LOL. Your post was so funny! I could hear the frustration punctuating every sentence. ;-)

Sorry, didn't mean to laugh at your frustrating experience trying to get on FR yesterday. As they say, I was laughing with you, not at you. ;-)

We've all had those frustrating times and usually can later look back on them and smile, if not laugh. We are all so hopeless addicted to this place and we need our FRiends here! So, I am laughing in sympathy. LOL

You could use a hug, I think....

Good morning! In response to your post last night night, I'd fallen asleep.

[jaycee]

Oh my goodness, I knew exactly what you meant. It is frustrating and we don’t know until we get blocked out..LOL.
There are times we need to take time off but we like to pick the time, don’t we?

The Mayor said it was hard not to have ‘temper tantrums’ when our puters don’t work correctly.

Hugs are good anytime! We would die without them..right?

One thing I did do was check out the boots on a couple of sites last night. Saw some cute ones.

[jaycee]

How cute....I have missed your making me laugh, L. J. And if I don’t start getting ready, I am going to be late. You see, I am addicted!

Good Morning everyone! It’s Friday! What happened to the week?!!!!

Lady Jag that is the cutest foot!

Hope you all are doing well. Hubby is working on a plumbing project. Need I say more about the “state of things in our household”!! LOL
No hot water! Doing the “ Little House in the Prairie” method. Heating it on the stove!

Children are still out of school until next Monday. I am looking forward to getting back to a normal routine!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Just Amy: had a pedicure last week when visiting my family in NC. They had a massage chair while you had your feet soaked.

Awesome! Treat yourselves sometimes....smooth feets!

LOL

Happy Friday, hang in there. God is in charge!! Thank goodness.

[MEG33]

You have a lovely day!

Happy Friday, Amy - I’m wearing red to support the troops! I’ll post First Lady Laura Bush when I get home this evening.

Geraniums are the deepest red
and for us they will pose
but do not pick one from it's bed
 and put it to your nose
 IF it's a pleasant smell you seek
the wrong one you have chose
to breath one in that does not reek
you can't go wrong with Rose.
