Open Mike Night - Everyone is Welcome

You just highlight the edit and copy and paste it between the quote tags.

You have to make sure that is wrapped around it. Easy peasy!

It seems like the last time I tried that I got an error message that basically told me there was no text there, and please add at least one letter! Not sure what I did wrong.

When you go to your reply screen, click on the button at the top that is yellow. When your cursor runs across it, it should say " wrap quotes around selected text". Click on it and the quote tags should come up. Put your cursor in between and paste what you copied. (You may have tried this already. Just trying to help.)

 

[Kay7979]

Ah, my way should have worked, but your way is different and I'll try it next time. I didn't even know about the yellow button! I usually just hit quote and remove whatever text I don't want, leaving the remainder in the brackets. That works fine excpet for the edit line. When I tried to copy the edit line, I did a cut and paste, and inserted the text between the beginning and end quote brackets. That should have worked, but it didn't. Thanks for the tip.

For anyone who is bored today, I'm about to post this week's episode of my trip report. It's a humorous (I hope) ride review of el Rio del Tiempo. While there are references in the episode that will be funnier if you have read the entire report, it should make sense and be interesting even if you haven't read any of the other segments.

aaaaaaah, nabby g., i think "turning the page"...had alot of signifiance-
in keeping the site up front and alive! ,though you made
have nothing to say, it's still a comfort measure for the rest of you!
don't you dare stop ..being you!

me?.....i'm in the part of of my life of apprication, for having so many
blessings bestowed. i was not very educated on the values of disney
cultures..but always been a big supporter of the values taught by the
"dick & jane" era. i am not - of religion organizations due to corruption.
however, i "see" faith is what you believe in...without realizing it at the
time, "my choices" put me into alot of miracles..where i begin to
realized, the pattern-- of wanting to help others and/, caring for those
with needs....enriched my life*= more than i could ever do myself! look!
at me...i am sucessful & had all my dreams come true before i was 30!
it became a "need" to give something in return [esp. those that saw things
in me that i did not]...here the kicker..the more i gave to others , the
more i received! , this is me, a plain and simple guy- with my
share of faults...that survived a few amazing "trials"..* if i can do it..so
can anyone else! do not compare! from those posting here, i see a group
with many blessings and contributing great things in life! [* what life
has taught me..sometimes -- the overlook, insignificant or tiny object
of desire... contains a miracle!] i have wonder "why", many xxxxxx, now
i think when a person believes in the impossible... and extend their true
feeling of caring... happens! heck if this is right? all i know,
is from looking back at some of the things/people that made up my
life adventures. wow! is all i can say!

oh my God! once i woke up on a ordinary day, and my schedule
was to sit back and do nothing......that did not play out
at all! instead i found myself in a "miracle" that was put "together"
over 20 plus years..putting together..me, a mother to be, her
mother , on a collision course...to this day, still mind boggling! we all
met, became a team, and ....and dispeared to have never
seen each other since. that's life...and i am sure you all have similar
stories...some may still be hidden. sometimes, all it takes for a
to happen is for the person just listened! now
looking back...life is a bunch of miracles waiting to happen, but by
choice! in doing so, makes the way we chose to live it out..
very important, indeeds ! death comes to all life, is of great fear,
( i think because we are not able to control)..but is it a
renewal process?... mankind loves the image of "great thinking"
howver, i believe we often "out" think the reality that is..esp.
understanding the B...true meanings..it is much more simplier than
those preaching... ...my parents have gone over 20 years,
yet they had 10 childen with 9 still living..we are "parts" of their
bodies with life. so are they really dead? all of sudden, i realized
there is self realization in being kind to others.


this is who i am, & that's where i am at. plain & simple! iam really into
those "chosing" to live life with family values, and those appricating
kindness. sharing is a reflection of self realization..i know now, if i
am to leave the earth a better place than i found it, i must work on
being a better person! * what i did after my dreams came true? silly,
i dreamed new ones! what i found out when i turned 40.."ok, time to
slow down..take it easy....boy , that was sure wrong. this included
lil'jordan, who gave me enough adventures for a heart attack! so
who knows what going to happened? but when i pass on, i hope
to keave others the gift of happiness inluding my family.
now iam 50, "what next"! is more of my attitude!

Very profound, as always. I think it's safe to say, Lil' G, that you have already inspired others and given them the gift of happiness.

Is she really gone? No way. OMG, who'd a thunk she would really leave? I think I was in denial. That was the longest good bye since Michael Jordan announced he was retiring from basketball. Bill Clinton's State of the Union speeches didn't last that long. Heck, second grade didn't last that long and I did it twice.

After I got home from kids school, I remembered our farrier (horseshoeing guy) was coming. So I quickly ran out to round up the horses and tidy up the barn. Let me just say, I can think of a lot better ways to work up a sweat in a barn, besides throwing 50 lb. bags of feed and shoveling horse by-product. Oh well, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Speaking of which, my border collie decided she would sneak over into the neighbors pasture and round up his cattle because, you know, that's what border collies do.

Except she didn't round them up, she frightened them. So they all took off running in different directions, bellowing their disapproval.

This, in turn, confused said border collie, who decided maybe this "rounding up the cattle thing" wasn't such a good idea.

Much to my chagrin, our neighbor was out in his barn too. I can barely seem him across the pastures, but I yell out "Sorry, for the chaos". He gives me the thumbs up ....Wow, he is so understanding!! Wait, I THINK it was the thumb that was up.

So that's been my exciting afternoon, glad I could share it with you guys. Have a great weekend.

Hi Lil'g

Geez here I thought you were like 90 or something Your a very wise man. Is it your birthday? Attitude you no.....

I miss your little chats when you had a trip report going. How are your boys, Jordan? Bet she has you wrapped around her finger.

[babynurse1]

I'm bent that splash mtn is closed.

I don't think I could go on a Disney Trip without Splash Mtn. I've loved Brer Rabbit ever since I watched "Song of the South" when I was a kid. Please see avatar for further proof.

Everyone is welcome and no one is better then another.

Everyone on Open Mike has always been nice each time I've posted. Thanks guys!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

, nabby g., there are days i feel 90, esp. when i need
my cane...

....now you guys, can understand how my thinking, got me into
trouble?! like the xmas eve we got thrown out of midnight mass!
, patrick was a baby..and had the nerve to cried! some
idiot got up and made..a rude comment. i think you can imagined
the rest of the story...funny, a young man whispered..that was the
best sermon he ever heard..yeah, the preacher was actually making
fun of a homeless person that was feeling sucidal ..and i sorta addressed
that too...needless to say..my wife is a saint...

 

[NAB]

Babynurse I am glad you felt welcome here as it should be.

Lil'g does that mean you became a minister.... I have been trying to figure out what you do for a living....you hint but never tell. I do know you work in the middle of the night because you are on here sometimes or just going to bed. You don't have to answer of course I am just being nosy. Blame it on Kay she started this week....

 

[Kay7979]

Yes, NAB, I seem to have stirred up all kinds of discourse this week. We even learned the "secret of Twinkie's sha!" On top of that, people were pulling out the DIS "family photos." We learned the history of edit line quips.

My googness, it was an eventful week.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Hey everyone.

My bi-monthly post to say .

Hey Marita, Joe, Dre, Crackers, LilG, Celery, UM, Twink, Haley, pumba, Moo, NAB, and the rest of the new "oldtimers" I've forgotten.

Life has been way busy lately. And I've got news. I finally convinced DH that we MUST go to Disney for March Break. It took every little trick in the book, but in the end it was Airtran that convinced him. I scored $59. nonstops to Orlando - granted it's midweek flights, but March break madness the same. So we leave in about 2 weeks

Which means I must get my other TR finished

Hope everyone is doing great.

Kay - for the scrapbook, at the other place their used to be a lot of these hanging around too
And these for Grammy:

Happy Friday!

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

And Kay - I mean't to say that I've been meaning to get over to your TR, but haven't had the time yet.

Too busy on the planning threads but I'm going to subscribe.

Sounds like an excellent read.

 

[NAB]

Hi Yak

Lucky you!!!!!! And the kids don't have to miss any school. It must have been yesterdays snow that did it..... Or the cold snap we have been in.

Yes Kay you are a trouble maker, but we still love ya.

Wonder how UMA is doing. Doesn't look like she got much sleep last night and her hubby wasn't getting any after work. I am like this too. Very little sleep the night before we leave.

 

[Kay7979]

And Kay - I mean't to say that I've been meaning to get over to your TR, but haven't had the time yet.

Too busy on the planning threads but I'm going to subscribe.

Thanks. If you post something soon, you'll be reader # 109. celerystalker already claimed the # 100 spot and got an episode dedication.

Yikes! I'm sorry that I make you cringe when I talk. I promise I will not nag you. Will that be better? (I will save it for my hubby and boys okay? ) I'm actually pretty nice. I kinda have to be since my hubby is a minister. All eyes are on us if you know what I mean.

 

[Kay7979]

NAB, I give up trying to copy an edit post. It just won't let me do it no matter how many yellow buttons I press or quote brackets I use. Grrr.

We leave Sunday morning. I'll be doing my usual rounds of housework, laundry etc. tomorrow, so will be online to bug you guys some more before we go.

I read they have a computer in the lobby at the Marriott resort we're staying at, so maybe I can sneak in a post or two. Unless they charge for it. In which case we're probably too Value Conscious (OK cheap) to use the computer. And if I sneak off too many times to DIS, Lowell will whine that I'm neglecting him again, which would not be a good thing on vacation! It's true, I am glued to this computer! Bad enough I have to be in front of it all day for work, but I'm still here DISing at night. He loves when I go see my mother at the nursing home so he can use the computer.

 

[NAB]

I think I scared Lil'g off

Yes this Dis is an addiction all right. Have been cleaning little come back here, clean a little more....

Kay you really are keeping count of people's post on your trip report. Will there be a #200 post dedication. I will try harder...
