Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Afternoon. My boss has been out all afternoon, so I'm all caught up.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Jilli, many Evangelicals believe that Halloween is the Devil's holiday. It was a big deal in Charlotte -- half the kids on our street stopped trick-or-treating between one year and the next because of it.

Whack. A. Loons.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also,

Who can write a novel without raffles?!?

Who can write a church novel without raffles? (You can tell I live in the Land of the Lutherans.)

If I only had a brain...

The thing that really frosts me is that the most bigoted Christians are being allowed to set the standards for everybody else.

"The Friendly Persuasion" isn't a Christian book by these standards.

Really? It seems to me that they are only being allowed to set the standards for people who want to write Christian romance novels that can be sold in CBA bookstores.

Is this publishing house dominating the romance publishing world?

Wow. Johnnie Cochran died. (I found this out by clicking Tommyrot's M & Ms link, btw.)

Right. Which is the primary location in which Christian romance novels are sold.

Yup. Those guidelines I published are from Harlequin's Christian line. I've seen the guidelines for the other Christian lines, and they're similar.

Aaaand of course now that I'm all caught up, I'm bored.

I have nothing to add to the Christian Romance discussion.

Trust my rage

Thanks to all for the tick/Lyme information. I found a tick attached to me (almost in my bellybutton) yesterday, but since I spend so much time rubbing my belly, I'm positive it wasn't there for more than an hour or so.

I'll still ask about it when I see the midwife (I know it's not her area but I figure she can give me advice), but based on what I just read, I should be fine.

Wow. Johnnie Cochran died. (I found this out by clicking Tommyrot's M & Ms link, btw.)

Me too. Seems weird.

Also, I am so relieved to see some other people expressing the "Would she just die already" sentiment (although way more tectfully than I just did) regarding the Schiavo debacle. I was starting to wonder if I was the only cold-hearted Bitch around here.
