kingfan What a very interesting topic! I was, and still am, legally married but my husband and we have been living apart for ten years now. At the time we separated, we had been married for 17 years. It was a very difficult decision to make to end this relationship as...

You know, I love my boyfriend but I have to admit that we have a lot of differences. Right now, there's a part of me that's saying I want to let him go and the other part of me is still telling me to hold on. Just right now, he...

kingfan Gorgeousdreamer, it sounds like you are looking for someone to tell you to leave. If the relationship is not working for you, the longer you stay the more miserable you will feel. I speak from experience. I was married to my ex husband for 17 years, hoping...

kingfan Dear girl, only you can make that decision. Are you able to give him the support and encouragement he needs? Hard as it sounds, sometimes love is not enough. The fact that you are asking if you should stay or go makes me think that you are not sure...

I just saw the commercial for the new Steven King movie The Mist. That really does look like a great movie. I cant wait to see it. I'm assuming it is based on one of his books. Has anyone read the book? If so was it a good book?...

kingfan The Fog was based on another book, by another author. I can't remember his name offhand. The Mist is based on a novella of the same name, by Stephen King, and can be found in a horror anthology called "Dark Forces", which I believe was edited by Kirby...

kingfan Wow. On reading some of the responses here, it seems that people's taste vary so widely. However, it seems that Cell seems to be the pick for the worst. I had a hard time reading that one. King's characters are usually so compelling, but in this book, I found...

Have you read some of Stephen King's newer books, such as "Duma Key" and found yourself as satisfied with the new novels as the early works? I find that Stephen King has pulled away from some of the more shocking aspects of his...

kingfan I have read every Stephen King book written. I agree that his earlier works were most definitely his best. I found myself struggling to finish Cell and Duma Key. The only one that I found reminiscent of his earlier works was Blaze. I enjoyed that one. Do...

The dark Tower Series has got to be the best of Stephen King. His magnum opus. His ability to intertwine reality and fiction is remarkable. I found myself actually staring to wonder if some dreams/ideas are just imagination, or a...

kingfan JonesKnows, have you read the entire series? I started with The Gunslinger when it was first written and couldn't wait for the next one to be published. I thought they got better and better with each installment, although Wizard and Glass wasn't my favourite....

kingfan I was disappointed that this series ended. If we couldn't watch it when it was on, we taped it. We have bought the first four seasons on DVD and watch them quite a bit. I am looking forward to the movies, for sure. I agree with you about the writing. It was...

kingfan One that stands out in my mind was called "Eyes" and starred Tim Daly (Wings). It was about a private investigation agency, and was extremely well written and entertaining. It didn't even last one season. In my opinion, it was one of the best new shows of that...

kingfan It's not as expensive as you would think. We spend on average $20-$25 on movies because we buy previously viewed or on sale, and we don't buy them every weekend. Even some of our tv series are not that expensive. They average about $50.00, depending on the...

kingfan I always pick up pennies, if I see them. The way I see it, 100 of those little things make a dollar. My daughter thinks it's embarassing, but what the heck!
