Chit Chattin away!

We need an updated pic!!! They grow so fast girl. Smell her head everyday and kiss her tiny fingers...it just goes too fast. I'm about to go pick up Livi from school...she's not even 3 yet. Miss my tiny baby

Just email some vendors, tell them who you are and what you're doing. Never hurts to ask. You can get some numbered raffle tickets and draw for prizes. Or do bingo for prizes. Stuff like that maybe?

Hi everyone! How is everything going? Congrats on the wedding!

Baby's doing awesome. Can't believe how big she is. Already in 6 month clothing. We just fed her baby food for the first time this weekend, that was a trip!
I just have inadvertently become the head of my local vaper's club. Trying to think of things to do at the meets and how to contact vendors for donations. Man! Any suggestions?

On the donations, presenting yourself professionally with a well written solicitation will usually get a better result. Try with vendors that are "local" or well loved by your members (the vendors know how well received their products are by geographic area- at least any that do their homework and pay attention do). Most of all be friendly and expect that some will decline. From my experiences the folks that are active here in PIF are much more likely to be the type of folks that elicit positive responses for donations

Oh, how sweet! I love her so much and I'll cry when she goes to school, too (I already cried when I had to take her to daycare).

Yeah, we basically go there, do some door prizes, and then commence to drink beer I'm trying to get everything together and get a list of which vendors have been contacted already, but our meet is 1/28, so I better start workin' it!

True! Yes, there's actually quite a bit of vendors that are local to us: Goodprophets, Ikenvape, etc. and Rob from Bluemist actually comes to the meets, too. Wonder if anyone would donate a mod for our upcoming 1 year anniversary?

Why just a mod? Go for an Admin giveaway!

 

[oldsoldier]

no admin giveaways- its hard enough to giveaway a mod- look at spaky

 

[pchela]

Yay! Admin giveaways! Fun, fun!

What happens in the jacuzzi stays in the jacuzzi

of course it does- have you ever seen people clean those things?? me either- ..... YUCK!!

 

[Darkwitless]

LOL - Quittin - you litteraly made me snort and laugh out loud!


Red - seriously sniff that fresh baby head. Even if you use baby shampoo until they are 7 (not that I'd know anyone who did that!) it doesn't smell like sweet baby. Only when they are babies. Wish there was a way to bottle it - like new car smell!

#1 has been accepted at U of L, UC and Purdue. Still waiting to here from UK. The beatings have begun for the scholarship stuff - it's all due starting the 13th!. I lay awake at night trying not to stress about what he still needs to do. I SO want to jump in, but I can't write the essays for him.

See Red ^^ that is why you enjoy every day! The last 17.5 years have flown by. I can still remember how I felt ...... on the stick! Bringing him home! I'm not ready to pack him up and ship him off!

We also decided he needs to apply to the local university NKU - even though they don't offer his major. If he can get a full tuition scholarship there, he can transfer later and save $$$.

I missed the wedding.

Congratulations to two of the coolest peeps and meanest mods on ECF!

 

[loxmythe]

Wow, congrats to him! Oh man, these past 4 months have already gone by so fast, I can imagine! I know, I love to just hug her and give her kisses on her little chubby cheeks.

I am waiting to hear the sordid details

I am editing the video now.



Wait, is this a PM?

 

[pwyll]

Me too. Living vicariously is fun.

If it weren't for Vicarious I'd have no social life at all...

uggggggg Teenager#1 is REAL close to making my home teenager free for another year....

I have gotten to the point where I am having to make him READ the entire science text book outloud to me- just to make sure he is reading it and learning from it- instead of just looking up the answers-

Unfortunatly, in being his usual pleasant teenage self he is arguing WITH the book.

Another 50F day in Central NY -- this kind of Winter I can deal with

 

[oldsoldier]

the sad thing about teenagers is mine isn't too lazy to be argumentative. Just too lazy to do much else...

That is all
