Joyce Maynard, who sold her letters from J.D. Salinger? What a dreadful choice!
Can you squeeze out a positive comment just once?
Not about the choice of Joyce. Maynard's life and work are fascinating, but selecting her as an inspiration for "making a home" is rather thoughtless.
What gives with the negativity?
Palmetto- it seems like the rest of us peons will never be as smart, pretty or rich as you. Thank you for reminding us of that with comments in several locations.
Um, I don't get why it's thoughtless. What does selling J.D. Salinger's letters have to do with anything?
This picture of her home makes me itch!
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
Palmetto's just very miserable and comes here to share.
