Well I'm at work. How about you!!!!!!!

Morning Patrick! My husband is working this weekend and forgot to turn off the snooze alarm. Arghhhh! I was up at 5:15. As it turns out, I planned to be up at 6 to drop off the truck for an oil change, walk to the gym for 2 classes, walk back to the shop, pick up the truck. So Terry is not in the dog house.
I'm so excited about finally going diving next weekend. I picked up my regs last night and am having our tanks filled and checking all dive gear this afternoon. I can pretend I'm doing my final check before going to Bonaire.

Good Morning Patrick and Linda!

I have me time this morning! I am going shopping for clothes!!! Wedding next wkd the Kedron's Baptism June 1, I have 2.5 lbs left to lose and it has been ages that I have bought something nice and gone out on my own!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Kaarien, I hope you are feeling better soon. Whether or not we have survived worse, being in discomfort is not good.

Local highway department continues to put detours in my ride to work. I left my house at about the same time Patrick started this post and just got here. Same drive used to be 5 minutes, 10 minutes if I stopped for coffee and bagel (jelly donuts if I am to tell the truth). DANG, I knew I forgot something. Well, have to go get coffee and do.... BAGEL, then back into the "Repair Cage" Where did I put that straw?

14, 14, 14,.......

Good morning everyone.
A rainy weekend here, but that's ok.

Kaarien, it's about time you start to feel better, and I'm sure you will. Off to feed Caymus and get ready for work.

I'll catch you later.

Good Morning Everyone

Work for me too today but that helps with the $$$ for Bonaire

Have a great day everyone whether your planning to dive, in a triathlon , shopping, getting ready for a vaca or just hangin' out

Kaarien - I do hope you get to feeling better soon & hope your new meds don't cause too much trouble for you

Good morning Patrick, Eileen, Kaarien, Linda, Susan, Jerry, Tom & Judy! Did I get everyone??? I am not on here much posting but I do check in to try and keep up with everyone! We have been crazy busy the last few months. But with school coming to a close soon, I hope things get to slow down.

Eileen, have a great day shopping and way to go on weight lose!! Everyone deserves to get away and treat themselves.

Kaarien, I hope you get to feeling better soon!!

Susan, enjoy your 11 day vacation!! It will be here before you know it.

Sorry some of you have to work your weekend away.

Ashley's 8Th grade formal dance is tonight. Stephanie is leaving work early and coming out to help her and her friends get ready. It's a big sisters job! Still having a hard time thinking of Ashley going to high school next school year. But I better get used to the idea!

Hope everyone has a nice Saturday and I hope the rain holds off.

Buenos Dias!! It sure has been a while, good wishes, happy birthdays, happy anniversaries, good luck, hugs and smiles to everyone who I have missed.

Doing well here, just busy and have been lurking mostly on weekends. not even have time to read my emails -

Saludos

Saludos SSG!!!!
And Good Morning Patrick, Linda, Eileen, Susan, Elaine, Kaarien, Tom, Jerry (ever notice how they pop in together a lot - just like the cartoon!), Judy T, Lisa, Lurkers and those to wake up and smell the coffee

It's a beeeeeautiful HOT day here today. I'm off to the gym and then to make my mom's slaw recipe for a 50th birthday bash this afternoon (not mine!! ). It's up in the hills where it will be really HOT.

Hugs to everyone whether you want them or not

See ya'll in a few hours.

Good morning all! It is supposed to be real pretty today. Think I will go to the lake and find a quiet corner to float the day away!
Kaarien, gosh girl, I hope you feel better soon. If you are very swelled up maybe you should consider seeing a MD. Swelling is not a good sign!
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

Good morning everyone. A lazy morning for us here..... but I'll get busy in a while doing something I'm sure. Meeting friends tonight for a pre-Bonaire get together spark some excitement for our July trip!

Have a great day, whatever it is you're doing.

Hey, work is fun, right?


11, 11, 11, 11.

Hi everyone. Kaarien, hope they get that swelling down...I'll think happy thoughts for you!

I just got back from the airport, they've changed/built new roads. Made me dizzy I went in so many circles and loops! Larry's diving at Venice - I couldn't go. wah But the knee is better every day, so maybe this is just a matter of time to heal right.

Don't know what to do with myself today! Think I'll just laze around. Still trying to figure where to hang my mermaid. She's HUGE!

Hope everyone has a great day.

We're going the the "Lilac Festival" today up in Pine Mountain Club. Should be fun, weather is nice, about 82 expected today. Ahhh, I love weekends

Just got back from the gym and grocery... time to get cooking and laundry.
Is 10am too early to crank the stereo???

I don't know what the temp is but it's hot and Summertime, Summertime, Sum-Sum Summertime

I should give Ms. Rasta a bath too - that will cool her down.

Hi everyone :-)
It's another beautiful caribbean day here with a little overcast but that's fine.

Kaarien: Girl that sounds bad :-(. Hope you get better. Sending you lots of "Hollandse Zonneschijn van Bonaire" :-)))))))))))))

Sorry guys, had a pretty busy week and had to take the Lurking position most of the time this week but, I'm here again.

Just got this from a friend... I'm not sure if I chuckled because it's funny or scary.
Ordering Pizza in 2010

Okay, gotta make the most of this glorious day

JEEZ!!! Boom!!!!

Pretty scary!!!!!

Yeah, it's so scary, it's funny :-))))

Big Brother is watching you!!!!!

Bette, could please move to the right just a bit, smile.

Hi Hi
My glorious bod is blocking your view?

Yeah.........now the quarter drops

Sorry Jerr. Totally forgot for a minute your my Big Bro now :-)))))))))))))

Seriously, just last week I was turned down for health insurance because a report the insurance company bought from a Pharmacy clearinghouse said I had taken Prozac back in 2002.
First off - it was erroneous
Second off - so what??? isn't that what health care is for. No wonder we have so many people with mental health problems living on the streets.

I had to contact the pharmacy - they were no help and the Dr listed (she was wonderful) to get documentation that I have never been a patient of hers, nor had she ever prescribed any medications to me....

Lesson learned though... pharmacies can legally sell your information (social security, date of birth, address, and prescription history) without your knowledge. So much for shredding junk mail to protect your ID. The pharmacies make money, the clearinghouse makes money, the insurance companies make money and me??? Nada

yes, I'm still p*****d about it. I had no idea that it was happening.

Se me smiling......see me smiling........see me???

spring is booming
i'd be pissed too. that is real scary.
es

I am with ya.
So match for privacy protection.
I wonder if you could sue that pharmacy, you could make a little (or a lot with a good lawyer)money out of it (just trying to show you the bright side :-))))))).

O my, just reread my last post.
Could do with a lesson English :-\

I just thought Jerry had taught you to spell, Bette...

Hi CB, Hi hi, I was probably distracted when that topic was running :-))))

Funny how things look from behind.

O man....I wish things stopped flying passed me.

I mean "when you reread or rethink things"

hello everyone.last update.
my feet are all swallow also and i have troubles with breath.hubby go to hospital with me now.he is worried,
have a nice eve and night.
hope to peek in later.this night,bye.to let You know,what is wrong.
hugs and thanks.for Your good vibes.
don"t worry ,be Happy.

Am I making myself clearing or am I sinking deeper an deeper? :-)

Hey Jerr, about that Big Bro thing.

I have loads of sec. cams in my office and when you said "Move to the right" I really thought "Can he also hack into those cams, or what?" (yeah yeah, I am totally blond on the IT area)

Bette You said it perfectly "Funny how things look different from behind" PERFECT!!

Kaarien all good thoughts to you today... please let us know that you are okay. Hugs to your precious hubby too.

CB, is it blazing hot for you?

Bette, anny time you want a speling lesion, just leet me no.

Yeah, learning by slapping, right?! ;-)

I creating a report in 4 different languages.
Dutch, English, German and Papiamento. The first 3 languages are no problem but the last is not eh .... shall we say; my best.

So it can happen that meer und mas words ta bai falsch en then je mixup dinger cu before bo sa het you bai vast in the drijfzand.
Capishe?!

Boom, I'm dyin' here. It was 100f two days in a row....that's crazy. How about you?

Hot weather is a lot more tolerable when can run out the door and jump in the ocean(Bette).

Gosh, Kaarien, I hope you're ok!

:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))





Rubitinrubitinrubitinrubitinrubitinrubitinrubitin
sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry

CB, please drink a freezing Balashi from me.










Oops, sorry, forgot you probably don't have that there :-)))))))))))))))))))
How about a fruit punch of the same temperature?!
:-))))))))))))))

Bette, are you having fun yet?

Howdy all! Boom, CB, it is sweltering down here too! got off work yesterday, walked outside, and it was 90F (ok, that's hot for us you guys). It's already 88F, so I'm sure it will get hotter. I'm sitting in the living room with the AC right on me...lol...Michael is trying to find things to do to distract his back pain

Bette, you really do need an attitude adjustment...lol...

Karrien, please let us know how it goes.

jerry, just for you buddy.

Congrats on your 100+ post Bette.

Bette, I can jump into he ocean, but it's about 48f today...it's just not the same.

I do, though happy circumstance, have a big deck looking out over the trees and across the San Francisco Bay, so it could be worse. I just put peanuts out and the squirrels are going nuts.

You should see Boom's deck!

Hey, Cynde...we were typing at the same time.

This is my first weekend home since our trip, and you should see the pile of paperwork on my desk! I think I'm stuck here for a couple of hours.

And the gol dang portable air conditioner terrifies the cats...if this weird weather becomes a pattern, I'm gonna price getting it put in the attic!!!

Not sure what that is, and I'm not going to ask.

Jerry, HK toothpaste, your should arrive shortly.

CB, I have it literally about 3 feet from the chair...lol...give me a call if you want a break and we can chat

Just went out and checked 95F in the shade

CB, this is what we got. It's really quiet.

Cynde and heat, not a good mix.
Poor Michael.

Barbara C.B., want to have some fun? Apply a layer of grease around those peanuts and watch the squirrels slip.

I can almost hear there squeaky little voices now:

"My nut."
"No, my nut."
"Race ya."
"Okay."
"WHHHHHuppppppppppsssssssss."
"SAMMY, ARE YA OKAY SAMMY?."
"Owwwwww, I think so."
"HA!! TOLD YA. IT'SSSSSSSSSSSSS - MY NUT."

14, 14, 14, 14,......

I got ours through Costco, don't know the make.

Eric is not amused that it's sitting in the garage because of the cats....

Cynde, I'll give you a call as soon as I finish the bills!

(Message edited by barbara_gibson on May 17, 2008)

Okay okay.
I feel now humbly corrected.

Please accept my apologies.

I do know how it feels to have somebody who is teasing you about a place you would love to be but you cannot and they are.

Again sorry, I will refrain from now on to any such remarks.

Tom's been doing dry suit repairs again.
Pam, Tom needs to go outside, now.

Bette, I think you should lord it over us every chance you get!

After all, if we really want to live there and we don't live there, it's our own darn fault!

Thx Jerr, I missed that.

CB What I miss here is the green stuff. A while back I saw a picture of somebody's back yard. I do not remember who's but it looked awesome. Right there, in the forrest.

cb
was horrible here too. (martinez area) got out of work and fried in car even though it was parked under tree. spoke to a parent who was in sf when it was in 90's. she was at a business meeting and had to wear suit. uck!!!!!!!!!!
es

Thx CB, I'll see what I can do :-))))))))))

Oh, Martinez gets even hotter than here, doesn't it? I'm south of SF, between Redwood City and Woodside, so we do get a little ocean weather from over the hill, if and when it kicks in.

I found out on Thursday that my air conditioning isn't working....yippee!

Bette, I think that was Timmmmy's back yard, and it did look wonderful, didn't it?

Jerry, has the HELLO KITTY FAIRY lost your address? You haven't posted any special HELLO KITTY TREATS lately...

Bette, I was teasing Lost in translation.

yes, you have every right to rub it in and tease us, I'd be doing it too if I lived on Bon. And when it's freezingsnowwinterhorriblycold in the NE in the winter, I rub our CA weather all over the place...lol...

Getting ready to watch Borat...

Eilaine, I had to google Martinez to see where it was. Nice to have another Left Coastie on board

I love BT days like this

Yup, it's hot here too. I'm actually not really looking forward to this party in the mountains this afternoon.... it's gonna be hotter than Hates!

Well my dear friends, it's closing time for me, but I get to do it again tomorrow, how nice!

Have a nice evening, be cool if you are hot, and warm if you are cold.

Be well.

Oh yeah, and, we have to wear boots (rattle snakes) and long pants (ticks and poison oak) BUT there will be GREAT friends, good food and a band Should be pretty fun ~ especially once the sun goes down! A bunch of people went up last night and are camping.

Bette - dig it in, girl... we live vicariously through you

Bette, I think it's fabulous you live on "our island", lol. We all claim it as a 2nd home and it's your first. Rub it innnnn, rub it in. And we're all gonna come and see you!

Have fun, Boom!

Larry's finally home, and yep, Narc'd after 2, 2 hr dives, (he'll dive until he is just about out of air, he's the first dive addict I ever met....but he's been doing it for 20 something years, so I know he's good and I don't worry.)

It's almost wine time!

I hope Larry and Bob have their fishing tournament tonight, fun to watch. Oh, and Bob planted a traveler's palm (remember my failed attempt???), and a coconut palm with coconuts all over it already, in his backyard - which is my "to the left" view. Nice. Told him I'm going to plant a lime to put in his coconut. :D

Hi Kathy! I thought of you this morning as I watered the yard

I thought we had lost this wonderful orchid - we moved it and it got buried under some other plants. This morning it blessed me with 3 beautiful blooms

OOOOOOOOOW I will welcome all of you with open arms.

And if rubbing it in is what it takes, well....... ;-)

O man, we just moved here but I LOVE this little piece of paradise above and beyond the water.

Guys, be good for the weekend, I'm gonna miss you :-))))))))))))

Well, just watched Boart the movie...uh...can you say red hock poker please? Not sure I'll ever get one image burned from my mind...

Howdy all! That orchid is gorgeous! Never seen Boart, sounds like I shouldn't. I did dive #200 today! Woohooo! At....Angel City!!!! I hope to check in with you guys tomorrow. It is my off gas day. Better to be safe than sorry.

We're watching blue planet, and they just showed this guy, how cute, dumbo octopus

Cynde, how much for your sister?

Darn Jerry your up late!!!!

hey everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
