Hellllloooooooooo (man, that's a loud echo. need to get some carpeting)

Here I am at the new digs ....

Doing the Italian thing for new homes: bringing a loaf of bread, olive oil, salt, a candle, honey ...

Here are 15 traditional housewarming gifts and their symbolic meaning. I wish these for all of you:

Bread. Meaning: “May this house never know hunger.”
Wine. Meaning: “May you always have joy and never go thirsty.”
Wood. Meaning: “May your home have stability, harmony, and peace.”
Broom. Meaning: “May your house always be clean and free of evil spirits.”
Coal. Meaning: “May you always be warm.”
Honey. Meaning: “May you always enjoy the sweetness of life.”
Bluebird. Meaning: “May you have happiness and good luck.”
Knives. Meaning: “May always be protected from intruders.”
Sugar. Meaning: “May your life be filled with sweetness.”
Rice. Meaning: “May the love in your home multiply.”
Olive Oil. Meaning: “May you be blessed with health and well-being.”
Plants. Meaning: “May your home always be filled with life.”
Salt & Herbs. Meaning: “May there always be flavor and spice in your life.”
Candle. Meaning: “May you always have light through the darkest times.”
Coin. Meaning: “May you dwell in good fortune.”

Hello Bttrfly…fly…fly…fly…

Oh, that is quite an echo. Lol!

I like the gifts and their meaning. May you be blessed with all as well.

So out of curiosity is the edit button working on this thread or the entire forum?
It has had a time limit in the past too. ?

I'm using Chrome as a browser

Edit button works in Newcomers and MLC

Edit button does not work (never has to my knowledge) in Surviving, not that it matters if that's going away.

I think it's a setting per section rather than universal right now.

Welcome bttrfly and R2C! This is a work in progress and any "glitches" that you discover along the way, please let us know.

I saw this quote by an "unknown" this morning and thought of all of us and how we talk about looking back in the rearview mirror.

"There is no reason to look back when you have so much to look forward to."

BTW, thank you for testing some of the functions for us. The testing helps a great deal in trying to fix those issues that have lingered for quite some time.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

The reason you look back is to ensure you dont repeat stuff.. So, its a double edged sword.
