Gee, what does that remind me of? "Can't you feminists take a joke?" I truly appreciate you taking the concerns on the previous thread into consideration. I am now officially excited to go and preorder this book! Congrats Amanda. Phoenician in Roman Times said:

Show up early enough on Tuesday or Thursday and we'll drag you out to a trivia game afterwards.
