Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

The most dramatic family injury was when my sister got hit in the

head with a pickaxe, wielded by my brother.

It was an accident. They were with my cousins, who said it would be ok for them to use the axe to clear out some old chicken coop from the empty lot next to my grandmother's house. My mom and grandmother had gone out shopping, so were not home when it happened. To sum up, my mother is fond of saying, "You know it's bad when they greet you at the door, saying, 'Now, Nancy, she's going to be ok....'"

Geez, Aims. I'm glad you finally got some help for that cyst. I can't imagine how badly that must have hurt.

“Not dead yet!”

Moving away from the ER stories, I need to come up with a topic for my Romancing the Blog column tomorrow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When Mary Sue-ing works and when it doesn't.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm afraid that wouldn't work so well. Too many of the readers lurrrrrrrrve Twilight and don't get how that's a prime example of Mary Sue-ism at its... worst? finest? I'm not sure, actually.

Changes in power distribution between the hero and heroine?

Traditional: Millionaire/Earl/Doctor vs. Secretary/Governess/Nurse

More recently: Mega-Heiress/Duchess/High-level magician vs. Average wealth/Lower Aristocracy/Computer programmer

I'm still not seeing a lot of Duchesses romancing their friend's children's math tutors, but there do seem to be more books with less dramatic Prince/Cinderella power distributions these days.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Turns out, it was an ovarian cyst about the size of a cantaloupe that had hemorrhaged and twisted around my f-tube. I got surgery for that one.

I cannot imagine how you managed not to try to do surgery on yourself. My ruptured ovarian cyst is the standard by which I measure all pain, working under theory that 11 is a ruptured ovarian cyst.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Even without an internal frame of reference for the body parts that makes me cringe.

My worst pain was a grapefruit sized cyst, and your non-embellished statement makes it seem to be a 9...
