Ryanh as one of the newbies to the dinner it would be interesting what you read was on the people there. The event did get started after we stood up. Have you ever tried goosing someone sitting down? Also, about the picture being posted I thought that it had been okayed at the dinner. Thus far, I am ok with any of them from FB being posted here. What say the rest of you? Anyone mind one of the group being posted here? I do have my favorite and it is the one of the group with Pam and her man.

I have seen this before and I LIKE IT! I am not the worlds greatest speller or typer and I make loads of mistakes. I think it shows great intelligence for people to read it and just go with the flow. It proves that it can be done and people who get all bent out of shape over a few typeos or mispellings need to eat more fruit!

I carry bottled water inside my huge killer purse everywhere I go. I take it out and drink from it while at the movies. Sure they sell bottled water there for 3-4 dollars but most of the theaters I go to also have free water available from fountains. To me water is still one of those items that you should be able to enjoy without guilt or concern, almost like fresh air. I don't know, maybe my head is in the clouds on this.

My son saw it and said it was really good but thought that I might not like it because of the violence and gore. He knows how sensitive I am to that and wanted to give me a heads up. I have read every reply here and have not seen much mentioned on those two things. I am now thinking that maybe it isn't so bad afterall?

My heart goes out to both you and your wife. Forgiveness can be very difficult especially if we feel that some accountability or apology should be given and it doesn't happen. As one of my goals this year I feel I need to forgive someone who seriously wronged our family years ago. The story is very complex and personal but I have come to the conclusion that this man has had many opportunities to make things right but after 5 years has not done so. I don't need to carry his lack any longer by holding onto something that he needs to be responsible for. Don't get me wrong, this is difficult but to not forgive holds myself as a prisoner. I am not sure how I will finally let it go, but because I have held onto it for so long it will be something symbolic. Most likely it won't even involve this man because it will be something that will occur within me. Here is a quote I like. "When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free".

:lol:We did have a lot of fun talking pictures! BTW, I only would have goosed the two mentioned. Elphie is my "Girl Tuesday" and Honor and I have shared a lot.

I know, I did get Honors attention but she was only mid table.

Uhm, excuse me for interrupting but Dravin I have a sweet picture of you and Elphie together, do you want it? Are you on FB? It is there as well. I think Elphie is much better than any waitress or waiter. :)

So is it okay to post the picture here of Pam (the cougar) and her new man? I have a great one and could crop out the rest of the group if needed. For that matter Pam also has it now bc of facebook. Pam you have my permission to use that photo here for the enjoyment of others!!! Honor, the only texting I saw was Pams son but who could blame him if my son would have even come he would have been texting too. :)

Hey CM, I would love to meet you!!! I was waiting to reply after I knew about our holiday plans. At this point looks like I will be able to make it on that Tuesday. BTW, I didn't know that Checker got married either.....

Thanks Pam!!! We need more light humor here.

See how smart YOU are Elphie!!!!

Thanks for the link... I do best with visual learning and this is great! :)

Thanks CM! I just got my laptop within the last month and will dig out some of the stuff that came with it. You have the wheels turning in my head. :)

THANKS PAM!! My baby girl is due the day before her one year wedding anniversary. P.S. She will always be my baby.

I just checked my programs and I have Windows Movie Maker, any one used that with success?

I am going to play around with it. I love the montage you did for your baby!!! I was grinning, laughing and even awe struck, this will be great fun!! Now if I can just get the video from this old handycam... maybe I need a special usb.... The search is ON

No, NO, Honor you are the AMAZING ONE!!!!! Oh yes, ANNOUNCEMENT: I have TWO grandbabies on the way!!! One in Nov, and one in March!!! I would love your company so lets see what we can find. Free online programs huh?

Sorry to be so bold in the title.:) This month my VT's came with a message about continued learning and so I thought what is something I would like to learn about. For years, I have wanted to have my videos from when my children were small put onto a DVD. With the message from my VT's I have decided that I would like to walk this path and have creative licence with my own videos. I know that there are places where these things can be sent out to but I would like to learn this for myself. I am also wanting to learn more about photography and picture editing so this can be an extention of my new passion. The video camera I have is a Sony Handycam that stores the videos on cassettes that are called 8 mm. We have never put our videos on anything else and to watch them we have connected the recorder with jacks to our TV. We have a lot of cassettes so I am looking for away to record them to DVD and then give them to the family and friends in the video. I have done a bit of searching on the internet and found software and recording devices. Now I am looking for something that really makes this easy and fun. With Grandbabies on the way I see a great need for this talent in our family and hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. If you have some ideas feel free to contact me or post here. Thanks, learning can be sooooooo exciting!!!

This time last year we were adding Blocks of ICE to our pool (which didn't help much) to cool it down. This weekend I turned on the heater to get it to 90 degrees.

SKATEBOARDING>>> Now that's an idea I can use!!!

Thanks Honor Dear. I hardly think that would happen. I have taught most of them in Primary or in Young Womens.

Hey, I know someone who got asked to quit smoking outside on the buildings on Temple Square too. I think they watch for this kind of activity.

Over the years here, I have learned that there are some topics that just don't interest me or I know what will follow. I think that there are people who come here to cast around "power" because it is all they have. Sad really but true in some cases. I don't post much anymore because I don't feel the need to be "right" on a "message board". I do however enjoy reading and sharing IDEAS along with making friends. I guess it boils down to motive and how far people will go. A year or so ago I started a post about bangs and it was quite lovely. The way you opened this thread was very nice and so far everyone is behaving for the most part. Intent also plays a role in the way these threads go IMO. :)

That is great Maureen! He leaves the day after my first grandchild is due.
