That's an amazing idea! Just think about all the dragon-Easter-eggs you can make and take a photo of them with, it's just too perfect. Most of my pets had names before I got them. At least the ones that were planned, randomly adopted pets didn't get a name in advance. Thank you, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there like a recommended reading order for Hobbs series or should I just read in publication order. Working to improve is always good but don’t be too hard on yourself. Life is well... going one day at a time, thanks for asking. Feel better Rhae. I want a puppy too Publishing order, which is also chronological. So Farseer - Liveships - Tawny Man - Rain Wilds - Fitz and the Fool. Characterisation and raw emotion is Hobb's strength. Also I find her prose really beautifully too. 5 hours ago, Mark Antony said: Cool. Thanks. Hide contents Regal is already my least favorite part of this trilogy, dont find him compelling or interesting as an antagonist to Fitz at all so kinda disappointing to hear that Lots of people have that issue. I grew to enjoy her OTT antagonists over time but I understand the criticism. Even so, I think there is more complexity to some of her characters, particularly her antagonists, than many credit on a first read. Some info is also added retrospectively in later books... Kennit is by far one of her best crafter characters though... 5 hours ago, Buckwheat said: I do not think they are being rude. I am a person who takes things way too personally for business life.

I am a caring person, which means I take stuff personally. My first choice right now would be working at university ... so part of that would also be teaching, but on a different level. And research and stuff. Maybe I have not thought this through enough. Maybe I do not know what I am talking about. I would also like to translate literature.I like that. My cat would probably get a silly name. It is better I do not have a cat. I would be very annoying to a cat.

I have watched Where's Rebecca Bunch more, but this one is very funny too. @RhaenysB I actually liked the new Jane. I liked the new narrator voice. The former Mateo was more adorable, though.

Though I have admittedly built a crap ton of muscle in the past two months carrying shit around town on foot and public transport. WHERE IS MY FOOD. *so hungry* WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS! I'm so sorry, it's such an obvious awful joke and yet I couldn't resist. I am very much looking forward to Rhae's driving adventures.

Like seriously, if you sell me 8 lamps for like €500, and I pay in advance and you tell me they'll be here in two weeks WHY is it me who has to call you after A MONTH and ask where the f*** my lamps are? And then you promise to check and call me back and two hours later I have to call you again and ask if you checked? And then you finally check and come back to me and hey, you had pipe breakage and the packaging of my lamps soaked through but they are fine and you can deliver them tomorrow? Like, call me when my lamps come in so they don't sit in your storage and get soaked. Call me when you have the pipe breakage and soak through the packaging of my lamps. Call me! I'm the damn customer. Serve me! Why do I have to call people over and over again to make them to their job that I paid for? Why can't they just do it without my pushing them? I see customer service has died globally. I honestly thought it was a U.S. phenomenon. It's pretty non existent anymore here. Dealing with healthcare providers in particular usually means doing everyone's job but the doctors. On 10/6/2017 at 7:42 AM, Zar Lannister said: BUCKYYYYYY HELENAAAAA RHAENYSSS FOMNNNNN TBBBBBBBB!

I work in purchasing for a large charity. We're focused on disaster relief in the Caribbean right now so there's a lot going on. Oh my. You must be very busy. Grateful you're doing what you're doing - so many people need help right now. I can not sleep and it's driving me crazy. You know when you're so tired you can't even sleep? Yep. I am sadly ignorant to global holidays - is Halloween an American thing? I'm very much looking forward to it - pumpkins and trick-or-treating with the lil ones. We are going to this really neat Living history museum here in AZ and they will be playing Ghostbusters - which was a staple in my 80's childhood and have ghost hunts for the adults. i know they've done several of those ghost hunting shows at this location.

RhaenysBee Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Speaking of customer service, @Lady Olennapeople in healthcare are the worst. They don't give a shit about you AND they are rude. I totally get that they are sick of working double shifts for peanuts and deal with stupid people but come on, nobody comes to See a doctor for fun. And @Buckwheat that's funny, it was exactly the double narration that I thought was a bit too much. The previous Mateo was indeed cuter but I suppose I'll warm to this new one too. I did love how they handled the recast though. Bamm, Mateo looks like this now. End of story. Good luck with getting to work a uni! How is the phd going, btw?

Maybe we are somewhere in the middle. I will keep my opinion that Christmas stuff belongs to the storage until the beginning of December (and I am getting softer here).

Spoiler Adam was mentioned I think once or maybe twice in half a sentence as a random guy Jane fell in and out of love with when she was younger. The whole marriage backstory is the exact same "let's pretend this has been there all along even though we just came up with it" writing method crazy ex did with the Robert marriage. Ugh. And yes, the guy is a nightmare. Jane needs to get together with Rafael or professor hottie. And Petra should have a few more kids with Chuck and start a reality show called Soaring with the Solanos and Rogelio could be mad that he isn't in it instead of that stupid Darcy plot. Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Or am I sorry? If that was something you wanted I'm not sorry. okay we are in the middle, and Christmas stuff is admittedly early. Neither of those justify a 25C mid-October though. Ugh. Argh, I want to scratch my eyes out. This is so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
