There are lots of things in the Good Books

Isn't it interesting what we choose to take from them? An abuser will quote *spare the rod and spoil the child* as justification for beating a child to death. Guess he missed *thou shalt not kill* or maybe his priest/minister/rabbi/iman interpreted that commandant as not applying to a crying child or one that has had an *accident*. Guess that's why there are so many religious wars: It's not so much about what Jehovah/God/Allah said as the agenda of the human who interpreted it.

Selling things other than MT equipment,books etc
Does anyone ever post things to sell/trade other than MT items on this site (in the classified)? I am a wah MT and I am looking at reaching out to some wah MT's who scrapbook as a hobby and would be interested in joining a hostess club I am setting up. I already have some people signed up and just looking for a few more. I am on the MB for the cricut website, but trying to reach out to other MT's who like this as well.
Thanks for your help.
There are lots of things
Chocolate, greens, and by the way, for fiber sprinkle flaxseed over food- no taste, mix in, you never know its there and I second the recommendation about prunes- cooked, dry, very good source.
men carry lots of these things
Women get Trichamonas, men don't *get* it - they are just carriers of it and hence both would have to get treated. Men can be and are carriers.........
try googling HPV and you can find out TONS of info on the subject
My grandparents swore by it for LOTS of things

Try WD-40. I've used it to remove lots of things.
If you go to the WD40 site, specifically the page "2000 Official Uses for WD-40" below and enter "rubber cement" it does indicate that it works.

There's lots of things kids can do at home
all summer that are worthwhile and free. Take them to the library once every week or two and get them reading! Where I lived as a kid it was hot all day, so I read all day and played outside in the evening when it was cooler. It doesn't have to be books, either. It can be magazines, comics, or whatever. Just the 'reading' part is the key. I used to read and re-read old comic books, Life magazines, National Geographics, and books on animals and earth sciences. I also think I read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn multiple times each during the summer.
Kids can put on a neighborhood circus (and make some cash by charging admission). They can put on a pet show. We used to have pet shows, haunted houses, dog shows, cat shows, talent contests, bike races and foot races, too, and hurdles contests.
With some scrap wood, hammers, nails, etc., (if they're not too small) they can build things. We all had tree houses in just about every large tree in the neighborhood. My friend built a go-cart, and I built a wooden wagon. I also collected rocks, and used that wagon to haul home my latest acquisitions from around the neighborhood. (Much to my mother's dismay... she apparently didn't have the 'rock-gene' that my siblings and I all seem to carry!) Starting collections of any type (even if it's not rocks) can be a fun summer pastime.
Making mud pies and cookies was fun, as was collecging pollywogs and watching them magically turn into frogs.
A job such as painting a fence (a-la Tom Sawyer) can be a messy but fun experience for kids. Or, creating a mural.
Art projects are fun, too. How about giving each kid a journal to write their private thoughts and dreams in? Or, an older child can be taught the basics of cooking or sewing, which will come in handy some day when they're older. You could also teach hand-sewing, beading, embroidery, etc., and let kids make themselves a T-shirt or tank top, shorts, etc. that is work of wearable art.
Or, how about starting a veggie garden for the kids to take care of? They could also be involved in cooking and eating what they grow.
Even though it seems useless, the down-time in the summer, spent just doing NOTHING, isn't as bad as it appears, and when kids don't have every minute booked up for planned activities, they learn to explore what's interesting to them, and amuse themselves.
experiment books, how to draw books, origami, map skill books

I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
There is a site I have bought lots of home made things from
and that is Etsy, have you heard about that one? I bought everything from soaps from the cake soaps to lotion soaps, bought some beautiful bling plates off there, hand decorated coffee cups for Christmas presents, flower pens also for this past Christmas. I love to look thru there. Go there and see what you think.
Good Books
Is anyone else into medical mysteries? I love Robin Cook and Michael Palmer and actually pick up terminology from them.
I also love Ann Rule - she truly does rule - she writes true crime.
I occasionally still read Stephen King and Dean Koontz (only if it's not supernatural - he's really faltered there).
Lisa Gardner is awesome.
Any other avid readers?
Good books/authors
Erica Spindler is great -- mystery/crime can be gruesome but she has IL and New Orleans in mind -- her first book that I read was based in IL, and I knew EXACTLY where she had the book plotted -- Tami Hoag is another great "mystery/crime" writer but if I want "light" I have gotten into Debbie McComber and her "numbered series" -- like a soap opera and when I read Marley and Me 450 pages finished it in a day and a half plus working 12 hour days -- BTW -- JMO, but the book is much better than the movie 
I have some good books actually and she might find help for celiac sm
I have Bette Hagman's bread book. I have made cornbread (as good as the real thing or better), Boston brown bread (heavy, but wonderful toasted with jelly on it) and a garbanzo and sorghum bread (YUK). The biscuits were so-so. The muffins were a disaster, but I think I know why. Now, her pizza crust from her French Bread Mix (you make it yourself) is absolutely TO DIE FOR. It is better than the real thing to me. I had no idea what it was like to enjoy a veggie pizza with a chewy crust without hurting when it hit my stomach and then all the way through. It was PAINLESS and WONDERFUL!!!
I love the Food Allergy Survival Guide which is free of animal products, dairy, nuts, peanuts, soy, wheat and I don't know what all free. Stuff in there is a mixed bag. Some of it is lovely, some is heavy and icky like vegetarian/vegan food in the 1970s and 1980s, so gross.
Because my celiac piggybacks with lupus, it is imperative to follow the diet as strictly as possible. Lupus had blown my iron binding capacity so I run around anemic if I don't take daily iron. I have to be on steriods which will compromise my bones, so I have to take calcium and vitamin D. Celiac, untreated, flattens your intestinal villi if they don't fall off to start with. Now, 90% of celiacs can regain them if they watch what they do. Without villi you risk malnutrition and certainly anemia, brittle bones, canker sores and every sort of ailment related to vitamins and minerals. I am in a risky position if I don't watch it because the dangerous consequences of both my AI diseases overlap.
I have lost a much needed 40# or so since I started steriods (prednisone) and a celiac diet. I had been feeling better, but I think I must have had a dietary indiscretion (like too much protein for about 5 days running) and indulged in things that were no-nos. I am paying for it. I can't wait to get back to where I feel good.
Longer nights of rest, back on iron pills, strict celiac and vegetarian eating, no eggs and cheese no more than once a week...I'll get better. It is no fun being such a pain in my own patooty!
Good ideas - I was thinking about the books
too.
Running where's your Avatar?? I love that Avatar!!
check out orientaltrading.com; has lots of pre-made kits you do yourself and good prices. nm

I've sold 125 books on half.com but most were my childrens college text books. I have sold some
t I picked up for a quarter at a thrift store. Old Dr. Seuss books do well. I price them a bit lower than the rest of the pack and put that they are from a nonsmoking home. Half.com does take a small commission but they deposit the check in your bank account monthly.
Books! That's it? Books! I was expecting
maybe some leather chaps or some strap ons by the sound of your post! lol
Lots and lots of SKATING ! - sm
Mostly inline street skating, up & down hills, too. Some roller skating and roller-disco. I was doing ice-skating, but can't afford it anymore, plus I prefer to skate outdoors. It works all muscles, is low-impact, fairly quick to learn compared to other sports, like skiing, is a cheap sport, and excellent for keeping balance & reflexes sharp. Most of the people I skate with look & act 10-20 years younger than their chronological ages.
I MAKE the time to skate. I eat my lunch at my desk, but take a break in the late afternoon before it gets dark, to exercise. This can also include a walk or jog around the neighborhood, bike ride into town to go to the market (cheaper than driving), a fast inline skate around town, or dance practice on a local tennis court. Then I work into the evening for as long as it takes to finish up.
By trial and error. Lots and LOTS of error!!! -nm

There are books

Books
I loved Anne of Green Gables, and I also loved the Nancy Drew books.
Books
I couldn't get enough of Dr. Seuss. My father used to read Green Eggs and Ham to me allllllll the time. I gave him a copy when my son was born so he could carry on the tradition with his grandchildren. I then moved on to Sweet Valley High.
more books
Ok then my kids loved all the Dr. Seuss books and Mercer Mayer books!
Try these books - sm
The God Delusion and God is NOT Great. You are not alone.
books
are there any books that tell how to become an IC?
my son had always liked the J.R. Tolkin books sm
like Lord of the Rings, etc. just a suggestion.
Med transcription books
I was wondering if any one could recommend a good drug book. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good surgical book? Thanks!
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
One more suggestion - buy the books
second-hand and/or get the paperbacks for those out in paperback. No need to go broke.
Which is better - books or movies?
I never really caught on to the whole Harry Potter thing - it even took me a while to like the movies. But everyone is so crazy about the books, my curiosity is killing me. I don't have a lot of extra money to invest to quash my curiosity, so which should I invest in - the movies or the books? I do know that usually books are better than movies, but I'd hate to spend all that money if the movies are just as good!
I loved them both, but get the books
and then nobody will have to talk you into seeing the rest of the movies, LOL.
Plus with the movies you don't get into Harry's head as much, and that's where you get to know Harry. I can only imagine that people who only see the movies don't know him nearly as well as the readers do.
Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago. I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school. Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Not that big of a deal. Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
My favorite books
My absolute favorite book of all time is Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman. My next favorite which are hard to find (the author passed away) is by Day Taylor - The Black Swan & Moss Rose.
I used to like Danielle Steele until she started making her characters snooty, but her older books Thurston House, Palamino and The Ring are some of my favorites.
Another good one is Barbara Taylor Bradford's "A Woman of Subtance". Bout a woman from the 1800s/early 1900s who went from being a maid to being a successful business woman. My husband saw the movie and he loved it.
However, I wish I still had the book Paint the Wind. I could read that over and over and over.
Truly A Day for the History Books
DH replaced the empty toilet paper roll last night.
In the 32 years we have been together, this is the first time I can remember him replacing a roll. Please don't tell anyone else because they would probably kick him out of the He Man Club, which all men who don't replace rolls (and that would be 99% of them) secretly belong to.
This is one of those days where, years from now, I will think back about what I was doing when I discovered it. (Sort of like people do with other significant historical events.)
In my world, this is at least as big as discovering a cure for cancer, landing a man on the moon, or discovering life in outer space, so I just wanted to share the good news with you - because, ladies, it proves that there is hope for the rest of you!
Those are my very favorite books ever...!!!
I've read them all more than once and just LOVE them. Can't wait for the 7th book, but I think that's the last one, which makes me sad.
I never knew there were books
I had never heard of the books, although then again we don't have any books stores in our town (except the section in Wal-Mart and Fred Meyer). I have heard a lot of times people like books better.
sorry... books not boooks nm

Unwanted books
The same thing happened to me Some time ago, I ordered a book. In very tiny print, it said we will be sending you books annually or how often. You can review them and keep them for a price of . They are hoping that you will just keep the book and send them the $$$. I did finally call and tell them no thanks.
Unsolicited books being sent to me - sm
From a magazine I subscribe to. They are trying to get me to purchase various related books from them. I always refuse the package and do not even open it, then they send a bill or two, and then it begins all over again. What does everyone suggest I do? This is getting really old. 
Classics/Books
I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.
I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich. I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries. I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers. What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion. It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal. My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 
OH! I LOVE the Eragon books! Yes! Get him one! nm
nm
if they had read their history books, they would not need to ask..nm

Janet Evanovich's books about
Stephanie Plum are wonderful. They are fast reads, very funny, relaxing. "One for the Money" is the first one.
I would love to send you 2 books. Please consider sm
this. I lost 2 family members on the same day back in March and I know your pain. email me and I will get them out to you.
I know you are looking for on-line help, but these books can be read in a day. Very easy reading. One book I know the author personally, attended a class he taught, and is a very good man. Email me.
Kim
Same here, I actually thought they were kids' books
What is so great about them? I do love to read so I am just curious what could possibly be happening in those books! My 13-year-old niece had her nose buried in the new one all day today she barely looked at us. lol. If they are that good I may be borrowing hers :)
That's why I don't read anything else but self-help books. Guffaw. nm
Y me?
Nancy Drew books
My daughter used to read those when she was young.
Stephenie Meyer's books
called the Twilight Series" - they are really good and I was so surprised. Fun to read. They are now making a movie of these and we are awaiting the fourth book that is supposed to come out in May. Go to her website stepheniemeyer.com and yes, I know that is a weird way to spell stephenie. I bought these for my daughter and then I ran out of things to read and they were really good for a change of pace and now I too am "hooked."
I passed around several transcription books -sm
at the beginning of a semester to a class at a business school for the 20+-year-old students to see various TX resources available and afterwards, one book was "missing". I was very surprised. Bottom line: The bookstore was out the book, and I hated the loss for the school. Actually the bookstore was probably out twice for the book if it was afterwards returned to the bookstore for resale by the student who stole it.
I've read the books (sm)
We actually got HBO solely for the reason of watching this series. So far it is...okay? I love the books but the series is not sticking strictly to them, and is changing some things that I don't think should be changed. However, by itself, I do like the series. Just hate it when they go from books and change majorly seriously big things!!
