Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Ter'e - Liqour ain't sin .... liquor is nectar ..... it makes ya immortal ... it makes ya noble ..... liqour is not a sin but holy .....

Question - Did you have ONE of those flavours or ALL the flavours. (And don't even think for a moment I have NO idea about the portion size of those in US)

DoodlePanda Welcome all new people! :)

Dipanjan | 314 comments And here we go .... in walks in the DoodlePanda ...... stop .... sleep .. right there ..... pawned.


message 1705: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Dips - behave yourself!
We don't want to scare the nice new people off!
Luckily I'm not really here so the madness might not reach extreme levels :)


message 1706: by Terri (last edited May 12, 2014 02:24PM) (new)

Terri Dips! You are a riot! Your mind is completely random! & I have to agree, liquor is never a sin. It's the over indulgence! My liquor of choice is vodka. What is yours? & pls don't say Maker's Mark again!

Hi Doodle! What's new in your world? And if you're not really here... Where would you be?


message 1707: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Doodleepoo - You're not REALLY here? Ahh you have evolved into YODA now. Feel, we shall. Behave, we must. Is that that language you are speaking in your "out of body" experience?

@ Terri - Well, it depends on my mood and the company. I am perfectly at home drinking stout with fat Irish folks, or vodka with the aggressive ones, bourbon with the good 'ole southern folks and tequila with just about anyone who i think I have a chance with. No pink or fruity drinks ... (Refer to Official Manhood Rules).


message 1708: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda Well I am here, but just a little.
I'm away for a few days, so keeping an eye on you guys on the GR app.
Keeping busy away from the Internet, but my GR addiction makes it so I have to check a couple of times a day! Lol!

Plus I don't want to miss the fun...


message 1709: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ DoodleePoo - Ahhh ... enjoying the great outdoors ..... we are behaving ... I promise .... and I just realized that I have not spoken about a single book on GR for some time .... I have to get my reviews done real quick.

message 1713: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Malina - Dip Dip Dip .... that's the best way. (Last time I used this exact words, I had got dunked in the pool. Not cool)

Daniel (diaze) Haha. Thanks.

Don't make a habit out of it.


message 1717: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Daniel - I'll try not to... special circumstances ;)
Won't happen very often though, so I'll be back to interrupting your work soon!


message 1718: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Doodleepoo - Pray tell me. You are going to be away meant "from one room to the other"?


message 1719: by Malina (new)

Malina | 775 comments I went on a 5 mile bike ride today, many hills, thought I would die! So far I'm enjoying my unemployment!


message 1720: by DoodlePanda (new)

Oh Dips, it was not music coming out of my mouth, more like agonizing gasps as I tried to pedal uphill, felt like a sweaty hog :O


message 1725: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Dips - but... I'm indoors... stop confusing me! O.o


message 1726: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Daniel - I only take my special trips once every 2-3 months, do I'll be interrupting your work often enough... :)


message 1727: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) "Special trips".

They better be extra special to cause an interruption on GR.


message 1728: by Lavada (new)

Lavada (kraftyvada) | 436 comments Welcome everybody! Yes we may be a little Zany but you won't find a better group if people around! Dips, DoodlePanda, Ter'e, and everybody keep me in stitches and make my day every day!


message 1729: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Lavada - :D

@Daniel - oh yes, extra special. .. nothing I'd rather be doing! even GR!! O.o


message 1730: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Gusmão (adrigusmao) | 4 comments Welcome, everybody! Jean, sometimes dictionaries deceive us, lol! I believe the word you were looking for was "bem-vinda" (female) or "bem-vindo" (male). That's right, if Portuguese weren't hard enough... (I probably made a mistake in the last sentence, lol) I hope your niece find a good job!


message 1731: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) @ Malina: umm, both?? :)

@Doodle: well, hurry back. Dips has abandonment issues.


message 1732: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Daniel - Lol! Dips has? I doubt he even noticed I've been gone :)


message 1733: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Malina - Heave Ho ... Heave Ho .... Heave Ho ..... Land AHOY!!!

@ DoodleePoo - So you are in the "indoors" of the "outdoors"? What? You going through a portal or something?

@ Daniel - Whenever you put Special within quotes, it just sounds sinister.

@ Lavada - Waltzes around Lavada and does the Zorro thingy ... in the Puss In Boots avatar.


message 1734: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) @Dips: oh, really. "Does it?" Who "knew?"


message 1735: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda @Dips - that's because Daniel knows what I've been up to. on my 'special' trip :) Lol!


message 1736: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) I have been sworn to secrecy. Of course, it comes at a cost to Doodles.


message 1737: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Doodleepoo & Daniel - Ok try this .... add "if you know what I mean" to anything that you say .... do it in conversations in a public gathering and see the effect.

@ Daniel - Tip from your wingman .... get the hint? Try it.


message 1738: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments @ Daniel - Fleece her .... NOW!!

message 1744: by Glen (new)

Glen Apseloff | 2 comments Hi, everyone. This is the first book group I've joined--ever. Unfortunately I don't spend much time reading; instead I write--mostly medical thrillers. Some of you may have already read Dying to Remember, Overdose, and Lethal Cure. If you have, I would be grateful for any ratings and especially reviews, and if you haven't, I would be grateful if you checked them out. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm not sure how these groups work, but I'm happy to reply to any questions or comments.

For those of you might be interested in my background, I grew up in Ohio, went to MIT as an undergraduate (I was a math major but took nine writing courses), then returned to Ohio for medical school, and I've been in Columbus or a nearby suburb ever since. My original specialty was OB/GYN, but then I added clinical pharmacology (drug research, mostly with healthy volunteers), and that provided the background for Overdose, a medical thriller in a clinical research setting.

Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thanks.


message 1745: by Malina (new)

Malina | 775 comments Welcome Glen! Of all the groups you picked the craziest one (in a good way)! I'm also a physician but unfortunately writing is not my thing, I'd rather read, will check out your books, good luck!

Kristy Roland (kristyroland) | 153 comments I would like to say welcome to all of our new members!

I enjoy DM Mitchell, Joe Hill, Harlan Coben, Dean Koontz and so many more. Hard to choose one

I loved the plot of Take One With You but was disappointed in the ending. Just finished Help for the Haunted by John Searles and it kept me on my toes.

message 1750: by Dipanjan (new)

Dipanjan | 314 comments Welcome to the group Glen. So happy to hear about your prowess in clinical pharmacology. Now we have a bleak hope of reversing our "rapidly losing sanity syndrome".

Victoria - Please trap some healthy volunteers.

Ok folks, we got MIT as well. We now have the brains.
