Books, E and A to Z

I finished my first e-book yesterday.  Then lost the free ebook I downloaded from Google.  Found it tonight, but it vanished again.  I tried downloading it again, and it opens, but then vanishes when I go to another book, so I just downloaded it as a html web file.  We will see if that works. I have downloaded two more books to read this weekend.  One is a book I remember Betty telling me  about, The Warmth of Other Suns and one is S***t my dad says, which is humorous stories.  That should last me through the weekend.  I am really liking getting books without going to the library, however, it was harder to find something I wanted to read this time.  After a week or two, I will probably  be like Patsy and not find anything new to read.  If Helen will tell me her numbers, I will see if  her library has more books.

Speaking of Patsy, I went to the library thingy tonight about the library 2 go training.  They are supposed to find out what is wrong with error 710 or 701 or whatever and get Patsy out of jail.  I told them I googled and found the same thing they said about wait awhile posted several times as an answer to this error, but I did not find even one person that then said, 'Thanks, I waited a day and it is working now.'

I got the Dugard book from Betty in the mail yesterday, and read it last night.  I really did not mean to stay up and read the entire thing, but I did.  It was interesting, sad, but interesting.

Tomorrow, I am going to get a permanent because my hair looks like a dry haystack.  Then, either tomorrow or Saturday I will go get the babies.  I will give them the box of clothes and cars Helen sent and they will think it is all from me.  I got Hannah some jewelry instead of toys.

Next week, I am going to get George back on the cabinets and get the bar fastened down.  Then, the next weekend we can see about ordering countertops.  We may shop around for countertops instead of ordering  them right away, because I do not really have any one one thing in mind as to what I want.

Off to bed now.  Have to get up one more day and go to work then two days off to play with the babies and read books.  I can't get anything much done when they are here, not even reading books.

Error 710

I googled Overdrive library software error 710 and found several people asking about this error message [like the one that put Patsy in electronic jail].  The answer was always the same: Wait, Wait, don't do that...



When I tried to return an ebook early, I got an error message: Early Return Error" (error 710)
There is a limit to the number of ebooks that can be returned early within a short period of time. The lock out time depends on how early and how many titles have been returned early in that short period of time.  Patrons will have to wait a day or so for the lock out to end. They should still be able to check out Audiobooks.

I really like the library ebook reading so much more than I thought I would.  Patsy said most of the books she wanted to read were not available.  I can find more available that I want to read in the ebook list than I can at the actual library.  I am sure that is because no one else wants to read the books that I read.

Work in Progress

January 2009, before any redo on kitchen or floor.  This was during the ice storm when we had no electricity, but it was always dark and gloomy even with electricity.

April 6, 2010, we removed all the cabinets.

A few days later,we painted everything white.  It looked better this way to me than it did with the old kitchen.

One year and 5 months later, September 11, 2011, not completely done, but much closer.  I am very pleased so far.  The microwave / stove vent hood looks very professionally installed.  There is just a small piece of pipe yet to go above the cabinet for the vent and then the vent will be done.  He is going to make a false front above the cabinets here to go all the way to the ceiling and make it look better.  It has all gone better than I expected and looks great.  Gilbert was a big help in getting the microwave installed.  It is nice to have brothers that know a thing or two.
