we love Anne Rice here too. Actually when we met I was Akasha and my bf was Lasher. We used to chat about her books, and I guess that is how we fell in love.
How cool is that his real name is the same as the vampire who made Lestat and that Lestat is our fluffy baby??

Sorry it looks like were running away with your thread!
That is so awesome Elenore! I am a huge Anne Rice fan it is about all I read, or used to read. I have so many things to do these days I do not get to read much. My favorite are the VAmpire books this may sound odd but there romantic sort of. I do like the . I have a pretty good collection ( hard cover)that my ex-husband bought me they were the only thing I took with me when I left.
I actually have The Vampire Lestat in hard back that one took him forever to find. i am not trying to brag just trying to tell u that I am a huge fan as well.

I personally know of some very slender, gym-bodied people who are still on Atkins only because they follow the mantra that Atkins is a WAY OF LIFE and not just a DIET. If you understand this concept correctly, the diet becomes a part of who you are, and failure is not something you will encounter. Then it stops being a diet, instead its part of your own nutritional outlook on life.

AMEN TO THAT. Count me among those who have made this my nutrition for life. When I tell people I follow Atkins, they're like "you don't need to lose weight!" Well of course not .. because THIS IS HOW I EAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE....REGARDLESS.

Exactly Betty. A LOT of people dont seem to *get* that at all, and this is probably why there are still so many misconceptions about the diet. The other day, someone actually told me - how can you follow the diet made by a man who died of heart disease himself? Not only is that cruel and uneducated, but its this sort of stupidity thats given Atkins a bad rep in some quarters. The best thing to do is not involve in any comeback lines, but just do your diet and smile politely at everyone else.

BTW, I LOVE Lestat! He is by far my most favorite character. The new Rice books, esp Vittorio and Blood and Gold arent that good, but the originals are amazing. I still shudder when I read Queen of the Damned (RIP Aaliyah by the way).
