Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

I would love to but I'm embarrased to say I am not very techy. If I can figure out how to do it I definitely will!

The easiest way to post a picture on here is sign up for a Photobucket account. Then follow these instructions.

Okay, here is the Instructions on how to post a picture from the new Photobucket website. I've also included how to resize the pictures.

To post a photo using photobucket
1. Sign in to your account on Photobucket


2. To upload a photo click on "upload". Then click on "Browse files" to find photo on your computer. Once you select files to upload click "upload" button again. (To select more than one photo, Hold down the "CTRL" button on your keyboard while selecting photos)


3. Once upload is done click on "view library". (If the picture you want to post has already been uploaded just skip to this step after you log in)


4. Double click on picture that you want to post.


5. On right hand side of page, look for the "Img code" under the Image links.


6. Move your mouse cursor over to the "Img code" until you see a hand appear.


7. Click on the code. The box should turn yellow and the word copied should pop up.


8. Go back to MMC.


9. In the post that you want to put the picture click on the right mouse button.


10. Click on the "paste" option.


11. The "Img code" should show in the post and when posted the Image will appear.

To resize an Image using a photobucket
1. After the Image has been uploaded, click on the "Edit" tab.


2. Select Image that you want to resize.


3. Click on the "Adjustment" button under the picture.


4. A bunch of buttons will pop up. Click on the one that says "resize".


5. Change the numbers in the width and height boxes to the size you want. (450 X 450 is good for MMC)


6. Click on Apply.


7. If you like the size of the picture then click on "Save and Replace" above the picture.


8. Then follow the instructions above to post the picture.

I had started a project of transferring all of our homemade VHS videos of the kids as they were growing up to DVD a month ago and got side tracked, so today I'm going to make an effort to start working on them again. I'll probably will be doing this all day today and in between that doing laundry and making dinner later tonight for me and the mrs...
.

That is what I need to get busy on! I have several VHS that need to be transferred.

Sadly, it CAN kill friendships ... It's one hard way to find out who your true friends are. Several of my (now former) friends stopped calling, returning calls, and answering letters during my two bouts with the beast. The same thing happened to my mom years before when she was fighting it. It was before the Internet and personal computers were in wide use, so it was a lonely and painful experience. It's a great blessing to have a husband and friends now who wouldn't withdraw if there's ever a recurrence. I got through those times only through the grace of God.

I apologize for the "outburst," but just had to come out with it. I'm just so grateful that you are not the type to quietly disappear when support is needed. Yes, it's awkward and painful to be around someone with cancer and not know what to say or how to help. But at least you can BE there. Just that much is powerful medicine.

That is sad when friends turn on you when you need them most. I am glad we all have each other here!

You will do wonderful, Christmasstar - have fun with your training!!

Agree!

Good Evening, Christmas family


It has been a very chilly and gray day here but a good day, kind of. I have yet another "GI" thing going on. It seems I always have this type of thing happening. I am sure I will feel better eventually.

I hope you feel better today.

We had LC's birthday party today, it went very well, he got some great gifts and loves each and everyone of them so far.

I am glad you all had fun!

Good morning everyone.
I'm having my coffee, waiting for the girls to get ready for school. It's in the 20's outside right now, we have a rain/snow mix heading our way for later tonight. I have an appointment this morning with my neurologist, its basically just an an appointment to have my prescription renewed, I have to go every six months. Caninemom3, I will ask about the fioricet. I have been taking imitrex as needed but the insurance company will only give me 4 pills per month. Its ridiculous. If I get out of there early I will run a couple of errands. Then back home for daily chores.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Good Luck at the doctors!!!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a rainy dreary day here in central Indy. At least it's not 10 inches of snow like they were talking about last week. It looks like we should warm up into the upper 40's today before a cold front comes trough and the temps plumment down into the teens. I don't have much going on today. I have to help my neighbor move more things around in his apartment so he can patch the walls and finish cutting in before I go over and help him roll tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

We are expecting up to 6 inches of snow again today, mixed with sleet. I love the snow, but am looking forward to Spring.

You said you missed the snow so mother nature is making sure that you see plenty of it now that you are back home!!!!!

Stay Safe!!!!!

Goooooood morning!

I have been awake since for quite awhile. We had a storm come through and it woke us up. It was so bad, our dogs were hiding and taking cover. Nothing severe, but it was the most spectacular lightning show I have ever witnessed. When it started, I promise you it didn't stop for an hour and we heard the sound of thunder at least 150 times. It was so bad at one point, Wifey said "Why don't you get up and look to see what's happening? It sounds like War of the Worlds outside!" So, I did....and I watched in amazement.....

Anyways....Spring Break=bike riding. I'm going to hit the road....see y'all later.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Oh, WOW! That is a good wipe-out!

Not sure how "good" it was. Wayne and I both felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded the rest of the day. I don't think we ate a big enough breakfast for the bike ride. We are not sore in the least, just didn't feel well but will prepare better for our next adventure.

Your children sound wonderful. My girls are still young, they're all teenagers. I pray that someday they will understand and appreciate the things that I do!

They will! =)

Oh! And while I'm thinking about it -- wasn't that green tea delicious at the 'Pines yesterday?
(And -- um -- were those green slippers Carl was wearing??)

The green coffee was good too!

Good morning, Christmas family

I have just a few seconds but I would like to ask that you lift Wishbone up in prayer. He would not eat his breakfast for me. It may be nothing but he has been drinking more and I suspect a change is happening with his kidneys that is not good, so if you could just say a quick prayer, I would be so grateful xoxo

I will be praying!!! Keep us posted.

I think it's all those snowballs being thrown on here are piling up and falling on your town! =)

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

My sinus infection is gone and my face is back to normal, thankfully!!!

Slow down on the goodies? I guess that means that you don't want to come over for cheesecake tomorrow? Well that's if my neighbor leaves me alone long enough to make it. I think he plans on having me help him paint his apartment tomorrow.

I am glad the sinus infection is gone!

Since I have to wash the dishes can you make me a dairy/gluten free cheesecake?

well, I am off to bed, tomorrow starts the first of my training sesions.
Sleep well everyone!!

Good luck to you! I know you will do well!

 

[Christmasstar]

storm a coming again...supposed to be mix of rain, ice rain and snow. Arriving this afternoon sometime.

Training starts in one hour, I have mix of nerves and excitement going here. This session runs for 4 hours, so I guess it will be most intro stuff. After this we will be going to the new store for training.

Al is here fixing some stuff around my unit. (hole in ceiling, cupboard door and caulking around tub)

Hope you all have a great day!!

CanineMom3, I saw Clancy's picture on Facebook. That's a great looking dog! What kind?
Last night I was laying on my daughter's floor while the kids were falling asleep and Happy came in and "attacked" me. Then, he snuggled up next to me. He's funny. I'm sure glad God gave us dogs!
Anyway, thanks for posting the pic of Clancy.

I always tell her she is one cat away from being the crazy cat lady!!!

I did not put my cat, Charlie, on this game box! We got this game as a joke because of all the strays hanging around my house that we feed. The grandkids were playing it last week, left the game on the floor and my cat crawled up on it and ended up napping on it all day long. We left the box there because between eating and playing he kept jumping back on it and napped on it the next day as well. It just happen to be his spot to sleep for a couple of days. Ha ha! Now he is back to sleeping in the cat tree.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm back at work, trying to catch up on two days-worth of emails. I can't believe I process this much email every day. Don't they know I'm trying to read MMC?!?

I have some work to catch up on with my part-time business this afternoon, my cell has already been ringing.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Sure!!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I think you all will enjoy this but my co-worker wore to work, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, t-shirt for his St. Paddy's Day color. I told him I am proud that he is wearing some Christmas to celebrate St. Paddy's Day. He started laughing, he knows how much I love Christmas. The funny thing is, Christmas is not a big deal to him at all so it was nice seeing that shirt yesterday, it gave me a big smile!

 

[caninemom3]

I think so. I'll double check in the morning.

Okay. I admit it. I am so stupid about how to use Pinterst. MerryMistletoe tried to help with using it, but I just cannot get it ! I don't get how you pin things and such - I would love to join in. I just don't quite understand what you do ! :-(

 

[caninemom3]

Good Morning, Frosty !!! Hope you are having a wonderful, Christmassy day !! xo

Merry Morning everybody, I managed to skim through some of the posts on here quickly, sorry I can't reply individually as I'm a bit pressed for time. You are all in my thoughts.

Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, frostythesnowman! Things are going well with me, thank you for asking. How are things with you?

 

[Meceka]

Glad to hear yours is going well! Mine is going well, too, thanks! I've just been playing with the kids, watching tv, and pinning on Pinterest. I love that!

I'm glad you had a good day yesterday! I miss Pinterest - not time of late to do much browsing other than for here or for work-related research. Enjoy your day today, Sugar, and stay safe!!!
