BH [my better half] and BRG won’t be drinking alcohol – not everyone drinks.
It’s March 19th at Floyd on Atlantic near Henry. Come!

so anyway i was just at the bank and was walking behind this like 8 foot tall rail thin dressed to the hilt obvious model. i was shocked at how everyone men and women stared at her. one girl (short, squat, loud and obnoxious lol) screams out to her “EWWWW!!!”
like meghan says, jealous is a disease.

Interesting. I wondered if it would be one of those computer type voices. It probably mispronounces words left and right. That could get annoying fast. I don’t find myself getting distracted with audiobooks, but I guess that depends on who is doing the reading and if they are any good.
I don’t usually go to parties in bars, I don’t drink alcohol but I suppose I could order a glass of seltzer.
When is it?
Snappy…just read a review and the voice is bad…its like listening to a GPS, not a real human voice. I don’t like the whole idea of audio books anyway. Too easily to get distracted.
Individual authors can allow/disallow their books on the audio feature but the reviewer said he couldn’t listen to it for more than a few minutes.
I was tempted to buy a Kindle a while back, but I thought about it and it didn’t seem useful. These days I’m into audiobooks and my Ipod serves the purpose for that. The new Kindle coming out is supposed to have a ‘text to speech’ feature, but there may be lawsuits because of cutting into the the whole audiobook market. Advocates for the blind are planning to fight for the feature if a lawsuit does commence.
I need to collect some money from a client that won’t pay my last invoice…..aaarrrggghhhh!
Dave, you beat me to it!!!
