Hi Colleen,
You don’t look grumpy now that you are upright. You look like our beautiful Irish Colleen! Except now you don’t have your superpower of flying anymore. I sure hope Barbara finds us too. I left a note on her page on the other site but who knows if she will read it or not. I guess we are not getting e-mail notifications anymore either. If you look on your home page the notifications come in there. But it is just as easy to come here and check the posts and do my posting I guess. I’m just glad they didn’t totally eliminate the discussion pages. They probably could have since we are the only ones who use them. I hope in the future they don’t find them superfluous and eliminate them. Because we can’t post videos or pictures this new place doesn’t seem as welcoming as the old one. It seems more cold and businesslike-or maybe it’s just me.
I’ll bet Kaylee will be just fine in school. Lots of kids are better for the teachers than they are for their own family members. It is hard to see the grandkids that are farther away-especially once school starts. We’re lucky ours are only 15 minutes away. Plus I see them when I babysit. That’s why we go there every Friday so Greg gets to see them too.
I think you are right and need to find your own gastro doctor if you are not getting any satisfaction from that new guy. Especially if you have been feeling sick and having problems again. Please look into that soon for us so that you can feel better again. We hate to hear when you are feeling bad. And you know if you don’t do something we will nag you unmercifully until you see the doctor. We can be a big pain in the butt when we need to be. lol
We are getting some nice weather in the 70’s although it looks as if it may rain this morning.
GailHi Adele,
It is hard for the kids to change schools. In this case though both girls should at least know other people from their grade school so hopefully that makes it a bit easier. Do your schools open after or before Labor Day?
I wish the print on here wasn’t so small and squished together when we are typing a response. So far I haven’t found anywhere to change the font so I guess we are stuck with it. If someone finds it please let me know. Why can’t it be the same size when we are writing it as when it posts?
When we go to Jenny’s on Friday we pick up something from a local fast food place or order pizza or chicken. Something that the kids will like and to give Jenny a break.
I wish I could share some of our garden stuff with you. We have a ton-especially tomatoes. We take stuff over to Jenny’s weekly.
I am hoping for some pretty new Fall/ Halloween stuff from Quacker too. I was just thinking that they really do a much better job with the fall winter long sleeve stuff than they do with the short sleeve stuff in the summer. The summer stuff doesn’t have as many cute pictures. They need to work on that. Plus I don’t think I have one single short sleeve shirt with a butterfly!!! That’s a darn travesty! Oh, I take that back-maybe one from a long time ago that went with some jeans.
My SIL doesn’t have the bone marrow test until Wednesday and after that I don’t know how soon results will be in. I’m trying to sooth her until then.
I guess we no longer get e-mail’s when someone else posts even though there is a box to check for it at the bottom of the page. You just have to come here and look and see if someone posted. If you look on your “my page” it does show notifications there that you can click n to show that someone posted. I have not tried to click on those yet to see if they bring you over here. I will try that next.
GailCynthia,
None of us are receiving e-mail notices. If you checked the box at the bottom of the page about notifying you by e-mail about responses nothing seems to happen. However, if you go to your page you will see a place that says notifications and if it has a number in it click on it. That will show you that there have been replies. The best thing to do is to just come here everyday and look for new postings. Someone comes to post nearly every day. It’s not as convenient because you have to scroll through everything to find the latest posts but I am just grateful that we have a place for discussions. I guess we have to be grateful that they didn’t shut us down completely.
GailHi Girls,
Well sounds like this has been somewhat of a frustrating experience for all of us.
Colleen and Adele-Kendall did somewhat better the second day of school-but I’m sure that she’d never turn down any of Adele’s sweets-for that matter neither would I. lol You are right Colleen-she’s had trouble every year starting in kindergarten. For a child she just stresses too much. Jenny was a little the same but not quite as extreme.
We think Gabby and Enya’s mother expected that Adam’s parents would offer to pay the tuition-remember they all live with Adam’s parents and I think she just expected another hand out from them since they have always been there to help out because after all Gabby and Enya are their grandkids. But Adam’s Dad is retiring soon and his Mom didn’t want to spend the extra money for tuition. Anyway, the Mom’s manipulations backfired. Jenny has talked to the girls and so far they’ve said that they are enjoying their classes-so it seems that they are making the adjustment-it was just so mean waiting til the last minute to tell them. Adam said they were able to take a tour and practice opening their lockers and such the day before school started. That’s one thing nice about being in a smaller town-someone at the school took the time to do that for them.
You know we go over to Jenny’s almost every Friday for dinner and a visit. The older kids were playing at the neighbors so just Piper was in the house. It made me think why do they need a perpetual motion machine-just get a 2 and 1/2 year old! That child just never stops either the movement or the talking. Wow! It’s exhausting! And she’s not hyper just a normal two year old. lol She does love to go to the swimming pool-she tells me she’s taking lessons(she’s not but the older two do so she thinks she is) She also loves Minnie Mouse. she has a variety of Minnie clothes and she just got Minnie shoes.
Well looking around this site it looks like we can no longer post our own photos or videos. I suppose they want to keep it cleaner looking for all the Quacker stuff. I see there are birthday’s Colleen. Remember on the old site when we could decorate our home page with whatever colors we wanted and a picture border on the top? Now our pages are very sparse and I don’t even see a place where you could leave a message to wish someone a happy birthday. Although the front page looks different than it did yesterday. All that Facebook stuff. So maybe things are still a work in progress. At least we still have a discussion page-for now.
Gailin reply to: Found the site #14489Cynthia,
If you want to chat with the rest of us-I’ve already started a new discussion page called something like the Dog Days of August part II.Hey Colleen-Did you notice that you are no longer floating sideways?
Hi Colleen,
I was just going to write you some instructions. So glad that you got on. It took me a while too. I still have to find a shortcut. I don’t want to mess around too much yet and mess something up. This is totally different than before. When they changed it before at least there were some similar things. Don’t know how to get friends and other stuff but we’ll all learn together I guess. I kind of got used to that little thing that showed who else was online. This has been frustrating because I can’t post the pictures like I used to. Even Greg couldn’t figure it out for me.
Will talk more in the morning.
Gail
I will start another book page sometime soon too. -
