My grandmother, who passed away when I was 18, used to watch The Golden Girls with me all the time. I loved Estelle Getty like damn and whoa. I think I have a weakness for anyone who used to be a Catskills comedian, because I also rock a total crush on Fyvush Finkel like you have no idea.
Anyway, I can’t tell you how bummed I am that Getty passed away yesterday at 82. I used to picture Getty when I read the early Stephanie Plum novels as a sort of model for Grandma Mazur. For that reason, if you say the words “pesto” or “gumpy” to me, I will giggle like a fool.
ETA: Note to self - set the DVR for Friday, as Lifetime (which is normally “Television that Makes Sarah Screech") will air a Golden Girls marathon with the best of Sofia. I hope the pesto sauce makes it into the lineup.

Oops. Just re-read your comment on your site about the book-buyer, Kate. (Can’t imagine what distracted me from taking that in the first time. snort) Huh. Weird.
Anyway, my sister got me “How to Shit in the Woods”…
Just to throw in my 2 cents on the man-flank: Judging by your other covers, Kate, are you sure it was the skin that was the issue? I did notice that your name got un-stacked in the second version, and…
‘The Virgin Black-Footed Ferret’s Secret Baby.’
LMAO! I choked on my diet Coke!
Love that the bff is forever and indelibly associated with the romance novel. Brings a tear to me eye, it does.
I haven’t yet seen anyone making a comparison with this kind of fiction and D/S (domination/submission) relationships. Just because there’s no overt flogging or suchlike doesn’t make it any less kinky.
I have. I said on my own blog: …
I can see people’s mouths moving, so I believe they are supsoanposed to have soundtracks. But all I get is dead air. spamword is merely 89, as in How many times have i commented.
