Forwards
For a while now, I have been one of the 25+ people my aunt sends her great forwards to (yes, they’re not sent Bcc). Yesterday, it was about bananas (glancing over it now, I see it says that bananas are a good cure for constipation, warts, and hangovers. It ended with the inspirational cry of “PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS”)
Today, it went back to the usual format: A subject line containing the word {UNCLASSIFIED}. It contained questions such as “ababaaabbbbaaaabbbb ababaabbaaabbbb (Ans. = long time no 'C')”
The best thing about it was the comments between the questions. I’ll let them speak for themselves; they do a lot of it:
“Okay, let's see if you've got the hang of it.
OK . . Got the drift ?
Let's try a few now and see how you fare ?
Not having a good day now, are you ? Redeem yourself.
Not easy to figure out ha!
C'mon give it a little thought!!
U can prove u r smart by getting this one.
Oh no, not again!!
Now u messing up big time.
Not even close ! !
Okay last chance ........... ......
And the last one is real fundoo - - -“
It had the typical ending of:
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
I can only hope that she will somehow leave me off of the forward list, like she did to Fu-oo-yan. Until then, the delete button is my friend

Book Meme
I got this meme from the much celebrated Lori
Hardback or trade paperback or mass market paperback? Paperback
Amazon or brick and mortar? Amazon (I mostly get world music here, though)
Barnes & Noble or Borders? Borders (I mostly get music here, too)
Bookmark or dogear? Nothing (I don’t dogear them or use a book mark; when I'm done, I just shut the book, and have hopefully remembered to look at what page number I'm on)
Alphabetize by author or alphabetize by title or random? Random, but with all the books by one author in one area.
Keep, throw away, or sell? Keep so far.
Keep dustjacket or toss it? Keep it.
Read with dustjacket or remove it? Start reading it with it, but when it gets in my way (typically on larger books) I take it off.
Short story or novel? Novel
Collection (short stories by same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)? Collection
Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket? Neither
Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks? I try to stop at chapter breaks, but if I have to, I will stop in the middle of a chapter.
“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”? Neither (they're a little overused), although if I had to choose, the former.
Buy or Borrow? Buy
New or used? Preferably new, or used in good condition (there’s nothing quite like happily reading a book, then finding a chunk of food in it)
Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse? Recommendation
Tidy ending or cliffhanger? Tidy ending usually
Morning reading, afternoon reading or nighttime reading? Night and very early morning
Stand-alone or series? Either
Favorite series? The Lord of the Rings
Favorite children's book? Anne of Green Gables and the rest of that series
Favorite book of which nobody else has heard? I don’t know.
Favorite books read last year?
Fiction: War and Peace
Nonfiction: Material World: A Global Family Portrait (Hungry Planet would be up there, too, but I didn’t finish it until this year)
Favorite books of all time? The Lord of the Rings
Least favorite book you finished last year? Thr3e
What are you reading right now? The Thirteenth Tale
What are you reading next? To Kill a Mockingbird (Yeah, I hope your happy, Lori. Don’t bug me about it anymore, or I might put off reading it some more. Perhaps then it would become the Pride and Prejudice of just me)
