Well I'll start the chat off.

Morning Patrick, getting ready to go to work and is cloudy this morning. How are you?

Morning Patrick and Vira! It's a beauty of a day here, going to start my morning walks again, get back in the groove.

Patrick, how are your ears doing?

Good morning Patrick, Vira and Debbie - Let's see - what would PAtrick like to talk about today??? hmmmmm..... maybe BONAIRE!!!! And that he's leaving in less than 48 hours??? Or something like that.....

Well I am loving that it's hump day and boy do I need a new job. Not that I hate my job because I don't, I just feel like I need a new one. Need something with more creativity but that pays as well - dag gum it that's hard to find.

Oh well - back to project work.

Patrick is leaving in two days?? Who would have known that? Have a great time on island, Patrick, look forward to seeing you on the other side!

Patrick who? Leaving when? Going where?


Kobi

Exactly Debbie - who woulda thunk it???!!!!

Kobi - I think this guy is going to Bean Blossom Indiana for a conference on town planning. but I could be wrong....

And thought about you on my drive through the never ending state of Virginia...that's it's newest name. MAN 323 miles of my trip was through there... all on Hwy 81.

So anywho - glad you're on line.

Good Morning Patrick, Vira, Debbie, Kobi, and Mara
It's looking like it's going to be pretty darn nice here. Debbie a morning walk sounds like just the ticket. Think I might put this 'puter down and head over to the bluffs for Rasta's walk.
Patrick, I do believe you're starting to get excited

It's been a productive morning already. You know who you are. Why yes we can talk about ME if you like. LOL

Vira, I'm doing good right now. In 2 days 20 hours a whole lot better will be the call of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah! Kobi, you've got your 'internets' back?! I would have to just go home if I didn't have it at work.
Mara, have your friends and family oooohed & ahhhed over your new jeans?? I've been getting lucky at Macy's lately and have gotten some comfortable and cute things for Bonaire - coool tops and a few new shorts No more shopping for me!

Good Morning Patrick, Vira, Tara, Debbie, Kobi, and Mara...

I think we need to rename this thread the Let's just rub in that we are going to Bonaire thread instead of Hump Day.

And yes Tara - I have gotten LOADS of oohs and ahhs and even "DA**" comments about my CA jeans. I just love them. You guys are really sweet and special and nice and wonderful!!!

I feel a Thhhhhhppppppfffffffttttttt coming

Morning all! Patrick, you going somewhere? Thanks for the VM yesterday, made me laugh...I even saved it for when I'm pressed about my old age. Had a nice quiet dinner at a local restaurant overlooking the harbor, then to bed early. I just wanted this one to "slip under the carpet."

Now that I have to go back to work, the weather has cooled off...it's nice outside...phphhhhhhttttttphttt....did I tell you I need a REAL vacation?????

Mara, I need to post those pics of you modeling your new CA clothes...you were one hot chiquita woman!

Morning, all. I'm happy for all of you on your way to Bonaire...wish it were our turn!

Glad the jeans are a hit, Mara...you were a dandy model, a little reserved (not) but you looked hot!

I hear you're getting a little relief from the heat down there in the SoCal. We're supposed to be heating up for a bit but not as bad as you. Weird weather!

Ok have you West Coaster not had a thought about BOB being there. Where BOB is at is where the •••• hits the fan. Get rid of him and send him back to the east coast.

(Message edited by pat_t on September 5, 2007)

RosAnne is bringing Bob in to visit me at one on by job sites today, if he's arrived. Thanks a lot, RosAnne! This particular job is so crammed with characters that Bob is going to feel right at home. He may not want to leave. We'll get pictures!

Good Morning All

Still playing catch up seems they make you pay for taking time off....but, it is making the day fly by quicker.

Darn about lunch time.....what will it be ????

Anybody up for a bacon cheeseburger??
Spicy chicken with pepper-jack and bacon??

Good afternoon kids.
Mare just sent me this pic of Tom and I from the NH-MM.

Mara.....you shoulda given me a yell and we'd offered a potty stop for you! We're right off that d*man interstate 81 In the big metropolis of Harrisonburg. UGH...hate that highway so much but must do it to go to Roanoke where our fam is

Patrick we lova ya and SO hope you have a great time in BON as I know you will!

Tara...yea I think I'm back in action; finally! D*mn Comcast. Took them almost 2 weeks to fix THEIR mess out on the pole. I told the tech that I talked to yesterday AM that I had better be seeing TWO men hanging from the pole out on the street shortly of heads were gonna roll! Sure enough, after lunch there they were; the Comcast repair guys

So...I'm baaaaack

Kobi

Hey there Hello ••••• C.B.H.

That's a really good pic of you guys!

Kobi

Jerry..how many glasses you wearing? Are those the flippy uppy kind of sunglasses?

Reading and Sun.

Jerry and Tom, you are quite the handsome devils!

CB - give me a call at home when you can, may have to postpone Bob....he took my car out last night and called from Reno, met a girl, got married blah, blah, blah! Why the He)) did he have to come here???

I see the GUARDS are up to there tricks again, this Hi Cat crap is a pain in the a$$!

Back under the desk for me.

Jerry, your glass-style just shows your outstanding fashion taste.... Guy wears his like that too. I knew ya'll were alike!

Cool dudes.

The funny thing about Jerry's glass style, is he does that forehead thing even when he's only wearing one pair!

Great pic of you and Tom! We've got some real "DUDES" here on BT

Becky, I thought you were talking about Jerry's HK underwear...or his camo bottle holder...lol! Had to read the post several times, look at his profile, back to reading your post, back to the profile, then realized you were talking about his specs...SNORT!

I have glasses all over the place, but I never can find them, so, I glued one pair to my head.

Snort is right Cynde... I was talking about the picture of Tom and Jerry (now there's a snort... remember that cartoon??) and how Tara commented on his 2 pairs of glasses.

I just checked out his latest profile pic... and truly understand why you were snorting LMAO

Becky, I think something happened to my brain overnight...

This is a product that I sell, and use, it works.
Any one of you out there that is being effected by the heat, try this.

If you are not able to find, or can't afford, e-mail me, I will send one to you free.

Please watch the temp when working out side.

Wow....time flew today. Month end for me so was busy billing, billing and making Bonaire dollars

THEN...got a call from Rob's brother down in Roanoke, VA. Seems Rob's mom may have suffered a TIA, or mini stroke, so they rushed her to ER where they are doing tests as I type. This woman will be 80 next month and she's really in great health so this has us all baffled! I just got done planning a private hot air balloon tether for her upcoming surprise B day next month so she can't pull this sh*t now!!!!

Not sure we're going to be making a road trip but, in case, wanted to say night should I NOT be here tomorrow. It's only 110 miles south so we may bust a move later but so far our fam says she's doing well and we don't need to go but we're the only kids NOT living in town & NOT there!!! That is one of the crappers about being out of town...waaaa!

Can use some BT prayers for my MIL, Dee. I love this woman dearly; she's a great mother in law! Hope everyone, here, has a nice evening and I will try to check in later if we're still around.

Hugs,
Kobi

Will be thinking about Dee and you guys tonight, best of luck with the test!

OK, Cynde, with the current temp in CA, take our abused friend's offer... ;)

Have a nice evening everyone, U-2 Cynde Lee! Sorry!!!
I will be spending the day under my desk tomorrow, so play nice and don't post anything about -0, ok.


CP.

Thanks Jerry, aka Abused, and all...

God a good update on my MIL. Tests came back negative for anything; so all clear! They think she just had a bleep She did this about 6 years ago; slured speech and weird actions. Almost like her record skipped a beat. Bless her heart she's a dear woman and we just do not need the beejeebers skeered out of us right now; or ever for that matter.

As of now, 7 PM est, we're gonna hang back at home and touch base once she gets home later tonight. Been in contact w/ Rob's siblings and they all agree she's doing OK so we'll see what the future brings. I love her SO much and need her around so praying she'll stay healthy for a looooong time.

Thanks again for the good thoughts and for being here.

Kobi

Kobi - glad to hear your MIL is doing ok! Whew is right!

Thanks, Becky...yea that big exhale you heard from the east coast was moi! I am in the "NO NEEDING DRAMA" mode right now.

Kobi

Jerry, I had those when I lived in AZ...they are nice

Kobi, glad your MIL is doing ok, what a scare. Hugs to you all

Kobi, glad to hear about your MIL (especially how much you love her - lucky you!!!)
Please let us know how her night goes

Kobi - good to hear about your MIL. I'm sure everyone was very worried. I will still keep her and you and your family in my prayers.
