@Christi-Eaton yes! I know! I didn’t cry over it (for some reason I seem to have stopped crying about a year ago? 😛 ) but I was stumbling around in an emotional daze for the rest of the day. It was awesome.

Ha!

I don’t know, you do it @kate-flournoy. I only come up with the ideas.

I’m in. Where do we sign up to fund this thing? 😀

*lightbulb* New fad everybody! Forget adult coloring books, the new thing is adult picture books!

if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

@Daeus ha! Me too! 😀

@Daeus whoa! Easy there! It’s not that bad. 😛 And the forum doctor is not on call either, so settle down. I don’t want to have to be repairing fractured skulls on a moment’s notice. *shakes finger*

But I definitely recommend you definitely see this one as soon as definitely possible. 😀

I don’t like it when the illustrations look different from what I imagined them being, but I think I still like having the images even despite that. They’re generally at least close and if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHHH!!! *bashes head against the wall*

I haven’t seen it yet. I think my health is declining. I might have to go to the ER if this keeps up.

It really depends, @I-J-Anderson. Some books are good with illustrations. A lot of old classics have illustrations— things like Gene Stratton-Porter, and Ballantyne, and the like. I liked those because they sort of filled in the setting gaps the author didn’t spend much time on, though I could have filled it in without them. I guess what I’m…[Read more]

@Daeus of course. No one doubts that. XD

@his-instrument What Kate said. That’s what I meant to say, except I would have put it better of course.

@emma-flournoy You need an @ symbol.

I tend to agree with @Daeus, @His-Instrument. Literature doesn’t always HAVE to be literal and exact to the real world— especially when it comes to symbolism, there are definite lines you can cross— but unless you feel that it will help illustrate a truth (maybe you wanna explore guilt and how it keeps you from moving on?) probably best not to…[Read more]

@his-instrument Great topic.

As far as ghosts in real life, here’s my opinion. So, what is a ghost? Well, a spirit of course. But the real question is whether it can be any spirit or if it has to be the spirit of a real person that has died, but now that dwells on earth in spiritual form. Of course, I believe in angels and demons that could…[Read more]

@his-instrument Well, it looks like I’m not going to be able to come after all. 🙁 I’d love to, but the two hour drive it too much.

Hi y’all, I have a prayer request: My mom has had a chronic condition for the last five years, and it will sometimes get better for three months, and then suddenly slump for six. Since July my family has been planning to do something really special in January, next week, to be exact, but she’s suddenly gone into a rough spot and probably won’t be…[Read more]
