Snazzy new format!

Happy humpty hump day y'all!

I'm up! I'm up!

Oh boy, I love all the new features!!!!

I wanted new smilelys

Well well look at all these new things. I'm up since around 6 am not sure why just couldnt' sleep very well last night. Have been on bed rest the last 2 days because I've been having contractions. Little Khalil is ready to come out but the drs. are trying to keep him in there a bit longer. Seems like I've been to the hospital everyday since the middle of last week and it's getting a big tiresome. I'm ready to give up the contraction stopping meds they have given to me as I'm now entering the 36th week and feel horrible. My stomach hurts and it seems silly to me that if he's ready to come now, to keep putting in all this medicine. Oh well I guess I will have to talk to my dr. at the appointment this afternoon. Youssef got his "Welcome to America" letter yesterday - and has been busily applying for jobs. He wants to go back to Morocco in March so he's decided he better start saving now. Well that's all from here. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

morning! i likey *most* of the new features...

amera - i do hope you can hold on a bit longer without toomuch discomfort. ur really close! i didnt realize you changed the name from Tariq to Khalil!

I think I'm going a little crazy adding friends...

I love the name Khalil Very nice !

g'morning all... i haven't had a chance to check out new features - and it still has to wait til later. just a quick note- I had an emergency last nite w/ my best friend and i'm functioning on 2hrs of sleep and lots of crud last nite. My best friend called at abt 8pm from the EMS ambulance. Her uncle (who is like her father & she is his caretaker and power of attorney) had a heart attack in her home. He was 70 yrs old and not in good health. Her husband is out of town and she had no one else w/ her. I went to meet her at the hospital and stayed thru everything w/ her. He did not make it thru the heart cath and passed at abt 1:30am. I then went to her house w/ her after we did everything we needed to at the hospital and stayed up talking most of the nite. We finally fell asleep around 4:15 am and woke up at 6:45 for work. I wish I could be w/ her today also, but I just can't. I'll go care for her dogs tonite while she picks up the other uncle from the airport and they drive to her sister's house to tell the sister. Sister was in the hospital still from having a baby on Monday and she's going home today. We didn't want to call her last nite - she just didn't need the stress and there was nothing she could do anyway....
It's gonna be a long day.....

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Noura! Take care, Habibty!

Oh Noura! I am so sorry for your friend. I am glad you were there for her. Take care of yourself- she is going to need you.

I haven't had a chance to check out all the new features . . . seems a lot of new stuff or stuff changed places . . . I guess I'll have to explore a bit more now.

I need more smilies too!!!

Good morning everyone. Had a very long morning. Woke up this morning at about 7:20 to my husbands work calling to tell him that he had to deliver a catering order at 9am. He was still in bed when he answered, had to take me to work, and the place is a good 40min away from his work because of traffic. So his morning grogginess got the best of him and he took the frustration out on me and then called his work back and said he wasn't going to take it. His boss just told him to stay home. So, does that mean he's fired? I'm a little confuzzled on that part. But the good news is that after we got ready he decided that he was going to use this day to find a new job. So now he is all dressed up, has his breifcase, resume, and is going job hunting. Yay! To be honest I am glad he is doing that now. I don't think I could have dealt with his moodiness from his current job for another few months. So That's the good news!

I'm at work again. I'm working all day today. I'm supposed to pay my tuition for next semester, but I am not going to be able to do that since they got my amount wrong, I need to drop a course, and I can only pay until 10pm which is the time I get off work tonight. But Adil and I discussed it last night and we realized that it's probably for the best at this point since we have to save to go to Morocco. I'm a little sad about it, but I'll get over it. I'll start in the summer instead.

I really like this new style. It took me so long to learn the other way, hopefully I will be able to figure out this new one.

Have a good day everyone!

Noura, sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure she was really glad you were there for her at this tough time. Could you imagine if she had to deal with it alone?

I like the new features. I didn't know they were going to re-vamp the site! It looks good.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. I have various work issues that are dragging my spirits down, but otherwise, things are good. Man, I wish I had tons of money and could quit my job! Then I look at Amed, and see how hard he works, and I feel bad for even complaining about my job.

Oh well. We're almost fully into our new condo, which is good. Except my dog is not liking it! She's peeing on the floor out of spite while we're at work. I go home every day during lunch and give her a nice long walk, but she still has accidents daily. And I know it's intentional because I've come back in 2 minutes after leaving because I've forgotten something, and she's already piddled on the floor. Anyone have any suggestions on how to break her of this?

Now that is a true friend......

how old is your dog? crating works very well - i was not a big fan of it til i realized how helpful it really can be - and honestly, they don't seem to mind being in the kennels as long as it's big enough & has some creature comforts (bed, toy, etc). good luck.

Anyone want to be friends???

I think Jenn has been very active doing that . . . one of the new features and easy to do.

Find someone's post and click on their profile link on the left hand side . . . it gives you some options of what to do . . . view profile, send msg, add as friend . . . quite easy . . . now we can torture each other at a faster pace, heheheh!



Did you see this?? It is a spoiler . . . I guess the spoiler doesn't work??? hello???
Or maybe it does . . . just not the way I expect.

Can I be your friend?

The spoiler is cool! Why is it called a spoiler though?

Sure!!

Do you see some long black lines that look like something is blocked out?? Those are "spoilers" . . . I thought it would work differently (like click on a link), but if you highlight the line, you can see what it says . . . hmmmmmmmmmmmm!

You can reveal something about a TV show or something, and people who don't want the surprise to be "spoiled" don't have to read it.

I am the coolest person EVER!

And I'm a ROCK star!

I think a lot of people are not going to be getting any work done today with all these new features to learn.

I think you are right!!!

Yes, you are

I just had tomato soup for lunch! Shhh... don't tell anyone.

That's fun... but I don't ever have something to tell that's really going to spoil anything.

And you can add comments when you go to someone's profile too or is that only if you are a "friend"??

OK, I think I can quit playing for awhile today . . . I got my FIRST ,

ok, i'm either not getting it or i'm just having technical difficulties - my brain can't handle much more processing today. I can't seem to get the friend option working!

lol . . . maybe tomorrow will be better when you have had some sleep!!

But try this . . . when you read someone's post, their username is in the upper left hand corner . . . it is a link to their profile same as usual . . . but there is a "down" arrow that allows you quick options . . . one of those options is to add someone as a friend. Is that a better explanation??

IDGT

Ok, don't use the "acronym" option. It sucks.

OMG I LOVE VJ NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I can't add MBP as my friend!!!!

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. I know we have some tired members, take rest and be good to yourselves.


Jackie

Wow I need a few hours to fully appreciate all of these changes.

Have a good one!









Sarah

I'm just about to crash over here. Thank God I came in early this morning...I'm so leaving at 4pm. I feel the same as when I came back from Egypt the last time. Arrived home at 3am and went to work the next morning. Needless to say I didn't get much accomplished. Hmmmm kinda like today

Kara, when you called at 4am, Mohammed was so cute, he said, 'Let me guess---another visa journey interview?'

Jackie
