Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Seawaters]

AMEN, Lauriebear, AMEN!!!

So here I was trying to catch up on all that I missed this weekend. As I was reading through it was so touching that so many were looking out and sending good wishes to other members. Sometimes I sit back and read these posts and it makes my heart glad and my soul feel refreshed. You here so many bad stories that the good gets lost and this place is good, I don’t know why more people haven’t caught on. I know it is a “Christmas” website, but it is so much more than that. We come for all over and yet here we are all getting along, caring about each other and really isn’t that what it is all about after all. Being there, it really is a wonderful thing. I told my “troubled” youth group about this site. I got the “oh- yeah’s and whatever’s” and a few other words I won’t repeat, but I think I touched two of the kids, they ask about my “Christmas Friends” and how are they, I know you cannot save everyone, and some do not want it but some do. I know these kids have done some horrible things and I could say why bother they are bad, but if I can help one and MMC has a small part of it than doesn’t that mean we all did it, me and the entire MMC. I even had them pick out a few of the recipes I submitted we made them together and we voted. It amazes me that something like this could help. It does, I cannot wait to update them this week on what we all went through with Irene and how everyone was asking about regular posters. I tell them all the times, we are people who many never actually meet face to face but our love of God/Jesus/Christmas has brought us all together. Two of my kids have been touched by this site, I know it is just a crack I have a long road with them but I hope this crack in their shield will one day be a gaping hole and they can learn it isn’t where you came from it is where you are and where you are going so take stock it is NEVER too late to find love/family/friendships. Thank you MMC family for making me smile and reconfirming that people are better than good they are wonderful.

DO NOT OVERDO, and that's, ahem, an order!!!

Good afternoon MMC family! It's not been a very adventurous day here so far...both my kids are napping as we speak. I have a pot of chili on the stove and it smells so good! I did help my husband do a few things around the house this am that I was able to do - feeling a little better everyday! Hope everyone has a great day! :-D

The only thing I ever ran for was cover.

This is my first one at age 64. I heard they were easy. I also heard that you can take a once-a-year shot!!!

I also have a bone density scan tomorrow morning.QUOTE]

Good luck with your test. Have you ever had one done before? I've had them done a few times (and I'm only 25!)...anyway, I have a family history of osteoporsis and where I work, then offer it free from time to time, so I ge it checked. It's a breeze if you've never had it done before. Good luck and I'll hope for good results for you!

This so exciting--both William's reaction and the lights!!!

Welcome everyone. Glad that everyone is safe and sound. Horrible weather, just horrible! Well lets tell mother nature we want FALL and we want it NOW! lol. Almost Pinesday too!!!! We went to the Zoo on Sunday. William heard a rooster crow for the first time. Look on his face was priceless. He then said "What was THAT Daddy????!!!" I took a picture of his reaction and will post it later tonight. OMG almost September. Some hot 90's coming our way at the end of the week but a dip into the 60s-70s coming next week. Last weekend in September is when I put my lite up pumpkins and tombstone on the porch! Holy cow that's coming quick! I cant wait wait wait!!!! Well back to work I go. Have a great day and Monday is almost done!

Where are you, Loksi? My third son is in Claremore.

Glad everyone in the storm path is OK. Now, if you don't mind, could you pipeline some of that extra rain back to the country's mid-section? :smile:

I remember those same thoughts of my little ones!!

Good evening,


Long day at work today, day off tomorrow, I will be spending time getting the water out of the basement. JP starts 1st grade tomorrow, my boy is growing so quickly, it feels like just yesterday I held him for the first time. A friend of the family passed away yesterday, he was in his 80's, his wife and him never had any children of their own and always treated me very well. He will be very missed by anyone he ever met, he was one of the nicest, honest people I ever met.

2 more days until the "Bers!"


Have a good night!

Laney: The 30s were the best for me!! Well, so were the 40s. Ahem, well so were the 50s. Okay, it's all good. But I do have to say the 30s were WONDERFUL!!!

Good evening, everyone. It has been fun reading the posts. Hope to check in tomorrow, or if not, late afternoon.

Well, it's a good thing it's cooling off here because my air is out! Darn! Still some hot days left so i will need to have it checked out. But it's not hot enough in here that I can't drink coffee!

DO NOT OVERDO, and that's, ahem, an order!!!

I won't! As I said in my post, thank goodness I have a really great husband who is willing to help. He even is great at it when I am not sick. He is willing to do whatever needs done. Gotta love him!

This is true. There is so much out there now for to help prevent further bone loss. I don't have osteoporsis yet, I am one step away from that - I have osteopenia, so I have to take the calcium with vitamin D everyday. My mom does have the osteoporsis though, which my grandmother also had. My grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-aunt died from broken hip complications so I am trying to prevent it as much as I can!

I am so sorry for your loss, Ron. I will keep you and his family and friends in my prayers ((((hugs))))

Good morning, Christmas family!!!

I hope each and everyone of you are having a great day!!!!!!!

I woke up early this morning with a monster of a headache, but I was way too tired to get up and take anything for it. Needless to say, when I finally got up to start the day, the headache was much worse. After taking extra-strength pain relievers and allergy tablets I feel great. Well, I am very sleepy, but I'll take feeling that way over a headache any day!

Busy day ahead of me today. Cleaning when I can fit it in between work downloads/uploads and trying to figure out what to do with all the pears that are residing in bowls and baskets in my house. To freeze them or not to freeze them, that is the question :grin:

God Bless all of you!!!!!!!!
