		<title>Still trying to read ebooks &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here I am again, still trying to find an eBook reader that will work on my Toshiba e800 running Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I found a humongous list of eBook readers, broken down by OS but not by  price/free or if they are still supported or even which version of the  OS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wanna read ebooks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still working on getting my new (to me) Toshiba e800 configured to suit me, and one reason I bought it was to be able to always have something to read with me: ebooks. Project Gutenberg has thousands of free ebooks in various formats. Other sites such as Amazon also offer ebooks, but since Gutenberg [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying to get my Toshiba e800 working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tired of dragging multiple pieces of paper wherever I go, I decided I was overdue for another PDA. (My previous PDA, a Phillips Velo 1, worked great but I couldn&#8217;t sync it using anything newer than Win95.) I&#8217;m running Win7 64-bit on my laptop (which is my main computer) and  just bought an e800 [...]]]></description>

		<title>My first home-grown salad! and upside-down tomato update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here in Wyoming, the growing season is about three days long, so I&#8217;ve been trying to grow vegetables inside (without success) for several years. My latest attempt, the Patio Garden sold for growing tomatoes upside-down, has actually been moderately successful. I bought some Buttercrunch lettuce starts at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and planted them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upside-down tomato planter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen any of the variations on this? The theory is that you don&#8217;t have to stake the tomato plant because the growing weight of the fruit will simply hang down. It looks intriguing, but does it actually work?
I asked some garden people. They agreed it looked interesting but they hadn&#8217;t tried it. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some things just make me laugh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like Outback restaurants. They have great steaks, overall good food, and are a pleasant place to spend restaurant dollars. The Australia theme &#8211; well, it&#8217;s their gimmick, and it doesn&#8217;t make the food taste any less good.
So I was surprised, last night, when my waiter was obviously using an Aussie accent. I finally asked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Freecycle!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I&#8217;d like to make it clear I did not start Freecycle. I just heard about it, thought &#8220;what a great idea!&#8221; and jumped on the bandwagon by joining CheyenneFreecycle http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CheyenneFreecycle/ in 2004, as part of Freecycle.org. When the group owner left town a few months later, she asked me to take it over, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romance vs. reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Picture this: You are a woman who has chosen to stay home with your baby and toddler.  After a bad day of whiny children, telemarketers, and dropping a container of eggs on the floor, your husband walks in the door. Immediately aware of your stress, his handsome eyes crinkle in concern, he drops his briefcase, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve joined the MP3 fanatics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years, I&#8217;ve looked askance at people wearing earplugs in their ears. While it is certainly more considerate than boomboxes playing at full volume, I didn&#8217;t understand the attraction. It didn&#8217;t help that when I bought an MP3 player, I chose one with lots of features (4 gig, voice dictation, raw data storage capability, uses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baking with plastic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My DH (H is Husband, D is sometimes Dear and sometimes something else) is a major pizza fanatic. Eat-in, takeout, grocery store, or homemade, he loves it all. What none of us likes is cleaning off the fixings that always seem to burn onto the pan. Yuck!
So for Christmas, I got him a silicone pizza [...]]]></description>
