I read The Handmaid's Tale a looooong time ago, but I sometimes flip through it again.  I thought it was brilliant, and so timely with what happened in Iran and Afghanistan.  Remember, it was published in the last century when those events (or maybe before those events) were new.  Not to mention the politics in the US where so many politicians seem to want to strip women of their rights.

Well ladies - keep hoping Lindsey Lohan straightens her life around (or keeps it on its present rocky path).  As of now she has one more reason to not show up anywhere on time, etc.


Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized For Chikungunya Virus After Mosquito Bite

 By Daniel Gates | 1:37 pm, January 21st, 2015

 Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized in London with a rare virus after being bitten by a mosquito while vacationing in Bora Bora. She has since been released. The actress is being treated for Chikungunya, her rep has confirmed to Gossip Cop. The illness, which is spread to humans by mosquitos, causes fever and fatigue. It also results in joint pain that can last from weeks to years.

 There were reports that Lohan was being kept at King Edward VIIs Hospital, suffering from a high fever and severe joint pain. However, Gossip Cop learned that Lohan is not currently staying at the facility; weve heard that her treatment was outpatient. On Wednesday, Lohan tweeted several times about modifying the website for a British youth volunteering project, and made no mention of being ill or currently in a hospital.

 The star was in Bora Bora over the holidays before flying to Los Angeles and then London. Shortly before New Years, the actress reportedly began experiencing symptoms of Chikungunya. Upon her return to the United Kingdom, her pain became so bad she had trouble walking. There is no specific treatment for the illness, although medication and rest can help reduce symptoms. Gossip Cop will have updates and wishes Lohan well on her recovery

I thought it was dengue.
We have dengue here. Similar sintoms. I always wanted to catch it to loose some weight. Lol

There are some older Edward/younger Bella and older Bella/younger Edward stories.

I just finished A Handmaid's Tale.  Yikes!  It was intense. I don't even know what to think.

Hey everyone so I'm hoping that maybe I can get a few responses on here...

I'm looking for fics or published books about a few things.

I remember reading a fic where Bella had Jaspers/Emmetts(not sure) baby BUT she ended up with Edward. I think it is called 'snapshot' anymore that could be recommended??

Can anyone recommend any good Bella kidnapped (either by a parent/someone else) fanfictions? I've read 'Dark Waltz' and 'The Rapture' already... anymore?



NEXT, I'm not sure if anyone has read If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch: A broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence, with the one bright spot being Carey’s younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.

Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won’t let her go… a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn’t spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down.

My question is has anyone read something like this? Another example could be PrettyGirl13 by Liz Coley

There's the one that Bella goes missing for 7 years.....I read it fairly recently but i think i forgot to mark it 'read' so finding it now amongst thousands of fics will be a nightmare! off to 152 to source the name.......

Our Yellow House by CaraNo, Bella is kidnapped in it and it was pretty good.
