Meryl's Notes Blog

Today’s entry is a hodgepodge of stuff I found or experienced this week.

This slideshow displays the 10 most expensive books in 2006. Note these are old books not books published in 2006.

An entire book comes from text messaging. Though it’s ez 2 read txt msgs, but 2 read 100s of pgs in txt msg-speak? Hard on the I’s.

Teachers are noticing a trend … students using txt msg-speak in papers. Ouch.

Snail Mail

I’m preparing for a major family event and that meant sending invitations with RSVP response cards. A friend of mine who lives the next neighborhood over from me said she sent hers in January. I never received it… until yesterday, February 15. The envelope itself was postmarked February 1. Talk about snail mail.

Another friend who also lives within a couple of miles from me sent her response that I have yet to receive. We’re paying 39 cents to never receive our response cards?

I also received an organization’s newsletter after some events have occurred. They sent it to me at least two weeks before these events.
