AnneLine Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Cartermia, if I were your confessor... and you did something really bad... hand over that library card.... :evil: :priest: I didn't do anything that bad, but good thing my confessor doesn't know that I LOVE to read... That might be a little understatement :bible: :bible: I'm glad I will not need to confiscate your card!!!!! :) Keep it up!!!! But.... if at one point you want to do some penance, or want to ask a special favor from God, close the books for a few hours.... and see what God does with it... ;) And perhaps THIS belongs on this thread... he hehe If you have ever worked with anyone who has never used a computer before, this is ESPECIALY funny....

ChristinaTherese Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) AL, I love that video. One of my favorite professors showed it to my History of English class this last Spring, which was at least the third time I'd seen it. I just blurted out (I don't hold my tongue in class a lot, probably since I was homeschooled from 5th grade all the way through high school), "It's totally worth seeing a second time." when he said that "Some of you may have seen this before." Thinking of him, he took a wonderful children's book to class one day to show us. Here's a video of a woman reading part of it (I don't think it goes on much longer, but there are at least a few more pages): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyApzqWjvRU He was just going to pass it around, but we made him read it to us.... :evil: Then he stopped because there were other people around (including a class right across from us, I think) and the door was open. ETA: How do I embed the video? I thought it would do that automatically.... Edited August 10, 2013 by Christina Thérèse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) ARFink had to tell me how to embed videos. They used to just do themselves, now dUSt makes us work! You put this before the link [media] and this after the link [/media] but all on one line, without the spaces. (I'm putting in the spaces so it won't turn into a video!) [media] insert-the-link-for-video-here [/media] <---like this but WITHOUT the spaces before and after the brackets and without the color changing.... Here's the video you wanted to imbed, imbedded! (and it was fun, thank you Christina Therese!) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyApzqWjvRU[/media] Can we all count a few more pages now??? huh??? huh???? :evil: I Count 19 pages for reading Press Here by Henre Tullet edit: hmmm... video isn't loading... it's being ornry, isn't it. Trying this again... 2nd edit: well, your link at least was live... Not sure what is happening..... :doh: 3rd edit: Humph, I guess it is starting to play by the rules now.... BROTHER!!!!

AnneLine Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well, working on preparing the page count over here, and I have a few questions for Cartermia... want to get this done right! I just included the new stuff you gave me, including 23,100 regular babysitters' club pages (131 books) and 1,7500 Super BSC pages (7 books) I'm still missing page counts for The Third Degree, Break and Enter and Book I of The Lost Years of Merlin. So for now, those are counted as BOOK but not in page totals. If you give me page counts, I will add those.... As of now, I show a terrifying 175 books read and a total page count of 36,009 This doesn't exactly match your totals, but it's close enough for me... and to blow everyone else out of the water. Hoping to post this at some point in next 24 hours... will post these numbers unless you give me changes. For all of us... it also means that, with a few more books read by others, we now have 408 documented books read and 77,900 pages read this summer!!!! WOW! Formal tallies coming soon.....

LittleWaySoul Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Read the Scapular info AnneLine! Thanks so much for sharing! People need to be better informed on what wearing a scapular is all about before they decide to wear one. Too many people don't know what it really means (I was one of them before you shared this!). So thank you for sharing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks you! I did think it was funny a while back when someone suggested that that info must be wrong because it didn't match up with what he/she 'knew' was the correct info about the scapular. Myself, I'll take the word of the people who run the order that owns the scapular! And I think you can count those pages now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
