Hi Pat! Holy Crap! I saw the picture of your house....I can not believe that happened to you! I'm so glad you and your husband are okay! Yes, I've moved. I've been here about three years now. I've gotten married again...that will be two years in July. I flew for the first time in my life a year ago April to the Virgin Islands...which was AWESOME! I just flew again last month to Ft Myers Beach Florida and I brought my kids with me that time because they had never seen the ocean. We had a great time and I didn't want to come home!  What else? What else?,......Oh Mylee is going to be 5 this September...and Lauren had another baby last August, so I'm a Grammy two times. She had a little boy named Landan who is healthy and happy and gets in to absolutely EVERYTHING and then smiles at you because he thinks he's a funny boy. What else is going on with you?!..... aside from having your house run over |

Bravo on your flights and to such enjoyable destinations. A new grandson! Goodness, you're so young...and that's a good thing! Grandbabies keep you on the move and busy....enjoy every second of that. Can't believe Mylee is 5, time sure passes quickly. Hope she is doing well. We're fine here, the patio will have repairs started this week. Our son and his family are back in Chicago and loving it. They live in the city and just moved to a slightly larger apartment. My grandbabies who didn't want to leave Florida are so enjoying all Chicago and the surrounding areas have to offer. It was soooo nice to see your post. Please don't be a stranger. |

Hi Deb! Thanks....I never really left. I just was checking in from time to time to see what everyone was doing and then the board was gone! I almost started searching thru my email to find you or Joan to ask where everyone went but then I typed in the address and this board came up. Hope all is well with you and the family!

Pat, you're so lucky you live in Florida! We have the crappiest (and sometimes the weirdest) weather here in Chicago. I could not believe that hopping on a plane, within a matter of two hours and twenty minutes I was sitting on a beach in 90 degree weather! I'm serious when I say I didn't want to leave. I sat outside at the resort the last night just watching the ocean and everything around me not wanting to come back to the cold. It was actually storming really bad here the day we left and we were one of the last flights to get out....when we got to Florida we saw on the news that Chicago/O'Hare airport had canceled over 500 flights!! We were so lucky to even be able to leave that morning...they actually boarded us late because they needed clearance due to the lightening!
Anyway, I'll be coming back real soon even if it's only for a weekend. Are you on the gulf side or the Atlantic side of Florida?

I'm right in the middle....  Grew up on the coast in New England and know the peace and tranquility one feels when the surf is lapping at the shore. I know what crappy weather you've had and still have. Frost warning for today? Come back down, there's so much more to Florida than older people... ;D |

Glad you found the new site. This was supposed to be the temporary backup-board, but for better or worse it seems to be official now. Thanks to everyone for their patience while I continue to (slowly) figure out the admin format. Cheers, Dawn |

Dawn - I notice that several of us (including myself) are listed as Moderators on the member list.
Do we need passwords or anything?

Thanks Joan! I appreciate your vote of confidence. Now we'll see if I can earn it. lol!  Raybar, I'm not entirely certain, but I *think* you should be able to see the edit controls on any thread/post you read. For example, if someone got onto the forum and posted spam you should be able to delete that post. On the right hand upper corner of each post there is an Edit button for moderators. Use that. If you don't see it please let me know and I'll try to figure out what you all need to do instead. Cheers, Dawn |

Dawn --
I only get an edit button on my own messages.
On messages from others the buttons are quote, thumbs up, and "gear wheel" (which gives a drop down menu that includes select post, link to post, report post, member, and back to top).

Thanks for letting me know, Raybar. I will check the admin page to see if I need to add permissions to the moderator's section. Slowly but surely. |
