The New Ka-Tet Cantina

[Becks19]

Mookie- thank you for sharing your daughter's photo. It is very beautiful! I think it provides the serenity, beauty, and peace of mind we all need right now. Your daughter is quite talented, BTW!


Dustin, Thank you for your kind words. It is a beautiful picture, taken by an extremely precocious 9 year old.:smile2:

[mstay]

It's acted ugly to me twice today. Both times I had written a reply and hit the "post" button and it asked if I wanted to leave the page (without posting) and I clicked no, stay on this page. I hit the "post" button again and it took. Strangeness :oo:

It did that to me too. I thought it was just my stupid computer.

Dustin, Thank you for your kind words. It is a beautiful picture, taken by an extremely precocious 9 year old.:smile2:

Wow, she may have some serious talent brewing there! That's amazing!

[Becks19]

Wow, she may have some serious talent brewing there! That's amazing!

She has had a lot of practice. She took 153 pictures the first day she got the camera for Christmas!! She has been photographing literally everything!! I'll let her know how much everyone liked her picture....she will be overjoyed.

You are very welcome, Mookie.

I'm just amazed that a 9-year-old took this stunning photo!

Hope all have a safe and wonderful weekend.
Please be well and take care my friends!!

[gniknehpets]

Mookie that picture gave me goosebumps too! The more I stared at it the more I smiled and smiled. It's like she captured joy.

Could we have a new angel playing tricks with the board today?

[Srbo]

Oh wow...a new Cantina.
No offense, Mookie, almost make me wanna cry...
The old one was something like John`s legacy to us...
Hope you`ll all have a great week. Love and green lights.

[Cowboy]

Loved the picture Mookie, put that kid to work! :biggrin2: Hope all is well. I'm grabbing a green tea and having a seat to read the classifieds. Have a great week friends.

[Gallina]

Good morning to all! A very good picture Mookie, beautiful nature!:smile2:

...one with a halo tipped at a rakish angle-and a mischievous grin? I tend to agree...

It was actually Jordan who started this new one (I need to know how he was able to do that with Mookie's post! :smile2:) The file for the old one had gotten so big that it was causing problems with the Board's performance.

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all, and the start of a new week and a new Cantina. It's still the same enjoyable place to meet, just expanded to accommodate the ever growing Ka-Tet.
Hope everyone had a safe weekend.
Herbal tea in hand and off the bean bag central..... all are welcome to join.

Yeh, I noticed Jordan had changed it over at the weekend, along with "The Theme Song" thread. I was a little saddened at first to see JD's name now gone, but at least people can always look at the old one if they need to. I understand why Jordan closed those threads, they were HUGE, and I've noticed myself the last couple of weeks the site has been running extremely slow. Sometimes a good spring clean is needed to freshen up the place.

Have a good week, everybody.

I will miss seeing the posts from John as well...
However, John himself always said that everything changes, and it is up
to us to have to open mind to change as well, or we become stagnant.....

I love you Srbo, and I understand what you're saying.
Please know that I'm not meaning to dis you here....
just reminding you that John would be the first to welcome a new Cantina

Dear Srbo, It did make me cry. In my eyes it just isn't right. John started the Cantina, it should be his name up there not mine. In fact, I was going to pm Ms.Mod and ask her if it couldn't be The Ka- Tet Cantina continued by John Dalglish? Ms.Mod could you ask Jordan to work some of his magic?

I'll look into it.

[Moderator]

JMO but I think it's better to leave as is. I'd like to consider the old cantina retired in John's memory and this one a new page turned. I think John would like the idea of a new beginning, too.

[Moderator]

And actually, John didn't start the original cantina either but he did open it on vBulletin from the old, old board where someone else (Lepplady?) had started it.

I'm in full agreement with this, sad though it may be.

[Becks19]

Then in honor of John, a new beginning it shall be. Thank you Ms.Mod. Hugs to all of you.

[Sundrop]

You're right.....And John's in first post, he made sure to let everyone know that it was Lepplady's original post ♥

[ConstantReader1973]

Good morning, all. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I shall have a quick hot cocoa, then off to work!

((((Kat-tet))))

[cat in a bag]

John's picture is still up there over the bar, he will watch over us always.

I have a lot of catching up to do, the kids completely destroyed 3 rooms of my house this weekend, there are toys everywhere. They started in their room, moved to the living room, and then moved on to big brother's room. Trains, dolls, cars, legos...can I get some volunteers to help? :laugh: Ah, well. They had a good time, used their imaginations and there was minimal fighting!

So, I will have a cup of coffee and wish you all a good week. May it bring peace and healing. Love you all!

[J.T. Adams]

Water for me (glass)

Water for Cujo (bowl)

(((((The Ka-tet)))))

Long days and pleasant nights . . .

[Srbo]

Of course I`m not gonna think you are dissing me, Sunny.
Well, lets move on then...every new beginning is somewhat difficult, but has to be done nevertheless.

Once again, have a great week, my friends.

[Jojo87]

Hope all had a safe and wonderful weekend!!
I've been reading a lot this weekend and finished Salem's Lot.
Weather has turned out to be cold now. On Saturday we had -15C today it's been pretty cold again.
And since weather was great yesterday I'd decided to go out and ski. Did a long ski trip.
So lot's have been done this weekend for me.
Hope all is feeling well.

((the Ka-tet))
((all in need or not))
Be well and take good care my friends.

[Srbo]

And I`m actually OK with "The Theme Song" thread being closed.
Every time lately when I click on it, my PC would freeze for about 10 minutes or so...so I had to stay out of it.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

A new Cantina? How lovely! Do we still have the beanbags? Cup of hot black coffee and a cinnamon roll, please. I've missed my morning meetings with you guys :love: (and my morning treats), and will try to come by here every weekday from now on.

[if-so-Grrl]

'Monday to you all. I can't quite bring myself to say "Happy Monday" - that's like saying "Good Morning." It just seems somehow wrong to me. I hope you all had a good weekend!

I was travelling this weekend - setting off once again for Seattle (my favorite city) for a briefing prior to heading back up to Alaska to work. (For those of you who don't know, I'm a biologist presently working on fishing boats in the Bering Sea.) I find the prospect of being up there in January a bit daunting, but also can't wait to get back to my job!

[CCAL]

theme song?? serves me right for keep laptop on mute....I never knew! Now I feel silly, but I feel like that often these days. Guess I'll belly up to the bar(counter) and have a beer (coffee). 0.o
((((tet mates!)))

It looks like everything is still here, except I think at least one of the bean bags has been slip-covered in leopard print. I'll take that one today.

I'll have a cup of spiced chai, please, with real whipped cream on top. Add a cheddar cheese biscuit, too.

I have a day off today, so I think I'll be catching up on a few things.

BRRRRRR!!! :eek2: But have fun! Sounds like an interesting job.

I like the new place. I think John would be happy with it too. And besides, remodeling is fun!

Have a good week everyone. :biggrin2:

[hipmamajen]

Aw, this is nice. I like the idea of retiring the old one in John's honor, even though that isn't exactly what happened. :)

[Sundrop]

Home from work early. Cold and rainy day in my neck of the woods.
Time for some hot cocoa and curling up with a good book....
Think I'll take a beanbag by the fireplace today... ♥

[Srbo]

ARE we all really OK?
I keep reading the MB almost the whole day today...everything seems all right ( more or less)...but it doesn`t feel all right...
Is it just me or...?

[randallFlaggfan1]

I can't quite bring myself to say "Happy Monday" - that's like saying "Good Morning."

Me, too, Annie... so I've settled for "Hi, everyone!"

As a Ka-Tet, I hope we are all healing, slowly but surely. It's already proven difficult, and I'm sure things will continue to be rough for some time to come, but I really do believe that we'll survive.
Actually, I've come to believe that as we comfort, guide, and grieve collectively, we shall grow even stronger. I know I've grown because of everyone's support and love.


Have a good day!


("All things serve the Beam")

I miss John's post here. You think about that Srbo right.

Brother, I can smile sometimes, but I still have moments where I just start crying again. We're all just starting to heal even though it's still not fully absorbed. Personally, I know it's going to take a while for everything to be normal for me. I want normal, but it will take time. I try to have normal anyways by coming in here. It feels kind of awkward to explain it this way, but it's how I'm coping.

I think you explained it perfectly, and I'm sure that's how must of us are feeling. :love:

[tower-obsession]

I feel like I have a permanent headache from all the crying I do. And this toothache which there seems to be no reason for...

Anyway, I think we all have a lot of healing to do, and it won't get done overnight.

Love and green lights,
Tawn

[Tery]

Hello Tet. :love:

[Debbie913]

Such a love-filled place to stop by. :) I hope everyone has a good week.

It's not just you. It seems all right on the surface but it's definitely different. I think that feeling will lessen as we continue to go on in our live here and elsewhere. What else can we do?

I was watching the end (I missed the rest of it) of "The Stand" on TV this weekend and all I could think of was John. I've seen it so many times that I didn't really need to pay attention to what was happening on screen so my mind just kept wandering away to think about what John would think of this or that.... And how we all talked about hating Molly Ringwald in that part. :biggrin2:

It also made me REALLY want to do a re-read of the Dark Tower books soon. Anyone else want to join?

[CCAL]

some things just take time. I have been trying to click thanks but it wont accept it so I'm gonna post. if that dont work you wont know I was here, so I'll just get off. lol

No pard, it's not just you...things are settling back into the old familiar rhythms, but that void will always be there-it's just coming to grips with it and accepting that he'll be the angel/devil peeking over our shoulders from now on...life continues, and accepting the inevitability is rough-but I know JD would have wanted this, this celebration of "our world" to roll on-and knowing that the machine will continue to function, even without a major element that is irreplaceable...this is our best way to honor John-by laughing, loving and being here for one another....

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all. True words have been spoken by Scott. Thankee.
It is good to see you back Gallina ( all flavors or tea are here and ice cream too), and so many others. The Catina has always been a safe refuge for all Tet- Mates.
That said, herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central to sit with good Tet- mates and enjoy the day.

[Srbo]

Yeah, mstay and GNT...I know.

Time...that`s all we gotta do...wait for time to pass by and heal the wound.
But it will never erase the scar....

[Becks19]

I have been trying to post as normal. I just don't feel normal......I don't think any of us will for a while. But, what Gntl said makes sense. That is what J.D. would have wanted for us. Sending hugs and wishing everyone a calm, peaceful, and easy day.

[kingricefan]

Good Tuesday All! I think this is my first post in the 'New Ka-tet Cantina'. As everyone has said, it feels strange. But, JD would've wanted us to continue on (and on). Everytime I click on the 'favorites' link and come to the SKMB, I think of our friend. I guess I probably always will. Now it's tinged with sadness, but eventually that part will go away and it will become gratitude for having known (at least thru cyberspace) one of our best members. I hope we all will be able to reach that point, some will take longer than others, I know. I'm sending out good vibes to All who need them. Lots to do today! Gotta take down the Christmas decorations, gotta work on one of my cars, gotta take the other one to the shop, gotta, gotta, gotta......Have a good day everyone! Be good to each other and those who's path you cross.

[GNTLGNT]

Srbo...you are not mistaken...scars will not be erased, but they are reminders of a hard battle fought and won...we wear John's with honor and move forward with pride in what we have ALL helped build.....

Does anyone know if there is a 'new members' list that shows who has joined for each day? I have been trying to continue JD's legacy of welcoming the 'newbies' when they join, but as soon as a new one joins, the older name is deleted from the bottom of the page underneath where it shows who's on-line, etc. For instance, I just welcomed someone today and as soon as I went back from their profile page there was another newbies name and the other newbies name was gone. It would be nice to be able to go to a 'list' each day, welcome all of the newbies at once so that noone would feel left out in case I didn't catch them when their name showed up at the bottom of the page where it shows who's on-line.

Note sure if this is right way, I've been going to Community/Member list and clicking in JOIN DATE- that's the closest I can come to greeting them on their VM page.

[blunthead]

What was the drink John would order here. Not the Irish coffee or the pint of cider. Something "bru"... Anyone, little help?

[cat in a bag]

I've been just trying to do it as soon as I see a post with a name I don't recognize and a small post number. Just click on their name and go to their profile. I'm sure I'm still missing some, but I think I'm catching most of them!

[Srbo]

Don`t know about you, my friends..but posting and talking with all of you as much as I can really helps me cope.
I simply NEED to be with you, as much as possible.

Went to welcome an newbie this morning........looked down the page and I had already welcomed them. ( had to erase the double post, or look nuts) It is a bit hard to keep track and ensure that all have been welcomed.( although, I think I am getting most) I think KingRicefan has a pretty great idea.

Hi, good day, everyone!


After nearly a week, I finally got away from the house yesterday and journeyed a bit further into my DT re-read.
As expected, that proved to be very difficult. But it's a start, and I really needed that.
The concentration I would have preferred for The Waste Lands just wasn't there. My mind kept drifting back to John, and his eternal love for the series. Even word associations were there..
It took me roughly 2 hours to read approx. 33 pages...


Have a good day, everyone!


("All things serve the Beam")

[CCAL]

ah so I'm not the only one having difficulties concentrating on Sai Kings good storys. Colorado Kid sits here. I pick it up, then find myself putting it down. Maybe tomorrow...I'm still focusing on quitting smoking, & have backslid. but I only had one cig today... never quit. just hanging in there.

Hi.

Cant` really say nothing more...so, we say good-bye today to John`s earthly remains...

It's what he would've wanted. Hugs to All!!!!!!!

I know it's John's funeral today, but please, let's all think about the happiness he brought us and the happiness we can bring to our loved ones still here with us. I will join those by the fireplace, with a cup of hot cocoa.

I know it's hard for ALL of us, but please try to be well, on the mend, and as happy as possible.
I'm trying, too, but simple, everyday tasks are proving more difficult than I ever could have imagined.


As you're laid to rest today, please be at peace, and keep an eternal watch over us all, John. We need you.

[ConstantReader1973]

Good morning to all. Since today appears to be starting out as a better day for me, healthwise, I have time to stop in and say I love you all. I'll have a hot cocoa-seems to be comforting right now-and wander off to a corner to relax.

Just don't bring out that Parsnips thingy, I'm a-scared of it!!!!!:eek2:

There's nothing wrong with an orange and lima-bean mayo'd choclolate parsnip mash-potatoe sandwich.

I'll have that and a water . . . I think.

[J.T. Adams]

This is the drink I was thinking of, and I put Johns post in a spoiler because i'm very sensitive to this being painful for a lot of us to read. John has a ton of posts in the old Cantina so your not missing anything by not reading the spoiler, you can go there and read them anytime.

Hi,

Good whatever everyone !!!!

Well, I spent the weekend in bed, sweating out the infection, and it seems to have worked but I've an irritating new symptom,, sporadic violent body tremors (only to be expected apparently) - very annoying but not painful and Jerry Lee Lewis wrote the song.

Keyboarding increasingly difficult so please excuse me if I seem tardy, terse or curt in my replies but it's not intentional, saving up typing for work on my own two unfinished novels, 'Erockica' (1455 pages, 455k words) and 'Seesters' (1366 pages, 300k words); I think I'm scared of writing 'The End'.

Have a great week everyone, and I hope you had a great weekend.

(((((All in need or not))))

Blackcurrant juice please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Gallina]

Placing sign in the New Cantina window for Thursday morning...................


Buckwheat and Pyro are in the House !!!

I remember there were many critters in the cantina, and Buckwheat - is it a snake? If I remember it right, the snake was allowed here once per week.:wink2:

[Srbo]

Yeah..I read that post over and over again these days...

Thankee, BK.

[Spideyman]

I remember there were many critters in the cantina, and Buckwheat - is it a snake? If I remember it right, the snake was allowed here once per week.:wink2:

That's correct, Gallina. Buckwheat was the first snake, and then his friend Pyro came along. If I recall correctly, it was our very own MsMod who needed the warning they were here in the Cantina.:wink2: At first we made a safety path, and later I started placing the sign in the window as a warning to all.

[Kim L.]

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

I have tried Irn Bru, and it is definitely an acquired taste. Hot black coffee, please, to wake up, and a cinnamon roll, just for the cinnamoniness of it. Cinnamonliciousness?

[Gallina]

That's correct, Gallina. Buckwheat was the first snake, and then his friend Pyro came along.

It's not just you, Srbo. I've been complaining to Jordan about this for quite some time but he wasn't able to find anything obvious that was causing it so we thought it might just be my internet connection since I'm on a cable connection. Have also been having a lot more double posts than usual this week so had emailed him earlier about that which is why the Board was out of commission for a while this morning. I'm still seeing double posts, though, and have let him know.

In addition to the thank you and welcome button problem, I've experienced some weird unintentional loggin off/dropping out of session. That has been going for a few days.

A few suggestion form a computer nerd...
First, go in your control panel and see if you to need update your PC. Although Windows automatically updates, you still should check for updates.

Or sharing a network can slow down your connection. Is your broadband speed 300Mbps?

Also try clearing your browsing history.

The next time you puter freezes open your tasks and close the program that is not responding. then open your event viewer and see what your system is doing.

Good Thursday.

Everyone is doing well, I pray.

Ha! I tried to post and either my computer or the website would not allow me. My cursor vanished. When I tried to VM for 'Help!' same thing-no cursor. I thought about it very hard (that explains the burning feather smell) and tried going advanced and ta-da! I'm posting! I'll have my son take a look at my computer and see what I messed up.

Just have to make it through Friday and then a three day weekend.
Anybody else have a three-day weekend that means, 'I have three days to get the zillion things I have to do, to get done' ? :glare:

Expecting a hard freeze tonight/Friday morning.

Everyone take care and stay safe.

Hi, good day, everyone!

I hope all's well, or getting better..:)


I found this on Facebook. I don't remember the name of the true author, but thought is was good and a very dear friend agreed with me. Hope this cheers some of you up, at least a little. I'm sure whomever wrote this wanted readers on the public internet to look forward to the future with as much positivity as can be gathered.
Good Afternoon, and welcome to Flight #2012. We are prepared to take off into the New Year. Please make sure your Attitude and Blessings are secured and locked in, in the upright position.

Should we lose altitude under pressure during the flight, please reach up and pull down a Prayer! Prayers will automatically be activated by Faith. Once your Faith is activated, you can assist other passengers. There will be NO BAGGAGE allowed on this flight. The Captain has cleared us for takeoff ~ Destination: GREATNESS!

This is GREAT, Charms! Thank you!



Srbo- since you asked, I'm having all kinds of trouble "thanking" other members, and delayed loading time.
Ms. Mod- does any of this have to do with the changes on our profiles..?



Happy Birthday, Jojo!!

Whew! I got a ton of work done today, troubleshooting on the homeschool board I co-lead, and revamping and resetting all the of boards for our offshoot co-op for the year. That doesn't sound like much, but I've been in front of the computer so long I think I'm losing what's left of my mind!

It's disappointing that all of Friday's posts were lost. I really thought that was some of my best stuff.:biggrin2:

A new week, and welcome Tuesday ( for all who are still confused as to what day it is ). I see Jordan has waved his magical wand and things are working much better. Sad about Friday's posts and threads-- but that is much better than losing the whole years! Yikes. Thankee Kindly, Jordan.

Welcome back MsMod- hope it was a restful weekend.

Fljoe, you were in rare form on FRiday:smile2: I think the 13th on a Friday does that to us.
Hope everyone is safe from Mother Nature. Looks of storms, the fluffy white kind and the really wet and icy kind.
Fireplace is lit, so herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central. All are welcome to join.

I pray everyone is doing well and had a great weekend.

Morning, everyone!

Feel better, Sig!

It is very cold here and I'm still fighting headaches off and on. Felt better on Sunday so decided to tear into my basement and sort through some stuff...all I accomplished was making one huge mess. Where does all this stuff come from? :eek2: I found some address labels from before I was married...our 11th anniversary is next month! haha. And school stuff from the kids galore. Guess I need to buy some scrapbooks or something. Having a hard time paring everything down, maybe I'm a closet hoarder? :laugh:

Have a good day everyone, feel better, stay warm and safe. :love:

[Jojo87]

Hope all have a great and safe day and week!
Feel well soon Sig! It's bad cold and flue season now. Stay warm and rest, that help.
I agree with you Gallina about the snow. It's a lot of white stuff on the ground here too.
And it been pretty cold too. Yesterday temps was -6C and today it was -8C brrrr......
Stay safe from cold, heat and storm.
Be well and take good care!!

Hi.

Ummm...what happened here? Feel like Bill Murray in " Lost In Translation" :)
Ah, the board, the board.
Keep up the good work, Jordan and Brian.

Raining here, I`ve got a stiff neck again...I don`t know how many times this has happened in the last few months. Every couple of weeks it happens...
My wife says that it seems like that happens to me whenever I start worrying about something to much...or feel sad.
And yeah, I do feel sad. We all know why.:down:

That possible? That you get a psychical problem cos your nerves are strung out?

Hope everybody rested well during the weekend, love and lights.

Neck (and back) muscles are a very common area to tense up from emotional stress. I feel it all the time when I'm doing massages and that's where I get tense the most, too.

I, too, carry alot of stress in the neck area but most of it is down in my lower back. I hope everyone had a great weekend? Looks like those of us out here in the Pacific Northwest are in for the 'Storm Of The Century'!! Lots of snow is being predicted for us. My relatives over in the Seattle area already got a few inches yesterday with much more to come later this week. So far, here on the other side of the state, we haven't had any, but it is coming.

My neck gets that way. I don't think it's necessarily due to sleeping askew. I guess the muscles can become cramped enough to pull neck bones outta kilter.

Not very much but still have a few people I continue to do massages for to justify renewing my LMT license every year. :smile2: Muscles can become cramped enough to pull a lot of bones (not just the neck ones), tendons and ligaments out of kilter as well as pressing on nerves that cause pain (thinking of sciatic), too. Looking forward to the day when more of the medical community will acknowledge that therapeutic massage isn't just pampering and can be just as helpful as chiropractic, physical therapy, and prescription drug, etc. therapies.

Try to use hand cream or talc on your hands when petting the cats. You can also try gently rubbing the cat with a nylon stocking. do NOT use a dryer sheet, it has toxins in it. Last resort- a very fine misting of warm water-- look out as cat most cats hate that.

Good luck.

I just pulled a load of laundry out of the dryer and even after having a dryer sheet in there, there's still alot of static on the clothes. Isn't static in the air a sign of snow? Speaking of dryer sheets, have you ever had one of those pop out of your clothes while you're out somehwhere like at work? I've had them fall out of the bottom of my pants before while out somewhere!:blush:

Hi everybody. Complaining about weather is my favorite small talk topic. But to be honest, this winter has been pretty tolerable, much warmer than the previous two.
Yesterday however, it was pretty scary, as it rained icy water when I left from work by car. All of a sudden, the visibility was close to zero with no possibility to pull over to scrape the ice off on the windshield. With pure luck, I avoided hitting anything.

Have a nice Tuesday

[Moderator]

It's because the air is drier and since there is less water vapor in the air in the winter, that's why it's more prevalent then. You might consider using a humidifier if it gets too bad. :smile2:

[Jojo87]

Happy Tuesday everyone! Not sure about everyone else but I am freezing my buns off today! -32C here with a windchill of -50C :eek2:! It is a jammie and hot chocolate kind of day.

Your temperature sounds like something we had last winter. When it was coldest we had -30C and that we had for a week. Coldest we have had this winter is -20C but these last days is been around -5C to-10C with much snow. Stay warm.

Wow, you were certainly lucky! Good thing you didn't hit anything/anyone. That happened to me once before, the rain just came down and iced everything over, way too fast! I do seem to recall a couple of months ago that you were disappointed that your country hadn't had any snow, but that certainly has changed in the last month or so, eh?

[LongTallSally]

Ummm...yeah.
She married me for some reason...I could never figure that one out....:)

Come on, brother, I've seen the look in her eyes in the photos... She's totally in love with you. Accept it, you're very lovable, brother.

[randallFlaggfan1]

I did have a nice relaxing 3 days off even though I didn't do anything exciting but still sounds like I had a lot better time off than you did. :sad: Hope you feel better very soon. :love:


Why, thank you very much, Ms. Mod!:love: You are so sweet!


Brian and Jordan- I forgot to mention it before, but the work you do for us every day is much appreciated (including the missing posts this last Friday, of course.) Thank you!

Try to use hand cream or talc on your hands when petting the cats. You can also try gently rubbing the cat with a nylon stocking. do NOT use a dryer sheet, it has toxins in it. Last resort- a very fine misting of warm water-- look out as cat most cats hate that.

Good luck.

I did not realize that a dryer sheet would contain toxins that could harm a cat. The same stuff goes on my clothes, and it's a well-known alternative to bug spray here in the southeast usa-my son wipes down with them to keep the no-see-ums (sand gnats) off him.

Luckily it was a no pedastrian zone, I wouldn't have dared to drive risking to hit pedastrians.

I think it must've been Jojo87, who was disapointed, I could live without winter just fine.

[JellybeanJay]

I love weather small talk, weather is an interesting topic for sure!

I don't much mind the cold as long as I can stay inside. Today, I only have to venture out for 10 minutes to pick my oldest up from school, good thing we only live a block away!

I got my blanket, a good book and all I am missing is marshmellows for my hot cocoa!

I guess it's the naturalist/holistic part of me. Many do use the dryer sheets to keep the bugs away. The stronger the smell, the more they stay away, but they do contain many toxins which seep into the skin. I''ll PM you some info.

Thanks, Spidey. I do try to stay away from things that are unnatural, but I think my hubby would have a real problem with it if I stopped using fabric softener and dryer sheets. Yes, we use both-his skin gets really dry, especially in the winter time, and he really can't stand it when his work clothes aren't soft. But, I will check out the info you sent. Maybe there's a more natural alternative that will work just as well. I guess I sort of figured that I would rather have my son use the dryer sheets than a bug spray containing a poison and Deet.

No one said you should, I loved it there, wish things have been butter, but alas...life sometimes just says " move on". :)

Which I do quite a lot, dang it...as Metallica would say...

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

I do hope though to let roots grow somewhere...soon..I`m getting weary...

[Tery]

Hope you feel better soon Siggy and Srbo *hugs*

Expecting a s--tload of snow today. So if I disappear, you can start digging :laugh:

[Spideyman]

Good Wednesday to all. Hope that Siggy and Srbo are feeling better.
Having the St. Bernards on stand by for you Tery.
To all on the westcoast of the USA be safe from the winter blast whether it be snow, ice or rain. It looks nasty.
Rain due in for Spideyland, but temps remain nice.
Look to the positives-- the weekend is in sight.
Herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central. All are welcome to join.

Pizza Day- saving one for Cowboy and the latest listing of jobs available. Good luck!

[blunthead]

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!...We had everything all ready for him...so disappointing.I'm sorry to hear that, Kim. (((((Kim)))))

[blunthead]

Not very much but still have a few people I continue to do massages for to justify renewing my LMT license every year. :smile2: Muscles can become cramped enough to pull a lot of bones (not just the neck ones), tendons and ligaments out of kilter as well as pressing on nerves that cause pain (thinking of sciatic), too. Looking forward to the day when more of the medical community will acknowledge that therapeutic massage isn't just pampering and can be just as helpful as chiropractic, physical therapy, and prescription drug, etc. therapies.Oh, I didn't know you were an LMT, Mod! (Which now makes everyone wonder who I did think you were massaging...). I know from experience about pinched nerves due to atrophied muscles. My right psoas muscle is a little atrophied, for some reason, which causes a vertebra in my lower back to pinch a nerve, which in turn causes right hip and leg pain. Curiously, my lower back often doesn't hurt at all. There are exercises I can do, and walking helps. This is not a typical area for massaging, though.



Well, I just have to ask since I am only a week old here (or not even) just as I asked about who John was, I must be nosy and know what this Catina is too. All my mind is thinking is those guys from Jabba's Palace that play the sax.

Mornin`.
Snowing and Suzana is all exited about the snow.
Nice, big snow-flakes. Makes me feel like a kid again.
My neck is still stiff, but showing some improvement.

Where are the people? I can see only 23 people logged in....nothing unusual during the summer, everybody is outside...but winter?
Sad to see somehow, even though I`m sure Marsha is not complaining...

John..I miss you bro. I miss you something unbelievable....

[Moderator]

Agreed--being where they are, psoas muscles aren't an easy area to try to massage. Lots of different theories out there about how to manage psoas pain.

Wishing all Tet-Mates a healthy, happy day. For all of you who are enduring brutal temps, may they warm up A.S.A.P.. I hope all who were/are under the weather are feeling better. Kim, Sorry to hear that the puppy didn't work out. The right one will come along!!! :biggrin2:

[Gallina]

Good morning to everyone!:love:

[Kim L.]

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
Thanks to all who expressed their kind thoughts; I know there's a dog out there for me somewhere, just not right now.
Chilly outside (well, for northern California it's chilly) and we're finally going to get our rain tonight. People start muttering about drought and the reservoirs, and the ski resorts get unhappy if we don't get our winter precip. I'd be just as happy to be in Hawaii, which is actually where I'm going to be in a few weeks.

For now, I'll grab a hot chocolate and head over to bean bag central. Have a great day, everyone!

[kingricefan]

Good Wednesday All! Sending out lots of happy vibes to all who need them. And lots of warm thoughts to those in the areas impacted by the snow that's either here or coming to you. It's currently snowing here, lightly, but nothing like 'they' have been predicting for us. We're supposed to get around 8 inches or so in the next day or so. I have taken four days off from work and I couldn't have timed it better! Don't have to go back till Saturday and by then the roads should be all plowed and cleared and, hopefully with the predicted higher temps, melting snow! Gonna stay indoors and do some cleaning and some other work around the house. Have to go get ready to go tto the doctor's, so gotta go. Everyone have a great day and love those you're with!!!!

[kingricefan]

There's a couple of Birthdays today, you all know what to do.......

Hi, Happy Wednesday, everyone!
(It's great to be here amongst the Ka-Tet, as always.)

Hopefully all's well, or getting better.:)

Well as predicted, we are really getting hammered with snow now.:grr: It was already coming down hard when I got up at 8:45 this morning, and my beautiful Tanya said there's a good couple inches.. with no end in sight. The weather reports say 4-6 more inches by tonight, and even more tomorrow afternoon....


Have a great day, everyone!

Good Wednesday, Everybody!

Everyone is doing well, I pray.

Just reading about the cold you are experience makes me shiver. Yikes!

Ms.Mod., we have talked a little bit about this before. I carry all my stress in my neck, shoulders and upper back. Have mercy, no matter how much I try to meditate or work out, I find myself with my shoulders up around my ears. And I am in pain. :sad: I have had massages and all the kinks (I call them Rice Krispies 'cause they snap, crackle and pop! OUCH!) they finds and work out...heaven. After 45-50 minutes I am a puddle of ooze on the table and whatever cares I had are far, far away. Massages are not a luxury. They are therapeutic both physiologically, physically and psychologically.

Stress kills. It's a medical fact. I have worked in the fields and I have had times of stress and I will testify. 12 hours in the fields under a relentless Sun is preferable to stress. Stress is with you 24/7. It's horrible. And if a massage can help a person with their physical pain and give them a little time to escape their stress...God Bless.

And for those insurance people, paying for a client to get a massage twice a month is way more cost effective than paying for a client blowing a stroke, having a heart attack and all the OT/PT and aftercare they will need.

Sorry, for the rant. I'm stressed and I need a therapeutic massage. Not a luxury. :mad2: THERAPY!

We now return you to your regular Cantina posts.

:smile2:

Have a great day! Stay safe and warm.

Hugs.

Peace.

What a snowstorm! Phewwww....but it`s OK, I was starting to get worried about winter. First really bad day weather wise...and that is unusual for Canada. It usually is like this come November, but not so this year....
Nothing else really exciting going on.
Gonna go and make some chicken soup...and probably watch Storm Of The Century.
Fits right in! :)
Love and green lights.

Happy Thursday All! Can we say SNOW?????????? Lots and lots of it fell yesterday and still more coming down today. It sure is pretty! I am so-o glad that I took my four days off from work and don't have to be out driving in it right now. Lots of icy roads, not good for driving on at all. Looks like Seattle is pretty much shut down on that side of the state, lots of ice storms came thru early in the morning. Be careful, folks!! Our side of the state is abit more prepared and able to deal with the conditions, but I still ain't going out in it! Today will be cleaning day and baking brownies. You are all cordially invited to come over and have some nice warm brownies! Yum!!:laugh:

XoHI, Dav13Bh07! You and the SKMB are well met. You probably have ten posts now, by the time I finish going on. And on. Atlanta is great today. Not chilly. How do we do it? We don't, but we do wait, because in 12 hours we'll be iced in. I should go shopping for staples. Then walmart.

[Becks19]

Phew, had a minute to catch my breath!! My girls are eating homemade soup and playing a barbie video game. It's snowing here too now....looks kinda pretty.
