i just got to watch it late last night finally ... i had been avoiding this thread like the plague until now! OMG ALCIDE ... DROOOOOOOOOOOOL debbie pelt (brit morgan) appears in the next ep. i am scared for her conservative aunt/my boss, lol. she is prob going to faint when she sees the shit her precious little niece is going to do in that role! first mention of her, they say she's "banging cooter" hahaha and i thought the head spin was kinda gay. especially since she could still talk. i get that they're immortal but that should have still been a devastating injury that she needed to heal from, no?

thanks for the loan offers, but i was thinking i'd ask for the whole set of them since i'll be on vacay for a week with nothing pressing to do but sit and read by the lake. the books seem like they're the kind you blow thru with ease, so i'll definitely need more than one!

i had no doubt, linds. in fact, i may have seen it.

well i don't know her ... never met. but i know her aunt is my boss, and that she's from marlton, nj. i was gonna ask for the books for my bday (bc i never know what to tell people i want), but now i'm kinda dying to read them already! think i can wait a month?

all i know is i can't wait for alcide. please let him be in the next episode, k thanks. also, i am dying to see my boss's niece (brit morgan) playing debbie pelt. i have seen a few images of her in the show and they somehow made her look like a serious hot mess with dark red hair (when in reality she's this cute little blonde, whom no one thought could pull off this role). my poor boss is going to die bc she is super conservative and i just *know* the kinda stuff that will be involved in her niece's role, even without reading the books, lol.

BAHAHAHAHA! CONFESSION: i'm pretty sure i can't get my feet behind my head either.

this isn't buff enough, jenn?

HAHAHAHA rachel! you're too funny! i didn't really know who he was either. apparently he should be bald as quinn (? i dunno i never read the books) so here he is with a bald head like he had in the movie "hitman." and with hair:

lol jenn, just call her for pointers while in the act ... "hi, your son is trying to impregnate me right now ... should i put my feet behind my head? does that help?" bahahahaha ILs are super meddling when it comes to the baby stuff. it doesn't help that i turn 38 next month and they think i'm running out of time. now we just tell everyone we plan to adopt an asian baby.

someone on another board suggested timothy olyphant

well it just said that's who charlaine harris "envisioned" for quinn, not who'd actually end up playing him. without knowing anything about the character since i haven't read the books, i actually think any of those big name actors would seem out of place on the show.

Quinn - a la Charlaine Harris - Photo - True Blood

holy HOT vampire, jacqui!!! who *wouldn't* let you bite them?! hot hot hot! amy, i love that you got *that* into character! loved your costumes!

i think i'm going to ask for the books for my bday since i'll be on vacay at a mountain house that week ... need some good reads for sitting out by the lake! now i wanna know who quinn is!

I thought they do it after? I'm still debating whether to get married at a JP before we leave to save on $ or wait. We are arriving the 4 days before to make it legal, but seems like a lot of work for something to go wrong. Any advice would be great! i had the legal ceremony at dreams cancun and it was easy ... not a lot of "work" at all. there is the added associated expenses, but they were worth it to me in order to have my wedding day be my ACTUAL wedding day. you have a short meeting with your WC a few days beforehand. they will need your necessary documentation (passport/birth certificate ... i forget what exactly but it was no biggie), and both the two of you AND your 4 witnesses will need to have the residency requirement and provide your tourist cards and sign some stuff (marriage application, etc.). again, it's a short meeting, no biggie (my witnesses were actually raucously drunk during this meeting as we fetched them from the swimup bar, lol). the blood test gets scheduled for early the next morning usually, and literally is the quickest, most painless blood test ever. a doc and a security escort come right to your room to do it and it takes seconds. show ID, sign something, get a teeny vial drawn ... DONE! seriously i have never had a blood draw so quick and painless ... maybe my blood was thin from all the liquor, lol! oh and on that note, there are no restrictions on what you can eat/drink the night before. but yes, you and your husband sign your marriage certificate (in triplicate) and provide your thumbprints DURING the ceremony. then each of your four witnesses is called up and they each need to sign in triplicate. it will take 5-10 minutes of your ceremony time to do so (which is why i suggested providing songs to play during this time). however, the ceremony is absolutely, positively IN ENGLISH. that is literally why i got married in mexico and not dominican republic. of course the judge had an accent but he was fluent in english and not difficult to understand. i have to mention though that when i got married i was told i was NOT allowed to change the legal part of the ceremony at all, but i could add readings/sand ceremony/etc. it took 6 months post-wedding for my translated legal documents to arrive, only to find out that NJDMV will not accept translations done anywhere but a few agencies that they use. so i still haven't changed my name just bc i don't feel like dealing with the hassle and it's not that important to me to change it. i'm legally married whether my name ever changes or not, kwim? anyway what you can get away with seems to vary greatly by state and even county. good luck girls! sorry for the novel but i hope it was helpful. when i had my legal wedding at DC i was pretty much the only one ... everyone did symbolic ... so there was no one to talk to about this stuff!

seriously bring on alcide already! joe mangiello is megahot.

i think i almost peed myself laughing when *sookie* even made fun of the way bill says sookie! mmmmmmm eric.

cream cheese frosting : drool

i think i'm a loner at heart. it drives me crazy to have to come home from work (late) to a house full of people (all my in-laws usually) ALL the time. my husband is *constantly* inviting people over our house and THEN telling me, when it's too late to say i'd rather not have company.

i will be happy : with my girls in canada!

you're not alone, lisa! i gained 30 lbs in the year since my wedding, and just keep saying i need to do something about it ... yet no motivation whatsoever. not even the fact that i am about to go hot-tubbing with a bunch of skinny biatches from the SB at mander's house. ugh ... bathing suit ... kill me now.

so, did everyone watch the season premiere?! i am still laughing over a few of the great quotes. no spoilers, since it just aired last night ... i'm sure some people missed it!

yeah heather, i still wear both bras all the time, whenever i don't want straps to show. i am old and saggy-boobed, so going braless is never an option for me, lol! i am between a C and D and this is literally the first strapless bra (other than a full corset-type longline bra) that i haven't had to hike up. NEVER. not once. and when linds met me in chicago, she kept remarking, "those are some perky boobs, cougs" and i kept insisting it was just the bra, haha (it was!). THIS was the bra!

oooh i second the cacique bra recommendation! i bought two of these: http://www.lanebryant.com/cacique/br...65-82099182030 before my wedding to use during the week with sundresses and such and they *really* hold the girls up! i can't say whether you'll find one that comes down low enough in the back to wear with a wedding dress ... these have a clear panel for the middle of the back, but that's not good enough for a wedding. good luck!
