Good Morning Patrick, Elaine & Julia

Elaine - the first week back is always tough! Did you make plans for your next trip yet? Welcome back

Julia - thanks for breakfast....what is kedgeree? I'll pass on the kidney too!

Patrick

Hope all those in Texas are ok. So many w/o power & major flooding. Going to check out the weather channel now
Debbie - have you heard from Tiffany? Thinking about her & you & Gregg

Kedgeree: spiced rice, smoked haddock, hard boiled eggs,onions and sometimes mushrooms. I could find a recipe if you want. Makes an excellent supper if you are out all day as it can be made up earlier and heated through in the oven later. Bob makes this at our house and uses tinned salmon instead of smoked haddock.

I'm sorry but you English people eat some weird stuff for breakfast. That's all I got to say on that subject!!!!!!!!!!!

They sure do Patrick. I don't understand why they don't eat pig things all ground up in fat, then thickened with flar en butter with a dozen eggs served alongside of or, on top of hockey pucks made out of more lard and flar. HEART ATTACK, I THINK I AM HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!! Don't know why either.

Julia, I will just take a bit of the porridge, fried bread and marmalade please.

Didn't sleep much last night, dang pillows kept attacking me Wonder if it was something I ate. Nah, must have been barometric pressure.

Off to dive Karpata - ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

CYA

Oh yeah, has anyone seen my socks?
.
.
.
.
Nevermind, I found them on the kitchen counter. Here let me move them for you.

Bon appetit

Good Morning peoples...is that Linda still blabbing !??

Debbie B...how is Tiffany????

Good morning you all! Happy Karpata Tommy boy..
HI PATRICK

OK looking for Debbie B.how's Tiffany girl??

CNN just had this guy on the radio that had a 3 yr old and an 8 month old BABY in a 1920 house that was in the process of collapsing...geez

have a good saturday everyone NOT in Ike's path..
stay safe all others!

Hav a great Saturday sweet BT friends

How is everybody doing?


Debbie, is Tiffany alright?

Elaine, looking at photo's (and posting them on here while you at it) works great against PBS

Julia, thanks for the breakfast.

Mr. P., hope you have a smooth day too

Tombeaubob, happy Karpata bubbles and YGM back

Funny thing that is, Breakfast. It's the foremost important meal of the day and we make usually not much of it.
Actually the British are the only people I know who do understand the breakfast important meal concept. They love their big hearty breakfast.

Btw Those Bas pics were so cute. Thanks Pegs

morning Bettesissi...whats happening??

Bette, That means you have never been to one of my breakfast. Right Tom and Timmmy!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning everyone!!! Did we sleep well ??? I would like extra strong coffee, and a plate full of the pig fat stuff !!!

Morning Donna, any "new camera try out" pics?

Krisisis, I heard that thing about the youngsters in a collapsing house also. SCARY. Gives me goose bumps.
Seeing al those storm reports makes me feel VERY lucky living "below the winds"

Miss Bette get your butt to the States and we will show you what a big breakfast is! LOL! Patrick, wish I could join you today. I had the worst breakfast ever and will pay dearly for it later. Ugh...

Tom, enjoy Karpata! We won't be doing much today as it is pouring out. We were supposed to release fawns, but the weather is too bad. That's a big ugh as they are huge eaters.

Soooooo true Mr. P.
When can I?

Tribs, did you finds some baby deer???

Hello Bette, You should really try a good greasy American breakfast and see why we all have a pocket full of med's!!!

Randy...they tend to find us! LOL! We have 16 in rehab right now with a little over half being old enough to be released. The amazing thing is that we got a call for an "infant" fawn. Of course we are going to take it in, but we have to keep it away from the big fawns. We are all amazed that there is such a young fawn this time of year.

Btw, apparently I was speaking for Europeans only

It's ok Bette, we Americans still love you!

That is good for you to take them in. We take in cats, 2-8 a year, they somehow find our home, I take them to the vet, get em fix, and then search for a good home. Sometime hard to find!!!

How nice of you to do cat rescue. They are really hard to place. We just do wildlife and refer out the domestics. Of course every once and a while we get a domestic and do our best to place it, but they usually end up with one of our volunteers - so we really try to avoid domestics as we are all pretty much full at home.

Tribs, I have never seen a really young fawn this time of year, in south arkansas. I start seeing fawns here in mid april thru july, making me think that not all doe's are bred during the peak of rutting. My youngest girl is studying to be a vet so I am sure I am going to get educated before long!!!!!

Thank you Julia for allowing me some extra nap time.

Good morning to you Patrick.

Hi kids!
I picked up Cecil's chicken feet this am, Mr. Young that owns the Chinese store is a very funny man, always joking with me. He asked me what I was cooking for diner tonight? I said rack lamb, he replied "Wack of Wamb" My day started with a smile.

Good Morning Jerry, If I can be nosy what are chicken feet for??

Morning all Bette, I'll have a toastie please I like those for breakie when I'm on island. bongo's used to make really good one's. Guess next trip I'll have to try out Henk's new place at the Old Inn

we have a busy busy busy day today. Heading to San Diego to meet up with the head honcho for West Marine and go SHOPPING FOR FREE! lol! The
*vous* is a week from today on Catalina Island and they are donating a bunch of goods (we get to pick...teehee) for door prizes. Then I get to do MORE shoppping with money that Nordic Tug sent for additional door prizes...I LOVE spending someone elses money...lol!

Then we have to finish up the Nautical Triva quiz stuff, and have dinner with the folks that own Fiddler's Green and are supplying the BOOZE for free...

whew, I don't know why Michael volunteered for us to be in charge this year...it's been a lot of work, but fun!

(Message edited by cyndelee on September 13, 2008)

B C can I sent My Lynda with you for FREE SHOPPING !!!

OOW I love those too BC
In all kinds and sorts!!!!

Ham, cheese, tomatoes, onions!!!!!! Man o man, YUMMY!!!!!!
Maybe I'll get one for lunch!

Unfortunately Bongo's doesn't exist anymore.
I'm a bit sad because it was a nice place. Right one the beach,in the sand, enjoying the sunset and/or moonlight, sipping some cocktails or just a nice chardonnay or Polar.

Everyone have a safe and blessed day!!!!

Randy, the chicken feet are for Cecil. We are having a BT bbq in Oct and this is what Cecil wants. Imported just for him, Cynde might chew on a bunch as well?

Free shopping sounds like a blast. Have fun BC, but don't over do it!

So...I disappeared because I had to go suck up the pool forming in our basement. Thankfully we have a steam cleaner that functions as a wet vac. Looks like we need to call a foundation person as the little leak has become a flood.

Bette, Henk (who used to own Bongos) has opened a place where the Old Inn was (on the road to the Plaza). Go check it out for us and let me know how it was!

Bongo's was a great place...shame...

Jerry, oh YEAH...NOT!

Boom

Wow, you all have been busy today, even without me.
Cynde, have you gotten your package yet? It should have been there yesterday or today.

Boom?

Cynde, I had to buy 4 lbs min. You better try a few. It cost me a bundle........$3.95.

Pigs feet will be next week.

I think I need to brighten up the thread with some pictures. Hope you don't mind. These were all taken in March 04 during one of my walks on Dunedin Causeway and Honeymoon Island.




The concession stand on Honeymoon Island was used in the movie The Punisher.

Linda, it came Strawberry Shortcake is sooo cute! I need to find the "right" place for her..nice pics

Jerry, I'll eat them only if you smother them in sour cream, cheese, and bacon...lol...

Is Boom okay? Haven't heard from her in a few days.

It's a deal Cynde.

Hmmm...I think a call is in order RA...I'm ON IT!

Thanks Cynde, let me know. I have to take Rianna to her game now. She is out for a few weeks, she has an infected ingrown toe-nail but has to go to cheer her team on. I'll check back later.

Thanks Cynde. Have fun shopping for free. That's the best.
These two were taken on the same day back on the mainland at Crystal Beach.

C, let me know. It's not like her to just go MIA?????

One more time.

Tara is ok, just talked to Patrick. She's doing her Lip-Stick weekend stuff.

andy's camera went flueeeee on bonaire and i don't know what came out. he took it with him to get fixed.
checked archives and could not find my son and i downtown on web cam. i know i was in front of remax sign. waving. he thought i was knuts!!!!
es

haven't started booking for 2009. it takes a lot of work. everybody's schedule is so different. i'm thinking though. maybe i'll look up air prices.
es

OK, I have to *brag*, I snapped Strawberry Shortcake from Linda. She is soooo cute. I am going to take her to work with me


Linda, thank you as well for the beautiful seahorse! OMG, and pink is my favorite color too. I collect fairies, and am trying to figure out if I want to put her with my fairy collection (I have them hanging on a wall), or take her to work as well...


I am also thinking of Christmas gifts...how much do you charge for them? It's ok, i'm asking you so you can tell

elaine, too bad about the camera. That stinks. Maybe the shop can salvage some of the pictures and the camera.

I had better get something done around here, so I'll catch up with y'all later.

Just like Timmmy, POOF!

Cynde. You're quite welcome. I'll e-mail you later in the evening. I'm off to do chores and to look for some black and some white mohair to make a panda bear.

Awe, a panda bear!

Elaine, you need to put a pic of yourself in your profile

I looked in the archives the day you said you and your son were by the Remax sign, but found nothing

Linda - I like the way you say that...

Timmy, you still on Bon?

Still here ...

not feeling very fresh either ...

What's wrong Timmy?

I know, I know, I know!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pick me, Pick me, pick me!!!
Oooh, Oooh, Ooooh!!!!
Hand waving air.......

Well Jerry, you seems to know!!!!!!
How come???



Hm........ never mind


But yes Jerry go ahead.

What to do when 2 turtles show up at the same time. Karpata was GOOD!!

Did you have 2 camera's?

Happy, Karpata has pleased you

Where are you guys diving next?

A. It's his time of the month.
B. He's on his way home.
C. His ear is still messed up.
D. He ate donkey thinking it was chicken.
E. His flight was overbooked again.
F. He's sad to return home.
G. Tom put something in his pants.
H. But he likes it!
I. Timmy wants to change his name to Jop.

Okay, let's go over all of those.

A: Nah. I may be wrong but he doesn't strike me as the TYPE!
B: That would be a good one, but he is still here.
C: Another good one.
D: That would be quite a chicken, so nah.
E: Yep, I wouldn't feel very fresh either.
F: I would be sad too. Oh wait, I am home
G: That could be anything but I will refrain from further comments
H: Hm...what I just said.
I: Now why would he do that?!

The possible answer could be:
Messed up ear is sad to go home on a over booked flight......................

Well that sums it about up

Plus he misses Angelia. She's a very cool lady!

I just got back from chores, grocery shopping and mohair shopping. The only place in my area to find mo-hair (besides what the cat leaves all over the place) is this little place: http://www.countryquiltsandbears.com/index.html and there wasn't much there today. Looks like I'll have to shop on line.

Linda, do you have a site where I can see all that you make?

Bette, Thanks for asking, but no. I only create when I feel like it and they usually go like hotcakes. I will take a few pictures of the few bears I have left and post them later. How's that?

Have you been busy at work today?

Do you have the internet at home yet?

HUGS

A friendly heads up Linda, just don't mention that they are for sale. That Self Promo thing!!!

Have a supper weekend kids.

Check Please.

WOW I wish I was that creative (or even had the time for that)
I would certainly love to see those, Linda.

Yes, we finally (since yesterday) have internet at home. YAY now I can BT all the time

I had quite a busy week but today was a little less.

You too Jerry and behave. I am able to check in here in my spare time also now so...........

Hey Bette! How's my little Tiki girl doing?

Hey Tribs, good to "see" you!!!!

Tiki is doing fine although, due to the high temperatures, she shedded a lot. LOL Linda, you could use what Tiki shedded for at least 3 mohair panda's. I will try to post some pictures of her at home. She had such a nice thick tail do you remember Tribs. It is still nice but just not as thick anymore O well, when the temperatures drop (as far as they can drop here) it will grow back again. We have no AC in this house, so that's why she didn't shed earlier.

How are you doing? How is the "indoor swimming pool"?

Don't worry, Jerry. We are just window shopping. If you want I'll just pm Bette the links to the pictures.
Besides, I don't have enough self confidence to self promote.

(Message edited by tlraz on September 13, 2008)

Linda, any which way, I don't mind
O and don't you worry about your self confidence

On the Tiki front, I went to the vet to "help" her get rid of her vicious love bug and she thanked me by ignoring me for 1 whole week!!!!!!! But Fulco IS cute

Okay guys, I'm heading for home, hit the shower and off for dinner with Tombeaubob, Smack and some others TeeHee!!!!

Have a marvelous weekend (or what's left of it) and see you later.

Be good, stay safe

Linda says "POOF" too Awesome dives today, both of them. Yes, two good long dives are enough. Heading out to get all greasy - AGAIN (sigh - snort)

Tink, you owe me big time. I am eating every fry on my plate just for you. (dang, I almost believe that myself)

If anyone knows the number of an exterminator, I left the back screen door open this afternoon and this place is full of iguana. They are messy critters I tell you what.

HEY DEBBIE, IS THERE A LONGER GARDEN HOSE HERE?!?! Iguana doo-doo stinks (ackkkk-gag)!!!

CYA (aka "POOF")

Kathy and Larry are on the Island

boat chick
i wil;l at sometime. need to find good picture
es

Hi Kathy & Larry!! Good to hear you're there or here you're there. HA! I made a funny. Just a little punch drunk after an evening out for dinner and a new HD TV.

Linda spent some $$$$$$!!!!!!

Glad Kathy and Larry made it safely. Geoff too, I hope.

I'm sad that we've not heard from Debbie B. I hope she's in touch with Tiffany and all is as well as it can be.

Smack and Tom are having too much fun!

Safe travels, Timmmy!

I read a quote today that reminded me of Jerry. "I always cook with wine, and sometimes I even add it to the food." W. C. Fields

Have a good night, all!

Gail, is Debbie B. the lady that had the daughter in galveston???

Yes, Randy.

I hope they are all safe and okay. I will remember them.

We are now catching the rest of Ike and and the way the wind is blowing here make me thankful that I was not down in Houston, I would had been a nervous wreck!!! GOODNIGHT ALL !!!

Hang in there Ike people! This weather is just nuts. We keep sucking out our basement pool, not fun as we have more rain coming. And Bette, I told you he was CUTE! Glad to hear Kathy and Larry made it safely. Night all!
