I thought that was pretty cool, particularly because she told me about it.<br /><br />In a bizarre twist on the same theme, this website http://www.tablesoft.com/Tablecloth/Green-Table-Drape/<br />poached my Day 146 post and is using it as part of an ad for tablecloths after running the original English through a surreal translator program.Burning Khromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515602150819068052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823425106728311077.post-54253079733048620912011-01-04T01:36:48.273-06:002011-01-04T01:36:48.273-06:00Sounds interesting.

They tend to notice more opportunities and take more chances.<br /><br />I also found the site Smashwords. It is a site that handles the ecommerce for authors that want to self publish ebooks. I found some interesting titles. You can get some coupon ytpe codes for free books on the B&N Nookbooks forum. www.nookboards.com<br /><br />(Sorry for the single quote marks, it doesn't seem to work to italicize in comments)Kim Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436222011109197761noreply@blogger.com
