I had a great time at my parent's! Usually I'm home for 3-4 days, but this time it was 11 days and I really enjoyed it!
The dog show was pretty ..."

Still on the first uni week, but yes liking it. A bit tired so much going on, so am in the studentapartment now. In 2 hours there will be bbq and later quizzing :D

Ooops, forgot to mention the geography. Yes I used to live close to Lofoten, the university is in Oslo so its a big move. I love it here so I dont mind it.
btw; I got third place in the quiz and won a choclatebar and a bag.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Welcome back Irene! Sounds like a fun time :)

Glad you're liking uni Oda!

[Victoria]

Welcome back, Irene!

I'm glad you had fun (despite the blisters).

Unfortunately, if you spend some time apart from people you were close to, it's not unusual for you to feel a bit like a stranger when you next see them. I don't know why, but I've heard of it happening a lot.

[Marla]

@Irene - I think that is very common. I think we change and grow apart from people. I think you can tell your best friends, where you can just pick up where you left off no matter how long it's been...and they are rare to find.

Everyone have a great back to school and good luck in Uni!

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

Nice to have you back, Irene, and I'm so glad you had a nice time!

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

Does anyone know why on some threads a lot of my comments disappear? Not just one or two comments, but several. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this happen? :(

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Huh not sure why. Maybe there as an error when posting and it never really posted. I've had that happen to me. It looked like it posted on my end, but when is refresh it wouldn't be there. This happens mostly only phone when I don't have great signal.

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

Good to know! Maybe that's what's happening. Thanks Jenny :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Welcome :) Hopefully that's all it is!

The only ones who can delete your comments are the mods and of course, you. I only delete messages when I see duplicates sometimes, but I leave the original one of course :)

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

Well I am on my phone a lot, so I'm thinking you're right. It was just strange that I saw it post and then next time I'd look it would be gone. But like you said if I had refreshed it then I would have seen it wasn't there.

At least now I know!
Thanks again :)

My brother was killed in a motorcycle accident on Saturday, wasn't found until Sunday.

I am pretty crappy but I just thought I'd update instead of just disappear off the face of the earth for a while.

[Irene]

Oh dear, so so sorry to hear that! :( :(

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

I'm so sorry Kaylani :(

[Victoria]

I'm sorry to hear that, Kaylani!

[Storm]

Oh Kaylani I'm so sorry for your loss.

Wow, they are scary. It's 11:59 and I'm kind of creeped out.

My computer's keyboard broke on Tuesday. The down arrow got stuck, and when we tried to unstick it the key came off. It took until yesterday (Saturday) for me to get a new keyboard.

I did try to use my Kindle, but it turns out Goodreads' ap isn't very easy to use on the Kindle for me. Mind you, touch-screen in general is difficult for me, and the Kindle's online accessability features are limited.

Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know, in case you wondered why I hadn't been around much over the past few days.

Oh no! Glad you're all fixed up now though :)

Thanks, Karen, and Jenny!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I'm not feeling the best at the moment, I got my mom's cold :( My dad also has it, as well as 2 of my kids. UGH

Luckily I'm off today, so it will be a day of rest for me!

That Sucks:(

I Just Recovered from a Cold

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Yeah, it takes too much energy to do anything! Just took the boys to the doctor, as they have asthma...its all just viral, so nothing to be done but run its course, but the doc did adjust their allergy and asthma meds to help them cope more.

[M.J.]

I am sorry for those who are sick or lost someone. I hope that better days are ahead for you. Look at the bright side: Fall/autumn starts tonight. New season, new beginning! I wish you all the best!

[Victoria]

Hope you and your boys feel better soon, Jenny!

I have something to add and I will do it, here. I have come across a lot of people's profile who are aspiring writers. In fact, I have met so many people that I have written a blog about this. The main idea of my blog is that you should stop being an aspiring writer and start writing! (Check out my blog). It is a big mistake to put it off. I spent 15 years putting it off. I always had an excuse of not being good enough, yet. Two years ago, I decided to stop with the excuses and I started writing. I strongly advice all aspiring writers to start. Life is too short! Start on your dreams now! Today! Thank you. M. J. Mandoki

Wonderful advice, M.J.!! :)

[Victoria]

Excellent advice, M.J!

I've always written regularly, and started publishing my work almost three and a half years ago.

just dicovered this booktuber,she is so good :D

[Hamilton]

Since this is a space to chat about anything..... the good news is that the cover of Book 2 - Legend of the West Road has been commissioned.

Riaan Marais has once again been tasked with the design. The bad news is that neither you nor I will see it before release date and I'm not sure when that will be.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Very awesome Hamilton!

[Victoria]

That's great, Hamilton.

Hey all.
Good to be back. I've missed y'all! Life just got in the way; my boyfriend's battling depression and suicidal thoughts, so I've got my hands full! Slowly getting back into the rhythm of life again :) I can't wait to discuss books with y'all again :)
