I talked to a lady who was using one on a recent flight to Japan. She told me she buys e-books on Amazon for about 70% the physical book price.<br /><br />Seems like it's not so easy to get news and magazines on the kindle. It will read pdf files though.<br /><br />If you end up taking the plunge andd buying one, do let us know if you are satisfied. Seems like it's missing a lot of features for me. <br /><br />If you could store and cache webpages while tracking other links you will check out later then the value would go up dramatically.<br /><br />-MikeMike H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-24009180661085326402009-05-09T08:28:00.000+01:002009-05-09T08:28:00.000+01:00As long as you are using the stuff you have ,its i...As long as you are using the stuff you have ,its important stuff.The minute you stop using stuff you have ,than it's just a storage problem .

Sometimes he visits them and brings things home to lay in the garage and pretend he's young again; like his canteen. Just like a dog does with an old rag. Sure, he's really going to get up early one morning and drive out to the desert to collect rocks. He's 70. He can't even get up before 9. That canteen just lays there. He buys cold cuts and cookies in preparation for the packed lunch for the rock collection trip, then he eats it all before dinner. <br /><br />I have 2 cars paid off, one property paid off, and CD's spread out all over the West Coast; no store rooms. No stuff.

All of Nazareth fit on about ten acres of land. There were no public buildings. There were no paved roads. There were no sewers. Half the population would have died in childbirth. Of those that survived, average life expectancy was thirty-something. No one in Nazareth was dressing for success. They would have one set of clothing, and the best they could hope for was to avoid dying or falling into debt.<br /><br />"And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate."<br /><br />Smug BastardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-60776071705169750152009-05-08T13:37:00.000+01:002009-05-08T13:37:00.000+01:00Jesus's life impact split history in two Ghandi no...Jesus's life impact split history in two Ghandi not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-85769863061480150342009-05-08T13:17:00.000+01:002009-05-08T13:17:00.000+01:00Keith,

The key is to find someone who will take a little extra cash or a six pack of beer and then let you skate by. I'm sure you'll find that person with a little effort.<br /><br />We are born into this Earth with nothing and will leave with nothing. Collecting stuff and wealth is nothing more than a game and a waste of time. <br /><br />However the game feels very real. I remember when I was working for a recently public company 10 years ago in the dot com bubble- I became a paper millionaire in unvested options. I didn't change my lifestyle but found myself obsessing over the money. I literally couldn't sleep. Well the stock crashed and my paper wealth became worthless. I could sleep again.<br /><br />Maybe that's why we shouldn't worry about obama spending like a chump. We'll all be broke in the end. Who cares. Nothing to lose. Easy to sleep every night!<br /><br />-MikeMike Huntnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-60980718396348282352009-05-08T06:24:00.000+01:002009-05-08T06:24:00.000+01:00my lifestyle gives me the luxury of leisure time. ...my lifestyle gives me the luxury of leisure time.

Never spent more than 300 bucks on a TV, my eyesight sucks so why do I need HD? Bought our furniture at garage sales, auctions, or fire sales. Might actually have to replace 20 year old kitchen table if anyone is selling one cheap. We do have a motocross addiction, and my 16 year old and I are starting to bring back a mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 to go road racing with. Bought the MX bikes used off friends for cash, same with the car. Travel to the races in a 79 winnebego I bought for 900 bucks. Having just as much fun as my buddy and his 100k outlaw motorhome. Go to the jersey shore 2 times a year and hang out on my buddies boat(it's great to have friends with boats) Go to the poconos for 2 snowboard trips a year(stay in friends pocono cottages cheap). Wife goes on the occasional shopping spree, but only when things are 60% off or better. Never pay retail for anything. Very little credit card debt. The debt we do have is business related not consumer debt. Biggest mistake I made was opening a used car lot. I have to be here 50 hours a week and not making much money. Made enough off rental property to support lifestyle, and realize I need family time back so looking to get out of car business over next 6 months. Possesions mean nothing to me other than the toys that allow me to spend precious time playing with the kids. We live in a keep up with the jones' type neighborhood and APPEAR to be the poor white trash of the neighborhood, but I'm sure have a much higher net worth and without a doubt enjoy life to the fullest.

He was a type of a cult leader. Granted, his Pakistan-founding sidekick, Jinnah, had millions of actual Pound Sterling, Parisian suits, and a virtual harem, but that was needed for him to get his political leverage, during the British departure, whereas Gandhi did it based upon a cult of personality.<br /><br />Now, as for the average guy, he's clearly no hypnotist and/or world leader therefore, needs to show something for women to be attracted to him. But I say.. if a guy's got some cash and isn't trying to be a political leader, don't bother with women at all. Spend that money on Australian or South American brothels and enjoy yourself, drama-free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
