Book sales, thumbs and runaway greenery.

Another library book sale, another couple of stacks of mostly unfamiliar authors.

Two dollars each.

Life is good.

If you fold your thumb over your palm, does it extend beyond your hand?

I always thought being limber was a good thing but in this case it’s not. Thankfully my thumb is where it should be. But then I haven’t been what you’d call limber in years.

My plant is trying to escape.

Though where it thinks it’s going is anyone’s guess.

    1. This plant used to climb up the corners and over the door but when we remodeled I had to cut it all back. It left a mess on the walls so I’ll probably keep snipping and keep it contained this time around…

  4. I love book deals, and it’s joy to read an author you’ve never heard of before. At least for me, I’ve read a lot of books from authors I hadn’t heard of and really loved the book. His Lordship doesn’t dig into that plant? I’ve had to place every plant I had on the floor out reach because my cats are hoodlums, ugh.

  5. If you read the article associated with the Thumb Test, you’ll find so many caveats that you’ll realize this is mostly clickbait meant to scare you. Notice that even in the clickbait, it notes it is NOT a diagnostic tool and it “might” provide clues.

    The “normal” position in the sketches looks awfully stiff to me. Do you remember when you were four years old and learned to show your age with your fingers? Your thumb was probably across your palm. “Normal” is often considered being able to reach the base of the small finger with the thumb. Thumb movement involves three separate joints and one of them is not a simple hinge. If you’ve seen photos of HWSNBN making a fist, his thumb looks either very short or very stiff, and resembles the “ideal” in the clickbait.

  7. Hooray for library book sales! I am perplexed as to how thumb laxity could be an indication of potential heart troubles, but then, I know little about medical marvels.

    Very funny about your plant. I love vines, so that’s super cute to me. Also, beautiful floor!

  10. I am at risk with an already known enlarged aorta. Another way to see if you’re at risk is to take your thumb and forefinger and circle the other wrist. If your thumb overlaps to the first knuckle, you’re at risk.

  12. That’s the 3rd pothos that I’ve seen in as many days – but the other 2 were being carried by people walking on thie sidewalk, nowhere near nurseries, which was weird.

    My thumb extends to the edge of my hand, but not beyond. I dunno what that’s supposed to mean. I already suspect that I have mild EDS, based on my flexibility.

  13. We have great library sales here at the public libraries. $2 or less in the call on the books. Excellent sales, and books! Florida have beautiful libraries, good donations for books, and lots of authors live here including Stephen King.
