  1. Just wondering if any of you heard rumors about Rowling working on a new detective series? Supposedly she was seen by Ian Rankins wife while writing in an Edinburgh coffee shop...
  2. Is afraid to go into the kitchen and den. The lttles, Mayhem and Chaos are quiet. I don't want to know...

      vodkafan, perchance you did not catch the names of the little preciousess. They are called MAYHEM and CHAOS. Not because its cute but because it is earned... never let them see you sweat.

  3. I loved the book as a child and as an adult. The mother didnt allow the canary to die, she was a working mother and out most of the time. The pet belonged to Beth. Lets not forget that Beth dies, which was even more heart breaking. It was preachy because thats what books were written for during the Victorian era. Everything was about moralizing. I found it to be a "comfort" read and I have to say I loved all the movie versions.
  4. woke up to my 18 month old grandson trying to sing "intel intel 'ittle tar"

  6. Thank you all so very much for my Birthday wishes!! I would have replied earlier but my internet was down and I hadnt figured out how to pull up the messages on my smart phone.

  7. got herself a wireless printer!

  8. Still working on Wyrd Sisters but I am finding it hard to focus. I should be finished with this by now.
  9. The adaptation of V.C. Andrews Flowers in the Attic. OMGosh I HATED that movie! It just...sucked.
  10. Just started the Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. I'm getting a jump start on my Fall course reading. Its pretty good!
  11. Just picked up HP and the Goblet of Fire. Suddenly felt the urge to read it again!
  12. Amy Winehouse is dead. What a sad and tragic life .Amy Winehouse Dead
  13. No problem Chrissy!

  14. I agree. I have most of his books on my bookshelf and have started and stopped them a few times. For me its just a matter of having the time to do it. Maybe over the winter months. I don't see me reading New York though, it just doesnt seem to "catch" me like his other works.
  15. Sssh, don't tell the hubby but I got a new HTC EVO 3D phone while I was in Hawaii! I LOVE this phone!!!

      A 3D phone? Wow, I'm so behind in the times. I'm glad you love your new phone Katrina, and welcome back!

      Thanks Kylie, its a great phone and while I was intimidated at first, its really easy to use. I don't experience dropped calls like the Sprint Olympus LG. The volume is great (no, can you hear me now?) stuff, I don't have to sit outside my home to get reception, more space, just so many pluses! The 3D is just an added perk! You don't even need the glasses to see the pics.

      @Kylie, thanks for the welcome!

  16. My hilarious grandsons. Honestly, we could be rich if I weren't so darn lazy and would get the camera! In between the antics of a 3 year old and a 16 month old, I'm watching Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford!)
  17. I missed most of it also but there will be repeats AND like you said, I can watch it online!
  18. You wanna know what hot is? Read my post on the summer weather thread!

      You wanna know what wet and miserable is, Katrina? Try an English summer.

      isnt there ANY place with moderate temps?!

       

  19. I think books will continue to be around. I work at an independent bookstore and our sales are steady. We have customers who own kindles but still purchase books. There is just something comforting in having a couple of bookshelves in a room with a fireplace! Add to the picture the frustrated kindle owner who breaks or loses their toy. I had a customer who came in yesterday to purchase a book because she sat on her kindle and it would cost the price of a new one to fix it. Many people just have a relationship with their books, the ones with the dog ears and the pen marks at their favorite passage. I have suggested to the owner that he should get with ABA (American Book Association) and start selling the ebooks also and he is seriously considering it.
  20. Masterpiece Mystery begins tonight on PBS (American Public Television) and its looking great! Detective Lewis, Agatha Christie and Hercule Peroit! I'm recording them all! Anybody else watching them?
  21. I think its on netflix but its not on streaming just yet. I'm actually watching it now but will record it later tonight.
  22. I'm watching John Wayne in True Grit. Me and the hubby love westerns, not the old '30's but the later ones. Their much gritter!
  23. We're planning a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida for the sole purpose of visiting Hogwarts! I would love to re-visit Hogwarts, the Burrow and even Privet Drive!
  24. That's the question heh?! Where there African's on the island at anytime before Caesar? Or did any remain after the Romans left, So I guess during the Iron Age? The African's had already been about midway into their Iron Age before it was introduced in Britain.
  25. doing prelimenary research. For all you Britons, have any of you ever heard tell of Africans being in Britain either before of just after the Roman occupation?

      Almost certainly with the Roman Army, Katrina. Might also be worth exploring whether traders from Carthage reached our shores. I'll PM you
