Like the time I hauled him along, and he said it made him wonder when a convicted murderer, out on parole, gave him that "prison yard stare" and asked me, "He been treating you right?"KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-68814738682669983612016-02-22T14:42:26.400-05:002016-02-22T14:42:26.400-05:00Well, Gloria, at least you won't be the automa...Well, Gloria, at least you won't be the automatic first suspect if one of them dies suspiciously.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-64909026902577970142016-02-22T14:30:14.362-05:002016-02-22T14:30:14.362-05:00Linda, I absolutely, love, love, love this blog.

I know my sisters sometimes try to shut me up when we're on vacation and I come up with an idea and talk about how to murder someone. And more than one person has commented on the books of poisons, especially poisonous plants I have on my library shelf.<br />I must say that my son did willingly pose for a dead body for the cover of my first book, and when I came up with a new and very unusual way to murder the victim in my current book I'm working on, my sister said no way could that be done, and my son said not only could it be done that way, but told me in detail how. Maybe I ought to watch out for him. :-)Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-42818111267055844372016-02-22T12:21:04.650-05:002016-02-22T12:21:04.650-05:00Kait, it sounds like you two are a match made in h...Kait, it sounds like you two are a match made in heaven.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-77500205314678472052016-02-22T12:03:16.583-05:002016-02-22T12:03:16.583-05:00Oh, this is so true!

When I took my husband to the Writer's Police Academy he thought it was great that he had an audience interested in learning the offence and defence tactics of his particular branch of the martial arts. I understand (I was not in the bar at the time) that demonstrations were involved. My own search history would sink me in so many ways. Oh, that same husband, when we were dating, he told me he gave serious thought to asking me out again after he came to my house and found my bookshelves littered with poison books.

This morning a friend who is staying over told me how much she enjoyed the lock picking section of 110 Deadly Skills, the Navy SEAL's handbook.<br />My online search history mystifies even me! I can't understand how my searches into forensics somehow lead to email solicitations from J Date, Senior Date, and Hot Russian Ladies. <br />I was searching remote prisons last weekend. I wonder what that will bring.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-86482423016278315482016-02-22T10:27:52.949-05:002016-02-22T10:27:52.949-05:00I would be in trouble if Judy was killed by a bree...I would be in trouble if Judy was killed by a breech-loading single shot rifle.
