I'm reading "The Caine Mutiny".
Queeg is the Captain of the Caine.
So that is why you have been so quiet! Sounds like me . I read and read until I have finished, sometimes all night!
Rick, what was your favorite book? Mine was a simple tale that had so much you could extract from it. The Old Man and the Sea is my all time favorite.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh...now I know what you are on about!!
I remember you saying about that book the other day but I had no idea who "Queeg" was.
I used to read heaps and even more when I was pregnant - now - I have just finished the book I started the week before I had Tyler.
I get to read about 10 pages a nite if I can keep my eyes open that long.

It is hard with children, Lexie. What do you read? My mother used to read classics to us before we could talk and so also did I.
I have broad tastes in books...at the moment I am reading the serious *through the stones* by Dianne Gabaldon.
I love books set in Africa, horrors, adventure and some classics. I dont like mindless romances but I dont mind a story that has a hint of romances.
I dont like war stories.

We have been talking about reading to Tyler but havent found the ideal time yet.

It's good to have varied interests in your reading. As far as reading to him, try reading aloud, instead of to yourself sometime. If you have children's books , do the same, show him pictures, but don't expect him to show a lot of interest at first. It'll come with repetition.

Don't have a "favorite" book.
Really? I actually even have a favorite book-movie. I first read "Grapes of Wrath" and have watched it many times.

"Mindless romance" - redundant phrase?
"Mindful romance" - Edward Teller and Marie Curie?

Lexie, how do you stand selling clothes? Gads, I've been taking pixs all day and I still have to list. The bad thing is, unlike selling scooter parts, there are no repeats...Just thought I'd jump in here and complain.
Its a bit monotonous isnt it??
But hey...if I could find something that I could make as much money out of ....I would jump all over it
I only list 50-75 per week...otherwise thats all I do. Are you going to wait until *Free Listing* starts?

Hi Lexie and Mrs. M.
The court martial is about to begin.

What free listing?
Well, I know you won't be around much tonight, Rick....but, if you are reading, that's ok!
ATTACK OF THE MRS. M's.
Hi, Rick and Mrs. M.
At last, I've found a picture that fits me!

Rick - keep me informed ...then I wont need to read the book

Lexie
Lol, Ford, I know how you feel, really! 
Thanks anyway, Lexie, thought I missed something!
Rick, too any nurses..there's a shortage, you know. How's the book coming?
Billie, where are you? We have missed you the past few days!
Squeaky, I know where you are this week, but if you pop in, hello to you!

Well, now I've learned something - where the character Queeg came from.
I came across the name in an episode of Red Dwarf. It depicted a tyrannical martinet of a Ship's Computer who made life hell for the crew but turned out to be an April Fools day jape by Hollie, the actual Computer.
"We are talking April, May, June, July and August fools....."

Good Day to you Gardengnome! Rick will get a kick out of that!
Hi Lexie and Mrs. M.
GG - That's funny about Queeg.
Christine - great picture. Looks like you have a lot of assignments for your Masters.

Hi Lexie. How's life at work? The other day someone came into my office. He'd been watching cartoons and he wanted to know if I knew if there really is such an animal as a Tazmanian devil. And I was picturing rows of your little jumping tazzes....
Hi Rick. Between full time work and almost full time school, yes, things can get pretty hectic. It looks like you're doing some "educational" reading, too, with one of the classics.
Hi Mrs. M. and everybody else. Gotta get back to work now. Have a great day!

I'll answer your question about Ford's school work load..they show no mercy!
Hi Mrs. M.,
The school work really isn't all that difficult. It's the volume that keeps me busy. I'm about a third of the way through and have a 4.0 GPA. That doesn't say much, though. It seems like classes get easier and easier with students knowing less and less with every passing year. It's hard to believe what some of the kids don't know when they graduate. But enough of that rant....
Tomorrow I plan to drive into Flagstaff (about 58 miles--or about 93 km, Lexie ) and use the NAU (Northern Arizona University) library to look up some information. I graduated from there and have a card. It's easier than driving to Tucson (270 miles/435 km) even though that's where I'm enrolled. And, of course, a little bit of shopping is on the agenda.
So...I'll talk to you all this weekend. Have a great day!

Yes Ford, I know first hand on both issues! Have a safe trip!
Morning Rick, Mrs M, Christine, Billie, GG, Squeaks and anybody else who may be lurking
Christine - Thank you for the metric conversions hope the retail therapy goes well.

Rick - Hurry up and finish that damn book so you can get back in here
Better go get ready for work

The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) cannot be mistaken for any other marsupial. Its spine-chilling screeches, black colour, and reputed bad-temper, led the early European settlers to call it The Devil. Although only the size of a small dog, it can sound and look incredibly fierce

I agree, Lexie! We are going to revolt!
Hi there. I've just started "The Court-Martial-Second Day, Afternoon". I won't have to testify, but I'll be involved for 2 or 4 more days. Queeg is a slippery one.
(If the above sounds crazy, I'm reading, and enjoying, "The Caine Mutiny").
