Of crouse it does!


Emma | meadowroselibrary I have a small tip for everyone...NEVER buy a battery operated can opener!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️
My mom bought one the other day...and used it today...you clip it on and hit the button...and it just starts going around and around....AND IT WON'T STOP, even if you hit the button again and again!! 😂😂 And then when I took it off and got it to finally stop, it started going again! 🤦🏻‍♀️
So anyway, never buy a battery operated can opener...😵
That's all. 😁

I could live that way! We've had so many problems with our plumbing (pipes freezing, etc.), I keep saying I'd like to do without it. 😂

Joanna Good evening, everyone. 😊 I know this is rather sudden and unexpected, but I have really been feeling the need to step back from the internet. I'm not deleting my account, but I probably won't be online much, if at all, at least for a while.

That's so sad, Meg. I didn't see your comment until now. I have not received any new updates for anything except the quiz page. So sorry that you won't be online. I will miss you so much!😢🤗😥

message 4233: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments I'm still not getting notifications either. There has been activity on several of my groups today, but I had no idea because nothing shows up. 🤷‍♀️

That is so weird!! GR keeps on kicking me off, but I'm still getting notifications. 🤔


message 4235: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments When you say kicking you off, what do you mean? Several times today, when I checked in, I got a message saying Goodreads is over capacity at this time. Try again later. Is that what you are getting? I thought I would stay off the rest of the day, but I decided to check back in because I thought it was odd that it's been so quiet.🤔

Yeah, that's what it says to me, too, that it's over capacity. So I don't know what the problem is!!

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Hi everyone,
As you know our dear Meg is stepping away
for a while, we will miss her terribly and look
look forward to her return.
Meg is a fantastic person and as her friends
I know she can depend on us to rally around
and support her group.
Everything will continue as it has in her absence,
in the meantime, I will be moderator in her stead.
Thank you members.


Emma | meadowroselibrary Thank you, Ruth, that is very helpful and encouraging! 🤗❤️

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Dear Emma,
Anything for Meg's group.😉❤🤗🤗🤗


message 4242: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments Yes, thank you Ruth. I deleted my recent quiz question, as I was unsure of what to do. Someone else will need to do the next question. I will be dealing with some personal/health issues for a day or so and won't be able to check in on the quiz. Thank you!
Pamela

Hi Pammy,
You're welcome. That's quite alright.
I hope things work out for you and your
heath improves. Let us know how you are
doing. ❤

As you all know I haven't been contributing much lately but I still believe very much in this group. Now is the time for all of us to remain together and support each other. I was a moderator of a group a while back and let me just say one person cannot do it all by themselves. Therefore I think it would be a good idea for each of us to support Ruth in whatever way we can. Maybe lead a group read or a discussion thread. Take it from one who has been there that helps a lot. I don't think any of us want this group to fade away. So what do you say guys?


Emma | meadowroselibrary I agree, Doreen! 😊

No one is replacing Meg. She will always be part of the group and when she's ready will be welcomed back with open arms and love but in the meantime we have to keep things going. And I just downloaded November's group read.

No one can ever or will replace Meg, and I am counting on her coming back!! 😂 I have it ready on my shelf!

I'll tell you Emma I just took a really cozy warm bath and right now I'm reading The Last Days of the Incas by Kim MacQuarrie The Last Days of the Incas.
