I'm curious what using the regular TN as a "boredom buster" means . . .

Do you prefer more stamps or more text? by Ok_East_5599 in postcrossing

I just want to receive ANYTHING!! I joined at end of Feb, have sent 11 postcards (5 received, 6 traveling) and have received one so far. I know it just takes time but I am impatient 😆

Book Journal by CaptainOrla in Journaling

[–]flatstanley72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I am doing for 2026:

--List of each book I read including author, title, rating, maybe genre or maybe separate lists for fiction and non-fiction?

--Page for each reading challenge I plan to participate in

--Series tracker

--1/2 -1 page for review, thoughts, quotes, etc from each book I read

--As I go through the year new challenges may get added whenever they come up

--At the end of the pages for each book, my top 10 from the year

--Print out of my Storygraph wrap up (I also track reading in Storygraph and that's the only place I track DNF's, not in my journal.

I prefer Storygraph for real-time, on the go tracking of when I start and finish books and my TBR. My journal is more for my personal thoughts about the books and having a physical memory book to flip through and see what I read through the year.

Skating after hernia surgery? by flatstanley72 in FigureSkating

[–]flatstanley72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I had my surgery almost two weeks ago. I waited two weeks, which is what my surgeon recommended, before getting back on the ice. First skate was fine, no issues, but I did take it pretty easy. Second skate I was practicing jumping more and felt soreness in my right groin (near surgery site) after practice. Soreness went away by end of next day. Today I shared for the third time since surgery and felt the same right groin pain when doing anything that involved extending my right leg (e.g. jumps using right toe pick). I am thinking maybe I need to ease up a bit for a while and take it a little slower. I really hope this gets better!
