OK - Officially computers suck I looked at my post and the animated GIF was replaced by an AD -- this is not a user issue

I assume no one can see my singing animated GIF of the 12 days of Christmas, so you need to go with plan B

So long as the virtual beer wall holds out -

STEP #1 - Drink a 12 pack from the wall or whatever it takes to get a virtual buzz on!

STEP #2 - Imagine that my computer skills worked and you saw the best animated GIF that you have ever seen

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jo, thanks for asking,, no word yet, it was a hectic day and I hope to find time to call Miss Holly tomorrow and get an update. Even my husband is now getting excited and pointing out mini's when he spots them on the road... There are a ton of them along the Main Line.

FYI- Sarasota is absolutely beautiful in March!
Miniola, good questions and insight!! I don't know much about those two modalities that you listed. As far as I know those are forms of energy bodywork and a mixture of "shiatsu" type processes along the body's meridians,, yin and yang.
A lot of these are basically simlar in that they help reset the sympathetic nervous system and get the afflicted person out of the flight or fight syndrome. Climbing off my soap box now,,,, does anyone know what beer we are on?? I invited some guys over from another thread,, hope there are some suds left!!

Hey!!! Yay!!! Congratulations!!! What an awesome holiday announcement!
If it is a girl, you just know what you should name her, right?
And, no, not "The Great Pumpkin"

Since I will be unable to follow the next 10 days of excitement on this thread, I wish everyone on the thread following "As the mini turns", a safe, happy, and blessed Christmas. Going to see Mickey with the kids then going to visit my mom-in-law

Who knows where this thread will be in another 10 days

Skillet - Good luck and I hope Santa brings you everything on your Christmas list - especially the Mini

Keep enjoying the popcorm as we all wait!

I'm counting on everyone to continue the virtual beer fest...

Consider the next beer gone (I've lost count) and toasted in your honor

Have a wonderful family trip,,, Happy Holidays, we will wait for you to return to our little group!!

Every forum site needs a totally random thread, and I guess this'll be it for NAM.

I'll be heading down to Florida myself for the next couple of weeks. I've made sure everywhere I'm staying has Internet access so I can keep abreast of "As the Mini Turns"

Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I'll be in Florida from 12/24 until 1/3 I'll be in and around Delray Beach in Palm Beach County. If any of you see a Mini that looks like the one in my signature, try to keep up!

Wow! So many of you are coming here... have fun and enjoy!

Sorry, you'll have to buy your own box of oranges... nothing's FREE! Well except for one Classic Mini... that's orange.

My background is PT/OT but I haven't done any of it in quite a few years. Maybe I'll pm you sometime.

Absolutely,,, I would like that. PT/OT.... very impressive. It is a shame what insurance companies have done to that field,,, I have a client that was referred from a PT that said I could probably do a more thorough job with the MFR since I wouldn't have the time constraints that she has.
Of course the poor client has to pay=== no insurance coverage working with a mere CMT or LMT :(

time to call it a night...... wishing I had a good little sleepy smiley to insert here.... ( thanx miniola!)

Whoa, what!? Am I missing something here? Last I knew his name was Brady...there better not be another one coming

Oh, are you talking about a name for the Mini? I still think Martha was the most fitting of them all. The Great Pumpkin... My current MINI's name is Charlie. So it would be Charlie & Martha sitting in the garage...ah, what a beautiful sight.

Fantastic Show, i have seen them 4 years counting, and never tire of them.

The very first year, (before they became well known) we saw them in a very little theater - it was amazing...
the following years after the venues just get bigger!

I recommend the show also to anyone thinking about it...

Holly is usually off on Wednesdays!!! I' excited for you!

regarding the husband comment- let me tell you it only gets worse from here. Mine was so calm until Nugget actually got home, then it started slowly with "can I drive the weekends"... to waiting in the drive way friday nights for me to get home, so he could "take her for a spin"... then "Road Trip" turned into a $500+ fine for speeding.....

He is now grounded for 6 months!!! no Nugget for him!!!

Ha! I feel like a nut most of the time!

I like the "part time over time... some time any time"... that's good.

PT is Physical Therapy and OT is Occupational Therapy. It's actually probably a good thing that you didn't know what it was.

BTW- Did you read my post about the meteor showers? (shower of one? ). I thought you would have been trying to see them... considering your stage name.
