Morning all,

Salem, thanks about the post in the get well thread. I will have to move to a higher res background the little stuff just won't show up in this one.

For graphics i use corel paint shop pro x3, it is an older version so you can get it real cheap. I paid like $35 a couple months ago because x4 was coming out.

The basic version with cd sent to you.
Amazon.com: Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3: Windows: Software

The ultimate version. I like the extras for 39.49
Amazon.com: Paintshop Photo Pro X3 Ultimate: Windows: Software

You may be able to get it cheaper this was a quick look on amazon. I'm going to find the link i used to buy the x3 and if i find it i'll post it.

Morn...Thanks for the coffee Pokey. I am going to pass on the Dang Oatmeal-never been much of a breakfast eater.

See that you have been in trouble again SC. What are we going to do with you?

Welcome back Gramva. To say you have been missed is an understatement. Looking forward to you sharing your trip experiences.

Thank you for your TT updates Salem. It is so appreciated by many. What an awesome job everyone is doing with TT's Get Well Wishes..

Positive vibes and prayers headed your way TT and Mrs. T. Everyone at the Hardware Store and the Coffee Shop has been asking about you and sends you "Get Well Wishes".

Good Morning everyone. I still have to go back and read all missed posts--but I do see a reference to SC being in jail. What was his offense? Stealing liquor again? I noticed the liquor supply is very low, but I am thinking that is because of all the toasting going one in regards to TT getting better. But I do know SC is tempted whenever he looks in that liquor cabinet.

Toto, I will eat your share of the oatmeal. I love oatmeal---especially loaded with butter, sugar, and real cream. See, I can take even the healthiest of foods and make them unhealthy.

We had a great time on both vacations. I love the north woods, but summers there are too short for me. And I love northern Arkansas also, but tarantulas are not my favorite creatures. So guess I will stick to Illinois (at least until hubs retires, which might never happen.) And where can you live that does not have some negative aspect?

It feels strange and empty to be in TT's house without TT. I sent cyber hugs to him last night when I read about his hospital admittance--I know he has so much love, support, and prayers here. How wonderful to be loved that much. You guys are the best support group EVER. I am proud to be a part of this family. Those posts with his avatar are the funniest things I have read on the forum.

Gonna go back and read all missed posts now. It is either do that or the mound of laundry staring at me---the posts win, hands down. Hope you have a great Tuesday.

Thank you Oly!!
That is the exact program we used to have (talking, back in the dark ages of the 90's). I think we had 20 discs for it, but it was really useful.
I'll go check out the newer version. The price doesn't sound to bad.


GOOD MORNING HOUSEMATES!
Thanks for the oatmeal. It's really good with butter, cinnamon & vodka in it too you know.
Have a great day!

Hey Techno, I never tried Vodka in Oatmeal. Sounds different. I can only eat oatmeal prepared by me. It has to have a dash of milk or cream, real butter, slight Cinnamon sprinkle and splenda to taste. I bought a big container of oatmeal the other day. I wish I liked the packets of oatmeal.

I am back on my second cup of coffee. :) Have a great afternoon. I will be flying around here and there! :)

Ha Sd, I've never actually eaten it with vodka, but I have known people who do. Yuck. Probably good for hangovers?
I like the old fashioned oats best too. It really doesn't take that much longer, and it's so yummy.
I pour loads of sugar on everything though. Anything with enough butter, sugar or salt will taste good to me!

I have mixed vodka in a lot of things...but oatmeal is not one of them. I bet it would be a great day if I did. Not! lol.

I cannot stand the taste of vodka. Long story short....back in the late 70's I participated in a contest. The contest was "Who could drink the most vodka in one sitting'. I won the contest-100 dollars. I was sicker than heck for 3 days. I refer back to that event when someone asks me "Would you like a drink". No thanks....:)

Hi everyone!!! I received my replacement power button today and I am sooooo happy!!! Today was the first part of my SO's custody case and he received temporary custody of the children until December which is great!!! Then the final decision will be made then so we aren't out of the bs yet but we are making progress.

Hi gramva-I see your already wasted on the oatmeal:)
75 that was fast on the replacement! Wishing you and SO good luck. It is a great first step towards full custody!

I'm using it right now and I feel complete!! I was using the 808 and 510 since the power button broke and I wasn't filling "whole". As soon as I took the first drag, I went back to my happy place because I was about to head to the neighbor and ask for a cig. I'm glad it came so fast because I was going to fall off the edge again :(

Great job VJ.

Last night I had scary dreams of his ex coming to snatch the kids from their bedroom and them crying...It was a horrible dream. I was just so nervous about today that bad manifestations followed me in my dreams. One of them wakes up in the middle of the night (ever since she told them she was going to make them come back) screaming about not wanting to go back and it's heartbreaking. But we will be everything in our power (legally of course) to keep them safe, loved and happy. When children are hurting then I am hurting too and I won't be able to rest until they are content.

Howdy, Oly, am pleased to meet you. I am the only one with my old avatar--that is because I am technologically challenged and do not have the faintest idea how to change my avatar to the weird looking little green creature. Also, if I looked like everyone else on this thread, I would not know which posts were mine--I am age challenged also. Thank God for my younger husband or I would still be posting with no avatar. Yes, my world is narrow, but I am serenely happy in it.

And BFF--I am catching up slowly--am up to page 701 now. You all sure do talk a lot.
