Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

I downloaded it last Friday morning, and it took about 45 minutes (on an iPhone 5 bought in May) using Wi-Fi. I'm not a heavy iPhone user, but I haven't noticed much difference in battery usage or other functions. I'm still getting used to iOS7. Not sure I like the New Look, but I'll have to get used to it! I fiddled a little with iTunes Radio last night, and I think I'll like it. As long as the phone and apps will still work, it'll be okay. I haven't updated my iPad yet. It's a little older, and I want to hook it up to the computer to update it and make sure I have time to "babysit" it while it downloads and installs.

I'm fretting over when to have Gloria update her iPad ... if something goes wrong, it'll be hard to help her from 6,000 miles away. And she's been doing so well with it, I hate to shake things up. I wonder if it can wait until next year when we visit her again?

I'm working on a Christmas afghan, too, and it's going awfully slowly. It's a single-crochet ripple, and I forgot how slowly single crochet grows. Now I understand why my mom always made double-crochet ripples!

Glad to hear that you're not having any problems with it, minus the adjustment period!

Enjoy working on your Christmas afghan, I'm sure it's beautiful & rewarding!!

I have found my second home!

I went to North Pole City, our local Christmas shop. Sadly I have never been in here before, to my shame! I was greeted with the smells of Christmas, the sounds of Christmas (great music playing) and the sights of Christmas! It is great. I am going to bring the kids this weekend.

Yes, yes - love um all! I was 7 when my 1st niece was born, so I've been an Aunt for quite a long time now! :lol: (My oldest sister was 19 when I was born - Mom had 5 babies stairstep, 7 years later my sister, 7 years later...ME!) Crazy lady! Every time she sent her baby to kindergarten she got pregnant again. Ha ha ha...

Yes, what are your thoughts everyone?!

I know Ryan said he downloaded it, too.

I've heard both good and bad things. My sister loves it, and has had no problems!!

A friend of Adrian's lost half of his contacts :/
And said his battery wears down much faster.

Nervous to do it! LOL.

After going through a mess when replacing my broken IPhone, I'm Leary...

My sister said overall she really likes it. We both have the 4S. From what I can tell it will be ok, but I hope the battery doesn't wear down any faster. I don't know how it can...seems like it is always going dead on me!!

I like it and have had no issues. It took about 20 minutes and everything transferred over. As a disclaimer, I am using the iPhone 5. Some of the previous generations of iPhones are having more trouble, from folks I have talked to. So far it's seamless for me. Hope all of you have good luck!

That's good to hear!!!!

Forgot that one problem, my battery runs down really fast when I am using my phone. When it is just sitting not in use it is fine.

UGH....NOT what I want to hear. Mine is the same way - before the download.

Good luck with teaching Gloria. Hopefully she won't have any problem! And hopefully it will wait until you see her again!

Oh ya - single crochet ripples do take a long time. My Mom makes those - she whips right through them, but she is retired & can crochet for hours every day! And night! Can't wait to see pictures!!!

Do any of our cooks out there have a good cupcake recipe: chocolate or white (homemade, not box)?
