mostly quiet day today; family got together yesterday with balloons, etc. fun day. 🙂
dee, sister had pics of pies she made. told her I had to have copies to show a friend. they’re so perfect they look fake, but the pics came through email HUGE, as in MEGA HUGE. will try to use photobucket to resize and post here, rather than risk blowing up your email. 😐
I’ll see what I can do about getting names; recipes might have to wait til she’s back home in Italy. and no, she didn’t make those here; only had the pictures to show me on her phone and I pounced saying I HAD to have copies of the pics to show a friend who buys butter by crates for all her baking. 😉
dee, ‘crates’ was an obvious exaggeration, but it was you I was referencing. recall you mentioning stocking up on butter when it went on sale prior to holiday baking.
zingy, don’t know if for an occasion or just because she likes doing it.
we’re getting lots of rain; no kind of storm warnings I’m aware of

I guess I was just blind sided by the show & the “photoshop” zombie effects on my friend’s grand kid. Why would you want to make your 4 year old grand babe look like a rotten corpse with blood……………honestly it freaks me out.
Sometimes I wish I could wash out my brain to get rid of the images……….
Whew! Giant post is even bigger on phone. We lost electric. Too cool to have data!
Taking sis to train into city for flight home. I don’t drive to airport and I’m it for transportation today. Was attempting to get google directions to train when power went out. Dh has told me route several times, but last part isn’t sinking in. 🙁
i go old school when we do long drives-wifi is spotty in the mountains
but google maps has this nice feature where it shows traffic and gives alternate routes, not always perfect on small roads but better than just directions
someone posted this on another site deluxe membership is 25% off until june 13 so she bought a yearly for $33.74 which breaks down to a $12.50 earth fawn plus a deluxe account for $21.24
Hello! dh went over instructions AGAIN before I left this morning, so I got sis to train no problem. Even found my way to mall from train. 😯 and power was back on when I got home from mall.
dee, only maps we have are in an atlas; not regular road maps like ol’ timey kind. google maps are nice ’cause of the zooming in feature. wouldn’t trust Siri to direct me out of a paper bag; don’t think she likes me.
any changes in ww I should know about before logging in? why was it down for all those hours? on a Tuesday??? will it be down for maintenance again tomorrow?
yay for getting sis to the train and you getting to the mall (was that by design?)
lol, i tell my honey Siri doesn’t like me either when i use his phone (he has 4S, i don’t). i rely on google (google’s voice command trumps siri for internet searches)
seems it was mostly a server update, not programming update-the only thing i noticed is that nafaria is back (tho that could just be me not staying on long enough to see her before) and jake the pirate/sofia the first are on the log in page.
next programming update should be in 2 weeks (it’s every 3 weeks and we just had one last week).
haven’t been to h&m in a while. love their trendy pieces.
i only know about the every 3 weeks maintenance coz i visit a board that posts the maintenance updates
i saw nafaria on asian, could be why-may not be in euro or asia yet.she pops up around 6 minutes i think. i usually do an employment job then jumble berries and towards the end (depending on how much time i took), i’d see her
save your berries btw-new jumbleberry prizes are supposed to be coming out soon, maybe around berry festival
H&M just opened two story store in mall. found a really nice blouse type shirt-ish sort of top. didn’t try it on, exchanged it next day; smaller size still didn’t fit right. 🙁 so many cute/nice things in the store, but total disappointment the top I liked was cut strange. got one of those to the floor and beyond t-shirty material long skirts. guess you wear those with flip flops and a t shirt to the boardwalk or something. or put on after shower instead of nighty if it’s early. or pull it up over ‘top’ like a tube dress. not.
Nafaria seems to pop up when I get to Jumbleberrys in Arcade. I start with WOW/wishing well/spree/then berries. so tired while doing accts today I might have not noticed if she came out.
Ooo. Maxi dresses/skirts. Gotta check out H&M for that. My hon doesn’t approve (thinks it’s for women 6 feet tall, lol) but they’re nice to lounge in.
I kinda am over Nafaria since I finished 6 accounts and she keeps asking for stars I don’t have (after she’s raided my stars). Love her prizes but when she’s around, Alyssa is stingy and gives cookies/nothing in the star search.
ROLLINGFUR-I was just on webkinzaddictz where WebCats & Lemony mentioned that they miss you and hope you are well.
no luck getting a principal desk yet (congrats on the chair, yay!) and no luck convincing hon to watch downton abbey (he doesn’t like english upstairs/downstairs but he’s ok with pseudo english royalty like game of thrones)
ants with the whole chain can only do 20 something if i use an old netbook but loading WW is dicey on it if this summer megachallenge follows the winter mega then it’ll be an eternity before i see it
might get called back to the kitchen to clean up in a bit just finished dinner (my fav easy 3 ingredient meal-farfalle, broccoli and new york style sausage)

Over snow by winter sown,

Over grass and over stone,

Eyes that fire and sword have seen,
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green,
And trees and hills they long have known.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way,

And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.

Let others follow, if they can!

“To the sea, to the sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling,
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressea, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people forever!â€

I guess I was just blind sided by the show & the “photoshop” zombie effects on my friend’s grand kid. Why would you want to make your 4 year old grand babe look like a rotten corpse with blood……………honestly it freaks me out.

Taking sis to train into city for flight home. I don’t drive to airport and I’m it for transportation today. Was attempting to get google directions to train when power went out. Dh has told me route several times, but last part isn’t sinking in. 🙁

google maps can tell you turn by turn directions verbally from your iphone, gramma

or you can old school it like me gramma and use a paper map
ha ha ha
if you do not have one, look in the yellow pages
(it is a big paper book that they throw on your porch one a year)

i go old school when we do long drives-wifi is spotty in the mountains
but google maps has this nice feature where it shows traffic and gives alternate routes, not always perfect on small roads but better than just directions

deluxe membership is 25% off until june 13
so she bought a yearly for $33.74 which breaks down to a $12.50 earth fawn plus a deluxe account for $21.24

Hello! dh went over instructions AGAIN before I left this morning, so I got sis to train no problem. Even found my way to mall from train. 😯 and power was back on when I got home from mall.
dee, only maps we have are in an atlas; not regular road maps like ol’ timey kind. google maps are nice ’cause of the zooming in feature. wouldn’t trust Siri to direct me out of a paper bag; don’t think she likes me.
any changes in ww I should know about before logging in? why was it down for all those hours? on a Tuesday??? will it be down for maintenance again tomorrow?
66 zingyginger said,
June 11, 2013 @ 3:20 pm
yay for getting sis to the train and you getting to the mall (was that by design?)
lol, i tell my honey Siri doesn’t like me either when i use his phone (he has 4S, i don’t). i rely on google (google’s voice command trumps siri for internet searches)
seems it was mostly a server update, not programming update-the only thing i noticed is that nafaria is back (tho that could just be me not staying on long enough to see her before) and jake the pirate/sofia the first are on the log in page.
next programming update should be in 2 weeks (it’s every 3 weeks and we just had one last week).
67 gramma said,
June 11, 2013 @ 4:00 pm
mall was on purpose ’cause I had a blouse to return to H&M. wasn’t sure I’d be able to find it from where train was; piece of cake…sort of
I lost track of which week updates were falling on. didn’t know about the every 3 week updates. *earth to gramma*
logged in two accts so far and didn’t see Nafaria on either one. 😐
68 zingyginger said,
June 11, 2013 @ 4:23 pm
haven’t been to h&m in a while. love their trendy pieces.
i only know about the every 3 weeks maintenance coz i visit a board that posts the maintenance updates
i saw nafaria on asian, could be why-may not be in euro or asia yet.she pops up around 6 minutes i think. i usually do an employment job then jumble berries and towards the end (depending on how much time i took), i’d see her
save your berries btw-new jumbleberry prizes are supposed to be coming out soon, maybe around berry festival

H&M just opened two story store in mall. found a really nice blouse type shirt-ish sort of top. didn’t try it on, exchanged it next day; smaller size still didn’t fit right. 🙁 so many cute/nice things in the store, but total disappointment the top I liked was cut strange. got one of those to the floor and beyond t-shirty material long skirts. guess you wear those with flip flops and a t shirt to the boardwalk or something. or put on after shower instead of nighty if it’s early. or pull it up over ‘top’ like a tube dress. not.
Nafaria seems to pop up when I get to Jumbleberrys in Arcade. I start with WOW/wishing well/spree/then berries. so tired while doing accts today I might have not noticed if she came out.
no softball games tonight. off to shower. bbl

Ooo. Maxi dresses/skirts. Gotta check out H&M for that. My hon doesn’t approve (thinks it’s for women 6 feet tall, lol) but they’re nice to lounge in.
I kinda am over Nafaria since I finished 6 accounts and she keeps asking for stars I don’t have (after she’s raided my stars). Love her prizes but when she’s around, Alyssa is stingy and gives cookies/nothing in the star search.
ROLLINGFUR-I was just on webkinzaddictz where WebCats & Lemony mentioned that they miss you and hope you are well.

hmm picnic
is that the one where the ant has to get the foods and sneakers and avoid the red guys?
or the one where you get a whole chain?
i think my max is 20 on the first and 24 on the second
79 dee said,

81 zingyginger said,

no luck getting a principal desk yet (congrats on the chair, yay!)
and no luck convincing hon to watch downton abbey (he doesn’t like english upstairs/downstairs but he’s ok with pseudo english royalty like game of thrones)
ants with the whole chain
can only do 20 something if i use an old netbook but loading WW is dicey on it
if this summer megachallenge follows the winter mega then it’ll be an eternity before i see it
