    I was doing some research for my church a while back and I ran into Free Show which is presentation software. We were a smaller church with maybe 100 people and didn't have enough money to pay for something like ProPresenter. It was nice and had a lot of good features and runs on Mac, Windows, Linux.

    For reference, we were using PowerPoint and while that was working pretty well for a while, being able to have actual software built for what we were doing was a game changer in terms of setting up slides and having song lyrics, bible verses, etc.

    I've since moved to another church that is a bigger and does use ProPresenter. That set up seems pretty nice too from what I've seen of it, but I know that it is pretty expensive.

    I can't say I would ever consider having any of these surgeries, but from what I got from the article, it seems like some of these people need mental help more than anything.

    Another option if you don't mind waiting is signing up for your local library. If they use overdrive, you can send the book right to your kindle if its available. Example, I'm near Los Angeles, so...

    Movies and music have all sorted that but they still want full price for a digital COPY of a book.

    Another option if you don't mind waiting is signing up for your local library. If they use overdrive, you can send the book right to your kindle if its available. Example, I'm near Los Angeles, so my library link is this.

    This is great especially if you can read a book a week. I try to get all my books through there now, but if I'm really inching to read something and don't want to wait, I'll end up buying it. It does help save a little money here and there though.

    I'm with you there on Facebook, refused to use it for years, but now that I have kids, its pretty much the only place where you can be on groups with other parents to arrange events ,etc.

    I would give it consideration if anything, just for the groups on there. You can always have just not add anyone in real life that you don't want or care to see. That's pretty much what I did and its been working out well. I go on there for the groups.
