Ok, I finally downloaded Tapatalk on my phone, but I can't figure out how to post. What am I missing?

 

[Holiday]

Never seen Love before? Oh the humanity!!!!!!!!

DVR?? NO!!!! You have to be here in person!!!!! LOL!!!!

The lone ranger story, the meatball on the top of the tree, Darlene Love, the whole show is quite the experience!!!!!

LOL!! When does it usually air??



Victoria - I enjoyed looking at your pictures!! How fun!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[Holiday]

Well mom's test results weren't the best so we get to go to yet another doctor. Pretty soon, every one in town is going to know us.

Oh no!! I hope they get something figured out for her!! Keeping you all in my prayers!

Good evening, MMC!

The storm last night brought a lot of rain and a few scary looking clouds, but all in all it was rather nice as the humidity went way down and the sound of the rain on the roof was soothing. As least it was soothing to me; Palmer hid under the chair after she alerted me that the storm was almost here. Thank you so much for all the well wishes for safety! {{{HUGS}}}

I made corn stock and it smells so good. It will be yummy in chowder this winter. I need to package it up now that it is has cooled and then do chores.

Be MERRY!!!

Corn stock? Mmmm! I bet that is yummy! Glad you were safe in the storms. We had some nasty looking clouds/rain come through here too last night...of course I was out in the convertible. :lol: Had to pull over & put the top up!

Have you added MMC as a forum?
If so, just click on it. You may have to search for the countdown thread. It's been a few years for me, so I can't remember how I set it all up =]

Then just write reply near bottom of screen, or tap on what you want to quote.

This is how I have my settings, if that helps at all:

I saw these this week, and couldn't pass them up! Plus, I had coupons! [emoji258][emoji316][emoji260][emoji262][emoji270]

Super CUTE!!!

That's so exciting! Sounds like things are really coming a long. I bet your kitchen will be beautiful!

Thanks sugar!! Hope we like it when it's done! :lol: Have a great day!

Good evening,

Thank you all for the kind words for my grandmother.

I probably should have stayed home today, I am feeling so sick, but JP and I went to see the movie, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." It was very good, we really enjoyed it. My wife took LC to see "Maleficent" which they both enjoyed. Then we went to get some of the boys back to school shopping done

I am heading to bed, I need to start feeling better for work tomorrow.


Good night, everyone

I hope you're feeling better xmas, have a nice day!

Good morning everyone! :grin: Hope you all are doing well. I'm heading to the campus today. I need a walk, print my tickets out and return some books to the library.

Also, I am glad you liked the pictures. I am not sure if you expected more of them and in higher quality but I didn't take many pictures in general. That probably isn't a good thing having in mind how once-in-a-lifetime event the Games was but I somehow manage not to have my camera handy, or it runs out of battery, in the moments when I mostly need it.

Have a good day! We are already in the mid of workweek so hold on. ^^

I loved the pictures Victoria!
I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!

Happy Pines Day!!! [emoji268][emoji268]

Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful day~

Good morning Snowflake!
That's a beautiful picture!
I hope you have a blessed day as well!
xo

Good morning everyone. I hope you all are doing great. Happy Pines Day!

Good morning & Happy Pines Day Ryan!

Good Morning, Post-Milestone People.

Yes, in case you missed it yesterday, we passed through the 100-day Season
Window and have proceeded with great anticipation (and caution) into double-digit territory.

Days to the Season: 99
Days to Christmas Day: 141

(And my, but don't those double nines look niiiiice!)


The temps continue to climb a bit day by day but we are
still below our normal levels for this time of the year.
The humidity is creeping up a bit as well.
This morning, we have begun our day here at 71 degrees.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

And try to join us if you can for tonight's visit at the 'Pines for Weekly Open House.
Tonight's theme is "An August Welcome", with a double meaning no doubt (in honor
of reaching a double digit count) and as usual, Carl will do his best to make everyone
comfortable and happy with lots of fired twinkies and sweet southern iced tea at its best.

See you there, Folks!

Thanks Crown!
Happy Pines Day!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I left work early yesterday. The boss stuck is head in my door and invited me to play golf. "Sure!", I said. It's been a while since I've played, but I didn't stink it up. There were four of us, and we played 2-man teams. I played with the boss, and we won. It's smart not to beat the boss...LOL!

It's supposed to be nearly 100° today. I'm staying indoors!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Have a great day Brad, keep cool!!!

Good morning!
Just popping in quick to say hello. I'm heading out to run a couple of errands as soon as I finish my cup of coffee. I didn't get anything done yesterday and I really need to catch up today. My daughter's post-op appointment went well, the doctor said she is healing nicely. Hopefully she'll be back to feeling 100% soon. She goes back to work next week. We have been having problems with our internet & phones and have had workers at the house trying to figure out what the problem is. Well they showed up again yesterday and ended up being here for a few hours. The good thing is it looks like the issues have been resolved. My parents also showed up for a visit so the day just got away from me. So today I need to run to the supermarket for a few things, Rite Aid and also Target. Then back home to work on some chores and order more dorm stuff online. I also need to place an order for my daughter's text books so they will be ready to be picked up when she gets there.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Glad you had fun yesterday! Hope you are feeling better today!! Keeping you & your Grandma in my thoughts!

They are very nice. I especially like the second one. It looks very vintage to me. :]

Have a great day Victoria! Always seems batteries on camera's/phones go dead when you want it the most!

I downloaded it too - but about the only time I want to use it is at the lake & we have terrible reception there & our internet is down. Go figure! Good luck!

Good morning HMG!! Sounds like you had a good day yesterday - a visit from your parents AND hopefully now your phone & internet problems are taken care of. Hope you can get all your running done today! Have a great day!

Good morning MMC!!! Happy Hump Day ~ Happy Pines Day!

Well, all of our tile is in outside & dirt is leveled back out & he back filled the area around our new addition....and none too soon before it started POURING!!!! Wew!!! After 3 trips to the hardware store yesterday, we have the ceiling painted in the kitchen. But of course there is a story there too - I was doing the trim work when I bumped the paint tray off of the ladder & onto the carpet, my ficus tree, & the box our new ceiling fan is in! THANKFULLY the carpet it spilled on is going to be cut out anyway for the new laminate. Geesh! It wiped off the ficus tree nicely & also the box. We wiped it up best we could from the bare wood floor so it didn't get walked through & drug through the house (Miss Gracie!) There's always something that has to not go right it seems. :lol: There is talk of ripping out the bathroom tonight. EEK!!! That's going to get interesting!

Hope you are all having a GREAT day!!!!

:merry:
