and my bmi is nearly okay, too

hey, I've lost 44 pounds over the last couple of years. Only another 15 or so to go. Okay, 20-25 if I wanna be svelte. I've never been svelte, except for about six months when I biked constantly and did crew. Maybe I should try for it again.

    Congrats. That is so great. My fat is stagnated. Sounds gross, huh?

    Great! Only, forget about BMI. It's an imperfect measure which fails miserably for a number of body types. Ultimately, all that really matters is how you feel (and, to a lesser degree, how you look).

    megan--Yeah, that certain age for me was once I started having kids and eating the peanut-butter and jelly crusts.

    CD--your fat is ummmm, what? Can you like stir it up or something?

    Doug--but bmi sounds so scientific. Acronyms! Measurements! Yay!

    Congrats, Kate. Maybe that makes up for the historical you have to perform open book surgery on?

    BTW, I set up a gmail account due to issues with my "real" email, and this conflicted with my blogger ID, so until I figure out how to merge them I show up as "Charlene" instead of "Charlene Teglia" so you know who the hell is commenting. Sorry about that.

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.   ...

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,...
