Big Hugs to you :(

I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you and thank God (or the Big Shoe) for your family!

Me too. out of the 9-10 people I know, 7 of them have died from complications directly related to the Bypass procedure. I don't believe there were any Lap-Bands in the mix. Sad, really.

This is the first thing I thought!! Good job!!

No I haven't but I'll definitely look! I can't even think of a book that is similar to that one it's so unique.....Any suggestions?

That story Sux. I am so sorry that happened to you guys. When will it end???

I am a Nurse and a Pet Parent. As much as they want you to believe the world will end if you miss a clinical, just make sure to be there when it's time for the *make up* dates. This lesson is just ass important as some of the stuff you are learning in Nursing School. Work will always be there. Never put life on hold…

I just downloaded the Kindle and Nook previews of Marisha Pessl's books The Night Film and Special Topics in Calamity Physics. I can't wait to dig into these!!!

Beautiful Ruins was a surprise hit for me! I bought it accidentally on my nook and then figured it was meant to be...And boy was it! I loved it!!!

Two thumbs up for The Blind Assassin!!! It's not typical Attwood so I think it can get lost in the shuffle......I hope you enjoy!

you HAD to wear a sexy outfit? You HAD to dress up as a queen of hearts? Nope.

Maybe it just take the right *Whiney Bitch* to get the point across that NO means NO. Some women can be mighty persuasive believe it or not.

I loved Blue Crush too!!! Michelle Rodriguez??? Surfer chick movie??? i have it on DVD and watch it when it's cold outside!

Thank You both for the kind words :-)

As a nurse, some days just going to work sucks. I got caught up in the day to day grind and forget why I ever chose this profession. Then I see what I do through other peoples eyes. Thank You CHaD for letting me see why I choose to do what I do.

It is problematic when you feel the need to qualify the things you enjoy as being *black activities* or * black music*. That is a sure sign you are co-opting something and not enjoying it organically.

You lost me at " there's no way this girl's a racist".

Yes, calling Africa a country is a common enough error. That is sad.

O000000 Girl!!! You need to check yourself!!! WTF?????

It took him 10 years to get out of the brine that made his bones so soft. Whatever it was it worked. he killed it!
