Replying to someone's status post while trolling throught the threads, it occurs to me that I should probably post on of my own to say Hello to Everybody! Sorry for not even checking in sooner, but you know how it is. "Real" life just keeps getting in the way of online life! Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weather change, whatever that may be now that it's fall. (Your summer is my winter kind of thing.) Off to play now.

Hi everyone! Sorry to have been negligent. Crazy few months. Trying to figure out who spends more time a doctors lately, me or dog? :-) Ooooh, she finally had her surgery a few weeks ago. Will put more in pets thread. Hope everyone is well. :-)

Nothing of worth to say. Just discovered this function and felt the need to post something in it. I've been wondering where "Status Updates" have been coming for a while now.

Hi Emily. Thought I would be the first to send you a friend request! Your comment on the "Reading is a Waste of Time" thread reminds me so much of myself at your age! Still can't figure out why so many people have such an aversion to reading.

Hi. Saw your post to Charm, and yes, you need a minimum of 10 posts before you can send private messages. Cheers.

Argghhh, really am far too tired. Now I'm mixing up profiles and pet names! Still, I just popped over to Charm's profile and still can't see a photo album. Aww, I give up for now. Time to log off and try once again to get some Z's...damn alarm is going off again in a few hours, then it's back to being everyone's nurse and errand girl! (Worst part is I have no human children, but sometimes family members make me forget that by acting as though I am their mother.....argh, getting very cranky so will say goodnight for now! Sorry for my mini-vent on your profile.)

Hi Supergran/Ann...which do you prefer by the way? Anyways, just popping in to say howdy!

Greetings Bella! Very nice to have you here at BCF. I wish you many hours of happy reading.

Ummm, can't find any pices other than the baby one of Rosie above. Am I missing a trick to viewing them?

Slurps to Rosie from Keiko (my fat lab ) and thanks for posting Rosie pics. Off to check them out now.

Hello! Yes, I am settled in nicely and thoroughly enjoying it here! Hope all is well with you and yours?

Hmm yes, I know what you mean Bookwormmum...I've gotten quite addicted to these kind of sites since "discovering" these online communities earlier in the year! Still, I'm having fun and find that when I've haven't got the patience to focus on my reading, I can still get my daily fix here.

Thanks for the info. Might sound plain to others, but I'd still love to get my hands on one! The good news is that I now know where I think I can get a hold of one where I live. Hope you're enjoying your time here as much as I am. Cheers!

Well he might be a fat lazy big boy now, but I'm positive he's just as adorable as he was then! My lab is large and fat now too, but to me she's just as adorable as when she was size of your's in that picture. What's his name?

Yes, that would be the island....

Thanks Ceinwenn, for your well wishes. I'm just so damned exhausted lately that I'm getting more than a tad cranky!

Yes, a Reading Log is a record of what you read, along with any details about the read that you care to include. All of the members who keep one on this forum are listed under their usernames in the Reading List/Blogs section as listed on the page showing all the different thread categories. I suggest you take a peek through some in there to see what kind of details others keep and then decide if your interested in doing so.

The easiest way to return to the listings page from wherever you are in the forum, is to look in the upper left corner of your screen. Below the picture of books standing upright is this little guy (not animated though) - to the right of him are the words Book Club Forum. Click on those words and you will return to the category listing page from wherever you are! I have a Reading Log, but admit I'm a detail freak so don't let mine scare you if you run across it!

Hope you are having fun so far!

Hope you're having a better weekend than your week went. I know what you mean about turmoil, believe me I get it! My life's rather one big chaotic mess right now too. If I win the lottery and can whisk us off to an island somewhere where nobody can find us, I'll let you know.

Ahhhh, now I get it! Well then, nice to see you here as well! I'm okay, posted most of my frustrations over at HAH because I feel more comfortable doing so there, so that's a compliment to you. Thanks for checking in with me here too.

Thanks for the friend request Gyre! Most happily accepted. I see you have two feline "masters" in your life. Don't you just love being their human slave? My three are all very bossy and even push around our 85lb lab!

It's very nice to meet you and I look forward to getting to know you better. In the meantime, happy reading and give your kitties a kiss for me please. (Actually, they would probably prefer an extra treat! )

My sympathies to you Ceinwenn...we've all had bosses we can't stand and "those" days you just went through! Hope you evening proves much nicer. Hugs.

Okay, just posted the thread and it's titled "Nabokov Society link."

Your welcome! And yes, I am a huge dog and cat lover. My furries are my kids and I love 'em to bits!

As for the link, yes I have it, the problem is I don't think either of us has enough posts to send private messages yet and when I tried to post the link here it wouldn't let me from some reason. I'm going to try creating a thread with the link under General Chat - the one that says you can talk about anything you want that doesn't have to do with books. You will find this category listed near the bottom of the page after you click on "Book Club Forum" near the top left of your screen, right next to the little fellow that looks like this . I'd love to exchange emails with you after I figure out how and when we can use the private messaging system if you're interested?

Anyway, off to try creating that thread now. Give it a few minutes, then try checking to see if they let me put it in. Cheers.

Oops, forgot to say that I noticed you are a Diana Gabaldon fan too. I LOVE her Outlander series and wish she would hurry up with the next one!

Hi Pontalba! The word Nabakovian under your name in one of your posts got me very curious so I looked it up and found the Hobocth site - of which I'm assuming you are a member of? In any case, it looks like an interesting place so I have bookmarked it for further exploration and would like to thank you for piquing my interest as now I have something new to explore and learn! Love learning new things.

Also, very happy to hear that you have not been hurt by the hurricane. Hope all is well for all your loved ones as well. Cheers!
