Maybe it's lucky that there are travel bans because what would Sarah do if we all showed up for a boat warming? Road trip!


message 860: by Jenn (new)

Jenn | 3029 comments I think that sounds pretty awesome, but we could always go virtual?


message 861: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments I think there's a 7 hour difference, so we'll be partying during the early afternoon. I can see us passed out by supper time. And for me, it might just take one drink.

message 864: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 18550 comments Thanks everyone.

Yes I'll definitely be having a boat warming party when the weather picks up. Haha, I think we'd break a world record if all ylto tried to fit in my boat at the same time.

I hope the new treatment works well to manage the pain and the condition!


message 867: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19139 comments Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the group celebrating tomorrow. My mom is here for a visit and we are going out for brunch at an amazing crepe place to celebrate. I haven't been to this restaurant for a year and a half due to covid and everything on their menu is off my new diet, so it will be a splurge for me. I'm really looking forward to it. :)


message 868: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments Enjoy, Kristie!


message 869: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 1505 comments Have a great day Kristie. I have just splurged on a High Tea at a local cafe. If you can’t splurge on Mother’s Day, when can you splurge? Well ok there’s birthdays and Christmas and ...


message 870: by Travis (new)

Travis (travistousant) | 6011 comments Um if we all showed up for a boat warming Sarah would probably end up owning a submarine. Lol


Happy mother's day


message 871: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19139 comments We had a really nice time. Thanks!

Shirley, the only problem with my cheat days is that my birthday, anniversary, and Mother's Day all fell within 2 weeks and 2 days. lol Too many opportunities for cheating!

Esther (nyctale) | 5191 comments someone said party?????

Great news Sarah!!!!


message 873: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2650 comments @Sarah: that's super that luck is finally on your side. I'm happy for you.
@Margo: that's good news that you've got a diagnosis. I hope the threatment works.

For some reason I can't reply on comments, buh...


message 874: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments I'm having trouble posting anything with formatting in it. Is anyone else having trouble?


message 875: by Janice, Moderator (last edited May 11, 2021 11:47AM) (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments I hate "Help", but I may have found a workaround. Other users are having the same problem.

So here goes: (view spoiler)


message 876: by Janice, Moderator (last edited May 11, 2021 11:50AM) (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments So the workaround works. If you are unable to post because there is any HTML in your message, first post - "test" and save. Then edit your post and add your intended message with all the HTML in it. For some crazy reason, it works.

I wonder how long it will take Goodreads to fix this. I started having the problem first thing this morning. It's now about 4 hours later.


message 877: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments I hadn't noticed but haven't posted anything with html. And in the app it has issues anyway.

Thanks for the workaround! I'll refrain from adding spoilers while using the app for now. Unless there's no problems with it?

(view spoiler)


message 878: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19139 comments Yes. I was trying to do toppler badges today, but they won't post. Also, I can't seem to reply to comments either. Thanks for the workaround. That'll come in handy with spoilers. I'll probably wait to do badges though.


message 879: by Roz (last edited May 11, 2021 01:38PM) (new)

Roz | 4529 comments I'm trying to update my Museum postings (finished my final book for Badge 1) and it's not working. The circle goes round and round going nowhere. I thought it was just me.
Thanks for the heads up about posting a "test" post and then editing it. Worked beautifully.


message 880: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments It's weird how the edit works but an original message won't post if it has any html in it.


message 881: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments The app doesn't have this issue. I think it's the first time the app has something better than the website!


message 882: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59889 comments The problem seems to be fixed. I've been replying to messages with no problem.


message 883: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19139 comments Thanks, Janice. I did the toppler badges while everything is working. I also noticed that I didn't get a challenge badge for last month because I never reported! Ugh. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Oh well. Fits in with my day anyway. 🤷‍♀️


message 884: by Sandra, Moderator (new)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11260 comments Kristie, I hope tomorrow is a better day! Have a restful night.

message 887: by Margo (new)

Margo | 11628 comments Hi guys, my uncle died last saturday after a 4 year battle with cancer. My mums health has deteriorated a lot over the past week. Hopefully she'll recover her strength but I need to to take a little time out to look after her right now so I you might not hear from as much but I will be back.

message 891: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 18550 comments I moved onto my boat on Monday and have spent this week unpacking, buying new stuff, and getting settled in. It feels so nice to have my own home once again. I knew at the time not having my own home for the past few months was hard but now Ihave one I realise even more how much that impqqcted my mental health. Such a relief. Tomorrow I begin my 4 day journey of taking my boat back to where my friends are moored. I think there might be a need for wet weather gear according to the forecast but it will be fun nonetheless.


message 892: by Grainne (new)

Grainne Coughlan | 1297 comments I am sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. Sending you lots of love and big hugs as well.

message 895: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19139 comments Thanks, Janice. I might when I'm back at my laptop tonight.

Margo, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your mom's health improves. Enjoy your time with her.

So happy you are on your own boat again, Sarah. It must be such a relief and making it your own is always fun. I'm sure getting back to where your friends are will help your mental health even more.
