[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, I got the same vibe.
I just took a phone call from someone who accused me of being rude when I told her that we need a lead time of three months in order to consider a book for review, and that thus we wouldn't be able to review her children's book that just came out from a press I'd never heard of (that Google indicates may be a scam anyway), despite the fact that she had just had "benign cancer" and had been unable to promote the book ahead of time. I know it was a ridiculous thing for her to say, but dammit, I don't like being called rude when I was, in fact, very polite to her! Grr.

The inspection today has to go well if only because it is one step closer to getting away from my upstairs neighbors.

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.

I find that, very often, people who are being unreasonable (or rude themselves) will call anyone who blocks them rude.
And three months? that's reasonable ... if you're dealing with a publisher who has an actual staff. If she has to send out review copies herself (no publicist? no agent? no mail clerk at the publisher?), then I'd question whether the book would be available from anyone except the author.
