I read a lot of non-fiction, but I’m in the mood for a story.
I like fantasy/sci-fi if it’s not too campy.
The last thing I really enjoyed was American Gods.
I liked the GOT series but I’m not sure I can handle that much detail or violence right now. Also, I need something shorter.
I couldn’t get into Outlander.
I tried rereading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series but it felt too dated and like I’d grown past it.
What should I read? Anyone?
maybe try Norse Mythology by Gaiman?2 -

Do it Cakey.....do it, do it....and while you're at it post for us, pretty please!!
btw, I know you don't watch TV but the "do it, do it" is from the 12 Monkeys TV show...its the "crazy girl" who sees the future (and maybe the the past, don't remember)...her saying it in the show is so intense, I hear it in my head when I try to passive aggressively "peer pressure people to do what I want them to"!
And now Hank is getting Vikkasplained 😆
Lololol!!
Vikkasplained is a whole nother can of worms...I'll try to not take it there, too much, 'cause I love you all!
I have my own language, 'cause why not!?
And for the record, I missed all the Hank stuff...over my head, don't get it at all, was MIA perhaps!
She's "Cakey" or, "cake-hole" to me (my loving nicknames for her awesomeness)
I love cake-hole 😌1 -

Curse of the Gods by Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington.
I think Book 1 is called Trickery.1 -

Anger not handled properly can cause trauma, but disinterest kills communication. Communication is one of the key ingredients to a successful relationship. I don’t always have to agree with others but knowing how I’m affecting one’s emotions is important to me. Especially when something I said or did sparks a particular emotional response in the other person. If that person was being apathetic towards me it would eventually make the relationship die. Growth can’t happen if the other person is indifferent.
I think you summed it up perfectly. I would always prefer someone to tell me how they feel rather than becoming distant, because I think silence can be misinterpreted and lead to the disintegration of relationships. But so many people are afraid of being accepting of their emotions and speaking their mind in case they are rebuffed or called weak.1 -

Sorry you're in pain Meg, does there appear to be maybe a bite, have you maybe brushed up against a plant?
No, nothing is there at all, and bot touched anything out of the ordinary. One of the kids I was working with today though, seemed fine at the beginning of our session, by the end he was bright red in the cheeks and had a very high fever. I’m not sure if it’s related. It almost feels like the beginning of shingles, I’ve had them twice but I can’t see shingles being on my calf. And it hurts on both sides of my calf too.
please get the vaccine Meg - esp if you've had before! i hope this alleviates soon - if not - get help - good lucklaprimaJenny wrote: »CoffeeAndContour wrote: »slimgirljo15 wrote: »CoffeeAndContour wrote: »I don’t know what’s wrong but the skin on my leg is hurting really badly and nothing is there.

I hope that it’s simply a coincidence, but please get yourself vaccinated. Get well soon, Meg.
Hi Ladies! And welcome back @ninap118 it’s nice to see your pretty face again! I didn’t know that there was a shingles vaccine until today. I went to the clinic this morning and the doctor is treating me for shingles, given my history. I asked about the vaccine but he said it’s really uncommon for people to get shingles at my age and said I should talk to my family doctor about that. He’s also scheduled me for a bunch of tests to see if there is an underlying issue that has it coming back.4 -

Oh dang! It didn't go away 😕 I knew there was a vaccine for it but I think they give it to those in their 50s/60s because thats the age at which shingles is the greatest risk of getting it but being you've had such a history of it at a young age hopefully they'll consider it!1 -

What should I read? Anyone?
Sandman - Neil Gaiman.
It’s graphic novel but it’s really well written, dark and mature.2 -

While you’re worried about getting woken up, this little girl wasn’t lucky enough to have had the opportunity to wake up at all. She was taken from this life too early because of an evil act done by her very own father.
What if that was your child, or someone you knew. What would you do then? I am sure if you recieved an alert in your favour you would not be complaining so selfishly.
Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
The whole thing is heart breaking. I went to sleep and the amber alert had been cancelled. I felt happy that she was found. Never ever would I have imagine she was killed.
And then right after I read she was gone, I read about people calling into 911 to complain about having their sleep disturbed. I was appalled. You’re right, what if it was their kids? And while they lay their head down on their pillow tonight and every night after, a mother will lay her head on hers and think about how she’ll never see her daughter again. You can wake me up anytime, any day, because every child deserves a chance to live. I say we take all those a-holes and put them in the middle of the ocean and them get all the rest they can.2 -

Too violent? I would say no. I was 7 when it came out and I remember watching it on VHS lol but I watched it later in life and really realize how good of a movie it was. So he probably won't grasp a whole lot.0
