Good morning kids, sleep well?
Today we need to draw out of hiding, BH, Steve, and Kelly H.

Linda, you are free. Post a new pic in your profile.
Feeling better C?

Off to work.

Morning Jerry.

Morning Jerry and Debbie and all. Have had little time to play. Bit bummed right now, a friend, old coworker and a supervisor that I worked closely with passed away yesterday. She was 32. So tragic. Her hometown is nearby so I hope to pay my respects.

We've just been busy. The kids are super active, Kedron is mobile, and has a personality to boot! The fence is coming along too.

Anyway, don't want to be a downer! I hope everyone is doing well!

Jerry, is that a get out of jail card for me?

Morning Jerry, Debbie and Eileen. So sorry to hear about your friend, Eileen. 32 is way too young for that to happen. All you need for Kedron is a harness or some velcro.

Good Morning Jerry, Debbie,Eileen and all BT'ers to come!! Happy Thursday! Only 1 more day! whoo-whoo!!

Eileen,. I am soo sorry to hear about your coworker. She was so young and any time we lose someone suddenly it makes it that much harder to cope with. Take care and know you are in my thoughts...

I have the privilege of meeting with Timmmy and his family tomorrow night! I am so looking forward to meeting Angela. So 1 more day to party time!!

Jerry, where is BOB?

OH, the knoxville news had "Matt" dancer on...funny

Hey you all! Chattanooga is 3rd in America's top 100 places to live...cool huh

Timmmy, Ft Myers is 27...I wonder why Jamestown and Monterey aren't on there?

Bob's on Bonaire.

he is...?? well, they need to get busy and get us pix huh!!!
OH PATRICK!! I MISS BOB!

Good morning everyone!

Eileen, sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

Linda, that's cute!

Kristi, Phoenix and Scottsdale are in there. Are they in order?

Kristi, You miss BOB? Are you taking some of the chemicals you give your patients? One of the big reasons Chattanooga is #3 in America's top 100 is because BOB is not there.

Hard to believe that Philadelphia is not on the list. With all the murders, drugs, gang warfare, robberies, etc. where could be a more fun place than here? I don't understand how these people came up with Charlotte, NC, when there is a haven for disaster in Philadelphia. Good God, NYC did not even make this list.

Hi Brad - you snuck in on me. Oh that's not cute - it't scary.

Here's a funny for Thursday:

For several years, a married man was having an affair with an Italian woman. One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
'Honey,' she said, 'you received a very strange post card today.'

'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later,' he said.

The wife watched as her husband read the card, turned white and fainted.

On the card was written:

'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.

'Three with meatballs, two without.'

'SEND EXTRA SAUCE'.

Hi Jim. That should have been "it's scary".

Eileen, sometimes, things just don't seem to make sense, I will keep your friend and family in my prayers.

Linda, I tried that dance the other day and it really made me happy! You got it going on!

I am trying to get hyped about my road trip to Texas, keep going over how to do it, how many miles per day, and I am going batty! I am just going to wing it all the way, get in my car and just drive till I don't want to anymore. Have to cover 535 miles per day, if I can do more, great, if not, that's o.k. I feel a lot better now, going to actually take three full days to get there, do what I gotta do on day 4, fly home the 5th. Feeling a lot better now, seems more doable now.

I actually will get to cross the Mississippi River very close to where it goes into the Gulf. I am interested to see that. Also, I go right by Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Going to spend a little extra time around there.

Chattanoga, hmmm, I drive by there too, maybe I will see what going on there when I pass through. Will be moving on down south "somewhere" in a few years, like the sound of it.

Eileen, I wish I could be there to give you a big hug.

Hi Debbie, guess where Smack and I are going soon Since this is probably going to be my last trip there for a while, I am glad I am finally getting to stay where I had planned to stay two years ago

Linda, I love that silly video - you rock girl!!!

Krispy, I hope you folks have a blast.

Hey Jerry, how ya doing?

R.A., found photos of Baboon Butts, couldn't do that to you. It must be because I am really becoming a S.N.A.G. - DANG IT

Cynde, I hopeth the wetvacth ith helpin yor noasth.

V.E.L., miss playing with ya. Toe......

P.S., DID I TELL YA, THAT ANGELFISH IS BUUUUUUUUTIFULLLLLL?

Tax Free (sales tax) weekend coming up, so am having to actually work. Not whining tho as I am diving tonight

Be well everyone.

I just don't know about Chattanoga. I had some majorly weird stuff happen to me driving in that area and at a rest stop in the middle of the day there. This happened while I was moving to Florida. I had my little Honda Civic packed to the gills, windsurfing gear on top and my cat with me.

morning everyone! I overslept...ugh...so i'm running late (what's new)..

eileen, hugs to you, it is difficult when someone we are close to goes, especially at such a young age, just doesn't make sense.

Linda, I love it! Much better then my matt dance! I need to redo mine, maybe when we go to Catalina, I can do it on the back of the boat...lol...

OK, time to get moving and get my arse into work!

tom, wetvac is heading back your way

Morning mi dushinan

Already a lot going on I see.

Eileen, that's so sad. It makes you scratch behind the ears and review your life

Linda I love that guy and Debbie is right. Try it and you will start laughing (at yourself )

Debbie take it one day at a time, then the stretch is not that scary


I think I heard something about BOB getting retired or something.

Hey BC1 good to see you're better.

Hi BC2, thanks

OK, Linda...Here we go!I am with ya Sista!

my Matt Dance In Tennessee!

Brad, my understanding is that they are in order. But, I am not certain I guess.

Debbie, your trip is so exciting!

Brad Things can get out of hand that way LOL

Linda & Kristi MATT DANCE CHICKIES

haha, your turn Bette!

LOL!!! KRISPY, YOU ROCK TOO!!!

CYN.. - TINK, YOU KNOW YOU ROCK (to me). Your Matt dance had that Elaine influence that only you can create X0X0X0

Gotta stop this chat and get back to work. However, if Jerry post a vid of him doing the Matt dance, please, please give me a call. My number is BR549 ask for Junior

I'm working on it, just you wait and see

Thx everyone. I am scratching my head, she was also so tall, beautiful and skinny, and many people thought, oh, "must be nice to be like that". Including myself in the past, yet I am the one, healthy, married to a wonderful guy, I have great friends, 3 great kids. Can't really complain now can I. I am happy to have known her, she was at our wedding and am happy to have had some great times. Everyone is saddened by the loss, many in her industry as well.

Anyway, I am glad my parents had the boys yesterday and this morning, couldn't think straight. Had a chance to count my blessings and just think. Getting those fingerprints cleaned off the windows really isn't that important.

Now, I do have good news (no I am not pregnant - can't do 4 kids LOL!). I AM GOING TO THE NE BBQ AND CAN'T WAIT TO MEET SOME OF YOU! YES THE KIDLETS ARE COMING!!!

Oh and more sad news, the view of the construction workers, soon to be gone. Joel is making the fence way too high... His email address is.... and his crackberry # is.... if you wish to support me on this one .

NOOO!! Not the construction workers!!!

BC...I missed your "Matt Dance" Please repost, thank you

Tom, I am so glad you are getting to finally stay there too! Oh, I will be there sooner, though!

Kristi - I know... And I can still see them, yet it is a 'cooler' day, so the shirts are on... Very depressing. And I want to show Kedron what to look for in a man LOL!!! (For myself, I need to joke here a bit .)

Eileen, No worries about the fence. Just have Joel build you a tree house above the fence or get a step ladder.

Eileen, I am SO very sorry for the loss of your friend & coworker. Such a short life but my prayer is she lived every moment in full. Will be thinking about her family at this tough time.

Little Kedron is getting cuter and cuter each time I see your pics Rylan has taken off like a shot and SO trying to walk. She will be a year old in a few weeks.

I'm off to email Joel right now LOL! I know you guys will enjoy that fence; they are great to have to contain pets and kids and they keep others OUT!!

Eileen, did I miss something? Was your friend sick? Or was it an accident? Sorry to be nosey, just curious I guess..

In about 30 yrs, the trees we have planted, will be big enough to hold a fort, and by then, the construction work will be done.

I just can't win!!!! LOL! As Joel would say - It's all in the Master Plan!

C'mon Eileen get out there and make some pics before it's to late

LOL, Eileen

Linda, I love you, you always have good ideas and suggestions! A ladder LOL!

Masterplan ey. Hm, he better watch out his "Masterplan" does not backfire. They usually do you know

Kristi - last year she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, all cleared up after chemo. She was healthy until a few weeks ago. It reappeared, it was very invasive and was in her whole body. Chemo didn't help. She went home to her family and passed away there. She was not married or had children. Which is sad that she did not experience it but in the same breath there isn't a hubby or significant other to mourn or children without a mom. But I don't know which way is better or what the right answer is in that one.

Shhhhh, don't tell Joel!

Eileen, you could get a small ladder and look over the fence like Wilson does when he talks to Tim in that t.v. show, that's funny!

ANd I will add about my friend/coworker, she was very well respected, and was liked, and yes she was my boss and had to do 'boss things' but that's the way it goes, she also travelled and was successful at what she did. She spoiled her nephew who was born the same year as Quinn.

In the short life she did live, she lived it. And she lived it well.

We have a telescope...

I will leave the rest up to the women of BT's imagination...

Tom and Jerry, I can't believe you are not coming to the NE BBQ...

OK, slap me for that one, I just had to!

Nevermind, I'll do it myself!

That feels better!

Eileen I am so so sorry about your friend. I can imagine how numb you are feeling. I'm glad that she did LIVE her life. And she will live on through all of the people who's lives she touched. This is very sad...

Time to turn the page...
