Lucy, I am here, I may not post everyday but I at least peek at the post. I have been so busy. I have been so busy lately just working, then working at home in the yard and painting inside. I have also had some personal issues the last few weeks that have been keeping me occupied. Then my daughter turned 18 yesterday (YIKES) So I spent the day with her after school, walked my legs off looking for a prom dress. The only one we could find was $100 over the budget I gave her. I would cave and go ahead and buy it for for her but she wasn't that excited over it. It is so hard to find a dress between the school's dress code and her own made up rules, can't wear pleats her best friend is wearing pleats, can't wear hot pink anther friend is wearing hot pink. Yellow is totally out of the question......see what I am dealing with here? Hope you are having a good day and save some of that whiskey for me, I need it!!!

Lucy, I check in every day too. I think a lot of people migrated over to Eddie and Jeri's forum but I am dividing my time between both places as well as BGI. This is the first forum I belonged to so I will continue to post here too, its my original home :) Are you a member of the worldofbrugmansia forum?
Shawn

I think a lot of the forums have slowed down recently. The Amaryllis room used to be quite busy as well, but not lately. So I'm not ready to dump the blame entirely on Eddie yet ;-)

I'm spending alot of my free online time at WOB..peeking in here when I can.
Plus its early spring..lotsa folks gettin busy outside! I'm doin that too..speaking of which..I have to go out and check for more leaks in the new raised part of the pond. Seems every time I find where it is leaking, fix it up..wait the cure time, get 'er runnin..a new one pops up..I HATE it! I might just take that part out of the whole thing if it doesnt cooperate soon. I already used almost 3 cans of spray foam on the dang thing! looked like crap b4..now it looks like total crap! ahhh..just needed to vent a lil bit there, lol.

I hope it didn't sound like I was blaming Eddie in a bad way......I love the new forums, I was just saying that is where a lot of people hang out now and maybe Lucy could join there too. :)

Sorry to hear the pond is giving you problems Daniella. The raised part is a preform, right? Maybe you could plug the cracks with foam then put a thin plastic lining or something in there just to help water from dripping out around the foam?

Shawn

Lucy, your EEs are going to look great in that whiskey barrel!

Shawn, I posted once over at Eddie's and will again, but it takes too much of what little time I have, to try to post here and there. My email box has so many unread emails, and I also try to check each day on other favorite sites. It's hard to keep up with so many of them; how do you all do it, LOL! The only times I can log on are pretty much early in the morning for a couple of hours and later in the afternoon.

Daniella, hope you get your pond fixed!

I think people are just busy right now. I have been checking in over there but not usually anybody else there but me when I go, lol. Got everything done and gonna sleep a couple hours. If I can, lol. Thanks for everything Lucy. Call me if you need to ask about anything at the house. Love ya.

I have been busy...but still check in over here too, It's hard to keep up on various forums: for brugs; this site, Eddie's & Jeri's, which I LOVE, and I also registered at KHT's site also/but haven't had the time to hang my hat!!! (I am also on three plumeria forums...whew!!!) So many times I just get a chance to read and not post...OMG...I guess sometimes it would border 'lurker' status!!! :0

I am also on FaceBook...does anyone go on it from here? That's another 'time consuming' computer adventure!!

But...on the good side, most of my available time, outside my daily rat race, has been outdoors enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather working with my plants....SPRING!!!

Thinking about ya'll...

eddie

MJ you brightened my morning lol Just how I feel about this forum. I guess it is because how everyone welcomed me with open arms and how nice, friendly and familiar everything here is.

Of course I KNOW that we are ...ok most of us....are being very very busy outside and if my back would cooperate I think I would be out there even longer and have less time to sit and try to forget the pain lol

Eddie I love your WOB and enjoy the chat especially. But like mentioned so many times...there are only 24 hours a day and sometimes you get more time and sometimes you got to make choices on where you rather be. So THIS feels like home to me like MJ says and I am to old to move permanently lol That YOU got time to chat or post at all is like a miracle to me lol. Do you ever get tired?

Kristy see for me it worked when Eddie posted a message that there will be a chat time we all meet lol

Eloise that is what I am talking about. Not enough time to be in all the great places you would love to be. Heck right now it will take me forever to research

Shawn of course I am a member of WOB and when I have time I do more then lurk here and there lol I guess now I got to become a paying member at BGI . If my memory serves me correctly...there you were not able to search as a guest as much as on ABADS?

Mary good luck finding a dress. WOW 18 years old. The magic number if you are german hahahaha

Wishing everyone a happy, safe and fun day. Inside or out.

Hugs
Lucy

Awww...Lucy...

You have a GREAT DAY yourself!!!!!

((HUGS))

~Mary Jane

I am registered at WOB, but as others have said, I can only do so much. I was forgetting to even lurk over there, until this post came up. Of course, I've been dealing with Laura's illness. This forum does feel like home, and it may take a while to get caught up in another.

Bob

Hey we found a dress!!! She wasn't sure so it is on hold and I have to go pick it up when the store opens!!! I think she really liked the most expensive dress best, did tell her I would buy it but she is a sensible gal. After all she is the one going to London in June and starting college in the fall.....would you believe that I have already had to send in a dorm room deposit? They are starting to call me a shift grubber at work!

Mary Jane, I am on facebook......ok I will admit I am a facebook addict. It is so much fun getting in touch with old friends. My old high school buddies have been getting together about once a month or so. We are having a get together tonight.

Mary

Mary...
I got in touch with a dear very old friend a couple days ago...we grew up together & graduated fro H.S. together...I haven't seen her in over 30 years!!!
It was (is...) pretty cool!!
And...YES!!! FaceBook is addicting, in a good way! So much fun!! It's just in Springtime there is so much to do outside... :) Only 24 hours....I feel like I am staying up later and later at night to keep up with everything!
