Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What Aurelia Said. Tell the truth; it will be a refreshing change for the reader. (Not that you usually lie, but that many memoirists are at pains to put their best, possibly imaginarily best, shoes forward.)

Nah. I'm okay with admitting my crappy qualities, mostly. In this, I have to talk about my positive qualities a tiny bit, and I have so little experience with that.

I'm also still smarting from the anonymous answers in my LJ, which were helpful and honest, but...

I don't even know what happens after the but...

This really doesn't belong in Minearverse. It has nothing to do with crafts and soaps.

If I only had a brain...

I unilaterally renamed it Allysonverse when you sold the book. It's all about you now.

An easy trap to fall into is believing your bad reviews more than you believe your good reviews. Don't do it. The anonymous stuff in your blog wasn't, by and large, helpful: it was all "you think you're so special, but you're not."

Monique will treat it right. Good for her, taking it on.

Aw, thanks! I hope to do it justice. Or at least, not end up with him hating me.

It has nothing to do with crafts and soaps.

But does it have to do with gay cowboys? Cause isn't this the gaycowboy thread too?

speaking of which, has anyone downloaded the Willie Nelson recording of "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)"?

It ate my browser a few seconds in , but that's because I have a crappy work-stagnant browser. But I thought it might be of interest...

Same figures now. And I voted for and everything. I guess this means I have no impact at all. sigh...
