Morning Roy, I hope your man flu is better.

The timer on Brickfish is a bit odd, it has let me vote 5 times already in the last 90 minutes (two laptops).

Frosty start here with blue skies.

I voted! Good Morning Roy and Brian (hope you are getting better Roy).

Thank-you for all the wonderful comments!!

Yesterday - Quinn got sent to the office... no cooperating... I was so embarrassed as I was helping. It was warrented and I did have a great chat with the teacher. We did laugh about it, but we also know what needs to be done. I really enjoy talking with the teacher and working with her, and she is good with the kids. There are 3 parents helping, I mainly help with crafts and decorating the room. The room will be decorated with snowflakes. Kids LOL!!!

Hope everyone is having a great morning!!! We have snow! And a month before Chrismas...

That's Christmas... Just got my first coffee...

Good morning Roy and Eileen. I voted! Do comments make her more viral? lol I just don't get this thing!

It's a nice 57 right now and I've got the sliding doors open - my puter is right beside the doors. Feels great!

Hope everyone has a great day. I hope your cold/flu thingie is gone soon Roy!

Good Morning Roy, Eileen, Kathy and all to follow...

It's warmer this morning...a little over freezing...and we have a coating of that white stuff again....last day of work for me before Thanksgiving...woo hoo!!

and Amanda comes home tonight...double woo hoo!!

I tried to vote for PS, but the top link froze my 'puter...I'll try again...

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!

Look who posed for the cam for us!!!!

Good MOrning Kathy and Donna!!!

We have lots of snow this morning yikes! The plows came through... Love the pile at the end of the driveway...

Great capture Donna! Morning everyone! I voted for PS and I have the puppy cam up already (but no pups yet). Eileen - stop saying that word already -yeeeeessssshhhh!

OK, I'll stop, no more saying bad words .

Morning All

It looks like you vote for PS every 30 minutes or so - Very odd.

Eileen please keep the snow over there, although I would rather have snow than rain.

Tribs good luck with the Pups

I voted - again!

I just voted again too. No pup cam yet.

Morning Everyone

Good morning campers. We are getting some very heavy rains today, high winds and it will be as dark as it can get for daytime, but it's warm.

Just voted for PS

Kalimata Roy.

Morning Everyone! Raining here too. Test prep day, uh!

Voted twice today for PS.

Voted.
Tommy Boy, how you feeling buddy? Snowing up there?

Good Morning Everyone!!

THANKS ROY!!

I don't get that either, or understand it. Sometimes I can vote a few times in a row, I don't know if the comments help or not, I don't really know much at all about anything
BUT I do know that I've gotten over 30 votes in the last hour!!! THANKS YALL!!!

Oh, what am I saying??? I'm not supposed to be able to vote for myself AT ALL!! Oops...

Debbie, have a GREAT day!!

Congrats to Tribs on 7000!!

WooHoo Tribs!

Go for it PS - vote for yourself .

Yes the Quinnmon is testing the limits - just too bad I couldn't go to the VP office, the VP is very nice to look at. Did I just say that?

Eileen! You crack me up! Thanks both of you. I'm officially on this computer too much - that's what 7000 means, right?

Will someone please WAKE UP THOSE PUPPIES!!!

Eileen, you are making your way over to the dark side, day by day, step by step.

Sad, it means it's sad.

We all need to get a life!

I don't help out at Quinn's school without a valid reason you know... need to get that eye candy in as the (hot & sweaty) construction season is over .

I'm off for now... crafting time with the kids - just hoping no crayons make it to the walls today .

Morning everyone - I'm home today - had foot surgery last night. Feeling fine and glazing a new line of Raku slides (clay jewelery) today.

Surgery!?!? What's up with that? Glad you are feeling fine. You know...women like jewelry.

Yes I know - and with the price of gold today ...

PS

Timmmmy - sorry about your foot surgery - hope it gets better soon!

Kristi - Quinn's Christmas concert is on Dec 18, with a very high chance that VP is there - so I will make sure to take photos - of my son singing of course... and I will post the next day... So you will have to wait for pics of the VP - I mean of Quinn singing...

Eileen, hehe. Sneaky!

Timmmy...glad to hear you are relaxing and letting your foot heal,

PS, Reeeelaaax

TIMMMY!!! HI!!!
I hope your foot gets better
Miss you, buddy!!!

Thanks Eileen & Krispy

Jerry, what does mens quick mean? I think timmy has a wife...

timmy, get well soon.

time to make the donuts!

D and S are to close together.

Good morning Grasspopper.

The puppies are sleeping, so I voted for PS again. Jerry -

I think everyones sleeping.

Not sleeping here, just cleaning house today and test prepping.

Oh, and voted for PS lots of times already, site is letting me do it quite a bit today.

Unusually busy right before the holiday.... guess everyone is trying to get stuff done before the break......hope everyone is having a good day even those who are having....proceedures done today(ewww that hurts)or are hurting.

To frickin cold here today.

Hey, I got a question that some may be able to assist with here. I want to learn Spanish. Pity that I took French in school, so no Spanish background at all, but I really could benefit by learning how to speak Spanish. Has anyone learned a different language and if so, any suggestions on what program/teaching aide to use to learn. Been researching, seems most will take 8 weeks or more to learn, but that's o.k., I got the time to do so.
I don't want to just learn phrases, but want to learn to speak it conversationally and actually understand it when spoken to me.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi BH.

Tommy Boy, if you are out there, this ones for you.

Hi Debbie! Your French will help. I like Berlitz, but you might want to take a course at a community college. Most of them offer either a conversational Spanish class or Spanish for the workplace.

Hey Jerry

Ouch - could be expensive if you go with Rosetta Stone link - click

What?

Where?

I just got called in to work ... unbelievable
see yah poof

PUPPIES ARE TEARING IT UP!!!!!
I swear they grow overnight!!!

oh, sorry..... MORNING EVERYONE!!!!

hey Boom...

bye Timmmy, oh well, he was back for a while.

is it still morning?

isnt it 3 yet?

I have a chocolate buzzzzzzz

Debbie,
Rosetta Stone works to learn a language but it is costly! Immersion programs seem to work best and sometimes it takes only a few weeks. Having French as a background certainly will help!

TIMMMY, DON'T GO!!! Is the place you work at hiring? I am looking for a job in a warmer climate. Need it -----STAT!!!

Jerry, B.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to all others.

I can speak Italian, Meat ball, I want a meat ball.

Popping in to see how you're all doing today. Taking a break from cleaning for a while. Played yesterday - have to do a little work today.

I'm going out later on to get everything else I need for my stuffing. I'm going to pick up the girls tomorrow and do my Hallmark shopping. I get all of the kids an ornament every year, and this year I'll let the girls pick out their own. I have all of my Gold Crown rewards coupons lined up! Then I'll keep the girls over night, and let them help prep and stuff the Turkey. And watch the parade! We'll head over their house around one, and carve the turkey and make the gravy there. Dinner will be around 2! I love making the holidays special!

Washer just shut off - time to get back at it so I can play again tomorrow!

someone's gonna be in twooble...

Tink, wanna be that someone has a yellow collar?

Gail, would you like "A MEAT BALL"?

Tommy Boy, like the song?

Hah, Jerry! My lunch was left over spaghetti and meatballs from Sunday!

Looks like there was a naughty little puppy somewhere!

Tom...uh...no! lol!

Gail can speak Italian!

Jwerry, were you talking olives earlier?? I found this fabulous wine, Peju, it is amazing, you'd love it if you haven't had it already!Hey Pasta fagioli to you too!

JWERRY??? I think I need smellpecker today!

RoseAnnie, yes I have tryed sum. Thy make many typs. Wat did you try and year?

Olives be Greek, not Italian. Can you say Meat Balls?

Lunch time.

RA - I can't believe you said "smellpecker" HA!!!!!!

It was a 2005 reserve cab, I have another bottle here, my pseudo boss from the Obama campaign gave me 2 bottles as a thank you.

Somebody get the smellpecker STAT!

R.A., snorting here, that is all I will say.

Jerry, c'mere

B. M.!!!!

Feel tha love? Not feeling very fresh - sorry!!!

Need a little tune to get out of this funk so I guess I'll go watch a bit of Lita, that usually helps.

Sit on that for a few years. That's one big boy there. Nice wine RA, very nice. I had a few 1997's, drank very well.

This should cheer you up Tom!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SOJxNOP37I

I'm not feeling very fresh here now, will probably sign off for rest of the day. Feeling cranky too. Off to keep busy somewhere. Lurk mode till tomorrow

Feeling a bit low Bunky, well suck it up and lets dance!

LOL! I had such a crush on Bobby Sherman! I had my walls plastered with his posters!

So did Tom!

R.A., that almost worked.

Hey Jerr, I just want to hit something repeatedly and HARD!!! How bout you meet me in my basement tonight and hold the heavy bag for me?

R.A., here is one of my favorite "kicking the s*** out of the bag" tunes

are you surprised?

Some things you just can't "Ohmmmmmmmmmm" away.

speaking of feeling fressh --- the poor guy in the dive shop has to close and clean the pool. Seems one of the kids from Devereuax (handicap) school wasn't feeling so fresh while swimming
Gonna be a quiet day out there today.

Anybody got any EggNog??? It's almost noon here and even though I've got 4 orders in front of me, I'm just not feeling it!

How do you take your EggNog?

Tom, I'm not surprised!

Boom, EEEWWWW! Egg Nog is my least favorite drink, well next to that aloe drink they gave me one time on Bonaire to rid me of an awful cold. It got rid of the cold and the contents of my stomach.

Tom, if this doesn't do it, I don't know what will! LOL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41APzy5kqBU

Tara, just put the eggnog next to the rum and
.

tip the eggnog over.

I'm done here for the day, heading home to express a little love to Mr. Everlast.

Poof!!!

R.A., you just made me smile

hmm. interesting to hear I am not the only one in a "funk"

Is it the moon? the stars?

whassup?

HA! RA - That's my song!
Someone I used to work with called me Bubble Butt.

Here, this will pick you up.

Tom, don't go yet.

where is KIV? I need a good sweet tater recipe...never made it before, is that weird?
can anyone help me or am I truly a lost cause?

meata- ball

Linda, I have been Bubble Butt to my closest friends since I was 10! LOL! When bubblicious gum came out, that became my new nickname!I can't believe I am telling evreyone this!hahahahaha

whats up with that?


zucinni

hmm RA, I meant the video, not ur bubblegum

well Kristi, the truth of the matter is.....I have a bubble butt! LOL!

eggplant

RA, we are both blessed.

Oh! LMBBO

Where did all the guys go?

it's not safe

We made them nervous.
I am off to get a pedicure now, my toes are not looking fabulous and not feeling fresh right now. I'll check in later!

Don't be skeerd Jerry. Let's talk grease guns and o-rings.

can we say o-ring on here?


parmesan

Oh yes we can say o-rings.



Meat Ball - I can speak Italian thanks to Jerry.

Size doesn't matter you know. They all serve a purpose.


What??? O-rings are essential!!

size doesnt matter??


ricotta

ok, got this in an email.

suggested to send christmas card to this address along with ones you are already sending out.

Thought I'd pass it along

A Recovering American Soldier

c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center

6900 Georgia Avenue,NW

Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

Krisp, http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/walterreed.asp

oh that stinks, I usually check everything...

how pitiful

Is it safe?

Krisp, you have a big heart, that is what counts.

Jerry, thanks for the call. So, are you going to hold the bag tonight or not

Louise does not like whin I call her a bag. She will do bad things to me when I fall asleep.

Staple gun.
Supper Glue.
Frying pan across the head.

I voted again. The puppies are back on and they are all clean. Jerry - duck! Frying pans hurt.

Good tip Gail.

Have a fun evening kids. Inside grilling tonight.

Click!

I voted again, too!

Work today was crazy, confusing, etc....but also kind of fun...I was training people to do different jobs, certainly broke up the monotony. I may go in tomorrow morning for a little to make some phone calls I can never get to...but it feels good that I don't HAVE to go in till Monday!!

Hope everyone had a good day. It's "bear season" here and when I drove around the corner on my way home, someone was coming out of the woods with a dead baby bear on the ground...I wanted to SCREAM and CRY!!!

Debbie, I have several spanish speaking coworkers, and they teach me words and phrases every day. So if you are going to do Rosetta Stone or some other program (we have it but got lazy), it's best to bounce your words and phrases and accent off a spanish speaking person. I envy my oldest daughter for her fluency in spanish. I too, took french, but one year was NOt enough!

Ok, my news for the day is I went to the peridontist for him to check out a gum receeding over one tooth and ended up having oral surgery and now have stitches across my front gum and behind those top teeth. wah That's going to go well with Turkey Dinner!

I'm falling apart! lol They had to put a bone graft in an important front tooth to save it. Who knew? The tooth was not hurting at all, but the damage was below the gumline. The did this bone graft from COW TEETH! lol Good news is all the others are OK.

So not I have stitches in my gum. Icky. Good thing it's a long weekend.

Oh well, beautiful sunset out there and no wine tonight. But it's OK, it's all good.

Seawall guy is over again, trying to get the permits finalized so he can begin work this weekend. Can't wait. We'll regain alot of land, and that means I can plant more things, um, NO CARING for things!

Good night all!

Ya'll just to quiet

Not quiet, but I'm just not in the posting horde during the day as I'm working and am gone so much. Ah well. I still chime in.

Was about to start some tunes.....hope they gave you some good pain pills at the dentist if not I think Caymus has a stash he hasn't told Jerry about.

me, too..not quiet..just busy alot of the time....and can't even look at work

Debbie - this time tomorrow it'll be all over!

Kathy - ouch! Happy to hear all your other teeth are OK

Donna - glad work was somewhat better & you had some fun too That's sad about the baby bear

Work today was really cool.....all sorts of animals out feeding. Saw a beautiful fox, a large herd of deer, wild turkey's and a hawk. This time of the year there's lots of wildlife around. Didn't have my camera but will try to get pics tomorrow

ruh roh.... we've got rain bad news so close after the fire.
But GOOD news... one of the animal control officers came into the shop a little bit ago. He said that they've been finding so many cats ALIVE! Apparently, they hid in sewer pipes and small holes so their pads on their feet are burnt and their faces singed but that's such wonderful news Over 100 people have lost cats.

It's been a pretty good day here, not too hectic but not too slow and boring. Rasta and I will have to wade out to our car though from the sound of the rain on the building.

I'm going to sign off now so that I can get to the Post Office before they close.
Sweet Dreams BT (unless I log back on from home later!)

The Caymus Stash is used up BH, I love Ebay.

Woo Wee what a day. Work was quiet but allowed me time to gets tons of billing done. We're gearing up to enjoy the Holiday starting tomorrow afternoon! Don't want to see my desk again until next Monday

Had a great night as it was Thanksgiving meal at soup kitchen. 55 people were served a warm meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, rolls and pumpkin pie! Everyone left full and I was so thankful to be there to serve.

Debbie, hope you're doing OK considering!
Good luck tomorrow. Please let us know when you're home and all is well.

Lots of hunters in the National Forest when we ride on the weekends The bear dogs make me sad!!!! Nice dogs just hate what they do!

RA, your smellp*ecker comment made me have to excuse myself LOL!

Kristi, I will PM you with the information you requested

Roy, glad you got some good rest and hope you're feeling much better!

WOW, the puppies sure did tear it up. Pee pad snow was everywhere LOL! I love them!!!

KIV - thank you for the work you and Rob do at the soup kitchen. I recently read a book - Can't quite remember the title, got it now.... 'Same kind of Different as Me'. True story by Ron Hall and Denver Moore, telling the story of Debbie Hall and her work with the homeless.. Excellent book.



Just finished watching the second half of Ransom. (Just to look at Mel!) Sometimes I just flick through the movie channels and find something I like in progress, and finish watching it! I didn't know that the kid that played the son was Nick Nolte's son. Interesting.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Eve everyone! John has a four day weekend! Wohee! We'll keep the grandgirls tomorrow night, and try to make some special memories for them! Right - Grandma stuffing the turkey!


My neighbor and I may take the collective 5 girls to Light up UCF tomorrow evening. (University of Central Florida) It's at 6:30 pm and that's when they do some special light show, and Santa is there too. Most students will be away, so it should be just locals. Sounds like free fun!

Going to see what else is on the telly!





(Message edited by ski9413 on November 25, 2008)

Oh - and most importantly - my next door neighbors may be taking one of the 10 golden puppies down the street as a Christmas present for the family! I can hardly wait to see the pup and Chaos playing together!

I want a dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My girls and I watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving specials!!!!!!!

Goodnight all!!!

Thanks, Gail! The team I have is awesome and everyone's commitment is amazing! It's very rewarding.
That book looks interesting; thanks for sharing the title with me. I might have to add that to our collection.

Enjoy your grandkids and I SO want to hear about Chaos and the puppy! Sounds like some fun is in store.

'Nite, Donna!

PUPPIES are AWAKE If you read the comments poor Poppa SFShiba fell and hurt his arm while stepping into the arena. The comments and concern from around the world are so heartfelt. Maybe I'm over-reaching but the Shiba 6 seem like such a Holiday Miracle --- healing when the world needs it most

And Kobi... it's not said enough....

You are an American Hero for all of the kindness that you do. The Soup Kitchen, the animal shelter and not least of all Hopner House and your foster child. I'm so proud to 'know' you!
Not to mention how you and yours keep us all entertained Luv Ya!! XOXO

Awww, Tara you are too kind! Luv ya back. I am thankful to know you and one day we are going to sit together and share a drink and a meal; I promise ALso thankful that you guys will have me and allow me share parts and piece of my silly life!

Your posts always make me feel uplifted and that is such a wonderful thing. Like you have said before, we're never alone and we'll always have BT!!!

Been watching that six pack of puppies!!! OMG they are just so dam adorable. If ever I have a down day or have a down moment I can go there knowing they are there It really does the world good to peek in there every day. They are a healing six pack

I read that daddy took a spill. I wonder if that was on film?!
Cynde and I just tore up blackjack on FB. We are now sore LOL! Thanks for playing Cynde

Well, I must call it a day as I be tired, tired and retired! Will see you kids tomorrow. It's HUMP DAY!!!!!!!

BIG hugs to everyone!

Man, I just had such a scare.... I was watching the pups and could only find 5. I thought one had gone We're safe for now though ~ they're just being weighed.

And I just got the word that the Bacarra Spa is providing the entire meal for T-day at the fire station.... now that I have 4 pie crusts and makings for pumpkins, peach and cherry pies I'm still going to make Mara's Buffalo Dip. It was a hit last year.

I think I want to put together a nice cheese plate to take to the wineries on Friday too.... oh Jerry!!!! What cheese would you choose. The rains are supposed to be done by Thursday.

Okay....
Kathy, sorry 'bout the stitches - that is bad timing!
Gail, I wish I were your grandchild - you do it right!
Judy, it's always great to see you - hugs to you and Les
Roy, you definitely sound like your old self - glad to have you back my friend.
Donna, no more tales of dead baby bears please - I'll have nightmares about that

Sleep Well Everyone and for a preview of what Thanksgiving is like here at BT check this out
Thanksgiving 2007

That was cool. Thanks Tara.
