Awful...reminds me of the time I took Jonathan to the nursery at my parents' church and there were three teens there who announced when I entered the room "We don't do poopy diapers." Oh. Well, great. Turns out I had to stay there with Jonathan for awhile and -- you guessed it -- a poopy diaper occurred. Guess who changed it. Right again!<BR/>As for the author -- I've had similar experiences, which is why I am in newspapers -- writing stuff people put on the bottom of their bird cages. Stuff peoples' animals crap on in other words.Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-80370597569731100762008-03-06T08:35:00.000-08:002008-03-06T08:35:00.000-08:00Hi Jen - thanks for the prayers for our baby - we ...Hi Jen - thanks for the prayers for our baby - we hare hoping for the best, obviously, and we appreciate all the prayers!

So if you want to "publish" a cookbook for your charity group, or you want to "publish" a book on your family history to distribute at your next family reunion, that's the way to go. If you want people to BUY your book...run the other way.<BR/><BR/>I dream of having a book published someday too. There are lots of ways to make contacts online. Don't give up!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how horrifying was that "child care" situation?
