Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Good evening, Christmas family

Wowsa am I beat !! The answer is yes. This getting up at 5 a.m. and typing is a trick this old dog is not quite adapting to. I don't have to do it that early, it is just that if I get up early and get done working by 2 or 3 in the afternoon there is so much more time for other stuff.

I am planning on going back on my diet the first weekend of May. I was going to do it in April but I don't want to be on a diet when my Goddaughter gets married, that just didn't make sense to me so I put off going back to Jenny Craig until the following weeked. I have regained pratically all of that 22 pounds again. Oh well. You win some, lose some (no pun intended) I guess.

Xmas - I feel so bad that you are sick. I am really praying you feel better. I posted a video in your Christmas Song A Day thread, I hope that is okay. I think it was Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney by Ella Fitzgerald. I just love that song and her voice - Oh my !! She was amazing.

Tomorrow is my next to the last lesson for writing class. I am considering taking further classes, perhaps with The University Of Phoenix but it would depend on the cost. I am also considering checking into an English degree that they offer. Again, the cost may be too prohibitive so I will just have to see. The English class covers ALL forms of writing. That might actually be a good thing for me.

If that is too expensive, then I am going to sign up for a grammar refresher class through the same school which I am taking the writing class. I love school and I love learning.

Part of a filling in one of my teeth fell out well over a year ago and I never did anything about it since I do not have dental insurance. Now 15 months later the tooth is beginning to be very, very painful with hot and cold and kind of achy. I am going to have to do something soon. I am a real pansy about pain.

Wish is still doing great. We switched his food from Beneful Hearty Meals to a similar type of meal made by Racheal Ray. They look mighty tasty and they are 2% less protein which he needs because of his kidney disease. Yes, they ARE expensive but Wish is worth a gazillion more than they are worth. As long as he is eating and doing well, I don't care about the cost.

I hope all have a very Christmassy evening and big ((((Hugs)))) to all but ESPECIALLY to:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London,) Buster, Missy, Baby, Santa's Polar Bears, Sangria, O'Malley, Beau, Taz, Zema, Rizzo, Bella, Happy, Sam, Guinness, Holly Noel, Larry SR, Mama, Happy, Molly, Maggie, Jazzie, Bella, Bentley and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

Sweet Christmas Dreams Everyone !!

Good luck on your schooling! I am happy that you are interested in these courses. I wish I could find something I am interested in doing and take a course. I guess it would be fun what my son did and take IT courses.

I hope you get that tooth taken care of and out of pain soon!

I agree about feeding Wish the best!!! I do the same for my babies. I think they eat better than I do!

We sell a lot of pricey foods at our feed store and sell a lot. I guess everyone does the same as you and I getting the best for our babies!

Good morning! Just got back from my morning walk, heading out to the supermarket in a few minutes. My oldest has to work for a few hours today and I'm hoping to get to the mall with my other two. Other than that I just have some chores to do around the house and I am going to make a pot of sauce. Dinner will be macaroni and meatballs. I hope everyone has a great day!

Dinner sounds very nice !! I hope the supermarket is not too crazy for you and that you have a wonderful day !! xo

Listen up, this is important.
Get the tooth taken care of. NOW. If infection sets in to the pulp, you may require a root canal and a crown, or lose the tooth; damage to underlying bone may also be occurring. Lost fillings are not an occasion for procrastination. They can lead to further decay, pulp damage, root canal, and worse. It's much less expensive to fix a lost or cracked filling than to pay for a root canal, deep infection, and a crown.

No, I'm not a dentist, but because of congenitally poor tooth enamel, I have a l-o-n-g experience with fillings, failed fillings, replaced fillings, root canals, crowns, and dental implants. I'm not trying to be an alarmist---all I mean to say is, don't put this off, it'll get much more painful and expensive and difficult to treat.

I believe you !!! Yes. I am going to have it taken care of definitely !!

Good Morning, CAH !! Wish just loves his Rachal Ray food so much I can't refuse him. It makes me feel so happy when he eats well. I feel like then maybe I can relax for a moment !! xo

good, I was going to tell you the same thing!
Special people need special care, so take care of yourself !!!

Good morning!
I am up and going over code lists again. I need occasional breaks so pop in here when I can. My shelf needs dusting. Hope you all have a great morning.

I have to do my last shift at Subway tonight, which does not leave me much time for study. Next test is tomorrow morning at 11am.

Enough chatter, back to the codes!

Happy 'Pines Day!

I have a question (if you don't mind) before I upgrade my "dinosaur" phone. Does the iPhone store lots of pictures and video? When we take vacations we bring along our laptop, take pictures with our camera, upload them at then end of the day and start all over the next day taking more. Next time we go on vacation I want to leave the laptop behind. No use for it since going on a cruise cost a fortune to go online so no use for the laptop except for uploading pics. I would like to be able to take an iPhone or something similar to take loads of pictures with an not worry about having to clean it out uploading it to the laptop. Then of course we can use to iPhone for online usage off the ship. We plan to take 8 days worth of photos and video so not sure exactly how much it will hold or do you buy extra space? I am clueless!!! You can tell I never had one of these phones! Wayne will have one too so there is more space! (Long winded question, sorry!)

The Iphone5 has an 8mp camera and the base model has 16gb of memory. So it should hold roughly 6000 pictures. Now you are going to be using some of that memory for apps and stuff like that. But even if you only have half of the memory left, you would still be looking at almost 3000 pictures. So as long as you don't go crazy, it should hold them all.

Good morning, MMC!

I am about to put some Christmas music on and do a few house cleaning chores. It will be fun!

Have a MERRY day!

Sounds good! I usually don't listen to Christmas music year round, but yesterday I had to sneak in a couple of songs!

Good morning everyone.

Yesterday night, I crashed! I've never felt anything like that (must mean I'm getting older ). But I've been finishing up my school, working, and getting up early to work out at the gym. Long story short, it all caught up with me and I just crashed and fell asleep at 8:30. I got ten hours and I still feel like I could sleep more!

So I didn't workout today, and am going to get some more sleep tonight. At lunch, I'm going to go out for some BBQ as that usually refuels me pretty good :lol:. BBQ is sort of my "cure all" medicine.

Anyway, have a great day everyone!

Of course it is okay that you post a song on the thread. I started the thread for everyone if they felt like a Christmas song to post it. I love that song also, I still don't have that on MP3 or CD.

I hope you are able to pursue more classes, I hope you get the tooth issue fixed soon.

Good Morning MMC!!!! The warm up continues today with a high in the low 40's predicted. It's hard to beleive that we had 8 inches of snow on Monday and I can see the grass already in some spots. It will probably all be gone by the end of the day. There is talk that we may see more next monday though. I don't see much happening around here today. I woke up with a sinus headache, stuffed up nose, and sore throat. I would blame CAH but I think it may have something to do with the 6 hours I spent outside shoveling snow. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

I hope you get feeling better...and I hope there's no more snow in your immediate future...you've done more than your share of shoveling!

Lot of talk about iPhones on here recently...my wife and I have been thinking of getting one, or some other smart phone. We just have plain ol' cell phones because we've been too cheap to pay for data. But, any more, all new ones seem to be smart phones so I will need to break down and get one when we upgrade.

The main reason I want a smart phone: the MMC forums! I'm already looking forward to the Christmas Blossoms 2013 threat, and with a phone that has a camera, I can post all sorts of good Christmas finds...excited to go "hunting" for them in late September!

Sometimes you just need to "crash."

Good morning,

I will be heading to work soon, it is inventory night. My head still feels all blocked up, I just want to feel better. It will be a long night.

Enjoy The Pines.

This takes videos too? I plan to take a lot of videos as well. Wayne and I will both get one so we will have double storage that he can take video and pictures too.

Sorry you are feeling bad. Remember I haven't been there to wash dishes lately so you didn't catch it from me! =)

Same here. We try to keep our monthly cost down so we never added internet or texting plan to our phone and very limited amount of minutes for voice calls. Something else to think about when upgrading. I like to keep my monthly bill very low. We hardly have any minutes on our phone and just don't use it often. Just recently added a home phone only because it came free with our internet plan so I can finally talk to people but I have hardly used that either. In the past, no phone calls except on our mobile to mobile minutes.
