I nearly missed all this fun over me. I believe he thought I was a young man and was calling me a mama's boy in his foreign way of speaking. Thanks for sticking up for me, Sue.
"was calling me a mama's boy in his foreign way of speaking"
that is true.
eventho you are a grandmother, it can still be said that u are, or at least used to be a mama's boy, not?
"Thanks for sticking up for me, Sue."
Was that really needed? Did you consider my post offensive, or unrespectfull?

You said it was your mother's fault because she was a teacher. So I must assume that you did NOT like your mother very much. Maybe the disrespect was enhanced by the face you chose that has its tongue sticking out.

Lukerik, i took a book from the bookcrossings and im not planning to drop it somewhere when i finished it (i will prolly read it before i make it into an invisible booksheld).
And i feel slightly guilty about it, is there somewhere on the site a place where i can report the book as gone, so no-one will look for it?

You can either sign up so the find is recorded against you personally or you can report that you've found the book as an Anonymous Finder.
Either way, there should be a sequence of numbers written inside the book like 123-1234567. This is the unique reference number that identifies your book. Enter this into the field.
You can make a journal entry saying where you found the book and what you're going to do with it. You can say whatever you like but please say something nice. I may appreciate your humour but whoever has given you the book will like to know it's gone to a good home. You can also change the status of the book from 'Travelling' to 'Permanent Collection' or whatever.

I just discovered that Charity shops throw unsaleable books in the bin. I've come to an agreement today with one to let me have those books.
Has anyone here heard of the Green Festival? It's a Not For Profit thing held over a weekend in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Everything about it is ecologically sound, from the electricity generated by a man on a bike to the solar powered cinema. A great day out.
Anyway, I know the organisers and they've agreed to let me have a Free Book Giveaway area.
I'm going to use the opportunity to give away some of my own collection as well as the stuff I can get from the Charity shop bin. Is anyone interested in helping?
I'm going to register the stuff I donate on the BookCrossing website so I can see where they go, but the main point here is to give free books to people.
If anyone is interested in getting involved, either by physically helping (if you're local) or by donating please please PM me. I think we can do some good here.

It could be when your mom inspired you to it! That could be a clue that you are a mommy's person.
"You said it was your mother's fault because she was a teacher. So I must assume that you did NOT like your mother very much."
like or not liking my mother has nothing to do with it imo. The fact that she is a teacher only brought my poor spelling and grammar more to the surface.
"Maybe the disrespect was enhanced by the face you chose that has its tongue sticking out."
U really think so? That smilie is a silly smilie, it indicates a silly joke, or teasing.
its notihng like this:

I didnt really have any grounded reason to call you a mommy's person. Only something that could indicate it.
Therefor it would be stupid for me to call you a mommy's person and really mean it. I dont know you, you know i dont know you.
Add the smilie and it was obviously not disrespectfull.
I think Suzianne made a point of nothing.

Damn traveling books, gone before you know it😛

Originally posted by Lukerikwhat? why? isnt that the idea of these books? let more ppl read them?
It's head in hand time here ZoZo, it really is. If you hadn't beaten me at chess I'd be back to calling you ZooZoo.
I will make it into a bookshelf when my friend finished it🙂
I entered the bookcode on the site, at first i was thinking id could enter some nice tekst about why the book isnt going to travel again.
Heres something i had in mind:
Due to repeatedly forced sexual intercourse the book commited suicide.
----------
But then i remembered how u said the person who owned the book might want to know it ended up in good hands. So i figured it was best to just select "permanent collection" and not enter any tekst.
Then the site started moaning at me that i hád to enter some tekst, and my eye fell on the little tekst above the tekstbox:
"Write as much or as little as you like... we suggest you describe how you caught the book and what you plan to do with it."
And i could not resist, here is what i entered:
""we suggest you describe how you caught the book"
Well, this was quiete a strugle. When i lay my eyes on the book it noticed me noticing it. The clever little basterd then decided to go for a run, it probably felt that it was going to be better of in the wild then in my hands. So i ended up chasing it all true the Lux. Finaly, it jumped behind the bar and after a last fight i managed to take controle over it. I drank a beer and left.
"and what you plan to do with it."
Since the book gave me such a strugle to get my hands on it, and my evil mind in general, i came up with serveral ideas of what to do with the book.
- Burn it alive
- Torture it by ripping some pages out
- Cage it in a moist environment
- Or maybe ill just read it😉"
