Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Bradmac]

BradMac, tell little one I said congrats! Great job. On the flip side, someone is probably partially responsible for being a good parent, working with their child on education, and showing up at the spelling bee. So good for you, too.

Thanks, my friend. :-D

Well the ENT said her ear is fine and that is a migraine. So back to the Neurologist she goes.

Made, sorry to hear about the update. It's so difficult when they can't find exactly what is going on.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!!! It looks like today is going to be the last day in the 80's here in central Indy. Tomorrow we start are slow fall back to where we should be at this time of year. I am exhausted today. My aunt had to work over last night so I got stuck here at my sisters house until almost 10 then had to turn around and be back out here at 6am this morning. I should have brought clothes and stayed the night. To make things worse both of my niece's are sick and stayed home from school. Hopefully I can get them to take a nap here soon. My niece in seattle goes to the ENT this morning so hopefully he will have an answer. She has been really bad the last couple of days. My sister from here said that her whole body would just shake when she would try to walk. Well I'm off to fix some lunch. I'll try to get caught up this afternooon. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I will keep her in my thoughts Made.

Just got home from Dr visit, my foot is doing well enough where I can do full stretches to it again, he said I will have pain for a while, with where I had the rupture in the ligament he said was quite rare so the pain will linger for a bit.

I have to go make my homemade calzones for dinner.

Ciao!!

I was just about to suggest the external hard drive. That is what I use to back up everything in case my computer ever crashes for good. I also used it to transfer to another computer.

You have some other great suggestions I never thought of.

Sometimes I'm jumping back and forth between our "main" computer and my netbook, so I've discovered some solutions!

I know you asked CM3 this question but I am sure everyone has different ideas for Christmas in July and thought I would share mine.

For me the official date is July 25th, the day QVC does all their marathon of Christmas sales. I really start getting in the mood for Christmas the whole month July. I don't really do a whole lot but I know some actually have a Christmas dinner and invite family over. I just play a lot of music, watch movies and QVC of course! During the segments of QVC that I don't watch (like toy sales) is when I put a movie in. I like the Christmas decorations part. I still have not bought anything from them but I sure enjoy watching it all day long!

Also Hallmark has their Christmas in July ornament sales that I enjoy!

I have the grandkids talking about Christmas in July too! cheesy

I find 4th of July exciting because right after it's over I get really focused more on Christmas than ever!

Thanks for your views! The question was meant for anybody, not just CM3. You're right---after July Fourth is over the rest of the summer kinda goes downhill from there, and the focus shifts to Christmas.

The weather is just nuts here, they were talking 80's for today and possibly 40's on Sunday. But this is New England, the only thing we can be prepared for is the unexpected, I think it was April 1997??? when we had almost 2 feet of snow in a late season storm, if my memory serves me correctly.

I don't remember the actual year---1997 sounds right---but we got over 30 inches of snow on April 1st. They call it the April Fools Storm. I also remember in 1995 or 1996 it snowed on Opening Day at Fenway and they had to postpone the game. That was the last gasp of a rough winter that year.

I know what song to choose for Christmas song of the day now!!!

Quick question.
When you work with flowers, do you smell like flowers at the end of your shift?

I know when I worked for a fast food company in my college years I smelled like French fries when I got home. cheesy

Have a good day!!

xmas- you so crazy!! in a good way lol. i never smell like the flowers but we have lots of people coming in & saying how it smells good in the shop from the flowers. that's probably another reason my allergies act up so much. i know my son's girlfriend worked @ taco bell for a while & she smelled like taco bell when she left work. you said you smelled like fries.....oh my goodness, that's my favorite :-( but i'm on a diet. gosh how i love fries!!

BradMac, tell little one I said congrats! Great job. On the flip side, someone is probably partially responsible for being a good parent, working with their child on education, and showing up at the spelling bee. So good for you, too.

ditto coach, couldn't have said it better!!! way to go bradmac!!

hope you have a great weekend too snowflake! enjoy the warmer temps too!!

Hey everybody!!! Just nipping on quickly from work. It's been my day at the family history centre (as well as the whole births deaths marriages thing, we also provide a genealogy service) and I'm sitting here feeling pleased with myself. I've managed to get this guy's family back to 1775 and have got the marriage certificate to prove it which is the important part! It's essential to verify everything you trace or else you could be totally down the wrong trail and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that everybody I have in his tree is the right person.

Just think about it........1775..........

The American Revolution began
Mozart composed 5 violin concertos
Samuel Johnson dines with King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette

and Donald Robertson married Marjory Gray in the Parish of Kirkmichael on June 11th!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

is that what you do, ancestry? must feel so amazing to help others find these crucial bits of their families. you are right....1775-wow!!!

Just got home from Dr visit, my foot is doing well enough where I can do full stretches to it again, he said I will have pain for a while, with where I had the rupture in the ligament he said was quite rare so the pain will linger for a bit.

I have to go make my homemade calzones for dinner.

Ciao!!

did you say homemade calzone? alright now xmas, what gives? 1st the fries & now the calzone......you're killing me here, you're really killing me!!!!

 

[merrymistletoe]

hey ya'll!! how is everyone?

not a whole lot of new happening here!!
pollen is EVERY WHERE!!! can't stay out side. long enough to walk from the car, that's it!!. think i'm gonna go check out the Christmas song a day....oh i hope, i hope, i hope.....:busy:

 

[merrymistletoe]

Well the ENT said her ear is fine and that is a migraine. So back to the Neurologist she goes.

that is really annoying not knowing right what is going on. they done that with me. told me it was this and then it was that..
Now they say its a b12 thing. so am on a load of stuff for it..
thing with a dizzy head it can be loads of different things..
Hopefully it will get sorted. has she had blood tests done?
