Nothing new to look at this morning on the forum. I was tempted to go read another forum and I was hesitant. Why? I don't feel the love in them. I think we have something special here like a family with all the interaction, good and bad. We lost a couple of kids recently but we gained some new ones and we seem to be in happy mode right now.

Good morning John Boy

Just found the ratings button

I'm giving the active threads ratings.:biggrin:

I agree, I enjoy this forum much more than others. It feels so much more friendly.

Today I'm going to check in at the flea market and see what's happening. I'll probably go to Hobby Lobby again to use my 40% off coupon for the day. When I get home I'm going to work some more on my rose bush painting.

I was thinking about this Dick and everybody....maybe we should do a weekly chat thread instead of a daily, and keep adding to it each day for a week? What do you think?

 

[dickhutchings]

Sounds good to me Terry. Maybe just keep it going indefinitely and call it the Good Morning thread! The dates are automatically there when someone posts so why do we need to start with those?

 

[dickhutchings]

Maybe Good Day would be better. We need to come up with a good title.

 

[leighann]

Great idea!! No clue on a name though :unhappy:

I need to get out today, but I don't wanna!! :crying:

 

[Susan Mulno]

I think it's a great idea. We could call it "Checking In" or "What's New?" or something like that.

 

[dickhutchings]

Cool! When we get enough suggestions, we can have a poll!

 

[TerryCurley]

I like the idea but I don't think one thread should go on indefinitely. I think that would be annoying dealing with too many pages. Perhaps one thread each month?

Perhaps for a name we could use "Chat - March 2016". I think the name of Chat is the most appropriate.

 

[dickhutchings]

I like that and we would only have to type it once a month.

 

[dickhutchings]

OK, I took Terry's idea and changed the title of the thread. I like it, Terry you should be a moderator.:biggrin: Anyway, on with the show this is it. Da da da :brocoli:


This will be the start of a lonely week for me. My wife is going to PA for a week to stay with my daughter. I will have the dog to keep me company, yay! On the bright side, I'll probably be painting constantly.


What's new?

 

[TerryCurley]

Sometimes I think it's good to take a break from each other. I'm talking about spouses. I usually go on at least one retreat a year. Generally it's just for the weekend. This year it will be in October. I'll be joining a bunch of online friends from DS in Branson MO. Last year I went on an artist retreat.

You will appreciate your wife even more when she returns.

I'm glad you made this chat thread.

Another idea might be to mention it to newbies. Make sure they know it's not a click and we welcome new blood.

What's up people? I like the new 'One chat per month' idea, and the name is cool tho!

If I told you a few days ago that my life was going crazy... ooohh guess whaat! I now have a nice injury in my right foot! I cutted the sole (hm... google translate here XD) with a glass/cup the other day. I stepped on it and bam! Lot of blood everywhere xD So now I can't walk for at least 10 days, can't be training for at least another 15 days... lot of problems with the college cuz we have to excersice and swim and now I can't... yeah, i'm very happy. Woud like to draw but I'm not in the mood and my foot hurts if I don't keep it elevated, and that's not a great posture for drawing.

Guess I just have to smile and wait .-.

 

[Susan Mulno]

Gee FanKi, tough break. :crying: I hope it stops hurting soon. :vs-kiss:

 

[dickhutchings]

Oh man that's awful. Sorry to hear that @Franki. Let it heal.

 

[FanKi]

Thank you guys =)

 

[TerryCurley]

FanKi , I'm so sorry you hurt your foot. Not being able to walk on one of your feet is a hard thing.

 

[leighann]

@FanKi ... So sorry about your foot :unhappy: I hate being "down", not able to run around the house and drive the hubby bonkers.
@dickhutchings ...I'm with TerryCurley about breaks from your spouse. I just wish I could get one. :devil: My hubby is disabled, but can still walk and go places, but I'm his caregiver, so we are together 24/7. Most days he defies death at least twice. :vs_lol:

Loving this new monthly thing...great idea! I will just have to remember to check in each day.

 

[TerryCurley]

I have nothing much planned for today. (Friday 2/18/16). Going to do some minor chores and then spend the day painting and watching movies. Have I told you that I love being retired!

 

[dickhutchings]

Grrr. I want to be retired. Got a few years to go yet.
