What are you reading?
 

My husband was sitting reading his newspaper a few days ago whilst I was busy rummaging through these!....

Brain cooling, heat intolerance and cranial veins

CNS fatigue provoked by prolonged exercise in the heat

Brain temperature and exercise performance

I´m now also looking for some more good books to curl up with by the fire and get through the long cold winter months that we have here.

Are you reading something good?

Hi Anacrusis
 

What are your interests? If you have any interest in Science, please consider
Physics Of The Universe by Michio Kaku, some really facinating future things. I am a book worm, no quesion about it. Send me what your favorites are. "State of Wonder" was my favorite so far this year, by Ann Patchett. Hope to hear from you. ginnie:hug:

I spend hours on my computer working on Family history. I enjoy the old photos the most. Second helping others find their "cousins".

Hi Ping pong man
 

I read with interest that you like doing family history. Is there any chance you could help me? I am adopted. Laws are not retroactive, and I was always told I had to go to court for my adoption history. I know my mothers real name, and the location of my birth, little else. I was not ever told the medical situation of my family, nor anything about possible sibblings. My folks that adopted me, never prevented me from trying to find out. It was the cost of going to court. If you can't, or don't care to, I certainly understand. I have always held out hope, that someday I would find out the truth. ginnie:hug:

Send me a PM with what details you know. You can't give me too many details. I'll see what I can find.
Mike

Good post, Anacrusis. I'm currently reading my eyelids.

When I can read - though not usually books because holding them is difficult and printer's ink makes me sneeze - I'm like you. Anything historical, science-related or, well, pretty much anything that I can learn about the world. My most recent book was, "The Source Field Investigations" by David Wilcock. Just the chapter about research on plants being hooked up to polygraph machines to see if they elicit an emotional response was worth the price of the book.

Be cautious of Ancestry.com because they will fool you into believing you are having a one-month only subscription but then keep charging you month after month. You literally have to cancel before the end of that first month to not be charged!

Ginnie, I'm sorry you don't know where your ancestors are from. I don't know the laws in the state you're in but there must be a way you can get your adoption records! I'll bet a lawyer - even a pro bono one - could get them for you! BTW, I like Michio Kaku too!

Annie

Thanks Pingpongman
 

I will dig out my adoption records tomorrow. I appreciate you even taking a look at it. I am 61, and my chances that my mom is still on earth...well you know the issue. Never too late to try. Thank you ever so much for even considering this. ginnie:hug:

Hi Anne
 

It was always due to lack of money. I was never in my birth state all that much. Private adoption agiencies are very hard to deal with. Pro bono, very hard to get, as most of the agiencies are broke, I tried with other issues. Went to this adoption agency when my daughter was born with birth defects. My son also has health issues as do I. From just a medical point of view, I wanted to know all these years. I will keep hope alive with pingpongman, God bless him just for trying....ginnie:hug:

So excited to have these. I am SO glad I did not write down my preferences, Ginnie as I would have limited myself to my normal parameters in reading. I´m a tabula rasa person really. I´m so excited to listen to Kaku and I´ve been down the Amazon so already have a little connection there. I´m wishing you the best of luck with your really BIG questions :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

That is truly fascinating, Pingpongman! I hope you only got good surprises. A teacher who was extremely posh and always picked on me presumed she was related to royalty but they later traced her immediate ancestors to being sheep stealers. I heard all our records were destroyed in the 2nd world war, otherwise I would have been on it already :laptop:

Hi Annie – I don´t have enough eye problems or sensitivities to not make me read books but it is interesting to hear how other manage too, for example Stellatum´s post about Kindle´s etc. I only have minor problems reading on computer I get motion sickness and some tracking issues but otherwise I have no excuse! I will definitely get that book by Wilcock , go straight to that chapter and see if there´s a valid reason for me to continue talking to my plants :wink: Hey! hope you are feeling better...:)

David's book is so jammed pack full of research. It's amazing how much we don't know about our world and universe. If you have an open mind, you'll love it. Left-brained, controlling individuals might pooh-pooh everything in the book and call it "pseudo science." ;) I was going to go to a conference he's having this weekend but my MG had other plans.
