Challenge 2006-12 - Wednesday September 20, 2006

Edit:

I apologize MiLadies!  I got my dates mixed up!  Monday is the 2nd, NOT Tuesday!!!  I got confused!  So sorry!  Post beginning  MONDAY!

 

MiLadies,

I have been thinking and searching and have, through the gracious contribution of others, finally come to a decision about our next challenge. I don't remember who asked for this and for that I am truly sorry.  I went back 3 posts but could not locate the individual who wanted us to help her out,   This first challenge is, as I stated, to help out one of our own Queens!  Her child is getting married soon and she has asked us to dole out some sage advice for them. 

To accomplish this, I'm asking you to comply with the following parameters for this challenge I have dubbed:

The Sage Five

Please list 5 (five) bits of advice that you think a newlywed couple needs to know.  many of us are married, or have been married for many years.  Please impart the wisdom of your experiences to these young people!  A simple list is sufficient.  If you feel a need to go into detail, by all means do so!  If you merely wish to list 5, that's fine too!

This next challenge was suggested by prettynoseyarentu. (Thank you MiLady!)

 I'll call this challenge:

POSITIVE ROYAL INFLUENCE

Tell us about any "Royalty" (whom YOU consider royalty) that has been a positive influence in your life.  Names are not necessary, but tell us how they have influenced you.  Was there something specific?  How has your life become better because of them?  What are your feelings about this person now?  Can you pass on this positive influence in your life?  We want to know as much as you can tell us!

THE RULES

bE SURE TO SEE THE CELL OVER TO THE LEFT FOR THE RULES OF THIS BLOG RING.

tIME FRAME:

Post your challenge on your own blog starting on Tuesday, october 2. and ending on Thursday October 4th.

Remember to please make mention and post a link to this site on your blogs so that everyone can come by and see the new challenge!  Have fun!  I'll see you here!

Peaceful days and restful nights to you all!

A not here. . .I need help.  I have been hosting a little something called KOFFEEKWEEN'S HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA for the past 2 years and everyone seems to enjoy it.  I have a problem this year.  My dear friend cndfrnd does not seem to be available to do the web page for me this year.  Do any of you, MiLadies, know how to set up a sperate web page?  I would surly appreciate your help and participation in this endeavor!  I've tried to look at sites and read the html, but I am afraid that my limited knowledge of html is just not sufficient to get this done in time!  Any help you can volunteer will be greatly appreciated!  Let me know at KoffeeKween's site!

Looking forward to this challenge.  It is sorta ironic that this one is for the newly weds.  My niece married on June 17th and at her bridal shower we had to do the same thing.  What we did was buy a blank card and fill it in with the advice.  Would it be cheating if I used the same advice again.  LOL.  Thank you for your challenges.  It is always something to make you remember those special memories.

Looking forward to doing these challenges.

Hopefully, will be feeling well enough to participate.

On the htm stuff, sorry I can't help. I'm just a trial and error person maily. Sadly enough some things are beyond my knowledge.

Take care

THE EXTRAVAGANZA..........SORRY I AM COMPETELY USELESS AT HTML.

I'm sorry I'm not able to help with your Halloween Extravaganza-My knowledge here is very limited too!

Whata wonderful challenge, it'll be interesting to read all the marriage advice.  I look forward to the positive influence too.  Count me in!

Oh my Kween, it was I that requested the topic in a private message to you!  Thank you ever so much for accepting my humble proposal!  :-)  As we are less than three months away from the blessed event now, this will give me time to print them up for my dear daughter for a wedding gift!  Thanks so much, and I will look forward to reading all of those helpful suggestions.  Surely all of this "sage" advice will result in a marriage that will live on "happily ever after!"  <3

MiLady,

Brightest blessings to you this morning!

I think challenge #2 is one that I can definately do.  However, challenge #1 is going to be one that I need to read instead of participate in.  I'm engaged to be married next year!  Have a wonderful day!

I do not know as yet if I have been accepted to do such challenges. I have answered the question, but have not gotten a response. Have a offended the Kween?  I hope not.

This sounds like a fun challenge. I look forward to reading all the marriage advice!

I think I am answering my own question here, but if we happen to be single, then do we participate in the second challenge?

Oh I'm so bummed that I can't help with the website.. I'm terrible with HTML... the only thing I can think is that one of us could open another Xanga and manage it and post links just like in this one... and leave it up from year to year... Just a thought if you don't find a way to do it all fancy!  I can't wait to write this challenge... in fact I'm not waiting... I'm working on it now... but no worries I'll wait to post it!

I wish I could help you w/HTML... I could always ask a teenager.  (Were they born knowing this stuff?)

Topics sound great!  If we want to do both, we can run them on the same day, right?

I have to agree with Courtney. I have no idea how to do anything with html, but some of us could open another xanga for you?
