Christmas Countdown - 2012

[merrymistletoe]

Made, this is my 3rd try........is it really that expensive to repair what's wrong w/ my son's car? I was hoping you would read my post & tell me something i could do. My husband & my son are gonna try to do it i think, is that a good idea?

Thanks Xmas! I just sent him a message, asking him, "How come if you want to listen to MMC radio via Live 365, that you have to be a vip member?"! So, hopefully he can provide an answer when he comes back to the forums....

If you are talking about Merry Christmas Radio on live 365, Jeff posted a while ago that they were looking at shutting it down and just using MCR2 on shoutcast.

I've never been there. I was thinking that seemed to close for hershey but I didn't know of another park around there. I hope you guys have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. We had a wonderful time. It's a great kids park, so much for them to do. We actually didn't get to do everything I wanted to do for them, but there is always next year.

No Problem. It takes awhile to get used to tapatalk but it's nice being able to check in while you're on the go.

Yea, I am starting to get used to it. I would usually check in on my web browser, but I like it a lot better with tapatalk.

I think if you touch the specific post you want to reply to, it changes color and gives you a menu to choose from. Touch Reply, type in your post, and touch Submit. (Hope this is correct---I've been using Tapatalk on the Kindle Fire more often than my iPod Touch lately.)

That is correct! I finally figured it out yesterday.

I had a horrible Christmas dream last night! In my dream I was sitting on the couch watching a TV show or a movie with my brother and when I turned to look at the Christmas tree it was completely bare. Then my brother said, "I can't believe it's Christmas Eve already" and our house had not one decoration in it!! I then turned to look out the window I saw people caroling across the street and we were the only house without lights on the street, we were the scrooges!

Talk about a nightmare lol. At least I know that'll never happen. My mom, brother, and I like Christmas far too much to ever forget about it!!.....

That upset Carl so much, he started leaking coffee!
(But not to worry - Binger was there.)

Good afternoon everyone!

It's suppose to be a little humid out today - even right now - however, the NW breeze is keeping it quite comfortable in my apartment. I'm sure it will warm up in an hour or so.

I had my first physio appointment yesterday. It went quite well. The physiotherapist was impressed with my self-diagnosis and progress on rehabilitating my patellar tendonitis. If all goes well, I should only require one more appointment - next wednesday - and then I may be able to practice the following week. At least, I'm hopeful for then... although it would be a real setback to have the inflammation return. The real downfall? We have a tournament this weekend in Rockford, Illinois. It will be my first missed tournament of the year. Still, I'm sure the guys will do well without me!

In regards to employment, I received a great phone call yesterday. A former colleague at Health Canada is switching departments at the beginning of September and they require someone to replace him immediately. Seeing as I left with 31 (working) days on my contract, they want me to come in and work the rest of my days. Awesome! It's full time for September and then three days a week until the beginning of November. Then, I believe they want me to return for a new (90 working day) contract in January. Hopefully that works out! It's tough to find work here, so I'll take whatever they can give me. The pay is decent, too! Obviously, I will continue searching for another job while employed there as well. You can never be too safe.

Not much is happening today. I've continued my job search to see if I can get any bites. Otherwise, I do have practice to attend tonight. Then, I will return to watch the rest of the preseason Packers game. I really enjoy watching preseason football!

I hope everyone is ready for the weekend. Another 'Pines Day has completed and we're all looking forward to the weekend. A weekend that will celebrate the 2/3 to Christmas Day milestone! How fantastic and exciting!

Have a wonderful Thursday, everyone! I hope you are all well.

I have no idea what this means. :lol:

- For all of those upset that you are going to miss tomorrow's QVC Christmas in August event, mark your calendars for Sunday, September 23rd!!!!

It appears that none of their big christmas event's this year are actually going to be held on the 25th of the month.

I have no idea what this means. :lol:

It means that you have to use the links over at the side if you want to listen to Merry Christmas Radio!:lol:

I know that this may be a silly question to some, but what is "shoutcast"? I have never heard of that before.....I'm starting to feel computer/ software stupid..... :-? Thanks!

 

[xmastidings]

I have no idea what this means. :lol:

I lost here as well/ or clueless.....:-? Is this what is referred to as "shoutcast"?

 

[xmastidings]

Until I can figure out/ understand the MMC radio/ shoutcast item I'm having, I can talk about something else...

I wasn't here yesterday because it was my daughters first day at college. We packed her up and spent the day with her yesterday getting her set up in a dorm. Everything was fine until it was time to say goodbye, mannn, when I huged and kissed her and started to walk away, it hit me hard, like someone took a knife and cut out my heart.... It took all my strength, to hold back my emotions, my feeling and my tears....

She's the baby, and this is the very first time she has ever been away from us/ home. My wife was a mess, and still is. No matter what, as a parent, It's soooo hard to face reality and to let goooo! After I left, later on, she sent me a text message , thanking me for everything and she said she loved me and missed me.... That about did me in....and, is still getting to me, even as I type this!

I do realize that you have to let go a bit, but wow, I'm struggling here...

Shoutcast is another internet radio service provider like live365.

I'll take a whack at explaining. (Those who know better, pls correct anything I get wrong!)

Merry Christmas Radio (sometimes known in the Countdown as MCR for short) was originally hosted on Live365. About a year or two ago, a second MCR, known as MCR2, was launched on Shoutcast. (Shoutcast is the "host" of MCR2, the same as Live365 is the "host" of the original MCR---it's where the files that are broadcast go.) Early this year, Jeff and Jay made the decision to discontinue MCR on Live365, at least for the time being. So currently, the place to find MCR is to go to the Merry Forums homepage, scroll down, and look for the green player on the right-hand margin of the page. Click the Play button, and the stream will start. If you want to navigate away from that page but keep listening, click the symbol in the upper right-hand corner of the player, and it'll open in a new browser window. Above the player are links that will allow you to play the same stream on Windows Media Player, WinAmp (also works for iTunes), RealPlayer, and QuickTime.

I hope this makes even a little sense!

My kids are 11 and 14, so I have a few years to go before I have to worry about it, but I can sure empathize with you. Some parents don't mind when their kids grow up and move on, taking pride it the kids' ability to take charge of their own lives.

That's not going to be me, I'm afraid. My wife and I are holding on tighter than we probably should, but I don't know how to be any different. I'll be right there with you.

Stay strong, my friend!
