The bit where Lars goes out onto the porch and sees all the flowers and cards that people have left for Bianca... I cry every damn time. The care and affection the community shows him is so moving.

It's about him being in love with a sex doll, but really the story is more about how his problems affect his family and community and how they all come together to help him get better. I really enjoyed it.

I guess my response is that if it's a healthy fetus that has gotten to an age where it can reasonably survive (and be healthy) outside the womb without heroic measures, then I can't support abortion. That sure as hell is not at 20 weeks or whatever these whackos come up with, although I don't know when exactly that…

Not in Oregon. You can't pump your own here.

DO NOT WANT ANYTHING ASYMMETRICAL OR WITH CUTOUTS OR FRINGE. If I see one more goddamn cold shoulder top...

When the inevitable "we have to charge more for plus sizes because they use more material and we need different patterns and wah making things is hard" comes up, I always wonder how eshakti manages to charge the same price for a 0 as they do a 36.

Sigh. I don't want anything bold or kicky or cropped or satin or sequins. I just want shit I can wear to work that isn't too boring or old ladyish that doesn't cost me a zillion dollars or take two weeks to come from India. :/

I think I've become a sort of godless parent. I was raised Methodist, as was my husband, and we were married in the Methodist church; I attended a Southern Baptist church (sigh) for a brief time and the last church I attended was a tiny little Episcopal church that was truly a lovely place. The Episcopal church…

It put itself on the internet, I had nothing to do with it!

I used to live in the deep south and I know what you mean about the folks who go out for "Sunday dinner" after church and then comment about WHAT A SHAME IT IS THAT PEOPLE WORK ON THE LORD'S DAY.

Nope, sorry, if you leave a picture of Jesus instead of a tip, your religion is fair game.

I started my PhD 4 years ago and the second term, they put a hold on my registration because I hadn't given them documentation that my shots were up to date. I brought in my vax record and they told me I needed a MMR booster and I got one. A few years prior to that, when starting my masters program, they told me I…

Tetanus is horrendous. *twitch*

cut her loose. life is too short to deal with people who are nothing but bullshit.

better that than autism, these morons think

BUT MAH FREEDUMBS

My daughter's shots have always been covered under my insurance, but I remember when I got my shots that my parents' insurance didn't cover immunizations, so we got all our shots at the county health department. IDK if they were free or low cost or what.

I can't understand not getting vaccines. I just don't it. Especially fucking TETANUS. That's a nasty way to die.

There is no way he finishes this series before he dies.

I am rapidly losing interest. Actually, I lost a lot of interest somewhere in book 4, which was completely lame, and didn't manage to make it through book 5. He really needs an editor to tighten this shit up because it feels like it just rambles on and on and on and on and on... and I could not possibly care less…
