  1. May I have your prayers and good vibes one more time, my friends? Tomorrow Friday, very early in the morning, I'll have my second hand surgery (left hand). I hope everything goes as well as the right hand did. Thank you all!

      How did your surgery go, Evelyn? Inquiring minds would like to know! <3

      Dear friends. Thank you all very much for your prayers and positive thoughts. I love you!! Surgery went well but this time I had problems with the anesthesia and so I am not really up to par yet. But also this will pass. I am looking forward: now that I had surgery on both hands, everything can only get better. I am glad that I am not a squid... haha. See you soon again... Hugs

  2. What happened to Norm? (just curious... he was a goldmine of ideas)

      Denice,

       

      Oooooooh...... But now you have me curious....

      I thought there was more to it. There have been plenty of people, accused of being rude here, and at worse, they just have their posts edited. To be essentially purged from the boards, that takes a lot. I mean, they still let me post here, and I spew utter nonsense.

    4. Evelyne Schoenmann

      Evelyne Schoenmann

      I'am intrigued too. Denice, come spill it out!

      Chilly: can't find him....

      Benzine: nonsense is not the same as rude :-) (just pulling your leg)

  3. Back on track, hand in a cast, arm in a sling, stomach upset from narcosis and painkillers but... still alive. Thank you all so much for your healing thoughts. in my recent status update of sept 24th it says I got 13 comments but can read only 3. admin could you please let me read all 13? thank you

  4. Those spammers are an aweful nuisance!! Go get some respectable work guys and you won't have enough spare time to get on our nerves!

  5. All right, day before surgery. I will not be online much in the next few days. Will come back though as good as new...

      find a good phisical therapist now and do your exercises.

      This is a small easy surgery-no sweat.

      I'm overwhelmed! Thank you all so much for your kind words and your advice. I will keep you in the loop. September 25th I need all the prayers I can get from you. And to all who have to have surgery in the near future: all the best for a quick healing! Thinking of you too!

  7. I am still alive and kicking! Back from Asia and then from internet-less Italy. Thank you all for asking how I am doing! Love to all of you!!

      That's wonderful! You guys never get weather like that... how come you aren't allowed air conditioners? That's dangerous for the elderly in that kind of heat. :(

      You can find spam links in new member profiles. One thing you can count with spammers, they evolve and adapt.

    4. bciskepottery

      And a reminder, in dealing with the spam problem, we found that a lot of "guests" from the same IP codes from overseas looking through posts and profiles. Anything posted is scanned; so be careful about posting personal information.

  15. Obvara firing tomorrow. No kiln but a hopefully hot enough pit. Keep your fingers crossed please.

      I think I'd like to participate. Do they plan to say, at

      3:01 our time, or 15:01 your time make a 2 lb. cup on 3,2,1? Go! Then, we are on the honor system, to make one in less than 20 minutes.

    2. Evelyne Schoenmann

      Evelyne Schoenmann

      Alabama, I think no one would participate if the systtem would be 3,2,1, go - come back in 20 minutes... Did you already tell that you would participate? http://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/topic/7676-community-challenge-idea/
