Take me, Nigerian prince, take me hard!

Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Happy Valentines Day!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sounds like that was spammed to hundreds of people.
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.

Oh em gee! It is, like, totally Bitchy to not fall for a scam by someone making a play for sympathy by using a fake disease. t /Valley Girl voice

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.

Yeah, it is generally a red flag when we hear from the author him/herself, rather than the publisher or a hired publicist. And further research shows that her publisher is indeed a "subsidy press" (basically a self-publishing outfit), and we don't review self-published titles anyway. Which people generally understand, even if they're not happy to hear it. *shrugs* She concluded by saying, "Well, it sounds like you're not interested in my book. I don't think I'm interested in your newspaper anymore either." Um, was that supposed to make me sorry I said no to you? Because that really wasn't the way it worked.
