  2. Wow, I am about 40% through the book. I musr say that it starts with action and doesn't slow down much. I am enjoying the book so far.
  3. Looking Out My Back Door - CCR.........................or some "other"
  4. Try............ "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".
  5. LOL, you sound like my GD. She tells me, yeah right, I've heard that before.
  6. Must be Doin' Somethin' Right - Billy Currington Sod - do I know you from years back on a Motorsport forum? Or wrong guy.
  7. I gave my notice at work last week while I was in Charlotte on business. November 16 th will be my last day of full time employment and then I will work 18 hours a week until January 11, 2013. Then I am going into retirement , again.
  8. Seven Spanish Angels - Ray Charles with Willie Nelson.....................A nice song, i like it.
  9. I started a re-read of The Hobbit, however, I found it difficult reading the papreback (although I read it the first time with no problem )instead, Ii put in a request at the library for the kindle edition and will wait until it is available
  10. Thanks Maureen and Kylie, appreciate the info. I guess I will have to put the book on my TBR list.
  11. That is what we have at our library, 2 weeks for a new book.
  12. Ok, you all have me interested. I checked our library and they have the books available. Blindsighted is available now. with no waiting. Soon as I finish my current book I will give it a try.
  13. lucky you. I had my usual bowl of cereal. I Mix Post Corn Chex with Kelloggs Crunchy Nut and then put a few spoonfuls of fruit cocktail on it and then Vanilla Soy Milk. I can't eat grapefruit for breakfast as I am on Cardizem, a heart medication. Mixing Cardizem with grapefruit is a no-no.
  14. Kylie - I lived in the era when they were on TV. Both are superb TV shows.
  15. How many copies does the library have. Number 64 may come quickly depending on the copies available.
  16. If a person uses everything that comes with prime, it is an excellent deal. I have a Kindle Fire and love it..It is great to have almost instantaneous delivery. the biggest benefit for me is the ability to download books from the library at no cost. I have probably downloaded over 30 books from the library since Jan.1. here is some news on the kindle, it appears like we will get a refund in the near future on kindle books that have been purchased for the kindle............from Amazon: Dear Kindle Customer, We have good news. You are entitled to a credit for some of your past e-book purchases as a result of legal settlements between several major e-book publishers and the Attorneys General of most U.S. states and territories, including yours. You do not need to do anything to receive this credit. We will contact you when the credit is applied to your Amazon.com account if the Court approves the settlements in February 2013. Hachette, Harper Collins, and Simon & Schuster have settled an antitrust lawsuit about e-book prices. Under the proposed settlements, the publishers will provide funds for a credit that will be applied directly to your Amazon.com account. If the Court approves the settlements, the account credit will appear automatically and can be used to purchase Kindle books or print books. While we will not know the amount of your credit until the Court approves the settlements, the Attorneys General estimate that it will range from $0.30 to $1.32 for every eligible Kindle book that you purchased between April 2010 and May 2012. Alternatively, you may request a check in the amount of your credit by following the instructions included in the formal notice of the settlements, set forth below. You can learn more about the settlements here: www.amazon.com/help/agencyebooksettlements
  17. Those Were The days, My Friend - Mary Hopkin
  18. I have read both and my preference is "IT". However, there are many fans of King I am sure that will recommend Under the Dome. I enjoyed both books but "IT" was my favorite of the two.
  19. On the other hand, I admire her for publishing under her own name and taking the chance that it could be criticized. She certainly doesn't need the money. Publishing under another name would have been a way to go unrecognized if the book was a failure and if it was a hit she could then take credit. I give her kudos for not being afraid of publishing under her own name.
  20. As I stated elsewhere, "IT" is one of my favorite Stephen King books. btw, for all the stephen King fans, I have changed my photo. It is a painting that was done by my cousin.
  21. "IT" is one of my favorites.My wife and I travel some in Maine and there is one town we went through that reminded me of "IT" and, LOL, I was glad to get out of the town. I had goose bumps.
  22. I surely hope that it is a long novel. I love long novels when well written, i.e. Stephen King, Edward Rutherfurd, Harry Potter series, etc.
  23. It is a short race that have the Nascar driver's wifes/girlfriends racing in the cars. They call it a powder puff race. this is an awesome race track. I will have to wear my Dale Earnhardt, jr ball cap.
  24. I will be in Charlotte, NC all next week on business. Two people are coming in from Boston, two from Denver, one from New jersey, me and one from Charlotte for a Summitt meeting. the boss is taking us out to dinner Thursday evening to the Speedway Club where we will also watch qualifying for Sunday's race and also watch the drivers "Wives' in a powder puff race. photo of the Speedway Club restaurant is posted along with a buffet menu. http://www.gospeedwa...dining/raceday/
