I'm reading Amy Tan's "The Opposite of Fate." It was in the biography section at the library and is full of musings from her life. If you like Amy Tan's fiction, you'd probably like this one too. It's really good so far. I was flipping through the pages and saw what I thought was a little...

I'm working on the Foundation Series too, though I started with the Robot Novels (read them several years ago) and am now working my way through the Caliban Trilogy according to the recommended reading sequence at Wikipedia (it's at the bottom of the page). I don't know how long I'm going to...

Mmmm... coffee & cookies. If I were to win the lottery, I think I'd move to some flat, sparsely populated, northern part of this country. Each day I'd wake just before the sunrise and go downstairs for coffee & cookies and a book or the newspaper and watch the sun come up. If I became...

We recently went to KFC and discovered that they have the crispy fried apple pies. We were in heaven. Run, don't walk, to your nearest KFC immediately! Mmmm.... fried.

We usually turn off the porch light and retreat to the upstairs. There usually aren't many kids that come by, so we can't be bothered to sit around waiting for the few that might show up. Seems like there are more kids in the neighborhood this year, but they're really loud and obnoxious. So...

Wow, that's excellent!

I used to work with a girl whose whole family had weight problems. Her father died from complications of diabetes and she has recently developed diabetes herself. A coworker asked her about her diet and she mentioned that they were baking cakes once or twice a week and that they couldn't...

Too bad it's Krispy Kreme giving away the "doughnuts." If someone were giving away doughnuts that actually taste the way doughnuts are supposed to, that would be even more motivation for the kids to get better grades. :D

Yeah, that's pretty fascinating! Here's some more info. :eek:

Jumping the gun here a bit, as it is still the 19th. But anyway... Happy Birthday to you both! :D

You're in favor of "Blingin'" and "Word", but against the use of LOL and LMAO? LOL, oh well. Welcome anyway! :)

I'm mostly attracted because it doesn't cost me anything, and because I can search for books on their web site and have them put on hold for me. When they arrive at the library, they let me know via e-mail that they're ready to be picked up. I wander around the library occasionally, but most...

I bought my last book from the library, it cost me $0. Once I'm done with it, I'll be returning it so that someone else can get it for $0 as well. It's a pretty cool concept.

... and me, peering from amongst the shrubbery.

That's bitchin'! I like how when you loop or turn back around, you can see your trails.

Oooh, I wish I could stand to eat squash. Occasionally, I'll find one variety that doesn't taste too bad, but most of 'em gag me.

How can people not like cats?! You pet a dog for one minute, and your hand smells. I don't care how much you bathe it, your hand's still gonna smell. You pet a cat for three hours, and your hand smells like... your hand. Plus cats are generally quiet and invisible a lot of the time. :D...

First, I thought of Guinness stout (which doesn't do a thing for me. I'd MUCH rather have Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, or perhaps a Duvel or Old Peculier). Then I thought of the Guinness Book of World Records. Last, I thought of Alec Guinness. Though I don't know (or care) who the heck he...

I saw Oliver! a dozen or so times when I was about ten years old. That was a good one. I'd be tempted to read Oliver Twist, though I recently tried reading Hard Times and couldn't get into it. I'm either getting burnout or it just isn't that great a book. "You've gotta pick a pocket or...

All I've seen so far are the ads for Thrifty50. I clicked it and followed some of the subsequent links. Looks like it's targeted at senior citizens, but it led to some coupon web sites (didn't see any coupons I wanted).
