I suppose by now Cubby has arrived -- those last few days are the worst. The day mine was supposed to arrive, we had our first blizzard of the season (live in South Dakota) -- everything was shut down, INCLUDING all all shipping and postal services. Arghhhh. Two days later I finally was able to pick up my sweet little package. It will be so worth it when your cubby arrives!
Woohoo, Tippy! That must have been so hard to wait....read your intro--you're in Western SD, right? Like so many people, I've only been to the Black Hills, Mt Rushmore and the Corn Palace in SD, and that was in August, so no snow! Betsy |

Hope this next Kindle will be the perfect unblemished fully functional device that we all love and enjoy. If you like the flawed one, I think you will really love perfect one.

Uh-ho ... another morning delivery like the last Kubby. Oh well, I'm at work and won't get home until early afternoon. I will explore my new arrival very thoroughly, to see if it speaks WN, unlike the last one. If it speaks WN, I know this is the real Cubby.
I'll let you know more later this afternoon.

Maybe it's not your real UPS guy. Maybe he is some stooge trying to sour you on the full Kindle experience.

Amazon must have paid the ransom to the pirates for you to get the "for real" kidnapped Cubby so soon!! Can't wait to hear how it goes. You and Cubby deserve to have a wonderful reunion!! And, you're right... there is nothing like reading on our Kindles..... I can't get enough of it!! That's part of the reason that so many of us are reading MUCH more than we ever did with DTBs. My eyes don't get tired reading on MaKK and I just totally get lost in my books so that time just flies by! I find myself cutting non-necessary things out of my life to make more time for Kindle reading.... like shoveling snow. It will melt eventually.... won't it?? Let us know how the real Cubby is!!!!

From the TV Quiz Show "To Tell the Truth" ...
#1 stands and says, "I'm the real Cubby."
#2 stands and says, "I'm the real Cubby."
#3 stands and says, "I'm the real Cubby."
After probing questions, the host says, "Will the real Cubby please stand."
And yes, we have a real Cubby. So that's how Whispernet is supposed to work. This is much better than the fake Cubby. The real Cubby is a little shaken. He has tales to tell about Somalian pirates, and Columbian Drug Lords, and Illinois Governors, but all seems to be working fine.
Yeah, the real Cubby is safe and sound. We'll leave Bruinboy and Cubby alone for awhile ... this has been a emotional day for both. They are so happy finally to be together.

I love HAE*
Great story, Bruinboy. So glad the real Cubby is with you and that imposter Kubby is going back to wherever he came from.
*Happy Ever After

Happy After Ever? LOL!  I'm glad the real Cubby showed up. I'm sure I saw this movie before though... Invasion of the Kindle Snatchers? Betsy |

Has Cubby arrived yet? The day my baby was to arrive we had a huge blizzard in western South Dakota -- closed everything down for a day and a half -- didn't think I'd ever get to hold my precious! Hope Cubby has arrived safely and you are enjoying!

BB.... your sense of humor in your posts makes me laugh out loud!! I had completely forgotten about that TV show....... And.. Somalian pirates, Columbian Drug Lords and Illinois Governors..... it might be a toss-up which of the horror stories will be the worst. Thank goodness the real Cubby is home now and will be able to recover from his nightmare experiences by being with you for the rest of his Kindle life. Best wishes to you both!! |

OK, Cubby and I are heading to bed together ... so the rest of the evening is just between me and Cubby.
I will tell you, however, that I ordered my first One-Click book tonight to see if it worked. Worked like a charm.
What's that, Cubby? I'll be right there. I'm just saying goodnight to my friends.
Good night.
Cubby, stop that!!!!!!
