This woman should parp herself!

[monkeytrousers]

parp!parp!parp!FGS!!

Astonishing the lengths some people will go to when promoting their novels
Bet we'll all clock it on the display now

PMSL!

OK, first, his publicity photo was obviously taken about 15 yrs ago.

Second, and this is not their fault, he reminds me of a friend's dh, and believe it or not, she says similar things about him. Not about putting her ds after her dh, but about him being so hot that she can't imagine how bad it must be for us mere mortals who have regular husbands. My theory (based on years of observation): her dh is gay. He's a screaming queen.

Third, as others have said, she's a nutty American who's after a reputation. Just like good ole Julie B, she mistakes a ragbag of barely-concealed put-downs and puff-ups as contention and controversy.

She looks old and rough and he looks sooooo gay They are tragic

Woman is a nutter, they are both mingers and I feel sorry for the kids.

lol sober!

LIke Aloha,I'm trying to dislodge the thought of his 'full round bottom'so that I can get on with my (until now) pleasant Sunday evening.

Yet another 'writer' trying to start a debate.

Yawn......

full round bottom = fat arse.
What a load of cowpats that woman has written.

sobernow writes mills n boon dontcha know

Where are these M+T groups where people do nothing but discuss their sex lives? Why haven't I been to any of them?

I am 99% convinced that DH would leave me if I ever discussed his penis in public.

Does anyone else think her hubby is very creepy looking?

quote-
"Except that when I catch a glimpse of my husband from the corner of my eye - his smooth, round shoulders, his bright blue eyes through the magnification of his reading glasses, the curls of hair on his chest - I fold over the page of my novel. Sometimes I think I am alone in this obsession with my spouse."

BLEUGH!!!!!! talk about a Mills & Boon novel.

vile - i haven't parped anybody yet, but she does deserve parping on a major level.

parp parp parp parp.

I read Sobernow's passage (ahem) first and then though omg, what can this thread be about, best read it. Hmm, the woman who wrote the article is odd, definitely.

The Guardian need a talking to imo.

I love my kids, more than life, but I am not 'in love with them' because to me, that is a term for romantic, adult love and for me is quite inappropriate to describe the mother child bond - because of the image the phrase conjours in me of romance, sex, etc - to use that term when talking about my kids would feel too bizarre!!

The love I feel for my kids is so totally different from the love I feel for my husband that it is actually impossible for me to measure them against each other. Kind of like saying I prefer the colour pink to the smell of bacon iyswim!!!! (completely different sensory experiences!)

This thread is vintage MN, especially all the snurking about his insteps. I agree with the rest of me, she sounds barking and very insecure.

just looked at the piccie of them, words fail me to be honest- i was expecting some rippling hunk - not some bon jovi wannabe. And she needs a visit from trinny and her sidekick. and she looks shagged out- so does he.

Ah yes, he does look gay. And she looks desperate. Poor kids.

Full round bottom....no, can't get it out of my head. Nor those mysteriously alluring insteps...insteps??
Sometimes I look at my husband, tousled head bent over the new orthotics that arrived yesterday for his flat feet, and think, 'hmmm, have we got enough bread for tomorrow'.

Just inspected DH's insteps and I'm alarmed to discover how hairy they are!
Maybe this is how she makes sure no-one else is having sex! DH ain't on no promise till that sight's gone out my head!

Sounds like this woman has attachment problems, and whilst not being a "bad" mother, doesn't sound like she really enjoys parenting. I would really wonder what would happen to her if anything did happen to her dh. It's great to hear that they have a good relationship (although it sounds like one long boast to me) but it does sound all consuming. Now I know this is how some people are, and perhaps it is lucky that there are four children, so that they all can share their experiences and get security together, as they are unlikely to get it from their mum. However, I know a few people that have lost children, and it is a completely devastating life changing thing to happen. You can see the damage many many years later. However, losing a husband (through death or divorce) is not actually that unusual, and many people go on to find another and continue to live happy lives. Of course in the past losing children was also normal, but this really isn't the case any more.

That kind of devotion terrifies me to be honest. Sounds more like obsession than love. But worse as they have children.

God, I just can't get the weirdness out of my head. Yuck.

LOL Aloha!

I know..lubricant??..sex toys??? Dear me woman, PARPPPP!!!!
