And hides them on the top shelf? Or in the attic? Or in a suitcase? ;-)

[Mark Pghfan]

This is a brand new book and pretty pricey on Kindle. I requested it from the library, but there are 10 people ahead of me!

[Nicole]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Mark!

The cupcakes, Nicole? I'd still find them! lol

Does your library have Hoopla? The audiobook and ebook are up on there and there's no wait!

[Mark Pghfan]

I am not sure. They are closed till Tuesday because of the holiday.

It's all online Mark - if you go to hoopladigital.com (I think!) you can see if your library participates. :-)

[Tina]

If Irish Parade is our March pick, I'll look into getting a copy. :-)

[Mark Pghfan]

Our library participates. I have to get an app, which will have to be on my Amazon Fire, and give it a try.

I have the app on my Fire and it's great.

Hey, gang, I take it we've chosen Irish Parade for March? Do tell. ;-)

[Tina]

Off topic topic: Are you PI's having luck getting the Covid vaccine? When the hospital had reserves, I was dealing with other health thingie and couldn't take it. Now that I can partake, they're out of vaccines. WT Heck?

[Nicole]

Tina, I had my first dose of Moderna this morning. I work for a school so was eligible. Arm is sore, but that seems to be it right now.

Only if everyone is able to get it. If not, we can look for something else.

I am eligible but it's pretty difficult to get an appointment where I live. I can't spend all day on the computer trying to get an appointment while I'm at work.

Lucky you, Nicole. I'm high risk and cannot find a vaccination anywhere! Scary stuff!

Exactly, PugMom! I've called doctors, pharms, our local grocery chain etc and they are all on suspended status. The hospital where I was treated had them but ran out. Now they can't even get them. Then you hear stories where they found 30,000 vials etc. but were let to expire and got thrown away. Sad.

[Mark Pghfan]

I got my Moderna vax Wednesday. It is dreadfully hard to find an appointment here in PA, though. A friend has some secret way to find things and got me one, though I had to drive 85 miles to get there! Some people are driving even further!

[PugMom]

I think I read there’s a new one coming out that will only require one dose. That sounds much better. I probably will only get it if my job requires it and at that point it might be much easier to get it since my job will assist in getting an appointment.

[Mark Pghfan]

Fortunately, I am of the age where I was in the first group.

[Nicole]

I was really on the fence, but my area has been hit very hard, plus students are coming back into school soon.

[Mark Pghfan]

A miracle has just occurred. Your humble servant managed to not only load the Hoopladigital app on my Amazon Fire (which I seldom use), but I managed to download The Irish Parade Murder correctly.

I always feel a miracle has occurred when I successfully manage some new computer thing.

I have it for 21 days.

We never doubted you could do it, Mark!!! :-)

[PugMom]

If everyone is on board with the Lucy Stone I can host and start us off by the end of the week.

[Nicole]

Works for me!

[Mark Pghfan]

I've already started reading!

[PugMom]

Mark Pghfan wrote: "I've already started reading!"

Great! I'll start us off with the first section unless someone else want s to host.

[Nicole]

Thanks, PugMom Nicole!

Purr-fect, Pghfan. I think finding The Holy Grail is taking less effort.

[Tina]

Mark Pghfan wrote: "Fortunately, I am of the age where I was in the first group."

Same here, Pghfan. Putting out fires: three days w/out computer. Tech took two days to go through many scans, repair programs all the while it was freezing us out. It's under a temp fix -- I need a new computer. Then my Drvr. Lic is expiring so I have to drive miles away to do a seven year renewal. Went for my annual eye exam and thankfully, I passed and doc gave me an approval slip. But, I still have to go to bureau in person. And no luck on Covid Vaccine yet. Does it ever end? Not in this lifetime. :-/

Johnson & Johnson is a one shot but I understand only 68% effective. I guess there will be boosters later. They say this will be an annual thing, like the flu. Nice. :-(

Thank you, Hostess with the Mostess, PugMom! I'll be along ASA able. Couple days should do it!

I'm green with-- But a pretty shade so it's all good. LOL See you soon!

[Nicole]

For those who enjoyed Canterfell, the sequel (The Case of the Ghost of Christmas Morning) is available for preorder on Amazon for .99 cents. I'm on the author's mailing list and received an email this morning. I just grabbed it but will probably not read it until the holidays. :D

[PugMom]

The first book is on KU so hopefully the second will be there also.

[Tina]

Whooppee. Trying to ditch old files, clean computer some. I had to buy new one and don't want to drag much of this baggage onto new machine. Yikes! Anyway, I'm still kickin'!

[Tina]

PI's, still dumping old files off my old 'puter while it still runs. Q for you all: those of you who moved from Windows 7 to 10 (yikes), how did you handle transferring old material to new 'puter? As many things are different (guess the only things that transfer from old machine to new are e-mail act(s). All else has to be technically moved -- loaded onto external hard drive then down/upload/transf'd to new machine. How did you all do that?

I was told by techie that I'd have to leave my old tower at the Office Depot store and they'd do it on their own time. I asked why I couldn't make an actual appt. and sit w/tech while he/she did this? I don't want to leave old' puter/material unattended by me as I've much important, personal data, info, scripts etc. Any feedback would be appreciated!

[Tina]

Thought about watching/discussing a movie mystery in April. For some reason I've been wanting to revisit Poirot Clapham Cook instead of a book read/discuss. Just something different for April then go back to a title read in May. Anyone? If no, okay and let's post a few titles and pick something for April's read. What say you PI's?

[Nicole]

The very first episode?!? I am certainly up for that!!!

[Tina]

Nicole wrote: "The very first episode?!? I am certainly up for that!!!"

Same here, Nicole. Just thought with the plethora of new shows out there, I thought mystery lovers may be losing touch with the more vintage fare. I love the new stuff but miss the roadster era of whodunits. Enter David Suchet's Poirot and Hickson's Miss Marple. ;-)

Okay, we have two!

[PugMom]

If I can find it somewhere I'll watch it!

[Tina]

PugMom wrote: "If I can find it somewhere I'll watch it!"

PugMom, if you've any HP DVD's in your movie collection, you might find Clapham Cook in Collection Set # 9. Or you frequent local library, they might have copies. Good ol' vintage HP is hard to find these days. :-(

[PugMom]

I don’t have any DVDs. I usually borrow them from the library but we haven’t had a DVD player in years. I’ll look on YouTube again since I found some videos there last time.

[Mark Pghfan]

I am totally up for a Poirot DVD discussion. That might (just, might) help me get caught up on other reading during April!

[Nicole]

I'm super behind on my reading. I think I'm in a rut....

[Nicole]

Nicole G, which streaming service do you currently have?

[PugMom]

Nicole wrote: "Nicole G, which streaming service do you currently have?"

None right not except for Netflix. I was going to start BritBox again next week during my vacation.

PugMom, I'm such a fossil still with a DVD player. I just love DVD's to pieces. Even with my music, I still favor CD's over old (cassettes, 8-tracks) or new means.

Purr-fect, Pghfan. And I thought we can follow along via movie (and) or book. Yes, it'll give PI's a chance to catch up on things. I've just got my tax compiling down and have to meet w/preparer and get Covid vax. I've appts. with both. Plus, I'm celebrating my birthday and must take time off for that. LOL
