Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Ryan]

Good Morning everyone!

How are you? I hope you had a great evening.

I still on the edge of a flu. As long as I am able to work tomorrow everything is fine. Tomorrow I am the only one of my team who is in the office, everyone else is at the company fair.

I got a question for you. Maybe someone can help me. I'm very interested in the american history, mostly in the time of the westward expansion and the whole daily life of the pioneers during that time (I honestly admit I got inspired through Little house on the prairie). I read a lot of books about it but I would like to join a online community to talk about those times. Does anyone knows such a community or forum? I searched with Uncle Google but so far didn't find anything.

Wish you all a great day!

Hello. I hope you get feeling better. I've had the flu, and it is no fun!
I am a huge Western history fan, so I enjoyed reading your post. The only one that jumps out at me right now is from True West magazine. They have an online community at:
http://truewest.ning.com/

I'm not sure how big it is, but it might be a good place to start. Is there any particular region or focus you are interested in?
Hope the flu leaves and your day gets better!

Just thought of something else...I have quite a few books on the subject, so if you need any reading recommendations, let me know! I'd be glad to help!

Thank you so much for that webside. I'll look into it. No I don't have a particular region in focus. Just really interested in the whole daily life.

Just thought of something else...I have quite a few books on the subject, so if you need any reading recommendations, let me know! I'd be glad to help!

Yes, I would very much like to get recommendations. So far I've bought some books through Barnes&Nobles and Amazon, but not that many. Therefore I'll be grateful for any recommendation.

Good morning, MMC! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. The week is flying by already! I am sad that I will be missing the Pines tonight. Drink one of Carl's concoctions for me! ;]

I am in a rush this morning! I am packing a lot of last minute things, weighing my suitcase, tossing liquids into the bag, and hoping that I didn't forget anything. I hate that feeling - no matter what, I keep thinking that I forgot something. I made a list a few weeks ago and as I pack things, I scratch them off. I hope I didn't forget anything obvious. I have to finish getting ready and then my flight is in a few hours. I will hopefully talk to you guys at the beginning of next week! I might be able to pop online at some point since I will have internet access in the room.

Wish me luck for a safe flight :] I will miss chatting with you all - take care of yourselves and your families! I will keep praying for you all daily!

Good evening, Christmas family

I am on my way to bed. I am super, super tired tonight. I am a little worried about my Hermione. The right side of her face is all swollen up. She is not acting sick. She is breathing just fine, playing normally, eating normally but that side of her face is REALLY swollen. I looked in her mouth, no sores, no tenderness. I can't figure it out. I am going to see if it resolves in the next day or so and if not, to the doctor she goes.

Praying that everything is okay with her.

 

[made582]

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a hot day here in central Indy with a high of 81 degree's. Boo!! I want my cold weather back. At least I don't have wait long. A major cold front is going to come through on friday. I don't have much on the agenda for today. Just more cleaning. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Long time, no see....good evening. Had to work late tonight...just getting home. Having some issues with some things at school with some unhappy parents and trying to get things resolved. Then you got paperwork, then more paperwork.

Anyways....it sure makes me ready for Thanksgiving. We gotta go buy some stuff for Halloween this weekend, but Thursday I'm getting Christmas light out and Sunday I'm putting them up. Not going to get them plugged up, but they will be ready for the night before Thanksgiving.

Was going to try to catch up, but there are over 50 some odd pages, so it's gonna have to wait!

Good night friends! See you later!

I will be starting to put my lights up probably next weekend. I can't believe how close it is. cheesy

 

[xmas365]

Good morning,

Work beckons in a few hours. I believe I finished ripping music from CD's to put on my Mp3 player, I put over 430 Christmas songs on it and have a bunch of CD's I did not take songs from I could still go through. I can't believe how close we are to decorating now, I need to start replenishing my mini lights quickly.
Just a bit of relaxing before heading to work.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Wednesday hello ... Catching up with all your news and GLITTER. I caught a few minutes of QVC last night and was impressed with the prelit Bethlehem Lights trees whose lights connect through the trunk instead of separate plugs. They start at 6-1/2 feet, though. I'm looking for a 4-1/2-foot tree, because I put mine on a table to save floor space. Maybe it's online somewhere.

Thank You! That was what prompted me to make the move in the first place, they were promoting this - you can get an overall 10% cost savings by "bundling" everything together with one company, so I kinda figured, ah why not. I guess there is one good thing about it, is that there will only be one bill to pay instead of 3 like I had previously. That will my life a little bit more easier and save on stamps as well...cheesy I hope everything goes and stays well with your combining of services as well!

Thank you! In our case, the customer service is SO much easier to reach and to deal with than our previous Internet provider. That's worth the price right there, plus it winds up costing us less for better service. And they provide some streaming programs that I can watch on my iPad.

Does he have on his Christmas robe?

...


hey wake up xmas....you're drooling! go to bed dude!!!!

 

[Seawaters]

You are going to love it there! A "must-see" is the "flight" over California. I can't remember the name of it, but it is wonderful. Hubby and I also enjoyed the "shows" that featured 3-D and even included smells like apple pie, oranges, etc. Not too fond of the "mice," though!

Good night, everyone!!! Vacation tomorrow! Please pray for a safe flight.

Will try my best to check in!
