:cheers2: Hello fellow book snob!!!

:iagree: With Gretchen.

:lol: :001_huh: I agree. Passing out is not a good thing. :lol::lol:

:lol: Your post on my friendship thread made me smile through my tears. Thanks for sharing. :grouphug:

:seeya: I know tone doesn't come across too well on the forum so I wanted to make sure that you knew my reply to your post was sincere. :grouphug: I do appreciate you mentioning that there have been many times when I've felt really overwhelmed. You're definitely right. Trust me, I'm not in a hurry to grow my family at the moment. I just don't want to be done either. :001_unsure: Thank you for your care and concern! You're a real sweetheart!

:seeya: I'm looking for a good thesaurus and upon doing a search, your name came up a few times. :D

What are you using? I saw a post where you were going to get Roget's then you decided against, but another post made it sound like you did get the 7th ed in the end. :confused: What about Rodale's Synonym Finder? Do you know if it is that worth having as well or instead? Thanks!

:seeya: Hi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Discovering Art, I appreciate you taking the time. I read your post and asked a few more questions on the thread... if there's any chance you'd be willing to take the time to answer them I'd be truly grateful. I wish that Calvert showed more of their program online somewhere, even a table of contents. Thanks for any help you can give me. It's an expensive program to jump into blind. :001_unsure:

:seeya: I am reading your thread about the gifts for your kids. I just wanted to say that I totally get where you are coming from. Dh and I try to do really cool gifts for our kids, and I get excited to give them this really neat stuff. However, we have a family member who is single and quite wealthy who is always out to out do everyone. In fact she once told me that her mission is to be the cool and favorite aunt who gets the best gifts. Even if that means trying to out do mom and dad. :glare: It's frustrating. There's not much point to my message :blush: other than to say, I understand where you're coming from. :grouphug:

:seeya:Hi!! How've you been? :grouphug:

...Sounds like you have to work on your aim... :D

"You need Remudamom."

That was great!!

Moby Dick (sorry Bill) made me want to shoot myself. Middlemarch drove me to drink, and I like Brit Lit. Ayn Rand causes convulsions, except for Atlas Shrugged, which I consider Ayn Rand Lite.

I did read the first 5 pages of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Then I realiazed there just wasn't enough Captain Morgan in the world.

OMG I think I love you. :001_wub:

I'll toast to this.

I'm cracking up. You rock! :D

5 boys!:blink: No wonder you take Judo!:lol:

7am? Girl, you just get up way to early! ;) LOL. I'm glad to hear you like it. We're going to wrap it up next week too. Both dd's loved it so much that I bought the next in the series as well. We'll have to wait a while to get to it as there's a big gap between the two. :(

Aaaaaaannnnnnnnddd......... she's back!!

You're too funny. Try to stay out of trouble, would ya?

Ack! :willy_nilly: Jet. You're thinking about fall already???? :svengo: :svengo: Say it ain't so!! :willy_nilly:

Ack. You were right. :( The reason I lost my taste for coffee is my gallbladder. Sigh. (Can I just add here that I hate that you were right. ;)) Thank you for the heads-up though. I appreciate it... even though I'm miserable now. lol

Alright Paula, spit it out. :toetap05: What's the name of this mystery British book you sought after and bought? :lol:

Any luck on the White Kingfisher? I used google to search the WTM boards for opinions on the Oxford series. Here's a link to my search results, if that helps. I'm hoping this pans out. I've officially spent WAY too much on ancient history. :glare:

Are you making fun of me?? Huh?? lol. My mom used to make me watch the show with her when I was little. But I was little so very long ago... :::sigh::: :)
