My understanding is that it's loosely based on her grandmother's story.

I have managed to read 16 pages of this book. So far, the younger brother was bitten by a snake & died, they were attacked by Indians and 2 of their party died plus the older brother had his leg amputated, the girls were attacked & the youngest raped by two random dudes that the main character shot & killed. Seriously only 16 pages in!! I'm reading this for our book club not for pleasure. I have read 5 other books since starting that one. Anyone have a quick synopsis of this book or a compelling reason for me to finish it and not return it to the library ASAP.

The stupidity of some people amazes me.

I assume the SPCA would come out with humane traps. A threat would be saying she was going to poison or shoot the cat. We have a problem with loose dogs. The non-owners complain and the dog owners (in general not the loose dogs) say there's no problem. ?

Saw Mission Impossible Fallout over the weekend. It was good for an action movie. I figured out the plot twist very early on but it was still entertaining. Vanessa Kirby who played The White Widow was stunning.

Interesting

This. It's not for kids even though it's a cartoon. My 13 year old is always asking about shows that I find inappropriate. I usually tell her when she's 16 she can watch it. I figure by then she'll be more discerning in watch she wants to watch.

Are your messages being forwarded? That always delays on the receiving end.

Looked it up on IMDB.com, "Rated R for language and some sexual material"

If you don't want to deal with washing the reusable ones (I just toss in with towels) then a vacuum would be best. Or you can get a dust mop.

Thankfully this house has solid doors. Our old house did indeed have glass french doors into the bathroom. Very annoying when one is trying to sleep & the bathroom light was turned on.

Our bathroom has the toilet in it's own little room so that's not as annoying but just once I would love to have a full shower/get dressed/dry hair without being bothered. I can't lock the door because we have french doors. Who ever thought that was a good idea?

I have been trying to teach my husband this. Any gift from his parents must be kept FOREVER. When his mom helped clear out her parents home she brought us a bunch of things that we had bought for his grandparents over the years. I don't want or need these things but he won't part with it.

I donate and figure that the staff will decide if they are going to put it out or not. I wouldn't donate things with stains or holes.

If you know where he's buried you can try Find-A-Grave.

Get rid of it (donate or sell) and don't worry what other people think. My MIL got us a mantle clock, which I didn't want, and mentioned that she's always wanted one. We put the batteries in it and FIL went on and on about how annoying the ticking was. After their visit, I put it back in the box & into the closet. MIL has mentioned it once in 20 years. Unfortunately, I think it's still here somewhere since my DH won't get rid of anything his parents have given us. I'm about to go through all the stuff in the basement storage and donate the things we don't want. I'll have to get my 16 yo DD to help since I know DH will want to keep everything.

Been busy today. First I had to mill the wheat berries before we could make bread. Then I took four of the kids up to the pool. The 13 yo recently got a mermaid tail so she wants to go to the pool every stinking day. Watched her zoom around underwater. Came home & made shrimp for lunch. I should be cleaning and packing. We're leaving for vacation/family visit tomorrow. I did manage to get the mail hold done. I also had to ask a neighbor to bring in a package while we're out of town. My DH got a shipping notice but nobody in the house ordered anything. Of course it arrives while we're out of town. Now I need to get the 16 yo to go cut the grass so that's taken care of before we leave.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for all.

DH & I saw the new Jurrasic World Friday night. Reminded why I don't go to movies on weekends. It was ok. There were several times I found myself looking at my watch and computing how much time was left. Told the kids to wait until it was available to rent.

Glad that you are still planning on going. You'll have a great time and it will be less stressful.

Just non adult content. She'd be fine with a proper murder as long as it's not super graphic. We watched Sherlock together (after I had watched it) and she enjoyed that.

Will do!

Thanks for those suggestions. She's really only started an interest in reading for pleasure so I'm eager for anything that she'll find interesting. Plus the 10 yo can read it too.

People can be so freaking dumb!

Thanks! Reading the descriptions that must be the book series but I swear there was a female character. Looking for wholesome mysteries for my 13 yo. She prefers books with female leads.
