if you see this sign I just put up in the bathroom? It's not directed at you unless you also miss the toilet when you pee. I'm done with that one, entirely.

If you live with teenaged males and have found a way to solve these issues without death or destruction, let me know.


These rules are to be followed or you will be required to shower/bathe/brush teeth at the gym at least there someone is paid to clean up after you

1. Dry off most of your body INSIDE THE TUB. Have the towel within reach when you shower. Dry off, mostly, THEN STEP OUT. The mat is there to mostly keep your feet from freezing, not act as a towel. If the mat does end up wet, hang it on the tub so it’ll dry out


2. When finished with your towel don’t just hang it up, spread it out on its own bar.

3. When you brush your teeth and spit, you will notice --HOLY CRAP!--there is gunk in the sink from your spitting. Every single time you spit. There will be stuff in the sink. EVERY SINGLE TIME. . FROM NOW ON , YOU WILL TAKE A SECOND TO RINSE OFF THIS GUNK. It’s easier to do while it’s still fresh and I’ve had enough of scrubbing off other people’s dried up gunk.


4. Pee in the goddamn toilet. Penalties for this one will be that you guys will be responsible for cleaning all the bathrooms.

Other bathroom rules and regulations will be added as I think of them.

    The first place I ever worked had a similar sign in the bathroom. Was boggled: growing up in predominantly female family, bathroom cleanliness was never a problem. Jeeze, the first time I had to clean the bathroom, it was a revelation how filthy it could get in a week.

    About an hour after I put it up, I found my sign had been edited. . . Not vulgarly but still, little bassets have no breeding, no respect for authority. Someone ought to have taken them in hand way back when. Too late now, I guess.

    I said to myself just this week "I know for a fact I have never spit in a perfectly clean sink unless someone else was paid to clean it." No one else in my house, or the house I grew up in, ever cleaned their own toothpaste spit. It frustrates me to no end.

    My word verification is :hymen

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.
