Good afternoon,

Woke up to pouring rain this morning, it was too wet to do the yard work, so it waits another day. It is also very humid out now also, it feels like walking through soup right now. I have to bring JP for his yearly Dr appt. So I guess it has turned into a lazy day here.

Enjoy the rest of Tuesday!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!! Kids going back to school, football starts soon. Next the temps will go all the way down to the 80s, maybe even the 70s (fall in Texas). Then Halloween and Thanksgiving and then of course CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! :???:So good to see you SIT! =]

Yeah, down here dinner is at noon and supper is in the evening...unless you're trying to be fancy, that is!

Haha.. Good to know! =]

Solice & Kimothy- I hope both of you feel better soon!!!!!

Thank you! =]

I hope you feel better soon, Solice!

Thank you! =]

Hope you feel better soon. How cold is the temperature this time of year in Norway?

Thank you! Right now it's 55.4F (13c) It's not that cold.
Im just cold, because im sick... =]
Last winter we had days with temperatures down to -22F (-30)

Solice and Kimothy, take care of yourselves. Thinking of you.

Solice, I hope you are better soon and that you are having a SUPER Monday, too!! Dreaming about Christmas here, too

Thank you! =]

My son and I were moving some of my signs around in a neighboring town Saturday when my truck got bogged down. Before I could call anyone for help, three people stopped to help. One of them came back with a tractor on a trailer behind his truck and pulled me out. They refused any money, and wouldn't even let me buy them lunch. The man with the tractor said the handshake was thanks enough for him...wow! I got all their names, and I'm planning to write a "Letter to the Editor" of their small town newspaper, publicly thanking them

Wow! This is so nice Brad! Wonderful story! :-D

Thinking of your neighbors, Made. How old are your neighbors?

The lady across the street is in her 80's and a bad diabetic. The fire department probably know her on a first name basis.

My neighbor's daughter is 50. She just had 2 veins in her legs bypassed last year and then the 2 arteries in her neck done earlier this year. She just has a ton of problems. Of course she also smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day and doesn't really eat anything besides frozen pizza.

On a bright note, my daughter auditioned and got a part in The Nutcracker Ballet that Georgia Southern University puts on every year!

Congrats to your Daughter!!!!

Good morning, Christmas friends. Three of the surrounding counties have been declared disaster areas due to the fires that have been burning lately. The smoke really affected a lot of people, in addition to the monetary damage. Hopefully, things will begin to calm down before we enter the real fire season! Have a great day, everyone!

I hope things get better for all of you!!

We're taking a long Labor Day weekend to go camping. We'll go to Dollywood & Titanic Museum too. We might go to Gatlinburg or to Sevierville too, depending on what DH wants to do. It's supposed to rain all weekend because of Hurricane Issac. It rained last Labor Day too when we were camping. It gets cozy real quick in a hybrid camper with three people. I'm glad we have cable tv & a dvd player in the camper!

Have Fun!!!!!

hey y'all! had my procedure on my leg today. doc said he doesn't think he will have to remove anymore after this.

I hope your leg is feeling better today and that the tests come back fine!!!

 

[Solice]

note the leaves on the ground!
This is the time of the years when the leaves start to look tired and you know they are ready to change color anytime now!!

Oh, it's beautiful Star. Thanks for sharing! =]

Good afternoon Xmas.
Rain (and storm!) here too! Good luck to the Dr. =]

thanks, it is my favortie place to go walking!

 

[Solice]

Fall is in the air today. You can smell it! Its coming and fast. I cant wait! September 23rd my halloween stuff comes out

Yes! You can smell the Fall here too! Just love this time of year!

Here I go again! I thought I would have time to read some post but only read a few. MMC is running really slow for me right now and I gotta run!

I have a busy day and hope I can get back on here later.

Have the Merriest Day ever!!!

You too!! =]

On a bright note, my daughter auditioned and got a part in The Nutcracker Ballet that Georgia Southern University puts on every year! She is so happy! Her best friend got a part, too, so they are tickled to death...LOL! I've never seen a Nutcracker, so this will be a good excuse to go. Of course, it also means she has to be in Statesboro for practice every Saturday and Wednesday through half of September, and all of October and November. Oh well, it makes her happy, and that's what counts

Congratulations to her! That is wonderful! cheesy I love the music to the Nutcracker =]

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be another hot day here in central Indy but it looks like it will cool down this weekend. Of course it's going to be pouring down rain too. That's fine with me though. We need it. I am exhausted today. It seemed like everytime I went to sleep last night the fire department would show up and wake me up. The first time was for a lady across the street and the second time it was for my nieghbor's daughter. Apperantly she had been throwing up blood all day and not told her dad. She's been in pretty rough shape lately so she really didn't need any other problems. I haven't seen my neighbor this morning so I don't know what they figured out. Hopefully it wasn't real bad. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Sounds scary.. Hope she will be okey!!

 

[made582]

- Did you have fun during the Christmas in July and Christmas in August on QVC chats? Well Guess what. We can do it all over again in September!!! Plus if you ask nicely, I'll have them throw in a christmas show around the half way mark to hold you over.

Good Evening!
Im still sick!? I can't belive it...
Hope tomorrow will be better for me!
Im going to lay down for a bit.

Enjoy your day Christmas friends!

 

[xmastidings]

Thank you! Right now it's 55.4F (13c) It's not that cold.
Im just cold, because im sick... =]
Last winter we had days with temperatures down to -22F (-30)

I wish it was in the 50's around here right now. I'm about sick of the 90 degree + days, the mosquittoes, cutting the grass, etc...

I'm ready for some serious Fall like weather where you can work outside and not sweat to death, where you can wear a flannel heavy shirt and take it off as needed, to be able to sit outside at night around a bon-fire; drinking a couple cold ones and cooking something over the fire....

OH yea, xmastidings is in some serious need of cooler weather...lol

I'm with you on that one. It's been way too hot here; even the trees are wilted.

 

[Christmasstar]

I know now what to do with the kids who do things they should not!

 

[shellie12]

Good afternoon, MMC!

It is a hot one here today. I have been taking my pain pills at full strength ~ seems to be helping. They make me so tired and restless at night.

Hope your feeling a lot better now

Hi everyone!! Did everyone have a good weekend? Any plans this upcoming week?

Back to college I go tomorrow! I can't say I'm upset, but I can't say I'm happy about it either. I was getting used to just working, but now I'll have to work and have five classes. Hopefully none of my classes are that awful.

Not feeling so hot so

Hope our feeling a bit better by now and hopefully you can still work and do you collage as well

OH .... just came from a viewing ... our dear neighbour (original resitdent on the street) passed away ... her poor husband.. married for 68 years and said she was as beautiful now as whne he married her UGH... makes me count my blessings... and I consider this forum aka my Christmas family a big blessing in my life...

HUG your loved ones tight...

A that was so nice . true love ..

I still have a lot of pain and need the meds on time, but I feel that my body is definately responding.

Thats good news hopefully every day is better that the one before

That was really nice of them

I sat at my mom's house for 4 hours yesterday waiting on the Dish Network guys to come install the equipment. They say you have to be available from noon till 5pm. At 6:15pm they finally called to say they were running late, and would arrive at 9:15PM! We told them no, they'll just have to bump someone else and come tomorrow. Now, you know they knew they were going to be that late by mid-afternoon. They could have called us much earlier to tell us so we didn't have to sit there and wait. Grrrr. that wood really annoying

On a bright note, my daughter auditioned and got a part in The Nutcracker Ballet that Georgia Southern University puts on every year! She is so happy! Her best friend got a part, too, so they are tickled to death...LOL!/QUOTE]
Goodluck to your daughter and her friend hope they got on really well at it

Good afternoon/evening mmc friends
how have you all been this past few days .
The weather here has been rain and some sun but not really warm
Had a nice weekend was really wrecked
And we have out festival yerterday which was very good , but at 7am it was raining and we thought it was gonna be a wash out and at 1pm the rain was beating down but then it dryed up and was a nice afternoon
Was hard work but it was worth it and now in a few weeks we meet to get the christmas one sorted. we decided that we are having a international food market, and a santa, grotto. for the switching on of the town lights so we have a meeting with the local council funding dept to see how much money we can get out of them to help

There is some photo.s if anythone wants to have a look















And guess who was mickey lol big story but someone got cold feet at the last minute could not let the kids down ~}}}}

[xmas365]

JP is "healthy as a horse." he put on 14lbs since December, 7 years old nearly 5 feet tall and 89lbs. as Scott Calvin said "Clydesdale!" cheesy We are large families, I am 6'1, my wife is 5'8, both my grandfathers were over 6ft, my uncle is 6'3, and my brother in law is 6'4. Funny because my father is only 5'8 and my mother was 5'1 and my sister is 5'1. I guess I stole her height.

115 days till LOVEMAS!!!!!

YABBAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sugar142286]

Our good ol Neighbor & Mother told me to keep my cats inside, as we have some psycho driving around town PURPOSELY running cats over, "just for fun". Unfortunately, cops said they can't do anything because he's 17. I'm sorry but when you willingly take an animals life, for fun.. at the age of 17, you know what you're doing & there should be consequences!!!! It just makes me sick that there is a young man like that in our town and nothing will be done to him. Geez at the least, take away his License!!.. I just don't understand what makes people tick.

I totally agree with you. This is so sad. This kid should get into some type of trouble - these poor animals!

 

[sugar142286]

good night sugar, hope you have a good night.

hey y'all! had my procedure on my leg today. doc said he doesn't think he will have to remove anymore after this. all went smoothly. should hear something back in the next week or so. hubby was checked out too & doc said he's good to go but froze a sunspot off & removed another something. anyhoo....
leg starting to throb a little now but i promise i'll be backl more tomorrow. good night y'all!

Thanks for thinking of me. Work went well last night.

Glad your procedure went well yesterday. Praying your test results come back well. Keep us upated.

My oldest starts 2nd grade Wednesday, he is getting so big. :sad:

Good luck to him!
