Proud new owner of a Treo… I hope…
Last night I stalked a Treo on ebay. I want one very badly to replace the Palm III that died recently, but I don't want to pay $400 for a new one. I didn't bid until the last three minutes, because I hate to announce my presence to the other bidders and give the...

Based on the comments I got back from the fresh pair of eyes and my other friend, "Women's Work" is officially in circulation. Woohoo! And I'd like to know--why is a SASE such a bizarre concept? The counterpeople always look at me like I'm nuts when I ask for a stamp....

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
