I started reading when I was four years old, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. As my mother has remarked, if there's nothing else available, I will read the toothpaste tube. I read everything except romance novels, and as long as the book is well written, I'll finish it even if I'm not thrilled by the story. I guess I'm always... more »

    Greetings Shelfari friend!

    Haven't been around much recently, too busy with life!

    How are things with you?

    Read anything good recently?

    I'm now on my 89th book so far this year!

    Hope all is well...

    What's this, what's this? A nasty head cold? Never fear, dearie. Nurse is here. I've got a steaming pot of the needful and no I don't mean butterscotch rum. Now just you lean back like a good girl and let me adjust these straps.... Not too tight, I hope? Now open up... I said open! Drink it down - whoops, don't forget to blow on it first.

    Sigh. Mentally erase that second 'i think', please!

    'Bunnicula'! You're reading 'Bunnicula'? (I read that in Laurel's notes) Oh! I love that book. I read it rather late in life, but it's marvellous at any age, i think. And yes, 'Chester' and many of Harold's comments get better the older you get, I think.

    Thank you Daisy. I haven't written to Mrs. Danvers yet. Time has been scarce and I want to take my time with the letter and get in the right (English) frame of mind. Thank you for the tips. =)
    I'm going to visit your shelves now.

    Oh, well, like Count Fosco, Count Dracula is wicked smaht, you know. Now that I'm older I'm more into the ladies and less into the whole male vampire-hunting schtick. Get bored with the whole tracking-down-the-coffins thing.

    My thoughts exactly. I also hate the whole "I invented the sugar cookie" attitude, particularly since you know she has a huge staff who come up with these wonderful ideas. I think she's largely responsible for the Pottery Barn-ization of our country, with all the "clean lines," granite and stainless steel. I hate all of that. Give me furniture that's hard to dust any day.

    No, but I will now. I have a love-hate relationship with her.

    Oh my dear! This monkey man is obviously an imposter! Only Dr. Sergei Volonsky's monkey gland treatment is the real thing. Don't settle for a cheap imitation - you'll wind up looking like Kim Hunter in "Planet of the Apes"!

    That's an admirable strategy.

    Oh, dear. Can you stash them behind a painted veil? He really must be dealt with.

    Dear Ms. Daisy, Please have no fear. I am fine, but feeling quiet. Not depressed, just quiet. Out trip this summer was not the best one we've ever had. Staying in the BFT, so near to my old house, was extremely trying.

    I love your new name, but I must say I miss your old avatar! But this one is darn cute.

    I will return, just not sure when, but maybe soon.

    Thank you for thinking of me.

    I have been deeply, DEEPLY underwater with my little musicale extravaganza! Yes, that's EXACTLY what Ne does - SPROING!!! (not to be confused, as you say, with "Schwing!") :-)
