Patricia - wishing you well. We are here for support if needed.

[E.]

Janet. Break my tie please. =}

[E.]

Never mind. Daisy broke it.

Thanks Daisy !
Maybe it'll stay broken.

[Sean, Moderator]

Thanks Janet for the work.

Good idea for the voting, I think I might need your help, I have two books, but I do not mind reading both.

But I am happy if you vote anyway, even if you don't have your own.

I do believe if you add a list and want people to vote for you, then you should vote for everyone else, whether you know the book or not, it's fun.

OK, I will. I did have my left eye corrected a few years ago, but the current technology is amazing. My pre-op was yesterday and the exam was nothing like it was the last time. The equipment was something else. I wonder how the "Doctors Without Borders" do this surgery in the jungle.

Good for you! (Not sure I want to be on the road with you, though.)

Oh, come on. My driving record is clean and pure. I am on the road calling on customers every week; and, delivering my magazines once a month to approximately 90 locations.

Patricia, hope the op goes really well. And I'd happily get in the car with you and let you drive this UKer around!! ;-)

Actually, I would love to visit the UK and have you drive me around. It is one of my dreams on my bucket list.

Your message is a mystery. By the way, just dreaming about a vacation to the UK. I can't find the time to visit my sister in Kentucky.

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, Patricia, I did realise it was a dream. Just like my going to the States is not going to happen anytime soon. Was just being friendly.

The mystery I was referring to was your post #160. Is that some sort of code?

[Christine]

That's a happy, smily face lying on it's side, Patricia! Janet is smiling.

Are you serious? This is a new one for me.

Yep, I am serious. I have used that very smily face at least 1000 times in the last dozen years. At least.

[Christine]

E, are you looking at me? (-:

[E.]

It reminds me of my mom. She loves her cat, so I ended a text to her with:
>^..^<
She asked me if that was a math problem.
I said it's a cat
Later that day she sent me
<..>
I said what is that a clam? An alien?
She said I don't know, it's all I got

[Perri]

Haha, your mom sounds great!

LOL, E! I love the cat. And I think Perri is right about the clam. HAHA!

[David]

A thumbs up here for the cat, too.

The other one looks like a crab to me.

[Janet , Moderator]

Hadn't even occurred to me that Patricia didn't see that as a smiley face?!!! I love the cat and clam! Brilliant!!

[Patricia]

Geez! I must have been under a rock when all these great codes were introduced/

[E.]

Patricia, here you go...

hello world =}

[Patricia]

E. - thanks for the link to emoticons! I knew the smiley face but there are so many more. I might just impress my kids!

[Jean]

E, thanks for that link. I never knew there were so many :-o

[Perri]

I like how the Eastern and Japanese ones you don't have to tilt your head :)

[Janet , Moderator]

The newer phones come with them all. Shame GR doesn't recognise the better coloured ones.

I'll be starting this tonight. It is my only Netgalley book right now. I am being sure not to overload on Netgalley. I feel too stressed with so many and that's just me.

Easy one, Perri! Used to love watching Agassi play. Definitely that one gets my vote! :-)

I can't wait to get I Let You Go, Pat. Your next read looks good too--I haven't run across that one yet.

[Patricia]

Janet, did you vote for me yet? By the way, had my cataract surgery today and so far so good. I asked my doctor about her bio which said she graduated Med School from Tulane , She said it was 2 months before Katrina. Then she volunteered that the 100 year old hospital at Tulane is probably going to be destroyed because of the damage. What a shame!

[Patricia]

Patricia - glad to hear your surgery went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[Sue]

Glad your surgery went well Patricia. Take it easy on your eyes.

[Patricia]

Thank you all.

[Jean]

Good to hear that your surgery went well, Patricia! I'm sure you can't wait to get back to reading!

[Lisa]

I still needed a few votes from people that did not vote, but hey no biggie. I will be reading "One Kick" by Chelsea Cain. It won with 12 votes! That's good enough for Me!
