One silver lining

[scott h]

Well it is not all bad. This morning I went to the market to buy my morning paper and halfway there I realized I forgot to put in my teeth!!!

No worries,,,,,,,,,,,,a face mask now protects my vanity

Surprised anyone still prints a paper.

Using a laptop when using the loo in the morning is inconvientent. It tends to get in the way of BUM maintenance when the business is finished

They are definitely on their last legs and seem to be getting thinner and thinnger. 

But I still find it more relaxing to sit and read the paper (even though I'm happy to read a book on my iPad or Kindle).

Since more and more printed material is going digital, bringing my laptop to the bathroom is so convenient.  However, I really miss those centerfolds.

And you can't use your laptop to wreak havoc on any cockroach that may appear while doing business.    At least you shouldn't.

Pray tell me if not to far off topic, using a tablet I had a quick look at down loading books, most seem to have a pretty hefty price tag. perhaps there is another way.

I love to read and spend hours in an around Book Store shops of which we have 3 in Bacolod, after couple of hours one is lucky to find a reasonable novel.

I have a Kindle unlimited monthly subscription because I read a lot and it's cheaper for me to download and read books without owning them because I read anywhere between about 5 and 15 books per month (I'm a quick reader).  I can have up to 10 books on 'loan' from the Kindle unlimited library at any time and I can swap them in and out at any time.  Not all of the books on the Amazon library are in the Kindle free library but in my experience most of the fiction books I read are (action, science fiction, war, spy etc).  I can rent books from my Kindle Paper white, from my laptop in a web browser, from an Android phone in the app or the browser or on an iPhone (but only from a web browser because Apple and Amazon can't agree on commission).

Free eBooks! Old out-of-copyright works. I've been reading a lot of Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling the past year. I highly recommend The Innocents Abroad and Roughing It.
