Hey everyone!!!
Finally able to settle down for the evening. Went shopping for the bedroom and found really great quality mission style bedroom furniture. Really good stuff. Got the high boy and a night stand. Already had the bed. Mirror and something for the wall. Next up window stuff and bedding. will be nice to have new things to enjoy.
Hope everyone is well...
Nons... have no clue. Who what is that?

Anyone know why I can never view the videos you guys put up? It always says this plug in is not supported. I use a Kindle Fire. Is there something I can download to make them work?? Definitely not an IT person here!

What browser you using? maybe by switching the browser from say Explorer to Chrome to Firefox it may work, also make sure your software is fully updated, especially Flash Adobe and Java!! 
Settling in here on my Friday night, can't tell you how pleased I am to be off work tomorrow, because it is currently snowing here and driving in the snow stresses the hell out of me, give me some good old fashioned Irish rain 365 days if you want but no ice and snow!!
Time to kick things up a gear on this music thread!! T-Rex anyone?!!

Della,
I don't know much about the issue either, but if people post the url, such as...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=6yy6qICUTe0
...you should be able to copy and paste that into the kindle browser and the videos should play from the youtube site. I think. I'm posting this via my laptop and then I'll test the link above on my kindle.

Hi everyone!
I don't normally struggle with weekends too much since I work from home anyway. But tonight my AV kicked in big time. "Oh, my boyfriend is coming to visit me so I should pick up a six pack of my favorite IPA's for when he gets here. It will be a nice treat for him. And I'll have just a little bit, too. A treat for us both."
Reality: My boyfriend can drink safely. I can't. And he was really worried about my drinking. I made a promise to myself and to him that I won't drink anymore. If I have a 6 pack when he shows up, he'll worry I've relapsed. Because I WILL have. And THAT'S not much of a treat.
Let's face it, if I get that 6 pack I'm going to drink at least 3 if not 4 of those IPA's. That's enough to get me pretty buzzed and start slurring my words and forgetting things. He doesn't like to interact with me when I'm like that. What kind of a treat would that be?!
So, turns out that this "treat" for my partner is actually just like the time Homer Simpson bought a bowling ball for Marge. He bought a gift for himself and disguised it as a gift for her. And let's face it, I wasn't trying to buy the 6 pack for him. I was trying to buy it for ME. Or, the alcohol monster was trying to get me to buy it a 6 pack so it could feed itself.
Monster, you can go back to bed now and stay there. Thank you.
