Okay girls to ask someone to be your friend go to the members list and click on the box to the far right of their name to ask them to be your friend. To accept a friend go to your my page and any requests should show up there and just click on them to accept.

Hi Adele,
So here is the burning question-is saying gravy instead of sauce a regional thing or an Italian thing or a regional Italian thing. lol I wonder what Antonella calls it.
I can sympathize with Heather. When I was younger i would make myself sick over changes too. It’s something that you just really can’t control. Your emotions take over your physical body. I think we all shed some tears with each new step that our child takes in life-and when it is the youngest it feels like the end of an era and we kind of have to reassess what the next step will be for us too. Plus it just makes us feel darn older! lol As for the driving- when you live out in the country you say a big yahoo when your kid gets their license and you hand them the car keys because you have been carting them back and forth into town sometimes 2 or 3 times a day for the last 10 years for all their various activities and to visit their different friends.
Are you still watching AGT? I can’t believe that regurgitation guy is still on. I hope he gets kicked off this go round. I would not spend 2 cents to see his show in Vegas. I guess they’ll be announcing the DWTS cast in another couple of weeks too. Where did the summer go?

Hi Cynthia,
I didn’t get rid of all my decorations but I have scaled down on the amount that I use. I do like to put up some decorations though especially at Christmas because the pretty lights make me feel happier. I put up the trees because Santa leaves presents for the grandkids under our tree too. I have just cut down on the amount of stuff that I put out. The last two years our son helped me because he was living here and that was great. But I understand the feeling of not wanting to go through all that work just for yourselves. When it goes from being fun to being a chore that’s the time to reassess.
It’s tough to have no family left especially around holidays. How many siblings did you have? I have a brother and a sister who fortunately are still alive even though neither lives close by. My husband also has a sister and two brothers-so we are very, very lucky. Hope that you are having a good day.
Gail

Colleen,
My memory is so bad. Here’s how i think I accepted a friend. Go to your my page and it either shows up there or click on where it says friends and the request will show up and then you can accept. Hope this helps.
I’m with Ron-love that funnel cake! Any carnival is worth it just for that.
I kind of thought that I remembered someone saying that there would be a TSV early in September. Going into fall I guess a DJ would be appropriate.
As for Barbara-i wrote her an e-mail and got no response. I guess if she wants to come on she knows where to find us. Last time I think she thought they were shutting the whole website to posts so maybe she still thinks that. I will try to contact her again before they shut down the old site. Maybe she didn’t get the e-mail with the temporary password yet. I think Debbie just does not feel like her old self and it’s just too hard for her to come on. I want to tell her that we don’t care if she writes her old style long funny posts or not-we just want “her.” But she just doesn’t seem up to it. We just have to see what the future will bring.
I think girls more so than boys start to change around middle school and of course a lot of them will just not talk about what they are feeling with their parents. I think I would check with the teachers also and see if they observe if she is being bothered by the other kids or what they think could be going on. If she doesn’t want to take any of the courses that her older sister took maybe she feels like she cannot compete with how well her older sister does and that makes her feel bad. Maybe try to find out what she loves to do and see if she can take courses that pertains to that. Didn’t one of them write and illustrate comic books or something like that? I can never remember the other sisters name-isn’t that weird?
Here’s a sample of how Kendall gets so easily upset. When she got home from school yesterday she told me that she lost her lunch box. Now i knew she would be upset so I asked when she had it last and then she told me she left it in the school room at the end of the day. I knew she was upset so I said the teacher would find it and put in in the lost and found at the office and it will be there tomorrow. Well she seemed satisfied with that. But when her mom got home and she told her she started crying and wanted Jenny to go back to the school and get it right then even though we both assured her that it would be there in the morning and Jenny would go in with her and get it in the morning. She just stresses over the small things so much. I wish I could just give her a big hug and tell her not to worry it will be all right but she is not a hugger at all. She needs not to be so pent up.
Yesterday Kendall and Piper were playing dress up and Lachlan wanted to put on this one dress with fairy wings attached so I helped him get into it. I so wanted to get my phone and snap a photo but i knew he wouldn’t let me. it would have been a great picture! All of them in their princess dresses. Piper (the ham) is the only one who will pose though.
I hope that I told you right about how to accept friends.

Adele,
At the top of this page is a note I wrote to Colleen telling her how to friend people. Colleen-I believe you accept the friending on your “my page.”

Hi Colleen,
Yes there was an e-mail that said the old site would be open until Sept. 15. None of us like change but we have to come over here as we have no where else to go once they shut the old site down. At least our little group of regular chatters were all brought over as members-except for Barbara-so she may not even know about the change yet. Got an e-mail from Sue saying that she could not even get on the new site and they can’t even get back to her to help her until sometime this week. So it must be a work in progress right now.
I hope that you find a gastro doctor soon-especially if you are being bothered again. I know you feel like it is the same old thing but you still should have someone that can check it out.
Lachlan either starts school at the end of this week or the beginning of next. Preschool is only a half day three days a week now so it is not like going to kindergarten for a full day. Lachlan and Finn are in the same class and his Aunt is the head teacher there so things are pretty easy for him. I’m sorry that your grand got sick at school. I wonder shy she no longer likes school? Could it be the classes or a teacher or the other kids. When they do change like that it’s good to know why in case they are having some sort of problem.
I did e-mail Barbara last week to tell her about the change but if she doesn’t check e-mail regularly she may not see it for weeks. I check my mail every morning-there’s always something there even if it’s junk.
So far I don’t detect any other activity on this site but us. At least before someone else would come on and post something occasionally.
Gail

Hi Again Colleen,
You and I must have been on posting at exactly the same time. So when I went to my regular e-mail there was the message from you that you wrote on this discussion right in my e-mail. So we are getting notifications now. Except where the old way just had a link to go to the site to read what was posted I could read your whole posting right in my e-mail. If that makes any sense. Then at the bottom there was a link that I clicked on and it brought me straight to your posting. I think we must be the experimental guinea pigs. lol
Did anyone else have this happen?
Gail

Colleen,
If you are looking to refriend people go to the part where it says members. Decide how you want them listed ex. alphabetically or what ever the other choices are. Then when you find someone that you want to friend you will see on the right hand side of the column a big friend request thing. Click it and wait for them to respond. You may not find all your old friends though. On the old site there were 6000 members-so far on this one there are only 3000. I found Debra and Sue but not Barbara and Debbie. I have no idea how they decided who to bring over and who not to. Or maybe they are eventually going to bring over the rest of them. It really doesn’t make any sense. I’m sure they are still working out the kinks. Hope this helps.
Gail

Weird. Yesterday I went to my page and clicked on Notifications and it showed me that other people had posted on this discussion. Today when I click on it it just keeps on sending me over to that sign in page. I hope they are still just getting the kinks out.
