I have checked my internet connection and I was about to go into PS and Facebook is not working at all. I am about to check Myspace and Bebo to see if they are working. It may be a Facebook issue. I am getting a 'can't connect message. I tried on both ie and firefox. I am getting my profile, but none of the games appear to be working.

Since I haven't written a book review since I was a kid, I copied this from Wikipedia. Summer of My German Soldier By: Bette Greene The story focuses on Patty and an escaped German POW called Anton. Patty is unhappy about her life in the beginning of the story because of her ill-tempered father and her mother's taunting and verbal abuse. This leaves Patty believing she's a person of no importance and craving her parents' love. After German POWs visit her father's department store and she befriends one of them, Anton, who can speak English, Anton teaches her that she is a person of value. In return, she protects him by keeping him in the hidden rooms above her father's garage, without her family's knowledge. While they are together, Anton recounts his life before the war, including his family and hometown in Göttingen. Anton leaves Patty, and embarks on a journey back to his home in Germany. While I loved this book, and it somehow reflected my interest in German culture (my husband is German), the ending of the story was a letdown to the overall premise and idea of it. The sequel did absolutely nothing for me, and so instead of pondering the 'why's' and 'why not's' of the author's premise, I wrote an alternate universe story about these characters more than a decade later. Alternate Universe is basically a story that does not coincide with the original plot. Regardless of my not so positive feelings about the original book, it still remains one of my very favorite novels. Ironically, it was written in first person and is the only novel I have ever read that I actually liked with the use of 'I' and 'me' in the writing.

awww sorry about your pain, stankbot. That does not sound pleasant at all. I had one of my teeth pulled back in october, and I was in so much pain. It was hot and cold sensitive...So not fun. Anyway, today I really have to get my housework done. This place looks like a pig sty. So, I will be getting the vacuum cleaner out and then I will put together a couple of teddy bears. One I will post a picture of because it really looks like a PS pet. I hope to get a dress made for it too so that it will look like Tiddly Winks.

I have been thinking about posting something about writing, whether amateur (fan fiction and the like) or professional (books, novels, etc). I am a writer by trade and have written countless stories, as well as a novel which I hope to edit and get published one fine day. So, does anyone write here? If so, what do you write? Are you registered at any amateur or professional writer's sites? (Remember that no links are allowed, but pen names can be shared) Let's talk about it.
