Steve Biddulph is appearing at my daughters high school in October (my 40th bday too!) on the topic of Raising Girls: How to Help Your Daughter Grow Up Happy, Healthy, and Strong no less! I'm reading another of his at the moment. This guy just seems to be a very calming influence. I need to get reading!

Ooohhhhh...Okay that kinda makes sense why I didn't know about it..Wasn't super active in 2013...But for some reason I have strange memories but I think that's about Amazon taking over BookDep and not GR.

[Melissa]

I know it's GORGEOUS!! I'm doing a night shift so I get to peek at it all night :-)

He has been doing talks for a long time now. I organised for him to talk at our local Nursing Mothers group way back 1991/1992. He was very good. He also gave me a signed copy of his book. Which I still have.

[Suz]

He sounds great. Looking forward to it. Glad you had good memories Veronica, and your signed book :)

I'm not at all sure about these ads. I have no idea why I am getting female mud wrestling adverts on my GR pages!

For all of we moon addicts, the next Super Moon is on 29th August 2015.

Actually, two sources quotes two different dates, the other on 28th September 2015 will be a Blood Moon; this one will not be visible from Australia.

I had the pleasure and awe of seeing the last Blood Moon in March 2015; Vicki posted a fab photo in our Photos thread. After September, the next Blood Moon will not occur for another hundred years.

The Sept Blood Moon will be the fourth in a tetrad of Blood Moons; believed, by some, to signify the end of the world. We have had eight of these tetrads coinciding with Jewish festivals since 1st century, all without the world going under.

[Sharon]

I'm getting toy ads :D

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Probably just coincidence but my ads have been really tame since all of this conversation "-" though I do rather miss the ones about travelling the rivers in Europe on those boats...just saying ;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie has had a makeover, I love it!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z8Dl18...

I so want one, I would have done anything for a book like this when I was young!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

That is pretty fantastic.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I know, I am just about to order it for my "little" self ;P

Have just reserved a copy from Dymocks in the city...which means I will have to go to the city and look at ♫ boooooooks!♫ Ahhh life's a beach! ;)
...which also means that while I am there I can probably check out some other "venues", lunch etc ;)

And I have an ad for an older person's dating site! Where did that come from?

Phrynne wrote: "Plastic wrap lady is back in the ads:("

I haven't had any adds for awhile now. Maybe I'm not googling enough.

[Leonie]

I have an ad for 'Grammarly' to help me eliminate all errors from my writing :)

[Marianne]

I thought it was only me got that one because I had been looking up the correct usage of leant and leaned, learnt and learned.

[Stef]

I won a book in a giveaway :)

That's funny, Marianne!

[Noelene]

My latest ad is for wrinkle reduction but the women is doing exercises and she uses four hands ( that's what is in the picture) to achieve the amazing results. With 4 hands I'm surprised she is not on every TV channel as they are fully functioning hands.
