The Ka-Tet Cantina

[MadamMack]

Welcome all . . .

[Patricia A]

Hi Guys! Great looking chocolate chip oatmeal cookies Spidey. I'm having Diet Pepsi but I could switch over to a Hazelnut Cappuccino, that would go real good with them thar cookies.
Lots of good folks in here, and coooookies!

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

[Kim L.]

Hi to all Tet-mates-
Have been a voyeour on this site and figured it was time to check in with everyone
and say hello.
Having an evening coffee and just chilling out.
(((((((IN NEED OR NOT)))))))))

Hi, waterliliyjaguar! I was thinking just today that I love your screen name.

[MadamMack]

This thread has over 2500 replies . . .sweet.

[Lepplady]

Cookies!! I'll take a couple. Dozen. :biggrin2:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all and a Happy Wednesday. May the road to the weekend be an easy one.

Brought in more cookies. I see the ones from last night are almost gone.

Good to see all the bright and happy faces this morning.

Large iced herbal tea and I'll be my the bean bags.

Hello to all! Motherwolf, I loved the tea you gave me yesterday!!! The taste was great!
Spidey, come and rest for a while, there are many juicy fruits here.
Kim, the pictures are so nice!!!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone!!!

Still stuck in the cafe until Monday (Yay), but I hope all is well with everyone and their's.

And welcome waterlilyjaguar, I'm with Kim about your name.

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

Large Irish coffee please, and a hazlenut cappuchino for Pat.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Hump Day! Such wonderful cookies--I'll take a half-dozen (cyber calories, right?) and a large hot black coffee to go. Off to work, bye!

[Eleese of Gilead.]

My mouth is salivating! Those were darn good cookies, especially when dipped into motherwolf's tea....yum yum! Thankee Spideyman, I will grab another cup o' tea and head over to the beanbags...need to sink into a good seat right about now.

Thanks so much John, I'll have that with just with the tiniest bit of Brandy in please.((((:smile2: See you soon. :smile2:))))

[Lepplady]

Sweets are well and good, but I'll be setting up a buffet for lunch. Some chinese food, some burgers and fries, lots of salads and greens. And a dessert bar too, of course.
As usual, I'll be at the booth in the front with my computer, and a plate heaped high with goodies from the buffet. I'm working on a final rewrite -mere pages away from being done! Woot! Stop by and say hi if you like. Maybe sit and chat awhile.
:smile2:

I tried to make cookies to help replenish the supply, but burned them as per my baking abilities so I got this cheese cake at the deli, seriously I can't bake to save my life. I did make a really good Biscotti once, it was a happy accident. I was trying to make Brownies. :biggrin2:

[motherwolf]

:cool2::smile2: Hello to all!!! Hope everyone makes it in today. (((((((Tet-Mates! My Pack! Heart and Prayers for all! In Need Or Not!!!)))))))

[LadyPain]

Good morning folks....

Almost time to get off the computer here even though I just signed on. Sh*t on a shingle, the comp is running on batteries and I don't know where he left the cord.

Oh well. The dog is asking to go out to the alley anyways.

Have a good day.

Oooooh! You're killing me! Can I have a piece of that??:grinning:

[Patricia A]

*opens the door awkwardly with one crutch and sneaks inside and sits by the window*

Is there one of you kind souls who'll be willing to get me a cuppa tea and a banana nut muffin? I'm unable to carry it to the table myself as I'm on crutches due to a 'minor' fall down some stairs Friday night! I had to go to the hospital for x-rays but fortunately no fractured bones. A twisted ankle it is though and I can't walk, so I'm hanging on for dear life on crutches - I feel so damn helpless!

Hope you're all doing fine. Sorry I haven't posted in a while - that doesn't mean I don't stop by every now and again - I do, trust me I do.

(((((((((((((((((((everyone))))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh Jeeze I missed this one, how the heck are you! Stupid stairs!

[papawolf0401]

*Wolf paws into the Cantina. He yawns and stretches before walking the rest of the way into the Cantina. He tackles MamaWolf and tickles her before sitting down on the floor panting. His tail swaying softly.*
I am back on my medicine and I have back-ups. May was a really bad month for me, I am just glad it is over. *Butts his head against random legs* E'yada'hey everyone! I disappear for awhile, so... Welcome, come in, come in! Always welcome from my understanding. I should be doing my homework, but I am enjoying my peaceful mind.

((((((((((((((((((((((ALL TET MATES IN NEED OR NOT))))))))))))))))))))))

[Eleese of Gilead.]

I must say sitting here while we all enjoy each other's company has made me feel all warm and giddy and I am a little too excited for a certain Mexico trip that I wont even be attending...my heart is now too big for my sleeve...

((((((((congratulations to all who are happy and in love))))))))

BUCKWHEAT'S IN THE HOUSE

[Moderator]

MsMod, did you get the planting accomplished????:smile2:

Didn't mean to be ignoring you. :smile2: It rained all day Saturday so spent much of the day entering data on the new site. I'm hoping we can give you all a little teaser of it by Friday so you'll have the weekend to check it out. It still needs a lot of work to be finished, but we're getting there. BTW, if any of you have noticed that the posting seems to be more sporadic this week, that's the reason why--I've been working on the new site. Hopefully you'll agree it was worth the spotty posting once you see it.

Sunday started out bright and sunny so we did manage to get most of the garden planted. I didn't have quite enough time before the thunderstorms came through to get the window boxes planted, though. The lupine seeds we spread last year are taking hold and are popping up in places we didn't expect but that's a nice surprise. Now if they could just out-populate the dandelions, we'd be all set. :smile2:

MsMod, you never ignore us. You always are going above and beyond for us and the SKMB. No problems here with spotty posts... gives us more time to read what we've missed.

A teaser of the new site... triple wow!!!! Whenever you can.

I bet your garden will be beautiful. MsMod not only has a "delete finger" but a green thumb as well.:smile2::wink2:

Thank you for all you do. :smile2:

[Moderator]

You're most welcome and thank you for all the compliments. On that pleasant note, I'm going to call it a night. See you all on the flip side. :sleepy:

Good morning to all! Please, a cup of tea to warm myself - it's rather cold outside.
(((((All Tet-mates in need)))))

[MrsSmeej]

:sad: Marianne, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Crutches are no fun... Although, they can be parlayed into all sorts of perks. I one time got seated in first class on an airplane (including the free drinks part) because the stewardesses got tired of watching me try to shuffle down the aisle. Play it to the hilt, Marianne. :wink2:

Good luck on your garden Ms.Mod. I'm not allowed to touch any plants around my home. I'm afraid I've even managed to kill a potted cactus... And don't worry about the dandelions. If viewed properly, dandelions are bright, cheerful, yellow flowers that are extremely easy to grow. Even I couldn't kill a dandelion... :eek2: Unless I tried to take care of it, I suppose. :biggrin2:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Saw you working late, Ms. Mod--thanks for all your work here and on the new site.
Hi John, Pat, Spidey, Motherwolf, Galli, Madam Mack, daisygirl, Eleese of Gilead, Luli, LadyPain and hi to everyone I missed.
I'll be out on the patio this lovely almost-summer morning, enjoying my coffee and cinnamon toast; join me if you'd like.

[daisygirl]

Happy Thursday, Everyone!!
Haven't been in in a while--hope I still have a seat on the patio. I've been looking for a Hibiscus Tea to try, anyone know where I can get it? In the meantime, I'll take a nice cold lemonade to the patio. Come join me in the sun!!

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all.

Warm cup of tea for you Galli. Stay warm and come sit in the sunshine.

Hope all is well for all today. Weekend coming soon.

Buckwheat, you be good now. Leave Madam's neck alone, or outside you go:blush:

Herbal tea and bean bag city. Come join me......


(((((All Tet-Mates in need and their families too))))))))

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone!!!

Sorry to hear about your accident, Marianne - here's to a speedy recovery. And I did once fight a losing battle against dandelions; MrsSmeej's advice about dandelion cultivation sounds a reasonable ploy - grow to love your 'lions LOL.

(((((((((((((((((((((Marianne)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

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

Large Irish coffee please, and CFC for Pat.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Moderator]

So you're saying I should develop my 'lion pride? :biggrin2: Sorry, couldn't help myself. :smile2:

[Shasta]

Hi everyone! I'm back. Crazy at work and just wanted to give a "grandpa watch" update. His surgery has been rescheduled - for Friday the 13th. Great.

I will be outside, sleeping in the sunshine to the sounds of the animals!

[Spideyman]

That's a keeper !:rofl:

[Volic]

Hello Spidey, Kim, Daisygirl, MrsSmeej, John - everyone I see here! Thank you for a cup of tea Spidey, it is warming me in a very good way!
Kim, I'll join you on the patio - I'g love to listen to more stories about your wonderful trip!:smile2:

Hi there everyone... It's Thursday, isn't it??? I brought Abby in to play with Buckwheat...she hasn't been in to visit for a long time. :smile2:

May I have a diet coke for me and some pate` for the little Princess? Spoiled wee feline... :love:

Hi Mod, Hi Spidey, Kim, Galli, Jane, Charms, Mrs. Smjee, Cowboy , Madam, Motherwolf, Gwenny, the betas, John and Pat...and everyone else in the Cantina... :)

Shasta, continued good vibes and prayers your way. Positive Intensions... 13 can be a lucky number.

Bye guys I must be off to the book mines, thanks for the CFC John!
Enjoy your lions Ms Mod, it could be worse it could be crabgrass. :biggrin2:
(((((HUGS TO ALL)))))

[Eleese of Gilead.]

Good morning to all! I am trying out a new thing today, no coffee....'tis strange but I think it will be better in the long run, does anyone have a suggestion on what else I could sip on....?? I'm trying to stay away from the sugar, even in the Cantina I must stay strong.
I will be out on the patio with Kim L. it is such a lovely day!

[Volic]

Hello Anni, Shasta and Patricia, and everyone!

Anni, can you put a pic of Abby in the thread?:wink2:
More prayers are being sent for your Grandpa Shasta!:smile2:
Patricia, don't get lost among the books!!!:biggrin2:

It's my lucky number. Good thoughts and prayers for your grandpa, Shasta.

How abut hot (decaf) tea with lemon? I was just going to get some.

[Kim L.]

Patricia, don't get lost among the books!!!:biggrin2:

Does sound like a lovely way to be lost, though...

[LadyPain]

*steps in and sidesteps when Buckwheat slithers on by*

Good morning! I think I'll just grab myself a cup of tea today.

I have much to do. I wish I could clone myself so one me could do all of the work and the other one could read all day. Then they could switch the next day and so on. That would be my perfect solution.

For now, I will do a bit of reading. I do have to do something during brunch...

[skimom]

So, is the Cantina a private party? I'm not much of a door crasher, but would love a large Irish Breakfast tea and to share some lovely blueberry/lemon thyme scones I just made.

[mstay]

Patricia, don't get lost among the books!!!:biggrin2:

Personally, I think this would be heaven! :biggrin2:

I hope everyone is having a great day. I heard someone ask for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies a few days ago. Well, I have the best recipe ever! The secret is it has a little cinnamon in it. YUMM! I made bunches so everyone help yourself. Enjoy!

I'll be out in the sunshine with Shasta, Kim and Eleese. (It's raining and cold here again.:sad:)

[Anni M]

Hello Anni, Shasta and Patricia, and everyone!

Anni, can you put a pic of Abby in the thread?

Here is my little Princess. :love:

Quick Post... Hugs to all, I am feeling better. Just taking it slow and trying to catch up on my school work. I hope all my Tet-Mates are doing well. As for happy in love, that is still up in the air. This is a dark time of my life. I am fighting with whatever I can get my hands on.

Anni I'd forgotten how cute Abby is. Thank you for posting her picture.

How about we take the south wall of the Cantina and put up all the critter pictures? Abby, we'll start with you. I'll get a picture of Buckwheat tonight and have it for next Thursday.

PapaWolf hang in there. Good things come to those who wait.

Skimom the Cantina is an open and friendly place to enjoy cyber food and drink (not calories or side effects ), and meet good friends. Welcome.

LadyPain take a few free moments of quiet time. It'll help get you through the day.

[Charms7]

Hello, Tet-Mates!

C'mon join us, skimom! We're happy you're here!

Anni, beautiful pics!

LadyPain, I wish I had a clone, or something that allowed me more time to spend on the SKMB and also to read my beloved books, of course.

I can't believe I missed seeing Buckwheat again!

I miss you all so much!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
The strawberry stands are open, amid the fields, so I brought in some just-picked ones, still warm form the sun. I can make strawberry shortcake if anyone wants some.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

[Lepplady]

So, is the Cantina a private party? I'm not much of a door crasher, but would love a large Irish Breakfast tea and to share some lovely blueberry/lemon thyme scones I just made.By no means is it private. Any hungry, thirsty or lonely soul can come in for a bit of company. The scones smell wonderful, and I think there's a spot on the counter there where everybody will find them.
Just watch out for the snake. I don't know if he's a scone-stealer or not, but you never know.
Welcome.

huggles to all at this late hour. I'm glad to see the lights were left on.
:smile2:

[LadyPain]

*peeks in to see if Buckwheat has left yet and heads over to the bar for a late night pint of Guiness*

Have a good night folks.

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. It's Friday

Happy to see all the smiling faces this morning. May all the ills and woes pass behind today. Only health and light for the weekend to come.

Hello Te-Mates!

I hope all had a wonderful weekend.

Shasta, your grandpa is in my prayers and good thoughts.

Eleese, I hope you don't mind, but there was some leftover wine and (hiccup!) I imbibed a little.

Warm hugs and happy thoughts for all!

[Kim L.]

Hood Morning, Everyone!
Hope your weekend was wonderful. Lots of storms out there; please stay safe. My mom fell down a ravine while camping Saturday & had to have 30 stitches in her leg. :oh:
Marianne, how was your Denmark trip and how is your nephew?
Galli and dragafari, sorry, I was being a smart-a$$. July 4 is Independence Day in the US, that's why we set off the fireworks. It also happens to be the cats' 15 birthdays.
John, hope you are reconnected now. You've been missed.
Good to see you guys! Large hot coffee and a cherry strudel for me, please.

[LadyPain]

It's late Sunday night here. I think I'll just leave a plate of homemade ginger snaps on the counter over there...

Still trying to get over the retired cop who tried to kill my dog today with his truck. It has me extremely worried that he will leave out antifreeze where the neighbourhood animals can get to it. Can't report anything. Cops look out for each other here, even to the point of stretching the laws. So, they'd watch out for a retired coworker, who would naturally assume the position of the innocent, wronged party. It made me cry to think of how I could have lost my dog today, and how I will have to guard her carefully for the rest of her life.

Maybe the guy will give himself a heart attack.

[MadamMack]

Good morning everybody . . .I have some news that I wish to share with you.
Our Board member Tcgob (Steve) needs our good vibes today. You see, his wife is very ill and he really needs our support. I ask that you please send your good vibes out to him and his family. He's been feeling a little low lately and I think we can add a little sunshine to his blues.

Thank you . . .

Hello, my friends. Everything ok?
Today I woke up in distress -once more- after having one of my nightmares. This time I dreamt that there was a new war in the world- a war between Europe and the USA. In my dream, I was watching tv and I heard the news. I inmediately thought about the cantina mates and burst into tears. It was very sad indeed. :sad:
Have a nice week.
Summer holidays are near, I can see them coming...

[Shasta]

Happy Monday everyone! It's hot and sticky where I am so I am going to the pool!

Rainy season is in full swing my way.... Thunderstorms daily.:sad:

That sunrise was beautiful. Puts one in a happy mood. Thankee Pat

Gelata no more bad dreams and no more dreams of war. We need peace in the world righ now.

Shasta hope you and yours are OK.

Kim L prayers for you mom. That was some fall!

Madam Mack thank you for telling us about Tcgob- prayers.

Lady pain how awful. There is a safe antifreeze available. They should take the older stuff off thre market. It is fatal for critters.

Charms hey there.

May the sun shine for all today with a wonderful day. :smile2:

GOOD MORNING!!
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was finally sunny here, and I was stuck in meetings all weekend:sad:. Oh well, I'm taking the kids to the pool today, so that should make up for it.
Anyway, I brought some banana coconut muffins to share-grab one and you favorite beverage!
Lady pain-I'm so sorry to hear about your near miss-take care of that puppy!
Prayers for all that need them, and have a better day.

Good morning to all!

Such sad news this Monday morning, Gelata although I shared a night of scary dreams and poor sleep I am o.k. don't worry about us here at the Cantina this is our sacred place :smile2:.
To Jenn and Steve, my thoughts are with you and I will send out positive vibes with the rest of your mates!
My goodness Kim L 30 stitches!!! How did she manage out at the campsite?? I wish her a speedy recovery, that's no fun at the start of the outdoor season...
LadyPain, how horrible (not the ginger snaps they were delicious thankee) but that sad sad man who has nothing to live for, I pity him. Your dog (pet, friend etc..) is lucky to have such a sensible person to care for her I really hope this shell of a man gets what's coming his way.

Good morning everybody . . .I have some news that I wish to share with you.
Our Board member Tcgob (Steve) needs our good vibes today. You see, his wife is very ill and he really needs our support. I ask that you please send your good vibes out to him and his family. He's been feeling a little low lately and I think we can add a little sunshine to his blues.

Thank you . . .

Hello, Everyone!

(((((((Tcgob & Wife)))))))

[Kim L.]

It's late Sunday night here. I think I'll just leave a plate of homemade ginger snaps on the counter over there...

Still trying to get over the retired cop who tried to kill my dog today with his truck. It has me extremely worried that he will leave out antifreeze where the neighbourhood animals can get to it. It made me cry to think of how I could have lost my dog today, and how I will have to guard her carefully for the rest of her life.


How sad and frightening that someone would stoop as low as this. Good thoughts and prayers sent your way that your dog will be safe always.

*Wolf paws into the Cantina. He shakes his shaggy black fur and sneezes* Sorry all, I believe I am sick with allergies or a sinus infection. *paws to sit by the fire. He sits down and looks around* I just caught up on everything. Thank you all for the support. I know that if I wait, I will be awarded. I have been paitent enough in my view. Maybe my wife is right, she asked if I wanted to go home for a little while. To stay with my mom and dad. I am not sure of what I am going to do. My horoscope seems to say pick one, take a break from love or find other ways to spend time together.

Ani, is you that has the cat that is turning fifteen this month? If I can remember correctly, it is 15 times 7 minus 3. 15 times 7 equals 105, minus the 3 because cats only age four years in their first year. Which would make her a good 102, a will aged senor and a beauty as well. ;) thanks for sharing.

Laters,
Wolf

Well, here's hoping that everyone had a good day! Papawolf, take care of yourself. Gonna settle back by the firepit with a cold Rising Moon and tip it to the tet-mates before bed-sweet dreams!

Husky vs. Mom: Husky 1, Mom 0. Think Chihuahua, moms do much better up against the smaller breeds.
Seriously though, I'm glad she's doing well now. You must have been really scared. You're entitled to a bit of grumpy when you're worried.

Hi all...thought I'd come in and play before Ben gets home from school.
I hope everyone is having a swell day! Hi Mod! :smile2:

For those getting tornadoes since last night, grab my hand, I'll help haul you back...
Maybe not.
One got a little too close to Guelph last night. I saw a few pretty dark clouds start to funnel south of us. Pretty cool, really. However, the two cats and Ben were velcroed to bed with me and no-one would leave! It was 120 degrees in that room! :tongue:

[Spideyman]

Dropping back in for a quick snack.

Kim hope your mom is doing better. Big breeds are a handful, but so are the little ones sometimes.

As that is just about my favorite of the series, I would gladly read to you!

[LadyPain]

I finished making my soap (2 kinds... rose geranium and vanilla hemp) and now I can kick back for a little while. I have to decide between reading, art, or a movie. Pretty good guess what will win today. Read for a while, then scribble on a drawing I have been working on for a while, and then finish off with a movie. Seems logical enough. I've just been so bleedin' exhausted lately. I have to take some time to just do nothing in particular. It is kind of nice to find the time to allow the mind to wander. One never knows what path it will take. And, remember...

'Not all who wander are lost.'

Hello dear Tet-mates.
I come to you with a heavy heart and troubled mind today.
Let me ask you girls here a hypothetical question.
If a guy has a girlfriend (he's been living with for more than 6 years) whose mother (in another state) is dying, should he take her for a visit the family set up? You know, THE visit. Probably the final one. Sure, she could probably drive herself, but should he step up and do it? If he's on vacation and won't miss any work and has no other good reason not to? Each has met the other's family many times throughout the years and nobody has any major quarrels.
If he refuses, for no good reason, should she get upset at him, or would she be over reacting because of the emotional situation?

If the couple has been together that long and there are no problems with the commonlaw inlaws, then I do not see why he should not accompany her. If he is able to do it, he should. It wouldn't be easy but I am sure it would be appreciated greatly by her.

Hard to know what to do though, unless you are stuck in that situation yourself... I'd say he should take her.

I personally am an easy going person with a live and let live attitude about most things but this is a family emergency and he should be there for his girlfriend. I would be really disappointed in him if I were her.

I guess I should grab a couple of cokes and a handful of cookies and leave for a while. My guy has gone off to work and I get to have an Alice Cooper day. I tend not to play Alice when he's around. Too much for him to handle. :geek:

I'll check in later on once I have gotten some housework done. I am expected to rest today, apparently, but I have too much crap to do. *rolls eyes*



Before I go...

*sets up a table in the corner with fresh flowers, a steaming pot of tea, and some HobNob biscuits*

[mstay]

Lepplady,

I think he should go with you. But....if he is anything like my husband maybe he doesn't want to go because he is afraid. (Something he would never admit.) My husband doesn't like hospitals, illness of any kind and I'm sure visiting someone who is close to dying would send him over the edge. Before my son was born I was on bedrest at the hospital for a whole month and he had a very hard time visiting me - his wife!

Maybe it's something like that with your boyfriend. He may or may not be willing to talk about it but maybe this will help you understand. I hope it helps.

[Eleese of Gilead.]

As that is just about my favorite of the series, I would gladly read to you!

Well Thankee skimom! It is my favourite as well...so far! There's something very comforting in having someone else read to you, just a little though I really get into it on my own. Mayhap a little too much...

Lepplady...what a tough situation. I say he should go, he may have his issues but it's really not about him, nor is it about her (totally) they should go out of respect to her mother. I think if this were me I would desperately want my boyfriend there for support as this will most likely be very hard.

All the best.

IMHO he should, if only to support her! I'm sure it's what everyone needs (and expects) from a loved one when one is going through difficult times.

Lepplady- in thoughts and prayers. May all work out well. I also keep your mom in prayer and good vibes. We are here for you, always.

[MadamMack]

Hello dear Tet-mates.
I come to you with a heavy heart and troubled mind today.
Let me ask you girls here a hypothetical question.
If a guy has a girlfriend (he's been living with for more than 6 years) whose mother (in another state) is dying, should he take her for a visit the family set up? You know, THE visit. Probably the final one. Sure, she could probably drive herself, but should he step up and do it? If he's on vacation and won't miss any work and has no other good reason not to? Each has met the other's family many times throughout the years and nobody has any major quarrels.
If he refuses, for no good reason, should she get upset at him, or would she be over reacting because of the emotional situation?

Since they've been together so long and he truly loves her I feel that he should take her. If he chooses not to then maybe they've drifted apart during the relationship. I can't say if she should become upset or not because I don't know the whole story.

If you truly love someone you will give support in such a time even if you don't have vacation time to use and even if you do have quarrels with the family.

[LadyPain]

Here we go! I think we could all use a double dose of ooey gooey chocolate fudge brownies. (I've got some sans nuts for those of you who can't partake) enjoy!

http://www.kitchenwitchcookie.com/shop/images/walnut_fudge_brownies_0017.jpg

MMmmm... I'll take the ones without nuts, thank you. Brownies are a good thing.

Back for a short bit of a look around and then off I go again.

I was just called to go to work if I wanted the extra shifts. I had to say no because I feel like I've been kicked to sh*t and back with biker boots. I do believe I used something a little less descriptive on the phone though...

I walked the dog. She had fun. I'm bagged. At least I know she is dry now and I can get on with the rest of my day. Emphasis on rest.

Thanks again for the brownies!

BUCKWHEAT'S IN THE HOUSE

[MadamMack]

Hello everyone,

I'm feeling a little sad because it seems like people keep leaving us. Daisy's leaving and before her Whitey Appleseed left. :sad: And before that the guy in the vampire thread. I feel bad when people get offended.

I am going out of town for a few days so I won't be back till next week. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and a GREAT weekend! I'll probably check in again tonight but I might not get a chance to post. See you all later! :smile2:

((((((Good vibes and prayers to all who are in need.))))))

We'll see you when you come back and don't feel sad . . .

It's been good knowing you all.

Greetings Everyone!

When I was much younger, I was so emotionally vulnerable, every little derogatory remark directed at me or as a result of something I said or did reduced me to a quivering puddle of tears. My mother lovingly advised me to develop the "hide of a rhinoceros," the thought of which horrified me to no end. Then I realized she didn't mean to stop using moisturizers and cleansers, but to not allow other people to dominate how I felt about myself. It was a long haul from the damsel in constant distress to the much stronger individual I have become, but well worth the effort. I wish inner strength could be purchased, but alas, it is achieved. To those of you who have left us for one reason or another, you will be sorely missed. It is my fervent hope that you will know love and peace wherever your path may lead. Strive to be happy.

Thanks to everybody for your thoughts, hugs and well wishes. I'm leaving tomorrow for the drive to go see my mom.. without the tall guy who now sleeps in the next room.
I carry the warmth of the Ka-Tet as I set off on my adventure.

Please forgive my following observation as the ramblings of a ticked off soon-to-be ex girlfriend and loving, upset daughter. When I'm emotional, my tact tends to leave me.
But.
If somebody wants to leave a forum, they go. If they hang around and make a show of it, it's to kick up some drama. I hope everybody gets their (our) issues resolved and finds a way back to the Tet where so many wonderful friends can be found, but I won't be feeding into the drama.
As always...

Ms. Mod-the fad here is for kids as young as 10 to have 'boyfriends/girlfriends'. I don't know what parents are thinking! My 11 year old daughter was asked out by a guy and said no. When asked why, her immediate answer was, "Because my mom would kill me.":grinning:

The kids call it "going out" here although there's rarely any actual going out. :smile2: It's sad, isn't it, that kids don't get much time to just be kids anymore. And that they don't get the message that you can be friends with both genders without it being necessary to be a couple.

[skimom]

I volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center, and feel like I get a real scope of what too early sexualization does to kids. It's sad, and I agree that they miss out on a lot by not being able to see beyond 'coupledom'. This is one of my favorite soapboxes, and since this is not the forum for that I'll just step aside and quietly congratulate those who choose to keep their kids kidsfor as long as possible.

Hey, Cola! I've got something I want to send you (wanted to give it to you in person in London); PM me if you're interested.

[LadyPain]

Interesting discussion folks. When I was in my teens, I made the choice not to date until I was not living at home anymore because I was not going to subject any fellow to the flippin' third degree my folks would put him through. I date a guy when I lived overseas for a bit, and then when I met the man I married, my folks only found out about him when someone else congratulated my folks on my engagement. I just didn't see the need to make a big deal about it to the folks. To quote Bon Jovi... "It's my life!"

Turns out my folks liked my man better than they liked me anyways. Such is life.

I think I'll just grab a gingerale and wander for a while now...

*heads out to check out other posts*

[Luli]

I wasn't allowed to date even at 16, my mother always told me everything has its own time and place. At 16 the only thing I was allowed to 'date' were my schoolbooks, that was my job according to her :biggrin2::biggrin2: Looking back I'm glad she did what she did to keep me out of harms way!

Good morning everybody . . .I have some news that I wish to share with you.
Our Board member Tcgob (Steve) needs our good vibes today. You see, his wife is very ill and he really needs our support. I ask that you please send your good vibes out to him and his family. He's been feeling a little low lately and I think we can add a little sunshine to his blues.

Thank you . . .

Char

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jenn and Steve}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank everyone for all the well-wishes, good vibes and heart-felt sentiments. Jenn was unexpectedly discharged from the hospital Saturday afternoon even though she was not well enough to go home. With the help of my sister-in-law (an RN) I decided to take her to UAB Med Center in Birmingham. It was a good thing I did because she started feeling poorly halfway through the 45 minute drive to Birmingham. UAB admitted her almost right away and discovered that she had a partially collapsed lung after doing a chest x-ray. Oddly enough, the podunk chicken **** hospital she was in before had done a chest x-ray just that morning and found nothing. I stayed with her while they put a chest tube in to drain the fluid. I don't know when she will get out but our lives will be dramatically different when she does. She will be on a diabetic, low-sodium diet and will have to get plenty of exercise to build her heart back up.

To say all of this came at a bad time would be a gross understatement. The stress of learning a new job combined with the stress of watching the woman you married suffer is absolutely overwhelming at times. Money is very tight because I haven't been able to work many jobs and I spend most of my time worrying about how we'll make it through this month. Thats why I haven't been around much. I've been on the board some, but I usually just look at my keyboard and decide I don't feel much like posting. Reading all that you guys wrote really helped, and I'm taking this time to thank each and every one of you.

Maybe I'll put up some more animated gifs when this is all over. :wink2::biggrin2:

[JohnDalglish]

Glad you like it! :smile2:

Hi,

Oh, we do, we do. Thankee big-big for the privilege.

Oddly enough, the podunk chicken **** hospital she was in before had done a chest x-ray just that morning and found nothing. I stayed with her while they put a chest tube in to drain the fluid. I don't know when she will get out but our lives will be dramatically different when she does. She will be on a diabetic, low-sodium diet and will have to get plenty of exercise to build her heart back up.

To say all of this came at a bad time would be a gross understatement. The stress of learning a new job combined with the stress of watching the woman you married suffer is absolutely overwhelming at times. Money is very tight because I haven't been able to work many jobs and I spend most of my time worrying about how we'll make it through this month. Thats why I haven't been around much. I've been on the board some, but I usually just look at my keyboard and decide I don't feel much like posting. Reading all that you guys wrote really helped, and I'm taking this time to thank each and every one of you.

Maybe I'll put up some more animated gifs when this is all over. :wink2::biggrin2:


Hang in there and just know that you don't have to go it alone . . .

Last night was totally out-of-control at work. Tonight was slower and I had the manager's orders to work at a light pace. I can't believe I was told to take it easy! Can you believe it?

Good Monday to all. May all be safe from Mother Nature.
