What year are you in... 1994??? 1994 - just about right, BladeD. Revenue: $232.89 billion USD (2018) That's a lot of books! Well, it was later. We got our first computer in 1995, I think. Would you believe it? It was a Danish make called Mermaid - fairly pretty and fairly advanced for its time. Unfortunately, noone seems to have taken pictures of them  I think I bought my first books from Amazon about 2000 give and take. 'Absurdistan' was one of them. Yes, I understand they have branched out .... many of my pictures have 'amazon' in their links I also know you yourself is a fan and obtains several priveleges - in fact it's a wonder their revenue is that huge with you as a shrewed bagainer, BladeD   |

Yes, sergeant stefada, SIR, instructions shall come up as soon as possible
 Good Morning Base Campers! Business As stefada reminded me, we are going on a trek to good old Denmark on April 20.We have a choice of two badges. I took the unprecedented step of letting you choose - voter participation: 0 Let's repeat: Would you like the blue one  or the red one  Chit-chat It's very cold these days in Denmark. The heat is on indoors, a large mug of cocoa is coming up as are my poor but improving Paris pavement feet - and I'm ready to finish 'Vinegar Girl' by Anne Tyler for our last 'Books in English' session of the season tomorrow Pure råhygge - raw hygge  |

We will go to Denmark  – please dress warmly and pack clothes for when the milder weather comes.Destination: Global Protection Team – less than one hour from Copenhagen City Center. Start: April 20 or when other obligations you may have allow End: April 27 with an open end to enable NixChix to secure himself the badge (red or blue) to stick on Escher-1 Badges: He-he! You get to choose! I have not given up on your active participation in this matter The blue one or the red one: the blue one the red oneBladeD, I like ’The Commodores’ – not least their shiny appearance  let’s make them our house band at the camp fire. stefada, our food should be Boeuf Bourguinon alternating with variations of Croques - monsieur, italien, any croque and for breakfast Madeleines - the Mermaid variety and croissants plus baguettes on which you put that delicious, perfectly ripenened camembert, s’il vous plait  And, of course, lots of coffee   EDIT: An exclamation mark added and correction of Bourgignon into Bourguinon [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 14, 2019 1:07:12 PM] |

BladeD, I like ’The Commodores’ – not least their shiny appearance let’s make them our house band at the camp fire. I don't think the budget is big enough to book them. |
