MARTHA JEAN - 18.02.2006, 16:53BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MY DAYS ARE USUALLY BUSY, BUT I DO CARVE OUT SOMETIME TO READ OR LISTEN TO BOOKS ON TAPE.
MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TWO READINGS GOING, A BIO, A NOVEL AND A MAGAZINE OF SOME TYPE.
THERE'S A BOOK BESIDE MY BED, A BOOK IN THE CAR, A BOOK ON TAPE FOR WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND I'M LISTENING ON TO SLEEP.
A MAGAZINE ON THE COFFEE TABLE TO READ IN BETWEEN THE PROGRAM WHEN THE COMMERICIALS ARE MUTED . READING IS A MAINSTAY IN MY LIFE.
ARE YOU A BOOK PERSON? WHAT DO YOU FAVOR?
RIGHT NOW I'M READING AND LISTENING TO, " ON WRITING " BY THE GREAT, STEPHEN KING. IT'S MORE LIKE A LESSON AND I KEEP GOING OVER THE MATERIAL SO I CAN PRACTICE WHAT HE'S TAUGHT.
LET'S CONVERSE ABOUT THE WRITTEN WORD.

unfortunately i cant call myself a book person, Martha, reading little and desultorily bits of everything and never getting to remember authors nor much of info. but reading always succeeds to set various moods thus creating an atmosphere of variety thats why i often find it one of my most comforting and comfortable companions. SOrry can`t share any experience with you which could be of much interest nor novelty. Hope others will have more to say and keep the topic up. i`ll be glad to READ, of course :wink:

I don't read a lot at the moment. Used to be a bookworm in my teens :D. The last book that I read was "The Da Vinci Code". Yes, it's absolutely thrilling - unless you start to think about it. Then it's just bollocks. :?

I am reading a high standard book, wich will make me more concious of nature and all around it. Its been an eye-opener and brought me many spiritual experiences while reading it. Not to mention the lovely biscuits and cakes that i learned to bake. The book is called: Grandma's cooking with Marijuana Green cookbook.
I want to thank granny for writing it.

YESTERDAY, I WENT TO BORDER'S ( THE LOCAL BOOKSTORE ) AND GRABBED MYSELF A BUNCH OF DEORTATING MAGAZINES , A CUP OF COFFEE AND SAT FOR HOURS READING THEM.
IT WAS RELAXING, INTERESTING AND I WROTE DOWN SOME IDEAS I COULD POSSIBLE DO IN MY OWN HOME.

Does Borders also have a cafe like Barnes & Nobles does??
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 20.03.2006, 17:42
YES, IT HAS A NICE CAFE, THAT'S WHERE I TOOK MY MAGAZINES TO.
THEY HAVE BARNES AND NOBLE HERE TOO, BUT NOT TOO CLOSE TO MY HOME.
I LOVE JUST SITTING THERE FOR HOURS AND LOOKING AT STACKS OF BOOKS OR MAGAZINES THAT I HAVE NO MONEY FOR.
I WAS SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU LIKED ENGLAND SO MUCH.
IT'S WONDEROUS ISN'T IT?
THE ONLY DRAWBACK FOR ME WAS THE HORRIBLE WEATHER IN THE WINTER. I JUST HAD SUCH A HARD TIME GETTING AROUND IN IT SINCE I DIDN'T DRIVE.
SINCE YOU LIVE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY USE TO THE COLD SNOW AND SUCH. IN THE DESERT, THE SUN SHINES ALMOST DAILY. BUT IT DID RAIN YESTERDAY, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I WAS HAPPY CAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TO WATER MY TREES AND PLANTS.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 21.03.2006, 15:45
Yes, England was very nice, especially Manchester (Mickey's hometown). But, the weather there is a bit too wet for my taste.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 21.03.2006, 16:32
I KNOW MANCHESTER VERY WELL AND WAS THERE A FEW TIMES.
IT WAS INTERESTING WITH IT'S DERVERSE POPULATION.
BUT THE GREYNESS FINIALLY GOT TO ME AND IF I GO OVER AGAIN
IT WILL BE IN THE SPRING, SUMMER OR EARLY FALL.
DID YOU GET TO ANY BOOTSALES WHILE YOU WERE THERE?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 21.03.2006, 18:17
Nah! Our money there doesn't go far, so I did no shopping whatsoever. They have it much better when they come over here & cash in THEIR money - no fair!! :D
I DID see the block where Mick & his dad used to live, though.....
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 22.03.2006, 15:52
I SURE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE MONEY NOT GOING TOO FAR OVER THERE, THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE BOOT SALES.
ALSO, COMING FROM A PLACE WHERE MOST THINGS ARE VERY CONVIENT, I FOUND ENGLAND VERY INCONVIENT.
IT SEEMED TO ME THAT MOST THINGS WERE SO SMALL, THE HOUSING,THE WASHING MACHINES , DRYERS ( IF ONE COULD AFFORD ONE) AND REFRIDGERATORS. I FELT A BIT CLOSED IN OVER THERE.
BUT THEN THERE WAS THE WONDERFUL, FRESH FOOD ( HUGE VEGETABLES), NICE SWEETS AND THE BEST OUTSIDE FLEA MARKETS I'D EVER BEEN TO.
DID YOU TAKE PICTURES OF MICK'S CHILDHOOD HOME? WHAT SORT OF FEELING DID YOU GET FROM SEEING IT? I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THAT.
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING THROUGH THE NEWEST VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE. A FRIEND GAVE ME A SUBSCRIPTION FOR CHRISTMAS AND I USUALLY TAKE MY TIME READING IT.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 22.03.2006, 20:44
What do you actually mean by "boot sales?"
Yeah, everything was very small there - especially the houses! I'm used to large stuff :D
I didn't get that close to Mick's old house - a cab driver just pointed out the block as we passed it.
I hated the food in England - no taste whatsoever!! Even their Italian & Chinese food had no flavor :?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 23.03.2006, 16:06
BOOTSALES ARE LIKE OUR YARDSALES HERE, EXCEPT THEY ARE ASSEMBLED IN ONE PLACE LIKE A FLEA MARKET.
I USE TO GO TO THEM AT THE LOCAL SAFEWAY MARKET AND SCHOOL
GROUNDS ON THE WEEKENDS.
THEY CALL THE TRUNK OF A CAR A BOOT OVER THERE AND SOME PEOPLE PUT THIER STUFF IN THE BOOT... HENCH BOOTSALE.
I FOUND THE FOOD VERY GOOD OVER THERE! DID YOU EAT IN ANY OF THE PUBS THERE? EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE STEAMING, FRESH HOT.
GOING TO THE GROCERY EVERY WEEK, THEY HAD A WHOLE DEPARTMENT WITH ALL SORTS OF CHEESE AND MEATS. THE SAME WITH THE FRESH BREADS. I COULD GO CRAZY GOING DOWN THE SWEET, CAKE, PUDDING AND THE MANY DIFFERENT PASTERY ISLES.
THE FOOD IN THE MARKET SEEMED TO BE MUCH CHEAPER THEN HERE IN THE STATES.
JUST ONCE I WENT TO AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND THE OWNER WAS FROM ITALY, THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING. THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF ITALIAN COOKIES TOO. HE WAS TAKEN THAT I WAS FROM AMERICA
AND TALKED TO ME QUITE A BIT ABOUT HIS FONDNESS FOR OUR COUNTRY. I DID GO TO A REALLY GOOD CHINESE BUFFET IN LINCONSHIRE A FEW TIMES TOO.
HOW COME YOU DIDN'T ASK THE CAB DRIVER TO TAKE YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF MICK'S HOUSE? YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN SOME PICTURES.
OR TO BE MORE DESCRETE, ACROSS FROM HIS PLACE? YOU WERE SO CLOSE ?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 23.03.2006, 18:15
Thanks for explaining, Martha. Yes, I did eat at a pub & the food still wasn't good to me. I'm just used to things with lots of flavor & spice :-D
I didn't ask the cab driver to go close because we were on our way to somewhere else & we were late!! Maybe next time.....
What did you like most about England?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 24.03.2006, 16:08WELL THANKS FOR ASKING......
MY MOST FAVORITE THING ABOUT ENGLAND WAS SEEING MICK.
THAT INDEED WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY LIFE!!
OTHER THINGS THAT I ENJOYED WAS THE PUBS, HAVING BEERS BEFORE THE MEAL.
AS I SAID BEFORE, THEIR OPEN AND FLEA MARKETS AND OUTSTANDING CHARITY SHOPS.
THE SUMMER MONTHS WERE NICE AND THEY HAD EVERY SORT OF FLOWER YOU COULD IMAGINE. FLOWERS THAT I DON'T SEE HERE IN THE WEST AS THE LILLY OF THE VALLEY, LILACS AND SUCH.
THE COUNTRYSIDE WAS SOMETHING I REALLY APPRECIATED. THE VERY OLD GRAVEYARDS AND CHURCHES WERE PROBABLY MY MOST FAVORITE THINGS TO VIEW OVER THERE.
WHAT DID YOU FAVOR OVER THERE?

One should be able to read ;-)
I'm so sorry... The book is called originallly "Pay Dirt", "Virus im Netz" in German. As I was always very bad in writing summaries - no matter which language - I looked for one in the net. So please look at : http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/129149-ebook.htm
Hope you don't mind...
Again I started re-reading a book. This time "Round Ireland with a fridge" by Tony Hawks (again the German version. It's a funny book about a man travelling Ireland with a fridge and provides a good insight into Irish culture and livestyle - at least to my mind. Guess it's a MUST to read it :top

Just got a book for reading. It is called Stone Alone
It's written by Rolling Stone Veteran Bill Wyman.
So far it is worth the time.
What a life! Not like the media hype is about.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??

My perfect read is anything by Ian Rankin, he wrote all the Rebus books. I have read them all and have just started reading them all again, I love the way the character has evolved and aged with each book. The only problem with that of course is he is going to have to retire soon, I will miss him! I am also reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse it was on Richard and Judys book club. I am enjoying it but it is a bit weird.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 26.03.2006, 15:38
FOR KUHNSBRAT,
I'VE WRITTEN DOWN THE TITLE " STONED ALONE" AND WILL BE TRYING TO GET IT AT THE LIBRARY. IT SOUNDS SO INTERESTING.
AS FAR AS BEING DIFFERENT ,WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IS IT THAT HE'S MORE TRADITIONAL THEN A BEING WOULD IMAGINE?
SEEING A DOCUMENTARY ON HE AND THE OTHER ROLLING STONE MEMBERS. THEY SHOWED HIS CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE SMALL.
(THIS WAS QUITE AWHILE AGO) AND THEY LOOK SO TRADITIONAL.
BOYS HAD SHORT HAIR CUTS, GIRLS IN FRILLY DRESSES AND VERY CLEAN CUT.
ANYWAY, I WILL TRY AND GET THIS BOOK TODAY.
I'M READING A BOOK ABOUT THE AUTHORS, ARTIST AND ACTORS OF THE
1800'S AND DIFFERENT EARLY DECADES. IT'S INTERESTING BUT I'M ALMOST DONE WITH IT.
THANK YOU FOR REPLYING. FONDLY, MARTHA JEAN
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 26.03.2006, 15:51
FOR CHEEKO,
NOT KNOWING THESE BOOKS, I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN THE AUTHOR'S NAME AND TITLE AND AGAIN WILL TRY AND FIND THE BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY.
ARE RANKIN'S BOOKS SCIENCE FICTION, HUMAN INTEREST, MYSTERY
OR WHAT?
WHEN I LIVED IN ENGLAND, I WATCHED THE RICHARD AND JUDY SHOW.
I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT THEY HAVE A BOOK CLUB NOW. I THINK OPRAH STARTED THE WHOLE BOOK CLUB THING. DO THEY HAVE HER SHOW IN SCOTLAND?
ON ONE SHOW THEY HAD JUST COME BACK FROM HOLIDAY IN CALIFORNIA AND IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR THEIR COMMENTS ON AMERICANS. THEY CERTAINLY THOUGHT WE WERE WEIRD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY. FONDLY, MARTHA JEAN

I'M ALWAYS UP FOR ANYTHING I HAVEN'T READ.
YES, ONE SHOULD, DOES AND WILL BE ABLE TO READ. HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT BOOKS.

Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??

Hi Martha Jean, the Ian Rankin books are crime novels about a detective called John Rebus, he is a real character, there have been a few films made with John Hannah playing Rebus and most recently Ken Stott, do you know them? Ken Stott I think is most like Rebus. The books are mainly based in Edinburgh, I live very near Edinburgh so I can relate to the books. They even do Rebus tours taking fans of the books round the characters patch as most of the places the author uses are real, only a few of the scenes are fictional which is probably why I enjoy them so much, it makes John Rebus so believable. I hope you manage to pick up a copy of one of Ian Rankins books.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
kuhnsbrat - 26.03.2006, 16:49
It is more realistic in the sense of not having the media to exploit the situations. You learn the true hardships that only members can express. The times with Brian Jones and the events leading into the future with the Stones is another means the media could not support. They tend to make it all look really rose in color and in fact the colors are basic Black and White. The more of facts with the situations is given by these accounts from Bill.
I had not much information of Mick Jagger's solo career; with the facts of the Stones still being in the mainstream. I was not aware of Mick Taylor's involvement with the band. It is just like I said it(for me) I could not gain this information other than and believe more so without a Stone writing it.
My friend who lent the book to me found that I was into the recordings that I could not be too involved with for my age group. So that is why I think he gave me more for the knowledge and first hand accounts of the Rolling Stones. The recordings I started with are Aftermath and Let it Bleed. I have a love for their blues.. and now gaining insight toward their more solo and new or other group efforts. Not through that book though. I have not finished it and plan to with a holiday in the sun. I hear you tend to want to know more and gain the knowledge of his last part of his career; through reading this book.
Only time will tell for me.
Best to you~

NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE LIBRARY IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, I'VE BEEN READING MAGAZINES AND NOTHING TOO INTERESTING . I'VE JUST BEEN TOO BUSY. BUT HOPEFULLY TODAY I WILL GET OVER THERE AND TAKE MY LIST AND TRY AND FIND THESE BOOKS YOU HAVE SUGGESTED. IT MAKES ME CRAZY WHEN I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO READ.
I WILL COMMENT ON YOUR REPLYS JUST AS SOON AS I CAN. I STARTED MY BUSINESS OF SELLING VINTAGE ITEMS AGAIN AND IT'S PICKED UP SOME. IT MAKES ME HAPPY AND I REALLY NEED THE FUNDS.

GOOD MORNING CHEEKO,
GOING TO LIBRARY YESTERDAY I FOUND A FEW ON RANKIN'S BOOKS
BUT TO BE HONEST, I ONLY LIKE NONFICTION MYSTERY. BUT IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE SORT OF BOOKS HE WROTE AND STYLE AS I DID GO THROUGH THE BOOKS SOME.
WHEN I SAY REAL LIFE MURDER OR MYSTERY, I MEAN BOOKS ON SERIAL KILLERS AND SUCH. I STARTED READING THESE BOOKS AFTER READING " IN COLD BLOOD" BY TRUMAN CAPOTE YEARS BACK. I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN WHY BEINGS DO SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. FONDLY, MARTHA JEAN

That's great to hear, Martha. You deserve much success :-D
"The Face" is really good so far - it's about a psychotic not too popular actor hunting down a famous actor in Hollywood. I think you'd like it.

JUST PICKED UP " PAY DIRT" AND "SYMPTOMS OF WITHDRAWAL" BY CHRISTOPHER LAWFORD.

Still finishing mine...went to Florida and was unable to gain except through the airport and flights.
Did want to ask:
Someone quoted that they were reading on authors in the 20th century...might anyone be able to gain me some insight for the life, and works of Wilkie Collins?
I have not been able to get Queen of Hearts, but would love to learn more of this author.
Anyone?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 11.04.2006, 15:35
SYMTOMS OF WITHDRAWAL IS ANOTHER KENNEDY BIO BY CHRIS
LAWFORD. IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
I'VE ONLY JUST GOTTEN INTO IT, BUT IT IS WELL WRITTEN.
SORRY KUHN, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BOOKS YOU'VE MENTIONED.
MUCH LUCK IN FINDING THEM.

Just finished reading "Animals In Translation" by Temple Grandin. She is a woman with autism who earned her PhD and who designs humane animal environments and slaughterhouses. She beleives that she interprets the world, like animals may do, in pictures rather than words. Having human intellect and speech, she is able to relate how she believes animals think and feel about the world and hers is a fascinating book with some brilliant insights.
I think almost anyone would enjoy this book but animal lovers and/or anyone who is interested in autism will probably be wowed by it. After reading it, you may no longer think that your dog or cat (or bird or pig or lizard) acts "just like a human" and will more likely start to think that maybe we humans act just like animals instead.
Enjoy!

GOOD MORNING LONE STAR RED,
IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THE SITE AS I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK.
I SAW AN INTERVIEW WITH TEMPLE GRANDIN, AND WHAT A WONDEROUS WOMEN SHE IS!!
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE BOOK UNTIL YOU MENTIONED IT. I WILL WRITE IT DOWN AND WHEN I FINISH THE CHRIS KENNEDY BOOK I'M READING, THEN I'LL GO LOOKING AT THE LIBRARY FOR IT.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR RECOMMENDING THIS BOOK AND YOUR INPUT.

Well, I finally finished this book & it SUCKED!! It took forever to build up & then it totally lets you down at the end. What a waste :(
I do NOT recommend it. Dean Koontz's earlier books were much better. Now I've started reading John Saul's new paperback, "A Perfect Nightmare." Now THAT kicks some butt - his stuff is always good!

DEAREST ROSY,
WOULD LOVE TO READ THAT BOOK AS I LOVED MARVIN GAYE SOOO MUCH.
WHAT I HAVE READ AND VIEWED ON CHAT SHOWS IS THAT HE WAS VERY MUCH UNHAPPY AND HIS FATHER WAS EVIL.
IT WAS A HUGE WASTE.
KEEP ME UP ON THIS BOOK CAUSE I'M MEGA BUSY AT THIS TIME.
MY READING HAS GONE BY THE WAYSIDE. BUT STILL MUST CUT OUT SOMETIME FOR IT OR I'LL GO BONKERS.

Welcome back to the forum, Martha!! I liked Koontz's older books, but his new stuff is just so boring. The book by John Saul that I'm reading is AMAZING - it's fast-paced & nice & scary :P I highly recommend it.
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
The Rose Tattoo - 21.05.2006, 04:20
Howdy all... :D
Hmm.. trying to describe "Mercy, Mercy Me" in a few short words would be tough. Marvin Gaye was a tormented man -- yes, his father was evil - used religion to "hide" behind his sadistic behaviors toward his children (Marvin and his brother and sister were regularly, severely beaten by Marvin Sr.) He was an extremely talented man - very insightful. Unfortunately, he never sought help in dealing with the life he had being raised by a "mean" Pentecostal minister. Had he done so, he might have conquered, or at least dealt with his "demons" and would still be here today.... He, like so many, thought that counseling was a sign of weakness, etc. Hopefully his children won't follow in his footsteps, in that respect... how sad for them :-(
Now, I'm reading about Motown -- Berry Gordy, etc., etc. I'm at the point in the book where it's the early 1960's and things are starting to "get rolling." "Motown - Music, Money, Sex and Power." Interesting so far.

FOR MS. BLUE ANGEL,
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TITLE OF THIS PARTICULAR ZOLA STORY.
IT'S ABOUT THE MARRIED WOMEN WHO FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER HUSBAND FRIEND, THEY DECIDE TO KILL THE HUSBAND IN THE ROWBOAT AND ARE HUNTED BY HIS SOUL AND FINIALLY BREAK UP.
I LIKE THE BIO OF ZOLA TOO.

Yes, Martha!! Do you mean his book called "Different Seasons?" I have that as well as "Night Shift", another bunch of short stories from long ago. I, too, loved "The Green Mile." I actually liked the book better than the movie, but the movie was very well-done :top

SORRY ABOUT NOT REPLYING SOONER BUT I'VE BEEN ONE BUSY GIRL AND MY COMPUTER WENT BONKERS.
I HAD TO DELETE ALL OF MY MESSAGES TO CLEAR OUT MY EMAILS.
ONE OF THEM WAS THIS SITE AND I COULDN'T FIND IT UNTIL NOW.
I THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS OUTSTANDING BUT HIS BOOKS ARE MAGIC.
NOT READING FOR WEEKS, I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK, TRYING TO SORT AND CLEAN MY HOUSE AND A NEW PUPPY, WHICH IS WORSE THEN A TWO YEAR OLD CAUSE IT DOESN'T WEAR DIAPERS!!
NOW THAT I'M BACK, I'LL TRY AND CHECK IN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN WELL AND HAPPY. FONDLY, MARTHA JEAN

SHE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART AND SMART, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE NOTION OF GOING POTTY IN ONE PLACE. I TRY AND TAKE HER OUT EVERY HALF AND HOUR, BUT SHE JUST CRIES AND WON'T DO HER BUSINESS. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE HAD A PUPPY, BUT I JUST COULDN'T PASS HER UP. THE OPPUNITUNITY WAS THERE AND I TOOK IT.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PUPPY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING BY THE WAY? I THINK OF YOU EVERY MON. AND WED. WHEN I GO TO YOGA CLASS.

Hi, Martha! Sorry, I've been away, so just saw your message now. Your poodle sounds adorable!! What color is she? My puppy is named Rosy & she's a little Maltese with big black eyes & a perfect little olive nose. I'm doing okay - that's sweet that you think of me when you do yoga. How are things with you?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 10.07.2006, 18:33
GOOD MORNING GINA,
I JUST GOT BACK FROM YOGA AS A MATTER OF FACT. I JUST LOVE IT AND WISH IT COULD BE EVERYDAY.
I THINK I'LL CHECK INTO SOME YOGA CAMPS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN TO.
JEANIE IS BLACK, WITH CHOCOLATE EYES. SHE WEIGHT ABOUT THREE POUNDS AND IS THE SWEETEST DOG.
I'M STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HOUSE BREAKING, BUT AM HOPING SHE'LL CATCH ON SOON.
HERE IN ARIZONA, IT'S JUST TOO HOT TO WALK HER, BUT WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES, WE'LL GO ON SOME LONG WALKS.

Awww....she sounds adorable!! Don't worry about house breaking her - it takes a while. It took my Rosy almost 5 months to get it right. And my baby doesn't like to be walked - the concrete hurts her little tosies. Yes, you should definitely try to get to a yoga retreat. They're so wonderful & you feel totally at peace with yourself & the world afterwards.
You should google "yoga retreats in Arizona" & see if there are any by you :)
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??

GOOD MORNING TO YOU,
I WON'T GIVE UP ON JEANNIE , BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET HER TO UNDERSTAND TO GO IN ONE SPOT. ( I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M TALKING POTTY TRANING ON THE WEB.)
ANYWAY, I WILL CHECK OUT THE RESORTS AND SUCH JUST AS SOON AS I CAN.
I SEEM TO BE SO BUSY NOW AND FEEL HAPPY BUT A BIT OVERWELMED.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 11.07.2006, 20:52
I'm feeling okay, Martha - just a bit tired from tennis camp & a little sunburnt. Your doggie will learn where to go in time - just keep laying out the wee-wee pad for her & she'll eventually get it. Also, reward her for doing it in the right spot & give her a little punishment for doing it anywhere except on the pad. That's how my Rosy learned.....
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 13.07.2006, 19:16
GINA, WHAT SORT OF LITTLE PUNISHMENT?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 13.07.2006, 20:44
Well, for a punishment, I usually just didn't play with her for a good hour or so or I made her stay in her area so she couldn't run freely for a while. I also wouldn't give her a treat if she made on the floor. If she made on the wee-wee pad, then I gave her a treat. I don't believe in hitting animals.....
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 17.07.2006, 21:51
NOR I BELIEVE IN HITTING ANIMALS OR ANY TYPE OF BEING.
THANKS FOR THE INFO. JEANNE JUST DOESN'T GET THE CONNECTION OF THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE PADS.
SO I'VE BEEN TAKING HER OUT IN THE FRONT AND SO FAR SHE'S BEEN DOING GREAT. I PRAISE HER AND THEN GIVE HER A TREAT.
SHE'S SUCH A SWEET BABE!!
HOW ARE YOU?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
Gina From Da Block - 18.07.2006, 16:36
Aww....how cute - then your puppy is an outdoor pee-pee do-er - hahaha!
My Rosy hates going outside for ANYthing!! I'm doing very well - just extremely nervous because I'll be leaving for California Friday morning. I'm sooo nervous about meeting my favorite actor :roll: How are things with you? How's it going with your new man?
Re: BOOKS! WHAT ARE YOU READING AND FAVORITE AUTHORS??
MARTHA JEAN - 21.07.2006, 15:31
GINA, I REALLY TRIED WITH THE PUPPY PADS, BUT JEANNIE SEEMS NOT TO WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM OR NEWSPAPER.
SHE'S HAD LESS ACCIDENTS AND I'VE BEEN TAKING HER OUT EVERY HALF AND HOUR OR SO, BUT I'M STILL NOT SURE SHE'S CONNECTING
THE URGE TO GO OUT WITH OUTSIDE AND LETTING ME KNOW.
HOW EXCITING FOR YOU TO BE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!! HAVE YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE? IT'S SORT OF NUTTY.
MAKE SURE YOU SOAK IN ALL YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR
AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.
I FIND THAT CALIFORNIA IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE OF NEW YORK.
I STARTED A BOOK ON TAPE ABOUT WORRY AND ANXIETY. I COULD USE SOME WORK AND INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS EMOTION.
IT'S GOING PRETTY GOOD WITH THE MAN I'M DATING. HE STOPPED MAKING RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I WATCH.
HE'S REALLY INTO MUSIC AS I AM, AND WE HAVE A GOOD TIME LOOKING FOR IT IN THE CHARITY SHOPS.
I MET HIM IN THE MUSIC DEPT. OF ONE OF THESE STORES AND WE LISTEN AND DISCUSS MUSIC QUITE A BIT.
I FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD TWO SIMPLY RED CD'S WHEN I FIRST WENT OVER AND VIEWED HIS MASSIVE MUSIC COLLECTION OF REEL TO REELS, RECORDS, CASSETTES AND CD'S.
A FEW WEEKS AGO HE INVITED ME TO SEE CHRIS ISSACK AND IT WAS THE FIRST CONCERT I'D SEEN SINCE SEEING OUR MICK. IT WAS VERY GOOD, BUT I WOULD VERY MUCH LOVE TO SEE OUR SWEET BABE AGAIN.
ARE YOU STILL DATING THAT CERTAIN MAN YOU MENTIONED BEFORE?
HAVE A SAFE AND DELIGHTFUL TIME IN CALIFORIA. FONDLY, MARTHA JEAN
