His family happened to live in Montana; about 100 miles from where we lived. He/sister were homeschooled; brillant young man, graduated high school age 15; too young to go to college; mom says find something to do until you go to college; he writes a book and they start marketing it.<BR/><BR/>He goes to local libraries, bookshops; dresses up like a minstrel from that time, tights, cute costume. draws a picture of the character Eragon, does a talk about the book; lots of people buy the book; autographed copies, you name it.<BR/><BR/>book goes on to be very popular and bought by Doubleday I think (or one of them; mass production)<BR/><BR/>original autographed copy of book he had published as a beginning writer sells on eBay for $5000<BR/><BR/>my daughter and me went to a talk he did at the library before he was famous; we bought an autographed copy he personally autographed with her name. she reads half the book but decides she doesn't like it; I'm getting rid of some things from her room and I throw the book away, never realizing he would do well and never realizing the book might be worth something down the line.<BR/><BR/>true story....<BR/><BR/>I'll keep your autographed one; you never know!!<BR/><BR/>bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-70971212211351560142008-10-25T22:46:00.000-04:002008-10-25T22:46:00.000-04:00Hi Jack, I went to my scanners website and was abl...Hi Jack, I went to my scanners website and was able to download a driver that made it work with Vista. Maybe you'll be able to find one.

Well, it's not. The only thing I've been able to use it for is to make copies of important things at the shop. I almost know it wouldn't work with Vista either because I bought it right before Vista came out. Probably the reason I got it so cheap, lol. These companies know what they are doing to keep their customers coming back for new products.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039342776866311508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-37515578004295267672008-10-25T21:54:00.000-04:002008-10-25T21:54:00.000-04:00My brother in law drinks apple cider vinegar every...My brother in law drinks apple cider vinegar every day because it's suppose to help with your health. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! I don't see how anyone drinks that stuff, lol.<BR/>If I had written a book I would have telling people too. It would be kinda hard to keep that excitement to yourself for so long.<BR/>Love the redneck jokes, hahaha.<BR/>Hope you and Sherry are having a nice weekend!<BR/>Debbie<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm really stumped on how to solve the problem with Shirl's journal. I did read she isn't the only one having this problem after changing to the embedded post at bottom for comments but her latest entry has no place to comment at all.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039342776866311508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-21448864885072200302008-10-25T20:14:00.000-04:002008-10-25T20:14:00.000-04:00Jack, I took the AOL quiz this week and the econom...Jack, I took the AOL quiz this week and the economy is so tough in Maine that LOBSTER is selling for the same price as a pound of bologna.<BR/>($3.99) Makes me want to check out the price here in OKEE!
