I'm not having problems quite that bad, Pamela, but I did have a problem the other night with a book. Goodreads marked a book for me that I wanted to read it, and I did not do it!! I have no idea how it happened, but I didn't look the book up, I wasn't looking at it on someone else's page, so that was really annoying!! I sure hope this gets fixed soon!!!
Just now, when I went to my profile page and came back here again, a yellow notice at the top said "could not find that comment" so I actually had to keep scrolling through to get back here to post this. It's as if the aliens have landed and taken over!🛸👽😱Beam me up!!Pammy Jo
When Ruth comes back on here today, I want to ask her about the "Afternoon Tea and Scones" situation.

When I visited Yellowstone National Park, I was fortunate to see a newborn moose! I was amazed by his size and he could not yet walk very well. He wobbled quit a bit!

For being so interested in seeing a moose? 🤣"
🤣 Yeah, we were kinda laughing at ourselves for wanting to see a moose so bad when we see them a lot anyway!

That would be really something to see, Pammy Jo! I've seen moose calves before but not that young!

It was amazing! The poor thing was so unattractive that I felt sorry for it! He was trying so hard to walk and follow his mommy!

You said you wished you could find a way to complain, so I found their phone number. 🤣

Well yeah but...do you know how much I hate making phone calls?! 🤣
Well yeah but...do you know how much I hate making phone calls?! 🤣Me too, that's why you're going to do it. 🤣🤣🤣
Emma wrote: "Well yeah but...do you know how much I hate making phone calls?! 🤣Me too, that's why you're going to do it. 🤣🤣🤣"
Oh thanks! 🤣
I actually did find a contact page and sent a message, and it said an "expert" would get back with me "in a few days". 🤦♀️
Meg wrote: "I actually did find a contact page and sent a message, and it said an "expert" would get back with me "in a few days". 🤦♀️"Hmm. So that means you'll probably never hear from them...🤣

What are you wondering?

If I'll hear from them or not.

Yeah I saw that! The strange thing is it's not just on apps and phones. I'm on a desktop and have heard from others who are as well. They'll provide updates, eh? That was 5 days ago!🤔

I just wanted to share it in case others did not see it. I still can't understand why my private groups say I must rejoin. I'm especially going to miss Ruth's Afternoon Tea and Scones group. Oh well. There's nothing to do about it, I guess. I'm going to make some adjustments to my Profile page and then I'll be offline until later tonight.😕😞

Oh dear! Well I'm sure you weren't deleted from the group...it's probably another GR problem. 🐻

Just dropping in to say good morning. Your photos are beautiful, Meg! The big mountain almost reminds me of a humpback whale! Our trees are just beginning to get colorful. Have a good day!🤗Pammy Jo

Good morning, Pammy Jo! 🤗 According to Indian legend, Mt. Kineo is actually a huge petrified moose! We were glad there was still some color down there...our trees are pretty much bare after the rain and wind we had the day we left! It looks pretty bleak now.
Meg wrote: "Pamela wrote: "Just dropping in to say good morning. Your photos are beautiful, Meg! The big mountain almost reminds me of a humpback whale! Our trees are just beginning to get colorful. Have a goo..."Thus the humpback! I was close! At least a whale is a mammal!🐋🐳😄

Sorry, Pammy and Meggy, I don't mean to change the subject, I'm just doing some puppy work right now, so I thought while I am, I'd share a picture of our new little puppies. This is Ruth's litter.(from right to left; Lola, Norman, Rita, Xavier, and Jilly.)
Ok, now carry on. 😁😂

We didn't name Jilly, she's reserved and the person who got her named her that. Xavier...🤦🏻♀️
Yes, Content is much better!!! 🤣

So cute! Norman looks quite content! I'm sure it's because he's between two girls
How sweet! My own litter of puppies. 🤗💕🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶💕
