I hate the Kindle.

Oh, not only the bookstores, but all of the manufacturing plants-the shipping companies, the artists, the printers, the ink manufacturers, paper companies…on down the line. My grandfather worked for book publishing company in New Jersey .. He had a library filled with so many books he had to keep many in boxes- mostly the children's books in boxes. We could see the room through French Doors and were so antsy until he let us in- seemed like forever.  He would allow us to go in and look through the boxes and choose one book each visit ( I never understood why it was only one when he had so many– now I know it was to keep it special & leave us wanting more 🙂 It was very exciting and I still have one of my favorites from when I was about 7 or 8- a collection of stories, poems and songs. My sister found one of my other favorites at an old bookstore and gave it to me for my 40th birthday. I was 5 when I chose the book from my Grandfather's stash and would read it every day– until it was lost in a childhood move.   I cried like a baby  when I opened the gift – I LOVE it, love it, love it. It's just a little Golden Book ( hardly high-brow taste in reading material 🙂 I  was surprised by the illustrations…many of the things that I love and collect today are in that book!  It brings me so much pleasure to look at my old books- can't do any of that with a Kindle. Blech.

EVERY time I see someone talking like a crazy person with that blue tooth thing attached to their head I think: BRAIN CANCER.  Next -they will implant a telephone chip in their heads and those crazy people won't need a phone at all…prewired to a satellite 24/7. OHMYGOD, I HATE all of this…   I. AM. OLD.

Yep, of course you love your kindle… one word for you, Nancylee…ready for it????   REPUBLICAN !

I was super anxious today as they were hooking me up….my bp shot up to 111/80 !   Despite my anxiety disorder and my high strung personality – I'm actually very calm on the inside…my heart rate was only 68 !   

I'm alive…and can't wait for the next election…Romney, Trump's hair, the morals guy diddling his secretary while his wife suffers cancer , the homophobes and the bigot/racist Santorium. Maybe hauling Palin out… with Bachman.? I'm itchy twitchy to see the circus!!  Oh,  add the puffer from New Jersey. Hysterical. Can' t wait.  I can't wait to see how they are going  to skin our grannies alive and smooth it over!!  Fun times to come.

I  consider you too much on the Republican side? If I were to consider you, it wouldn't have anything to do with your political affiliation–unless you're expressing a opinion based upon a political leaning. I'll take what you offer at face value.  Really, Jerry…I'm not narrow minded at all!!  I'm compassionate toward those who are politically *lost*.   Refusing to use the self-checkout is a good sign that you can be rehabilitated. It's a slow process- but most people can be counted upon, eventually,  to see the bigger picture, to really think about what's best for everyone and, then,  realize which group they belong – politically    –>

I buy my books from the book stores or Amazon if I'm in a rush. I'm certain someone touched their peen or nose and touched my item . I usually swap with my sisters and friends. I try not to swap anything with  men 😉 You never know where their parts have been.

I don't usually put fingers in my mouth while reading. I wipe all surfaces with Lysol. But you have to know that the people who prepare your food in restaurants have sweaty peens and drippy noses and you can bet they're not wiping them to your standard. Yum.

Well, the swap usually goes one way- my sister buys crime novels , my friend – inspirational or christian related books- I'm not interested in either type. I'm the buyer, they're the recipients. I'm not touching books with snot or any of the aformentioned  items.  My copy of The Kitten Twins was spotless. Belonged to a collector …a librarian who didn't read or snot the books…she owns a book store and is a Golden Book hobby collector. The only reason she agreed to sell it to Suzanne – she had three. I have two friends who own an old map store in Manhattan…they rarely open the maps or snot them 😉 Theyre sold snot free ! I get the snot thing…reason I didn't take my kids to the library…they wanted books, we bought books.

Honestly, I just didn't find the clip funny at all. I'm not a fan of British or Irish humor, slapstick or inappropriate, ugly topics incorporating slapstick, Brits or Irishmen 😉 . I watched  until the pelt came flying out. Ick. I didn't laugh once. Not to say I only like clean jokes or I don't find waxing an amusing topic… has to be presented in a clever, witty manner.  

I'm glad you enjoyed that poor woman's shame/pain.

*I* touch food, Bonnie.  I wash my  hands before I make the food and before I eat it. I use chopsticks to eat Sushi, two fingers to eat ribs and my burger usually has a bun?

As a teen, I worked in the kitchen of a seafood restaurant. I told this story on the Darkside. I've seen horrible stuff in a kitchen. I was a picky teen girl…lots grossed me out. I paid too much attention to my hair, makeup, fingernails, clothes, boys, etc. My Mom thought it would be a hoot for me to work in a restaurant …teach me to be humble ( I was humble enough!). My job was to pick fish heads and tails. It was disgusting. They would cut the  head and tails off and filet the rest. They never threw anything away. They would make fishcakes and fish balls with the meat that came out of the head and tail. It was my job to stick my hands in the disgusting hot mess of boiled head/tail and pick the meat from the skin and lord knows what else was in there.  No air-conditioning in that stinky kitchen. I saw more than my share of disusting health violations. Chef picking his nose and flicking it around the food. Licking the spoons that went into the cooking pots. Food on the floor, plopped back on the plate, itching scalp dandruff falling into food—ugh ( the slimy fish tails and heads were at least sterilized!). One of many bad summers in my life.

I am always on the lookout for snot 🙂 and other disgusting dobees 🙂 But isn't it the funniest thing…your own babies snot doesn't make you sick? I could wipe/touch that stuff for years and i wouldn't bother me. It's like their poo, you wipe it and don't think anything of it…same with spit-up. Have an adult do the same, or a person who isn't your baby- BARF.

I don't mind audio-books- concept around for a long time and wasn't threatening to kill books. I don't know if you were on the boards when my family took the long, RV, summer trip around the United States. Did I mention it was looonnng? I listened to books on cd. It saved my life-3 months in a RV with 2 kids and a dog…you need noise in your head of your own choosing ! I enjoyed the celebrity readers much more than the author readers…they were very stiff.
