Today is international surprise day for me. First, my Feb. 9 blog on the Grand Slam breakfast give-away was translated and published by Irene Voulgaris (a Greek writer with her own blog: www-voulgari.blogspot.com). Then Egyptian novelist, Zahra Youssry, asked to be my facebook friend. Both women found me through scribd. How cool is that!

Hello luddite! You know what? I think we all should become "luddites", leave big cities and go back to the countryside to cultivate some vegetables, get some hens with real chicks and ducks and try to live in the simple way our ancestors lived. Then, we wouldn't depend on food coupons or "social security" etc. Irene Voulgaris (www.scribd.com/Eιρήνη Βούλγαρη) on scribd

I was once told that love is a verb. It is action. And your poem shows in lovely, concrete detail both the action, and the caring heart from which the action springs. I'm glad I had a chance to read your work. Thanks.

We're watching (guess what) the Super Bowl. I can't believe the sexist commercials. Have we suddenly been transplanted to the early 1960s? What's with all that?

I'm watching too. Most of the ads are either meanspirited or sexist or both. Ugh!

Dear Scribd Mates, I'm doing a bit of scribd research and invite you to be part of it. If you'd like to tell me 1. how you learned about scribd and when, 2. why and how you got started with scribd, 3. what has come of your scribd involvement, etc. I would be most grateful. I've set up an email account just to hear your stories: thescribdluddite@gmail.com I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
