[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear MAHNY!

I thank you so much.....

He really gets upset at textbook prices ...as you can see!

Thanks for going by!

:loveya: :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

8. thanks for posting!

im quite afriad to see the price of all my textbooks when I return to get a Biology BS...oy. Im gonna go to CUNY, so im sure my books will be about as expensive as the semester!

How you doing heart lady?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Aw, MAHNY.....

I am very well indeed, sweetie! I'm having a lovely relaxed day......

I am so embarrassed at how many hearts I have! I'm glad to see that nearly everyone now has at least one .....

:loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

14. you shouldn't be embarrassed....

you are quite a special lady! you deserve them all! :loveya:

[deadparrot]

25. From a current student,

try half.com if you haven't already! :hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

37. when I got my BA i never had any textbooks to buy...

I only had to get real books for my classes. thanks for the tip! :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

5. I like his post about college textbooks.

I just had my bank account ravaged by the cost.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear primate1!

He has given a lot of thought, and done some research into the problem as well.....

Glad you liked the post!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Glad to have him on our (the students') side.

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. He has ALWAYS been......

Especially since that is now what takes up most of his time!

I call him my professional student! :rofl:

[Maestro]

13. The first sentence I read had

screwed in it. It's going to be a good read from that point I know. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Maestro!

Thank you.....

Yes, he minces no words at all! He really knows how to get his thoughts down on the page....I nearly said 'paper'!

He is a most incisive thinker......very intellectual!


Where I tend to be stream of consciousness, intuitive type thinker....if you can say I think! J/K......

Glad you enjoyed it!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[huskerlaw]

16. Thanks for the link, Peggy!

I'll definitely be sure to check in, though I'm sure he'll lose me with the math/physics portion.

Although I'm no longer a student, I had to laugh at the textbook entry. In law school we planned on spending about $1000/semester on books. For those of us who took summer classes, that was $3000/year. And then of course when you went to sell the book back to the bookstore, the $350 Con Law book got you a whopping $25 back. We all switched to half.com for both buying and selling. :)

Say :hi: to Ben for me!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Will do, sweetie! Thanks for coming by tonight!

Right now, he's only talking about the textbooks......

Great to see you! How are the kitties doing?


:loveya: :hug:

[huskerlaw]

28. They're getting along better

although now they both have colds (just like little kids, lol). Everything should be fine by next week. :)

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Ah, my dear MrsGrumpy!

Thank you so much...wow, and the Queen of Hearts herself.....

I am honored, madam...truly!

Yes, my husband is a pretty amazing guy.......sooo smart, and sweet too!

It is my pleasure to share with you, and everyone.....

:loveya: :hug:

[Book Lover]

21. Well, as someone who works for a college textbook publisher

I'm looking forward to crafting a careful reply to your husband's post. I am assuming he doesn't know much about the costs of doing business spread out over short print runs...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear Book Lover.....

I really don't know.....but I do know he will respond, and carefully, as well, to you......

Talk to him and you will find out just how much he does know!

I thank you for joining in the conversation tonight.....

:hi:

[Book Lover]

26. That's why I want to write it carefully

I know that he (and all college students) has a legit beef, but there honestly *is* another side. Because he's your sweetie, I'll be gentle!

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. How neat!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear proud2Blib!

Glad you like it! And thank you for coming by tonight.....

[Whoa_Nelly]

30. Cool, CP!

Tell Doctor Ben he better be at our DU meetup when we get around to really setting it in motion!

Meanwhile....kind of hard for me to make plans due to extreme problems with hives. Am under a doctor's care and on meds, so have had no hives attacks since last Wednesday night. Have had a lot of bloodwork done, and am hoping theresults will help discover the cause. Doc says its systemic since this has now been going on since before Christmas.

Once things are under control, I really do want to set up a CA DU meetup of some kind.

Kudos to Doctor Ben! :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

Thanks for coming by and for your very kind remarks!

Unfortunately, my husband is not too interested in DU.....so I very much doubt that he will attend with me.....I'll try!

I am a lot more outgoing than he is......

Don't make plans now.....you need to recover from your nasty bout with the hives!

I know the meetup will happen.....not to worry!

Good to see you tonight, sweetie!

:loveya: :hug:

[donheld]

Thanks for your nice comments!
