The Ka-Tet Cantina

[Cowboy]

*slips into the Cantina late at night, exhausted after a brutal day at work*

Don't mind me, I'm just going to take that bottle of Stoli out of the freezer and sit off in a corner to sketch for a while. I'll be quiet.

*grabs a shot glass and heads into the corner the furthest away from the door*

Sorry to hear you had a brutal day at work....the sketching and Stoli should help....we will try to keep it down to a low roar. :biggrin2:

I was supposed to take this weekend off, but it did not work out that way for me or my husband. On Saturday we had to meet with the realtor that is selling my grandpa's house, she was supposed to meet with us at 9am, she did not show up until after 2pm. I do not like this realtor at all, but I did it for my mom, who I would do anything for. On Sunday, we had made plans with a friend for her to come over to my grandpa's and pick up a few things, should only take 20 minutes or so. This did not happen either. My friend brought along someone to help her and her husband load up their treasures, and they called two friends and so on and so on, wound up being there all day in 100* temps. So I will take my coffee and kick up my tired feet on the patio, maybe even take a dip in the pool if anyone cares to join me.:bat:

[Volic]

Hello to everyone and may the start of the week be good for you!:smile2:

[mstay]

Happy Monday to all! I hope you have a great week.

Thanks for the bagels Spidey! I'll take onion with a schmear of cream cheese.:smile2:

Brummieyid - do you have a recipe for that Beef & Bean soup? It sounds good.

I think I will join you as I am still feeling a little fried after yesterday at work. Mind you, I can't swim, so I will just sit on the edge of the pool and let my feet dangle in the water.

*grabs a couple of cold Cokes and her sunglasses*

Meet you out there shortly.

Lundi, Lunes, Monday...in any language, it's a rude awakening. Being able to chat with the members here does make it much better, though :)

Time for the afternoon tea and biscuit folks! :smile2: I'm sitting on the porch taking in the noontime sun...

[BRUMMIEYID]

Brummieyid - do you have a recipe for that Beef & Bean soup? It sounds good.

Hi,
With any soup you need a good base to start with, so I usually make a few litres of stock in advance (which can be freezed). I tend to use a good vegetable stock for my soups.
Start by adding some Onions, Carrots and Celery in a thick bottomed pan and sweating with a little Olive oil. Once softened add 2 litres of water (or enough to make what you need) Then add vegetables and herbs of choice. I tend to use- Leeks, Cabbage, Fennell Bulbs, Garlic, Fresh Thyme, Rosemary Parsley and Bay leaves. Also add Black pepper, salt and if you want add some chilli's to add some heat! I tend to simmer this for at least 4 hours and then pour the reduced liquid through a strainer. Let this stand for a while and then skim off any scum that has formed on the surface.

Beef and Bean soup. Gently fry off some Beef mince in a little olive oil (or boil if prefered). In a saucepan once boiling simmer some beans (if using fresh kidney beans or Canelloni beans remember to soak overnight) for about half an hour (or until tender). Drain off the beans then add the vegetable stock and bring back to the boil. Cook for a further 10 minutes then add the cooked beef. Cover and simmer adding salt and pepper to taste.
You can take half of the beans cooked and blend if you prefer this will give the soup a creamier texture. Cook for another 10 to 20 minutes and then serve to a bowl. Sprinkled with a little Parmesan and served with hot crusty bread this soup is fantastic.

I'm sorry but I tend to add ingredients by the handful and don't weigh anything, so Its as much as you think you will need and of course whatever beans you like..

Hope this is ok.

[mstay]

Thanks Brummieyid! I will definitely try it. Is beef mince the same as ground beef(hamburger)?

[BRUMMIEYID]

Thanks Brummieyid! I will definitely try it. Is beef mince the same as ground beef(hamburger)?

Yeah, I think so..... Its beef thats been put through a Mincer. It breaks up well in soup so you get lots of little pieces of meat and not big clumps!!!

[LOTUS]

Hi,all!!!
Have a great week!!!
Spidey,I think I need some of your famous herbal teas - I am a bit sick at the moment,but nothing to worry about.:biggrin2:

[waterlilyjaguar]

That recipe sounds great Brummie, will have to try it.
For all the fellow Floridians, we dodged another bullet, yes, Ike is heading away
from us and what a relief. Everyone was going nuts stocking up on supplies and
just running around in a panic. Glad we can breathe for a bit until the next big one
comes this way.
Will head out to the patio and just chill out for awhile. No more storms for awhile:biggrin2:

[LadyPain]

Hey folks... what a day. For a day off, it was crap. The only high point was having a nap curled up with the dog. I am exhausted and tired and seriously paying for taking in a bit too much sun yesterday.

Perhaps I will just make a cup of tea and go sit out side to look at the stars tonight. I saw a shooting star last night. Maybe I will see one again tonight.

[the great kilted one]

Good morning to all, and to all a good night.
Phew, what a Monday. I'm exhausted!

[Spideyman]

Good Morning and may this Tuesday do you all well.

Getting a few clouds from Ike today, but that is OK. Holding all in continued prayers along the gulf coast of USA.


Critters appear to be doing very well. See a new shipment of "hay" has arrived.

Herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central.

Take care all.

Happy Good Morning to you all! Any golf fans out there???? The Ryder Cup is making my life really difficult right now:glare: Personally, I find golf to be a waste of good horse pasture.

Large hot coffee to go, please, and off to work. Bye!

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

Firstly, there are many (can you say plethora?) pics of Jennifer Anne available on David's site - go to www.bebo.com then David Dalglish.

Secondly, I've just opened a new Social Group, called

Stephen King Day 2

Where we can discuss and coordinate our celebrations for the 21st. All welcome obviously.

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

Large Irish coffee please, and a shade grown, free trade, CFC por mi novia.

[poisonbat]

I think the song Manic Monday sums up yesterday. I barely had time to breathe, but today should be better. It was strange however, I ran into an ex boyfriend of mine that I haven't seen in 10 years yesterday. He came up to me and put his arm around me and started to kiss me. I wasn't even sure who he was at first so I struggled away. He has changed so much, I thought he was just a overly friendly stranger until he spoke to me. Believe me, I still didn't want him to hug or kiss me, but I was polite. I told him that I had gotten married and that seemed to take the wind out of his sails. He wanted to give me his phone number, and I told him that I didn't think my husband would be crazy about me having an ex boyfriends phone number in my phone. My thoughts were " why would I call you anyway?" :glare: I knew when I chose to move back to Yucaipa that I would run into some of my old "friends" but these are not nostalgic moments for me, there is a long explanation for this, but I wont go into that now.

Come on LadyPain, I will teach you how to swim. I used to be a certified lifeguard and have taught many how to swim, it will be fun.:bat:

[Sundrop]

Good morning Y'all!!

Ladypain & Lotus, I hope you've gotten some much deserved rest and are feeling better today.

Poisonbat, I know how you feel with the ex-boyfriend thing--I live in the same town as some of my ex-boyfriends, they know that I'm happily married but they still act like they have some sort of irresistible charisma. Why is it that they think that we would even consider seeing or phoning them again?? Hang in there my friend. :)

[Gelata]

Hi all.
I'd like you to see some of the the pictures of a young Spanish artist. His name is Antonio Tomé, and I think he's really good. Since most of you like painting -I think so- I'd like to know your opinion. Hope you like them. Thank you.

Come on LadyPain, I will teach you how to swim. I used to be a certified lifeguard and have taught many how to swim, it will be fun.:bat:

LOL, I took years of swimming lessons and struggled through them because I am just a sinker. I go down like a stone. Too much muscle mass. I won't even go into the water at a lake without a life jacket on. When I was about 19, I almost drowned. Now, I just stick to the edge or stay on shore.

Lessons never hurt though...

[n8v_outlaw]

Lol LadyPain... I am about 200 pounds of mostly muscle with little fat.... I know about sinking. I am doing fine, just trying to tame my mom's cat. Surprised she hasn't scratched or bitten me like her sister has. Though Jynxs is the little devil and I just love her. She has been great company through these last two weeks when I wasn't on my med's. I am back on my med's now, but Jynxs and I still cuddle. She makes buscits a lot, and purrs really loud O_O. Ghost will surprise me once and a while, appears on my feet when I wake up to move. She purrs and it sounds like a coffee pot. They are both calico and siamese mixed. I believe they must have linx in them as well because the long tuff's of fur coming out of their ears as well off the top. I am going to visit mom in jail today and calm her down a bit.
Sad news, I am letting go of the love for my wife. I no longer have a wife, but I told her we could be friends. We have our son and a friendship, that much is all I can see. It cause me too much pain to stay in love with her. So, I am moving on and I hope we can get along fine enough for our son. I told her I don't care for the future, we cannot control it. The future is not permanent like the past and rapid fading present. Here i am jabbering my jaw off. I have some time before I go visit my mom, maybe I will go see how my dad is doing.

Hi Everyone,
I have had a terrible day today.
I had to have a troublesome Wisdom Tooth pulled yesterday, and I have been in pain since. The pain killers help, but S**t, as soon as they wear off the throbbing pain in my jaw is excrutiating, its giving me a migraine as well, so I perhaps won't spend to much time in front of the monitor this evening!:sad:

Your dentist probably already mentioned this, but one thing to watch out for after a wisdom tooth extraction is dry socket. You might want to be on the look out for any other symptoms. Here's a link (http://www.animated-teeth.com/dry-sockets/a1-dry-sockets.htm). Hope you feel better soon.

[BRUMMIEYID]

Thanks Ms Mod,
I have had a little trouble with the clotting as it keeps Bleeding everytime I take a drink!
The Dentist told me to use a medicated mouthwash several times a day! and the hole would heal without use of any padding inserted into the hole.

Thanks for the link.

*crawls in, desperate for coffee*
It's official. Hurricanes suck. We've got a tree service coming to see what they can do about the tree on our house. In the meantime, we spent some lovely time in an evacuee shelter and now we're waiting it out in a lovely old plantation home. One with satellite tv and wifi. So now I can come back in to the Cantina in desperate search of caffeine. I missed everybody, and I'm glad to be back.
So... where's that coffee?

Ms. Mod is right (as usual), a dry socket can be worse than the pain the tooth was causing. Of course, out here on the Calla, we just use a pair of pliers and a bottle of whiskey to extract teeth...it's a beautiful thing.:biggrin2:

Not only is the excessive amount of freight for Valhalla creating more work for my crew, I have been told I have to work out there the whole week. I guess it could be worse. Maybe I will find my way to some free food...that always helps make life a little nicer.

Lessons never hurt though...

I was a crippled child who wore heavy leg braces, when I was 2 years old I fell into a swimming pool and sunk to the bottom. I can still remember looking up through the water and seeing my mom and her friend talking. I had to be revived and was in the hospital for a week while they got all of the water out of my lungs. I was terrified of the water for years, but my grandma pushed me to start swimming. I actually was able to swim before I was able to walk. My dad can not swim, and as you said sinks like a stone. I had to dive down once in the river and pull him back up to the surface. It reminded me of my drowning incident a lot. We had to move with the current for nearly a quarter of a mile before I could get us back to shore. He out weighs me by about 65 lbs. By the grace of God we both made it safely, but I have to give my thanks to my grandmother who pushed me to learn to swim.:bat:

Ms. Mod is right (as usual), a dry socket can be worse than the pain the tooth was causing. Of course, out here on the Calla, we just use a pair of pliers and a bottle of whiskey to extract teeth...it's a beautiful thing.:biggrin2:

Sounds like a dentist I used to have a few years back... did an extraction without even the benefit of booze.

Now... the last dentist I saw, after yet a different dentist buggered up my mouth, was good. He referred me to a surgeon who knocked me out before he took the offending tooth. Woke up with less pain than before I was put under.

I highly recommend general anaesthesia for serious dental work and oral surgery.

Buckwheat's In The House

[waterlilyjaguar]

Hello to all and hope brummie that the pain goes away soon. I am watching Mexica
vs. Canada on cable tonite. My husband is Mexican so you know he has to watch
El Tri whenever he can. And Erickson is their new coach so everyone is hoping he
will do a good job with the team. He just has to learn to speak Spanish-LOL.
Hope everyone is well and will just head out to the patio. Tomorrow is Buckwheats
day so will save him some nice fat mice for his snack. ((((((to all in need))))))

[Spideyman]

Lepplady so sorry to hear about the tree. YES!!!!!!! Hurricanes suck.

Hopefully you can return to your home soon.

I ask once again that the Ka Tet pull together with good thoughts, vibes, intentions and prayers for all those along the Texas Gulf coast. Ike is building and has to make landfall someplace. May the shield of the Ka Tet keep all our members safe.


May all who lost their lives in 9/11 be remembered today, and all who were touched by the event.

[poisonbat]

Good morning all, and a special hello to Buckwheat. I have been so busy this week, it seems that the more that I do, the more that gets put on my plate. But I am proud of myself, I have started saying NO. I am just not willing to over do it everyday. There is a shed at my grandpa's house that needs torn down, it is a lot of work. I looked at it and decided that it is just something that I am not willing to do or ask my husband and son to do, I told my mother that she would need to hire a contractor to do the work. I felt bad at first, but then it was only relief that I felt. I am not going to kill myself down there anymore. I am looking forward to my orientation at the animal shelter this weekend so that I can start doing something that is just for me. I am 40 years old, I have given up much of my life doing for others, it is time for me to do a bit for myself. Wow the guilt I feel over saying that is tremendous. My two sons that live with me are 19 and 18, both grown, think they should start helping me out around here. Yes they both go to school, but they only go about 4 hours a day then spend the rest of the time sleeping, watching TV or playing games on the computer. Time for them to step up and do something. My husband may not take to this change very well, he is pretty stuck in his ways, but he can at least take over a few small things. Sorry to vent, just needed to get that off of my chest. :bat:

[LadyPain]

Hey Cowboy!

'Working on it' will have to do here. Lots on my plate today and I just want to get through the required stuff today, and then try to enjoy my day off.

How good are those Red Bulls you like to drink? I've heard that the new energy drink called 'Cocaine' has three times the kick in the caffeine department. Might be worth a try if I can find some.

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hi Guys n Girls,

Feeling a little better today! I fell asleep at 7pm last night and woke at 6am this morning, so I have had a good nights rest. The pain has subsided to a dull ache, the swelling is down and the pain killers have ran out!!!!:eek2: so I'm hoping the worst is over.
Thanks again for all the concern you have shown me. Its amazing how people on the other side of the world can find time to send messages of good will. That's what makes this board so SPECIAL:smile2:

WATERLILYJAGUAR I think Mexico won, didn't they? Did you see Giovanni Dos Santos? ,He plays for my favourite team...Spurs. There is a picture of him with my sun on my profile page albums.

LEPPLADY Sorry to hear about the unexpected tree incident, but glad to hear you are safe and well

LADYPAIN Good news on the job front...Hope you are well today.

CHARMS7 Glad to see you back.

SPIDEYMAN Thanks for you constant concern....STAY SAFE.

LULI & VOLIC Hope you feel better soon.

(((((((((TO ALL TET-MATES IN NEED ))))))))))

I hope this beautiful September day finds everyone well and enjoying life.

I also hope everyone has had a moment to pause and remember those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks that occurred seven years ago today.

God bless America.

[LOTUS]

Hi,all!!!
Hope everyone's doing great!

I finally bought a bike today,it's been 7 or 8 years since the last one broke down.I need some time to get used to it,but I guess it will be fun.
I could use some good vibes,I guess.:biggrin2:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Friday! Happy (early) birthday, Spidey! Hope you all have a good weekend.
Large hot coffee and a French cruller with pink frosting, please.

[Volic]

Good morning to all!

My support to you in your decision Poisonbat!:smile2:

Spidey, happy birthday!:love::biggrin2:

Have a wonderful weekend folks! Pass me and Ladypain a Red Bull please....that should get the motor running. If you like Football, it's gonna be a good weekend, if not, enjoy it anyways!

[Spideyman]

It's Friday! Hope all will have a safe and fun filled weekend.

I see that Buckwheat was a very good snake yesterday. Must be all the mice he is eating:blush:

Does anyone feel a touch a Fall in the air? I see some leaves turning color in the garden out back of the Cantina.

Sending good vibes, prayers and positive intentions to all in Ike's path. Please be safe.

Charms stay in your safe place and yell out when it has passed.

Leaving a vase of some wildflowers for all to enjoy. Off to beanbag central with herbal tea in hand........

Good morning, everyone, and happy Friday!

I've brought in some blueberry coffee cake, still warm.

Things here are WINDY. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a blustery winter evening, from the wind and darkness. :oo:

I hope everyone has a nice weekend, and a safe weekend.

[Volic]

Thank you Brummie, I am feeling much better today. How is yout toothache? Are you better?

Charms, many healing prayers for you, you are very strong!!!

[Shasta]

Spidey -

Word around the cantina is that it's your birthday. Happy Birthday!!!

[MrsSmeej]

Happy early birthday Spideyman. Thank you for the flowers, but aren't we supposed to be giving you something?

:eek2: Hunker down and stay safe all Texas tet-mates.

Glad you're feeling better Galli. Hope the same is true of Brummie and those of you who've been less than in the pink. Best wishes to all of you. :smile2:

Is there any more of that warm blueberry coffee cake left? Please?

[poisonbat]

Happy early Birthday Spidey. I am stuck in a situation that I am not sure how to handle. You all know that I have been excited about going to orientation at the animal shelter on Saturday, but that is the day that they all want to tear down that shed. There are other people who want to go and pick up things from my grandpa's, so now I may have to miss orientation, and they don't have another one for a month. I am torn between something that I really WANT to do and something that I, unwillingly, have responsibility for. Not a wonder I feel depressed.:glare::bat:

Blueberry coffee cake? Blustery day? Sounds like a good reason to stay inside and maybe take a little nap (after the coffee cake of course). Falling asleep with a good book, ahhh.

Just had a weird thing happen to me. The cops just came to my door looking for my step son. I asked them what they wanted and they told me that they needed to speak to him. I hesitated, I again asked them what this was concerning, they got angry with me and insisted on speaking to him. I thought that Josh must have gotten into some trouble that I did not know about. I rushed into my sons room and told him that the police were at the door and wanted to speak to him right now. It turns out that they were here because he was not attending the local high school. My son turned 18 in August and has registered at the local adult school. He has been there for almost a month, I would have thought that when he didn't show up for registration or when they requested his transcripts that someone would have got the memo that he isn't going to attend this year.:glare: They scared the crap out of me and my son. He is 18 and a legal ADULT, he does not have to go to school if he doesn't want to, he chooses to. Don't the cops have criminals to catch? Or maybe the school calling me or sending me an email about his attendance? Seems a bit over the top to me.:eek2::bat:

Greetings Everyone!

I'm staying in my "safe place" during the oncoming storm. The path of Ike is predicted to go straight through the center of Houston. We will all be holding on and praying. Understand, a powerful storm like Ike doesn't come along very often, but often enough to stay prepared.

Poisonbat, some people in authority don't always merit that authority. The Serenity Prayer might be useful to you about now. My son was falsely accused several years ago by a rookie cop. Big eye opener for me and my family.

Good Morning to all.

A BIG thank you for the wonderful Birthday Party. I had the best day ever.

Kim the cinna buns look delicious. I'll try one with my herbal tea this morning.

Saw Flakey peeking in this morning. Take good care.

Hope all In Texas are adjusting to the devastation left by Ike. So many are homeless, and those still in the cities are dealing with terrible conditions.

Charms is now with her daughter and holding on. Getting supplies is a challenge. Be well.

Beans bags look inviting... off I go. And Thank you all again for the great birthday.

I am going to start volunteering at the animal shelter tomorrow at 11:30 am. I am only going to work a couple of hours a day to start off with. They want me to come to their shot clinic and help out next Saturday, I was a licensed Vet Tech a long time ago. Of course my license has not been renewed since I was 18, but they said that it didn't matter, they just want someone who knows how to vaccinate animals. I can't count how many vaccinations and other injections that I have given ALL kinds of animals, everything from cows to snakes. This is going to be a wonderful thing for me, helping out critters makes me happy:love::bat:

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hi Everyone,

Just a fleeting visit to the Cantina to check everyone is fine and safe.
COWBOY I hear there were a few tree's blown over onto the Ryder Cup course. You couldn't grab a trusty steed and get them shifted could you!!!!!

SPIDEYMAN Hope you enjoyed your birthday.

CHARMS Still sending vibes your way, Lets hope the storm has passed.

Well, I might pop back in later, when I get in from watching the mighty SPURS.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

Glad you had a great birthday, Spidey; no-one deserves it more.

All well here - Jenni's coming on great, eating and sleeping well (what more can you ask for?) and Itsy Bitsy Teensy Kitteh has turned into Tiny Hooligan Cat.

Has everyone seen the new Sai King interview in the Newsletter and Nishere site yet?

Greetings and salutations, everyone! The sun is shining here and it looks like the gorgeous weather will continue. I'm off work today, and I plan to make soap since I didn't make any last week. Can't afford to fall behind in that. Hoping to make cheesecake tonight, too.

I'll just take a Coke today, please, and then head out to the grocery store in real time and get the real thing. I like my coke when I make soap. I get myself totally jacked on caffeine, turn up the music and enjoy myself.

An Irish Coffee sounds great John, I'll take one too!

Hey Spidey, Happy Late B-day wishes. Sorry.

Well, the wife is now an ex. I am sad, but I am keeping myself busy. I just finished my first collection of poetry. It is published and I am working on another collection for a friend. Shadow is my friend, and I have a crush on her. We joke about it because we both just got out of bad relationships. I think I quit loving my ex some time ago, but hung on just in hopes. Alas, it didn't work out but I have a home. Now if my mom would just quit being so damn loopy and stay where she is suppose to... We can finish making the apartment a home together. Well... Check you Mates later...

By the way, anyone hear anything from La Belladonna? I have PMed her and left a message on her profile, but haven't heard from her in a long time. Anyone know where she is or what happened to her? :bat:

[PatInTheHat]

Anyone hear from Brownmouse or Jane and anyone else in getting in the way of big weather here recently?

They were in the path of a our wind (whatever it was) event the other day!

There are still something like 200,000 people or more without power and who knows how many businesses (gas stations have gas, but can't pump it and groceries are having to throw perishables out) here in the tri-state (I'm not sure about Lexington Ky and further south) and just as many I think, if not more, in the Louisville Ky area (southern Indiana had to get it also) and I've heard from some folks in Pennsylvania that got wacked pretty good too.
Actually Louisville was supposed to have been hit really hard and may have received the brunt of it, but I don't know for sure.

Keep a look out for our friendly folks from this and of course down Texas way!

Good morning, folks. I think I will just make myself a cup of spiced chai this morning.

You'll find me off in a corner hiding today. (Oh, okay, I'll be at work for a while, but my mind will be hiding here. I have a feeling that I'd lose it if I took it to work today. Let's hope that is not an omen.)

Dog wants to go outside soon. She doesn't even have to go. She likes sniffin' around to see if the bear was here last night.

Brownmouse said she was going to take some time off when her daughter started school. Maybe that was it.... She was on a day ago.

The wind came up unexpectingly through western Kentucky. Many still without power. We were lucky here in Murray. Got power back on after 14 hours and no damage. My son and daughter-in-law got roof and siding damage. Many trees down and some buildings/homes damaged in western Kentucky.

Well, with the amount of cream I put in my chai, it's pretty much a latte. I learned to drink chai in India with a lot of dairy in it.

Today was a good day at work, except for coming home with a purple thumb. Broke a blood vessel and it puffed right up. Dammmmmn, those buggers hurt.

I think I will take you up on that chai latte.

Well, the old-timer who told me that bears didn't like the smell of mothballs was wrong. Bear went into the garbage again AND ate some of the mothballs. Maybe it likes spicy food.

What a mess that I had to clean up this morning. I am almost at the point of putting out a mat of pungee stakes at night. Let the bugger walk over THOSE! Conservation won't do a thing about this bear. I have called them repeatedly and all they could tell me was to bring the can inside. Excuse me! I don't have indoor storage that is not a part of my living space. The garbage can goes outside because I do not want to deal with bugs and smells in my house...

I have a dog run that is not in use because my dog is a house dog. Maybe we will have to clean out the plant pots and make a path to it and use THAT to store the garbage. I don't care how big that bear is, he's not going to be able to eat his way through chain link!

I think I need a drink of something a little stronger this morning. I'll take a zombie, thank you.

[poisonbat]

I wasn't able to make it to my first day of volunteering, I got tied up with realtors and paperwork. I so hate this, so I am going today. I have decided that I am going to not answer my phone unless it is one of my kids, all others can leave a message. I have already let some calls go to voicemail this morning.

Use ammonia, bears that stuff and that way you can keep your plants where they are. You won't have to move the garbage can into the house as well. Just pour a cup or two around your trash can and leave some in the trash can as well. I live out in the country, my ex's father said that ammonia works well. I hope this works better than the moth balls. If not, feel free to kick me a good one. Just aim for the shins or the butt, please. :oops:

I will have to get some ammonia and try that. I can even put it in a spritzer bottle and mist the can lid. It likes to pick the garbage can up by the lid and handle (in one bite) and carry it off a ways. I'll try just about anything.

[Dr. Fudd]

I don't own a gun, though I do know how to use one and have what is referred to as a 'dead eye', apparently. We could dig out the spud cannon we made...I wouldn't use the spud canon, he'll come around more often if he gets a taste for potatoes. You could fire McDonalds fries at him over and over again until he became so obese and dying of the many diseases that obesity causes. (Or at least he'd get so fat he couldn't move fast enough to attack you.)

What a wonderful turn out for SK birthday. I sure had fun cheering him. I am going to be busy today, boy I hate Mondays. My husband took today off, we have received two threatening letters from the old high school that my step son used to go to. These letters are threatening us with prosecution if we don't send him to school. I don't understand why they keep on us about this. After they sent the cops to my house, you think that they would have gotten the memo. "He is 18, did not enroll in your school this year, is currently enrolled in adult school, the adult school has requested his transcripts, He is not coming to Saturday school to make up classes that he never signed up for, what does it take to get this through there thick heads? I told my husband that I would deal with this, but NO he wants to do it himself. Why would a school do this to a person who is a legal adult. If he doesn't want to go to school, legally he does not have to. He is 18, he chooses to go to school. What a mess.:glare::bat:

All well here, hope things are good with you and yours. Sorry to hear about your hassles, poisonbat, you don't seem to have had your troubles to seek recently.

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

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

Long days and pleasant nights

Morning to all. I hope your Mondays were grand. I am just going to see if I can find myself a bean bag in the corner and get a cup-o-joe and relax in the corner for a little while. It has been a long 10 days...:) Had a 4 year old with a Rotavirus, maybe I should put a little Jameson's in that cup-o-joe:) Have a great morning.

Good afternoon to all. Busy morning here. Hang in Poisonbat.
May all be on the road to recovery who are ill.

Good Morning / Afternoon, Everyone!

Large hot coffee please, and a warm apple turnover.
Havig lab drawn today to see if I have West Nile virus --whoopee.

[LadyPain]

Hey JohnD, I'll scoop one of those surplus hugs for myself. I was a baaaad girl yesterday and sat in the sun for a while to smoke. Long pants and long sleeves, but even just having my hands and one side of my face exposed to the sun seems to have been more than enough for trouble. Oh well. That's life.

((((((KimL)))))) Tests can be worrisome until the results come back okay. Even if they don't, life goes on. You've got all of us here if you need a shoulder or a place to hide.
*hands you a fresh, warm apple turnover and a thermos full of coffee laced with Kahlua*

It's shaping up to be a beautiful day today. I have tons of stuff I need to do today, and some stuff I want to do. I want to paint. It's just that kind of day -- the light is perfect. I read for quite a while last night. SK, of course. That is my bedtime fix. I even found the new batteries for the booklight. (Guess what I plan to do tonight?)

No better fix than reading SK in the dark with a wee light and lots of blankets.

Have a great day everyone.

Congratulations to the USA on their Ryder Cup Win. We will get it back in 2010 I'm sure........Did you all know that the game of Golf originates in Scotland, and started as a game for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden, Hence the name G.O.L.F.

Hi, everyone. Sending prayers and good vibrations (oops, first typed "god vibrations!") to all who need them.

I have some hot bread, right out of the oven, and a soft stick of butter to spread on it, if anyone's interested. Also, blueberry preserves and apple jelly, and some strong, hot coffee.

Today is a good day - our pool is finished!!!!! I've never had a built-in pool, and am over the moon about it. Of course, it's finished just in time for fall, but we should be able to get about two weeks of swim time in it. Then we can spend the fall and winter landscaping.

When it gets to looking pretty I'll take a picture and post it. Right now it looks like a pool in the middle of a construction site - lots of mud.

I'm in a fantastic mood tonight, my team won last night!!!!

My beautiful grand nephew was born this morning at 6:32am. He weighs 6lbs 10oz. Both he and my niece are doing great.:love::love: He is such a cutie, I will post a pic of him soon. Great morning here for me!:bat:

Congratulations!! What wonderful news!

[Kim L.]

Oh my goodness! I'm just in time to see Buckwheat slithering out the door! Bye, Buckwheat! Hope to see you next week!

I will survive, Tet-Mates! Not to worry! I have survived rookie physicians, nurses "with attitudes" and everything good ol' Mother Nature can throw at me. If anyone needs pointers, just let me know!

Thank you, Everyone, for your great vibes and prayers!

Many healing prayers for Kim and Henry!

Love that Boston Bull, Spidey!

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

Oh, poor Charms, you must have been in a teaching hospital. On July 1, everyone in medicine moves up one rung on the academic ladder, which means July and August (and probably September) are NOT good months to be in the hospital. Rookie physicians--I've been there. Kick 'em out and ask for the attending.

It's great to have you back.

[Volic]

Good morning to all!

Congratulations Poisonbat!!!:love:

Susan, don't swim too far in your pool ir we won't find you!:biggrin2:

Many healing wishes to Charms, Kim, n8v_outlaw and all in need.:smile2:

[Shasta]

I am sending out congratulations to those who need it and good wishes to those who need it! I'm hopping back on a plane today to make my second 48 hour round trip journey across the country this week. I don't know how people who travel all the time do it!!!

[the great kilted one]

Ah, I don't want to go to work tonight :( Someone call my boss and tell them I have a rare sickness ...
Rgh. I used to love Howl-O-Scream, but our stage manager this year is kind of mean. I don't like mean.
Happy Friday to everyone else though!

AWJS!!

I'll see you all either in Spidey's weekend hangout or on Monday.:biggrin2:

This place is so fun and it takes up way too much of my time.:oo:

[Lepplady]

Hey, everybody. I was surprised to see the lights on so late on a Sunday. I just had to come in and see if there were any donuts or hot pockets left lying around somewhere.
I'll come back to see if anybody's around tomorrow.
:smile2:

[poisonbat]

So glad to see the lights on in my favorite cantina. I have had so much going on that I haven't had much time to post. My grand nephew was born on Wednesday and have been dealing with the home loan for several days.

Feel free to join me and taste the goodies.:biggrin2::love:

[Sundrop]

Hello, Everyone!! Poisonbat, your grand nephew is beautiful :)

[poisonbat]

I can't believe I forgot to post his name: Teegan Scott.:bat:

[SusanNorton]

I can't believe I forgot to post his name: Teegan Scott.:bat:

Poisonbat - he's beautiful!!! I've never heard the name Teegan before. Is it a family name? It sounds Irish, and very masculine. Congratulations!

[poisonbat]

No, none of us had ever heard the name. My niece got his name from the internet somewhere in a babies name site. We were not fond of the name at first, but it has grown on us.:bat:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!!

All very well here, great pic, thankee poisonbat.

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

A large Irish coffee please, and a CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

I had to look it up. Teegan is Gaelic for "Little Poet". How nice is that!

That's it. We're building a nursery at the Cantina. Including a crib Buckwheat can't get into. :biggrin2:

[poisonbat]

Thank you all for the kind words for Teegan. A nursery would be a nice addition to the cantina. I will have a large green tea with honey and be on the patio thinking of Kim and wishing she was here.:bat:

[Volic]

Good morning to all!

(((((KIM)))))

[LadyPain]

Good morning! I finished Song of Susannah last night on my quest to reread the DT series. I looked at the page count in DT7. 1045. Ouch. This will be a long and somewhat impatient read. Wish I had more time to kill reading these days!

I think I will take a couple of Cokes to go...

[dividedgrlofmine]

Good afternoon everyone!

I'll have the strongest cup of coffee ever - feeling a little left out, let down and underappreciated. I'm in need of a not-so-subtle pick me up.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday afternoons!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

All well here.

(((((((Kim and family))))))

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

[Spideyman]

Well,I guess it is afternoon, so
Good Afternoon everyone!

SusanNorton has asked me to tell all that she is job hunting and will get to the MB as she can.
Good luck Susan!!
Charms is still recovering and has some internet connection problems.

((((((( Kim and family)))))

May October bring full healing to all our ill members and no more Mother Nature nasty storms. May the Harvest of Fall be plentiful for all.

*reaches over and pours a good belt of Kahlua into your coffee, and leaves a chocolate chip muffin beside your mug*

I know the feeling, sometimes.

Best of luck to Susan, and huggles all around!

[Presque Vu]

Good evening everyone!

((((((Kim)))))

(((((dividedgrlofmine))))))

Good luck Susan!

I'd love to post some more, but I'm having the flu, so in this feverish delirious state, I must give up message board roaming for tonight... but I am very happy because my cat Mephisto is doing better! I think I would give my right hand for him, and any of my other cats. He has an inflammatory bowel disease since Friday, and his bowels came out:(((... we didn't know what to do, and this older vet who was on call during the weekend told us to give him dulcolax, which is a laxative, but it only made it worse. Seriously, I think this older vet is here to torture animals, not heal them. But karma's gonna get him. So, on Monday morning, we finally got to this young vet who then forwarded us to a private vet in Bihac, which is 1,5 hours away by car. He could've helped him too, but I guess he was banned from helping small animals, because "there's no money in it..." Yeah, this is where I live unfortunately. Thanx God Mephisto survived the trip, and for now it's holding, he has appetite again, he meows, walks a bit... *prays*
So I had the best Eid al-Fitr ever, even though I'm very sick^^
Just wanted to share this with you guys, you are all amazing, I feel like this is my second family!

hugs to all and have a nice day/night!

Good Wednesday all!

Kim glad you are home. Now get well soon:smile2:
Presque Vu hope your flu is gone, and that Mephisto is feeling better too.
Charms thinking about you.

The herbal tea looks good this morning. I'll be at beanbag central......

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

[Cowboy]

Good morning friends! Hope all is well.

[Gelata]

Hi all. Hope you are all OK. I'm very busy, much work, so I can't log in very often, and I'm missing you everyday. Take care.

(((KIM)))

[TalKarinth]

Mernin peoples!

may the Powers That Be grace you as the only two legged man (or woman, say true) in the butt-kicking contest we call life. :P

Other than that, just been sorta busy working so I have not been around not that anyone would notice, heh. I slink around the boards in the shadows just cause.. I have enough tan as it is!

beside you can't see the moon.. M-o-o-n, that spells Martini! speaking of, I'll take the usual, a little neater today than normal, my brain pickle-o-meter says I am two quarts low *badumdum* ( a little MASH-style humor, heh)

[LadyPain]

Greetings everyone! Another day off. Too many for my taste, so I think I will be talking to management if I continue to see the cashier manager treating me like her 'flavour of the month' (on her sh*tlist) for offering to work merchandising shifts for the store manager at christmas instead of supervisor's shifts for her. I don't like being given the screwjob for her lack of planning.

[Lepplady]

Heya everybody. What's everybody got going on today?
Me, I'm just chillin in the dappled sunlight that filters through the thin curtains at the front, in my usual booth. Digesting too much of the few chinese foods I can still eat. Delightedly miserably stuffed.
I hope everybody else's day is just as simply wonderful.
:biggrin2:
HUGGLES all Tet-mates, in need or not.
