Let's All Have A Chat
well done today mr murray saw the end of it but am annoyed they not fixed the wifi at work yettonight was boxing at the box and boy in the heat of today it was a mega sweaty session but it was good fun got some good punching and kicking done also got the athlete of the month award for june so was very embarrassed about that I don't do this for recognition I do it for results and fun
Wow, Sharon, congratulations on your award! I am so proud of you!
thanks Christine its sitting on my dresser upstairs as a sign that I am not allowed to let things slip. keep on working hard and good things will follow :)
i admire your dedication Sharon....you deserve the award!
Sharon, would you consider putting a picture of your award on your page? Would love to see it.
Congratulations, Sharon.Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are getting divorced! Who didn't see that coming? I saw it when they got engaged. At least they're parting as friends.
o.k. everyone, I need your input. I signed up for Norton a year ago and it was like 32.00. I just received an automatic renewal and it tripled in price! Do any of you have this type of virus security on your computers? Do you really need them? I'm this close to asking for a refund.
I also use Norton. The renewal price is always high. If you got Norton initially with a new computer, you can get a bargain price. You can go without virus protection - my son never uses it - but he knows a lot more than me about computers.
Congratulations Sharon!!! Great job!!!
Thanks, Pat. I just realized my daughter doesn't use it, either.
Hi Groovy. My desktop computer is on all day/night, but I restart it every couple of days, or turn it off if there is a thunderstorm. I use the HP computer products for my home office, because they are easy to use, and last. I do not use Norton, but AVG Internet Security, and have so for at least 5 years. I also use CNET.com for free downloads of all software that you need for your computer. I am using Win 7 but my computer could use Win 8, but I find Win 7 more reliable. Check out CNET.com,(Free Downloads) as this site is fully tested and reliable. You can ask questions from a moderator or email some users and get their feedback.
Thanks, Sue. I'm on my way there. And I agree, Windows 7 is more reliable.

I love doing boxing, did for eleven years.
Now I just enjoy hitting pads, it does realise a lot of stress, doing pads for an hours burns so many calories, and you sweat like mad.
Only have chance about once a week, as always busy with tennis etc..
It's great seeing how hard you work to keep the fitness.
I now know that I have had to learn to rest in between the mas tennis matches.
Sadly a sign of getting older, but I believe I am still doing well.
You are doing great Sharon.

Thanks, Sean and Titas. You both give it a good rating. I'm going to look it up.

No, that's chilly here, Janet. Gosh it can be anywhere from 60s to 100 in July, but usually 80ish. June was terrific despite a lot of benign rain. Temps were mainly 70s with some very low 80s. Some years June can be all 60s.
I've only just caught up with the chat, having been away from Goodreads for a couple of days. Congratulations Sharon and well deserved. It sounds as though you work very hard. :)
thanks all am grateful for all your comments. had another good day felt a huge improvements with my pull-ups and that has been one thing I have always struggled to do. hopefully soon I will be able to do them continuous without jumping each timeon another note - planning my holiday said to my sister we need to think about things for me to do when I there and she was like fitness wise? she doesn't really do fitness. told her not to panic I had that sussed and was meaning touristy stuff. hoping the weather is good cos we planning a wee trip to Vancouver island for a couple of days other stuff still to be arranged but its a start
I had to go put on my jacket due to the library A/C being on too high.Currently, http://www.weather.com/weather/today/...

Great looking volumes, Aymen. Is that the Game of Thrones series?
Sharon wrote: "thanks all am grateful for all your comments. had another good day felt a huge improvements with my pull-ups and that has been one thing I have always struggled to do. hopefully soon I will be able..."Ooh, I would love to see Vancouver Island, Sharon. When is your trip?
Aymen- a wonderful gift. Enjoy. I think the boxed set will provide hours of good reading.
Amber wrote: "Am I the only one here who knows that July is National Blueberry Month here in the US?LOL! Yep. I've lived in the US all my life, this is the first I've heard of it. Now, let me know when National Chocolate day hits so I can celebrate:)
Thank you Pat, yes Christine it s the "Game of Thrones" Series, But in the books it s called "a Song of Ice and Fire" and "Game of Thrones" is the first book, they shows this title for the tv show.
My sister and family are visiting Vancouver island in August. It looks spectacular, and I am envious.

Gosh, you are going to have lots of fun with this set!

Sharon, just for irony sake, I'm not trying to plug my books or anything. But one of my novels takes place in Montreal, and the characters cross to an island called Eden's Cove. You just reminded me how much fun I had writing it and living there, if only in my imagination.
Hope everyone can curl up with a good book and enjoy a safe and happy weekend.

When Monica Seles was stabbed everything changed.
Players were of course more worried and carefully.
But I did know the players to go to get close to the players.
Must of the very hot today for the crowds.
They are expecting the hottest day EVER at Wimbledon tomorrow !!
