Hear!!!! Hear!!!!!! Let's hear it for the mums!!!! I want to complain about this recognition. It is long overdue.
Then you get someone like me who'll go to the store, browse for a while (gotta check the books first), pick up the stuff I didn't need to buy and forget the stuff I do need.

I am incensed to report that there are no women within the realm of my daily life to give my money to. I give my money to a fellow named David, who insists that money is not an object, and spends it as though it sprouts from trees; a defoliation of the most disturbing kind. My ire with such a thing is reflected in my writing where I have never--and never will--name a character David!!! Hail now to mothers and women who have the good sense to treat money as an object of scarcity and value, and understand the worth of scraping off the expiration dates on milk products.

The problem is 0% fat. Tried 1% a while back and a howl was issued forth. My oldest is a beanpole who scarfs Lucky Charms or Frosted Flakes and all that sugar can't hide the fact the fat is less than expected.
I never put milk on my cereal.
George wrote: "... a defoliation of the most disturbing kind."
David defoliated you? Bad, bad David. How much does he charge? You might be able to rent him out to recover some of the money he squandered. Just put me down in your account as a possible client.

At 0% or 1 % you might as well get some water, put a drop of real milk with blue food coloring in it and drink that. Even 2% must have chocolate to make it palatable. I will never give up my whole(some) milk! Even better if I can find Jersey milk .... yum.
George wrote: "I give my money to a fellow named David, who insists that money is not an object, and spends it as though it sprouts from trees;"Funny (I mean how annoying), I used to be with a David like that. Davids tend to have my number (figuratively speaking), they're dangerous. Deforestation unnecessary, lost hair all by myself.

Great angst with the telling of it, I am bare of pocket from his insistence that he "...got it on sale!" O, Lucas, I dream of another...client to be picked, bare as Durer's Adam.
George wrote: "O, Lucas, I dream of another...client to be picked, bare as Durer's Adam."
Okay if I'm not good enough for this client list of yours maybe I can still help you out by sending some referrals from the guys at the gym.
Of course compared to our height, deep chests, supremely muscled and ripped bodies and big...er, bones. Durer's Adam was a bit of a sissy boy with that long hair, shaved pubes and feminine stance. Besides his do dangle is so small it can be completely eclipsed by a few tiny leaves.
Those tiny shoulders and shallow, underdeveloped muscleless chest is almost as sad as his complete lack of any biceps so he hardy looks strong enough to hold that pomaceous fruit he can hardly lift.
I cannot imagine why you would want to view such a pitiful specimen let alone pick it bare.
Oh well, to each his own, however inadequate, idea of masculinity.

No, no. (Please rescue me from the careless reader!) Only BARE as Duere's Adam...
One for the 'can't believe I did that' scrapbook. After alerting you lot to the tweetaway, I got distracted during the order process and never dl'd the book. Don't care about Masters but it's the closest I'd ever get to anyone called Boyd. :'(
Oh gosh, I am chagrined that I must retract my previous complaint. The lovely Swedish tweetaway queen of DSP promised she'd put Boyd (and Masters) in my box. Oh boy-o-boyd!

Having just received my doctorate at NYU I don't think of myself as a careless reader.
I know what you said George but since you failed to take me up on my offer of going on your client list and you wrote you "dream of another...client" what's the point of responding to what you actually meant when I can say whatever amuses me? Good luck getting other offers for your client list and have fun with this other client you are dreaming about.
Sweet dreams!
Hugs, Lucas

I wish to bitterly complain that either l'm getting stoopider or everyone else is getting cleverer because l just can't understand half the complaints or conversations in here any more.
George wrote: My ire with such a thing is reflected in my writing where I have never--and never will--name a character David!!! "
After saying you never named a character David, wouldn't it be a kick in the donkeybutt if some member noticed that in your book Continuum the protagonists partner is named David?
I cannot call you disingenuous because the rules say no member may criticize another so I'm just warning you that writing: "Please rescue me from the careless reader!" comes awful close to criticizing a fellow member.
Ah, but Macky is the Moderator now so enforcing rules are in her domain not mine. I remain just your simple Dumb Jock.
Love and kisses—Lucas

I know you haven't been a member of the Complaint Department long enough to read all 3,500 messages in Post Complaints here and the thousands in other topics I so I certainly cheerfully excuse you for mistakingly saying "Since you keep mentioning it, are we allowed to know in what?""
I have never before this first time (message 3505) mentioned in a post on Goodreads that I "...just received my doctorate" I put doctorate in the search box for "search discussion posts" and then I went through the all the results to confirm I never said it before.
Previously I have not hidden the fact that that I was working on getting the degree but never said I received it because I only graduated this month.
The answer to the question "in what?" is Doctor of Physical Therapy which I have only mentioned here three times in the past so I understand it wasn't obvious. <-grin-> My interests are in Sports Therapy and prevention of sports injuries which isn't surprising for as dumb jock like me.
Once again welcome to the Complaint Department. Thanks for being such an active and friendly member. I have been enjoying your messages in the group's topics :-)
Hugs, Lucas

Mea culpa, I know you mentioned NYU, and that you were a candidate. As I don't stalk people (other than authors who owe me responses even if just to say what she thinks about an unmentionable 3rd party), I thought I missed the big announcement. Because it's something to be proud of, right?
I am so disgustingly proud of you Lucas! Congratulations! You must be elated to finally emerge from such a long journey triumphant. Now its on to the next goal... So it's Dr. Dumb Jock now? ; )*Hugs*

Hi Averin,
You would think so. However instead of doing graduations by colleges within the University, NYU did one mass graduation ceremony with 8,000 graduating students at Yankee Stadium where no degrees were handed out and names of graduates where not announced.
It seemed a little impersonal to me so I couldn't see the point in going. Besides I look terrible in a purple dress. Because it didn't seem like a worthy, proud celebration to me I skipped the formalities that turned out to be perfunctory and not formal after all. I will wait with all the other grads for the school to send me the actual paper degree in the mail and have a small private ceremony in the post office when I open it up just to check that my name is spelled correctly.
So NYU did their best not to have it a day to be 'proud' of but perfectly suited for getting lost in the Bronx and being in such a big crowd it would be impossible meet up with family and friends.
Averin — I love that name. Oops, I am repeating myself about that. <-grin->
More hugs, Lucas

Wow, I think that is worse than my tale. There was a graduation for the 250 or so graduates of the Cisco Academy, family did not want to go. Something like 3,000 students graduated from CyFair campus, 500 said they'd attend Commencement, my family did not want to go. There was a link provided to watch it live on some site I never heard of; it had a cap of 50 viewers, so thwarted again, this time at a major passive-agressive opportunity. Next year, if I graduate from Stairmaster U, I may not invite anyone.
Congratulations Doctor Lyons!

Woefully I note I have always been disgustingly proud of you! A mom and a wife and a creative mind with all sorts of fusion ideas to show your love for your family. You are bigger success that I could ever be but thanks for the congrats :-)
Heartiest Hugs (Is the hubby looking?) and Kisses!

Again, forgive me for assuming we were having some fun, here. "Continuum" is autobiographical. David is my partner, not a character created for the story. That said, I'm uncertain--and perhaps you'll enlighten me--how serious I should be when participating in the group. Or, are we still just joshing with one another. Words do have meaning, but the intent behind those words sometimes blur the meaning.
George wrote: "Lucas wrote: "George wrote: My ire with such a thing is reflected in my writing where I have never--and never will--name a character David!!! "
Opps! Sorry the blurb didn't say it was nonfiction and four of the five reviewers just call it a story not an autobiography so I regret jumping to conclusions. Though I did sign the message with hugs and kisses :-)
I am a Goodreads Librarian if you want me to add autobiographical to the blurb so others won't mistake it for fiction. Yes?
Okay then. More hugs and kisses, Lucas

Hi George,
My friend in England keeps telling me American's don't get irony but I think we are pretty good at it. Consider Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Mark Twain and others. Apparently they are very good at it but I suck.
I pouted "you failed to take me up on my offer of going on your client list" because how could you reject and cast me aside so effortlessly when I know I am so exceeding gorgeous that even Narcissus only has eyes for me.
Even though the entire world is in lust with me you "dream of another ...client..." so my self image is just popity poo and I feel so used.
And so in deep despair I wrote, "Good luck getting other offers for your client list and have fun with this other client you are dreaming about.
Sweet dreams!
Hugs, Lucas "
I am sorry I'm still just a dumb jock who cannot properly convey a joking reply to being rejected for this other client of your dreams. Forgive me for not making it clear that this was attempt humor as poor as it was.
Really George. You still prefer this dream client of yours to having the real thing, me, giving you succor and other dirty stuff?
Harumph! No more hugs for you! <-grin->

Thanks but I'm not a real doctor I just know about bones and joints and disks and muscles and ligaments and what's the other stuff they taught us? Oh yeah, connective tissue. And um, er, tendons. Yup I remember now lots of tendons. And bursa. Can't forget those. Oh never mind I can always just look at the chart.
Sorry about the frazzle Tj. Are the in-Laws gone yet? We gotta get congress to do some real work and outlaw in-laws.
Until then sweet Tj, love ya—Lucas

*giggle* My brother isn't an MD either but a doctorate is a doctorate! Yup in-laws are gone. Hoping I can avoid them until after vacation. Maybe by then I will feel more up to dealing with them;)
I second George in not always being sure if I'm floundering in sarcasm. That's okay, I'll just revert to paranoia.

I wish to lodge a very serious, whiny complaint about how many stinkin' pages I have to read in order to catch up on everything I missed while lazing away at the Indy 500 :-). Since I now also must get ready for my oldests' 10th birthday party on Saturday, I won't have time to read them all until after the party. I do want to grudgingly say congratulations to the newly graduated Dr. Dumb Jock, a.k.a Lucas not Luke, (the former) Oh Wise Leader.

Very happy graduation to you! I raise my cup of Earl Grey to you! I was just watching a TED talk about ritual, it was in health care, but still, ritual. Critical to human experience- to transformation. Ritual is the key! So if you were Navajo, we would have a ceremony for you, some sort of rebirth or coming up from the underworld, some journey to symbolize your current journey. Or if we were in the Amazon we might make you a mask, and you could put on the new PhD mask. In our current culture we might take you out for too many beers, or even a barbeque with too many hot dogs. Not quite enough ritual! I will keep thinking of something proper to the occasion. Hugs, Sarah

The three years in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program required going to school or working in the field as the practicum part of the program all year long with no breaks for summer vacations.
During the past three summers I worked as a PT in various medical settings from hospitals to institutions.
I think the ceremony I would like to have to mark my transition is to finally have a summer off. There won't be a lot of chances to do that in the future so if I don't do it now I may never experience this ceremony :-)
Besides I have to start reading soon if I'm going to get through the the 30 books you have authored.
So proud to have you as my GR friend. Hugs, Lucas

that's a good ritual, sort of culturally relevant as well, and ties into old traditions if there is any dipping of self into the ocean! Also known as going to the beach!
When my son was born I decided not to get him baptised, but I wanted some ritual to welcome him into the world. I was living on an island between Corsica and Sardegna at the time, so we waded out into the Med and I dipped his foot into the sea.
Not that many books still out there, I hope- I keep re-reading the old ones and thinking they aren't good enough and pulling them out of circulation. But the next one will be really really good.

Bowing in humility and appreciation for your kind words. Thank you Reverend Ijeoma~! Thank you Anil~! Thank you Kendra~!
Ije my love your work in matchmaking and marrying your Nigerian "brothers" to each other is a far more valuable service than I could ever hope to offer in treating PT patients. :-) Love heals better than medical science.
Anil, I hope you won't have to wait long to get that second Masters degree dear friend.
Kendra, how horrible you had to endure such a treat as the Indy 5oo!

Very very grouchy that I slept in and missed the spectacular party of mutual congratulations (to which I hasten to add my own appreciation of newly-minted as well as experienced experts in caring for others) and ambiguous snarky humour (no, not the Academy Awards), which moreover buried the one little morsel of actual interest to yours truly (but I am a right old truffle hound and found it, yum! The associated digits will feature prominently in an upcoming story, hunting for a title, maybe something with flocks and feathers...), anyway, off to chase a mythical beast or rather two, grumpy thanks for the link to Sarah's story.
Big not really grumpy (but rule1 says it should be) hugs and congrats to our lovely NOT so dumb jock Dr Lucas Lyons! Woot! GO LUCAS!!

Seriously, I spend at least 20% less grocery shopping alone and come home with more if my DH is not along. Clothes shopping? About 40% less. He is a speed shopper, does not read labels gets impatient with me when I do. That is why we came home with a bottle of 0% milk that I must throw away because it is 4 days expired and no will touch it even if it were not. He forgot that we didn't need milk and grabbed whatever and put it into the cart.
