[Darcy]

Ah crap. I hope she's okay.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Oh shit! :(

[happy]

Damn!

[Lisa]

Oh god, I thought she had been absent for a bit. This is shitty news!

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

October looks like being a shitty month. :(

[Kimber]

Sighs. We're definitely not starting off at the top of the leaf pile this month. Good thoughts going out to both Derek and Alijca.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

If anyone wants me I'll be hiding under the leaf pile keeping the hedgehogs company.

[Jim]

We dropped from the 80's last week & had our first frost this morning, so that sounded like a good idea, Margaret. Luckily, it's supposed to warm up again this week. My Margaret is on fall break, so should have nice weather. I'm going to take a day or two off as well.

[Simona]

Derek says that he probably will go home tomorrow (the 7th).
Cross my fingers for him :)

[Lisa]

Great news, Simona!

[happy]

Tnx for the update Simona!

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Thanks for the update, Simona. :)

I love you all so much! I think I'll be out of the hospital tomorrow. I can't even begin to express in words how much all of your thoughts, words, emails, and messages have meant to me. In times like these, it helps so much to know that there are people out there who truly care. I have true friends here, and I appreciate it so much. Simona, you are a godsend! Love you.

Alicja, my thoughts are with you my friend.

Checking out for now, but I'll be back.

[happy]

Stay strong Derek - good to hear from you, enjoy your new toy!

It's so good to see you posting again man. You have no idea.

[Lisa]

Ditto what Nate said! I love seeing you back in here!

[Vanessa Eden]

Yay! I'm glad your back and ok Derek!

[Linda]

@Margaret, if laughter is the best medicine, then you are a healer. You make me laugh out loud!
@Alicja, I am sorry for your loss.
@Derek, I read your sister's poignant comments last night. Everybody needs a sister. Hope you have a gentle day.
@The weather report! The 'Downunders' are moving into spring. In Dixie we have not had any fall weather. Lows are 60, still 80 to 85 in daytime.
@Football--my teams won, but as Mother says, 'They won by the barest!' We must suppress our optimism!
Hedgehogs:-)

What?! Poor Alicja! Oh my gosh... seriously, October has been full of bad news.

[[deleted user]]

Thank you everyone. I truly appreciate it. :)

I am sneaking in one big bear hug also. :)

[[deleted user]]

A sneaky stealth hug...a big bear hug...these are hugs that heal the soul. You two make me feel happy. :) *big freakin hugs*

[Vanessa Eden]

Aww, I love all the love here. It's nice to see peace and love and people who care about one another in today's society!

[Linda]

Goodmorning all. Derek, I hope you had a good night, and that today you get to play with your new tablet! My cell phone is a Samsung and does everything my tablet will do. Does that mean we are related?

Weather report! The low last night was 67. Right now it is 75 but feels like 95. The leaves are still green and the lawn is still growing. Not complaining. After missing 8 days of swimming, I got back to it yesterday. They had messed up the chemicals and had to shut it down for stabilization purposes and to avoid law suits I suspect. Since I swim in the on your last leg group, we were the last to connect burning eyes and noses, bleached out swimwear and discolored hair to that strong chlorine smell in the pool. Most of us are in line for cataract surgery, so we can't see. Few of us remember the real color of our hair assuming we have any hair left. We were hesitant to talk about the smell because--well, 'just because.' We were the last out and the first back. Age has its compensations.

Yep. You are tech-bros. :P

[Lisa]

Honestly, where do these people come from. I have had three random people comment on a photo I tagged Derek in, who I don't know, aren't friends with, and they aren't even in my groups or any groups! Now I've got some random dude, once again, not a friend, doesn't belong to any groups, dropping in on my review of. War of The Roses, saying that Bernard Cornwell writes nothing more than fiction, and that it doesn't compare to Iggulden who writes Historical Fiction!!! What the????? Who are these people, how do they access my photos. I know it's not private, but how did they even know to go look at it?? Anyone?

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

They'll have a mutual friend, probably Lisa. And that person's like or comment or whatever will have shown up in their feed. I've come across interesting reviews that way. And made new friends. :)

[Lisa]

Really, is that all! I will have to try and wear him down then on BC, haha

[Gretchen]

Social media is a funny thing. I took down a review and reported an author to Goodreads last month after the author started harassing me about a review I wrote. Apparently this author was very much in love with his/her work and my opinion of it was wrong. Can you block people from seeing your posts on this site? I've never had a problem with other people (outside the author) so I've never looked into it. I admin for a group on Facebook and I block people there all the time when they irritate me.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Yes you can. I blocked a guy a few months ago. Trying to remember how.

[Dawn]

To block a user:

1) Navigate to that user's profile page.

2) Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

3) Click "block this member".


I've done this too, for someone like Lisa got. Totally random rude comment on a review. So I deleted it and blocked him!

[Simona]

You know, girls, all celebs have stalkers... :)

[Bobby]

Dammit...I NEVER get stalked. Gotta work on that fame thing a bit more!!

[happy]

LOL :)

Have been stalked. One in real life, twice on the net. It's not a hell of a lot of fun. I really feel sorry for actors who have loads of stalkers. :(

[Bobby]

I apologize for being flip about a potentially serious event. Surely a terrifying time for those who have experienced it. I think I'll pass on the "fame" thing!

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Not complaining, Bobby. No apology necessary. :)

Fame isn't a prerequisite of being stalked though. All it takes is one nutter with target fixation. Though, interestingly, it seems more female stalkers than male, but male stalkers have a greater tendency to violence, which is why those cases make the news.

Hoping you are enjoying your days off with the lady, Jim.

We are in the second month of Spring here. Unseasonably hot for the third year in a row. Apparently Australia is breaking global records for hot temps. That's us, charging ahead of everyone else as the planet heats up. lol :D

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Holy cow, I had to drop out of contact for two days and I return to discover our good mate, Derek, is back.

Great to see you, my brother.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Alicja,
Hope you are out there and are okay. I have been away from the computer for a couple weeks while my hubby and I had a couple weeks holidays together. When I swung by a couple days back I noticed you were absent and wondered if all was okay.

please be okay, mate.

Are they posting negatively on your photos, Lisa? i have never had that. I get people giving me attitude on my reviews, as you have had. Most of the time I delete their comments and block them. Better to ignore than to engage I find. Block and forget they ever existed. :)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Okay, this is a quick visit. Hubby's first day back at work today and I am catching up on housework.
Tomorrow I'll be back in strength. Will do the Monthly polls too! Sorry that is a day late. :]

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Welcome back, Terri. :)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Thankyou. :D

Good to be back to my normal routine..kind of..more so tomorrow, but still, I feel y old routine is rebounding.

Thank you, Terri, my sister. Great to see you back too! I'm gonna hang out for as long as I can. :)

[Lisa]

Good to see you back Terri, no doubt the farm keeps you very busy. We were all very well behaved too. Except for Andy and Derek, I think they've been naughty!
