Don't ask, don't tell is perfect in this situation

Harrrrgg , i'm done.

It required an announcement? When most folks are done, they just walk away, they don't make announcements in a "look at me!" fashion. "I'm leaving now, bye!, I'm leaving!, hey people!, I'm going!" Thanks for it though, I wouldn't be able to tell if you were done if you hadn't posted about it.

First an undercover threat of moderation from a guy trying to grab menbers from BaR to moto with his discrete banner.

I'm an atheist, so there is no threat (from me at least) that your offensive post would warrant moderator attention. Sharing your viewpoint is one thing, doing so in an offensive way is quite another.

I'm "stealing" members from the forum? I must have missed the notice of that in the membership agreement. Could you point out the specific part where "advertizing" another board in your signature is prohibited? Could it possibly be that most people here are members of more than one board? We aren't talking about marriage here you know.

and them pure archive work from the "Where are you" thread.

This part makes absolutely no sense. I believe you mean to say: "....and then pore over the archive work from the "Where are you?" thread."

If that is what you mean, I completely made up that instance. If I am wrong, please post the specific link and provide the post # from which I took that specific instance of the bank robbery item.

I was unfair, i'm warming up to this thread.

I just used a Clive Cussler to stabelize a piece of wobbly furniture.
Nice.

I will be finish The Turn of the Screw while listening to tsunami warning siren's. I don't live in an evacuation zone so we are fine but they are pretty much closing down the island and telling people to stay put unless you are in a danger zone. Good opportunity to stay home, do nothing and read. The power will probably go out so not much else to do after that.

If I get through that book I'll be starting Water for Elephants.

The Turn of the Screw is a deceptively thin book. The writing is so formal that it really is slow going. I was expecting a one day read but it certainly isn't.

I'm quite confused at the moment...It's weird, but I don't know what book read next.
Initially I made up my mind for Alice in Wonderland, but my sister gave it to a friend of hers...thanks sister! just ruined my plans! -.- and...i dunno now...
Virginia Woolf "To the lighthouse" has caught my attention, but am not so sure about it....

I finished off the last fifty pages of Heir to Sevenwaters, and now I've taken up The Handmaid's Tale to read.

I'd heard good things about it and it very much lived up to its hype.

A fantastic book! The ending is not quite what I expected, but it was very meaningful given how simple it was.

Finished Maestro by Bob Woodward by finishing the last 120 pages. Read the first 50 of The man in the gray flannel suit by Sloan Wilson. This is one that I've always meant to read, you read about it a lot in history books and monographs about the 50's.

Spent the whole morning reading the last pages of The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, started off yesterday evening.

So SFG do you recommend To the lighthouse?

I found a bookmark. The publisher included one in the book, which is fine. Except they hid it in the middle of the book, so it's going to have dog-ears up until page 50 or so and none after that. Meh, I say. Meh.

[sparkchaser]

You dog ear your pages?

Bad, beer good! Bad!
