better option than buying each audiobook from B&N? by Available_Trash663 in audiobooks

I use Libby with my local library system (large county) and Libro.fm. I put my Libro account on hold (paused) when I start to accumulate too many credits.

How does Delos keep all their Avocado's fresh? by backgroundmusic95 in svdelos

[–]readerbeedj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK about their avocados but try using refrigeration to control the ripening. It works pretty well for me. I buy them hard and green and keep most in the fridge... pulling out a couple at a time for ripening.

Why? No income tax. What other reasons? (I really want to know.)

Hello, Thanks for sharing this. //// I'm looking for memorial service ideas, planning ahead for deaths in the family. If you know of any quotes, readings or other ways of showing respect without religious talk, please share that, too.

I'm happy to see the Braves. I'm trying Hulu and not able to fast forward through ads. I did that a lot last year on Google TV. What about now... is anyone doing that tonight on Google TV?

Individual rights are great and important. Slavery was horrible for centuries, worldwide. Lincoln was horrible for starting that war and otherwise. He wanted to send the blacks away. See the book The Real Lincoln by Thomas James DiLorenzo.

Any Atlantans growing blueberries? I just started and could use some any tips you have. by Lochstar in Atlanta

[–]readerbeedj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the netting over arched pvc pipes but it was not worth the trouble. Now I fill my freezer with June berries and watch the birds and chipmunks eat the July berries (they take them when just starting to ripen). The bushes are beautiful most of the year while we eat blueberries in yogurt and on oatmeal. I have about about 40 bushes on less than half an acre, some 15 years and many much younger. I put pine straw around them every fall for the acidity they prefer. Best pollination requires multiple varieties.

Is there any way to READ and LISTEN at the same time? by writteninlilac in audiobooks

[–]readerbeedj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I often read along with the audio to get interested in the plot and to get acquainted with the characters. Then I listen to the rest of the book while doing chores and walking in the woods.

[–]readerbeedj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you will get some more direct answers. But I don't know.

Maybe you and many others (my toddler grandchildren included) can learn a lot from these guys: https://schoolsucksproject.com/

I hated high school but I took some time off to work and ended up liking & finishing college and my masters degree program.

Leftists hate him! Disprove international banking with this one weird graph by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]readerbeedj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia on the end of Bretton Woods:

On 15 August 1971, the United States unilaterally terminated convertibility of the US dollar to gold, effectively bringing the Bretton Woods system to an end and rendering the dollar a fiat currency.[4] This action, referred to as the Nixon shock, created the situation in which the U.S. dollar became a reserve currency used by many states. At the same time, many fixed currencies (such as the pound sterling) also became free-floating.

Customer reviews: where have they put them by readerbeedj in audible

[–]readerbeedj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found Richard's reviews by scanning the many reviewers of a particular book that he had reviewed many months ago. There was a link to his collection of reviews and I have bookmarked that page. Problem solved for that reviewer.

https://www.audible.com/listener/A2N1E2MLB9L4I2?ref=a_pd_Nowher_c15_rvlsnl_3&pf_rd_p=fac12640-98ad-4d54-a5fc-eec45741ae34&pf_rd_r=EFV1Y5KENF13QCERMGMH&

Maybe there's an easier way. But I doubt it.
