What's the title of the book?

17 years ago

Somebody mentioned the title of a book in a couple of different threads. It has to do with detaching with love or something along those lines. Does anyone remember what I am talking about and what the title is? I could really use the read before I drive myself nuts obsessing. tx

Hmm, I'm not sure about a detaching book...
The book I yip about all the time is Motherless Daughters, but it's about the effects of motherloss.
I really can't think of another book that has come up more than once. Sorry.

Ceph-

Thanks, but that's not the book, although I did read it years ago and it was very useful. The book I am thinking about has to do with letting go of anger. I am almost beginning to feel like Thurman because I am getting irritated w/oldest SD and I don't want to feel like that toward her. If I should be irritated w/anyone, it should be DH for not addressing some things and I am, but he doesn't want confrontation and truly she is old enough to not need to be told how to behave.

This is so very gross, a health hazard and it's my biggest complaint. SD (24) hasn't cleaned out her ferrets' cage in at least four weeks . The stench of ammonia from the urine is unbelievable (not to mention there's also the feces). I have been trying to get over an upper respiratory bacterial infection and cough for several weeks. For some reason, whenever I am home and exposed to the stench, I seem to start coughing a lot more - hmmmm. I went to the doctor Thursday and we discussed the ammonia exposure. I came home asked DH to ask her to PLEASE clean the cage. He said he'd speak w/her Monday because he happened to speak w/her earlier that day about her reaction to our wedding and she was upset and cried. Of course, it also inhumane and she literally sleeps in the cesspool, so she may be the next one with a cough. We have a towel blocking the crack of her door, but the odor is so strong that it still creeps into the rest of the house.

There is also the issue of her putting spoonfuls of peanutbutter into her dog's toy as a treat and letting him have his treat on our 3 month old carpet. I don't how many times she has been asked not to do that by DH, but she just does as she pleases because there is never any follow through on his part. She obviously has no respect for us and our property. Again, more his fault, but at 24 I think she shouldn't need to be told more than once.

Thanks for letting me vent and please don't let me turn into a Thurman. geri

Most important to me is that an author provide realistic and complete information about the real drawbacks of the plants. Glowing, idealized descriptions are available for free in catalogs, where all the plants are spectacular, completely adaptable to various difficult situations, and trouble-free. It irks me no end to purchase a book that does not include information like susceptibility to pests and disease, reaction to less than ideal conditions, tendency to sprawl or spread ... you know what I mean. Nobody is perfect, and that goes for plants as well as people. A good gardening book delves into the flaws, not just the merits, of each perennial it covers. Also, the photos should NOT be close-ups of the flowers, they should show what the plants actually look like. This kind of picture probably does not sell books, at least not as well as lovely, artistic flower photos do, but that's what gardeners are interested in. Thanks for asking, and good luck with the book.

META tags will probably not do the job. Google and the like ignore them (and for good reason, I could type whatever I wanted in there whether my page was about it or not), instead their bots scan the actual content of the page. This puts flash sites at a disadvantage because the content cannot be read. In my opinion, flash is a useful tool in creating multimedia applications and presentations but it should NEVER have been used for web pages. It not only keeps the page from being indexed correctly in search engines, but keeps the pages from being able to be viewed by users with disabilities (those using aural, braille, or text based browsers). If you are just learning web design, I recommend getting a book on XHTML (eXtensible HTML) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The w3c (Wolrd Wide Web Consortium) has listed these as the standards for web content and design respectively. By using CSS to describe ALL of your design parameters you allow greater access to the content of you site.

Only one heaven, so if you use it, the word should be Heaven's. Singular possessive. Be sure the title is not already taken. And the Band Played On is another book. If they are all singers, that title might work, but I assume you are also going to focus on some who may have been instrumentalists and not singers.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure if it is or not. I'm not even sure if the man who wrote the book was an ornithologist. If Wikipedia listed all of his literary works, none of them sounded familiar. Even though I can't think of the title of the book, I think I'd recognize the name if I'd see/hear it. It partly sounds like it could be him though. I'll have to look into it some more. Thanks again.

I remember seeing a title mentioned --"The Dance of Anger"-- probably in this context. I haven't read it, but I think this may be the book you're thinking of.
