Re: repurposing books

I've donated at least 500 books to several local libraries and it always feels good to know someone else might enjoy them. I can't imagine throwing a book in the garbage so I shouldn't have even jokingly suggested that in my previous post above.

Re: Do you believe in God?

Hello, There was a time I did believe wholeheartedly that God existed. Unfortunately life and the state of the world and amount of evil in the world makes me seriously question if he exists. I completely agree. When you look around and see so much pain and suffering, and then you are told that ther...

Re: repurposing books

OK, I'll bite! What book is this that is troubling you so much? You always could throw it in the garbage, donate it to a library, or light it on fire. But please tell us the name of this book! :hmm:

I'd appreciate some feedback.
You're a better writer than I am so stick with it. I like how this reads. I'll try to finish it soon. But the first few pages are written well.

Re: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Ch. 1: Don’t Try

Taylor, there is a serious chance that I'm in total agreement with you on this one. I've only now started the book, so I'm going to try to refrain from forming a solid opinion this early into it.

Re: Hurricane Ian

It's so good to hear that you are recovering from that hurricane. It sucks knowing that thousands of people may never fully recover. I know a lot of people didn't have homeowners insurance, or they lost things that cannot be replaced. The pain must have been horrific for those people, and of course,...
