HAPPY MAY EVERYONE!

[Sean, Moderator]

Very quite in this thread lately

Hello May

[Christine]

Aww thanks Sean and Sean I’m surprised nobody is talking in this thread

[Sue]

Here in Toronto, we have been in lockdown since April, and things are gradually starting to open up with restrictions. Nurseries open but not to the public, curb-side pickup only. Long lines at grocery stores. No restaurants open yet. It will be last. My husband does all the running around for groceries etc. I have been inside reading, cooking and baking. Most people are working from home with the kids out of school, to teach online by the parents. Full load. We will get through this but it will take awhile, and I don't think we will ever be the same. It took so many innocent lives and the elderly. Stay safe everyone and Happy May!

I went to El Pollo Loco last night and was able to enter and place an order. You couldn't stay and eat. The food was take out only, although I was surprised as to how busy they were.

[Alex]

Hello! I am relativity new to the Goodreads group discussions, having said that- I do hope I am posting this in the correct area. I was wondering if anyone might recommend some good crime mystery/thrillers with a romantic subplot or good character development. Thank you :)

[Christine]

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

[Sean, Moderator]

Saw this on Netflix, loved it so worth a mention here, shared in the movies section as well.

Firstly I was surprised when I watched this film as how much I enjoyed this great old fashioned style, good old days twisty thriller

Netflix film on Netflix called

Dangerous Lives

I really enjoyed it, good twists.

[Christine]

Sean I want to watch that movie called Dangerous Lies on Netflix

Hi Alex, you might check out the discussion What are you currently reading. I find a lot of books that I add to my TBR list when people post what books they are reading there.

If you are a praying person any prayers, good thoughts etc. are greatly appreciated. Hamish is at the Veterinarian after being sick all week. Pretty sure that he has a blockage in his intestines. They ran all his bloodwork and all his numbers are looking good, except his white cell count is slightly increased which they said the stress he's been going through being sick can cause that. Pancreatitis test came back negative. X-Ray's showing a possible blockage. They've started IV liquids and an antibiotic for the night and will operate first thing in the morning. If all goes well they hope to have him eating by tomorrow late afternoon. The house seems so empty without him here. 😥 He will be a year old on the 19th. ❤

[Diane S ☔]

Will include Hamish in my prayers. Hope the little pup will be okay.

All the best to Hamish, Lynn! Have you put up a picture of him in your profile? Probably kind of weird since we’ve never met IRL, but I sometimes think of Otto.

[Lynn Renee]

Hamish made it thru surgery and came home last night. He has been doing well, eating, drinking, and his urinary and bowels are working. A little sluggish still from anesthesia along with the pain meds, he’s been sleeping a lot which is a good thing. His incision is big, two rows of internal sutures, and 26 staples. The blockage was an exam glove, we’ve been using them going in and out of the building. I’ve been so worried about Hamish that I forgot to get my meds refilled, will have to do that Monday. I’ll try to post a picture. Thank you for the prayers.

[Lynn Renee]

I was able to upload a picture of Hamish to my profile page. ♥️

He’s gorgeous, Lynn! Thanks for showing him to us. What an ordeal he’s been through, and I’m glad he’s on the mend. Get well soon, Hamish!

[La Tonya]

In the virtual silent book club everyone brings their own book or E-reader and reads together quietly for an hour, then we all nerd out about books afterward.

We kick off the meeting with a quick round of introductions where everyone says their name and a little about what they're reading. We love hearing about what people are reading (often in their other book clubs).

If you think you maybe interested in the virtual silent book club follow this thread below for the next scheduled date:

Enjoy Reading,
La Tonya 📚

Christine

I will play tennis, or go for a walk, as I have to exercise everyday usually 4 miles to 8 miles, gardening as well.

Keeps me fit and healthy.

Thanks

Watching lots of Wimbledon Highlights...

Miss live Wimbledon this week

[Christine]

[Sean, Moderator]

Very quite in here, nothing for 3 weeks !!

I remember when this was a busy thread.

We do have over 5 to 10 new members a day !!

They most be all lurking !

[sonya]

I’ve been quiet. Quite sad really.

[Perri]

Some hopeful news. Some of you may remember the Orca whale mother who carried her dead baby around for several weeks? She's pregnant again so fingers crossed for a successful birth!

Sorry to hear it. It's the times we are living in feeling trapped. I'm an introvert and love being home, but this time is wearing on me as well.

I saw the aerial photo of her, Perri. Amazing. I hope all goes well for her this year.

[Sean, Moderator]

We are all different, I have been as home for 4 months, and I love it.....

So happy to stay at home and garden, read, and go for walks, and go to play tennis, see my older neighbours.

I do not need work, or go into work.

I work from home and start at 6.00 am, so still do everything in each day, no time to get bored or lonely.

Do not miss the travelling to work and back home...

But these difficult times have affected many people in a different way.

[Christine]

HAPPY AUGUST EVERYONE!

[Janet , Moderator]

I just want to wish my second daughter (not in profile pic!) a really happy 21st birthday today. Can't really do much given the circumstances but we'll do what we can later today. It's currently nearly 3 am...... I should get some sleep! Have a good Saturday everyone!

[Christine]

Janet I hope your second daughter has a wonderful birthday today and Janet 21 is a great age and Janet it really stinks that you and your family can’t celebrate your second daughter’s birthday all because of this whole Corona Virus thing and Janet I’m glad that your thinking positive thoughts and Janet I hope you sleep well and thanks Janet

[Janet , Moderator]

Thanks, Christine. We had a good day in spite of restrictions. Just did the best we could. Stay safe.

[Sean, Moderator]

Janet

No such luck... No flying for us this year !!

[Christine]

No problem Janet and Janet I’m glad that you and your whole family had a great day and I agree with you Janet and thanks Janet and Sean that stinks that you and your wife’s plans got canceled all because of this stupid Coronavirus thing

I read an article in today's newspaper about one of the California fires. People had to be evacuated from Mammoth reservoir area by helicopter. Liz and I visited this area in 2008. See my travelogue. http://www.vermontbridges.com/keating...
