i'm so sorry your day started badly. has the migraine & nausea went away yet? hugs to you snowflake!!!

Thanks, merry! Migraine & nausea are gone, just a regular headache & I can handle that. Thanks for thinking of me. xo

It's been fine for me on two different computers today. Just a WAG ... Some folks have been having issues because they don't usually log out when they leave the website. So you might try clearing your cache (how to do it depends on what browser you're using) and logging out when you leave the website.

Thanks for the advice, I usually do that but I'll try again =]

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well this am. Hope you're feeling better now. I have a bit of headache right now, too. I think some coffee and a Motrin will fix that right up! I am sure I am caffine deprived! Have a great evening!

Thanks, sugar! I am. And it's Friday, so I can handle anything knowing I have the weekend in sight!

Good evening, all! How was everyone's day? Mine was great! I slept a lot longer than I should have, but it rained on and off her, plus we had thunderstorms. It was a great day to just catch up on sleep and not do anything. DH was at work and the kids were at daycare, so I took advantage of it.

We got the official word today that EA will start pre-school in September. We weren't sure if they would start here this fall since here birthday isn't until the middle of September, but they told us that they think she is ready and she's passed all of her testing. We're so proud of her - she's a little smarty.

Nothing new here. I think I'm going out for lunch with my mom tomorrow. She's going to take a half day of work, so that will be nice. The kids will be at daycare again, since DH works daylight. I go back to work tomorrow night (I work the weekend.) Even though I do work, I am still looking foward to the weekend, I always do!

Well, I am off to catch up on some of the boards, then I have to get the kids bathed soon. DH and his dad are framing the basement tonight. It's been a LOUD night here in our house this evening! God Bless and I hope all is well in your part of the world!

Congrats to EA!! Have fun at lunch w/ your Mom!!

I hope you are feeling better soon ..(((((Hugs))))))) xoxo

Thanks, CM3! ((HUGS)) to you, too.
Boy, aren't we a pair?!
Hope things get worked out w/ your job, too. Sending positive vibes your way, friend. xo

I know it depends on how many people sign up, but I was really thinking about signing up this year for the card exchange. How much money do you think you have wrapped up in that exchange? (If you don't mind me asking!)

Well, I spent @ $40 on stamps, too. And I sent one to everyone on the list, which you don't have to do..I think there was @ 80 people involved last year. And then whatever you spend on cards. :smile:

I hope your feeling better now.

Thanks, xmas. I appreciate you thinking of me. And I wanted to let you know that I haven't melted yet! :wink:

Good morning! Coffee is ready! =]

Rain and 11c (51.8f) today
I love that it is raining

Want to put on my rainboots and go out for a walk...
..so maybe I'll just do that!

*I'm singing in the rain*

Love it, Solice! Good Morning!!! Enjoy the rain! xo

good morning y'all! is slow @ work so i'm off today. so much needs to be done around here, i don't know where to start.think i might go back to bed for a bit later.

the plumber had to come back yesterday to fix our problem & .....yowza! couldn't believe it when he said $1200.00 for the repair. ouch, that really hurt. had to make sure he would let me pay it in a few installments. all our $ is tied up in back to school right now. 2 in college & 1 in high school is very expensive too. this may indeed affect our Christmas this year. bummer! i was hoping to sign up for the exchange this year also!

hope y'all have a great friday morning! love, hugs, & smiles!!!!

I'm sorry @ the bill from the plumber $!! That really stinks. Thank God you can make payments on it. Sending hugs your way. Still praying for you. xo

Good FRIDAY!!!!!! morning everyone!

TGIF. Its raining and in the 60's. Wait. What? Its actually cool out? I don't remember the last time it was cool out. Very nice. We are having a sneak peek of Fall. Not much new here. Going to Windsor this weekend to help Mom move some stuff. William just wouldn't go to sleep last night! He didn't go to bed until 11 something. He kept wandering out into the hallway and playing with the cat. Sheesh. Well I better get back to work! Hope everyone has a Merry Weekend!

I want your weather, Undrtakr!! Enjoy your weekend!

Good morning, snowflake! I hope this finds you better!!! Have a MERRY day, my friend! {{{HUGS}}} for you and Harlowe!

Good Morning, Meceka!! Thanks, friend =] Hope you have a merry day, too! xo

Good morning, MMC!

It is a cool, rainy day here today - love it!!! I turned down an invitation to go to garage sales this morning as I promised Mouse I would stay home with her. She was a bit under the weather this morning but seems fine now. It is a good day to get caught up on housework and I also need to make room in the basement for the pickles I made the other day. I will be working on store stock, too. This is one of our slower months, so I am trying to shake things up and see if I can increase sales a bit. So far, I have managed to increase total sales by 6 percent. Not bad, but I know I can do better. I think maybe I will make stuffed pepper soup today ~ sounds yummy!

Take care, Christmas family, and have a most MERRY day!!!

Glad Mouse is doing better, you're such a good Mom to stay home w/ her. Please give her hugs for us! And of course some to you, Bo, Palmer, and your outdoor loves too. xo

GO Ravens and Packers!!!!

I like the way you think..GO PACKERS!!

My Keurig has been shipped! Merry Christmas to us!

Yay!!

Now for anyone who has one, what blend of coffee k-cups is your favorite? I have had the Donut Shop one at work and it's delish!

Our favorites are the Green Mountain & Caribou blends. The Donut Shop ones are great, too. The seasonal blends that will be coming out anytime now are AWESOME! They have Apple Cider, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, etc. YUMMY!
Btw, we sometimes buy a box at a time @ Kohls or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. But when we want to stock up, we either do it from Keurig's website http://www.keurig.com/Keurig-Store or Coffee Cow's site http://www.coffeecow.com/.

Shipping is free w/ orders over $45-$50.

Enjoy your Keurig!

I have to leave for work in half hour so I thought I better pop in and say Good Morning!

Good Morning, CS! Have a great day at work!

Good early afternoon, everyone! What's on everyone's agenda for the weekend? Nothing really for me here except work and for DH. He called me this morning and said he now has to work overtime now on Sunday. He is already working for someone else tomorrow, so he will be working 48 hours straight. Let's pray that it's not to busy for those guys!

Today, my mom and I are going out for lunch. I have to wait for a phone call from her, that she is done working for the day, then we're doing that. I think we're going to run to Hobby Lobby and AC Moore too. I want to check out their fall decor and possibly buy some things.

This evening, the movie Pocahontas is on Disney Jr., so I think we will that before I lay down for my nap. EA is really getting into the movie thing. Other than that, nothing is going on here!

Well, I am off to read the rest of the boards. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I will stop back in later. God Bless and keep smiling!

Happy Friday, sugar! Have fun today! xo

Good Afternoon MMC!!!!!!! Wow, talk about a storm. It got nasty here last night. There was so much lighting that it looked like it was the middle of the afternoon for 3 hours. At least we get some more rain. I had some errands to run this morning and now I'm packing up to head out again tomorrow. We have decided to stay here until wednesday. It's a nice little campground and we know the owner so it should be fun. Plus they have free wifi so I don't have to mooch off of my friends this time. Well I'm to get caught up. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to get a box of the apple cider and tell me how you like it. They keep raving about it on QVC.

I still haven't convinced myself to buy one yet. I have a little single cup maker from rival that I use when I don't feel like a whole pot.

Congrats to EA!! Have fun at lunch w/ your Mom!!

Happy Friday, sugar! Have fun today! xo

Happy Friday to you, too! Thanks for the congrats!

Thanks also for the info on the card exchange. I am really considering it. I read all the information. As for as your address, do you use your home address or another one? I can't send my to work and I wasn't sure what P.O. Box address entails. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had trouble with giving out there address. I did see what they put there in the card exchange message. Everyone on here are such great people though...

 

[sugar142286]

Off to get lunch with my mom! Be back later!

 

[made582]

I cannot believe I missed yesterday. I'm the world's worst about coming here in the evening and falling asleep before I get to post. Days are long here. A lot of planning, a lot of cleaning, etc. Hopefully, things will slow down in two weeks. We will see.

See you tomorrow night!

Don't wear yourself out before school even starts friend!!!!!

 

[made582]

I MUST BE CURSED !!! The new job is turning out weird right now. i was told I would have plenty of steady work. The thing is they have me stuck on QA right now. It started out bad enough - I was only allowed to type 3 reports a day. That was Monday. Today I got ONE report. Granted it was long and had multiple patients on it but still ONE report for the whole day ?? I have written to the owner and explained my situation to her but she keeps saying "it's getting better......." She doesn't give me a window for how long I have such sparse work and frankly I am very, very worried. I am okay the for the pay the last part of August but the first part of September if I am not putting out the lines, I will be in major, major trouble......Frankly I don't know what to do. I am beside myself. I wouldn't go back to my old company even if I could. Once again, I am exhausted this evening. Worrying about money does that I guess....

Praying that it gets better for you soon, CM3.

Good Afternoon all! I hope you've been having a wonderful year!! :smile:

You have excellent taste in movies! cheesy

 

[MerryCarey]

I'm crocheting afghans and thread ornaments, making pine cone wreaths, and time permitting, sewing angels and stockings, too.

Wow, you're more patient and have finer motor skills than I do---I made a few thread snowflakes some years ago, but ever since I just don't enjoy working with thread. Baby yarn is about as small as I will go these days.

I love my Nook. I have both the older version and the new Nook Tablet. Others on here have a Kindle. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

I'll second that and add that, as you've already found out, once you choose an e-reader, you're pretty much locked into the .epub (Nook, Sony, etc.) or .mobi (Kindle) format ... once you've bought a number of books, it's too expensive to start over in a different format. There is freeware out there that will convert e-books to and from different formats, but e-books bought from Amazon (and I assume from Barnes and Noble too) are copy-protected, so you can't convert them.

Belated Friday hello ... busy morning at work, 5.5 hours with no break, mostly legal disclaimers---ugh! Got some lunch and here I am to check in on my favorite people before something else comes along. cheesy

I've always used my home address and I've never had any problems.

Kandice has had her last day in Kindergarden today....there were tears.......Kandice, I and the care-takers....brigitte...who is the boss of the kindergarden, was already there when I was little...so I think she took Kandice in her heart even more because of that....so it was a hard good-bye...but the elementary school is right beside the Kindergarden....so she can always visit her first "school"

i tried to console her by saying that farewells are usually painfull...but always....almost always open doors to new great things......and going to the city park with a nice playground helped too....lol
