It was a bizarre food allergy, if it could truly qualify as such. The freed former citizens of a now-extinct Greater Deregulation could not eat complicated food. Their former overlord had fed them the most basic Nutri-Food for all their lives. Which was essentially a vitamin soup. Even now they were freed, they could only safely digest simple proteins and carbohydrates.

They were working on it, but going was excruciatingly slow.

They were motivated, of course, because chicken, fish, and potatoes can get dull. To put it lightly, they held a huge party when they solved being able to eat eggs. They got fibre with the help of watermelon and cucumbers, and were looking forward to tomatoes.

Y'all, if you are having recurring muscle pain that isn't helped by chiropractic, massage, or posture therapy, you should get an x-ray (if the therapeutic locations don't do one anyone) or an MRI.

You may discover that the frequent shoulder pain is caused by a broken rib or your aching lower back is because of scar tissue wrapped around your colon. It may not change what you can do to fix it, but it'll change how we work and that can make all the difference.

How the shutdown will inflict lasting damage

The feds will struggle to dig out of a backlog of hiring and training that’s essential to pushing out tax refunds, protecting U.S. borders and guiding air traffic.

Pretty, pretty, pretty grim piece there Politico

Lasting Damage - final verdict

It really was a good crime story. It turned out I was right about some of my guess, but wrong about the others, and the twists didn't feel like they were coming from nowhere.

Lasting Damage - middle of the book

It's definitely good crime story. Not ground-breaking, not awesome, but a solid read. The plot is moving forward, there is one dead body, and I'm starting to come up with theories. Or well, one theory--the husband, at one point, had been poisoning his wife to make her think she's stressed.

Now, like I mentioned before, the main flaw are the female characters: at first, I thought that the issue is that none of them is level-headed, etc. But that's not it. All of the women, who get POV, have issue focused solely on men. They're what drives them. 

I think that it really would have helped to have a POV women, who did not spend most of her POV hung up on the fidelity of her husband, or his lack of sexual interest in her, or the fact that she wants to have lover, but is afraid to.
