*I was tagged in a winter prompt post by the wonderful @mrs-han and I couldn’t ignore it. Also I’d like to wish a merry belated Christmas and a happy new year xx

Just for the day

(Jumin x MC)

.

It had only started off as a joke. A lame joke where MC had begged for one of the members to be her ‘date’ over the holidays while she visited her family. She would have only been there for a day but she couldn’t bare another year of being bombarded by questions about her love life- she had to make light of the situation somehow. Zen had cottoned on to the joke, playing along with her in the messenger as he went about his yearly confession of his distaste for the holidays and his lack of a love life. Jumin, on the other hand, had not seen the humour behind her halfhearted pleas and was quick to offer up some solutions.

He recognised that she couldn’t avoid her family over Christmas but he also knew how monotonous and irritating it was to be asked those same questions constantly by people you’re meant to show the upmost respect to. So that meant only one thing: the most rational and fitting solution was for him to be her date. Jumin was the obvious decision for multiple reasons- he was the most gentlemanly, could hold conversations with ease, knew when to simply be quiet- and after a very long (mostly one-sided) conversation, Jumin had decided he would accompany her to visit her family. 

MC really wasn’t left with much choice following their conversation, he had left as soon as he’d entered. The next time they spoke was the early morning of their departure; he’d shown up on her doorstep, MC was part of the way through getting ready to leave and, even though she knew him to be a man of his word, she was not expecting him to really go through with it. He presented her gingerly with a bouquet of roses as he smiled with a hint of unease. She took them with a gentle laugh, welcoming him into her apartment, “Going to all the lengths to play the part, are you, Jumin?” 

“Well, I thought it would only be fitting.” He scanned his immediate surroundings, curious to see the inside of the apartment he’d heard so much about over time but knew so little of. “I have to be the ideal gentleman today. Limit any suspicions they might have.” 

“It’s only for the day,” MC marvelled back, fishing through the contents of her bag, “You really didn’t need to come, I was only joking around.”

Jumin shook his head with a tender smile, “No. I chose to come with you. You shouldn’t have to go alone.”

“I hope you know you’re doing me a huge favour.” She gave him one of those intoxicating smiles that he’d never seen before he’d met her, and he found himself trying to suppress the urge to smile brightly back to her. “If anything I should be paying you to come,” her laugh was even more toxic than the aforementioned smile. 

Jumin cleared his throat, regaining his stern composure, “It’s a moment away from work. We are both benefiting each other in one way or another.” 

“Well, if you want to put it like that,” MC threaded her arms into her coat, before sighing deeply: “I supposed we should get going.” We have a long day ahead of ourselves.” 

The journey itself was entertaining, albeit long. The hours that passed gave them chance to confirm any little details about their relationship: they’d been dating for three months and MC was absolutely head over heals for him- that was accompanied by another one of her laughs. And they even had the chance to speak in a less formal fashion than they had in the messenger or when being with the others. They’d made up an entire backstory as well as making general conversation all before they had even arrived at MC’s family house.

The visit itself had gone swimmingly; Jumin played the part of boyfriend extremely well and his experiences with simply being able to please people certainly paid off. He seemed to fit in very well with the family he had never met and he even managed to surprise MC with the amount he seemed to know about her. She even got the pleasant gift of seeing Jumin’s rare smile as he shot her glances across the table in response to something or another. Still, it would be ridiculous to think everything would have gone to plan and as the evening rolled around it was clear the ‘gradual’ snowfall was going to cause some issues.

Jumin had long since retired to the safe haven of MC’s bedroom by the time she sauntered up the stairs to meet him. The news of a cancelled train home meant a long night there, and not one he was quite prepared for. He had made himself comfortable, having intrigued himself with the contents of her childhood room, before perching himself on her bed to read one of the many novels that decorated the shelves. Its pages were bent several times over and its cover worn- an obvious favourite of hers and he could not blame her. The sound of her door creaking on its hinges brought him to immediate attention as he closed the book with care. He couldn’t smell it from where he sat, but her demeanour alone was evident enough that she was fairly intoxicated. MC’s hand gripped the door handle as she peered around the corner; Jumin’s eyes caught the flush of her cheeks and her beaming smile in an instant. “I’m sorry,” she cooed drunkenly, her eyes wide, “I shouldn’t have left you alone...” Jumin could see her thought process as her smile faultered ever so slightly, only for her to let out a quick chuckle or two, “But my aunt opened another bottle and suddenly I forgot what I was doing.”

He caught himself smiling at her toothy grin completely unreserved, before he could clear his throat and correct himself. “It’s nothing to apologise for. I chose to retire.” Jumin placed the book down beside him, subduing another emerging smile on his lips as he looked back to the woman in the doorframe. “I’ve been rather entertained by your selection of novels,” he traced his fingers across the title of the cover gently, “This one in particular appears to be a favourite of yours.”

MC hummed, entering the room further to take a better look at the publication. There was little elegance in the way she positioned herself on the bed beside him, yet it made Jumin smile nonetheless. She leant haphazardly against his frame as she sighed heavily, retrieving the book with slightly more care than she carried herself. She hummed once more, almost humoured by the long forgotten pages of the book, “I definitely read it more than a couple times.”

A silence fell among them and Jumin peered over his shoulder to find her examining the pages. She was so quiet and peaceful, he could have just held her there for hours despite knowing how wrong it would have been. He was here as a friend- nothing else. He sighed to himself and her eyes wandered to him questioningly. Her wide eyes were piercing, tempting him ever closer, yet he could only smirk. “What did your aunt have to say?”

“Oh!” MC exclaimed, wide eyed once more with her jaw lax and discarding the book much more carelessly than he’d imagined. “She claims she can see my future as clear as day,” she began slurring her words as her volume grew, waving her hands in some attempt to emphasise her words.

“Is that so?” Jumin humoured, turning more so now so she was now resting back against his chest and he could she her flushed face clearly.

MC nodded eagerly: “Yes! She claims that I’m going to marry you and that I’ll live some magical fairytale land with everything I’ll ever need.” She was giggling to herself as she spoke, her hands still flailing and her eyes fixed on the ceiling, until her volume finally dropped. “Isn’t that crazy?”

He found himself lost for words, he hadn’t spoken much to her aunt but he could he could see himself getting along well with her.

As though another thought had hit her, MC sat up all of a sudden, startling Jumin ever so slightly. She turned to him, perched on her knees and gave him another gentle smile. “I mean it must be crazy ‘cause the ‘man of my dreams’ is sleeping in my bed and I’m going to sleep down on the couch.”

“What?” His strong tone broke her innocent laughs, her gullible, drunken face almost looking sober at the sound of his voice.

The corner of her lips tilted upwards once more ever so slightly. “Well, I can’t let my guest sleep on a couch... and I can’t sleep with you, can I?”

Jumin could have sworn she was doing it on purpose, drawing out her syllables on the edge of her tongue and eyeing him down- in what he could only explain as seduction. He leant in closer to her, gazing at her docile features down the length of his nose. A smirk adorned him, his tone chilling yet somewhat playful as he retorted: “But it would be so ungentlemanly for me to kick a woman out of her own bed.”

In turn, she leant in closer to him, her eyes darkened and hard- even for Jumin- to read. “I thought you were against a man and a woman sleeping under the same roof before marriage, Jumin... Let alone in the same bed...”

He could smell it on her breath now- the strong scent champagne that had once danced across her tongue and now enraptured him. Hell, he could feel her gentle breath brushing against his skin with the little distance between them now. “Oh... I’m not sure if I recall saying that.”

“I’m sure you did...” MC spoke barely above a whisper, before she could downcast her gaze and laugh once more. She composed herself, returning to her sweetest grin before she questioned him: “So where am I sleeping tonight?”

Maybe it was his subconscious or the pure sight of her barely parted lips- he could never be too sure- but all Jumin knew was the second she had locked her gaze back on his, he was leaning in to kiss her and he had forgotten how he had even gotten in the situation. No more than a second, he assured himself of that, but that didn’t mean he pulled away in a haste. On the contrary, he took his time withdrawing from her puckered lips, his eyes slightly widened but he wouldn’t dare move an inch further from her. She gazed at him silently, almost in what he perceived to be wonder as she found herself lost for words. Jumin cleared his throat as modestly as he possibly could, before swallowing thickly and attempting to clear his conscience, “Forgive me... That was far beyond me, I had never planned to—”

MC had been the most patient woman- from the moment Jumin had first met her- but in that moment she couldn’t wait a second longer for him to finish his formalities. She had her lips locked back on to his quicker than he could comprehend, leaving his hands tense at his side before he dared to venture any further. Jumin found his fingers entrapped within the strands of her hair, all the while her hands were at the side of his waist and resting against his chest as she leaned over him. When she finally pulled away she couldn’t look him in the eye, but that sweet laugh did grace his ears once more. “Maybe I did,” she mumbled distantly, barely audible to Jumin.

“What was that?”

“Oh,” MC’s eyes finally trailed back up to his, her fingers creating circles over his jumper. Her cheeks flushed at the sight of his shocked features, her cheeks doing no favours to hide her embarrassment. “I might have planned this...?”

Jumin scoffed at her confession, his hand freeing itself from her locks, “Planned?”

“No.” She corrected herself before her teeth began to toy with her bottom lip. “I wanted it though...”

“But you practically begged me to reconsider coming here with you.” MC cast her eyes away from him once more and Jumin couldn’t help but hold her face, tilting her chin up in line with his own. “And yet you actually wanted me here?”

“I didn’t want you here,” she met him with a gentle whisper, but that wasn’t to say he wasn’t slightly taken aback by her comment.

“Well, that’s nice to know,” he humoured.

MC thumped him playfully against his chest with an exasperated sigh: “No! You know that’s not what I mean.”

“I know.”

Her eyebrows furrowed further, her lips pouted. “I was joking when I said I needed a fake date today... But you don’t take too kindly to jokes...”

“And?” He questioned, stroking her cheeks with the pad of his thumb.

“And I’ve wanted to kiss you for the longest time.” He lent in at her words, as if they were some type of command.

Their lips brushed together once more for a millisecond, the lingering taste of alcohol blessing his senses again. Jumin brushed away the strands of hair falling over her delicate features with care, agreeing quietly as he did so: “And I you.”

She smiled purely at his gesture, her face flushing with warmth as she leant into the palm of his hand. “So?”

“So?” He mimicked questioningly.

She spoke smugly, her once mischievous smile returning alongside the yet to be answered question. “Where am I sleeping?”

Jumin could only laugh at her bold statement- so desperate for an answer she knew he didn’t wish to answer aloud. “If you’ll allow it,” he began, removing one of her hands from his chest to hold it within his own, “right next to me.”

“Gladly.”

october book round up

19 books this month, which brings me to 125 for the year, and i’ve officially completed the yearly challenge! :) a little later than last year, but still earlier than i expected. i don’t imagine that i’ll read as much as i did last year, but i can still get a good bit done in two months i think. this month was pretty much just different flavours of romance, once again all audiobooks.

poison kiss - ana mardoll ⭐️⭐️⭐️ mixed feelings about this one. urban fantasy/paranormal with a neat setup and world building, but i feel like the author didn’t tell the story in the most effective way? not enough time spent on certain sections, time skips that were not needed, too many flashbacks. the poly romance was really sweet, though i didn’t much care for the love at first sight aspect when the third character was introduced. but this was a good book overall, with a unique plot and cast; might revisit the series.

the best boy ever made - rachel eliason ⭐️⭐️⭐️ very cute coming of age/ya romance. a conservative country girl is at first shocked when her best friend comes out as trans, but she slowly finds herself becoming his biggest champion, and then falling in love with him. took me a while to warm up to it bc i found the protagonist to be kind of obnoxious. and some of the later plot events were kind of ham-fisted. but i definitely liked it, mostly for sam and how good and kind he was.

i wish you all the best - meason deaver ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BRUH I’M CRYING IN THE CLUB. this was a really fucking sweet ya romance. the main character finds themselves homeless after they come out as nb to their parents. they move in with their sister, enroll in a new school, and find themselves making friends with (and slowly falling for!) a literal ray of sunshine. this was great, another one of those books i wish i could have read when i was younger. dealt with coming out, depression, anxiety and first love, had great writing, and i’m still thinking about how great the ending lines were.

the neighbour - gerri hill ⭐️⭐️ eh... a book that COULD have been good (woman with a stunted career as a writer moves back home to take care of her ailing mother, finds herself falling for the rich lesbian player next door) but both main characters were so thoroughly unlikable lmao. judgemental, snooty, made jokes about harmful things, kind of elitist... there was one aspect of this book that i really liked (the main character changed careers later in life and it wasn’t seen as a failure, just moving on) but otherwise this was a disappointment.

the turner series - cat sebastian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ historical romance!!! always a fave. this was a pretty fun series; first three m/m, last one f/f. a bit of mystery and intrigue in all of them, good humour, and a great cast of characters through and through. the second one was probably my favourite; one of the mcs suffered from anxiety attacks in an era where there was a lot of wrong information about mental health, and his love interest (a cheat and a scoundrel) ended up being the best thing that happened to him. although now that i’ve said that i just remembered how very much i love the third book’s protagonist (the rake, to be specific). standout character for sure. the last book has a dear place in my heart bc even though you can tell that the author doesn’t often write f/f, and it was a pretty short novella, it’s still historical lesbians, and i eat up historical lesbians with a spoon. (i could make a pretty bad joke here but lo and behold; i have GREAT self control.)

the secret casebook of simon feximal - k.j. charles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ when k.j. charles is good, SHE’S REALLY FUCKING GOOD. this is a paranormal-mystery/romance book styled after the adventures of sherlock holmes (if you must know one thing about me it’s that i’m a slut for acd holmes, don’t fucking @ me), set in the very universe itself. not quite a pastiche but close enough, and it was so well written, with great world building around the magic and paranormal events, great characters, GREAT ROMANCE. told as stories published by robert, simon’s biographer and lover. i adored this and will definitely reread.

puppy love romance - georgia beers ⭐️⭐️⭐️ a trio of f/f novels centred around an animal rescue, and the women who work and volunteer there and fall in love there. each of these novels was really sweet, grounded in a way that i like for contemporary romance, and they all had adorable dogs in them. and i feel like beers really knows her way around plotting and pacing a novel, especially small town romances. but i also had pretty sizeable nitpicks for each of them lol. part of it is that i just got tired of beers’ writing style (as you can see, i took a break between the series). this is such a weird complaint but oh my god she uses too many adverbs lol. also there was always an emphasis on how amazingly stunningly gorgeously beautiful all six women were and it got so tiresome. idk who wants to read about women who are physically perfect all the time, but it’s not me. and one half of the romantic pair in each book (lisa, emily and sydney, in that order) had attitudes that i found obnoxious and were not resolved and i felt bad for their girlfriends having to deal with them. a fun read all in all, but some of those things rubbed me the wrong way, and i’m ready to take a break from this author. 

bound series - ava march ⭐️⭐️ a resounding meh. historical m/m romance that wasn’t bad, but there wasn’t anything great about it. i only read these like maybe a week and a half ago but i’m struggling to remember details. there was bdsm, which i didn’t hate, but i also didn’t care. the plot was bleh, the sources of conflict were weak, and one of the dudes was kind of an asshole. /shrug emoji

reverie - eliza andrews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ god... GOD. the ride i took with this book was like... a really sexy butch took me out to dinner, wined and dined me, and in the very last course she leaned over and spit in me food. the premise: a woman on the run from her abusive ex-husband settles into a small town where she find herself drawn to the only out lesbian in town, a sweet butch ex-marine, and her mysterious nurse of a neighbour. this book was soooooooo well written, so well crafted, so moving, so beautiful. a paranormal mystery that actual kept me guessing. i was ready to name it the best f/f book i read this year, if not the best romance period. and then the ending. the FUCKING ENDING. i’ve rarely been so let down in my life. i’m looking at the four stars i gave this and wondering if i should go lower because SERIOUSLY. thinking about it is getting me kind of upset. this book could have been SO good. uuuuuugh. 

brothers of the wild north sea - harper fox ⭐️⭐️ this is tricky because like. this book was definitely like, not good lmao, but it was good enough that i almost feel guilty giving it 2 stars. this is a historical romance that takes place more than a thousand years ago between a viking and a monk. it wasn’t badly written, probably wasn’t historically accurate but i mean, i don’t care. but it was too long, i didn’t care about the characters, it was badly plotted, and just really confusing overall. i think harper fox is great at writing romance, but all other aspects of this novel fell flat.

escape velocity - anah crow, dianne fox ⭐️⭐️⭐️ sci-fi m/m romance. a linguistic researcher and a pilot struggling with his religious beliefs fall into a whirlwind romance. pretty cute. i found it too short as i find most novellas, but i think the authors did a lot in relatively few words. definitely wish there was more worldbuilding. kind of hope the authors have plans to make this a series.

nowhere ranch - heidi cullinan ⭐️⭐️⭐️ a sweet romance between a farm hand and his boss. i didn’t think i’d like it much, but it was pretty enjoyable! very simple writing stuff that fit well with the gruff, no-nonsense, trying to shut everyone out protagonist. i really liked him; identified with him a lot, and his journey into opening up, dealign with his anxiety and self-worth issues. and the romance was sweet (though oooof, some of the sex scenes were too much). the book went from being really raunchy to really domestic and i kind of liked that. the resolution came a bit too quick, but i enjoyed it nonetheless.

that’s it for october! still currently unemployed, waiting for the people i signed a contract with to call me. since i don’t want to dip too much into my savings i’ve been doing odd jobs here and there, and might take a more steady part-time job in the meantime? all of that to say: i probably won’t be reading as much in november. i’m currently reading the first book in the spencer cohen series, and not... really loving it, lol, so i might pass on the others.

Hubie Halloween Review: Adam Sandler Gets Scared Stupid in New Netflix Movie

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

In the weeks before the 2020 Academy Award nominations were set to be announced, Adam Sandler was a guest on The Howard Stern Show. During his conversation with the host, Sandler joked that if he wasn’t handed a Best Actor statue for his role as the beleaguered Howard Ratner in last year’s critically acclaimed stress fest Uncut Gems, he’d take revenge on the world by making an absolutely awful film in response to that perceived slight.

“If I don’t get it, I’m going to fucking come back and do one again that is so bad on purpose just to make you all pay,” he said. “That’s how I get them.”

Despite such tongue-in-cheek fist-shaking from Sandler, everyone perked up a bit when Netflix announced that its next feature film project with the comedian, Hubie Halloween, would be coming to streaming before the end of the year. Sadly, if there were a grain of truth to Sandler’s threat, Hubie Halloween isn’t The One – the film had wrapped months before his remark – but there’s an element of genius to his comments. If we even casually entertained the notion that one of his upcoming movies could be deliberately bad (which would imply that some the other ones were simply bad accidentally) our expectations might be further toward rock bottom, greasing us up for an unexpected surprise.

The truth is, most of us have been riding The Unexpectedly Surprised Rollercoaster with Adam Sandler for decades, but while it’s fairly respectable to be on board with stuff like Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love, his broad comedies have more misses than hits, critically. Netflix has taken the rough with the smooth in its deal with Happy Madison Productions to date because those movies have been unquestionable hits for the streaming service, regardless. Last year’s middling but inoffensive comedy Murder Mystery even topped the list of its most-viewed titles. So here comes another one, this time with Sandler getting back to basics.

In Hubie Halloween, Sandler plays the central role of Hubie Dubois in the same vein as a few of his other more socially inept characters. Dubois is a virgin in his mid-50s who still lives with his mother and wets the bed, and his yearly highpoint is the day he gets to spend as a kind of self-appointed spooky season hall monitor in the hope that the largely contemptuous residents of his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts will celebrate Halloween safely. When people who have been bullying him for years start vanishing, though, Hubie starts to believe that a supernatural force is responsible for the disappearances, and decides to try and convince the town and its hapless cops to help save the day.

Along the way, Hubie gets entangled with his age-appropriate crush since the 2nd grade, Violet Valentine (Julie Bowen), and her three foster children – the oldest of whom is played by Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp – and butts heads with a variety of dismissive local characters played by the likes of Ray Liotta, Tim Meadows, Maya Rudolph, Kevin James, and Michael Chiklis, all of whom appear to be having the time of their lives aboard another Happy Madison joint. There are also some other obligatory cameos scattered throughout the 102-minute running time. Without spoiling them: yes, he’s in it. Him too. And him.

Sandler plays Hubie as a gentle character without a bad bone in his body, and at points he’s even held up as a kind of ‘turn the other cheek’ Christlike soul at the heart of Salem. The town, painted here as warm, wealthy, and inviting, regards its muddy history with almost the same joyful, store-bought cuteness as its children treat their makeshift Halloween costumes. Hubie is the descendant of a woman who spoke up against the Salem Witch Trials, and his commitment to keeping Halloween fun and wickedness-free is a reflection of that lingering bloodline. He has nothing but the purest love to offer those who view his Thermos-wielding eager beaver with darkness in their hearts.

Despite this vaguely heart-warming approach to the innocence in Hubie, it’s still a little frustrating to see Sandler back to his old tricks again in front of the camera, muttering with an aggressive underbite and helping to dish out piss and fart jokes by the dozen so soon after proving how versatile he can be when working with talented indie filmmakers. The disappointment is compounded when so many of the jokes in Hubie Halloween fail to even land – and a bunch of them are running jokes that we have to see die on screen repeatedly.

On a sliding scale of Netflix’s Sandler films, Hubie Halloween sits somewhere in the middle. It’s not anywhere near as painful as The Ridiculous 6, but it isn’t as weirdly soothing as Murder Mystery, either. There are a few twists and a couple of laughs, and there’s a decent amount of Netflix money splashed on the screen, so technically it’s not a badly made film.

Though it plays with certain horror tropes, like jump scares and mask-wearing psychos, it’s also aimed at younger viewers – you could probably leave your tween-and-above kids in front of it and crack on with something else with very little to worry about while you’re gone. Your little one randomly saying “shit” or “boner” in the days that follow is arguably a preferable consequence to being asked the question “can we watch MORE Kevin James movies?” at any rate.

If you don’t have any kids and are still hovering over the ‘play’ button, you’ll instinctively be aware that Hubie Halloween won’t be joining anyone’s regular go-to All Hallows’ Eve line-up in the future, least of all yours, but it’s bound to do some impressive numbers on Netflix nonetheless, and if you watch it, you must accept your part in that outcome with no quarrel [flashlight under chin] another Adam Sandler film will be along soon enough…

14 Copywriting Examples From Companies With Unbelievable Copywriters

The years-old “The Man Your Man May Odor Like” marketing campaign was memorable for a lot of causes, however one among them was that it gave Previous Spice a voice — voice that got here via in each video, industrial, tagline, Fb replace, tweet … you title it.

Copywriters. The power to seek out the precise proper phrases to inform your organization’s story is not a simple feat, and it is even tougher to take action constantly.

So once we come throughout corporations which might be doing it efficiently, we predict their copywriters deserve a pat on the again (and a increase?). Check out a number of the corporations we predict have stellar copywriting, and when you’re trying, possibly get some inspiration on your personal model, too.

UrbanDaddy has mastered the artwork of getting me to open emails. And after I click on into them, they do not disappoint.

Under is the copy from an electronic mail they despatched me with the topic line, “Enjoyable.”

There are a pair issues on this electronic mail that caught my eye.

To begin with, there isn’t any lengthy preamble. The writers get straight to the purpose — a smart selection for one thing so simple as a rubber band gun lest the reader really feel cheated studying sentence after sentence for one thing so frequent.

Secondly, check out the purposeful sentence construction. This copywriter eschews typical grammar guidelines by combining run-on sentences and conventional product promotion copy in sentences like:

Lock and cargo with Elastic Precision, a Kansas Metropolis-based workshop that manufactures high-powered weaponry besides in no way as a result of they really simply shoot rubber bands, now obtainable on-line.”

Preserve studying, and also you see a conversational tone that mildly mocks the silliness of the product, but in addition loops the reader in on one thing kinda enjoyable.

After which, in fact, they shut with badgers. And how are you going to go flawed with badgers?

Better of all, UrbanDaddy’s distinctive tone is present in each single piece of copy they publish — from emails, to homepage copy, even to their editorial coverage:

This firm clearly is aware of its viewers, which jokes to crack, and has saved it constant throughout all their property.

The copy above introduces Articulate’s “Meet the Crew” web page — not a web page you’d suppose can pull off witty copy, proper? Nicely, Articulate’s web page goes past worker photographs and their job titles.

Along with the playful header, “not the same old blah blah,” the copy above takes on a farm theme, assuring guests that staff aren’t merely “caged hens.” Reasonably, they are a “free-range, artisanal, cruelty-free staff.” Humorous on the floor, however useful to job seekers who, very like meals, need to know the place their work comes from and the way it’s made.

3. Moosejaw

Not many manufacturers are courageous sufficient to the touch the merchandise they’re promoting with unconventional copy … however Moosejaw is not afraid to have a little bit enjoyable.

The out of doors attire outlet retailer makes use of humor as a technique to promote their merchandise with out being overly ahead about it. By interesting to individuals’s feelings, they’re extra participating and memorable.

Listed below are a couple of examples:

Similar goes for the call-to-action buttons that present up once you hover your mouse over a product picture — like this one, which reads, “Look This Cool.”

Does their model voice carry over to the product descriptions, you ask? See for your self:

If you happen to suppose the sensible copy stops at their homepage, suppose once more. They prolong it to their return coverage, too. Right here, they do an excellent job of not sacrificing readability for humor. Their copywriters efficiently made individuals snigger whereas nonetheless being useful.

4. First Spherical Capital

Whereas an indication of nice copywriting is making individuals smile, one other is making individuals really feel understood. The copywriters at First Spherical do an exceptional job at letting the worth of their choices for his or her clients promote themselves.

For instance, they maintain over 80 occasions yearly connecting their neighborhood collectively. As an alternative of simply explaining that they’ve occasions after which itemizing them out, they start that part of their web site with a easy assertion that hits near residence with many entrepreneurs: “Beginning an organization is lonely.”

Utilizing phrases like “imperfect,” “security web,” and “susceptible” encourages readers to let their guards down and really feel understood by the model and their neighborhood.

Plus, you’ve got gotta love that final line about stick-on title tags. These issues get caught in my hair.

5. Trello

Have you learnt what Trello is? If the reply isn’t any, then behold the copywriting on their web site. Their product description — like many of the copy on their web site — is crystal clear:

After which try how clear this explainer content material is:

Among the use case readability will be attributed to how sensible the product is, however I feel copywriters deserve some credit score for speaking it clearly, too. They name it like it’s, which finally makes it very easy to understand.

And I could not write concerning the copywriting expertise at Trello with out together with the intelligent references within the microcopy of their login web page:

Every time you refresh the login web page, you see a unique, equally intelligent instance electronic mail belonging to a fictional character, like Ender from Ender’s Recreation and Dana Scully from The X-Recordsdata — an excellent instance of nostalgia advertising. This can be a small element, however nonetheless a reminder that there are actual people behind the web site and product’s design. Pleasant microcopy like this kinda appears like I simply shared a non-public joke with somebody on the firm.

6. Velocity Companions

No publish from me about wonderful copywriting could be full with out mentioning the oldsters at Velocity Companions. A B2B advertising company out of the U.Okay., we have featured co-founder Doug Kessler’s SlideShares (like this one on why entrepreneurs must rise above the deluge of “crappy” content material) repeatedly on this weblog as a result of he is the grasp of phrase economic system.

What’s “phrase economic system”? It is taking care that each phrase you employ is the proper phrase. It means getting your level throughout concisely and never dwelling on the small print when you do not have to. In a world of shortening consideration spans, that is the final word purpose when speaking your message.

And since we’re speaking about phrase economic system, I will shut up and allow you to try one among Kessler’s SlideShares for your self:

Whereas SlideShares are usually visible, Kessler’s is closely targeted on copy: The design stays fixed, and solely the textual content adjustments. However the copy is participating and compelling sufficient for him to tug that off. Why? As a result of he makes use of easy phrases so his readers perceive what he is attempting to say with none effort. He writes like he speaks, and it reads like a narrative, making it straightforward to flip via in SlideShare kind.

The copy on Velocity Companions’ homepage stood out to me, too. Try, for instance, how humble they’re when introducing their case research:

I additionally like how informal and sincere they saved their electronic mail subscription call-to-action. The header is particularly eye-catching — and it performs off of the favored SlideShare about crappy content material we talked about earlier.

The truth is, Velocity Companions’ Harendra Kapur lately wrote a weblog publish on what goes in to nice B2B writing — beginning with this disclaimer, in fact.

7. Intrepid Journey

The copywriters at Intrepid Journey, a Melbourne-based journey journey firm, are on this listing as a result of they’re on the intersection of attention-grabbing and informational.

I like seeing copy that’s completely and totally useful — that delivers vital info, however is so nice to learn that you simply truly hold studying. Fairly a feat on the web as of late.

Check out their firm description, package deal names, and package deal descriptions beneath for some examples of this fantastically useful copywriting in motion:

In addition they have two, distinctive electronic mail subscription calls-to-action on totally different pages of their web site. They’re very totally different, however each equally humorous and pleasant. This is one from the homepage:

And one from the “About” web page:

9. Playing cards In opposition to Humanity

Chances are you’ll or might not be aware of Playing cards In opposition to Humanity, the self-declared “get together recreation for horrible individuals.” It is a card recreation — one which’s concurrently entertaining and inappropriate. The copywriting on the playing cards themselves are assured to make you snigger.

The model voice may be very distinctive, and may appear a little bit abrasive, and even a little bit offensive. However that is their complete shtick: They don’t seem to be attempting to attraction to everybody, and that is completely okay. What they do do an excellent job of doing is interesting to their audience.

One take a look at their FAQ web page and you may see what I imply:

This is a sneak peek into a number of the solutions to those questions. You may see they make enjoyable of each themselves and the reader — which is strictly what the cardboard recreation is about.

I can vouch for that one. I understand how a lot of a trouble it’s to maneuver distant out of your gymnasium — and the way refreshing it have to be to have the ability to stroll in and simply … stop.

All of this rolls as much as their philosophy, espoused eloquently on their “About” web page, that gyms ought to simply be about figuring out:

Discuss having an understanding of their core viewers. The copy each in its worth proposition and throughout its advertising supplies displays a deep understanding of their clients.

And the way did their copywriters select to ensure everybody knew what this new gymnasium franchise was about in the event that they did not learn that “About” web page? This tagline:

Would not get a lot clearer than that.

13. ModCloth

ModCloth is a model that has at all times had a wonderful grasp of their purchaser persona, and it comes via of their pun-filled copywriting. All of their merchandise are foolish performs on phrases — try this display screen seize of a few of their new arrivals, for instance:

Dive into their product description copy, and it is equally joyous, evocative, and intelligent — similar to their clients. Usually, it’s going to additionally inform the story of what you will do whereas carrying their objects:

After studying their descriptions, one can think about what their life could be like in the event that they owned this product. That is Copywriting 101, however so few manufacturers can truly pull it off like the oldsters at ModCloth do.

14. Ann Handley

In the case of build up your personal private model, it may be straightforward to get a little bit too self-promotional. That is the place the copywriting in your web site could make an enormous distinction.

Christmas Items From Clueless Grandmas Can Be Hilarious

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/christmas-items-from-clueless-grandmas-can-be-hilarious/

Christmas Items From Clueless Grandmas Can Be Hilarious

Christmas is an excellent time of the 12 months. No worry of Halloween haunts and also you don’t have to fret about whose home you’re going to for the turkey. No, Christmas is the day the place you possibly can sleep in if you would like or get up early in your cozy pajamas, go to your presents and be ready to be stuffed with bliss. The one challenge you would possibly face when opening your items are the bizarre gadgets that clueless, however well-meaning, grandmothers give.

This listing is stuffed with epic reward fails from grandmas. You gained’t even consider the “particular” shark that one grandmother made.

Grandmas and those that will not be very versed within the realm of gift-giving all want a correct lesson. The one factor optimistic about this current is the smile that this man offers. It could possibly be a sarcastic one however nonetheless, no less than he makes this second half bearable.

In all honesty, did his grandma assume he was having a child quickly? What made her assume he would take pleasure in some on-the-go wipes? There could also be 55 on this pack, which is loads however this actually wasn’t the very best reward choice. Giving somebody any kind of bathroom paper is type of disrespectful. Her grandson deserves higher.

This Reddit person posted this picture and described what precisely was happening. “My 84-year-old grandmother apologized for having to put on her nightgown in entrance of us,” he wrote. “I mentioned it was no drawback and that it really appeared very snug, so she instantly supplied one to me. It’s not like I may have rejected this beneficiant reward.” It feels like grandma lucked out and simply gave her grandson this reward as a substitute of attempting to exit and purchase on. Not less than it’s higher than two , proper?

You possibly can count on that in the course of the holidays, electronics are the primary requested reward. That normally interprets to some Apple product since everybody loves iPhones and iPads. Talking of iPads, for future reference, subsequent time you request one make sure to be particular. Inform grandma precisely what number of gigabytes you want as a result of for those who depart it as much as her, this could be the scenario you find yourself in. Receiving a watch pad as a substitute of an iPad would put a damper on anybody’s Christmas. Would you be upset or understanding if this occurred to you?

This subsequent grandma additionally wants some help along with her expertise.

This reward took a very long time coming, actually.This grandma missed the memo that folks ship image messages by means of their telephone and never by means of the mail. The Reddit person who posted this mentioned this was the “slowest image message ever,” and he was not flawed with that evaluation. She seems to be so completely satisfied to be taking this image for her grandson too! Oblivious to the truth that she may have despatched this in a matter of moments, what a shock it should have been as soon as her grandson bought this within the mail as a present!

“My grandma bought me this shirt, I don’t assume she will get it,” wrote this Reddit person. The query is that if grandma actually knew what this meant or if she thought her grandson solely like freshly trimmed grass. Both approach, this man can’t put on this and hold a good picture out in public. It might be a terrific shirt to put on round the home and to point out your spouse however for those who put on this out in public you would possibly get a few soiled seems and a few laughs. However would you like that sort of consideration?

This subsequent reward is definitely a disappointment and there’s no solution to tape up that truth.

This man is having fun with this reward a bit an excessive amount of. Take a look at how he has the canine within the image as he rests on the mattress with that finger in his mouth. Is he flaunting this fail of a present off or is he being humorous?

“Opened my current from grandma early,” he wrote. “I feel this current was supposed for one among my woman cousins, however I’m keepin’ it.” It seems like he’s fortunately exhibiting off his reward that was greater than probably meant for another person. As a result of clearly, except his spouse gave that to him, why else would he have purpose to put on this?

We’ll begin issues off with this sad man. Newspapers run this sort of characteristic yearly for the vacations. When Kevin Mack from Grove Metropolis, Ohio was requested what his worst reward was, he didn’t hesitate to inform Columbus Alive. His life apparently is worse than a few of the items you might be about to see. And for those who hint it again, you would say his grandma is accountable for this reward.

Receiving stationary as a present isn’t as unhealthy because it sounds. You would get a very neat pocket book that you just all the time move by however by no means buy as a result of it doesn’t suit your finances in the intervening time. You might also get some cool writing utensils so that you by no means know.

Nevertheless, there are some stationary items which might be simply dreadful to should open up on Christmas. For example, what for those who get some staples? Who would need that? However is that actually as unhealthy as a heavy obligation tape dispenser? In accordance with the recipient of this reward, it’s the worst Christmas current ever.

Did you learn what the letter wrote? “You gained $2 . Right here is that $2. Merry Christmas!” There isn’t any approach that grandma went out of her solution to give this as a present. Grandmothers ought to know higher. However when you concentrate on it, the older they get, the items they provide start to grow to be much less extravagant. The unique concept of giving the lottery scratcher was a good suggestion however everyone knows how arduous it’s to withstand scratching these issues. However subsequent time, grandma has to attempt a bit tougher to not break the reward.

How’s this for a fail? For all of our male readers on the market, would you ever image your self carrying one thing like this in your teenage years? We wish to assume nearly all of you mentioned no as a result of that is most likely solely wearable whenever you’re alone at residence or if it’s part of a fancy dress. If this boy had been to put on this college then he can be the laughing inventory of all his associates. The Reddit person mentioned, “My 94-year-old nice grandma made this for me as a result of she mentioned it’s too chilly.”

If this isn’t probably the most out-of-left-field reward anybody may get then we don’t need to know what’s worse (oh simply wait, the listing will get crazier). Grandma should assume her son is Bob the Builder to make a present buy of this magnitude. What was the attract of this reward that captured the eye of this purchaser? All this merchandise is, is a strolling broomstick. Now the proprietor of it doesn’t should stroll to the place he retains the broom to be tidy. He can accomplish a drive-by sweep.

We hope this subsequent reward doesn’t upset you.

This “reward” was a stocking stuffer. And we hope the recipient understood that this was only a joke and she or he didn’t take it so arduous. It’s normally the batteries that aren’t included so the joke is correct there when it says reward not included with the battery prepared to be used. Generally, you count on there to be no less than a good reward in your stocking however to get that is simply all unhealthy. This can be a nice prank to play, however not such a terrific one to have performed on you. Good job, grandma.

You’re 11 years outdated and Christmas is your favourite day subsequent to your birthday since you get all of the items that you just requested for. Sweet, video games, and toys are your favourite issues at this age so something that has to cope with precise work is only a drag. However on one Christmas morning, your grandmother will get you a “sport” considering it is going to be precisely what you want. When you open up the reward, you discover out it’s the one sport you don’t need to play! This child was bummed, to say the least.

“My buddy’s grandma or G-Ma bought him this current for Christmas,” wrote a Reddit person. Effectively, it may have been worse. It may have been an inappropriate image. Nevertheless, the truth that she’s tilting her glasses down a bit on the highest image makes this a bit creepy. Why is your grandmother sending you footage like that? Not solely is that this reward a fail however it is usually a tad unsettling. We hope his buddy didn’t snort at him hysterically as soon as he noticed this. That is fairly humorous with a contact of absurd.

Getting somebody garments that they didn’t particularly ask for as a gift on Christmas is hard enterprise. For one, you will need to know their measurement and secondly, it’s a must to know what kind of favor she or he likes. The look on this woman’s face says all of it. This isn’t the model she likes and it’s most likely one thing that’s by no means going to go away its place in her closet or dresser. In the case of items from grandma (except its a prank) you possibly can wager its all the time from the guts. However this reward isn’t slicing it for her.

Let’s all cease for a second and assume. Are you able to rely in your hand what number of occasions you’ve obtained some variety meals (not together with sweet or sweets) for Christmas? In case you so occur to get meals loads as a present then perhaps this reward isn’t all that stunning to you. If somebody had been to provide you a bag of child carrots, nonetheless, would that be a very good meals reward to provide? That is one thing anybody can get at their native grocery retailer. It’s not prefer it’s an unique deal with or one thing that’s restricted. Grandma should really need somebody to steer a more healthy way of life.

Like we mentioned earlier, electronics are the primary requested reward throughout Christmas time. And as we additionally mentioned, when requesting an Apple product, typically it’s essential to be a bit particular. This might have been one other real buy made by grandma. You inform her iWatch and he or she goes out and finds you precisely that so are you able to be mad at her? As a matter of truth, it most likely was tougher for grandma to search out this watch. You don’t see an precise “eye watch” round that always.

You by no means know what to anticipate from grandma…

The thought was undoubtedly there with this reward however was the location of the shark’s fin correctly thought out? If the boy was older, this is able to have been much more sketchy. Not less than he has an excuse of “he didn’t know any higher” however that is nonetheless very attention-grabbing to have a look at. Somewhat, that is nearly disturbing to have a look at however we’re prepared to wager whoever took the image couldn’t comprise their laughter. That is the 12 months the youngsters cease asking granny for a present.

In case you thought this was unhealthy, get a load of the subsequent one.

For a person, accepting that you just’re balding is a troublesome capsule to swallow. You’ve identified your hair and brought care of it your entire life and for it to resolve by itself that its time to vacate the premises could be coronary heart crushing. And it’s even harder to listen to it from others that your hair goes bye-bye. So for this man’s grandmother to reward him with it is a below-the-belt punch for the ages. She most likely didn’t imply any hurt by it and he or she was simply attempting to assist, however that is horrible for the psyche of this man.

That is both a very good pun or a poor try at attempting to fulfill a grandchild. We’re going with the latter as a result of not each grandma is that humorous. And clearly, by the caption that’s on this image, you possibly can see that whoever bought this was not a cheerful camper. A bottle of physique wash and a mini-flashlight as a present is a mixture that most likely nobody has requested for within the historical past of Christmas. Not less than now this fortunate reward recipient doesn’t should make a visit to the shop for some new physique wash for some time.

Video games undoubtedly are an excellent supply of refreshment. And Spiderman games are glorious video video games to get refreshment.

Youngsters tend to be looking ahead to video games to begin with however simply lose desire. When you recognize it, they may be begging you for a distinct game. Youngsters can turn into aware of development and items of clothes as well as physique elements, colours and as well as find out concerning the surrounding planet while collaborating on this cost-free costume up online video games. And almost all these could be obtained free of cost.

On-line flash games are the reply for every age bracket.

Online flash video games for presented children are a sensible approach to perceive by play. It'd seem like they're spending extra time enjoying video gaming, however the ones inside this record are designed like that.

It really is an unhappy fact during which on-line games calls for tolerating the extraordinary quantity relating to rudeness, vulgarity, poor sportsmanship, as well as fundamental outdated horrible manners. Some game areas are typically slightly extra mature compared to other people, however anyone could usually anticipate this specific type of misbehavior inside just regarding any multiplayer game you come across. I do know that individuals are usually mostly private on the web, in addition to these folks might get extremely sentimentally concerned within the particular competitors, nevertheless that's little or no function to be able to chuck away just about any semblance of respect or perhaps decency. I've really put collectively a handful of ideas about tremendous on the web video gaming etiquette, although I consider the actual most severe offenders aren't prone to receive discover.

Play Good

Being disloyal and using exploits is actually a terrific admission that you are unable to succeed without these people. In addition, you will find succeeding a good wrestle a complete lot extra pleasurable. If winning is seriously important to you, protect coaching and find out by what productive competitors shall be doing. Should the precise competition confirm to change into method too significantly for you personally, finding a definite sport is a greater reply than dishonest.

At all times be A Good Sport

Laughing with defeated competitors, bragging in relation to your accomplishments, overdoing that with taunts together with emotes, nearly all make you appear infantile. The precise point is definitely, actually kids must know significantly better. A great ideal emote utilised throughout the suitable point in time is usually an exquisite factor, but whenever it occurs with every single encounter in the video game, it converts instantly into that significantly additional meaningless spam, which delivers us all to our up coming guideline.

Don't Spam

An individual actually don't must must smash the chat procedure by utilizing WTS messages with a view to promote a good merchandise, nor do you require to use every channel inside the specific on-line game each time there could be a channel devoted to deal. In the occasion individuals should not curious, reproducing a message throughout chat each three seconds isn't actually almost definitely to vary that. Grasp on a moment or maybe two, in addition to perhaps you'll be able to begin to get by right into a contemporary target market.

Surrender Us all of the precise Caps

come on women and men, this specific can be a no-brainer of which has lately been close to because the daybreak of the World-large-net - don't employ all capital phrases inside chat. It is actually the wording equal of yelling at everybody, in addition to no particular person wants to be yelled at.

Everyone Had been a Noob Too

No person can decide up a fresh recreation and instantly acquaint themselves with most of its nuances and in addition particulars. Presently there are typically heaps of acronyms plus slang particular to each single on-line recreation, in addition to it's actually absurd to imagine persons to recognise all these items with out just a little assist from varied different online gamers. Any individual as soon as defined for you simply what precisely had been happening, now you could do the very same, as an alternative in comparison with merely informing these people they're "noobs" plus departing it with that.

A Small Teamwork, Please

If you're a part of a crew, intention to cooperate together along with your teammates slightly. Rambo-fashion game play not normally pays off in a really crew-oriented recreation, subsequently you should not rely in your present teammates to be proper behind you whenever you determine to go kamakazi into any gauntlet of opponents. Also preserve in ideas that principally profitable the particular match is actually a lot more vital as in comparison with getting at the top of the scoreboard.

Don't Grow to be a Quitter

It's astounding precisely how steadily of us may disconnect and not using a word whenever they really are losing, and likewise drop away each time their occasion experience an issue. Ought to you do not feel you may win, give up. At any time when your present case run is simply not planning effectively, attempt to work it out with good grace and even present a bunch of heat and pleasant ideas. During moments when your personal staff seriously is not up for the duty, clarify the difficulty to folks not having insulting these of us. You never acknowledge what sort of choices folks may come up with right up until you give these individuals a chance.

Actually not Every particular person Who Wins Is a Cheater

Simply just because a distinct participant kills you a few events may not point out that they might be dishonest. While nice as you might probably assume you happen to be at almost any on-line sport, there will likely be probably a whole lot of players who can be just as nice or better than you are usually. When you're as hot as virtually all that, then begin out trying to play professionally in LAN tournaments the place by there isn't a approach to cheat. If that you simply're virtually certain of which any individual is dishonest, report them to an administrative and permit them research instead than hurling all around claims you won't have the ability to help.

Camping out Is usually a Lame Technique

Despite the fact that quite a number of sport titles encourage it, camping spawn components and corpses is normally a lame strategy. In several situations it really is simply achievable for the reason that of problematic online game structure, yet it's nonetheless a weak system that individuals with any self-respect don't resort to.

Disregard Insults

At any time when any person insults you, your greatest alternative is normally to dismiss these people. If the insults proceed to persist, most chat and voice models include 'ignore' capabilities to make sure that additional communications from these individuals are generally obstructed. Returning the insults generally solely escalates the alternate into a little bit something you may remorse after.

Enjoy the actual Sport

Video games usually are purported to be fascinating, and if you cannot giggle it off when issues go fully unsuitable, or forgive a crew representative for screwing up, after which maybe it's time for a break. Most of us have satisfactory funny fortnite moments pressure in our lives, we really do not really care to include a number games stress to that. When you begin taking it very severely, it defeats the explanation for enjoying a online game within the first place.

Over the years, many have debated in regards to the results of letting your youngsters watch TELEVISION or play laptop games for prolonged hours. Some will argue that many TV packages or pc video games right this moment are quite educational and are indeed, very useful for the young minds. Surfing by way of tv channels, you possibly can immediately find applications that are intended to impart studying such as Science or History Channels. There are also educational computer video games akin to Scrabble, Chess, phrase related games, analytical games, puzzles, and lots of more. Nonetheless, experts will tell you that watching TV and permitting your baby to play pc video games have detrimental results on the brains of younger youngsters.

You may say that watching TELEVISION or taking part in video games is alright so long as a guardian is around to test on the form of video games that youngsters play or the TV reveals that they watch. Evidently, exposing young children to video games and TELEVISION exhibits that depict intercourse and violence can have a giant effect on their improvement. Kids might adapt what they watch on TV or see in video video games and should even normalize dangerous habits if that's what they regularly see on their games and TELEVISION reveals. For example, the popular Tom and Jerry cartoons can be fairly humorous, nonetheless, specialists and parents alike have been alarmed at the violence proven by the 2 characters. Tom hits Jerry, Jerry strikes back and those who watch this present can surely snigger about their attempts to murder each other.

Many video video games present dangerous behavior too comparable to sword preventing, armed fight, and taking pictures. Youngsters that watch TV reveals or play video games like these, may think that hitting others is normal and is, in actual fact, okay as a result of folks find it funny or entertaining to observe. So then, just don't let your children watch violent applications or play violent video games proper.

The Costa Rica Medical Marketplace

Costa Rica News By Galya Gerstman – I often joke to outsiders that in Costa Rica, it would appear that traffic regulations are not obligatory, but merely suggestions, judging by what I see on the roads. I have since found that this flexible attitude toward what would normally be considered serious matters seems to extend to other areas as well. I will give you a case in point.

I have a friend, let’s call her Maria, who is a lawyer. Her specialty is contract negotiations, and so I must assume that she is a pretty deft negotiator. Why am I telling you this? Be patient.

Well, Maria went for her yearly mammogram and the doctor discovered a mass. That’s not a very funny intro, but what is funny is all that transpired after. She then went to an oncologist who sent her off to do an MRI and a biopsy. There’s something else you should know about Maria: she’s one of those tree-hugger types. You know, vegetarian (except when it comes to The Cheesecake Factory’s Shrimp Scampi), makes herself a tea when she has a headache instead of taking aspirin, didn’t let her kids watch TV till they were, like, in high school, etc. So she wasn’t overly thrilled at the idea of putting her body through these tests. Moreover, she told the oncologist, she had had the same mass 2 years ago and a biopsy at the time had shown a negative result. He was not convinced.

“That was a fine needle aspiration,” he explained, “and those are at best 60% accurate.” This was news to my friend, as well as to the doctor who had sent her for the first biopsy and the one who had performed it, she surmised. But the present doctor’s convincing demeanor forestalled her protests. “The core biopsy, on the other hand, gives us a bigger sample, and thus more accuracy.” Bigger sample meaning bigger needle? She gulped.

So first she endured the MRI, in which she was encapsulated in a big metal tube and told not to move an inch—for thirty whole minutes—while the machine banged out noise like your sixteen-year-old’s garage band. Even with the noise-obstructing headphones, she still heard the clanking and whirring, as if the Wizard of Oz’s tin man were doing a Zumba class. But the worst was not being able to move for thirty whole minutes. She was sure she would suddenly sneeze or have one of those spaz attacks where your whole body shudders, and have to repeat the process again.  And did I mention the price? Eight hundred dollars. Private medicine, of course. Otherwise she’d probably have had to wait two years for the Costa Rican Social Security to fit her in. But anyway, she was in luck. They were having a sale! I didn’t know medical procedures could be marked down (was it a slow season?) but indeed, for all that month, there was a sale on MRIs, so she only had to fork over five hundred.

After that she had the core biopsy, wherein the doctor and nurse had to give her five mammograms until they found the spot to gouge. “Isn’t all that radiation from the mammograms dangerous?” she worried. The nurse assured her it was less than the radiation one is exposed to on a transatlantic flight. Maria hadn’t known about radiation on planes. Now she had yet another thing to worry about next time she flew to Madrid. Finally, they inserted a little titanium coil there after they were done, so that for her next mammogram they wouldn’t have so much trouble finding that damned spot again.

The diagnosis: Lobular Carcinoma In Situ. Well, like any self-respecting internet surfer, my friend quickly discovered that this is the most inoffensive type of tumor you can have. “In Situ” means it’s “in place”, in other words, not spreading. The Cancer.org site began thusly: “[Blah blah blah] but it differs from DCIS in that it’s not a pre-cancer. The main difference is that LCIS cannot become an invasive cancer, even if it isn’t treated.” And furthermore: “Since LCIS is not a true cancer or pre-cancer, often no treatment is recommended.” My friend was, as one might expect, overjoyed.

Until she went back to her friendly neighborhood oncologist. “That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to come out,” he corrected her. In fact, the MRI seemed to show some very small but nonetheless suspicious masses that it would be best to remove, he advised. Moreover, he suggested removing the original mass as well as ten centimeters around it, and also injecting a substance the day before to see if it had spread to the lymph nodes or was capable of spreading to them and if so, he would take out part of the underarm as well. The man was nothing if not thorough!

Maria left his office shrunken with fright. If she had been traumatized by the MRI which was not even invasive, and the core biopsy which was only a very thick needle, she was positively quaking at the thought of surgery and its aftermath. For though the doctor had told her it was a simple procedure (for him) (she hoped to God), and that she wouldn’t even have to spend the night in the hospital, he also mentioned in passing radiation and possible chemotherapy treatments afterwards. Having seen the effects of chemo on various people before they died anyway, my friend was understandably frightened.

She decided to get a second opinion. The second oncologist she consulted was equally lauded for being a specialist. Nonetheless, after hearing stories of acquaintances’ radical double mastectomies, my friend was in a bad state. By the time Maria sat down in front of the new doctor, she was like the cowardly lion (again from the Wizard of Oz! My childhood exposure to culture was limited)—shaking and stuttering. And, doing the lion one better, hyperventilating to boot.

But this doctor gave her good news. MRIs are very detailed, true, she said. But with so many little dots and spots, it’s easy to mistake something benign for a tumor. As for the main tumor, the LCIS, however, she was of much the same opinion as the first doctor: surgery, radiation and possibly chemo. She even agreed with the armpit removal.

By now Maria had calmed down a bit, and regained some of her lawyerly wherewithal.  “Look,” she complained. “I’m hardly a B-cup as it is. You take out 10 centimeters [4 inches!], and I’ll look like an empty hot water bottle!”

“Well, I don’t think we have to take out 10 centimeters,” the doctor agreed. “I’m sure we can get away with 1 centimeter.”

“Now that’s more like it,” my friend began. “That, I can live with, no pun intended. But what’s this about removing my armpit?”

“I wouldn’t necessarily have to remove it. You get a substance injected into the area which will cling to the parts that are susceptible to be invaded by the tumor.”

“But you said the tumor was non-infiltrated. Not spreading.”

“Yes.”

“So why test for seeing if it would move toward the lymph nodes?”

“Well, that’s the usual treatment.”

“But—“

“But okay. Never mind. There’s very little probability of it spreading, you’re right.”

“Good.”

“We’ll just perform the surgery and then you’ll either do the post-operative treatments—“

“You’re talking about chemotherapy, aren’t you?”

“Well, that’s sometimes warranted…” My friend made a face. “…but as your tumor is really not a cancer, I guess we can skip that.”

Maria’s face brightened. “Great! Whew! I was really scared of that!”

“OK, then, fine. No chemo. Just radiation.”

“Uh, radiation?”

“Yes, either you do something like ten post-operative treatments for about an hour each time over the course of several weeks, or I give you one strong and concentrated blast right over the area after I’ve opened you up and removed the tumor. Your choice, but I would recommend the concentrated blast, since it’s a one-time thing.”

“Well, doctor, I really don’t like the sound of either. I mean, doesn’t radiation itself cause cancer?”

“Well, yes, but sometimes it’s necessary to remove any remaining cancer.”

“But you said it’s not invasive cancer. You said it’s not even considered cancer.”

“True, but in the future it could develop…”

“I really, really don’t want to have radiation.”

“Well, okay, then. I guess you have a point. Since it’s not spreading, I suppose we can forego the radiation. I guess you can get away with just taking an estrogen-blocker.”

“Um, you’re referring to Tamoxifen, right?”

“Yes, that’s one type.”

“Well, doctor, I read that that drug can cause endometrial cancer.”

“In very rare cases.”

“I’m not a betting woman.”

“Well, there is a new type of estrogen-blocker…”

“Look, doctor. Now, I know you might think I’m one of those crazy all-natural types, but I’ve been doing a lot of research into alternative medicine. I’ve read about all kinds of different treatments that, although not approved by the FDA (and everyone knows those guys are in the pockets of the medical and pharmaceutical lobbies),” my friend said to her doctor, straight-faced, “have cured lots of people!”

“Such as?”

“Oh, there’s just loads. Intravenous vitamin C treatments, vitamin B-17 which is extracted from apricot kernels, selenium pills, the Budwig protocol which is a mixture of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil…” Seeing the doctor’s face, she found it prudent to leave out the coffee enemas.

“I have never heard of most of what you just mentioned,” the doctor responded, stone-faced, “except for the intravenous vitamin C which is a beauty treatment.” A beauty treatment? Who’d be crazy enough to spend a half hour with a throbbing needle in his or her vein? Wait, what? If people are willing to go through surgery or have needles stuck between their eyes for purely aesthetic reasons, then why not intravenous vitamin C?

“Okay, look, doctor,” my friend made her pitch. “If, as you say, what I have is a non-cancer, and if, as you yourself said, it hasn’t changed since the first biopsy two years ago, let’s do this: give me six months to do some of the treatments I’m telling you about, and if in six months it hasn’t changed, then I’ll do what you say and go under the knife.”

The doctor sighed. “Fine. If that’s what you want. But not six months. Three.”

“Three, fine. Three is okay.”

“All right then. After three months from now, you’ll get a mammogram… Now what?”

“How about just an ultrasound? You know there’s new research saying that mammograms might actually cause cancer—“

“All right! Ultrasound instead of mammogram!”

In fact, my friend was already scheming to postpone the surgery indefinitely if the tumor didn’t change, at the price of an ultrasound every three months, if need be.

It would seem that in Costa Rica, you can bargain over anything.
