Here's a link to another online discount textbook store.

Or - at least there used to be in the late '50s.

Also, mid- to late-'80s, when my young uns went.

Isn't that the kind of person that we can all admire ...

...one who helps not herself but her clients to find a product that retails for $80.00 ...

marked down to *five bucks*!

Thanks, sadiesmom! I hope that Sadie appreciates your qualities - and is proud of you!

joyful - for such people: would there were more of them

As an aside, Sadie is my beloved cocker spaniel who came to us, almost miraculously from a shelter 2000 miles from my home. My kids (8 and 11) do say they are proud of me but that kind of talk is usually followed by a request for something--so only time will tell!!

Sadiesmom, aka Theresa

Is that called, "buttering up the hand that feeds you"?

When you heard that kind of talk, did your inner voice say, "Yeah, yeah - and what do you want, this time?"

Actually - sometimes the appreciation is sincere and without seeking for something tangible in return.

How much additional happiness and pleasure it would add to our society and its people if many of us expressed our thankfulness and appreciation for what others are or have done, much more often.

At a cost of a mental willingness to appreciate, a few thoughts, a few words, or just a hug, and a snippet of time.

Bargain.

And recommended some site where the claim is that folks can get good service ... a favourite ploy of spammers (especially ones that joined on the same day).

This poster renewed a thread that originated within a hair of 6 years ago ... which hadn't been updated since. .. another ploy frequently used by spammers.

This post is on topic and often one thinks that when spammers make a current post to an old thread the subject is only slightly related to the original topic.

Your call ... spam? Not spam?

Maybe I'm just a suspicious old man?

I hope that you're in the midst of a great summer weekend.

ole joyful ... who just came out of the recently expanded garden at a few minutes after 10, from watering recent transplants when he could hardly see the row.

and my thoughts on Spammers

Sheesh...

But this is a timely post, what with school starting up soon.

I raised my grandsons and they came to me with some pretty poor habits. One was 'forgetting' to bring home the textbook from school so they 'couldn't' do their homework. I solved that problem by going down to the school and getting the ISBN number off each book I expected them to need and then I ordered the book to keep at home. Usually I used Half.com or Amazon. I could get a $100 book for sometimes as little as $10. I did this all through their middle school and high school years. One of my grandsons was a destructive kid and he would mistreat his school books terribly. So it made me feel better to be able to donate the textbooks I bought at the end of the year as he was better supervised at home and didn't tear things up.

My grandmother had all kinds of sayings, and one was, "It's an ill wind that blows NO good."

I save hundreds every semester!

A bio teacher told us once she didn't care which edition we used, as the info is the same. Since then, I never pay full price for new editions. I spend about $6-12 a text. Never had a problem. Take that back. Math I needed current edition for the password to the website where we posted homework/did work. That cost me about $80 on amazon. Would have been $145 from bookstore at school.

Good luck!
