I'll revisit that after the coffee kicks in.<br /><br />Ugh, I remember when I was shipping stuff all the time and they kept raising rates. What a pain in the pocketbook. :hugs:<br /><br />Which is why I didn't post his name. And now I don't remember it. <br /><br />Yay for having gotten all your gifts!

Today should be better. And maybe I'll get some editing done. Or something.<br /><br />And I need more coffee...B.E.

I'd have to double my prices to give free shipping. :-(<br /><br />That numbnuts deserves to be ignored. Totally. After reading that, I wouldn't consider buying his book.<br /><br />I've gotten gifts for everyone except Dad, who is bedridden and doesn't want anything. I'll probably get him candy. He still enjoys that.<br /><br />Christmas cards? Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not even ready to thing about them.Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513482264195697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-73524936633972414022018-11-29T09:42:37.478-06:002018-11-29T09:42:37.478-06:00Keeping track of days is one reason I have specifi...Keeping track of days is one reason I have specific "topics" on my blog and FB. That's not to say I don't forget...<br /><br />The Christmas tree is up. Of course, I didn't take it down from last year... <i>*looks shifty-eyed*</i> I suppose I should get the outside lights up. Supposed to get cold after tomorrow. I'll think about it.<br /><br />I made some progress on the stupid rewrite. Then I hit a block and sat staring at the screen for an hour. Seriously. <i>*shakes fist at writing gods*</i> I'm proscrastinating getting back to it this morning.<br /><br />I won't mention Christmas cards if you don't.<br /><br />Hadn't heard about the Tolkien dustup. Stupid is as stupid does and yeah, I think the guy is doing it for his 15 seconds of "Dude! You're stupid!" I caught a rant today about a novel that had the audicity to claim that the War of Northern Aggression was a matter of states' rights, and the over-reaching arm of the federal government, but strictly about slavery, because you know, all those soldiers who fought for the Confederacy were rich plantation owners who owned slaves. All those "historians" forget that the Immanciation Proclamation only freed slaves in states BELOW the Mason-Dixon line, allowing slavery in those "federal" states north of the line. Hmmmmm. Okay. Rant over. And yes, I am a Civil War scholar.<br /><br />Let's see. I should end on a happy or funny note... *thinkthinkthinks* Ah... Here. This made me laught this morning. https://cheezburger.com/9240516352 Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
