Oh my goodness! Tell me about that :D

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 05:49 PM

It was night time so it was really dark. I saw the horses milling in the road which given my road is a veeeryy bad place for them to be. It's right around a bend and people drive down the hill super fast so that could have ended really badly. We ended up calling the cops to come help out since the owner was away. I think they had actually gotten out once before then because I saw hoof prints and doo in the lawn but I didn't connect the two until the horses were actually out. It was pretty funny seeing the cops trying to wrangle them up. ROFL.

There was also the time that kids from up the street stopped and knocked on our door to tell us that there was an owl in our yard. I went out and sure enough there was an owl just sitting there. We called animal rescue and I stayed out with it, making sure it didn't go too far because it was moving around. When the guy came he said he was so glad that I had watched it because most people would just leave it and by the time he gets there the animal is gone. Turns out it had an eye injury so it hadn't been able to hunt and was emaciated. They took it in and eventually were able to release it.

Aw that's so nice that you were able to help the owl. And that was a funny story about the cops and horses, haha :)

One day I should write a memoir, LOL.

salvete 01-17-2015 05:55 PM

That would be a fun memoir to read :) be sure to include photos or something :)

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:00 PM

LOL, I doubt it. I was quite a looser for most of my life. ROFL!

I decided which book to go with next. It's a French book this time. *Goes off to add it to her list* I should really put the link to that in my sig so I can keep track of it easier.

salvete 01-17-2015 06:00 PM

Alrighty, sounds good! I have to go see my booklist, because I forget what I put on there.

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:03 PM

And it's in my sig now! Yay! So much easier...

salvete 01-17-2015 06:04 PM

That's great! Super convenient place to put it!

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:06 PM

I used to put all of my links in my signature but then I ran out of room so I just took them all out, LOL!

salvete 01-17-2015 06:07 PM

I've been trying to fit mine all in, haha. Still have a bunch I haven't added yet.

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:11 PM

I add mine to the list as I read them. My "to read" list is on Goodreads. I just read what I want each time, it's better for me than trying to plan everything out in advance. Or is that not the way this is supposed to work?

salvete 01-17-2015 06:14 PM

Oh, I meant my links in my siggy :) as for the books, I have a few on my list right now that I would love to read or re-read, but I'll definitely also add the ones I just spontaneously picked up and finished as well :)

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:21 PM

LOL, yeah, I completely miss read what you wrote there. XD

salvete 01-17-2015 06:31 PM

No worries, haha :)

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 06:34 PM

I think the book I'm going to read next is about a dog. It's always hard to tell with French books though. They use the weirdest titles and the weirdest covers so it's nearly impossible to tell what a book is about before reading the summary. Even then half the time I have no idea what to actually expect. >.<

Connielass 01-17-2015 07:59 PM

I'm almost done American Sniper. 221 pages out of 300. I can't wait to see the movie.

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 09:00 PM

There going to be a movie of the book I just finished as well. I can't wait to see it.

Connielass 01-17-2015 10:13 PM

Which book is that?

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2015 10:16 PM

The Martian by Andy Weir.

I want to explore the pyramids (ones that no one has discovered yet though) haha I love adventures.

salvete 01-18-2015 03:56 AM

There is some political tension going on over there right now, I think?

Immy 01-18-2015 04:56 AM

yep I remember hearing about that.

Connielass 01-18-2015 07:28 AM

Not enough to be that worried about. My sister's in Cairo right now, and she said nothing's really been happening.

Also: I just finished one book, only to add two more onto my wishlist. [gonk]

zigbigadorlube 01-20-2015 02:07 AM

Just finished my third book of the year. Another five star rating. Nothing book good books so far! It's crazy, usually I never give books anything more than a four...
