You can tell by that photo that I took my comic books seriously. <br /><br />Jo, I'm glad you mentioned the video, because I really enjoyed it, too. Thanks for your kind words about Butch. It's hard watching our pets get old and knowing their days are numbered. I hope your cat stays well and keeps you company far longer than you expect.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-25540442967721415542012-02-14T13:34:04.367-06:002012-02-14T13:34:04.367-06:00The Peter Gabriel video was so touching.

Sorry to hear about your loss of Butch - I have an elderly cat, who I love dearly and can hardly bear to think about the day... Our companion animals weren't made to last as long as we were, more's the pity, but we give them a full and happy life while they are with us, and revel in each other's company.Jo Grahamhttp://imagespast.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-44556606076434024312012-02-13T18:01:04.811-06:002012-02-13T18:01:04.811-06:00I didn't think your post was flippant at all a...I didn't think your post was flippant at all and I love that first photo of you reading on the couch.Kristinhttp://findingeliza.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-30530412463393265452012-02-13T07:01:14.592-06:002012-02-13T07:01:14.592-06:00Thanks for visiting, Margaret.

Unfortunately, I had so many books that I was beginning to feel claustrophobic. Even if they'd been bags of money instead of books, I'd have had to get rid of some of them. It took a long time before I reached a point where I was able to do it, though.<br /><br />Viridian, thank you for your condolences. Butch was a wonderful dog.<br /><br />Joy, thanks for letting me know about librarything.com. I'll check it out today.<br /><br />Bob, well, if you had grabbed some of those books you might have put them right back. The stack in the fake-sepia photo contained some books from the '80s which included Linda Goodman's "Love Signs" and an autobiography of Delta Burke. Those were among the books I have since given away.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-18498219971724081492012-02-11T13:01:27.498-06:002012-02-11T13:01:27.498-06:00So sorry that you have lost Butch.

My books are all over the place-I wish I had a big bookcase so I'd have them all in one place.
