Well, it doesn't make sense to me that it would be allowed.

Is it that way in other countries over seas as well?

Or are their economies different?

Cause I think it kind of seriously sucks.

[sunnykerr]

All countries handle their economies differently, so I would imagine there are a lot of differences around the world.

For instance, some governments have a stronger involvement in their country's economy.

In North America, we're big on letting the markets do their thing more or less independently.

At the same time, hedge funds can't possibly be a North America-only concept.

I can't imagine they would prosper if they were limited to the North American markets.

But I don't know enough about this to answer your question. Sorry!

[There You'll Be]

I swear it seems we do things ass backward.

It's like insanity.

Thank you for the info you did give me.

And don't apologize, you cause me to be aware of something I had no clue about.

[sunnykerr]

I tried to find out more about hedge funds, but the Wikipedia page was full of financial vocabulary and I came away more confused than anything else.

However, I did glean that there are hedge funds outside North America, primarily in the UK and in Japan.

But that's about it.

[There You'll Be]

Yeah, that would be way too deep for me.

I have enough trouble through thinking through life.

Oh that's cool to know.

Thanks for checking on that, and finding out.

[sunnykerr]

How is the coloring going?

See what I did there?

I think we've exhausted both of our interest in hedge funds, huh?

Time for a new topic.

[There You'll Be]

Impressive Sunny!

Coloring is going good.

I was doing some winter scenes, and then I did the fall one of Pooh in your book-2 different versions, so I could see the difference.

And, Mom got me a Meditation coloring book at the book store. I've done a few in there.

[sunnykerr]

I saw some adult colouring books at the bookstore yesterday and thought of you.

Mind you, they didn't look as challenging as the ones I've seen on TV.

I feel sort goofy that I didn't realize those were the kind of colouring books you're interested in when I made you the one I sent you.

Ooops!

But, hey, mine is still fun, in its own way, right?

[There You'll Be]

Oh Sunny, yours is amazing, one because you made it for me.

Second, it doesn't stress me out like the others do.

When I want to color, but want comfort, yours has my favorite characters in it.

You know how I love them.

Your coloring book really is the best of both worlds for me, and I use it regularly.

[sunnykerr]

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

I don't feel as ridiculous now.

I'm glad you like it and that it's useful to you.

That craft store we went to today? I had more adult colouring books.

So, naturally, I thought of you right away.

[There You'll Be]

It's funny what makes us think about the other.

Every time I see a book store I think of you. Just cause you love books so much.

Your book means more to me that any adult coloring book, and to me, a coloring book like that-you could NEVER buy anywhere.

[sunnykerr]

Do you have a lot of bookstores where you are?

Here, they seem to have disappeared.

Well, from the downtown area where I am normally.

There are two big chains of French bookstores that have one store each I can come across sometime, but that's it.

And, because they're French, they don't have much stuff I'm interested in unfortunately.

At least, I don't think to go in there and browse very often.

Like, if it hadn't been for my mother's book request, I don't think I would have been in there.

[sunnykerr]

I made a quasi-Waldorf salad for my lunches this week and it's delicious.

Cookbooks are awesome.

[sunnykerr]

This week, I'm supposed to make a shrimp-quinoa salad for lunches.

[There You'll Be]

We just have one bookstore in town, but when we're in Hendersonville they have a few.

The library is mostly what reminds me of you. Being around lots and lots of books.

Bookstores are disappearing. It's a shame. I used to live at them in Va. Beach.

Yeah, it wouldn't make sense for you to go to those places if they don't have many books you'd want to read.

SO happy your cookbooks are useful and that you enjoy them so much!!!

Ooh, tell me what's in that? I've never heard of it, so I'm curious as to what it is.

The shrimp one.
