We haven't watched it yet. My hubby was really tired so he fell asleep. We will probably watch it this weekend :) neither one of has read the books :) I didn't even know there were books in regards to the series :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Stephanie they are free on KU, just a little FYI

[Stephanie]

Thanks, Berit :)

[KimeyDiann]

I loved the books, Stephanie. I think the show will be a big hit with people that haven't read the books, but I'm just not sure how I feel about it since I already know everything. I think I would enjoy rereading them because I could pick out all of the subtle details I might not have noticed the first time. I'm just not finding it as suspenseful on the small screen yet. But, it was only the first episode.

I really wonder how the shows are going to align with the books. Will one book be one season? Then it would be over after season three.

I just put book one on hold at the library :) I wonder if my TBR list will ever get completed;) not that that's a bad thing :) I love adding to it, just wish I could knock more off at times, lol!

[Tejas Janet]

I watched the first episode last night with my husband. We both had mixed feelings. Not sure I'm willing to make the time commitment to a t.v. show. I'd probably rather read the series : )

[KimeyDiann]

I set the dvr to auto record the show, I probably won't remember to watch it every week. I used to have television shows I HAD to watch every week, now I rarely even turn the TV on.

Happy weekend everyone! I'm so glad to be off work in only 6 more minutes! LOL.

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm the same way, I never remember when anything is on :-) so I end up watching nothing, until I binge watch the entire series :-)

[Sarah]

Just been writing a post and it disappeared. Grrr

Sorry I've been absent. Weekends are infinitely busier since getting our boat.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

All my notifications have switched off. Anyone else having that issue? Haven't had a notification for 15 hours, even though some one commented in this group 12 mins ago... bah.

[Travis]

I dob't normally use it but kust clicked on the G and last notification was 12 hours old

[Sarah]

I just had a notification that someone had liked my status but not getting any post notifications.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Looks like there is an issue being looked at in the Goodreads feedback group. Not that I could see the notification about it, ha.

Using the "unread" function now to see all your witty comments.

[Peggy]

Ah! That's why I receive no notifications! I just thought that for some reason it was extremely quiet here. Hope they get it fixed soon.

[Lisa]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hasn't been receiving notifications. I hope they get it sorted out soon too.

[Stephanie]

Phew! Glad I am not the only one either..I didn't think it was normal to have last notifications over 18 hours ago ;)

[Stephanie]

It says it is only 71 degrees F (22 degrees C) here on accuweather. It feels A LOT warmer than that out. Took Blake for a walk, about a mile is our loop we go, a lot of it is on an incline :) he is now passed out by the window :)

[Sandra, Moderator]

No notifications here either.

[Samantha A]

Today is a very important day for my family, today we find out if my husband becomes an army soldier! GOOD THOUGHTS PLEASE! He's there now and i'm a stressed out wreck waiting for the news.

[Cherie]

Everything I see is old on the notifications.

I stayed up all night to finish my book but I am not ready to let it go yet.

I have been outside since 6am cutting back blackberries in my side yard. Going to take a shower and the start work at 8am. It has finally stopped raining since last Tuesday. I am ready for sunshine again.

I will check in later. Today is my youngest grandchild's 6th birthday. Going swimming. That is what he wants to do. Love it!!!!

I hope you get the results you want. Try not to stress.

[Stephanie]

Sending good thoughts your way, Samantha :-)

[Lisa]

Good thoughts heading your way Samantha.

[Lisa]

Notifications are still not working :( They must be well and truly broken, it's been nearly 18 hours since they last updated.

Good thoughts coming your way!!

[KimeyDiann]

I don't ever use the notifications so I haven't noticed that it is or isn't working. I just look for the red "new" next to threads I read to see if I need to check in.

Good Luck, Samantha!

Not only are we trying to get everything taken care of from the water-heater leak at my mother-in-law's house last week, she has a roof leak now, too! It rained pretty heavily yesterday evening and she had a drip in her living room. If the rain will hold off this evening my husband is going to patch the leak. I guess we'll be looking in to a roof replacement for her house soon.

I just really hope nothing else goes wrong over the next couple of weeks. We leave this weekend for our Disney World trip and will be gone for a week. My husband is so stressed about leaving his mom alone, especially since it seems like everything is going wrong lately.

[CFDeeDee]

That sounds a lovely day Cherie .. I love rain so much .. It rains only 2~3 weeks a year down here :( and never snows .. Happy birthday to the little fella :D

I just abandoned The Gunslinger I went half way through it, I just can't continue with it no more .. Its too much for me !! I'm thinking of getting back to The Fellowship of the Ring .. I love the adventure in this series!

[Stephanie]

Oh no, KimeyDiann! I hope everything gets better at her house! Boo for all the leaks :(

[Samantha A]

Thank you all for the good thoughts, I still haven't heard from him.. at this point i'm hoping no news is good news?

[Samantha A]

Well, he's in! I'm officially an army wife. Thank you all for your good thoughts!

[Stephanie]

Yay! Congrats, Samantha!

[Rusalka, Moderator]

morning all. grats Samantha! hope everything sorts itself out Kimmy.

my notifications fixed themselves 3 hours it goes it seems. let the feedback group know if yours still aren't working though

[Janice, Moderator]

Grats, Samantha!

Is it a long weekend in the States? It is in Canada. The notification bug may still be lingering if Goodreads staff are enjoying an extra day off.

I got all turned around this weekend. It started on Saturday. I asked, "What day is this? Oh, right. It's Sunday." My friend didn't correct me. So yesterday, I got up thinking it was the Stat Holiday and Monday. I was looking at my schedule and panicking because the work I had planned for Tuesday and Wednesday were going to have to be shunted aside because I'm already getting behind. Then, today, thinking it was Tuesday, I drove to my client's to pick up paperwork.

As I was driving by a business I used to work for, I noticed the parking lot was empty. Not one car or truck was in the parking lot. I thought, "Hmm, they must have taken another day off." When I got to my clients', I was greeting by a locked door. "What is going on? Why are businesses closed? Yesterday was the stat holiday." I got back in the car and checked my phone. It said, "MONDAY". I must have been channeling Rusalka.

I've never been caught up in a time warp like that before. While I'm kind of freaked about it, I'm glad that I have that extra day. Things are looking not so bad for my schedule now.

[Berit☀️✨]

Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend, next Monday is a holiday, not this Monday :-)

Congrats! That is great news. :)

[Tasha]

KimeyDiann, oh no! I hope things clear up so you guys can enjoy your WDW vacation. Sending good thoughts out your way!

[Stephanie]

Does anyone here watch the show The Following. It has Kevin Bacon in it. It was the series finale tonight :( such a great show! I'm bummed it has been cancelled :(

[Rusalka, Moderator]

oh wow Janice. how weird. just on Aussie time I guess. twoweeks ago I got to work at 10am because I had convinced myself it was Sunday and went back to sleep.

[Peggy]

Funny that it lasted for so long Janice! May was a confusing month for me too, lots of national holidays and the last two weeks I changed my weekend from sat/sun to sun/mon. I've been confused about the day almost every day.

Last Thursday was a national holiday and some companies give Fridays off too. My sisters company does, but she didn't know, so she had appointments planned and everything only to find out the door to the building was locked. She didn't want to cancel the appointments, so she gave up her day off.

Me too, KimeyDiann. That is stressful. Is there a neighbor of your Mom's or a church member or such that could check in a couple times on your husband's mother?

Congrats Samantha!!

Don't worry, Janice. Very understandable to get thrown off a day sometimes. Maybe especially since you've just recently been away on holiday. And the plus side is your schedule got a nice " extra day" :)

[Lisa]

Congrats Samantha!

[Lisa]

We have a long weekend this coming weekend too. Spring Bank Holiday. Unfortunately there is meant to be a nationwide rail strike starting on Bank Holiday Monday at 5pm and lasting for 24 hours. I think it will be complete chaos if it goes ahead, not just on the trains but also on the roads as more people will be forced to use them. Talks are currently taking place to try and avert it.

[KimeyDiann]

Thanks for the well wishes. My husband got the roof leak patched no problem yesterday. The insurance adjuster is supposed to be there this morning to assess the damages from the water heater leak. Hopefully things are improving now.

Tejas Janet, we have a good friend going by twice a day while we are gone to check on my MIL. Plus she has a home health nurse that comes by 1 or 2 times a week and an aid that comes to help her bathe. She should be fine while we are gone, but that doesn't stop the worrying.

Congratulations Samantha. I'm very thankful there are families like yours that are so willing and happy to serve our nation. Hopefully he gets stationed somewhere nice after completing bootcamp. I have two different friends in the army that were lucky enough to get stationed in Hawaii! Another military (not Army, SeaBees) family I know was stationed in Sicily for several years.

[Travis]

Orobably doesn't want to be stationed here at Fort Drum. Nice place except a lot of southerners can't handle winter, but the 10th mountain division is always the first deployed and last to return.

My BIL is marine and is currently in Iraq I think this is #7 for Iraq/Afghanistan. Then some training excersises I think have landed him in Japan.

[Travis]

I live at the end tip of the triangular fly zone/training space so its helicopters jets planes and now they have a drone over head all day and then flares and night excersises over the lake about 8 miles away all night. You never know if its thunder or practicing bombing around these parts. Some of those bombs shake or are felt right through the buildings some times

[Travis]

This is actually one of the US most northern bases and really became big during the cold war to train in cold weather should Russia need invading. I hink it was cold war anyway. Since then there was a fear of closure with wars in deserts but the government has dumped probably billions to keep this probably one of the 5 main US bases if I was to guess

[Berit☀️✨]

The countdown is beginning, my oldest son has eight days left of high school!

It was likely a combination of holidays, long weekend, and a backlog of year ends. Plus, I never spoke to anyone other than my cat on Sunday. The time warp actually unsettled me.

I was talking to Dad on Skype last night, and we had a "discussion" about the correct way to say and write the date. I prefer month-day-year and he prefers day-month-year. He finally exclaimed, "No wonder you don't know what day it is. You don't know how to speak or write the date." Thanks Dad! LOL!

One of my friends was all embarrassed on Facebook today because she had thought it was the 19th when it was actually the 17th two days ago. Maybe there's something in the air or the water. Or the moon?

[Peggy]

Is there no standard way for dates in Canada Janice? Isn't it confusing when it's 4-6-16 for example, when it can mean either? How do you know what the sender of the date prefers?
