Well, you've read the notes, the notes were long (not really), and now it is time for you to post until the long cows come home.

First post after BK!

Good morning. Am I really the first post after TCB?

Good morning, all!

I slept quite well last night. I'm rather surprised by it.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2016, 04:10:59 AM »

I had one rather vivid dream, but it's already fading from my mind. I also had a dream about Anna Karenina and Vronski, who were trying to settle in Manhattan. Or was it LA?

This morning, I will go back to City Center and deal with whatever score Joshie has left for me. He may not be there since he is involved with this gala concert of The Secret Garden. I'll work on whatever he's left for me, then leave.

Createspace has really been excellent, resourceful and cooperative, but there were problems getting my last book to look decent on Kindle, possibly because they were mainly lyrics.

On my way to City Center, I will stop at my pharmacy and pick up the month's meds.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law Jo sent me the property tax bill. However, she did not tell me how much I owe, so I'm waiting for her to confirm I owe the State of Ohio $600+.

Chelsea Music managed to get a copy of my W-2 from the Duck Dynasty production company, and the top of the W-2 says Employer Reference Copy - Do Not File. I emailed the W-2 to my accountant and now I'm waiting for word on whether this copy will suffice or not.

I hate being on hold!

TOD:

I don't own a Kindle. I just sell books on that format, as well as in paperback.

Thus far, after several years of doing it, I've had no complaints, so I assume everything is okay.

If you publish through CreateSpace, which I do with my plays, they will handle the Kindle version for you. Or, you can do it yourself, as I do. It's really a very simple process.

Usually, in any given month, I sell more books on Kindle than in Paperback.

Times are certainly changing. Personally, I like to hold a physical book in my hands.

What a week-- but at least it's Thursday already.

Good morning, all.

I've now read several books on Kindle (the iPad app, not an actual Kindle) and enjoyed it all just fine. I occasionally get thrown momentarily, when flipping back and forth for a few pages, to find the layout of paragraphs or illustrations changing position, but I think that's just the nature of the beast. And I'm the odd man out here, because I'm usually very comfortable with Times New Roman.

Re BK's books: I read WELCOME TO MY WORLD on it before BK was shipping the hard copies, and it was fine. Two pages were wonky -- the acknowledgments and the list of musical numbers. I don't recall anything else. I also have RED GOLD -- which was actually my first Kindle book -- and even though I read the real book, I did flip through the Kindle version and don't recall anything unusual or amiss.

Otherwise, I've read THE MARTIAN, ASTRONAUTS WIVES CLUB, HELLRAISERS, and I'm in the middle of a large book by a music director, none of which have presented any problems or distractions.

I do not have a Kindle machine - although I have Kindle for PC....and have seen a book or two there.

Thursday morning greetings! My prescriptions are finally ready, so I'll be off to Kroger soon. Had to make do last night with Kahlua therapy for my cough, which worked OK until about 5am. After that I had to ~~sleep~~ doze sitting up until about 7.

I Actually have a Kindle that a good friend of mine gave me. I have yet to use it. I am a REAL BOOK LOVER. I prefer to hold a book in my hands and feel the pages. I often make notes and underline prose that i particularity like.

I'm guessing that is 1/3 of the statement she sent you.

I have a Kindle App for my Nook but I don't like using it. In fact it has been so long since I used it I would have to figure it out again.

So do I DR Kate. If it wasn't due to severe pain I never would have begun using my Nook.

I just treated myself to hot chocolate. It felt good inside my mouth.

That's what I thought, DR Jane. These were sent electronically from the doctor's office to the pharmacy, which I don't totally trust. Just glad it's not life or death medication...

Jane · « **Reply #29 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:14:22 AM »

I think it is always best to call and check on the status before stopping to pick them up. It saves a wasted stop and makes sure they have the order in their queue.
