Not a fan of Michael Moore or Al Gore, but would be happy to see them both in heaven...!

1.) I like The Road Not Taken for a title.

2.) Michael Moore. Hold my hair back while I puke. [Big Grin]

3.) Al Bore, I mean Gore...I haven't heard anything about his work yet so no comment. Sounds like a needed topic though.

If you need an editor, I have a wonderful one. You can private message me (I engaged it again) for info on her. My publisher was so impressed with how clean my manuscript was and that's mostly her doing.

Don't give up on getting published. It can take a long time. Just keep believing.

When referring to Gore and Moore above and saying they could 'BOTH' go to, well you know, I assumed everyone would know I meant THEM, not their fan club...really ladies are you just looking for things to challenge me on?

Hannelore, I am an avid supported of global warming. Its the man himself I don't care for, I have met him personally, hes acted the fool too often and has been caught in too many lies but this is one area, global warming he has done his homework on and for that I say bravo....

Micheal Moore is something else again, just haven't figured out yet, what? I'd give my opinion but perish the thought, someone might take it personal....

I like RUN MELANIE RUN and HALF MOON SHADOWS. Tough choice.

How did Gore and Moore get in here. I was going to get in on it, but after reading your posts I got scared.

Hannelore,

I really like "Run Melanie Run", there is a certain aura about that title. I say this based on what I know thus far. I want to mention that bookcovers catch my attention instantly, together with the title. I love the cover of "David's Bridge"

Where in Germany do you live? I lived in Heidelberg 17 years. I miss the architecture and scenery there. Oh and the restaurants too. Oh okay, I miss the pubs too. Oh and I miss going to the cafes. I better stop before I get too nostalgic.

Cheers or should I say prost(SP),
Cathi

Guten Tag Optimumsteps !
Heidelberg is a very charming city. It's the nicest university city in Germany…I've been to those Café's…yummy strawberry cake. I live in Bavaria, near Muenich; about an hour away from the Bavarian Alps. It's so beautiful, especially now. The fields are in full bloom…full of red poppy, white daisies and blue cornflowers. 17 years in Heidleberg is a long time. Were you or your husband stationed there?
I had so many military friends in Augsburg; but they've closed down all the U.S. bases, and sent over 4000 U.S. soldiers home.
"Run Melanie Run" fits better to my story; but then I thought people might think it's about a jogging lady…It's actually a story about a woman fleeing from different situations. Thanks a lot for your vote, Cathi.
Thanks you too, Saundra. Maybe I'll just wait to see what my editor suggests…because I'm just plain undecided.
Aufwiedersehn

Chatty Lady,
I agree…it's good to agree to disagree. It's hard, but it's important to separate issues from the people that convey them.

Ladies,
Please tell us more about Germany living. I think it is fastinating hearing about it, and you've given some delightful descriptions of the area, food, etc. I would love to hear more about the German people there. Also, what do you feel were/are some of the "cons" about living there.

Cathi, would you want to go back and live there? I stayed in Edinburgh, Scotland for a bit and fell in love with the town and the people. I've always thought I would love to live there for about a year.

Anybody else ever lived abroad? I love hearing about it!

JJ

I would love to travel through all of Italy, seeing, smelling and tasting the food. I have relatives there and my Aunt and cousins have been there several times. Alas however I suppose I'll only see it in travel brochures.....

Here in Vegas we celebrate "Octoberfest" and the Casinos doing this invite and house a famous German chef who'll cook for the weeks celebration and honestly the food is authentic and to die for. I have gained a pound or two I can tell you.
