Book ,'Objects In Space'
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.
So, I'm reading a mystery book that takes places in Olden Tymes New York, and includes several families where the fathers are Chinese and the mothers are Irish -- from the time when Chinese women were not allowed to immigrate
Oh, I totally know what book you're reading, though I can't remember the author's name, and all the books start with "Mystery on..." which is not very specific.
But anyway. Have you read the rest of the series? What do you think of them?
Yeah, it's the Gaslight series. I think I've read one other and found them engaging enough. And it does feel like you're getting a real sense of people's lives back then.
Jesse, re: Chinese/Irish perhaps enough to justify this shirt? But I doubt it. My kids, btw, have these shirts.
Heh. My coworker was commenting this morning how people here aren't wearing green, and I said, I guess we're not Irish... She was like, Well, I'm not, for sure! She's Japanese. I should show her that shirt.
Victoria Thompson. That's her name.
Oh, it's actually "Murder in..." or on, and the author is Victoria Thompson.
Putting the poll together was pretty easy.
I thought of another poll topic: kerfuffles!
Like, "cilantro, yes or no?" or "serial comma, yes or no?"
What else?
Olives, yes or no.
It doesn't have to be olives yes or no because the answer is clearly NO.
Bacon? Swiss Cheese?
It doesn't have to be olives yes or no because the answer is clearly NO.
High-fives Kat.
weirdos.
The Scola and I are RIGHT. The rest of you olive people Just Don't Get It (The it being how olives are the devil's smelly toes).
