I like the Free Brooks app alright. The inital app is a couple of dollars and then you have access to over a thousand titles unlimited for free. Most are pre-1930. A lot of classic stuff. The one thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't provide book summaries. While browsing the books, you only get the author and title, so you have to go online for further info on the book which is really inconvenient. I like the mystery genre and I downloaded a book, was well into it and then realized it was going to be about some stolen jewels which doesn't intrigue me at all, so I didn't care to finish it. I don't like the lack of summaries at all.

I don't have an iPhone, but this is my what's on my Touch: I mainly got it for the calculator, though.

Thanks for the tips. I watered some of the more vulnerable trees/shrubs last night. I hope it was enough. If I had a weather machine it would be a lovely 65-85 degrees in Houston year round.

I have a pygmy date palm that got burned in the Dec. freeze, but I think they have a hardiness of 20 degrees so it should be fine. I also planted a queen palm over the summer and it still looks ok. I think they also have a hardiness of about 20. They're both planted next to a fence, if that matters. Now my papaya, that should do dandy. I'm ready for this artic front. I'm ready for it to come, do its thing and hopefully get out. I just want it to be over with. I'd so love to see next week's forecast and it be nothing but days above 65 and sunny. I'd go outside and roll around on the ground, cat poop and all. It's funny because merely months anything below 70 I considered freezing. Now 60 looks downright toasty.

Not this change of scenery. I don't enjoy looking outside and seeing the deadness. I get depressed. Anywhere I go I have to stay indoors because I can't tolerate the cold. In order to be comfortable I almost have to be hot. I like the heat. Where's the relief? I can't take this much longer.

This winter stinks so bad. What happened to our mild winters? I was over this winter before it started.

I do that too, but this site is so hard to navigate that way that I don't even bother. I still like the old forum better.

Thanks for all the information. Sounds great! I still can't help to be skeptical, but the details are appreciated. That sounds scary. I was always afraid of the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" ride at Disney World.

I second that. People always talk about how the heat drains them. It's the cold that does it to me. This cold zaps my energy completely. I'll agree the snow was pretty, but after couple of hours the novelty had completely worn off. I could never imagine living in this for months on end.

I hate to be a downer, but I'm sick of winter already and it's technically not even winter yet. This weather makes me depressed.

I was shocked to see that they actually allowed a southern city at number one.

No, that's just how I feel. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm not sure which thread you're referring to.

I don't want the entertainment industry in Texas unless it's in Houston specifically and only. :evil laugh:

I hate to be pessimistic but I have no faith at all that this is going anywhere. It might come close, but in the end it's not going to happen. I'm not even hopefull.
