Hi I think I made it but I am not sure how this works. Where does my comment go from here. Do I have to do the word verification with each comment? I feel so stupid. Who all is here right now/

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

Renee, You found me. I was on this page and all of a sudden it disappeared and I had to start all over again.

Maureen said...

Hi EVE!
How are you? How's the family?

Tinkatia said...

Maureen - Nice to see you. It's ok about the e-mail. I know how busy you can be. My babies are fine, they are brushed and ready for the night. I am almost ready for bed too. I have been working hard to get on this site.

Renee Eve said...

Hi Tinka and Moweenie: The familys fine Thanks, Yes Tinka this was so hard, lol, Carol did it for me. I just had to go and sign in. But I think I got the wrong page at first. are we the only ones that know of this or are they still trying to get in Hello,

night.owls.sb said...

Oh my goodness I think that was harder than I thought, glad some
night owls showed up!

BTW..its me cpgem8

Renee Eve said...

OK I'm going to bed, talk to you guys tomorrow

Love you guys!!!!!!!!

Maureen said...

I had a hard time getting here, too! I took a journey thru a bible site to get here. Maybe this is the answer to our prayers to find a SAFE site!!
CPGEM8, you know...ya could at least have coffee and cookies here for us to snack on as we sit on your couch and chat!!!!!
Whaddya think Eve and Tinka? Coffee and cookies?? LOL

Renee Eve said...

OK I'm Back for a few, Moweenie, Cookies sound GREAT so does COFFEE, Wheres Jax and Birdee????? Jax emailed me and told me she don't know what else to say tonite. I think shes tired. My throat is killing me who knows why, maybe I talked to much today. Imagine that. I have to get Vincent & Victor on the bus, then take the 2 dogs for haircuts, then go to the dentist for a filling.

night.owls.sb said...

I was getting so frustrated that I ate all the cookies, and drank all the coffee...this has been a very long journey...

night.owls.sb said...

how funny jax has nothing to say,
well we will have to make her talk!
she must be up to no good

night.owls.sb said...

btw..its me cpgem8

Amicus said...

Hello Night Owls!

Just quickly checking out the new blog before heading to bed. I'll be back tomorrow to chat.

Thanks bunches Cpgem8 for setting this up for us! Great idea!!

Sweet dreams everyone!

Maureen said...

Eve,
Jax and I were instant messaging and all of a sudden she disappeared. Maybe she is having some computer issues.
Don't forget to wave as you pass thru Cleveland next month!
CPGEM8,
YOU ate all the cookies????? Some hostess you are turning out to be!!! What about some confections? Got any of them to share? LOL
Tomorrow I will bring some doughnuts and extra coffee for everyone!! (maybe some amaretto to give the coffee an added boost!!)

Renee Eve said...

Thats ok I'll make something for tomorrow OK. HI Amicus glad your here YEAH!!!!!! I just hope I can find this place tomorrow. lol

Renee Eve said...

Jay Leno on Jimmy Kimmel????? I didn't know what channel I had on

Bon'O said...

Holy Moses..........I may have to wait until morning coffee to get the strength to post here...just the trip wore me out! Are we there yet?? Making sure I "favorited" this spot. Otherwise I met never return. Hugs all around the room, kids!!

Renee Eve said...

night.owls.sb said...

Ok guys off to bed for me, I can't keep my eyes open, I am so not a nite owl. I agree Renee do you think we can all find this tomorrow.

Mo, you are in charge of the food
and so glad you are back!

night.owls.sb said...

Bonnie, Amicus, you guys made it!

Bon'O said...

Yes, and I need a nightcap! That was hard work, but GOOD JOB GUYS!!
I still hope we don't abandon the old homestead in Rossland, 'cause it takes a while for a new house to feel like home. I'm a bit dizzy from all this up-to-the-top to post, back to the bottom to read.............am I missing anything? Sure good to see ya~!

Tinkatia said...

I got called away to the phone. Is anyone still here?

night.owls.sb said...

bonnie,

I am not leaving rossland, this site is just for the nite owls so they can chit chat all they want.

Rossland is fun for me, I enjoy it

Renee Eve said...

Yes Tinka I'm still here but I need to really get going its 1:00 am here in Michigan lol

Bon'O said...

I'm here, Tink...so good to see you again!

Tinkatia said...

I guess I am the only one left here tonight. Am I talking to myself.

night.owls.sb said...

Hey Tinka, its me cpgem8, glad you made it in. Late nite place for all the night owls.

Tina~in_ut said...

this is too cool~ Thanks Carol~ :D

I kept getting foaded on that other site....hope this posts :)~

Tinkatia said...

bonnie - Hi. Do we have to do the word verification with each comment? Am I missing something? It seems like a lot of work to have to do it everytime.

Bon'O said...

YAY...good to know we'll still have something to read over morning coffee!!! Have the two Queens of the Nightowls been here yet? I miss them!

If you don't hear from me again tonite, I'll (hopefully, if I can find my way) see you tomorrow.

Bon'O said...

OMG......Tina, HI sweetie!

Tinkatia said...

Nobody is answering me.

Tina~in_ut said...

Hi Bon'O~ what the crap did you say about morning? I'm allergic to morning! :)~

Tina~in_ut said...

Tink~ Yes....I think you do~ :D

night.owls.sb said...

Tinka,
You might have word verfication set up on your profile for blogspot. I don't have to do the word thing when I post a comment.

Hey Tina, you made it. Now you night owls have a place to chit chat.

Tinkatia said...

I will ask it again. Do we have to do the word verification each time we leave a comment?

Tina~in_ut said...

nightowlbabycakes~ how do I turn that thing off then.... :D

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, I am really off to bed now, I can't be a night owl, I just don't have it in me. Tomorrow I will post a new blog, and we will start fresh with new comments.

Good nite BBs..sweet dreams!

Renee Eve said...

Tinka I also have the word comment thingy I don't know how to shut it off.

Tinkatia said...

How do you think I can get rid of the word verification thing. Amicus probably knows but she has gone to bed. I can't see that well to keep doing these letters. Did anybody tell Zonababy about this site?

Renee Eve said...

GOODNIGHT cpgem8 and a BIG THANK YOU for doing this but I really have to go to bed too.

Renee Eve said...

Tinka, I don't know who knows about this site???? I didn't tell anyone but Jax and Birdee and they havent shown up yet and probaly wont until tomorrow,

Tinkatia said...

Renee I think I will wait until tomorrow and see if I can shut this off. It is 10: 15 here. What time is it there? I am going to bed as soon as I hear from you next. So good night my dear.

Tinkatia said...

I guess I am alone now. I can't figure out how to turn the word thing off so I will just say Good Night. See you all tomorrow.

cpgem8 said...

I got rid of the word verfication

sorry...did not realize it was set up in the profile...

ok..really going now...

goodnite

Maureen said...

Holy Mother of Pearl!

Hi to BonOregon and Amicus!

Tina~in_ut said...

MOJOHOWITZ~ Yeah~ I'm glad you got it.... :D

Renee Eve said...

Moweenie, Did you ever find out what happened to JAX??????

Bon'O said...

Anybody here? I thought there were NIGHTowls :o)

Off to bed early tonight, but just checked in on Rossland. Mugsy reposted the 'Mighty Casey Has Struck Out' that I posted earlier today, but he SHOUTED it, and followed it with what seems to be a 'diss' at Ross and a goodbye. That's kinda sad.

Tina~in_ut said...

Bon'O~ I thought it was kinda funny~

Tina~in_ut said...

WOW!! I just read the words to the song Ross danced to~ That sealed the deal~

Jodi said...

Hi everybody!!! Gotta go to work, but just wanted to say Hi!!! I'll have to figure all this out later. Just wanted to say thanks to Carol for setting all this up!!
Peace & Luv
Jodi

Jodi said...

Just wanted to thank Carol for setting this up!!! I have to go to work now, but will have to take time to figure all this out later.
Peace

Maureen said...

Good Morning Everyone!
Coffee is made. There's cream, skim milk, sugar, splenda, amaretto and baileys for your condiment pleasure!
Doughnuts are on the counter! And some fat free muffins, too.
Please help yourself

Bon'O said...

GOOOOOD MORNING, HAPPY CAMPERS!!!!
A NEW DAY DAWNS. But do we have any East Coast folks in here yet? It could get lonely here in the mornings, us being 'nightowls' and all. Read all FOUR overnight posts to Rossland before even making my a.m. potty stop. That's just wrong :o) Oh, yeah.....gonna like it here. Welcome Jodi, Whab & Delores...sorry the trip here was so exhausting we didn't stay up to greet you. BUT, the coffee's on, everybody. I'll even share my oatmeal & blueberries :o)

SAY IT LOUD...I'M HERE & I'M PROUD!!!

Bon'O said...

Before heading out to deal with 'real life' today, just another big THANK YOU to Carol for the new NEST.

Since I love playing with words, what do you think, guys....does the 'sb' in 'night.owls.sb' stand for "SuperBird'? "SupremeBeing"?:o)

bon

Tinkatia said...

Wow this is great. The word verification thing is gone. I spent an hour last night trying to get rid of it and couldn't. Good Morning everyone.

♥LOVEY♥ said...

♥HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!♥
It's so great to know there is a safe haven for us. Thanks Carol :o)

Tinkatia said...

Hi Lovey, Glad you found us. We may be here tonight. I think everyone is busy right now.

iteach said...

The teacher in me needs a topic for tonight. Something fun! Any ideas?

Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?

I'm going to do third quarter report cards how exciting is that!

iteach said...

Oops I meant second quarter! I wish it was third quarter already.

Tinkatia said...

Hi iteach - I hated report card time especially the years when they wanted us to write a long personal account about the child. It was supposed to be like a newsy letter. You try to do that and not have all the good kids sounding like the same report - it was hard. Then report cards got easier because we did comments on each subject. What are your report cards like? Do you have letter grades?

iteach said...

Tink-

E= exceeding expectations

M = meeting expectations

D= developing

N= not meeting expectations

That is the type of letter grades we use. Then on the back we have room to write about four sentences of comments for each quarter.

Tinkatia said...

That is what we were doing when I left. I didn't find them too hard to do. For the years when we had to type a couple of pages on each child, telling the parents something unique about his/her kid it used to take us a couple of hours a report card. I used to look back at my old report cards that had little 'tics' beside each subject and I used to wonder why we had to work so hard. Oh those were the days. Even the ones you are doing take quite a long time don't they? It always felt good to get them in to the principal early. I never worked well under pressure. Good Luck with them.

Tinkatia said...

testing to see how long it takes to post.

Tinkatia said...

it's instant. By the time you scroll down it's there.

Tina~in_ut said...

Hi ladies.....when I was at home, I was posting on day 2....when i got to work....i found all of you here~ If you go back to the main page and click on january, you will see the next page~ :D

Tinkatia said...

Am I on the wrong page?

iteach said...

Yes, we were on the wrong page-too funny! Click above on night.owls.sb and you will see the two different pages. Hugs!

Birdee said...

hey!!! i'm in

Bon'O said...

Tinka......Did you & the others here get lost on the way to Day 2?That's where we are now. Go up to the very top of this page & click on the "night.owls.sb". It'll take you to a new main page, where you can click on the Day 2 blog.

Tinkatia said...

I put in my picture but I don't see it by my comments.

Tinkatia said...

Now I do. It doesn't go back and put the picture by old comments like myspace does.

whabbear said...

Waving to all! We're off to the Lone Star... what a surprise!

Just_Lin said...

Hello everyone. It's me, Just_Lin. It's great to see you all again. I hope I am doing this right as I am not very computer savvy. I will check back in with you all later.

Mary/MI said...

Hi there, MaryfromMICH reporting in. I'm not sure what name will pop out. Guess I will find out.

Mary/MI said...

One more test

DreamaTexas said...

How do I get to page 2?

Tinkatia said...

I tried to post and it said I didn't have the right e-mail address. First E-Bay does this to me and now this site. Could it be my computer? I will try again tomorrow. Good night once more.

Mary/MI said...

Let's see how this looks

Tinkatia said...

Bon Oregon - I am sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like you didn't know what would happen if a bolt hit your house. It was a rhetorical question. I was trying to be dramatic. I am so worried about such things. I didn't mean to make it sound like you didn't know the answer. Sometimes I think I know what I am writing but it doesn't come out the same way as I am thinking. Does that make sense?

Tinkatia said...

Tina - Thanks for the site. I bookmarked it and I will get on it tomorrow. I didn't know where you were sending me. I was expecting to find pictures of George Clooney. Surprise! It was a passport application form.

Tinkatia said...

Nowmercy - lst and 2nd. That's pretty fast. Good Morning my dear.

Vig - and you were 3rd. That's pretty close too. Maybe tomorrow for you or will you sleep in? Anyway Good Morning to you too.

Early Morning Greetings to Dianne, Lynn and all the other owls.

I watched the fun you all had last night. I was a little too tired to get in the nest but I was there.

I am off to read Ronniegirl's post and Zona's e-mail. I will be back in a little while.

I can't get in. It is asking for my password and won't accept it. I haven't 'signed in' in weeks for I know it is the correct password.

Tinkatia said...

Hi Donna Jean - We haven't talked for a while. I hope all is going well with you and little Laurie. How about an e-mail update when you have the time. I think about you a lot.
Love, Tinka

Bear and Joey - I just saw today's quote. I am leaving my computer still laughing.
You both are welcome here anytime.

Tinkatia said...

Zona - Have a good sleep. Write me when you get up.

Mary - I am so happy to hear the news about your brother.
That's the best thing I have heard today.

VIG - This is a great blog. Call me this afternoon.

Tinkatia said...

Zona - When you visit me we can look for our local sea monster. He is called Caddy which is short for Cadborosaurus. He has been seen many times and I think he is more impressive than Okopogo. People from the Okanagan don't think so but we do. He is estimated to be between 50 and 100 feet long. His speed has been clocked at 40 knots (46mph). He appears serpent like with a head and neck similar to a horse. His colour ranges from blackish blue to gray brown. He loves to eat vegetables. We will take long walks on the beach with VIG and try to see him.

Last!!

Tina~in_ut said...

lol.....I WAS THE FIRST LAST!!! STOP IT!!!!~

Zona said...

The FIRST LAST? Huh? Isn't that like Jumbo Shrimp?

Tinkatia said...

Hi Tina - Are you sad you missed 69? I left it open for you.

Tinkatia said...

Maureen - I will pass on news as soon as I get it. VIG will arrive in Kuwait at 2:00 p.m Friday, Pacific Daylight time. She flew from Toronto to Frankfurt, Germany and then to Kuwait. She said it may be quite awhile before she can e-mail because she will have to get set up with a new adaptor for her computer. She also starts off with a lot of meetings.

Tinka said...

Kathy helped me set up a new account so that I can post again. I tried so many times with my old password I gave up. Now I will try this new password.
