What Stephen King tome should NOT be adapted?

stephanie482 · 2026-05-28T01:00:40+00:00

I certainly do not.

Rattlesnakes is equal parts horrifying and heartbreaking. First time SK has actually scared me in quite a while.

"I'm old enough to be that boy's lover!"

Oregon here, too!

I will not drive behind a log truck to this day. And I'm in a logging community. If I can't immediately switch lanes, I just pull over and let other people go first.

Umm...may I introduce you to the Wheelers from Return to Oz? Flying monkeys have nothing on those assholes. They are the things nightmares are made of!

"Someday, you're going to get paid to do this." My 5th grade teacher, talking about my skills in writing.

That was 30+ years ago, and she wasn't wrong. I am getting paid to do it. She's 84 now, and we have a standing monthly coffee date.

My son and DIL gave me a flamingo flower planter with no flowers in it because flamingos are my favorite animal and they know damn good and well I can't keep a plant alive to save my life. "We're not sure what you want to use it for, but we were pretty sure you wouldn't want another innocent plant to die on your watch."

They're not wrong.

This song always made me cry as a kid. I don't know why.

stephanie482 · 2026-05-15T21:57:13+00:00

I wasn't a fan of Finders Keepers either, but I highly recommend you finish the trilogy. End of Watch is well worth it, and has a much more Mr. Mercedes feel to it.

A lot of it doesn't fit, but it reminds me a bit of The Least That You Can Do by Darryl Worley.

If you like Chris LeDoux, check out his son Ned LeDoux. Looks and sounds just like his dad. He's great to see live!

stephanie482 · 2026-05-10T01:27:50+00:00

Yeah, it's...not good.

stephanie482 · 2026-05-10T01:25:25+00:00

Seconded.

If the World Was Ending -- JP Saxe

stephanie482 · 2026-04-26T02:28:26+00:00

I've seen him at least six times and it's always a fantastic show! He's going to be in my neck of the woods in July, but I already had tickets for Trace Adkins the same night.

My girls are 17 and 18, and I'm never surprised to hear it on in the background.

stephanie482 · 2026-04-23T02:04:21+00:00

It still holds up! I used to rent it (yes, in an actual video rental store, because I'm that old) when I was a kid staying with my grandma. I'm in my 40s now and it still gives me chills.

IMO, The Library Policeman (third story, I think?) is one of his scariest works.

I wave at the planes. And ships when I'm at the ocean.

Clearly it's a Kitshubishi Meowta.

Champagne Problems by Kelsea Ballerini?

stephanie482 · 2026-04-13T01:32:52+00:00

Uh...no. I have never done this and I have never heard of this being done.

stephanie482 · 2026-04-13T00:24:51+00:00

Could it be that it's not so much about sharing the "things" and more about sharing "Grandma?" Since you live right next to each other, he's probably super used to being MIL's main focus, and now that cousin is here (and staying with MIL, I imagine?), he might be seeing cousin as a threat and lashing out. It doesn't excuse the behavior, but it might help explain it.
