I checked in this morning and it is still not showing. The only way I am able to post is to reply to an already posted checkin. Thanks to everyone who has let me piggyback!!!!! Maggie, do you get any kind of response from your checkins like I am? They tell me I don't have permission to post to the group. I think Google just doesn't like me!!!! :-) On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 8:47 PM, Maggie Stewart <lists.msz55@gmail.com>wrote: > I'm here and did a checkin every month.
