I am not complaining,but was wondering if there was away the staff could allow us more time to Tye our messages--so we won't keep getting kicked off without knowing it til we hit the post key.and get sent back to sign in page It is alittle frustrating to have to sign back in to findthe messageyou just typednot posted.I wasn't going to ask--just figured it was happening to me due to fact I have trouble sometimes working my fingers to type and I can be slow.But I have read where others are experiencing the same problem.So it's not just my fingers.

If the staff can't do anything about this issue to help,I understand,and will continue finding ways to work around the problem.

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Vickie

sorry for misspelled word--Tye our messages is suppose to be type our messages.and the spell cheecker didnt catch it either--I don't feel so bad

HI SHIRLEY

Quote From: iamme4me

YOU ARE DOING SO WELL BEING DOWN TO 139.7 LBS. YOU SAID, "SORRY ABOUT THE UGLY MUG' IN YOUR P.S. - I THINK IT IS A VERY SWEET FACE AND IT IS NICE TO SEE YOU EVERY TIME YOU POST. I DON'T KNOW HOW TOSHOW PICTURES - MY COMPUTER SKILLS ARE LIMITED.

YOU WILLREALLY ENJOY CENTRAL HEATING- MY NEIGHBOURS HAVE BOTH AND BASICALLY USE THE WOOD HEATER AS IT IS LESS COSTLY - NOT REALLY LESS COSTLY BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF WOOD BUT HE WORKS AT A PLACE WHERE HE CAN GET ALL THE WOOD SCRAPS HE WANTS. I WONDERED WHY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HEATING AND BEING COLD AND THEN SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT YOU ARE HAVING YOUR WINTER. WE ARE HAVING VERY HOT AND HUMID WEATHER - I'M SENDING YOU SOME, LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET IT (lol).

HUGS, Shirley

How are Shirley is'nt it lovely to get back on the site and all our friends are back plus some new ones,had a very long day at work ***BOSS WAS CRABBY SO EVERYBODY COPPED IT***,at the moment wood over here to buy is 500.00 dollars a truck load,we have a family sawmilling business so we don't have to pay for wood but hubby has 2 days off and as well as me working full time that time off we try to spend together so central heating sounds wonderful(I'M STILL WAITING FOR A BIT OF YOUR WEATHER).Anyway I better catch up a bit later and thanks for your lovely comments,but I have a long way to go and heading in the right direction thanks to all the support I'm getting,lol and hugs sharon.

Good Morning

Hello Ladies...thought I'd hop over here too for a quick note. Hello (((((((Vickie)))))))) Good morning to you ......I believe more rain is predicted today but who knows that could change. I have an appt this morning so I just have a few minutes to say hello.

 

(((((((Marion)))))))))) well, maybe the icons will get cleared up and the team is working on getting everything sharpened up......but at least we are getting on the board so this is a good thing.

 

Today should be a pretty quiet day for me. Going through paperwork today and getting that all organized etc. Fun huh?  Well, have to do it sometime. 

 

Think I'll go hop on my exercise bike and at least get 20-30 min in before I have to get ready to leave.  Everybuddy have a great day.

INSTEAD OF SENDING ME 3 EMAILS ABOUT LINKS ETC. . . 2 OF WHICH WERE BOGUS. . . WHY NOT SEND US ALL AN E MAIL ASKING WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FORMATED ON THE BOARDS. . . .I THINK NUMBERING IS A NECCESITY. . . I AM CONFUSED GOING BACK AND FORTH. .

I HONESTLY HATE TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS JUST ME. . SO INSTEAD OF US ASKING ALL THE QUESTIONS. . .WHY DON'T THEY ASK US A THING OR TWO. . . .THERE I SAID IT AND I'M GLAD. .

IT IS ANOTHER LOVELY DAY HERE ON THE ISLAND AND I AM TRYING TO CATCH UP. . .ONE THING I DID DISCOVER IS THAT SINCE THERE IS NO PLACE TO MARKFAVOURITES ON THE BOARD IF WE IN CANADA MARK ALL THE BOARDS SEPARATELYAS AFAVOURITE. .

HUGS TO ALL. . . CATCH YOU LATER. . REEN

Hi Reen,well darl you are not on your own the board can be very frustrating at times but I think I have worked it out just keep pottering with it but make sure you have on your profile the oldest messages that way when they come up your not reading backwards and after you post your last messages it will say your last 3 messages just click on your last message anything after that is new  does that make sense,anyway glad your back how have you been going?Drinking lots of water and IE this end (CAN'T STOP PE---ING)HA-HA.I catch you later lol and hugs sharon

Hello Sharon........what a lovely picture of yourself. Hey, Shirl-Girl, I hear you on "limited" computer skills. I'm definitely not the type to figit around trying things out. As a matter of fact it was a joke if you saw me trying to get my icon on the board. Even following the directions, this computer has a mind of it's own I'm telling ya (((((((((((smiling))))))))))))

 

Well, it definitely is a plus to have both forced air heating and a wood burning stove/fireplace. Of course, where I'm at that is not on my mind at this time the FORCE AIR / AIR CONDITIONING IS ((((smiling)))))) that's what's really neat about cyberspace. Other areas of the country and world are at our finger tips.

 

You ladies have a grand day today and I'll check back later or tomorrow. I've got some business to attend to so I may not have a chance to get back on.

Hello Dear

 

You should be able to just go to the box next to POST  that says SUBSCRIBE click on it ....then when you come back later or the next day your favorites are listed in your PROFILE just click on that and you'll see your FAVORITES listed at the bottom left of your screen.

 

Works pretty nifty.......to the right of your Favorites it also lists like your last three postings. Have fun

 

hugs

Clarification.......Go to the POST A MESSAGE and look to the right........you will see a box that says

UNSUBSCRIBE or it might say SUBSCRIBE if you click on the word it changes to the other one.....so just click on it to SUBSCRIBE TO A BOARD YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO.....OTHER THEN THAT I DO BELIEVE ONCE YOU ARE SUBSCRIBED THE BOARD AUTOMATICALLY PUTS YOU BACK WHERE YOU LEFT OFF....... I HOPE THAT CLEARS THAT UP A BIT AND I DIDN'T CONFUSE YOU......
