The Computers 101 / ABC Reunion Thread is a combination of two long-running, ancient threads (in terms of forums threads), the Computers 101 thread (where the technologically clueless could seek help from other singles) and the Agape Bubble Cafe thread (which itself started as a flirting practice thread but evolved into a comfy place to hang out and share our lives with one another).

This thread is open to everybody to come in and share your joys, sorrows, frustrations, challenges, and elations. In short, come on in, settle into a latte, sip on a comfy couch, and share your life.

Be prepared to find some posters from way back in the 20th Century as well as some newer (yet still forums experienced) faces.

CLICK HERE for the last page or so of the last thread.

Hi everybody. Just getting myself subbed to this thread.

How's everybody doing?

As of today, we don't have a car. We'd been borrowing a car, but today it had to go home to its owners. If you feel led to pray, please pray that we get a new car/vehicle. We don't have the finances to buy a car, other than a tiny toy car.

Thanks Tricia!

Hello everyone!

Well, Josie has discovered the toilet. I was about 2 steps behind her when I heard her hand make a splashing noise in the toilet. She's also intrigued with the handle. She'll start to push it down and it makes a tiny water flowing noise, she looks all around with a bewildered look on her face, then she takes her hand off the handle. It's pretty funny! Okay, so it takes little to amuse me.

My parents are moved! They're still dealing with getting things in place and settling in but they're moved. I started painting their bathroom but only got one coat of primer on. We all decided to wait a week or two for me to work on it again. Why ow WHY would someone paint a tiny bathroom dark dark dark brown? And with mint green tile? It looks like an Ande mint in there! But of course it doesn't now since I've primed the brown part.

Josie and I plan to take them a House Warming gift today...a dozen peanut butter cookies.

Tonight we're taking the kids (I teach kids on Wed. night) to another church where they are having a family revival/crusad type of thing. There's a group there that does puppets, ventriloquism, and special music for the kids. So...thanks to the help of some other parents, we're going. Should be interesting...I can't hardly do anything with the kids IN class...we'll see how they behave OUT of class. LOL

Yay that your parents are all moved, Tammy!

Is Josie going to help you cook, or she just the quality control officer? How cute about her discovering the toilet? How close is she to getting potty trained?

Mmm....Pumkin Spice latte.....comfy cozy couch.....October is starting off rather well. This morning I wore a sweater to work! Sweeet! It was a little cool but is probably toasty again outside. Can't wait for even cooler weather, but alas, I have to....I'm in the south.

Doesn't the air just smell like fall Tina? I love this time of the year.........

I am looking forward the hearing the crunch of leaves under my feet.

I really can't smell anything. My allergies have been horrendous the past couple of weeks. One of the secretaries here says that there's a theory that Hurrican Ike brought in a lot of allergens from the coast. I think I believe it, because this is the pits!! I'm getting ready to run out for lunch and get some more allergy meds. I ran out yesterday. If this doesn't get better soon I may go to a dr to see if they can do anything better than claritin. Blah. But I would LOVE to smell fall. I'd love to smell (almost) anything a this point...

I just had a really cool thought...........Rach has not been posting in singles since she got married.........but because she doesn't she feel disconnected........in this thread she can post, being married, and still be a part of the single community...........very cool........I can't wait till she gets on so I can tell her to come here....

MODERATOR'S NOTE :: ATTENTION PLEASE

I love having the new folks, but please keep the one-liner type posts to a minimum. We don't want this thread to grow so fast that it is just another chat thread.

Thanks!

Tell Rachel to pop in for a visit! I don't have time to keep up with PFY ... and I miss her!

Thanks for starting the new thread, Tricia!

Welcome, new friends!

I have been crazy busy ... dealing with plumbing issues (ick) and life in general.

Hope Ruthie, Tracy and all the others find their way here .... Poor Tracy, seems like she always finds us just as the old thread is retired ...

(Tracy, for all the Newbies, met her husband in this thread!)

Hey everyone!

There are times when I wish our leaves turned that gorgeous red here. They fall and that's pretty but red...oh my!

It was one month yesterday! Just 11 more and it will be a year. lol

Tammy - funny about Josie discovering the toilet! You might have to put a childproof something-or-other on it before she throws objects into it.

Trish - bummer about the car.

Tina - I haven't gotten cool enough to wear a sweater outside. I suppose in the mornings it could be that cool, but if I'm doing anything more than heading to the car, I'm walking a good distance, so I get all warmed up - no sense wearing something heavy! Today it was about, oh, 55 degrees or so outside when I walked 1.5 miles. I had on a long sleeved, lightweight shirt. I still was sweating like crazy. But hey - the leaves are all changing, so at least it's pretty outside!

Which Rachel are y'all talking about?

It was 3 years ago today that Kevin and I married. (We met here on the singles forum, too.) Tonight I'm making one of his favorite meals (and one I can't stand); I'll have some stew I made over the weekend. I also made 3 mini chocolate pies, about pot pie size. It's fewer servings (6) than a full pie (8) so we'll be able to finish them off faster, before the crust gets too soggy.

So yeah.

The job hunt is still going nowhere. I did meet a lady at Curves last week that recommended I go to Kelly Services (a temp agency like Pro Staff or whatever). She said that that is how she got her job - that the company she works for doesn't hire directly at all but only hires through Kelly. So one of these days I'll head into the nearby city to the Kelly office and see what they can do for me.

Other than that, I can't think of much else to report.

Oh - okay. I didn't know she got married! Was it someone from the forums or someone in her offline life? How long ago?

I feel so out of the loop.

Not from forums - am sometime in Aug, I believe. She WAS in Beaumont, TX, but her place got hit by Ike, so she's 2 hours to the north. But, joy can provide more details - I'm just going off the info in her PFY thread.

congrats! that's a good baking tip when cooking for one (or two). i can't imagine leaving pie laying around that long (unless it was cheesecake).

WOW I am so happy.......not only is there now a chat thread which will be comfortable for my friends who don't usually post in singles anymore but it is one which encourages long post...........why do I feel like I have hit the jack pot?

For the regulars here who do not know me I am not a short sentence or one word post type gal.........probably the reason I don't fit in the other chat thread.........if I am going to take the time to type out a post I want to at least say something LOL .............I admit sometimes I do tend to ramble as well............so hopefully here I will find a happy medium which not only works well for me but for the others who post here as well..............I am so happy......I feel like I might just have found a place on here I can call home........yeah...

Ta-mosquito.....I have never met you but look forward to getting to know you better. I have read some of your post and know a little of your story with meeting your prince here on CW. Was it in the singles forum or somewhere else? Do you mind sharing a little of the story with us? If I recall most of it was long distance correct? Did you meet like a month before you married? I will stop........I am just really curious.....and can't wait to hear more.

Mrs Above-All I know you I am surprised you didn't take your husbands name LOL.........

This thread is going to be so much fun.........


Oh and before I forget........have a great time tonight ta-mosquito.........enjoy the pie.........and the evening........
