SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Nice list!! I didn't even think of doing something like that, but it all depends on what I have available to read at the time the shelf is called.

Wouldn't it be awesome? My DH has been twice (turkey!) and he would love to go again, but dud..."

Your DH is lucky!! Ugh, I hate that traveling is so expensive! I really want to go to Scotland, and England too but it's so much money! I can't even really travel in the US because of costs. Oh well, hopefully after I graduate and get a real job, I can travel. :D *crosses fingers*

When can we start the free space read? Not sure if I am having blonde moments, or senior moments or brain farts.....but we have to wait correct???

Laura wrote: "im from Estonia, but i live in Turkey :) enjoying the mediterranean weather :P"


Ah, I hear Turkey is fantastic! OK guys, on our way to see Sandra, we need to stop off in Turkey to hang with Laura. Oh, or you could meet us there Sandra! (I bet it's nice and warm in Turkey.) Will you take me to Pamukkale if I come and visit? Mother Nature is beauitiful all the time, but those pools are like her jewelry. So gorgeous!

@ Zaanodes: I hear you! I want to travel to Europe so badly I can taste it! The spouse just wants to go to tropical climates. He grew up there! How much beach does one man need I ask you? Hhmmmph *pouts*

Uhhmmmm, and your organization is freakin' me out a bit. You are like organizational 'magic'. Like personal assistant to POTUS organized. I bow to your might!

OK, update...

Sarah= California
Dana= Washington
Zaanodes= Florida
Zina= Alberta
Laura= Turkey
Sandra= Australia

Team #4....we are everywhere you want to be! Forget American Express! :)

Free space read can be started anytime on/after 24 July.

I'm happy for Dana to be el Capitano but I'll have to do the updates at the beginning of the thread cause no one else can edit the spot. But I'll just copy & paste Dana's updates so that should be cool :)

Just checked my handy dandy time zone thingo & I'm 17 hours ahead of LA ie 6pm Thurs there & 11am Fri here, (LA is on daylight savings) and it is 4am Fri in Ankara, so that is 7 hrs ahead of Laura. Miami is 9pm Thurs, also ds time, so 14 hrs difference. Zina are you on pacific or central time zones, I remember you said rocky mtn time but are you on Sarah time or half way to Zaanodes time?

Right now it is 7:30 pm. I am 2 hours behind Florida and 1hour ahead of California time

Ah, OK, that's like Steph & Judithe are 1 hr behind me. Makes it easy to chat when you know who could be around. I've changed me to Sydney cause just like US we've got 3 time zones.

So using Dana as ground zero *salute el capitan*

Sarah= California - Ground zero
Dana= Washington - Ground zero
Zaanodes= Florida - + 3 hrs
Zina= Alberta - + 1 hr
Laura= Turkey - + 10 hrs
Sandra= Sydney, Australia - + 17 hrs

Now we just gotta work on a team name, anyone have any more ideas?

Some ramblings and jumping off points

- Fantastic 4 - Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing
- 4 Seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter
- 4 Directions - North, South, East & West
- 4 Noble Truths in Buddhism
- The Chinese etc are superstitious about the number four because it is a homonym for "Death"
- Tetraphobia is an aversion to or fear of the number 4
- The four elements of alchemy are earth, water, air and fire
- Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect, they divide the earth into four proportions.
- The "4" key may also be used to type the dollar sign ($) if the shift key is held down.
- The phrase "four-letter word" is used to describe most swear words in the English language, as most swear words do indeed possess four letters
- In Astrology, Cancer is the 4th astrological sign of the Zodiac.
- In Tarot, The Emperor is the fourth trump or Major Arcana card.
- The Beatles were also known as the "Fab Four"
- Four horsemen of the Apocalypse: war, famine, pestilence, death.
- Four suits of playing cards: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.

The 4 elements and 4 horsemen are cool. I was trying to think of something cool w/your names b/c you guys have both of our Z players. But, got nuthin'.

LOL

SSiZZLD

That's cool. ;) *tssss HOT*

*steam heat* Baby!

Eeam #4....we are everywhere you want to be! Forget American Express! :)"

LOL

As for organizational comments...

I do purely in self-defense...and for the team! I don't have internet at home. My DTB's are being boxed ready to move. So, this is the easiest and quickest way for me to start reading as soon as the shelf is announced. I get frustrated doing web stuff on my Kindle to the point I want to throw the (insert multiple 4-letter-words here).

My last DTB that I need to order: I emailed my dealer yesterday. He has not responded as yet.

SiZZling Sirens

or SiZZLing SirEns

SiZZLing SirEns

LOL I didn't even catch that!!

See the nuances I don't catch doing this at work??

I missed it on the SSiZZLD, too!!

SirEns just looks wrong though with Erato in the middle.

Eros' SiZZLing Sirens?

Erato and her SiZZLing Sirens

Envy the SiZZLing Sirens

Enticing SiZZLing Sirens

SiZZLing Sirens Evermore

De Lovely SiZZling Sirens

My tribute to Cole Porter...Gotta love him!

LOL Zaanodes!

On SSiZZLD I used the D for Dana but we could do SSiZZLE instead ;)

Erato wrote: "@ Zaanodes: I hear you! I want to travel to Europe so badly"

Europe, Asia, South America, Africa...
Snow (to visit), mountains, desert, island...
Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere...
East, West...

Maybe even the Arctic and the Antarctic...

(I already said Australia...Did I miss any place...
SPACE!!!)

Zaanodes, I have a very good friend (think bridesmaid) who has been to all the places you listed except the Arctic & Space.

There is always the next trip to be planned. She has a good job, which she hates, and is single. That's how she does it.

I like SSiZZLE!

You guys are hysterical! And who cares where I am? Spell away! :)

Although I do like having the sirens part in there myself if we end up going with this theme. The sirens-style avatars could be fun...I'm not sure I want my avatar to be bacon. ;D

Second thought....bacon rocks! Spell like mad. :)

Yeah! 2 of my DTB's are here!!

:( Dealer has NOT contacted me!!

I was thinking sizzlin hawt, not thinkin of bacon. LOL

But yes I like the idea of sirens too.

So how about SSiZZLEing Sirens ?

OR

SiZZLEing Sirens

And she even has stilettos on!

Like your photo Zaanodes...

BTW what does DTB stand for?

I changed my photo also...

I like Sirens that SiZZLE....instead of SiZZLEing Sirens....

Re: Zina's profile pic: Oooohhhh, I like!

DTB = Dead Tree Book (printed hard/paperback)

Sirens SiZZLE...hmmm, I like that, too!

Dang, I just realized...I like all of the suggestions. Please don't make me vote...

I can't decide either. Maybe should put in a hat and draw a name. I think Sirens is a good creature to go with.

Sizzling sirens is a burlesque troop in California Not sure if I could do a pole dance But sure would have fun trying

Sandra wrote: "Zaanodes, I have a very good friend (think bridesmaid) who has been to all the places you listed except the Arctic & Space..."

I bet she has some interesting stories and pictures to share!

FYI: Woot! Last DTB ordered! Usually he has orders in less than a week. Cutting it close if that shelf is called first, but I should be ok.

Zina wrote: "Not sure if I could do a pole dance But sure would have fun trying..."

I hear it is GREAT exercise and they actually have pole-dancing exercise classes.

i like SiZZLEing Sirens....

I like something involving Sirens as well. Umm what about SiZZLing SirEns in Stilettos? I'm stuck on stilettos haha

.... hmm...

IDK hhaha I'm fine with anything that has Sirens

I was trying to figure out how to put a 4 in there some where but I can't lol I guess I'm just not creative enough :D
