From 7b5a93a2d5af2049823f8ab1e8112e87d1d23b80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "M. Taylor Saotome-Westlake" Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2022 23:37:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] November 3 specifically wasn't serious but November is serious I think I was hoping to do more in the evening, but I got called away to a Friendship Problem (even though I was re-watching Pantheon ep. 7 when I got called)? The moral is that yet again, I thought I was sane enough to function with internet today, and yet again, I was not. The cable comes out for at least the next two days, and likely until evening Sunday. --- ...-product-review-various-agp-erotic-aids.md | 55 ++++++++++++++++--- notes/notes.txt | 11 ++++ 2 files changed, 57 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/content/drafts/multi-product-review-various-agp-erotic-aids.md b/content/drafts/multi-product-review-various-agp-erotic-aids.md index c5e7414..27601d9 100644 --- a/content/drafts/multi-product-review-various-agp-erotic-aids.md +++ b/content/drafts/multi-product-review-various-agp-erotic-aids.md @@ -12,25 +12,53 @@ Today, I'd like to talk about some ... _consumer_ products.
