Journal Entry 1 by randomelement from Lynn, Massachusetts USA on Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Informative and Funny.

The next time I am having serious PMS fueled chocolate cravings and someone suggests that it is
1) In my head and 2) will cause zits

I have some very factual information coming their way. :-) Thanks to the book authors for helping to answer this and many other weird medical questions.


I plan on releasing this book as a ring.

Take Care!

Journal Entry 6 by juniebug from Marcus, Iowa USA on Monday, July 31, 2006

I received this Friday in the mail, just in time to take with me on a weekend trip. So this JE is both "I have it" and "I read it."

My favorites were Chapter 1 - You Are What You Eat, Chapter 2 - Body Oddities, and Chapter 9 - Getting Older. Thanks for the read and the knowledge!

PMing Well-Chilled and will get this one on the move again as soon as possible.

Journal Entry 8 by well-chilled from Anchorage, Alaska USA on Wednesday, August 09, 2006

This came in the mail today. I started reading it in Turtle Sex Park, but my pale Irish skin was a burning in the sun so I had to head for cover. I'll finish it and send it along quickly. It'll probably go in the mail next week sometime. 

Journal Entry 9 by well-chilled from Anchorage, Alaska USA on Thursday, August 10, 2006

I was a bit disappointed. Some questions were addressed, poked fun at but never answered. Even the answer had been I don't know, but nothing. I like the way they used the party scenario to break the book into chapters by 'topic', but the IM conversations seemed pointless. I felt like I knew or had heard the answers to most of those questions before, in Charlie Brown's Q&A book or something. The only one that seemed new to me, as though I'd not heard it before was the info about how the whole carrots being good for your vision thing got started-and I'm not even sure it was new.
Anyay. It's done. I hope the next readers enjoy it as much as the previous readers have. I'll send it out once I get an address back from the next person in line, whom I pm-d yesterday. 

Journal Entry 10 by well-chilled from Anchorage, Alaska USA on Thursday, August 17, 2006

I'm still waiting on the address of the next person in line. I've also PM-d randomelement to see how long she would like me to wait before moving on to the next person. Just trying to keep it moving.

This is going to mellonhead for the next leg of it's journey. Happy trails! 

Journal Entry 12 by mellonhead from Austin, Texas USA on Saturday, August 26, 2006

Arrived today, amazing for a book mailed from Alaska. It's a slim little thing. I'll start reading it soon. 

Journal Entry 13 by mellonhead from Austin, Texas USA on Sunday, September 17, 2006

As the daughter of two doctors, I knew most of the answers to these questions and couldn't care less about the rest. I hated the interspersed dialogue and attempts to make the Q&A layout of the book into a cohesive story. I thought the portrayal of the authors and their relationship to be annoyingly smug and consciously precocious. Maybe it's a guy/girl thing?

PMing the next in line for their address. 10/1/06 - Mailing to Bulfinch. 

Journal Entry 14 by Bulfinch from Mesa, Arizona USA on Saturday, October 07, 2006

Received from mellonhead earlier this week. (Thanks for the post card!) Have already read half of it, so will be sending along very soon. 

Journal Entry 15 by Bulfinch from Mesa, Arizona USA on Thursday, October 12, 2006

Learned a few things that I didn't know, but most of it I thought was redundant and/or incomplete information. I have to agree that I did not find any value in the interspersed Instant Messenger dialog between the two authors. But, it was a light enough read that the time invested was pretty minimal. I will say that after reading, I found my thoughts wandering back to the book during my day... like when I had the hiccups, etc. Actually, that part was just a little creepy.

Fireflywishes has asked to be skipped, so I am mailing the book out to Aliciayoung in the morning. (10/13) 

Journal Entry 16 by aliciayoung from Statesboro, Georgia USA on Thursday, October 19, 2006

Received the book in the mail today. I will read it as soon as I finish my current book. 

Journal Entry 17 by aliciayoung from Statesboro, Georgia USA on Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Sorry I've had this books so long, but I have been extremely ill the past eight months. PM'ed azuki for address so that I can send the book on its way.
