Well, I have never missed a season. Not so sure about watching this time. I detest Harding with such a passion that I honestly have to say that she may be the straw that breaks this camel's back.

My unpopular opinion is related to mother's day. I do love my mother, though we tend to have issues. However, I have no desire to ever be a mother myself. It is out of the question now since I had my hysterectomy, but still. I saw all these posts from friends and family saying how much they...

I can certainly understand why Peter would have viewed the package as harassing or creepy. It is extremely cowardly and cheapens/lessens the impact of ones message to do so in a way that devalues communication and privacy. Communication is a two way street, which is why even with most junk mail...

Antonio was great. I loved it and I'm not always a Sharna fan in terms of choreography. Jodie has skills, but they aren't coming through. Wayna just makes me smile. I want him to do well because I feel like he can do it and that he is enjoying it. Doug or whatever the guy's name is with...

I wish I liked Ginger, but I just don't. I find her to be just too much.

I would certainly find it creepy. I'm of the belief that if you have something to say to me, say it to my face. I dislike anonymous messages that are sent with any intent. When I first moved out on my own in the US I became very involved with a local synagogue that had programs to help...

I hate most memorable year because most of the dances are not appropriate for the idea. I spend most of the evening shaking my head and rolling my eyes at the fake crying from Carrie Ann.

I much preferred the days when there were two dance styles the first night. It gave a better opportunity to know who was up for it and who was going to fizzle fast. I don't miss the result shows, but I hate that you can vote during the show for someone already going home. Feels like a waste...

One of my papers in grad school compared the themes of To Kill a Mockingbird with those of A Time to Kill. She remains one of my favorites. I can't imagine the pressure she must have felt afterward, but I'm so glad she shared her gift of words with us when she did. A truly remarkable woman.

I have and lived upstate for a while when I first arrived here. I just remember my confusion living in Moscow and knowing only of NYC. I couldn't figure out the oxen and cows, etc. Oh the confusion of an 8/9 year old.

Writing helps me to relax. I have been struggling lately with my job because I just can't stand it. Writing forces me to focus on something else and create new worlds that are under my control.

I wasn't in the US when I read this one, but I remember the confusion I had over it. My knowledge of New York was just about NYC. So I had a hard time reconciling in my mind that there was a rural area to New York even in that time period.

Hard to answer. I love On the Banks of Plum Creek because it is the image of LIW that I could most picture. Her age in that book was just perfect for the time I read it. As a child I would have wanted to be friends with her at that age. Little Town on the Prairie was another that I truly...

I did. Don't know the full outcome because I had to get on with my day, but I wasn't going to let it go unchecked. When I first moved to the US I worked part-time in a grocery store. My biggest issue was people leaving refrigerated or frozen items on random shelves when they decided they...

I was waiting to get to the meat counter at the grocery store the other day. A woman and man were there ahead of me with four kids. I just wanted a package of the lean ground beef for a spaghetti sauce. Two of their kids were poking holes in the packaging of the meat to dig holes into it with...
