[Amber]

Oh okay. Well, I'm sorry you don't like it then.

[DoodlePanda]

@Dipanjan - wait, wait, I need to find something to hide my tail!

[Dipanjan]

@ Amber - If I get scared, I bite.

@ DoodlePanda - Did you know that Pandas don't look for a place to sleep. They just fall asleep wherever they are. True fact.

[DoodlePanda]

@Dipanjan - I'm not sure why you are telling me this. As a 1/4 panda this is something I already know.Believe me, it has led to some awkward situations. Moving on.

[Dipanjan]

@ DoodlePanda - ROFL. Touche!!!

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Created a chatroom(?) thread. It's called Chat Chat Chatter so we can add all of this humor there.

[DoodlePanda]

Excellent! :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

You can start one but the problem is you need people to just be, "hanging around" to have a casual conversation. We all drop in here to say hi to new folks, so we're here.

[DoodlePanda]

Being a goodreads addict I see no problem hanging both places... :)

[J.A.]

Hi everybody!

Tap, tap, is this thing working? Okay...I'm Joyce aka J.A. Schneider from Connecticut, USA, & I've written the medical thriller EMBRYO series. I'm married, have two adult children, love reading & writing, period. Well, also gardening, but the other two are my passion, which has turned me into a wannabe hermit. In my more active days I studied at the Sorbonne, was an exchange student in the Soviet Union, got arrested there (for laughing with friends at their pea-colored drinking water, didn't know the room was bugged), and worked at Newsweek Magazine. I also know how to bark like a dog to keep the deer away from my roses. Cheers, everyone...happy to be here!! :)

[Tim The Enchanter]

Welcome JA. sounds like you have some stories to tell. (Woof woof. Be gone deer). Yeah. It seems to work.

[Dipanjan]

Welcome Joyce. We have a Gulag here as well, and for all you know there's bugging too. Glad to have you here.

[Tim The Enchanter]

Welcome all

@evelyn - you really did get an early start. We are the same age and I also have 3 kids. 6, 4, 2. You are dealing with the perils of high school while I'm potty training. Lol. Do you find more or less time for reading as your kids get older?

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Welcome Joyce and Evelyn. I feel like I really started late. My kids are 6,4,3 and I'm 36.

[Daniel]

Lorrea,

My first born came along when I was 34. Then my second when I was 36.

[Dipanjan]

Welcome Evelyn. I see that you have started a whole lot of us in doing arithmetic. Good good. "Numbers seem to dance".

[Daniel]

Definitely a lot of multiplying going on.

[Malina]

I have three kids, 16,13,8..... But I Always have time to read!

[Daniel]

Audio books help a great deal.

[Evelyn*My Redeemer*]

More, the kids have their thing they do and I read so and my youngest loves reading so I can read when she read

[Daniel]

My kids have their own things too, but as chauffeur and parent, their things tend to find a way to be my things.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Daniel wrote: "Audio books help a great deal."

You are right about that. It took me a while to get into them though.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi anyone and everyone whos joined since I welcomed new folks.

I was just checking the tapes from the bugs in the lounge. Who was talking about urine colored drinking water....?

[Janet , Moderator]

Four kids, fourth when I was 35. I'm now 107!! (Or it feels that way!)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Well, you look good for your age. What's your secret?

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Mike (the Paladin) wrote: "Well, you look good for your age. What's your secret?"

Right...I feel it too!!

[Lavada]

Welcome everybody! Im a newbie myself but love this group! Im sure you will too!

[Janet , Moderator]

A Dorian Grayesque picture in the attic! Hideous!! ;-)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Oooooh, I always wanted to meet someone who had one of those.

[Andy]

"Daniel wrote: "Audio books help a great deal."

I listen to audiobooks while driving and working out at the gym. It's the only way I can read as much as I want to.

[Evelyn*My Redeemer*]

Well yes there is that aswell lol!

[Evelyn*My Redeemer*]

I would absolutely love that, my own Dorian Gray Picture, although it would be a little bit creepy lol

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Things like that always go wrong. You'd need one of those vault type fortresses to protect the painting and it would still get destroyed. All the books and movies say so.

[Janet , Moderator]

Totally creepy, I would scare myself!

[Sherri]

Hi! I'm Sherri from Martinez, Ga. I'm 52 years old, been married to my sweetheart for 31 years. We've raised 4 fine sons, the last of whom is a Jr. In college. So now that I am practically an empty-nester,(except for my 3 FEMALE furbabies) I've gone back to reading the way I loved to before my life became a whirlwind of work, school, sports and daily chaos! I seem to gravitate toward series. I love Baldacchi, Lee Child's, James Patterson, and Harlan Coban but I've read other mystery authors too. I like a page turner. I tend to get bored easily if a book starts out too slowly. :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome Sherri,

Four great authors mentioned !!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi Sherri. Been there. Welcome.

[Lavada]

[Dipanjan]

@ DoodlePanda - I have NO idea where I am right now. It's a Saturday night here. Just got back from a pretty wild night. I am on auto-pilot mode right now.

[DoodlePanda]

You don't know where you are?? Sounds like a good night!! :P
Does this mean you've had a drink or 2 as well? Lol

[Dipanjan]

Drink or 2? Sigh. Wish it was so. Was assigned to bar duties.
