lunch incident

~warning, not for the easily grossed~

Mmmm, salad out at a restaurant! Crunch crunch....pituoee--hey what's that weird bone-like thing?
First thought: Omigod, is that....that a tooth?
Second thought: How gross! I sure hope it's not someone else's tooth in MY salad.
Third thought: Wait, maybe I actually do hope it's someone else's tooth in my salad.
Fourth thought: Please let it be someone else's tooth in my salad.

It wasn't. Hey, at least it doesn't hurt.

    Oh darn! I hate when that happens. I broke a tooth not long ago. You're lucky it doesn't hurt - the nerve was exposed on mine and I RAN to the dentist's office! LOL! Thank goodness he was able to take me on short notice.
    I hope you got it fixed! Our dentist has some sort of glue cement stuff - amazing.

    I'll be willing to bet, when you go to get that fixed, the dentist will ask all serious how it happened and you'll say "It fell out when I was eating a salad." and he'll give you a look that says You liar.

    It happened to me. He then said, "I'm used to this happening with toffees, not lettuce." and I thought, what - you see a size sixteen and think I'm some salad dodger?? And then I punched him.

    nah, not really, but wanted to.

    Not only did my dentist not snicker at my salad story, he slapped that tooth chunk right back in place. Probably won't take but worth a try, he said cheerfully.

    And I owe you a HUGE THANK YOU Sam! It wouldn't have occurred to me to take along the tooth chunk if you hadn't mentioned the cement. I might be spared a crown etc if this holds.

    Dang. Salad? Nothing is safe. At least you have the part. I swallowed mine thinking it was some ornery food.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to ...

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. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. 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.   ...
