Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for February 04, 2016

Well, he does seem to have a conscience.

Hey, is everybody sleeping around here?

(grumble grumble) Off I go…..

OK, Tony wants to know…“Do you still use books?”

Of course I do, Tony.There’s one under this chair cushion right now, to make it higher.

@TonyUse books?I’ve got used books all over the place. Forty nine feet of shelving for paper backs, fourteen feet of hardback, not to mention boxes and boxes of books waiting for me put up shelves.

Wow, X … you’re gonna need all those??

Didn’t know you had that many worn out chair cushions!

Rats! Forgot something…. now I gotta go all the way back…..just to fetch this:

The new Avant Gauche:

Where is that Bev, anyhow?

QOTDAhem, I have an eReader. Hi, Susan, I haven’t talked to you in,,,,,,,,,,,an hour. lol

QOTD: All the time, had an ereader for awhile but now all I do with is play games and read comics.

Do you still use books?

I use pliers, hammers, screwdrivers, and sometimes, a fork. I enjoy books.

You read books while you are driving? Wow, that’s different. Normally it is people reading their newspaper or texting.

Yes, and I read them too. And not the kindle version.

I don’t know about you, but it’s hard for me to turn the pages without spilling my coffee in the car. And don’t get me started about all of the rude drivers honking at me.

Do I read books? Yes I do and once I read an entire novel while driving home from work….I worked on an island and one year DOT built a new bridge and reworked the intersection to the bridge. It would take me over 2 hours to just get off the island.(A normally 10 minute drive) I would sit in the grid lock and read…slowly inching up every few minutes or so. It took them two months to completely finish the intersection and the bridge was not the bridge I needed to get. The new bridge was coming from the main line and I needed to go across another bridge going in the opposite direction to another island.

@TonyI am an insatiable bookworm. I currently have a book on the go in the living room, one in the bathroom, and one in the bedroom.

Hubby had an e-reader and got tired of it. We are both insatiable readers. Books everywhere. Only purchase a few, mostly get them from the library, which does keep them from piling up. We never go anywhere without a book in purse or pocket, and we take “good” magazines (Discover, Smithsonian, etc.) to leave behind when we visit nursing homes and hospitals.

What do I say that sounds “off”. Lots of things. Sometimes an idea sounds really good when I think it, but I open my mouth and let it fall on he floor for all to hear…well, let’s say it needs to be reworked.

I’m reading a library book at the moment. They network with all the libraries in this area so if they don’t have a book, they can find it for you. I, too, have a tablet and get e-books from the library and once a month I get a free e-book from Amazon. I also have a bookcase full of used paperbacks from prowling the used book stores. Long Live Books!!

You have no idea how many things I write here…..and then don’t hit “submit”.I think I erase more than I post.

I have dead tree books as well as a Kindle and a reading app on my phone. I’m never without something to read.

What do you say that sounds “a bit off”?

Swell…

QOTD:Do school textbooks count? But on a more serious note (I mean, seriously, who actually reads the textbooks assigned?), I love reading when I make the time. And I prefer a good ol’ physical copy (paperback or hardcover, don’t care), but the Kindle and iBooks apps are nice for trips. Currently in the middle of “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and “Again to Carthage”, with plenty more on the shelf.

Yes I read books. Both hand held and ebooks..JPI put on my tenny runners to walk my poopy dog. Every now and again I get an itch scratch on my back that I can’t reach.
