This Saturday is the return of the dreads concert. In This Moment. Rob Zombie. And Korn. Head is back in Korn again the new music has a touch of that old Korn rage in it. Life is good. Check that. Life is Peachey. I'm even breaking my own rule of not wearing the shirt of the band you are going to see and wearing a Korn shirt. I'm too old to care anymore

[Sarah]

Lol Travis. My partner has that same rule. But i also get the too old to care breaking of the rule. Sounds like a good concert. ENJOY!

[Esther]

Hi, Just popping in to say I am still around somewhat. 2016 seems to be the "year of the worst reading slump". Seriously. I do whatever else. I grab my ipad to get to my ebook and end up playing sodoku. Ridiculous. I cannot seem to get out of this one.

This being said, I have a trip coming (Edmonton Alberta) so I will have airport time to read.

[Sarah]

Good to see you're still around Esther. I hope you are enjoying all the other things you are doing instead of reading. Fingers crossed your trip will kick start things for you.

[Peggy]

I hope you come across the right book to get you out of it soon, Esther.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Hi, Renee! I hope your reading slump ends soon!

[Lisa]

Nice to hear from you, Esther! Reading slumps are the worst. Have you tried rereading a book you really enjoyed? I often find that helps me to get out of them.

You're coming to my neck of the woods, relatively speaking. It's a 4-1/2 hour drive away. When are you going to be in Edmonton?

[Kristie, Moderator]

I hope your trip helps you to break your reading slump, Esther.

Oh! that is thing. I hope you make a "recovery" very soon

[Peggy]

Hey! I just noticed it's now possible to read spoilers in the app (at least in reviews, haven't checked discussion threads yet)! That's so great :D

Sorry if this feature is already months old..

[Peggy]

Oh no, doesn't seem to work for discussions.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I noticed that recently too. I've started adding that there's a spoiler before my spoiler tags in reviews. I read a few spoilers accidentally before I figured that out.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Oh, that is great. I hope the fix it for discussions too.

[Joan]

Just cried my way through the movie Neverland - it was good.

[Janice, Moderator]

Where is everybody the last couple of days? There have only been a few posts today so far.

It's threatening to rain here, but I'm going to head out to the lake where my kids are camping. I haven't seen them all summer so I invited myself out. The grandkids will be back in school in a week! Hard to think that summer break is over all ready.

[Roz]

It has been pretty quiet lately. Maybe everyone is gearing up for the start of the school year (at least those who have kids still in school). My son is moving into a new apartment on Thursday and I'll finally get rid of the furniture and "stuff" he's been storing all over my house (as well as himself) since March. I'm so excited I've offered to pay the movers.

[Lisa]

I reckon everyone must be enjoying the last few days of summer :) I'm going on holiday to the Scottish Highlands for a few days on Thursday so I am gearing up for that. I can't wait!

[Sarah]

Yes I couldn't believe how little posts there have been. Here in the UK it's bank holiday weekend. My partner took Friday off as well so we have a long weekend to work on our bathroom. Yes we're still sorting our bathroom. It's taking shape thought. :-)

We went to buy some wood for the bathroom and when we got back it was raining so we decided to wait a little as we'd gone out without coats, with shorts and flip-flops on. Then there was the most humongous thunder and lightning storm. We were stuck in the car for just under an hour while we waited out the storm. We didn't want to get the wood wet, nor the new duvet I'd bought or our nice clean, dry laundry. So I watched the storm in the car while my partner napped!

[Kristie, Moderator]

My husband and I are house hunting. It is not my favorite thing. My mom is going to be moving in with us, so we are looking for a home with an in-law suite where she won't have to walk to many stairs and so far we're not having much luck.

We are also going on vacation to Ireland a week from today, which I can't wait for, so we've been planning that.

@ Lisa - Have fun on your holiday!

@ Sarah - Too bad you didn't have a book with you!

[Janice, Moderator]

I just got home from the lake and I'm glad I went. It rained and it was cold, but that's camping. It was tense driving home in the dark and rain, especially since there is some construction on the highway and there are no lines painted. It was really hard to tell where I was on the road.

The cat has been trying to eat my hair ever since I sat down. She must be attracted to the smell of the campfire. She just put her paw on the side of my head and pulled my hair. Strange behaviour.

[Janice, Moderator]

Sarah, I'd be tempted to wait out the storm in the car too.

Kristie, good luck on the house hunting.

It's not just YLTO that's quiet. It seems to be all across Goodreads. Maybe it just means that people have real lives. :)

[Peggy]

I would love to visit Ireland someday Kristie. Enjoy!!

Also good luck with the house hunting :)

[Lisa]

Thanks, Kristie! Enjoy your trip to Ireland and good luck with the house hunting.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks ladies! :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Janice - I've noticed that too. I'm in several groups and they are all quiet.

[Renee]

I am hanging with my family this weekend. It is family reunion time. So far only two fights. I come from a large Sicilian family. Fighting is a tradition.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Haha, Renee. Sounds like you're in for a long weekend.

[Sandra, Moderator]

We have been distracted with friends visiting from Mexico for the weekend. We are having a great time. We are also getting ready for e first day of school tomorrow.

[Stephanie]

Glad you had a fun time camping, Janice!

I've been quiet on here. Haven't joined any challenges or topplers for awhile. Just haven't been reading a lot :)

Hopefully our stuff gets here soon so I can see what I have to! I can't wait to get my library card here!

Have a great day everyone!

Happy vacations for you both!!!

I'm recovering from a bad flu...

I can Absolutely relate to that!!!

[Cherie]

I hope you feel better soon, Mariab.
I am cleaning and doing laundry. Almost finished with my audio book.

[Janice, Moderator]

It sounds like it's been a busy weekend for lots of people.

Stephanie, making such a big move surely is overwhelming. You'll feel more like reading once you've adjusted.

I hope you feel better Mariab.

Oh no! Hope you are feeling better, Mariab.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I've just returned from today's house hunting adventure. The house is 2 hours away from where we are now, but finally looks to have what we're looking for. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it pans out. Now, I'm ready for a nap!

[Lisa]

Thanks, Mariab! I hope you feel better soon.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Get better soon, Mariab!

[Mariab]

Thanks to all for the good wishes! I think the worst of it is almost over...

[Travis]

Have pinched nerve in my back so that sucks. Pain intense to wgere I'd like to just cut my leg off but that isn't practical. Even so went to concert last night. Had a blast. It was incredibidible.

Now believe it or not since I never take vacations am leaving Thursday for vacation ubtil Sunday in Virginia. Yeah the back won't like that car ride at all. Friday my wifes grandfather will be buried at Arlington as a WW2 veteran which should be neat. After that we are free to roam. Take kids to National zoo and pribably hard rock cafe. Tomb of unknown sokdier. My cousin lives in Baltimore and is going to meet us at the zoo. Should ve a fun time. Even the burial shouldn't be too bad he passed 7 weeks ago just takes a long ti.e to book a spot at Arlington

[Sandra, Moderator]

Pinched nerve really sucks, Travis. I hope you get better soon, to enjoy the trip. And being buried in Arlington is such an honor. I don't know if I have already mentioned it, but my next door 93 years old neighbor is a WWII veteran too. He also wrote a short memoir for his grandkids that he let me read a few years ago.

[Janice, Moderator]

Yikes! I hope that pinched nerve clears quickly so that you can enjoy your trip, Travis!

[Travis]

That's cool Sandra. There can't be too many of them left anymore as my grandfather in law was 97 years old

[Lisa]

I hope your pinched nerve eases up soon, Travis!

[Sandra, Moderator]

He is a very funny gentleman. He plays the piano and goes to "gym" class twice a week. He also has a girlfriend who is 89.

Are you feeling better today, Travis?

[Sarah]

Trapped nerves are no fun. I hope it sorts itself soon Travis. A holiday? You won't know what to do with yourself ;-) Hope you have a good one.

[Cherie]

I hope your back will not give you too much grief while you are on vacation, Travis.

My ex-husband and his wife have been in Washington D.C. for the last two weeks and visiting all of the sights. He has been posting pictures and videos on Facebook. They toured Arlington and the war memorials last week. I have friends traveling in New England too and posting all of their pictures. I have been traveling digitally with them. ^-^
