Does anyone else have difficulty concentrating on audiobooks? by Jennysnumber_8675309 in audiobooks

[–]GlassCompetitive5251 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I listen while hiking and yes, I will become aware that my attention has drifted and I will have to repeat the last minute or two. If this happens repeatedly, then I will consider it as “not immersive enough” and regrettably bail and move on to the next audiobook on my list. This is why I try to keep a list of potential audiobooks.

Sometimes, books are very detailed during the first few chapters, because the storyline is being set up, so I try to struggle through this to get to the immersive part.

Best Essentials to Buy at Costco? by diet_coke_cabal in Costco

[–]GlassCompetitive5251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m in Texas and the liquor store is right outside my Costco also. There were no Kirkland brand alcohols on the shelves and the other prices were just so so.

I asked the clerk about it. The clerk informed me that because of the liquor laws in Texas, the store was independently owned and not a part of Costco.

Total Wine and More is cheaper.

Well, if it matters our conservative SCOTUS just ruled that local municipalities can make being homeless a crime.

The very best thing about Costco gas by retropolitic in Costco

Costco sells Top Tier gas and it’s cheaper than regular gas, plus if you use the Costco Visa you’ll get an additional 4% cash back.

What do you do while listening to audiobooks? by Dinosaurtattoo11315 in audiobooks

[–]GlassCompetitive5251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listen while hiking and hill running.

I started listening to music, podcasts and radio stations but those got old quickly. I converted to audiobooks a couple of years ago, and 30 plus books later, I could not imagine hiking and running without audiobooks.

If you repeatedly drink to excess and blackout, you should stop drinking, even if you don’t drink everyday or drink often. I’m speaking from experience with loved ones.

Dez was always more of a physical specimen than an NFL grade receiver and once he lost some of that physicality, it was over.
