But one clarification about facebook, MMC is way more entertaining to me than facebook! Facebook is just useful tool to get the info I need all on one page but MMC is my fun get away from it all website. Instead of searching around different sites for each business it will all pop up at once on facebook.

If I had a choice to keep one.... it would be MMC! :D
 
FIRST SIGN OF CHRISTMAS FOR ME!!!! Just got a fall fest flyer in the mail with a note at the bottom about the church's live nativity date!!!!! Wooooo!!

So exciting!!!

first sign of Christmas reminds me,
the other day at work I had a man go through my till that if he was in a red suit would have looked exactly like every picture I have seen of Santa Claus! I asked if he ever played the part, and sadly he said no. But the cool thing is that his name is "Claus"! His grandchildren call him Santa.

HA! How cool is that?? :smile:

Good afternoon,

We went and visited my grandparents this morning, they are doing okay. My grandmother has decided to forego the chemo treatments, it just made her feel awful. She gave me a number of her Santas, (I gave her a Santa for Christmas every year from the mid-90's until 2008) they are all so beautiful. I just don't know where I will put them. It was nice to visit my grandparents, but for the first time in my life my grandmother looked weak, it was a real shock to see her like that.

Just resting now, taking a little time to wind down, and then pizza!!! Woohoo!

I am feeling a lot better today, just a nagging headache.

I will be back throughout the evening. ttyl

Keeping you & your Grandparents in my prayers.
 
We had torrential downpours all evening and in to this morning. The rain is finally letting up however we have terrible flooding on the south shore of the island. My husband took a ride to his shop to assess the damage and there are several machines under water. What a mess. There are roads closed, cars stranded, boats overturned. Hopefully it will begin to recede now that the rain has stopped. I don't plan on going anywhere, I had an appointment for a routine eye exam but the office is closed because of the weather. I'll just be working on some chores around the house and I have a few phone calls to make. I hope everyone is well and has a good day!
 
Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been a typical week so far...busy, busy, busy. Nancy & Jacob were at Jacob's band practice late, so Elizabeth and I went out to Subway for a turkey sub for supper. Pretty good!

Today, I have to get on the lawn mower (since it's not Sunday, CAH!).

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy


Hope you have a wonderful day, Brad!!
 
I'm not on Facebook myself; most of my relatives are older and not computer-literate, so it's not a viable means of staying in touch.

From what I hear and read, Facebook seems to be some people's reality instead of a tool for communication; what happens there seems to them to be more important than what happens in real life. It's great what it can do for extended families whose members are scattered, or for those who grew up digital and can't imagine a world without Facebook, but so far it's not for me.

Mr. isn't on Facebook, either, and a strange thing happened. Someone looking for him on Facebook found that there are several people with the same name, and asked a friend of ours who IS on Facebook which one was Mr. Our friend told him that Mr. isn't on Facebook. The guy got furious with our friend: "What do you MEAN he isn't on Facebook? Why not? I DEMAND to know why he isn't on Facebook!" and went on and on attacking our FRIEND because Mr. isn't on Facebook! I hope most people on Facebook aren't that batty. But it's one more reason I shy away from it. It's probably harmless and even fun, but I've chosen to leave that particular Pandora's box closed. It's tempting at times, and I've been as close as one click away from joining, but it's too scary for me.

The biggest temptation would be to be in closer touch with all of you. But I could do that here and through email ...

Oh my goodness! Someone has a facebook addiction it seems, to demand why Mr. is not on facebook??? That is ridiculous and if you choose not to have facebook that is you and Mr. business. It's really not the end of the world not to have a facebook page. :lol:

I've visited the MMC FB page in the past, but it doesn't seem to have much going on. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

Another FB disadvantage for me is that work blocks access, and it's too small to see on my phone. I never have time (or inclination LOL) to check it at home. Guess I'm turning into one of those old fuddy-duddies I used to giggle at. cheesy
 
Thanks Snowflake. I don't know what I'm going to do about the job. I'm interested, I would be working with three year olds on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and two year olds on Tuesday and Thursdays. I just love being with the little ones, they're so darn cute. It's nice because they follow the school district schedule, so I would be off for all of the holidays, Winter & Spring recess and of course summer break. The hours on Tuesday and Thursday will be 8:00 to 12:00 which is nice. But Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be 8:00 to 3:00. That's a little long for me. I'm worried about falling behind on my errands and chores, I get overwhelmed easily. And most importantly, I'm worried about the dogs. They're use to me being here all day. I could run home at lunch but it's only a half hour break so I'd only have a few minutes with them. It's frustrating because I do want to do something and of all the opportunities I've had so far, this is the most definitely the most appealing one. I'll keep you posted.


Sounds nice! Little ones are so sweet.
Good luck with your decision [emoji171]

Sorry to hear about the flooding. Prayers for safety, and for your community.
 
I have been thinking of joining Facebook the last few days, after seeing a lot of my cousins at the family reunion and what has been going on with my grandmother I think it may be time to "jump" in to the FB circus. I know all my cousins are on there, and that is the preferred way they all seem to communicate. We always seem to be the odd ones out on the news in the family. I have also heard it also helps when looking for a new job, which really couldn't hurt.

I am thinking aloud, because I really know nothing about facebook, and my Google+ account is as dormant as the day I signed up for it.

Should I go for it?

Sure!! I think FB is ok - don't love it but it's nice for keeping up on things/pictures/nieces/nephews. Some times I'm on it daily & other times I won't be on for a couple weeks. It's totally up to you how often you check it & what you post on there! Good luck!

Good evening, friends!!

That looks sooooooooooooooo cozy!

if many in your family have smart phones consider getting "WhatsApp"
A good part of our family has this now.
Those living in Vermont, Holland, BC, all over Ontario, a trucker traveling all over North america share it.
We love how easy it is to keep connected.
The nice part is only those who you allow on can talk and see what you are talking about or the pictures you share.

I have never heard of that app. Downloading it now. Thanks!

These storms will have the potential to give local rainfall amounts of 50 mm in an hour, as well as damaging wind gusts and large hail.

Hope you stayed safe!

Good evening and Happy Tuesday! How are you all doing? I am well. Life just continues to be very busy. Worked more overtime again today. Between work and the kids right now, I'm being kept very busy!

What has everyone been up to? Made has been keeping me updated on the posts, which I thank him for. I would love to be here everyday posting, but right now, it's just not possible. Know that I am thinking of all of you and you're all in my thoughts and prayers. I know some of you need extra prayers and you know who you are.

I hope you all have a great evening! I am going to look around the site a little more, then I'll be heading out and heading to bed. Gotta work again tonight. God Bless you all!

Nice to see you. I hope life slows down a little so you can come back to visit more often! Have a good day!

Good evening, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone doing well! Didn't even come close to catching up on here, but I tried.

While on the way into town this past weekend I noticed that the trees are already changing color; today it has been cool enough I actually used the oven and made mint chocolate muffins. I never use the oven in August because it heats the house up way too much. So loving this cooler summer! However, the news is that there is another Polar Vortex on the way in September. I don't think there will be snow where I live, but I still need to get some winterizing done and soon!

Looked at a potential place to put the store. Nice place, but there isn't as much traffic as my current location. The rates are good and all, but all new display pieces would be needed and not sure if the budget could handle such a risk right now. At the farm market I frequent every year a quart of tomatoes was five dollars. I could not believe it! In this area, prices are going up all the time. If the spot is available next year and things turn around a bit, I just might take a risk.

Not much else is going on, just busy with work and some family matters, good and bad. Makes for long days and not much time to get caught up on things.

I finished most of the chores I wanted to do, but there is still some organizing and paperwork to get done yet tonight so I will bid all of you a MERRY night!



Hi Meceka!! Good luck on your decision re: the store! The weather has been crazy. Here is a link to the Polar Vortex I saw on Facebook:

I don't like messing with facebook on my phone. I only did one time the other day to message Made regarding our visit to the Fast N Loud garage here in Dallas (when we went the other day as I posted here on MMC). I think I might have popped in another time a year ago. Made told us to get a picture there so I sent one to him from the garage while we were there. It was irritating to use the phone so I sent it with a message and logged out shortly after. I couldn't see what I was doing on such a small screen. I rather mess with it at home on my laptop. I guess I'm an old fuddy-duddy too!!!! :lol:

MMC just do updates here and there on FB.
 
Hello everyone!

Sorry for not popping in yesterday. My trip home was long and very tiring so I was sleeping pretty much all day yesterday. Anyway, I am back on track today although time difference of two hours still feels weird. (Yeah, two hours are not many in general but I still need usually a day to adapt myself.)

I hope everyone is doing well. My plans of going to business seminar this weekend got cancelled so I now trying to fill the gap in with some activities. ^^

I will definitely see you all in the evening. Best wishes!

Glad you made it home safely!!!! Enjoy your visit!!!!!

Good Morning, friends!!

Wishing you a blessed Day~

Happy Pines Day!!

Good Morning, Buddy!!!! Hope you are having a good morning!!!!!

xx


Good Morning!

Cake in oven, getting a few other things done and then heading over to Port Huron for the day. Hoping to leave by 9am

Hope you all have a great day

You baked me a cake?? That was so sweet of you!!!! LOL!!!!!

Have a great time, Star!!!!

Plenty of additional rain fell yesterday -- LOTS of it.
Flood warnings were out and there was some street flooding we had to drive through. But at last, we should have a dry day today!
We have begun mid-week at 69 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks.
And a Vivacious Visit to the 'Pines this evening for mid-August hijinx, Carl style!

Have a great day, Crown!!!!!

Wow ... Summer appeared. Humid .... Need coffee..... Yabba!!

Stay cool, Friend!!!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been a typical week so far...busy, busy, busy. Nancy & Jacob were at Jacob's band practice late, so Elizabeth and I went out to Subway for a turkey sub for supper. Pretty good!

Today, I have to get on the lawn mower (since it's not Sunday, CAH!).

I hope y'all have a great day!

Have fun mowing tonight!!!!!

Happy Wednesday to you!

Rain, rain, rain today!

Yesterday at work was as intense as Monday. We'll see what today brings! I have to leave early for an appointment, so I shouldn't be staying late.

Hope today isn't as busy!!!
 
Good evening all Christmas friends!
I pulled out my Christmas cards the other day that I bought at the close of last season.
I printed out some matching return addresses and am updating my list on the computer.
I thought of all of you as I did these things as only my MMC friend probably get how giddy something like looking at Christmas cards in August can make someone! LOL!
Have a wonderful evening!

How exciting. You're so organized! Good for you! :smile: Have a great day!

Good evening!
Well I had a busy day, I'm finally getting a few minutes to catch up here but I just can not keep my eyes open anymore so I'm going to turn in soon. I read through the posts and I want you all to know that I will keep you & your families in my prayers.
The kitchen counter tops are finally in. Everything went well and they look great. It took six men to lift the piece of stone for the island, I was a nervous wreck when they were carrying it in to the house. I'm glad that's over with. My husband is installing the new sinks right now. The kitchen is still not finished but at least we're one step closer to it being done.
I also had another job offer today. I ran in to the woman who owns the pre-school that my girls attended while I was in the supermarket. I've known her a very long time. We spent a few minutes catching up and talking about our kids. When she heard my youngest was leaving soon for college she told me she had an opening as a teachers assistant and that I should take it. So here we go again, I've got a lot to think about. Maybe it would work out this time. I don't know. We'll see, I need a day to think.
I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight & sweet dreams!

How awesome the countertops are in! One step closer to being done. AND a kitchen sink too! Woo Hoo! Good lock with the job decision! Have a great day HMG!

Yes, some posts are downright crazy. You get the people who announce they are out of town, (hello, come and rob me...I like being a victim!).
Then there are those who post pictures of themselves in obvious states of very poor judgement, (uh, if your mom would be ashamed of that pic, maybe DON'T put that on your FB page, chucklehead!).
LOL....oh people people, why?
Anyway, yes, the rain was a little intense here today for a bit, but then there was a distinct hint of fall in the air this afternoon that was refreshing and made me think about the beauty of the change of seasons here.

Our friends always say they are so glad we didn't have FB when we were in high school! :lol:

Scary. Praying for all of those who got flooded. Hope the machines at Mr's shop aren't ruined.

Stay safe today!!!

LOL!!!!! My big problem with using it on my phone is that my fingers are just to fat for that tiny little keyboard.

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to warm back up here today with a high in the low 80's. I prefer the 70 degree high that we had yesterday. Nothing to exciting here today. Just the same old same old. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!! See ya at the Pines tonight!!!!!!

Merry, your not alone. I'm do not get on Facebook either; nor do I have any intentions of doing so any time in the future. I'm here on MMC, and that's about all of the social websites/ people and friends that I want to be on and trust. Facebook and other social sites have a lot of problems in the past with security/ government intrusions with your private information...

Refer to an example here, from a NY Times article, that will support this statement:
