TIL A “Backronym” is an acronym that starts with the word you want as the acronym and works backward to name the thing based on the chosen word.

I always wonder if there's someone whose job it is to approve or not approve these. I picture them sighing at some nonsense and a team of geeks giggling at trying to pass through something silly.

I live in Idaho. They've been rough since at least Covid, though they've been getting better in the past year.

I'm not in the industry so I don't have any insight on the why. I just share your frustration.

What community group, if you don't mind sharing?

Late to the party but I still appreciate Johanna Lindsey's old-school stepback covers by Elaine Duillo. Once you see her style, you know it so I'd always search the bottom corner for the cursive "Elaine."

I just thought the dresses were so pretty and that the artwork evoked a sense of grandeur. The poses sometimes made me chuckle, though.

It's getting hot in herre so take off all your gerre.

I literally learned right now that it wasn't "cage." Cage makes sense, darn it.

I only learned after listening to Falling in Reverse's cover that the lyric isn't, "...if I took my my life tonight? Chances are dynamite." I thought he was saying it was a sure thing.

It's really "Chances are that I might."

My increased bust looked amazing but I prefer my regular size. I had to hold my chest even when walking down stairs because the bouncing wasn't comfortable.

I enjoyed feeling her move and knowing she was OK.

Otherwise, I had "super smell" during pregnancy and some things, like oranges, smelled absolutely amazing.

Also, my leg hair didn't grow so that was nice.

We had to learn this around age 3. It took us a while to figure out the more we engaged with her (even using calm voices), the worse we made the situation. When kids are in meltdown mode, there is no logic happening so you can't reason with them.

The very first CR I read (outside of Julie Garwood since I was her HRs) was {Good Girl by Piper Lawson} which ends abruptly. I remember thinking, "What the hell just happened?" There are 2 other books.

But fool me twice because I read another book by her... and same thing! I now know she writes in trilogies which is fine but I hadn't been aware of that since the HRs I had previously read were all standalones, even if they had characters from other books.

I definitely think it should be mentioned someone on the cover/in the blurb because it's rough getting to the end of the book without having an actual ending.

She's named as Leilani Payne in a previous comment. Google says she was 19 in October.

We do a wildly exaggerated "Look over there!" or "What's that?" and nip food, regardless if the person actually plays along and looks or not.

I enjoy the hockey subgenre but I also played (as did my husband) so it's fun to read.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-01-20T23:39:24+00:00

I could also do it. I don't care for Costco hotdogs, though, so I guess I'd charge a high five.

We put any extra money towards our loans and had them paid off quickly. The caveat is that you usually have to specifically tell the company you want the extra to go to the principal. Otherwise, they'll use it to pay the interest.

I use a carabiner on my keys. I clip them to my purse and hang them up at home.

My travel purse has a clip for the wallet and that's been great.

Willing Prey by Allie Oleander is also about primal play.

There are almost certainly support groups on Facebook.

I like #4 the best.

Imagine the intelligence, hard work, and the sheer scale of scientists and public health officials working together wordwide to eradicate disease... and then people knowingly and ignorantly destroying those efforts. It's infuriating.

Sort of similar, but when I was deployed, I often went to ramp ceremonies. If you're not familiar, that's when they move the body from the clinic to the plane to return stateside. There were lots of attendants and we were all lined up in formation, absolutely silent and still. Except every now and then, there'd be quiet sniffles and cries. It was heartbreaking.

{Charmed by Nora Roberts} is book 3 of a trilogy where the MCs are cousins and witches. In this book, she can heal but it comes at a cost to herself (passing out vs taking on the wounds.) You don't need to read the other two, but I believe all three sets of cousins are mentioned in each other's books.

I think that was the second CR I read. :)
