BK - I gather from tracking info that the very tiny birthday package Skip and I sent you is arriving today rather than next week. It's foodstuffs, but I think it'll be packaged to keep OK even if you can't retrieve it today.

Good morning. It looks like the LA weather is headed to Phoenix.

Glad the show went well. Break more legs!

Thanks, Jose, for posting the pics!~

Yes congrats to MR BK and DR JOSE and Co on their opening night....and vibes for their two performances today!

Thanks for the comments about Zachary.....my friend Vickie is traveling to NYC to see him - she was also his H.S. drama teacher....but I do not think I will be going.

DR Jennifer - I believe if you check the publication information on each e-book's page on Amazon.com, it lists which country each book can and can not be sold in.

Does anyone see this anywhere? See this is what i thought would be written for each ebook. But apparently i don't think it works this way. I'm gonna answer DR George's comment below and i'll tell you what amazon.com customer service wrote.

Caught up at least with yesterday's posts:

TCB, I live in San Antonio.

Gus is a strange creature. Why would anyone do that to a cat?

Congrats to Zachary.

Jennifer, just use the Kindle PC app (which is free) to buy e-books in Canada from Amazon.com for use on your computer. Then you can find out which books you are able to buy. You can transfer them to a Kindle later, whenever you are able to get one. Your Amazon account is based in Canada and that's how they determine where the book can be sold. Whether it's on a computer or an actual Kindle device is irrelevant. It'll either work or it won't.

I don't like reading on my computer. So yes i could do it this way. But then if i don't get the kindle i'd have to read them on my computer.

Yes my amazon account is based in Canada. But it's not exactly how they said this works (from my understanding).

Apparently once you are in your account, there is a link at the top of amazon.com called "manage your kindle". If you go there then on the left column there is a category called "country settings". You have to set that to your country. Even though my amazon account was based in canada it said "unknown". So i changed that.

The email i received from CS said that once you do this you will only be able to see books available to Canada. And the ones i wanted still show for me. So i guess that means they are available?

I guess since i'd never ordered an ebook my country setting was not set yet.

The CS email was sort of helpful. But it was another form letter. I specifically asked if certain ebooks were available (i listed 3). But he/she ignored that and just told me what to do to change my country!

Maybe you know someone in the US who would use the gift card to buy your books and get the free shipping (if the order is over $25) and then send it to you for the ACTUAL cost of shipping...which would probably be a lot less than what Amazon.com charges.

I thought of doing this. Since i believe it would only cost a few dollars to ship. Btw, the funnier part is that i only told you how much they charge for shipping if you buy one kids book. They add $4 for each tiny kids book. So if i bought 3 kids books it would ($9 for the actual books), then $5 shipping, plus $12 extra charges. So it would be $26 for $9 of books. And it would definitely cost less than $5 to ship here since they are so thin.

It's beyond ridiculous. I don't get why they charge so much. Thebookdeposistory.com (which a bunch of people have used to ship me books) is free shipping anywhere in the world. And the books arrive fast.

I ended up not ordering the books for my niece cause i refuse to pay $17 in shipping. The only reason i considered it was because i have a giftcard there.

Let's talk apps. As you know, I just got my first smart phone (iPhone 4s) and I'm having lots of fun with it. So far I've installed Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, a QR reader, Words with Friends, a med management app from the AMA, NPR News, C-Span Radio, Pandora, goPostal, Open Table & Urbanspoon, and apps from The University of Michigan and Miami University. What else do you suggest?

I've had a smartphone for a few months DR Ginny. I wasn't sure whether I needed one but like all these gadgets, now that I've got it, I couldn't live without it. I especially like being able to access the internet anywhere. One app I got recently was Find My Car which is useful if, like me, your brain lacks the ability to remember where you parked.

Starting tomorrow, we're supposed to get 2-4 days of rain here in Austin.

One of my local supermarkets has just reopened after a major rebuilding/extension programme. I went there today and it looks.....er...super. I couldn't resist going in and buying loads of unnecessary but yummy foodstuffs such as chorizo snacks, ham hock quiches and Polish kabanos. I then had lunch in the new cafe - salmon and watercress sandwichwiches and a latte.

Morning all.

That is all.

Ben · « **Reply #56 on:** December 01, 2011, 07:50:31 AM »

I've been up since 7:45 but I'm just now done with things.

Today was my first day off work and I spent the morning doing errands. The laundry is done, I went to the Post Office and Trader Joe's and now I'm home. We will spend the rest of the day (which is beautiful, btw) relaxing. We will go to BB&B so I can show Anthony the electric razor I want for Christmas and we might go to Academy (the used CD store) but the rest of the day is ours.

We begin the volunteer stint tomorrow morning at 9:30 so I won't be around all day.

DR Ben - sounds like retirement! In all seriousness, I hope this year's break more than makes up for how last year's turned out for you!
