OK, that's it -- I'm renewing my Netflix :)

You are so right! I knew they paid for them but thought it was a one-time fee. I decided to research it and it is quite a can of worms. Distributors charging ridiculous fees that sometimes have to be renewed every six months; arguments over comparing ebook fees to 'real' book fees; debates over...

39F cloudy and drizzling rain. But at least the snow is gone!

Here are some subject lines that have come to me this year. The actual messages range from short two-liners to quite long, detailed stories. (I hang on to these emails for a while for their entertainment value). I have heard that the Ukraine charity scams are big these days. Subject line...

I have the problem of walking into a different room too. I blame it on having too many things on my mind :) I am a little more concerned about having trouble remembering what I did yesterday or last night -- like really struggling to remember what I had for lunch or dinner yesterday. I just...

Sometimes we'd pick up apples that fell from our apple tree and use our wagon to haul them over to the rotten apple pile. I remember all the bees that used to love that...

I really loved my Erector Set!

That just made me laugh out loud!

I had Prime for one year and don't really purchase that much stuff, so it wasn't a great deal for me. I'm lucky enough to still be mobile and I actually enjoy going to the grocery store to interact with people. I really disliked their video interface too. I think Netflix does a much better job...
