I just saw this thread...I loved the interview. She has a strong character about herself, very confidant in herself.
Vamp, I didn't know your name was Bob.
Now, I can just add this to the 60 books on my reading list to get to and try it out.
Would authors please stop writting so I can catch up on all this reading!
If you visit her forum, you will see she was scared to death and was afraid everyone would notice her slouching. She is so funny. |

I was just killing time waiting for a phone call, saw this post and thought I’d drop in some trivia: The term ‘macaronied’ is an archaic term that was used in the British army to mean wearing braid and ribbons for parades and special events. The ditty, Yankee Doodle, implies that Minutemen (American soldiers during the Revolution) were too poor for braid and ribbons so they stuck a feather in their caps and called it macaroni.

I'm always up for trivia...thanks Jeff :-) |

I learn so much from you. I needed to know this. I will think of this everytime I sing that song. |

Do you have a scanner or access to one? That would make a lot better image for your screen saver. Or you could try taking the picture with indirect natural light, and placing a piece of glass over the book to make it lie flat. Doing this on a your porch in the shade would work well.
You can then crop the image, it only has to be 600x 800 which is not huge.
Hope that helps.

Better, at least folks will have an idea of what they're getting into. Not everyone reads everypost, hard though that is to believe. Some actually use the subject as a guide about what to read. |

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.
