Sometimes when I'm reading a novel and I'm not sure if I want to finish it, I cheat. I look at the end to determine if I want to continue. I rarely do this, however, I would have done it with my current book if I wasn't using the Kindle app on my Nook. The app is not all that great.

Keith purchased a book, using the kindle instead of the more convenient B&N even though the price was the same. He asked me to read the book & discuss it with him. I rushed to do so in spit of the fact I have a heavy book from the library I need to read before it expires. I found out today that he stopped reading the book and only wanted me to tell him what I thought of it. Obviously he doesn't like it.

Yes, he does have a legitimate reason, we know the author's husband. He takes a long time to read a book and figures it is nothing for me to accomplish the task-lol

Now that I am almost done with the book I found him out. I made a comment that should have gotten a laugh out of him and he didn't "get" it

Pant Your Wagon.....I do not know from this show.

Is that the musical where you breathed hard on a wagon?

Done about seven or eight pages so far. Am taking a little break and will certainly write another seven or I'll just binge write and try to finish. I'm about to end the penultimate chapter, which will take me into the final chapter.

So glad you had the guts to take on James O' Sullivan on Facebook. I didn't. I thought I was being nice by saying that seeing Gwen Verdon on stage and on film were two different things. I wanted to say that he never had the opportunity to see her live on stage (too young) and he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. I am so glad I had the opportunity to see her perform live.

I haven't accomplished much today, but I did fix a nice dinner that we shared with our upstairs neighbors - pork roast, broccoli/cauliflower/carrot medley, applesauce, and potatoes (prepared by Rob).

And I finally got into the book for the Wednesday book group at the library where my career began - Philip Margolin's Worthy Brown's Daughter.

DR Jane, the story opens in Phoenix, Oregon, which I discovered is not far from where you live.

Does your library e-book stay on your nook (once it expires) if you don't turn on your wifi? I have noticed that I can keep borrowed e-books if I don't turn on my wifi. Or books i loan out don't disappear unless i turn on the wifi. Although since i turn on my wifi a lot I would probably forget.

Btw i know people who always read the endings first. I could never do this.

Good evening. I had a nice day birding in the desert. We found some birds that we cannot identify.

Evening all! Hope all are doing well.

I had a good day. Went to a doctor about my eyes and found I was correct about needing a little surgery. No worries. I just have a bit to much skin (like my Mom did). I was told it will only take about 20 minutes per eye and I won't even need to be put under.

It has to get approved by the insurance which may take about six weeks so it won't happen right away.

I seem to be in mist of a new car buying trend. Thelma got a Ford Escape like mine (before me), My ex boss, Glenda bought a brand new Ford (the model about the Escape but I can't think of the name), my friend Linda (who rides the bus with me and lives around the street from me) bought a new Chevy last weekend and this week the other Glenda (my co worker) just bought a Ford Focus.

I've never owned a brand new car before Nellie Belle but I confess I am loving her!

LOL, very close indeed. I drive through it when I go to Jacksonville.

I believe that would work but I don't want to be in the position to test it, plus I like to be able to use the internet.

DR Danise, new cars can be fun for a good long while

The eye surgery sounds simple.

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:39:32 PM »

Starting the final chapter in about fifteen minutes - it's going to be at least fifteen pages long and since I've already written about nine pages, I'm not all that sure I have it in me to do all of that tonight, although if I get on a roll I might just.

bk · « **Reply #80 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:39:44 PM »

Page three? Really?

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:55:23 PM »

Three hours of work on cha-cha and tango mostly tonight. One of these days, my feet will land in the right place, my hips will turn when they're supposed to and the upper half of my body will not.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:56:11 PM »

Elmore, I wish I could get started on my taxes tonight. I don't even have my W2s yet.

All the best with the eye surgery, Danise.

Loved this story of how a 5-year-old is being charged for having missed a birthday party and not informing the host he'd be absent.

About twelve pages so far. About fifteen to go, so I'll take a brief break now, maybe shower again, and then mush on as long as I can.

Did the host of the party have to pay money for the kid to come, so that the host was actually out the money because the kid didn't show up?

Who should bear the loss - the host of the party, or the parents who didn't decide to let the host know so that the host could cancel the ticket?

This sounds like a case for Judge Judy.

FJL · « **Reply #88 on:** January 19, 2015, 08:13:01 PM »

Or since it's England, maybe Judge Judi.
