I am terrified of snakes. I'm not so bad with other reptiles, but I'm not particularly fond of any of them. We went to St. John in the US Virgin Islands a few years ago, and there was this one hugely practical shortcut into town from our B&B that was just a little path through some trees. Iguanas were everywhere in the trees! We're talking ones that were about 2 feet long! I practically ran through there, imagining what it was going to feel like when one of those suckers ran across my head to get to the other side! And how quickly my heart would stop from the fright! But I made it, and the iguanas never so much as even looked at me. It still freaks me out to think about it though.

Sorry to hear that Emma. Is there any silver lining like getting to read while bed ridden?
Haha, true! Last time I was sick I finished about 4 books. Not to mention the excuse to go on GR and lots of ice cream for the sore throat! Ahh, that makes me feel better!
Sorry your sick Emma. Read a lot. Ben & Jerry's is really good when your sick & not sick.
Ahh, true dat, true dat! (Ack, my gansta is HORRIBLE)!
There is one good thing about this: getting sick now means I won't be sick for Halloween! So I can eat mars bars and read!
Mod
Yo, sista!
Haha, too true.Yo, I'm in the hiz house!
(I think it's worse).
Lori & Emma you are too funny!
I won't even try the gangsta since I's ol skool!

Mod
From da H to da E to da LL....Yeah!
Haha Lori! Good god, I scare myself. I have a cousin who ATTEMPTS to be gansta, but in reality it's just annoying. I'll have to show him my impression the next time I see him. You think he would give me money to stop???
Mod
Is your cousin one of those "wiggers"? I grew up with a bunch of them in NY.. funniest shit Ive ever seen! They were all like mini Vanilla Ice's.. haa haa
Haha, well, he's a very handsome, not skelton skinny, guy. (The dude is 13 and he's had a 16 year old girlfriend)! But it gets very very annoying, and he's not fooling anyone.
I am so sad... i just took my 8 month old golden to be fixed. He looked so innocent, he did not have a clue what was going to happen to him. Oh well, everyone says this calm him down a little. I pray they are right!
Awwwww, well, animals that are fixed live longer. That's something to be happy about!
It calmed down our little male kitten (he kept wanting to boff his older sister)! But it wasn't fun - I feel your pain, Ann.
I remember when my cat got fixed. It was horrible, she's an indoor cat, and her wide eyed innocence made me burst into tears. But, before she was peeing on everything and know she's fine. Yes, I'm sure your cat will feel better afterwards Ann!
Emma, I hope you feel better soon! By the way, I finished AGATB two days ago and I loved it. I can't wait to read the next two books in the series.
Thanks Beth, oh that's awesome! :D I'm so happy you liked them! Did the ending take you by surprise? I had no clue!
Oh, and what did you think of Kartik? He's definitely one of my books crushes. :)
I know this is really late but congrats on the promo Lori!(and the office and chair) :)
Mod
It must be a big load off of the shoulders to not have to supervise anymore(though that explains the super moderator skills!)I remember when I was no longer responsible as a supervisor,I felt like I lost 10 pounds,and all off my shoulders!
Is anyone finding that GRs is acting up on them today? I find that sometimes I go to hit on a particular thread or post a comment and it will bring up an error page.Weird!
Yeah....weird. I thought it was my computer.
Mod
Happening to me too! Don't they know we can't live w/o this site!!!!!!!!!!!
I need GR like I need air, and food and reading!
We are so addicted! I hate being away from it & since school started I am feeling withdrawl running my kids around.
Ann, good luck with that. Don't know if you read Marley Me (won't spoil it if not), but you might want to see that part of the book. Also, was it Doctor Doolittle with Eddie Murphy where they have the part about having the dog fixed? Poor pooch, but admit I had to smile at that scene.
I know the feeling...all our animals have been fixed and I always felt bad but it is better for the animals in the long run.
Kartik seems like a hottie to me! He definitely heated my reading up a bit!
Yeah, I was always surprised by the twists and turns. :)
I just picked him up from the dr. By the way, he is a 8 month old golden retriever puppy, who was "fixed" yesterday. He did really good. He has a cone on his head, and it is so funny! I will post a picture soon.No, I have not read MARLEY & ME yet, but I heard it is good, and a tear jearker. I had alot of friends say they could not believe we were getting him fixed and not breeding him. We paid a bunch for him and have papers. We did not get him for that purpose. We got him for a family pet. There are enough puppies in this world without adding more. I'm sorry, but that just disturbs me. He is not a money maker, he is a part of our family!!! I love my Sully!
I know! I love how Libba does the romance. And Gemma's dreams.
Random thought: I wonder if I could build a house with wall to wall bookshelves in all living spaces other than kitchen and bathrooms....
Why not the bathroom? Especially the bathroom! Forget the sink!
water damage from kids splashing in tub and steam from hot showers!
that just means you need to laminate your books. duh.
Haha Logan! True though. The bathroom is the perfect place for lots of books. (Except, of course, if you have kids, silly me)!
:) I have a magazine holder in the bathroom.
LOL! Sometimes, you need them! Okay, too much information.....
