ummm, I know I have not been on much lately, but can someone explain why I am suddenly getting this message?​

I will look into this and one of us will get back to you.

I'm getting ready to head out and test drive a new truck right now. One that I have been watching on the internet for a couple of months. It has a couple of options I want that are not standard and the price is decent. I know what I am willing to pay and it is way below their price so I'm 99% sure they will not accept my first offer but I'm just laying the groundwork right now. I know the salesman is motivated so hopefully after several back and forth phone calls and emails with lots of haggling, I'll get it. If not, no big loss. Wish me luck.

Good Luck!!!

Hmm.
Are you using a new computer?
Did you clear out your cache recently?
Did you change your password or email address?
Do you get it everytime you log in now or did you just get it once?

Forget the doctor. Let's have a party! That's a cure all!!! :celebrate:

I've been meaning to ask you if you've been bitten by any mosquito's recently? They say that fatigue is a big sign of the west nile virus that you guys are battling.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

They were tearing me up! It's making headline news here about the West Nile Virus. I spray mosquito repellent on me now so haven't had any problems in over a week.

Good luck to you! I hope you get a great deal!

A little bad news on my part. My position ends tomorrow. Again, I will be jobless. My job search didn't stop when I received this position - as I knew it would only last for five or six weeks - however, I haven't heard a whole lot on that front. I've said it many times - it would be nice to finially have a consistent career position, but apparently I have very little going for me right now. The teaching market is saturated, I'm not bilingual - which eliminates about 90 percent of the government positions - and my teaching degree makes employers very uneasy to hire me... since they think I will leave at the first chance of a teaching opportunity. I have bills to pay!

I hope you find something soon!

 

[Seawaters]

Will do!

I'll help if you want to swing by and pick me up on the way there.

 

[Seawaters]

So glad you were able to do such a great job!!!!

It went great! We had too much food, plenty of beer, lots of friends, family & neighbors came & went all night....and of course some came & stayed...til 1 am! :lol: I didn't get up to walk this morning, so I don't feel too sleep deprived! It was a good night & I think he had a good birthday! He was surprised to come around the corner & see all the vehicles in our driveway/along the road & his guy friends cooking over his grill in the front of our house!! :smile: Everyone brought their kids & they had a blast! Fun night! We should do that every Wednesday to break up the work week! Ha ha!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Hmmm. That IV might be just the ticket!

You all are going to drag me to the doc?! Wayne is already doing that. I am going tomorrow for some lab work.

I might tell him to hold off so I can have an excuse for you all to visit and put me in the jet. Let's see, take a jet about 4 miles away from my home. Should be interesting! cheesy

I will be okay but thank you for the concern! I am just going to hook up an IV to the Keurig machine and press the "brew" button all day!!! :???:

 

[Seawaters]

That's the truth!

We don't need you doing that again!!

 

[Seawaters]

Made wants to go, too!

Let's all of us MMC gals get together in the


jet and all go get her !!! xoxo

 

[caninemom3]

off to work again I go....will check in quick when I return around 10:30 if I have the energy!

Have a nice evening everyone!!!
&

I hope you have a good evening, Star xoxo

Seawaters, the Learjet ... there's a party waiting in Texas!

Yes, corny is a good thing! Elvis mentioned how he got annoyed doing all those movies. He wanted to do serious roles and not the singing stuff. He don't realize that some of us like his singing movies!

Apologies for dragging in another Gloria Jean story, but it fits today. While Elvis was making "Blue Hawaii" at Paramount in 1961, Gloria was working on "The Ladies' Man" at the same studio with Jerry Lewis. (Don't blink, or you'll miss her---but that's a whole 'nother story.) She and Elvis met, and he told her he had always admired her voice and would love to make a movie with her so they could sing together. She was very excited and told her agent he should follow up with Elvis, but he (the agent) never did. Idiot.

 

[Seawaters]

Ready to par-tay!!! Your Gloria Jean stories are never a drag!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm finally back on MMC! For more than a week I couldn't access MMC from my work computer, and I rarely have time at home. I was really feeling the withdrawl symptoms. Luckily, Made reminded me that sometimes our IPs get blocked, so I sent an email to Jeff with my IP address, and voilà! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm still feeling good, walking mornings and evenings, and enjoying my family.

I was trying to change the blades on my mower yesterday afternoon, to no avail. Even an impact wrench running at 100 psi couldn't turn the nuts to loosen the blades. I sprayed them with lubricant, and I even heated them with a torch. No luck. Guess I gotta take it to the shop.

It's a shame; the mayor has the WORST yard in town!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Glad to see you back!

Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!

Good evening,

Long day today, promises to be longer tomorrow. I am contemplating that it is time to focus on finding a new job, I am so done with them. I won't bore you with my reasons, and I am thankful for having this job, but there is only so much stuff that you can be put through everyday just to be reminded you are just an insignificant number in the company's eyes. 2 more days until my next day off. Sorry for the little rant.

I need some Christmas!


Good night all.

 

[Seawaters]

I bought four cooking magazines: Holiday Baking with Paula Deen, Taste of the South Southern Suppers, Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Autumn Gatherings, and the fall issue of Cooking with Paula Deen. All the recipes look so yummy. I can hardly wait to try some of them. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Hi everyone

I am back. I was busy the last two days and didn't have time for the forum.

@Cm3: Thank you so much! How beautiful!

I try to get ready for very hot and humid weather! We will likely have temperature up to 99 to 100f (35-38c)! I would really like those temperature if the air would be dry. Unfortunately it won't happen.

Yesterday I recieved the first parcel with the english books, I ordered from christianbook.com. I am sooo happy. I got a little crazy while buying books. I bought waaaaay to many of them. Can't help it, I am a book addict. Always have been, always will!
