The Ka-Tet Cantina

[timmers]

Good morning everyone. Poisonbat we are here for you and I think all of us are willing to lend an ear.

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all

(((((((( All Texans)))))

I heard from Charms and she is holding on. She is a little inland, so will feel the storm as we speak.

Hope SusanNorton is Ok too- that state had a lot of rains.

Gallina is OK. She managed a few posts and to contact me today. Having connection problems with the internet.

Hi Flake, I saw you peeking in today.


Good vibes to all. Herbal tea in hand and off to see the patio.

I am going to have breakfast with my brother in law this morning, it is something that the both of us did every morning with my grandpa. It was he and I that cared for him, took him to doctor appts. etc. Me and my brother in laws mornings seem empty, so we are going to spend time together. I don't know how it is going to work without my grandpa, but we are going to give it a chance. I will let you know how it goes. :bat:

Sounds like a very good idea, poisonbat. Be well.

[Charms7]

Poisonbat, keep the good memories with your grandpa as prominent in your thoughts as possible. I lost my dear mother about 17 years ago and had so many dreams of her for a year or more. But then it was like she became a part of me, a very real part of me. She is like a guardian angel watching over all of us. It is difficult to describe. But some of her many talents got passed on to me it seems.

You are in my prayers, Poisonbat. Have faith. It does get better. And we will listen to all you have to say.

I hear Thor sounding his trumpet. I may have to shut down for awhile to keep from frying my connection to you. But know I am safe and secure.

Hi Everybody! Running through to grab an iced tea on my way to soak up some sun on the patio. I'll be in my usual spot by the pool.

Hope everyone in Texas is keeping safe :)

(((Poisonbat)))

[waterlilyjaguar]

Happy Tuesday to all the Ka-Tet's and hope everyone is staying cool- it is
a really hot day in South Fla.
Going out to the patio and grab an ice tea.

[Luli]

Hi,

I hope you're all having a good day! I'll have a large glass of Lemon Iced Tea and go back to my reading corner!:smile2:

(((((Poisonbat)))))

[henrythomasgirl]

Hey Tet-Mates! Hope everyone is having a lovely day! 102 degrees here in Mississippi... so I believe I shall lounge by the pool for awhile!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Yay--today is my Friday! Going to a seminar on "Music as Medicine" tomorrow and then to San Francisco to watch a (They Might Be) Giants game against Manny and his new pals. Hey, it beats working.

Hope you all are well and happy, taking shelter from the storms.

Large hot coffee and a banana muffin please. Have a great day!


(((((Tetmates, in need or not)))))

[LadyPain]

It got warm here today. I think I will do a bit of planning ahead for the Cantina...

If the first one to come in the morning would be so kind as to add the tea bags, I'll put some giant jugs of filtered water out on the patio for sun tea. I'll leave the sugar on the counter and lemon slices in the fridge.

[Cowboy]

Good morning Tet-Mates! Hope all is well for you in whatever corner of the world you are in.
Have a safe and wonderful day.
I"m heading out by the pool.

[Gelata]

Good morning everyone.
Last week my father gave me a beautiful present. It's a blank book, to be used as a diary, or notebook... I love this kind of things, but this one is specially beautiful, because the cover reproduce a painting by an american artist called Laurel Burch. You probably know her, but in case you don't you can learn about her here :http://www.laurelburch.com/index.html. I think the pictures are beautiful. The one reproduced in my book is Fantastic Cats, and I love it. Hope you like it too.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone!!!

All tickety boo here thankfully, except the damned depressing weather (cold, overcast and raining!)

(((((Poisonbat)))))

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

Large Irish coffee por favor, y CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Spideyman]

Good Wednesday to all.

Kim enjoy your mini vacation.
Gelata, that is wonderful. Yes, I've seen her art and it is magnificent.
LadyPain, sun tea- love it. Tea bags are placed as directed.

Hope the weather improves for all. May the heat calm and Mother Nature just chill out for awhile.

Off to bean bags.

I will take some of that sun tea, and I brought some honey for it if anyone else wants some. My first thoughts this morning were not good ones, but I was able to change my train of thought so that is an improvement. It was strange going to breakfast without my grandpa. Although we tried not to just focus on him and his death, our conversations always seemed to lead there. Most of the tension is between my two cousins who rarely ever even saw my grandpa unless they wanted money and me and my sister's husband. They are so concerned about getting what they feel entitled to, while I was happy to have just his favorite old straw hat and his cane. Just something to remember him by. My brother in law and I are holding this family together, and we are getting tired of the drama. None of my family gets along with my mom, and she is the one who inherited everything, so needless to say, I am caught in the middle as well. I just wish everyone would get along and this would be over. I will be on the patio or may even take a dip in the pool later. :bat:

[Spideyman]

((((((((((((poisonbat)))))))))))) You have a safe place here.

[Cowboy]

I would love some of that sun tea please...woo hoo.

[kisun]

Good morning all. I'm planning on getting a haircut today, so wish me luck (if you want to) :biggrin2:.

That's one of the hardest parts when parents/grandparents pass away. You miss them but everybody just wants to worry about the stuff. I know when my dad or stepmom die it will be BIG fight. I plan to stay as far away as possible.

((((((((((poisonbat))))))))))) we're here whenever you need us.

I brought a big plate of brownies to share. Enjoy! I'll be out by the pool finishing my book.

Have a great day everyone.:smile2:

I'm so sorry you're caught in the middle of a family fight. Sometimes I can't believe how people can be so materialistic when they just lost someone much more precious than any inheritance. Hang in there, keep your Grandfather always in your heart!

Why a death seems to bring out the worst in families is a sad mystery. Bless you and your brother-in-law for keeping things together. Let yourself heal at your own pace.

[Kim L.]

Good Luck, Kisun!:wink2:

AWLS! Have a great haircut.

[Sundrop]

Hi Everybody,
Skipping through on my way to the patio---I'd love some of that sun tea it looks so cool & refreshing!
Kisun--let us know how the haircut goes
(((Poisonbat)))

[waterlilyjaguar]

Hello to all the Ka-Tets and another scorcher here in Fla. Hope we have an after-
noon shower to cool things off a bit.
((((poisonbat))))
Kisun good luck with the haircut.

Terrible news this afternoon--8 firefighters and a pilot killed in a helicopter crash. The firefighters were part of a crew battling the fires at the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, about 215 mnies northwest of Sacramento (CA). Four people are hospitalized in serious or critical conditions with burns.

Your prayers, good thoughts, good vibes are all welcome.

Buckwheat's In The House

[Terry B]

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Why does everyone have to fight over material things. When my dad passed I got some photos and a ring he wore that was worth pretty much nothing. The photos are the most important to me. Helps with the memories. Hang in there poisonbat.

[Charms7]

Gelata, that is truly amazing! I love stuff like that, too!

Poisonbat, please take good care of yourself and cherish your memories.

I hope you like your haircut, Kisun!

(((((All Tet-Mates)))))

Where's Buckwheat? If someone sees him before I do, tell him to mind his slithering manners.

[Billy Bumbler]

Morning everyone! Time to curl up on the patio with an earl gray and a book methinks. Hopefully its warm and sunny in the cantina as opposed to grey,cold, wet and windy around the UK.

(((((poisonbat)))))

[LadyPain]

*wanders into the Cantina at 3am her time, 6am in Sai King's time zone*

Can't sleep yet. I have had to stay up while my guy works on finishing an overdue project. I'm always worried that he'll get hurt and pass out. He hurt himself one night last year and I was so glad I stayed up late because he blacked out and landed on his back after sending a drill into his hand, and started to choke because his airway was blocked. If I had been asleep, I might have lost him. I rolled him over so he could breathe, fixed up his hand and felt so bloody lucky.

I just wish that I was off in dreamland right now. I am going to pay for this so bad tomorrow/today/whatever. I can't pull all-nighters anymore and expect to bounce back like a 16-year old.

I think I'll just have another cup of tea and wait around until mine is ready for a bit of sleep.

*curls up in a chair in the corner, hoping to stay away for a little while longer*

If I am still here in the morning, just toss a blanket over me to block out the light... :sleepy:

[Gelata]

Good morning.
My thread -'I didn't catch you', has been forgotten for some time, but it doesn't mean that I have no more doubts (not at all!). So, if you're so kind, could you have a look at it, please? Thank you. It's a bit difficult to find it now, BTW.
And BTW again, my doubt is about something John said, just in case his words are copyrighted (lol).

[Cowboy]

Sun tea please....thank you.

Good morning people. Hope you have a great day.:smile2:

[poisonbat]

Good morning everyone, I am glad to be here in the cantina. I get the stitches out of my hand today. I will be glad to have them gone. I am still waking up to scary thoughts, but going to sleep is easier. I have rented this house for a long time from both my grandpa and my mom, but she called me yesterday and told me that now that my grandpa is gone, she wants to simply put me on the deed. I didn't know what to say, then she told me that she has learned from her doctors that her liver is failing. She has to see a specialist. I told her that if it came down to it, I would give her half of mine if I were a match. She told me that she would not do that, she would never put my life at risk to save hers. I was heart broken at the time, but she told me to ask myself, would you want one of your kids to do this for you? I have to admit, no, I would never risk my child's life to possibly save my own. How many hardships can one person bear? I will sit quietly with all my friends around me on the patio. :bat:

Stay strong . PoisonBat, don't let the greed of others hurt your grieving process. They won't ever be able to get their hands on the most precious of item anyway- the memories you have of your Grandfather. (((((PoisonBat))))

You are definitely getting your plateful of hardships. You are right about a mother not wanting to put their child's life at risk- but what a sad situation. I am sure it warmed your Mother's heart to know that you would be willing to go through it though. Prayers for you and your Mom.

Another sunrise. I am glad to be in the cantina this morning, so nice to be with my friends. I will take a large coffee with some of that flavored coffee creamer this morning, and kick my feet up out on the patio. I don't feel like thinking today. I do believe my thinker is broken. I missed seeing Buckwheat yesterday, I think I was in the pool. Have to say hi to him next week. My step son finished his summer school yesterday, and got an A in the class. He has wound up taking over my painting project, and only has a small place left to paint. He is being such a good kid, I really hope it lasts. :bat:

Ha ha....so it could have been worse! See, I could have used your reasoning on Saturday.:biggrin2:

[dividedgrlofmine]

First of all, I'd like to send my condolences to Shasta's kitty and hope everything heals quickly and well.

Secondly, it's so good to be home! I miss Maine a lot, though - it was seriously the best vacation I've ever taken. Our hotel was more like an inn and was the cutest place ever. We got lobster twice and spent two days in Bar Harbor and two days in Bangor. But now I'll get to the good stuff. :biggrin2:

The first day in Bangor, we stopped by Bett's Bookstore and he was kind enough to give us a map of all the King-related places in Bangor. We went to the baseball field King built for all the kids in the community and to Hayford's Field (I think that's what it's called) which is mentioned in "Thinner." We went to the Standpipe mentioned in "IT" and the birdbath across from it which caused so much trouble for Stan. Also, we saw the canal from "IT" and went to the Barrens where the lucky seven played. It was so creepy down there! I was totally waiting for Pennywise to reach out and grab me. lol Equally as creepy was the giant Paul Bunyan statue that scares the hell out of Richie in the book. I didn't even want to take a picture of it. Stu, the owner of the bookstore, even said it gives him the heebie jeebies. We went to where "Pet Sematary" was filmed and met the caretaker who showed us all kinds of pictures from the set, like Gage's tombstone and the truck which ruined the lives of the Creed family. We saw where they filmed "Graveyard Shift," and where "Bag of Bones" opens up.

But our greatest and best find was the real Pet Sematary. I remembered reading somewhere, I think in the introduction of the book, that King lived in Orrington on a certain road when inspiration struck him. My friend and I took a ride down to Orrington and didn't really find anything. However, everyone in Maine had been so nice and so awesome that when my friend suggested stopping to ask at a gas station, I figured it wasn't a bad idea. The gas station we found was like a super gas station with a bank in the back. I made a bee line for the employees behind the desk and asked if they knew where it was. Not only did they know, but they actually called the woman who lives there and she said she'd meet us at the end of the driveway! It was also her 80th birthday. She was a real firecracker when we met her, and she let us go back and check out the real Pet Sematary! She also told us that her house number was originally 666 but she changed it to 664...and still had a Pet Sematary in her backyard and Stephen King across the street. Hahahaha.

All in all, Maine was amazing and I really suggest everyone go and visit. The people there are all extremely nice and helpful and the scenery is simply breathtaking.

[dividedgrlofmine]

OH! And I took tons of pictures that I will post somewhere so everyone can see.

[poisonbat]

So sorry Shasta, My kitty is my world. I would hate to see him limping around. My prayers go out for a speedy recovery. I am up to my eyeballs in work. I did finish my front room this weekend, it looks beautiful, but the rest of my house is a horrible mess. My truck is loaded with books that will be donated to our library here in town, and some recycled. No one wants to take old encyclopedias, so they must be recycled. Very sad, I did many grade school reports out of them. But the world has moved on. :bat:

[hipmamajen]

dividedgrl, that sounds like a great vacation, I can't wait to see your photos!

[mstay]

OH! And I took tons of pictures that I will post somewhere so everyone can see.

Can't wait for the pics dividedgirl! It sounds like it was a ton of fun!

[LadyPain]

Cowboy, I was lucky enough not to get a 'coupon' when I used to speed. I used to work in a Tim Hortons and the cops would come in for their coffee. I worked graveyards and I would let them in during the hours when it was supposed to be only drive-thru service. I spoiled them, hence, they let me speed. I did quit speeding when I stopped working there (serious workplace injury) years ago because I knew I wouldn't be able to get to know the new cops in town. *wicked grin*

Shasta, I am so sorry for your kitty's foot. At least kitty gets to be high. It's not all bad. If you want something alcoholic, I could point out a few of our Listerine drinkers in town here. If you want a drink.... have a vodka shooter on me - I keep the bottle in the freezer so it feels like a sweet syrup going down.

[Volic]

Shasta, I am so sorry about your kitten! Many healing wishes to her!:smile2:

Thanks for the well wishes! Stella (the cat) says thanks too! And LadyPain, I will happily take you up on that drink!

Oh no! I would totally take them if you were around here. I use the photos for school stuff for my kids, and a lot of people use old hardcovers to make altered books, but I've never had a chance to do that.

I'm sorry you're having to cart them off. :(

[LadyPain]

*wander in late at night after work, heads for the fridge and grabs a coke*

Not a bad night at all. I hope tomorrow is just as nice. I think I'll just go out and sit on the patio out back. We are going into the Perseids in the next day and there might be some early ones. :smile2:

As long as he didn't say 'Tak', Cowboy! LOL.



:eek2: Let's imagine the mentioned trooper was half Danish then there would have been no need to freak out had he said Tak! :oops: In the good ol' Danish language Tak means Thank You. :grinning:

though I myself would probably panic if someone outside the Danish borders used the word Tak........... lol

Sounds like a few of us have had some great vacations... I'm so glad that the natives were friendly in Maine. Northeasterners get a bum rap sometimes. Although I still wouldn't recommend trying to merge or change lanes in downtown Boston. It is not for the faint of heart. :eek2:

Other than day trips, we only have one more long vacation coming up... Our annual Labor Day Invitational up in the White Mountains. I'm really looking forward to that one.

[poisonbat]

I wish I could have given those books to someone who would have treasured them, there were 300 lbs of books that got recycled. I also gave 3 boxes of books and videos to the library, I felt better about that. I have to go back to my grandpa's today and start cleaning out the kitchen. It will take some time, there is a lot of things in there. I still find myself calling out to my grandpa when I open the door. I keep expecting him to answer me, but of course that is not going to happen. But for now, I will take a large green tea and sit in one of the bean bags with my friends. Thanks to all of you for "being there" for me in my time of need. :bat:

Hey you guys. Needed an SK fix as i'm having a rubbish day.

I woke up to find that my dog had been sick on my bed (actually on my bed whilst I was asleep!) :eek2: In work i'm in charge of doing a marketing campaign and have had to print out, sign, fold, stuff envelopes and add stamps to nearly 300 letters!

All is well here, Marianne, Kareen's got 17 days to go and counting the minutes (and is probably the only person in the UK thankful for the lousy summer), and she and David (who's working all hours to save up time) are both well and have been in their own flat for a few months, and Lisa is excellent and being a domestic goddess these days LOL.

Ahh, college life. What year are you, where are you going (if you don't mind saying).

Afternoon all. I think I'll have a cuppa mint tea- my tummy has been off since yesterday when I got a letter from Children's Hospital reminding us of our 6 mos. check- up for my daughter's Orthopedic- I could have sworn we just went!!- I hate these check-ups, they are so scary. They have to measure the spondi ( spondiolithesis) - a crack in her spine- to see if it moved and if it has we are talking surgery. And if we do that surgery then her neurologist will want to try and fix her tethered spinal cord while they are down there and that is a risky surgery in that by trying to fix the tethered cord they could make it worse( a tethered cord is one that is attached to something at the bottom instead of dangling free - it can re tether and scar and be worse after surgery. They don't even know if hers is really tethered as it just looks to be hanging low and that is a sign of tethering and with her syndrome it is very common. There is no way of knowing beforehand except if she were to show signs of nerve damage- like incontinence, change in gait, pain.- which , thank God - she is not BUT again, if they go in to fix the spondi- they will probably push to fix the tethered cord. Surgery on her spine scares me to pieces. I am so friggin' worried. and I HATE this ortho. doctor. Sometimes we go in and he's all relaxed and like ' yeah, it looks fine, let's be like "Missouri" about this- he actually said that and I had no idea what he meant- I guess it means don't jump into action or something.- and other times he's like" This spondi really has me worried and we should really think about surgery if it moves any bit more" - but he is THE doctor for Rubenstein- Taybi and ortho. - he has done a lot of research and written papers. He freaks me out and I need to stay calm for my girl. Sorry I am rambling. I am just so worried. Please send prayers.

That's great news, Pat! Did she say how her daughter is doing?

[LOTUS]

Hi Everyone,
I've not had much time on the message board recently due to a rather hectic personal life, so I thought I'd better drop by the Cantina and say Hi, and just to let you all know I have missed reading the posts and will try to catch up with developments as quickly as possible. Oh, and I think this might be my 1st post in the cantina as well!!!

Kindest Regard to you all, Brummie.
Welcome back Brummie!, was wondering where you were. Welcome to the Cantina choose your poison and find a seat, or play darts or whatever. Just look out for Buckwheat on Thursdays, he's really quite harmless... as long as you see him coming. :eek2:

[mstay]

Great pictures dividedgrl! Thanks for sharing.:smile2:

[Volic]

Good morning to all!:love:

Good to see you back Brummiyid!:smile2:
You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers Brownmouse!:love:
Thank you dividedgrlofmine for sharing the pictures with us!:smile2:

[Gelata]

Great pictures indeed, dividedgirl! Thank you!

[LadyPain]

*walks in and checks the clock... 12.40 am where she lives... heads for the fridge and starts looking for munchies*

Hey guys. Work was absolutely friggin' batcrap tonight. It was n.u.t.s. in there. I am so glad to be home. I have only one day off so I will have to make the best use of it.

Last night was a bit of a downer. Too much light to see the Perseids very well, and I stayed up until the moon set in order to do it. Tonight, I won't bother. There are too many lights in my area. One year, my guy and I went up a local mountain and parked up there. We sat in the dark with many other folks in their cars and watched the meteor shower. The cops drove through with their jack lights and blinded us for a while, but our sight came back. That was a wonderful night for meteors. Tonight is cloudy.

Oh well. Maybe next year.

*grabs a sandwich and a coke and heads out*

I'll see you after I get some sleep. Night, folks!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Terrific pics, dividedgirl, thankee for posting them.

Hi Brummie, nice to see you, hope all is well with you and yours.

(((((Brownmouse & daughter))))))

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

(((((All caught up in the fracas between Georgia and Russia)))))

Large Irish coffee please, and a CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all. May the sun shine for those that desire sun, and rains be present for those who need it. May all recover from ills quickly.

I see feathers in the Cantina. LuLu are you OK?

The bean bags look very inviting and I see a few have gathered there already. Herbal tea in hand.


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

[Cowboy]

Morning Folks!!! Hope you all are having a great day.

Any more of that iced tea left???? :smile2:

[Kim L.]

Tickety boo!

Oh, good. Looking forward to seeing her on the MB soon.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Hi, Brummieyid, good to see you back!

(((((Brownmouse and daughter)))))

Supposed to be 101 F by the afternoon, but it's in the 60s now, so I'll take a large hot coffee please and it's off to the beanbags.

[Gillie]

"As long as he didn't say 'Tak', Cowboy! LOL."

I have a sudden urgent need to reread (listen to) Desperation!!!! :smile2:

[poisonbat]

Good morning all, Brownmouse I know how hard those Dr. appts. can be. I used to dread them. Surgery is a scary thing. When my son had his surgery, I was a nervous wreck. He had to have corrective surgery on his left arm and hand. I can only imagine how terrified I would be if it would have been his spine. My prayers and good vibes are with you my friend.

My mother and her husband are coming down this weekend to do some work in my grandpa's house. I am not looking forward to this. I can not stand my mothers husband, and neither can the rest of my family. He is a snoop and feels entitled to anything and everything he sees. He has been known to come to MY house and snoop through boxes in my garage. I can't stand this man. He was trying to talk to me about something yesterday on the phone, I basically ignored him and asked to speak to my mom. He is just a creep. He is also the reason for the division in my family, but that is a long long story.

I will not ramble on, Thank you all for being there for me. I have such a social phobia that I do not have any "physical" friends, I have special cyber friends though, and thus I really do appreciate all of you. :bat:

[Billy Bumbler]

Hey everyone.

No more icky presents from my dog thankfully, but he is feeling very sorry for himself at the moment. I've had to fast him for 24 hours so he keeps sitting next to the cupboard where his food is stored and whimpering! He should be used to it by now though. He is 4 now but when he was a pup he ate a packet of paracetamol which caused damage to his liver and stomach. We have to be very careful what we give him to eat but every so often his 'digestion'still plays up. As the mess he left yesterday was on my bed I am very thankful that this time it was from the north and not the southern region :eek2: :biggrin2:

I'm ok for gin today MrsSmeej :biggrin2: and as its miserable and cold outside a nice cup of tea would go down a treat.

((((((Brownmouse and daughter))))))

[Spideyman]

Brummieyid good to see you back again. Sit a spell.

dividedgrlofmine thank you for sharing the pictures.

poisonbat there are many cyber friends here on the SKMB. Take a deep breath and we'll send good vibes to you for when you mom and her husband visit. May it be quick and calm.

Hi,

Rumours abound that Purrrtricia got her drunk, Spidey.

Long days and pleasant nights

[henrythomasgirl]

Ahh, college life. What year are you, where are you going (if you don't mind saying).

Afternoon all. I think I'll have a cuppa mint tea- my tummy has been off since yesterday when I got a letter from Children's Hospital reminding us of our 6 mos. check- up for my daughter's Orthopedic- I could have sworn we just went!!- I hate these check-ups, they are so scary. They have to measure the spondi ( spondiolithesis) - a crack in her spine- to see if it moved and if it has we are talking surgery. And if we do that surgery then her neurologist will want to try and fix her tethered spinal cord while they are down there and that is a risky surgery in that by trying to fix the tethered cord they could make it worse( a tethered cord is one that is attached to something at the bottom instead of dangling free - it can re tether and scar and be worse after surgery. They don't even know if hers is really tethered as it just looks to be hanging low and that is a sign of tethering and with her syndrome it is very common. There is no way of knowing beforehand except if she were to show signs of nerve damage- like incontinence, change in gait, pain.- which , thank God - she is not BUT again, if they go in to fix the spondi- they will probably push to fix the tethered cord. Surgery on her spine scares me to pieces. I am so friggin' worried. and I HATE this ortho. doctor. Sometimes we go in and he's all relaxed and like ' yeah, it looks fine, let's be like "Missouri" about this- he actually said that and I had no idea what he meant- I guess it means don't jump into action or something.- and other times he's like" This spondi really has me worried and we should really think about surgery if it moves any bit more" - but he is THE doctor for Rubenstein- Taybi and ortho. - he has done a lot of research and written papers. He freaks me out and I need to stay calm for my girl. Sorry I am rambling. I am just so worried. Please send prayers.

I'm a freshman at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Missisippi. :) And (((brownmouse))) I'll be praying for your daughter and for you as well.

OK, OK it's true. However I did not pour tomato beer down her throat, as a matter of fact she brought the first 6 pack. It's all good though, I ain't ashamed of our friendship. I understand her and she understands me... She just wants to be a good bird.

Hi,

Just can't help feeling that there's something innately dubious about a kitteh getting a parrot drunk though. Just a hint of possible ulterior motive mayhap?

Welcome back.

[brownmouse]

Hi , thanks so much for the prayers and hugs- I should mention that the appointment isn't until next Friday- but I am a great one for worrying ahead of time. I feel like I am spinning a bit out of control. My daughter is starting middle school on the 25th- ugh middle school- it's a typical middle school- but she will be in the special needs program and have an aide but she had been in the same school since preschool (a typical elementary) and now she's with a whole new set of teachers, she has a LOCKER and a SCHEDULE and kids from different el. schools will be there and they won't get her and she is nervous and acting out and I am nervous and trying not to look it and when we went to visit it there were football players and cheerleaders and they are so big and so mature and my daughter still likes Barney and Dora the Explorer- how are we going to make this work? And then this dr.'s appointment has me twisted up. I am so worried. I will probably take a break from the board , my mind is jumpy and weird but please say prayers -please pray that Sophie will get along well in school , that the teachers and aides will be nice to her and that her spine is OK. Thanks everyone and God bless.

BUCKWHEAT'S IN THE HOUSE

*brings in a bucket of mice, covering it with a large, old atlas to keep them in until Buckwheat slithers on it*

Nobody bump that, okay? We don't want an infestation of rodents here.

I think I will just grab a couple of vodka shooters and head out. Much to do still today and the sun is going down. Running out of hours in which to do things seems to be what I always do.

Have a great night, everyone!

[Lepplady]

I love that this place stays open so late. Some nights I just don't sleep (pill or no pill). It's nice to be able to meander in, pick out a good book, brew up some hot tea and relax for a while.
If I could just keep that blasted snake from slithering up my leg!

Wow... it is almost two in the morning here where I am. I just finished my 'to do' list. I am so bagged. Between smokable pain meds and Benadryl, I hope to sleep tonight. Much to do tomorrow before I go to work.

Today was a good day. I think I will grab one last coke before I crash for the night.

See you all tomorrow.

(Gee it is nice having more computer time now that my guy has gotten a new comp. I get this one almost 100 percent of the time, now and once his files are transferred, I will be thrilled with this laptop/frisbee. Ick, he hadn't defragged the thing since APRIL! It took ages to defrag it tonight.)

I understand how you feel about the school thing. My son was so tormented and physically beaten and bruised at public school, that he became closed and distant. Kids are cruel. I hope that being in a special class will keep her from these monsters. My son is physically challenged, not mentally challenged so he was in the general population of the school. We finally had to send him to a private school due to his disabilities. He flourished there, no rocks were thrown at him, he was never beat up because he was different. I will pray that she has a wonderful experience in school, and that her spine is ok. Much love to you and Sophie.:bat:

[poisonbat]

Good morning all, I am glad to see Buckwheat. My niece's baby shower is this weekend, I am looking forward to the baby. A new life coming into this world will help fill the void of the one I lost. I helped my cousin yesterday get the old piano out of my grandpa's house, it looks really strange in there without it. So many things are being removed that the house is starting to echo. It is all hardwood floors in the house, no carpet at all. I don't like being there alone at all. I don't really know why, but I don't. :bat:

Buckwheat is our Thursday snake. He visits and sometimes can be found hanging off someone's neck like a feather boa. I am content with just bringing him mice. I won't wear a snake unless it is already dead and made into boots.

(Sorry Buckwheat!)

[LadyPain]

Could anyone with good energy to spare please send some for my husband??? His computer lost an eight page article he was overdue on and only recovered the first two pages for him. He's walking around in a state of shock and has to do a rewrite TONIGHT for the whole thing.

I told him not to trust the autosave function. Manually save, and if it is important, burn it onto a disk and make print copies. A computer in the past lost THREE MONTHS of my writing once. I learned my lesson years ago the hard way.

[the great kilted one]

Hello all!

Anyone got a drink to spare? I could sure use one...

Ah, but I hope you all are doing well. Much love

Oh, and for anyone who might be going through a rough spot, I'm right there with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. (((Brownmouse)))

[waterlilyjaguar]

Buckwheat is the resident snake. He gets pampered and has all his goodies to eat
and generally lounges out by the patio for all to see.

Good Morning, Everyone

It's actually 11 pm now, you're all asleep, and the arms of Morpheus are far away from me.

Tomorrow I have to go to a meeting AT LUNCH, which means I don't get my Friday treat: taking my read-at-work book to the local pizza joint & read for 45 minutes without being responsible for anybody or anything.

I hate being a grownup.

Sorry for sulking. Can I have my coffee please?

LuLu I'll try to keep Madam busy and I'll send someone to take that dog collar off. Diaper too.

Hi to all the strangers who are peeking in the windows. Come on in.. it's a fun place to be.

Herbal tea and over to the bean bags waiting for Kim.

A safe and wonderful weekend to all.

Well, off to pack up the car..... head to Western Civ for about two seconds so my prof can go over the classroom rules and regulations and syllabus..... then home free!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!

I'll take a HUGE coffee, please. Extra cream and sugar. :biggrin2:

I have just about worked myself to death this week. My mom will be here tomorrow, and I guess I can hand over some responsibility to her. She will be here for a week, so that should give me time to get some of MY things done. My son last night was playing with our kitten Rayne and got nicked on his finger. He pulled out a bottle of Mercurochrome and started to put it on, Rayne thought he was still playing and knocked the whole bottle onto my carpet. We spent hours trying to clean it up, but alas there will always now be a pink spot in the middle of my tan carpet. Anyone got any ideas on how to get it out? We tried Resolve, Oxyclean, and regular cleaner on it, got a lot of it out, but it is still an ugly site on my carpet that I spent 6 hours cleaning just last weekend.:bat:

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope everyone has an eventful and entertaining, yet safe, weekend. I'm a little embarrassed to say that tonight I'm going to a Backstreet Boys concert. What can I say? Old habits die hard.

I'll have a coffee and rush out the door since I'll be running around all day today beforehand. Trying to get all your financial aid in order for school is a real pain.

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

And I'm too sexy for this song

Good morning, little Lulu

[Kim L.]

I have used hydrogen peroxide on stains, but you have to test it out in a corner somewhere so you know how it will react with the carpet first.

I've always found area rugs to be the best solution. :grinning:

Have a great weekend everyone.

[Spideyman]

Just want to wish everyone a great weekend. Stress free and filled with happiness.

Glad the drink helped Kim. Get a little down time if you can.

Hi,

Yes, I was just thinking that a strategically placed rug probably the best answer too.

Or you could pour Mercurochrome over the rest of the carpet, then spend hours attempting to remove it only to have it fade to the same shade of light pink. or you could just use a rug. :smile2:

[henrythomasgirl]

Okay, so who can tell me about ghosts? I have just moved and so far everyone in my house (including the cat) has gotten hurt in bizarre accidents. A coffee maker exploded glass and hot coffee all over my husband, my roommate fell while standing still and bruised her ankle badly, my other cat freaked out while laying on me for no reason and I'm scratched all to hell, and things keep randomly breaking for no reason. HELP!!! What do I do????

[Volic]

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:blush::blush: So many treats for me, so many warm words - I am HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you dear friends!!!!!:love::love::love:
