Good Thanksgiving Eve morning to all....
I'm up early to go into work voluntarily for a while to clean up some stuff I need quiet to concentrate on....then the holiday officially begins!!

My girls are both here and I'm looking forward to my whole family being together.

Pies...I'm baking pumpkin....picking up a fresh-baked caramel apple from a local business that is selling them...and have an already 1/2 eaten pumpkin from a friend in the fridge!!

I am going to celebrate your Thanksgiving!!!

How exciting!

My puter was hit with a virus last night... ONly couple things erased. Hopefully all is cleaned up... Nothing exploded, which is good!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Good morning Donna, Denise, & Eileen! I've been voting as much as I can! I loved getting out to my car at 5:45 this morning to find that ice on the windows that you have to chisel to get off!!! I hate cold weather. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. I, unfortunatly, will be working. Babies never stop, that's our motto!!

Jerry - nope

Have a wonderful day Everyone

Good morning everyone.

Yes, Jerry, I remember those little pies when I was living in Mass. Dad always brought me a blueberry Table Talk when we went on our picnics in the Blue Hills or out to Glouster. Thanks for the memory.

I forgot about pies. Since it's just Ter and I and he is sick again..... When he's sick he doesn't eat. I'll just have to whip something up.

Everyone stay warm.

Off to work for me.

Morning BT'ers!

I am thankful for all of you!!

My Mom is bringing a pumpkin pie and pecan. I am sure she bought them not made them. Her arm is still healing from surgery and well....she can't cook...at all, really!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hope your family time is blessed.

(PS, YAY!)

Hope you all do NOT explode from the food tomorrow.

Hope I don't explode from the food tomorrow, haha

he's sick again Linda? sorry to hear it!! Hmm..wish I could find a way to stop eating...being sick isn't really worth it though...
hope he feels better soon!

I am going to make KIV's sweet taters..mmmm..mmmm.mmmm

Morning Kristi. I hope I don't explode from eating, too!!!
Yes Terry is sick again. I feel so bad for him. He tries so hard not to wake me up with his coughing, but I tell him to hack away - no problem.
If you all want to see what was happening last year this time - go to yesterdays thread and click on Tara's link to that time.

Here are the doves I shipped off to my sis yesterday. You know who wanted to eat the ribbons.

Hi Kitty Ashley Hi everyone!!!!(yes you too PATRICK)

Unless my buddy/bro Matt brings his (much enjoyed) apple pie, all that are served will have have come from our little bakery down the road. I am going there to pick up some pies and as Jessie's (our Thursday Daughter) birthday is Friday a cake I ordered as well. Let's see, eat too much during the day then, repeat at night topping it off with birthday cake - think I better get some of those Frank Barone "stretchy pants" to wear

Linda, sorry Terry is sick, hope he feels better - STAT!!! (sorry Tink)

Getting ready for a sale to end all sales here. I love sales absofr*****lutely love em- NOT!!! Jerry, I am looking for a new job so, if you put me through a remedial valve cap dusting course I will work for your Duck Confit and spam pate

Gosh, I miss Peter Doyle playing the S.N.A.G. (Sensitive New Age Guy) Frank Barone.



CYA - POOF!!!

(Message edited by vtscuba on November 26, 2008)

Linda, I used to want on of those little cutie pies but Mom would never buy them.

I made our traditional Armenian dessert Kadayif in between my severe vertigo and nausea. Not sure I feel up to driving up to Mom's. Thank goodness Mags can drive now. I have been sick as a dog.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling better Ann...inner ear inf.???

Sorry to see people not feeling well.
Tom, if was you, (heavy medication)I would find a quiet sport and put on a Yanni CD.

you are so crafty Linda...they are pretty.
I am not crafty at all...my grandmother was...it ended there I think...so sad

I like pie......

.

Good morning Grasshooper

Ann, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, if you make Keba for me, I will make the syrup to drizzle over the Kadayif.

Now I am hungry......

Jerry, no Yanni, not allowed.

Morning Everyone!
HUGS HUGS and more HUGS to everyone feeling under the weather (where did that saying come from). And a few extra just for giggles

We've had major rain here (good old Cali saves it all for one big down pour) ~ bad timing for the fire victims. They all had to be evacuated again last night due to concerns about flooding. I don't know when they will be allowed back home but probably late this afternoon if the rain stops. Can you imagine?
Makes me really not feel sorry for my two kitty boyz who are whining about wanting to go outside!
Tom, I LOVE Everybody Loves Raymond. What a great show.

I can't imagine it will be very busy at my shop today --- especially if the street is flooded Ooops! maybe I'll just have to go down and grab some paperwork, fill a few orders and then POOF!!!! We'll see

Time to hit the shower and get moving in that direction......

I'm still very upset over this. This will make your day Tom.

shoulder pad duo

Okay, it's closing time folks, well it is somewhere.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVt6vhRAu3k

I want to bite a 2x4 after watching that vid Tom.

I am busy baking pies today pumpkin, apple, and a chocolate hershey bar pie also Finnish coffee bread. Going to my brother's nearby tomorrow. I am waiting for my 2 yr old granddaughter to arrive this afternon with her parents. One bad note is my son's family will not be present tomorrow because 9 yr. old granddaughter had an operation yesterday on what thurned out to be a large abcess near stomach wall. Happy Turkey Day to all.

GOOD AFTERNOON everybody!!

O M Gawd.....Milli Vanilli
Ahhhh 1988.....I was married, a junior in college, broke and LOVING life! Actually the best times and memories during that era!
Thanks, Jerry! Made me smile

I am sorry so many folks are sick. It has hit our other shop (Rob's bro's business) but thankfully not hit here!

I am totally bummed!!! My sister, hubby and Rylan are not coming up for Thanksgiving BOO HOO!!!!
Rylan's not feeling 100% and my sister thinks they are also getting a bugaboo
Not sure what Rob and I will get into BUT we're taking the bikes up to the mountains tomorrow as it's going to be FIFTY degrees!!!

We'll probably go out to dinner and not cook. That, after all the stuff I bought at the store LOL! It will all keep and the turkey is still as hard as a wedding......well it's still frozen

PS, glad Rafe said he's sorry. I know he loves you and you love him and that is all that matters!

Healing hugs to everyone ailing.

BIG hugs to your granddaughter!! Bless her heart.
Hope that she has a speedy and full recovery, Ann!!!

for everyone who is sick. My neighbor and I were going to take her girls and my grandgirls to a light show and Christmas carol fest at the University tonight, but my DIL says the 3 year old is very congested, so I won't take her out in the damp night air. We'll snuggle in the warm house and find something else to do.

Since all I'm responsible for tomorrow is the turkey, stuffing, and gravy, I sure hope one of those younger gals is making a pumpkin pie! My son is making an apple pie, but Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie and whipped cream! I hope someone else pulls through!

Wow! Corney big hugs to your granddaughter and her mom & dad.
And Kobi That is a bummer. I know you and Rob will have a fine time anyway but after all your prep and anticipation. I'm sorry you won't be running after Rylan and Bubbles.

I'm being really really bad and haven't even left the house yet. I have to run down to the grocery. Eventually I'll have to go to the shop but first things first

Guy got held over till the threat of mudslides is over, so what the heck I've got Holiday Prep or something to do!!!

KIV - early HH?!

PS - I'm so glad that Rafe apologized. Good Boy!!

KIV..bummer!!! I am sorry your family won't make it.

Ann, hope your granddaughter gets better soon! An Abcess...how scary!!


KIV...hard as a wedding????

Courney, I also want to send hugs to your family. Hope your young lady is feeling well again soon.

Kobi, I hope Rylan is also feeling better - STAT!!!

Oh Jerry, I didn't know you liked Leonard Cohen so much, now I have lots and lots (did I say lots) of good stuff to share with you. Ya better run to the lumberyard first tho.

Debbie B., thanks for the call!!! I still don't believe you saw dolphins or a manta. Don't believe Susan did either thhhhhhhhhhhhhppppppfffffffttttttttttttt

(Message edited by vtscuba on November 26, 2008)

no baking for me today - I am at work :-(

I'm baking Uncle Jerry's Special Brownies.

haha, STAT

I wanna share my STAT experience, love that word

my MD put a patient on for MONDAY and is calling it a STAT order

apparently this person was supposed to have a stress test prior to having surgery on MONDAY and the primary care physician dropped the ball and now it is STAT.
gotta love it. Now it is my problem that they have poor planning. NOT


OK, rant off...



PUMPKIN PIE

MMMMM Jerry, and what does uncle put IN the brownies???

OK, I hope everyone is feeling better, hugs to those who need them.

Jerry - flashbacks to high school for me and Mr. Tom, flashbacks of college - but I'm not sayin' nothin' - oh nevermind, Joel is out of province for the evening, kids are napping, troublemaker in school (today would be a good day to have a meeting with Mr. VP...) - you know what, I'm still not sayin' nothin'...

Oh, and I found this great wine today because

^&$*^% - I have to pick troublemaker up in an hour LOL!

I wish we had Thanksgiving the same time as you all!! And you ours!

OK, I am soooo GONE!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Eileen, come on over!!

Jerry - ya just killed the mood for me, love the song, but there goes my daydreams...

I'm making pumpkin chiffon pie and an ammaretto-almond cake. The cake is baking now and it smells yummy!

I was out at 8 am hanging signs and handing out flyers for our school toy drive. We are collecting for 2 different places this year, one is called "Sunday Friends" and the other is "Sacred Heart Community Services". Both are in desperate need of food and toys and clothing. It's been a tough year for most everyone. If you are able to, please consider making a small donation to one of your local charities.

Eileen, you are getting ever so close.

I have about 200 comebacks for your statement and I can't post even one.

Jwerry, Milli Vanilli LMBBO!!! But I just couldn't resist singing along!

That's gotta suck Jerry. Know how that feels.....................................................................................................................

And don't say any comments to what I wrote just now - that could count for at least 500...

A cooking school for Tommy Boy.

Hey Afternoon all!

Tom, great talking to you, did I tell ya I saw a manta AND dolphins??? STILL smiling over here. hee hee.

Got two pumpkin pies in the oven, they smell so good.

Kobi, Sorry to hear Rylan and parents are not feeling up to par. I am sure you and Rob will enjoy the warm weather while it lasts and it is nice to go out for dinner too! Thank goodness for warmer temps.

Courney, sending healing vibes to your granddaughter, hope she is feeling better soon. Your choc. hershey bar pie sounds delish. Care to pm me the recipe? Thanks!

HA She's quite talkative isn't she - the lady in the video. Jerry could introduce her to the wino with the eggs and they could have pie and hard boiled eggs.

BrOnyes r readY. GoT aNy cHips?

Here's your cHips....

I'm back to being boring old mummy now before I get .

I have to pick up Quinn in T-10 min.

So !!

Eileen, I had a few flashbacks in coll...... oh, you meant the song gave you a flashback - nevermind. Did you ever have a Vueja-De? You know, one of those times where you say to yourself "Self, I'm almost positive I have never been here or done this before."? Fun, weren't they?

R.A., you are right, this year is really tough. I definitely don't need or want more "stuff". Saw a guy picking up bottles to redeem yesterday, my bride who was never "down and out" got this "ah, that's too sad" look on her face, until I told her I saw that very guy redeeming bottles at the corner store and buying...... MILK with the change. I have been asking my folks to make donations to - C.O.T.S.. http://www.cotsonline.org , to Toys for Tots or the food shelf.

However, if any of them wants to pay the difference between what I will get for a trade in and the price of a 2009 Road King Classic (Turqois/White), I'll believe in S.C. but, that is a different story.....

Cotton Mouth Jerry?

Jerry, thanks for the video - "THE VOICES PLEASE STOP THE VOICES!!! Pretty flowers, do you see them?"

For Jerry, no it's not Leonard Cohen, sorry can't imbed it, you can't embed most of the BEST songs. Ever notice that?

Come on ladies, how many of you really liked this song?

"So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.
ahhhhhh-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Definately have to leave now...

Both kids look like puffballs in their snowsuits...

One of my all time favorites!!

I can't see the videos till I get home, but I'm getting an idea. lol

My top lip is sticking out like Goldie Hawn in the 1st Wives Club right now. I guess all that lip stretching and stitches from the oral surgery yesterday took their toll! lol It's funny having to explain to people what happend, 'cause they think I've been crying or got some terrible lip plumping job. I've been getting, "What's the matter, Kathy???" all day long....but in 50 min I'm off for the long holiday weekend and can be duck faced in my own home.

And I've already cooked 2 pies!

Debbie B you have mail

Eileen, He's just having growing pains. Totally normal. all will settle down soon. Kids his age experimenting strutting their independence a bit much sometimes and getting into trouble. He will figure it out and fit right in with the rest of them soon. Then you can help the next mom whose child goes through it too.

I'll take another WOW DIDJYA SEE THAT BLUE WIND? brownie.

Chuck, I got some swedish fish, we can roll em up tah look like cherries.

Elaine, Ize a wuss, hate tha cold, not gonna lie bout it.

R.A., nice tune, wonderful voice.

Too many brownies


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUjIA3Rt7gk

Bummer man, someone killed the thread!

I was thinking about The 70's Show.

I want to wish you all a very nice day tomorrow and please be safe if traveling.

Thank you for allowing some of us to go nuts today, we needed it.

Good night my dear friends.

Recently I received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else I could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary. Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. So, in desperation, I threw up my hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto my out stretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As I was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Tara, rotflmao!!!

All, drive safe, eat too much, enjoy your time with family or friends.

awwww... I wish I knew how to capture the picture on the puppy cam.... They're HUGGING.
It's so fr.. emmm er Cute!!!!!

I'm back home, safe and snuggly. The fire place is roaring and Rasta is snoring in front of it.

Time to put on the snuggly slippers and start baking and puttering in the kitchen.

Is anyone else still around?

Hi Tom
Bye Tom you stay safe too!

LOL, Tara I haven't heard that one in a long time.

Dang, have a clean house (thanks to cleaning lay), turkey thawing, all the other fixings and nobody's coming!!!
I think we are going to invite our next door neighbors over for dinner with us. They are the ones that are adopting a foster child and he just lost his job It will be nice. I think they are going to his parents tomorrow but maybe we can get them over here on Saturday as that's when our bird will get cooked.

I feel better already

hi Boom, I am here.. yes Tom drive safe and be well..And everyone else for that matter,, I will be onand off tomorrow you know I am lurking all the time.. how are you Tara??

Tara, glad you're home safe and sound. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Tom, you too!!!

I have much to give thanks for this year!
Thank you for sharing last year's BT Thanksgiving link. I am thankful for all the same things again this year that I shared in that thread One addition for 2008 is Bubbles; this is her first Thanksgiving with us. I hope she's thankful
Blessings abound here despite what's going on in the world.

Good evening Y'all

Hi Tara, I'm just about to go to bed, work has been hectic the last two days and my body isn't quite recovered enough to give 110%! so have been very tired and no energy for much.

But I've just had a quick look at PuppyCam and I think this is what you were watching too.....

Hey Roy - pancakes at the bar?

I'm getting stuff ready to cram up the parrot's...I mean turkey's...um...cavity tomorrow. Kayla just called and isn't getting off til late tonite, so I have to make the pies now. My niece is here w/ me. My sister is at my mom's now. Rafe is here, I am not even going into HOW HE GOT HERE!! I'm gonna stick HIM in the freezer!!!

Kobi, that's a good thing, to have your neighbors over.

Roy

Eileen, I PROMISE he won't be like Rafe!! It just can't happen. Plus Rafe was good when he was little (he was only little for a month...), so that means that Quinn's getting it out of his system NOW. When he's older he'll be just wonderful!!! See, IT'S ALL GOOD!
I'll pray to Tom's pygmies that he doesn't act like Rafe!!

ahhhhh I love it when BTrs crowd around
Thanks Roy -- that's what I was seeing!
HI FREDDIE!!!!! I'm doing very well thank you!

Did anyone else see this story about this family who posted invites for Thanksgiving Dinner to strangers on Craigs List. It was on GMA this morning go to the postcards from america story if it doesn't come up directly. What an amazing thing to do.

Timmy glad to hear your foot is better.
Roy get to bed... we need you feeling 100% in 160 +/- days.
Kobi that's a very nice thing to do for your neighbor
PS make Rafe make the pies

I saw the Craig's List family this morning on GMA. That is a very wonderful thing they did; caring folks indeed.

PS, hope you guys have a wonderful meal together. Enjoy "stuffing" the stuffing LOL!

I'm not sure what we're going to get into tomorrow. A little dirt in the mountains and then somebody else's food LOL! We'll find somewhere in town to eat and it will be ALL GOOD

I am happy to report that the Christmas tree has been up for a week now and all is well with the lights. I even have 6 packages under it and it's still going strong! WOO HOO....the tree monsters are NOT gonna ruin my experience this year

get up here gal.. book a flight to ISp and we will pick you up we have room at our table and at our house

Dinner out on holidays can be fun... Thanksgiving used to be one of my favorite nights to work when I waitressed. Not to mention the tips were always so generous!!!

Oh how fun would that be to all descend on Freddie and George and Judy and Les!!!!! A progressive dinner party.

Puppies are awake

Awwwww, Freddie!!! Thanks for the invite! If we didn't have work to tend to on Friday with a big customer I'd take you up on the offer.

I hope you, George and family have a wonderful day. We will meet sometime soon.

Puppies!!!! Did the pee pad get replaced!??! Looks like it got made into some snow LOL!

Um is the crate door open? Maybe it's facing the other way? OMG I have so many questions!!! LOL
They need a safe pee spot and me not seeing it!

Hey our table is open and we have the room !! bring on the BTers!!! for Thanksgiving... I give thanks every day for all of you!!!

Looks to be facing other way because there were two in side and now there is only one? I am addicted to the site. They are just toooooo cute. They look like they are having so much fun when they play.

I see they had a way to escape the crate Panic over!!!

Denise, aren't they though?!?!

Freddie, you and me both!!!! Daily!!!

I hear you Freddie --- this group leaves me thankful every day
Especially Beau!

Can you believe how big those babies are getting? I bet their forever parents are getting so anxious to bring them home! I'd be going nuts.

they seem to be winding down

HA! then again maybe not

You can download free Christmas music at Oprah.com Free!!!
quite nice and....

Guy just called - he's coming home!! At least for tonight. Back to work tomorrow but we were worried he might be held over all night. Time to put some cinnamon water on the fire so the house will smell so goooooood!!

I'm back!! Pies are in the oven and they smell MARVELOUS!! It smells like Thanksgiving here

Rafe is NOT going in MY kitchen!! I want edible food!!

Can we ALL go to Freddie's???

I just baked my pies, too!! I bought a carmel apple one and Andrea DROPPED IT!! It was in the box and isn't dirty, but fell apart....good thing we aren't having any fancy company!!

Cinnamon water on the fire...hmmm...sounds nice!!

Goodnight all...Happy Thanksgiving...I'm thankful for ALL of YOU!!

Has anyone seen my monkey?

I just finished toasting the almonds for my cake, it doesn't look as pretty as I thought it would so I sure hope it tastes good!
Donna, I'll take that pie off your hands if you are not going to eat it , a little smushyness makes the pie taste better!

I had a wonderful chat this afternoon with one of our BT family members and he made me laugh till my sides hurt, thanks, it was just what I needed!

Just in case I don't get a chance tomorrow to say it...Happy Thanksgiving and thanks to all of you my world is brighter and happier than ever!

I just sold all our pies on ebay, now I can bake more brownies.

RA, was he from the NE?

A monkey missing on Thanksgiving Eve? This cannot be good!!!

Donna, upside down pie is good LOL!

PS, I love the smell of pies baking and the anticipation of a family gathering.

I just hung up with my sister. She has the sniffles so it's best we NOT get together this turkey day! As we chatted Miss Rylan was pulling all the tissues out of the box and putting them up to her nose LOL! She sees my sister doing that so it must be OK!!! LMAO
What a pill!! Recycled tissues in that house for sure!

We're planning for them to come up here in the next few weeks before really bad weather sets in.

Boring night at our house; we're watching Rocky XXXVVVIII Actually I it's IV with
Dolf Lundgren. My GOSH watching this and seeing the year it was made makes me realize I am an ANTIQUE!!!

If so, don't trust him, he's a male slut!

Pumpkin pies are done...now time for the Dutch Apple...Oh, and while I'm at it, maybe I'll sew the end of G's thumb back on that he cut off while at his mom's helping her cut up a rhudabega(sp?)...I told him he was gonna cut his fingers off, so now he says it's my fault, I jinxed him!! NO, I just know how he does things and that he would do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RA, I bet your cake will taste FABULOUS!!!
Glad you got some giggle time in; that's the best feeling ever

OUCH, PS!!!! Sounds like a serious BOO BOO your man has
I don't sew so he'd be scr***d at this house!!!

Jerry, He prefers the term "manho" LOL! I just pretend I trust him

I'm making my yam dish now....I'm not very hungry and all this food is bugging me.

RA, here is a trick a very good chef in paris passed on to me. When cooking for others, pretend you are painting, it must look good, make you feel good, smell good, the rest will fall into place.















He was on crack at the time.

Jerry, we talked about butt crack! Not the same thing though huh? LMAO

Want to know a trick with yams?
Sure you do. Try this next time. Bake in a 450 oven for 30 mins. Cut in half, dust the open halfs with brown sugar and butter spray, get out your plumbers torch, flame it till it starts to turn brown. Spray again with the butter spray.

Your guest will think you are a kitchen God.

RA, was he playing plumber guy again?

He loves his tools.

of course you can come have dinner with us Cuddles...get on the plane and again I will pick you up .. {she went to the nemm on shorter notice!!}

Yup - she sure can cook
So while Freddie's slaving over the stove & opening the boxed wine, I'll come pick ya'll up
We have extra rooms too for the overflow!

Love you all

Late peek in here. I'm in for going to Freddie's too! Happy Turkey Day, Everyone, tired tonight, going to bed early, got work in the am, but seeing my granddaughter and son/wife later in the afternoon! I bet Lydia has grown a lot, haven't seen her since Halloween! Need to take some pics and get hubby to post of her for me this week-end.

You all are too much. Grandgirls in bed and asleep. The onions and celery chopped for the stuffing. "Tomasina" is sitting in the sink doing the final defrost - 5 days later! (Something wrong with my fridge?)

Must have Tomasina stuffed and in the oven by nine, nine thirty...... Should not be a problem with a 3 yr old in resident to remind Grandma to "Wake up! The sun is up!"

We did our Hallmark shopping today. Being a Hallmark Gold Crown member I think I saved as much as I spent! I got free a $20 treat jar, free a $15 sent of gingerbread ornaments, and used a $8, $5, and $2 off coupon. Oh and a free ornament for purchasing 2. (I bought 5). It almost cost me like $2...... I save my coupons all fall that they send me, and use them all with my major purchase. I have all of my Hallmark ornament from 25+ years ago - all in their original packaging. (When I'm dead and gone my kids will say - WTF - and toss all the boxes!) But that's my quirk for now!

Tomorrow will be a blast!

The cinnamon water worked.... the first thing Guy said when he came in was how nice the house smelled. It's actually cinnamon and clove
The Buffalo Dip is made and ready for tomorrow.
That's all I have to do.
I think I might make a pie just because.

I've got a nice bottle of wine to take to the after-dinner stop at friends.

I hope to see some of ya' tomorrow I'll be at the gym in the morning and here for just an hour or so before heading out.
Till then....

Sleep well my BT friends,
xo

I'm sorry I didn't get back on here last nite, I lost the computer to 4 teenagers...I don't know what they were doing, but it was loud and involved a lot of laughter. So, I let them live

R.A., I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for e-mailing me that wonderful photo of your b***ocks. After a little editing I made an iron on and put it on a pillow case. OMG did I sleep well last night.

Okay, so far I have Tink and her wonderful B.C.D. on a catamaran, Kelly in a l-l-l-low cut top, well at least Mare said it was Kelly, ya cant see above the neck and now R.A.'s buuuuuutay!!! Going to the printers next week with "The Girls of BT" pillowcase line, any of the rest of you want to be famous? NO NOT YOU JERRY, OR PATRICK - no no no!!! W.H.N. said last night the bed was getting too crowded with all the pillows I now sleep with. Being a sensitive guy, I agreed with her and suggested that she move to the couch. She still isn't talking to me. HA - I WON!!!!

AHHH, it was nothing Tom, I am thankful for what I have been blessed with!! LMBBO!!!
Maybe W.H.N. can start a line of pillow cases for the ladies, how about that pose you told me about on the ladder?
