I just took my beautiful Thanksgiving siggy down that you made me and put up one of my own.....but since you taught me everything I know about making siggies you can take credit for this one as well. I'm so so so happy to see you here....and ME TOO...I want to know when you can get phone calls again as well. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving .... hugs to all. love, Sue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope when I get a new computer that I'll remember how! hugs, Sue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My computer has been having problems and finally died on me so when I get back from visiting family in Iowa I will be buying a new computer. I'm going to get Photoshop Elements 13 since it works on Windows 8.1. I'll have to learn a new computer and how to use the new graphics software. I hope I remember how to make siggies too. It has been a while since I have made one. Frannie was my teacher too. It is because of her and her beautiful graphics that got me hooked on learning to make siggies. ~HUGS~ Kathy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shamrocked Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Hello my friends, Just stopping by to say hello and I have missed being here. Real Life has taken me away for a while. Like Sue, my old computer is fading and I am learning this iPad stuff. I just managed to change my siggy to this one I made a while back. Haven't been making new siggies much but I still love to create something new. Baby sitting my daughters two girls, ages 4 and 1/2 and 20 months have kept me very busy, and my daughter works part time! They and my other 4 grandkids ages 7 and under keep me going since my Beloved Husband passed away suddenly May 2013. Hope you all are doing well and getting ready for Christmas. I have yet to put up my little tree. Hugs to all, Diane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueJean Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Hello Shamrock - really good to see you here. Your new siggy is spot on. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season with all your family. Hugs Bonnie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueJean Report post Posted December 12, 2014 I sort of knew this but didn’t realize how easily this could happen. Try it yourself with some steel wool it will get your attention BIG TIME!

irish Report post Posted December 14, 2014 YIKES...I didn't know that. Thank you Bonnie. I'm going to check my battery drawer in my garage!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Elissa Report post Posted December 15, 2014 Who knew about those batteries! I have a package of them in my desk drawer. I just checked the junk drawer in the kitchen, and didn't find any loose ones. Thanks for the warning, Bonnie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas gramma Report post Posted December 15, 2014 I had seen that before. I now keep all new batteries in the packages or in approved storage containers. When I throw one out, I just put duct tape over the contacts. That keeps them from sparking even in the garbage. Scary stuff!

discoveringme Report post Posted December 16, 2014 I knew they could be used as a fire starter (intentionally I mean.) My boys showed me that trick coming home from Boy Scouts one evening. I never ever thought about it starting a fire in a drawer though! I just had my hubby check the ones in the junk drawer. All safe and secure. *whew* So glad you posted this! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Elissa Report post Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) We had a very nice Christmas, and I hope you all did too! Things were going great until Bill got the flu! He's on day 4 of a 5-day regimen of Tamiflu, and is feeling better, but he's not completely over it. Erin doesn't feel well, either. She has what appears to be a bad cold. I'm also feeling bad, but I don't think it's the flu, because I don't have fever, just severe sinus congestion, fatigue, and a mild cough. I suspect cedar fever in my case. We'll have a toned-down New Year's Eve here at home with just the three of us. I bought some dips/chips, cheese/crackers, and some champagne. We'll have our traditional movie night where each of us picks a movie for all of us to watch. My pick this year will be Olympus Has Fallen. New Year's Day, I'll cook ham, black eyed peas, sauteed cabbage, and corn bread. Erin's boyfriend was going to come over, but with flu and colds in the house, he's decided to stay home. I don't blame him. Edited December 31, 2014 by Lady Elissa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueJean Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Elissa - the fried cabbage and corn bread sound sooooooo good......so soul satisfying. I would love to know how to "fry" cabbage. Sorry the flu has invaded your home. Hope everyone feels much, much better tomorrow. Happy New Year, everyone - I'm sure we'll all be shouting Happy New Year tomorrow, also!! And the day after.

Lady Elissa Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Bonnie, the cabbage isn't fried. It's sliced in strips and lightly sauteed in butter just until it's softened. It's a traditional Irish dish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueJean Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, Elissa.........I have been cooking fresh spinach that way. Will try some cabbage. Bonnie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irish Report post Posted December 31, 2014 To all my dear sisters and friends~ Elissa, whatever is going around has arrived here on the west coast as well. I woke up Christmas morning at Bryan's with a runny nose.....by the afternoon the scratchy throat hit and by that night I felt horrible. But I soldiered through and came home the following day where I took to my bed for a few days. Starting to feel somewhat better now (thank you Lord) because my daughter Darla and son in law John will be arriving in a couple of hours. I decided this year that after 35 years of hosting the Christmas Eve parties that I was hanging it up..... It was one thing when Dan'l was alive and here to help me and it was just us and the kids and grandkids....but now it's just me and the kids AND the grandkids AND the great grandkids....lol. So anyway, Darla decided that instead of coming down for Christmas, her and John would come down and celebrate New Year's Eve with me and start a new (much quieter) tradition....which I'm all for. Bryan, Toni and the boys will be on their way to Disney Land this evening. Please say a prayer that they make it there safely....they decided to drive instead of fly so it's about an 8 hour drive. Have a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve my sisters!!!! love and hugs, Sue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
