...anybody out there????


This is pretty lame - I'm sitting in a lawn chair in the sun behind a neighbor's house at the lake to borrow a little of their wireless. It's pretty quiet out here. The only person I've come in contact with was our long lost friend Justin. Yes, he's home from the service again. He was overseas for a year and is home for good now (again). And yes, he was discharged on medical leave and is currently looking for a job. He needs to find a job as the food stamps ended last week - he knows this because he keeps looking at his iPhone and reading something, probably an update of credits from the food stamp people. He's staying at mom's, but that's temporary. Dad is considering catching the house on fire for the insurance money, and mom is considering leaving dad and relying on Justin for funds.....


There's good news, though - the baby they were expecting this past spring did not pan out. Seems after extensive DNA tests (are their non-extensive DNA tests??? Maybe Horatio of CSI knows. Merry, ask him if you run in to him in Fla.) the baby was not his at all.....BUT the baby due this September IS his and that is a definite without any DNA testing taking place. I didn't ask for details...... David, here's the GOOD NEWS......he's looking to buy the house across the street and next to Butch. He's noticed the for sale sign for some time now and he thinks he can make it happen. Shall we throw a housewarming party? We could let it double as a baby shower if they have closing at the same time as the baby gets here.
I keep hearing banjos in the distance and I'm quite sure I saw Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty drive by a bit ago........

Second way to post.........

You can also go to the blog, go to "sign in" and it will open your profile. Once on the profile, you will see the family blog's name listed and a blue button that says "new post" - you can click on that directly from your profile without having to be on the actual blog.

This method is in the video from the movie below - it's the second half of the movie (starting at 1 minute and 30 seconds).

Time to make a new post directly from the blog

Once you have signed in and are looking at the blog, click on "new post".
watch video to see how to do this.
Click on the bottom right corner of the movie screen where the arrows make an X and it will make the video larger, but it is a little blurry in that view - hope this helps???

Testing 1, 2, 3.... Testing 1, 2, 3

Ok, so hopefully now each time someone writes on here (which will hopefully one day be someone other than me :) ) you will get an email notifying you that someone has left a post or a comment. If I'm leaving someone off please send me their email address and I will add them to the group account. Thank you!

i-phone help

I need some i-phone help this weekend. Who volunteers to help me?

Probably the best and easiest way to post on this blog!

sign in to gmail and then at the top right corner you'll see the google menu bar click "My Account" then click "Blogger"... that should take you to the Odowd blog! THEN click "New Post" should be a blue button.
