I don't remember any of that about Wendy's place, and it doesn't describe where I live. What I remember is that we went in and stuff was everywhere on the floor. Clothes were two layers deep around the bed. I said something a little critical or questioning and you said they were both like that and got along well with it. Its strange that I don't remember what sounds like a beautiful place to live, but I do remember the chaos inside. My apt. is something of chaos because I have moved several times since 1993 and with each move I never quite unpacked from the last one. I finally bought and put up several large size bookcases because books were stacked everywhere. Books are still stacked everywhere.

Thank you very much for the lead on Turkle. I'm virtually convinced she is Stud's daughter. I got on line to the ALICAT, which is the Alabama Library Catalog for all libraries who contribute. The State library right across the street from my home has a copy of Turkle's book. I faxed a loan request to them because we have an account here. I can pick the book up this week. I can't do it tonight because I go straight to class. Ditto on spending for books. I don't spend 100's, but I spend in the 40's and 50's. I have had to curtail somewhat because of law school expense (6000 a yr.) and also my upcoming taxes, for which I'm in bad shape, unless I do a large IRA last minute deposit. I play the libraries pretty well. For 25/yr I have a guest card at AUM--Auburn at Montgomery University of Library. When I get an overwhelming desire to know about something I go out there and check out a stack of books. That helps a lot because my overwhelming desires to know about stuff go through rapid changes (would you like a discount on some books on vipassana--insight meditation--I have several).

I read and printed out the reviews of Turkle’s books. Do that tomorrow if you get a chance. The reviews are really good. Also I printed out the review she wrote of the book ABOUT Melanie Klein. She is a psychologist I have a lot of interest in because some of her things about object relations have helped me with my F of O patterns. Its quitting time. This HM is funky as----whatever--slow to respond and I keep getting server errors. Let me get this off while its still cooperating. Tomorrow.
