Pondering Contest Quacks

Saturday, May 31, 2008 8:00 39 Comments

I was thinking today (scary, I know) about contests. You have to admit they’re fun. Is there a better feeling than getting something for free? But really, it’s not always fun for the person running the contest. Sadly, there are some who would ruin it for the rest.

Contest Whores
Contest Whores will enter a contest regardless [...]

Office Romance Confessions of Jill Shalvis *closed*

Friday, May 30, 2008 11:00 21 Comments

CONTEST will CLOSE @ 6/2/08 @ Midnight CST

Crazy about…Francis Crawford of Lymond

Friday, May 30, 2008 10:00 18 Comments

At one point in my life, I decided to give up working for a while and have babies with my husband. That entailed selling my house in Banbury, moving up to Manchester and changing all the boring legal stuff, house titles, insurance documents. You get the picture. Tedious stuff.

Thursday, May 29, 2008 15:55 13 Comments

It’s interesting the things one can find while surfing the net. I came across this list on MSN.com that, from what I can tell was originally published in Esquire magazine. As a peek into the male brain, it’s kind of interesting. Skills to master that stand out to me are #1 – Give advice that [...]
