I have no specific plans today, so I don't think I'll leave my house at all.  If I do, it probably won't be for very long, but I'll definitely be here for the streaming!

Glory Hallelujah, we're up!

In comparing notes with DR Elmore, I know the site's been inaccessible for at least four and half hours, i.e. since 7:15 eastern this morning.

I didn't know that you could upload personal pics to Amazon!

I didn't either. Never heard of this. It says you get 5GB of storage, so that could be useful.

I'm just trying to figure out why someone would use that. Easy access for uploaders and others alike? Can you create "albums" and limit what's accessible to everyone? I might check into it sometime, but no rush.

In case it's of any help at this point (probably not, since it's fixed), the exact message was

Thank you, DR singdaw!

I wonder what their reasoning is in making the "pay what you want" minimum only $10 and up for ages 21-45. Aren't such discounts normally directed toward, say, students and seniors? Hmmm...

I have a question regarding book ratings on Amazon.  My cousin wrote a book called #80: And Other Dog Stories, #80 referring to the identification number of a dog she rescued.

After reading my cousin's post on FB today I am confused about the ratings.  I thought Amazon was rather strict and only those that purchased the books from Amazon could give them a rating.  Maybe, someone/Bruce can explain this to me.

"As much as I would love it, not everyone is going to like me our like what I do. That is a fact. So today when I looked and saw I had a 3 star review on Goodreads, I had a sad face. It goes along with a 4 star review on Goodreads. Goodreads is owned by Amazon, so those stars appear on Amazon.  73 five stars, a 4 star and a 3 star.  The 4 star person was kind enough to write something and I appreciate those words. 3 star person, not one word. It is hard to learn to improve without a few words.
So, I have a frowny face this morning. But there is nothing I can do about it. I am not going to re-write the book (although I seriously thought about it) It does not discount the 73 fantastic reviews. Some are not going to like my book and that is going to have to be OK."

I want to know if Sasha has a loud purr, and is she generous with it? Does she cuddle?

From DR TCB

Quote
What details would you like?  She was a stray that was brought to Animal Rescue, because they are the largest no-kill shelter in Washington.  She was already fixed when she was found.  The first place that found her named her Sasha.  I like the name, so I guess I will keep it.

This does answer my question, if you responded earlier I missed it, regarding her name.  I didn't realize she had been found already spayed.

You have mentioned she cuddles, but not the extent of her cuddling.  I also like DR Laura's question about her purr.

Does she follow you around and jump in your lap a lot?

What toys does Sasha like to play with?

It sounds as if she has adjusted easily.  Is this true?

No you can review a book on amazon without buying it on amazon. But you need to have spent a certain amount of money on amazon.

Goodreads reviews and ratings are completely separate from amazon reviews. Many people can review on one or the other. They don't transfer.

DR Jane, continuing from above about your cousin's book.  The problem on goodreads is that a person could accidentally click on a low number of stars without even reading the book.  And also lots of people only rate books on goodreads without reviewing them.  But I personally wouldn't make too much of it.

Got a pot of mushroom lentil soup on the stove. Smells wonderful. Used some very fragrant porcini mushroom bouillon I had.
