Hi everyone. My son and I got our two Christmas trees up and most of the other decorations. How is it that we always seem to miss something every year? I swear whatever the something is hides itself. This year its one of the tree skirts. The other one was where it should be. Sigh I can't find it anywhere. Might have to order another one.

Hi! Here is how you post code. Put brackets around the word "Code" at the beginning, then at the end also add the word Code with brackets but add in front "/" too. Only the first "Code" will show. To post an image directly: [Code] [/Code] To post an image link: [Code] Cat in tree. [/Code]

Thank you!! I love Sir David so very much <3 And of course I am a huge nature lover ^^

ehhhh been pretty stressed out. I'm looking forward to Lumi and christmas in general to try to unwind a little, work has been WAY too crazy lately. How about you?

me too!! I spend ALL of my sP (minus like 1-2mill) every Lumi hehe

I also have an angelic tribute pet (Mistyboo) <3 It hurts so much when they leave but I will never stop having pets!

me too! I havent made a new Lumi in a couple years, I really want to make a few this year!

omggg that item is amazing, I wish I had seen it during the CW sale ;;_;;

(Sorry guys I'm a little late answering these pings ^^;)

Tbh I snapped it up the second I saw it! Unfortunately missed ...only a few minutes after the pawn shop opened

It always takes me a few days to make an HA. Fireside HA was different as it was mostly from an HA contest that I still had saved. So my current HA needs a few more days to reach perfection :)

Love your Zoey HA :)

I am on Rebelsus or Semaglutide tablets, they seem to do the same thing you are describing. These pills are also being used for weight lose for many a celebrity in hollywood but is meant to be used for diabetics like me sitting just in between the line of type 2 and type 1. I am also on metformin and 2 other drugs for type 2 diabetes....At first the Semaglutide made me so sick I ate less then half I normally ate at meals and was sick to my stomach with aches and pains for more then 3 months, I will say woooo hooo for 1 thing I lost 32 pounds in 3 months and it is staying off the last 2 years.

I have not heard of those tablets before. My doctor put me on Zepbound. Congratulation on losing 32 lbs.! You have diabetes? I am boarder line diabetic but my sugar is pretty good as long as I am eating enough. I can also tell when my sugar is getting low or high without having to check it. When I was born I could not regulate my sugar which is why I watch it every once in a while. I could not image having stomach aches and pains and being sick for 3 full months. I couldn't stand it for 1 month. You are stronger then I am.

Not as strong as you think Kimmie, I cry alot (my hubby worrys about me at times) and it really stresses me out and I hate it. I am a chocolate fanatic, may not sound like much, but being addicted to chocolate is horrible when your a diabetic.
I am trying hard to be strong but at times I fall off to so called wagon and land flat on my face and then have to start all over again... and I do, but it is getting harder..... I hate all the pills and being told what you can and can't eat and such it is nutty... Being strong is not easy, I tend to lose my temper alot.... not good.

That it understandable. Chocolate it the absolute best! I wouldn't be able to give chocolate up for anything. I am trying to get away from some sweets but every now and then I treat myself. It is okay to fall of the wagon every now and then. I do it all the time sad to say. I have depression and anxiety and I was spiraling almost every day. I was having pretty bad episodes of depression so bad that I feared I would crash my car heading to work. Life is hard for everyone, but it is always better to never let the bad times win. It is good that your husband is there to support you through all those times. I have not found someone who will be there for me when I am at my lowest. But I am sure I'll find them eventually. I lose my temper all the time. especially during my period. My family knows not to talk to me unless I talk first. They always say they never know which Kimmie they are getting LOL. Which is not good that my family sees me as a ticking time bomb. I am working on that though.

Thank you for the positive up lift hun , it feels good to know there are others out there like me who feel the same way and who also have those nasty temper out breaks .... at times I feel like I am going crazy with anxiety and depression and that feeling of dread some times.... I am at a lose, I am great ful for my blood family and my family here that help me out alot. And I do understand that ticking time bomb thingy as my hubby walks away shaking his head when I go off, some times we laugh and other times we walk to let me air out my feelings... I am lucky with my hubby he really cares and shares. You will find someone soon i can feel it.

Its ok we still LOVE u :-) and ur not a ticking time bomb, ur just moody :-) and arent u supposed to be working lol slow day?

Im on the GLP-1 meds also. Im on Zepbound and I started it in May when I was in the hospital for CHF (Congestive heart failure) Thankfully they got my CHF under control and changed a few heart meds. I have lost 68lbs since may, but some of that is fluid/water weight. Thankfully I havent had the nausea that Kimmie has been having. Ive been pretty lucky. I did have the sulfur burps off and on, and really bad a few weeks ago. So bad that I almost went to the ER for it. Im on the highest mg now, the 15mg. My dr's got me there pretty fast. I went up to the next mg each month til I got to the 15mg. I know now that they did kinda wrong by doing that. I could have stayed on a lower one for more then a month at a time. But im here now so there isnt much I can do about it. Ive heard that people who r at the highest can have their Dr take them off it for a few months and then start over from the 2.5mg and they say it helps. But I dunno. Ether way im still loosing weight but its definately slowed down a lot lately.

Ok well im off to Walmart with Katie.... Ill ttyl :-)

haha i know that feeling... my wallet is the same

Holey hanabal 68 pounds wow!!! that is so nice I wish, I still need to lose 20 pounds I am told to balance my self out. I started at 3 mg then to 7 mg now at 14 mg and it is helping. I am just happy that I am still a type 2 ( only pills, no needles)
If you or need to talk I am around most days except Saturdays as we do thrift shopping that day. Come and chat any time for any reason at all.

** Would someone please tell me what my Lumi tree looks like. I asked my youngest son to decorate it for me and when I asked him what it looked like, he just started laughing. The kid is a booger sometimes so please tell me it's not horrible and he's just pulling my leg. Thank you. **

- I'm off to read it! Do they have Lumi or Christmas there? Will there be a holiday episode? :D

- 2 christmas trees? 2? I'm lucky if I get one put up the week of Christmas. Plus, it's not even a full sized tree. It's only a 3 foot tree so I get half a christmas tree. I feel shorted. XD XD I hope you find the tree skirt that went walk-about. Or order a lovely Disney one. We had an old fashioned Disney skirt for ages. Had to retire it because it fell apart and the kids wanted it saved in our keepsake trunk. I miss seeing it. :D

- I'm so sorry, hon. I hope the job gets a little easier for you. Perhaps the Christmas spirit will help others be less stressed and therefore you less stressed. I'm actually looking forward to Lumi this year. I'm really llooking forward to the secret santa. That will be fun. :D

Oh, everyone, I got my keyboard fixed, finally. Hubby took all the keys off and thoroughly cleaned it. When he put the keys back on, it was fixed. Hoorah! :D

Your tree is autumn colored with mostly spooky ornaments. There are also a lot of cats stuck in it.

I originally planned for an NYC part to be in the first part of the trilogy but that didn't end up working. I managed to put a little NYC segment in the second part but a lot was left on the cutting room floor as it just didn't work out. Really wanted to write a chapter during the summer where Jash is spread all out on a couch near a window catching the heat. Since he is a cold blooded creature. Also wanted to have a few chapters where Jash talked with Alice Wake (Alan's wife) but that didn't end up working out.

My Lumi HA I'm working on is based on Jash trying to dress up for his first Christmas with Alex in NYC. If I were to work on a short I most likely couldn't release it in time for Christmas.

Yes it was slow but I was also on my lunch break.

That is great that the meds are helping. What do you go thrift shopping for? I don't think I have been to one before.

I'm so sorry you felt so sick! I'm glad you're feeling better.

Thank you!

So many good items went SO quickly in the pawn shop sale!

Thank you, I'm glad the things I'm doing are helping. It was horrible being sick all the time. and not being able to eat the homemade food my family was making.

Glad you are feeling better! Hopefully you get to have all the food you want during the holidays :)

Welcome!

I like your tree! Esp since you love Halloween, this just makes a mix of Halloween and Christmas. <3 Yep, we have two I think 6'6" trees. The flocked one is in the living room in front of the big window facing the front yard. The green one is next to the back door in the den. We really enjoy both of them. The original tree (white) was one of the missing items last year, so we got the other one. Then found the first of course. It was in my room with a stack of boxes. It was hiding in plain sight. lol Nope couldn't find the second tree skirt. I searched online but all the ones I thought would be ok had bad reviews or were useless because they wouldn't be delivered until AFTER Christmas... Ugh. I went to a Home Goods Store today, and searched and searched for a table runner, a tree skirt, and six placemats. It was a serious ordeal to find what I liked that was machine washable and no ironing! I did end up with everything (that actually went together) as well as a smaller runner that is NOT at all washable, but it was too pretty to leave. It has a red background and a bunch of different pine trees. The whole thing is really heavy with beading all over it. I put it on our China cabinet. Got some inexpensive gifts too, for Cory and four friends, and had fun wrapping them. It was always my job to wrap everyone's gifts for every occasion, even my own. lol I miss having a lot to do. At least I still get to do some. :)

Umm.... Ur HA is nakey. Ur dress isnt showing up, at least right now when im seeing ur HA its not showing up. Everything else is showing, just not the dress lol

I love ur tree! I love Halloween (my birthday lol) and ur son did a great job decorating it. Its funny cause my other daughter Katelyn picked out my tree & background and decorated it this year. She is 21yrs old though. lol I keep telling her to make an account but she hasnt. So when I had her decorate the tree and search for new ornaments and then I showed her a few more things on here it seemed like she enjoyed it. But she says she probably wouldnt play often. I tried to explain that she really doesnt have to play daily. Im still trying to get her on the Subeta train lol I'll succeed someday lol

Im still awake.... Not sure why. Its 2:24am here in PA. I just feel like playing on here instead of sleeping lol
