Sure there is something odd about naming a book-reading device after a verb that has to do with beginning to burn something (kindle)...and sure it lacks some of the sensory delight of a paper book...and sure I shouldn't read it in the hot tub....and I can't use it during take-offs and landings....but oh the technological delight, efficient packing pleasure, immediate gratification after reading a book review, decreased urgency to retrieve my mail (newspaper and magazines subscriptions automatically update), and hours of quality entertainment this will provide!
What is happening to our world...today I even put together a jigsaw puzzle online at jigzone.com!

This site, inclusive of the following excerpt is amusing! "Foolproof equations for a perfect life"...what could possibly be better?? And yes, I do wish.
Fine print: Thanks for dissasociating me from his less commendable commentary.
One post proposes this equation to answer the question: "How many cups of coffee do you need this morning in order to be functional?"
- C= In shots of espresso, the amount of caffeine you consume in an average morning
- St= The hours of sleep you got last night (subtract one for every time you woke up in a cold sweat, thinking about the things you need to do today)
- Su= The hours of sleep you need to remain civil with telemarketers
- K= How many kids do you have? Kids in diapers are worth two; kids over age 18 are worth half
- Bt= How busy are you today? (1-15 with 1 being “easy like Saturday morning” and 15 being “presently birthing triplets”)
- Bu= How many hours per day do you usually spend in non-recreational activities?
- N= Hours of naptime you can squeeze in this afternoon
- Cups is the number of cups of coffee you should consume before operating heavy machinery.
This site (http://www.freerice.com/) is glorious!!
Since when did developing a good vocabulary help the United Nations? Excellent cause...good entertainment, and fair self-esteem builder...or degrader...smile!

This made me feel warm today. Credits for the wording go to http://skirt.com/... which I decline to fully endorse, yet prefer to simply give credit where credit is due and acknowledge occasional perusal.
