Barb did some investigating for CCC and discovered that the most commonly used conversion is 1 hour of audio is 30 pages.

[jingles]

Thank you for that info, Sam!

[jingles]

As so often happens here on Goodreads as I'm going through the different groups to get caught up on things, I come across something that lifts my spirits and inspires me.

Such a thing happened today during a discussion about the fact that today is Friday.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Here's something I hope will make you smile :)

Hi everyone! Something is up with GR right now. I'm not able to do any updating or set any links. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Same here I just came on to ask the same question

[jingles]

Good morning, everyone!

Goodreads is still having major issues, so I'm still unable to do any editing, posting links, etc. For that reason, I'll hold off on trying to post any new challenges until they have it fixed.

Hang in there.

[Ruth]

OK....Hope it is fixed soon!

[jingles]

I think the problem with GR has been fixed. If you have had trouble editing, check it now to make sure you are able to.

[jingles]

Since it's been a big crazy here on GR, I thought, I'd post something to put a smile on your face.

Happy Friday, SCC friends!!

This was GREAT! Thanks!

[jingles]

Glad you like it, Ruth!

[jingles]

I'm not sure anyone will see this, as it generally stays pretty quiet here, but...

Please stay safe during this Thanksgiving holiday celebration, my friends!

Good morning, everyone!

I wanted to let you all know I will be out of pocket beginning Friday and going through the weekend. I probably will not be back online until sometime early Monday (January 18th) morning. I will do my best to respond, but I will not be able to set new links, post new puzzles (for Wheel of Fortune), or anything like that until I return.

This group has become very, very quiet, so there's not a lot of activity anyway, but I just didn't want you all to think I'd abandoned ship.

Thanks, jingles....Been reading and just hunkering down. But I am still here!

[jingles]

Yes you are, Ruth, and I'm always happy to see your smiling face!!!

LOL....thanks!

[jingles]

Good morning, SCC friends! Happy Friday to you all!!

Here's something I hope will make you smile:

I Can See Clearly Now

I will be house-sitting this weekend and will not have computer access from this afternoon until around 7am Monday morning (CST).

Have a wonderful, healthy and safe weekend!!

[Ruth]

Love it.....It did make me smile! Have a great weekend!

[jingles]

Glad you enjoyed it, Ruth!

[jingles]

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday to you :)

I will be away at my sister's house for the remainder of the weekend. If you don't see me - not to worry...I have no desktop access there, so limited internet activity.

I'll see you bright and early Monday morning, though.

To all the moms out there...Happy Mother's Day!!

Good morning, everyone!

I'm at a turning point. For several reasons, I am contemplating either turning this group over to someone else (as well as the other two I moderate), or closing the group all together.

My main source of aggravation right now is the never-ending, disruptive issues we continue to see with this website. I'm not going to get into any type of argument or negative bashing, or anything like that...but let me say this: this website - this company - Goodreads - is owned by Amazon. The resources are there to make this website work properly, yet we continue to have very disruptive things going on. One day I might be able to log in and post, the next day...maybe not.

You all may be aware, I recently went through a health situation. I find that I do not have the time or the patience to wait for GR to do the right thing. I'm tired of dealing with the constant disruptions, as I'm sure we all are.

For those who might be interested in taking over the group, please send me an email here through GR.

If you have no preference as to whether the group remains or not, please post that below as well.

Thanks for your continued support over the years. I do appreciate all of you, and I hope we can get the right thing done here for the group :)

[Ruth]

Hang in there jingles...would hate to see you close everything down and leave....would miss you....Hopefully it will settle down???
((((HUGS)))))

[jingles]

Thanks for the encouragement, Ruth!

Any time....Love your groups!

[jingles]

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know I will not be posting anything new here in this group, and am officially stepping down as moderator.

As I have time to do so, I will continue to update challenges I have posted here with finishers, and to encourage everyone as I see new challenge updates posted. I'm not sure how often I will be online, but I'll try not to miss anyone's posting. Should that happen though, please feel free to email here through GR.

If you are interested in moderating or co-moderating this group, please post a message below or email me here through Goodreads.

[Marla]

So sad, Jingles, I just stepped up my participation in this group again. Sad to see you cut back, but I totally understand. Moderating a group is a lot of work! And we appreciate your efforts. Thank you for al the joy you have brought us.

Hopefully, I'll still see you around (I am really enjoying one of your challenges.)

[jingles]

Thank you so much for understanding, Marla, and for your kind words and support!

[Ruth]

Sorry to hear that jingles....but I understand....You need to take care of you....Can't spread yourself too thin....I am still hanging out here and in your other group.....thanks for all you do!
Hugs
Ruth

[jingles]

Thank you, Ruth!

[jingles]

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be able to tell you that we have a new moderator for SCC!!

Please give Shari a warm welcome.

Shari, thank you so very much for taking things over here. I appreciate it very much!!

[Ruth]

Hi Shari! I'm Ruth a relatively new member...and like this group...Thanks so much for doing the moderator thing....Looking forward to getting to know you!
Ruth
