Wouldn't it be nice to form a group of friends, where religion doesn't matter, what size you are doesn't matter, what race you are is unimportant?  Where you can just be your TRUE self, no matter your income, your likes or dislikes.  A place where you can just "sit" and feel welcome.....and meet nice, down to earth, common sense folks.  Well, this is the place. 

 

Let's make this an enjoyable chat board.  If you feel you have an "issue" with another member, please don't attack that person and use hurtful and hateful words, especially in front of other members.  Let's stay kind, like mature adults should do.   If an issue should arise, kindly ask that other member if you could share a word privately.  i.e...email or instant messaging.

 

Let's make this board a fun, free discussion on anything we so choose.  No debating, just sharing our thoughts and having good fun conversation about anything we want.  Good old fashioned front porch chatting!

 

Anyone welcome........

 

Amy

Quote From: iamme4me

JETTA - Looks as if you and Amy both had early nights last night. 

 

You were mentioning checking your blood pressure......are you on medication?  I have high blood pressure and have to take 3 pills........hopefully if I lose some weight  I can reduce the medication. 

 

Is Madyson a little girl you babysit?  Not trying to be nosey just trying to get your children straight.  I always find it very interesting that a lot of people when choosing names for their children when they have more than one seem to stick to the same letter.  Think it is neat.  You have Amy and Anna.  My son's children are Jaime (girl) and Jackson. 

 

Be happy you have rain, Jetta, as you don't have to shovel it......we are having quite a storm........snow, freezing rain for today and tomorrow.  A lot of areas around us are closing down their businesses for the day because of the weather.    I just went out and put my garbage out for tomorrow morning and I am chilled to the bone. 

 

You have a great day.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

Yea, it was an early night, even though I had to get up in the middle of it all, :)

As far as my blood pressure, not really sure what's going on there, we have all been sick arond here the biggest part of the Winter, I went in last month and the blood pressure was high, I am on medication for now, I go back next week. I was told to record it twice a  week until I go back. It hasn't been running as high as when I first went to the Doc but it is still high. I have a feeling i am gonna be on the medication for while. My hubby has also got high blood pressure as well as high cholestrol, I am changing all of our eating habits around here. We really are not junk food eaters but there are some things we can change. So we will see what happens.

Yes, Madyson is the little one I babysit. She is three years old. She is a little sneaky at times but she's a good kid. My girls love her. And yea, My girls have the same letter name, both starting with A which was not planned, just happened. My first, I origianlly wanted to name her Donna after my Missionary friend in Bolivia, but hubby didn't like it,LOL and becuase we both have very jeolous hearted families, we decided it was best not to name our kids after any one, which was mainly his decission.quite frankly, those people were the last ones on my mnd,LOL.

Anna was due on Christmas day, so we were going to name her Natalie which means "born on Christmas" but since she came 9 days later, we went with our second choice which was Anna. Her middle name was suppose to be Catrice which is a form of Catherine which is Amy's middle name, but instead named her Anna Elizabeth, myhubby's choice for the middle name.

LOLLLLL, did you understand all that??????????? ok, here are my girls names, Amy Catherine and Anna Elizabeth, the little girl I babysit is Madyson Lea.

O yea, I am happy withthe rain even though Iwouldn't mind if it went away. I understand about the snow and ll, I live in Ohio and we have had our share. I am soo ready for Spring. Been doing some Spring cleaning as I do not plan on spending much time in the house, This Winter did me in,LOL.

it's nice reading about every one's happenings, I love message boards, at least this type of board. Anna and I need to start getting ready so we can go pick sister up, then we are going to head for the Mall, they love playing in the kids play area, it's not too big but they love it then we will get some food to eat. I told hubby last night that he was defending for himself tonight because he complained last night,LOLLLLLl not sure if he knew I was serious or not, but i am. He did spologize and told me he didn't like this eating healthy thing,LOLLLLL but man, I would like to have him around a bit longer, like I always say, men are so much like kids, at least my man is,LOL. he's a great guy and I love him to pieces, but man, sometimes I wonder where the heck he came from,LOLLLLL

And Amy, the dress up clothes is a great idea, that's actually what my girls use, old clothes. They do have a couple of store bought costumes but they actually like the old stuff better, I love having girls.

JETTA - Your girls names are lovely and their second names just match right in. 

 

Glad you are having your blood pressure looked after and hope your hubby is too, along with his cholesterol........you guys are far to young to have these problems.  Hope your hubby eventually realized how important it is to eat healthy.......I am sure he will.

 

I used to vacation in Akron and near Cleveland when I was young.    My grandparents lived in that area. 

 

Have fun in the play area in the Mall.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

LISA G.

Quote From: jahluvs

 I live in extreme NW Ohio, and yes, that's me...several years ago.

LISA G.  -  You are a beautiful girl.  

 

I had relatives in Ohio until recently but my aunt died in January and my uncle is in the process of moving to California.   We used to have a flight to Cleveland from where I live and it only took 30 min. but they discontinued it about a year ago. 

 

Our stormy weather has let up for the time being but the roads are really bad and there have been lots of accidents in the area.

 

Have a nice evening.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

Thanks, I like their names too, it fits them just perfect.

I think the blood pressure was high cause of the sickness and all and I  am just getting over  an urinaty infection which might have beena part of that as well. I think stress also may have played a part in it.  Just too many emotions have been flying around here but all s well. hubby is having his monitored and he is doing better onhis eating, he ate a salad for lunch AND dinner, which is good for him.

I live in Columbus, a couple hours away form Akron and Cleveland.

Hope everyone is doing well, Tomorrow is Friday which means the next  day we all get to sleep in,yay! I am soooo not a morning person and this getting up early stuff, well, let's just say, I am surviving. :)

I am gonna sign off here in a bit and get the girlies into bed and then to the shower and make it an early night to bed myself. will be home the majority of the day tomorrow, played all day today and gotta get some stuff done tomorrow.

We spent a good three hours at the mall, there was a family there that we had met this past summer at the church we went to Bible school at and Amy recognized the little girl, so they played and of course we ate and went back in to play again, and every one is beat tired.

 Have A good night everyone, who knows, I might make it back on tonight, the shower might wake me up,LOL.

Happy Friday!

Good mornin' everyone. TGIF, eh? Especially for you, Amy! LOL

 

My youngest, Morgan, is sick today. She got that nasty stomach virus that's been going around here. She's supposed to go to her dad's today, as she does every weekend, but I think I'm going to keep her home this weekend. I don't think she needs to be spreading this to another household. We've already been dealing with it here, so no biggie if she stays home. That way, mommy can look after her.

Children's names

Quote From: iamme4me

AMY - What lovely names and middle names your children have.   They really suit, just like Jetta's children's name.  Think people generally choose names that match well together.  My son's name is also Christian and his second name is Spencer.  Love Chloe's second name.......goes so well together. 

 

My G/D's name is Jaime September and her baby brother's name is Jackson Spencer.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

My kids are Siovan Rae, Devin Lee, and Morgan Lane. Siovan is supposed to be pronounced "zsa-von" but so many had trouble with it and my mom said, "I'm just gonna say 'sa-von'", so that kinda stuck. When I had her, I had not been married yet and my maiden name is French based, so I wanted a name that sounded French. I used to wach that soap opera Ryan's Hope and there was a girl on there with that name, but they spelled it Siobahn...or something like that. Her middle name came from my dad's middle name, and his father's...Ray. My son, Devin...well, I saw that name in the newspaper and liked it...the story was about a baby that had been caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting and died in the crib. Devin's middle name is the same as his dad's middle name. I didn't know what I was going to name my youngest til I actually gave birth to her and the name just came to me. Morgan Lane. Her middle name came from her dad's best friend's middle name...he had died recently in a car crash.

LISA G - Sorry that Morgan is sick with the stomach virus.   I am sure she will be happy to stay home with you this weekend when she is sick........kids always want their mummy when they are not feeling well. 

 

Have a good weekend.   We are still having very wintery weather so I think I will just stay in.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

She's actually feeling better. She wants to go to dad's this w/e since she's staying home next w/e. So, hopefully, she will continue to feel better and not pass this on to her dad's household. They have 6-8 other people there at any given time. I'm sure if they haven't had it, they don't want it!!!

 

I'm pretty sure I'll be staying in most of the w/e as well. I don't usually feel up to going anywhere. I'm a hermit.
