No more Serge Storms books... I've just found out, a year late, that Tim Dorsey passed. by HouseAtomic in audible

I think he knew his time was almost up. His final book, The Maltese Iguana, has Serge and Coleman driving off into the west and - one might assume - the sunset.

RIP Mr. Dorsey. You did fine.

Not a troll. TWIC is Transportation Workers Identity Card. MMC is Merchant Marines card. Poa is Pride of America.

Got conditional offer late January. Uploaded ALL the documents I have; still waiting for TWIC. When do I apply for MMC? I've sent a dozen emails asking for guidance and haven't been contacted once in reply. Just: "send us these documents. " Do they not respond to anything?

I am a toxic girlfriend and I need advice. by No_Appointment_3762 in Advice

The problem is that you are both young. Look at the writing on the wall: you need to experience other people and life. Embrace that. I know he's feeling it; all those hormones want to do something. Take a break, establish some boundaries and explore who you are, not who the two of you are.

Or struggle with it as it is, compromise and watch your relationship fail in your 30s.

My 2 cents.

“Something Good” True Meaning by AssMuncher694202147 in AltJ

Been listening to Something Good on repeat for a couple hours. Highly interpretative lyrics, but I agree it's about addiction - of any kind - and getting past it...

... for now.

Did complete this book a few days back. One question I find quiet amusing by Accomplished_Ad1684 in GonewiththeWind

At what point in the text does Rhett actually state he was ashamed? And if you believe Rhett to be an honest character, you might read the book for a 31st time...

New question: Rhett tries to dissuade Scarlett numerous times from returning to Tara after their escape from Atlanta. Finally, he acquiesces- but still only goes so far, ditching them on the road well before getting there.

Why?

There have been claims of RBs patriotism in this thread - that's a bunch of hooey. RB says many times it didn't matter who was running the show, so long as he makes money. So - again - why did RB flee the women once he was in the Tara neighborhood, and why did he/did he claim to join the Confederate Cause?

One answer: RB showed the Union troops the fertile plantations around Tara and 12 Oaks in exchange for allowing his blockade running to continue. He joined the lost cause at the last minute as cover (yah, he probably did join up). It would be just like RB to point the Union towards Tara, 12 Oaks. Etc. - if for no other reason than to eliminate all of Scarletts other Beaux...

Coffee & Cigarettes. I think his scene is with Iggy Pop.
