Sorry for the slow response. It's been a hectic week. I would love to join your get together! I would even love to provide a massive $8 donut to share.

I'm coming out of lurkdom to celebrate your arrival in Round Rock, mic0! I've lived in North Austin for the past four years, and I love it here. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as my family has. You should check out Round Rock Donuts for the biggest donut you'll ever find, but when you want one that ...

That's so cool, Humble Master! I just graduated with my degree in American Studies from BYU last year. Can I ask where you did your PhD program and what you studied as an undergrad?

Oh man, I needed a spoiler alert, Yarjka.

Levin and Kitty do end up together?! I'm only a couple hundred pages into it, but Anna Karenina certainly does make one think about topics such as this, no?

I'm bowing out as well. Sorry for fueling the fire with my three posts in this thread.

I have a jumble of thoughts to add to the discussion. I feel like you’re putting words in my mouth a little bit, Vorpal. You seem to suggest that I have no basis for self-identifying as a feminist beyond a book I once read, but I never said that. I did, however, say that a chapter in a book influenc...

Vorpal, I must disagree with you. Perhaps it’s because I am a female, but Doyle’s vision of how the world ought to be doesn’t sound that great to my ears and it sure doesn’t line up with my interpretation of the Proclamation on Families. Here is what Doyle says to Jim: “It’s not that she couldn’t be...

Thanks Waldorf and Sauron for helping me use my $5 Amazon on demand credit wisely. I actually read in depth about that episode of "Father Knows Best" for a Cold War history class I took at BYU, but I hadn't had an opportunity to watch it until now. Though it's not a complete substitute for...

Yesterday I had a romantic gesture go awry. Or at least it didn't go off as planned. I came here for sympathy. While the hubby was at work, I had to make a grocery store run. When I passed the Oreo aisle I thought, "J would probably be really happy if I bought some cookies for him." So I d...

I couldn't agree with you more, Tao. I commented to my husband while we were watching that if it took her that long to find a book in the library she'd never make it as a Board writer.

In regards to post #58717, does anyone else think the reader might be looking for Ray Bradbury's 1950 novel The Martian Chronicles ? I must admit that I am not much of a sci-fi fan so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only book in that genre I have read which talks about "wa...

What search terms were you using when you found that one, Sam? Kidding, kidding.

My sister speaks and reads Mandarin. I could definitely give her information to you if you like.

Did you get to listen to Dr. George's forum a couple Tuesdays back? He addressed government regulation of marriage briefly.

Yep. All of mine went to McCain. What a surprise. Or not.

I have an eye patch to wear today, but I couldn't stand the weird looks on campus. So...I'll just wear it in the privacy of my own apartment. Also, I need some tips on how to talk like a pirate. Mostly it's just "yo ho" and "matey." I'm looking to branch out a bit. http://www.mia...

My laughing fits or the parties, because that could apply equally to either of them. Your laughing fits. I actually have no idea as to what goes on at the parties.... It kinda makes me nervous about actually attending one. nothing spooky we play games and talk and have fun Don't believe her. Goober...

I'll bring something! I do better with direct orders though. Tell me something specific, and it is done.

Boy, am I glad that Hobbes isn't on the retirement list. Sad am I about The Cleaning Lady though. I salute her for her good work as a writer.

I think it's a band of ninjas, right? Or a ring? I don't know, that last idea kind of sounds more like a circus.
