Thank you! Play list is posted.

It doesn't make sense to me, except that sometimes removing the photos could help messages load easier. She just returned to us and all seemed well and now she's having trouble again.

It was just another "Hmmm...why do I have an error?... What can I do to change my post to eliminate the error?" Basically, a shot in the dark! LOL.

Don't despair Snowflake, we'll help you if we can.

Thanks, Auntie! I appreciate it!!

This same exact thing happened to another member recently that I was in contact with on facebook. It would work then not work. Really weird but she seems to have no trouble now. I am not sure what she ended up doing. I will try to find out.

It's on & off...sometimes I can do a normal post without responding to a post via Multi or Quote...and sometimes not. Here's hoping it's working now, because I'm trying one heckuva Multi post here!! =)

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!! It's gong to be a cold cloudy day here in central Indy with a chance of some rain and snow later this afternoon. Not exactly what the city was hoping for on the first day of the NFL experience being open. Well my mom has a lead on a new job but she would have to drive almost 40 miles one way. Her car is starting to fall apart though and I don't know if I would trust it that far everyday. So she is trying to decide what to do. I told her that she just needs to apply for it since her friend is pretty sure he can get her on. Then if she gets hired I'll take some money out of my savings and buy her a cheap used car. So we will see what she decides. She has just gotten spoiled living only 5 miles away from her job the last 14 years. Well I'm off to do something constructive. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope your Mom's lead pans out, Made. You are both in my thoughts & prayers!!

Shellie12-

Can you send this link to Snowflake
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Since she is getting a Java error she might need to upgrade.

BTW, I downloaded the Java Update you sent me. Thanks so much! Here's hoping it solved my problem. This multi post is the test!!

:razz:

Hi Everyone TGIF!

So glad that January is almost over and we are one month closer to the Christmas season! Been a hectic couple weeks for me, looking forward to the weekend to just chill out and relax. Hope everyone is doing well and in good spirits!

Hi CJ! Hope you're doing ok, and you have a nice relaxing weekend!

It's really quite merry of you to help Snowflake out like this, hope all she needs is an upgrade.

I agree, Auntie. Shellie is the best!! A real gem! Thanks again, girl =)

Good evening,

Well, my Dr. appt went okay I guess, he wants me out of work for another 3 weeks, I have something called plantar fibromosa which is the partial tearing of the tendon/ligament, the doctor said the only real thing to help it is rest. I do have an appointment in 12 days to have it checked out again, I am hoping it will be better after that, because I have no vacation time left after next week. Arrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!

Thanks for the update, Xmas. You have been in our thoughts. Get lots of rest, hope the pain continues to subside. Take good care of yourself. Hope your son is better today, too.

Snowflake, I hope you can make it back here soon! We are not giving up on you and hopefully can get you back full time!

Thanks, CAH! I appreciate your help as well!!!

Attention MMC!

I hope you don't mind me getting a little mushy but just wanted to thank you all for being great friends to one another. I see so much support on here that I have NEVER seen on another forum. It is great to see that we have not met face to face but it feels as if we all have.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for always being here to brighten my day!

I couldn't agree more!! Well said. You all are so wonderful!!!!!!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! We are off to a chilly and windy start here in central Indy. The wind should die off though as the day goes on. I have to run to the grocery store this morning and then I'm going to help my neighbor put up a new ceiling fan. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great neighbor you are! Thanks again for all of your help =)

Here it is, finally done, just waiting for it to be picked up.

it is a 4 layer chocolate cake filled with carmel sauce and buttercream icing.

That is one beautiful cake, CS!!

Shellie: so sweet of you to forward messages to Snowflake! How are Scooby and Sasha and your birds doing? Listening to accordion and fiddle music while drinking whiskey in a real Irish pub sounds like so much fun!!! I hope your new employees work out for you, too!

Random thoughts on other posts:
I love Liam Neeson movies!
Chocolate cupcakes - oh my gosh so yummy!
I need more coffee, too - ok, this is probably a comment on one of Binger's posts

Good afternoon, MMC!

It sounds as if a blizzard is blowing through here - but there is hardly any snow coming down right now and there isn't much on the ground, either. There is more ice, though - dang!

I woke up at 1:15 this morning to one heck of an allergy attack - took a while for my meds to kick in, but I did end up getting a few more hours of sleep. Quite sleepy at the moment, but lots to do yet today including work. Aw, Mouse just came over and gave me a big hug - suddenly the day is much better!

Stay safe and have a MERRY day!!!!!!

That Mouse is such a sweetie! Hope your allergies are better, Meceka! Have a great weekend =)

Anyone else having some crazy winds? I walked out onto the front porch to grab the mail and I almost blew away!!

Stuffed cabbage is in the oven! We also had some leftover meat so we rolled it into meatballs and they are in the oven, too. We're taking a little break and then I am going to make some homemade mashed potatoes! I love using the masher on the potatoes -it's the best part.

As I mentioned, then I will either be attempting cupcakes or maybe brownies!

We are having crazy winds, too =( Don't blow away!!
Enjoy your movies & yummy dinner, Jennifer!

So happy you found your way back...was going to attribute that to the trail of bread crumbs I left out for you but the wind blew them away!
I am not technically blessed so I would never have been able to help you in any other way.

 

[MerryCarey]

First visit today ... hello to everyone, and I hope it's a good Saturday for you.

Yay, Snowflake! I hope that is the end of your technical difficulties!

It's been kind of a lousy day off and on, lots of little annoyances on top of a very tiring week. Gotta finish some laundry and put fresh sheets on the bed yet tonight, then dusting and vacuuming tomorrow before our friend comes to visit.

Check her out. She is FABULOUS!!!

Thank you for saying that. We're hoping to visit Gloria again this summer. If we do, I'll let everyone know ... if anyone wants to send a message, we'll print it out and take it to her in person. She doesn't "do" computers or e-mail, but she loves to hear from people.

Awww, phooey - you're getting mushy!!!!!!!

;-)

I love MMC's brand of mush ... with cream and sugar.

Here it is, finally done, just waiting for it to be picked up.

it is a 4 layer chocolate cake filled with carmel sauce and buttercream icing.

Beautiful, and sounds delicious!

 

[snowflake22]

Yay Snowflake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good to have you back!

Thanks CAH! :grin:

Thanks, Meceka!! Harlowe is doing pretty good, taking her meds & eating again, even playing every once in awhile. Thanks for asking =) Hope your sweeties are doing well. Enjoy your evening, a good book & RJD's show sounds great to me xo

Thanks for the bread crumbs! Missed you all, too. I know, there's not a techie in this house, either. Thank God for helpful friends!

Anyone else having some crazy winds?

They where pretty bad here today.

 

[made582]

Well you can tell the city is ready for the super bowl next weekend. There are cops everywhere and gas went up 50 cents a gallon today.

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

Like fresh socks!

Only better!!!

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

Don't you just love that new Countdown thread smell?

It's better than new car smell & darn near free to boot.
