    CY - First of all YAY! Great news!!!!

    But I agree with Janis. Relax my friend....kick back and put your feet up. I have tons of stuff I should be doing right now, but here I sit, sipping coffee and playing on the puter.

    Again - congrats on the fabulous news!
    Cheers!

    Cheers to all on Labor Day!

    Me, I'm about to go into work - and labor! But it's holiday pay so why not? I need every extra cent I can get! Grandma will be watching Miss Avery and since it's nice out they should be able to play outside.

    I'm STILL trying to find a good/better job but until I do the plan is to take more family leave time (oh my boss is gonna love that - not! ) and deal with being stuck there that way.

    I promise to post a pic of the baby girl soon!

    Are there Casinos in Tulsa? Just curious...

    Yes, there are casinos in Tulsa, and all over Oklahoma. All Indian tribe owned. I have been supporting the Cherokee tribe now for about a year!

    But my CasinoGirl name actually came about during Pinkstock last month. Several of us from the boards met at PurpleMB's in upstate NY, where they also have Indian tribe casinos and I actually won some $$ for a change!!

    CY - congratulations on the great news!!

    Janice - where are those pictures you have been promising? and Donna how much $$$ did you win? I'm looking forward to making a little in Vegas in November - maybe Junie can teach me to play 3 card poker better.

    I'll have a drink to all of you on Sat at my son's wedding - cheers

    Okay, I am SO retarded! (sorry if that offends anyone!)

    I tried to add text after previewing but failed somehow. At least this time I posted them vertically instead of horizontally!

    Anyway, the first pic is of her 'reading' one of her favorite books (which is now lost!), the second was at the adoption agency picnic in July and the third is on her birthday, eating home-made tres leches cake (which was quite good if I do say so myself!).

    Just about the most beautiful lady around any parts!  What a smile!  Would love to be hearing her jabber, and coo.  Be sure to be taping those sweet sounds for posterity, Mommy.

    Well with this new format, I bet there will be lots more joining this thread! I may need to visit the liquor store before venturing too far.

    Hey Donna - I won money this afternoon coming home from Stillwater.

    Janice - Avery is precious! I remember reading  when you first adopted her.

    Off to find some booze!

    OMG!!! WTF??? Where are my icons????????????? I swear I'm not drunk but I'm about to GET drunk as that's the only way I'll be able to deal with this new frickin' format! I was reading and reading after Liz' post and then figured out it wasn't the drinking thread anymore - UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yell

     Anyway, unless something changes here - for the better - I won't be posting much anymore. I need my life to be LESS complicated not MORE complicated! Thankfully I was able to post the pics last night just before the site went down.YellYellYellYellYell

     Cheers! It's Vanille Royale tonight..... Tongue out

    Janis - Avery is just darling!  I just want to squeeze her!  Now that you've become an expert picture poster, we expect to see more!

    I guess I'm not CasinoGirl anymore. 

    Liz, since you're a big winner, maybe you can be CasinoGirl now!

    I used the "user name" from before, which was different than my screen "user name" and now I'm stuck with DKFortner dammit!

    Okay - this warrants opening a bottle of wine.  (like I need an excuse.)

    Cheers,

    Donna (aka CasinoGirl)

    Sam - I wasn't a big winner in NY, however I was down $100 (big money for me) and put one last $5 bill in a quarter slot and on the second pull won $268!  I cashed that baby in and said "Thank You Jesus"!

    I got the name CasinoGirl (which apparently is no longer available to me) because nobody recognized me from pics that were taken at Pinkstock and IMMEDIATELY posted on the boards.  Somehow the story got to be that DebAlaska and ChristineK met me at the casino and I followed them back to Pinkstock.  That nobody knew WHO I was..  That they made the mistake of feeding me and I wouldn't leave....so I became known as CasinoGirl.

    Why do all my posts have "edit" at the bottom.  Shit I'll never figure this out sober.  I need to get that bottle of wine opened!

    Okay, now I am REALLY confused!!! I clicked on 'new' under 'humor' as Donna/CasinoGirl had posted and when I clicked on her name I got her profile and all the posts she made (today?). This absolutely sucks, no humor at all here. Then I could figure out how to reply to her last humor post!

    I'm gonna go read now because this is no longer fun...

     Y'all know how to find me. I'll be drinkin' alone and thinkin' about y'all.....   :(

    As a person who tries to find the positive in a shitty situation - at least our drinking thread is closer to the top now.  It's like we got a promotion! 

    I don't have enough wine in the house to figure this out tonight.....maybe tomorrow I'll be smarter  Tongue out

    ok, drinking buds--just checking to see if I can add a post here.  New format will take some adjusting--it will just take time for them to iron out the kinks!   Lots of frustrations being posted everywhere--but I remember everyone was up in arms last time they had a major overhaul.   sigh!  just when I'm getting used to something, it changes!

     Janis--Avery is one cute little lady!   She looks so happy--thanks for sharing some photos with us.  Give her a hug from aunt junie!

     Between more storms and the changes in the boards, I might have to fall off the ML wagon and head for something heavier!  Have lots of wine on hand for company coming in tomorrow--maybe will have to "approve" some of it ahead of time!   Talk to y'all soon!!!!   Keep laughing--this will hopefully be old hat soon!!!

    Donna, you can go back in your profile and change the user name back to casino girl if you want to.

    Janis, Little Miss Avery is growing up! What a doll I love her smile.

    I tried to post some pics after I figured out how to get back into the site and couldn't get them to post. I'll give it a few more days then try it again. Hopefully they can get these bugs worked out.

    Drinking an OJ staright up tonight.

    Aw Girlfriends- I have no idea where I am or if I am posting this right- too much new stuff here. My computer is still really screwed up. I think it is my wireless router now??? Who knows.

    I jusyt got home from catering a party for which they said was for 350 ppl, I do believe it was more like 500 ppl!!! Two of the 4 bars went thru 6 btls of vodka in 2 hrs. Arrrghhhh! I was playing catch-up all night. Just like I have been trying to do w/ this site and my computer problems. Who knows if I'll ever find my way around this new thing.

    Donna- I am sorry Casino Girl has gone missing!!

    Avery is so beautiful!

    C'mon with that new baby Junie. We can meet at my restaurant for drinks and apps and go to the Casino after- are you game?

    ChristineK and Crissy--St Louie gals.....looks like we will be heading your way this Thurs, unless things change!  C-section scheduled for Fri a.m..........have your numbers and will call you after the dust settles!   I am so excited to think about meeting up with you two again, and sweet DH so excited about his first grandbaby!    We are one excited mess!!!

    RAIN, rain--go away....we noticed a leak in our family room last night!   Not a big problem, BUT WE JUST HAD A NEW ROOF PUT ON a couple months ago trying to avoid such problem.   I am beside myself with all else that's going on!   I am not a very good "chill out" personality, so am driving DH crazy!   Ready to meet the roofer with a shotgun!

     Hope all have had a great weekend........we've spent the weekend with a dear friend for many years and his new girlfriend--who is certifiably nuts......has been quite stressful and boards not long enough to chat about it!   I get a gold medal, crown, pat on the back for living through it and keeping my mouth shut (mostly!)

    huggggssssssss to all..............junie

    Junie,

    Congrats! (when it happens, of course!) And, good luck with the roof! Can you call them and ask them "WTF?"  :0

    I hate this new format as the gray is just horrible and now as I write it's in LARGE TYPE (as I see it) and I don't need large type - yet! What I need is a drink!!! :p

    Anyway, I have seen some 'improvements' (basically things as they used to be!) but I don't come here every day anymore just because it's too difficult and thus aggravating for me and I don't need either of those things in my life.

    Well, cheers to all and I'll check in occasionally just because and I'm sure there will be a new baby picture the next time I do! :)

    Jaybird

    Oh, and Go Bears!!! (losers...)

    Hey everyone-

    Checking in to see if this is stil running.

    Junie, I am working Fri night and Sat (12p-4p) but available the rest of the weekend. Call me, when you think we meet up.

    Off to Beddy Bye.

    Geez - I leave for a few days and come back and my how things have changed.  This font must be for the legally blind!!

    My son got married Saturday and everything went off without a hitch - except a nephews girl friend and one of my old high school friends both got polluted and put on quite a show.  We managed to float 2 kegs and started on a third along with 2 cases of liquor and 3 cases of champagne.  I was the dd so I drank early in the evening.  Instead of selling the brides shoes (don't know if you all do that or not) the bestman put on a Burger King man costume (you know the scarry one) and came onto the dance floor and threw the bride over his shoulder and took her outside and held her for ransom until the other groomsmen had collected enough $$ to get her released.  It was so funny.

    Junie & Christine, hope you guys can meet up - I'm looking forward to seeing Junie and Brenda in November in Vegas. 

    Janice - Avery is so cute, you must be so proud of her!!!

    WoW! Sam!  Sounds like my kind of wedding!   Glad it was a wonderful time...and, looking forward to Vegas!!!

    Crissy and ChristineK--packed and heading St Louie way tomorrow.  But, my heart is just breaking...I went to add something to my suitcase in the spare bedroom and the damn dog is in there laying on the suitcase--he knows he's not going with us so he is pouting!   He'll probably crap in the suitcase after I go to bed to make his point!!!

    I'm still trying to get used to this new format, but it will eventually be okay!

    Talk to you all in about a week--meantime, bar and house is open here, even if I'm gone!   Y'all have a good one!!!!

    hugggsssssss, junie
