Fight Procrastination Day (Do it Now!)

Nah, I'm worry about that tomorrow! Today we party!

Happy Birthday to Cynde Lee, Cecil and Peter Rabbit!

Story was written by Beatrix Potter. She sent it in a get-well letter to 5-year-old Noel Moore, 1893.

We can see the cam buoy today:

Morning Rusty! Happy birthday Cynde and Cecil!

The 30-daze to Bonaire countdown officiallys starts today!

3-2-1 and we have lift-off, Glenn!

Had a nice little Sergeant Major earlier and a parrotfish:

I was just starting to post and I froze up. Grrr.

Here's a French Angel, a (please tell me which) Striped or Princess Parrotfish, and a loose dog!

Thanks for your help. Let's see if this works. No luck yet with the non-animated words. Annie B.

Annie, let me go and see if they changed things over there....

My guess is a princess Rusty. Here it is again..

Glenn, that's what Jake called it, too - I just can't find a picture in Humann's book that looks like that with a stripe thru the eye and we see her all the time! That's a pretty close-up. I usedta call it the translucent fish. LOL

Annie, I can't seem to get the Flamers to respond with a non-animated text right now. Their generator must be down or something. Weird.

Step forward and be identified!

Thanks again Rusty. Something must have happened because I never used to have all this trouble. Everyone here is blamin meeeeeee!
See if this one works.

Looks like you have a winner there Annie, congrats!

Annie - that's pretty! I love sunflowers, we have a bunch of volunteers here in the yard from the birdseed spillage. Some are flowering at only a foot tall!

Glenn, isn't 9:32 our coney - the light version?

Is this a rainbow parrot or two fishes side by side?

That's what I was thinking Rusty. The body is definitely coney, but I hadn't seen them in different phases yet. Can you tell what phase that is?

Um, the light phase? LOL Humann says Bicolor Variation (upper dark, lower pale). Finally a picture that looks like the cam pic!

Off to work now. Seeeezee ya later. Hi Glenn, Bye Glenn. Annie B.

Glen, okay, so this isn't a phase, it's a color variation. Now I get it. I wasn't thinking for a minute that there's a difference.

Let's go shore diving!

Well, I'm out the door right behind Annie today. Off to lunch here with Dad. Since our favorite Chinese restaurant (Debbie Wong's) is relocating and hasn't reopened yet, we're heading to Hu Ke Lau. Our family has been going there since I was a mere child. Their lunch specials are SPECIAL! LOL

Catch us all some great pix, Glenn and company!

Hi All,


Happy birthday Cynde and Cecil!

Have a great day,

Oh. Oh. I'm failing........ Well maybe tomorrow I'll be better at "fighting"!!



Bill

Lurking octo?

Wow! Nice one!

No Octo!!!

Goofing off too Glenn?


Bill

Fishies in the warm ocean! Want to be there!!!

\image{pic}

Hmmm...... try again

Sleepyhead. Reminds me.... Nap time!

Hi Bill! Yeah, I'm goofing off in-between tasks at work. Gotta keep my sanity during the day

Group picture.

Hi guys! Just got home. Had a luscious shrimps in garlic sauce and flied lice for runch. Then stopped and bought a ton of fruit and veggies at the market. It's a Spanish market and lots of the foods are alien - like who eats squid packed in ink? Printers?

My Dad and I stood there looking at these two foot long aloe vera leaves. I'm not sure if you are supposed to eat them or fence with them. So we fenced! En garde!

And there were these itty-bitty little bananas no longer than my little finger. I swear they were too young to be away from their mama!

In one corner they sell MSG in 5 gallon buckets! They also carry *ethnic* foods like Polish Ogorkis and Italian Gardiniera. So we got some of those, too.

Felt like I was at Epcot Center. LOL



Picture of the Day goes to...

It's a tie, folks, Glenn and Bill! Excellent stoplight, dudes.

Hey, getting dark out front. Must be, wait for it, 5 o'clock shadow!

hi all, i gave you all a big thanks on martin's birthday thread! thank you here too for the great birthday wishes!!!

here is my really messy cube with the great decorations my co-workers decorated up for me...you can't see them but i even got purple frosted cupcakes!!!...again, never mind the mess! i have a LOT of work to do!

Looky, I gotcha a fish wish-ing you Happy Birthday, Cynde Lee!

Wow! My first P.O.D. Thanks Rusty!

Cynde, how come I don't see www.oldbonairetalk.com up on your monitor? Your coworkers did great with the decorations and once again, Happy Birthday!

Here comes the sunset, and I say, it's alright:

You deserve it, Glenn - awesome fishy and such brilliant colors.

You know - we have SO many good pix now of the local denizens of the deep - we should help Jake and Linda make a fish guide to species seen on the cam. I know when I first came here a year ago I must have looked at the *best of* page with the squids and the tangs and the divers a dozen or more times. Couldn't get over all the good pictures!

Hiya Everyone
I just got back from working - planning meeting all afternoon for a course I am running this weekend, and then seeing clients, and then running the group. First time in the larger group room!! And it was fine. Yes, the room is not finished, and it lacks something - at the moment. And I'll get it right before long. I'm sure I will.

Tomorrow I am going to open the last 10 days post and look at the photos I collected last Thursday of my grandchildren and I. And do some work too, on the course.

These sunsets are amazing

Hi Rusty, Hi Glenn

Doh!!! got somehting wrong there.

try again

Hi Rusty, Hi Glenn

Okay Cynde, I'll have one little slice, thank you. I love the cubicle decorations. I'd leave them up year round, if I were you. What a nice bunch you work with!

Gotta go. Am falling asleep - already!!!

Been a turbulent and mithering day. The rest of my life is going up.

Night Night

Jenni, sweet dreams! It'll all slow down soon enough.

Hi gang, It's taken me so long to catch up reading all you messages, now I have forgotten what I was goin' to say.

Cynde, Looks like you had a jolly birthday, hope you enjoyed your day. Annie B.

Hi Annie! We stole your Annie sig with the sunflowers today at my Dad's. He has a dear sister-in-law named Annie and we wanted to send it along to her. Sure it made her day!

He and I are both sunflower fans, he grows them every year and then I bring some of the heads home to dry for our cockatiels and parakeets. We put the whole big heads, one at a time, into the aviary and all the birds pick at them for days.

great sunsets gang...rusty, i told my boss i was leaving the fishies up for a while! they all took me to lunch down at the dana point harbor:-)...oh, and michael dropped by some gorgeous purple flowers while i was gone...such a sweatheart!

Rusty, You are most welcome. I quite like sunflowers too. I grew some once and fed the seeds to my Senegal parrot that I used to have. He loved them. If the truth is known, you will probably see some gifs being posted in the future that I have stolen myself.Some of them maybe yours. Annie B.

Annie, time for me to bail out on this party. LOL BoxerBob is playing pinochle online and I'm slowing his connection.



You all have a pleasant night and we'll catch you on the flipside!

See ya Rusty, I only just realised it's half past tomorrow for me too. Night Night. Annie B.

Rusty, just curious -- is the Hu Ke Lau that you're talking about in Pittsfield? If so, it's the same restaurant that Dan's father calls the "Hu Ke Lousy"! I've never eaten there, but nobody in Dan's family will go there, based on how bad it used to be when he was a kid...

Jenni, I like this word "mithering"! I'm having to hunt for a meaning for it, though -- the Merriam-Webster online dictionary didn't recognize it! It's obviously a perfectly good word, though, given how many hits I'm finding on Yahoo for it. I especially like the recipe for the drink, the "Mithering B*stard"! According to SotallyTober.com (love that site name), the recipe for one of these is 1 1/2 ounces of blended Scotch, 1 ounce dry vermouth, 1 ounce orange juice. Shake with ice, serve on the rocks. So thanks, I've learned a new word!

Faith

Hi Faith! I don't know if the Pittsfield Hu Ke Lau is associated with the two local ones - we have one in Chicopee and one in Longmeadow. Do you know if the the *lousy* one has comedy shows on the weekends with some national *talent* coming by for shows? I've never seen one, but there are always lots of people waiting in line for a table on Saturday night.

I, too, thought *mithering* a wonderful word. Just to the right of dithering ang blithering!

Rusty, I don't know if the Pittsfield one does comedy -- it's been a bit too long since I've even been by there. And according to Jenni, mithering has a long 'i' at the beginning -- MYthering! So I guess I was dithering and blithering when I thought it would rhyme with those two...
