Is the Nook the one from Barnes and Noble?

  I've been thinking about getting a Nook or a Kindle but since I have the app on my Itouch (even though it's 4 years old now) I just can's seem to be able to justify the cost.

In other news, I learned that the iPhone is coming to my carrier--Virgin Mobile!   Since I just bought the slider phone I can't really justify getting the iPhone either, badly as I want one. Pardon me for a moment (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Ahhhhhhh.  Errrrrrrrr)
Ok, I'm back.  Not sure I feel any better about it but I'm here. 

I am about ready to throw my slider phone out the window, It won't hold a charge.  This is the second one I have had.  I charged it yesterday afternoon, and I checked it just before I went to sleep last night and it was already to turn itself off. I must have something open on the phone that isn't suppose to be open.

DR JRand and others who may be interested:  here's some footage from Roundabout's

A little bit of Sheldon shows up now and then, but I think Jim Parsons does a good job of keeping him in check.  Notice, too, the incidental music - reminded me of the theme from SIX FEET UNDER, but a little more chipper.

I don't like the play well enough to go see Jim Parsons (or Brent Barrett) onstage in it.

I put an app on my phone called "Advanced Task Killer" I got it on the android market. My phone wouldn't even last the day on a full charge.  It puts a green/yellow figure on the top of your phone and you have to do a slide down (hope you understand that)  You tap on it and it asks if you want to kill selected apps.  Anything that has a check next to it will be shut down--for awhile anyway.  I use it a couple of times a day and it did help with battery life. 

Hope that helps.

Actually, come to think of it, I turned down the role of Elwood.  Not for the Broadway production.

Thanks, Danise.

I have to tell you about my tweet to DR Jose.  I saw him tweet that he had corrected a tweet where he typed something wrong.  I thought he had some kind new trick that I didn't know about because I make mistakes all the time and it makes me mad when I can't correct it.

Anyway, I tweeted, "How did you do that?" to him.  When he answered, he said he just retyped and retweeted!  I tweeted back "Duh! *hit's forehead* I could have had a V8!" 

Ahh, silly me.

Diane Sawyer just had a story that one out of ten children in this country has been the victim of identity theft.  Scary, huh?

Thanks DR Danise.

After my trip to the mail box I changed the sheets on the bed.  They didn't need changing except we were too warm last night and needed cooler sheets on the bed.

I know that feeling.

I like that we need the cooler sheets.

So, apparently Hitler didn't care for the Royal Caribbean appearance on the Tonys either.

G'night!

[Danise]

G'night!  I'm going too.  Tired tonight.

[George]

Me, four.  I'm heading home.

Be back later.

[John G.]

Night, all.

There was a murder last night 5 doors down from my house, sirens, police, ambulances, etc....I slept through the whole thing and didn't even hear about it until the news at 6:00

Copy editor humor. We love sentences like this:

Joe Smith, 62, and his wife, Mary, 59, were both found deaf in their home by neighbors this morning.



WHAAAAAT??

I find Vixdad and the Vixter both deaf when I call for help bringing in the groceries  from the car

[vixmom]

I'm feeling rather depressed today probably because I picked up Sherlock & brought him home.  When the snow melts on Mt. Ashland we will take him to be with Echo.

Thanks to having accepted a Voluntary [sic] Early Retirement deal from my day job employer last year, AND having not yet decided what I want to do when I grow up, I meanwhile enjoy the freedom of getting to such things as the Friday and Sunday events.  Looking forward to both, and to meeting a few of you DRs.

This is what I am enjoying as well....and I don't miss WORKING one bit.....although I still have plenty to do.

You don't seem to have enough free time to be considered retired

Good grief.  Slap my eyeballs.  I thought you wrote that Jrand didn't have enough time to be considered retarded.


Hey, don't blame me, blame my glaucoma.

LOL!!!!

Apparently the people involved all knew each other and there has been an arrest.  It wasn't random, so I'm really not scared about it, but it was tragic and I can't believe the sirens didn't wake me up

Today's fabulous, non-ironic quote o'the day from Betsy:

"You accuse me of arguing with you every time I disagree with you."

I told her I was going to double stitch that one on a sampler and hang it on the wall.
