Hey, Dee what was that before about not being able to have a good time knowing that Mal was home?)--Anybody else getting "Flowers in the Attic" flashbacks? My kids are locked up but I'm sure as hell having a great time! Anyway, this would've sucked more for me than missing the parade. Depends on what we were shopping for but I would've rather went shopping than go to a parade.

They want to put out new flyers for Christmas--Which they will bitch about if business picks up for them.

And tbh I don't even know why they're putting names down on the flyers to start with. It's not like the clients could say "Yeah, I want Stacey to babysit for my kid."

I loved the snark, love your snarking style. I'm honestly hoping one day you can get to Mary Anne and the Zoo Mystery. That book is just so damn off the wall. You'll either be banging your head against the desk after reading it or tears will stream down your face from laughing so hard.

Thank you so much!

Holy shit, I never put the Flowers in the Attic comparison together like that. Ma Pike is a bit like Corrine that way. I'm waiting for the two other Lifetime movies to come out, pissed they are not doing Garden of Shadows, that was an awesome book. Pissed on how the way Petals came out, I was screaming 'Betrayal' so much the first twenty minutes of the movie, my husband had to tell me to calm down.

I dunno if I have Mary Anne and the Zoo Mystery, I have to check, I'm almost afraid to look....

I admit I thought the first remake movie was better than I expected. Petals was rather eh-ish. I really wish a network would do a better job keeping the movies with the books. Looking at the subject I guess we'll have to wait for HBO, Showtime or some network like that to do a miniseries. These books just have too much crammed into them, it's impossible to cram them into a 2 hour time slot.

Awesome snark! I can't wait to see you do more! :)

And I can totally see why Mal didn't want to be an honorary member on a practical level, but I just can't get past the part of how fucking stupid it is to have her as an honorary member when she can't do anything! I feel like it's a trick to keep her brainwashed into being free labor for them and return to sitting ASAP, lest she discover she had do without any non-sibling childern to wtch and likes being free of the BSCult.

bleeding_thorn2 November 15 2014, 23:45:41 UTC

Hopefully it will be soon, and the other stuff as well. I love snarking and Thank you for the awesome comments.

I hope Mallory cut loose when she got sent away.

I love your snarks! That was awesome. Thanks especially for posting this one. I just had a tooth out and it was a "complicated extraction" which is apparently dentist-speak for HOLY FUCK YOU CUT MY GUM OPEN YOU BASTARD THAT HURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER!. *ahem* Anyway, so I feel fairly miserable and reading the rest of this snark cheered me up and even made me LOL a few times.

Poor Mal. I like to think she blossomed at Riverbend, dyed her hair purple, got into the kink lifestyle (just because why not? We love redheads around here!) and gained confidence in herself and her writing. And that whenever she was back in Stoneybrook, she snubbed the BSCult and when she became an adult, she snubbed her asshole family too and went on to have an awesome life.

lisaerin November 15 2014, 04:07:21 UTC

What kind of kink?

bleeding_thorn2 November 15 2014, 23:51:35 UTC

I've had my teeth out and HOLY GODDAMN DID THAT HURT! They had to talk the two teeth in pieces and it hurt even with novicane. They had to get shooting me with it. I was so fucking high when they finished, I couldn't even find my way out. The assholes let me go by myself, and I had to go back because I forgot my stuff. My poor husband had to try and decipher what I was saying and I was fucking giggling at my feet for like an hour at home.

Mal I think became like April Macy, that comic who hosted AVN and has a killer rack. One could hope. Or a badass witch like Willow on Buffy. Who the hell knows?

Thank you for the comments and I hope you feel better. It makes a cynical chick smile when you tell her reading her cynical rambles makes you feel better, I tell you!

4. Finish making carnival booths on Monday.

They need to start tossing those into the Spy-er/Schafer barn and store them between their frequent uses.

supposedly the promises bullshit has raised one hundred and forty two dollars and fifty three cents

The three cents cracks me up. Who offered that strange amount?

Mal tries to throw herself on her sword by saying the rest of the brood could go and they can get a sitter for her. [snips] Anyway, Mal is pissed Thanksgiving is ruined and for all the bullshit that the monkeys put her through, you would think this would really make them pissed off, but no.

Mal was right. The rest should have gone. Yeah, it would have sucked for her, but it's going to suck more than the other kids are going to blame her.

WHO THE HELL LEAVES THIER KIDS WITHOUT FOOD WHEN THEY ARE GOING ON A TRIP AND THERE'S A SNOWSTORM PREDICTED? Friends of the same people who thought an 11-year-old is mature enough to be in charge of a younger kid and toddler all weekend, and to allow said-younger-kid to sail a ( ... )

Before my Grandma had strokes, she loved Danielle Steel. I know those books are at their core romance novels, but a lot of them are pretty well written. Nora Roberts isn't bad, or Jude Devuraux, I had no idea JD Robb and Nora were one and the same lol.

I would have loved the Miss Piggy Puzzle one lady got....

anabellabobella November 20 2014, 03:44:29 UTC

Daniel Steele and NR/JDR write fun romance books. I don't mind them, and have read more than my fair share. :)

JD Robb was the name Nora used to try writing steamer romances. A lot of famous writers use pen names for that stuff, just in case it doesn't sell well, so that the failures aren't tied to them. And if they succeed, then it doesn't matter. :)

When Anne Rice first had the Sleeping Beauty trilogy published, she used the name A.N. Rocquelaire. Years passed before anyone realized she wrote them.

bleeding_thorn2 November 20 2014, 19:27:11 UTC

It's like Sophie Kinsella using that pen name for the Shopolioc series. She writes under Madeliene Wickham for other things.

BULLSHIT, I SAY! DID WE ENTER THE LAND OF LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, WHERE HOUSEWIVES VACUUM IN HEELS?

On holidays, we always got dressed up, even to cook. Again, part of making the day special. :) I once wore black velvet. Always new outfits. There really weren't other chances to dress up, so that was Turkey Day and Giftmas. Three kinds of turkey (grilled, fried, and roasted), a dozen or more sides, at least eight kids of pie, at least three kinds of cookies... We broke out the china and crystal, sometimes did up menus, which was pointless, and more. So fun! Music was classical, and then Christmas after dinner, and all we watched was the parade ("watched," since it was background noise), and the football game. Dinner was usually at about 2 or 3, partly because there was so much food we just grazed the rest of the night, but also because a lot of us had other relatives to go visit really quick too. Since my mom's mom's side was a clusterfuck, it made sense to actually eat before going over there.

It's decided that Mal ( ... )
