Morning Smack Tommy Donna Eileen Freddie

Off to the salt mines
POOF

Hi all

A day in London for me, I just voted for PS.

Some interesting Naval terms

As the crow flies:
Shortest travelling distance between two points
It was a custom to carry crows on board ships. Vessels out of sight of land would release a crow, which would naturally fly towards land, taking the most direct route. Ships would follow the path of the crow, and the lookout platform at the top of the tallest mast became known as the crow’s nest.

Eat my hat:
What will be done if something thought sure to happen, doesn’t happen
Sailors kept their chewing tobacco in their hats, the linings of which became soaked in sweat and tobacco juice. If they ran out of tobacco they would take out the linings of their hats and chew them.

Tom, that's too funny!

Good Morning to all those who arrived!

Timmmy, don't you just love all the 'mportant and much needed "stuff" that is out there? A few years ago I received a plastic cow that when you lifted it's tail would dispense a chocolate covered raisin. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-I wonder if those raisinettes are still good?

Heading out to the salt mine myself. CYA'll

John, again I thank you for the reminder of what is important. I hate the two big "C's" and their treatments - if they fail!!! Yep, whining again. Guess I need to watch Jimmy's video again.

Good Morning Everyone!!

Well, it's gonna be a busy day for me! Rafe is now here...so I have Rafe & Brody (his dog)!!! Calypso has become the Alpha dog in our house, I've never seen him act so proud and tough!! Brody hasn't tried to go after the cats at all. Spice keeps egging him on, but no luck so far. Bas doesn't know what to think, but whatever Brody is, he has a tail and it looks like fun to Bas!!

Rafe is doing good. He's happy to be here. But I bet I'm happier! He called yesterday to tell me he wanted to come here and that he was so proud of himself. He's been doing all of his work at school, not skipping, and walked away from a fight yesterday!! There is hope. But now I have to go to the grocery store and buy BOY food (ie. junk)!

AND we just found a BIG sore spot on Calypso. I don't know how I didn't notice this earlier. But it looks like a tick has gotten embedded under his skin. It's gross. So, I'm taking him to the vet VERY SOON this morning!!!

Donna, thanks for linkin' me up!!

I hope yall have a good day!! I'll be checking in when I can. I'm not used to this much dog in my house!!! Or this much teenage boy!!!!!

Morning all!!

WOW, PS. so cool about Rafe. glad he is with you!

poor Calypso..

Timmmygood to see you. When is the B-day party again? I will make a memo so I don't forget again, hehe

Everyone, have a great day!!

Timmy always gets the good stuff.


Tommy Boy, you at the shop today?

Morning Everyone! Off to get results of blood work that the doc wouldn't tell me on the phone, have to go pay for a visit to find out. Wants to discuss he says, well, phone works for me. Hate it when they do that.

PS, I am so glad Rafe is with you! Good luck on Calypso's sore spot, I know the vet will fix it right up.

After all the baking, I got tons of housework waiting for me when I get back. Off for a while, be good everyone!

Morning everyone!
Good to see Smack on board so early. Thanks for the video.
Timmy, love your gift. I'll have to get one of those for someone I know.
Tom, I had one of those little cows. It "dropped" sugar babies.
Freddie, Eileen, Donna, Krispi - have a great day.
Brian, Yuck on the eat my hat.
PS, So it's one BIG happy family. I'm happy for you.
Debbie, good luck with the visit to your doctor.

11 more days till the boss is gone for 18 days.

Debbie, good luck at the docs. I hope it's nothing, he just needs that co-pay for Christmas money. Good (((vibes))) comin' at'cha!!

Calypso has an appointment at 10:45. Til then I'll just have to look at the ugly, swollen, red spot. HOW DID I MISS IT???? All last nite and this morning I've done nothing but watch these two dogs and play w/ them!! G found it and told C that I don't take care of him!! That wasn't nice! Big meanie!!
Calypso has been protecting me and Bas from Brody!! Bas has 23 nails, he's protected!! And Brody just loves me, so I don't need protecting, but it's good to see that Calypso has this in him. I'm so proud of him this morning. He's not at all that nervous, timid pup that he used to be. He's a TOUGH dog and he's in charge!! I love it!!

PS. How is Bas doing? Is he still limping with all those claws and toes?

He's doing great!! Not limping at all. I think he hurt his foot/feet jumping off of the counter that I feed him and Spice on in the morning. He won't even attempt jumping from there anymore. That's my sign. But, he is fine. Running around, playing, just my happy little boy!!

I am going to ask this vet today what they would charge to remove just the thumb nails, just in case he has any more problems. Oh, and about (text edited)!! I am picturing all the guys cringing and grabbing themselves right now!!! (Shame on you for thinking of such things! "GEORGE!!!!)LOL

There will be no talk of de-glittering, GOT IT!

Oh, the joy of having my magic wand back Think I am going to wave it a lot

DON'T EVEN GO THERE P.S.!!!

Oh no, did I kill this thread? My bad. Guess I'll take my wand and go back under my desk while I still have it to go under.

WHOA, OUT OF HERE FOR TWO DAYS, LOOK AT ALL THE FRESH SUGA.......!!!

A absolutely great day to you all.

Bonaire's weather is finally back to normal again.
Resume: The wind stopped in June until Omar arrived in October and after that it didn't stop raining until about a week ago. Yes we do have the occasional shower but we also see blue skies again. Also the wind has picked up again.
So, like I said; Bonaire is back to it's same old blue skies, sunny days and comfortable breezes self again.

What am I up to today? Well, it looks like it's gonna be the first relatively quite day in weeks! So I'm going to play "catch up" with stuff that is less important but need to be done eventually.

Jos found himself wrapped around the toilet this morning. Don't know exactly what went wrong but when thing settled down a bit I gave him med to calm his stomach and put him to bed. Then I could get Marein to school and myself to work.
Just checked up on Jos and he's better now. Still a bit wobbly but definitely better. PFEUW!!!!!!

Good morning all. PS great news about Rafe, I hope it continues, I so hate to see a young person making bad decisions. I also hope Calypso is OK, my bet it's an abscess from a critter bite. Our old cat would get them occasionally, pretty nasty but they will heal after a good cleaning.

Back from docs, don't wanna talk about. Not a good day.

Oh no Debbie. Very sorry to hear that, we are here whenever you are ready to talk about it.

The Other Side of the World.

Debbie.....roomie.....whatever it is....we are here for you. Big Maine Moose hugs (((((we luv you)))))

LaDonna

Morning all, PS good news about Rafe...hugs to calypso.

Debbie, hugs coming your way gal

time to make the donuts.

oh, we saw Four Christmases last night...hilarious! omg, laugh out loud movie. I highly recommend it if you are in need of some Christmas "Cheer."

Debbie, ditto to what LaDonna said, we are here for you lady. My phone is under the desk with me if you want to talk. I'll even share the Sugar Babies. Big hugs coming at you!!!

Debbie, YGM.

Debbie B......thoughts your way.

If you need we are here!!!!!

Oh Debbie, Hugs going your way. Talk when & if you want.

Back to work. I sure wished I had about a weeks training for pulling exports/reports. This learning (or not learning in my case) by the seat of your pants sucks like big time.

(Message edited by tlraz on December 9, 2008)

Debbie, whatever it is, we can all send you good thoughts!

Bette...sorry to hear that Jos was praying to the porcelain god. That is never fun.

I'm still on dial-up (2 more days) so will have to wait to watch the videos until tomorrow.

Ladies...I'm super stressed about Thursday. I absolutely HATE working with "installers" and "repairmen." I have a plumber and the Uverse installer both coming on Thursday and Wes will be at work. I think my bloodpressure is going to go through the roof. I instinctively do not trust these people - even if that is irrational and I know it is. This is probably Wes' fault...he told me one too many stories about guys he works with. Sorry to whine, but this is really starting to get to me.

Jahneeeeeen, repeat after me

I'm thinking: Baileys = breakfast, Rum/Coke = lunch, Chianti = dinner.

If any of you BT'ers are Uverse or plumber experts or close to being experts, shoot Tribs your phone number so she can call you with questions while the installations are being done.

Good luck with that. I hate changing computer/tv stuff, too. I get so corn-fused.

CHIANTI....SHANTI....close enough!! HEHE

Debbie, sister...love you. We are here for you when and/or if you need to chat



(Message edited by kristi_tn on December 9, 2008)

Linda, I used to think I was a plumber, then I started wearing a belt.

Janeeeeen, if you cough, just a little, a brandy would be in order

Linda you are too funny! My computer guru friend just converted to Uverse and I know he fears me calling him every 5 minutes while the installer is here. But it is his own fault! He said to me "our installation only took 4 hours because I already had the house wired. Your installation probably won't go as smoothly." Nice....very nice..... cough, cough, cough.

Here, this will help.

I can't watch it - waaaaaa!

Oh well...I have plenty to watch right now with the Blagojevich scandal breaking. It is a good time to be teaching US Government.

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone! Just found out that what I was told was a mis-diagnosis and all is good. Phew! That was the worst three hours of my life, one thing I know, it is time for a new doctor. One should not be allowed to tell ya really bad news and then take it back after I talked to another doctor who had the results faxed to them. Ha! So, all is good, sorry about that, but glad that it was not true. Just to be on the safe side, seeing another doc. to confirm all is good on Friday. Had results faxed to him too. Better to be 100% sure after all that.

Debbie

Debbie....holy smokes.....I would want a new doctor FOR SURE!!!!! I am so glad to hear the outcome....but I am sad you had to live those bad 3 hours!

Thanks for the update!!!!!!!

LaDonna

Debbie, from what Calypso's vet said, you just need to stop licking yourself. It causes hot spots!!!!!LMAO

I'm so glad it was a mis-diagnosis, but THAT AINT RIGHT!!! A new doctor is a VERY good idea. That's what I've done and saw her yesterday. I really like her. I'm HAPPY that you are ok!!!

Calypso had a tick embedded and they dug it out, he's been licking the area and that caused a hot spot, like Debbie gets!!!
He also got all of his shots and doesn't have heartworms!! He was so good. He just sat there and let the vet dig in that sore!!! I wanted to bite the vet! But, I didn't have my rabies tag w/ me, so I didn't!!

I took the information, on Bas's thumbs, from the other vet w/ me and showed it to this vet. The price he gave me to declaw and de-gli##er was less than half!! So, next month my little man will have a higher meow!!
And he wont be able to get his thumbs stuck in mine and G's necks anymore!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Jerry!!!!!!!! That was Laughing my socks off rolling on the ground hilariously funny.
My god, I need tissues again.
Thanks for that Jerry.

Debbie, you're getting these good vibes anyway
Ha ha, they worked!!! Instantaneously!!!!!

Yea!!! Good news all around: Debbie, Calypso and Bas.

Debbie - just remember that medicine is not an exact science. Find a doc you are comfortable with and go from there.

Tribs, there could be another reason Wes told you all these stories.............

(Message edited by Bette on December 9, 2008)

OMG Rereading my last post
Not "good" but "could"
Nah, Dunglish

Debbie, sorry you had to go through those hours, I know where your mind was. Glad to read the good news. Hugs went out and still go out to you.

P.S., my doctor has an office in Florida?

Bette said Dunglish - ha! Tom????

Hot da*n, good news all around. Debbie I can only respond as we would in the Navy.

CYCLE!!!

Modern translation, psych!!!. I just hope you did not do anything rash in those three hours, if it was me, that down payment on a South Pacific trip could be a killer getting back.

Great news about Calypso, it may be time for the horn of silence.

NO, NOT THE HORN!!! THAT IS WHAT MY DOC PUT ON ME!!! I have to admit, it did help my hearing a little bit.

What a rollercoaster!!
BT vibes are miracle workers
and I'm with Bette, I'm sending the good vibes anyway... after what you just went through I'm sure you can still put them to good use.

PS, I swear girl you just make me laugh! I'm glad that Rafe is there with you and all of the furkids too Your house will be doubly blessed.

Everyone take care today --- busy day here at the shop after my lazy day yesterday. There is H*$$ to pay.

Love ya'll

He's sleeping now, so no horn needed. I need some nasty tasting Neosporin. Or is it nasty tasting already??? I'm not gonna taste it...Let's get Tom, he'll taste it!!! TOM??? Here, lick my finger

Hi Tara, bout time you got up.

P.S., LOL!!!

Just ordered lunch, vegetarian pizza with extra meat, will let you know how it is.

Hey Hey Hey, if if if you you you talk talk talk with with with one one one of of of these these these cones cones cones on on on, it it it echos echos echos. KEWL!!! KEWL!!! KEWL!!!

25 more valve caps and I can close up for the winter. Odds 1000 to 1.

Tom, any room under your desk for me and my coffee can?

Tom

Guess what? A box of wine just showed up at my front door. That will definitely help with Thursday! LOL!!!

hi gang
debbie supper glad the news is good. big hugs anyway from a jersey girl. sorry u had to endure 3 hrs of agony.

ps glad calypso is fine-sorry he had to endure any pain. hope bas feels fine soon

good day for all that follow and for those who have been.
will probably peek in after work. was able to vote at least 6 times today for pegi sue
es

Debbie so glad things turned out okay.Geez, I tell you, incompetence runs rampant these days. I was waiting so long for my MRI results because the transcriber couldn't tell if one of the words the radiologist wrote was "catastrophic" or "concurrent", so needless to say it caused a bit of stress and confusion. The doctor called yesterday to clear things up and say the results were "concurrent" to what he found last time..NOTHING!

Tom, you are CWAZY!

On a sad note, a little girl from Rajan's school passed away last night from meningitis. I am so sorry for the family. They thought she had the flu and never took her to the doctor until it was too late. The thing that really PI$$ES me off was the local media turned the school into a circus this morning.

Oh no...that is so sad RA. How is Rajan handling this? I'm with you on the media...leave the kids alone!

RA, that is sad.

on the test.

Rajan did not know the little girl, she was in a different class but he was sad and asked a lot of questions. He seemed worried that you could not seem so sick and then pass away. I tried to reassure him and the teachers will discuss it with the kids today. So sad...

Good Grief Charlie Brown!!!

Debbie....THANK GOODNESS!!!

PS...you'd really let the Major lick your finger?
you are a TRIP sista! good news about the de-gli**er bill!!(can I say de-gli**er??)

speaking of ..what happened to Wanker? can I say wanker?
haha


and...RA...your're the faceless disco queen, hehe


Kendron can BOOGIE!!

I love that website Tink!!...I have made many videos, my coworkers are a little disgusted, haha


(Message edited by kristi_tn on December 9, 2008)

ooohhh, RA, scary. The class getting tested?

WOW - crazy day here!

Debbie - so glad to hear all is well but entirely sorry you had to go through a #$%^ed up diagnosis first. That's not right! Hugs coming at you just for dealing with that.

PS - glad to hear Calypso is okie dokie, and that Bas will be thumbnail-less and... well... the other thing will be taken care of too Glad you didn't bite the vet, then you'd have been on a 10 day quarrantine. Those are never fun!

Bette - glad to see you back again!

Tribs - I say start the day with some port, and have a small glass every time you think your blood pressure will rise as a preventive treatment. By the time Wes gets home, you'll be happy as a clam.

R.A. - how sad about the girl from Rajan's school. Sorry to hear the media turned it into something so disrespectful.

Everyone else - have a great day! We are in the middle of a blizzard - about 8-10 inches of snow already on the ground, with 1-3 more due by tonight. But the kicker is this line: "locally more snow to fall in Manitowoc county". Great - guess which county I live/work in??? Ah yes, another day in paradise.

Krispi, the health department is saying only the kids in her class and those who played with her on the playground have any exposure risk. I am keeping a close eye on my two (Rianna does not attend the same campus, she's at the middle school campus and Rajan plays on a different playground for bigger kids) and at the first sign of anything they will be on the Dr.'s office!

Krispi, that video cracked me up, man I got the moves, did you see my split??

http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/memba_them__3#31174

Wana feel old?

RA, eek. I remember when Sarah was about ten, they had a meningitis outbreak in our area. She got sick with the flu and I took her to the doc immediately. All was OK, but it's scary for sure.

LOL...I put some coworkers in and Rhonda is VERY reserved...she ended up being the one who shakes her shoulders...sooo funny!! it made her blush!! haha.
I made one of us break dancing, Annemarie, me and Kenny. Hilarious! I put it on my FB...hehe

R.A., sad for that young girl and her family understand your being upset at the media. So happy that you posted your good news. Big happy hugs for that. Watching your split had me going "OW" for the second time today.

Krisp, P.S. and I have a special thing - I guess.

Jerry, come on over buddy but, be forewarned my lease on that space runs out December 26th. Don't be sad, I am taking the Sugar Baby makers with me

Beck-ee, ooo-ooo-ooo, ask me-ask me, I think I know the answer!!! Stay safe and warm - PLEASE!!!

W.H.N., stopped by to pick out a tree. I love buying trees with her, she had to look at and have me spin around about 20 trees, then she ........ picks the first or second one she looked at anyway. Of course being the sensitive and caring sum***** I am, I said "I like it alot." each of the 20 or so times I was asked. Decorate the recliner for all I care, Boris (The Wonderdog) won't mind wearing lights for a few weeks.

Been practicing:

"Would you like that supersized?" in case Wally World isn't hiring.

Not me with the supersize thing, it's "paper or plastic?" for this boy, I'm counting on tips here!

Afternoon All
RA, so sad --- give Rajan an extra hug from me - Rianna too.

Boy, you kids have been playing so good the last few days Tom and I are going to send you all some candy from under our desks, as soon as we can catch it, fast little stinkers.

Hi Freddie, sorry but I was in and out the office today.
Now I know how a tea-bag must feel :/

Selling Tires at Sears.............

Tomorrow I will be out all day (mostly) but Thursday I will be in the office again. I will let you know the whats and the whens

jos is homesick?

Someone, anyone?

How sweet Tom & Jerry.
Dunno exactly if I really would like that "candy" but hey, it's th thought that counts, right?!

Freddie and George are dancing.

Hey Cynde or whoeverelse of you puppy-cam lovers, can somebody please explain who is who?!

As for as I can see there is 1 female and that would then be Little miss Thang but who are the boys?

LOL I think Freddie referred to Jos being wrapped around the toilet this morning but feeling all better now

Well kids, it's been a blast so far.

Tonight is CHICKEN night, Louise is doing something special with it. How Nice? Sorry Ruth, I just don't like little turkeys. Grill, fry, bake, boil, it still tastes like snake to me.

Say good night Dick!

Bette, yes, little Miss THANG is the one without the collar. That is Ayumi. She lost her collar a couple weeks ago when she accidentally got it stuck in her mouth, she screamed so loud you woulda thunk she was being murdered.

The green collar is Aki (male), and the red collar is Amaya (female).

Glad that Jos is not home sick anymore...lol...one little space...

George, dip Freddie!

How do you know Jerry? Or is this just your imagination at work?

Debbie - A nurse friend of mine said to keep in mind that 50% of the doctors out there graduated in the bottom half of their class!

RA - that's so very sad, but that's the way it can be with meningitis. We had a 14 yr old neighbor complain to her mom that her head hurt and she didn't feel good, so her mom let her stay home from school. When her brother got home, he called their mom and said to come quick, that Laura couldn't see. She was brain dead by the time they got to the hospital. It can be very sudden, but this single mom did the best she knew how. Everyone in the middle school was tested, and they never found out where she contracted it. My kids were little then, so they had no contact with her.

Good news on Calypso, and the future denailing of Bas! We need a pic of Brody, now!

Same ole, same ole here. Alex spent 2 hours with me here, while mommy took the car in, and we picked up Kira from school. Then met back up with mommy at their house. So I got my big girls fix for the day, and some snuggling with a 3 yr old!.

George and Freddie dance every night at 5:00.

Gail has (**), how can that be I ask you?

PS. Call it, it's time...........




Have a nice night kids

Click!

IT'S TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick, PS, pour me one! My skin hurts. I walked down to KARE because the roads are too bad to drive and YIKES!!!! Boy did I get cold, wet, and snowy. What did you do Becky, send your snow my way?

Jerry left, so now we can act up, right?

NOT!!! hi everyone hope everyone stays warm and safe this evening.. we are suppose to have rain tomorrow and a balmy 61 degrees with winds 30-40 knots whatz up with that?? I hate cold weather and damp and windy and did I mention cold weather??
yes it is TIME PS way past TIME!!! go for it!!!!
we are on this earth for a such a short time that we have to make the most of everything!!

I'm here watching too

Sorry you all are having crummy weather...it's nice on the coast tee hee...

Wow....we just got some really bad news. One of the volunteers for our sister rescue center died of an anurism on Friday. We have a massive rescue going on right now. Dogs, cats, horses, birds, and rabbits. Looks like we are getting two horses. We are trying to place rabbits. Seriously, if you know anyone in the Illinois region who wants rabbits, we need homes. This is just so horrible.

Tribs, that is so sad. There is not much you can do with an aneurism, it's a catastrophic event. Michael had a coworker a few years ago, went home because he wasn't feeling well and had one in his sleep. Never woke up....

Thanks for the spelling correction. My brain was focused on the animals. This is just horrible! She was the kind, generous woman, who only gave and gave of herself. She was actually at a grocery store doing a donation pick up and fell dead right in the store. She was only 51. She has an elderly mother, whom she was the only caregiver for. Plus, she had several critters in her personal care.

It wasn't too long ago that we did a similar rescue for Abu. His owner had died and no one would take the animals.

Please, if you have pets, think to make arrangements for them. No matter how young you are!!! Sorry, I don't mean to pontificate but I'm having a really hard time with this as she was a really great lady.

terrible for sure tribs,, I had a friend that I was helping AFTER she had a car accident,she hit her head on the side panel during the accident, about 5 months after she had the accident i found her on the floor {i had to crawl through a window to get to her} she had had an aneurism , a large bleeder into the brain.. they operated to relieve the pressure and she was in rehab for 3 months.. when she came out she couldn't see to the left, she couldn't talk well and she couldn't read or do math {money] we worked for 9 months to get her to read again I would go to the library and get easy readers for her.. pre school and kindergarten books.and we would do jig saw puzzles easy at first then more difficult like the USA map... I taught her to read and write and to handle money during those 9 months.. it wasn't easy but had to be done.. I think I was doing more than her ot and pt techs were.. she still can't drive but she can shop for herself and read a book now.. her speech is still impaired slightly..i am sorry that your friend didn't make it..sometimes they do...

Wow Freddie, that is amazing. What hard work for everyone involved with her recovery, especially for her. Pretty wonderful of you to help out like that.

I think I am going to step away from the computer as I am seriously bringing down this thread. Have a great evening everyone!

Not to change the subject BUT>>>>OK I have a tech issue here.. My enter key just popped off on my dell insprion E1505 can anyone out there help?? a few weeks ago I had a letter key jump off I think it was the "n " key and my son put it back on for me.. he is away for the week so I have no tech support anyone out there ever deal with this??

The easy answer Freddie is pop it back on. The other easy answer is find another keyboard.

its a laptop Cecil not to easy to find another keyboard without a lot of expense.. I think I have all the pieces.. at least this time the little nipple didn't come off..{can I say nipple>??}

Supper Glue.
Or Contact Reboot Joseph.

Perhaps I dont want to ask.... just what that is Jerry..Contact Reboot Joseph????? can you give me a hint?? Please

You can not say nipple.

I can say nipple, but not you.
You can say nipple on Mondays, and Fridays from 8:00 AM till noon. After that you will get a (*).
