Thanks for putting this group together. I agree the weather forcaster is cool! I have a weather page on my computer at work so I check during the day. I will need a lesson on the chat set up.

I can't believe we are here in a PIR group! I am concerned about it being 12/20/10. Does that mean they have to go straight to A school and don't get to come home with us?? So many questions. Thanks Kathy for starting this, you are very brave, LOL. I love the weather forecaster, it's so cool. Betsy, let me know if you need help with the address. Have to go to work. See you ladies soon :) Susan

Kathy-I know you all have gone to bed, I'm out here alone on CA time...well w/ Sara too. I just wanted to thank you for making us our VERY OWN GROUP!! It is SO awesome!! And I can't wait until we really get out chat room going...I was reading through the 12/3 group's chat and it will be SO much easier to keep track of our conversations. You Rock!! I am REALLY going to bed now...

OK figured it out. it's just in the wrong place, but you guys can see it here. Kathy-the 12/3 group has a blue line (like the comment wall one above) that says Welcome...it makes a separate section for their chat, weather, and countdown clock. Can you figure out how to do that, then you can copy the stuff below into the different section.

Kathy- I can only add it here... but you can go to get your own chat box and then copy the embed code. I picked the snowman background as it seemed the easiest to type over, I didn't see a "no background" option. AND I think it will fit better if it were not in the comment box.
Good Night,
Nancy

Kathy, Yes, I do have a habit of joining your groups first, don't I? lol Don't even think of not being together. I just can' think of that. I think I had a good night with the girls, but it was not easy. My older daughter is extremely sensitive and cries easily and my younger daughter is a lot tougher. We came to some compromises, but I just hope they both hold up their end of the bargain. We shall see. They are great young ladies, but both of them are really stressed about school, jobs, etc., so it's hard for them not to put their stress on the other one. I'm heading to bed, but thanks for telling me about the group. I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that we end up at GL together
