- I hear you on dealing with the lag. I didn't have all that much motivation to begin with, but I really honestly didn't try to use the site much at all during Fireside/Black Friday, which is too bad for the site as I'm sure they didn't get as much revenue as they have in years past. Oh well... timing is everything.

This is why I adopted Piz haha I just couldn't live without a dog, it's really impossible to explain this relationship with a dog, it's just a pure love, care and trust.

I'm mostly better but it's been a mess. My mom had to go to the ER Wednesday because something went bad in her knee when we were at work and she's been housebound since then. We're waiting on a referral for an MRI to get approved at the moment. I've had to do a lot more than usual and my dad is not nearly as good at taking care of her and the apartment as I am, but the downside is that my back is bad as are my knees, so I'm getting super worn out. And we're short at work because our manager has been out and so I have to pick up her jobs plus mine. I need a break hahaha. How're you doing?

- I know it's different, but I feel the same way about my cat. I would be completely lost without her. <3

- Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope that her knee isn't too bad, and I hope that things calm down for you and your family soon! You definitely need a break!

As for me, I need a break too. Work has been stressful, as usual at this time of year. The kids are insane too and need a break!

: Sorry to hear the news about your mom. I hope things are improving for her.

(Me: Fell in a hole yesterday while carrying a case box of finals and couldn't see where I was walking. Hole wasn't that deep, no lasting bodily damage -- tore a pair of pants, though. A little sore today. What is it with me and finals?)

- It’s that time of year when the strangest crap happens. I hope the soreness goes away quickly! On a side note, holy cow! New HA for you!!! <3

looking dapper in your new clothes! Hope the aches go away soon.

Ooh I was going to ask if he had to change clothes because of his ripped pants from the fall. I'm glad it wasn't a serious fall though knowing you I am betting there was a bit more damage than you are admitting to. And I don't mean to the ego.

I am sorry to hear about your family stuff, particularly your mom. I hope you ALL get to rest soon. :/

hang in there with tose kids! I know you ae doing a great job with such an important thing for them to be learning ❤️

Lypsyl, you holding up ok after those bad perogies?

LOL yeah! Went for simple, old and familiar, spaghetti :D.

I am betting it wasn't gluten free ;)

Thank you all very much. We've got an appointment with the sports medicine doc tomorrow so hopefully he can give us a better idea of what's going on with her.

I hope we all get rest soon honestly.

hell no! It was yummy :D

hope the appointment goes well and they can help her quickly.

Thank you so very much ❤️

Nothing broken. Landed on my left knee and my right hand, and bruised them both -- the hand more than the knee for some reason -- thankfully, it's not my writing hand, so I'm managing to grade papers. (Hope to be finished with those by tomorrow.)

it may not have been terrible but it still sounds painful! I'm truly glad you didn't break ytour wrist but you could PRETEND you did so someone else has to grade those papers!

Damn, why didn't I think of that?

I just saw your response to the person trying to access a legacy shop. I have tried numerous times from the top drop down menu and get the error. And it doesn't appear in the profits widget at all. What am I missing?

they weren't trying to access a legacy shop, they were trying to access a new shop. The link on the dashboard doesn't work for any shop - new or legacy. So people have been having problems access ALL shops. No one, as far as I know can access legacy shops in any way.

Oh. Well then. I misundstood something, just the wrong thing :D

no problem. I actually wondered too when I first read it if maybe they were legacy shops, but I went to their profile and I could access the shops, so they had to be new ones.
