I think she's seriously into menopause. Lots of nonsense blather; no conversation.

And Rusty.

I'm gonna call it a night before she has her few moments of evening lucidity.

rivers have crested, and as far as I know, clinic did not flood. At least it hadn't as of 5:30 when I left. But the water had gotten within prob 100 yards of the front door. Watched the Hudson River rise all day.

This is scary, I knew exactly what she was talking about.

This is when it's great to be a grandmother. Took granddaughter #3 shopping and to dinner. She picked Golden Corral also because she'd heard from her younger sister that they now have cotton candy and a chocolate fountain. Towards the end, she said, "Why am I shivering, it's not cold in here?" Maybe because your bloodstream is so full of sugar and chocolate you won't get to sleep until 3. And took her home. //evil laugh//

That's what he said.

Yes, it is.

Had a great talk with step-mom tonight. my frustration with sis exploded out. She listened, agreed with much, told me where I was wrong too and now I feel lot's better. She let's me explode it out on her so it doesn't come out on sis, and sets me straight too.

I'm a very lucky girl to have a mom and a step-mom who are so different, yet I'm so close to both and they give me a whole lotta love.

Made a semi-crappy day all better.

dontwantaname wrote:Maybe she is just removed enough to be honest, yet still care.

she's living out of the country, so she isn't here for the day to day crap, which makes it easier for her to not be up in the middle of stuff.

and she knows us both very very well.

I just put a sweater on because I absolutely refuse to close a window. Even though it's 58 degrees.

Had son download The Help and borrowed his Kindle to try it out. It's okay. I can't honestly say I'd prefer one over the other as far as reading. I have two problems with eBooks. One, you can't trade them. And, two, books I like I read many times. And even though you can have them all on the Kindle, it's not like browsing your bookshelves.

And right now The Help has me hooked.

dontwantaname wrote:Oh, did I tell you that my son took a bunch of my books? Books from high school and subway travel days. (2+ hours a day on the subway is good for reading.)
I said, why not download them?
He said


//gasp



I like books better.

I also like to be able to tell how far into a book I am or how close to the end. Even though the Kindle says 35%, that doesn't quite do it for me.

Night all. Tomorrow.

//RANT!
Today was a total and absolute waste! Got up too damn early after staying up way too stinking late. Got to photo studio, spent two hours fighting the toddler and being delayed by other customers who came to pick up their stuff about every 3 pictures we took (only one girl working). Then after waiting the two hour processing time (where they get all the pictures so you can see them) we find out that EVERY SINGLE SHOT IS OVEREXPOSED!!!!!!! There are only about 3 shots in the whole 2 hours that is useable. All that work into matching outfits and custom flower accessories, none of them are useful. One picture of Ver2 was so over exposed you can't tell where her skin ends and the white of her dress begins! $40 in gas wasted! An entire Monday wasted! We didn't get any photos. I won free photos and didn't even get those. Left my number for the manager who I have a good relationship with, but the reality is we have to give our our 3 day weekend next weekend to go back and have a do-over. I feel like The Day the Ponies Come Back (2000), am utterly exhuasted, and I gained nothing from the day at all.

//END RANT

I like my Kindle well enough. I've gotten some Kindle only books and they are good. I definitely don't have the same eyestrain as I get with normal books (especially paperbacks), but I love real books. I love the smell, the feel, the look of the ink on the page. The eyestrain is the big seller for me though.

Good morning all.
A full work week is going to kill me, especially with all the kids back.

pooflady wrote:This is scary, I knew exactly what she was talking about.

Ditto.

Good morning everyone.

Hope wherever you are that you are getting temperatures as nice as our area this week. Guess what No1? It's still summer here but it's not hot and humid. Woohoo!

Good morning everybody!

edit:

I love my Kindle. I miss reading a real book but I like the convenience of the Kindle. I miss the covers. I haven't figured out how to read back if I missed something. I will be very glad when library e-books are available on the Kindle. I think they will be available this fall. I hate not being able to borrow books.

Morning!

I think it must be a girl thing, as I understood as well.

morning, y'all.

I also don't like not being able to trade books. I have a couple people that pass books around.

If everyone had a kindle, you can share books. My sister and I do so. She's the only one who reads the same randomness that I do, so...

Mornin', folks.

Still not back at work; damage must have been worse than they thought.
