Patty, that's so exciting that they'll be coming to see you guys! It's gonna be a great time I bet!!!!!!!!

Lynne, I say :p to the cleaning too! I gotta get on the ball this week and clean this house from top to bottom for my brothers visit this weekend. And I have a LOT of clutter and stuff.....I could just hide it all in closets!

Yeah, but you're gonna have such a good time with him loz - it'll all be worth the cleaning!

Patty - I didn't realize Triss was visiting so soon! She mentioned something about maybe getting to go by herself?

I wish we could all have a big group visit! I do have a few members closeby...Buzzylady--she's pretty new...and DeepCreekLake....And Meg is a few hours away.

It's probably gonna take me all week Lynne to tidy the house up :p ...from top to bottom...I'm really picky about the house being clean when people visit. And he's bringing his new girlfriend....mom said she's scared to meet us....I remember that feeling....when I first met Marks family I was terrified...well actually I think I drank a few beers first to loosen myself up....

awww loz - I just know you are going to welcome her with open arms - you are such a sweetie!

I finally made it here.
I'm a little slow tonight...kinda tired.
Funny how I'd forgotten how it felt to actually "work" on a "job". But it feels good to have paint under my fingernails again!

I'm going to try to make her feel as welcome as I can....she's nervous because she's a single mother with 3 kids....Paul doesn't have children, and doesn't really want any of his own. So I know she must be really special for him to get involved with her. If they married that would just make me an Aunt 3 more times! 3 more kids to spoil!

I didn't either, till she told me when I talked to her on Friday night! (I hardly slept that night, I was so excited!)

Her kids have spring break the first week in April, so she's going to try to come down sometime then. She didn't think that Dan would be able to come too, though. I told her that was too bad, cuz Keith is going to feel out-numbered... but she reminded me that the kids would all be here, so at least he won't be bored! (Keith is the "born Grampa" type, & will enjoy the heck out of those kids, I'll bet!)

I CAN'T WAIT!!

I'm here.

Anybody want to explain about what happened in the last coffeehouse? I got booted off the forum and was having trouble staying on long enough to keep up...

gee, I hate it when stuff goes on and folks get unhappy.

Merme

Merme, you have a PM

Hi everyone, is it safe to come in here??? I have not read but the last few pages and I OBVIOUSLY need to read back, that or someone needs to PLEASE FILL ME IN!

We are home and absolutely EXHAUSTED. We had a simply wonderful time at Bill's place and he is not only the perfect host but a wonderful man in general and he spoiled my kiddos rotten. His place is so much more beautiful in person than pictures can even begin to show. And contrary to popular belief, he is not older than dirt! I will be posting pics in a separate topic but give me until tomorrow or at the earliest once the kids go to bed. I have to get baths going here really soon but wantes to just pop in really quick.

And a special note to BILL... Thank you SO MUCH for having us all and showing us all over. We had such a good time and cannot wait to see you again the next time we are in town!

Triss, you're back ...I can't wait to see pics of you guys....Get those kiddos into the bath!

Welcome home, Triss! So good to see you!

I'm so glad you have such a good time, and am eagerly awaiting your next posts!

I have been getting the wierdest error messages the last few days on the forum. And, lots of times when I click on a post, to open it up to read, I am divereted to another site... selling vacs or ebay or what have you.

I have no idea why this is happening.

Merme

Welcome home, Triss. You were missed here.

Merme = that sounds like a virus of some sort, no?

I've never seen that happen here - only thing I get is very slow loading of pages, or the "cannot post" page.

Tina ~ I had a brainstorm earlier today about taking my own pictures with Maxi's camera!

Why couldn't I use the camera for the pictures I want, and then give it to my friend Angel along with the special cable and software and let her upload them and send them to me? Her computer is much better than mine.

Merme

That sounds like it could work, Merme!

No, I have no virus, Lynne. It only happens here and the diversions to other sites are things that are advertized on the forum. I don't understand it, but it's been happening.

Yesterday when I tried to use instant graemlins, I got a message that said "This link takes you to an insecure site. Do you still wish to procede?" I clicked on yes and got the graemlins and everything posted fine.

But I haven't been able to get the graemlins much today.

Merme

Hmmm, that does sound like a virus to me Merme...I know you said it wasn't but are your virus databases up to date???? I've never had anything like that happen here...that's freaky.

Yeppers, loz. I am very up-to-date. always am as I can't afford not to be.

So how are ya tonight girlfriend?

Merme

Merme...you have some spy stuff in your computer, or a trojan or something. It is not coming from this site...it's some advertising spy stuff thing that has gotten in your computer. It's so easy to get those...the other day I put a word in google to search for , and clicked on the first website on the page...and my virus detector thing started going off like fireworks...just getting on a website loaded my computer with a bunch of spyware and trojans... :rolleyes:

TRISS!
I am so tired.....but I cannot go to bed until you post some pictures.

me too, Cindy - this is torture!!!
