One more Kindle question re: audio books...
Holly in FL replied to Holly in FL's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Oh good! Thanks! ~Holly -
My hubby listens to audio books on his little MP3 before bed many nights. He mostly uses LibriVox. Has anyone downloaded audio books on their Kindle from LibriVox or any other site? I'm wondering if the voice is the actual download...or, if Kindle has it's own "voice." Do you like the audio feature? Any other opinions or info? Thanks! ~Holly

I was considering buying a Kindle 3G for my hubby for his birthday...but, there are quite a few lower reviews on Amazon regarding problems. I understand that I have to put it into perspective here...out of 13,000 reviews...only 1200+ are a 1-3 star. However, I'd like some opinions from anyone here who has one. I have three friends that have the Wi-Fi...but, not the 3G and they love theirs. Of course, I haven't asked if they've had any problems since I hadn't really done any research on them till recently. Thanks! ~Holly

If you have a Juno e-mail account...
Holly in FL replied to Holly in FL's topic in General Education Discussion Board
No, she is not getting "reply" responses from me. No, I don't have a typo. She has had the same e-mail address since she got a computer...and, I have it saved in my address book. it's the same one I always use. I have asked her to check her spam and trash folders...but, I'm not sure she knows how to do that. Thanks! ~Holly -
Do you ever have issues getting e-mails from people? My aunt has a Juno e-mail account...and, in the past 2-3 weeks...she has not been getting any of my e-mails. However, she can send them to me and I receive them. We can't figure out if the issue is on our end or her end. My other friends and family members are getting everything I send, but they do not have Juno accounts. Any help? Thanks! ~Holly

I made them last year frying them in oil on top of the stove. It was a bit of a mess, but my family sang my praises for days! They still ask me when I'm going to make them, again! Here is the recipe I used: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/A-Plus-Fair-Corn-Dogs/Detail.aspx Make sure to read the tips / reviews on using a cup for dipping the hot dogs...cutting the hot dogs in half before dipping, etc. Also, I followed someone's suggestion about rolling the dogs in flour (or corn starch) before dipping. Also, I did not use as much oil as was called for in the recipe. ~Holly

R&S grammar book 7, lesson 77 question
Holly in FL replied to Colleen in NS's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
I hope someone can answer this...because I was thinking of moving on to R&S after FLL. Is this the first time you have found "unexplained issues" like this? ~Holly -
Spelling help for my 6th grader
Holly in FL replied to jcross222's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Yes. Since I was starting the program with my girls, also...I decided it would be easier to do it with all three of them at the same time. Also, I knew my son needed to start at the beginning to get all the spelling rules. I told him the first level was going to be very easy for him...but, he needed the foundation for the program. I think the fact that he was very successful with the first level helped his confidence, also. If I had been doing it with just him, I think we would have finished that first level in one month. It took closer to two months since I was also doing it with my younger girls. I have a feeling there will come a time when I have to move forward with him and slow it down for my girls...but, we'll see. I hope that helps! ~Holly -

Lego Harry Potter Diagon Alley?
Holly in FL replied to Holly in FL's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Thanks! I had forgotten about checking Amazon. ~Holly -
Does anyone know if Target will be carrying the Lego Harry Potter Daigon Alley set? I've asked at our local Target store...plus, I even called Lego to ask. Target had no idea...and, the Lego rep said, "...(pause)...MAYbe. However, we can't assure you their price would not be higher than the Lego On-line Store." Now, to me...that pause with the "maybe" answer meant "yes." But, I could be reading into his answer. I know Target carried all the other sets... ?? Does anyone know for sure? I just hate spending the money on shipping if Target will carry it for the same price. My son is chomping at the bit to get that set! Thanks! ~Holly

Knitting projects help me deal with stress
Holly in FL replied to CalicoKat's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I completely agree! Knitting, sewing, crocheting... Sitting down at the piano is also a great stress reliever for me. ~Holly -
Help Me Find Another Phrase!
Holly in FL replied to cdrumm4448's topic in General Education Discussion Board
What bugs me most when I use a phrase like SAHM...is that people have actually come back with, "Oh, so you don't work." Grrrr!! ~Holly -
