My wife has a dr.'s appt in St. Louis monday morning and we'll be back Monday afternoon, and I don't think I will have access to net, sooo no going "He hasnt responded to anything I posted" lol ^^ Just thought I would inform you all of what is going on ^^ We're leavin in a matter of hours to have some spare time in st. louis to go play around for a bit while we are up there. Ja ne minna!!!

A while back I had informed a bunch of you the troubles my sister was going through with child services being called on her by my step-monster..oppzzz..i mean step-mother. Anyways she received a letter in the mail yesterday saying the investigation was over and that there was no substantial evidence to prove to them what had been told to them. Sooo its over and there is no problems with my sis and her daughter ^^ Thank goodness. It would've tore my sister apart to have had her yanked from her as I am sure it would with most mothers. Anyways...just letting you all know the results and that you all have my gratitude for the lighting of the candles and good energy that you all sent to her. Thank you all so very very much *bows* I owe you all one ^^

Finally!! I got my background to take. I don't know whether it was a bug fixed or not, but I'm gonna explain what I did exactly to get it to take, but before I do so I just wanted to say that I had to change the font color as well so the blog posts were readable. I may make the font size a lil bigger but I'm not sure yet. Ok. On to the process:

 Click your profile tab..Click layout and style. Scroll half way down to Edit your theme. Click the Use Custom Style, and then scroll down a lil bit more. OK go to Background image and fill it in(copy and paste image URL in). OK before I go any further. I feel I must explain what I did differently this time. Cause it actually may make the difference. What I used to do was pull a URL link from photobucket(which was a individual image hosting site), but instead this time I clicked the little what looks like 3 monitor/TVs overlapped and picked the image out of my photos, which means this. If you can upload pictures then try this. Upload your background image to your individual photos on covenspace and then go back to the profiles to the background-image. Click the monitors and choose your background image out of there. It should insert a URL addy in there. Something like this for example http://images.onesite.com/darkside0001.covenspace.com/an5.jpg. Background position whatever you want it to be. I'm sure if you get the background image to take you can start playing with the Background Position and the other information you entered should still be there if you go back to the profile and start tweaking with it. And the rest of the settings is all up to you. Sooo we'll just see about if the background image taking. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Scroll over to your right, or on the bottom right should be a green button that says "Save Changes". And It might take. Let me know if this works for anyone else cause I trully hope it does ^^ Enjoy. Oh yeah feel free to add me as a friend or drop a comment telling me whether this worked for you or not. Thanks alot and matte ne ^^

Well I helped out a friend today. Did my good deed for the day as I like to call it ^^ The ice storm that went through Missouri a few months back well...in this area it destroyed alot of trees and alot of ppl were without power for a few weeks. Me being one of them. No power for 13 days is not kewl. Anyways, my wife and I and this friends daughter and her husband and this friends grandkids helped clear out some of the limbs and put them out by the street where the city is susposed to take care of them. It was about 3 hours of carrying this and doing this. I am in pain from it, but it was worth it cause we were able to help out someone. ^^ I guess I need to exercise more often. LOL. Anyways.....thats about it for this weekend. Forgot to get taxes done as well *sighs* Oh well..its mostly my fault cause I didnt want to go anywhere Saturday. Matte ne minna!!!
