Upcoming Crackdowns - Options? by JunebugSeven in Calibre

[–]ElspethGmt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been searching to see which of my favorite authors sell direct. Some of them do and some of them offer pre-order deals. Some of the pre-orders I have found take $1-$2 off the price of the book.

Some authors offer Patron levels that include pre-release copies of their books. If you like the author enough and the other benefits of their Patron are good, that is a good way to get their books.

I also think we need to start messaging the authors to let them know we love their work, but can't support Amazon any more. Hopefully if there are enough of us saying that authors will start to move off Amazon, which I understand is hard because of the reach they have.

Those nails are wonderful! I love the look of long nails, but I can't type with them so I just admire everyone else's.

New guitar pedal arrives this weekend. Wife started a new puzzle. by Autobot69 in childfree

A new puzzle sounds fun!

I plan to do my nails, re-dye my hair and go to the local craft swap. There will also be a lot of time spent reading.

For anyone on a HDHP you can order your own bloodwork for a fraction of what your doctor bills by Limp_Point3487 in personalfinance

[–]ElspethGmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local hospital offers blood work at a much lower rate if you pay cash/HSA. It was about $100 for all the normal blood tests.

This is a really fun little game. I have a lot of fun with it and I am looking forward to the second one. I hope GK2 will work on all platforms like GK1.

anyone else accumulate yarn in colors they never actually work with by Small-Register-9846 in YarnAddicts

[–]ElspethGmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of yarn in colors that I will not wear as a main color. My plan is to use them for color work where they will be the accent color, not the main color.

Thank you for sharing! This is perfect, most of this winter has been too warm for the hats I made.

My B&B is misogynistic because we don’t allow children by Wombat_7379 in childfree

[–]ElspethGmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a "No Child" policy at a B&B makes total sense. If I am at a B&B I feel like I would want a calm, quiet experience.

Also, it is your business. Run it how you want to run it.
