You know what movie was pretty good? "The Sweet Hereafter." I don't remember the entire plot, but it's about a school bus accident and how it affects the people in the town. One of the teen girls is supposed to testify against the bus driver, but her father has been sexually abusing her, so she lies at the deposition…

I'm totally bawling about your kitty and Ferdinand's spaniel. *Sniff*

That's exactly what my landlord did. Our old shower wall finally rotted (it was that crappy cardboard tile, and there's no ventilation fan or anything), so the landlord decided to put in a new one. Turns out he just caulked over the existing mold/dirt (didn't clean it, didn't remove the old caulk, etc.) and put in…

I play the clarinet, but I love the oboe, so I won't even pretend to be offended. My music teacher said if you don't pass out while trying to play the oboe, you're not doing it right!

+1 from a fellow clarinet woman! :)

Not everyone. I tried to watch one of the Star Wars movies, and I thought it was the most boring thing I'd ever seen.

I don't think it's stupid to pull tobacco, but it's disingenuous. They're not doing it because they care; they're doing it because they will get something out of it.

You don't need an ISBN for an e-book. Why would you need a distributor when you can distribute a book yourself?

You don't need an ISBN to publish on Smashwords or Kindle. Is there a benefit to having one if you're only selling e-books and not print copies?

Now I feel cheated. The best hospital story my mom ever told me was just the one where the enema bag leaked into the electrical components of the patient's bed. The bed caught fire and they had to evacuate the floor.

Thank you for being a reasonable person. My family would not have survived if my dad hadn't been able to hunt for venison and fowl when I was a kid.
