A Goodreads quote on Reading

Reading is one of my favorite things. Better than TV and better than the movies.  To me, at least. -  Always Better.  Imagination tops any effects.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. 

Dr. Seuss

Theodor Geisel (born March 2, 1904), a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, acquired his pseudonym as a student at Dartmouth. He was caught drinking with friends and, as punishment, was forced to drop out of his extracurricular activities. That didn't stop him from continuing to write for the campus humor magazine using his mother's maiden name, Seuss.

Asking questions. Read BEFORE you ask

Some of the readers indiscriminately ask questions.

I request that before you ask questions to read items already previously asked, because most likely, your question has already been covered.  If you read the responses to these questions, you can better phrase your own question and ask a clarification instead of a generic question.

also, those of you in HR ... please be aware of the functions of your department or unit because HR is usually responsible for some of these issues.  So you MUST what you are responsible for.

A Goodreads Quote- on Eating and Reading

Readers of this world, Unite!

Dont you agree?  Such a pleasure to read, and to read while enjoying another lavish pleasure - eating

Yes, luxury to the max.  A wonderful drink also adds to the pleasure.

There is nothing more luxurious than eating while you read; unless it be reading while you eat. Amabel did both: they are not the same thing, as you will see if you think the matter over. 

E. Nesbit

Prolific author E. Nesbit (born August 15, 1858) is best known for The Railway Children, The Story of the Treasure Seekers, and Five Children and It. She is also one of the founders of the Fabian Society, which laid the groundwork for the current Labor Party in the UK.

Goodreads quote - about reading

Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head. 


Paul Auster
Happy 67th birthday, Paul Auster! As a novelist, he is preoccupied with the concept of chance. At 14, Auster was standing next to a friend who was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning.

have a good weekend everyone and Happy Birthday to Ofie Templo tomorrow

i am going to relax Spock's way and hopefully get over this feeling like my body wants to get sick....

am going on another spate of reading.... :)


happy birthday Ofie Martin Templo

TGIF

i know this feeling well, and everyone i know celebrates it
have a good weekend

for me the weekend looms very quietly, a time to rest (the way Spock would, not the way Kirk would, in classic Trek), hopefully a time to cook -

i was planning on sinigang na something - bangus (milkfish) or baboy (pork)

i have kangkong, sili, and will get labanos (radish), and maybe some gabi (i dont quite remember the English term for this)

i know my doc would prefer it were boneless bangus instead of pork, bangus belly would be good but my cardio told me it isnt all that good, being omega-3 NOT omega-6 unlike wild salmon, which is omega-6.

 yes, i get these gems everytime i have my checkup.

i am also planning on shrimp omelets

this is just an egg omelet with garlic (i love garlic, freshly pound into bits), patola, onions (i prefer the red ones), and shrimps, which i prefer to cut up into pieces so one can taste the shrimp all over the omelet.

yum. so i hope i dont feel too tired ,,,, and that someone comes over to assist me

i have to do the usual, wash clothes (throw them into the washer, yep, even the expensive ones), and i segregate as one should. and i change the bed linens, and clean my room and bath.  *sigh*

then i have to shop and buy some water pipes for my PT ... this is to relax the muscles

and if i am lucky, i get to eat tapadera.  lovely beef- which i really really love, with potatoes and onion rings.

and my fave activity. read.  i am re-reading my clancy books, at least the Jack Ryan ones.

What? Wicked people dont read?

i just had to share this.  i was going over my list of wicked people - that is, the truly wicked, or the now turned wicked and i find that indeed, they have lost their time for reading.  So, think about the people you know - at least those you find wicked, and well, do they still have time for reading?

i thought about the quote, maybe it is because people who have no time to read also have no time to reflect - on their actions - and without an examination of the things we've done, well .... we would have the tendency to backslide ... and think ... it is such a little sin.  unfortunately, there is no such thing as a little sin.

remember, even what we say .... but that quote is for another day.  *smile*

you will live longer. 

Wicked people never have time for reading. 
It's one of the reasons for their wickedness.
