Chat The Day Away!

[aly3360]

HappyCappy: Looks like you guys are working away on the new forum. Arcade button just popped up while I was wandering around the site. Everything seems like it's coming together really well. Thanks for all the hard work and time you guys are putting into it! Can't be easy. Don't know where you find the time! Just wanted to say thank you and that I appreciate it

[WendyLady36]

I know most of you are having probs with the new look but i love it. It is easier and less busy looking and i find it just all around nicer to work with.

Still waiting to see if storms are gonna pop up. My hands have eased off and the swelling has gone down but the rest of me feels like i've been run over by the road runner. I love storms but i hate how my body reacts to them.

Been catching up on my shows today - very annoyed they are leaving us hanging in Private Practice on whether or not Addy choose Sam over Jake! I personally love Jake and so tired/over Sam and his my poop don't stink attitude......maybe i need a life or better hobbies! LOL

[aly3360]

WendyLady36 : I agree with you. The look is awesome. It's so much easier to navigate and find everything and there are tons of new little features that are going to be super helpful. I wasn't so sold on it when the layout first changed, but everything I didn't like has been fixed

I don't watch Private Practice, but I do spent quite a bit of time watching tv. Cliff hangers are the worst. As for other hobbies..I say nay! That might mean you're around here less and we wouldn't want that!!


P.S
Anyone know how to edit your signature?

Trying to switch it to the new win junkie giveaway that just went up. They're giving away 5 $50 starbucks gift cards http://winjunkie.com/c/30/u/vpbhfok

[WendyLady36]

Aly - top right of the page is a setting link - in there click on my signature to edit.

I never use to watch tv til i got sick - now its a big part of my day - if i was left alone with my thoughts too long all h*ll would break loose and i'd end painting polka dots on the walls or something LOL

PS - it really is easy to find things now and it'll keep getting better i am sure :0)

[aly3360]

Wendy - thanks for the help

FYI - The Mom central/walmart twitter party tonight has been postponed. they haven't posted the new date, but i'll let ya know when they do.

Stupid me posted in the contest section only to find out 5 minutes later they'd cancelled lol. ah well.

[WendyLady36]

No worries - got nothing else to do today but the computer so been snooping all over. Ty btw for the links on twitter - i've enter so many contests the last few days it's crazy.

[aly3360]

Wendy - hopefully you get lucky and some wins start coming your way then!

Looks like there's a different twitter party tonight, but it says it starts at 8:00 p.m. MDT which is a little late for me. they're giving away Four (4) $100 Visa Gift Cards and One (1) $500 Visa Gift Card. You have to RSVP for this one though.

RSVP: http://www.linkytools.com/wordpress_...118&type=basic

Details: http://blogwest.ca/?page_id=463

[WendyLady36]

Hmmmm ok i think i might have rsvp'ed this one already - sheesh i can't even keep track anymore .

[aly3360]

I'd say that was a pretty darn good twitter party tonight!! ....buuut I guess i'm a little biased lol.

sure makes me want to get back into blogging. not that I have much worth saying....but hey. haha

[WendyLady36]

It was crazy fast and i have no idea if i did it right or what. How do they decide who won? Is it random ?

[Ljaned]

Did you win Aly3360?

Man miss a day or too and the site changes I will have to spend so time seeing all the new changes. They look good. Those working on it should be proud!

Weather changing again snow forecasted for Friday ahhhhh! Heading to Drumheller to visit the Dino's with the family tomorrow.

[aly3360]

Wendy: They sure do move fast!! It looks like you were doing it right though! The most important thing is to make sure the hash tag is in every tweet you tweet.

Yea the prize draws are random. I'm no sure if they picked from the RSVP list or if they just picked random tweets this time. Some parties do it one way some do it the other.

I've never held a party so I don't know for sure how they do it though.

And yes I won - a $100 visa

That makes 2 wins this month and both from twitter parties lol

[WendyLady36]

WTG Aly!

I used the tweetchat thingy they posted about before the start of it to keep up and i still struggled! I thought for sure i'd walk away from it with a headache as it moved soo fast but i'm just sore from sitting.

The blogger comp is pretty cool. I have a blog but i use it more as an online diary of the fight with my health and its not very big or public to everyone. I wonder if CFS will enter tho? I'd totally support them if they decided to enter as i come here more that any of the other coupon blogs.


Ljaned - hope you have a wonderful trip with the fam!

[aly3360]

Tweet chat is good, but I like tweet grid myself. Tweet grid lets you follow a bunch of things in the same window. so you can watch all tweets that pop up with the hash tag, you can watch all tweets the hosts tweet and you can watch everything that's tweeted to you.

I had a blog, but I only used it for contesting and reviewing products. When I went back to school it was too much to keep up with so I stopped, but if I ever started it back up again I think I'd want it to be a lot more personal. I just didn't have a whole lot to say out side of the reviews and the giveaways it seemed. :/

[WendyLady36]

I didn't even consider blogging when it first came out - felt the same like i had nothing interesting to say. Since getting sick over 6 yrs ago there is a lot to say, a lot to complain about and a lot that needs to be done about our health system. I started the blog to get things out so i didn't bottle them up and take it out on my family. Also to give myself a place where i could go and talk with ppl who understood what it is like to be in pain all the time and how much that robs you of who you use to be.

It helps but i don't think i want just anyone reading my most horrible thoughts or how bad my life has gotten - it's too personal.

I gotta get in bed here otherwise tomorrow will be bad - i've sat way too long today and i'm regretting it.

Hope you have a great night there you big twitter winner!

[aly3360]

Whew I'm so sleepy already and the day isn't even half way over. Think I'll try for a nap before the in laws get here. They're not staying long - just a few hours, but I don't want to sleep through their visit. (done that before...they weren't so impressed lol)

Went for a job interview today. Seemed to go quite well so here's crossing my fingers.

Hope everyone is having a good day so far!

[chicky82]

Fingers crossed for you Aly
It's a nice day today, sunny and not too warm. We are making progress on our move, 13 days! Thinking of going away for the weekend before the chaos starts but we might just go visit relatives for a day and enjoy the weather.
The hummingbirds came back and I felt bad that I'm not putting the feeder out for them (due to the move) but at least there are lots of flowers and bugs around for them, I'm hoping that there are some to feed at the new place.
Have a good day everyone

[WendyLady36]

Morning ladies.

That twitter party did me in! LOL Not sure if i'll try another late night one again as the headache started at 11pm and i wasn't able to get to sleep til 4am and still have the headache this morning. Who knew couponing was such hard work!?!

No big plans - gonna try to do what i can on the point sites and get house sorted and hopefully call it a day.

Hope everyone has a great day!

[fun2b]

Hello everyone!! Seems like so long since I've been here. Boy, the new forum looks FANTASTIC!! I love it.

It's another gorgeous day here. Warm and sunny. Lovin' this weather.

[WendyLady36]

Evening!

How's everyones day been? Anyone get any good news or good coupons today? Haven't found too much today myself but still waiting and hoping Lysol comes out today.

Haven't done much here - took quite awhile to shake the cobwebs and get moving. Did spend 20 mins or so outside weeding and it was cool but not bad. Rains are suppose to start tonight and go til sometimes tomorrow so thinking tomorrow will be a good baking day for me. Now to find something interesting and new to try out!

Well gonna go back to trolling fb feeds and seeing whats shaking. Have a good evening!
