I took everything from May'08 and before, and threw it in here.
You are so welcome. It's nice to see the OCD'ers getting the credit they deserve!
Lori, does it bother you that the term "OCD" isn't in alphabetical order? I think they called it that on purpose just to tick off all you "overly organized" people...

April I haven't noticed that before but now that's probably always going to annoy me whenever I see 'OCD'! Never mind it's always nice to have something annoying about everything, ha.
Old but always relevant, could be me. I'm a bit older. And relevant? Always, at least in my mind. But a couple other posts elsewhere has me thinking this is a good discussion to keep alive. E.G talked about old classics in 'books that are worth owning' and Komal brings up the current relevance to an older classic, 'A Clockwork Orange,' in the 'what are you reading - part deux' ( I can't resist the French links). Fairly recently I reread 'The American' by Henry James' (French link again). Truly a well written classic always worth reading. Any other classics being reread, or for the first time, out there?
I was 13 when I first read it, and even today it is still relevant in my life - Jane Eyre
I just thought I would add a non-book but quote related 'old but always relevant' note. On the anniversary of D Day: “If you are going through hell, keep going.�
� Winston Churchill.
A couple all time favorites. The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and Hidden Faces by Salvador Dali. You may have to be a Dali lover to like it, not sure...
I believe in Marc-Andre all the way. I'm sick of people criticizing him. He's always in the shadow of other goal tenders.
Feel free to breathe new life into them if you like.
I will relocate them to an active folder if they become active again!
