Oh, they knew about the programs....that was why they were collecting the $$$ from the state (it's not socialism when RWer's collect money from the government) to help deal with their kids...that they had already given away.

I don't know, sitting around smirking and staring and having to deliver poorly written lines is hard to pull off well, no matter how good an actor is. The fact that the writers can't clean up Jame's "masterpiece" is the real reason that Grey comes off as wooden.

My guess is Hunman wouldn't do it at this point, seeing what a pain making the movie seems to be.

I read this my hubby and his comment was "Why? In case he needs another kidney?" Damnit, it made me laugh.

I wonder if some of this comes from the advice given from companies that provide products to straighten your hair. If you use a keratin product it stays in your hair for awhile. You are warned strongly to not allow to let it get wet with ocean water and are advised to use sulfate free shampoos.

My high school didn't have this rule back in the 80's. Because one of the cool guys decided to have a "guys only, the prom is stupid" party most of the girls went 2 girls with one guy (the not as popular guys who had half a brain) to the prom.

I also run a 10 min mile pace for a half and I've been passed by a guy carrying a sign with a pace on it (a local running club does this, the sign shows the finishing time to expect if you keep up with the pacer) who encouraged me to keep up with him and his group. He was easily in his mid 70's, carrying a sign and…

3rd place? Wow.

My guess is the lady saw the different price and assumed the root beer float was a better root beer. Especially if her friends talk about not liking root beer that much but a root beer float is good on occasion.

I see your point. I don't like what he did but I think when you're still young and inexperienced/stupid you don't always have the experiences necessary to have a little more empathy. Things are more black and white. If I could redo some things in my late teens and early twenties I would.

It's hard to like this. He might have been hurt by not knowing the truth but he didn't need to lash out at you. I'm glad you are up front now, but fuck anyone for judging you harshly for not being open all the time.

There are more gratuitous tears in Spark's books. Every single one of them. Maybe that makes them easier to take seriously....... LOL.

I know. I respect the plastic surgeons that say "No". A friend of mine wanted lipo on her "fat" knees. She was teensy, very fit, size 2, gymnast body build.

If I were to guess it might involve embarrassing nude or seminude photos. and/or the pledges being verbally shamed in a sexual way. Because it's funny to idiots.

No, if a book is enjoyable to read and is romance, fantasy, sci fi or horror, it's obviously not "serious". And the fact that you (and I) admit to liking it means that we aren't either.

"Formulaic". LOL. Nicholas Sparks anyone? And yet his books still manage to get reviewed.

Not when they are fighting against birth control, they're not. And not when these people do not want young pregnant women to have healthcare.

Shush now ladies... Don't you know it's all about small government? Why do you insist on making social issues political? /sarcasm off.

Smirk is the word that irritated the hell out of me. He smirks at everything. When he's angry or sarcastic, fine, when he is supposed to be compassionate...not so much.

I know some erotica writers. Even though they HATE 5o Shades , they have noticed an uptick in sales. So I guess that's another good thing.
