I feel like I'm missing out on so many free books! lol it gets expensive buying my paperbacks! lol I don't want anything like an I pad. I saw the first Kindle. And I liked the "flat" screen. There was NO glare, no shiny screen. It was also easy to read all the time... something about back lighting? Is the Nook the same? (can you tell I don't want to drive to the store? lol) I saw the kindle fire in office depot the other day and it has the shiny screen... and speaking with one lady while waiting for our cars to be service, she said that it WAS harder to read than the first one. She has 3 of them! lol

Well here is another awesome deal. Till May 5th, walmart has the kindle that is the one that has ads on it for $79 but you get a free $30 gift card with it to use as you wish so the Kindle only ends up costing $49! It is in the most recent walmart flier for Mother's Day. If you go to the walmart website and look at the latest one it is on the front page. (this is not the fire or the regular kindle it is the one that has ads on it)It has the 6" eink screen.
This is the kindle at the amazon store so you know which one the ad is offering.

thanks, Raven. Do you know how often those ads appear? Do you have problems with glare on any of your readers?

Yankees!!!!!!!!......Yankees here?......Oh my Gawd I didn't know they was Yankees here!!!!!!........:) Oh, relax, Paul! I can't speak for the others (you'll just have to watch those people! LOL), but all my people are Southern and I was born in the South, and though by circumstances was transplanted North, I was raised on Southern home training and sweet tea (didn't even know there was any other kind until college, when I started dating a real Yankee). Jim, about the Austins' prevalence: As Jeri and others have so astutely pointed out, that's just marketing. People seem to be obsessed with the Brits and their lifestyles, their names (look at the baby name trends, especially for girls), their TV shows, their movie stars, their accents... somehow, people seem to think, all things British are somehow better and of a higher, more refined and educated stature. So of course they eat up the Austin propaganda. Maybe the Germans need better press. And also, sorry to say, but some folks are just ignorant. Watching QVC the other night (oh the shame!), I saw this female host on a gardening show with this guy peddling an Austin collection. "Oh, I've never SEEN blooms like this; this is a truly EXTRAORDINARY rose." And she meant every single word. Now, we who are acquainted with the antique world know this is nothing rare or super-special, but for those who have only ever seen a hybrid tea... That's why it's up to us to educate. So maybe disdain isn't the answer, just education...

Taj Mahal - I think it's ''the one''
Q
Comments (28)
Well, it's official...I'm getting my Taj Mahal! The original slab that I posted above is still on hold along with the 5 behind it. They got a new shipment in and they went just as fast. Luckily, the granite guy called when he was here and had them put a slab on hold for me. When I went down to look at it three days later they only had one slab available. They said they've never seen any granite sell like this one. The only problem with my slab is it has this awful deep rust colored streak across the top corner. It's a larger than normal slab, so I'm hoping they can work around it.

Sale at Target, I ended up with a crockpot

Crock-Pot "Baked" Chicken Pieces Put several wads of foil in the bottom of the Crock Pot to raise the chicken pieces. Placed seasoned chicken pieces on top of the foil. Heat 1-hour on HIGH and 6-8-hours on LOW. (This chicken will be like baked chicken, not stewed in it's juices like most slow-cooker recipes.) Crock\-Pot Boneless, Skinless BBQ Chicken 4\-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts Bottled BBQ sauce (enough to cover well \- or about 1 small bottle) 1/4 c. vinegar 1 t. red pepper flakes 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/2\-1 t. garlic powder Mix sauce ingredients. Place chicken in crock pot. Pour sauce over chicken. Cook on LOW 4\-6\-hours. Slow-Cooker Fudge 2-1/2 c. chocolate chips 1/2 c. (canned) coconut milk 1/4 c. raw honey pinch of salt 1 t. vanilla Mix all the ingredients EXCEPT the vanilla in the cooker. Cook on low for 2-hours with the lid on without stirring and NO PEEKING. After 2 hours, turn off cooker, take off lid and add vanilla. Cool the fudge in the slow cooker until room temperature (or approximately 1-hour). Stir vigorously for 5-10 minutes until it loses some of the gloss. Pour into a 1-quart prepared dish (or pan). Cover and refrigerate 4-hours, or until firm. Shredded Steak, Chicken or Pork (I made this last night using a short chunk of pork loin I had in the freezer \- about 22\-oz. I cut it in 1\-inch cubes while semi\-frozen.) Cube the type of meat you are going to use. Season with your favorite seasoning mixture. Cover with 1\-2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes (original), depending on how much meat you cook. One can of Rotel per pound of meat (more or less). Cook 8\-hours on LOW, or 4\-hours on HIGH. Remove meat and shred.

Concealed Carry License (Think I'm Gonna Get One)
Q
Comments (65)
Some people are collectors of handguns. They've had to have had them registered for well over 50 years. There are strict rules as to the security with which they are stored. If they want to take it/them to a shooting range, they need to get a permit to do so. There's been some controversy lately, because some such people have had their guns/collection stolen, and some of those guns were used by people who had bought them in the black market in murdering people. They say that when a gun has been used in one rather high rpfile, or several less so, murders, its price on the black market goes down. A few years ago they started a registry program for long guns, and many fought it. Others said that it seemed strange that people had no problem with registering cars, but resisted registering guns. It cost huge amounts of money - over a billion, some said closer to two billion - and there was a lot of controversy over that. Some of us said that we didn't see why that should cost an arm and a leg, for they'd had a registry of all of the handguns for over 50 years, so it shouldn't be too hard to set up a parallel program to register the long guns. A recently elected government dislikes that registry and is talking about scrapping it. A billion (or maybe closer to two) ... down a rathole. ole joyful

I have a Kindle Fire and I love mine. I don't have a glare problem at all and the screen is so vibrant. I didn't get mine one sale sadly.. I bought it straight from Amazon. I have seen ads for the new nook and am not impressed. I think it's their answer to the Fire and I would wait until all the tech reviews come out before getting one. IMHO of course :)

The screen on the kindle in the ad has the eink screen which you can read out in the sun you do have to have light to read it in dark places since there is no back light. The fire and most other tablets use a screen much like your pc monitor which is back lit that makes it easy to use indoors and in dark, but not as good outside in bright sunlight you will have glare to some degree depending on the angle and sunlight.
If you want just a basic ereader with no bells and whistles then the kindle in the ad is exactly that.

I personally have never played with a nook color but it does run on Android so should be able to go online and surf and do other things besides just ereader. But as I said I have never used one.

My sister has this same kindle in the ad and for her it is perfect all she wanted, plus she said many of the ads are good and she has used them. Often they are for amazon items.

I am sorry I didn't answer about the frequency of ads, I think I remember my sister saying it was at startup mostly. Not so much in the middle of her reading. But I sure could be wrong lol!

Mine is a Kindle Touch. I would think you definitely want a reader with a touch screen. It's SO convenient, and I don't know how you'd ever play games on the cheaper ones with buttons. There's no glare on the screen, but it's not backlit (I just use a little book light when I read in bed when DH is sleeping)

hmmmmm.. I would like it back lit. I don't sit in the sun
amy more, so I guess I don't need to worry about that.
But I do find it irritating sometimes to have to move this laptop around trying to avoid the shiine from the light or
glare from the outside.
