kindle question

Tourist Trap by Agilebrit
4 days ago my kindle froze. It had been on the charger for 3 hours the light was green but restarting wouldn't get it to leave the  wall paper screen. I called amazon and they walked me through restart again. When that didn't work they offered me a replacement no problem. I left the old one plugged in without really thinking about  it and overnight it started working. It doesn't seem to be holding a charge for more than a couple hours so it broken just not unusable. So here's my question do continue using the old one until it dies or deregister it and pass it on to my nephew with full disclosure?

Dresden vs BtVS spoilers everywhere

harry by beanbeans
I was re-reading Side Jobs the other day and afterwards I ran across some Twilight snark. It occured to me that the vampires in BtVS almost seem as silly as Edward & co when compared to the Dresden ones. When it comes to tragic forbidden love Thomas beats them all and the black and red courts are much scarrier than any Big Bad.  Even the Susan/Harry thing plays out more "really tragic" [ mostly bc of the kid imo.] than either B/S or B/A. Maybe because highschool has been taken out of the equation and all parties in DF are adults?

Big Thanks!

To [info]missmurchison for the v gift to planned parenthood and to the anon person who gave me two month paid lj time.

Mother's Day

Tourist Trap by Agilebrit
One reason I miss my mom is she would introduce me as her daughter the Trekker in that puzzled but proud way I imagine a mom at a pride parade might have. She thought geek was cool long before it was just because it was me. She didn't get Trek , but I know she would've been an even bigger Spuffy fan than me with her Elvis and James Dean obsession and love of horror movies. she's adore BtVS.

A I'm sorry I couldn't always see then how much she loved and supported me. I posted before by the time I stopped being a teenaged girl she needed me to be one of her caretakers. This led to friction and looking back I think my teen and tweenties year old self could've handled it better. I often thought we hated each other when what we hated the situation; two people in cronic pain one on really strong drugs and the other on nothing but OTC sucking it up.

Eye doctor: I'm sorry but I think lined bifocals will work best for you.
Me: You really think I'm worried? I use a quad-cane how much older can a line on glasses make me look?

Also, I didn't get to dazzle him with my amazing atlernating wandering eyes because he has a son with spastic CP.

My dad moved I white rose a few years ago. What was left behind of the root regrew the blooms darkest burgandy I've ever seen. It must have been grafted.

Help Us Support Planned Parenthood

Note from me: I was initially suspicious about this, since the notice below doesn't say how much of one's V-gift donation actually goes to Planned Parenthood. But I found the answer in the original post's comments: 100%. All the money you spend to shower your friends with Planned Parenthood v-gifts will go to Planned Parenthood.

For those of you who don't approve of Planned Parenthood, your response is easy: Don't buy one of these. None of your LJ subscription money goes to PP. If you'd rather donate an equivalent amount to an adoption charity, or another organization providing inexpensive or free medical assistance, please do; all charity organizations are hurting for funds in this economy.

Join us in standing up for reproductive health and education. Planned Parenthood, the organization that delivers reproductive health care, sex education and information to millions of people worldwide, has come under fire in the U.S. lately, with many politicians on both state and federal level seeking to end funding (and in a few cases succeeding).

During the month of May, you can send a specially designed Planned Parenthood vgift to your friends to help support this cause. (And if you need someone to send it to, [info]frank is always happy to receive gifts!) There are three variations ($1, $5 and $10) for you to choose from, but they'd all look good on your profile when your friends know that you stand by something so important.

                    

Thank you all for your help in our support for Planned Parenthood. This promotion ends June 1, 2012; LiveJournal is not affiliated with Parent Parenthood. For more information about Planned Parenthood, please visit: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

If I'm going to get the CYA fic done I need a hand to hold. I have just over 1000 words and I don't know if they are crappy ones and I'm not sure where to go with it. It's already late but I'm determined to get it done and not have it half-assed. Anybody out there want to give what I have a read and crit for content? Let me bounce some story ideas off them?

Last post of the year for this

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers sent our way. His blood pressure is too low and he still isn't himself but his lungs are clearer.

I got stuck in the rain last night without a jacket and my muscles are really stiff and sore today. I can't sit here for long so I'll post a better update another day.
