Kobi, LMAO about Bubbles, I could picture it in my mind. We want current picture of the pup please!

RA...whar are you??? Oh, and Dutch Butler's are HOT...lol!

Hi Freddie

I need to see a real photo of Arnold so I can go to bed and rest..

Hi Cynd.. how are you?

I totally agree, Freddie! Not sure what he was thinking. We'll have to dock him a day's pay

LOL, Cynde...I promise some pics. They all three look like unkept homeless pups as they are overdue by a few weeks for grooming. THAT is coming on Wednesday so will snap them in their ragamuffin attire before I sell my kidney to pay for their grooming....LOL!

OMG....and I have new pics of Rylan in her bathing suit, her pool AND sporting two new toofers. I better get busy cropping and fixing those

I got RA a Martini and then she split!

YES Kobi he have 2 brothers but i pick the handsome one out..lol.
and i find that he is look a little bit like george clooney.only he is blond but with grey hair by the sleep and ears,and i find that charming looking.
Hey Boatchick you oke.
and yes we are very late up.because we went out for late diner and we had so much on our minds today.and now he is playing with his son an grandson.so that wil keep his mind not worry on me and i try also not to worry.
told you i am a fighter and need to stay positiev.

Kaarien, your hubby sounds like a WONDERFUL person!!! We will be positive for you as well!!!

I'm back! I had to make some appetizers to go with my drink!
Rajan asked me why b**bs float in the pool today, oy this kid.....

Kobi and Freddie You made me laugh,
what You mean by.we""ll have to dock him a days pay LOL
i need to look for a picture otherwise You lady can not sleep .LOL.
warning.maybe you can not sleep when You see the Picture..LOL KIDDING

here he comes.

Told You ,hope You sleep well and have pleasant dreams..LOL.

RA OH fun LOL!
I was just thinking to myself..wonder if I can post my pics of Rylan? Silly sister had a bikini on her and in all the darn pics the top is missing LOL! The ruffly bottoms are cute though! Can I post those here? Your b**b comment made me LOL as I just asked Rob about the pictures I got from my sis.

Sorry kobi and Freddie i try to send ,but it give error because the pict was to big.true
i send it later after made it smaller.

yes kobi send pict yes i will do also.after i try to make it smaller

Kobi, he's very observant about these kind of things
I love those little ruffly bottom bathing suits! I kept one on Rianna for as long as I could and Rajan just won't have any of it. He picked out 2 new swim shorts, one is black and white with skulls on them and the other is green and red with a tigers head, boys clothes are boring!

My Gosh!! I leave for a few eansy-teansy minutes and everyone comes around
Kaarien and Arnold we love you both!

Kobi, my friend's daughter who was just here called her bikini a wahini and now it's stuck.... when she told her mom that she needed her wahini so she could get in the hot tub we were a little perplexed

Kaarien, good to see you!!!

If this doesn't make you laugh...
Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

...you need to belly up to the bar

LMAO, Boom!!! Now that's funny; bless his heart. Hope he won the double dare bet

It helps that RA has b**bs to float - some of us BTrs would just sink!!! LOL!!!

Wahini LOL! That's cute. Wonder what Rylan's gonna call it when she's bigger? She's just now got 2 toofers that are visible on the bottom. Can't wait to see her again; she's growing fast.

Here is one peek....

She just has these EYES and these lashes

I'm afraid I'd be sinking with the best of them LOL!

See ya'll again in a few -- it's 6pm - bewitching hour
Time to run home, fill a glass with ice and vodka and lime, and check back in with the peeps

You guys are cracking me up! I am very fond of my floatation devices

Kobi, she is gorgeous!!!

Boom, is it as hot by you, still over 100 in the shade here!

Beautiful, Kobi, she's sooooo beautiful!!

Kaarien it's almost breakfast where you are!!

Kaarien.....how are you, my dear!????

and Kobi, anyone with THOSE beautiful eyes/lashes can call the shots!!

Tara i new that song and my friends and i dance on it many times.
Kobi Rylan looks so beautifull.its in the gene.
isn"t she lovely.
update time over the pond. 3.16 in the morning and we still sitting together on the comp.shame shame.but its better than worry,
this day was a great schok for us booth.

Thanks Kobi! I am going to get more stuff and I will check out the dollar tree!

Hi Kaarien! glad to "see" you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and sending my best to you!

Best laid plans... had to do a quick update on the puter. Now I can make the long trek home (all 4 miles of it!).

RA, it's hot here but not 100. It's supposed to cool off tomorrow some. I hope it does for the people in the Solstice Parade - it's all uphill and they are in crazy costumes and floats. We get somewhere around 100k people coming to town for it - just that creates more heat!! LOL

Kaarien, you and hubby just hang on and do what you need.... nothing beats spending time with your soulmate. Today was a shock for us all - we feel it too.

I'll be back in 15 mins!!

oh...I had good news today everyone...my step-mom had her first CT scan since starting chemo for her colon cancer and ALL her tumors are shrinking!!!

Thanks, Kobi...

what is going on that Kaarien and Tara are talking about "a shock for all of us"??? what did I miss? Sounds bad!

Donna, I was wondering the same thing. I apologize but I must have missed it, can someone please explain?

Kaarien - You said today was a big shock to you and your hubby. I hope it was not anything too catiscropic to share, so that we can help you through it......

i look and send this picture.

Freddie i hope You can go to sleep now and kobi to.LOL.

Kaarien, you little fox you! OMG, you look like you are 30! And yes, Arnold is muy rico suave give each other hugs, and like i said, you are a survivor, you WILL beat this, and we will be here with you every step of the way. I wish i were closer to you. I really want your snail mail address (mailing address in Holland) email it to me at moderators@bonairetalk.com please if you can.

Kaarien, drink some apple juice, close your eyes, and pretend it's wine...i know, slap me, that doesn't even come close I know. It would be VERY hard for me to give up my wogga.

Kaarien,
Hubby has a nice smile as do you! You look very pretty!!! Just remember we're all here for you.

Kobi, Rylan is adorable, I can't believe how big she has gotten! I remember playing with my neice when she was that age in the pool, she called me today, she's 22, and getting married in october...my how time flies.

Kaarien, I have to say, you do NOT look old enough to be a grandmother!

Cynde, thanks!!

Oh MY....Kaarien, I am so sorry..my heart if breaking for you...you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...you CAN beat this...please don't slap me mods, but GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, Kaarien...hang in there and have faith...we are ALL here for you...please send me your private address if you can... devfam@ptd.net

May God blessed You where ever You are.

Quick stop at the grocery for cat food and the Szechuan place for noodles for me....
is anybody still here????

That Rylan is stunning!

It's so hot and still - very eerie. Guy said they had two rescues from people suffering heat exhaustion on the trails. Crazy people should be at the beach not the mountains. Guess that's what happens when you give some people the freedom of choice

Rosanne, I think we need to harness yours, CBs, Michael's and our good healing thoughts in one bunch and send them kaarien's way.

Kaarien, listen to your hubby, he is RIGHT! Together you are strong. I'll email you my private email address, and please feel free to email me whenever you like.

Try to get some sleep, and again, BT is really BTPL (bonaire talk people lovers), we have helped each other through a lot over the years.

I have a stone in my living room engraved with, "We might not have it all together, but together we have it all"

There is power in the coming together of people... Big Hugs

Boom, people were hiking in this heat? good lord! Bless Guy for being there to save them

We are going to the scuba show tomorrow and are going to hook up with karen and rog, and some other dive friends of mine for dinner. wish you could be there dang it!

RA, call me if you can.

Good night for real this time everyone!! Love you all!! HUGS ALL AROUND!!!

Boom, enjoy the noodles. Glad you're home safely!!

Cynde, thanks for the kind words. I have blinked and Rylan is almost a year old! OYE!
Also, if you get a snail mail addy on Kaarien can you share privately?! Thanks in advance.

OK, this gal has to call it a night; I'm getting seepy! Babies are down for the count and I'm right behind them.

Thanks for the HH company tonight!

Kaarien, will be saying prayers for your well being!!!! Take care.....

Night Donna and hugs back atcha.

Yeah, Cynde can you believe... when there's a beach right here. Maybe that was Darwinism at work and Guy foiled the Grand Plan. LOL!!

I would come down if it wasn't for my friend coming into town. It will be fun to do the Solstice Parade with her. We used to go together every year till she moved to Palm Dessert.

Night Kobi - it was fun as always

OH MY CYNDE.that is amazing i like the flamingo boat and the people on it.

and now a funny picture.also for Jerry how loves kittens.
You can see what i am thinking about the picture.LOL

the apple juice tasted as apple juice and i try so hard to think it was a red wine.

Ahhh for red wine you must drink Grape Juice

I wish you were here on my patio so you could smell the fragrance our Datura is putting off tonight.... it's such a treat

I wish I could find the words to describe it...

Kaarien, I told you you could slap me for the apple juice comment...lol...i love that website, ihascheezburger...they are so funny, and that kitten is a LUSH!

bOOM, I wish we had smellovision...lol! Or scrach the monitor and smell?...that might be a BAD idea sometimes.

Kaarien, I just realized Bob is in that flamingo boat, well, in the water, I think Patrick is fending him off...hope he doesnt' tip it over!

Tara did You fligh.You back so soon our is it that i am so slow.
You must be very proud of Guy.hope You have a great day tomorrow.and Tara i like noodles.i am hungrey again.i have to eat much,to be strong.and i have some special drinks to get stronger.we cal it.nutri drink.it have everything you body needs in it.you get it from the meds.

Kaarien, how's this one?

I love noodles and stupidly asked for the spicy --- duuuhhhh it's hot out... oh well, it's cooling down now.
Maybe I'll sleep out on the patio tonight.

Yeah I'm pretty darn proud of Guy. Did I tell you all the funny typo that the Mesa Paper made about his retirement?

HUGS LOVE YA ALL. BYE.

I should scan it and post it --- I think I might send it into Jay Leno.
Keep in mind that the woman who writes the entire paper is Philipino, so English is not her first language. Often I can actually read her wonderful accent in her writing - I Love it!!

So, this was all done without Guy's knowledge - I wanted to surprise him. I had emailed Alice (the publisher/editor etc) earlier that I couldn't make a meeting due to his retirement from the SWAT team. She being the true newspaper woman that she is ran with it!

GUY SMITH RETIRES!!!!
After 14 years as a medic of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's SWAT team, Guy Smith of Skyline Circle turned in his gear. Guy started the SWAT Medic program.
On May 7, the team had a barbeque and presented Guy with a plague.
Guy will continue his career with Santa Barbara County as a Captain on Truck 11 for at least one more year.
His wife is Tara Smith, our inspiring quadrant co-coordinator for West Alta Mesa"

So of course, most people just read the headline and FREAK out!!! So many have called the station to find out if it's true. Then there were those who caught the typo... toooo darn funny!!!

Did you catch it????

Here's a hint....

in my email to her I had typed a "q" but she wrote the word with a "g". On Arial font both letters have a straight leg (no curl left or right) so you have to know the word.

The power of a consonant

So how is Guy doing with the plague??? LOL

I caught it too, not the plague, but the typo!!!LOL
Hope Guy is doing better today!!!

I REALLY hope that Kaarien & Arnold have passed out by now!!!! They stayed up all nite. Oh, I'm tearin' up again.....

My gosh, I thought the plague was obsolete! I just cracked up when I read it!

Boom, you are banned from the next few mini meets if guy has the plauge...LOL!

But what about two AH's?

I'm special.

Hello Jerry how are you.hope better.You are special..no grow grow
