The way you described is the quickest way; but after reading post 12, I suggested an alternative that involved playing the book.

Oops, sorry for the confusion

I have it for free at this time. I was considering keeping it for ebooks. Now that it has unlimited audio, I definitely want to keep it. Just have to get a small device to stream/download audio.

I'm free till mid Feb, then I'm cancelling.

Be sure to stay awake all night on Black Wednesday. The online deals usually go live between midnight and 2am or so. Hopefully you can snag the LG Volt.

As for Thanksgiving dinner later that day, just buy some Stouffer's frozen turkey dinners. Remember, online shopping's more important than slaving over a hot stove fixin' dinner.

I've also signed up for the three-month promo.

So am I reading this right, that I can't download to my device from the Web, I can only download from the device itself? I'm trying that now, and I'm glad directions were posted or I'd be floundering!

I've been going through the site to add audiobooks to library, and I've noticed that the times given for some of the books at Scribd seem to indicate that they are abridged (e.g., some classics); however, when I started a couple and looked at the table of contents, the times for the chapters don't match the total--i.e., they apparently aren't abridged after all. Very weird.

Tofurky is a much better option.

Blech to both of you. My turkey's going in the deep fryer.

I dig you. And since it will just be the 6 of us (no guests) I'm not planning much of a meal. One of my sons will eat turkey. Two of the other kids might have a little. If I can find a good price on a turkey breast, that's what I'll get. As for the traditional fixings, none of the kids will touch any of that. Nor will they eat pie. So I will have no problems staying online hunting for deals.

Usually the two of us I get a Butterball ready to roast turkey breast. you just pop it in the oven. So easy. Now we live near his parents we will be eating there instead. Ugh just learned she got the turkey from Aldi's. Bleh. I may get a Ready to Roast to make later in the weekend.

That looks good! I think we got a Butterball breast last year. But not a cook-in-the-bag one.

Ewwww....Turkey from Aldi's? It is ok if it is a brand name, like Butterball. I wouldn't buy meat there or at Walmart, unless it had a brand name that we know. (Not that we ever shop at Aldi's).

The Aldi's here is really gross. My MIL shops at hers all the time and ravs about. I don't get the fuss. We got a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market right across the street from our Aldi's that is much cheaper on prices, better quality and the meat there is decent. I have shopped at Supercenters alot and agree the meat there is always questionable and wouldn't touch it but the Neighbor Market here must be held to a higher standard as the meat is actually good quality.

As for the Ready Roast. Give it a shot! No mess or fuss and takes about 2 1/2 hours. Add a box of Stove Top stuffing (5 minutes to make) a jar of Heinz Turkey Gravy and Country Crock ready to serve Homestyle Mash potatoes (5 minutes in nuker) and your go to go. I also grab a bag of Steamfresh veggies for a side. That's been our thanksgiving for years now. Oh I forgot Pillsbury croissants sometimes. I do bake pies though but they are ready made pies like Sara Lee or Mrs Smith or if I am lucky and I can find Plush Pippins which are outstanding.

Oh and to bring some back to topic Scribd does have cookbooks for those who actually like to make stuff from scratch. They also have those diet books too for after the holidays and you need to lose those pounds you gained.

Tofurky and pumpkin pie make for a great Thanksgiving dinner, and you can even skip the Tofurky and just double up on the pumpkin pie.

I'm allergic to Tofu but not Pumpkin Pie! The best ready made Pumpkin Pie is at Walmart or Sams by Plush Pippins.

No Walmarts here. I usually make my own--the recipe includes tofu. I may try Trader Joe's pumpkin pie this year, though my local TJ's seems to be running out of all things pumpkin already.

I always get someone else to make my holiday pies. This year, Sara's gonna make 'em for me. Last year, it was Mrs Smith (I always forget her first name). Marie makes good pies, but she charges too much. This year, it'll be cherry, pumpkin, and cherry cheesecake
