Well I found a work around for my problem with MyGov besides having to resign up. It's not a fool proof plan but it worked for me. If you allow the site to send u a code to your phone then all you need is that n your password! You don't need to enter in silly secret question answers!! Plus I'll instantly know if someone tries any funny business w/my account because I'll get the phone notification. Still...What a pita of a site :|

[Neko]

Welcome back Leonie :) That's great Apple will do that...But yes when you go offline for a little while through choice or otherwise my how everything stacks up quickly :o

[B the BookAddict]

@Laura 'pita' is such an effective term, isn't it?

Welcome back - I thought you'd been quiet :)

[Leonie]

Thanks for the welcome backs, everyone! This is such a nice group :)

I have now worked my way through over 700 missed emails, a significant number of which were from Goodreads...

It's taken me about three days! I finally finished this afternoon. Fortunately I back up regularly, so I'd saved all of my writing stuff, except for about 2000 words that I'd written the day it crashed.

And have fun at the wedding, Kristen!

[[deleted user]]

Welcome back Leonie! Good to hear you didn't lose too much from your hard drive. Good thing you were only off line a few days if you got 709 emails in that time! You must have square eyes after looking at them all!

[Neko]

I find not many ppl have my name but today at work there was someone w/my name...Anyway I had to do some relief work so I saw my name on the board and took it as that! It only just dawned on me now hours after the event because i thought i was in the wrong room n turns out i was! I don't usually work Tuesday afternoon either...ahaha..oh deary me! xD

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Laura....their fault for not putting the surname as well!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Will continue to keep you in mind, Kristen.i

[Sharon]

Enjoy Julie ....

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Thanks folks :) we are having a real great time, loads to see and do. Today had an element of great sadness though as we visited Choeung Ek Memorial (The Killing Field) in southwest of Phnom Penh to pay our respects, very sad but (to my mind) necessary to see some of the real and lasting effects of that shocking war.
Also visited markets and had a very "exciting" 30km round trip tuk-tuk ride! (((＼（＠v＠）／))) Lol!!! Good times ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!!! Can imagine that ride Jools!!! Memories:)

[Ace]

Sounds really good Julie, been meaning to get to Cambodia for a while now. Did you really stay at 'Best exotic marigold' or was it a lookalike?

Lol, no it's just a very good lookalike Ace ;) The Best Exotic is in India. Though this one is very nice and just as "exotic" and accommodating :)
Fantastic markets here also...haven't come across a genuine bookshop yet though I believe there are two nearby...the markets sell everything from clothing and brica brac to bike parts and tools, even stationary.

Guys, this has just not been my week. I am currently adjusting to a new anxiety medication (the process generally has me a bit sideways for a couple of days). All the while I have a cold and fighting a roaring ear infection.

This post is just me feeling a bit sorry for myself :P

Have a lovely trip, Julie. My little brother is off to Cambodia (and Southeast Asia) for a grad trip in December.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful. You're allowed to feel sorry for yourself. New medication is always difficult, but hopefully as you get used to it you'll start to feel the benefits. Of course the cold won't help. Perhaps you could take a little time to curl up with a book and a blanket, knowing that right now what you need it a bit of comfort. The rest of the world can wait.

The is the plan, Nancy. One of the upsides this week was the new Robert Galbraith book appeared on my kindle :D

Oh Melissa, so very sorry for what you are going through! Chin up and take care...

To cheer you up (I hope) - a couple of days ago we were having lunch at a club overlooking the ocean - kookaburras everywhere. One flew down into the open patio area and landed on a discarded plate. He wanted some left over chips. But all he pecked at was a slice of left over cut lemon!
Well - he didn't like it - shook his head, scraped his beak back and forth on the table - all of us watching were cracking up! He looked totally disgusted:) And very cute!

What a lovely bird, Brenda. Poor guy, all he wanted was chips (Fries here).

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes fries....lol! Apparently (after talking to the locals) they're always around trying to get left overs:)

They gorgeous birds Melissa - their laughter quite often rings out across the bush; at times they appear to be mocking you!

But we don't mind as it helps to share. That's hard for you, sickness on top of your other feelings! We are thinking of you Melissa, your AR friends xx

[Suz]

We have Canadian Geese over here. They aren't birds; they are flying evil.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!!! And they bite!

Brenda wrote: "LOL!!! And they bite!"

They do indeed ... hard. One stole a hotdog out of my bun one time ... what a monster, lol.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Wonder why he didn't take the bun as well???

Hope you start to feel better soon Melissa. Easy to get down when not feeling well. Thinking of you.
