Thread #6 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice   

Because we know drypen's watching

Help !!!
 I just downloaded an update for my iPad..iOS 8 and now everything on my iPad is seriously screwed up. Every time I get alerts from the various pts forums I have joined I click on the email and I have to sign in every time.
I mean even if I'd just signed in and hop out to visit another site on pts it asks me to sign in EVERY time. When I sign in it takes me to the general forum where I have to then search for the particular site I want to visit.
I have some pts sites saved on my home page now they are all blank.....wtf happened.
Please tell me someone out there knows how to fix this. I have the tech capability of a toddler, so please as Jake said, dumb it down for me if you have a possible fix.

Thanks

If you go to the home page on PTS and scroll down to the Technology Board, you can ask your questions there.  We have a number of techno geeks who hang out there who might be able to help you.

After reading If I Stay/Where She Went and before I read book 3 of the All Souls Trilogy I needed a little something different...  so I'm reading The Sheik Retold.  LOL I think this classifies as a bodice ripper?

I'm only a little ways in, but so far I'm not impressed with the writing.  But I guess after reading Gayle Forman this author doesn't stand a chance.

It sounds awful! 'A savage son of the Sahara...'! And racist....   If you want a BR then read one by Judith McNaught...

Can anyone recommend a Bella/Edward story? I'd prefer a bad boy Edward and maybe some angst.

that's too bad he was too insecure. I bet you'd be a great nurse. I wonder if you can still take them.  I don't know how the education system works there. I am figuring the pay is better for the work.  One of my nurses was an Aussie.  So I thought of Astro.  She was great. Mostly no nonsense but with a sense of humor.

Thanks hun, I don't know if I'd make a good nurse or not but I like being HCA atm (doing pretty much the same work as a nurse, but with less responsibilities  )

I might reconsider when Saxon and Dior are both in school as I'd have to start all over again as everything I did before (everything except the last 2 exams) doesn't count any more as rules and regs have changed.

I was forever being asked after by families apparently as their relatives mentioned how nice I've been to them in the night.
Though I've not been at work for over a year, I still pop and to see peeps and even the residents with dementia kind of remember me. 
The hubby reckons it's cos we're on the same wavelength. 

I find most Aussie Drs/Nurses etc are like that and among some of the best to be cared by when you're stuck in hospital.
I wonder how Astro's doing, miss her. 
 

I never read the second one.   Was it worth reading?

It's been ages since I read it, but I really liked it but I do like a good male POV. 
If I remember rightly, it's not just a re-hash of The Lonely either.
 

I remembered the rain! I just forgot the expression  Which reminds me have you sorted your flood defences? It looks like its going to be another rainy winter...

Oh! I forgot, has anyone read Jane Harvey-Berrick's Dazzled? Miles is rather a tosser, isn't he? 

As you know we're slowly moving back into our place and as the contractors are still about we've asked them to sort out extra drainage around our bungalow, the say it'll be all done by Christmas. But this is contractors so I figure they mean Christmas 2015. 
The local council was meant to start dredging the rivers around our way, but we've not seen anythng done yet so me and the hubby have been helping local farmers do that today actually - gave me an excuse to wear my waders which have been in my parents attic for the last 10+ year - sexy. 
 

One more thing, Loopy, I begged for Rob's Dior pics featured earlier as part of my sig. Is it possible for you to add them? Thanks you

I completely forgot hun. 
Let me know which ones you want as I've loads of Dior pics/gifs and I'll add them to your sig. 

Do these have an HEA for EXB?

Well, that's up for debate. And we've debated the ending for Dustry endlessly.
For High Anxiety,

Ok, so I just skimmed the last chapter of Dusty

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Like I said, endlessly debated.  You have my opinion - hopeful.  You can search Dusty for some of the earlier discussions, although this story comes up so often you'll get a lot of hits.

  It's the most amazing fic  but the angst level is off the charts.   Doesn't have a typical HEA but like someone else said I think it was a positive ending.   Hopeful.  Yes!   I love this fic.

I feel your pain on apple frustration! I'm fairly new to Apple, I bought my first ipod a couple of years ago, and did the bare minimum to get it going. So my library was a total mess, with songs from my Zune library, and from Windows Media Player, and whatnot. So I decided to start fresh, put all my music in one place, and delete and reinstall itunes.

NOW, it says my ipod is already linked to another itunes library, and I can't seem to add music to the ipod without completely erasing it first. SO frustrating! And confusing. Zune was much easier, why did Microsoft discontinue those!?

Thank you, I tried that and hope I get a reply soon.

I can't even respond to multiple postings!!!! I am so fU****g frustrated.

Loopy, Rob at the piano and any other that I can see his beautiful face. I'm fricking mad so I need something beautiful to look at.
I can't even open spoilers!!!

I updated to 8.0.2 without an apparent issue. But I also use Chrome. I haven't done the most recent update they have because I have to plug it into my desktop. 

And? I mostly visit here on my android phone.

I wish someone would start a dusty thread so we can discuss without spoiler code.  ;-)   you guys know you want to discuss!

What is there left to say?! It been talked to death and caused more arguments than any fic written, it feels like. I'd say go to the Dusty group on Facebook (they're still all 'talking'), but I really like you Kim so I won't.
