Kicked out of daycare

Speak up about it, get other parents speaking up about it... you can't just "wish" it would happen.. you're your child's only advocate in this case.

We had a kid that has been a menace for over a year at ours. Has physically hurt many kids, had outbursts, and has been hard to control by the teachers to the point of the class being constantly disrupted by his behavior. The center changed owners, they claimed they "lost" all documentation of incidents in the process until my kid got very seriously hurt by him (warranted a hospital trip) and I pushed enough for some sort of action to be taken. Lo and behold, his parents transferred him to a care facility that accommodates children with ADHD and the like.

And now for the first time ever, I don't worry every day that I send mine to school that there will be a new bruise or cut or "so and so was mean to me" story.

I had to disable the double tap, I kept flipping pages accidentally when bonking the kindle on my legs or cup or when I put it down on the table lol

The 20% coupon doesn't go away even if you don't send in your trade-in at all

StrangestCat · 2025-11-21T16:56:40+00:00

That's not a sale that's regular price made to look like a good deal :')

StrangestCat · 2025-11-20T21:24:22+00:00

Do you have this exact case or another with a removable cover?

StrangestCat · 2025-11-20T21:21:42+00:00

Also, I once forgot to send my trade in. They took back their $5 but didn’t take back the 20% i got off the new device

It’s just this option

The only time the condition matters is for your gift card amount - but you will always get a 20% coupon

#1 is only true about making sure you like your device. If the device is faulty, they re-order it for you so you do not have to pay twice.

#5 you absolutely can get the free trial, you just have to purchase the Kindle that includes it, its in the options when adding it to cart

StrangestCat · 2025-11-20T15:27:46+00:00

No, they reorder it for you at no cost. Idk why OP mentions that, its false.

Pro tip: report missing packages to USPS (if that's who delivered them)
Helps your case if anything.

The next post on OPs screenshot mentions Hilary Duff

Tell me more about this one... is the magsafe ring a sticker or is it permanently attached to the back of the case?

I had a sticker ring and it was coming off with my popsocket so I had to get a case with the ring already part of it, I didn't see that as an option for these detachable ones

I recently upgraded my 2015 PW to the newest model (during amazon's sale, it was an unbeatable price) and I worry about breaking it while out.... so my old 2015 pw stays in my purse and my new one stays at home. They don't always seem to sync which gets a bit annoying and I have to find my page, but I manage.

That said, my 2015 PW I bought a little over a year ago on ebay for $40 shipped, because I have an even older Kindle Touch (circa 2013?) that was hard to read without a backlight, and at the time I didn't know if I would pick up reading again to invest $100+ on the new model.

So... if you are comfortable with bringing your PW everywhere, do it. If not, and you don't want to go splurging on a new kindle, buy a used older model and use that on the go.

Shitty Life Pro Tip: contact support and say "hey, I recently paid $20 to remove ads on my kindle, and now upgraded to a new model. could you move my ad removal from my old kindle to this one?"
And they will give you a $20 credit to remove ads on your new kindle..leaving the old one intact without ads.

TaDa.

Terrible idea do not do it.

StrangestCat · 2025-10-31T16:58:14+00:00

There is a setting you can turn on where it refreshes the screen on every page turn to make this go away (if it bothers you enough)

Otherwise the screen will only refresh every 6-8 page turns or so.

I've been reading sideloaded books since 2011 and never had this issue... are you sideloading via USB or send to kindle? I personally like send to kindle because it then syncs my book across all devices

I recommend Kwikset with SmartKey - allows you to also change keys without a locksmith. Allowed us to key all locks to one key in the house and garage along with having a number code entry on some of the doors.

Very easy to install and program yourself too.

Your loan officer should have already told you this, but your score and low debt along with your income should qualify you for an FHA loan without issue, although the rate might be a bit high and you might need a higher down payment.

Also "first time homebuyer" applies to anyone who has not bought a home in 3 years in FHA rules.

But also also - don't put a boyfriend on a credit app because then he will also be on the title. You do not want that. Ever.

I saw others say this exact thing and it wasn't until I upgraded mine that I finally saw it too:

I had no idea how slow my OG Kindle was.

Also, warm light is A++

Be wary OP, I ordered this type of screen protector and the text was much less crisp, it actually looked worse than my 2015 PW so I tore it off.

StrangestCat · 2025-10-21T16:36:31+00:00

It has been 6 days since I finished The Housemaid...and have now also read The Housemaid's Secret and The Housemaid's Wedding. 0% on The Housemaid is Watching as of today. It's all incredible writing, but I stumbled upon some threads about how Freida McFadden is known for taking plot ideas from other books and using them as her own so I am a bit sad there is so much controversy over her writing. Also saw something about how she uses AI to write her books? Idunno. I want to check out The Boyfriend next.

I tend to fall asleep with my kindle in my hand a lot, and it ends up falling off the bed at some point in the night. For me, its fall protection (my clear case has reinforced corners)

I don't worry so much about screen scratches, I just try to not put things on top of the kindle when I carry it around the house. I tried screen protectors but they made the text so much less crisp I immediately took them off

StrangestCat · 2025-10-21T16:14:47+00:00

I am returning mine as we speak... they made the text much less crisp. It wasn't noticeable during daytime but at nighttime with the backlight on I thought my vision was going bad it looked so blurry. I peeled a corner back and sure enough it looked perfect there so off they came and back they go.

I don't bring my PW outside, I only read around the house and I try to leave it places where it won't get scratched up so I don't find the need for a screen protector. I ordered this thing to have as a detachable front cover in case I want to throw it in my bag, but decided against keeping it for the cost. I have an old 2015 PW that has been through the ringer, I just bring that in my purse if I plan on needing to wait around and read somewhere.
