Thursday's Funny

At The Gym

An older man, not in the best physical condition, asked the trainer in the gym, "I want to impress that beautiful girl. Which machine should I use?"

The trainer replied, "Try the ATM machine outside the gym!"

What Turns You On?

What turns you on and what turns you off...a book.
So what did you think I was talking about? grin.
For me I like a story that pulls me right into the world the author has created. I like suspense, the paranormal and romance that is strong but doesn't smother the story line.
I was reading a romantic suspense by a successful author yesterday. It had a good plot, but when the hero asked the heroine in casual conversation, "Do you know how f...able you are? I want to f you," it pretty much took me out of the scene. This is supposed to make the heroine's heart go pitter-patter? Oh please. Don't misunderstand me, there is a time and place for the f word in stories. Today its pretty much a language staple. This just wasn't one of them. Its definitely a necessity in erotica. JD Robb's Eve Dallas character uses it with regularity and it works because its exactly what this tough-edged woman would say. I have no problem with using it when it's a natural delivery. This wasn't one of those times for me. It felt like 'okay its time to throw out something titillating in the conversation. Hmm, lets tell the heroine she's f--able. It just didn't work for me.
Well, I've vented long enough about two little sentences. What about you? What pulls you in? What turns you off?

Manic Monday

Every day is a gift....Mondays just happen to be of the gag variety.

~*~

I took a vacation day Friday. Being the good buds you are, you're probably hoping it was for something fun and exciting. Unfortunately, no. I took the day off to clean my floors. I shampooed the carpets and waxed the hardwoods. Yup, you guessed it. We are getting ready to go back on the market. I got to tell you, I'm not Ms. Susie Homemaker. I can't believe lugging around a shampooer and all the boring stuff that shampooing carpets entails wore me out, but it did.
What about you? Do anything exciting this weekend?

Parasites and other stuff

My apologies for being absent all week. Did you moms out there have a great Mother's Day?
I had a wonderful one.

I'm blogging today about parasites at Night Writers and no I'm not talking about Uncle Fred and Aunt Jane. These are the one's that reside in a cat's intestines.

We just got back from seeing THOR. Awesome. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Enjoy your Sunday.
