My mobile phone doesn't even take messages, and I have no idea what a Nook is, so I don't think I share your problem
I hear ya - there's always something charging here. When it's not my phone and Kindle, it's the rechargeable batteries for my e-cigarettes and camera.
Same here. Between the Ipad and my phone, something is always plugged in!
You think that's bad? I have an extension cord that comes up between the headboard and my mattress so I can plug in both Nooks, First Edition for reading and Color for surfing and playing Angry Birds, and the cell phone. Lazy? No. Efficient.
LOL, I'm in a similar situation. Maybe technology owns US!
Let's see...it's baby monitor, kindle fire or cell phone. The camera, ipod and regular kindle need charging a lot less often.
Me too.

That's what we need!
I told Rick that when we put the island in the kitchen, one end of the island will be strictly for charging purposes. Shelves for the phones, the Nook, the cameras, etc. All charging away. He laughed at me. But I was serious!
Where would we be if we couldn't charge anything?!
LOL, sounds like my first minutes at work! I tend to forget to charge things at home, so I bought a universal adapter and now just charge things at work.As soon as I got into work this morning, I connected my iPod to my computer to charge.

I used to be very connected to everything - always checking my phone for emails or on the computer when I was at home. If not that, then we were watching TV or something similar.
I've really changed my habits though, I was starting to feel like it was too easy to get in touch with me and I was never really "alone". We got rid of our cable when we moved in March, we haven't really missed it. We get one channel through rabbit ears and have NetFlix for movies and that type of thing, but we don't use it that much. We've actually been debating on whether or not we want to continue with the service. I made an effort to not be on my phone all the time; checking emails, sending texts, etc. and it's really let me focus more on myself and what I want. We spend a lot more time outside or with the pets now, going out to different places and seeing things instead of being attached to a screen all the time. It actually annoys me a bit now when I'm spending time with someone and they're on their phone.

I don't have a cell ( mine fell in the kitchen sink water ) or a Nook but otherwise I don't like to leave any appliance plugged in if it not be.Toaster,can opener etc...How about you ?
Back in the 60s. Before the rise of the electronic masters.
Have you seen the outlets with USB plugs right in them? Pretty cool!! http://www.lowes.com/pd_369050-6337...et&pl=1¤tURL=?Ntt=usb+outlet&facetInfo=
I saw one in a magazine that still had 2 standard plugs along with 2 USB ones. DH and I are thinking of installing something similar in our kitchen.
We have a large peninsula in the kitchen. It's fabulous when you are doing a lot of prep work because you aren't stuck facing a wall and cabinet. I hate that feeling. The builder of our house put an outlet in the end of it. It's so handy!! My Gram always had a nice butcher block island in the kitchen that we worked on. Love it.
:lol3: I have not seen those USB outlets!!!! That would certainly be helpful to have in my kitchen too!
I had to charge things up this morning too. IPad, Laptop, iPhone, Sonicare (toothbrush :lol3

A Nook is a brand of an eReader. It's like a little tablet, only just for reading books. Others are Kindle, Kobo, VOX and I'm sure there are others. I have a Kobo and I never leave my home without it. I love to read and have dozens of books stored on it so I can always access a new one when I finish one. Much lighter than carrying around a bunch of paperbacks or hard cover books.I have no idea what a Nook is, so I don't think I share your problem
I bought a portable charger to carry with me. It's literally the size of a lipstick tube.

It is only good for small things like iPODs and phones. And I find that it doesn't give 100% charge before it is depleted, but it's good in a pinch. I charge it up and carry it around and for those times when my cell phone runs really low, I plug the phone into the charger and can get about 50% battery charge. Then when I get home I recharge the Halo.

The one I linked to plugs in to an existing outlet I think. The one I saw in the magazine was designed to be hard wired into your house. Technology can be pretty cool sometimes!I have not seen those USB outlets!!!! That would certainly be helpful to have in my kitchen too!

Nice, Mooch! I'd like something like that in the kitchen. Thanks for the tip!
Very nice. I have been looking for something like that. I carry a spare fully charged phone battery when I go further than town. I see it wouldn't recharge my Nook Color. It requires 2.1 amps on fast charge and 800ma on trickle charge. I have been looking at solar, but they are expensive and don't have the power to charge an e-reader/tablet.
