ArchivesNot A Love For Research...
in reply to a message by Tracie
Tracie
I LOVE to read. I've started reading books that are @500 pages long and not stopped until I've finished the book. When it comes to research, I have to have a topic that intrigues me or somebody else must get me interested in the subject (either that or s/he has to challenge my "sense of adventure" i.e. rein me in).
Ah, sometimes what I'd give for a less inquiring mind (NO. NOT THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER).

PS Sorry for the tirade on the Enquirer.

Phyllis,
Ya gotta have some respect for a rag that always got the advance season plots of "Dallas" (one of my former major weaknesses) right and broke the stories on the separate ex-officio philanderings of the Rev. Jesse James and Rosie O. (not that the LATTER was any surprise).
-- Da.

Too funny. I can't stop until I'm done either. I have even fixed entire meals without setting a book down. My husband hates it. He gets a little bit of the ackowledgement nods and "uh-huh's" and "yeah's". It drives him nuts. I don't mind research if it is my own but I hate assignments because it isn't voluntary I guess. Don't worry I hate gossip magazines(Can anyone really be that stupid?)I know what you mean about wanting a less inquiring mind though. What I would give to be normal like everyone else in my life and actually enjoy the same things they do. Hey, what if they are the ones that are not normal?

#1. Who said anything about fixing meals while reading. I SKIP MEALS while reading.
#2. DON'T I WISH (concerning everyone else in our lives). I've been asked to research whatever questions come up in my house from "What causes diaper rash?" to "What causes violent behavior in dementia?" :pppp (I still think that the parents of a child should be the one to discuss certain aspects of life, not the aunt.)
Many blessings in your studies
