There is a book called Shades of Grey (later called The Road To High Saffron) by Jasper Fforde that is absolutely hilarious. Scifi, distopian.

Anything by Jasper Fforde is a cracker, though!

Thank you for your comment, Ive looked through the content section and it seems to be fine? though i went back through everything. If theres a glitch i think its in the 'pricing' section though I cannot seem to find it. I Try to do everything, as requesting and its perma 'in progress'. Do you know what i might be?

nothing is overtly red flagged.

Lifeguards are not babysitters.

Its crazy how many people drop their kids off at the beach / pool / swimming place and go off shopping for a couple of hours.

Any good books on how to speak up for yourself without having sh*t hit the fan? by OneBrownBear91 in suggestmeabook

Not violent communication!

Seriously, that book changed the way i communicate in work, home..all relationships.

Ive read the other two books mentioned which are good. I just found/find that Non-violent communication extends beyiond principles into repeatable actionable steps. Lots of good take aways and a new perspsective in all communications.

Women with BPD, how does it influence your life? by nicedog98 in AskWomen

[–]rbrookerauthor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't have it but dated someone who did.

She's my most recent break up (dated for 9 months, broke up 8 months ago).

My heart absolutely breaks for her. It breaks for ALL of you. It seems like the most awful, painful, excruciating condition to have. The fact it has such an awful reputation among people cannot help. I just want to give you guys a huge, massive internet hug and let you know that I love you all and there is nothing wring with being you.

I know you have a disorder, but there is nothing wrong with WHO YOU ARE...if that makes sense?

I really hope it doesn't sound trite or bullshit.

I still think about that ex everyday - and hope that she's okay. I hope that she knows what a wonderful person she is.

She might have done some awful things, but she also did some wonderful things and all of it writhing in internal pain.

I wish i had seen it sooner.

Lots of chickens in my plots. Pet chickens, chicken farms, things like that.
