Come join in the fun! @Dana Jean is the handy one, and I'm pretty good at keeping the husband content, you can help homeschool the kiddies! I've just about had it with public schools. The Ogre won't know what to do with himself.

Oh exactly - I can totally understand the sister-wife thing, but who the Heck would want more than one husband? That's an altogether different thing.Not if you paid me. One husband was hard enough to break in--who'd want to do that more than once?!
Perfect metaphor! You get an A+ this morning Mr.
And have you seen Truly, Madly, Deeply? Swoon!Smart is sexy, and both of them have that going on
Hi Sam... glad you are back. Yes, it has been a few months. Some of the items have changed due to software glitches. PM's are now conversations and there are no poetry or story writing sections. But some of the people have found their way back..glad you are here.
Poligamy (multiple wives) not polyandry (multiple husbands). Both are interesting concepts though. Guess I am Weird. Have always thought it isunrealistic for one person to 'complete' another and fulfill his or her needs. I would think the communal living would meet many unmet needs and increase love overall. Of course, with additional people would be additional drama... so hmmm... will be thinking about this today8).Not if you paid me.

I'm reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton. He seems like he was great author.
Wow, I haven't gotten a grade that good in almost 40 years....wait a minute, I never got one like that.
Same idea
I wouldn't do it either way, but I know people who do, and it works for them. Live and let live, right (as long as everyone is an unimpaired adult & able to consent, anyway)?Jurassic Park is one of my favorite books ever
What most interests me about Crichton is that he could write so much, over so many genres, and do them all well. Smart, smart man.
I have just one story left in my Just After Sunset reread, I have really enjoyed visiting the stories again.
Also started Life After Life in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep, and am liking it so far!

Cell (again) can't decide whether to read Salems lot or the tommyknockers. Finished robert harris an officer and spy, good story good characters, kind of historical fact with some fiction thrown in. i am on a SK buzz at this point in time
Jurassic Park is one of my favorite books ever
He really is. The kind of things he comes up with must take a lot of time and research into different fields and thoughts.
I'm gonna say Salem's Lot! I've been wanting to re read that one lately, since it's been years for me. I need to keep catching up on what stories I missed out on but those old school classic novels are eyeing me while I sleep at night!!!
Brilliant author! He was able to write about highly technical themes and not make you feel stupid while reading his books. I love his early books. Prey terrified me!
Hey Sam! You were in my thoughts the other day! Come back as much as you can!
I really enjoyed Life After Life. It's such an emotional ride. The lump in your throat is suddenly coughed up when you laugh out loud.
This is probably my favorite book by Crichton (it's nothing like the movie, thankfully). I like it even better than Jurassic Park.
I lost my copy of it a decade ago, and then one day, at a used bookstore (which sadly no longer exists), I found a first-edition hardcover, same as I'd owned as a kid. In the front and back covers it has a map of the island, and small pictures of all the dinosaurs with their lengths listed.
Finished Red Planet. About two thirds of the way in it does an abrupt one-eighty from a young-adult adventure book into a dialogue-heavy revolution akin to Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I enjoyed the book overall, but wouldn't really recommend it.
Thanks Vulture and MadamMack! Yeah...fell off the face of the board for a while. Will try to be more consistent going forward.
