Christmas Countdown - 2011

[gabulldawg]

And there was one from the boomtown rats I dont like mondays..
think it was basted on a true story in america some high school kid went into the school and shot a lot of people. was a big hit over here
I dont like mondays either but dont think i wood go that far

Yep that happened in San Diego, CA. The girl sat in her bedroom with a shotgun and just started shooting kids at the school house right across the street. When Asked why she did it she simply said"I hate mondays" she is in prison hopefully the rest of her life,she killed multiple people!

I am very excited about the weather! Today is going to be the last day of upper 80's and tomorrow rain is acomin! up to 2 inches,thank God because we need it so bad! Then cold weather is right behind that front,lows are going to be around 40F and highs during the day are going to be in upper60's,perfect fall weather! My leaves at home are going crazy.,the 5 maples in the front are changing and falling off which is about 3 weeks early. But the trees in the back yard which are the exact same maples as the front are still green! mY pear tress are what I really look forward too because they turn orange then red then fall off all in about 10 days...they are very late changing trees though late november or even early to mid december is when they turn! I have a neighbor who said we have even had leaves falling in january,this is my second fall in south ga,but Leaves falling in jan..I find hard to believe! it's lunch time and I am done with my TTS. talk to ya'll later!

Happy Monday morning everyone,

We had a nice weekend. Our church went to see the movie Courageous yesterday afternoon. It is a great movie with a very powerful message.

Quickly changing weather continues here. Forecast is for a high in the mid 70's today but a chance of snow Wed night and a high Thurs in the upper 40's.

Bear season opened this weekend and hunters are everywhere. We live very close to national forest service land so we hear the hunters dogs and shots late into the night. I'm not complaining though, when cooked right, bear meat can be quite good and we have had issues with too many bears this fall.

Have a great day everyone.

daughter goes to neurologist today for results on her MRI & blood work. i have faith that there's nothing wrong. i'm praying & hoping it will be migraines she inherited from me, grandma, & great grandma. don't mean i pray something bad is wrong, just do not want it to be worse, i can treat migraines w/ meds & the dr. says she could grow out of them.
please remember my baby girl in your prayers. she's 15 but she's still my baby!

Awww.....Of course prayers are already being said xo Please let us know xo ((HUGS))

Thanks Scooby & Shellie!! You're a star too, friend!! Hope you had a great weekend xo

Good afternoon, Christmas family!

Snowflake: the Forest of Trees is open now

Woohoo!!! Thanks, Meceka!

Hi Christmas family! Hope you're all having a great Sunday and a wonderful end to your weekend. I haven't been feeling that well the past couple of days. I think I may be coming down with something, but I sure hope not. I've been trying to rest, but it's hard to do that. EA and DS are both sick, so it wouldn't surprise me if I got it from them or a patient at work. I go back to work tonight at 11. So...I am going to relax here for a little bit before getting ready for work.

Hope you are feeling better, sugar!!

That was probably the worst wreck I've ever seen in an open car race. You just knew it wasn't going to end well. Being in Indy we got to see a lot of him on tv. He was constantly on the local stations talking about the races. I flipped through all of the local channels coverage and there wasn't one single sports reporter that wasn't breaking down recalling times they had worked with him. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

Such a tragic accident, my prayers go out to Dan Wheldon's family.
A co-worker of mine was there @ the speedway, and said it was so awful & he'll never forget it. He had his son with him yesterday, too :-(

I MADE IT! I'M 50!

There! Now that I have that out of my system, I can tell you about the advantages of having a 50th birthday;
1) Cake for breakfast
2) Some places still start with the Senior discounts when you're 50.
3) Going out to dinner.
4) Getting flowers from your Sister.

I'm enjoying myself hugely here at work, walking around in a shirt with a big Jack-O-Lantern on it that says "This is what 50 looks like". The patients think it's pretty funny. I think I'll wear it out to dinner- We're going to Baugher's Farm restaurant, and then we'll have a look at their flower and produce stand. It's such a lovely day for a ride, too. I can't wait to get off work so we can get started!

 

[mac55]

Yes....Mamas & the Papas.


Cheers!!

Isn't there a song called "monday monday"? I hope there is because I have it stuck in my head...but there is alot of things stuck in my head as well. Actually the day is not too bad,It's almost lunch time in an hour.,so I guess the day is going by fast. Only 4 more days until the weekend! Ugh that did not make me feel any better...Oh and Brad,I have tried to get hooked on Coffee but I just can't get it! I prefer Pepsi first thing in the morning!!!

Thank you merrymistletoe remember your part of it to. and you do your part like the rest of us. i know you are coming from guess most of us have never meet and most of us never will.. ( but any of you are welcome to ireland and stay with me any time.) as long as you like guinness( i dont) and you dont mind 2 boxer dogs and talking parriots lol
This is the only site am on . not on facebook check my mates as she has one a odd time and i find it to be a gossip place more that a caring thing..
But we all have one major thing in common WE LOVE CHRISTMAS. and look round you to have that in your heart all year long ,there has to be a special thing there
As am sure in your life and many others to so many cant wait to get christmas over . guess you cant change that.(like for example if i mentioned christmas to any of my mates even now i get the raised eye brows )
So i feel its the christmas thing that brings and keeps us together. and with that comes the other things that happen from one christmas to the other that makes mmc a great site and the friends we are

This hasn't got anything to do with anything but I saw it and thought of you (you as in plural!)

Inner Peace
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then you are probably the family dog!

 

[MerryCarey]

Oh Merry !!! I hope this technical thing straigthens out !!! xo ((HUGS))

I tried clicking the Remember Me box, and it seems to be working. Never was an issue before today!!

I MADE IT! I'M 50!

Big congratulations! Be proud! You've earned your age!

Yep, that requires more sainthood than I've got in my system!

please remember my baby girl in your prayers. she's 15 but she's still my baby!

I suffer from migraines as well, I also inherited it from my Grandma's side of the family and I have been living with them since I was in my teens, they can be absolutely debilitating at times, my prayers go out to your daughter.

I've snuck in a few Xmas tunes with my morning coffee....is it too early for that yet I wonder!! LoL!
I can't remember when I starting sneaking a few songs in. I know as we are close to the 2 months window is usually when I slowly start then mixing more in as Nov comes around and signs of the season are approaching.

It is never too early or to late to listen to Christmas tunes!

Wow it snowed in PA. If you look out the windows on the QVC set everything is covered in snow!!!!

LOL I wish I could live on the QVC Christmas set... cheesy

I MADE IT! I'M 50!

There! Now that I have that out of my system, I can tell you about the advantages of having a 50th birthday;

Happy Birthday! Hope you have the best one ever and all your wishes come true!
