I love the respectability politics bullshit. These kids use bad words, they were rude to adults at that CNN event, they didn’t bow and scrape to a US Senator... for shame. Yes, yes I’m sure if they were polite, quiet and obsequious you’d totally listen to their message!

I’m here if you ever want to talk. They way you talked to your brother about seatbelts was how i talked to mine about drinking and driving. FOR YEARS. He was a Vet and he def had some PTSD and he liked to go have beer after work at a bar. I struggle with a lot of anger too because it feels unnecessary, he made bad…

My brother died at age 30 last year in a wreck. It’s been almost a whole year and I still wait to hear his voice. I’ve noticed all my family have found different ways to grieve. My mom started a charity in his name and spends a lot of time with his friends. My sister loves looking at pictures and watching videos of…

And then they turn 18 and magically are old enough to own a gun. So up until 18: stupid, easily brainwashed, disrespectful children. 18th birthday happens and voila: rational adults fully capable, nay entitled, to own any and all firearms.

But I love dirtbag. I don’t click on kardashian and royal articles but I like reading random celebrity gossip every now and then.

Hegemony and macabre were those words for me. I got lucky in that someone else (maybe it was you?) mispronounced inchoate and I got to learn that one from their example.

He’s JP from grandmas boy.

Absolutely. I remember thinking “who the hell is this dude, he is sex on a stick” and being so disappointed when I saw him in anything outside of that show. Natalie Dormer was the real breakout star for me of the Tudors and I have yet to see her in something and not find her mesmerizing.

I cannot wait for Hugh’s book. I was always a big fan of Hugh. I’d read Roland books... except it’d be hard to know how it ended already. Or would they be Roland going forward? Like Roland meets his match? But Julie and Derek I for sure want to know more.

Come back and tell me what you think! All the reviews online either love or hate him. He’s kinda polarizing.

Have you read Eloisa James’ latest? Wilde in Love? I was really really underwhelmed. But I too have been on a rereading kick of those very two. I can read Duke of Sin over and over, I just love Valentine. And I forgot how much I liked the Raven Prince.

Me! We can talk about Ilona Andrews all day. I didn’t know they’re winding down Kate Daniels. It’s probably for the best. The two of them will create other worlds and characters I can’t wait to spend time in. I heard they sold the tv rights to Kate daniels and I fantasize about a really well made showtime series.

And they’re becoming formulaic. Lothaire was so good because that book felt new and fresh. Also I loved Lothaire as a hero and if he clicks your buttons give Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt a try. Valentine Napier has that same delicious crazy, unrepentant, sexy villain vibe that I love so much and with Lothaire.…

Yup same. I could not with that series for pretty much the same reasons.

Ilona Andrews needs to be on this list somewhere. I recently got a friend hooked who before “didn’t really do romance”. I love Kate Daniels but honestly I’d read anything they wrote and really enjoyed the Edge and their newest Wildfire series. Such great world building, kickass heroines, richly developed supporting…

She’s allergic to coat sleeves is the best reason I can come up with. She NEVER wears coats as coats, always as capes. I have googled it, is it a new trend, does she have freakishly strong upper arms and they don’t fit? No good answers, so I’ve decided she’s allergic to sleeves.

I’m so glad to hear of your success, thank you for sharing! My reproductive endocrinologist also thinks i have a thin/insufficient uterine lining. Do you mind telling me what sort of intervention worked for you? 200mg of progesterone didn’t cut the mustard this last round but oddly my period was super light. She…

Congratulations! I’m pretty sure it’s not anxiety but somethings up. I love my new reproductive endocrinologist. She’s got plans and ideas and is doing tests to confirm or deny theories. I finally feel like somebody’s on this.

That is going to be good for your kids. I’m obvs a woman and since 20 or so I have had an intense curiosity about my birth mother. Who is she? What does she look like? My sister is my parent’s biological child and I see... I see how she is like them. She chews her nails like my dad, tosses her hair like my mom. Who am…

Well I appreciate any insight. Did you do an open adoption? How much contact do you have? I ask this as not only a prospective parent but as an adoptive kid. Back in the 80's the trend was: CLOSED. And mine was private so I know a bit but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious. What is your arrangement like? Also,…
