Since I've been requested to open up the confessional booth, here is an article for whoever wants to confess their sins and receive penance (up to and including spanking by the moderator)

You MIGHT be able to read this, but as of right now, it seems like the Vine is broken. No article names, no summaries, no comments. YIKES!!!

And yes, this is Meta, but I can only see the group "All of Newsvine" and am reticent to uncheck that for fear that NO ONE will see this at all!

SPOILER ALERT!!

OK, West Coast feed starts in a few minutes. So far all I've seen is the sneak preview and that ALONE was awesome! Maleficient becomes the dragon! Emma believes (fina-fricken-ly!) and discovers the dragon!

Also from the rumors I've heard Sheriff Hot Pants (aka the hottest dead guy on television) makes an appearance in flashbacks.

So...thoughts? Reactions? Anyone else want to start season two immediately?

This Sunday we set aside a day supposedly to honor mothers. Yet my friend reminded me recently about the truth of this day. The mom doesn't get a day off, which would make the most sense. NO!! We have to plan any activity, make sure everyone is dressed (including any "adult child", AKA husband) and solve any problems that come up, just like every other day of the year.

So this year I want to stand with other mothers who are tired of this fake holiday. BAH HUMBUG to Mother's Day!!

As always -- SPOILERS ahead!!

So...August's identity is revealed and Regina is making moves on David (ick?!?). Two episodes left in the season!!

OK, I think TPTB at Once Upon a Time are just playing with us now. Motorcycle Man in the title card, Rumplestiltskin-centric episode, then with 10 minutes to go the revelation that he ISN'T Baelfire?!? I mean really? I'm hoping that the direction they're going with next week's episode is his real identity.

Oh and BTW -- as always SPOILER ALERT!!!

I found this quote in my online explorations and it spoke to me:

      “I believe that there is no such thing as conversion from one faith to another in the accepted sense of the word. It is a highly personal matter for the individual and his God. I may not have any design upon my neighbour as to his faith, which I must honour even as I honour my own. Having reverently studied the scriptures of the world I could no more think of asking a Christian or a Musalman, or a Parsi or a Jew to change his faith than I would think of changing my own.”
     “Our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian.”
      (M. K. Gandhi)

For all you Princess Bride aficionados out there

OK, I've been detached from civilization for a week and I know I missed a lot. Thomas Kinkaid and Mike Wallace died while I was gone (which is weird, since Tim Russert died back when I was on my first Disney cruise...)

What else have I missed?

**links to articles are OK for this ONE article only -- if you are a spammer or malicious poster though I will delete you and send your ID to Tyler and Sally and they will send you to a place warmer than I just got back from -- and I don't mean Alpha Centauri either!**

Tyler asked me to write this via email before he pulls the trigger on my suspension. He has told me that I've gone over the line repeatedly and my chances are up. No longer will I be able to rile all of you up with my double entendres and innuendoes. I need to remain as completely balanced as Fox News and Keith Olbermann from here on out.

I apologize to all of you for any distress I may have caused over the past years. I will not appeal this suspension and accept it fully. See you in a week.
