- and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

Ah! This is fascinating! A girlfriend of mine read it, and absolutely RAVED about it....said things like, "it really spoke to me", and "she feels so deeply",........phunnee, because I love this buddy, but we have NEVER had the same taste in a lot of things, books being a big one....

Thanks, Susie.....I'll be a'passin' on dat one...... <_<

My beloved cousin in Boston canNOT stop recommending this book to me - - I don't have the heart to tell her that I can't even phinish it (though.........I can't PROMISE I won't finish it - - there is a train-wreck fascination to just how truly insipid and awful it is, adn I pick it up every few nights :ph34r::lol: )

GIAH-KNIT, what was that solipsistic book you were reading - or trying to read - was it "Eat, Pray, Love" by chance?

Because......I just borrowed it from my mom, who couldn't finish it - nor could her entire book club finish it - and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

Yep, that's the one. I couldn't finish it. Probably half the book club couldn't finish it. Only one person from our club had anything positive to say about it (she related to the divorce) but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed bashing the author and her book.

I had to use forced waiting periods to get any reading done on it . . . whilst waiting for me mammogram . . . whilst waiting for me root canal . . . whilst waiting for the bamboo shoots to be driven in under me fingernails.

:huh: I don't get it.......was such a massive bestseller........I was reading it the other day, many many tedious paragraphs describing her first meal in Italy.......now, I love Italy as much or more than anyone else, and gawd knows I love me some good phood porn......but I was OUT OF MY MIND with anger and boredom, all at once. :lol: I love reading about people's journeys and their transformation from something awful.......and COULD NOT CARE LESS about this woman...........

She's one of Oprah's gurus now, too. <_< I seriously don't get the fascination......

you are NOT dissing Oprah!?!?

I haven't cared for the couple of her books that I've read either, but she has gotten thousands of people to read. That's worth a lot, in my book.

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Am going to attempt Pillars of the Earth - looks long but quite good.

True that. Alas, I think her audience is a demographic that is largely readers, anyway......but who knows.

If only we could get her to read the silly thread (if she isn't already :lol: ). Life-changing, for her viewers, and for Oprah herself, fo' shizzle.

:lol: :lol:

I'm generally not a phan of Archer, but I loved Pillars. Think you'll like this one, Susie. :)

I think Oprah is on here..... .. just something I've been suspecting... .. one of those ''guests" or anonymous users... .. Hell, how long does Oprah think she can stay anonymous?

We all know that Oprah owns the world, or a large chunk of it...but she doesn't own Sillyville..... .. I think she's gotten wind of us, of this amazing, untouched place, and she wants in.........

Wait!!!!!....

Haven't seen Llamalady in a few pages..........

Could it be???!!!.... . . ..

Ah, Oprah and her book club:

Open Original Shared Link

I read a few on her list. I read several of the titles when she first started the book club, but I have no memory of them :lol: I do remember I could not get into Jewel. A New Earth is sitting on my dresser unfinished <_<

Anna Karinana I love, one of my favorite books, but I read it way before she put it on her list :P

I am sure Bev will have some things to say about Oprah :lol:

My pants got slightly sweaty and loose as I watered the yard just now, I had to throw them in the dryer and shrink the butt back to size :ph34r:

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour. I would have been absolutely CERTAIN that you would get a kick out of it.....

You must keep watching it.....it is SOOOOO PHUNNNNEEE!!!

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill
