When I did a spoiler review of the book for my third-grade neighbor, he insisted loudly that humans didn't have to do that anymore and wouldn't accept that people would lower themselves to such animal behavior. And, yes, he's married with kids now.

I grew up on a farm and in fourth grade, I got "the book" in a brown paper wrapper to take home to read with my parents. They're busy people and I loved reading... learning that what the ram did with the ewes was a mammalian constant was eye opening. Prior to that, I assumed the kissing thing too.

Clearly, none of you had mothers who canned their own pickles from their own gardens. Filled the house with the smell of hot vinegar. I cannot eat them to this day. Nor cukes. You should know that pickling cucumbers are generally a different variety from salad cukes.

I was convinced I was missing part of the show when commercials came on TV. In a way, I still think that.

My wife makes up words all the time. Me: "That's not a word." Her: "I used it in a sentence." We got word that our kid argued this point with her teacher. I refer to doing things all at once as doing it "in one swell foop." My kid was so angry with me later. How could I lie to her this way?

Narcissus (daffodils, snow drops) play a critical role in my current WIP. They are used to produce galantamine, an Alzheimer's drug that increases acetylcholine in the brain, enhancing neural connections for the formation of memories. It's also been employed in lucid-dreaming research. Nice photo.

Is his name Ariel by any chance? Disney might have a retelling they may want to consider.

I complement you on logic. Let's hope he can invert a few stormtroopers after a bit.

I live in Oregon. If you alter your plans because of rain here, you might never leave your house. Glad you got some.

"whether sex, sailors or mounted policemen" Today, those are all the same genre. Also, apparently, Hammet wasn't an Oxford company fan.
