Re: Bloopers - 2

Huh? I do not know who or what you are pointing at here, but I'll give it a go under the last person talking option. Roosters, they should surely punctuate many an audiobook, inserting at least a few of their most pertinent bulletins using timing skills only roosters seem to have. If there is a tot...

Re: Bloopers - 2

good name for a cat, but it's still just a cat. Chickens outrank cats. chickens will give you brand new food to eat. Cat's culinary efforts are well known. I haven't noticed any chicken bloopers yet, making me believe chickens are better mannered than cats and kids, planes and trains.

Re: If you read too much, you will also die. apparently.

chained to a fence there's not much selection in the way of books, and several half read ones in her house, is it like korean dramas, where you get so caught up you'd just die of over-excitement if you don't get closure ? can't bear to live without knowing what happens in the garden with the tree hi...

If you read too much, you will also die. apparently.

La Crosse, Wisconsin, April 1905, Bertha Childs is a young lady who read too much, her father chains her to a fence while he goes into the field to do his farm-work, leaving her chained like an animal to prevent her hurting herself. She's become an imbecile due to overstudy weakening her mind. Her f...

Re: Tell a joke

Austin Powers: The Spy Who..is a movie I was reminded of in a great re-do I saw, and will give you a giggle every time you see this on the news from now on. The Austin powers movie is PG-13 btw, so be warned, the video about the new rocket I saw is the same and uses the same footage and once you've ...

Re: Some music with "LibriVox" vocals

I like the marine feeling I get reminded of in parts of the first one, I like the 1,500 it sounds bladerunner in parts. On it's own I like it. It's awesome to see more work made from public domain (PD) sources, I hope to see more. Are your works released under a particular license, or different lice...

Re: Should Readers Warn the Proof Listener?

Trigger warning on this reply: old person who talks a LOT. One also has to remember that language evolves through time—including what is considered offensive. you'd be surprised perhaps to know just how old most of our popular offensive language words are. They are old, like really old, like thousan...

Re: [CHILDREN'S FICTION] The Black Buccaneer by Stephen W Meader -jo

You're welcome, and I wouldn't worry about it. It's all systems go as it is, it works. It's entertaining. So eventually either it'll fix itself or you'll work out why, or your system will be replaced or upgraded for other reasons and the problem will disappear. As a result of this and the passage of...

Sorry I'm so slow, you're welcome, and again, Sorry I'm so slow. I don't have access to the magic window, no. I think there's a co-ordinator who does that sort of thing. I have been distracted and going slow, that's for sure. In regards to the tinny-ness, yes I can hear it as I have mentioned before...

Re: Advice how to get back to reading?

could be a lifestyle thing. if there is a bus trip and you can't use electrical power, a book works. You can only start reading once the bus is onto the highway or you'll get carsick. thats why if there is a movie for all in the bus it doesn't start until the highway. Turns while watching a screen =...

Re: If you stop reading, you will DIE, (not actually clickbait)

I'd really enjoy reading the science supporting this. Maybe even recording it, if it's in the public domain. :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll try to look for a really really really long scientific study in several volumes. In print only!!!

If you stop reading, you will DIE, (not actually clickbait)

You have time to read, it's true. Make time to read a book. Only books will do. It will make you live longer than if you do not read books. News, magazines, phones, do not count. Just reading actual books makes you live longer. Obviously you have to die at some stage, and if reading makes you live l...
