Another update re: not actually OWNING the Kindle books you've thought you were buying... Per Val, a FB friend, "Yes, that’s infuriating. I recently noticed my book purchases now say I’m buying a “license”. Maddening."

More about the Amazon/Kindle ownership issue. (My tip: search "How to Remove DRM From Kindle" for one possible solution.)
When I tried this, Amazon prompted me to identify which Kindle device the file is intended for, a reminder that the downloaded file is still DRM'ed to that particular target device. So, if that device should fail, you'd still have to strip the DRM to side-load into a replacement.

It's a busy week, starting with moving allll of my files from my old, faltering laptop to the shiny new one. Meanwhile, if you own Kindle books, this may be important. (I haven't fact-checked it.) youtu.be/KMoCzeGnIss?...

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra.

I think I've stumbled onto a business model that will give me more time for art AND for writing. Woooot! Meanwhile, here's one of this week's torn-paper collages. (3" x 5" on cold-pressed watercolor paper. Images from an issue of "Yankee" magazine, plus gold glitter.)

Hmm... unless it's imperative for viewers to actually SEE what you're talking about in a YouTube video, editing the visual elements may be pointless now. Actually, a lot of videos may not be viewed at all, due to this tool: www.makeuseof.com/google-gemin...

Dinosaur World in central Florida is weird and wonderful... especially if you visit with children, or a husband who's still a child at heart. lol! The dinos are full-size, and that sign on the tree shows how high the water was during Hurricane Milton. Wow!

I generally avoid posting political messages, because I'll rant, and rant, and rant. However, this is an important speech, to understand the importance of USAID.

Wow...! I've loved seeing painted violins, but - for some (weird?) reason never thought about playing one. (I studied violin for about three years... how/why did this NOT cross my mind? 🤨 lol )
#FebruARTy 🎨🎻 I thought about #eyes. Visual. Watching. Static vs. action. I get this question a lot. Can you play them? I introduce you to Nina Sofie, a truly 👏😀 talented young 🎻musician. Painted violin by Juleez 🧑‍🎨😀

Here's why we're going to Disney World tonight, and probably tomorrow, and Sunday, too: Last Saturday morning, Wait times were RIDICULOUSLY short... even with gorgeous weather. (This was the first time in _years_ we've seen the wait <1 hour. "Pirates..." was the same.)
