Here is the ugly lizard we are pet sitting, it creeps me out and gives me the evil eye when I walk by it. It rattles it's tail when it is going to attack it's prey...it's ICKY!

Hi RA, so is it's tail a sort of equivalent of the Dinner Gong ?

oops still got those Chinese signs on my mind when I posted the link to Part 2!!

Hey! He looks cool! What type of lizard is it?

RA, YGM, and I have BEAUTIFUL windchimes!! Thank you!! Girlfriend, what am I gonna do w/ you????

Hey everyone, IT'S TIME!!!!!!!

And I'm SO glad it's time...I think Mom and I both could use a nice iced-tea glass of bourbon right now. with a straw!

Patrick, thank you for calling. I'm so sorry I couldn't talk. And thank you for calling Tara.

Yeah!!! It's time


I just got an email from Mercy - her son is safe
"Jordan was sent home a few weeks ago, thank god. What a terrible thing...and Jordan is also a helicopter pilot. But he really doesn't pilot anymore."

PS - please give our BT Mom a huge hug from me - I give really good strong hugs so make it a good one!!

I will do that tomorrow Tara! Thanks. She needs lots of hugs. We had some not-in-the-least-bit-happy things to do today, but then she wanted to go shopping, 'cause I still didn't have a dress for Saturday. So, we did. We even laughed a little. It was good.
The woman working the dressing rooms may have committed herself by now. I truly believe that she thought we were insane!!

Have a nice evening everyone.

Nite Jerry.
PS, I'm glad you two have each other.

Hi Tribs, I am told by the resident lizard expert (Rianna) that it is a Leopard Gecko. He acts like a rattle snake with his tail...he's very strange.

Thanks RA (and Rianna)! I thought it was some type of Gecko but couldn't tell from the photo. I love those critters!

RA, nice lizard I think I'd be a bit wigged out myself but you're good to lizard sit LOL!
Oh and YOU DO ROCK, GIRL!!!!

PS, hug to you and your Mom. I know the days ahead are gonna be tough but we're here with you; the miles apart won't stop us.

Tara, glad Guy's safe and also glad your little furbaby is OK as well. Everyone here is better today so I'm happy!

Cynde, that is one helluva big fish! I'd be SCREAMING underwater LOL!

Kobi, they are "gentle giants" very calm, move slow unless you SCREAM 'HOLY COW LOOK HOW BIG THAT ONE IS' and squeel with excitement...i scared the REALLY big one off, he was more than six feet long, with a 3 foot girth.

I need a vaca! The last three weeks of work have just kicked my tail and everyone that works for me. Business is booming but we need time to catch our breath!!!!

I'm heading home, this weekend, for Rylan's FIRST birthday so will try to chill some then! Rob is staying back as we don't have a puppy/house sitter My family is OK with that as Rob is hosting us a week at the beach; so we'll all be together again very soon! Rob will celebrate her B day with her while we're there
Her auntie and uncle Rob bought her this...



Rylan will be stylin this weekend and she can even haul a friend with her LOL! Auntie Kobi has to figure out how to cram that into the Subie and hit the trail Saturday; party is Sunday. Going down early for retail therapy

Dang, Cynde....that is H U G E!!!! I guess I'd love to see that BUT I know I'd squeal like a baby LOL! I have always heard they are gentle but anything BIGGER than me UW is just weird

Just popping up for a quick one! A little joke for today.....

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.

They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.

The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' blonde in a topless bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare.

As the blonde passed them she smiled and said 'Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father,' nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned.

How in the world did she know they were priests?

So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them!

Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde,
wearing a different colored topless bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said
'Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father,' and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, 'Just a minute, young lady.' 'Yes, Father?' 'We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?'

She replied, 'Father, it's me, Sister Kathleen!'

Here's another joke to end the evening...

The Jewish man said, "Last week, my wife and I had great sex. I rubbed her body all over with schmaltz (chicken fat), we made passionate love, and she screamed for five full minutes at the end !"


The Frenchman boasted, "Last week when my wife and I had sex, I rubbed her body all over with butter. We then made passionate love and she screamed for fifteen minutes !"

The Italian man said, "Well, last week my wife and I also had sex. I rubbed her body all over with olive oil. We made love, and she screamed for over six hours !"


The other two were stunned. The amazed Frenchman asked, "What could you have possibly done to make your wife scream for six hours ?"


The Italian man said, " I wiped my hands on the bedspread.


g'night all...

Gail, LOL! Reminds me of the matching tourists in Bonaire
Donna! LOL

Kobi, I can't believe that Rylan will be one! This year has gone so fast. She'll love her new wagon!! I can't wait to see pics from this weekend
