If Disqus Falls, the Contingent Plan. C_K

Image
Hey all! I've been having issues with my laptop and got tired of fighting with it to stay connected to the internet (it stays connected to Wi-fi just fine but loses internet) so I've just taken a few days break. I got back on this morning to find an email from Snowy about Disqus having issues again. Back in October, Disqus was having issues and I was able to find another commenting platform,  https://intensedebate.com/logmein I recommend bookmarking the site! Should Disqus continue to have major issues or if we decide to go ahead and change platforms, you'll already have it bookmarked. I'd also recommend bookmarking both Snowy's and this blog as I don't think there is a way to 'tag' people with Intense Debate as there is with Disqus (at least I haven't figured that part out yet, if there is a way). Anyway, I do have another blog that I had set up for testing commenting platforms and Intense Debate is what's installed on it. So th...

The Last Friday of 2019! ... 12/27/2019 C_K

Image
It's finally Friday! Did this week seem super long to anyone else or was it just  me 👀? I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm so glad to be through the holiday season. My feet are still throbbing from 2 days of cooking and I was so tired when it came time to actually eat Christmas dinner that I didn't even eat! Now, the only thing left to do is taking down the decorations but mehhh, they can wait a day or two. I'm still dead on my feet lol! Yet here we are, it's the LAST Friday of 2019! 2 Days after Christmas and merely 4 days from the start of a brand new year! I'm looking forward to the new year but then again, it's scary too! My family and I have a lot to consider and could very well be moving with the time frame being in a week or two or possibly a month or two. So much is up in the air right now and I'm one of those that doesn't handle change very well. But it is what it is, we'll do what's best for our future...

Friday Music Thread, Christmas Themed for Those That Want 😁 12/20/2019 C_K

Image
Hi peeps! I know I'm super late in posting the normal Friday thread but it's been a busy morning, not helped by a mind that won't slow down lol. Since we are merely days away from Christmas, I thought maybe we could change it up a little today. Post your favorite Christmas songs, memes, gifs, whatever makes you happy! Share one of your favorite Christmas memories if you'd like. Of course you can post something that's not Christmas related too! As an uncle of mine seems to always say, "it's like your drawers, it's up to you!". For those that don't understand southern lingo, 'drawers' in this sense is underwear 👀 So let's spread some Christmas cheer! **While I'd rather not post a reminder, I will because the moment I don't someone will take that as a green light and post something that doesn't need to be said then blame me for not being specific. Please don't be a Grinch! Keep in mind that w...

What To Do Wednesday! Music/Open Thread - 12/18/2019 C_K

Image
Here we are, half way through the week again! I want to thank those that were so kind and that helped lift me up after my 'rant' thread and to thank Snowy. While I didn't intend on sending out invites to that thread, Snowy knew I needed more than just typing it out to get it out of my system. It truly meant a lot! So let's have some fun! Share your favorite music, comedy skits, funny memes or gifs or simply share a funny story, anything you choose! I've shared a picture or two of my Lilly-Belle. She's our 90 lb fur-baby. I had been wanting a pit bull for so long and for some reason, out of all of the dogs I'd come across for adoption, none 'clicked' with me. One day I was scrolling through my feed on FaceBook and I came across a post that a friend had shared from a local high kill shelter and it was a picture of Lilly. I don't know what but something told me when I saw her picture that THAT was MY dog! I didn't want to ca...

Geez, What a Weekend... C_K

Image
I'm not going to send out 'invites' for this one, I doubt people really want to hear/read about it but I need to get it out of my system. My nerves have been shredded this weekend and I literally have no one outside of these 4 walls to talk to.  I'm here everyday taking care of everyone and the house, I answer my husbands phone call every evening when he gets off of work and I ask him about his day and I let him bitch and moan to get it out of his system so that his bad mood isn't brought home to me or the kids.  I'm also the sounding board for our oldest daughter and her frustrations with work or with a professor that she emailed (she takes online classes) that hasn't responded to her in several days or one that's responded but somehow entirely skipped actually answering her question. On top of that I take care of our Little Man and deal with any issues that our middle daughter has with school or keeping up with appointments and making ...

Some Friday Fun! Whatever Thread! - 12/13/2019 C_K

Image
We've made it to Friday!!! Whew what a week it's been so far! I attempted to get back on yesterday when Little Man was put down for his nap but I ended up being stuck on the phone between the school and my daughter's old doctor's office trying to get her attendance crap sorted out. Either my daughter hasn't turned in the notes from either myself or the doctor if she'd been there or her teacher misplaced them and they didn't get sent to the lady at the school that handles attendance. It had gotten to the point that enough 'unexcused' absences had happened and legal action could have happened (although letters and/or doctor notes were sent). Attendance lady had 3 days listed as unexcused though that my daughter actually went to school and I was called half way through the day to pick her up because and I quote, "her coughing is interfering with my ability to teach class". Got that straightened out then spent around 2 hours ba...

Hump Day! Music, Open Chat, Whatever Thread! - 12/11/2019 C_K

Image
Howdy all! I hope everyone is doing well and having a good week! Things have been absolutely crazy around here! I switched our middle daughter's doctor to the doctor I see and after her second appointment with him, he wants her tonsils removed A.S.A.P. Initially he was ok waiting until summer when school was out, after her appointment last week though he's decided that if he can get it worked out to have it done over the Christmas holiday that would be even better. **Sigh** So we have her first appointment today with the E.N.T. specialist which could very well be her only appointment before a date is set for surgery. I'm not looking forward to it. I've never had one of my kids end up 'under the knife' for anything and trying to keep things upbeat and lighthearted to keep our daughter's fears and anxieties at bay has been really hard considering my nerves are being shredded with every passing day. I know the surgery is for her benefit a...

Wacky Wednesday / Hump Day! You Know the Drill! 12/02/2019 C_K

Image
Happy Hump Day people! I do hope everyone is doing well! I would apologize for my absence but sadly, it will probably get worse throughout the month. Like everyone else, this time of year gets real busy but I also get the added 'fun' of dealing with seasonal/holiday related depression and I don't want to bring anyone else down during what should be a fun time of the year. I miss both of my parents of course, but my dad, losing him left a wound that just won't heal. My dad was the glue that held everyone and everything together and this was his favorite time of the year. Growing up in an extremely tight knit family (on my dad's side) meant so much but then sometimes you grow up only to realize that almost all of the people you looked up to for so long are faker than a 3 dollar bill and you have to walk away from them all to keep your sanity and your beliefs in tact. It makes things hard. Anyway, enough of that... shame on me! Let's have some fun!...
