I would never ruin it for anyone. Just wanted to say - What a ride! It was an excellent book! Sorry it's all over.

I finished Harry Potter! Never fear - no spoiler.
Wow - what a great book & series. Brilliant! As Ron would say.
Harry Potter Book
I've never read them, not my cup of tea, but my daughter has been reading them right along. She went to Harry Potter Night at our local bookstore the night before the book came out. She had a great time and got to get the book just afternoon midnight. I read today over 8.2 million copies of the book were sold in 24 hours.
Agree with all yours and add Harry Potter movies...nm

It sounds like you probably would like to see the Harry Potter books burned too
People like you are why I have a problem with religous nut cases. The last time I knew God = love. God loves all his children no matter what. You are just filled with judgement and self-righteousness. I believe that if someone is being physically abused of course remove them. If they are living the ways their religion believes and it is not hurting anyone leave them alone. So what if they wear funny clothes and their hair looks funny to outsiders. What gives one religion the right to dictate how another lives. Yes I know polygamy is illegal, children marrying and having sex with adults is disgusting in my opinion, but we should try and understand each other. I heard a quote one time that said "Don't tell me how I should or should not live and I won't tell you how you should or should not live". We are not The Creator and we should not be judging people. Let the courts handle it when they've got something legitimate and solid to work with.
I have a Chihuahua named Mione. My daughter named her after Hermione from Harry Potter. I also ha
We also have a hamster named Sandy.
N/T- I know a few spoilers
so I know what that means, but I don't want to give them away on the board since I know there are other N/T watchers here.
Warning: spoilers
That's an interesting thought - about Ben using the smoke monster to spy on people. It has also been used to kill people (Mr. Eko) so it's pretty powerful. But then, Ben doesn't seem to hesitate to kill when it serves his purpose.
I don't trust Juliette - I think they left her behind as a spy. And from the previews, so does Sayid. Maybe we will find out a little more next week (ha!).
Wasn't it interesting that Kate met up with Sawyer's ex-GF? So many connections that the other people don't know about - Sawyer meeting Jack's dad, Claire being Jack's half-sister....
And what about Sun's pregnancy? I know it's early days yet, but surely she should have morning sickness or something, just to remind people that she is pregnant.
I think Nikki at least (and maybe Paolo) got out of the grave and covered it back up so the others wouldn't know they're alive. For what purpose, I don't know....but somehow I don't think we've seem the last of them.
 How pathetic is my life that I spend so much time thinking about a TV show???
Yeah, like when Tom Potter
decided Portland would opt out of the Terrorism Task Force because they refused to give him the same security clearance as the two cops that would be working under him. I think the government pulled various funding from the state for that. Probably do the same thing with this.
Please do not post spoilers. It ruins it for others who haven't seen
if you are on the east coast, the west coast is 3 hours earlier. Thanks. Administrator
Yes, I saw it (no spoilers unless you haven't seen the latest episode)
Not a whole lot of new information, just mostly confirmation of things that are already known, like yes, Desmond's failure to reset the computer was the cause of the airplane crash and later when Desmond turned the key it did temporarily make the island visible so Penny knows about it - but they didn't follow up on that. This is my guess - but presumably the ship that the woman who parachuted onto the island is trying to contact was sent by Penny.
They touched on the idea of the interconnectedness of these people but very lightly - just hinted that there was something that brought this particular group of people together. Interestingly, they didn't say anything at all about the people from the tail section, but the show that was run last night was only 45 minutes because Grey's Anatomy ran 15 minutes over. The one that will be shown next Wednesday is a full hour - I'm going to watch that, too.
The main thing (as far as I'm concerned) is they reiterated that this is not purgatory or anything like that, everyone is actually alive, but they said they are....let me think....."somewhere in the space-time continuum."
Interesting....
My Lost thoughts (spoilers inside)
I'm sorry that Charlie died, too. He slammed the door shut, and seemed to have at least a few seconds before he did that. So why didn't he go outside the door where Desmond was and shut the door from that side? As he was writing on his hand, we were all joking at our house that he'd write, "I should have shut the door from the outside!"
There's hope, I guess. Dead people do seem to appear again on the show.
Wow! So we know they get off the island... or at least Jack and Kate get off the island. How amazing to give up that information! So obviously, that's not the big "hook" question for the conclusion of the series. Sooo many questions! Soooo long to wait for answers!
Who saw the Lost seasone finale? (warning: spoilers)
I can't believe Charlie really died. For a good cause, okay, and he was never my favorite character, but I feel really sorry for Claire.
And what do these people want, these ones on the frieghter? Obviously from Jack's "flash forward", leaving the island now is not a good idea. Why? What does Ben know? Who sent the ship? Penny's father?
It's beginning to look like Locke has a point about not leaving the island. Maybe they are meant to be there. Maybe there is something that they can only accomplish toether. But what?
Hurley was so cool, coming to the rescue in his VW bus. Go Hurley!!
Other thoughts or speculations?
sorry...Harry S. Truman

Nearly finished with
"I Can't Live." by Harry Nilson, heard that the night, sm
my boyfriend Jack broke up with me when I was 17. He just walked into where I was working and introduced me to Barb. He broke my heart. He is now an ophthalmologist in Florida.
Anyone who has just finished school
would be more apt to pass the CMT test. However, to say that would eliminate "toilet errors" is not the way I see it. Someone with a lot of years experience in this field is just as good as a CMT if not better. Passing a test and putting initials after your name means nothing when it comes to work ethic, discipline, and experience. I just think if you have 9 years of experience, you are going to be just as attractive as someone with a CMT. It seems to me companies or physicians seek well-rounded MTs that have experience in quite a few specialties as opposed to having CMT after your name. I am not so sure physicians are aware of this testing process, but the Nationals seem to have bitten on it, but I'm not so sure it gets you any more money. I've read posts where it does not gain you anything more than something else to put on the resume. If you want to become more attractive, then I'd say branch out into more specialties or may be even take a business course to expand your knowledge. CMT, in my opinion, is a waste of money especially when you have verbatim accounts and the client is always right, no matter what "the books" or for that matter AAMT has to say about the way it should be done. Just another opinion. 
I have never finished a beverage to the end of it.
Finished- burp.......................

I just finished a book by
Mary Kay Andrews entitled Savannah Breeze. Great book! The next one I will read is Savannah Blues (same author).
No I haven't finished it yet, but I will ...sm
post my thoughts when I do.
I read it...UGH. I only finished it
because I felt I had to in order to maybe reap some benefit from it and form my own opinion. It didn't do a thing for me at all, can't understand all the glowing reviews and accolades. It really was a chore to get through, IMHO.
Just finished my shift...sm
Hi SAM! It felt like such a loooong shift with all the tough dictators. But that is behind me now. Weatherwise, we hit 70 degrees once so far, now back down to the low 50s. I love how the days are getting longer.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Harry F. Truman and Jimmy Carter were both Southern Baptists...sm
when they were presidents of the US...ergo Christian denomination. 
Getting new hardwood floors. They are going to put down pre-finished. (sm)
I haven't picked out style and colors yet. I know I don't want really dark or really light, but there are sure a lot of variations in between. Different size planks too. Anyone had good/bad experiences with the prefinished ones?
I just finished it last night after I got done work - sm
stayed up until 2 reading. I figured out some of it before it was revealed in the book. I loved it too. I know everyone is happy here that I am done, I would not let anyone near the book because they kept threatening to read the last chapter and spoil it for me.
Hey, I just finished making him tostada
a while ago, Slim in bed snoring away, I have the house all to myself, he came in after a long hard day at his new job....Couldn't let the boy go hungry now could I. He shared his cheese and wine with me, then the gang came in, drat!! He is a real cool guy. His wife will be arriving from Brazil in two weeks. He hopes to have their apartment set up by then, not too far down the road from us....
I'm SO finished with the stock market! As soon as my
I'd rather have a little money that I know I can keep, than tons of *fake*, on-paper money that I could lose the next time some a$$hole decides to fly a jet into a building.
Nope, I'm FINISHED! Even back when - sm
I was making a little money in the market, what little profit I made was taxed much more heavily than my regular job money. Not to mention all the extr forms and headache at tax-time, as well. Not worth it for the 'little guy', even when the market IS going up. But after all the dishonesty and stock-tweeking that's been unearthed and brought to light in the past year or two, I'm through with it. I'd rather have less cash-money that I know I can keep, than lots of 'funny-money' that only exits on paper, and can disappear at a moment's notice. I'm not wasting any more of my hard-earned money to make a bunch of crooks rich.
yippee, whoohoo -- just finished my taxes!!!
talk about procrastination...dang! down to the last minute, i'm still trying to gather up last year's paperwork. then, about had a panic attack as i was finishing up, wondering, what if i get audited? just glad it's done, i think.
I just finished her book, "We're just like you, only prettier." sm
Some easy reading, funny stuff.
Right now I'm reading Ann Rule's "Worth More Dead." She is a great writer, but I need to read light things once in awhile to cleanse the palate, so to speak.
