Board Business:
1. There is a thread around here somewhere about the A Idol. I realize that many like to watch that program and talk about it. Problem is: we don't get the show here so it would be impossible for me to even remember to pop up that thread or make a new thread for you to discuss and need I say since I don't watch it..... Perhaps you have the new idol already and this note is passee.... if not, and if there is still interest in an AI thread, would someone please take the inititive to start a thread and reply. Thanks That's the only item I have a problem with on this board right now... I will try to do my best to keep up.
2. My laptop keeps freezing when I'm on iVillage and only iVillage, it's very annoying . I don't really know what's going on. I had assumed it was the vista on my new laptop so I sent that back to Munich and kept this laptop here and now it's happening on this one too. I'm working diligently on this problem. So, I just wanted to say, if you don't see me for a couple days you will know it's my laptop. Hoping nothing will happen but just wanted to let you know. Just continue on chatting and know that I did not desert the ship. ;O)
Monday Morning Buzz
I had a very nice weekend and hope you all did too. Yes, I got my coffee break and much as I love the little girl, I badly needed my break and ds badly needed to be responsible for her (which he was, walks and meds and all ). I've been concerned about a few issues with her behavior lately and did some massive research on these issues. Of course as she's so sweet and cuddly and has been so ill in the past months, with all my mothering and pampering, she turned into pack leader. (dumbo me). She's here today and is under" military training". (I'm using the 2nd phase of "nothing in life is free" methodology: necessary for her and for me: no more marshmellow me, it's only confusing her and will get me bitten one of these days). Luckily for me, she is a fast learner. We get to go out for a short walk today. She's doing much better and only has 5 more antibiotic pills to take.
Other than that, the weekend was OK. We rested and walked in town, sat in the cafes, grocery shopped, I bought a set of 4 new mugs with fruit designs on them,, cute. Four mugs were set aside for donation (I use the "something in = something out" strategy) and will give them to my cleaning lady for her son. We did not have to go visit MIL/FIL and I was glad. I just wanted a "do nothing/play it by ear weekend." We ate lunches out and had easy dinners,,, (breakfast for dinner type). I also put on some nice clothes all weekend even though we just stayed here much of the time, but all week long when Coffee is here I put on the same old outfit as it gets covered with doghair,,, so it felt good to put on nice slacks (black watch plaid) and a nice navy blue cashmere sweater. LOL
That's enough of me and my weekend! Anxiously waiting for someone here to wake up and start the ball rolling...

HI Twiggy .... I know of other people who have trouble with iVillage on their computers ... I think it has to do with all the pop-ups which keep trying to load ... I hear my pop-up blocker blocking them all the time when I am on here ....
KNock on wood .... so far, so good for me .... knock on wood again ....
Donna, I'm was happy to learn I wasn't the only one having these computer problems...it's really been a big pain....I haven't reported it to ivillage but I know that others have, so maybe something will get done about it...soon, I hope!...There is "Customer Support" at the bottom of this page, if you want
First of all .... I have experienced many of the same problems you mentioned in your post ... so "I Second what Donna said!!"
I have been so freaking busy!!!
Hi there stranger....you sure have been busy...sure happy you stopped by, you've been missed..
Any word from Breez? Just can't seem to get her off my mind...sure hope nothing to serious is going on with her or her dh....
Oh, if you hear from La...tell her I said Hi:-)
Ahhh..yes..I do remember you mentioning you were going to host a Super Bowl Party! So, it's not just me who gets wiped out from hosting a party? It is so exhausting, but I dread the day when I can't do it anymore. Until then, I'll keep it up..just not too often now. I already have some ideas for my next get together..lol!!
You didn't mention BJ's for this week, hope you make it there for your Friday nite date..I think it is..for fun has to be part of the plans too!!
Welll ... I have been VERY worried about Bree, too .... I have emailed her and Facebooked her and may have to call her soon ....
Thanks for missing me and for caring about Bree and La!!!
Oh yes ... BJ's last Friday and BJ's this coming Friday ... and we always have a very nice time there.
I think I would have handled yesterday's party better ... but I ended up tutoring 1-3:30 and then one of the Party Guests, whom I also tutor, needed some serious help with her Math, too ... so I ended up tutoring until the game started ... and that stressed me out because I had planned to have 3:30-5:30 for Party set-up and greeting guests and last minute details.
Canned air, good idea! I've never tried that, but am thinking of going over my keyboard with the brush attachment to the vacuum cleaner. My desk is so tidy and clean now too after getting the house ready for the party we just had. I'm planning on keeping it this way..again..lol!!
You and my DH with the "in case" keeping stuff!! I'm a get rid of it person and have made him get rid of tons of stuff, but his
Thank you for the Customer Support tip! You'd think I'd remember that being that I used to be a CL..LOL!! This problem has been going on for a long time and it's about freakin' time something was done about it!!! If it's the ads, they can get different ads!! I hate that Walmart ad that takes up a whole page..in your face..that you have to scroll down past to read a post!! Grrrrr!!!!!!
Dearest Fran, your life does not have to be boring. Life is what you make of it and it goes by very fast!! I would really love it if you would get out this week and do something interesting to you that does not involve kids. Then come back and tell us about it. Don't be a hostage..I know you know what I mean.
Hugs and Love to you dear friend.
