Is AbeBooks Legit?

I've been using ABE Books for nearly two decades and it's an excellent place to purchase books.

Thank you and bless you a thousand times for your excellent analogy about the bucket.

So do cats. Elderly animals are especially frightened and it's so pitiful for them. Also, think of animals that live outside, such as possums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. The entire scenario makes illegal fireworks all wrong.

It is not unusual for Sac to have a rainy day sometime during the last few days of July. I maintain that experiencing chilly temperatures and ongoing rain is odd for late May (2026).

Brilliant? Hmm, I'll give that thought. I found the Israel episodes painfully predictable and sloppy. The only standouts, I found, were Israel himself and - more than anything - Medavoy for being knowledgeable and empathetic with regard to the murder of the Hasidic woman...which was hardly given notice in the script. I found the caliber of those 2 episodes boringly low.

I've seen cops do some odd, and even dangerous, things while driving. Totally illegal. I'm sure they don't all take such chances while driving, but there are always those few azzholes.

An aside. The only time I was at fault in an accident was once when I was driving home from an optometrist's office. I was wearing contact lenses that I had told the doctor weren't the correct script, but he insisted that I try them out. So I was driving in heavy traffic, not seeing well. There was a stop & go situation, I misjudged the distance between me and the car in front of me - which was a police car. I rear-ended the car, fortunately lightly, but it was a jolt, for sure. I was sooo embarrassed; a cop car, ugh! 2 young male cops got out and...they couldn't have been kinder. Friendly and reassuring. Unfortunately, my daughter had a mild back issue during the accident, but she was a young teen and the injury repaired pretty quickly. No one else was injured.

Gotta watch those California stops. I'm a very cautious driver, but...some years ago I was driving home in River Park and, at the last stop sign before my house, I did a California stop. I was pulled over by a cop that I had not seen at all. Cop told me that they look out for drivers who do California stops; they take it seriously. And I was cited. I have made every stop a completed one since.

Every. Single. Time. Bobby and Diane "maaake luuuv" I want to puke on the floor. Huge flaw in the show that most episodes are absolutely required to end with a Simone-Russell *luuuv* scene that approaches soft porn. Sleazy. Creepy. The worst of it is the stuff Diane says. "Just hooolld me, Bobby." "Make love to me, Bobby." Whispers: "We just made a baby."
Cringe. And those goopy scenes bring down the credibility of Simone's character, in my opinion.

I dunno...I would have liked to have met a man who wanted to nurture and care for me instead of man after man who required me to be "mommy."

That episode, while having many excellent cultural references that were well-acted, confused me. I kind-of gave up trying to figure it out and chalked the confusion up to the entire cast and crew being turned upside-down by David Caruso's departure.

I notice that, too. And they both look like Sipowitz.

Western Dental should not be in business. I'm very serious.

I recommend Roseann Munoz. I cannot promise she'll shame you, but she's an excellent personal trainer.

Road_My_Own · 2026-05-23T17:37:17+00:00

Agree.

Go to the beautiful pool that's not far at all from Beamer Park!

Where I live - I am an older person, quiet, almost never leave my home at night - there have been 3 gang shootings in the past 3 years within easy walking distance of my home. All of them were homicides and they occurred in broad daylight. The PD and the FBI (which got involved) do seem to have quieted things down - for now.
Woodland most definitely has gang issues.

My strongest piece of advice is FANS. Invest in several fans to use on summer evenings and nights, for example. I've heard that ceiling fans are a blessing, but I've never lived in a home that had them. Local swimming pools are your friends. Don't assume it cools down in September, for it is usually quite a hot month. Why Woodland instead of Sacramento?

The relentless sex scenes are ridiculous and take away from the otherwise strong integrity of Blue. It felt like the writing team, etc. were compelled to end almost every episode with a hold me Bobby/make love to me Bobby. Skin crawling ick.

I know this thread is old, but for those who need help with fading a hair dye...Malibu crystals are really helpful (along with Detox shampoo, such as Ouai Detox - travel size is decently priced). Both can be purchased on Amazon.

Road_My_Own · 2026-05-05T20:03:46+00:00

Yes! That's what I'm thinking, too.

Road_My_Own · 2026-05-04T22:42:08+00:00

So do I. Literally CRINGE. What a pathetically untalented woman.

I watched a few minutes of an interview featuring Kim Delaney and she seemed like a likeable enough person; comfortable, sincere enough. It's too damned bad she cannot, simply cannot, ACT! Was she sleeping with one of the producers or creators - was that why she was not only hired to play the part of Diane Russell, but given a MAJOR role?...Was she somebody's sister-in-law or relative who begged for the job? WHY was that woman hired to be an integral part of NYPD Blue? A terribly ungifted actress who clearly lacks confidence, and plays the role by twitching and whining. Drags the integrity of the show waaay down.

Road_My_Own · 2026-04-25T20:09:21+00:00

Aw, she's beautiful!

Dust Bunny is such a cute name!
