On the topic of names, H and I have decided on Catherine, to be called Cate, should we have a girl. Catherine is what his mother wanted to name a daughter, but she never had one. And for some reason, while I like the name okay, I like Cate much better, so that is what we would always call her.
Also, I love Ingrid, and Virginia was suggested to me (in a game played at my bridal shower) by a friend who is from Virginia. She said nickname should be Ginny, but I'm with you, joy, I like Ginna!
I call my niece Kath.erine, Rin.nie. Everyone but her mom (SIL) hates it. It's not a serious nickname but the level of raginess it creates with my sister and stepmom is hysterical.
It's not funny ragey doesn't describe how annoyed I now am
Yes! In a grand metaphor of Christian growth, he becomes good and is crowned King Edmund the Just and has a long rule in Narnia. He dies tragically with Peter and Lucy in a train crash in book 7. For some reason only Susan survives. All four are revived in Narnia aka heaven after death, however.
CS Lewis was weird.
Edmund is a beautiful name and I love that it recalls Narnia! Magical.
SPOILER Alert!!!! GEEEEZE I had never read them and was reading through with my kid. #ANGER
Oh sorry haha. Honestly I'm not giving much away. A lot of cool stuff happens before as far as I remember.
Oh Fuckie Mack would def be a farter, so it works.
So my maiden name starts with an F and H's last name is Carder. He begged me to mesh our names so we could be the Farders. Because he's obviously still 12.
DH gets mad that his last name isn't Cox. My middle name is Rose.

My cousin had the last name Cox, her mom gave her a misspelled Sharon as a first name...
Exactly! I HATED the ending when it aired, but after re-watching the whole series twice more (and my favorite episodes over and over), I've come to accept it. I loved Alexander Petrovsky and was annoyed with how they besmirched him in the end. I don't think he was the best match for Carrie in the long run, though. Also, Mikhail Baryshnikov was so sexy. Or am I the only one into old ballet dancers?
Edit: autocorrect is obnoxious
ETA: I can't believe you just called Don Draper craggy, adorebel. I can't even.
1. Love the use of besmirched. Amen.
2. Ballet dancers, old and young, are hawt.
3. Sorrynorsorry about calling Don craggy. You know I love me some ken cosgrove...

Oooohhhh!!! Lucky you! I'm sad that I can never read them for the first time ever again. I'm on my tenth time through the series, second time with DD, first time with DS. They are my favoritest favorite series. What book are you on? Which order are you reading them in?
Also, knowing the info that was spoiled honestly won't change the experience very much for you. Promise. Enjoy!!

Thanks! adorebel, I am over it! I am having a spirited day it seems. It was only published 70 years ago...
Over the series, a bunch of other children get the chance to go to Narnia, too. As they age and mature, they are gradually no longer allowed to return. They are told to live in the world but keep the lessons they learned. Susan ultimately "falls from grace" as she becomes more concerned with Earthly matters.
When they are finally, uh, "called home" to Narnia by Aslan to participate in the Narnian judgement day, Susan is not among them.
Dammit starbuck. Why you gotta make me look bad in front of julia by being all profeshunal and using a spoiler?
lol how did I not see you guys talking about this.
But dang, girl, use the spoiler!
As juliayadda said, it's been 70 years! And joy asked! Geez and Whatever. I didn't give away any of the cool parts. Just eternal salvation. Snooze.
I sorta thought spoiler was unnecessary here, too. The series has been around a long time. But, then there's people who haven't read it, too. Sorry, Julia!

What's your favorite? I know more about beer than I ever wanted.
My favorite (though not actually Belgian) is Unibroue Maudite.
However, I almost never drink the same one twice. That one is relatively easy to find when I just want a go to. If I go to a bar, I always order a new one to try. I use the untappd app to keep track of them all. We have a ton of local places that serve 30+ beers on tap, and even more bottle companies, so there is a lot of experimenting. The McChouffe is always a leader, pretty much no matter which one we get. I also like to stick to quads or tripels, or belgian strong darks when I can find them.
Unibroue Trois Pistoles & Fin du Monde are some of my faves!
Our realtor calls me Shannon. She is seen my actual name in writing many, many names but still calls me the wrong name. I really do not get it at all.
And RE: nicknames. I am all for nicknames if people want them but I think it is rude to just automatically call someone by a nickname. People call DH Chris constantly even after he tells them he goes by Christopher. I think it is important to call people what they want to be called.
I agree and this brings me to another point and possible UO. Why don't we call some countries what they named themselves? Like, Germany calls itself Deutschland - why don't we call it that? They named themselves, they are the authority on what they should be called! It is very random, too. We are fine with Columbia or Costa Rica, which are Spanish, but we have English versions of others, like Danmark/"Denmark" and Italia/"Italy". It makes no sense!
Not fine with Columbia, because that is a city in SC. We are fine with ColOmbia with an O, because that is my country of origin.

*Popular* Opinion -
Between juliayadda's #TBT post, bunnyfungo's announcement, and the literary/beer talk in UO, this has been one kick-ass day in GKU! And I was busy as hell, so I missed a ton of it.
