o/t but i have a question..i might be getting a kindle touch..i am wondering if i can get on the internet like facebook or can you only download books..and if so how do you get the books?

Yes, you can go to Yahoo and send e-mail. The problem is that the keyboard really sucks. If you have small fingers, it's a bit better, but I find it's easy to type more than one latter at a time. So a smart phone might be better to text people with than a Kindle.

Mostly, I will use the Web on the Kindle to put in bookmarks of websites I frequently go to, so I don't have to type the URL. Just hit the bookmark and start reading. But you can certainly send a short e-mail to someone, like "I'm coming late" or something like that.

From me:  I don't own a kindle but sounds like there is a regular internet browser so you can do internet stuff.  As far as getting the books, I'm sure you simply download them just as you would a song from iTunes.

I have an account set up through Amazon for my Kindle to buy books..My Kindle does not have internet stuff..but it is easy to order the books from computer or from the Kindle through Amazon...books sent and loaded within about a minute...really cool...

Love you, CBB!

Thanks again all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers for KuBear. I've started taking her to visit my son's dog each day for a while. It seems to be helping her spirits and she's perked up some. I bought some immune booster wafers online........ probably just a sales pitch but they recommend it for dogs with cancer. 

Until today, I purposely hadn't looked up anything on Stage 3 Mast Cell tumors in dogs. It wasn't a good idea. It only gave me another occasion to have a good cry and it won't change anything. She's had a good day today, and one day at a time is the only way forward.

Love you guys!

CBB - Thinking of you and Kubear.  One day at a time, as you say.
Love and strength.

Where have the years gone ?
Tonight I bought my 14.5 Granddaughter her 1st pair of heels.
She wanted patent and they had to be 4" ! Wow, do not think I could
motivate in those anymore. LOL !

These are her 1st, and it saddens me to realize she is not "my baby"
anymore in many true senses. They look great & she walked like she
was ready for the runway.

She and I share a close bond, as her Mother left her and 2 other siblings 3 yrs. ago.
Our son does great with them on his own. I help whenever I can. Will never understand
how any Mom could do this ? They are 14, 12, and 3.5. He remains alone & I can't say I blame him.
Trust would be a major issue with anyone I think ?

Next weekend we are taking all 3 Grandchildren to Pgh., overnight & staying  in a hotel, OMG (we must be nutz ?)
Gotta boast as I am proud. ....My 17 yr. old Granddaughter is the snow fairy in the  Nutcracker with the Pgh. Ballet Co.
Cannot wait to c it ! She has danced since age 2. She did not get her graceful manner from me. I am sure ! LOL

CBB~ Our gov't. NEEDS 2 spend some $$, and
find a way to make our beloved dogs live longer !
They spend ridiculous amounts on studies which are
far less important than a human love of a pet.

I have 4 dogs, & our 12.5 yr. shih tzu developed
a serious case of hypothyroidism. The meds are not doing much.
I know what is coming & I just do not think about.
Lucy is in God's hands, not mine. I cannot bear to
worry about her anymore. It makes me ill.

IMO, 8, 10, or 12 years is never long enough to have them.

I have no idea how a mother could leave her children.

YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THE DANA PRETZER SHOW, THURSDAY NIGHT AT 9PM ET. 

GUESS WHO DANA'S SPECIAL GUEST IS?

HINT 

OMG, I just saw this!  Was it Jeff Ashton?  And I missed it!   

I bought his book, but haven't taken time to sit down and read it yet.  I'm hoping to read it over the Christmas break.

Guess I'll have to listen to the podcast and see!

Got postponed from last week to this week (I believe).  I'll re-post when I'm sure which day.  It might be the 13th and it is JEFF ASHTON.
