Denise, Will see if the guard crab is still about.

Eileen, I was going to do a rump roast in the slow cooker today, but forgot to defrost it, so onto plan B, when I figure out what that is.

Lots of last minute errands and things to do about the house to get it ready for the housesitter today. Off to it, check back later!

bye for now...really...

It IS all good!!

I'm sick of the cold!

I don't want to work. I just want to bang on the drums all day.

Jerry, although we have not had the extremes that you guys had in New England, I am also very sick of the cold and being cold. Hang tight bro, change is coming.

JERRY WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH THAT WHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry, I'm just sick with a cold -- because of the cold.

Morning everyone! I'm preparing for another busy day.
Guess what my Terry did yesterday on his day off? He went to the Harley shop, started drooling and twitching so a salesman came to the rescue. All he brought home was brochures, but we all know what this means.

Thanks Patrick, what a guy!

Here you go Linda....this might make him change his mind.

Good Morning All It Is FRIDAY!!!!!!

And yes

It's All Good

Easy Rider Bike Show in town this weekend and the temp Sunday 62.....maybe a chance to roll a few miles on the RoadKing.

Darn sorry Linda was that the wrong video....whoops.

Killed the thread.....now I feel bad

Morning!!
Happy Friday Y'all!!

DEBBIE!!! WHOO-HOOO!!!

I am soooo confused!!

(Message edited by kristi_tn on February 6, 2009)

Morning Krispi. Are you busy today, or can you play?

Morning Linda...not too bad today...what about you?

Eileen, sounds like super helmart....your lonblah..

Krispi, One coworker took a personal day, the boss will be in after noon, and the other coworker . . is not in yet and has meetings this morning. YES! I can work on projects that need quiet time. And post here.

whoo-hoo! now thats a good friday Linda!
I noticed you have lost more #'s...I found them

GOOD FOR YOU though!!

Maybe I need to do the Matt dance more often

Good morning cyber buddies!

I've used Brian's method of voting this morning.

I voted 10 times through aol
10 times through facebook
and 10 times through BT

But using this link, I don't see where the votes are being counted.

Current scores and position.....

http://www.brickfish.com/Lifestyles/ArtistsChoiceRound2?tab=entries&rnk=true&gridview=false
When I view the spiral, it looks like nothing has changed since yesterday.

I'm cornfused.

I have lots to do today. Our old fridge is sitting just inside the family room, awaiting me to transfer all contents to the new fridge in the kitchen. Tonight we'll move the old to the garage.

I NEED to get out in this cold and buy dog food. Petsmart sent a coupon for a free toy for Chaos' birthday, he's 3 now, so he'll get a special treat today too. I also need to pick up a super duper heavy duty plug because the old fridge and the freezer will be plugged into the same outlet. I'll see in time if we can do without the big freezer, and may get rid of it.

They say it'll warm up a bit - I'm hoping so! Or else I'll move to Florida - oh wait......

Safe travels home Tom. I'm sorry I had such a busy week and didn't get to see you!

Stay warm everybody!

Hi Gail. Happy hunting/shopping. Happy birthday Chaos!! The big three.

Krispi. I weigh myself at work on the doctor type scales. For some reason we have them in all restrooms and of course in the donor room. Must be at least 110# to donate. My progress is slow, but I'm only shooting for 3.5 lbs a month for the next 3 months. I should be able to do that. The sit-up and push-up challenge is really helping with my core strength.

Hi and TGIF!!

Have a great trip Debbie, I'm sure you'll love it!!

We are expecting a cool down and rain here this weekend!! Woohoo, I'm tired of the high 70's and low 80's!

Morning Brad. This is what's happening in Tampa this weekend. http://www.gasparillapiratefest.com/index_event.shtml

The whole month is a big celebration with parades, runs, a judged art show and lots of parties.

Linda, sounds fun! This is the time of year when Phoenix has a lot of goings on also. Reminds me of my favorite kids joke...why are pirates so mean?

Hmmm Why are they so mean?

They just arrrrrrrrrrrrrr (with a pirate accent of course!)

I should have known, but I was thinking something to do with hook hands and eye patches.

morning all...busy days for me at the donut shop. Here's something to make you smile I hope.


and
Skinny ••••• Diet

Linda, Krispi, I've lost about 15 pounds in the last couple of months (I won't tell you how many more I need to lose...lol). Besides working out, I have given up ALL delicious foods. Bread, butter, condiments (mayo), pasta, and CHEESE...the cheese was the hardest to give up. I now find that eating the bad foods, don't taste as good...that's a good thing I guess?

Too funny Tink!!

15 !! thats great Tink!!

I think I found yours too

(Message edited by kristi_tn on February 6, 2009)

Tink, that is too funny! Ask the kids about the cockroach at Quizno's, yep never gonna eat there again!

winner selection on brickfish is nto strictly by the numbers . . . see http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/Common/RenderPDF.aspx?nb=1&ContentURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.brickfish.com%2fPages%2fComps%2fRules%2fRules.aspx%3fgpid%3d413%26docnum%3d1%26r%3d0.884212731329823%26lcid%3d1033&spn=1 page 5 and 6

and I don't think the tally gets updated immediately automatically every time people vote either I think if your compare the numbers for the top three the only place first place exceeds the others is # of views. Keep voting! I am hoping PS has a very good chance. http://denisekacavas.com/

Tink!
Congratulations on the minus 15. Yes, after you've been off the "bad" stuff for a while it just doesn't taste as good as it used to. I gave up candy once years ago, and after months of being off of the stuff I tried M&M's and they were totally gross! (or were they W&W's)
My weakness is carbs.

RA - Double Yucko on the roach story.

(Message edited by tlraz on February 6, 2009)

HA! I just watched the video. That weather dude screamed like a girly man.

Tink, that's funny stuff...are all Florida people that afraid of cockroaches? Good work on the diet!

RA, lalalalala I can't hear you...I love Quizno's!

Morning!!!

You'd think Florida peeps would be used to bugs... there's some bigguns down there!!!

Cynde!!!! 15#s is awesome!!!!! Bonaire was just the ticket. They could start a whole new tourism campaign

Linda thanks for the reminder about the Challenge emails - I haven't sent one out in a while. I am loving it too! I did 14, 18, 14, 14, and 20 this morning - my back is getting so strong!

Debbie one more wake up!!!!

PS, Brian and Denise --- I voted a bunch with Brian's method using Internet Explorer. I'll do more with Firefox.

Hi Tara, I did 2 sets of 100 sit-ups (crunches) and 30,30,30,10 on push-ups. All that with Ashlee's figure 8's around my arms. Geesh! But it makes me smile so... I appreciate you initiating the challenge. It has helped me refocus on my goal for our trip in May.


(Message edited by tlraz on February 6, 2009)

Good For You LINDA!!!! I'm so glad that it helped

gosh Linda. that is AWESOME!!
You go girl...those push ups KILL me..!!!

PegiSue...your results should be in, have you called??
Have you heard??

Inquiring minds want to know...Hope your OK

KRISPI, I HEAR YOU GIRL!! THOSE ARM CURLS ARE DOING ME IN ALSO...........

And on this note.

that would be MY cat

PATRICK!!..I KNOW!!

WHEW...

hehe

Brad, don't do it!!!!


CyndeTink, congratulations on the 15lb loss, that's awesome!

PegiSue is at number two, I have just found something that might help PM coming soon

Linda, wow! I'm envious! I've got to get back in that mode myself.

Good thing I don't have to fit through a kitty-door! But man, was that barstool snug last night.

RA, I gotta...mmmmmm TOASTY!

Alright.....but don't say I didn't warn you!!!!!!

I have to say that my push-ups are the knee kind. My toe is still broken.

Cecil, I saw that picture the other day on Icanhascheez.... Reminded me of one of my cats from yester year. He was BIG.

Okay, Rajan is home sick and we are sitting here watching cartoons. We are watching a show called "Chowder", one of the characters lives in a house that looks just like a bong!!! I only know this because of Michael Phelps of course. What message are they sending our kids??? It even has smoke coming out of the "chimney"!!!


Yes, I am still watching it, it's pretty funny!

voting....voting....voting

WOW, RA!!
OK, this supports my attitude about TV shows...

Patrick...when I shop I get my curls in...hehe

WHEW, I am beat...

Just sent another PM about PS, please read before you vote this looks to be a big help.

Careful what you post about PS as other entrants might see.

Cynde well done, that's about a whole arm!!

We are meeting Holly's owner tomorrow and hopefully she will honour her verbal agreement that she is ours. Yahoooo.

Have a great weekend

Of course Rajan has no idea, The character Chowder, owns a restaurant and is giving cooking lessons and customer service lessons, thats all he sees.

BlueHarley: Thanks for the great Open Road video link.

Tink - the cockroach weatherman vid was great.

Brian ---- how exciting!!!!! Keeping fingers crossed and breath held till it's official

I'm waiting to hear from the vet to see if Rasta's amylase levels have decreased. If they haven't I really don't want to have to go on an exploratory test-junkett trying to figure out why. Not sure my wallet can handle that right now.

RA --- how's hamster duty? Everything okay?

It is raining, raining, raining here and boy do we need it.

Hey Boom! It didn't go as bad as I expected but sad. We are planning on adopting a kitty from the shelter this weekend, we may try fostering first to make sure our Kitty is okay with the idea. I think she will be fine, she's pretty nurturing.

It's raining here too, which really is wonderful since we are almost in drought conditions already.

Rajan is still sick, we have a 4pm Dr. appt. he has had a fever for 3 days and I don't like that.

Sounds great for the kitty and your family
Let us know how Rajan is .... poor baby.

I heard that there is 30% lower snow-pack this year for the 3rd year in a row.... that's not good at all.

Brian, Good luck with Holly's original owners (you are her real parents!)

Krispi, Brad, I like your arm curl exercise. Beer and shopping.

Speaking of shopping, where's Kobi? She would be so proud of me today. I bought a strobe, arms and camera tray for my camera and housing. I can't wait to play with it.

RA, Congratulations on adopting/fostering a shelter kitty.

Hugs to Rajan.

happy weekend y'all!

Boom, sorry to hear about Rasta, I hope it clears up. I know what you mean about Vet bills Paddy snapped the nail on his dew claw this afternoon £100, luckily he is insured at we will get £50 back. RA we hope the kitty settles in and all your dear ones are better soon.

Linda practice with the new strobe and your camera before you get underwater. Nothing worse than task loading when you are diving.

Cheers all we are settling down for the night.

Bye Krispi
Cheers Brian

Brian, I will do that, and may ask for your advise on how to use my new toy - the strobe. A few of our local dive shops have pools for classes. I may mooch some pool time.
Poor Paddy's toe!!!

Got to run. Time for pizza!

Bye Krispi!

RA, I hope Rajan is well!

Wine Time.






Click!

Cheers Jerry!

Me too, I'm off...

Wow! Sure is quiet without PS and Kobi

Man these guys are good.

Cecil:

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!

OMG they are good..!!!

Linda, I also visited a HD dealer this morning, the one on 192 No way around it, Vixen is being traded towards a H.D...... when the snow melts. MELT SNOW - MELTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! (Think "Run Forrest - Run")

Oh well, another lovely trip to Florida comes to an end. Guess I can put away the ice skates until next year

Had a little trouble on the tram between security and the gates... Numa Numa came on the p.a. system and there was a pole beside me. Poor, poor Katie ROTFLMAO, ahem - SNORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom - thinking of a Harley I see. Good choice. What model? I ride an 05 Heritage Softail Classic. Also am waiting for snow to melt. Sunday and Monday coming up look to be in the 50's here with most snow gone, little chance of rain, so............... RIDING TIME before weather closes in again.

Oh you guys - bike talk. I have no knowledge to contribute. But I am wishing Tom, Pam, and Katie a safe journrey home.

OMG, I have to get up at 4:30 am to take my Aunt Tink to West Palm Beach to see her son and grandson. He's almost a year old, and she hasn't seen him since 2 months. Handy isn't it, having a niece who's always been part of your life, living right in the middle. We have had such fun, and even went to the beach in boots! Now FL weather is back, so we're sweating. Which is good.

My Aunt appreciates so much, that I invited her here. We've had such fun and have danced and toasted and got toasted! lol I so needed this, too. It's been great.

Road trip tomorrow, to West Palm Beach and back.



Beach and babies. Can't wait, esp for the road trip and all we'll talk about and just uhmmmm family is so great and how long it will take. Hand bump to you all. Supposed to be 80 tomorrow. I love that. Finally, crossing over the barrier, I needed my dad's sister, my fav aunt to help me do this, a final part of my recovery. She's awesome.
.

xx

TOM!!!!!!!!!!! you are going to scar those kids for life!

Kathy, glad you had a nice visit with your aunt, I will say i had to laugh at "Aunt Tink"

Gail, YGM

Thanks Gail, Pam, Katie and I arrived home, safe and sound. Nice to once again be with my boy Benny, my doggies and my cats Life is good.

Kathy, Enjoy!!!

Dan, 09 Road King Classic, unless I find a left over 08 Electra Glide Classic at a killer deal.

R.A., isn't that what I am supposed to do?

Hi Freddie, how is your "n" doing Need bubblegum? ROTFLMAO!!!
