yea, when I'm out of town I call my mom everyday as well, just to hi, if nothing else.

My sentiments exactly.
Even stranger is how most (but not all) of them have wives who seem to invent drama to report while they're away. Some examples:

"Your dog crapped on the living room carpet! What are you going to do about it?"

"You know that living room suit that we looked at but couldn't afford? I went ahead and bought it anyway, and the guys who delivered it took away our old stuff ("old" being 5 years and in perfect shape!) for free."

"Your son is failing math!" (A 70% on one early-term pop quiz is not "failing".)

I had no idea you were writing a novel! Tell us about it!

Sooo you guys think it's OK if I whip Christer real good then? He works out of town a lot and it's actually he who insists that we talk on the phone every night. First when he gets back to the hotel and then once more when he's back from having dinner or been at the pub. Not that I mind though.

That's fine.
But you don't strike me as the type to take every call home from Christer as an opportunity to make him miserable while he's out of town.

If I was that kind of type we'd most likely be divorced by now since he's out of town a lot.

What's wrong with this thread? It's not like it's possible to stray offtopic seeing as this thread has no topic

Well, you'd hope that she would do something about it, otherwise she's gonna be treading in shit an awful lot before he gets home!

Oh my god, this is why I would never leave a woman alone in my house!

What's with the 'your' bit? Didn't she have some part in his creation? And 70% would be a supremely high pass in this country!

Well, it's a kind of fantasy novel for teenagers that I've been writing on and off for a couple of years now. I thought I'd send it off to some agents to see what they thought. First reply said it didn't 'click' with them, cheers for the helpful feedback guys! I've written a couple of short stories which I'm hoping are going to be published on some websites shortly too. My next novel's gonna be an adult comedy about a couple of swingers

I agree that the sex talk should be in another thread. My intention with the whipping-comment had nothing at all to do with sex. More like a joke about a punishment for having to talk on the phone every night.

RLacey · 08-02-2006, 08:11 AM

I was referring to the discussion of seebsie's novel. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten that I read a chapter of a book between loading the page and replying to Sage's comment, during which time two other replies had been made.

Don't give up. Even Astrid Lindgren was refused in the beginning. (Serves those publishers right.

This reminds me, I actually watched an episode of Baywatch last night.

It was just as cheesy as I remembered, and I had a good chortle.

And who are you?

Where do these things come from? Shoo! Shoo! I told that to the last one! On your way now, there's nothing here for you!

Good riddance and don't you come back! That goes for all of you. Now go away and don't you dare to come back!

Feel free to check any other thread though.
