It made me smile and think of my parents when Doc Creed posted in the Ka-tet Cantina, about something his dad always used to say. What catch phrases did your parents use, or do you use? My mom had a few, most of them mixed metaphors, but informative in their own ways. My dad used to always ask...

Who is Benedict Cumberbatch in your mind's cast of Stephen King characters? I've posted a few of my own ideas as choices in this poll.

The first episode of season 2, "Through a Glass Darkly," premiers tonight! A quick peek at what season 2 looks like.

For those of you mourning the loss of the wonderful series that was Downton Abbey, I think I might have a little something that might ease you through your time of grief. I give you Mr. Selfridge. It begins in 1909 (I think), London. It's about real life entrepreneur, bombastic Chicagoan, Harry...

At work today, a young lady asked me to recommend a book a Stephen King fan might like that isn't a Stephen King book. I was all about making recommendations and the suggestions ran the gamut from science fiction to classic lit and some poetry. I asked her why she was asking. She told me she had...

How do you deal with that troublesome bad apple who stinks up your barrel?

A few years back, when I was advised to give up coffee, I discovered the wonderful world of tea. Pearled, leaved, herbal, spiced, bagged or loose, I love tea. Hot or iced, creamed or black, sweetened usually, but any way it's served I love tea. Of course I never did give up coffee, but there...

I tend to not make resolutions myself, but I am going to this year. My resolution this year is to live cruelty free, or get as close to it as I possibly can.

I embarrassed myself last week. This is kind of a long story, so I'm going to jump into it. Sometimes when the day starts out rough and I don't pull myself out of a bad attitude it will spiral into the whole day going south. This day went south. I almost got into a wreck on the way to work. I...

Presently I am obsessed with Bugles. They no longer fit on my fingers... either they shrunk or my fingers got bigger. No matter, I love Bugles. Another thing that makes for some good snacking is fresh and crispy Sugar Snap Peas. They are really good, and good for you if you don't drown them...

I'm reading Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors. As always it's a pure pleasure to read his work. Well, to get to the point. One of the stories is a 100 word short Christmas story, 102 counting the title, Nicholas Was. I got to thinking that it might be fun to try doing that, lo and behold it was. I...

Hi I am Patricia A and I start stoooopid threads. I like doing that so here I go again.

We've all talked about an amusement park based Stephen King's work, which is a great idea IMO... But wonder if there was a school, sort of being to artists what Hogwarts is to magic. There can be campuses all over the world. I'd take guitar lessons and perseverance guidance.

Right on! The store I work in has recently started selling brand new books direct from the publishers and I was thrilled to see Doctor Sleep hit our shelves, even if they only stay on the shelf for like a minute. I have some die hard King fans who shop at the store so I have not let one of them...
