I just want to say, no matter what you think of me-- like me, can't stand me, think I'm an idiot --whatever. I want you guys to know that I am very protective of this community and all of you here.

And that's not saying we don't get on each other's very last nerve sometimes, we're like brothers and sisters that way. But we all usually can find some common ground and appreciation for each other in one thread or another on this board. And things are cyclic. Round and round we go and each lap is different.

I just wanted you all to know that.
I think I’m going to make up a T-Shirt that says “Cryptic’R’Us” (and only goes down to my belly button) and walk through a hardware store to see the kind of reaction I’ll get. :)

Your head is just full of very important things :) You'll get a handle on the tardiness, now that you're reminded about it. I'm glad it went well ((hugs))
Oh it is working - thanks skimom2 - I hope when the two weeks are up I can go back to 7 to 3.

On Wednesday I was in by 0648 which gave me lots of time for other things before I actually logged on to the system that we use to listen to the doctor's dictations.

I can finally tell you all that I'm going to be a grandmother for the first time! My daughter wanted to wait until the miscarriage risk was over and things are looking good even though she's only 8 weeks along. She had her first ultrasound and heard the baby's heartbeat yesterday. She texted me a pic which made me a little verklempt. My first grand baby pic. :smile: Due date is November 30.

Congrats!!!!
Thanks! I spent all last weekend and will be spending part of this one making maternity clothes. And now I can ask my cousin for advice about making diapers. If I'd asked before she would have known right away why I was asking. Have nearly slipped a few times with her and my mother as I've known since March. It's a big relief that the news is out now as I would have felt terrible if I'd let them know before my daughter was ready.

I'm very happy for you, Ms Mod! How exciting! :smile2::love_heart::love_heart:

Oh how wonderful, Marsha!! Being a grandma is awesome! Hope the pregnancy is easy on your daughter, and many prayers for a happy, healthy baby!

Thank you! I've been surprised at how excited I've been. Hopefully I don't drive my daughter crazy with making things for her and the baby. She has had a little nausea but nothing too bad. And thank you for the prayers for a happy, healthy baby--that's definitely #1 on the wish list.

I'm so happy for you and your family! What a blessing. What a blessing it is to have a mother/grandmother who sews and has good taste.
When I was a 5th grade Tom Boy, my sister made me a prairie dress. I hated it but I wore it out of love,(and because my sister made me wear it) and got into a school yard fist fight for it. Unfortunately the dress survived.

;-D What a good sister you are! I'm hoping my daughter will be happy with the clothes I'm making. I know she'll be a lot like you and wear them anyway and will be grateful for the effort. I've been trying to tell her about the cutest jacket pattern I found and have made--well, have one more decorative stitch to add but otherwise it's done. Her enthusiasm even after sending her a pic of the pattern seemed a bit lukewarm but it really is cute in person so hopefully she'll think better of it once she sees it. Here's a pic--wish they'd had something like this when I was pregnant!
