      2. For sure. (I was thinking of several of my nieces and nephews, who suffer in the Winter from psoriasis badly. Your description brought it to mind.) Frostbite’s bad enough.

  5. Dorothy Dunnet’s hero, her main character in the eponymous Crawford of Lymond series, has hands that are totally beat up ever since the battle of Flodden, which he fought in when he was fifteen. I always fantasized about those scarred, sensitive hands….

  6. Maybe I’ll do a post, “Fictional Characters I have Loved”. Nah, it probably wouldn’t interest anybody. But I treasure the moment when I was talking to my daughter, about ten at the time. I asked her if she liked the main characters of her books to be boys or girls. She said, and I agreed: it’s more fun to have a boy hero that you can fall in love with!

    2. “Fictional Characters I have Loved” I Love this, Hypatia, and I would love to read such a post! I was in love with Rhett Butler, from Gone With the Wind, before that book got banned, lol 🙂

      4. No, Rhett Butler had plenty of money-Scarlett married him for his money, but continued to pine after Ashley. Rhett was way cooler than Ashley.

        I take it, Simon, that you have never read the book? Lol 🙂

      6. LOL 🙂 No, Rhett was just as High Society as Ashley was. The only possible explanation is that Scarlett pined after Ashley simply because she knew that she could not have him. She could totally have Rhett, and because of that, he was less appealing to her? So dumb 🙂

      15. LOL 🙂 All chix are different from Scarlett, hopefully. She was a bitch, excuse my French, but there is no other way to say it 🙂

    1. I could never get into James Bond. I never read the books, and tried to watch the movies, but could just never get into them. I think they are guy movies 🙂

  8. I met one in Paris, France (not the island). She couldn’t have possibly been more contemptuous and condescending.
    Her disdain from first sight of me knew no bounds and continued to expand throughout the evening.

      1. It’s a hierarchy game they play that doesn’t impress me much. I had to threaten some steet tuffs later that night to protect her precious self.

        Nanda has heard bits of that story from another witness.
