Thanks Groovy

[Groovy]

I couldn't find the Wacky Holiday thread so I'm posting it here:

It's French Fry Day!

Did anybody know that? My favorites are Crinkle Fries and the ones from Checkers which you can buy in the store now. McDonald's is giving out free fries today.

[Princess]

working a summer job and it is quiet boring because work is slow but it is also relaxing. i work as a office aid in a?high school but beside shredding papers and answering a few phone calls there is nothing else to do.

[Princess]

i read my book during the long hours hehe

[Christine]

Oh that stinks Groovy and I love eating french fries Groovy and yes I did know that Groovy and oh that’s cool Groovy and oh that’s cool Groovy

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I did not know it is French fry day! I love French fries, but am not supposed to eat them (carbs=sugars). Maybe I should 'cheat' to celebrate. lol

Holiday thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sounds like a great summer job, Princess. I'd love a job where I got paid to read, especially to read books of my choice. I hope you enjoy it and don't get too bored.

My daughter is coming for a weekend visit today! Can't wait to see her. :) G's birthday is this weekend. He is going to be a teenager! (gasp!)

[Christine]

I’m not getting my second booster shot today

[Christine]

Well now you know Kristie and I love french fries too Kristie and lol your funny Kristie lol and oh that’s cool Kristie and oh that’s cool Kristie and oh that cool Kristie

[Groovy]

Kristie, I hope you and your daughter have lots of fun together. Is G your grandson? You mean he's becoming a teenager? Where does the time go? I know I don't need to tell you, but enjoy your time with him while you can. College is just around the corner!

Christine, that's okay. The booster will still be there waiting for you.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Yes, Groovy! I can't believe he's going to be a teenager already. I'm glad that he still enjoys coming down to spend the summers. I feel like every year is just a bonus now. My daughter is here to celebrate his birthday.

[Christine]

Aww your so sweet Groovy and I agree with you Groovy

I hope you have better luck than me and my husband did. We both got sick and our arms seemed to hurt more. In all the previous shots we only had a little pain in the arm.

[Christine]

I can’t get my second booster shot and the reason why I can’t get my second booster shot is because you have to be over 50 and you have to have an immune deficiency Tammy and thanks Tammy and oh that stinks Tammy and oh that stinks Tammy and oh ok Tammy

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Hey everyone!!! Sorry I've been MIA : ( The month of July has been absolutely hectic!!!

I had 1,2 or all 4 grandkids 26/31 days in July. The first weekend of July I kept my grandsons so my son and DIL could go on a weekend trip. The next week, I had the grandsons for 13 days because son and DIL went on vacation. The day I picked them up the youngest gs was sick and it only lasted 2 days. Then the oldest gs got sick and I ended up taking him to Dr--swimmer's ear. When they went home, 4 days later he ended up in the ER--mastoiditis-- and then admitted to the hospital for 3 days. The two granddaughters had Covid at the same time. So I ended up with the youngest grandson again for 10 days because when oldest grandson got out of the hospital my son and DIL caught Covid. During that 10 day stretch, I was house/dog sitting for my DIL's sister. After I finally got all KIDS home, and thought I was going to rest,relax, and enjoy my freedom again, I caught Covid. I'm feeling better, just have a serious case of the BLAHs and not really feeling myself. I kept the youngest gs today because the oldest gs had tubes put in his ears. Everyone, I hope, is finally on the mend.

That last 10 day stretch(last week of July) I didn't get hardly any reading done. I have a large stack of unfinished books that I am working my way through. I started them but either lost interest or didn't have time to finish them. I'm making progress and quickly getting them finished. Most of them I had read 50% or more before I laid them aside. LOL Those accomplishments are helping to improve my spirits. I'm tired of looking at them and ready for some FRESH NEW books.

I hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully I'm back to my normal routine : )

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Oh my goodness, Robin! That was a wild month! Glad to see that everyone is hopefully on the mend now. My gs has been with us for a little over 6 weeks now and I will be bringing him home in a little over a week. I can't believe it's almost time for him to go home. The summer went so fast! He's already talking about next summer though, so I'm excited that he's looking forward to his next visit.

[Groovy]

It's so good to see that you made it through, Robin. I'm glad to know everyone is mending. I've had Covid, so I know what you're going through. Just lie around, be lazy, drink lots of water, and ride that wave. And it's good to spend lots and lots of time with your grandkids no matter what you're going through together.

Kristie, I'm glad you had a fun summer with your grandson. To me, summer goes by fast, and winter is slow, slow, slow.

I don't have any grandkids, but I did have the best grandmother in the whole world. I don't know where I'd be without her. And I miss her every day.

[Christine]

I’M BACK EVERYONE!

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Thanks, Groovy. I feel the same way. This summer seemed particularly fast for some reason.

Welcome back, Christine!

[Christine]

Thanks Kristie and the reason why I wasn’t on goodreads was because I had a hard time getting on there Kristie

[Groovy]

Glad you're back, Christine.

Did y'all know it's Restaurant week?

[Brittany]

How is everyone doing

[Christine]

Thanks Groovy and I didn’t know that it’s Restaurant week Groovy and I’m doing fine Brittany

[Brittany]

That’s good Christine

[Christine]

Yep Brittany

Hi All! Apparently it's National Sandwich Month. What is your favorite sandwich?

[Nishita]

i have my exams going on which won't end till the end of September and cuz of that I'm in a slump. i haven't finished reading even a single book this month (╥﹏╥)

[Groovy]

Ooooh, sandwiches are my favorites! I love them all, Chicken, Hamburgers, especially Subs and Hobos. The sloppier the better.

But speaking of Subs...We used to frequent Subway almost every week. Well that's a thing of the past now. The last time we went, what used to cost $12 for 2 sandwiches, now cost $22!!!! I couldn't believe it. Now my daughter and I make our own. Ridiculous!

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Yes, I think Subway is pretty expensive for what it is. My favorite sandwich is probably a chicken parm sub, but it depends on my mood.

[JoJo_theDodo]

We made open faced roast beef sandwiches at home. Just bought some roast beef and swiss at the deli, made some au jus on the side. It turned out really yummy and definitely a lot cheaper than buying Subway.

[sonya]

I only eat subway as a treat every few months.

[Rebecca]

Is anyone else having troubles accessing the groups BOTM threads? It opens on my phone but then it flashes with a “trouble downloading” and shuts down the app. Been happening for 2 days now. I’ve restarted my phone and updated app….. just wondering if it’s a glitch that’s not just happening for me. Thanks in advance

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I am on the app and am able to open the group BOTM threads without any issues. I’ve had that problem occasionally in the past with the app crashing. Do you need to update maybe?

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Never mind. I just saw that you already updated. I’m on the app, so can’t see other comments when replying or edit my past comment. It definitely has its limitations.

[Groovy]

Sonya, that's what we've decided to do from now on.

JoJo, that sounds delicious. What kind of bread did you use? We might try this sandwich.

[Christine]

I love eating hoagies

[Groovy]

Those sandwiches go by different names, Christine--Hoagies, Subs, and Hobos, I love them no matter what they're called:)

[Christine]

I didn’t know that Groovy and thanks for sharing that information with me Groovy and I agree with you Groovy

Hmmm. I was wondering what to have for dinner tonight and this just might be it!

[Groovy]

Good news, Taco Bell Lovers. The Mexican Pizza is back on the menu permanently starting Sept. 15.

My daughter is a Mexican Pizza addict. She was so hurt when they took it off the menu. We tried to duplicate it, and it was good. But like the saying goes, "Ain't nothing like the real thing."

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I just had to look it up because I've never had Mexican pizza! It sounds delicious.

[Karin]

I've been travelling for a couple of things, but

Get a load of this Little Library! It's in Pittsburgh, so at least one person here has probably seen it before. I spotted it walking down the street during my time helping my son move into his apartment so he can take his Master's degree. It's a glass mosaic that was made by the art works place you can see behind it.

[Groovy]

That's a nice little Library. And the mosaic art is lovely. I would be tempted to run my hands over it--LOL!

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

That's so cool, Karin! Beautiful.

[Christine]

That's so cool, Karin! Beautiful.

[Mythos]

wow

[Christine]

HAPPY SEPTEMBER EVERYONE!

[Groovy]

No! That means summer is on its last legs! But I'll say it for you, Christine:

HAPPY SEPTEMBER EVERYONE!

[Kirsten]

Judging by all these heat domes, I'm reading for "summer" to leave. Just hope we don't go straight to winter. (We seemed to go straight from winter to summer as I recall.)

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I enjoy fall, but feel like summer went much too quickly this year. I am not looking forward to winter sneaking in here soon, unless it passes just as quickly so I can enjoy the other three seasons again. lol

Happy September, Christine!

[Groovy]

I've been here a long time, and I still do not like winter. I wish it would pass as quickly as summer does.
