   She’s going to re-sell them to the thrift shops, to be made into sock puppets! There is a market for them, lol!

   My husband is the one who falls for this stuff. We did one for a while, right after we got married. It was nice for the honeymoon, but we only took one other 4-day break in over 10 years. We finally got out of it, to the tune of $1,000s lost. Then he got suckered again by a firm attached to his Choice account. Took a year, and several hours, plus 2 complimentary vacation stays in Branson for them to finally get it into their head (and my husband’s!) that this just isn’t the way we travel. No kids, no heirs to pass the contract to, etc. Plus they never had places where we actually wanted to go or things we wanted to do. Definitely a great way to travel with family, but for us as a couple of older people, not so much! :)

   I LOVE my kindle. I have more than 3,000 books at my fingertips! Some are lifetime favorites that I will re-read (like comfort food for the mind!), some are research or travel books, some are classics; and some, my favorite authors who write series books. When done, they often include a link at the back to get the next book in the series. Instant gratification. AND it really cuts down on the weight when traveling!!

   I have a heater/de-icer in the tub, so while it may be cold, the de-icer keeps the water just above freezing. I do have to be sure to top up the water, as the de-icer will stop working with no water. As for my floof, she is actually small, but as noted, very floofy. She is my Egyptian Persian, direct from Cairo. I am a pet-sitter for a rescue organization and she had come in on a rescue flight from Egypt. (The rescue takes in all kinds of purebred and mixed cats, they have a handshake agreement with a rescue in Egypt to find homes for some of the cats. She even has her own passport! She was found as a young cat wandering in a Cairo cemetery. For some reason, she took to me and I was “forced” to take her ….. lol! She is my TigerLily, Lily for short. Thank you for the compliments!

   I edited technical manuals for 15+ years. And the subject matter was varied. Depends on if you are editing grammar/punctuation. Most likely that is what Piro is doing. Subject matter experts are consulted before the manual is presented for final edit, i.e. grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.

    I took college courses late, (in my 40s) and in the accelerated Adult programs your classes lasted 4 weeks. Each week you had to turn in a 5-20 page paper on a subject with citations and in your own words. I did this working a full-time job and a part-time jobs, and about 20 hours of research/writing each week. I loved it, but I did not have a social life. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!!
