Hi Lissi!The semester is over, and so is my undergrad education. I now have a B.A. in English and music. I think I will start on Charlotte after I finish with this one. Hugs!

Dear Allison,Carrie scanned Carpenter and a volunteer has almost finished validating it but has been brought to a hopefully short halt by the Computer In The Shop syndrome. thanks for offering.If you have Charlotte Church, you could scan her or surprise us!I hope your semester was a good one and that you're in fine voice and fine spirits!Always with love, Lissi----- Original Message ----- From: "Allison Mervis" <allisonfm@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 6:55 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: TolkienDid anyone get around to scanning the Carpenter biography of Tolkien? I've got a lot more time now if you'd like me to do it. I can start it as soon as I finish scanning a Dangerous love by Bertrice Small. I'm about a hundred pages in, and I'd like to have it edited and submitted by the end of the week, which means I could start working on Carpenter on Saturday or Sunday.Allison----- Original Message ----- From: "Estelnalissi" <airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 6:09 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: TolkienDear Cindy,Yes, I've found The Book of Lost Tales, Volume 1, and am back on track. I'm on page 279 with only 16 pages to go. It's all index, now, and that puts me to sleep. If I could just take this operation outside, the bracing, subfreezing air would keep me alert so I wouldn't have to jump up and move around every two thirds of a page to recharge my concentration!I do have questions about words on 2 more pages...is it a ~ or a circumflex or a flat line or a dot in the middle...those pesky accents! I'll ask off list.Be prepared to put on ear guards in a day or two because my whoops and hollers are going to break the sound barrier when I upload this one!Cindy Thanks so much for going beyond patient.

I had to return one copy, and the other is due next Monday. If you're not gong to be working on it for a while, I can return it, too, and then gat it back when you're ready for more help. Cindy --- Estelnalissi <airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Dear Bookshare Volunteer friends, Being without a Braille Note, computer or similar, often used electronic device can be disorienting. That lost, desperate to get it back, feeling is like what some people experience when their tee veez or cars konk out. What about your to do list, validating, your ongoing shopping list, the novel that was getting really good, the e mail messages piling up. What about e mail where you don't have to leave a message at the tone, because your post "is" the message. It's even hard to wait when it isn't your own devices on the blink, but a friends. No more e mail on a whim, pass along humor,alerts to special offers and casual commentary. Do you think there's any hope of convincing Bookshare's manufacturer to issue loaners while they take weeks to repair and return our ailing hardware? For the moment both my computer and Braille Note are working. In appreciation, and because these ideal circumstances could change any minute, I'm off to order something from Amazon, to catch up on my in box, to listen to more of, " A Literary Christmas," from Bookshare and to validate!
