If you save your photo's to photobucket, you just copy and paste the IMG code into your post and it won't matter how big the picture is. It also lets you adjust the size of the picture if you want to make it smaller.

That's what I do too! Photobucket makes life easy! Lol! cheesy

Agreed, photobucket.com is the way to go.

Now I have to go and pick up my future pilot.

Tell her to hurry up and learn how to fly a float plane!! The lear can only get us to Kodiak, Alaska and we'll need something that can land on water to get the rest of the way to the see the bears.

I am going to be behind for the next 6 1/2 weeks because of radiation, but I will try to get caught upon the weekends. We get back so late, and then it is time for dinner and chores. I will try to check in in the mornings as many times as I can. We were able to get into the doctor's early (4:50 p.m.), but we stopped for dinner on our way home to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. I think of y'all often. TTYL

Take all the time you need, rest, smile, & laugh it really does help - I know all to well myself SW - as few others have stated we will be here whenever you need us

Hello all!
I am also thinking about doing my first 5K on Thanksgiving morning! I have been wanting to do one for so so long and I figured...why not now? Sure it will probably be horribly cold but if I can do one in the cold, there's no reason why I won't be able to do ones in the spring, summer, and (earlier) fall!

Anyway, Sangria just jumped up on my lap and is impeding my ability to type comfortably, so I suppose that means I should go to bed for the night. The Pines was a blast tonight, I must say! =)

Goodnight, Christmas family! <3

VS awesome for you!!! Back in 1996 I ran the NYC Marathon and I do a series of runs locally now, I only did the NYC one just to be in it ~ go and DO IT

Hope you are all well, I have a day off work so internet Christmas shopping it is. Also hotel searching for my annual Christmas trip to London, got tickets booked for ice skating at Winter Wonderland which should be good fun

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

& now, can you believe it?...less than 1300 posts to get to last years total!!!! woohoo!

this quote from coach was from january, 2012!!

How exciting!!!

well.....actually everything i've learned about computers has come from my kids (sad, ain't it?) back when undrtakr showed me how to post pics, i could get them on here but then it would say they were the wrong size or something & i haven't the faintest clue what to do about that. i think i need the computer handbook for dummies.lol. the kids get so out done w/ me when they are trying to show me how that they end up doing it for me..it's a vicious cycle. lol hubby will show me & the way he does it sometimes it'll work & sometimes it won't.big bummer!

i did manage to get a very few on here but that's it. girl if i could, i would have pics all over. so just wait till i learn....look out! hehehehe

LOL, right I need a copy of that book too!!!

I DARE you not to feel merry after you watch this webcam! I just posted it on MMC's Facebook but check it out if you missed it!

This is so awesome - thx Judesmama I don't have a facebook page so I would have missed out on this

Seawaters- Can I borrow the jet? I just figured out they have a lodge there and a campground!!!!! The fact that they tell you to bring an electric fence if you are camping is a slight turn off but hey, if you haven't faced down a brown bear you aren't living.

That's the spirit Made!!! And BTW I gotch your back babe!!!! Let's go... I make a very Yummy stew over open camp fire!!!!

A Mr. Christmas item being presented without Leslie? What is going on with QVC today.

Complete and utter anarchy

Wow what an amazingly talented person you are, this is absolutely beautiful

My mom is flying into Ottawa tomorrow. I'm excited to see her! I will have to come into work a few minutes early in order to meet her at my apartment. On Friday we're heading to see Bruce Springsteen at Scotiabank Place. It is going to be a fantastic show! We're both real excited to see the Boss. I don't know of any other plans, but she's only here until late Sunday afternoon, so we will have to cram in a little bit on Saturday.

Have fun with your mom!!!!!

 

[made582]

CM3- I'm glad to hear that the Celebre* is working. My mom takes it and loves it.

Sugar- Tell your mom she could just loan you her Jim Shore Baskets and you'll give them back to her after the season is over.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I went up to my brother's shop yesterday afternoon. He's working on a 1903 (?) pickup truck that someone found in an old barn recently. It's pretty cool! The doors and the running boards are wood-framed, then wrapped with thin metal. Even the steering wheel was wood back then. Part of it was unattached, but could be re-attached easily. Jim actually got it running! I swear, if he can't fix it, that means it ain't broke.

We're going out to Mom's for taco soup tonight. While we're out there, Jacob and I can check the trail camera.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Here's a quick picture of that truck.

That truck is outta this world awesome - I love the vintage cars, I watch a show on the old speed channel Chasing Classic Cars I love that show!!!

That is AWESOME, LB!!!!! Love it!!!!

Have you decided who you're going to Phantomize next in your neighborhood?!

I have one neighbor to my right she has two little ones so I will Boo them.... And another neighbor they do not have kids but they are super nice and enjoy the Holiday's like us!!! I can't wait!!!

If you save your photo's to photobucket, you just copy and paste the IMG code into your post and it won't matter how big the picture is. It also lets you adjust the size of the picture if you want to make it smaller.

Tell her to hurry up and learn how to fly a float plane!! The lear can only get us to Kodiak, Alaska and we'll need something that can land on water to get the rest of the way to the see the bears.

Good morning MMC! I am trying to read through the posts from yesterday but I keep getting interupted! Lol! I wanted to say good morning before it's afternoon! Ha ha!

Here are some pics of the afghan I made for my SIL! I hope she likes it! I named it the "In Memory of Mike Afghan" It ended up being 50" x 75"

The blue is for September, my brothers birthstone
The green is for August, my SIL's birthstone
The rust & gold are for November - their Anniversary &
The red is for love:

Beautiful afghan ~ you do such nice work, Holiday! She will love it as it is made with so much love!!!

 

[Meceka]

Good afternoon, MMC!

Lunch is almost over ~ it is the only time I have had today to check in. I hope everyone is doing well!

Have a MERRY day!

OMG!!! I haven't even caught up but I had to tell you all what happened last night... Hubby & I flipping channels waiting for the Yankee / Tiger game (that was ultimately canceled) but anyway at 8:00 PM my door bell rings, I live in a condo that is gated so we figured it was just one of our neighbors, I go to the door and nobody is there!!! BUT!!!! Wait for it........ A plastic bowl filled with candy and little nicknacks with a note stating You've Been Booed!!!! The note reads....

You've Been Boo-ed!

The phantom ghost has come to town
To leave some goodies... I see you've found.
If you wish to make this a happier fall...
Continue this greeting, this phantom call.

First, post this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may visit.
Be sure to participate, you don't want to miss it!

Second, make two treats & two copies from
(this is were the website link is)
Deliver them to two neighbors, try to stay calm.
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt
And make sure they put their Phantom Ghost out!

Next, you have only one day to act, so be quick!
Leave it at doors where the Phantom hasn't hit.
Deliver at dark when there isn't much light...
Ring the doorbell and run, and stay out of sight!!

And last, but not least, come join in the season.
Don't worry, be happy, you need no good reason.
This is all in good fun and we are just trying to say...
Happy Halloween & Have a Great Day!

They have a website and everything, I wasn't sure if I could post the link if it wasn't allowed or anything so if I can let me know and I will in the Halloween section, if not maybe we can do it via an email or something... This has to be the cutest thing ever!!!

LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN I'VE BEEN BOOED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it! Would really love to know the website too.

[Christmasstar]

This is beautiful, and no matter how many times I have seen it, I, too, get goosebumps!

I love that one! Showed it to my mom and she had tears in her eyes when it was done

 

[MerryCarey]

I know I am in awe too of all the pictures everyone posts in the threads I cannot do it I've tried but no luck!!!

Made has the best solution!

[MerryCarey]

Doesn't that sound like fun: driving 140 miles round trip five days a week for (now) six more weeks? Oh, well, lots of conversation with Hubby!

When you're both tired of talking, play Christmas music!
Or old-time radio. There are tons of Christmas episodes on Archive.org that you can download for free.

What a nice shell pattern! And the colors work beautifully together. Your SIL will love it---it will provide so much warmth and comfort. Never worry about an afghan being too big---it can double as a bedspread! Great to snuggle under for warm naps.

 

[Christmasstar]

Here's a quick picture of that truck.

cool!

 

[MerryCarey]

Here's a quick picture of that truck.

Wow ... for a vehicle that's almost 110 years old, that looks pretty good!

 

[MerryCarey]

P.S. to Holiday---You can photograph all my afghans for me from now on! Beautiful job!
