I guess where I’m most relentless is making sure that my photographs are labeled. I don’t know how many times my grandfather warned me to write who/what/where on them. He started preaching that after going through a suitcase full of loose photos. The digital age has helped with the cameras registering the date (as long as you have it set correctly) and you can at least highlight all the photos and put a description of the event. The downside is that you come home with 100s of photos to weed through. 😉 So, needless to say, I get backlogged in labeling exactly who is in the pictures, but I won’t share them until I’ve done so. (Ummm, maybe anal-retentive might be a better word for me than relentless. Ha!)

Oy. Relentless. I can be obnoxiously relentless about anything I find a passion for…as you know. Like encouraging people to give books as gifts…encouraging people to enstill a love of reading in younger generations…encouraging people to talk about books, take advantage of their libraries, try audiobooks, etc.

As a teacher I was relentless about teaching my students accountability and responsibility. Too many people…especially parents…want to do everything FOR the children. THAT. DOESN’T. HELP. THEM. It teaches them dependency and entitlement. I’ve had all kinds of parents give me all kinds or reasons why doing everything for their children, paying for everything, giving them everything they want, is a good thing. And no one has given me any evidence that convinces me they are right. The only thing it does is assuage parents. See…relentless, obnoxiously relentless. 🙂

Hahahaha! That’s great, Le0! Cheers to Mrs. Le0, too. I think you’re relentless on your knowledge of music and movies. You knock me out!

Love this, PCN! This is actually why I’m not participating in any of the many book blogger exchanges. My local B&N does a book drive for local schools and kids who have been abused. The kids put down what they are interested in, and my absolute favorite part of Christmas is choosing a HUGE stack of books I think they’d love. It always puts me in the spirit. I loved getting books as a child, and I’m so glad I’m able to pass that on.

As for what I am relentless about… hm. I’ll go light-hearted and say Dove peppermint bark. I don’t like regular peppermint bark, but this stuff? I went to four different stores in search of it once I realized Christmas candy was being put out.

I haven’t read Harry Bosch but have read Connelly and would love the book.

Beautiful idea, Elyse! I am relentless about pushing my charity, Friends of Tanzanian Orphans, and will return again this summer to work with the children and I am thankful that I won’t need to mortgage my home to do so as I just continue to fritter away my pitiful retirement funds. So-o, if anyone wishes to make a small contribution?
