Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

So, what do your girls thinks about our 'adoption'?

Hope you and your girls had a very wonderful, outstanding, stupendous, outrageous, spectacular, amazing, fabulous, etc etc day!!!!
They are of the same mindset as your cousin - the more the merrier! Think they feel like they have gotten to know you & sis, just like I do. Soon, that will be true in every sense, since we will actually get to spend time together - can hardly wait!!

M&M were to tickled and touched by everyone's birthday wishes! It was your "other" sister who started the whole thing - bless her heart!

I am taking Gary's advice, and in the process of saving all the messages into a word document, so they can put them in their scrapbooks & have the memories on paper as well as their hearts & minds. They will also see the ones that were posted after they went to sleep.

how were you able to track it?

Marlboro customer service provided me with the specific "order number" that they use internally to track each prize/gift. I simply used that number in the UPS tracking system as the "reference" number in lieu of the normal UPS tracking number.

I was able to visit my sister this evening after errands and she told me she got the greetings going. It's great to have her on board now on FF and think she really enjoys it as much as I do. Sure wish she was able to come down for the festivities! Another time, I'm sure.

We're all family here and it's very special indeed.

Great idea about keeping all the greetings for scrapbook!!

Wow! You guys & gals all rock! Thank you for being so thoughtful & wishing my girls a happy birthday!

It's been a very good day! After making the girls' BD cake, checked my email and found 2 congratulations emails. Nothing big, but I'm happy!

I won 4 shopping tote bags from Nature's Made, and a $50 gift card to ProFlowers.com! I'm gonna' get myself some Mother's Day flowers & have my girls give them to me.

Then, had 4 little envelopes of freebies in the mail - Joe Ragan's coffee, Physician's Formula Mineral Wear, Weleda Citrus Refreshing body oil, and another tote bag that comes in the cutest little drawstring bag (got it for being one of the 1st 500 to register for a contest).

Almost feels like my birthday today too!
Way to go and good for you!! I'm sure it ain't easy raising kids on your own even though you wouldn't give it up for anything!! Nice to get some goodies for yourself, especially on a day when you're spending so much time to make two other's day absolutely wonderful!

Yes, it was a good idea. I'm so glad Gary suggested it. I'm almost half way through the 30+ messages!

It really was a fun day! I did all I could to make it special for my girls, and of course, all of you helped with that. Getting the 2 wins, and all the freebies in the mail really did make it feel like my birthday too - and the big ole' piece of chocolate cake did too! laugh out loud

I imagine they already do wonder! laugh out loud But, they knew what a great group of folks you all are, from me talking about you all - and found it out for themselves today!

When I copy the links, in the word document you CTRL & Click, and it brings the site up - so I can save the songs, and links to the animated .gifs too. Pretty slick!

Quote from julesp29 :
Katie where are you? It is okay to let what the girls thought of their shirts on here. Not a secret we all know they where getting them. Just so glad they got them today. Weird I got the notice they were just shipped and you got them today. Tell us abot them and if the girls liked them or not.
The girls wanted to know whether you wanted them to share their thank you's on the forum. It was due to them stating "Mom, you know how grownups are with their privacy." They also said how do we know whether she wants to see it first.

It was so hard not to laugh at them. I don't think they understand what a forum is??

I think the girls said they will be done with their thank you's by Wednesday evening.
hug
