*Help!*

Your books are keeping me sane.  

[Chimera]

Okay. My ego is mollified.

If you're wanting/needing to by a car let me know.  I'll give you a discount on my Mini-van.  Send me a PM or e-mail if intrested.

Here's a little fun with a lack of furniture.

I have my computer moniter on the seat of a chair that I bought from a garage sale. The tower is next to the chair and the keyboard and mouse both have obnoxiously short cords. I've been sitting on the floor while typing with the keyboard on my lap, but after a while it gets rather uncomfortable.

So I decide to try something different.

I grab another chair and put it facing the monitor. I sit in it. It's a little high, but I can still read the bottom, so it's ok. I put the keyboard on my lap. It barely reaches. So far so good. The mouse? I'll just use my foot.

Yeah right. That lasted about two seconds.

That would also be bad for your neck. Very bad. The monitor needs to be raised to eye level.

I had that problem when trying to run two computers in my room. I ended up clearing the other table of its crap (models mainly) and sticking the mac mini there.

I used a moving box till I got my dining room table. The laptop runs too hot for it to always be on my lap.

And I thought I was being dexterous operating a sewing machine with my knee.  You win.

[fuzzyoctopus]

You mean I'm not the only one who sewed that way??

[Oldie Black Witch]

Chimera,

Help! I've read all the books you loaned me and I need more!

[MsFish]

YAY!  There are more weird floor sewers out there!!

[Chimera]

Chimera,

Help! I've read all the books you loaned me and I need more!

I'll be happy to. When do you want to do an exchange? I can come by sometime and bring more and take back the finished. I'll definitely bring you Enna Burning, the sequel to Goose Girl. I can bring you my "Arabian Nights"-flavored fantasy books (they were in my bedroom, so you didn't see them). Do you remember any others you saw that you liked? Have you read Enchantment by Scott Card? Or Spindle's End by Robin McKinley? I'm assuming you've read her Blue Sword and Hero and the Crown (if not, you must).

Do any of these appeal to you?

Depends, do you mean "sewers" as in "people who sew" or "the place where water and sewage goes"?

Yes. They all do. I haven't read any Robin McKinley even though I've heard many good things about her books. I haven't read Enchantment either, and I'll take Enna Burning too. And if you've found the second Artemis Fowl I'd like to read that.  Can you come by tomorrow (Monday) afternoon? Around 4ish? PM me and let me know.

[stacer]

Yes, if you haven't read any Robin McKinley you must, absolutely must. Read Beauty, too, when you get a chance. Rose Daughter is McKinley's retelling of herself with the same story, but I still prefer Beauty--it's simpler and more straightforward. Sometimes McKinley can get a little too flowery (she tends more that direction in Spindle's End) which works sometimes, like in Spindle's End, but didn't work for me as much in Rose Daughter.
