lmao the random bit about the roommate in the witness protection program

Schilling fired her after six months because she hated answering the phone.

oof at the story about her trapping him though. like i'm glad danny seems to be a good dad and all but 😬

Let me tell you, the Danny parts of the book are so fucking funny because the most random shit and trivia happens. He's certainly led a life.

The sad thing about the "trapping" is Danny never mentions it, makes a solid effort to be settled and she breaks his heart for Michael Jackson 😭 I would be pissed lmao

If you are interested, here's two of Lisa Marie and Danny's musical collaborations:

Sinking In is about Lisa and Danny's tumultuous relationship, they co-wrote together and he plays on it. MJ fans swear it's about MJ but it's about fucking Danny.

Better Beware is another co-write that Danny plays on.

The little bubble world I live in can hardly imagine most of this!
Riley looks like the perfect combo of her dad and mom.
Once again, thank you so much op for putting all of this together for us! ♥

Of course, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it!

I keep reading these with my mouth open and going OMG

As I was reading, I was thinking this is probably going to be an A24 miniseries eventually lol. And this was just 85% done, imagine if she had finished.

• Lisa loved being a mom and wanted another child, a boy. Priscilla gave her advice on having a boy, telling Lisa to have sex right before her ovulation so the boy sperm gets there first because boy sperm was quicker but died faster [note: my mom said this is called the Shettles Method idk]. Lisa and Danny ended up having sex three times a day in that ovulation window and stopping before the girl sperm could escape.

people used to believe this?

Apparently, they think it’s 90% effective. 🤷🏾‍♀️
