I love my family

My boys, my husband.
I love them a whole lot, every last XY of them, and wouldn't trade them for a gazillion trillion dollars.

squirrelly but lucky despite that,
Kate

    I love this post! I always want to write that kind of stuff, too, but my frequently-confused MIL reads the blog (not the Spouse, he never looks at it, even though he knows about it), and she'd misconstrue something and ask him about it.

    So I'm glad you posted this.

    Why, precisely, does he object to this? (Perhaps he wanted you to say a googol dollars?)

    nah, he doesn't get the point of blogs. Not sure I do either, but I love blogs anyway.

    I love her right back, but I still think blogging is goofy.

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep.

I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...

what I'm talking about above--the letter in RWR

I've cut out bits here and there but the gist is there. I don't want to cut too much because she's a good writer (other than the actual thinking/tolerance part) and it's bad idea to ignore that fact. . . . romance isn't about just any "two people" celebrating "love in its many forms." Organizations such as the Man-Boy Love Association would certainly refer to themselves as celebrating love "two people" (or more) finding love in one of its many forms" . . . while they actively promote pedophilia. Think RWA can't go down that slipper slope? Think again. Under our present definition, we cannot exclude such "love stories" under the category of "romance". We, as a culture, seem to have forgotten how to say "enough is enough," but RWA can--indeed, must--do better than that. . . . And, please, spare us the arguments about "censorship" and "inclusiveness." Preference for "one man,...
