  1. Hershey's Kisses plain. Good for sore throats when trying to go to sleep. I can fall asleep with it in my mouth and not have to worry about choking because they melt fast. Hershey's Kisses with Almonds. M&Ms with Almonds. A little darker chocolate than Hersey's. Oh and I probably should mention I love chocolate covered almonds. And ants. Chocolate covered ants are good.
  2. Yes and no. There is one gay werewolf in the Mercy series that does have a partner. Warren is a cowboy and his partner, Kyle, is a divorce attorney. There isn't anything very explicit in the books but I prefer it that way. If I'm going to visualize (always do!) I don't always want it all spelled out for me. I do have an imagination. One of her short fictions is: Down These Strange Streets: Poor Warren has terrible neighbors. Apparently, nobody told them that antagonizing a werewolf isn't as fun as it sounds. So you may want to start with that one even though it isn't a part of the series. I haven't read it so I don't know what happens but I have the feeling it has to do with the time before Mercy when Warren wasn't accepted by a pack because gay. Variety is the spice of life. Enjoy!
  3. Huh? Hey! Whatever happened to that southern drawl?
  4. Lynn who? Try Patricia Briggs. Start with the Alpha and Omega series, interspersed with the Mercy Thompson series. The two are tied together. http://www.patriciabriggs.com/books/ I have not read any of her others series so I don't know if they are good as these two or not. Yet.
  5. I tend to pronounce it as tar-ree. Is that wrong?
  6. Because, at the time, how could I not? I chose the last name Gregoire because that is the French version of Gregory. It derives from the Latin name "Gregorius", which came from the late Greek name Grēgórios meaning "watchful, alert" (derived from Greek grēgorein meaning "to watch") and that is what she was doing in the opening scenes (as I recall), watching. I created the account long before it came out that Selene was Hungarian, otherwise I would have chosen something that, at least, sounded Hungarian. It just fits.
  7. Didn't see anywhere else appropriate to share this so I'm putting it here. Maybe it will brighten someone's day. https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/animals/adorable-african-penguins-try-to-chase-bubbles/vi-AAIv8ke?ocid=spartandhp
  8. I tend to agree. And why I am still debating even having a store on MP. I'm thinking maybe I should but only have a few items with the rest available inworld. Of course, I would put in the description something to that effect so people will know there is more to be found inworld than on the MP. I'm not out to make a profit or cash out, anyway. For me, that's pretty much a pipe dream.
  9. I was fully expecting to see lots of... items with prices, not a handful of freebies. I should have known better. lol
  10. Just be glad I haven't had the energy lately to take that time to shove you out the door and into the pond.
  11. For the last time I do NOT hold individuals accountable. I DO hold the governments of both countries accountable. Get off that high horse before you fall off.
  12. You didn't bother to read any of the articles I posted. It is still happening today. Canada has just as big a racial problem as the US does and in many ways, moreso. I'm not holding you accountable. I'm holding Canada and the US accountable. And until the people of Canada and the people of the US can get past their own prejudices towards First Nations I will contiune to do so. Because it must be done. The issues must be addressed and corrected. Like it or not.
  13. Sorry. As much as I'd like to meet you, there's no way I'd ever move to Canada. They've got a lot of things to fix concerning First Nations people before I could even consider it.
  14. Trudeau wasn't even born yet. Do your own research. You can start here: https://origins.osu.edu/article/canada-s-dark-side-indigenous-peoples-and-canada-s-150th-celebration https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/jun/12/canada.usa https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/bmw3gv/canadians-need-to-face-uncomfortable-truths-about-how-we-treat-indigenous-people https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/out-of-sight-out-of-mind-2/ I have a lot of First Nations friends in Canada, many of whom are Cree and there's also my own people who are in both the US and Canada. The Lakota, Dakota and Nakota.
  15. Considering the state I grew up in, it would be almost like going home. And I've always loved going to the French Quarter in NO. Oddly enough, the Basilica was one of my favorite places to visit thanks to my 8th grade history teacher who was also the band instructor. Everyone else thought he was a mean old man until he told us he was taking us to NO for our annual field trip. I always knew he was softie underneath all that gruff.
  16. Oh you mean those women whose foot bones were broken and bent and bound so that they could not run away or walk.
  17. Odd. Mine came maxed out in height and was over 8 feet tall so I had to reduced it considerably to come closer to my own RL height of 5' 4". And I can change the foot size simply by going into Appearance just as I do with the system body. Remember height isn't just the torso, it's in the leg length too.
  18. Until you run across one of those that has a delete on rez script in it.
  19. Way cool. It's been 2 years and at this point I'd love to have something in common with my neighbors. As it is, best I can hope for is a smile and a wave. It's just been made too easy for them to not learn English. heck even billboards around here are in Spanish and not English. I feel like I live in a foreign country these days.
  20. Move to a country that treats their indigenous peoples even worse than the US does? I don't think so.
  21. Sure, just as soon as Comcast/Xfinity. Frontier, and all the other "cable" companies start offering customizable packages for a reasonable price. *tosses a snowball into hell* Yep. About that much of a chance of that happening.
  22. lol It didn't dawn on me until after I had shut my computer down last night. I was all jello and everything. Most of my RL neighbors barely speak English.
