Buying books
« on: March 29, 2008, 02:14:35 PM »
My only indulgence in life is to buy and then read books.I get through three or four a week.

I just got back with Peter Ackroyd's biography of Shakespeare.

Mrs Nick has gone mad."Where are we going to keep all these books? Can we get rid of some ( eeek:)?"

She just doesn't understand noooo:

If we got rid of her tat we'd have loads of room........

 rubschin: Get rid of Mrs Nick ~ think of the space that would save. When the first Mrs Snoopy had finished apportioning the custody of our life's possessions I had a suitcase of clothes and a suitcase of books. Nothing else ...... except a song in my heart. whistle:

After the first two Mrs S#1 found the ultimate birth control method. She looked up at me from the pillows, cradling our second to her breast and said softly "You want any more ~ You fvcking have them".
A passing midwife roared with laughter.

When I did the Midwifery module as a student nurse there was a couple giving birth to their first child and she grabbed him somewhere extremely tender when she had to start pushing, It was difficult to say who was screaming louder, or who was higher pitched so you pair were extremely lucky.  eeek:
