Amy Rowell: My favorite song is, Moon River. I know it is weird but it makes me feel melancholy yet I love it. It seems sad yet it makes me happy. Does that make any kind of sense? Lol
    michaelcahill: Some things are just like that. Hard to resist ...

    Dean Kuch: Yes, Amy. It makes perfect sense to me. -
    Amy Rowell: (Smile) Thanks Michael! I am glad I am not alone, Dean! Lol -


Amy Rowell: I have been full of frowns lately but someone just reminded me to Smile!


Amy Rowell: My iPad has gone crazy or the site is acting up. Every time I edit and save the changes it don?t change.
    Amy Rowell: See.... that dang question mark shows up everywhere! -
    michaelcahill: That's a weird thing that happens using smart apostrophes or something like that. It shouldn't happen if you type directly into the site. But there's a way to go into word and change it, but I forget how. Someone should know though. HEY! Someone, tell her. It's not your Ipad though, IT'S US! LOL -
    Amy Rowell: Thanks Michael! I do noctice it happens if I type don?t but it doesn?t show up as I?m typing. It?s strange. -
    Amy Rowell: Oh it?s using a ? Instead of apostrophe -
    Jannypan (Jan) : Those annoying ????? show up in the forum all the time. Also when copying/[asting where ther are none, you may end up with a bunch in YOUR writing. Most annoying & difficult to delete. They just keep going & going & going . . . . -
    Jannypan (Jan) : That's copying/pasting. FS would not allow me to correct it. That is something else that is annoying--not being able to make corrections when posting comments on this profile thread page here!!!! -
    Amy Rowell: I know, Jan, I tried and tried to edit and correct but those ??? Keep hanging out! Grrrr -


Amy Rowell: I love Christmas shopping almost as much as I like writing and paintings!
    Gloria ....: That's great, Amy! I would like some of those fuzzy knee-high socks with rubber dots on the bottom if you don't mind. Kidding. I do like those socks though. :) -


Amy Rowell: Sunshine, thunder and rain here in middle Tennessee today! When I was growing up, the saying goes...."When it rains and thunders while the sun is out, the devil's beating his wife." What in the word! Lol where did that come from!?! Have y'all ever heard that? Lol It just might be some southern Mississippi thing! D-a-n-g.......!
    Jannypan (Jan) : Never heard of it. But here in Texas, we have 'gullywashers.' -
    damommy: Yes, we always say that, too. -

Amy Rowell: Embrace everyday with a smile! 🙂
    DR DIP: EMBRACE EVERY DAY WITH A SMILE

    Embrace every day with a smile
    Always show your grille
    It really makes, life worthwhile
    Everyone knows it will

    Just start off with a little grin
    As someone walks your way
    Showing a smile is not a sin
    It can really make their day

    A smile is what the world needs now
    And a bit of laughter as well
    The world's too sad anyhow
    It needs a happy spell

    So start the day everyday
    With a smile and blow a kiss
    See what comes, back your way
    It's something you shouldn't miss

Amy Rowell: If you find yourself with writer's block, pick up a paint brush!
    F. Wehr3: Good advice! If you paint yourself into a corner, start writing. -
