javachik, that's awesome and I'm sorry.
I *love* reading on the Kindle. I didn't expect to, but I do.
I hoped I would, but it hasn't grabbed me. That may yet change. We'll see.
It's really great when I read while eating or standing on BART because it eliminates the whole "keeping the pages down" issue. I really didn't think I'd like it either, but I've found it very convenient.
Good luck with your parents, Consuela. I hope it doesn't turn out to be too stressful.
As for your job, I don't eve know what to say. What an endless nightmare.
Lots of ~ma for your SO's dad, Liese.
I totally went to a Bad Eggs place on the bezoar thing, too. My HP ignorance is showing.
He asked me why I was competitive. I told him "because I woke up this morning."
Ha! Excellent answer.
Consuela, I'm sorry -- that's going to be a tough road.
ion, I love my Kindle Fire more than my kids some days. It's the best toy I've ever had outside of my Easy Bake Oven and the Barbie head that you could put makeup on.
I always wanted a Barbie head.
Maybe I should get a Kindle Fire. That makes sense.
Hubby was sure I'd get tired of my Nook, but it's become one of those things that I get antsy not to have within arm's reach, like my Palm--and for the same reason. Fic! Must have fic in case I get five seconds to read something.
I thought the Barbie head was creepy.
You guys, technology is magic. My cat just walked over my computer and locked the trackpad. So using tab and whatever, I googled the problem and found the answer (fn + F9) super easily! Phew. I was scared.
Good luck with all of it, Consuela. I can't believe the shit with your job.

There's a part of me that wants to watch ita and Pete play board games, but only if I'm not participating and am at a minimum safe distance.
