Better that than a MABGwCO. :D

After reflecting ;) on your pics, it's not a bad thing at all. I like the new one you posted - very nice. You cut your hair. Maybe I shouldn't tell sirmyk I thought he was a middle-aged, balding guy with a comb-over.

I'd love to play Scrabble with you. I only have one friend who's willing to play with me. She lives quite far away, so we don't get to play very often. I've never played Trivial Pursuit, but think I'd like it. I'm one of those people with a headful of useless information that only comes in...

sirmyk, your two pics are nothing like what I expected from you. Hmmm, I need to rethink my entire vision of you. Ronny, you're adorable in that dress. Not dorky at all.

I enjoyed On Writing for the autobiographical bits as much if not more than for the writing advice. It shows that he's always had a passion for writing and he's not just a hack doing it for the money (as some would have us believe).

Missed all the action, yet again (I need to move to UK or at least to east coast NA). Was this thread locked? Don't see why it would have been. Great discussion. It's good to see so many voicing their opinions. ell

Kook, great thread. There are lots of King fans here. They've just been afraid to voice their opinions lately. I *loved* On Writing as well as Danse Macabre. Here's an old thread from 2002 re: Danse Macabre. Yee ha! Power to the people! Don't let people bully you out of posting...

I'm fine ricky. Going to make myself a Cosmo and sit down to watch So You Think You Can Dance. I'm a sucker for anything dance related.

There is more than one member who does it -- unfortunately.

Wow, 15 pages and this is the first time I've posted here. Hello ricky, hello ronny, hello Mr. Michel. :D

ricky, no one's pointing fingers at you over the GC threads. The real concern is on the book threads where people like you don't feel comfortable posting. ions, ruling with an iron-fist and deleting threads just because you don't like them becomes somewhat nazi-like don't you think. My idea...

It's a real concern that people don't feel free to talk about the books they want and in the way they want to. Ronny, I wish you and others would post. You know who the attack-mode people are - put them on your ignore list and carry on without responding. I know it's difficult, but it's the...

Glad to hear that Mari. I couldn't stand a library without physical books to hold, sniff, browse. Browsing in the stacks of the main humanities library is one of my fondest memories from university days.

SFG's thread about digital libraries reminded me of this thread. So, for an update: My son purchased a Mac iBook G4. He's very happy with it so far. It connected seamlessly to our home pc network and internet through an Airport Express. Will have to wait and see how it holds up in the...

I'm not sure much can be done about it since it is General Chat and they are generally chatting. :rolleyes:

My sons are given a very specific format for citing their internet references. Don't know if it conforms to MLA.

Aah, come on lies. Humour him. :)

:D, hi Martin. Funny about the laptop reference because it's something that's really taken off on campuses here. It's almost a prerequisite to have access to a laptop when you enter university. Not only are you expected to provide online reference sources, but more and more profs expect you...

Yep, that was me and I typed my boyfriend's too! The digital college library is coming and I don't think there's any stopping it. This is particularly true in the science and technology fields. It's just too expensive to stock texts that quickly become out of date. Around here, it's...

See that's my trouble with chick lit. I can't even get beyond the cringe factor of the covers, let alone buying and reading it.
