Barnes & Noble New eReader

I recently read an article on Barnes and Noble's new ereader that will be hitting the scene shortly.

The ereader is said to have a touch screen with a virtual keyboard. Okay, now for someone like me who hits every button while the item is sitting in my purse, this could be a good thing, as long as it has a cover or keyboard lock on it. Supposedly hte screen is in color as well, instead of the black and white Kindle.

Does the color of the screen matter to you?? For me, I'm thinking not really, if you have the option of black and white or color, that's okay, but it's not going to be a sale buster for me.

It needs to feel right in the palm of my hand and have the ease and comfort I'm looking for in order for me to buy it.

I'm curious as to how it's going to fair against Amazon's Kindle and the Sony ereader. Barnes and Noble is after all one of the biggest book sellers around.

I'm psyched that you can now log onto the Barnes and Noble website and find my ebooks!!

So tell me, what do you think?

Seasonal Allergies

My head's pounding, my nose is stopped up and I just want to close my eyes and go back to sleep.

Sound familiar? It's hit everyone in the family different, the boy is coughing up the sinus excretions (gross), the man has a headache and you've read my symptoms above.

Yeppers, it's seasonal allergies. Hate it!! It's as annoying as the damn litle lovebugs that infest Florida in the spring and now in September.

Can I close my eyes and tap my heels together three times...Go away seasonal allergies, go away seasonal allergies, go away seasonal allergies.

*Eyes peek open* DAMN it didn't work, LOL. Maybe tomorrow!

Netbooks - Any Suggestions?

Okay, so I'm in the market for a netbook.

Any suggestions out there?

I've scanned the internet, reveiwed and even tried out a few.

Sleak, A touch pad that "doesn't" move the mouse when ever your hand slides over or shadows it, no protruding battery packs and something that "WILL" last for 8 hours like advertised.

I don't need alot of garbage on it. All I need it for is picking it and my flashdrive up to go to a quiet room to write, and take with me on road trips. Maybe get on to check emails and post blogs, but that's it. All the heavy stuff will still be done on the desk top.

I've tried the Acer, it's okay, but reviews are mixed. Honey says he likes the Asus because of the textured touch pad.

I know my best bet is to just hop in the car and go to Ocala to Best Buy and try them all out.

But I want the inside scoop if any of you have it, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Sexual Style by Sign

What Your Sign Says About Your Sex Life

By JUSTINE VAN DER LEUN

Sure, we've all read about how romantic or commitment-shy each zodiac sign is -- but do you know what a person's sign says about how they feel about sex?

Who likes role-playing and who likes a bed of roses?

Who needs a long warm-up session and who's ready for take-off after a peck on the cheek?

With the help of Phyllis Vega, author of "Erotic Astrology: The Sex Secrets of Your Horoscope Revealed," we found out what your -- or your love interest's -- sign indicates about sexual style, turn-offs and turn-ons. Plus, find out which signs are sexually compatible.

Aries

Sexual Style:

Passionate and impatient, these lovers want to get down to business. They're not into wooing you with flowers and romance. They're actors, not dreamers, and they prefer a spicy, energetic romp to a drawn-out lovemaking session. "They want what they want, and they want it now," says Vega. If what they want is you, you'll have a partner dedicated to pleasing you between the sheets -- but you'd better not be into foreplay, because you're not going to get much.

Sexually Compatible Signs:

Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius

Turn-ons: Anything different; aggressive partners. "Attack!" says Vega. "Subtly is totally lost on the Aries." As is the joy of a routine: The ram gets randy when exhilarated and surprised.

Turn-offs: The same-old, same-old. Scheduling sex every Tuesday and Thursday with your Aries is a sure-fire way to bore him to death.

Kids and Reading.

As a kid I can say I was really picky about the books I chose to read and absolutely hated the ones the school said, “You need to read this.” And not only read it but talk about it and do a report on it.

Now I’m not sure about the rest of you but I hated being forced to read something that held no enjoyment or interest for me. Let’s just say I never received very good marks on those projects.

I do home school, but what I liked about the way the schools were handling the reading end of things here in Florida. Before I took my son out of public school, they let the kids choose which books they could read, in the level they’re in and there were quite a few choices.

Now as not only a home school mom, but a mom whose child has severe to profound dyslexia. I jump up and down when my son says, “Can I get a book.”

We do a program designed specifically for individuals with learning disabilities such as dyslexia to help him with his reading.

So we’re in Waldenbooks the other day and he says, ‘Can I get a book.’ Well heck yeah!!We picked up four books. Two Indiana Jones, a Japanese Manga and a book on how to draw.

So all in all it was a pretty fulfilling day of book shopping.

Some people have said to me that the Manga’s are like comic books because of all the pictures. Yeah but you know what, there’s words and words equal reading.

When he can tell me what the book was about, show me a page and read it to me. I’m one happy camper!!

So I let him choose which books he feels comfortable with and those he likes.

It puts a smile on my face when we’re in a store and he heads to the book section, looking for those Independent readers for teenagers. Hmmm, maybe that’s my next adventure. Writing a book my son can read, LOL.

If you have children, do you give them lee way in picking up that Judy Bloom or Wimpy Kid book? Or if you’re an aunty or uncle or grand parent do you pick up what you think they’d like, ask them or ask mom or dad? Or give them that gift certificate to the store and let them go?
