Interregnum....

Dear friends and readers,
I will be away for a couple of weeks; hence I will not be able to reply to your comments. Nevertheless, the doors to this blog will be open to you so, please, make yourself at home while I'm gone.
I'll see you when I get back!

2 Tags: Page 161 & If I were...

Tuesday, 18 March 2008


Cidão tagged me for two most interesting memes!

The first consists of selecting a book, opening it on page 161 and choosing a complete sentence (it doesn't have to be the most beautiful one).

I selected "Management" by Hellriegel & Slocum, "Cost cutting may involve closing plants or eliminating the provision of services at unprofitable locations, laying off employees, reducing levels of management, and automating."



I would like to tag LS, Anna, Hanna

A chaise longue is a long chair, like the ones the Romans and Greek used to use to eat...can you visualise it now?

Zhu 21 March 2008 17:45  

"Chaise-longue" is hard to translate, indeed! But comfortable though ;-)

Interesting tag. I would imagine you read novels and not a management book. Surprising girl!

Liza 21 March 2008 18:01  

hi max! wishing you a great weekend and a happy easter.

Max 21 March 2008 18:40  

Hey Zhu, my girl :)!

Chaise-longue is incredibly comfortable: one of the best inventions ;)!

LOL I read many different books, dear...but novels have a special place in my heart, I confess lol :)!

Thanks, darling!

Cheers

Max 21 March 2008 18:42  

Hey Liza,

Thank you, dear! I am not Christian, however my catholic mom takes Easter very seriously; so I will pass on the message to her :D!

Have yourself a Merry Easter :)!

Cheers

Anna 22 March 2008 02:20  

Hey Max, thanks for the tag, I am accepting, and may be I will play the second one too. You know the funny thing is your first two answers, would be probably my first answers too, I was married on June 6th. And I absolutely love this answer 'If I were a sentence I'd be... "There are four magical tools: to know, to will, to dare, to silence". You are the best Max, Anna :)

Max 24 March 2008 15:41  

Hey Anna,

Feeling better, darling :)?

"Max, thanks for the tag, I am accepting, and may be I will play the second one too." - you are welcome, Anna *bowing*! I just thought that you would like it :).

"You know the funny thing is your first two answers, would be probably my first answers too, I was married on June 6th." - now that is what I call synchronisation :D!

"And I absolutely love this answer 'If I were a sentence I'd be... "There are four magical tools: to know, to will, to dare, to silence". You are the best Max" - thank you, dear *bowing*!

Have fun doing this; and thanks for accepting the tag :D!

Cheers

Anna 25 March 2008 15:12  

Hi Max, finally today I was able to get through all night with out waking up, that hot lemon water with honey, and sniffing boiling water vapour did help. I don't like taking medication at all, I guess I had to suffer a bit extra, lol.

Wow Max, I like that, synchronization, good choice of word.

Thanks Max for all again, Anna :)

Max 25 March 2008 21:26  

Hi Anna!

"finally today I was able to get through all night with out waking up, that hot lemon water with honey, and sniffing boiling water vapour did help." - those are great news!!!! You are getting better, girl :D!

"I don't like taking medication at all, I guess I had to suffer a bit extra, lol" - how I do understand you: I don't take medication either (as I told you before I hate chemicals). It is worth it though...your body will appreciate it :D!

"Wow Max, I like that, synchronization, good choice of word." - thank you, darling...you are always so kind *bowing*!

You are most welcome, Anna :D! Have I told you that I just love our conversations :)?

Cheers

Cidão 26 March 2008 22:22
