Groups...social events...ugh. That is just the way I am. I manage, but I prefer solitude as well. I have thru my life tried to stretch in those area and change who I am, but in these years after having cancer and kids I have decided not to push myself to be what everyone else is, but just to be me, who I am. Still, I look at people having fun together and wonder why it doesn't work for me and still have that longing, but it is all ok now. I think I am an introvert even though I put on a good face. I live in an extrovert's world. I kinda think that the extrovert's world is what exist because as an introvert, I'd prefer a cave to a world. I think that is why I like my time with the Amish. Nothing is ever said that makes me feel on edge. When one is a pastor's wife, there is almost always something said. I don't think on purpose for the most part, but there is always a problem to fix or something put on my plate that really, I don't have control over. So, I have rambled. I remember rafting trips. But they were more like tire inner-tube floats down the Guadalupe River and rapids were far and few in between.
Jon is sick now. Scott finally got well on Thurs and Jon began a fever on Saturday so I am being nurse again this week. Jeff has been in China for a week with some travel to Texas on both ends. He will be home this morning. I had hoped to go back thru the book, but the sick kids decided we should watch cupcake wars and since we don't have pay TV the reruns on my notebook became the center of attention. So, I am returning the book this morning. I remembered this time to update the table of contents. I didn't take a good look at the Index page, but other than that I have gone thru paragraph by paragraph as you have seen the modifications I have made on your forum.
The only thing that I think I have left undone is at the top of page 133. The words are highlighted in yellow and still have to do with "not for unlimited profit." You had given me some suggested words, but I am going to leave it up to you as to which words to put in because my thick head is not wrapping around the concept so well. Not the concept of the bank. I think I understand that well enough, but the concept of the words associated and explaining the bank. (And I would also like to say, I don't personally care for the government cap on profit. I would prefer a free market where the government keeps its fat nose out of things (I realize I am speaking of the government as a thing doing action, I am using the single word government to cover whatever list of people exists at whatever time who would manage such things.) I think when government begins to set caps, they then need a band of enforcers to ensure the caps are met which then spirals out of control as criminals are instinctively drawn to that system and would begin to corrupt it. I think as Steven Pearl Andrews spoke that all things should be individual and as simple as possible, I think that was the jist of his words in Science of Society (if I even remember the correct name of his publication, but it is the one where he speaks of groups breaking down smaller and smaller and smaller and used Martin Luther as an example).
But, I am getting off into a discussion that I wasn't trying to start. I am just saying that I want you to insert whatever words you want on page 133. I think everything else is done. However, I did not go back thru to check on combining words into single words and Jeff will be home today and I want to concentrate on on home things for awhile, so I am sending you the book.
If you want, I can still read the book and send you words that I think need to be joined if I come across any. But as for now....Joe Quotes is in your court!
I remember you mentioning the $100 book sale with each person then reducing the price by $10. I never answered because I think it is hard to pry $100 out of anyone and so is $90 and so is $80 and so is $70 etc, and putting the camel on the back of the buyer to resell the book to recoup their money at a charge of $10 for reading the book and reselling it. I am not a sales person and I don't like to ask anyone to do anything for me so I wouldn't do it that way. I am the type of person that would buy $10 books for $100 at $10 a piece and then give the books away...because that is easier on my psychi ( don't know how to spell that word right now).
I will send an email now with the book attacked. Just let me know if you still want me to read and send you changes to make as described above and also let me know that you know you need to look at page 133.
It is nice to get out into nature even if it includes a group
I still want to move on some acreage so that I can be in nature without the group I want the boys to run and explore without a meth house on the corner...even though it has now been abandoned and all the furniture is strewn around the front yard...it will be easy enough for the boys to find a meth house on their own, which I hope never happens to them....as if it happens to someone...it is more like someone makes it happen to themselves when choices are made.
