And I began to picture you sitting on that ball while posting and rolling here and there, willy nilly and I began to laugh out loud, kind of ruining any attempt at putting on makeup Oh my thats funny!Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-18505494238730136612009-10-29T08:49:43.999-05:002009-10-29T08:49:43.999-05:00Candy, my dear dear friend, I do indeed remember ...Candy, my dear dear friend, I do indeed remember when you would go to the cafes or library to write in our book club. As for our online bookclub, I miss the excitement of you, mama! And tell Mr. Anchovy I thank him for making you laugh about all that stupidity.Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-88989792495298262482009-10-29T08:32:00.214-05:002009-10-29T08:32:00.214-05:00I didn't have a computer until a couple of yea...I didn't have a computer until a couple of years ago. All those years I was going to see you at Constant Reader (how are the drama queens doing anyways ha ha. Everyone says I should wear being banned from a bookclub as a badge of honour. Especially Mister Anchovy...when I told him about the melodrama of a couple of the moderators...he was howling with laughter. He thought it was the funniest story he'd ever heard! He made me feel pretty cheered up by the whole histrionics of those ladies) I never had a computer. I would use public libraries, internet cafes etc. <br /><br />When I look back, it's amazing the level of participation I put in at The Cormac McCarthy Forum and my online bookclubs for 10 years without actually having a computer in my apartment!<br /><br />I actually think I began to participate LESS online activities once I owned a computer. <br /><br />I use this computer for editing films and for writing e-mails and still...visiting my bookclubs when i get a chance. And for all the blogging. I have found that the people I've met through blogging have added such an incredible level of enjoyment to my life...by hearing their recollections and the pace of writing and visiting via blogs is very meditative in some ways. I enjoy discussing books so much online...and movies...in ways that there doesn't seem to be in "real life". Like...not the same kind of time frame spent on discussing or perhaps it's that there is time to process what folks say and return? I don't know.<br /><br />Um...Four Dinners...if you see this...I know I'm a bit behind...but I have a trick for sitting at the computer. I use one of those big exercise inflated balls as my chair. At first it feels wobbly but then after a while you realize your tummy muscles are actually doing quite a workout. In half an hour of sitting on one at the computer it's a decent core workout.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-24212721176350274092009-10-29T05:51:54.782-05:002009-10-29T05:51:54.782-05:00Four Dinners, of course I'm not abandoning shi...Four Dinners, of course I'm not abandoning ship. i think I was just a bit off kilter, mood wise, when I wrote that. <br /><br />I think y'all are stuck with me, like it or not.Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-75222431091774127062009-10-28T07:48:52.055-05:002009-10-28T07:48:52.055-05:00I'd notice if you stopped....lost a few blogma...I'd notice if you stopped....lost a few blogmates along the way.<br /><br />Still, you have a good point. I used to walk everywhere when I was a kid. I suspect I've put a few pounds on cause now I don't walk anywhere...I just sit and type!DILLIGAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520650650468676361noreply@blogger.com
