Though some are saying the bear with was 'shopped in' that it's fake. Don't know what to believe!

That wouldn't surprise me Janet.

[Groovy]

They broached that idea, but the article I read stated that it was in fact real, the bear came from behind a mountain in the back of her and as she got faster, he couldn't keep up and stopped chasing her.

For on-the-edge adventure sake, I'd like to think it was real:)

[Janet , Moderator]

Scary stuff!! That's all I know! I saw it first on Twitter and gulped! I'd like to think he just wanted to photo bomb her filming..... :-) But the reality is..... :-\

[Janet , Moderator]

On a lighter note.... Spring sale currently on Amazon that's worth checking out. If you fancy adding to your reading mountains!! :-)

[Groovy]

Spring Sale!!! Don't have to tell me twice:)

Scary! It makes me think of that bear attack scene in the Revenant, which was very realistic.

[Amber]

I never really understood just what the heck "photobombing" actually is.

Amber, photobombing indicates a photo for example, where someone in the background who is not meant to be in the picture makes a funny face, or an animal inadvertently shows up in the foreground. Things like that.

[Amber]

Thanks.

I remember one example that happened at Banff with a squirrel or chipmunk that was particularly funny.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hey, Christine! :)

[Kirsten]

Good morning, Christine! Happy Peach Cobbler Day!

[Perri]

Good Morning Christine, enjoying my first cuppa while browsing :)

[D.B.]

Good morning! I haven't had my first cup yet, so (for everyone's sake) I'll keep this short!

[Sean, Moderator]

In the winter twice a week, and tennis 3-4 times a week

Walking everyday 6-10 miles.

Snooker mentally hard

[Titas]

No no no no is that message for real Sean? Shit shit. She was even younger than me. We all have seen her here and chatted with her. I didn't know about any of her troubles but she always seemed so full of life. I don't know what to say.

A reminder to me to treat others gently-you never really get what others are going throug

[Sean, Moderator]

Many PM's

Thanks all.

Many messages in Something More Serious.

[Sean, Moderator]

Sadly Titas, there are no words, just a heavy heart

Hey Janet, did you get this squared away? If not, make sure you have your reading dates, especially the finished date, in your review box or it will not be counted. Hitting READ button alone won't do it for you.

[Janet , Moderator]

Ok, I'll put a finished date on it because it's still not counting. See if that works. My reading has really slowed down of late. Not even managing a book a week. I got an email today from GR giving tips in how I can achieve my challenge!!

[Christine]

Hit the novellas, Janet.

[Sean, Moderator]

Janet

For you that is slow reading.

LOL on goodreads message !

[Amber]

Janet, did you get a message informing you of your total # of pages read so far? I did. 24,911 pages.

[Sean, Moderator]

Blimey, I keep my total here, and I am around, 5,500 pages the most !

[Amber]

Well, I don't have any OTHER entertainment options at home, Sean.

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, I did, Amber. Can't remember the stats! I never knew GR would be so concerned over my reading (or lack of) welfare!

[Kirsten]

At least it's not sending text messages if we haven't posted in a day or two. That's what my pharmacy does if it doesn't think I'm filling my prescriptions in a timely fashion.

[Amber]

I'd rather get txts about my refills than my GR activity or lack thereof, Kirsten.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

I wish they would let me know....I haven't been reading much at all this year. Just completed one book all year! Starting to get out of my reading funk and joined a local book club. Maybe that will help.

[Kirsten]

Wow, Lorrea... that would never be me. I am addicted to reading. I don't go anywhere without a book, my kindle, and/or my smartphone.

The funny thing is...I am usually the same way. But I'm not sure what has gotten into me.

[Famine]

Hullo everyone!

April and April 23rd is the official international FOP Awareness dates! This year marks the 10th anniversary of the research teams discovering the gene that causes FOP, so raising awareness and education is a tough ongoing battle!

I suffer from FOP along with my twin sister so its really important for us that people signal boost important awarenessn dates.

I've been away lately from GR erratically due to my health issues, and I've been misssing my groups.

Never heard of it, Wolfrott.

[sonya]

I'm reading Arctic drift

[Amber]

I'm listening to Watch out for Goofy from a 1979 Disneyland records release called Disco Mickey Mouse. Anyone ELSE remember it?

[Janet , Moderator]

I'm deep cleaning the kitchen this afternoon which includes ovens. Can't tell you how thrilling it all is.... NOT!! :-\

[Amy]

I can relate, Janet! Been deep spring cleaning for what seems like forever. Steam cleaning, washing, changing rooms around. Though I must say, since changing one main room around, I feel like it was a bit life changing. Hahah

And here I though you knew everything their ever was to know.

I know enough about everything there is to know that I know I don't really know anything!

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Sean

Just to remind you, ABSOLUTION will be free, starting tomorrow, April 26, and remain free through Saturday, April 30.

Is there a thread for the read along and Q&A? If so, could you point me to it?

Thanks! Looking forward to the Q&A!!
Susan

[sonya]

I just emailed my government because they are fighting to cut services for people with mental illness.

If this was your state, how many people here would be affected? Answer only if you like.

[Amber]

Even one person out on the streets because of idiotic funding cuts is one too many, Sonya, but that's what describes the Republicans: idiocy!
