You can download the Kindle app from amazon for PC.
yeah I've had kindle and nook apps on puters before. Just don't wanna do it on the puter. Want a tablet so I can lay flat and read when my back is really hurting and needs to be flat. help me take my mind off it instead of always watching tv.

Thanks yeah. I'm hoping they'll have a cyber monday deal on it maybe. that's the one I was talkin to my son about a few days ago. thanks :)
I bought myself one last December when my mom was in a rehab place. Lots of long hours sitting with nothing much to do. Saved my life and easily outpaced its price tag during that four weeks.

I basically just use it as a Kindle reader, though it's capable of a lot more.

I'm considering getting an Apple Iphone 6sPlus. My Grandaughter and GrandsonInlaw both have one and love it. My Lg is about 3 years or more old and It doesn't have a changable battery. It goes almost dead every day. It the old lg 2. The Iphone has a 12MP camera and 4MP video, they are so good for pics it's amazing. Plus they have a thing called Facetime on it and instead of having to mess around with SKype with all its lousy video you just call anyone with an Apple and it's a video phone. Just thinking about it they are $630. I won't get another 2 year contract.

I had a weird thing happen yesterday. I had heart palpitations I think it is called 3 times. It was really weird all of a sudden my heart started to beat really fast the last time I grabbed my oximeter and my pulse had jumped to 160 and in about 20sec it dropped back to 78 in a matter of maybe 10 sec. Haven't had another one since yesterday. Cardiologist told me if it happens again to come right in and get a halter put on for 24hours. No pain just strange. I've heard of people having them after the surgery I had but I never did.

my phone is old and wayyyyyy too tiny! Bigger than a flip, but not a lot bigger


oh I'd love a great sour apple. Hey, lets have two experts on this one...... @Kodak hehehe


that is despicable!!! thanks.


ya mean osteo??? lol Can't wait to hear how it went, and if you really like this guy!


oops! Ortho:D

"Bout all he had to say was that he didn't like the look of the bone around the metal ball but come back in a couple of months and keep staying active, except when the groin starts to hurt....(no sexual encounters for me):(

:D

and then he'll do another xray or two.

I just got back a while ago so now I'm going for a walk, albeit a short one, it's better than nothin'.

And no..I did't particularly care for him, he was a bit abrupt and he forgot about the elbow cyst...but so did I:D

Next time....

I'm sure you've all seen the news about the DOD clawing back enlistment bonuses from some of our troops.... In addition to lots of calls to all the legislators, here's something to sign.

Department of Defense: Join IAVA in Telling Uncle Sam to #PayThemBack

(Just got the email this AM, so it's still small. IAVA is a good org.)

I signed a similar one yesterday on change dot org. Signed this one too. Just awful asking them to pay it back. Actually worse than awful ... more like outrageous.

I'm considering getting an Apple Iphone 6sPlus. My Grandaughter and GrandsonInlaw both have one and love it. My Lg is about 3 years or more old and It doesn't have a changable battery. It goes almost dead every day. It the old lg 2. The Iphone has a 12MP camera and 4MP video, they are so good for pics it's amazing.

Just thinking about it they are $630. I won't get another 2 year contract.

We use FaceTime a lot ... really like that feature. The iPhone now have something called Live Photo, it's an animated 'still' picture. Sort of like taking a 'gif' not a 'still' picture.

So I am in the middle of binding an Auto Policy today...I had started it with the husband and he didn't have all the info to complete it so he had his wife call me back.

When she did we got to the end and the system kicked me back to the beginning...dang...

I asked the wife the question I had missed...
What is husband's occupation...
She said Idiot.

I laughed sooooo hard !

Just a word of experience here. My iPad gets really heavy and awkward to read on (as did my Kindle when I had one). My hands and arms get sore using it. I just put the books on my smartphone now and it works out much better even though I have a really big smartphone (iPhone 6+).
Thats a great idea if you have a big smartphone. Mine is an iphone 5 so too small for that but I use an ipad mini which is about the same size as a kindle. @Debadoo that might work for you and the older models are about $200.

I dont do contracts either. I just replaced my iphone 4 with a 5S. It cost me $230. I love it and it's very similar to a 6. If the cost of a 6 is more thsn you want to spend you might want to look at the 5. With the 7 out most vendors are trying to get rid of their 5s so the prices have really dropped.
