Comment on Cheap, Fast or Good – Pick Any Two by adultreference

Hi, thanks for your response. When I was blogging about cheap tablets, I meant the ones you can pick up for $100 or less. We’ve had a lot of people come into the library with these really bargain basement tablets that are nearly unusable. Sounds like you have an Amazon Fire, which is one I wouldn’t put into the “cheap” category I was talking about. You’ve got a good one there, on par with a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet.

It really comes down to what you want out of your tablet. I have a “cheap” one with which I am more than pleased. It does have the Amazon App store, even though that’s not all that important to me. (I even have Angry Birds Rio and Facebook!) I have four different e-reader apps installed (including Kindle), so I am not limited to where I can find ebooks to read. Would an iPad be fabulous? Absolutely. Will I ever have one? Probably not. I am content with what I have.

I love that stuff! Ad Nauseum no… There are shows of substance and there are inane mindless shows. The Rankin shows are great for kids and parents love ‘em too.

Comment on Super-Couponing with Jill Cataldo by JYNE

Couponing has really changed. We used to do realistic couponing in the 1970′s and 80′s. We had coupon clubs. Everybody brought unused coupons and traded coupons. So you could take free coupons from sources and get store bought ones from newspapers without spending money. OPM We would ask relatives for unused coupons. Free again. Also then we would become involved in round robins where you would put coupons in and take coupons out of a coupon train. You would ask for stamps and envelopes from dollar stores for gifts for Christmas and birthdays from relatives and then you would send away for coupons from manufacturers and use 1-800 numbers. Again free and you are using OPM . other people’s money to obtain free coupons. You could ask for a Christmas present for mutltiple subscriptions to newspapers with coupons. Again OPM other people;s money. This beats dumpster diving. Also another source of envelopes is to go to Hall marks after a huge holiday and they will give you mismatched envelopes doesn’t matter what color and they are free to use for couponing. Where there is a will there is a way. Also when you realistically coupon you aren;’t a hoarder or a person who buys stuff unneeded for charity. I am a coupon angel and tend to purchase mutltiple copies of newspapers. I take out the ones I can use and cut out the rest and give to a thrift store and they are younger and their church can use my coupons with doubling strategies and people who
have money an purchase items for the food pantry that is needed. Let the younger people in the church choose the coupons that can really be used instead of buying all this extreme couponing stuff that can’t be used or has expirtation dates. Couponing needs to be done sensibly and appropriately. You could ask for a coupon clipping service as a gift for Christmas from a relative. Again OPM.other people’s money getting what you want coupons and savings.

I loved this story. Paul Dittambl was my grandfather on my mothers side. I remember the opportunity to see several of the animals under his care.
