My mom passed 9 years ago and I truly miss her several times a day. This is the first year that I have been able to put out the Halloween decorations I made for her. I just thought they were cute and easy to make and that maybe ya'll would like to make them with your grandkids. The pumpkin is just a balloon with orange string wrapped around it and then you put craft glue all over it. You let it dry on wax paper and when it is dry, just pop the balloon (pull it out) and then decorate. The ghost is just cheese clothe over a glass and you put glue on it to and after it is dry you just decorate it too. Very simple and I thought they were cute. Just thought I would share them with you. Kind of makes me feel better when I tell someone about her. Thanks for letting me share.

G'Sunday mornin, all!


R2R, that is sure a fun way to decorate for Halloween. Sharing stories of our lost loved ones always makes us feel better, and honoring your mother with those decorations is beautiful.
Since I'll be leaving this afternoon for an overnight stay with my grandbabies, I just may do something like this, so thank you for sharing.

Myranny, what you did was selfless and commendable. I salute you for being so generous! You gave me pause to think again of what I can do to help someone. Thank you!

I just quit sending Locks of Love donations. I sent them hair for 21 years.

Why did you quit? I sent them a mostly grey braid a year ago. Thy can sell it to finance other needs. Probably the last time for me, my hair grows so slowly now.

My mother was a beautician. For a number of years, I also had long hair (only down to my shoulders, but long for me). When I started noticing that my hair was getting thinner and thinner, I figured it was time to cut it all off, which I did. I specifically asked the beautician to send it in for wig making. She was shocked that a guy knew about that sort of thing, but was happy to do it.

If anyone who uses Tapatalk could help me, I would appreciate it. I downloaded it (because it was free now) and I can sign on but the text is in a different language. I search for ecf and it let me sign on. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm usually pretty good about figuring these things out, but I am tired of futzing (thanks Mike for my fav new word) with it. Maybe I am just tired. Gosh could that be? Thanks for any input.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

P.S. Other forums on the tapatalk is ok although I wonder if I am on a UK ecf or something.

Not a Tapatalk user, R2, but last I heard, the UK still uses English. And they say we don't... Which I guess is OK, since they invented the language.

Are there different language versions of it? Maybe you installed the wrong one?

LOL. I discovered that had my Open Office program set on New Zealand English by accident. The squiggly underlines weren't working.

If I had long hair I'd definitely be donating it when it got long enough. I look perfectly stupid when I let my hair grow long so I keep it short. I worked with a woman who had the thickest head of hair that grew so fast that she was able to donate every 4-5 years. Wow. I so wish I could do that! GOOD FOR YOU MYRANY!!!

Semi, Would LOVE your Paradise island-and I grew up in the backwoods of Alaska, so most peoples "amenities" are luxuries to me, LOL !!

Nope, still in the good old US of A. Will be leaving for paradise in a few weeks. You would love it there - if you can stand the shortage of world amenities... You can sit on the porch with a cool breeze coming in from the ocean in the morning and watch the sunset from the roof top every night.

Also, if you plant it - it grows and grows and grows. You could sit on the porch and spit watermelon seeds on the ground and in a month you would have a full fledged watermelon patch to garden... Volcanic soil is very rich in nutrients.

OK, hope ya'll don't mind me unwindin' a lil' bit after a couple of intense posts elsewhere in another ECF thread.

My bride and I treat ourselves to 'brunch' (don't pay attention to dat other post of mine 'bout lunch/supper/dinner) after church and/or prior to grocery shoppin'/doc appointments. We go to a lil' cafe with great food and very reasonable prices that pretty much caters to 'mature' munchers.

Earlier dis week I had one of da 'mature' waitresses ask if I was vaping blueberry, in dat I hit my VV Gripper as soon as I get out da door. She was impressed wid da aroma. Come to find out, her son her bought a 'Totally Wicked' eGo kit last Christmas. Besides her vaping being 'harsh', her batts are now inop.

Today I had her take a couple of quick covert hits (she wasn't sure how da management would react) on da BB with a new DT. Just gotta luv da expressions when a tyro gets a great 'hit' with a decent device and a pleasurable joose; wide eyes and a SE grin!

So tomorrow mid-afternoon, I'm droppin' by after closing to let her sample several other flavs and check out her TW kit and nic level. Hopefully, it's just depressed batt contacts or kaput joose devices. If so, I have enough spare eGo batts/whatevermizers to set her up.

Gotta say dat if you're polite, considerate and open wid your vaping, truly rewarding encounters can happen!

Heck, Iffy, you can subtract it from her tips

 

[Rat2chat2]

This is just a test.

 

[Iffy]

... very reasonable prices...

Heck, Iffy, you can subtract it from her tips

<chuckle> And take da chance of being called an ol' skinflint? No way! I tip at least 25% at dat cafe.

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name

BTW, dey don't know me as Iffy... would kinda slow da service, I think...

 

[Rat2chat2]

Hey, not that it really matters......but I got my tapatalk working. Wouldn't you know after google for a ungodly amount of time and joining Tapatalk forum with no success, that I finally found my answer by googling Tapatalk for ecf and it took me to the answer right here on ecf. My gosh I should have looked here first. View attachment 261624

Things like that just bug the dog squeeze out of me so right now I'm am pretty darn happy. Thanks for all those who tried to help me. The funny thing is it is probably something that I will never use but I can't stand not being able to do something. Looks like it would have been easier for me to quit smoking a long time ago. heehee

A big "Thank You" hug to Myrany for helping me tonight, and every other time I've asked for help. View attachment 261632

 

[Iffy]

Where did the "Iffy" come from?

'Iffy' was 'bestowed' upon me after using a more complex and meaningful handle on a guitar site a few years ago. It's short for '2ifbyC'. That's based upon my love of our country's history, my love for the sea and my last initial.

You must of quoted it wrong.

Ummm, no edits on my end... Oh, wait, ya didn't edit your own quote!

This is for all of you Music lovers out there!

Listen to the music this guy makes!

Guy buys a 100-year-old saloon piano for $75 and coaxes magic out of it.

Watch the smiles on his face as he plays.
