I'm a happy man now My sweetie Beth is back I miss you too Beth!! How have you been? I think everyone is very busy lately including me.
I am all dug out with the snow, but now we are going to get ice!!! on Tuesday.
Just in the middle of writing one more hub and all of a sudden my mind froze up Writers block I have to finish, because I hate leaving a hub unfinished.
No sweetie my wife and sister always ask me that same question :lol and wonder where i get all these words in my mind?
I really have no idea Sophie were they come from. Of course it is on addiction as always. It helps me stay on the straight and narrow and knowing that one hub may help someone with an addiction like my past.
I finishes dear so I'm going to hit the sack. I hope I see you in a few hours when I wake Check it out if you want I just published it.
No it isn't a waste of time my friend. This is a way that we all keep intouch with each other and share our lives via web. I have met so many wonderful and beautiful people here and now are great friends of mine.
We don't care about being last because in our eyes (all of us) we are all WINNERS here in this forum, so you are welcome to stay my friend and share your thoughts if you like/
Mark, I can always count on you for a weather update! Here I am, not knowing it was going to be so warm tomorrow. It's been raining all day today! I'm about to turn into a frog! Too bad I have to go to work tomorrow. I could have gone to the beach!
I don't think there is any competition for all of Marky's hubs. He is way ahead and I wouldn't want to try to catch up.
Nice to see you here tonight. I noticed your comment on the banned thread. Cardelean is my daughter and she joined a short while ago. I'm so happy she is here on hubpages. Catch my hub about 'circle...' Don't want to say to much here or I will really get banned! But, it's so much fun having her and my sister who also joined: Danette Watt. We now have more to talk about than ever!
How are you doing? I'm going to bed...early for work tomorrow and it is almost midnight. Brand new year...I'm trying to start better sleep habits. Best to you tonight.
Hello Denise. Hows my girl tonight or should I say day for you Yea everything so far is running smooth and settlement maybe this Friday. Pretty darn fast right?
Boy I wish I lived closer. I would over to enjoy that chilli with you
It is snowing right now and then in a few hours it will change to freezing rain and by the middle of Tuesday turn to all rain. I'll believe that when I see it. They say 40's on Tuesday, but if it is in the 40's it goes into the 20's or teens at night so all that water will now be ICE.
I'm going to hit the hay. I started a hub about 1/2 hour ago, but I just don't have it in me tonight. I have too much on my mind. I may need a massage or something to relax me. I used to drink to relax me but that's no more for me as you know.
Good night Marky... great development on the home front for you...i am sure you are excited... you sound pretty tired... you should hit the sack soon... and no getting up at three and hubbing some more...i did notice that activity:)
Miss you too! Good Luck to you on the settlement!! Love and God Bless!
Well first off, Been writing every night. I should sign up for the 30/30 Hub Challenge
Bought a house by the Bay for my retirement home, just waiting on settlement and being approved from the land owner 55+ community . If that goes through I have my (HOME BY THE SEA) finally after 30 years of marriage. We are very excited Steve. Other than that just working and writing
That's great Mark. Congratulations, I'm very happy for you and your family then. Your very lucky, as I can imagine having a house by the sea must offer a great view. By the way, i loved the hub you wrote about your daughter. it was a very touching piece. however, i forgot to comment in it. sorry. i did rate it up though.
Thanks Steve !!! That means so much to me My family always, since I was a young child had a home on the Bay. I was brought up at the Shore and now my dream is now coming true. My Mom always said to me "Mark, your ship will come in someday" and she was right, It has arrived
Yep, that's true. Well just try to enjoy life while you can, as every moment we have in this world is precious. Anyways, i trust you've been taking good care of the girls while i've been away?
Hi Marky! you do more than 30:30 I guess, so why limit yourself. How have you been today? I hope you had a great day and I guess you are writing your heart out now!! See you around later.
Hi Marky-how are you tonight? How's the writing going?
I'm checking the hubmob topic before going back to the grindstone. Makes a long day working 12 hrs and coming home to write. Probably be up until after midnight!!
basically what the title implies, the last person that posts here is the winner, but it's really more of the main online forum where everyone comes to hang out and chat.
pretty impressive website. i didn't know you had one already. how does blogger work by the way? I always been kind of curious, as i never used it before. do you just write the same way you do on hubpages, i take it?
Me Too! I love the beach and wish I were on it right now. Especially after the kind of day I had at work. I had a pt hit me with the reciever of a phone and then try to body slam me. Nice work, huh!
Hey Mark! Yes, you should go for 30 for 30; that's how I began my writing here. It's great, especially if you are already writing one per night! It's great exposure because you can post your link in the 30 for 30 thread.
Hunker down for your snow storms! It's -30C here (I think that it's about -20ishF).
Good Morning Beth. Hope you are nice and warm and cuddlely. It's not too bad weather wise, but the storm is bruing for tonight after midnight
I'm going to try and stay on bottom for as long as I can. I think I will check into that 30/30, but I might wait until after my settlement on shore house. I have too much on my mind right now.
wow what a story... Mark I am sure people are inspired by you all the time!! Glad that your dream has come true... Good things come to those who are good... I am thrilled for ya.. hey post some pictures of you home once you get there...........
You got it... I will do that but I a little fixing up to do first but no big deal, I'm used to that. every house we lived in had to be fixed up, but it good for us. We make these homes just the way we like it.
I have a question...when is the contest supposed to be over? And...since I usually lose at every contest, there's a good chance, for once, that I won't come in dead last LOL.
Your answer is......Never Me, the Hubgirls and all my other great friends will be here till we are old and gray You are welcome to stay around if you wish.
We are preparing for our 1st Spring/Summer cruise,
Whats up Steve. Feel like I am in Canada with Beth for gosh sake. It is bad here. how have you been. I'm gonna need some help getting the yacht in shape for the Hubgirls
Not much. Just relaxing after a hard day at work. nothing special. hopefully, we can get the yacht ready so we can go on that cruise with the lovely girls on here. So hows the website working out for you thus far?
I haven't written anything lately but have here on HP only 1 1/2 hubs tonight. Been on the phone with reality office about settlement on shore house etc. so I am going to leave these beautiful girls in your hands so I can get a few ZZZZZ's ok. I have total trust in you that you will take the best care of them as you can
Have a good night Steve and hopefully talk to you tomorrow
Denise I just woke up from my 2 hour cat nap :lol;. It 3 am and I'm wide awake you are doing great with the 30/30. You will get the 30 just don't beat yourself up over it.
I did 1 1/2 and couldn't think any more . I'm heading back to bed
@ Steven -- Hey sweetness! Miss you! xoxo How are you?
@ Mark -- Congrats! I'm colder than you are -- it's -21C right now and tonight, it's dropping to -33C. Tomorrow with a high of -21C (air temp) plus wind chill!!! I think I need some clothing....
@ Sophs -- how's our beautiful girl? So lovely in pink!
@ W.K.H. -- ha ha, you've joined the group of No-Losers Here Tonight!
@ Denise -- 30 for 30 is not a suppose to be a stressor!!! When I did it, I wrote 15 the first 7 days, took the next 14 days off, and finished the last 15 the last 9 days! When it pours, it rains (oops, other way around I guess! )
@ Megs - welcome aboard!
Have a great day y'all!! I'm going out shopping for some clothing so I can stay warm!! (Yeah, only a Canadian would go out when it's -21C!!! ha ha ha there's a reason for being a Crazy Canuk!!!! ) xox
Hi Beth! Doing good but missing the sunshine. We've had a few days of clouds and rainstorms. Going out tonight. Last night was my wedding anniversary. We are heading to South Beach to have dinner. My husband wants to catch live rock music. I'm trying to convince him so that we may have a more secluded, less noisy, romantic evening. MEN!!!
Hi everyone, just finished #19 of the 30 in 30 challenge.
@Marky--I know, I know...the stressor is NOT the writing, believe me. The stressor is having to work and wanting to write instead, It gets in my way. Esp. since I am doing those doggone 12 hr shifts. I get up at 5:30 a.m. to be there and ready to start for report at 7 a.m. I don't get off until close to 8 pm; get home, eat dinner or cook and eat; then I'm too pooped out to write. BUT, instead of going to bed and sleeping I push myself to stay up until midnight. Oh well, that's my life for now, I suppose.
I skipped going to the gym today to work on hubs. But, I did have a relaxing day and actually watched a movie: The Social Network about Mark Z the co-founder of Facebook. Well worth watching.
Have a good eve everyone.
Klara-Happy Anniversary and I hope you get your wish for how to spend the eve
Denise you are a little busy is see. I feel the same as you regarding , I much rather write than do my job at work. That's what I call addicted to HP. I love it though and it certainly help me to stay of a even keel (no drink) thank God.
Anyway, you have plenty of time left in the month to finish your 30/30 .I imagine with waking up so early and working 12 hours and then have to drive home is rough.
There are only 24 hours in a day and it's not enough right just take it slow and don't run yourself down and get sick please.
Maybe take one day of just for yourself and relax and you will feel refreshed and like new again.
Y'all have to come on up north of the 49 for a visit! The weather is incredible today!!! It's bright, sunny with clear skies. Wind from the NW with a current temperature (get this...) -38F!!! Now, add the wind chill, and we can hunker down and have a really nice visit!!
Ugh! Have to take the dogs out for their walk and I'm not all too pleased about it..... neither are they. They wouldn't go past the front door earlier -- I couldn't even pull them out! So, I thought mother nature is smarter than I am, and shut the door again. But that's been 4 hours ago, and now I have to take them out since they're not toilet trained!!
@ Mark -- yup, went shopping for a bit yesterday but came home with no warm clothes for me!!! Now I wish I did.
@ Steve -- glad to hear you're doing good.
Oh, off to walk the dogs now... If no one hears from me within the next 24 hours, send some heat up my way to thaw me from the snowbanks!!!
Please be careful out in that frigid cold. May be if you have a real long leash you can open the front door and stand in the door way and let doggies do their duty, this way they will hurry up and go and you will still be warm
Here is in the teens with about 20-30 MPH winds and I have a dog too and he doesn't like the cold either.
Let us know when you are in safe and sound. This weather all over the world is crazy I know. Klara is the smart one here not me.
I should of bought my beach home in Florida and not in NJ
Hello my friends. I'm sitting writing one more hub and I have a question for you. It seems like I have posted about 20 hubs in the month of January, The question is is too late to shoot those hubs over to the forum 30/30 or do you have to sign up for that. I feel I can get the 30 by end of Jan.
@ Mark - As far as I know, the 30/30 is informal and you can begin on any day you choose but the only requirement is that you complete the 30 within the 30 days. I don't see why you can't do this. The one I had participated in was the first one and it was more formal. Everyone had a specific date to start and a specific date to finish.
I know some writers had banked hubs, but not published, until the 30/30 began. Then, they just published and posted the link.
It's -29 at the moment, and I'm off to work!! Have a wonderful day y'all!
Darn I am sorry I missed you Denise. How is the writing going dear?
I'm writing right along with you till the early morning hours
For someone that hated school I can't believe how much I love to write now being older. Isn't it funny houw life changes ? All to the better I might add:)
Sleep well Denise and Big Hugs and Kisses to you !!!
JUST ONE QUESTION:How in the world do you keep that score up in the high 90's ?? I can't go above 94 for the life of me
Hi Marky-I'm still up but closing shop now. I just posted #24 for the hubchallenge and it's all about those comfort foods we like to eat. Thanks for the smooch and hugs. I sure needed that tonight!
Next three days: 12 hrs and long. Not looking forward to it, but it pays the bills.
I don't have an answer to your question...I just write and play a little on Sandpit, comment on a few hubs-much less so now that I am writing like a mad woman. So, it is a mystery. Or a crap shoot. Never know where the dice will fall.
I hear it is very cold in your neck of the woods. Stay bundled up. Lord knows you won't get any warmth at the cemetary,
Yea you are right no warmth there for sure. Congrats on your 24 Denise and as I am writing this I too just finished one more, but not on food, just food for thought you know what I mean!
yea it's very cold here BUT it should be 41 tomorrow. I think I will open the pool and get the boat ready to sail
Good luck on your 3 12's that's a shame. They are long days for sure.
My darn score now went to 90 from 94 this afternoon. I don't get it. I play on sandpit. I answer questions and comment and write every single night. I can't figure it out. I hope I don't get into the 80's because that would upset me big time. Haven't seen 80,s for 6 months
Good night my Dear and stay warm and get your rest. We have a big summer ahead of us
Denise Congrats again 100 way to go!!!!!! How do you did it and work so many hours. 8 PM now and just got home from shore. Had settlement and all is well except the pouring out of the sky ICE, SNOW. It is bad here
15 inches to come and my top speed coming home was 30MPH in 4x4
Home safe that's all that matters
Stay warm Denise and let me know how you get those 100's
hey Steve Hows everything. Guess what? i have settlement tomorrow on the shore house. Wow it went so fast. I found out that this morning and then 1 hour later my other realtor called and said I have a offer on the house I live in. 2 great things in one day.
I wrote a hub a long time ago saying God helps those that help them self. Well , see I quit my horrible addiction over one year ago and look how everything is falling in place just perfect.
Wow, congratulations mark, as im so happy for you. By the way, I started editing my information on blogger like you suggested. However, I'm still debating on what to write on there. lol. However, im sure i'll think of something though.
@Beth100
And congratulations to you Beth for finishing another great hub. It's great to see your still writing on hubpages, as i know it can't be easy for you with a busy schedule and all.
I have set myself a little task (or it might be a massive task, if the 99th person has many hubs!) to read their hubs and leave a genuine comment on every hub i read of the 99th person to post!The prize is obviously that i will read all their hubs and leave a comment on every one of the hubs...
Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumWere two of the best-kind of chums.All day long they'd laugh and play.___________________________.No holds barred!!Go for it!!ProCW
This has been perplexing me for a while - has something changed or have I just gone ga-ga?Being in a different time zone from most Hubbers, I rely on being able to click the "Your" button to catch up with who's posted on threads since I commented.Recently I've been missing comments...
