Cool

First Love from Silhouette books. Did anyone besides me read these with the passion and intensity only a 12-year-old could muster? I held on to most of mine, but I always pick them up if I see them at a thrift store. For Christmas, Andy got 20 of them for me from some guy on e-bay...I nearly wept. I'm going to put up a page for them sometime, because they deserve to be showcased. They are fine literature and will be treated as such.

As long as we're on the subject, I'll tell you that I'm looking for my favorite...I don't remember the title, but the guy's name was Bryan Baylor. They went to school in Florida somewhere, and their school colors were green and gold. He and the girl started dating and were afraid of "going too far" so she had a talk with her mom, who gave them pointers for staying in control. Oh no, I'm not lying. This is a book I not only enjoyed, but want to own again. Please. Help me.

Not

Tara Reid seems dumb. Whenever I see pictures of her she always has her mouth slightly open and her head cocked. She'd have been a better puppy than an actress. Poof! Go away!

The following jokes are not funny any more. Please retire them immediately:

• Fruitcake jokes (ha ha, they're heavy. ha ha, people give them away at Christmas.) Oh. Oh. You're hurting me. Stop it.
• "You'll have a perfect life with a white picket fence and 3.2 children."
• Calling people "pond scum" was funny once, when Diane Chambers said it on Cheers. It's not funny anymore.
• From a gentle reader: jokes related to TV; specifically Millionaire-related questions like "Is that your final answer" and "Can I phone a friend?"
• Suggestions?
