GOOD MORNING BONAIRE AND TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS ON ISLAND!!!!!!

YOU TOO TOM AND JERRY!!!!!!!!!

Good morning BT chatters.

Barbara, hoping you had a great flight and are safely on island!!!!

Morning Patrick and Kobi and all to come! Have a blast Babs!

Tribs how you do-in.......

Kobi still waiting on the phone call......

Morning, Tribs!

Gail, if you're out there....just read your attempted car break in post People are crazy!!! I'm glad you're safe and your car appears to be safe as well. On the pistol part; we have many but no "license". That's on the list for this year though. I feel I need it as there are times I go back to our office at night by myself and on weekends. Please be safe; day and night!!!
Your paint colors sounds awesome; glad John likes them LOL!

Wow, it's nippy outside. The girls woke me up at 4:30 to do their business and they didn't linger; thankfully LOL! Verdict still out on whether I'll get Rylan hugs and kisses today BUT I hope so!!!!

Hi, Freddie.

Tom, I have to learn this blowing leaves into the neighbors trick. My fence runs interference for me though LOL!

Patrick Hope things are repaired and OK at your office after your break in.

Babs is MIA...she has not reported in yet and my foot is tapping...

break in?? Patrick, what did I miss?

Off to get gas for the weedwacker and chicken for Miss Luci AKA Lu Lu

Oh no Ann! I hope everything is OK with Babs. I'm on the phone with Patrick right now.

Hope she gets there soon!!! Maybe just a delay in leaving the states. Let us know when her feet are firmly on the ground in paradise.

Ann, Babs was waiting in Houston on her flight out last night is all I know.

Morning everyone...justs peeking in before running into my busy day. Amanda was here in a whirlwind last night and is taking her GRE's this morning....wish her luck!

She also applied for a job in Maryland (at NOAA, I think) as another option if the Teach for America thing doesn't work out before going to grad school...ambitious girl!

Have a beautiful Fall Saturday, ya'll...

Brrrrr....just saw our weather for tonight. Glad I have THREE DOGS Freeze warning and low 30's. Is it winter and nobody's told me?!?!?!

Ann, I used to have that foot tapping problem too. It is so embarrasing when other notice and mention it. May I suggest:

Kobi, I use one of the old half pipes left over from the days when I built high end freestyle bikes. The higher the fence, the more I jack up the back of the pipe. Just fire up the Binford 8620 Pro-elite Leaf Chucker™ (available at better power tool stores everywhere, not legal in all states)

sing with me, if you will (Patrick give us a note on the pitch pipe) "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH"

close enough, thanks

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gonna blow these leaves right onto your lawn.
Gonna blow these leaves right onto your lawn.
Will do it when your sleeping or,
when your gone
But I'm gonna
blow
these leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaves right onto your lawn."

singing while you work, makes it so much more enjoyable, doesn't it.

Hi Jahneeeeeeeeeen

Well, it is only 30 degrees at the moment and I have leaves to rake (yeah right)so,
I am gonna go put on my new ftf (favorite touque forever) and check off one thing on my Honeyyoudamnedwellbetter-Do list. Realized yesterday afternoon that if I wear it, positioned correctly

my nose stays warm along with my ears.

CYA - POOF TOO

kachug-chug, kachug-chug-chug, kachug-chug- chugchugchug - VAHROOOOOOOOOOOOMROOOOOOOOMROOOOOOOOM
"YEAH BABY, TALK TO POPPA, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANNA DO!!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gonna blow these leaves right onto your lawn.
Gonna blow these leaves lah-lah-lah-lah-lawn.....

Good for her, Donna!!! Hope everything goes well.

Thanks! I have some spare leaves (all over my driveway and lawn) if you need some Kobi!!

LOL, Tom!!! Laughing, first this this morning, is good. Thanks!!!

Oh...that would be her Biology subject GRE's...she already took the general subject ones...and did pretty well, I believe!

Mine are just now falling so I'll get Rob right out there to catch them as they fall

I have to make like a tree and leave.....gotta feed three hungry fur kids.
Promised Bon Bini steak, eggs and cottage cheese today See you guys later.

Kobi...I'm coming to your house for breakfast! LOL!

This photo is for you Tom. Wes did this to him, not me!


Donna, I'm sure she will be wonderful in whatever she ends up doing.

I'm off to Homecoming today. I really hope our guys win. We have some great football players.

Thanks Tribs! Love the kitty!!

Hope you win...love college/HS football...means so much more when you know the players personally!!

Tree time for me, too.....
beam me up Scotty....

Good Morning Everyone!!

LMAO!!!

I can just see this...too friggin' funny!!!!

I'm cleaning. Cleaning A LOT!! I honestly thought a nice bonfire of the home would have been more sufficient, but here I go!!! The kitchen has been sanitized!! I SAW germs moving in there. And I swear, that mouse of Tara's, from yesterday, was living in the fridge!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! All better now...

Kobi, I found my "ticker tock thingie" on FB, under "boxes"....it says 200 days....
C'mon, we can do this!!! If I got this much done in 2 weeks, just think what I can do in 200 days! I may even go for something he has in mind for down there, in front of a webcam, for the whole world to see!!!!! OMG!

OK, I seem to be a thread killer...but that's ok...I just entered a contest!!!! Check it out...
http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?picid=659368_84127495&pid=537467&scid=363&

Now I gotta figure out how to put it on my FB page...

Good morning PS.

Hi P.S., you aren't a thread killer, you sweety you. Been busy working on the lawn, just came in for a break. Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii P.S..

Hey Jerr, cold down your way?

It finally warmed up here. I was even able to take my touque off. Not that I wanted to of course but, my head was starting to sweat. Oh yeah for some reasons all of my neighbors laid rubber leaving the neighborhood a little while ago. What's up with that?




back to work- oh joy!!!

Got me a baby lamb on the way to work.

Hey, PS!!! OMG.....200 days!!! We can get a lot done in that time frame. I'm thinking 70lbs for this swiss roll eating fat chick LOL!
Sounds like you're a busy beaver this morning, cleaning!

WOO HOO.....Rylan is coming, Rylan is coming!! My sis says you aren't gonna belive how much she's walking. I'm like OMG, BITS, BINI, and BUBBLES.....look out little people is coming This ought to be a fun weekend at our house!!! I'll be cleaning off the entire contents of the coffee table; magazines included as she'll surely sling those off into the floor. Hmmmmm babies are fun aren't they?!?!

I'm at the office for a few. Huge plastics company gave us lots of shut down work so we're doing some overtime today. My peeps are happy as their paychecks will be plump next week
I'm happy 'cause we are busy.

Tribs, have a great time at Homecoming! Go Team, GO!!!!

PS, will hollar at ya later!!!

Morning everyone!

I'm off to feed the ponies and take a walk with the Jingle-boy and get a few pretty pictures before the leaves are gone.

Then... just for fun ya know... I get to drive to Green Bay and go see the lovely Delta people about the severe damage they did to my suitcase on the BON-ATL leg of my journey home last week. It's completely trashed!!!

I've got my eye on a new bag a friend told me about that only weighs about 6# empty and it's made out of BCD material - ought to be tough and hold up to the abuse of the airlines!!!

I'm getting mauled by a couple irritated cats and a persistant collie... I guess it's feeding time at the zoo, LOL!

See y'all later!



Timmmmy and Tom... does this come close to qualifying for the squid whisperer certification?? LOL

You are one sick puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!

They belonged to BOB, smell like a Spring Morning?

OMG, TOM!!!!! You're making me wee myself
Um, that looks like it is a good wind breaker? Keeping your nose and mouth warm for the winter months ahead yet still allowing for visibility!

You're neighbors surely think/know you're not right?!?!?!

Becky,

Be safe on your trip to see Delta! Sorry about the baggage damage! (Say that fast a few times LOL!)

Hope you get satisfaction out of them and get the bag you deserve!!! BIG hugs to you and your zoo members


NICE PHOTO, BECKY!!!!!

(Message edited by ayorkiemom on October 18, 2008)

Tom... sumpin bout u just ain't right. I like it!!!

Wow, how'd that pic get so big??? It's only 45kb?

It's BIG and it's awesome so we don't care You did good, Becky!

Becky, awesome pic!!! Yes you are a S.W. for sure. I like you too (he says while blushing).

Jerr, you say that like it is a bad thing.

Kobi, the neighbors can go **** er, bless themselves! Right?

Okay, I really have to go, I think there is still one neighbor at home. Gonna go move leaves in front of their house. Touque - CHECK!!!

PASSENGERS PLEASE RETURN YOUR TRAYS AND SEATS.........

POOF

I had to turn on the heat in my office, sad, very sad.

Nice pic Becky.

The leaves be falling now. Louise needs a new vac, that will make a nice Birthday gift no?

Um, a really nice birthday gift Are you going for the one that NEVER loses suction? Dyson? She can't use that outside though so maybe a Shop Vac with super sucTION is the ticket.

I think she would like this?

Cwap, we're sitting here waiting on a UPS RED SAT delivery package that isn't coming LOL! Called the VERY nice UPS people and got VERY nasty with them. Can they do anything right?!?! Except raise their rates?

My vendor shipped babbitt bearings, yesterday, for this rush job. Delivery was to be today. Tracking info says....."delivery-rescheduled". UM, who rescheduled? Not moi!

Called customer's cell to break news to them; surely I'll be getting a return call and will have to turn the volume down on my cell phone
I better POOF myself outta here and head home. Rylan's coming so I'm still in a good mood. Will have to buy several cases of MGD or Coors for our customer after all this.

See you guys again later when Rylan gets here

Sweeeeeet, Jerry I want you to be sure to video the gift giving event; this we wanna see LOL!

Truth be told, I'd like that dam thing myself LOL!

YES.....KOBI, call me when you can!! We must talk

OK, I got that stupid contest thingie posted on my FB page, MySpace and I put it in my profile on here. It's like the thing my friend Carlos did, but I'm SO not singing. Just had to upload a pic of a painting. I only have 2 votes, but I moved up from 179 to 132 already. I don't know how that thing works, but I figured it would be fun

I think you get points for reviews, votes and how many times it's posted online. I don't know. I don't think I'll ever know...we'll just see what happens!!

GMJ.
Thanks Tom. You look cute in your headgear!!

You now have 3 votes..... Back to painting!

Thanks Gail...I'm trying to post this everywhere...I don't know how tho!! I'm not too bright...

4 votes.

Dang, I started at 179, now I'm at #30!! I don't have a CLUE how this works!!!LOL

It seems people likes your fishy.

Hi Patrick

Yeah, but there's 71 days left...lots of folks can still enter and it gets weird!! Remember when my friend Carlos was on there?? The people that won, oooo, they couldn't sing at all. I really wanted him to win. He has some great talent.
I'm just there for fun!!!

Morning Everyone
I made it to the gym this morning - did pretty good considering I'm still a little pukey.
Guy is on the helicopter today, so I brought paperwork home. Hello LogMeIn

Yeah Rylan gets to take over Kobi and Rob's house!!!!!!

This morning's sunrise was outstanding. I didn't have time to take pics but I'm thinking the sunset tonight is going to be stupendous. There are light little clouds dotting the sky... just a gorgeous day.

PS - I voted

Hello everyone. Been at work, food store, got some nice porterhouse steaks for dinner and other goodies, and stopped for some long sleeve shirts that I "hope" Brandon will wear. Seems that he grew so much since last winter, none of his shirts fit anymore, so try buying cool shirts for a 14 y.o. that is over 6 foot tall. We'll see if he likes them when he gets home, got back and he was gone, hubby is on leaf patrol outside, so I got the whole house to myself it seems. Hmmm, what to do next?

PegiSue, you got another vote.

Tom, too funny.

Becky, nice!

Kobi, enjoy Rylan today.

The leaves here are going crazy. Falling down big time and wind has picked up and those nice warm temps are gone, had to break out the long sleeve shirts. Fall is official now.

Off for a bit

Thanks!!

I'm sorry you are pukey still
But, you got a good sunrise!!!

I can't wait to see some Rylan pics!!! I need a fix!!!

I need "reviews" & ratings...other than G wanting to marry me!!!LOL
He keeps asking THAT!!!!

DANG!!! Yall got me ranked at #14 ALREADY!!!! This is too cool!!!
I'm kinda smiley today!!

Debbie, if you tell Brandon that you got some hideous shirts, he'll love them. Oh, maybe that only works on girls...don't ever tell them that YOU think they are cute. Total waste of money!!!LOL

PS, I'm confused?

Voted! I love that painting!! You're doing good, PS! Wedding proposal? Hmmmmm NO thanks LOL!
Tara, sorry you're under the weather! Take care of yourself and get better soon.

We decided to nix the riding today. Wind has picked up and the rush job thing really took our morning and our priorities.
Haven't heard from my company but assume they will be in bound shortly.

PegiSue, Did you give G an answer? Inquiring minds want to know!

PS, you got my vote and review . . . How often can we vote? What do you win? I will email a few friends and ask them to vote too.

Link to Pegi Sue's entry in the art contest:
Angelfish

He wants to do it secretly on Bonaire, in May, in front of a webcam!!! THAT'S REAL SECRETIVE!!!LOL

Don't worry, Jerry, I'm confused too

My mama's babysitting Henry right now...she's telling me that "He's SO cute!!" and what all she has fed him today. Lots of shrimp. And his water is very warm. How funny!! Her "GrandTurtle"!!!LMAO

Hi all,
Jerry, you movin' any valve stems, today?

oooooo Let's all be there with G to see the surprised look on PS's face when he asks. PS please say YES so G won't be disappointed in front of the world on the cams :-)

It's about time you show up you sh..head!


Hi Steve, it's been a good day so far, thanks.

Last night was pretty nice - we ended up sitting out on the patio till after midnight. My friend has worked hard all her life making it up the corporate ladder to the corner office, been a single chick for most of it, always set aside 15% of her income for her retirement. She just retired two years ago --- she's lost over 300k so far (kind of makes me glad that we don't have that kind of $$).... needless to say she was glad that I said we should just stay here rather than going out. Best restaurant in town, now if I could just find those dang dishwashers.... my kitchen needs attention!
Hi Kiwi, Debbie, Denise and anyone else lurking...

BABS!!!! where are you????

I love you too, old man.

Um if y'all are planning all that you gotta wait till we get there, PS

I just got an ear full from my customer! Glad I'm home as IT'S TIME LOL!

Hi Boomie

Krispi and Kenny started something
next up PS and G

then who??? Becky, you got something in the works? Babs???? Kiwi!!!!!

Out to battle the yard. Have a great day, everyone.

Well, from what he's planning, YOU will HAVE to be there!!! To hold me up!!! Reception...Before, during AND after...LOL

Tara, OUCH on your friends losses! We're buying stocks right now; best time to do it I guess. Still a scary adventure none the less.
I love your little piece of paradise; your patio is so nice!!! Glad you were there for your friend; that means so much.

I have to run wash my nappy hair here before my Mom gets here! OMG I can hear her b**ching now LOL!

PS, your Mom is a good turtle sitter is sounds like

LOL, PS I'm gonna be there for sure!!!

Kiwi, HI an BYE. Yard work?!?! OMG I have a weed garden that I need to work on before Mom comes too. Dam there is not enough time and I can't go out there with wet hair!!! Mom you're either gonna whine about the hair OR the weeds but not both!!!!!

Did he call me an "old man"?

Um, I think that is what I read?!? You're not old you're just well seasoned. Isn't that a nicer way to put it?

Kiwi, me thinks you be in twouble!

Cool, PegiSue!

Jerry, Old? No way! Why, you got the spunk of a twenty y.o.! What are ya now, 30?

Kobi, forget the yard, go for the hair. The yard ya can blow off due to work and get outta of that one easy. Have fun! Big hugs to Rylan.

I just hit #1 on "newly popular"!!!
And #10 in ranking out of 229

I have GOT to get off here and get to my mama's!!! But this is SO exciting!!

OYE.....just talked to my sister and they have not left yet. Rylan was screaming in the background! I told sis to leave the screaming meanie at home They're 1.5 hours away so I do have time for a few chores.

The dogs are a bit uneasy when little people are here so we'll see how they are this visit since she's more mobile They'll have to run from her now though......LOL! I'm sure a story will follow this visit.

Thanks, Debbie! I'll do just that.

PS, you're kicking arse and taking names!! if you were hear we could eat swiss rolls together to celebrate.....LOL!

See you guys later. Hair needs help and am off to do the pedi/mani thing too!

Have a great afternoon, gang!

PS - you're now a 10 - but we already knew that. Marriage proposal? You've not kept me up on your current status!

Kobi - You've gotten the big boo-hiss award on posting Rylan pictures - so you have to redeem yourself today. I with you on the weedy garden! Two weeks ago my MIL was here, commented she wished they lived closer to us so she could help me with the yard! What was she trying to tell me??!!!! Did it occur to her that her precious son could get off his gaming and do a little work in the yard - NOT!

I've bitten off more that I can chew on this painting gig. I want it done by Tuesday because I'm hosting Bunko, and wanted it to look nice - and the finished part DOES! But I still have to buy the gifts, decide what I'm serving, and clean the house! And since I started painting, stuff is piled everywhere. It'll all come together I'm sure! It always does......

John is at the grocery store buying the stuff he needs for his seafood gumbo tomorrow. He's turning into Jerry, Mr Chef! I'm a very plain cook, as learned from my mom. She cooked for 13 people so never had fancy stuff or used lots of spices, just basic meat, potatoes, or veggies or simple casseroles or stews. And lots of spaghetti! Cheap and it went a long way!

Break is over. Carry on!

LOL I was just talking about getting old to my mom's husband last night in an email. I thought that was a strange thing to say to him but it's true enough - I'm over half way to the finish line.
So it's 10:00 and I just realized that our youngest kitty is still in bed - usually he's out on the patio first chance.


This will be my office today (working on Financial Management for the Closely Held Business Oh BOY)
I wish the beautiful sky had come out better - it's really nice out.
And one last one....
I got this plant last week and I just LOVE it.

It's called a Curly Wurly. Guy isn't as crazy about it as I am but... oh well.

Hi everyone. I've been up, out, spinned/spun, shopped and back. Now I'm hungry and ready for a late lunch.

Looks like everyone is having a busy Fall weekend. I can't wait for a little bit of that myself.

Good to see PS back - I voted for your painting a minute ago.
Hope Babs made it to Bon safely and the water has cleared up for her.
Tom, I can't believe you actually wore your touque (sp?) outside. Naw, I can believe it.
PATRICK are things back to normal at work yet? Hope so.
Kobi, I saw those swiss rolls at the store. I smiled, thought of you and walked away. I'll find some other food to be bad with today. Chips and dip I think.
Tribs, poor kitty and go team go.
Cool pic Becky.
Everyone have a nice afternoon.

My current status...oh golly...
Sometimes things happen in life that are very hard to deal w/. Everyone deals differently. Some people that normally handle stress very well, are having a VERY hard time handling it in this economy. And what they need most is not more money to help them, but some support. To know that they are loved & not alone. It will help to get through whatever comes. Knowing that they are not alone is a very big thing. This has been realized my me & by George. So, we will handle this together and know that if we have each other, WE will be ok. Like Tara said, WE will all be fine, we have each other here on BT. G felt like he had no one. But he did. He just needed to be reminded.

Hi Tara, Nice pictures. Like the plant, love the kitty.

And that is all I have to say about that...
Well, and of course...IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!

Babs is here. She arrived 8 AM stating it took 1.5 hours to get her luggage and 1.5 hours to get her truck. I have no idea what happened today but she was frazzled.

PS

I'm really proud of how well my friend is handling things. She used to be a very stressed out executive, now I like to think I've rubbed off on her a bit Faith, Hope, Helping Others and a Positive Attitude are things money can't buy!

Hi Linda -- kitty finally got up and came out into the sunshine. Now maybe I can make the bed.

I've gotta phone date with my mom --- no politics allowed! I'll catch back up with ya'll in a bit.

Yeah Babs!!! Thanks for the update Ann. I was worried.

OK, I'm outta here...I have a playdate w/ my mommy

I got to #7 as of now, but I'll be checking in. The views must be helping too!!! Thanks so much, EVERYONE!!

C'ya later!!!

It's 2:30 and I've finally taken my shower. I'm out of here for a while. Got to wash my poor truck. It's only been 4 weeks. And more shopping.

Poof

Well I'm back
I had a very nice chat w/Brother Patrick and my mom.

Gail that's some scary stuff --- I hope hey catch the guy and that he's the only one. Between the economy and meth there are a lot of desperate lost people out there right now.

I'd better get in there and at least get that kitchen cleaned up. Then bills to pay and at some point some book work done....

it's just so darn lovely out here in the sunshine.

Stevey-Boy, I took it upon myself to make a few adjustments to your profile, I trust you will approve.

Have a fun evening kids.

Becky - Yes certified whisperer

Hi to the rest of you all

Poof

Ok, I'm REALLY confused...P & G wedding????

BTW, I just voted for you!!!

Wow, y'all have been busy today

Tara - you have got to be joking on whether I've got something in the works - Been there, done that, got the "paperwork" to prove it! Cool plant by the way!

Pegi - I'm voting for you as often as it will let me. I really like that painting!

Timmmy and Tom - thanks for the certification, does it count toward Master Diver? LOL!

Kobi - enjoy the "little people" visit. The dogs will be cool with her once they figure out she is also a food dispenser LMAO

Here's a few pics from my day:

Beautiful Becky!!

It let me vote for you twice so far Pegi!

Hi all, looks like you had a great afternoon. I did too, finished two lawns went for a short ride. Don't worry Jerr, no pics.

Kobi, I hope you have a great time with Rylan.

Beck-ee, hope Delta made right by you.

P.S., WTF?!?! Like en-gayge-ment, wish you well. Now who is George going to marry?

Gail, company that think how your place looks matters, well, they don't matter. GO JOHN, GO!! Gail, my mother was a basic cook, don't know how she fed so many with so little for so long. There were only seven of us but, there was usually a great-aunt (sometimes two) living with us and at times some of our (my bros and mine) friends that needed a place. Someone show up on the doorstep, they had a place. Can still hear Pops saying "Lucy, put more water in the soup and another bowl on the table." Was great growing up in a house like that, wasn't it?

Tar-ah, there is no finish line, don't look for it, don't plan for it, say to hell with it and stop talking "old". Isn't it funny dear lady, that money can't buy the most important stuff.

Linda, I hope you didn't think of me as being a Ward Cleever type! I might mature one day and be more "normal", right now I have too much fun being abbynormal. Oh yeah, KUDOS on the shower, I bet Terry is happier. SLAPPPPPPPPPPP

Ann, thanks for the update. Don't worry, her hair is always like that.

Timmmy - YO!!

Jerry, being a slob tonight, garlic encrusted roast pork tenderloin, twice baked potatoes, and maple glazed baby carrots. Tomorrow I'll try harder (Fluffy will be p****d) Leg of lamb, sauteed green beans with toasted almonds and a simple, spinach/marinated onions/tomatoe and feta salad. Do you think I need a starch? Me neither. Either that or MacDonalds.

Hi Donna

Must go, my little chef in training (Benny) is helping me with dinner so, I have to go learn something from him

YO YO YO Sup Tom

No pics Tom
me either...really wanted to, though....some of the trees are already bare..won't be long nakey trees...ugh!!

Good, tiring day....a little shopping and lunch with an old friend and then picked up Andrea and came home...making sloppy Joes for dinner and tomorrow church and the Philly Zoo!

Beck-ee, when I posted earlier all I saw was
"your picture here" or whatever. Those pics are beautiful. C'mon girl, fess up, you live here in Vahmont somewhere. You can tell me, I won't stalk ya - MUCH

Yo Timmmmy, nadda, just felt like saying Yo

Donna, I only took two pics, camera is in one of the saddlebags so Jerr-ee will have to wait until tomorrow.

Forgot to mention, the baby carrots are being sauteed with fresh Ginger - mmmmmmmmmm

Bike is gassed, windscreen is clean, my FTF (touque) is now with leathers so I am ready.

Weather forecast is:

Tonight: Generally clear. Low around 30F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.

"Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 53F. Winds light and variable."

I hope Fluffy gets over being mad, as I might want her to ride tomorrow as it might only be a balmy 30 degrees when I leave. Gotta do what I gotta do. (it's all part of my not being "normal")

Hi kids, I'm back!!! I had to move Henry, again...but he's sitting here all happy next to me, til the tank warms back up.

HEY TIMMMY!!! I miss you!! Tell Angela I said "HI!!!" And, I think we should have another mini-meet. You aren't on here enough, so I think I'll just have to come there and bring Henry, so he and Tippy can play!

Tom, I don't know who?? That one never crossed my mind...... I do know that it'll be a while.

Yall's pics of the trees are just so GORGEOUS!! I would like to go North one year for a vacation. I just want to see that and smell that air

Well, yall have moved me to #3 since I've been gone!! HOW COOL!! But, 71 more days?? I think it's gotta be downhill from here...Who cares??!! It's FUN!!!

Hey P.S., thay am all gone so I will let you in on a seekrit. ahl mah pikchurs cayme on poas kards.

Hey Tom-ee, You can stalk me anytime... but I'm perrty sher I'm from 'Skon-sin since I can smell that "dairy air" ROFLMDAO

Afternoon! I totally crashed I started looking through cookbooks and darned if that snuggly blanket didn't get the better of me.

I'm hoping that G&I can take a drive tomorrow. You've all inspired me to get some SB Fall pics.

Becky, Jingles is so handsome and my gosh your landscape is just amazing. I knew you'd have some beauty to share

Donna glad that you had a nice day with your girl. Hope she did okay on her test.

Tom, what time is dinner? I love ginger carrots.

SPARTANS WON!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!

Ok, so great pictures, except for the thong. I love your office Boom. And Becky, that picture of Jingles - wow!

Just hanging out tonight, taking the night off, feels good as it is just too cold for me to go outside tonight. IT will take me weeks to adjust to this cooler weather, but bright side, I get to get back to Bonaire and warm up again pretty soon too! But tonight, hot cocoa and snuggling up with my honey sounds better than working.

No fall pictures here, leaves stopped turning and all are just a falling. Some areas of color are to be found here and there.

Tom, on the bike with a balmy 30 degrees, say it isn't so, way too cold for me and I used to ride a sportster in my younger days, you better break out the chap stick and long johnnies!

Relaxing and doing a little laundry and odds and ends here tonight....nice to have Andrea home...Amanda was here last night but is back at school now...

Congrats on the win, Tribs!!!

Ginger carrots sound yummy!! Pass some down here!!

See ya'll tomorrow...BT hugs!!

Beau, they certainly look like postcards!!

Donna, it is nice to see you're relaxing and having a nice weekend!! This is GOOD!!

Ok, so I moved Henry. I always have him in a little bowl when I move him so he can't get hurt. I just put him in his aquarium, and he's not using one of his legs! WHY?? I think he just likes messing w/ me...I really believe that.

I am just hanging out, in my nice clean house, w/ my furbabies all around me. This is nice
I think my mom is happy to have her house back. My animals took over!! Spice and her big siamese, Teddy, both thought they were the alpha cat...that was interesting...
She misses Bastian, who she refers to as "ThumbTack"...and I don't think she meant it in a good way

PegiSue,, you're up to 3! I voted for you...I like yours the compete best.

I spent the afternoon painting an accent room on the bedroom. KIt's definitely Bonaire Yellow, kind of a hard color to get even, it turns out.


I think I told Eric I was gonna do this....he may be surprised.....

Beck-ee, we have Dairy-Air here too, miss it when I'm gone. Nothing quite as pleasing to the nose as a Guernsey (Holsteins just can't compete), especially if she has been grazing on clover. ROTTLMAO!!! We are currently working on adding Squid Whisperer to KADUI's other popular and rewarding courses: http://www.victorysports.net/kaduiclasses/

P.S., I didn't vote for you but, Beau did I understand your Mom's nickname for Bast***, Caillou can be a little **** too. One minute purring on his back demanding belly rubs, next minute tearing you up.

I would love to share those carrots with all of you but, the kids ate them all and wanted more. Benny (certified carrot hater) said "cook them like this everytime and I will eat them". The maple syrup glaze won the kids over

Debbie, don't be such a wuss, c'mon jump on and dig the fresh air. No really, heading out tomorrow early for a bit of solo riding then am going to hook up with my Baby Bro (he loves it when I call him that-NOT lol), we are going together to see our Mom then we are heading out with a few others to ride some gaps

Jahneeen, I know, I know. Next time I will wear the blue one with the dolphin on it.

Oh yeah P.S., whisper "Turtle Soup" to Henry, I bet his leg is magically better. Wilbur used to want to be carried everywhere. He would "play" hurt until we caught him at it. Now when he lays down, all I have to say is "Honey, get the noodles." and he is up and running immediately.

I saw BEAU's vote!!!!LMAO
You are too funny! Thanks!!!!

Now I'm going to talk to Henry...

I went out there and he's swimming like a real turtle. I knew he was messin' w/ me!! He didn't see me come out the door!! Dang turtle!

I'm going to bed to watch mindless tv and not look at that "Brickfish" thing anymore today. I'm tired. Yall have a good nite AND THANKS!!!!

Oh, man, Tom...I always wondered what KADUI stood for. I love it. Our joke here is HODA diver(Hard On Divers Association) for all the strutting Coldwater Heros.

I think you better read that fast...it may not stay long....


I have to go to Target and do errands now. RosAnne, I'm scared...I need you!

"CB", read it - puffers are everywhere, aren't they? LOL

Have had a lot of fun with KADUI over the years, and to think it all started in a bar in Miami

Haven't had a real KADUI Certification party since 2003, used to have a blast at them. My favorite: http://www.victorysports.net/kaduinews/

Good night moon.

CB, Sorry I couldn't be your wingman in Target, it's okay...I have faith you will be alright!

Love everyones pictures!

Tom, YGM....my damn eyes again

We really haven't got any fall pictures yet, leaves are still pretty green and trees are full.

Great pictures today!! Love them all.
Tribs, glad your team won!!! My Hokies bit tonight

Becky, I about fell off the couch with the "Dairy Air" LMAO We have that about 500 yards from here but somehow it smells like it's in the house alot LOL!
Moo Cow's as Rylan understands them!
Mr. Jingles is a VERY regal, handsome man

PS, I'm happy for you!

Everyone arrived safely late this afternoon. Met Mom, Sis and Rylan at a local consignment store. They bring a lot of Rylan's cute clothes up here to consign; we have a really nice kid's shop.

The house is all quiet after lots of play.
Everyone else is in bed refueling for another day
Heck, it's already another day here on the east coast LOL

P.S., Beau has voted three times, is that legal?

I LOVE BEAU!! But, PLEASE, don't tell him I said that... I could just see him and his cousin Bob showin' up at the door!

Beau's smiling. OH FOR GOSH SAKES BEAU, PUT YOUR TEETH IN!!!! What? I think you left them on the porch railing - go look for them yourself. GEESH.

WOO-HOO, it has warmed up to.... NOPE HAS DROPPED EVEN LOWER TO 27 DEGREES. Might need to go adopt Fluffy's brother or sister for today's ride.

I think it's 60 here this morning!! I might have to break out my one piece bathing suit and toe socks w/ my flip flops!!

We want pictures!!! LOL

Just loving the pictures from Y'all

Ahve ah bin votin tooo PegiSooo

Tom, loving the KADUI!
I actually know a person that is an advanced KADUI diver

PS - I'm going to vote again today!
