Hi Gang! Looks like it's true confessions time here at the Christmas in July thread. Yep, I have a few today. I went fun shopping this morning, as opposed to groceries etc. I've passed this little shop that opened on the way to the shopping center, and finally stopped today.

I found a terrific barn star, done in rust type finish, 24 inch size that I love. I've been looking for the right one for at least a year. They had an adorable little blue glazed door with a berry spray attached to the front,( about 6x10 inches) with a big star cut out, for the upstairs hallway, and two nice, very full, very pretty berry branch spray bunches with berries in a maroonish (?) color that will be able to stay out all year. They're sizable, in that they'll fit any large pitcher or vase and the price was terrific too.

I don't know exactly what got into me this morning, but while I was out, I stopped to pick up an additional bathroom carpet for the downstairs bathroom. Waiting in line to check out, (this wasn't the great little shop, that was next ), there was only 1 checker, and at least 12 of us in line. Everyone was smiley though, and in good spirits, but I wanted to get done and move on to the "good shopping" !

So all of a sudden, I figure I'll get someone's attention to come and wait on us, and I called out, loudly, "CHECK OUT IN AISLE 5!!!!!!" The whole line of people were in shock, and just laughing while I looked around pretending it wasn't me!!! LOL In less than a minute 2 other registers plus jewelry opened up, and we moved right along after that. They opened register 6, which ajoined number 5, and I said,"See, next time you won't doubt me!"....

I laugh just thinking about it as it's so out of my character. I'm such a wallflower most of the time... but hanging around the boards has brought out my more....expressive side? Anyhoo, had to share this story. Congratulations if you got to the end! It got a little wordy! pinky

pinky ann, you're a girl after my own heart. I would love to have been there when you yelled out. Things like that are so funny but it worked well too. You go, girl!

Here I am, exhausted after trying to learn how to post a picture. As it turns out, it is a different process, so I posted a picture, and it repeated six times, lol.

mousiegirl,I saw a thread over on Among Friends about posting pictures. You don't need Photobucket or any of that anymore. Maybe that thread can help? I'm planning to check it out in the next few days, and try it myself.

Lucy, It was so funny! I crack up everytime I think about !!! I see more episodes like that in my future I think... So much fun, and I didn't even think, just yelled.. I was hoping you'd see the thread. Better if you'd been there, we'd both have been hysterical! lolol pinky.

pinky ann, I figured it out with help from birdmama and other posters. I copied, went to the place I wanted to post the picture, held down the control key and the V key at the same time, and viola, the picture appeared, only problem is, I held the keys down too long and the picture posted six times! lol

I am thrilled about being able to post pictures from my computer instead of going to photobucket, so as soon as this board straightens out, I will be a picture posting fool.

Hi mousiegirl, I kept clicking on the picture but it didn't give me any options to browse my pictures but it finally did. This new format is going to drive us all crazy, I think. Don't give up though. lol

Oh, I'm laughing just reading about it, I'd been hysterical if I was with you. You've got me wondering if it would work at Walmart. :-) Isn't it a great feeling to act on your feelings sometimes? I'm sure those in line were wishing they had said that. Good for you.

Lucymo, yesterday I did give up, but I was back today to thrash my way through this forest, one day at a time, lol.

Yes, hang in there. I'm so used to you and some others that it wouldn't be fun here without you. We'll get the hang of it and hopefully, they'll give us back some of the features that we're all missing now. We've got a lot of good times coming up so we'll be ready by then.

pinky ann · ‎08-09-2013

mousiegirl, I'm so glad you had help with posting pictures, and were successful in doing so. I'm going to try your method, and see if it will work for me. These changes will be easier to navigate every day. Stick with us, and don't miss any of the fun! pinky

Lucy, I think my "method" of getting help would work just fine in Walmart. I was in Kmart when I tested it out... I'm glad to see more picture posting instructions posted by mousiegirl, as I'd love to be able to post them myself. See you later! pinky
