Good morning gatherers! It is officially the day before Christmas and I hope that for those of you who need to buy gifts, everything is done. I went out last night with Heather up to a nearby housing area where the houses are wonderful and the light displays magnificent. We had a great time. How about you? What are your plans today and tomorrow?

Good Morning Everyone!
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 10:55am EST
How is your day going?
Michelle P. Dec 24, 2007, 10:55am EST
I have already baked the cupcakes. I have a lot of wrapping & organizing to do still. I need to get the house clean & we have church tonight at 5pm.
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 10:58am EST
Good morning Dan & Michelle!
I have banana bread cooking in the oven right now
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 10:58am EST
Good morning Michelle. You're welcome to bring cupcakes over but I prefer brownies.
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 10:59am EST
Morning Priscilla, why is everyone cooking such great food?
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 10:59am EST
then I will be making some cookies - peanut butter & chocolate chip ones.
Then this evening I will make deviled eggs for an appetizer tomorrow
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 10:59am EST
Oh I love tohave some wonderful baking for Christmas time!
Some of my items will be Christmas presents though....
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:00am EST
Morning Karl, done with the gardening?
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:00am EST
Oooh, deviled eggs sound great.
JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:00am EST
Good Morning Dan, It's nice to see you. I'm downloading yet another program to find out why my computer runs so slowly. It has been a frustrating morning. I am getting used to that though. I'm glad you had a nice evening. That is something I miss doing.
Mary M. Dec 24, 2007, 11:00am EST
Mornin'! We are watching holiday movies and later I have to wrap a ton of gifts!
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:00am EST
Hi Karl!

Dan, what are your plans for toady?
Otelia S. Dec 24, 2007, 11:01am EST
Good Morning Everyone.
I'm just looking forward to watching the smiles on my daughters faces when they open their presents in the morning.
Merry Christmas to all
I mean no disrespect if you don't celebrate.
Mary M. Dec 24, 2007, 11:01am EST
The kids are watching "How to Eat Fried Worms" over and over on the premium channel. Somebody save me.
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:01am EST
Morning JoAnne, have you defragmented your computer yet? Also, free up space. If there is little space on the computer, it'll grind to a halt.
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:01am EST
my deviled eggs are even better, I dice up jalapenos (not real hot ones) and put them in the mixture - when I take them to potlucks they are gone so fast!

Good morning Mary!
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:02am EST
Hey Mary, what movies do you want to watch?
Mary M. Dec 24, 2007, 11:02am EST
Hi Priscilla. :)
JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:02am EST
I'm taking a short cut, I have a frozen apple pie and a Chocolate Cake to bake for the occasion. Although I did do some baking this year. These will be nice if I go out, to bring as gift.
Mary M. Dec 24, 2007, 11:02am EST
Dan, I'm waiting for the 24-hour TBS marathon of "A Christmas Story" to start!
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:02am EST
Otelia - I can't wait to see how excited my daughter will be when she opens her presents as well! She is going to love them!
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:03am EST
Morning Otelia, how are things?
Michelle P. Dec 24, 2007, 11:03am EST
I have brownies too & iced sugar cookies, ginger bread cookies, chocolate chip cookies. I am almost done baking now...
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:03am EST
that's right! I have to bake a frozen cherry pie tonight as well! = thanks for reminding me JoAnne!

Right now we are watching Dreamer - such a cute movie!
I can't wait to watch A Christmas story too!
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:04am EST
If only I had yummy breakfast...
JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:04am EST
Yes, I have to defragment once a week and sometimes more often, I need to get a bigger machine. In only four months this one is already filling up.
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:04am EST
Ooh, Michelle, you should bring brownies over for taste testing.
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:04am EST
I'll be right back,I need some more coffee~
Jerri H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:05am EST
Just flying by~~
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:05am EST
Well JoAnne, try going to www.pcpitstop.com and they'll do a free online scan (it's safe and not a virus or other scam).
Janet Somewhere Up On The Mount Dec 24, 2007, 11:05am EST
Hey Dan and all my fellow gatherers. Just thought I'd stop in and say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Pittsburgh.

Girly Comments & Graphics
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:05am EST
Morning Jerri and goodbye Jerri?
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:06am EST
Cold on the east coast Janet?
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:06am EST
yeah, it's a windy day for many I guess Karl.
JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:06am EST
Anytime Priscilla,
Dan I think I'm running out of space to store the backups too.
debra g. Dec 24, 2007, 11:07am EST
Good morning all how are you doing
Mary M. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
Gotta go folks. Merry Christmas!
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
Well JoAnne, what do you have backups of? If you're doing backups of things on your computer, do it once a week or once a month, not daily. Also, I suggest buying an external hard drive and have that hard drive do the backups.
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
Morning Debra, we're doing well.
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
Seeya Mary.
JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
Yeah, it was pouring down here too Karl, I was shocked when I looked out the window and seen that sheet of rain.
debra g. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST

Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:08am EST
I still have one more gift to get my mother (from the art supply store).
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:09am EST
Karl, yes they are ironic! I just can't think of a better name for them!I'll check out your article now...
Dan H. Dec 24, 2007, 11:09am EST
I'm going to go make some breakfast, I'll be back.
debra g. Dec 24, 2007, 11:09am EST
back up your computer once a month but get the temp files cleaned off first
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:10am EST
Good morning Debra~

JoAnne D. Dec 24, 2007, 11:16am EST
Yes, I was thinking of going to Best Buys, they will install your purchase for free. At least I think they still do that, it has been awhile since I've been there.
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 24, 2007, 11:16am EST

debra g. Dec 24, 2007, 11:16am EST

Michael Harvey Dec 24, 2007, 11:22am EST
Merry Christmas Dan. Today I will visit with my mom, it is her 79th birthday. Tomorrow I will open gifts with my immediate family and following dinner later in the day, we will share desert with friends from college. This gathering now includes grandchildren. Also, our children are now included in the rotation for hosting the Christmas deserts. We started gathering around desert in the 1970's, who would have thought it would have lasted this long.
debra g. Dec 24, 2007, 11:23am EST
