another thoughtful article about Jobs. My link

Two interesting opinions on Jobs My link As with Layton after his death, Jobs is being lionized. When someone has this much aldulation heaped on her/him, alarm bells go off.

My link other Luddites and I would go back even further. I have spent some time exploring these other on line booksellers. this will help tremendously.

Viggen A wonderful quote

thanks for the ideas. I have kindle for pcs but I really really prefer an actual book.

Question, I still use Indigo/Chapters on line for books, but what other online reputable online bookstores besides Amazon would you recomment. Where I am, the second hand book stores do not have a good a selection of history books.

.

Speaking of Bibilical questions. Has anyone read 'The Book of J'?

In the article it did mention the warehouse is located in an economically depressed area so the workers have 4 options, quit and try to find another job in the area, quit and move , quit and starve or endure. on top of my list of things to do.... stop reading anything..... except I am addicted to reading. I have no answer... I think that is why I like ancient times..

My link this just appals me.

Yikes, thre season 9 not yet on Netflix and then season 10 which in theory ends the whole thing.

Since getting Netflix, I have been hooked on MI5. I sure hope it ends soon.

lol, if the whole movie is like this................lol

Cinzia8, looking forward to your book:)

A lovely list of books. From which I have added a few to my wish list. One of joys of age, I can be 'discrimnating' about my choices. I can narrow my choices to things that really really interest me and then throw in the odd book that is totally outside my tunnel vision. And sometimes a wonderful thing happens, I have found a new author or subject I like.. Colleen McCullough is one author I never was able to read. I tried and tried but no...

Bryaxis, they even did something like in Calgary for 1988 Winter Olympics, unfortunately I can remember the context. One day I will google it. Googled. There was a substantial social impact as well. From the unprecedented volunteer involvement in staging the Games, a program was put in place where ordinary Calgarians could purchase, for $19.88 in the summer of 1986, a brick at the main medal presentation plaza called the Olympic Plaza Olympic Plaza (Calgary)The Olympic Plaza is an urban park and gathering place in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Located around Macleod Trail and 7th Avenue S., it was created as the venue for the medal ceremonies at the 1988 Winter Olympic Games... with their names laser-engraved on it. The involvement of ordinary Calgarians was evident. This was of paramount importance to the organizing committee, OCO'88, as it kept the Games from appearing distant and "out of reach". Over 10,000 volunteers helped make the these games possible.

Thanks Melvadius.. needed this laugh out session. the comments were hilarious!! lol

another book added to my wish list:)

and while clicking on links etc, I just added another book about Hypatia and this book by Faith Justice - Selene of Alexandria

added Hagith Sivan's book to my wish list... but the paperback.... the hardcover is just a wee bit above my price range - 95.96 CAD

Caldrail, that is just an old old husband's tale, to be used as excuse by them when they want to get out of going out with boys........

I just added it to my wish list.

Viggen, Marcus Aurelius is one of my favourite people too. "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." This is a wonderful quote. Thank you.

Sara Jane and the Doctor with the teeth, the hair and the scarf (Tom Baker, but that is how I always thought of him) were the first shows I saw. They are always my favourties. This is another sadness.
