It's another great fall weekend, perfect for watching football. So, who are you watching? Come in and cheer.

My boys, mercifully, have a bye week after very nicely letting Baylor score 147 points last weekend. Here's a random pic that cracks me up. Our coaches name is Holgorsen, check out what they call him under his quote.

My men are back this week after their bye. Facing the Jets....who have a better record than the Giants.....anyone else wanna talk about how weird this season is in the NFL? Oh, and a nod at my men.

What happened to them? 

Please help!

A dear friend of mine has been going through a very rollercoaster relationship with her maybe soon-to-be ex fiancee. I have been trying to stay neutral and out of it, but it seems that no matter what advice I suggest to her, in the end I feel inadequate because I don't know what she's going through. I've never been in a relationship, so the only sources I have are from observing past relationships, my friends and family have had, and what the media suggests is best (basically, I'm just going with my so-called common sense). It hurst me seeing her get hurt. I feel like the answer is simple, but again.....what do I know.

More inside. 

Taking advantage of Free for All...

I wanted to have a campfire dedicated to "Chick Lit."

Several years ago, there was a publishing company called Red Dress Ink.  They produced funny, witty, romantic femal-driven novels.  The company still exists but was bought out by Harlequin and frankly, I don't think the caliber of stories have been the same.

Come in and talk about your favourite chick lits.  What did you like most about the novel(s)?  Why do you recommend it?

p.s. I have an ulterior motive.  I'm actually looking for something new to read.  Something funny and witty and if it's got romance thrown in then all the better.

Welcome to the weekly

Feed Your E-Reader Campfire!!

Quenching your thirst for more books!!! 

Share all the fabulous deals you've found online this week, and let your fellow campers know the very best picks. And if you grab a book linked in this CF, please let the poster know as well.

Also, please do feed a tree, while you're here. They're thirsty too.

So, my sassy toddler is competing in the 2013 Glare-Off contest put on by Mommy Shorts. You may have seen this on the Today Show last year. The winners were terrifying. The photo I entered is of my now-toddler before her 1st birthday. I felt it really showed her glare in its beginning stages, surrounded by Halloween-appropriate zombie gore. Votes do NOT determine the finalists that will be chosen at the end of October, but they do help. Certainly they don't hurt.

If you're so inclined, go check out my little lady and the competition and 'vote' (click the photos that you like!) for her or anyone. It'd be really neat for her to win, but it's mostly just fun. :) I've even 'voted' for some of the competition because there are some pretty fierce glares there!

Have you ever entered your kids in any competitions? Did they win? Were you super competitive or laid back about it?

freeforall is here

do feed a tree whilst here, won't you?

**** Spoilers Inside, Enter at your own risk***

So, who watched American Horror Story last night?

What were your thoughts?

How 'bout that cast, eh? Bunch of big names this time around, from Angela Bassett to Kathy Bates to Emma Roberts...

Do you think it should come with some kind of a trigger warning? Because, I mean. Last night. Wow. Not sure how I feel about that. Was it even necessary?

*Spoilers inside. Read at your own risk.*

Hello again and welcome to Comicamp! This week is pretty straight forward: your favorite superhero fanfiction!

Do you have recs for us? Share them! Are you dying to find some good comic fanfiction? Just ask - someone is bound to know something!

Personally I would love a good Man of Steel fanfic....

So don't be shy!

The times they are a-changin. Fic is definitely slowing down these days, and I really miss the olden times when everyone got excited about an update. I miss the controversy about plot developments, and the storyline speculation, and all the pretty banners, so on and so forth.

But then I remembered that Twific isn't the only free, serialized fiction available on the internet. I recently discovered this AWESOME webcomic. I've never really read a webcomic before, or actually comics in general, but it's pretty fun, and a WIP.

It's called PLUME: http://plumecomic.com/?id=1 Gotta love some western/fantasy/romance

But the point is, what have you turned to after Twific (well, not after, necessarily, but as the fandom slows down)? Have you joined another fandom? How about original fiction like Plume? I'm super curious.

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!
