Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / May 2006OTP thanks
Its about vets.... On average we are loosing 2000 a day from the second world war. These men and women were the quiet ones. You could not get one to even talk about what they went through. If we had lost or thrown away that war,,, we would be living in a very different world. Harv http://www.managed.com/beforeyougo.html turn your speakers on Harv, my 'puter says it can't find that page. I know what you mean about not talking about experiences. Grayson was on ship in Tokyo Bay but wouldn't talk about what happened there. However, if you awakened him suddenly he would have the most startled, afraid look on his face. He said if I had been through what he had, I would also. That's all he would say. He didn't go overseas during the Korean conflict, thank goodness. Gwen > Its about vets....

Sorry,,,, the email I got that from is gone. Harv harv, i recently turned in a book proposal (novel) about an elderly man and woman who served in WWII. it was rejected because "no one wants to read about old people or WWII." i still want to write the book, but can't without a publisher. diane > i recently turned in a book proposal (novel) about an elderly man and >woman who served in WWII. it was rejected because "no one wants to read >about old people or WWII." i still want to write the book, but can't >without a publisher. what a crock, Diane, people want to read about all kinds of things. Do you have an agent working on this? --- Joan > harv, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > diane Why don't you write it and do it as an ebook? Put it on a website and on Amazon.com and people can pay and download it. It is then their option to read it on their screen or print it out :) I think authors are going to have to do what musicians are doing now and take things into their own hands :-) Carole I read ebooks on my palm pilot all the time. The palm is always with me, so it is perfect for doctor appointments or eating in a restaurant alone. The palm is lighted so I can read at night without a lamp on and not wake up John. And my palm is not heavy which can bother my hands plus I don't have to annoy my thumbs trying to hold a book open. All good things for an arthritic reader.

But I know nothing of Palm Pilots or the place you get them. I also have a great deal of trouble with my thumbs. >I read ebooks on my palm pilot all the time.

My first one was a Sony that just wore out and Sony no longer makes a palm. I bought the Sony because it was the thinnest and fit my little fist. If you go looking at them, pick them up and be sure they fit your hand. Be sure to hold those safety cords to take off the tension stores have things locked down with as it seems to make the palm really really heavy and they are mostly not. Now if you get a palm that is also a camera and a phone and a dishwasher and a living room sofa -- then you can expect the thing to way quite a bit. lol Duckie > Duckie, would you mind telling me how you get the books into your palm pilot > I know how you said you got them.

Years later,,,,, 1947,48,,, I would wake up in the middle of the night and would hear my dads friend screaming at the top of his voice with nightmares about a half mile down the road where we lived. I knew from that there is a heavy price to pay in being at war even if you live past the war itself. It was many years later when I learned that it is far more costly to loose a war. Millions of people were slaughtered when we pulled out of V.Nam. Who cried for them, marched for them,,,, none in the USA. We have a very different kind of war today and it is going to go on and on and on. The people involved with ww2 were made out of sterner stuff and clear lines were drawn on who and what the enemy was. Not so today and it looks as though Sep. 11 was not enough to make this a true war and maybe that is a good thing. Every war still has our troops in the country where it took place. I want them all to come home and live their lives and not end up like the neighbor of ours in 1948. Harv |
