Hi Rho,

Your comment regarding what to do at your first deposition: "First thing: Go to the bathroom." So funny and perhaps the most important advice! You have been spending too much time talking to Jenny! It sounds exactly like her!

Hi Rho,

My tendonitis is getting better, so I don't think insurance would cover my Revolution, but I'll keep that in mind! The upside of getting worse? Thanks for the information.

I never read the Dark Tower series. I'm definitely going to get it now! They made Storm of the Century into a TV movie that was actually very good. I don't think I read that either. Gosh, I thought I had read them all. Guess not!

I went to your photography site and was so impessed by your lovely photos. How wonderful to have such a talent! And how gratifying to be able to give your subjects such a treasure!

Have a great day!

April

Hi Rhoda,

There were similarities to The Stand in Cell. A little laziness on King's part? I enjoyed it anyway! It sure made the driving time go faster, and I swear the tapes went on for hours and hours. It must have been a huge book! I finished his latest, Duma Key, a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't one of his best - but entertaining.

I love to read just about anything, particularly autobiographies. Truth is so much stranger than fiction! I'm reading For Laci which is by Laci Peterson's mom. Sad. At the same time, I'm reading Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth that everyone is reading, thanks to Oprah.

Jenny loves to read, too, but she is so busy helping everybody (including and especially me) that she doesn't have as much time as she'd like.

Thanks for the info on your site about the Gemini Revolution. I'm also checking out the Light Speed. They're both just fascinating. I'm really not in the market for a new writer just now. I've got a Stenura 8000. I developed tendonitis in both arms from overwork, cut way back and decided life is too short to work so hard. (Need more reading time!) I'm taking 2 to 3 short Workers' Comp jobs a week, and I don't think I'll ever go back to more!

I loved your "you might be a redneck court reporter" bit. Sent it around!

Good to meet you, too!

April

That's actually about what it is for me, about 1hr 15mins, I guess. Finally it's starting to get warmer. It makes me not actually mind to go outside. lol. Well, going to spend my day in Marcy Correctional Facility:) Have a good day, Rho!

Hi Rho, hope you had a great Easter. I know we are so busy, but I would love to meet you and have lunch or something! Definately worth the drive. We'll have to pick a time when it's warm out. lol.

Hi Rhod,

I'm Jenny's sister April. She has told me a lot about you, including the fact that we're both Steve King fans. I read your comment about "Cell." I listened to it for hours in my car driving to depos. Very scary! "The Stand" is also my all-time favorite. I've read it several times. The movie is also a really good adaptation. Most of his books just don't translate well to screen. That one is an exception.

I'm interested to hear how you like your Gemini Revolution.

Isn't Jenny wonderful? How lucky am I to have a sister like her. She helps me with absolutely everything, including putting my picture on my page!

Take care and enjoy your Easter.

April

It looks Cool I am going to order one and see about carrying them.

Thanks for the Easter greeting! I'm not doing anything special this year, but I may pop those refrigerator biscuits in the oven as a treat. April and my brother John are reporters. We've been working together for over 25 years as John got his CSR in 1983!

Yeah, that's my mom. I just got back from her house 20 minutes ago. I'd been there since Thursday, working on my taxes! She's been plying me with ice cream and coffee to help me ease the trauma. I've just downloaded Quicken, and all my months are in pieces. Some I could download, some I had to calculate by hand, etc. She's an hour and 15 minutes away, but it's a hard drive. She's the best! Enjoy your weekend - Jenny

Love your new picture additions. What a great pic of your work area! Looks so comfy. My sister, April Floyd, reads Stephen King as well. I'm sending her over to your page!

Still waiting on the bag, but I just left a comment for you about it under your "office" picture. GMTA! :)

Rhoda, thanks for the invite! Your machine looks so interesting! What would you say is the most beneficial reason for using this over the traditional writer?

Thanks!!

re: Renée and Brian pic:
Hey, I figure they asked the pic to be taken, it's mine to do with what I like! ;)

It is not rude of you to ask, I am actully from near Colgate College. I'm still another half an hour from there, but it's the closest place that anyone might be familiar with! lol. Very small town, to say the least.

I think that is SO cool that you are going to take the pictures at the pregnancy center, and even more awesome that you have a story behind some of it!! We all need someone like you in our life that has a huge heart and wants to help people. It helps that you are so open and honest too. Guess that's just why you are Rhoda:)

I will definately have Troy look at those websites too! He will by psyched to get some help:)

Well, off to edit! Have a good day... it's Friday!

Hi, Rho. It is me:) Thank you about Niah. She is all beauty and no brains sometimes. lol. I really love your photography, by the way. It is something my fiance is very interested in as well and trying to learn a lot about, so I have kind of have an insight as to how much talent and patience you actually have to have to take gorgeous pictures like that!!! So Glad to be talking to you again!!!!!

Oh, also, LOVE the Redneck comments!!! Those are awsome. My husband is Cajun, and we just laughed our butts off, and of course, him being from TX, you're not too far from the truth!!!

thanks Rhoda! How funny that I received a message from you. I had previously looked through your whole picture album. I don't know if I sent you a note or not, but they are beautiful pics! I love the one with the young man holding his bride in the palm of his hand!! Interesting machine too. Maybe someday I can get your feedback on that as opposed to the Elan or Stentura. Elise
