Any games go in the games folder. If you want me to start a thread then say what you would like the game / thread to be called. Otherwise help yourself. Just make sure the rules are clear. :-)

Thanks Janet…I got it:)

Hi everybody. I've just got back from a week in Spain. The weather was terrible. We only had one good day, which was the first day. After that, I never got warm. Apparently the weather was lovely in Manchester while we were away but we seem to have brought the bad weather home with us. :(

Well, that all just sucks, Heather. Sorry your vacation wasn't nicer. Hopefully spring will hit Manchester full force soon!

Yes, hopefully. No worries, it's always a bit hit and miss in the spring but now that the children are older we will be able to choose our dates in the future instead of having to go in the school holidays.
I told my son that I met a retired US doctor online and he asked me what your specialism was but my memory is so poor that I couldn't recall.

[Christine]

Tell him infectious diseases, Heather. I my opinion (of course), it is by far the most diverse and most interesting subspecialty out there!

Apparently he hasn't had that many lectures on infectious diseases up to now. However, he has found it an interesting subject to date. He's currently at home revising hard for his 2nd year exams.

[Christine]

No rush for him, Heather. I didn't even have an infectious diseases rotation in medical school. It wasn't until I was a first year resident, and I fell in love with it fast! Tell your son to study hard in med school so that he can get his residency of choice.

LOL I have wibbly wobbly arms after tonight as there was a lot of snatching and a lot of split jerking then they threw in some wall ball shots some jack knives and a bit of rowing - puggled!!

[Janet , Moderator]

Everyone all ok? I know I haven't been saying much for last few days. Kids still on Easter holidays ... but I am around and lurking!!! ;-)

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Yes thanks Janet - just busy with end of financial year stuff. And you?

[Kerry]

Thanks, everyone, for your well wishes. Finally feeling human again completely and kitty is settling in well it would seem. Regular little terror, which I love. Love me a mischievous kitty ;)

[Jenni]

I wanted to share a link of something I watched on Facebook, maybe you have all seen it, but it was done in the UK 'Britian's Got Talent' I don't know why it has Asian subtitles, but it made me cry! For those of you that were bullied at school, you will understand why, this is a young boy's way of coping with bullying, what a brave and inspirational boy!! https://www.facebook.com/FreestyleTow...

[Christine]

Jenni, absolutely beautiful!! Everyone, go watch this video!

You're welcome Freda. Glad I could help. And best of luck to both of you!! {hugs}

My other favourite exercises are Horizontal-running, Flipped push-ups, Sit-down, Skip-the-skipping etc.


What about all of you? What are your favourite exercises?

[Sean, Moderator]

LOL Titas !!

[Jean]

Jenni, thank you so much for sharing that video link. Those boys are adorable , their performance was very powerful and moving, and it brought tears to my eyes. I have reposted it on Facebook.

Aerobic breathing.

Jenni - really good. Thanks for sharing. Posted on my Facebook.

[Sean, Moderator]

Jenni,

Yes I loved these two boys and how well they did last year on BGT.

A great song, done so well with great words and a great rapper.

You've won this round Brenda!

[Sharon]

Olympic weightlifting class done :) nice to practice some techniques as shown by a person who has competed at the commonwealth games

[Patricia]

Saw this on a reviewer's post and it describes me to a tee! So I'm posting and if anyone else has this madness, please share and let us know. Have fun!!!

"when this came into the store, i thought "huzzah" because i already own two of her other books that looked really good. of course, i have not read them. this is the way i operate - i buy books and i squirrel them away until it feels right to read them, frequently owning several books by a single author who looks good to me, without having anything upon which to base that impression.it is a very peculiar kind of madness."

[Jenni]

Thank you Christine, Jean, David and Sean, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I think it should be played in all schools worldwide, not just as a message to the bullies that they are uncool, but also to those who are being bullied, let them know they are not alone, and that they should speak up.

[Jenni]

Something else I would like to share, just a short 42second ad, but it packs a powerful punch.

[sonya]

One of my friends just passed from cancer. This really sucks. Now burying myself I the girl on the train.

"when this came into the store, i though..."

yes Pat, this describes me perfectly too! I have over 600 unread books sitting on my shelves......just in case! When we moved house last year my husband made noises about getting rid of them - until I threatened his TV remote!

[Janet , Moderator]

So sorry, Sonya, for your loss.

[Jenni]

Sonya, I lost a dear friend last year, and was struggling to come to terms with her death, when someone gave me this poem, it helped me, so I hope it will help you.


As I sit in heaven
And watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear you when you’re laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you as you weep
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs
So you know you are not alone
Don’t feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You’ll be taking one for me…

Sincerest condolences, Sonya

LOL Sandy. I know I hoard books all the time. I'm worried "they" (whoever that is) will get rid of my selections and I won't be able to get them in the future if I wait. Silly!

[Christine]

Sonya, so sorry you lost your friend. When my Dad went inor the hospital a few months back, I buried myself into the same book.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

No Pat, we're not silly, just prepared!......I just checked my credit card and I also spent over $100 on kindle books last month - oops!
I cannot go into a thrift shop without coming out with a bag of books....I take two back in to donate and come out with 10 (and a jigsaw or 2 - but that's another story!)
Besides, you are right about "them".....you never know when or where they may strike. You just have to look at all the book burnings that have occurred throughout history. Perhaps we should "hide" our stashes? lol!

[Patricia]

Oh, they will have to knock me over to get to my books for burning!! I always find bookstores when we are on vacation and those are my souvenirs. I write where and when I purchased my books on the inside title page. If the book is from home, I don't write anything inside. The luggage gets heavy!!

[sonya]

Yes my bookbag gets heavy also

Cancer does suck.

My condolences.




Ha, I never have enough books. I tell my husband that I "have" to go to the library. He says "why, you have a ton of books in the house" me…"it's not the same", lol.

Same here every time I go to the library with an arm load of books and bring home the same amount I get told I can't really plan on reading that much??
