I mistyped. “Special offers” The ads. The damn ads you “get” to see unless you pay extra— or that’s how it used to work. I don’t see an option to buy your way out of the ads on the Paperwhite.

How disruptive are the “Special Features” and does this mean that you have to have wi/fi on at all times? I have a Nook Touch and quickly discovered that turning off wi/fi did marvelous things to battery life without actually removing any features I used. (It’s excellent and only needs to be replaced due to wear and…

Psst! The point is not to pick a different graphic design from the same war! That would be as offensive, er, “contentious,” for the same reasons, as the current Confederate Flag. If the urge to fly a Confederate Flag of any design truly comes from a “pride in the South,” the idea, as presented above, is to pick a…

Very true! And Monty Python wasn’t far from historical fact, either! On a visit to the Netherlands, I stopped at the Oudewater witches’ scales. On one hand, it was silly that weighing a “reasonable” amount for your size was something to get on a certificate. On the other, such a certificate could have saved my life…

Yes! Though she never did that when I was little and needed it, I still feel the need for “mommy” to come hug me, pet me, comfort me, reassure me, love me...What is that?! Why?! Why won’t that go away in the face of 40 years of evidence that it has yet to happen and never will ?!?!!! (It’s been about 10 years since I…

I’m pretty sure, it’s to sell cards, balloons, floral bouquets, Sheri’s Berries, etc.

Those of us who need a replacement mom or just an adult ally are so grateful for people like you. I’ve given many a handmade card or craft gift to “moms” who have graciously included me in their love.

I do not know her exact diagnosis, but my mother has mental health issues. “Toxic,” too. After I left home and was actively working to cut off contact for my own safety and sanity, I heard that my parents were adopting Chinese orphans. I tried to stop the adoption. I was told I was “jealous,” or “worried about my…

I tried it thanks to it being the cheapest thing on offer at Whole Foods. "Vanilla Honey" is delicious — I was wary of getting unflavored since I had no idea what a mongongo was. I'm still a little iffy on what it is, but the lip balm's great.

I know I was impressed when I observed my young cat, who had lost a toy between a chest of drawers of and the wall. She tried to reach the toy, couldn't, and then she opened the bottom drawer and peered inside to check for the toy. The problem-solving displayed there was impressive to me, and reminded me of cognitive…
