Moving day!!!!I don't have a lot of energy left. Anyone need a queen size bed? It will probably end up in the living room. We went to singles last night-we asked the director to play the piano for the wedding but she may be booked. Meme-can you travel? Haha. Bye for now. Mima

Beautiful family Meme. And Happy your grandaughter is a doll too. I just had to take my son to the mall to be measured for a tux. I keep trying to talk him out of this and wait til next year when he is a Senior. Way too much money to spend.
I wanted to find some bargains but the things on sale are just not for me. Those tight patterned capri pants....even though they come in my size I would not leave the house in them.
Wear are just summer pants?
I am taking the dog to K-mart....maybe I can find wallpaper boarder and real pants there!!
I am still doing 5-HTP and it seems to help with migraines. I had one brewing bad this morning (wonder if they are pollen related) and I took 200mgs and the headache died. I had a fibro flare for two weeks but that is ending too. Knock on wood.
Hows the wedding plans, Mima?
Joanne.....I am the only one who changes my kids beds. I go so far as to leave the clean sheets on their pillows, but they will sleep without sheets!!!
Candice......trying not to talk to much, but I can get away with it cause I haven't "talked" in a week

Ally..Tell me about it.. My son would sleep on the bare mattress when he was home.. His room was a hazard spot. Now he has his own house.. He keeps it clean and picked up much of the time. He just doesn't change his sheets every week. So I get them and usually make up his bed if he dosen't.. He is awful busy. I just try to help him out.. I still wish he would find a wife so I can retire. He had a wife 18 years ago... She was a piece of work!!I think it has scared him..Although he still loves the women.
Meme.. You have a good looking family...I wish I had a scanner so I could send some pictures . I would have to learn how to use it.. There is so much I don't know about computers.
Hey Mima. Just relax..You will find someone to play your music..Otherwise you could pipe some in..
Hello Happy, Candice....Bye...Joanne

Mima...just buy tapes! A lot of people are using those for weddings now-days. If you have anyone with half a brain to put the tape in and start it at the right time you're in business!!!

Joanne...if you have pictures you want put on here...here's what you do...doesn't cost but a few cents! Take the photos to Wal Mart and ask them to make copies. Make sure you ask if they put copies on the internet...I know they do film they develop but I'm not sure about copies!!! They will give you one of those little envelopes to fill out. Keep the top flap which has a number on it. In a few days, log on to www.walmart.com and click on the photo tab at the top. From there you'll have to click to become a member or join...or something...and fill out an electronic form. Once you have done that, you can just log in with your password each time you go to the site. You can type in the number off your little receipt from any pictures you take to wal mart and see them before you get them. They stay on the internet for 30 days and there is a place for you to "share" them with friends! You can type in my email address ( [email protected] ) and send me the ones you want put on here and I'll crop them, save them and post them here! It is neat to be able to see you pictures, plus if you want to order more later you can...as many of each one as you want and even different sizes. Most people don't know that wal mart offers this service! I just found out when I got my digital camara for Christmas...now I use it all the time. I take my pictures, download them to my computer, go to the wal mart site and upload them there and tell them how many of each I want printed. They then print the pictures and mail them to me. It doesn't cost any more than taking a roll of film to the store...actually less because you don't have to buy the film and you only get the pictures that you want.

OK...end of tutorial!

We have had a terrible ladybug problem too! Now it is spider time, I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got another flowerbed ready for planting but the weather is not good enough to put anything in yet, had a hail storm tonight!

Got to the doc Thursday and my biopsie was negative, always a relief but I have to try the new Nexium pills for my esohpagus the prtonix was causing bloating. I just hate any kind of meds, nothing seems to be without side effects!

Sounds like you all are keeping busy.....I'm still op but got into the m&m almonds!

Dh got oil all over his good clothes (and coat) and I have been washing them over and over again..I think I finnally got it out!

I got some new Birkenstocks, really ugly shoes ( a black tie) and I think something is wrong with the footbed in the right shoe cause it feels like something is in the shoe..like a high spot..so I need to take them back I guess( they are so expensive if I'm not gonna wear them). They don't have anything else I can wear right now..spen 2 hours there deciding on these!


Meme..great picture.but how did your daughter get two blonde children????????? The spiderman pages were cute too!

Happy.......do you just pick a tag and take it into paint shop pro???
Cute picture too!

Happy or Meme..how do you get the writing black????????

Figured it out I think!

Someday I have to pay attention to all Meme's tutorials. I have a CD of the pictures my brother took and that is like so wierd to me. Just like when you turn on the TV for a second and wonder how the heck it works, but then decide that might take too much brain power to figure it out so you just accept it.
One of my kids works at Burger King so he just begged me to run to the store and get gel insoles for his ugly cheap black shoes. They cost $13. Should have just bought more expensive shoes.
Candice.....the one good thing about Berkinstocks is that they will take them back or fix them. They should...they cost a fortune!!! Years ago they were yuppie or hippie footwear. Now my kids call them old lady shoes!!!

Ally do you wear Birkenstocks?????????? That is the only shoe I can wear most days and that is as dressy as it gets! I cannot wear dress shoes at all. I have my New Balance cross training shoes and some SAS Freetime walking shoes (that I wear my orthotics in from the foot doc) but I like the Birks best. I'm sitting here now with the new Birks on trying to decide if I need to take them back. I have so much foot pain that I have to be very selective with my choices and just trying them on in the store is not enough time to tell. I know you cannot wear them outside and return them but he said I could wear them around the house but it takes time to break them in! They are called Princeton and black leather and very ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They fit my narrow foot well except for the left big toe barely touching the tip and the right footbed feeling like it is too high in one spot. I keep thinking they will break in and I will not notice these things. I just don't want to cause more foot pain by wearing the wrong shoes! They were 150.00 on sale for 120.00............I have two pair of Birk clogs (navy and green suede) that are too big right now due to my weight loss so need to take those in and see if they can do anything and I have a white sandel with a wrap around strap and a black slip on sandel and my favorite a tan suede Arizona sandel. ( I wear these all the time and they still look good) over ten years old! Dh thinks these are ulgly and I should get one with a strap but they didn't have that in my size and the guy told me they would not fit my narrow foot anyway. Ya think he was just trying to sell me this pair?????????????????

I know too much yacking.......I'm trying to reason this out!

Meme tell me all about that digital camera ya got...pixels, name brand, price and anything I need to know...I don't know what I am looking for! Where did you get it also????????

We picked out favorite hymns on cd's and will have someone make one or I'll make a tape. the move went super and we did nothing yesterday except go to church. At Mass, the priest said he was concerned that the people in the back were not getting enough holy water when we renewed the baptismal vows so he took out this super squirter water gun and sprayed. He said we needed a laugh with all that's going on in the Catholic church. beautiful pictures Meme. Gonna send you apicture of my dress to post . We're doing great-I get nervous once in a while but Brad is so cool and so excited. Someone called him 6 times between 10 and 2:30 last night bevause their water pipe broke so he's gone down to look at it. Clark makes comfortable shoes too. Gotta go get my grandaughter her birthday present today and mail it. Bye for now Mima

Mima...good move on getting a CD...what is it you are going to have somebody record? You can buy cassettes of the Bridal Chorus (Here Comes The Bride) and the Wedding March (The Recessional) at most Christian Book Stores...they are only about $8 each. It's getting closer!!!

Ally...you are so funny...I guess a lot of techincal things are better taken for granted and not understood but I've always had a curious nature! Have to figure out how and why everything works. (Probably why I stay stressed out all the time...brain isn't smart enough to figure it all out!!!)

Candice...take the shoes back...if you paid $120 for them and you are not going to be able to wear them all the time without total comfort...take them back! Just tell them there is a lump in the bottom and try another pair of the same kind/size. I hate taking stuff back but it's better than being stuck with something you don't like or can't use. Hubby got me the camara for Christmas. He got it at Wal Mart...I don't know how much it cost but probably not much over $200...that's about what we spend on each other. He got me some other stuff, too, though...some accessories...carrying case, battery charger, memory card, etc. and and a weekend trip...but I'd still guess about $200. It is a Kodak DX3500. We had to get a memory card for it because pictures taken on "good" were blurry...have to take them on "best" and you can only get about 10 or 12 "best" on the internal memory. You can get 25 on good...with a memory card, you can get 25 on best and 50 on good...the card was about $30...it just slides in the side of the camara. It's really easy to use, just plug a cord into your computer and leave it there. When you are ready to download your pictures just plug the end into the camara and it automatically downloads the pictures. You can crop them, lighten or darken, take out red eye and even do neat things like making coloring sheets, etc. right on your computer. When you get the pictures centered and looking like you want them you just save them on your computer and go upload them at wal mart and have them printed and mailed to you. They only charged me $1.38 for shipping and handling and NO tax...and it's only about 28 cents a photo for 4X6 (I think that's what it was...)

Okay..Ally...once again...end of tutorial!!!

I hope that day finds you all well and in not to much pain. It is really raining here, but tht is ok, because we really need the moisture. It has been so dry the past few years, as we have NOT had any spring rain. This should make the farmers happy anyway. It doesn't like me much, and I find I am a lot stiffer than normal. The arthritis is flaring up a bit in the lower back. Fm seems to not mind the day - so far Gee, all my companions are so finicky!

Candice: I have a Kodak DC3200 (same as Meme's - her's is just a later model). It works well and I love it. TAKE THE SHOES BACK!! I have so often bought shoes and then got them home and they hurt like he**. Didn't hurt in the store! Sometimes I take them back, and sometimes I just end up giving them to my daughter. She gets lucky because shoes are so expensive. I also like Clarkes. Talk about your shoes that you had for 10 years. That is me and Clarkes sandals. They just don't wearout. I like them, because they have the straps and I have to tighten them to the last notch. I also have a narrow foot, and it seems almost impossible to get that in this city. Only the B width and wider and I need a AA with a AAAA heel. Your signatures look good. If you want an animated one, go over to Delphi and they will make you one. I have a few from them. They do really good work.

Meme - Hello. You sound much more chipper today. Hope it is because you are finally feeling better.

Mima - Gosh only a few more days to go. I know that you will feel so much better when this is done. It is just the added stress you have that makes you have little flares. Ain't love grand

Ally - You always make me laugh. You are like a breath of fresh air. Meme does give us good tutorials alright. If I didn't make my sons bed for him, when he was home, he also just slept on the mattress. What is with that male species? Now, I don't look at his bed, and I just hope he uses a sheet. He probably does, but I would not venture to say how clean it was

Joanne - Good morning. What have you been up to? It is this weekend that you have the Greek Easter? I guess you will be busy preparing for that. Is it nice and warm down there?

Well, I better quit before Candice says I am writing a novel:lol

I'll try this again.. I hate to lose what I am writing. I looked back to see something and lost it AAAAAAHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks Meme..Now all I need is a digital camera..
I wish I knew all the things you do about computers.. I will have to get my sister over here sometime to show me somethings .
Candice- Take the shoes back.. If a shoe doesn't satisfy me in the store . I walk out. I have had Clarks.. They are good. I have never tried Birkenstock. I guess the price and they are ugly. Another thing. It is sandy in Florida and I don't like to get sand in my shoes. I don't mind walking barefoot in the sand though. I have lived in Fl. all my life too.
Happy.Yes Greek Easter is this weekend. I will be cooking and have my sister,her husband and daughter,g/child and my son over.
Hello Mima- Tapes are a good idea. Meme has a good idea. Go to a bridal shop and they should have them or tell you where to get them.
Hey Ally..
Bye Joanne

Joanne I just did the same thing and lost it! Arghhhhhhhh!!!!! I can't wear Clarks just the Birks cause I need the support the cork bed offers.

Still undecided.........It feels like something is under the the pinky still but otherwise they are getting more comfy which is what they are supposed to do! If they could fix that it would be great but I guess I will have to call them and they do not have another pair and won't untill the fall shipment. Keep thinking it will just go away (the lump) like your sock seam is under your toe!

Meme..and Happy..is that camera easy enough for me and Ally to use!

Mima..I would not like having water sprayed on me in church!

Happy went to Delphi..do you just post a message that you want one? They say they will not make more than a few at one time and you can only post them once on here now!
