Thanks for the well wishes.....after Napa and Sonoma last week, I doubt we will beat that on the wine front.....but we can die trying, eh? See you in three weeks....Pam
Good to have you on board. I am leaving the country on Sunday for 3 weeks. Will be back 11/1. Keep the faith!
Of course you are :) Thanks for the recommendation!I am not sure if I can handle a book set in the second world war right now, it is a bit like my shying away from domestic Irish violence. But if the story is really about the characters, rather than the nastiness of Europe in 1944, I might reconsider. Please advise...
Thanks for the recommendation!! Always looking for something good to read.How are you? I hope you are well. :)
Welcome to the ADMIN group at ALEXANDRIA!
She, I just sent you an email. Let me know if you get it because it seems not to works always. Thx.
Eid al Fitr is the festive period at the end of ramadan. The importance of this celebration is comparable to Christmas. A world without seasons ... can you imagine it? Well, the United Arab Emirates is such a world, or pretty much so. I hope you are indulging in eating some of the fungi: boletus used to be my favourite, as it was nigh impossible to misidentify the species. Non-mature puffballs [slice them up into the poor man's steaks] are great too.
Awsome. There is in fact very little to do. I am adding you up, and welcome on board. I am also adding you up as a friend so I can send you a private email about the group and what we do. Like I said, there isn't much besides a bit of supervision. Talk to you soon and thanks again.
Hi She. I would like a couple more administrators to join pampe and I at "The Alexandria Group." It's really not much work but I have been keeping too tight a grip on the group and I wish to be less prominent. Is that something you would be interested in? Please let me know and all I'll have to do is add your name.
Hi there She! I'm sending this by personal message because I don't want to antagonize anyone (else) in WomenSpeak, but I wanted to say thanks for your support in this cause. This was posted today in Broadsheet, the women's news section of Salon.com (an admittedly super-liberal pundit site):You know that e-mail everyone's been sending around, encouraging people to donate to Planned Parenthood in the name of Sarah Palin? So far, it has yielded $802,678 in donations from over 31,000 people, from all 50 states, two-thirds of whom are first-time donors. Thank-you notes to Palin, care of the McCain campaign headquarters, will begin going out next week. Yay us!
"Sadika's Way" by Hina Haq. Cannot find this on Shelfari?
Every book by Maalouf is a delight and gives one precious insights, I can assure you! Because of Eid al Fitr I am back in the U.K. fo a week, so the academic responsibilties are taking a backseat. Instead of sweltering heat, I am now dealing with gorgeous falling leaves. I am following your presidential elections with great interest and am pleased that you are an active democrat! At present I have got two thirds of the way through Baltasar and Blimunda, anoher gem by Saramago, but more demanding than others I have read.
Thanks for responding on Girls Like Us. I had to return it to the library unfinished. I found myself skipping through to read one life at a time, in particular Carole King's. This did not work well since the author was presenting the music of a time and how the women fit into it. A good organizing principle, but she often told me more about the scene than my curiosity allowed. Lovely site, lovely life. I also like to live where I can see the water.
He was receommended to me by...in our household we consider him on the smartest men on earth. We think he has a photographic memory BUT he is humble and will not admit to it. A family friend of ours. He recommended Pablo Neruda this week. I can't wait. I will discuss with you once I am done. :) I hope you are doing well.!!
I agree...MY STROKE was a super read and as a Medical person, I found it enthralling!!!
Thanks.........small world, I'm from central Mass & vacationed in Falmouth this summer. I'll bet you enjoy the fall when most of the tourists leave! Enjoy the gentle moments.......Deb
Nevermind, I found it & requested it from the library. Thanks for the recommendation!Deb
That book, Cellophane sounds wonderful but I couldn't find it on your shelf. I also looked it up on Shelfri but couldn't get an author. I would like to request it from the library. If you get a chance, could you tell me the author's name?Thanks much!Deb
I stumbled upon your profile & shelf last night and updated my own shelf with books I'd forgotten I'd read and many that inrigued me. You made me smile as I sought out some new reads. May I ask where you live?love & light,Deb
In the vein which I keep my friends...You life seems so peaceful and everytime I read your profile I wish I was there. I am an Esclated Call Manager. I argue with people almost eight hours everyday. Today was a bad day. but I am happy to hear from you.
