Good morning! I missed all of u...
At the office the workload went through the roof last week. I've been working way 2 much and have been recovering last weekend. There was no time 2 check in here...
But now I'm back

Good Morning Igor! Welcome back, I know what it is like to be busy and not check. Most of the action happens during the day when I am working and then I am usually late for the evening. But you are coming back to a brand new and improved BT! Anyway, I'm off to work, have a great day everyone!

Welcome back, it's always a joy to have you chat with us. We know you're here in spirit even when W*RK intereferes with your real life!

You caught one doggy, I caught the other. Wonder where Mandy the kat is at?



So what will it be today??

Mozart Day
Activity Professionals Day
Chocolate Cake Day
Thomas Crapper Day (again?)
Better Business Communication Day
Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day
Holocaust Memorial Day (UK)

Jeez, Jake that 2 minutes is way too fast. By the time my itty bitty dial-up connection let me *proof* the message posted it was already too late to edit the *interferes* above.

Good morning!

-6F in Indianapolis this morning...how is everyone?

Stay Warm!

Sally

Sally - that's a big 10-4 to Indianapolis. It's snowy here in Massachusetts - had a couple light fluffy inches overnight and we're looking at -7F overnight. Waah. I haven't been out of the house in weeks. I am such a wimp in the winter.

Can't wait to Hoodie-Hoo winter away...

We had a nice dusting in NYC as well, Rusty.
I have had about enough of winter myself. Going home late Saturday night the NYCFD Thaw unit was out on west 52nd st.,in a little box truck, keeping the mains open. Firemen have had to empty the water out of the pumpers at a lot of the city firehouses becausse they have no heat.
Of course the theater was hot as blazes last night.

The NYCFD are jacks of all trades, putting out fires and warming the pipes!



I loved visiting NYC when I was a kid - with Dadz working on the railroad we had free passes to everywhere in the Northeast. We'd chug down to Chinatown for lunch and occasionally visit the AMNH and be home in the evening. Ah, the good old days.

Good Morning Everyone... wow, so this is the Community Chat area. I always lurk/post on the webcams thread and don't normally venture over this way. Anyway, take a look at the attached diving related news story from the Des Moines Register. It will make you think twice about ice diving.

Michael

Ice Diving

Well Well Well So this is the new BT. Not sure what I think, and don;t know if anything is about to happen as I post.
So here goes....

Good Morning or rather Good Afternoon Everyone


My course this weekend was superb. I really enjoyed it, tho' feeling a little tired after dancing last night as well.

Off now to my Pilates class
See you all later

Hi Michael. This is where the undisciplined cammers hang out. Jake made a special playpen just for us! Welcome.

Jenni! Burn a few for me, honey!

Rusty, why are you a Supreme BTer, and Igot is an Extraordinary BTer, as is Eileen, and I am merely a New BT Poster???

I'm confused. I feel like a peasant around royalty

Michael,
I think I will stay above the ICE. Scary....
Ida

Hello everybody. Home nice and early today. Everything is going well so far. Tomorrow will be different though. Our Firemen are going on a 48 hour strike, so for the next two days we cannot travel all the way on the tube, we will have a long walk ahead of us now.

Jenni,

You have a lot more post than I. Seems like you should be up there with the supremes....

Ida

Yeh, Ida, I can't work it out either. Mayvbe it just starts from the new BT. And I have only come on today????

Anyway yes, I will burn some for you Rusty, and everyone else who wants...

love to all

Jenni, Stop blubberin' gal. It says you are an experienced bonaire talker.

Hi Gang,
here this morning with the wind chill...
Not so sure I like the gray backgrounds with the gifs....
Gosh it looks like it is snowing in Bonaire..

Maybe the BT Poobah took pity on poor Jenni and boosted her. Bet it logs you into the new BT the first time around. Or not. LOL

It seems to bounce you up one level with each post from newbie until you reach your proper level Jenni

Jenni,

Every time you post now, the discussion board compares your current level with what's needed to achieve the level of rank, and if you qualify, it bumps up your ranking for your next post. So, in one thread you've gone from New BonaireTalker to Experienced in just 4 posts :-)

(Even though you should have been listed as Experienced to start with though - strange quirk, but it works itself out in time.)

Jake

Ah, Seb - you are so analytical. (A great line from The Big Chill, apropos of the weather!)

Uh, it does detract from the beauty (??) of the artistic presentation.

Just thought I would mention that we have a nice sunny warm day here at the moment. Annie B.

Well I must say it kind of contains the little buggers.. looks as if they are in a room by themselves and not as FREE as they used to be.

Annie B...it's nice here too! 70's expected today...R & K

I don't remember even seeing a box around them before on the white????

Freddie, gifs with white as their background color posted in a white message box would look as if they were transparent. I have no way of checking this from the gif thumbnails in PSP until I post, though.

Rootie, check out my above post.. even on the white there is a ROOM...

Freddie, I agree. The presentation doesn't look right on the grey. I think the gifs have to be saved with a transparent background to post them on the grey. With the thousands we collected already that would be impossible to change them all.Annie B.

Rusty. GMTA.

So, do tell, why would a firemen's stirke effect only part of your tube ride?

I don't think we are in Kansas anymore Toto...

Just look at those *Supremes*.

I see what you mean, Freddie - even the *white* isn't really a white shading in the message box - it's light grey.



Annie - only *thousands*?? LOL

International relations?

Good Morning everyone!
Started off the day at -32C, hopefully things will warm up soon!
Good job I have the beachcams to look at.....
Have a great day, all!

Jill, you win the Coldest Spot on BT today, I bet.

Hey isn't that Marc and Kitty????

Rusty, They have to close all stations that use lifts, sorry, (elevators) which transport passengers up to the outside world again. I hope this explains it a bit better. Annie B.

yes I do believe that is Marc and Kitty here is his profile..

Hi you two!!!!! Hope everything is going great with your new everything!!!

Fweddie - you are the brightest porchlight on the street, methinks. That has to be him - even the glasses on the chrome dome pose is the same!



Whatcha say we jump to a new thread, Fred? I'll start...

go for it!!!
