Whachu Talkin About Glenda?!? A Little More from This Morning...

Welllll, it's coming up close to the end of the day...When   I published this morning, I had every intention of going on to write a review, but I was still agitated and was afraid I would not do the review justice with my mind roaming... I immediately decided I needed to get out of the house, so I called my sister and we were out most of the day, having lunch and getting groceries... But I realized that I kinda threw the pitch this morning to some of you who may not have known what I was talking about.... It's been over 10 years since I retired. Several years before that, I got to a point, due to quantity of work plus poor communication between myself and a new supervisor, that I broke, with an inability to stop crying. While I was still working, I knew that my mind was suffering when, in a meeting, I blacked out for a second or so and forgot what I was saying.  One of the people there told me that it wasn't too noticeable, but I knew it had to have been

"They Can't Do That To People" - A Flashback to Loss of Control...to Bureaucracy... This Timen PA Turnpike!

I had one of my "nightmares" last night... Caused by the PA Turnpike... Here's the flashback scene I went over and over... When I realized that I needed help that morning--I couldn't stop crying--I first called a close friend from my church and when she didn't answer, I called the Pastor... He and his wife came immediately and when they got to my living room, I dropped to my couch and cry, "pray for me..." Which they did... But, I could not stop crying...and saying over and over..."They Can't Do that to People." "It isn't right!" I cried and talked but it seemed that I was watching the entire episode from somewhere else...I knew some part of my mind was realizing that I was going to get the help I needed... They did two things: they had no hesitation to tell me to seek medical help immediately...And, later, they gave me a tape of quiet worship songs on a disk... I was unable to interact coherently with people...

EBook Prices...Ebook Versus Paperback Cost...My Personal Thoughts

As Shared from https://www.facebook.com/Dawn.Carter.Author?fref=photo I don't know about you, but I am waaaaay bothered by the range of costs for e-books! First, too many are being given away in my opinion...I've seen comments that they are being given away because they are self-published and they're selected purposely for giveaways... In my opinion, an author should only give their product away on special sales... and they should make a point of including the real cost for the book...i.e., what is being saved...during the sale. I just went to a book that I'd like to read...it was $8.99! Hey, (1) I can buy paperbacks at that price...and (2) I would prefer reading a paperback any time! and (3) That's about the same price that top authors are selling for... Hey, if I was not willing to pay $8.99 for a book that I can't hold in my hands written by Norah Roberts, James Patterson, and all the rest of my favs...I sure wouldn't purchase a book by an u
