  1. I've never lost anything from Book Depository and we order from them regularly. Hopefully, yours will arrive soon. Love their bookmarks when they include them. :)
  2. Glad to know that it's not just me! I'll do a search for Hobonichi, Word Nerd. Thanks.
  3. I tried and tried to find the recent thread on a new bullet journal that some thought was a bit costly - the Japanese one, I think. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks so much.
  4. Will soon do an Ellen Barrett Slo-Robics workout - haven't done this one before.
  5. I read Notes from a Big Country - 4 Stars. About a quarter of the way through this, I realized that some things sounded rather familiar. It was only after searching on Good Reads, that I realized that I read this two years ago. Oh dear. I loved it yet again and have given it 4 stars once more. One of my many favorite parts: The last time I arrived at Heathrow Airport, for instance, the official who checked my passport looked me over and asked: "Are you that writer chap?" I was very pleased, as you can imagine, to be recognized. "Why, yes I am," I said proudly. "Come over here to make some more money, have you?" he said with disdain and slid back my passport. You don't get much of that in the States. By and large, people have an almost instinctively positive attitude to life and its possibilities. If you informed an American that a massive asteroid was hurtling toward Earth at 125,000 miles an hour and that in twelve weeks the planet would be blown to smithereens, he would say: "Really? In that case, I suppose I'd better sign up for that Mediterranean cooking course now." If you informed a Briton of the same thing, he would say: "Bloody typical, isn't it? And have you seen the weather forecast for the weekend?" :lol: MY RATING SYSTEM 5 Stars Fantastic, couldn't put it down 4 Stars Really Good 3 Stars Enjoyable 2 Stars Just Okay – nothing to write home about 1 Star Rubbish – waste of my money and time. Few books make it to this level, since I usually give up on them if they’re that bad. My Good Reads Page if anyone wants to add me.
  6. Woke up very late. Hoping to soon do a Joyce Vedral workout, not sure which one.
  7. New thread. Please post your workouts here. Everyone welcome. :)
  8. Going to try to do 4 Classical Stretch routines today if I can: Power Up Your Legs Triceps & Arms Stress Release Zero Impact Cardio
  9. About to soon do a Hamelin D'Abell Cardio Tone workout.
  10. Close, but not exactly. Most of my swimming is in our pool. About once a week or so (if I'm good and disciplined), dh and I head to the beach (but not the on in my avatar, a better one, actually) across the street from us.
  11. The recent multi-quote thread (one of many, I'm quite sure) got me thinking about the like feature. I've never cared for it, as you may see from my posts on that thread. I think it's a bit clique-ish as Slache mentioned. This is what I said about it: Too Facebook-ish. I don't know. It just doesn't seem as genuine and as caring as the multi-quote feature. Yes, yes, I know. They serve different purposes. But let's be honest here. I'm sure that many of us feel rather compelled to hit "like" when someone else likes our post :blushing:. It reminds me a bit of the star rating that we had for each of our profiles, which I thought was awful and silly, rather junior-high-school-ish, IMHO. Every day I wish that multi-quote would return. I also tell myself every day to stop hitting "like", but I find that hard to do :lol: Thoughts?
  12. I'd like to start a poll about everyone's real thoughts on the like button, but I'm not creative and witty enough to come up with fun options. Oh, I may just go ahead and start one now. :)
  13. Feel free to keep lkiing :lol: . I do it all the time also. I do so wish that the like button would go and the multi-quote would return. I know they're separate and serve different purposes. You're right. The like button is cliquey.
  14. This. Personally, I would take multi-quote over the "like" button any day. I think that I must be the only one that's getting tired of the "like" button. I never particularly cared for it. Too Facebook-ish. I don't know. It just doesn't seem as genuine and as caring as the multi-quote feature. Yes, yes, I know. They serve different purposes. But let's be honest here. I'm sure that many of us feel rather compelled to hit "like" when someone else likes our post. It reminds me a bit of the star rating that we had for each of our profiles, which I thought was awful and silly, rather junior-high-school-ish, IMHO. Every day I wish that multi-quote would return. I also tell myself every day to stop hitting "like", but I find that hard to do :lol:. Wish that the latter wasn't there to begin with.
  15. Will soon do Joyce Vedral's Fat Burning Workout.
  16. Will soon be going for a swim, which I'm really looking forward to.
  17. Nothing today, but slept a lot. It seems as if I have to forever choose between sleep or exercise.
  18. I read the 3rd book in The Edge Chronicles series - Midnight Over Sanctaphrax - 3 Stars - It’s not the book. It’s me. These days I seem to have a very difficult time focusing when it comes to certain types of books - classics, fantasy, and any fiction that’s not particularly engaging. I have to say that I’m disappointed in myself. This book, the third in the series was good. I would have enjoyed it far more if only I’d been able to focus. I’m debating whether to continue with the series or not. I’m not usually the series type (other than Harry Potter and the Ken Follett series).

  19. Didn't get to do Joyce Vedral's workout yesterday, so will do it soon. Also a Hamelin D'Abell Cardio
  20. New thread. Please post your workouts here. Everyone welcome. :)
  21. Rebounding and Joyce Vedral's Cougar Workout.
