Linda, how cute is that? Can you imagine a 4-year old knowing the word "technology"? Wow--send that child to Harvard!! P.S. Do you have a new grandbaby yet? I've been off and on here--DH health problems and then computer crashed and sent me off to Best Buy for a new one!

When I was little, I remember getting a big book of stories that I just loved. And I hated reading. What I loved about it was, it was a big book, probably 8" x 12" and an inch thick and filled with about 100 short stories. I didn't have to read it cover to cover. I could pick and choose which stories I wanted to read. I ended up reading the whole book many times. But to read a book with one story cover to cover took me until grade nine. "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton. I read it a dozen times over the years and watched the movie several times. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I read another book and then became a bookworm with V. C. Andrews "Flowers In The Attic". Since the internet though, I've only read one book cover to cover. In TEN years! I'm working on book #2 right now. "The Iceman: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer" by Philip Carlo. It's a true story. Right now he's 26 and has killed about 65 people. Only 2 were for the mafia so far. The guy had some serious mental problems. But with a father like he had, it's no wonder. You have to read it. It's good. LOL I didn't watch the video posted. But I can well imagine what his reaction was. I was disappointed in my storybook too. But I did eventually read it all.

caroline, Thanks for the chuckle I enjoyed them! Red

Oh no Kitchenredo2! You've been through the ringer lately haven't you?! At least she found it before it got any worse! What did they do about the soapstone, were they able to figure out a solution to the problem? Kat :)
