Hello to all the new people on my friends list! I added a dozen or so new people though the latest friending meme (still going on here if you're interested), and I'm looking forward to seeing you all on my friends list from now on

Hello there! :)

I don't own a Kindle but I'll be certain to pass the info on.

That is so incompetant and unfortunate about the sleep study. :/ All the best for your future appointment and enjoy your vacation day.

[thistle_chaser]

Hopefully someone will find the info useful. And thanks! :)

I actually don't have a kindle, although a have a kindle app on my smartphone. I usually read the books from there or from my laptop.

Do you have Amazon Prime?

[thistle_chaser]

Yeah, before I bought a Kindle, I used the app on my iPad. Unfortunately the app doesn't qualify, you need an actual, physical Kindle.

Yes, I'm a Prime person, I've had it since the beginning. I'm a lot less happy with it now though, and likely won't be renewing it.

[blue_eye]

Ok. I get the same service with Prime. I get to choose one book a month to download, but I don't have a Kindle. So maybe it is offered to Prime subscribers as well.

The only good thing about Prime is the free shipping and free book downloads. Their movies suck for the most part though. Occasionally we can find a good one (from the "free" selection, that is).

Next year, it goes up to $99, and I'll have to decide if I will keep it.

[thistle_chaser]

Did the price raise to $99 yet? If not, then you can lock in the price for another year. Buy a year as a gift, use your own email address for who it's for, and have it set to deliver the day your current membership ends. It only works for one year, but still.

Yeah, I found more good things on their free streamed TV section than movies, but still, I only used it twice total since it's been available.

The issue for me is that fewer and fewer items are covered by Prime, and there's the whole "add on" thing that restricts it further.

FFXI had a private room, but FFXIV hasn't yet. FCs can have a house, but that's a group thing instead of something you yourself own.

I'm really, really enjoying the game. It's probably the best MMO I've played yet (though I only played two previously, FFXI and WoW). I recommend activating it when you have time to play. :)

So, wait... is this MORE of the study, or do you have to use a machine from now until the surgery? (I am SO glad I avoided all this!)

[thistle_chaser]

The surgeon wants me to use the machine while in the hospital -- implied is to use it every night. I guess I probably will (if I ever get the darned thing!), but I'll probably stop once I'm all healed up after it. Supposedly it helps people heal faster, and I'm all for that.

I'm glad you did, too! This is easily the worst part of the process so far.

[thistle_chaser]

Very rude. Plus, they were supposed to call me by 10 AM this morning, and of course never did. Sigh!

And yep! One of the perks of being an adult. :D
