I know. The book Gilbert gets out if this will be on anything and everything Oprah owns.

You need to read this note to see where our cynicism is coming from.

You mean the episode of this American Life featured the real Elizabeth Gilbert and her first ex or was it just someone like her?

That would be the second best advice. The best being don’t be in a position to be asked to plead guilty to a Marijuana DUI. Speeding in a school zone because you’re high? WTH!?! You just dropped your kid off and can be high almost all day before needing to pick them up, so light up at home.

My thoughts exactly. I read this and went, “Poor Rayya”.

I’m going to be cynical and say that it’s likely that a big part of her realization about the nature of her love is exactly that Rayya will soon be gone.

True. I tutored 4 hours a day for about a year and started waking up every morning with a cough and hoarseness like I was a chain smoker. People like you amaze me because I’d just go mute.

I know what you mean. If his reply had been to say this weird woman needs to sit down and stop mentioning him, lots of people would act as though he was being rude by being human.

Well known? Really?

Did he turn himself in because he’d been forced to be a mule? It’s the only explanation I can think of.

Thanks, I bookmarked that page.

Yes! I think there are more stories to tell and more characters to use to tell them, to be gotten out of the books than by having one actor play Bond every 2 or 3 years.

If you weren’t quicker to criticize than to read you would have noticed that in my sentence the word “lead” is a noun and not a verb, therefore, it isn’t in any tense, past or otherwise.

I agree. I don’t get the need to have the same actor play this more than a few times. It seems like a very demanding job, you have to be athletic, good looking and be a good actor and that has lead to uneven performances from one movie to the other for all the Bonds so far, Craig included.

Hey! What about the other 7,5 billion of us?

Glass half full:Since your mistakes won’t matter in the great scheme of things, why not be fearless and live as you want to?

Eh, I think the race thing is mostly a problem because Fleming made a point of describing Bond and his backstory in his novels. Even having a blond like Craig or whatever Moore had got people grumbling.

Compared to the company she keeps.

Excellent point.

I agree. It seems to me that if this is going to be your brand the ethical aspect should apply at both ends of your transaction. If your ethical option is so overpriced that very few people could afford it, one could even say that you’re confirming the notion that ethical options are unrealistic and making ordinary…
