Nobody bit on the fake "I was the only one he sent money to" gag. That's unfortunate.

My name is Charles, I go by "Chuk" for eminently terrible reasons.

Okay, if you leave a small tip at an expensive dinner in a restaurant, they'll call you Two-buck Chuck. When you met the woman who would become your fiancee, people sang Chuckie's in Love. Your wife is the Bride of Chucky. If you reach into a running garbage disposal you have ground chuck. When you rise from a chair people look for a towel because you have up chucked.

If you are unhappy about these puns, you may proceed to chuck me under the bus.

No, I have the Kindle software installed on my 10.1 inch tablet and my PC. With a multipurpose Android tablet selling for a quite reasonable $54.85 with 8gb of ram and 128gb of flash, it's got a bigger screen and (probably) more space than a Kindle for about ⅓ the price. And I can use it for lots of other things besides reading e-books.

It's gonna take me a little while to do it, and I should probably confirm that I can actually find it, but I can try that if you think that would be useful for you, buddy?

I would absolutely love to get a Kindle, I can compare how e-books look there on an actual one and here on a tablet. With lots more books to read it would keep me busy. If you're able to do it, I would definitely appreciate it. The cost of a new one was out of the question, and even a used one was too expensive given my limited budget.

I can also test how my upcoming books I will complete writing would format on an actual Kindle and check for differences between the two. In addition to The Takeover Man, I have currently three more books (Marnie; Don't Break the Merger; Willis and Friends) in various stages of completion. I need to find some way to make some money, and writing books looks like about the only thing left I can do.

By the way, my birthday is Nov. 27 so if you'd rather send a birthday card (or both!) I won't be disappointed. If I get anything I'm pleased. Even junk mail and bills are a nice distraction In My Lonely Room¹.

Once the novelty of seeing the hilariously outrageous amounts they think they can collect from me wears off (about 30 seconds), I toss the bill in the wastebasket In My Room².

Or since there's nobidy on this board named Charles, and the items are refuse, I can safely say I chuck the bills in the wastebasket. This means every time the maids remove and lift the plastic bag from the trash can, they are performing an up chuck. Yes, I know, that was a sickening pun.

We were off by (only) 4500 house numbers on your address, so a replacement card is on your way, sir. Please let Amy and Ohio know that our records have been updated!!

Yeah. He wrote a book with his daughter about catching a serial killer that I would recommend to you if you haven't read it already.

"The California Raisins and Snap! Crackle! and Pop! found murdered. Police suspect a Cereal Killer."

When you mentioned the above book reference, I Amazoned¹ for it by typing bill james serial killer in the seaarch box for the Books Department. The result was The Man From the Train. a book that looked and sounded familiar. When I read the blurb, I knew why. I had seen the book on C-SPAN's Book TV series which caused me to buy it as a present for my sister (who has a big fascination with serial killers) a few years ago.

¹ When you use Amazon to search for something rather than Googling it. Especially since it's a book.
