Hi, Linda! Good seeing you, here. Did you forget to sign your post, too!

Doctor S., to you!

I'm in but I seem to be having some trouble following the messages. I will figure this out before the book discussion but is there a simple way to find responses to messages that you post? I've gotten emails that I have responses but the link takes me to the general discussion area and I'm not finding all of the responses, although I have found some of them.
I don't usually have such a struggle with message boards I've used but they were always limited to a dozen or so members so maybe it's just the volume.
Thanks for you help and, if you respond and I don't get back to you it's probably because I haven't cracked the code of finding these messages yet but I'm happy to be involved and I'll keep trying.

Donna, if you get this message
, try putting this discussion group [or thread] in your bookmarks....[Pull down thread options] then you can simply see at a glance, your personal view, if new posts have been created, and then you click it....it brings you right there. How you view your pages, depends on how you've set it up. Threaded works for me, with current posts showing first.IMPORTANT: Make sure you take all of these NEW LITTLE FOLDERS: HEADER TOPICS, and use the arrow on the right side - click on it to float these folders to the top of this page. That way you can see at a glance what threads are open with new posts, or if the folder is closed, nothing new is there. You just click on the folder, and BINGO, the thread is open.....
BUT...There will be a lot of folders created in these discussions, and you definitely don't want one to slip down into another page. You'll have to hunt for it, then. The discussion will go for pages, believe me. It does take some time to figure out, but it will come easy with practice.
AND if you ever have problems, OR QUESTIONS, once the discussion starts: Just click on the moderator's name, or one of the editors, or administrators' names, and you will see [UNDER THEIR NAME] where you can send them a private message(as with any one of us)....I hope this helps.

I'm Melissa (R-mod for the LbW board). This looks like a great book, so I hope I'll have more time to participate for this go-round
Hi!!
I'm Lisa and a newcomer to the boards. I feel very lucky to have been chosen to be with you all so I promise to be a good contributer! I absolutely love to read though finding the time to satisfy this interest seems to be a constant challenge. I currently belong to a neighborhood bookclub that is filled with wonderful people but yet we never seem to talk about the books themselves too much. (!!!) It's a shame because previously I lived in Houston and was involved in a diverse reading group that could discuss a book for hours. The Houston based group was my first book club and I think I was spoiled because I always came home feeling very enriched with others' insights and thoughts. SOOOOOO, that's what led me here to these boards searching for others like me who wanted to just sit, talk and listen.
What brought you all here? I need to go back and read this thread from the beginning but I wanted to quickly say "Hello!" while I had the chance (before dinner, children fighting screaming over baths, homework and such....... )
Here's to a great new group of friends!
Lisa

Lisa, welcome to the world of books, discussions, and down to earth goings on.....
After the kids are fed and watered; and who or whatever else's needs are met, come and join the multitudes, who can entertain you on a daily basis, here on the Barnes and Nobles' Book Club! You want depth? It's here...take my word for it. I don't know how deep I can get, but I'm the spokes-person for mind bending.
(or twisted, some might say - Kevin, I know you're reading this!)I'm looking forward to your participation, whenever, and wherever, you can join in.

Now Silly Kathy S., I never sign at the bottom, too many people know my first name in here as it is! Just kidding! No, I really want to see how many people know my name!

Hi everyone,
I'm excited to be a part of this book discussion! I am an engineer at a small renewable energy company. I enjoy yoga, dancing esp belly dancing, cats (I won't tell you how many I have), and of course books! I am part of an in-person book club, but it's the type that gets side-tracked and tends to discuss everything but the book, so I look forward to some in-depth discussion about this book.
Hi Lindsay,
It took me awhile to figure out esp belly dancing. Was it some mind, body, telepathic dance? But then I realized you probably were saying especially belly dancing.
Anyway, welcome to the group.

now I know I missed something in the storm. ESP belly dancing?? LOLOL. Oh could I think of someone I would love to telepathically dance with me, not necessarily a belly dance tho
