Fun Guide to Online Dating , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
There once was a time when a bar or nightclub was the place to be to pick up a guy or girl for dating. But, ever since the Internet has hit, online dating sites are becoming more and more “the place” to be for meeting others. Over time, different dating fads have come into play such as newspaper and magazine personal ads, television dating shows, speed dating, video dating, etc. Now there is online dating, which combines all the factors of the aforementioned and brings potential partners to you in the touch of a fingertip! Since the inception of the Internet, which happens to be the human race’s favorite mode of communication these days. Everyone has an email, instant messenger, and is a member of one or more social networking sites. All communication is at the tip of our fingertips in an instant. We are in a world where we want things done ASAP. The youth of today have no idea how it was back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and before that, before the existence of the Internet and the computer age. We used to have to physically write a letter and drop it in a blue mailbox that sat on the corner in our neighborhood, or even, pick up a telephone and call someone, instead of text messaging or electronically e-mailing them. Even though, personally, I didn't meet my significant other through online dating, I did meet him on a social network. He had been on my friend’s list for over a year and we casually made comments to each other. At one time we had both been in relationships at the same time. We did have a lot of mutual friends and one day, we just chatted on instant messenger on the social networking site and everything else fell into place. He lived two hours from me, so it was long distance for a while, but we made it work. And with the information and tips I am going to share with you, you too, can find happiness through world wide web. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kym Kostos.

The Deep Dark: Disaster and Redemption in America's Richest Silver Mine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 779min
For nearly a century, Kellogg, Idaho, was home to America's richest silver mine, Sunshine Mine. Mining there, as everywhere, was not an easy life, but regardless of the risk, there was something about being underground, the lure of hitting a deep vein of silver. The promise of good money and the intense bonds of friendship brought men back year after year. Mining is about being a man and a fighter in a job where tomorrow always brings the hope of a big score. On May 2, 1972, 174 miners entered Sunshine Mine on their daily quest for silver. Aboveground, safety engineer Bob Launhardt sat in his office, filing his usual mountain of federal and state paperwork. From his office window he could see the air shafts that fed fresh air into the mine, more than a mile below the surface. The air shafts usually emitted only tiny coughs of exhaust; unlike dangerously combustible coal mines, Sunshine was a fireproof hardrock mine, nothing but cold, dripping wet stone. There were many safety concerns at Sunshine, but fire wasn't one of them. The men and the company swore the mine was unburnable, so when thick black smoke began pouring from one of the air shafts, Launhardt was as amazed as he was alarmed. When the alarm sounded, less than half of the dayshift was able to return to the surface. The others were trapped underground, too deep in the mine to escape. Scores of miners died almost immediately, frozen in place as they drilled, ate lunch, napped, or chatted. No one knew what was burning or where the smoke had come from. But in one of the deepest corners of the mine, Ron Flory and Tom Wilkinson were left alone and in total darkness, surviving off a trickle of fresh air from a borehole. The miners' families waited and prayed, while Launhardt, reeling from the shock of losing so many men on his watch, refused to close up the mine or give up the search until he could be sure that no one was left underground. ungekürzt.

Taboo: Kay Is Satisfied: Introducing Her 19-Year-Old Step-Daughter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min, (USK 18)
I guess I was lucky. I’m a writer, not very successful. But my luck came from the lotto win of nearly three-quarters of a million. I’m in my late 40s and on my own. I was planning on making a home in Spain but keeping a small property here, too, as a fallback. I hadn’t told anyone about my win and I hadn’t gone wild. I’d bought a cheap, small car and a bigger investment. Just over $10,000 on a secondhand cabin cruiser. It was nearing time to go to Spain on an exploration trip where I hoped to find a property. Nothing expensive. I needed a marina for my boat, a place that was lively, but not a drunken, wild destination. I would write there and maybe would strike lucky with that. I wanted a place overlooking the beach and sea and within walking distance of shops and cafes. But that was the future. Right now, I was down on the coast back home where I had a mooring in a marina. I was here a lot. I was getting to know the local shops and cafés now after a few weeks. I’d started taking my dirty washing home when I went but was soon using the local laundry wash. I’d found a couple of really friendly cafés, and the local boat yard had become a wealth of information and store for supplies and equipment. The Laundry Service was a self-service place, a row of washing machines opposite several commercial driers. It was simple. I wasn’t rushed for time, so I would sit and wait. Gave me time to think about my day and what I would be doing. Kay ran it with her daughter. They would take dirty washing, put it through the process, and even iron for a modest amount. Some days, they were really busy, and on others, they sat and chatted. Usually, there was just one of them there except on Mondays and Fridays, which seemed the busiest. It was a Wednesday, and Kay came and sat with me. She was slim, but not skinny. She must have been at least 38, as Penny, her daughter, had just turned 19. But she looked about 28 years old. Kay was blonde, probably out of a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Masters. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/131957/bk_acx0_131957_sample.mp3.
