it's been a busy year for us with our son - he's healthy and is growing like a little weed. he started walking a few weeks ago and now doesn't want to do much of anything else. other than that i've been super busy with work etc, but overall it's been the best year of my life!
I wish you were on here more often. But if you're spending your time with your wife and that son of yours, we can live without you. I hope you continue to have more best years.
Happy to hear it! I'm in the BSN program at WKU and have been enjoying my nieces and nephew whenever I am able to get home! Hope everything continues to go well for you!
i like the fact that i'm the only person on your friends list with a colored name (-:
i wish i had more time to post on pleo like i used to...but life is crazy busy now. the joys of adulthood. i feel like i can give a quick update on facebook...only a sentence or two and feel satisfied with that. with pleonast, i feel like i need to post more meaningful stuff, or just more than a handful of sentences...which is part of the reason why i've slowed down posting on here. but that is purely a psychological thing on my end and has nothing negative to do with pleonast itself.
I tried it on another computer and it does not work there, either. I also checked with a couple of friends and one said her's is fine; the other said her's is sluggish, unlike the way it used to be. But mine does not budge at all. I see the 4 arrowed cursor but when I place it over the avatars then left click, they will not drag. I noticed this about a week ago, so, yes, I have shut down my computer several times.
^Hi Sarah, take a look at this. It's a pretty neat trick I stumbled onto. You can set up a Box.net account to display pictures, mp3s, pdfs, etc to a room. It's a great way to add more functionality to Pleo. It might be something your interested in. Here is the link to my post with a demo and instructions. Hope it helps in some way! :-)
Not sure if you will see this, but I would *really* like to be able to export all of my old entries before my gold runs out. Not really using pleo anymore, but I don't want to lose all of my old posts or have to go through and copy/paste all thousand of them or whatever it is.
A while back I changed my email (didn't realize it was outdated) and then started getting alerts on comments when I watched my own posts. Now I'm not getting those anymore. Do I need to change something?
A better notification system is really all I would care about, and I think most people. Notifications is definitely what keeps most people coming back to a social network.
the dream is over. very exciting last match, and despite team usa's stubbornness, they couldn't keep up with the ghanaians physically in extra time and had to resort to senseless long balls. but it's still great to see how much we're improving, and i hope that this will spur us on to even greater things for 2014. and at least this wasn't a 0-0 snoozer decided on penalty kicks - the USMNT kept it really exciting until the very last.
and now i'll join the rest of this country and follow the excitement of team deutschland, who despite some shakiness are still incredibly fun to watch.
did you watch the game today? if so, where, and with whom?
I was at work, but I had the site up through out the entire match for the up to date scoring.
Disappointed to be sure.
Still debating on whom to root now.
Yes, at home, with my dogs. (So tempted to reply: "Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick." But, I resisted. See?) I'm not into soccer but I was hoping for a win anyway.
Yup, watched pretty much the entire competition so far - US games and all others. The US certainly impressed and made me proud as a supporter. It was nice to hear people talk about proper football for once throughout the country. People who I would have never expected to even know that the World Cup was going on were talking about the team and even some of the players by name. It's definitely encouraging for the sport in this country and shines some light on 2014.
Unfortunately though, I'm going to have to cheer against your Germans tomorrow as I'm hopping on the England train from here on out... I definitely love the way the Germans have been playing (particularly this up-and-coming Özil fella! I'd like to see him come to my boys in the red half of Manchester!), but tomorrow it'll be all about the Three Lions for me! C'mon England! For the Queen! ^_^
First full match I've been able to watch. We saw the second half of RSA vs. Mex while in Memphis, but we haven't been near a cable outlet or a TV when other games were on. I LOVED watching our guys play and was so hopeful, but they didn't follow through on a lot of good opportunities. So, overall disappointing. OTOH, it was fantastic to see men's football on ABC on a Saturday afternoon!
Hah! I watched it on Spanish-language TV, and turned it off after regulation play, thinking it had ended in a tie - I didn't realize that they played to a definite win in the finals!
i had lunch at the leuchtcafe ideal in leipzig today. the cafe is a little corner restaurant without a menu or prices - you sit down and they ask you what you would like to eat, or if there is anything you can't eat, and then they cook something, and then you pay whatever you feel the meal was worth.
i had sauteed chicken breast on a bed of pearl barley, with a side of feldsalat. it was very tasty, the people were super friendly, and the entire atmosphere was relaxed, like hanging out in a friend's living room. i left 10 euros in the jar, and i'll definitely be going back again.
afterwards, i went with a friend to check out rockzipfel, a coworking space / office for parents + children. it's a really cool concept, and you should check out their webpage.
i really love leipzig - there is really a large community of people looking for alternative ways to live and work, and i find it incredibly inspiring to get to know them.
That's about 13-14 dollars. I liked the video and wondered how long they have been in business. Hopefully people with integrity give them fair payment and a tip. This speaks well of the neighborhood if they are successful and able to operate for a long time. It looked welcoming, eclectic , trendy and refreshing.
I wonder if they could make me some mac and cheese and fried fish?
Thanks for sharing a little part of the community!
I've started learning German with the goal of visiting there without feeling completely lost. It was encouraging to watch the video and get an idea of how I'm doing. When I go to Leipzig I'll definitely have to check that place out.
kool!
