Ha, I am an Awkward Dork
Aunt B - September 3 2010 05:24:23 PM

So, yes, the second to the last thing I said to the Amazon dude was “Talk to you soon.” I cringed. But then I thought, you know, I normally talk on the phone to the Professor or my brother or my parents. I live in an email world. Amazon dude is lucky I didn’t automatically say, ...

Two Amazon Kindle Things
Aunt B - September 3 2010 03:43:31 PM

1. The photos Coble sent me of how the book looks on her Kindle look amazing. 2. I got an email from a guy at Amazon about what went wrong and how they can improve it. He’s going to call me here in a bit. So, I have to give credit where credit is due. ...

Silent No More
Southern Beale - September 3 2010 01:24:00 PM

Yeah I know the “silent no more” meme is a favorite Teanut rallying cry but we Lefties find it amusing considering how conservatives basically rule our national discourse. Glenn Beck farts and the media rushes to cover it; Breitbart pulls some vicious lies out of thin air and organizations lose ...

Suggestions [Men]
Lean Left - September 3 2010 12:34:18 PM

Just a few thoughts here, guys: There’s a zipper on your pants for a reason. It’s so you can get your junk out and do your business at a urinal without disrobing. It’s easy to use, unless you are supremely under-endowed, and you ought to make a habit of it. ...

Book Doings
Aunt B - September 3 2010 09:37:54 AM

Well, so there’s a book book and a Kindle version of the book. People who ordered from Amazon are starting to get their books. I guess people who order Kindle versions will get their books whenever they order them. People who ordered from the printer, all I can tell you is that I’ve g...

Oh, I Forgot to Tell You The Other Funny Things about the Redheaded Kid
Aunt B - September 3 2010 09:15:28 AM

He just told us last night that he’s afraid of cats. He wouldn’t move the new kitty out of the chair because he doesn’t want to touch her because she might attack him. Fair enough, but he’s house-sat for us for as long as we’ve known him. And he never m...

Second Only to Delighting a Member of the Goth Community
Aunt B - September 2 2010 08:39:54 PM

My secret hope is that the Nashville Goth community will come to love my book. That will delight the hell out of me. But what happened tonight was almost as good. The Redheaded Kid came over and he was all “What have you  been up to?” And I said, “I wrote a book.&...
