Open Mike Night - Everyone is Welcome

[Minnie_Moo]

WOOO HOOOOOTY, Twink! Glad the hospital visit went well.

Last edited by Backstage_Gal : Today at 07:44 PM. Reason: Cheetos are probably not on the WW approved dinner list. But I did see they have 0% trans fat now

You sure don't have to worry about Cheetos calories, Marita!

As far as WW goes, you could work some Cheetos in, depending upon how many points you have for the day and how big the serving is. A whole bag would not be advisable! Thanks for the weight loss Woo Hooty. Two pounds this week - hopefully more next week.

Spongie - LOVED your photos. Especially of the kids consuming Twinkies! Is that a Ding Dong I see in your daughter's hand, though? Or King Don. Or whatever they're calling them these days . . .

Kay, here's how I quote the edit text:

Copy the edit text (Ctrl-C), then go to where you want to place the quote.

Type in

Paste the text (Ctrl-V)

Then type in [/quote}, but replace that } with a ]. I had to show it that way so it wouldn't quote the text in between.

 

[Kay7979]

I use the cut and paste features by right clicking and selecting them rather than using the Control C and V keys, but in any case I have the text between the brackets and it still won't show up. This is the same method as quoting any non- edit line text. I have no problems quoting any regular text. The edit line simply won't show up. It keeps telling me:

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

Maybe it works when I use the quick reply box rather than the regular quote function.

 

[Kay7979]

I DID IT ! I DID IT!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

I DID IT ! I DID IT!

YAY for KAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Kay, maybe what you could do is type the text for what you want to say in first and put the quote in above that. That way it won't think your message is too short. I think I've had to do that before.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Hi MOO!!!!!!!
Congrats to you on your loss!

I got an email at work today that someone wanted to start a WW at work group, and I was tempted to relay the link to Uma's peeps thread, but then I thought better of it. Even thojugh I don't post there, its better to keep things seperate.

 

[Kay7979]

Moo! Where did you get that photo! That is a riot!!!!

I'm headed off to bed. I just read bunnysmum's latest episode. It is GREAT. She is a very talented writer. If you have time tonight, check it out. If not, maybe in the morning.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I agree Marita - probably best not to let your coworkers know that you associate with us!!!

Oh dear, that sounds SO weird. Most people say, "I am so sorry for your loss," with a long face, and they send a sympathy card. Or flowers. It just sounds so weird to say congratulations on your loss!

BUT, I echo the sentiments Congratulations, Moo!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Maybe "congrats on your weight loss" would sound better!

Over on the Peeps thread this week, we had a total loss of over 50 pounds !!! Uma will be thrilled when she finds out!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Moo, silly, not about you guys, just better to keep my privacy.

I got a diversity newsletter in email today, and it had a picture from the event we had last week or so, the one we had to do the poster for. They had a life size Jenga game, so there was a picture of that in the newsletter. One of me coworkers and I are in the picture, watching someone trying to move a brick. and we look soooooooooooo bored, it's really funny. It was good fun, actually , we just look bored in the picture. I tried to post it, but it's in Adobe, so I can't.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

That game and picture sound interesting, Marita! Too bad you can't post it.

I can't find a bored smilie to use here.

Last edited by Kay7979 : Today at 11:00 PM. Reason: Makes no sense but it does work using "quick reply."

No, it works with the regular reply also.

Another way to do it is to copy the edit you want to quote, click on Reply, Paste in the text that you want to quote, then highlight that text and click on the Quote icon at the right of the toolbar above the text window.

But the way that I do it is to copy the text from the edit, click on the Quote button on the post that I want to quote, this will show you the regular text from that post, then highlight all of the text from the regular post and then paste in the edit text.

So with the above quote it would show:

followed by the text from your edit and then the [/qoute]

I intentionally misspelled the /quote so that it would display rather than show the quote box.

When you tried it before did it show the edit text that you were trying to quote in the reply window between the quote code before you clicked on Submit Reply?

few jeff's pb ..full jars! just for me.... ,since i was just

...maybe i can ventually get over my shyness and post a few pics..
of course, lil nabby girl....you saw my crazy gang when i did the tripppie
..probably too shocking ain't we?

yeah ladies! don't forget us..wt. & me! afterall , you need judges
that can be neutral....

* kay girl...this simply my feeling but i rely on them alot....i bet
you have your smile is a mile long and that you have alot more positive
impact then you can imagine.

if i was a tagger [think tigger]...i be visiting you all here! and with my imagination!

okkk,ms backstage.....so you was military brat? germany?...states
side..they're the minute man complexs, titian II missles...aimed
at somebody.. . do you remember the one the blew up
near kansas city...the warhead landed near a farm!

oh, the tigger comment..it was from reading what he person said...

anyoone ry to get away..from the teenager.

hey, anybody want some pb and crackers? they're awful tasty!

clippers...me need to visit this tag girl!

if i ever was a tag fairy...first! the fairy name be changes to
protect my grumpy nature... and no tu-tu or leotards or
any that junk.. out the door!

* maybe a styling "t"-ease, liked..beautiful baby maker/ or good at it!,
or full of delights...or my wife knows heaven cos of lil'old me!
stuff like that, based on reality.

 

[TwinkieMama]

I've noticed that if I get in the bath around 7(ish) when I get out the kids are miraculously in bed already!

Brilliant! I have a feeling that if I tried this trick then I would emerge to a couch full of kids and a DH eating popsicles and watching some great family show like "24"

Well the puppy would be the cheapest but then you would end up having to take care of the puppy as well as your kids (including the big one)

I would vote for the 60" plasma

Your vote is noted and appreciated. Where are the other two wise men?

Oh dear, that sounds SO weird. Most people say, "I am so sorry for your loss," with a long face, and they send a sympathy card. Or flowers. It just sounds so weird to say congratulations on your loss!

Yes Kay- it is even funnier on the WISH thread where "You great big LOSER" is a compliment!


Way to go Moo! I am so proud of you!

Also congrats to SpongeMommie on 300 posts!

Hi babynurse and bunnysmum!

don't asked about the muzzlelaoded the shot a hole in his
wife kitchen flor....we blame the dog!

so now I know why my DH wants a dog... to blame things on....

* maybe a styling "t"-ease, liked..beautiful baby maker/ or good at it!,
or full of delights...or my wife knows heaven cos of lil'old me!
stuff like that, based on reality.

I love your ideas for your own tags....

Good Saturday everyone ~
no time to catch up - long day in court yesterday. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Good morning everyone!

I woke up at the ungodly hour (for me) of 8:45 am today. And there is nothing I have to do today, YAY! Well, except maybe take down the Christmas tree , or take my car for an oilchange....
I first thought it was Sunday, and then realized it is only Saturday, wooohooo!

okkk,ms backstage.....so you was military brat? germany?...states
side..

No, Lil G, not an army brat, I was born and raised in Germany, family still there and all that. I met hubby in my home town where he was stationed.
