Another great post, Marjie. Congratulations on the new job! I truly hope it doesn't distract you from your other chosen profession because I would miss you terribly. I get the impression that you're not very good at doing just enough to get by. Just one of the many reasons I and so many others care about you so much.

I'm going to avoid that tea. With marketing and a color like that, it must be poisonous. They just didn't know how to put that on the label.

LOL - that's probably themes honest review they could have given that tea!

Um…that sounds like a job that’s gonna take a bit of time and patience!! Really, it sounds huge. Good luck!

Blackberry rain.. yeah it’s gonna hurt but also stain everything blue…not really gonna rush out n buy that one.

Also… had no idea that the 1000s of times I’ve sung along to Purple rain that’s what it was about…disturbing..and why would there be blood in the sky… is that just metaphorical do you think? I don’t want to be wandering about in blood rain…even if it is purple…

The guy was brilliant. But batshit.

You're right. The papayas might hurt, but at least they wouldn't stain!

Brava!

Oddly just yesterday I accidentally came across the (now defunct) ARC Facebook page, and spent some time reading the back and forths and how conscientious we all were regarding fair scoring, and giving feedback to the applicants. It makes me happy that you are getting back in it, because you know, it's important!
