I have three tattoos but I am seriously considering more. I have one on my wrist that I want to "finish" by making it into a bracelet, I want to get one around my ankle and I think I want something on my back- probably something religious with my late father's initials worked into it. I'm just...

Another lazy Sunday here. Lunch and supper at the in-laws, long afternoon naps, all that good stuff!

Most American public libraries should be at about the same level of service. If not, do some complaining !!! American tax dollars pay for it, so it should all be up to par. I don't know what the checkout limit at my library is...I suppose its because I have never been told I've got too many...

I guess in my case, I desire what I can't have. I was born in southeast Asia and have never lived anywhere there has been a real winter. I've only seen snow a couple of times in my life.

I wear a combo, antiperspirant and deoderant. Doesn't waxing armpits hurt? I know my eyebrows hurt when I have them done, and it really hurt when I did my legs (once). The "in" thing among the teen and young adult male population here is to shave the whole body. I dunno, but I think, a...

I enjoy winter more than summer. Where I live, we have only two seasons: a really long summer and a fall/spring mishmash thing. It snows here once in, oh, about ten years. And I sweat just thinking about being hot. So, I just prefer cool weather. Unfortunately for me, cool weather won't...

Yeah!! Baby! I know where I'm gonna be Thursday nights!!! I've been looking forward to this all summer. :D

I just checked out that link. Man, that looks awesome! Now I'm on the prowl for those books. I'll let you know if I find them.

Shutter Island by Dennis LeHane. The ending of this one blew my mind!

Yes, tragedies like this do bring out the best in poeple. For some people, thier best is shooting and looting, but underneath the bad publicity, there are people who are opening their homes and hearts to those who have lost everything. Food for thought: I read once, in a ranking of the...

This is not the only forum to which I belong, but it is the one I visit most often. I am a member of craft forums and other book forums. What makes this one my favorite? It wasn't the first book-related forum I found, but it had more activity than many other boards. I was thrilled to find a...

I have kept journals sporadically throughout my life and I am keeping one now. I find that at certain times in my life it helps me, emotionally and intellectually. At this time in my life, I have some long range goals with several obstacles in the way and my journal helps keep my goals in...

The worst is not over for New Orleans. The water is still rising and there is no safe place anymore. The authorities want all non-essential people out! I have cousins that live(d) in New Orleans, and although I'm sure they got out, my sisters and I wonder where they are and if they need our help.

Gumbo freezes very well, just add the rice when you are ready to eat.

Now that is what I call scared!!!

Yo!!! I'm here and just fine. We are about 100 miles west of New Orleans, so we did not have to evacuate. The worst side of a hurricane is the eastern side. laboi is even further west than me, so I can tell you he's fine, too. We have been getting lots of wind and rain, but nothing too...

Novella- your gumbo sounds fantastic! Leck- andouille is a type of well seasoned smoked sausage

This book has been on my list for a while now, so I'm trying hard to remembr the reasons I want to read it. Primarily, historical women in the maths and sciences are few and far between, I want to know more about her for myself and , maybe, for my daughters. I would like to be able to...

I'll try there, thanks for the tip.

I decided this morning, that if all I want to say about a book is that I liked (or didn't like) it, then that's what I am going to do, it's my perrogative. That should be, is, and will be, enough. If someone else wants to know "why", they can damn well ask me. Maybe I don't want to...
