Bonnie, The author of "Talk to Me Like I'm someone you love" has a site. [link]

Maybe she has more functional version available, or could sell you an e-version that would let you print them as you like. (Any office supply and many big box stores will have light card that you can print on with a home printer.)

Hmm, I found this on Yahoo answers

Manufacturers are allowed to label their products zero calories if they contain less than 5 calories.

And for some things, the serving sizes can be much smaller than you plan to eat, so "zero" calories can be very much not zero. That said, it's not a lot of calories.

Now I want olives.

Sunscreen, blotting papers, band-aids for any walking blisters, sunglasses, a foldable grocery bag thingie for a beach tote, trashy magazines.

CASH. Tylenol. Tea bags, if you're a tea drinker in the morning and you're staying at a hotel.

Lip balm.

Where did I put my camera? (Or, well, the camera I want to bring. I can find several other cameras.)

Things which are not my camera but are sitting in places where I might have put my camera: Wii remote, Rubik's cube, calculator, box of checks, several mystery chargers. No camera.

Thanks for the link, Typo. I scoured the site and am honestly aghast that a money making opportunity has been so thoroughly wasted.

I can envision exactly how I would want this product configured so that I could use it with couples and individuals quickly and with great impact. But no. The only thing the author sells beyond the actual book is a couple of truly useless, overpriced and wrongly branded posters!

One part of me wants to write to the author. Dear Madam, you have a genius idea here. A really well thought out and useful concept that is so poorly executed, you are losing roughly 600% of its earning potential. Poor you.

In the meanwhile, I still need to figure out what to do to make it useful for me. Photocopying on card stock is going to be hella expensive. Not to mention, time consuming.

Have fun, Hil!

Erin, I'm so glad you are getting some sleep.

A stray pit bull wandered onto our job site today, very friendly. I improvised a leash, got him food and water. One of the trainees was going to take him home, but the girlfriend said no. So I ended up turning him into a shelter. Male un-neutered pit bull, obviously lived mostly outside, no chip. He's so getting euthanized. The local pit rescue org is overwhelmed. God, I don't know how people work with rescues or animal control. I've been crying on and off since I got home. If it had been anything but a pit, I'd probably have taken him home. I named him and nearly trained him to sit by the end of the day.

I'm also PMSing and forgot my AD pill at home today, so.

Time for shower, valium, and bed.

bonny, how about this. Rip the pages that you need out of the book. (cringe) Photocopy only the pages that are the backs of other pages such that they are useless. Get a glue stick and a pack of card stock, and glue the pages onto the cards where you want them. Cost, a few pages of copying, glue, and card stock, and a couple hours of time.

caveat, I like to glue things.

Found the camera! (In, um, the drawer where I've always kept it. But I haven't used this camera in a while, and I forgot that that's where I keep it.)
