I don't think hormones are my problem. I check my blood sugar on a regular basis, diabetes runs in my family.

And always remember, my dear nomesque:

Stress kills. Other people.

*BIG HUG*

That's more like it - our saccharine psycho! Our closet cutie! Lover of kitties & their mommies!

Dunno -- my stress adrenaline is pretty high right now. I'm reading a third book by Lisa Gardner -- thriller, murder mystery, whatever you call it -- and the tension is killin me! My nerves are just thrumming with fear. I promise, my next book will be light and fluffy.

If Lisa Gardner scares you, stay far away from Mo Hayder.
She'll flat out kill you.

badgoodDeb · 06-16-2010, 08:53 PM

Trying to decide if it's Lisa Gardner, or low blood sugar. I'll keep reading and insert some calories -- see whether the tremors go away or stay there!

Mo Hayder is wicked cool scary! Her stuff is truly visceral!

Not implying blood sugar is your issue. Although my blood sugar's generally fine, too, I just used to forget to eat - a lot.

Hormones are bizarre things. They regulate everything - reproductive system, growth, regeneration, brain chemistry cocktails...

"I'll have an adrenaline martini, hold the olive or I'll shove it down your throat!"

Oh yeah... I've been up since 5:30am, and I went to bed at 11:30 pm, and got up twice in the night, so it's possible that my idea of 'humour' right now equals 'incredibly offensive'.

I read "The Treatment" and "Pig Island". Totally blew me away!

I hope you are okay, Deb.

SneakySnake · 06-17-2010, 01:45 AM

I just looked up the Treatment to buy as ebook (pig Island was great!), and it is available as epub encrypted. Does that mean I will have trouble with it if I buy? Is that like DRM that everyone hates?

the treatment

Yup, it's DRMed.

If you buy it, you'll need Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer, and your computer and PRS authorised in ADE. Make sense?

recluse · 06-17-2010, 02:18 AM

Hi, cranky nomesque!

I meant to say before that my hormone levels were checked too.

I still love you.

Want me to cheer you up? I can say really nice things about Maisy May!
And some really filthy stuff about Twilight!

Me no likey.
why can't they all be on smashwords. I buy, I download, I put on reader and read. Easy.

I just discovered I have an Adobe Account attached to my reader, as I was looking in my emails.

I don't wanna stuff around with DRMed books. There must be another way.

Hi Recluse! *MWAH!*

I'm not particularly cranky, more... umm... high on tiredness? It's like being drunk, I lose all my politeness rules. Not that I'm ever very good at polite.

Sheer curiousity - have you actually read Maisy May, or do you just know the way to my heart?

Either's fine, I'm a praise ... umm, what's the polite word? Fiend?

Preachin' to the choir, baby.

Buy Maisy May. It's DRM-free

recluse · 06-17-2010, 02:53 AM

Would I praise something without reading it just to make you feel good?
No.
If it's about teenage girls, high school and sex, I refuse to answer without my attorney present.

Yes, I read it. Not my cup of tea, but I like your writing. Okay?
