Got the third proofer's stuff back and have already entered the easy stuff - she caught a few things no one else, including me, has caught. I have to run about ten things past Muse Margaret who isn't home at the moment. Once we decide on those, then the book goes to Grant, hopefully by the end of today.

Had our short work session, then had lunch, and then had to deal with a bit of silliness from our theater - it never ends, I guess.

We had a little rain a little ice and a little snow last night. Today it will be in the 50s and all go away. I am very happy we got some moisture. We needed it

That is crazy that you can go from so cold and then get 50s in the winter.

I think we are actually supposed to warm up towards the end of this week (but maybe only barely 40F). And that is super unusual. IT has been freezing or under 30F the whole winter.

We had ice covered by an inch of snow. It was 54 today and it's all gone. I'm starting to like this, think I'll quit wishing for snow and start wishing for spring rains

Holy Communion, Batman, some of the grammatical/verbal mistakes in this story are hilarious. Thankfully, I have never mixed up the words Eucharist and uterus.

Funny. With constant use some of these might become acceptable foods in the dictionary.

One of my pet peeves, instilled in me by my father the doctor, is "I am nauseous". The proper word was nauseated. If you were nauseous it meant you made others nauseated. Due to misuse of the word it now has two definitions.

Oh, I did have to do something from my end on the Nook. Once the book was downloaded it still didn't show up for me to read it. She told me how to add it back into my books. The 2nd person I talked to wanted me to add all my books back in. I don't know how the Kindle works but on the Nook that would have opened every darn book back onto my home page-no way was I doing that.

on my kindle when i download a book it just appears on my kindle. And then i sort it into a corresponding folder (by author or genre).

Copy of a letter I posted on FB which talks about the last 24 hours.

Dear People that took advantage of going through my car because I didn't lock it:

Enjoy the show tunes and 70's music and array of vocalists on my iPod. Oh, and that Playlist that says "The Matt Tracks" - that's me.. I don't want to hear that any of those tracks get any sort of air play or wind up on youtube.

Also, that guitar is not really a Fender and it doesn't stay in tune when you play it. In fact, I was in the market for a new one, enjoy whatever you can out of it, or for the $29.99 you may get if you pawn it. It sucks.

But most of all, thank you for not damaging my car in any way. It makes everything else seem not so important anymore.

Matt

Fixes done and entered and the book has been sent to Grant, who can hopefully get to it soon.

Unlike you I don't have that many books unread. Once I read them I put them into the "Nook Cloud". All I ever see are the unread, or currently reading, books.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** February 17, 2014, 04:25:47 PM »

I only had 99 books in total but I sure didn't want them all on my page mixed in with the unread books.
