Michael W. May

This first one is his best work, period, imo. The series gets convoluted after, still decent, but this first novel on its own is brilliant. - Michael W. May

I love this series! Classic! - Head Ov Metal

The first one is really good, the next two are hard to read. Then they get good again, but the the last book and half not only detract from themselves, but they also pull down the Stand. - RAPatton

Actually I like the second book "Drawing of the Three" better.. It has all my favorite elements of Sci Fi: Time Travel, Alternate Realties, and a naked junkie fighting the mob. XD - Haggis (Sean)

I didn't like this series, but I forced myself to read all 5 million books in it. This one started off slow, got close to okay and then died a sad little death. But that's just my opinion, most everyone I know who's read it loved it. - Anika Malone

good book. Love this series, though I'm on book 5 and it's taken some unfortunate turns. I like Tommyknockers best of King's works. Insomnia was cool too. - John Cozen

Insomnia was crazy, such a departure for King, not just leaving the horror behind, but it was actually well-written. - Anika Malone

great re-read, too - anna

A few years ago I decided that I should read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Still haven't done it. - Ontario Emperor

I didn't like this book. I was forced to read it in high school and decided I should do it again as an adult. I'm just not a fan of Austen's writings. - Anika Malone

The BBC movie is the best movie treatment. A perfect movie if there ever was one. - todd

I'm glad I waited to read any of Austen's stuff until I was an adult - there are pieces of the writing that I'm not all that fond of (the beginning of the first chapter is really awkward, structurally), but overall I enjoy it. I'd recommend Persuasion above it any day. - Jennifer Dittrich

That would be a negative RAP ...lol - Far

They obviously have not analysed your avatar well enough *sagenod* - Michael W. May

LOL - Matt Musgrave

hah - Nicholas Kreidberg

This is one of those perfect B-Movies; it doesn't need a reincarnation, remake, reset, or reanything, except the re-release nobody considers an option with these. - Michael W. May

YES!! They HAVE to recreate the epic fight scene that lasts WAYYYYY too long! And the ending needs to be the same! - Josh Haley

mark : love that line :) - (jeff)isageek

"That one can SEE!" - Jim Jannotti

Who would you cast in place of "Rowdy" Roddy? Dwayne the Rock? - Threepwood

"Strike is also working on a remake of Carpenter's "The Thing."" - which would be a remake of a remake.... Listen. Just don't. Leave The Thing alone. IMO, The Thing is John Carpender's crowing achievement. - stretta via twhirl

This was pretty enjoyable. - Tad, TV's Patrick Duffy

samanfar, wow - clarke thomas

My name is Smacker, OKAY! - Andrew Trinh

This is very cool. - Michael W. May

Right photo.. you can see much more and its a more pleasing angle - Haggis (Sean)

I added the stand thingies. I just don't want to seem pretentious. *worries* - Yolanda via IM

Right - Michael W. May

As a bonus, the earrings and necklace form smiley faces on the black ;) - Michael W. May

I know! I turn and look at the table and it is just a bunch of smileys looking at me. ^_^ - Yolanda via IM

It is not pretentious, but rather, professional. - Michael W. May

The right. It's better presented that way. - Cheryl Jones

The right. Much better. - Derrick

Definitely the right. The left side doesn't look like a "display", but the right does. - Jason Huebel

Thanks you guys. Y'all are awesome. - Yolanda

Definitely the one on the right. - James Ferguson

right for sure. good luck on the sales. definitely don't worry about seeming pretentious. be bold and assured about what you're doing - Kamilah Gill

Most definitely the one on the right. Looks more professional - Sheryl

Yo, I think this is the first time I have ever voted for the RIGHT. ;) - Anna Haro

@Yolanda, you know you want to. - Jason Huebel

Um duh, Yolanda! - Mona N.

Hello, Hello Kitty! - Kevin C. Tofel

YOLANDA CLOSE YOUR EYES ... PLEASE don't tell me you're a fan of that...THING, Kevin! - Mona N. via IM

OK, I'm having entirely too much fun browsing Japanese crap. I need to get off of this site before I buy stuff! :-D - Jason Huebel

lovely title :P - Michael W. May

hahahha - Mona N.

I didn't see a thing, Mona! - Yolanda

Not often enough. - Yolanda

i try and help others often , in my day job as a firefighter and in my home life - johnpiercy

same as yolanda - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

I guess I need explanation on what you mean by appreciated? I am kind to all people even when I am in a funky mood. - jlt

tuesday, just as I got off my bus home, I helped a partially sighted guy navigate down an icy hill and reach a pub that he wasn't sure of its location. - alphaxion

A big part of my job is working with angsty college students and at this time of the year, they're burned out, stressed, and tired. I actually make an effort to letting them know that their hard work isn't in vain, and it's rewarding to help them through the end of the semester. I guess the same goes for fellow staff members too. We are feeling the burn as well. - Derrick

You're a good one, Derrick. *hugs* - Yolanda

Thanks, Yolanda. Mama and Daddy done raised themselves a man! ;) - Derrick

To borrow a phrase from Yo, whenever my brain cell allows - Michael W. May

I try to do it every day. It's especially important for me to make my wife feel appreciated. With my new job, she has a lot of stuff to deal with while I'm working. She's pretty awesome, IMHO. - ha3rvey

@ha3rvey you sound like an awesome husband - Shevonne Polastre

I think this goes beyond being nice, but actually letting people know that someone actually appreciates what they do. I'm quite positive I don't do this enough, but I'm trying really hard to change it. I know I would like it if people let me know I wasn't being taken for granted. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

i love these kinds of threads - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

Thanks, Marco. It's provoking this kind of discussion that's made me a FF lifer. :) - Derrick

It was the realization that alot of the people on here actually cared enough about these kinds of discussions that did it for me - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

Marco, I was hesitant to participate on FF because I thought that the threads here skewed towards tech (and they do), but even still, it's *these* kinds of things that I care about, and I realized there's room for all. - Derrick

Way way way too much. hahaha. - Lainie

I do customer service in my day job, but I'm with Yolanda. I don't do it often enough. Especially for co-workers who've gone beyond what everyone else does at my workplace. - Helen Sventitsky

I wish everyone understood that, Derrick. "there's room for all" :) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

Frequently. I feel bad if I'm caused hurt feelings unintentionally. - Katie

Rah, thanks for making me feel so welcome, dude. Mo talked you up BIG TIME before I committed to really using FF. - Derrick

LOL! - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

As often as i can. - Steven Perez

Thanks Derrick, way to make me feel bad about myself ;). I go out of my way to smile and be pleasant to anyone I meet or come across but other than that no. I also don't do or donate anything for charity. However I don't eat kittens or sexually molest old people so I feel it evens out a bit. - Toby Graham

Toby underestimates the smiles he brings to FFeeders everywhere *chuckle* - Michael W. May via twhirl

whatever you are doing today, what will matter to you looking back 10 year from now is interactions you had with others, people you met, people you worked with, and how you feel about how *you* were to them... We're so good at complaining and so bad at giving praise, because we see all the good things as "just normal". - Joelle Nebbe

As often as possible. I like making another person's day a little brighter. - Jason Huebel

Occasionally. I try to respond to emails from people that have helped me with a project or send me a note saying that they're leaving their company explaining that their help and patience did not go unnoticed. - James Ferguson

And often times, I'm surprised by the kindness of people. So much so, that it's shocking it doesn't happen nearly enough. - Derrick

as much as I can. - Melissa

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - Iain Baker

That's right up there with, "Dude, hold my beer for a sec." - ha3rvey

Agreed Tina. It's been about a year for me too. Going to have to make a point of having one soon. mmmmm - David Cook

Oh Tina... how you talk... - Yolanda

I can only talk like that cause I had a biscuit for breakfast =D Granted, there was nothing on it, but it was still a biscuit and that's gotta count for something. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I just had one too. It a small sausage biscuit eater world. - Stephan Miller

@Lindsey That's what she said. - Shey

You mean you got it IN to your system, right? It has't left yet... - Phil Glockner

No Phil . . . I made sure to purge when I was done :P - Lindsey

Hell, now I kinda want one. - Derrick

Go with a good southern omelet ;) smoothered in sausage gravy... - Michael W. May via twhirl

Brian, what isn't a euphemism these days, if you think about it... I don't think this one is, though. Is it? I better check UrbanDictionary... - Kamilah Gill

http://www.morecowbell.dj/ - Michael W. May

moo - Bryan Clark

heh, you said "euphemism" *snicker* - Glen Campbell

I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell! - Mark Wilson

moooooophemism. - abacab

Now Im hungry - Shevonne Polastre

That reminds me, I have a butternut squash I need to do something with. Perhaps roasted butternut squash soup... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Butternut squash is so very wonderful. It's just such a pain to actually get to the good stuff though I don't cook with it nearly as much as I should. - Michelle Jones

I'm not the *biggest* fan of butternut squash, but something this savory and cheesy could be the thing to convince me. - Derrick

I find it's easier to deal with when roasted/grilled, Michelle. Cut it in half and roast it, and then once it's cooked the meat is easy to remove from the shell. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

The current thought in the male side of my household is that squash is the devil's vegetable - Brian Sullivan

Michelle, you can (probably) buy diced, frozen butternut squash if there's a Whole Foods in your area. I've also seen it at other stores here in Vancouver, but it's definitely worth a look. It's a godsend. - Cecily

Derrick - Same here. I'm going to see if @mydwynter wants to have this for dinner sometime. - James Williams (willia4)

I made something very similar to this... yesterday? no cheese and it was more a soup, but hey :P - Michael W. May
