It's almost DST here in US!! That's the first sign of winter ending to me. Then Easter, then by Memorial Day winter is behind us.

I know I am replying to a very old message but Scribd is actually good. There are a lot of options and monthly membership includes all ebooks, audiobooks available on the website... and the 1st 2 months are free!!
Hey everyone!I'm an indie author looking for some feedback about love tropes.
I've used the enemies-to-lovers trope, the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope, the two-strangers-meet-and-there's-instant-chemistry trope, and the exes-who-found-each-other-again-and-fell-in-love-for-a-second-time trope. My personal favorite is enemies to lovers, but I don't want to rely on that one. I like to change things up. So what are your favs? What would you like to see more of?
Hello!! Question? Ive been listening to A Series of Unfortunate Events & im blown away at tge narrator & all the extra voices & sound effects, is there any more audio books out there like this??? Ive googled & cant find much info.
I'm too old to April Fool anyone, but I can tell a joke on this day:How does a penguin build his home? Wait for it.....
Igloos it!!! :)
That's terrible, Groovy! hahaha You made me smile too. :)My mom tried to play an April Fool's joke on me this year. Ugh... lol She also called my nephew and my aunt before me. My aunt fell for it, but my nephew said, "I've been waiting for this call all day." lol They crack me up. She had to let me go so she could make her next call. haha
Thank you, Christine! Happy Easter to you too. :)We are having a very quiet Easter this year. It is just my husband and me. We are hanging out, not doing too much at the moment (I'm reading... well, after checking GR of course, lol). We are going to take a drive and take the dogs for a long walk in a park after lunch. Then, we will come back for a nice, if quiet, Easter dinner for two and probably watch a movie this evening. So, just a relaxing day.
My family doesn't live close by, so we usually have an open house for any friends that don't have plans so no one is alone on Easter. However, we can't do that this year (or last year), so I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. In the meantime, I think our relaxing Easter is just perfect for today.
What is everyone else doing today?
i- ph my god i thought you said going around ur house kicking ur cat and i was like oh well happy easter to u
No problem Kristie and thanks Kristie and I had dinner with my family and zooming with my mom’s side of the family Kristie
Oh, I need to get on that too, Groovy. My house has taken a backseat with the new puppy and it's starting to show (at least to me, lol). That sounds really nice, Christine.
A new puppy, Kristie. Oh my goodness. That's like having another child. But I bet he/she is adorable. My house has taken a backseat too. Not only can I see it, but I can feel it:) Don't get me started on the outside. I have to replace all the shrubs I killed last year. I'm just glad winter is over. I hope you have fun with your grandson this year like always.
Oh my gosh... my yard is a mess too. lol Neither my husband nor I are good at gardening or enjoy yard work. It's a challenge. Thanks! Yes, he will be here later in June, once school is done for the year. :)

Christine wrote: "I’m getting my first Covid vaccination shot on tomorrow"That's excellent, Christine! Here's hoping you have no side effects.
I have had both doses now and did fine. My arm was a little sore the first time, but no more so than if I had done difficult arm exercises.
Good for you, Christine! My daughter and her boss got the Phizer vaccine. It wasn't until the second dose that the side effects kicked in. Besides the sore arm, my daughter was very fatigued for about a week with a low grade fever. Her boss had to leave work because of the foggy effects to her mind.I'll get the vaccine in a few months. I'm in no hurry. But good for those that did.
Thanks for the World Book info.
Oh ok Sonya and thanks Groovy and oh ok Groovy and oh ok Groovy and thanks Groovy and no problem Groovy
