free books? and other randomnosity

randomness #1

It's late, very late.

I've spent the day with two little toddlers (or rather preschoolers, now)

listening and occasionally intervening

to running

laughing

arguing

crying

fighting

laughing

smalltalk

etc.

It's been an interesting day. I'm amazed at how much patience my almost three year old grandson has for my four year old granddaughter - who is all about her self, right now, as many four year old girls tend to be.

He is more apt to share, and to show concern when she wants a toy, or is scared of something, or gets hurt...

Once in a while though, he puts his foot down and refuses to listen to her, or to give up a toy - this majorly pisses her off.

She needs to learn - not everyone in life is going to listen to her.

Randomness #2

I tried this once before, and it didn't work, as in NOBODY wanted....

I have quite a few books piling up - that I've either read, or can't bring myself to finish.

Once before I tried to offer a few up "for grabs" - NO STRINGS.

There were absolutely NO takers, which I found surprising

{oh wait! I did have one person request the LKH books I put up for adoption}

Then again,

I did have very few followers

I now number a whopping 68 followers (though I doubt all 68 tune in)

Maybe I should try again...

If I offer up a few books

to a good home

for FREE

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

would you be interested?

if you would, leave a comment and I'll put up a list of books I'm willing to part with

some are newer,

some are older

some are barely touched,

some are very used - used hard (that's what she said)

Some are popular authors

some are obscure

but every book deserves a caring home

I've donated quite a few books to thrift shops, already

these are some I'd like to see if anyone is interested in...

so comment, already!

Randomness #3

I realized tonight that my list of weblinks hasn't been updated to reflect a lot of the writers I like to read,

or bloggers I like to keep uo on

So off the top of my head,

I tried to remember which authors I like to check up on regularly

which bloggers I like to read (that don't show up on my google lists for whatever reason)

found new links for them,

and attempted to update my blog list...

it took me hours - HOURS !

Not really - it did take around an hour though

Randomness #4

I have a facebook account

which I rarely do anything on

\except play Zynga games

I used to like Farmville quite a bit -

actually, I go back and forth with Farmville

I like it, but once in a while become completely frustrated with the cost (fv $$)

I've tried Frontierville

too many missions to complete

too many trees to cut down,

snakes to clobber

bears to scare

critters to nurseback to health.

I've also tried Treasure Island -

lots of digging

uses up the energy 5, 7, or 10 at a time

:(

I've found myself enjoying Citiville quite a lot

I like to go on to Citiville at least three times a day, in fact

My only issue with them....

uses up the energy too fast, replaced too slow

everytime I want to expand

the price goes up by at least $50,000

That's right

fifty THOUSAND!

last time it cost $185,000 and 20 permits

NOW

I'm trying to amass $225,000.00 along with the 20 permits

I only have 12 Citiville neighbors...and that's where you get the permits

I

Need

Citiville

Neighbors

Want to be my Citiville neighbor?

Randomness #5

last thing

Does anyone else watch

Being Human?

I'm not referring to the SyFy channel's lame version,

but

The BBC America's Version

of Being Human.

With the handsome Mitch (vampire)

the kind of silly George (werewolf)

and the relentlessly cheery Ann (ghost)

I really enjoy watching this show

Only one thing bothers me...

The amount of red that is shown when Mitch or another vampire feeds

seems wasteful to me

blood is EVERY WHERE

if I were a vampire, I don't think I'd have blood everywhere when I fed

But then I'm not a vampire

:)

good thing, because I like my meat welldone
