I'm going to be trying out Amazon's Kindle platform myself, once I get done editing. But I've got some people asking about hard copies and right now, Lulu is also the only one I really know of that doesn't reek of scam.

Hmm, mine should be up-to-date, not sure about hers. It's fairly new but that's no guarantee. Might be worth trying first before looking at the installing something though! Thanks.

Thanks, I'll take a look alongside all the other suggestions.

Thank you, I'll take a look and see if it'll work!

This article is like a big glaring neon sign pointed right at me yelling "Clean out your closet, Thistle." Cause I'm really not going to wear those brown slacks and I don't feel comfortable in shirts that don't go at least half-way down my hips. Though my Google shirt gets a pass. They sent it to a conference I…

I'm trying to help out my aunt with a computer problem. She's pretty awesome, but she also lives halfway across the US. Is there an easy way to remote desktop to someone else's laptop? I'd love to just be able to poke around on her computer and see for myself what is going on instead of playing e-mail tag. I use…

I don't remember what it's supposed to be. I got this shot the first year it was available so it's been a while. I imagine there's a bit of leeway built in though - my mother was so fanatical about me getting it on time because she really, really wanted me to have this vaccine. Didn't even ask if I wanted it...…

Yeah... I got this in college. I still went to my mother's practice (they saw kids all the way through college) and even though my parents are super-abstinence-advocates I was the first person in the office to get the vaccine. And my mother was rabid about making sure I drove home to get the next two shots exactly…

I love this woman so much now. I'm going to vote for her not because I want to stick it to AA, but because she's absolutely gorgeous in those photos.

I know correlation != causation... but I laughed nonetheless. I feel like a bad person now.

I've got a movement disorder that is triggered by stress (one of many triggers), so every time it gets the better of me I have a seizure-like fit. On the upside, I don't get stressed very easily anymore (I'm probably the calmest person in the office) and I've got awesome muscle tone. On the downside... it fucking…

Not about brewing coffee (I don't drink it), but a friend just gave me a batch of cupcakes with the most amazing frosting ever. Buttercream, dark cocoa powder, ground coffee, and a pinch of chili. I need to get the exact recipe from her, but for those you up for experimenting, I highly recommend the addition of…

Oh thank goodness. Last time I flew I wasn't able to take off my own shoes cause of my disorder, so this really nice TSA gentleman (not being sarcastic) came over and helped me with my shoes, jacket, and took charge of all my stuff so I didn't have to get it through security and could just walk through and sit down…

I was about to start bitching, but then I read this post and realized I would pay around $80-$100 for cable and internet. Instead, I pay around $50 for cable and Netflix and am quite content with the level of service I get. I can see this being an issue since I share my account with my roommate, but I'm sure we can…

I'm going to ignore everything that happened after she was asked to leave. But why was she asked to leave? She obviously needs the resources a library provides. Let's go down the list... young single mother, unemployed, and if the picture on the linked article is not just a stock: black.

My mother would take me to the store and let me look through all these books and pick out the ones I liked best. She'd then improvise a pattern and make it for me. That's how I got to be a magical cat princess one year. And when I was an American Indian, I got to wear my dad's spirit shirt he made as part of a…

I have never felt like the third wheel among my friends, despite being single 90% of the time. I have no idea why - maybe my friends are just that amazing and make sure to not get so involved in the other person that they forget they're in company of others. The only time I've ever felt uncomfortable is when couples…

Confession time. I do not wear lipstick. Ever. I've just never figured it out, don't know what looks good on me, don't know how to even apply it. I have one tube and I have no idea where it came from.

Nice. Glad to see some people are tired of that gimmick. At my first job I had someone tell me to my face that women don't belong in IT. In my current job I work QA, not because I'm not capable of being a developer, but because the gender ratio is so much better. And because they snatched me up and refuse to let…

How do you teach them the difference? I've got a five year old shelter dog and I've never owned a dog before. She's pretty good at going outside to pee, but every now and then she decides it's time to play and I have to chase her down. And then when I catch up she lays down and refuses to move so I have to go get…
