Some day I want to do a family tree. All I know is that some butthead in my family sold our castle, and the other rich guy donated all his money to charity so his family would have to work for a living (I think that's a quote). I want to hunt their graves down and spit on them!<br /><br />Jimmy - Feeling better today. Thanks for the good wishes<br /><br />Terry - I'm not buying one either. I may someday, but I would rather have a book in hand.<br /><br />TS - I actually have heard of it, but also forgot about it. I'll have to check it out (and the book). Last funny book I read was Christopher Moore... the one about Jesus' best friend (can't remember the name). It was hilarious, the second one I tried to read was not so hilarious... some lust lizard crap I guess I have to get high to appreciate.<br /><br />Bendigo - We're all God's children, lol. I would love for people to read and like my novel, but I also want money! I'll give it to people close to me, but strangers? Nah. Strangers can fork the money over!<br /><br />Jerry - Kindle for PC for free, not a Kindle itself. But it's still cool if there's something on there that you want to read. You don't even have to leave the house! That makes me happy!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843060336452856402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921578694530617113.post-47464036214215566642010-04-29T03:13:13.601-05:002010-04-29T03:13:13.601-05:00Hmm, Kindle for free.

I Know for a fact it's there for free, and it's some of the funniest stuff.<br /><br />Also I'm guilty of regularly trolling the amazon free bins. Lot of garbage, but it's worth it for the the odd song.TS Hendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965357024150434808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921578694530617113.post-10492832041144479932010-04-28T20:25:54.114-05:002010-04-28T20:25:54.114-05:00I kind of view e-books like I do flying cars.

Not until.<br /><br />Hope you feel better, Kristy. :)Terry Toweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840835964828394622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921578694530617113.post-16468417114043216342010-04-28T20:10:37.725-05:002010-04-28T20:10:37.725-05:00I'm with you, I'd rather have a real book ...I'm with you, I'd rather have a real book in hand and as Joe said there are also good experiences to go over rather than re hash bad ones, but we all do it try to think positive and get over feeling down soon.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921578694530617113.post-45296298363887505272010-04-28T20:07:21.772-05:002010-04-28T20:07:21.772-05:00Though you'd never be able to tell it by my po...Though you'd never be able to tell it by my posts, Jane Austen is my 7th cousin.

But keep in mind you can also re-hash the good experiences as well.<br />Hang in there, kid, because I know what it is like to feel blue sometimes.

Hm...I did not know u could dl Kindle on PC either! <br />Hmmm, I do like the feel, the smell of real books though. Not sure if I can transition. I get a lot of great promos and rewards from Amazon.
