(But have fun anyway/anywhere and stay safe Hoss!)
Before I head out for the day I want to say something because I'm feeling sentimental. Maybe it's due to this week, maybe it's due to "woman" things(TMI?), maybe it's a combination. I suppose it doesn't matter because I mean every word.
I really enjoy these boards and am so happy to have found this site. I understand what it's like to see new people come in when there are people that have here forever. I was on a forum for a long time and started from the beginning and could sometimes be wary of new folks. Most of them turned out great, some turned out not so great. I think it's a territorial feeling. Those forums shut down a couple of years ago due to nobody watching them and there were some real trolls and people who just wanted to start fights. Unlike here, there weren't any moderators so things finally got way out of hand and the head honcho shut it down. I made some wonderful friends on there and have since met up with most of them at various horror conventions and we chat on FB. My point being that everyone on here has been so nice and seeing how you treat each other gives me the warm fuzzies. I don't post a lot because I don't want to be one of THOSE new people(going on 9 months now!)and don't want the long timers to think I'm trying to "take over" or anything similar so I try and keep a fairly low profile. But not too low because I hope to eventually become a member of the family. I know not every member will see this post, only the ones who check this thread on a regular basis but to those who do see it I hope it makes sense. I tend to ramble. lol.
Thanks for the past 9 months. It's been great.
(another long winded one!)
Have a great weekend everyone!
I think I know what you mean and I've been on this MB much less time than you. I tend to sit back and think twice (usually;at least I try to) before I post
something but admittedly there has been a time or two I know I've overstepped the Newbie bounds. It amazes me, daily, at what a great group of people
are on this board and it is so easy to chat with them and laugh with them. I truly didn't think a forum such as this existed. Pretty lucky to have found it
and thank my stars each day. The sincerity, the kindness and the knowledge on this MB is amazing. Thank you to each and every one of you.
misery chastain loves co.,what a beautiful post you wrote. It's always nice to have new people here who actually post. So many sign up, and we never see them again. Everyone here is important, and you can talk about whatever you want, and no one 'talks' mean to you. So keep posting as much as you want, we all love it!
Alexandra,same goes for you! Don't be afraid or hold back on posting anything you want to. It's what keeps the board going!

I don't usually post stuff like this but since it's all working out then I will. It's been a bit of a stressy week so I haven't been on here.(not that anyone missed me) My Dad ends up in the hospital this past Sunday and I find out from my stepmother Monday night. I have Mondays off so I had all day to visit him but no. I get along with her well so I didn't make an issue of it. What's the point in a fight? Anyway he had heart issues and they were talking possible surgery but nope, they did a dye cath test and only had to put one stent in and he went home yesterday so yay. Then I have a little dog who is my world(turned 17 today!
) and he's been coughing badly the past few days. Has had a couging issue for a couple of years(collapsing trachea, common in small dogs)and is on medicine which has worked great until now. I called the vet and she said maybe he's starting to get congestive heart failure. I made an appt. for Monday, rethought that and changed it to Friday(that's what sick time is for and I never take it!)and ended up taking him yesterday. She took a chest film and said his heart is a little enlarged but not into heart failure territory yet. Going to start him on heart meds just to be safe. I asked her if I'm just prolonging the inevitable and she said "he's happy, I can tell, he's healthy otherwise and if he still eats fine, goes to the bathroom fine and plays then he's not ready yet" Whew. I'm not in denial, he is 17, but I'll take even a few more months with him.
Anyway, long winded but thought I would share because I feel like I can here
Have a great weekend everyone!!

I think you already are a part of this family... we are a large group and our variety is what makes it all work I think. It's nice to be chatty and it's also nice to sometimes just sit back and read... there is no recipe to follow, just do what feels right.
Happy weekend to you too... xox
I second what Flake said, you are a part of the family!
I am glad things are looking up for your family members, furry one too!
Misery who?
- kidding - yes, I agree - don't worry about sharing with others. It's good to read other people's thoughts - sentimental, sad, happy, whatever. As my son likes to say "It's all good!"
You are a member of our family!!! Never doubt that!! And as for taking over..... Write what you like and how much you like. You are one of us. We want to hear it.Before I head out for the day I want to say something because I'm feeling sentimental. Maybe it's due to this week, maybe it's due to "woman" things(TMI?

This must come with maturity - this sitting back and thinking before blurting something out - something I wish I had had more of in the past
Good to have you here - have a great weekend!

How nice to come in and bask in the glow of the Ka-Tet - we are well met misery chastain loves co. and Alexandra M and Kurben and all y'all old timers. I don't really facebook, and I've never been an active member of an online community. The SKMB is my online home. I don't think there's any such thing as "new comer bounds". Post as oft as ye like. I tend to be of one extreme or the other - I post a lot or I don't post at all. And that is truly in keeping with my personality. Sometimes I worry you get sick hearing the same old: I've lost my mind, what's wrong with me, yada yada, that I've been singing for 6 months now. So I try to tone it down. Anyhow,
Lepplady That is a sucky situation you're in. I grew up in one of those towns, think: Big Jim Rennie and son. The laws were a joke. Get out if you can. Barking dogs drive me nuts. I don't let mine bark when they're outside - if they start barking at neighbors or other dogs I tell them to hush, and if they can't, they have to come in.
pegasus216 I hope you and Karen are on the mend soon and that insulin change fixes you right up.
Even though today is no-cook Friday, I felt like cooking. So I made a lovely store bought spinach salad from Costco - I did have to plate it - sheesh. And I made my famous beer chili. It's not exactly chili weather, but it's what I wanted.
I think I'm beginning to feel better (there, I had to mention it again). I switched up when I take my crazy meds and it has made all the difference in the world. I sleep better and I'm not tired in the evenings. Better for the entire family.
May is the month of Our Lady - I'm going to make a crown for my statue tomorrow, I just finished a novena: Mary, Undoer of Knots, and I'm sure that helped my spirit and sanity - I'm posititve it did. Our Lady is such a powerful source of help -just saying, in case any of you are in need. You don't have to be Catholic to have a devotion to Mary.
Tomorrow is our town's little annual Fair/Festival thingy, and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous. I think we're going to go. We'll spend way too much on nonsense, but we need a little sunshine and community and nonsense.
Whatcha got going on this weekend?
Blessings to you all.

Well, craps. Someone tell me to snap out of it!
Cleaning, boxing stuff for the move (kinda) Taking down pictures. Selling my kitchen table and chairs. Looking at them and crying over memories. Holding everything and deciding what to part with. My wedding China? My Crystal? I don't need it, but I want it. I just want this whole place to stay the same and get lifted somewhere to the place I have to go.
Too many memories. Enough! That was my weak moment. Back to packing. ****fire.

I won two tickets to the Winnipeg Wine Festival on Saturday - got them for answering a question on a radio phone in thingy.
Yay Neesy!!!! What was the question? I gave up trying - I never win anything!
If it's still important to you - keep it!!

After uncorking a bottle of wine, how long should you keep it in the fridge before discarding what is left?
Dispose of the cork immediately. With the right company, the bottle will not need to be resealed.

Good answer but actually the guy ahead of me said three days (wrong) and my guess was two days and it turned out to be right!(I had to give my information which took a few minutes so I was five minutes late for work, but it was worth it!)
I picked the tickets up at the radio station after work yesterday. They are for Saturday.
Who the heck am I going to take? Andy is up North

Today I found a very dumb "joke of the day" somewhere:
Harvey died. His will provided $40,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Sarah turned to her oldest and dearest friend. "Well, I'm sure Harvey would be pleased," she said.
"I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How much did this really cost?"
"All of it," said Sarah. "Forty-thousand."
"No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $40,000?"
Sarah answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to church. The beverages and food were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone."
Jody computed quickly. "$32,500 for a Memorial Stone? My word, how big is it?"
"Four and a half carats."

Based on your memories, what were you in your past life?
I got:
In your past life you were a
Pirate
What your memories show about you is that you are a born rebel. While you know all the rules very well and understand how to benefit from the fact that others are following them, you consider them to be rough guidelines at best when it come to your own actions. Others could not even fathom the existence of the worlds that you are discovering outside of the constraints of rules. In your past life this made you a successful pirate whose life was full of treasure and adventures.
