I vaguely remember being forced to read it at some point in grade school. I cannot keep it separate in my head from The Dark Is Rising, which we also read, although they had us do that stupid thing where you break the kids up into groups, each group reads a randomly assigned chapter, and then each group reports on…

I didn’t like it, sadly. I wish I had, but it’s kind of messy structurally and some of the CGI isn’t all that great (which is only made more obvious by some of the really awesome CGI it does have). Some of the dialogue is really bad, like so bad I found myself rewriting it in my head as I watched to try to fix some of…

That is good advice. I will try to find contact information. Thank you!

I’ve been searching for this modcloth dress for years and I finally found it in a BST group and it fits me and it’s amazing

I enjoyed it. It’s a little too light on some of the details from the book, a lot was left out, but I still enjoyed it quite a lot.

My 4th grade teacher read it aloud to the class. I was a voracious reader and had no patience for listening to someone read to me. Yet I loved the story so much and looked forward to the time when we put our things away and listened to Mrs. Kissane. I wonder where she is now and hope she is just as psyched about the…

It’s been a less than stellar couple of months but finally something fabulous coming up... my puppy’s 4th Birthday is this week! I took for her an extra special spa bath experience today. I know she doesn’t know any different, but it makes me happy to make a big deal about it. She’s consistently been the brightest…

Seconding the request to post SNS earlier. Once again too late for me, and I’m off to bed. Have a great evening, everyone- I look forward to skimming through the comments in the morning!

There will almost certainly be a historical drama made about this period in time, so I thought it might be fun to fantasy cast it. I don’t have the whole thing fleshed out, but so far I have (and I’m open to better options): Shia LaBeouf as Jared, Michael Emerson (Ben from Lost) as Eric, Dylan Baker (J. Edgar Hoover…

Her story utterly breaks my heart. She wanted comparatively little. She wanted to be loved, and she wanted to sing. And as soon as there was money to be had, everyone around her, from her treacherous dad who spun her story into reality TV cache for himself, to that bastard of a BF/husband/divorcee who introduced Amy…

Rosemary’s Filter. “His eyes! What have you done to his eyes?!” “It’s a Snapchat filter, and his father is Satan.”

Thank you! My nephew’s wife did the eye thing on a pic of their new baby. I haven’t seen the baby in person yet and it freaked me the fuck out. Before I realized it was a filter I was wondering what was wrong with her eyes.

I think Snapchat is actually genetically Kardashian, iirc. It’s all in the family.

Why no picture - or even link to - Pippi, the only story of interest in this dirtbag?

This is really interesting, thank you for sharing!

I’m sad I haven’t seen you around much, and I’m sorry to hear it’s been health related.

The thing that always bugs me about taxes is that I, being single, can never be head of household. Who the fuck is the head of my household. Or is my household some nebulous, leaderless thing. Either let single people be the head of our households or eliminate the title altogether.

Sweetie, that’s every guy ever on every dating site. Except for the one on Plenty of Fish who thought he was being clever and sent me “Talk Nerdy To Me.” He thought he was going to get some Star Wars or Marvel. No I gave him like a half page break down on how I agreed with this one literary article about how Thomas…

I hear you and I’m sorry. I’m a 45 year old woman and I date men in their 20's. You might want to consider dating younger guys. Maybe not in their 20's like I do, but you know. I have noticed that a lot of guys in their 20's and early 30's really like older women. The whole experience thing. It works for me. It’s a…

That weird pout coupled with those braids make her look like a standard blow up doll who just got back from her first cruise to Jamaica.
