Wisconsin Chit-Chat & Daily Check-in...

[pk]

oh oh...I just got caught on here when I'm suppose to be working with my kids cleaning! Not often my kids actually have to yell at me to hurry up and do something and they are waiting! Usually it's the other way and I am trying to get them to work! lol

Somehow this has to be Dave's fault..don't ya think Carol? Have to blame it someone. lol OK..to be fair, maybe Keith's. If he didn't have such a great website here I would be outside working! Ok..it's Keith's fault! LOL LOL

[CarolsCritterCare]

Shame Shame Shame!!! LOL

Well PK, they could flip a coin to see who wants to take blame for it.

Since Keith is owner, maybe it should just be Dave's fault

[dgridley]

Ok, ok.. just throw me under the bus!

She's been doing this for about 5 years now. What can I say, she likes to learn.

wow chinese school, i have never heard of that before, very cool.

My daughter loves school as well, well she did up until last year when she moved out & decided college wasn't for her

Does anyone go to casinos? i have an itch to do the casino & dont really want to go alone. I guess the itch stems from knowing i cant leave my mom home alone & have to stay here... i never have an itch to waste money any other time, maybe it's a good thing she is here lol

[dgridley]

I absolutely love the casinos but gonna be broke for the next couple weeks!

I prefer playing the slots.. what's your game?

Been spending the morning sending emails to Wisconsin bands to post over at WisMusic.com and already seeing a couple sign up!

[Kens Digital Media]

I never got the casino bug. From time to time I may go but I can walk out anytime.

Well about 20 garage sales in 4 hours or so, Ashland and Washburn area. I did get a few things, a HP Photosmart 145 printer for $1.00, a computer game and some computer software for $1.50, a power grinder for $4.00 and a couple things from the Free box.

I think I did pretty good, the printer itself is selling for around $70.00 used on Amazon and I paid $1.00 for it

Cool. Just an idea but maybe your doing this already?

How about making a couple banners so the bands can put them on their websites. Links are always good

[dgridley]

Some good buys!

I hit the garage sales on the weekend and thrift stores during the week. My whole apartment was furnished that way!

I have a closet full of printers, lol! Cheaper to buy a new printer sometimes than new ink cartridges, or the new one has more features. My current one is a Lexmark 4350 all-in-one which is, you guessed it, out of ink!

I've never had an interest to go. Never been to one. Went to the dog track once....that was not for me either.

I hit a few rummages while I was out taking care of critters. Got myself a good shovel, rake, hammer, box of nails, and a blanket for the skunks.

[Latina]

My game is high stakes poker (video) i'm not good enough to play at a table with others. I seldom go, but like i said maybe it's that i have to be home & it makes me want to break lose, I usually stay about an hour & get bored with it, unless i'm winning that is lol I did the race track in Kentucky once, wasn't my cup of tea either.

I like your thinking!


We do this for all of our sites, our clients' sites, etc...

Usually one of the last links in the sitemap goes to a page like
Banner Ads Link to Us

The one for theBubbler is at
Banner Ads Link to Us

Thanks!

No need for thread hijacks or threads straying off-topic... Post here when you are looking for general chit-chat or just simply want to greet your fellow Bubbler members.



In this thread you can feel free to post whatever is on your mind.

This is great!

Feels like being at a lively little cocktail party.

Hope your Mom does real well with you.

The weekend - doesn't totally suck.

Regards,
Keith

Printers.. I hear ya. I have around 10 printers and from garage sales another 6 complete computer systems ( I plan to sell sometime). I currently use a HP Officejet 7310, it's awesome but my fav feature is printing on both sides of a piece of paper. It prints out the front then stops, goes back in by itself and out comes the back all printed out. It saves time and paper.

Carol, I seen your pics and I have to say your really brave lol. Your holding a skunk with it's tail up and it's on carpet?!? I'd have to look again but still, I don't think I'd ever be in that position. Too many stinky stories I've heard lol

P.S. I think your resizing your pics too small. On another post you had a pic resized like a thumbnail pic. A good size would be around 600 pixels or so. That would take into account the left collum and the website shouldn't expand.

Oh no, suddenly you are talking Greek to me...sorry. I just click the attachment button and the website here/forum does the rest for me. I can't remember how to get the pic into the body of my "words"...I used to use photo bucket but lord only remembers how I used to do it. That is why I started to use the attachment button offered here....BUT if you click on the pic in my post it does get bigger.

Well Hells Bells! I take back everything I just said. Got to thinking that since the resize font button and the color button were working again I tried to do a photo insert...AND IT WORKED!! The photo button is working again

Geeze I need to go post all sort of cool stuff!! Here's a cute stinker for you Ken!

[Kens Digital Media]

Just to let ya know I'm standing a block away, lol
Glad to see you got your picture uploads working good now.

To give you an idea I added a pic below of how I can see the pictures you post.

[CarolsCritterCare]

Well that is strange if you are seeing that exact picture that tiny cuz you made me pull out the tape measure because it's darn near filling my whole screen. It measures 7 1/2" long by 6" wide ~ so it's much bigger then the file attachments I was sending.

Dont know what to say.

Properties of the pics says it's 29.0 KB (29,699 bytes)

Thanks hun, i enjoy making graphics.


Hope you all had a wonderful day, been a busy one here.

[keith]

Just checkin' in...

Go Brewers! Enjoyed the game w/MrKhay (chat)

Our own Mike from theBubbler was at the game (lucky dog!)

Ken, those computers are no doubt appreciating in value daily!

Carol, your last pic is plenty big.

Chica, I neglected to tell you how awesome the graphic is! The thread is a hoot and the graphic makes it hootier!

The Badgers lost to Ohio State ruining the 2nd longest home winning streak in the country.

pk, hope you got your work done with the kids!

Found some interesting stuff to post elsewhere here...

Later!

Regards,
Keith

Yeah Chica your image is awesome

Watermark Program

Yeah Keith it doesn't do any good holding onto those computers.

[pk]

Good morning everyone...I actually went to sleep early (well for me that is lol ) slept all night, made my self lay around for a few extra hours and now I feel worse for it. I swear my body thinks it runs best on just a few hours of rest. I think sleep is over rated. lol I'm sure some here must understand that feeling. lol

Well thanks Keith for

pk, hope you got your work done with the kids!

but work is never done. We are re doing a bunch of things, tearing the basement apart, just cleaned out the garage, getting a rummage sale set up, you know all the fun things of having a home, getting ready for winter, fall cleaning. .. ...

(yawn) I just bored myself thinking of it all. lol

[CarolsCritterCare]

Good morning!!
