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.
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.

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. :)
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 ...
Um if we all showed up for a boat warming Sarah would probably end up owning a submarine. LolHappy mother's day
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!
@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...
I hate "Help", but I may have found a workaround. Other users are having the same problem.So here goes: (view spoiler)
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.
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?

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.
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.
The app doesn't have this issue. I think it's the first time the app has something better than the website!
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. 🤷♀️

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.
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. I hope your mother recovers her health and strength soon.
I am so sorry for your loss Margo. Sending big hugs to you. I hope your mum's health improves. Take care of yourself.
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.
I am sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. Sending you lots of love and big hugs as well.That’s wonderful news Sarah! I am glad that it’s all getting some shape on it. Good luck with your journey to moor your boat close to your friends.
I'm really sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. He put up a valiant fight. I hope your mother's health improves. You all have been through so much this past little while. Big hugs!
I'm glad you're settling in to your new home, Sarah. It's so exciting to get it outfitted just the way you want!
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.
I am so sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. I hope your mother recovers soon. Hugs to you and your family.
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle, Margo. I know he was a special person in your life. Thinking of you and yours during this time *hugs*. I hope your Mum feels a bit better soon. It's been a hard couple of months for you all.
