Aw, how sweet Kaelee. I'm glad to hear you hung in there too.

*grins* Mmm, and how is your cake Orchid?

Amanda, a man who actually listens and eats what you put in front of him without a word is a keeper, and it's exactly what I wanted, since it is yours to share, thank you for doing so.

You sound more and more like me every day Deb, except for the athletic part...

Hi Chista.

Thank you ladies, for sharing your thoughts. I have another question to post today, but my alpha wants to go shop for a new kitchen table before he goes to work, so it will have to wait til this evening.

You pretty much echoed my thoughts Sam.

My dh is a good guy who can be both sweet and agressive, depending on the situation.

How fabulous is that?

All I can say is Yay for for you all. As readers, as community members, y'all have done a fantastic job so far and I know there's still the best to come.

 

I don't re-read. I am lucky to get time to read it the first go, there are too many new books calling my name, and if I read it a second time the inner editor kicks in and starts nitpicking, regardless of how great the story is.

It depends Barbara.

Check out this thread, it'll help, and if you have a question afterwards you'll find my email on there.... somewhere...

Great ideas everyone.

I've not been reading (ducks the chucked items). Don't make me give you a list of what else (not fun) is on my plate right now. We'll all get tired reading it and you'll question my sanity more than some of you do now.

But I will definitely make up for it.

I'm moving when the school year ends, so once I have everyone settled and back into a routine I'll actually have some free time. I may not recognize it at first, but it'll be there.

I generally read more in the summer anyway. I take the kids out swimming every day, for at least an hour, a couple of times a day, and I read while we're out there, so I will get my 40 in july and aug and then I'll keep reading til the end of the year. All told I'll probably make about 60.  

 

Sandi ~ We're always just an email away, and definitely, if someone sees something that offends them they should give us a heads up. to We'd prefer a warning to stepping on a hornets nest. It's also always possible that we may have read it differently or (been half asleep at the time).

 Also, there are the tire kicking threads still up, use them, it's what they're there for.

The one thing I am going to say about the proposed changes/glitches is to ask patience. Contrary to the misconception, big forums/sites like these are not fast fix. Even for a tiny change the techs/designers have to triple check every line of code, on every single page/link/database, etc. Then it all has to be uploaded and beta tested, then pulled down and stuff has to be fixed, then it starts all over again. If we put an unstable site up it wouldn't be any better.

Unless of course you're like me and quite literally never get time to read unless you're on the move. Try making spagetti and holding a paperback, or sorting/folding a mountain of socks while reading. When you figure out how to grow that extra hand let me know.

Debbie, we are working on a central site for that, or at least I think we are... Jayne?

You know, I was thinking when I was making supper (and yes, I did stop working long enough to feed my kids)

We typically do our "speaking to" off the boards so unless someone is going around asking everyone if they've been scolded, or others are gloating that they've gotten away with something, this is all supposition.

Even among us hosts, unless we send out an email advising one another of a potential problem then we don't discuss who has spoken to whom.

We could always devise a "naughty" list... and everyone we have to discuss a situation with would be put on this list and said list then could then be posted...  otherwise there is no way for everyone to know who has been chastised and who hasn't.

And who'd like to be scolded on the boards and publibly humiliated? I know I don't appreciate it.
