FREE/BARGAIN - Romance + Discussion - 2016

I was using Firefox on my PC, the whole top section was blank. I'll check again later this afternoon.

Your screenshot is what I have for Facebook too. But that's what it usually looks like for me if there aren't new activities. I'm not actually on Facebook at all, but when there's a cover vs cover or find the difference I'm still able to get the points. Does it usually look different for you?

Yes it shows the activity but the button is greyed out. It's never gone missing. I got whole top section blank on every browser but if you scroll all the way down there is some activities next to the Facebook one unless you did them already? They are asking basically about the program. First one asks you to rate it then the next asks you if you recommend them then the third asks for actual feedback for improvement.

Hubby is the only one who hasn't come down with it. He doesn't handle the cat food or litter box though I'm pretty sure seeing transmission from pet to human is rare it was handling the food that got me.

Yes, I have heard of getting salmonella from handling dry pet food. So I agree that is the likely cause.

Awful. I hope you are all feeling better, in all ways, soon.

Yes it's entertaining but if my country asked me to do something to protect National Security you better believe I'd do it.

No purchases I think truthfully everything is a blur I don't know if I bought anything.

I'm reading Elle Casey's Wrong Place, Right Time which is book two in the Bourbon Street Boys. These are fun reads for me. They are on KU.

They are on Purina One now and each day I see improvements we just have to get litter box habits back to normal for everyone if you get my drift. I'm eating bland foods because anything else just doesn't agree with me. I wonder if I need a probiotic. Anyways the transition to canned food is on hold as is Maisy's sugar issues.

I bet you are right with the infection. Good detective work! Iams made my pups have horrible poos, so we avoid it like the plague!! Yogurt will help the cats. Just plain yogurt, Greek is best because more concentrated. You too, if you can stand the taste.
Oh, make sure you bleach (and rinse well) their food bowls! Don't want cross contamination!
Hope litter box gets better for you. We are dealing with pee-pee issues right now. So I think my little girls' blood sugar must be up. Bummer!

Thanks we are taking it one hour at a time. It's been six hours and no one has used the litter box. After two weeks it's a nice reprieve. I'm using new feed bowls. Bleach is not an option. I'm seriously allergic I mean fall down and gasp for breath allergic. Even a little makes me woozy and incoherent.

Silver I hope your furbaby feels better soon! I fed my cats Iams since they were kittens never would have questioned their quality. When all the recalls in 2011 was going on they sent us free food because they were safe. Something happened in 2014 and the quality has changed and now somehow bags contaminated. I haven't reported it yet.

My FB link came back after being MIA this morning with a "spot the difference".

[library addict]

I was able to do the ratings, poll, suggestions, and Facebook ones today. I think I had answered the ratings before, but it let me do it again.

Still nothing where the specials for the month usually go and where the weekly activities (read an excerpt, etc) usually are.

Glad to hear you and the kitties are recovering. Intestinal illness sucks big time.

I love shifters of all kinds, but bears are one of my favorites. I have a hard to resisting the urge to one-click every time I see one (and you are right, they are the current hot trend and seem to be every third book these days). As for the appeal, well, I love alpha guys that are growly, protective, solitary, and prioritize taking naps and eating honey over pretty much everything else. Also, I'll take a football lineman physique over a lean, mean runner physique anytime.

Obviously we all have different tastes, but that's why bear shifters appeal to me.

Breathless by Laura Lee Guhrke is $3.99. Been waiting a long time for it to drop from $19.99.

$20 for a book is crazy. No offense meant to you personally, but really, any eBook that starts at $20 is one that you should give up on.

Spend the money on your pets.

[Blossom]

If it's as good as Charade was I'd pay $8 but $20 I can't justify. I paid $6 for Charade in 2013.

I grabbed Breathless from Google Play thanks Amy_K!

I got sucked in with those hilarious Shelly Laurenston Pride stories about the bears, and Zena Wynn wrote Mary and the Bear (True Mates series) that I liked as well.

I didn't realise that a huge trend had just started though - any recs would be welcome

Hi Blossom, sorry to hear things have been so grim health-wise with you and the kitties. Hope you all feel much better soon.

(Love your new avatar too!)

Thanks. Maisy says thanks too. I thought it was time for the funky elf to retire. It's one of my sims but I forget the name. I haven't played Sims 2 since I got my Kobo. Both are time consuming hobbies.

I love Shelley Laurenston!

I recommend T.S. Joyce, especially if you have Kindle Unlimited. I am also enjoying the shifter books by P. Jameson (lots of bears). I think a lot of the other bear books in KU might be copying T.S. Joyce, hoping to have her kind of success.
