Also, make sure in your alert preferences that you have the box marked to received tag alerts. Just hover over your name up there by Inbox and the drop down menu will show. Go to Alert Preferences and make sure that box is checked. Mine was, and I didn't receive your alerts, so I don't think they are working either way, but you might make sure that you can receive alerts.


Dana Jean, I do not think the TAG feature has been working correctly for a period of time.

Perhaps this is stupid question but since Owen meany is your fave have you read The Tin Drum by Gunther Grass? Is said to have inspired Irving. Havent read either i'm afraid but i've seen the movie made from Grass book. The boy in that book has the same initials as the boy in Irvings book. Oscar something i can't for the moment remember. Coincidence....?

I haven't read that book. I think he directly references it in... A Widow for One Year, I think? It's been a while, but it's clear that he has a lot of respect for Grass as an author. Wouldn't be surprised if he found inspiration from him or his books :)

Larry Underwood ... the way he came through the fire changed for the better.

Three cats (Skittles, Ozzy, and Whitey). I want a dog.

9. Do you often have nightmares?

10. Do you like talkshows on television?
Well ... I literally almost never watch TV. Occasionally I'll catch an excerpt on YouTube or whatever. Love Craig Ferguson, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and (because he's soooo cute and so excited about everything and it's totes adorbs) Jimmy Fallon.

Oh, I see. Sorry Kurben. I will tag him for you.

GNTLGNT -- Kurben would like you to do Sunday Survey next week. Can you?
What if someone who gets picked has chosen to put this thread on "Ignore" - I guess then that is an indication they are not interested?
(I put the favourite video thread or theme song thread on "Ignore" - it was taking too long to load and freezing up my screen.

I think you would still get the alert. I'm not sure about that.
