  1. The kiss was different than I thought it would be. I was picturing a formal kiss, and instead it was just a quick turn of the head for a short peck....it was sweet, and seemed more personal, but I kind of missed having a formal wedding kiss like we do.
  2. Yeah the commentary stopped pnce the wedding started....loving the hats!!! William looks a lot like Prince Philip I think.
  3. Haha yeah, the lace arms are like my mom's dress in 80, lol
  4. I was surprised by the dress too, but its nice that its not something trendy. I loved all of the trinity references...very cool.
  5. Very gorgeous! Did it seem like no one knew the words to that song? Lol...the trees are cool.
  6. PBS??? I just turned it thete and it was an exercise show??? I could do with less commentary!
  7. I'm up with 2 of my kids! We didn't get up until 5:15 and didn't miss anything!
  8. :iagree: with your :confused: I don't see it. And I wouldn't have even known that chapter would be controversial if you hadn't posted, so maybe it won't occur to the other women in the study!
  9. Ok, I skipped ahead and read it........I thought it was beautiful. I can see why some people wouldn't like it, but I thought it was an apt metaphor. It was a tad personal, but it's inspiring to see someone able to be that fully connected with God. I think some of it might have to do with what your spiritual personality is, and so I think her style of worship isn't going to appeal to some people. I do agree with everything Janie Grace said, and the thing that drives me batty with her blog is the bolded sentence, which seems to be every other sentence. You shouldn't have to do that to make your point. So it was nice reading the book without any bolding. And I have noticed copycat blogs doing the same thing, which is really, very annoying.
  10. I'm only halfway thru but am loving it....now I'm tempted to skip ahead :D
  11. Oh!!!!!! I found it! I figured it out!!! If you click on the Privacy Settings, I automatically go down to the 'customize settings' at the bottom. But that is only for Sharing on Facebook. At the top, there is a separate privacy setting for Connecting on Facebook, and then you have to customize See your likes, activities and other connections. Too bad I already unfriended her, and I'm not refriending her, b/c then she'll get that request :lol: But if anyone else is wondering, that's how!
  12. but she's not, which is what makes it so annoying. that is the answer! But I just unfriended her, ha, so I guess that's meaningless now. I might still do that tho....drives me nuts that C has a public wall :tongue_smilie:
  13. :D:D:D yes, trying to be nice and keep the peace. My 2 BIL's have already unfriended her. I think I might have to do the same. :tongue_smilie::tongue_smilie::tongue_smilie:
  14. :iagree: I find I work way better under pressure, and so I usually end up under pressure. If it's something huge that takes a lot of time, like doing a holiday dinner for a big family or something, then I schedule it out and spread it out over a few days. But then those days are still pressured, so I still get stuff done.
  15. I just did, just to see, and none of my posts come up, b/c she can't see my wall. What I respond to on Person C's wall has to be coming up in her newsfeed, and I don't see a way to block that, without completely unfriending her, so I don't even show up in her newsfeed. MIL's should just know their FB boundaries. If you don't know a person, why would you respond to a wall post, just b/c your DIL wrote on it???? URGH!!!!!!!!!
  16. Right, but B is not technologically advanced enough to just search for his name to see what interesting things are posted on the wall. B is only seeing it because it comes up in her news feed. That's the only thing B knows about facebook, is news feed. I have custom privacy settings for B so she can see my info and some photos, but not my wall or anything. I just hate that if I post on a person's public wall, that it automatically is coming up on her newsfeed. I might have to just unfriend her :tongue_smilie:
  17. Since FB changed some of their privacy stuff awhile ago, I'm having an issue and I can't figure out if there is a way to stop it. If I post on Person A's wall, and Person A has their profile set to private, only mutual friends can see what I post. If I post on Person B's wall, and Person B has their profile set to public, then anyone in the facebook world can see what I post. Now, if I have my wall blocked to Person C, somehow Person C is still able to see what I post on Person B's wall, even though Person C is not a mutual friend. And Person C (aka MIL) posts on Person B's posts that I post on, and it's driving me crazy. How do I make it so Person C can't see what I post on Person B's wall? Do I have to completely block my profile from Person C? My Wall and everything except some photos are blocked from Person C. I don't understand how my comments are showing up on her news feed, which is the only way I can figure out that she's seeing what I'm posting. And Person B knows his profile is public, and has it that way intentionally.
  18. :iagree: And, I never trust the positive reviews if they are over-positive b/c I know companies hire people to write good reviews for their products. Average and negative reviews help give an accurate picture.
  19. I had to delete Pandora...it buffered too much. I found the one I have in the market; it's called Android Music. It's pretty basic, but it plays the music/podcasts I have loaded.
  20. Doesn't it already have something on there to make it an mp3 player? Mine has a Music program that was preloaded on it.
  21. that's not a bad idea. I do that at christmas; no reason I couldn't keep a running wish list of books for her. Hopefully DH can just take this one for me, LOL. me too.....and that's usually what I do, so now the issue always is, they ask DH why I don't like them :tongue_smilie::tongue_smilie: gotta love the in-laws. At least she loves the kids so I'm grateful for that. It could be worse!
  22. Oh that's awesome. My oldest still wets the bed if we don't get her up at night, and wears pull-ups when she spends the nights places, but is so self-conscious about it, b/c they 'make crinkly noises'. I'll have to get some of those liners.
  23. That is awesome. We're getting ready to go on vacation and it's going to be 12 hours the first day, and then shorter stretches the rest of the way, and I've been dreading the ornery kids part of the trip. I am so using this!
  24. Manipulative, yes, but out of love. She is Marie from Everybody Love Ray. I thought about doing that with dd when she is a couple of years older, and talk with her about it, and read a couple other history books at the same time and compare it all. But she's not ready for that yet. Yes, and I haven't yet....I kind of have an issue with pledging allegiance to anything other than God, but I know most people would have a cow if the kids didn't know it, so I just don't bring it up, lol. My MIL tries to teach it to them every once in awhile. Yeah, it was, and we all said thank you....but when it comes out that I won't let the kids read it, and she'll ask b/c my ds loves history, then it's going to turn into this huge kerfuffle because we don't agree with her. And since she thinks some of this stuff so strongly, she thinks we're not doing our jobs as parents if we're not teaching our kids some of this, and so she thinks she has the responsibility to teach it to our kids. I forget her exact wording, but awhile ago she said something like 'if the parents aren't teaching the kids what they need spiritually, then it's the grandparents job to step in and do it'. Um, no :tongue_smilie: We've had a few issues over this kind of thing in the past. It's so frustrating when you believe something different than your family. And we're still under the grouping 'Christian'. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be an entirely different religion, or no religion, than your family.
