HI PATRICK!!!

Hi all others.

Pat, keep some warm for me please?!?! Heading out to bnowslow soon. I hate bnowslowing, hate it a lot. Worse this morning because it is only 6 (f) thankfully the winds are only 10 mph.

Good Morning PATRICK and Tom!!

Patrick, I'll take his breakfast, he's gone bnowslowing and won't even notice!!

P.S., YOU COULD WAIT UNTIL I WAS OUTSIDE BEFORE EATING MY BREAKFAST It's okay, go ahead and enjoy, I just tried putting on some insulated coveralls that I wore 20 years ago when working construction. HA, who was I kidding.

Um, P.S., before you eat that breakfast, would you be a sweetie and.....PLEASE CUT THESE (shrunken) COVERALLS OFF OF ME?!?! HALP!!! HALP!!! I AM STUCK AND CAN'T BREATHE - HALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!! ROTFLMAO

Good Morning everyone!!

This is what I did this morning...notice the time. It was peaceful. One has got to love the drifts plows leave behind!


Now for something warm...

Now I am going to vote and then have some of PATRICK'S breakie!

Hope everyone is OK!

GOOD MORNING EILEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE THE KIDLET'S THIS FINE BEAUTIFUL MORNING.............

Morning PS and all,
I'm one of the luck few in my area with power. So, I'm way better off than most. For me it's clean up of the two trees that disintegrated under the weight of the ice. See FB. The weather is not cooperating. It's getting colder and colder. By Monday, wind chills of 17 -20 below zero.

Here Patrick, have another swig

I can't even imagine all of that!! Maybe I'm getting it as to why Jerry said I wouldn't like being there in WINTER!! I have the windows opened...I wish yall could just come here and hang out with me. We could put the tree up together and have some eggnog and sweat! I'm just glad that you all are safe. Happy that you have power and HEAT!!!

PEGIPIE, YOU FORGOT THE WINE, BEER, AND ALL THE OTHER SET UP'S THAT GO WITH IT!!!!!!!!

Morning all! We were hit by that mess yesterday but we were in the "mix" zone. We got snow, then sleet, then thunder, then more snow. Yuck! We are supposed to get hit with an arctic blast tonight. Oh fun! Wes and I are headed to Indiana today to see his family for Christmas. We'll waive as we drive by Steve.

I'm supposed to be grading finals instead of celebrating the holidays, so I am going to take a couple of TripTone (thanks Patrick) and hopefully I will be able to grade in the car. It should be a fun ride!!!

Happy shoveling BTers!!!

Good Morning everyone...hubby home from night work and now waiting to go buy snow blower parts...it broke!! and I'm awaiting Amanda's phone call saying she's on the way home.....foot tapping, foot tapping....

not sure exactly how much snow we got...more expected tomorrow...too much to do!!!!

I voted!!

Like Jeanine says....Happy Shoveling!!

Mornin' Tribs and Donna

Patrick, I didn't forget, I drank it all, had to have something to wash down Tom's breakfast

Bummer Donna! Wrong season for that to break. Wes broke our shovel last year so this year instead of buying a snow blower, he bought a steel shovel. I can barely lift the darn thing.

Hi Pegi Sue! I voted. Patrick, I'm hungry.

Tribs, you missed a big ole country breakfast this morning. Ask Pegisue, she stole Tom's. You and Wes be careful driving that way.

I most definitely could have eaten a big ole country breakfast this morning. Instead I had coffee and trip tone. LOL! Driving there will be interesting. Wes' sister refuses to take the toll ways, so we are leaving at the same exact time to see which route is faster. WE of course know the answer, but she insists that back roads are quicker (even though it takes her 4 hours to get there and takes us about 2 1/2 hours).

Good morning kids. It's still snowing. 10" so far. Another storm will move in tonight into tomorrow, and it's cold.

Off to the valve caps.

Bummer Jerry! Hang in there buddy!

I've got to leave and get ready for the great race to Indiana. LOL! Be safe and warm everyone.

Morning Everyone! I will be AWOL for a while, going to see Tiffany today! WooHoo! Got to get packing.

Donna, hope Amanada gets home soon.

Hope all the s@@w is done for everyone, more than enough for some of you all. We just ended up with lots of rain and then more rain, finally stopped, so I "should" be able to take off this afternoon.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas if I don't get back on here before.

Thanks Patrick. Breakfast was excellent. Thanks for getting up and doing that. It was very thoughtful.

Good Morning everyone...
Debbie, safe journey give Tiff a hug from us all..

Tribs and Wes please be careful on the roads today.. if you can check back in when you get to your destination..

Roy, have fun at your party today. don't drink to many Fischer Helles's

Patrick, thanks for breakfast.. burp........
Eileen, take a nap with the kidlets and dream of sugar plums..

PC, are you decorated yet?? get going woman how will Santa find your house if you aren't,

Jerry Please check in when you get to work.. we only got about 2 inches here but it is on top of ice How nice....

Donna, Please let us know when Amanda checks in.. they are calling for more snow today up this way. Took family 8 hours to come from Liberty NY usually takes about 4 egad...

Tom are you still in your sausage outfit?? can you take pictures please!!! hee hee lil

Jim PPSSSSSSTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I made it.

"I like turtles"

Morning every one - Fall has arrived here in Florida and I need to blow off all the fallen leaves on the driveway.

My work place is closed til 01-06-09 so I'll be around more to play.

woooohooooo

Amanda's home!!!!!!!!!

Snow blower is fixed...driveway clear, etc...



Happy Saturday to all!!

P.S., that would ha......................

Done bnowing slow for the time being. Ordering yatka mein (soup), not to eat but, to soak my feet in. If anyone wants it when I am done......

Glad to hear everyone is OK!! Glad you made it Jerry!

we are getting that blast tomorrow too. It is gorgeous outside though. Hit the stores early this morning, we should be good for food, staple items for a week at least. I do not want to go shopping anymore.

My kidlets are very sick with a cold, all 3. Better now than on Christmas.

Donna, hope Amanda gets home soon! Hugs Everyone!

Cold foot soup ? - no thanks !

VT toe cheese.

Eileen - better all at once the a prolonged domino effect ...

I agree Timmmy! Also better a cold than something worse.

Off to buy some new athletic shoes - Back later - Poof

GLad to hear all you NorthEasterners are alive and well and bnowslowed out .

We got about 6-7 inches of the white s%$t yesterday, and it never really quit. I shoveled off my deck (well most of it... well, part of it- ok, enough for the puppy to get out of the house when she has to "go") last night and this morning it had another 3/4 inch on it. Now it's picking up and another 6-10" are on the way by tomorrow evening. Sheesh... I'll need a second job just to pay my neighbor to plow!

Tribs and Wes - be careful! Check in when you get there, OK.

Kiwi - glad to see you here, sorry you have such a mess to clean up.

Eileen - sorry to hear about the kidlets... stay in and stay warm. Make them some chicken soup

Donna - hope your daughter is home safe and sound soon!!!

Debbie B - safe travels! Have fun with your daughter!

Timmmmmy - nice to see you around again

Roy - hope the headache is gone.

Patrick - I missed breakfast - what's for lunch?

Freddie - have you posted tree pics yet?

Tom - I'll pass on the foot soup, eeeeeeewww.

Jim - what Freddie said "PPSSSSSSTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Jerry - how are the valve caps selling?

Eileen, sad the babies are sick - brandy works. WHAT, DRINK ENOUGH BRANDY YA DON'T HEAR THEM SNIFFLE.

TOMATO ANGELS!!!!!

Kobi wanted a puppy cam at my house... you'll have to settle for a cute video of my kid and foster kid playing

Awwwwwwww!

My kids love Hot Toddies!! (Just kidding!!!!)

Followed by a few pictures from the other day:

Becky, c'mon lady, admit it, you really want some.

W.H.N. dug a tunnel around the back yard for Boris. If she didn't do that.... the s**w at the bottom of the steps would be yellow. Fortunately, the Jack Russell Terrorist "Sadie" is small enough that we just hang her on the clothes line (pulley type) and move her out away from the house a bit. When she barks, we look at the snow underneath her and if it is ..... um, dirty, we reel her back in. Might not be a acceptable form of "walking the dog" to some but, I don't have to leave the house and get my feet covered with s**w, just so she can go potty.

Love the video and pics.

Thanks Becky

Tom - you some funny fella

Good Morning Everyone! Stay safe those of you in crazy snow places!

BT Powers that be...please make the snow go away for when I come to New York on Tuesday, me no likey it! I am bringing my faux fur lined flipflops of course! They should help out a lot!

Beck-ee, would you please tell my therapistsssss that?

R.A., I am wearing my fur lined th*** today. It tickles, makes Tommy giggle.

O.K., all packed, leaving for the airport, going to be Texas bound in a little bit! It is warmer there too. Not like Florida, but beats temps we are having. Going to have some wind and rain a few days, but rest of time, A-OK. I will take it.

Becky, Thanks! Love puppy pics, our Ginger(JR) is no longer with us since last week, so puppy pics are great right now.

Will miss everyone, be safe, warm and dry.

heehee Tom, does the fur get stuck.....never mind!

Bad RosAnne, Bad ( but funny as heck!!!)

I'm sorry to hear about Ginger, Debbie Can I ask what happened?

And now presenting "Tommy Tu-tone in his tickling Thong!!!" Makes for a great circus act

Or a bar tender in a gay bar!

I think Dod is close by?

Debbie, I am so very sad to read that Ginger is no longer with you. Big hugs coming at ya girl.

I'm so sorry Debbie. I am also so sorry for missing that part in your post. Hugs coming your way.

Me too, sorry Debbie.

So sorry to hear about Ginger.

Bekeeeeeee...love the pics and video. I can't wait to see her interact with my critters.

So we are here, as if you didn't guess that already. I wish I would have brought my camera. The weather damage is pretty severe. We drove past the "big" park here and every single tree had damage. The ice is very thick.

Ok...have to go be social. Take care everyone and I will probably chat with you tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about Ginger

Glad to hear you are safe Tribs!

I just realized, we moved 2 years ago today!!!! Whoa how time flies!!! Only 2 years ago, we had green grass...

Debbie, what happened to Ginger?? I hope it wasn't your neighbor....








OK, I gotta throw in a YAY!! for Timmmy coming out to play w/ us for a while!! And to Donna for Amanda being home! And to Debbie for heading South to be with Tiffany!!

Eileen, hugs to your babies

Tribs, be careful out there...Steve may need supplies - take him vodka, just toss it towards his house!

Tom, since I ate your breakfast, I'm thinkin' you can have your lunch, toe jam and all!!

My house is now CHRISTMASSY!!! I have decorations EVERYWHERE! And the tree has lights on it and a kitten in it! Rafe and Olivia won't put any ornaments on it 'til Kayla gets here, so we will be having a partay tonite!!!

Life is good!!!!!

Is it cold enough for ya??

Becky, love the video!! She looks like she just belongs with you.....

I wish I could make a video w/ Bas and Calypso and Brody!!! It gets pretty dang crazy in here with them!! Two BIG dogs and this little Bas-Man who has NO FEAR!!! Gotta love my little man!!

Morning all Sorry about the icky weather so many of you are having...warm hugs.

tommy, i hope you have on your nice white plush robe with your fuzzy thong tee hee...

Becky, love the vid and pics. I think though, you need to rename Josie "miss thang." poor jingles, he's a trooper!

Debbie, hugs on the loss of Ginger

Cynde - I told you she was earning the nickname Miss Thang! She is part piranha, I swear. She lost two of her baby teeth chewing on Jingles the other night, LOL She's a really good puppy, though... getting the hang of things quickly.

Becky, any news on Miss Thang's condition?

Hey Bubba...

NO SNOW HERE
NO SNOW HERE
NO SNOW HERE

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAAHHA!!!

...sorry....

Smack you are a hard A$$ed man!!! not nice not nice at all.. Tommy is probably all nice and comfyin his furlined thong and bathrobe..

Well kids that's it for me.

Click

I got some new shoes - you should see how fast they make me run ....

(Message edited by muddysoapfish on December 20, 2008)

Freddie, T...Bubba knows better.

Cynde - it's looking like a whopping case of hip dysplasia... probably will need surgery fairly soon to prevent it from becoming disabling. I will be sending x-rays off next week for the radiologist and surgeon to take a peek at and give me their $35 worth (I wish it were only 2 cents, lol)

LOL Timmmmmy - my younger brother used to say that all the time when he was a little kid

HELLO!!!!!!!!!

Debbie --- I'm so hoping that you just mean that Ginger is at someone else's house.... my gosh that's a terrible post and run!!

Becky --- she's a beauty and Jingles is great with her. Rasta had terrible dysplacia. That's why she's a $2500 mutt with one good hip held in place with pins Worth every penny and then some!

We had a lot of fun last night at the Lipsticker's Christmas party -- good food and friends

We didn't get any pics of my $10 dress except this one.......

My fancy schmancy hose kept falling down OOPS!

I've been reading through my cookbooks this afternoon just waiting for that perfect recipe to pop out.

Close Freddie, real close. Came home to a pleasant surprise, Ethan and Jen were here Got to talk to them for a while then started dinner a little while ago. Pork roast, baked potatoes and ginger/honey glazed carrots - mmmmmmmm comfort food. WHN is making peanut butter and chocolate bars the house smells wonderful.

P.S., I decided to have mu shi instead of soup. I like the way the veggibulls feel tween my toes Want some?

Johnny Smack a hard*** - ROTFLMAO HERE

Timmy, that is runny right there, I don't care who you are.

Jerry, I hope you have a safe trip home Buddy. The roads up here are glazed. Thankfully, the town is only using sand at the intersections right now. As cold as it is salt won't do any good and I really don't want them using calcium chloride for "my" sake. Nope, I just drive a little slower - no problem.

Beck-ee, give that girl a proper name, she ain't going nowhere

Nice Pics, Tara... there seems to be some (ahem) inappropriate touching going on in the front row.LOL

I think it's finally time to get myself in gear and get something accomplished. Ugh... what a lazy day! And the sn*w keeps coming down

Boom, your hair is down to your BUTT!??????

God I envy you. Aren't you even in the group pic?

OK guys, my days on BT are dying down, I see that. Today I'm just grieving and thank God I have a good husband, a great best friend, great family, and wonderful daughters, though my phone is dead now from all the calls and is plugged in, but I don't think I'm going to answer any more calls today.

There's a song I can't quit playing over and over, delayed grief, I suppose...but this song has reminded me of my brother ever since the day 13 years ago he told me he was HIV positive. He fell into this relationship with a radio DJ, Ginger in the morning, after he got out of a 6 year stint with the Marines, and I really hoped it was what he needed. But she was severely bipolar, and left him with a son to raise alone at 9 months. I guess since I've been talking to aunts and uncles all day explaining what happened to him, I'm drawn to this song. She gave him loving that his body couldn't handle. I was so worried for my sister and my brother during the 80's when AIDS became rampant, and it actually touched, no TORE apart our lives. Sorry, I'm Downer Debbie tonight? lol Jerry, thank you for telling me I'm not but I know I am. xx

But if you get a moment, listen and watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-n-jZJhpT4

Love you all.

mmmmmm..... Tom I love the way you cook may i have a choc/peanut butter bar please?!!!

Yeah, Becky.... time for me to shag it too. I made it to the gym this morning but that's the extent of my productivity. I have to get over to a friend's holiday boutique and then the farmer's market. I want to cook, cook, cook!!

See ya'll later

Kathy you're really not a DD --- by coming here with your worries and fears we have a chance to help. Even if it's only to listen and say we love you.
I've lost so many friends to aids --- every male that I worked with in Wash DC (restaurant business) died of aids. Horribly painful. They were my only family for so many years during the breakup of my first marriage. It was excrutiating not being able to ease their pain.
So come here and vent as much as you can.

Yup, my hair is just about down to the bottom of my back. I was growing it to donate for Locks of Love but now my hubby Loves the Locks. I guess I'll keep it till spring - then it's getting sheared!
btw- I'm in the back row 2nd from the left.

Okay, now I really do have to go or my name will be mud with my friend - only 2 hours left at her boutique.

I had a visit from the Queen of the Lake. Eileen's friend, from Canada. We have 5 white pelicans on the lake today. Here's one who got close at sunset.

Pretty pelican --

Kathy, chatting isn't all goofy jokes and silliness.

Real life is always welcome. No matter what.

One of the natural cushions we have when we're in grief is the friendship, support and love of people around us who can identify with our pain and can help bear the load, because they're not in pain at the same exact time. Then later on we find ourselves in the reverse position.

I have found compassion from BTers during past loss and it helped me bear up. I hope you will stick around to whatever degree you want, and the virtual hugs will be here.

Heartfelt wishes, Niki

Hugs Kathy...not a downer...that's what friends are for...listening...encouraging...hugging...praying for each other!

My day was good.....Daniel, Amanda and I went and did some last minute Christmas shopping and grocery shopping, went to McDonalds and did a gift exchange with my best friend in a parking lot because she was on the way back home from the hospital with her Mom who should NOT have been released!

Kathy, ditto to what Tara, Niki and Donna already said. Lost a cousin and a few friends to that insidious disease myself. It's tough watching once healthy and beautiful people slowly wilt and suffer.

Kathy, what you did for Ron is the hardest thing anyone ever has to do for another. It prompted me to start the paperwork required in this state to legally prepare and register my Advanced Medical Directive and D.N.R. Order. When the day comes that I can not communicate my wishes, I do not want to place anyone in the position you were in, nor do I want anyone to have the power to go against my wishes.

I listened to the song - thanks.

Hugs and wishes for inner peace going out to you.

Tara, yes you may. I think I am going to grab one and a cup of milk to wash it down.

kathy
big hugsssssssssssssssss. must have been tremendously hard. lean on us whenever u need to
es
