I can fall asleep in the climax of a favorite author if I'm tired enough, and when I can't go to sleep, I pick up my book again and read myself to sleep.<br /><br />carstairs38 at gmailMark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-71657610694479249402014-08-05T09:47:49.751-04:002014-08-05T09:47:49.751-04:00** different friends' lives**

I fall asleep within 5 minutes. And that's after reading the same page over and over again as I am nodding off.

It's like keeping up with different friend's lives . . . and less confusing if the genres or settings are different enough. <br />Someone mentioned ear buds not staying in -- this is probably NOT your problem, but when I had that issue with my first iPod, a teen-ager showed me the faint L and R on them . . . then they worked much better. Also books were more logical when another teen taught me how to undo the shuffle mode. (Hank what does DFOJRW mean under my photo?
