Carry and use your own pen. Don't let anyone else use it. And definitely don't use counter pens. Along with constant hand washing and not touching your face, this can help. I see so many people pop those communal pens in their mouths. Or the sneeze into their hands then pick up the pen. They're stealth germ carriers…

The Maze Runner series, Matched series and Mortal Instruments series. You can also try the Soulless series by Gail Carriger. It's not YA but not inappropriate for her. Added bonus strong, smart heroine. And it's very funny.

Grits are hominy corn. Polenta is usually yellow corn ground to a finer consistency. Grits are made runnier. Otherwise, pretty much the exact same thing.

Disney solo is awesome. No bargaing about what to do/see. Ride Space Mountain tweny times in a row. (There are also single rider lines that allow you to cut your wait time.) No side-eye about what you're eating. "Why, yes, I will have another deep fried churro." And no whining when your other party members start to…

What about putting a two way mirror in front of the camera? Then you can see yourself and be looking into the camera.

Ooooh. Mary Stewart is great. I just re-read My Brother Michael and Moonspinners (such a crappy Haley Mills movie but a great book).

I call it tragedy porn. Another writer who falls in this genre is Jodi Picoult. Then on the non-fiction side of it you have Dave Pelzer, who wrote the Boy Called It series. Also included are almost every book recommended by Oprah.

I had the same thought. I imagine his (Rice's) reasoning is that it's all her fault. If she hadn't made him hit her none of this would have happened. And now she's stuck in a house with him and all his resentment. Ugh. So not good.

Don't stop two steps into a store; know what coffee you want before getting to the counter; have your $/credit card/whatever ready before, again, getting to the counter; use a fucking blinker; how about some headlights when it's raining; don't carry a 3' wide purse in a 2' aisle; no one, not even the person you're…

Generally, a burn more than 3" square is considered pretty bad. After icing use an aloe based cream or gel, if you have it. Aloe helps tremendously. A burn spray/lotion with aloe and lidocaine is a blessing beyond words. Aloe helps heal and lido numbs. Do wrap it in non-stick sterile bandages, if you use lotion and…

Forget the video. As a teen I was in the delivery room when my mom had my youngest sib. I was the back up coach (my dad had to travel a lot for work) and since Dad wasn't coaching to her standards I was tagged in. Talk about being fucking scared straight. No sex for me without at least two forms of bc being used. And…

Glitter is the herpes of the craft world. It just keeps popping up after you've thought it was gone.

This was thirty years ago. Before Walmart was known to be evil incarnate.

When Sam's Club first came to our town many, many years ago, my dad came home with a coffee table sized box of pads and an end table sized box of tampons. Both of which were tied to the roof of the car, the trunk and backseat were filled with tp and paper towels.

Try Samhain Publishing. They sell e and paper books. All genres, all more on the erotica side. If you want a good mainstream series try the Tairen Soul books by C.L. Wilson. Sooooo good. High fantasy, fey and evil mages.

Weeping and drooling are both better than oozing.

I read this when I was ten. It amazed me that a girl could be the smart one and be the hero. And she dosen't need to be rescued over and over. I've since read it so many times now that I couldn't even guess at a number.

I was really nervous about a tv series. They always ruin it. Look at the Harry Dresden show from a few years ago. Ugh. But, if you haven't tried it yet, get the audio books for these. They are awesome.

Love that series. Lord Maccon is so yum.

My usual go-to is a match, but I couldn't find any. And I don't know that using it would have been wise. There was a lot of methane, like chemical plant leak amounts. I could have blown the side of my house out.
