Don’t worry, Oodie, we will be sending rainbows, spoonbills and prayers from all areas the beginning of January.🌈🦩🙏 Just like we did for Ms. Sheba. You got this!✨💗

Sure hope you had a wonderful Christmas.✨ It was a busy two days here and now it is over, so quick. The restaurant we went to on Christmas eve was always an upscale dining place but, wow, did the prices go up. I enjoy a great dinner out now and then but this was highway robbery,😲 especially the wine,🍷 lol! Will look into another place for next year.

SIL in Atlanta does not have covid but a bad virus. She is home but was at the hospital on Christmas eve because she couldn’t find a home covid test. Will have to wait this out. BIL is as good as can be expected, will be going for dialysis three times a week for a few months. My neighbor has a cold, he lives alone, so I checked on him and he’s better but his brother and sister’s family have covid so he went nowhere for the holiday. It was exactly one year ago that my husband was lucky to get covid. Enough with the health statistics!😕

I’m sure you are getting ready for the game.🏈 I will be cheering for the Chiefs. Having leftovers for dinner, feel like a piece of Oodie’s pizza right now after two days of big meals.🤪

Hi and a Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope the day went well and everyone loved the gifts that “Santa” brought.

I remember that one of the last times you posted you were having a computer glitch. I hope that situation is now remedied and if not, if there is a way for you to post one of us may be able to help.

Really miss you.

Oodie

I am a real old timer with HSN. I started watching them soon after they were on the air. At that time I had a small, 12″ colored tv in the living/great room with rabbit ears on top. We also had an outdoor antenna. I remember one day trying to see what I could get on this TV with the rabbit ears and kept clicking one station after another. One day, I was able to get a Massachusetts channel and lo and behold there was a shopping network. And it wasn’t QVC. It was very interesting. Bobbi Rae was on and so was Bob Circosta (sp). Then came Mel who at one time was a pharmacist and the M&M guy as well as Tom Wise. This station did not come in everyday, but when it did, it was loud and clear and I enjoyed watching for the few hours I could get it. At the time, mom was able to get Cable and loved QVC which is now embedded in her TV set which is at the Cape. Long story short, they finally had an auction site on the internet and what fun that was since gong with cable i was unable to get the channel. They had QVC. When we were finally able to get the channel the first thing I watched was Colleen Lopez with the premiere of Jay King. Jay at that time, believe it or not, did not say much. He was absolutely nervous. Anyway, yearly there were changes made to eventually the Community started. I do remember the smiles and I believe it was an automatic thing when you completed your entry. In those days there was even a way to talk to people individually with an e-mail within that area. Of course quite a number of changes occurred when the new regime took over. I just wish we had a way to communicate like we used to. It really enabled us to reach out and that e-mail never went out to the community.

Hope you are having a great day. By the way, my mam is the first week in January. I will be making the appointment for the booster in a day or two. I will be scared to death the day of the Mam as usual. Hope to see a rainbow or something to say all is well.

I cannot remember playing Trivia on Christmas eve. It seems I used to send a post to the Mods on a yearly basis asking if we would have a game that night and if not, how about doubling the points when we are up and running again. And, we did get those doubles. Sometimes it was for all 6 answers others it was either added to the first or last question. For the most part we did have a game on New Years Eve. However, remember that the Tech unit only works until 5 pm and do not work weekends. Also, under the old regime, the games were up and running and shopping was at a minimal. The 24 hours were used to update the web site and to add /repair games in the Arcade, though you could still play. Quite a number of changes were made in those few hours. I assume that those changes were already in the computer so all they had to do was to download and make sure they ran correctly. Also, the Arcade team answered you directly when you e-mailed them. It was nice back then to obtain an answer and not be left in the dark. I could go on and on. But I really need to do the laundry. So time out for now.

Hi and a Merry Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for the recipe. You mentioned walnuts, but chestnuts actually seem to taste better in a stuffing. Some are actually sweet to t he taste. The consistency is softer than a walnut. Only the difficulty in shelling are similar. I may be close, but it is still no cigar if you get my drift.

We rested all day yesterday and had pizza for dinner with the leftovers for breakfast. For some reason our health insurance does not cover the pain killer for hubby’s knee and he refuses to pay out of pocket. So tomorrow I will contact the doctor’s office in hopes that there is something else he can try. I also did some research yesterday and found that the same group by name only is in the Northeast. I am now wondering if we would be better off leaving here when we said and continue up there. They also have a 5 star rating and all medical information can be sent to them via computer. Of course parking can be the big issue especially in Boston.
Parking not an issue here. There is a free shuttle that takes you to either the medical building or to the hospital. Boston has very limited parking and most hotels to not have a shuttle service. But, I will still look nevertheless and then put it on the back burner.

Today I ordered the origami smart deal from HSN in white. I have been looking for a bookcase for years and hopefully, this will help to get a few books off the shelf. At least on this one I will not need a screwdriver or a hammer to put it together. And, best part, forget the directions that are sometimes useless and in a different language. I will probably kick myself later for not ordering two. This one is for the bedroom. The other could easily fit in our living room. I see there is also one for dvds and cds.

Hope you are having a relaxing day. Nice outside. Too bad that laundry beckons.

@kittengirl,

Always in our hearts and prayers. 💕✨

Happy New Year my friend. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast I hope you and hubby are doing well today. 😎😘

Oodie do you remember when HSN had all those fake smiles and numbers on each post?
I don’t miss them it caused a lot of confusion and sometimes numbers were done on
purpose many times. That is the only part of HSN I do not miss. 😜

I am just remembering HSN of old and how I miss some of the wonderful things that used to
be a part of this great Community. ✨ I know a lot of people are sick and have serious issues
with family members being sick also. I come here everyday for the past eight years on this
thread and try to make something different and let people smile. 😎💕

Oodie have a good day and some good eats. ✨😘

Oodie in less than a week we will be in a New Year may 2022 be a much safer and better
year for us all. ✨💕

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida thank you for posting yesterday and I know it was a busy day. ✨
Take it all in and relax I hope your friends and neighbors enjoy your wonderful treats.

My neighbors loved mine and I had a nice Christmas. 🌹💕

I want to thank you and all the girls for being so nice it is appreciated. I work very hard on
this thread and I have never patted myself on the back I know it is different and that is the
whole point. 😜I also do other threads in the HSN Community. It’s sad the Community is
not what it use to be. I miss the ole HSN. 💕

defg,

@ddshoppy,

@loaf,
