This is a poster note for an abusive relationship, with her as the victim. Did no one in her life tell her good people don't treat their girlfriends this way? I know she had to be the one to make up her mind to go (in a happier world in which she wasn't murdered), but was there no one in her life offering her a…

This site is AMAZING!!!!

Computers. They changed the way I thought about writing (making rewrites easier); they changed the way I could do research for my writing (the Internet); they make it possible for me to communicate with fans and to establish a presence on online sites (Goodreads, review sites, Facebook. Tumblr) that introduce me to…

This deal stinks to high heaven. A judge who's a colonel goes easy on a plaintiff who's a general. Like that never happens.

How much do you think *your* family's safety would be worth if they were threatened by a U.S. Special Forces killing machine?

Lifestyle? Child molestation is a LIFESTYLE?

How many of the abandoned babies are girls?

But where's the Octopus head? It's no fun if it doesn't have a head.

Agreed.

I think it's swell these people will "deal" with their kids' measles. Will they also deal with their kids' astigmatism if that is one of the effects of their kids' bouts with measles? No, not all kids are astigmatic after a bout of measles, but I was, and the stigma of being a kid wearing glasses as I grew up made…

I haven't had any complaints, and 28 books later, you'd think I'd've heard.

Why don't you go to B&N and take a look at the muscular construction portion of Gray's Anatomy? You may notice that the chest musculature goes around and behind breasts—not under the mammary glands themselves. There are no muscles in those. When you chaps do the exercises, you're building out on those muscles—you…

And those facts come from what sources?

That's because some of us like our fantasy somewhat believable. Armor doesn't work if there isn't enough of it to keep you from even glancing blows.

Give me a break! Cite me your sources for "science has verified," Mr. Not-Female!

Obviously you don't have big tits.

I lurvs her. She is beautyful.

I've actually seen way more of these than I expected (okay, some under duress), and some of them (Buckaroo Banzai, Big Trouble in Little China) are among my favorite movies ever. I will never get back the part of my life spent on three viewings of Plan Nine (film class, new friend, new boyfriend), though.

I am 60, and I will never "take back" words like slut, bitch, whore, ho, etc. As long as there are people who reclaim them and use them publicly, those who use them as slurs will happily use them. Moreover, there are too many women, girls, church ladies, mothers, fathers, and even writers, particularly fashion…
