Why be Happy when you could be Normal?

I haven't read it, and usually avoid fiction novels. But it looks interesting, and is written by an actual adoptee, and looks to be based on a real story(I think), so I may have to give it a shot! Especially since you like it and it has you thinking. I like the ones that get you thinking :) And of course I like hearing other adoptees stories, and adding them to my big picture. The title has my curiosity going too, I like that sort of stuff. So, until I conquer the book... What kind of things did she experience? Or what in particular are you wondering about?

This book is non-fiction (her book, "orange isn't the only fruit", was the fictionalized version) When I wrote this post, i was in the part where she truly believes her AM got her mainly because she didn't have any friends and needed one. Later on, it became clear that this AM was more broken then typical adults Later in the book, she (possible spoiler alert*) goes through the effort of tracking down her B-family. that was very interesting

Still haven't read the book yet:o But glad it is non fiction! I keep thinking about it, will order it today, impatient and wishing I could find every book online for free LOL I gotta get one of those kindle things, anyone know which one a person should get? A person who can't see chit anymore? I think Santa would love to bring me one.

The thing I like about my kindle (based on vague recollections, j has taken custody :p ).. you can change the font to any size. that is extremely helpful for those of us with "aging eyes" if you only want one for reading, you can get away with the 6" eink If you also was videos and music, one of the kindle fires is quite nice

I might be safe since my kids are elsewhere now:moped: I need a zoom for sure. I've realized I am no longer into the small stuff, I'd love a cell phone that's as big as my big TV too. If everything could work on the 4 foot TV, I'd be set, and found sitting 4 feet from it LOL I'd be willing to tote it all around in a wagon at this point. I'm so "aging" I tied my cell phone to the wall in the kitchen with an old curly phone cord so I can find the thing when I need it:rolleyes: Ahhh the good ole days BTW, if anyone doesn't know this, since so many people have given up their land phone lines... If you have an old cell phone that is not activated, but the battery still charges, you can keep it charged or plugged in, and place it or attach it somewhere so you will always know where it is. Then you can find it and use it for dialing 911 if needed. It doesn't have to be activated to dial 911. I painted 911 on the front of the phones I use for this purpose, and have them in several rooms and in the garage. Believe me, it's hard to remember 3 simple numbers and how to dial them and function when your panicked and shaking. Speaking of shaking, I'm not so "aging" that I won't be putting on my new wing suit and taking flight this weekend like these guys in this video:eek: [url=http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sky+flying+suite+video&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=8B62335B619B346DD7AD8B62335B619B346DD7 AD]sky flying suite video - Bing Videos[/url] Too excited. I dreamed of these suits while I was talking on the phone attached to my parents kitchen wall decades ago - and now I have one!!!! No more coffee for me today!:coffee:
