AMJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hmm, reading the old posts in the thread is fun, at least until I got to where I started the spin-off thread. I was having fun reading that, too, until I read again how someone wished my spin-off thread out of existence. It died two posts later. :crying: *sniffle sniffle* It was a FUN spin-off thread, too.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The boys are blasting through the school day again. And I finished my housekeeping. The clothes are in the dryer. All the dishes are put away, and the used ones waiting to be put in after lunch. An afternoon of writing awaits. :001_smile: I just set my camp goal for 60 hours editing in the month of April. That's the first time I've been able to set an hourly goal and not a word goal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm posting just to up my post count. I've been a member here so long, it's a shame I only have almost 900 post. It should be closer to 20,000. I'm a slacker. You may deduct points for that if necessary. Less than 2 years ago Renai was worried about her post count.

AMJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 And, I don't think this thread should end until there are at least 600 posts on here. So get busy! Done! But we ain't anywhere near finished yet! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok. I'm at 900 posts now. Time for me to start working again. I actually work from home, which can be good and bad. Seeing how I'm on here instead of working, this would count as bad. Hope to see y'all later tonight. I promise to resurrect this thread if it does, indeed, die. She was ready, just in case!

AMJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So. What does he say now, AMJ? :laugh: Right now he is at work, or he would ask me why I'm reading the thread from the start again (and then tell me never mind, he got it -- thread birthday). Sometimes he asks about how people on the thread are doing -- general inquiries, just checking in. Kind of like asking your child about their imaginary friend(s), but knowing someone is really on the other end. I think he is both perpetually bemused and amused by ITT. :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 :svengo: Out of likes! The likes will come back, tomorrow.... I gotta go edit. I'm searching around for a good online punctuation checker, and have concluded that such an animal does not exist. As redundant as it may be, I simply must bite the bullet, go over the editor's comments on my short story, and defend every comma. Truly, I do misuse them. Truly, proofreading is removing wallpaper. With your fingernails. But if I don't want to pay someone to do it, I will have to do it by myself.

Slache Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Longest. Lent. Ever. :glare: Next year I'm giving up food. :closedeyes: Updates! Me: Still tired all the time, but out of bed daily. Doing mixed martial arts as energy allows because Insanity kept wiping me out for a few days. LOVING my OT study! :001_wub: I'm retyping it replacing all of God's names with what the scriptures actually said (Elohim/YHWH) and taking my notes as I go. I'm keeping it as an active Google doc so I can keep adding to it over the years. I have a list of things I want to accomplish during Lent, none of which are done. Matt: Still going bald and snoring. Working hard on his online things. He's only made a little money, but it's supposed to snowball. Or something. His family will be here in a few weeks. :001_unsure: :willy_nilly: :svengo: :ph34r: John: Still huge. Loving life, loving school, learning lots, going hiking. Mary: Continued attitude improvement. I think the tot years were just really hard on her. She wanted to do school too so she's doing written phonogram practice and "math" which is really just her coloring, but she's very proud of herself. :D Babiness: Learning "no". We are having a hard time teaching him because we would always "spank" the babies with a noisy diaper pat to teach them not to do something, but that frightens him so we're using distraction which isn't nearly as effective! (We never actually spanked the babies, that's just what we called it). He has 4 toofs and has learned to climb on top of the coffee table and walk his playpen around the room. <_< Edited March 15, 2017 by Slache 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
