I've never heard of that either. Co-parenting is typically when the couple is not together but are still working together to raise their child. If it's a spouse, then you simply say "This is my spouse." or husband/wife or partner or whatever...I've heard the term co-parenting of course, but has anyone ever heard of one's spouse (not ex-spouse) being introduce as such? As in "Hi. This is my co-parent." I found it odd. Or maybe I'm just odd for finding it odd. Shit, I don't know
"This is my co-parent?" That's just weird.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
If someone said that to me I honestly think I would just walk away from them and not talk to them again... that's just fucking weird.That's kinda what I was thinking.I've never heard of that either.

I was invited today by AMC to watch the pilot episode of NOS4A2. Zachary Quinto was present and interviewed after the episode. I must say that the first episode was up to my expectatives, which were already high. VERY promising!
Extra points for the main actress. That smile just drove me crazy

^ What a fun experience, Ari! Also I’m glad your review of the show is positive.

Sigh!!!
Today I got a call from my neighbor telling me my Garage door was open and so was my back door and he could see some electrical cords loose from the tv. Told him to call the police and called them myself and rushed home.
Sure enough I was robbed. It is weierd what they took and didn't take.
They did take 18 of my Stephen King books. I have 4 billy bookcases from Ikea. They only took books from one of them (as far as I can tell so far). It was the case with all my 1st/1st. They took about 80% of the top shelf, and about 50% of the 2nd shelf. I have to books arranged chronologically.
Here is a list of the books they stole:
Spoiler:
Here is a picture of the selves after the scumbag thieves picked through it:
Spoiler:
One of the books stolen was Night Shift. The was the very first book I bought from David at Betts. It was also the book that completed my 1st/1st collection (at the time). It had a bookplate in it, that David sent me a picture off before I agreed to buy it. So this book should be unique if it hits the market:
Granted, if someone puts it on ebay, I am sure they won't include a picture of it.
Its weird that they left Salem's Lot behind and all the paperback Bachman books. Maybe since they were paperback, they thought it was not valuable. But why spend the time to cherry pick?
Also, all the books taken where in an aftermarket slipcase from either the Collector or Jeff Willey.
Ok, back to wondering what else they took but I don't know yet.

Sorry to hear that, hope they get caught.
Ohhhhhhhhh Mike. I am so so sorry to hear that....I had a car broken into once and the feeling of violation was awful...Cannot imagine how you feel. I am truly sorry.Sigh!!!

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Awful. Sorry man.
very sorry to hear this.
Sorry to hear about this, Mike. Awful news.
Terrible news. Do you have any contacts within the local used bookstores to get the word out of the incident?
As many here will do the same, I'm happy to keep an eye out on eBay for you.

I truly feel for you. That's pretty devastating.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
That sucks.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
That's probably how the thief(s) made there decision.
Awful to hear that.

I'm sorry for your loss. You know, not many would be thieves would know about the value of books. I hate to say it but the theft could be the result of people in your social circle, however far removed. You may want to consider this when talking to the cops. Just a thought. I know you hate to consider something like that, but you never know until you know.Sigh!!!

Bill, that seems hard to believe. If the person was familiar with books, they would have taken the Rage, Cycle of the Werewolf, and the 'Salem's Lot over Misery and Danse Macabre. They just grabbed the stuff in slipcases.
Truly awful. So sorry this happened.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Not really if you think about it. I wasn't suggesting close friends or relatives, but further removed. Someone struggling with a drug problem would not be discerning. They just hear that so and so has expensive books and they add it to the list. IDK it's just a thought. They wouldn't have left anything if they knew what they were doing.
So sorry to hear that Mike. I hope these guys slip up soon, and get caught.
Thanks everyone. The thing is right next to this book case is my bookcase with my entire CD collection including many lettered editions. Probably everything in my collection is in slipcases except the 1st/1st that Jeffy Willey hasn't gotten to, or CD has made one for.
I don't think it is someone in my social circle. I moved to Austin 3 years ago, and am somewhat of a loner, most of the people in my social circle are co-workers who are well off. I also have some frields I play Dungeons and Dragons with, but I have only mentioned my collection in passing to them, if at all, and none have seen them.
I think it might be a member (or spouse of) someone who cleaned my house recently. There was a team of about 6-8 maids doing a deep clean. I made it clear to not touch the books because they were valuable.
So here are more details of the robbery:
Spoiler:
I can only think they got spooked and left early, they could have done a lot more damage.
