Nice ticker Chanon!!!!

So I am thinking of getting a Kindle or Nook for Christmas. Do any of you have one which one do you have what do you like most and least?

I have the Nook Color, and while I like it, I think I would have preferred the Kindle. My Nook Color is a bit heavy, and gets hard to hold after a while. We chose it because of the ability to check out ebooks from our library... but if we'd waited until this year I could have gotten a Kindle, as they now can check out books. I do like the color for the option of seeing my magazines in full color, but that's really the biggest benefit that I can see.

We are planning on getting Katie a Kindle for Christmas. Our reasons are that it will be cheaper than a Nook, there's a larger selection of free books for the Kindle, and the Kindle is the only ereader allowed at her school.

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I've been trying to get my house ready for my dad to come, next week. So many projects need to be completed!!! We did manage to whittle down the list a bit over the weekend, and even took the kids to see Disney on Ice on Saturday night. I probably won't be around much this week, either. It seems like life is just getting busier and busier. Katie is in the school play, Jacob has Scouts, Leslie has a Reflections awards ceremony this week, and I have an Arrow of Light ceremony to plan for 2 of my Webelos. I don't know what's going to happen, and what's not, so it will be interesting... to say the least!

Good morning, DDA!

I did two updates this morning from well trusted sites (adobe flash and music notes dot com) and got the blue screen of death! Did a diagnostic and everything seems to be OK, but I did not need to have to take the time to do that today!

My phone did an automatic update last night too. I hope it doesn't crash!!

Totally understand Elin! Phil's computer have a driver error and started pixelating things in the middle of the night before last (he was working on it at the time). A reboot almost didn't being the system back up and then did it a few more times. He Sony half the night and most of yesterday running every scan possible with no concrete results. For whatever reason it starred working right again and has run fine since (knock on wood!).

It happened again this morning. So I uninstalled the Adobe Flash update and the music notes dot com update and we will see if it happens again. The only good thing out of all of this is that I never buy additional warranties, but when I bought this desktop it was replacing one that died when we had a surge in a line. The protection I got covered that so for $99 I have warranty coverage until next May. If it continues to happen they will be out here to fix or replace this baby in a heartbeat!

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Glynis]

Wow! Elin, it sounds like things with your computer are wonky, right now! Hope you get it fixed! I wouldn't know what to do, at all!!!

Super busy day here! Have a lunch meeting with my SIL and her kids (yay!), then have to drive 45 minutes in the other direction to get to the library, gotta make a trip to the store for some essentials for everyday, plus the Thanksgiving meal, then it's back home for some cleaning. On top of all that, Katie is complaining about her stomach hurting. She's been coughing a lot lately, too, so she'll most likely be staying home, today. On the up side... if she stays home, I can leave Timothy with her (as long as there's no fever), and run my errands in peace! If that happens, I'll add in shopping for his birthday, as well as my other errands.

Did I mention this dog is killing me?

 

[tmfranlk]

Single digits! 9 days to go! (Almost 8 since it took me so long to post tonight. )

Glynis - Hope Katie's feeling okay. Sounds like a crazy day for you.

Anne Marie - You'll make it! I'm thinking puppy is not really for me when it comes time for a dog around here. We'll see I guess.

Elin - Hope you're computer is behaving now. Glad there's a warranty at least. Still now new problems here so that's good. I need to be buying new tires and a wheel hub soon so a computer is not in the budget for awhile.

After much drama, it looks like we've finally got Thanksgiving plans set and will be going to Erin's MIL's house for dinner. I'm liking it because a) less work for me to cook, b) much less work for me in getting ready, and c) much shorter day so I can finish getting ready for our trip. Now for it to all go smoothly so that Terra can get her way and not have me insisting on going to CA for Christmas so I can escape the holiday issues/drama around here.

Otherwise, just the basics here. Finishing up our trip stuff, updating my entertainment schedules tonight and snack lists tonight, finishing our shirts this weekend, packing, etc. I think we're going to try and put up the Christmas tree this weekend as well since it would be probably somewhere between Dec 5 and 10 before it got up if we waited.

Tia,

Yay for 9 more days!!!!! Single digit dance!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

for single digit dancing, Tia! FINALLY!

for dealing with puppies, Anne Marie!

 

[mommykds]

Thanks! She has major separation anxiety.

When I get some time I am hopefully booking Easter at WDW!!! So excited! The kids dont know so maybe that will be our Christmas gift to them.

Would it be a bad move to book at the All Stars during Easter? Is that crazy? I am nervous about the teen/cheer groups. Unless there is a great AP deal deluxe is out. The only mod would be POR & we stayed there in the summer so I would like to stay somewhere else.

Good morning, DDA!

Bob is scheduled to have cataract surgery in January. We are hoping to get in sometime in the next 6 weeks or so that we don't have to deal with our insurance deductible again next year. They are hoping that the lens they implant will improve his vision considerably since the corneal scar from the abrasion he got while in the hospital is impairing it considerably. Keep on swimming....

 

[tmfranlk]

Hope they can work you in this year!!
