good for imagination. Sunny, your crack had me seriously To hear it put that way. And at least it's good for you, and something that you can live with consequences. And you don't hurt yourself, or make yourself sick. Coloring's my crack. __________________

I was trying
to come up with a metaphor for how I'm addicted to books and can't seem to maintain much of a discipline around them, even when I know better and should do better. Hence the crack comparison. I agree, books aren't harmful. At the same time, it's not ideal that I'm allowing myself to miss sleep on account of not being able to put my book down. So there is room for improvement there, I think. __________________

Hi back Karen.
Sunny, it was perfect, and hysterical to read it. Yeah, that may take time and discipline, but I think you can really do it. Improve that is. Spending the day relaxing and getting cleaned up and my nails done for the Dr.'s appt. that's tomorrow. __________________

Hey there, Kar.
Kimmie, I hope your appointment went well. Did it? And I'm definitely working on discipline with the books. It's probably gonna get easier because I'm running out of books by that author I love so much. Which doesn't mean I don't enjoy the other books. But they are easier to put down when I need to do that, you see. __________________

Appointment went absolutely
all good news! I also now, since I can't walk more than about two hundred feet, now have a handicap parking space sign. Because I'm in pain. I definitely see how it would be easier to put the book down if it wasn't your fave author providing it. I can never put down Stephen King's The Stand. Hope you got to bed early Karen, and rested. __________________

Pneumonia seems to
be the theme at this point, since that's what has kept my dad in hospital for a week and a half. I had him on the phone last night and it seems to be hard on him, not being in charge. Which isn't funny in and of itself. But it's interesting. So glad to hear your appointment went well, Kimmie. I'm watching a French documentary on WWI and the experience of the French, both at the front and, like, an hour away from it, where they were "living their normal lives" at the exact same time. __________________

Yeah, I think
World War One doesn't get as much attention as World War Two. And the first one was probably even more traumatizing for the French since all of the Western front was in France. So even those who weren't soldiers were directly affected. They had to evacuate, they starved, entire families were lost in the fighting and the death toll was just really dramatic. Plus, the home front was also dramatic since a lot of women died in the weapons manufacturing industry. The documentary was really interesting and I learned lots. __________________

I've really thought
of looking into and reading about World War One. Because I know absolutely nothing really about it, seriously. I have a DVD set, about WWII and Vietnam, but not WWI. Thanks for that info on it. Glad you enjoyed it Sunny, and you learned alot. Sorry about that, Karen. It's hard. Ran errands this AM, and I actually have no appointments this week. __________________

But now you
get the vacation, right, Kar? So it's worth it. Kar, I think World War One may have had less of an impact on the U.S. psyche than the second one, you know? It's certainly harder to label, because the stakes were a little more hazy. The Germans were still the enemy, but they weren't quite the Nazis just yet. I know that, for Canada, it's an important war because that's the one when we stopped being "just" a colony and became an independent country in our own right. Beyond that, there are other interesting aspects to it, like the role of women, the development of war technologies, and so forth. But it's not as clearly "a fight against evil" like WWII is supposed to have been, you see. __________________

Oh wow, that's
a lot of great insight Sunny. Thanks for letting me know the differences, and how cool it is that you became an independent country. Well, not that war created it, but you know what I mean. I hope anyway. Got some new pens at the office store in town, so I've been writing today. All day, except when we were out this morning. __________________
