message 20609: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9988 comments the managing editor of that pharmacy journal says he might put my review of Silent Shock: The Men Behind the Thalidomide Scandal and an Australian Family's Long Road to Justice into August's edition. You will all have to remind me at the start of August so I don't fall off the treadmill when I turn the page...

That'll be good Marianne:) Having the review in, not you falling off the treadmill!!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9988 comments Rita, I did assure my mother that our meet/swap in Sydney was safe, even though they were people I'd met on the internet, because they were all women my age (well not Suzanne), and we were meeting in broad daylight in public. Of course I didn't REALLY KNOW that till I got there......but they turned out to be much better looking that their avatars! And the only danger was: even more books to read!!!

Carolyn | 9868 comments I'm not really a pot of African violets on a bookshelf (although they are both mine) but I guess you'd all worked that out! Much prettier than my real photo I can tell you! I am disappointed though that Michael doesn't really have sugar lips!

You'll be able to call yourself a regular book reviewer for a professional journal then Marianne! This could be the start of something big!

Marianne I always assumed your pic was taken at work because of soooo many books on your table/desk, but now I know you a bit better I'm thinking you probably just got home from one of your Lifeline, Salvos trips! ;)

Kathryn | 3569 comments Dale wrote: "Am I the only one that has a reasonably recent pic as my avatar?LOL."

No - I'm extremely boring, Dale - my photo is me as I looked about 5 months ago - it doesn't get much more true to life than that! The only difference between me then and now is that now I need a haircut (which will be remedied on Tues if I can only remember to ring to make an appointment!).

It's very tiny. It's a little statue I have on my desk.

I need eye bleach stat!!! I hate it when people let out pics of Tone in his budgie smugglers without warning. It's worse than being rick rolled.
