PANCAKES PLEASE PATRICK!! GOOD MORNING!

Long weekend ahead! (Ours was bizarre as it fell in the middle of the week...)

How well do I understand that statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOY OH BOY IS IT QUITE ON HERE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO ANYBODY OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm here Patrick - though I can't hear you - my kids are yelling too loud this morning...

AAAAAAHHHHH THE SOUND OF LITTLE ONES RUNNING THROUGH THE HOUSE. DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN THERE PATH........... BOY I'M GLAD THAT DAY IS OVER FOR ME....LOL

gooooood morning EILEEN and PATRICK

Happy 4th of July week~ all BT'ER's

I would love to come down and celebrate with everyone! Good Morning Michelle!

Patrick - not only is there pure destruction - but the boys being boys and Quinn learning so much in Kindergarten the past year - it all about 'all things DEAD', as in 'it's dead', 'he's dead', 'step on the bug mom and dead it' and 'mom, is it dead?'.

Lovely.

I am sure the language skills will just improve over time from hereonin - right?........

It's dead.

Good Morning PATRICK, Eileen, Michelle and all to follow.

Did you ever notice it's the Red Shirts that always die?

Good Morning Linda not wearing a red shirt today - it's pink.

Hi All from a wet UK but at least the temperature is dropping. It has been really hot, nice but not good for our furry friends. One example is two police dogs dying in a police van yesterday, I hope the officer is prosecuted.

OMG Brian that is horrible !!!! Those poor dogs!

Brian~~ LOVE your Queen Angel on your profile !!

Good morning Brian.
What the heck is wrong with that officer?

Hi Eileen. Are the kidletts up yet?

Michelle, I saw the picture you posted last night of your grad daughter, son?, and ezel. Nice!


Looks like a lot of shouting going on this morning.

THANKS FOR THE CALL YESTERDAY PATRICK. I WILL RE-THINK MY DIVE GEAR NEEDS. Actually all I need is a dive trip. Can't dive here after all the rain we've had and will be getting. The Gulf is probably a mess.

Terry called last night from Murphy TN. He and Larry stopped somewhere in north Florida Wednesday night, and drove straight thru the next day till they reached Murphy. They have a buddy there who rides, too. Anyway, they made it there in time for a late afternoon/evening ride in the mountains.

It's dead.

Oohhhh, the kids have been up for awhile.......

Brian - how awful .

Still breathing Linda.

Hey Everybody, I slept in today, was nice to do that! Well, been up a hour only.

I got pictures to share! Tiffany, my daughter, has just finished a course at CIEE on Bonaire and they posted some pictures on their website. Here they are: http://www.cieebonaire.org/semester.html
Tiffany did the second session, so her pictures start half way down where second session pics are, she is the one with red shorts and a nice one of her dissembling her gear and group photo came out nice too at the end. WooHoo! Proud of you Tiffany!

Linda~~ thanks. Yes, that is my son, Ben. Hailey

my beautiful granddaughter and last but

DEFINATELY not least good ole' FRED !!!!

Morning Debbie glad you were able to catch a few

more ZZZZZZZZ'S!!

I'm going in late today..doing some work from

home and multi tasking....isin't that the only

way to get caught up??!!

Fred is cute.

Morning Debbie! Now I'm going to see your pictures.

Wonderful Debbie!!!

OK, I am off for a bit .

Debbie, You're not going to believe this. I met one of the girls in Tiffany's class. She, Becca, and her father were on the Aggressor in Palau with us.

That's Becca on the far right.

Cute girl~~she looks like she's having fun! What

a small world. It's amazing the places we see

people who we have met in other areas of the

world! CRAZY....but good!

Michelle, Yes it is a small world. Those kids looked like they had fun, but still learned a lot.

I have to take Safety Training Test.

Poof for a while.

Good morning everyone!!!

Wonderful ride into work this morning - life is GREAT!!!

Enjoyed the pics posted this morning and last night.

Hope to get back soon - CYA POOF!!!

Eileen, you'll miss that noise one day. Then, when you kids are going "GEEEEEEEEEESH!!" you'll laugh

Linda, that class is easy:
1. acquire target
2. click safety to "off"
3. eliminate target
4. click safety to "on" unless another target is spotted or anticipated.

Linda, wow, small world, Tiffany is the third gal in from the right on that pic above.

Tom - I keep forgetting (for perhaps good reason) that they will dating one day - not until 40 (I've upped the age limit - I am so strict LOL - not!!)

How is Pam enjoying her license? Joel has his and owned a bike - don't laugh I want to go for it now too (probably in a few yrs - BT has quite the influence... but must get diving first.)

Morning all! Debbie...did you get my email? Glad you found Tiffany's photos. I saw them yesterday.

Brian...here, the police dogs are considered officers and perps can be charged as assault on an officer if they harm a dog. I hope they take the dog's as seriously in the UK.

Howdy everyone else! I can't believe how long these threads get.

Tribs, yes, got it, will be in touch soon. Gregg has off work today.

Look at what we saw this morning.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend, we are off to do family fun stuff. We will see a baseball game tonight and fireworks and then who knows what!

Pole dancing?

I love pole dancing.

Happy Weekend everyone

Jerry, that is gorgeous!


linda~ was your daughter in a marine biology program on Bon?

Morning all.

Nice pic Jerry, but I don't see the pole dancer coming out of the water...where is he?

Nice pics Debbie! She done good!

CAN YOU SAY CAT FIGHT??!!

Michelle, No. That was a young lady I met on our trip to Palau. She and her father were on the Palau Aggressor the same week we were. Both of them were fun loving wonderful people.

Hey Ruth~~~ hope your recouping quickly...I KNOW

you will enjoy BON'!!!!!

Thanks Michelle, that is all Ken keeps saying...that I need to take care and get better so that I can dive in 23 days. I NEVER would have had this surgery before going away if I had known it was going to give me this much trouble!

Jerry, thanks for the video! BRB, going out for a smoke.

Me too.

Maybe doc can give you some ideas on faster

healing, ROM etc.... some PT..if not too soon

after surgery.....just a thought. I want you to

dive!!!

Gotta go to office and see pt.s everyone have a

GREAT day !!

It's dead.

I've been abandoned here at work. All the salaried people took off.

Well I guess I can take that much needed nap now.

AC just went on Yes sir, it be hot now....

Those two need to get into the jello ring!

Morning all, red shirts, cat fights and all. I saw a car yesterday with this on the side:
OC Pole Dancing Fitness I tried to get a look at the driver, she was a cute blonde...go figure eh?

Linda, if none of the salaried peeps are there, go home!

Yesterday I FINALLY framed two art pieces from Linda Richter, only took me four years! I'll post pics, I am so happy with them now that they are finally up...lol!

Flamingo Sunset

and

Koi in Blue

We are off to launch the sea poo and tie it up to the back of the boat for the weekend...back still hurting so I'm not sure how much sea poo play I'll get...stupid back...

Debbie, congrats to Tiffany, you must be very proud!

Just got back from going to do a job I had cancelled yesterday for today. Get there, and he totally forgot I was coming. 2nd time in less that 48 hours. Oh Boy! So, I just smiled, said see ya in two weeks and left. Did another job that I was going to do tonight, the co. was off for the 4th, so got in early and got the job done.

Sunny and nice outside here, hope everyone is out and about enjoying the sunshine!

Tink, those are beautiful prints! Can't wait to see them framed. Take care of that back, but do some more matt dances just for fun.

I think you're right. I'm going to split - like a banana.

See you all later in the weekend.

Thanks for the congrats for Tiffany, I am very proud, yes siree.

I like Jello and rings (cuz rings are round and stuff).

Just received news that Bryan and Mark of True North Construction (built our new house) have been recognized for their energy efficient construction practices

http://businesspeoplevermont.com/2009/07-jul/true_north.html

Hell, all we wanted was a solid constructed house, getting a 5 Star Plus rating was a bonus. Have to admit tho, it is nice paying less to heat 3,600 sq ft than it used to cost to heat our 950 square ft ranch.

DEBBIE, THHHHHHHHHHHHPPPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT TO YOU AND YOUR SUNSHINE. ahem, sorry. Well, I still feel like saying lah dee dah tho. We have been having strong thunderstorms most of the day and I am finally all alone. Time to crank the tunes and practice with the throwing knives Waiting till six to ride home, probably in the rain.

Shampoo - check

Conditioner - check

TIFFANY, HAVE YOU GONE FOR YOUR SCOOTER RIDE YET?!?!

Here is one of my art works, it gets everyone's attention when they walk by.


(Message edited by bonaire9 on July 3, 2009)

Jerry, I had a similar piece of art hanging from the ceiling of my van. What a mood setter.

Tom, what's with the double post, hiccup?

Tom, next time you come south I'll let you touch it.

Tom you're stuttering

TIFFANY - double YEAH!!!! Way to go girl!!!

MORNING BT!! I'm having a nice day so far --- the sun is shining, Jon Bon Jovi is playing it real on the outdoor speakers, Rasta is up and moving ... only thing missing is hubby. He's on till 8pm today and tomorrow - hoping he'll at least get some good flights in.

Jerry, do you think you'll have a Velvet MJ to go with that art?

Tinkers watch your back

Tom, the mother looks like she's gonna take a chunk outta ya.... better be careful tonight if they come back

how is everyone? I haven't been here in a long time.

Tara, she was mad for sure. I am glad you see that, Pam thinks I was making the whole thing up.

Hi V.E.L.

Hi Tom, how are you doing?

FWIW Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday she is resigning from office at the end of the month, raising speculation that she would focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race.

I'm wet, how are you doing.

Ken, is she going to take a remedial geography class first?

Tara, what food did you have with it?

She has nice teeth!

lol don't tease me Tom
gee whiz Jerry doesn't even say hi
he must be very busy selling valve caps

Jerry, we started with an appetizer of bbq mini hotdogs, main course was brauts cooked in beer, warmed Green Giant Green Beans (french style of course) slathered in a garlic "I can't believe it's not butter" blend and seasoned tator tots artfully arranged on plates that had been drizzled with a French's Mustard reduction sauce. Dessert was warmed moon pies with M&M's melted onto their tops. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OMG!!! I am so excited!!!! I am online w/ TWO computers!!!!


I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome home, PS!

Gosh, I've had no internet for so long I don't know where to start!!! Well, I came to BT first. Next...mail? Blog? WHAT NOW?????

well, you certainly have your priorities right

I managed to get half of my yardwork done, one load of laundry and.... that's about it!!!

Time to put together a grocery list and brave the Albertsons. Hot Dogs for Guy, Turkey Burgers for me

Quiet day here. Boys helped get the room ready for my MIL who Ken will be picking up tomorrow. She turns 91 on Monday, so hopefully the kids can make it over here for a bbq on Sunday.

I've been playing taskmaster all day, so the boys were grateful when it was time to go to the other house for the weekend.

Still have a few things left to do. They'll either get done or not. Mom will just have to put up with what mess is left.

Hi PS! Glad to see you back at the keyboard again!

Y'all had TOOOOOO much fun today! I hate

picking up on the posts at the end of the

day...I always feel left out *sniffle sniffle**

Aww, Michelle! You're not left out...just get the party started again! LOL...
