Stuff A Jellyfish Down Your Wetsuit
[Rob is a commercial diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister, which was submitted to a worst job experience contest on a Ft. Wayne, Indiana radio station. It won 1st prize...]

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.

Last week I had a bad day at the office.

I know you've been feeling down lately at your work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.

Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints.

What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it.

This only made things worse.

Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.

Now since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were all laughing hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive.

I was instructed to make 3 agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber.

The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for 2 days because my butt hole was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Now repeat to yourself, “I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.”

Good Morning Eileen, Elain and Tom...

Congrats to your Dad, Eileen...and I'm so very glad you are feeling better!!

Warm hugs from frigid Pennsylvania....off to ready myself for the LAST WORK DAY OF THE WEEK!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

Good Morning Brian , Donna, Eileen & Tom

Donna - thanks for the links....just voted!

Eileen - glad you're feeling a bit better
And, congratulations to your Dad

Tom - time to get that coffee going!

Brian

Have a wonderful Day Everyone
Stay warm

Hugs

Good Morning Tom, Elaine! LOL Brian!

Donna - WooHoo!!!

Good morning all. Brian UL alert on the jellyfish in the wetsuit.

Hey that spymobile from the CIA operatives at Google has been down my street.



You can look yourself at

Lat 43? 0'33.13"N
Log 71?11'17.73"W

Now about that extra car in the driveway, I will be having a long talk with Sue about that, later today. I do need to find that magic CSI software that takes pixels from a picture and brings back the lost info to get the tag number.

Good Morning All.....almost Christmas

If you would say a special prayer for Grayson this morning he had a bad weekend and is having surgery this morning.


Busy day on tap but, let's see what we can get cranked up!!!!

I need more coffee that's for darn sure.

BH, whats going on with Grayson?

His counts are low...he couldn't walk this weekend....this is from his mom.

He is getting double doses of Neupogen every morning at 6:00 am. This is inserted by needle into a small device that is slid up under the skin on the back of his upper arm. That means he is not actually getting an injection into the skin, but the medicine burns and stings as it goes in. It stimulates his bone marrow and causes him to have bad pains in his shins. Just think of your bones aching from the inside all the way down your leg. He also received a dose at 6:00 PM today and they will increase the dose tomorrow morning. Then they will draw his blood labs around 7:00 AM and if his counts are high enough they will take him to surgery at 9:00 to insert a catheter in his artery in his groin. This will be the first step in harvesting his stem cells

BH, thoughts go out to Grayson, gentle hugs. Thoughts are with the family esp. during this time of year.

I'm very sorry for the past couple days rubbing it in that I am going to Bonaire on Saturday. It just was not right, and for that I am truly sorry if I have made anyone angry at me. However, this is really all I can say, as I have to pack today to go to Bonaire on Saturday. I love you all.

Poor Grayson. (((((((HUGS))))))) to you both.

Morning all! Exciting day here. I have the news on and there is an awesome rescue going on in Maryland. The largest watermain in the US broke. I just saw two kids pulled out via helicopter basket. Way to go rescue workers!

And then...I fed a hawk this morning. Ooops! I put out a ton of seed on the deck and had every little bird in the neighborhood on my deck. Well, Mr. Coopers Hawk saw the activity and helped himself. As you can imagine, the only thing left on my deck is a bunch of seed and one little feather.

Pegi....I voted!

Grayson will be in my thoughts.



Jim I'm so sorry you have to spend the time packing.

Yeah Jim....leave us here in the cold and nasty weather and go on to a warm island and don't even give us a second thought.......by the way you got any extra room in your suitcase????

I just finished reading the thread today. Lots of warm caring thoughts for Grayson. Eileen...congrats to your dad and I'm glad you are all feeling better. Brian...that was hilarious! Nice driveway Cecil. Hello everyone else! Except for Jim who seems to revel in rubbing our noses in his good fortune.

Well...I did it again. Ok, I'll go away so you all will come out and play.

What????

I was just eating a biscuit and watching the rescues from the water main break.....when I was at Andrews Airplane Patch I use to go down that road a lot when we would go to Bethesda.

Isn't that rescue amazing? I've seen 4 people total pulled out. Those guys are amazing!!!

Rescue boat has sunk and the guy that got the two out of the cars is still out there.

That is bad. My station took a "break" hopefully they will go back to the rescue soon.

Kinda Good Morning Everyone!

I'm so sorry to hear about Grayson. I've been sending him cards and pictures. I've been so busy I haven't checked on him in a few days. That makes me feel bad. When I don't have my own kids here, he is all I think about. He's got ME back now!! I will leave a note on his site...

And that water main thing!! Thanks for the link BH. That's a mess, I hope everyone is safe.

Me and the kids just finished making MORE cookies. I have wrapping to do. Laundry going. Cleaning to do. Rafe is mowing. He and Livi are going to help me clean. So, all is good here, and I'm not going to dwell on my trivial problems at all anymore.

I have to get to my email now and get caught up there and get some sent!!!

How many hours do I have left for today??? I've been at it since 4 and still not enough time! But, IT'S ALL GOOD!!! The whole family will be together tomorrow and yall have electric and heat and Kobi is back!!

Henry is fine!! He's growing. I thought he'd do ok in the aquarium for the winter, but he's really growing!!

I must go wrap now. Can't I just stick stuff in Walmart bags and add a bow?? I bet Santa would LOVE that idea. I'll ask him tomorrow nite!
If he wants any of my cookies he'll like it!!!

OMG!! OK, I guess when I check my email I should look at it ALL!!!!! Got the puzzle thing now!!!LMAO

OMGosh I'm soooo lost on this thread

Morning BTrs

BH thank you for the update on Grayson - I'll add a note to his site and healing white light to go with it.

So I'm such a mush-head. Yesterday I was in the checkout line at Macy's, a woman two ahead of me was buying a shirt and asked if they were giving discounts to the Tea Fire Victims --- hard enough to ask but then she has to show paperwork, then the clerk has to go 'upstairs' for special forms and approval, yadda yadda yadda. I was almost finished checking out and she was still trying to buy a shirt. I got her a $10 gift card and had all intention of giving her a big hug when I gave it to her but I'm such a mush I couldn't keep from crying so I practicaly shoved it at her, wished her luck and happy holidays and RAN! I did have my Santa Hat on though so at least I looked the part

Something tells me that today is going to be busy.

Thanks You folks.....you know why.

Hi Y'all...busy day here..

Prayers for Grayson...

this is a friend of mine, he actually introduced me to diving about 8 years ago.
The blog is a friend of his, Roger(my friend) is the mid-air photo. They are a group of divers in Dutch Harbor. If you google bearing sea divers Roger is a videographer for discovery channel and has some cool videos on youtube..
giant stride

$2.72

So this is how my week has gone.....been busy... about 1 1/2 ago the AC tech was here working on a unit....started soldering and guess what "I HAVE FIRE ALARM"...I'm in a 26 story building and it's cold and rainy and the fancy fire alarm system tells you what floor caused the problem and I am the only one on the WHOLE Floor....the folks are real happy now...NOT....so normally we have the building take us off their system and I turn mine off......and oh yeah he also forgot to call my alarm center before he started working.

But It's All Good" or it will be in a little while.

That stinks, thank God for Dr, Depend. I'm doing just fine now as well.

Jerry get a spare ready I might need one before this week is over!!!!!!!!!!

Tara, I wish I could be there right now to give you a hug.

I feel it Tom --- thanks
I'm giving you one back Big Guy --- just read your post to Grayson. You're a good man!

Chuck, have you been making table candles at work? I used to set off the fire alarm here when I lit them. Thank God I figured out how to unplug that dang thing.

Sorry folks but it feels like a Friday to me. Let's liven this place up a bit

No Tom - it's only Tuesday - which means tonight it's business time "oh yah baby"

quick check in, hugs to those that need them!

A peep at work is having nose surgery right now. She broke it surfing in Hawaii a couple weeks ago. I convinced her to let Michael take her, wait for her, then take her back to our house and we will nurse her back to health. She's young, and was just going to have a friend "drop her off" for surgery....not! Her mom just called to see if she is out of surgery, and was VERY thankful that we offered to care for her as she wasn't able to get more time off from work to come down.

I am so sad...soon there will only be one...I'm not sure when they are "leaving" for the Holidays, but I bet it's soon...

Little miss thang now has a pink color (lavendar, whatever)


they are fighting over the chewbones


Hugs to those who need them!

Timmmy, I thought you visited her Mother on Tuesday nights?

Tink, dang kids, who do they think they are, leaving us and all?

Dang, gotta get new Business socks, put a hole in one last Wednesday. Guess I should have been more diligent about getting pedicures. After all, that was the reason I got that new Dremel.

I understand there will be new cams at each one of the puppies adopted homes so we can continue to watch them ...

Good afternoon! I'm still waiting for the last jigsaw piece.

This afternoon was interesting. I walked down to do the animals in blizzard conditions. Everything was going great until I dumped the bobcat's food bowl into her water bowl - #$@@#%%&!!! Then, I being the good person I am, agreed to feed the fawns. I feed them - in and out, lickity split! Then leave and have to walk up the huge hill (Becky has seen it) in the snow. Of course, my lovely allergy to the fawns kicks in about half way up the hill. Thankfully a neighbor picked me up. I don't think I would have finished that hill. I love fawns but hate my allergy to them.

The Puppy Cam is FUN
Daddy's playing with the kids
Quick run over and grab a few smiles!!

and just like that.... time to nap
I think we could all learn something from those pups!

Naps are nice

Dr. Depend thinks that I should go home now.

Boom, they have two switches, just like kids, on...and off...LOL!

I think the webcam company offered cams to each new owner, but they said it was up to the new owners if they wanted the cams...they do have on their page they will keep a cam at their house, so we can watch little miss thang grow...they are sooo cute!

Peep is out of surgery and it went well...YEAH!

They are awake again...LOL!

I'm cornfused about the jigsaw thang
Tribs glad your neighbor helped out and you were there for the KARE animals

I just ordered a Honeybaked Ham for the Fire station Xmas dinner. I can't imagine grocery shopping tonight is going to be much fun but they've just finally decided what they want to do. I got a little ham for Guy and me - we'll have our Xmas on Friday... then Saturday is his birthday so the party/fun continues. Best part is he's off work after Christmas until the 1st.

Tink, your peep is a lucky gal... if I ever break my nose I'm coming down your way

Jerry take some donuts for the road.

I'm making Christmas orange balls.

I'm still wishing for RumGlitters....

might have to make a batch

I'm going to Cynde's, I have a paper cut

Time to put my Christmas ball in the oven.

Click!

Tara - YGM re: puzzle pieces

If you shop at Costco, pick up a leg of lamb, they make great clubs.

Time to put the ice skates on the truck and head home. Hope someone is baking cookies when I get there. COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY!!!!!

CYA

PUPPIES GONE WILD

Hey guys! How do I make a martini? We have vodka and vermooth...what is the ratio???? I also have olives.

Tribs, are you a vodka drinker?
If not, watch out.
1. You need a mixer for the ice.
2. Olives.
3. Some do two parts Ver to one part Vod.
4. Best to sit on the floor. Less distance to fall.

Yep...I discovered a little while ago that I like vodka. Wes drinks vodka straight, so he has no idea how to mix the ver. They actually sell two types of vermooth. I had to ask the guy in the liquor store which one to buy. LOL! You would think at my age, I would know more about liquor. Ha!

Last time I drank it I saw God.




































Twice!

Tribs, do what i do. pour the vodka, ice, and about a teaspoon of olive juice in the shaker. Shake and pour, top with as many olives you like. OR, do what I usually do, take a glass, put some ice in it, pour in the vodka, a teaspoon of olive juice, add the olives, and sip away...

I never got the vermouth thing...ruins good vodka in my book....LOL! If you do use the vermouth, just a "splash" not to much.

Tribs, I knew I liked Wes You can add a tablespoon of olive juice if you like, i usually just tip the jar over the glass and pour a little...LOL!

And on the vermouth, I have bought one kind in my lifetime, and it was the wrong kind, it was the kind for gin, not vodka.

If you don't like the taste of vodka so much, put one part vodka to two parts juice you like, cranberry, strawberry, grape, pamagranet (sp), shake, and pour...they are GOOD!

Jerry, remind me to never ask for a martini at your house....it's more like 2/3 vodka, 1/3 vermouth...

http://www.greatcocktails.co.uk/how-make-vodka-martini.html

(Message edited by cyndelee on December 23, 2008)

Well...I went with the 2/3 combo. I need more olive juice in it. I really do like dirty martinis. We were at dinner a few weeks back at a steak house/martini bar and their dirty martini came with olives stuffed with caviar. I think I really like the salt!

or, if you just like to look at movies


or, a pomegranate martini....i know this place, 230 Forest, Laguna Beach...they DO make great martinis!


ok, i REALLY have to get back to work!

Oh Tink...they did have two types of vermouth: extra dry and sweet. The guy said to buy the extra dry. I actually tried a little taste before I mixed it and I do like it. Of course Wes turned green when I did it. LOL!

Those were great! I love being able to watch the videos.

Tribs, I think I bought the sweet...still in the liquor cabinet unopened.

I'm with Wes, why ruin perfectly good vodka by putting something else in it (besides olive juice) tee hee....

Will you please go wake up the puppies? They are snoooooooozing!

Wes does love his vodka. LOL! We have to get the two of you together. Did I ever post about our nephew drinking all of our vodka? Wes was not happy.

Tribs soak the olives in the vermouth, fill glass with vodka and put in the olive without the rest of the vermouth..if you want dip your finger in the vermouth and rim the glass..
Perfect martini!!

Hello everybody!

Cynde, thanks for being there for your friend; you are awesome!!! OUCHIE on the broken nose. What a great story she can tell, though, about hanging ten/riding pipe in Hawaii Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Boom, your pay it forward today made me smile. You are a dear and I know you made that woman's day!!!! It makes you feel good any time of year to do good and impact someone's life.

PS, thanks! I am glad to be back in action I missed ya.

Linda, THANK YOU!!!!! I owe you a big thanks and an email is heading your way!!!!!!!!!

I am a tired pup tonight. Had our annual soup kitchen Christmas dinner. We served a wonderful meal to 65 needy folks in our community. Turkey, ham, beans, rolls, potato casserole, fresh fruit cups & Christmas cookies. I made a nice little gift bag for each person with hard candies.
We also had a Christmas tree that was decorated with donated gifts ranging from; toys for kids to scarves, hats, gloves, undies, and other needed things. It is such a blessing & so uplifting to be involved in our soup kitchen; serving others. I'll continue to do it each Tuesday until.......

I'm home know with my feet up and surrounded by three Yorkie girls; all snoring lol.
Need to be wrapping Rylan's gifts but I am tired and there is always tomorrow

Tribs, one is scratching...oh no, now back asleep.

I think you mentioned that your nephew stayed at your house and sucked all the vodka dry?

I normally have wine at night, but when I go to dick and grace's, dick and i always drink vodka on the rocks together. I think I'm having vodka tonight though...got a hankering now!

Tribs you can always use the dry vermouth in cooking too heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tribs, do what Freddie does, or since I don't like vermouth, I put the olives in vodka to soak in the fridge and snack on them.

Gosh, I sound like an alki...lol! I don't do it ALL the time, just a couple of times a year...i swear!

Kobi, good for you, I bet you are beat, but think of the xmas you brought to all those folks!

boom, nice pay it forward gal!

Thanks, Cynde.

I think I may have to try me some Vodka now I'm a Crown gal but I am adventurous LOL!

Hey, guys. I talked to RosAnne this afternoon. She was stuck with two restless kids at LAX, her flight cancelled or delayed or something. She sounded a little frazzled...

I'm hoping she's made it to NYC by now...

Oh, and make mine tequila....

Barbara Barbara Barbara.. you and I will have to drink together soon I love tequila!!!!!!

We make ours by filling the cap of the vermouth bottle with vermouth, swirl it around in the cap and pour it out, dump what's left in the cap into a martini shaker filled with ice, pour your vodka and a bit of olive juice into the shaker, shake shake shake, then strain into chilled martini glasses.

This site will give you all you need to know and then some --- MartiniArt.com very fun site and Jerry the owner is a great guy. Loads of good recipes too!

Go for it!

*** I started this post about an hour ago.... customers and friends bearing Xmas gifts came into the store

Freddie, you're on, woman.

I have blessedly cheap taste in the stuff....Cuervo Gold does it for me. Stephen, my Tequila Snob friend turns up his nose at me....

Hi Kobi Glad you're comfy, safe and sound. Are you finished with your work week? I'll be back in tomorrow at least for part of the day.

Fingers crossed for RA ---- think she will check in with us once she's settled?

Freddie can I come too --- my nickname used to be TequilaTara but I was in my 20's then

Tribs, how'ztha tini's goin????

I, too, hope that RosAnne has made it to NYC. Thanks for the update, CB. I missed talking to her before she left

Thanks, Tara I am sitting here in my yellow, flannel Yorkie jammies. I be stylin' lol!

We are working 1/2 day tomorrow, handing out Christmas bonuses & then taking our employees out to lunch. They will have a good day and so will we. Won't be back in the office until next Monday. Can I get a woo hoo!!! Hell, that might be just enough time to go to BON for a loooong weekend.

Kobi, It was hard to hear her over the airport PA, but I thought she was muttering something about rum balls....

CB, I am sure she was....LMAO!!!
Glitters, glitters, glitters LOL!
What a crapa@@ way to start your Holiday though. I hope she gets there safely and before Christmas!

CB, nice to see you pop in

I am working half day tomorrow, and then Friday. There will only be three of us in the office on Friday, how much work do you think we will get done? LOL!

OK, time to head home and see how my peep is doing/feeling. Her face was all bandaged up when I dropped the good drugs off for her...she can't breathe through her nose, she said that was bugging her, but then, she'd only been out of surgery a couple of hours...I have a feeling she will be a hurtin' puppy tonight.

Catch ya on the flip side!

Wes is working tomorrow as well. I'm working from home. Two book reviews and an encyclopedia entry to write - yawn! I hope your friend is feeling ok after the surgery. Kobi, rub a belly or two for me. I need to be checking out. Martini one was about 2/3 vodka, 1/3 vermouth and a splash of olive juice. The second one was 4/5 vodka 1/8 vermouth and the rest olive juice. I like the salt so need the olive juice. The second one was way too much vodka for me. I'm going night night! Have a good evening you guys.

PUPPY ALERT!!!
Daddy is in playing with them
Quick go see --------->>>>>>>>

OK you guys have to hear this one! It ranks right up there with a white trash Christmas
Rob and I are doing a tag team Christmas this year. Totally NOT what we normally do but who cares about normal, right?!

Well, his Mom's doggie is very ill and can't really be stressed. SO, we had plans to go home and stay at his Mom's home. She was going to put her pup in the kennel and go to Rob's sisters' house across town. We just don't like her being along on Christmas.
Simple plan so far? WRONG....doc doesn't want pup in the kennel since she's on heart meds, etc. No problemo but we were going to take our three musketeers and stay at his Mom's house since her pup would not be there and we have no puppy sitter. Having the whole house to ourselves would be awesome! This gets better so stay with me

After much him-hawing around we decided to do the following: Rob will go home tomorrow and have Christmas Eve & day with his family. Spend the night with his Mom so she won't waken Christmas morning alone. He and his Mom will go over to his sister's (she has 3 pups herself) on Christmas morning for breakfast. Rob will leave from there and go to my Mom's and take gifts for Rylan Thank GOODNESS all of these folks only live 3 miles apart lol. Who's missing from this scenario? Moi!

I am going to leave late Christmas Day and go home to be with my family; spending the night and coming home Friday. I will probably just stay at Rob's Mom's house since we already slept in the guest room this past weekend
It's just a silly kinda Christmas but, whatever! I'm game for different.
Rob and I will pass each other on Interstate 81 in Virginia. Maybe we can rendeavous somewhere at rest stop LMAO. We're having our own FOUR Christmas's

My goodness so who's got Vodka??!?! LOL

AA meeting next week at the VAFW hall.

Hi, my name is ........... and I'm a BT aholic

Awww, I missed Daddy play time with the pups They are romping around now though and look at the cute Christmas tree toy !!!

Goodnight, Jeanine!
Goodnight, Cynde!

Well, I can't top that Kobi but I did just call Guy just to see if there was anything they needed for dinner at the station, since I'm braving the grocery store here in a bit....
Um.... we were planning on string beans, rolls, a couple of pies, salad stuff (keep in mind that I'm already picking up a honeybaked ham and making scalloped potatoes). Okay? "Since you're going to the store anyway could you pick up everything and I'll bring it in on Christmas day?"

Nothing like finding out you have to shop for an entire dinner for 15

Ahhhh... Shiba Daddy just gave Amaya and Aki candy canes.... don't know where Ayumi is.

HELP ME!!
Its 3:30 AM here in Kosovo and there is some kind of cold flaky white stuff falling and building up on everything. To make it worse its dark in Bonaire so noting to see on the cams.
And since it is 3:30 here its officially Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas
Mitch

LOL, Jerry
No hot flashes tonight though so we won't need that therapy!! lol

Jerry we don't have meetings, we have Mini Meets!

Kobi, Eric and I are kind of doing the same. Eric is coming to Mom's tomorrow night, but will sleep at a motel while I stay with mom and take care of her, come visit and probably eat with us, then back to motel....so so close and yet so far...then go home Friday. It's nuts, but very nice of Eric to make the effort.

AND he's bringing me a jacket....whoo hoo! I left town with a pair of jeans, three black sweatshirts, and no jacket; go figure.

My Christmas is shaping up to be a movie I am afraid LOL!

Tara, sounds like you're having quite the meal now You're a great fire station hostess though! I know they'll be loving whatever you bring.

I can't even believe that I have one more gift to buy yet and I have to go to Costco. I am TOTALLY crazy for going there tomorrow. I better get online and figure out what their hours are. UGH!!!! It was CRAZY there on Monday as I barely got out unscathed LOL!
Be safe in the grocery store, Tara!!!!

I saw the cute little candy cane toys Those people are the best furparents I tell ya! I'd like to send them my girls for 11 weeks LOL!

Merry Christmas to you Mitch
CB, that Eric is a real keeper, I tell ya. Give him a smooch from me when you see him and one for your mom just because.

Merry Christmas, Mitch! Glad to see you peeking in.

CB, that is so very sweet for Eric to come be with you guys. Sounds like a great Holiday either way you do it. Sometimes the unexpected & unconventional it just OK.
Rob and I are together 24/7 so one day apart will be kinda nice

I was in Costco last night...it scared me....

Kobi, I'm telling you - you need you're own reality tv show. Forget Ozzy and Sharon ---- Kobi and Rob and the girls
You know the Girls Next Door left old Heff -- you could fill the void

UhOh... I think they are getting set up for the GoodBye videos.....

Merry Christmas Mitch. I feel your pain, we have 16" of that sh$t just north of Boston, MA.

KIV, I have been cooking for 5 hr. I'm done in. I need help!

LOL..often times I think about what kind of show we could do LOL! Wonder if MTV or somebody would pick us up?!? LMAO
The funny thing is the sh** that happens here you just can't make up I should at least keep a journal that's for dam sure!

CB, I'm proud of you girl....going to Costco!!!! I just love that store This time of year is kinda scary there. Tomorrow will be a challenge; I will have my blackbelt on and my sword

I see two pups What happened to the other one?!?!?! OH NO..............

I need bigger Christmas balls!

Holy cow, Jerry! You have to be tired and not hungry

Whatcha cooking?

Hey, Mitch! didn't see you drop in. Are you a Bonaire denizan when you're in this hemisphere?





Heff's single???

Wow. All those postings almost at once....cool.

Kobi, I tried to go somewhere near a mall today and lost heart...it's all yours tomorrow, girlfriend....

Okay, time to brave the grocery....
see ya'll later

The proper way to cook / bake Christmas balls is to bake two at a time, but you need help as it has to be done quickly, so, I need someone to hold my Christmas balls for me.

Whew....read where Ayumi is socializing so she is gone at present. I hope they don't take the other 2 while she's gone; how poopy would that be for her to come home to NO playmates

Goodness, if Hef is single I need to get my thong out and work it baby LOL!

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

CB, you can do it I have faith in you, girl!!! You so make me giggle and we're gonna meet someday and go shopping!!!!

Jerry, O M G....I don't know what to say but there may be a support group for that one LOL!

CB Im usually here lurking but rarely post I have got the "NEW" dropped off bonaire talker now. In order to answer your question you will have to tell me what a denizan is? I googled it but no luck.
Mitch

See ya Tara!!! Be safe out there.
If I don't see you here later have a great night!

No soup for me?

Mitch, don't be a stranger! Join us at the nuthouse anytime! There is room for sure

Support, yah, that's the ticket!

Freddie has crashed, I'm right behind her, Grasslapper is taking care of her friend, Tom is taking ballroom dancing lesions. Have fun kids, BT is all yours.

Good night kids.

Man, no guards and most BT peeps are gone. What shall we get into?!?! LOL

Goodnight, Jerry. See ya tomorrow.

Tom's got dancing lesions?!!?
Is he on the pole tonight?!?! LOL.....you know, in Nascar, that's a good thing. It means you had the best qualifying time/speed AND you're starting up front in the first row LOL!
OMG I think I need to go to bed.

I better get cracking at wrapping the last few naked gifts

CB, have a good night and hugs to your Mom from me.
See you guys tomorrow......

Mitch, I probably misspelled it....it means something between a dweller and a lurker, sort of. I did misspell it...it's denizen.

Lordy, lordy....I'm not even gonna make it to House, MD tonight. Nighty Night, my fellow Denizens...

CB being on puppy meds again?

Well in that case I've wanted to go to Bonaire since i heard about it from a dive shop and thanks to this deployment i can now afford to go. My fist trip is 18-25 Apr. I found this nut house after i booked the trip. Enjoy House one of my favorite shows it comes on friday nights here.
Mitch

Click.

Hiya Gang! So the grocery was actually not too bad but you'll never believe this... I forgot to get wine and vodka!!! I must have a fever!

A lesson learned tonight --- don't do all of your shopping online on the same day. Guy and I did ours on Friday so tonight I came home to this

Our UPS dude must have loved us today

Now off to make Roger & Karen Huff's Hawaiian Bread dip for tomorrow night.

Mitch, don't be a stranger!!!

That cat is so adorable! I bet all it was thinking was....let me have a box!

Kobi, You're welcome. Now you have no excuse not to sew a button on. Or not. HA!
