“Is it bad that I assume everyone gets killed on GH?” I asked my Twitter followers today. So, with major apologies to Edward Gorey and his famous Gashlycrumb Tinies, I simply cannot resist a tongue-in-cheek send-up of the show’s death toll in recent years. A is for AJ, who caught so much flack B stands… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Is there a woman out there who is actually 100 percent fine with her body? Or are we all, particularly in the West, hard-wired — thanks to media messages and peer pressure — to find constant fault with ourselves? I ask, because I don’t go a day without disparaging how I look. It’s an exhalation… Read More I sing the body eclectic

But Sandra Brown is one of those authors… Read More Rainwater, by Sandra Brown

Disney’s Tangled bears about as much resemblance to the original Rapunzel fairy tale as I do to Angelina Jolie. That’s something one comes to expect from Disney.
