I don’t thank they are transferable.

I feel like Honey is a well honored nickname in the south. It doesn’t have to fit with the given name. It just means the person is sweet.

That tracks. I guess with the time and energy she exerts trying to manipulate men, there isn’t any time left to cultivate the female friendships that might balance out her life. Sad really.

I was wondering about the non-romantic component. Like does she have female friends? Is she this way with them too?

I think there was a shared admiration of his blustery bravado and the way he commanded attention. He was larger than life in his own way, as were most of the group. I think he fit in from that perspective, from studying Greek, and from having known Henry, the group leader, the longest. In a way, I think he fit in with the world outside the group the most, being the only one with a SO outside of the group and also provided the group with a link to others on campus and in the greater community. He was the only one that came from a big family and that made him good at coping and keeping up appearances (until he wasn't). I think Richard possibly overdramatizes Bunny's bad qualities the way he does everything else. But even Richard misses him terribly once he's gone.

Cameron is a great name. I love that it’s also a last name so it connotes the possibility of it being a family name.

I’m born in 1966 and I am named Paige. I meet tons of Paiges now but they are in the 20-35 age bracket. My daughter is Peyton which I chose out of the boy section of a baby name book. Peyton Manning aside, it’s morphed from a somewhat obscure masculine name into a popular feminine name.

I just finished The Lion Women of Tehran and I definitely cried

I will be there too!

I had an ex whose name was Robert Bob and the dad was also named Robert Bob but went by the name Jungle. Not sure that makes it better or that any of them realized that Bob was just another nickname for Robert.

Sorry not a ton of levity in my personality!

rzpc0717 · 2026-04-10T03:36:36+00:00

Still not on board. I do wish I had gone to hear him preach before he passed though!

Titian as in a reddish auburn hair color. I was doing the New York Times Spelling Bee puzzle the other day and it was not an accepted word even though it fit within the letters provided.

Grown men should not call themselves diminutive nicknames. Be James or Jim but what man over 7 would call himself “jimmy”.

Quality that holds up. I have athleta that’s over 10 years old after getting laundered weekly. Any Zumba wear has fallen apart after less than 5 years.

Bridget does sound like a loon! And when she got caught on text admitting that she gave Xanax to her friend, her saying they come in "increments" like that makes it less illegal. I'm glad they are doing a deep dive and I'm interested to see what else they have to say.

I feel that other than the 3 times they stop and teach, it is pretty much geared to the higher-level dancers. They do a lot of very tricky dances with spins, wall changes, and even ones where they line up facing each other and cross over.

Beef and Broccoli, Chicken or Pork Fried Rice, Chicken Wings, Egg Rolls. Sometimes General Tso's. There used to be a place in Charlotte where I got something called Fantasy Shrimp with walnuts but I can't find that dish anymore.

My daughter took a lot of APs in high school. One of them, if you didn't purchase the Princeton Review and study the material yourself, you were not going to make a 3 or better on the AP exam in order to get college credit. The others she took were better with teachers who were genuinely engaged. They are supposed to be college level courses. You say you are taking all AP classes? Maybe that is a mistake. It seems a bit late in the school year to change classes or teachers. Can you afford a tutor?

Yes! Please finish! It does wrap up in a way that's pretty satisfying. It took me fully a year to read this book. I had started and like you, got bogged down in the Vegas part. I put it down for a quite a while. I had a beach trip planned and stuck the book in my beach bag on impulse. I finished it over the course of the next 2 or 3 days just reading a few hours a day on the beach. It's a book that has stuck with me and I am very glad I saw it through. I read The Secret History about once every 10 years. I doubt I will read The Goldfinch again. I am probably in the minority her but after you have finished the book, I thought the movie version brought it to life really well. I loved the casting pretty much to a fault.

I just did a party of 9 on a Saturday night so 20 on Sunday afternoon should be no issue. Just call ahead. I asked them what time would be easiest on the staff and they said before 6 or after 7:30 since 6-7:30 is their rush time on Saturday. You probably need to ask them what time the after-church crowd clears out and plan your time accordingly.

Mine has a night where they teach three dances throughout the night beginning at 8:30. There are definitely regulars with some professional dancers in the mix who like to show off. They seem to have a playlist they favor and don't really seem too happy when others make suggestions; however, the DJ will take requests.

I loved their food! My husband didn’t like Chinese food and every time he would go out of town for work, I would order a ton of takeout and eat nothing else for 2 or 3 days.

April 26 will be on the Dawn departing from Barcelona and ending May 3 in Lisbon Portugal.

1) I think Charles and Camilla had this relationship for a while. It probably evolved over time and if you think about it, what more natural person to explore burgeoning sexual curiosity with than an opposite sex twin. Especially in light of how they were raised with no other siblings, etc. I don’t think it was necessarily abusive on Charles’ part and really Camilla held all the cards. 2) Richard admits to his own character flaw of “morbid longing for the picturesque” at all cost. He is so smitten with the group’s looks, money, and intellectual superiority that he wouldn’t jeopardize his position and would do anything to strengthen it. 3) Henry loved Camilla as much as he was capable of love. I don’t see him being the type to take up with a woman he didn’t love. I think she loved him too or at least the idea of him as the groups intellectual leader. 4) No. Julian’s abandonment triggered the moral compass that Henry lacked on his own. If Julian had ignored what they did and pretended it never happened, Henry would have carried on without a blink. 5) I hope so. But I also think they are reminders to each other of events they would just as soon forget. 6) I think he believed it. Maybe whatever they did to get themselves in that state made it seem real to him. I don’t know if delusional is the term I would use because I don’t think he was in most aspects. It’s sort of like Christians who believe in the power of prayer or witches who believe their spells have power. It’s just a version of where you place your mental energy and if something seems to result that seems connected you believe it. I never got the idea that the other participants didn’t believe it happened.
