I know I wasn't around much during the day time in the US, because I was fast asleep! I don't know how much of the quietness is due to time zones, though, but I think it does add.<br /><br />As for yahoo... Urgh. That's awful. I'm sorry to hear you've been having so many problems with them. I do love the letter. I'm just sad you've had to write it in the first place.<br /><br />Your round-ups boggle me, you know. You read <I>so much</I> at the same time. I'm having book envy and reading speed envy here! (And juggling skills envy and... Envy all round! ^-~) Are you one of those people who secretly has 32 hours in the day? (I have a friend like that. I'm always amazed to hear she has time to breathe, never mind sleep!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-61472421562480482292009-04-20T00:18:00.000-05:002009-04-20T00:18:00.000-05:00Loved the Letter to Yahoo!!

But I'll tell you the same thing I told Kelly (kailana). You read so much your LIFE is a read-a-thon! I'm in awe of you!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-82715715513925712252009-04-19T21:58:00.000-05:002009-04-19T21:58:00.000-05:00I love The Bone Doll's Twin.

I'm glad I'...Meghan, thanks for stopping by! I'm glad I'm not the only one awake and semi-functioning at least :) I haven't had hotmail in ages. I like gmail the best of anything I've tried. I like the way you're able to filter messages. (If yahoo has that function, then I missed that somewhere.) But I do *want* yahoo to resolve its issue.<br /><br />Amanda, I went to bed last night because I knew I'd have to be up and at church this morning. I teach Sunday School so I can't really go about skipping church :) <br /><br />Yahoo. I don't know if you've been getting error five or not. But what I've just tried is to de-clutter my inbox. I had an embarrassingly large number of emails in my main inbox. Imagine if you haven't cleaned your inbox out since the fall of 2004. It was bad. Very bad. So I started sorting my year. Who knew I got 1,000 to 1,200 messages a month? Some months were even worse than that. Anyway, I'm not saying your problem is a messy inbox. But I *think* at least a contributing factor to my yahoo problems--an inbox that had trouble loading (and loading/scrolling/sorting) is it was just too big. <br /><br />So we'll see how it goes from now.<br /><br />And I'll be reviewing Emil & Karl soon. A day or two at most.<br /><br />And I do like long comments :)<br /><br />Chris, that feeling goes away quickly doesn't it. One minute you're thinking not another book...and then the next day you're back for a fix. :) <br /><br />Debi, that would be impossible :) There's no making a fool of you. I hoped the yahoo bit would make people smile :) I just wish the people who ran yahoo were as open and friendly and as real as some of these others...like the ones who run adaptive blue and flock.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Kristi!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-86863958551706655332009-04-19T19:11:00.000-05:002009-04-19T19:11:00.000-05:00Happened upon your blog by chance (link from anoth...Happened upon your blog by chance (link from another readathon site.) Where I am it is cold, rainy and dreary -- a perfect day to lie low! I hope you get caught up on sleep. I also was drawn to your Don Quixote remarks, because a local high school did "Man of La Mancha" this weekend. It was great. Didn't get as much reading in as I personally would have liked and did NOT do the readathon, though I'm envious of those who did. <br /><br />Personally, I just finished re-reading, for the umpteenth time, a classic YA book, one of the "Betsy-Tacy" high school books. Just love those. On the non-fiction side, I'm absorbing "Dominance and Delusion" by <A HREF="http://www.dominanceanddelusion.com/" REL="nofollow"> M.A. Curtis.</A> Very thought-provoking, as it explores the WHYS of our behavior and thought. If nothing else, the book outlines a totally unique way of looking at religion.<br /><br />Get some rest!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-61767213499067181702009-04-19T19:09:00.000-05:002009-04-19T19:09:00.000-05:00I didn't get a chance to do the read-a-thon this y...I didn't get a chance to do the read-a-thon this year, but I've been enjoying reading about everyone else's adventures with it. <br /><br />Yahoo can definitely be a pain in the patootie. Your letter to them made me laugh though ;o). Hope they can figure out what error 5 really means and let us all in on it one day!

(Okay, so maybe that's really not much different than any other day.)<br /><br />I'm sorry about all your yahoo problems. Really, truly I am. But I couldn't help laughing like crazy over your thank you letter!

Which will totally screw up my mental clock since I wasn't even one of those that made it the whole night! <br /><br />And you know what?? I've been having a major problem with Yahoo lately too. I don't know what's going on with it but 75% of the time I can't in my inbox either. Weird. Glad to know they were so helpful about the issue though. :(<br /><br />I have a new giveaway up, maybe that will cheer you a bit about the Yahoo problem! hehe<br /><br />I can't wait to see your review of Emil and Karl, since I still haven't been able to get a copy...<br /><br />And now I'll stop taking up space in your comments section.

I slept, though, so I didn't desperately need the break everyone else did.<br /><br />Yahoo sounds really incompetent. =/ I have an old, old email address at hotmail and they have gone downhill recently too. My gmail works much better, but I still feel a little uncomfortable knowing Google uses what I write for ads and stuff.Meghanhttp://chikune.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
