I don't write YA, but I read and write Romance for exactly that reason: the happy ending.

In Memphis, we have a fair sized pagan community and the local schools are not the friendliest to our kids. There has been much planning and discussion of actually doing an umbrella school, and applying for vouchers.

Even more subtle is Tubal in Merchant of Venice. He fills Shylock's ears with poison, telling him lies and making sure he knows his anguish is ALL Antonio's fault. Yet, Tubal is a very minor character, with no stated motives or characterization. Shylock already hates Antonio, for very valid reasons. Tubal is the one…

I first read that in "What to Expect when you're expecting."

Agreed. On days when I need directions, I need them for work or errands and I need them at once. I have to be places at a set time and have neither gas nor money for getting lost. (I had to find my way to a bank I don't often use today)

Definitely time for the rocking chair on the porch of the Old Spacers' Home.

I have four and refer to them as "My flock of Evil Geniuses." The fact they aer all tall and blonde and blue eyes does not help.

Actually, I am looking for full time work, but not a career, which is why I'm reading this. I'm trying to figure out why I can't even get a cashier job at Kroger.

What if there is nothing that distinguishes you from any other candidate, that is acceptable to put on your resume?

My children are not figurative. I have two daughters who are out of the closet as well. So yes, these beliefs, and his financial and visible support of NOM are a DIRECT threat to my children.

It's not a boycott if you weren't going in the first place.

It is not intolerant to say "I do not give my hard-earned witch-dyke dollars to someone who will give them to an organization directly dedicated to harming me." I do not give to Christian charities. I do not eat Chik-Fil-A. And I won't be seeing this film in theaters.

I spent a decade pregnant or nursing. My labors were short, only one pregnancy was truly dreadful, and generally we had it very easy on the physical front. Sure a milk let-down soaking my pads, bra, and shirt in a store because of a crying baby on a TV (they were running Prince of Thieves) was embarrassing. It happens.

It essentially means modernized fantasy. In really good urban fantasy, the city itself becomes a character. New York, in Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, for example. Or parts of St. Louis in Anita Blake.

Julian May, Barbara Hambly, AC Crispen, Joanna Russ, Diane Duane, Cherie Priest, Selina Rosen, TW Fendley (very new, very small press), Kimberly Richardson, Sara Harvey, Syd McGinley and KZ Snow.

Some of us are working in the small press until NY manages to shake out this whole e-book/internet thing and get more tech savvy. Maybe in 10 more years.

I'd rather be a lion because they sleep 90% of the day. They laze in the sun and in the shade, get up, and are active in the best part of the day: early evening, and then drowse the night away.

There’s even the potential for social detachment...inability to relate to “normal” people.

Of course, of course. My poor silly ladybrain wasn't thinking... Must be all the lesbian sex form the Dianic rituals.

Why are there MEN in the Temple of Diana?A male shadow so much as crosses an altar to Herself and we have to spend MONTHS purifying it.
