I want some flowers too!

Post by Wendy »

I just want to say that I love the way this board is set up, it is just so user friendly. And all the neat stuff you can do is lots of fun. I have noticed the sunflowers under everyones names and that is so cool, I think I have it figured out that once you post 50 times, you get your first one and so on. I could be out to lunch though, but hopefully once I get to 50 fireworks will go off and there it will be next to my name. Cool, Tex.

Gentle hugs

I am really feeling my excursion yesterday, first the docs early and then I decided since I was vertical, I would go get the groceries for not just me, but my brother also. So all the lifting and carrying and so forth, hits me hit me like a tonne of bricks this morning. I have my alarm set, and hopefully I hear it, as I am going to my eye appointment at 2:30pm, and am driving myself, my brother gives me the car to use, so I am able to get around on my own. And since he is doing so poorly too, we are quite the pair. So they have to put some stuff in my eyes today to check for tears, k I am falling asleep at the keyboard, time to say bye.

Wendy,

The pictures are called avatars. Go to the bottom room on the Forum List and it tells you how to get one. You have to then go back to your "profile" screen. If you don't want any of the sample avatars that tex has provided, you can mail a photo to Wayne or Christine and they will scan it for you and put it in the avatar selections so you can choose it.

Don't feel dumb. Most of us needed help with this! Me especially!!!

Love,

Polly

P.S. The little balls on the left light up yellow when you have posted a certain number of times. After you get your first ball, you have to make double the number of posts to get your 2nd ball. And so on.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, one of the main reasons why I chose this board software, when I was trying to decide what to use, was because of all the bells and whistles that are available with it.

I figure if life is going to hand us a disease as unpleasant as MC, we'd better try to have a little fun wherever we can, to keep from going nuts.

Actually, I believe the first sunflower should light up when you get to 20 posts, and each one after that lights when you reach double the number of posts of the previous one.

I hope you have a great day.

Tex
