Quote from: TCB on June 13, 2012, 04:15:47 PMIs 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.

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

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.

I must have something open on the phone that isn't suppose to be open.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.
Diane Sawyer just had a story that one out of ten children in this country has been the victim of identity theft. Scary, huh?
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.
So, apparently Hitler didn't care for the Royal Caribbean appearance on the Tonys either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOe6uhlKBOU
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'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.

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

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
