Converting to something that doesn't celebrate Christmas is looking REAL good right about now...however, Chris's family does not specialize in rational; and I kind of doubt they'd buy religious conversion at this late date, LOL. They're just going to have to live with "cheap"...cause that's all we're going to be able to pull off.

how terribly frustrating! yet another reason for me to hang onto my old K1 along with the K2!

Well; one has to prioritize

1. Consulted my Karma.......good to go.........could work

2. Threw some feathers in the air

3. Phoned Amazon if they would (please, please,please) send me that replacement-Kindle by the end of the month, instead of the end of January 2011, and they did promise.

Now I save my total ' count of blessings' for the next emergency.

Really? That's great!

This makes me realize why I DON'T want to get rid of my other two readers, although they are both loaned out right now. I would be so lost without an e-book reader -- I don't want to go back!

I owe a debt to Judaism.

Back in the late 50s the Watchtower people would come around knocking on doors. I used to give them ten cents just to get rid of them.

Occasionally two family of Watchtower families would come by, but not too often. But one summer THREE groups came by! That was too much even for a dumb ten year old!

My brain slowly turned and I blurted out "Sorry, we're Jewish".

The Watchtower people never knocked on our door again.


PS - to any Watchtower people. Hope I didn't offend any, but I don't even know what religion you are.

Thanks
And the worst of all: I'm way over-dramatic when something is wrong with my ereader. I feel it (too) deeply: my family knows it just by looking at me: I tend to ' shrink' a bit.

The "Add/Read a good joke to lighten your day", maybe. But it was true.

Nope. "The Vent and Rant Thread". Was I the only one that these people used to irritate?
