Thank you all for such warm welcomes! I'm not too savvy with this..and am unsure of how to respond so that it will read correctly....my posts are standing alone...should be more in conversation mode, but I don't know how to do it ....
Don't worry. It took all of us a while to catch on. Others more tech savvy than I can help you with an avatar (picture) and other stuff.

Yeah Carrie's good at that...she helped alot of us learn how to do that

Neenay, I know exactly what you are talking about because it happens to me all the time. I get on the board maybe a couple of hours after most of the others, so when I respond to something that has been said it was awhile ago. Eventually, the others will get my response, but they may have signed off already by the time I catch up to them. So, if you want to talk conversationally, it is best to scroll down to see where people are, note the time, and then jump in. The disadvantage is you may not realize exactly what they have been talking about. To complicate things, we are in different time zones -- not all of us, but I am in CST whereas others live on the east or west coast. Others may have a better explanation for you, but I hope this helps.

Ditto to all that, CEK. Together Forever -- I can just see that engraved in a wedding ring. Oh, slap me -- I can't help it! Love all you sisters.

LOL...oh that would be awesome on wedding rings

Yes--awesome on wedding rings but also as a motto for our Sisterhood of the Traveling Message Board!! Thanks for your comments, CEK. You rock!

I'll hold the other hand--and I agree he is OUR bone-head!!! LOL
LOL...yes he is "ours" and he is a good guy....and i will always "listen to Maks"

Truthfully I will also always listen to Maks until we have confirmed evidence to believe otherwise.

Well things are quiet on Tumblr and twitter this morning...thank goodness!!!
The only thing that I am sorry for is all the bad talking and name calling to both Maks and Devin...neigher one of them deserve and then the people tweet this stuff to Meryl and Maks and the "family"...I think this is totally uncalled for, hurtful and very inmature...
Take a step back and remember how upset we were on the ABC board with the name calling...it just isn't right and thank goodness we have not stooped that low...we are a positive group even when there doesn't seem to be anything positive

Ok I am gonna leave for a bit...going to clean my laundry room for the arrival of my new "fancy very basic" washer and dryer...YAY now it won't take me three cycles to dry a load of clothes...I can see my electric meter just spinning everytime I turn the old dryer on....

Have a good Sunday and I will check back in later and see everyone tonight...
HUGS

Don't worry! I did too and still do. Someone else had to do my avatar -- either Cassidy or Carrie!

Mine too!! Many of us are tech challenged on this board but there are a lot of helpers for which we are eternally grateful!!! LOL

You know, that is exactly right, April. And it is very hard to think that others can shore you up when you have been the one others have depended on your whole life. It is a cross to bear, really.
don't get me wrong i don't think he's any kind of toutured soul or any thing....i just think after awhile that kind of negativity would get to anyone

I also don't think Maks is a tortured soul but i do think he takes his role in the family very seriously--and he often uses the words "a lot of responsibility", which shows that he lives it. I admire that--and it is very grounding.

I agree jet...his family is very important and he takes a lot of responsibility for them on his self I do believe...he is a provider and as meryl says very giving and nuturing...and with his parents he is as you say very grounded...what we see of him and what his family sees of him is two totally different people I am sure...

No Neenay don't feel like that I just got my first smart phone a week ago and just found out how to turn it off...the manual is only 162 pages...OMG You will do fine we all help each other!!!

Hey Annie! No, I wasn't aware of nene's alter-ego- LOL! Neenay is what little ones in my family have called me, because they couldn't say my name - it stuck!
I love it -- are these your grandchildren? I have often thought of making a list of the names that grandparents are called.
In an interview with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood, Maks told him of the different names he and Kirstie Alley called each other. One of the names that Maks called her was "G". Billy said, "Why did you call her that" and Maks said that it stood for Grandma! LOL

No grandchildren just yet, Annie - I have one son who just recently graduated from college - so, I'm still waiting! I think it's safe to say they'll call me Neenay when they arrive!! and yes, I had heard that Maks called Kirstie "G" .....hysterical!!!

Funny how you become whatever they call you. Our first 4 grandkids are all close in age. The (lone) grandson (#3) tagged me DiDi when he was just beginning to try to talk (about 1+yrs.). I think what came out after he heard my husband call me by my first name--but it stuck and I love it because it is different. In your case, you already have the name and can call yourself that to the grandchildren, which works too!! LOL

I finished watching Dirty Dancing today -- didn't see it when it came out in 1987, if you can believe that -- and I'm going to contact Kenny Ortega about a remake using Maks and Meryl. I did a little research and found that Patrick Swayze was 35 when he did the film and Jennifer Grey was 27! So, the ages fit, and I think we need a remake just so M&M will have a project together! I can't wait to see it. I think the acting would be great. Of course, I have to cast the other parts too -- forget about a casting director.

Go, Annie! You have quite a career ahead of you as an author of romantic novels--called MnM Serendipitous Romance Novels!!! LOL
