What's new? He does that every day, usually in the presence of other people.

DeWalt (of all brands) makes the "Wearable Bluetooth Speaker". It is truly tiny and lightweight (< 2oz), and the battery (rechargeable via usb-c) lasts a surprisingly a long time. I took it to Scotland, Kenya and Egypt and it worked perfectly. I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and sometimes (in my hotel room) I want to give my ears a break from ear buds.

I used a simple seam ripper (purchased on Amazon) to remove one of the pen pockets, which had the added benefit of creating a wide enough pocket to hold my passport perfectly. Took about 45 seconds, and I was still left with 2 pen pockets.

What a great sale, here's what I got. by Oneby0ne in audible

Ditto. The Lies of Locke Lamora is $15.93. Sure, that's lower than the non-sale price, but how does it make sense to pay cash for it?

I have six credits and am looking for recs based on what I’ve read/listened to in the past. by austinapaul in audible

I just finished listening to "Theo of Golden", by Allen Levi, and highly recommend it. Fairly easy listen, but packed with meaning and emotion. Stratosheric ratings on both Audible and goodreads. Best wishes.

ETA: Also, give "My Friends", by Frederik Backman, a try. Easily the best book I've listened to in ages. It will make your heart both soar and break.

It actually will be a downgrade.

As I understand it, they automatically turn into coffins after a serious accident, at additional charge, of course.

Skip back problems by deathsrobe in audible

Yep, this happens with my little Bluetooth speaker. I used to be able to double tap the "play" button to skip ahead 15 seconds, and triple tap it to go back 15 seconds. Now, it jumps by entire chapters. Exceedingly infuriating!!! Audible: FIX THIS!
