The Ka-Tet Cantina

[Cowboy]

How do Buckwheat? Good morning to all the mammals also. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

[poisonbat]

Well hello Buckwheat, nice to see you. Do you like rats?
I am very glad to be in the cantina, the Hawaiian goodies look tasty. I will have some out on the patio. I miss Kim a lot. The cantina is not the same without her. Sure hope she comes back soon. As for me, I am spending today at the shelter. They open at 11 so I will do my domestic chores then off to have some fun.:bat:

[Shasta]

I'm alone again. Am I driving everyone off?

[LadyPain]

*steps in for a break while decommissioning her work space back into a (cough,spit,gag) guest room*

I need a drink. A real one. Unfortunately my doc won't let me have the good stuff, so I will take a cyber bottle of scotch. Yes, the whole bottle. No glass. I won't need it.

*grabs the bottle and heads out to RT, taking a swig along the way*

[Spideyman]

Good afternoon all.

Sometimes our days are so busy we just do not get a chance to read all the forums, or threads.


There has been a tradition on the SKMB since the old old MB known as the Halloween Story.

There is a sticky over in General Discussion Questions - Halloween Story.
Have a peek. It is guaranteed great fun. Jordan posted links to past stories. I think it is post #28.

Come join the fun:smile2:

[n8v_outlaw]

Hope you Tet Mates have a good weekend. I will be with my auntie, I will be missing my g/f but we will see each each other soon. She is too good to be true, but I know she is real and we are doing good. I am working on my poetry one handed. My g/f and I will be getting ready for a poetry night. Hope you Tet Mates do well.

Thank you all that has responded about my health. I am doing better with the whole one hand bit. Still not looking forward to the surgery. Who does?

[Ayla]

Hey guys!!

i'm missing the board heaps at the moment.

so i moved, and sadly, "The Best Computer In The World" didn't like moving. it now, sorta, kinda doesn't work. My suspicion is a problem with the power supply. so anyway, still trying to get it fixed but am flat broke so its taking a little whiles. i'm staying at my sisters at the moment for a couple of days while she is out of town so i've got some access now (even if it is dial-up - does that even really count these days??). been catching up on everything net related (webcomics - YAY)

anyway, thought i'd update you all. i do plan to be back, just gotta get my access up and running and i'm set!

[La Belladonna]

Good Morning Everyone!

Hey - I just wanted to post to let everyone who has tried to contact me over the past month or so that I am still alive and around. :smile2: Thank you all so much.

My husband and I were involved in a really bad car accident. We were hit head-on by another car when its driver had a stroke and lost control. We were going about 50 mph and we were told the other car was going around 40 mph when it crossed the center line and hit us. The other driver died because of the stroke, and his wife died from trauma injuries caused by the accident - she wasn't wearing her seat belt - don't know if it would have helped. My husband had to have his left foot "re-built", but otherwise is doing fine. I broke a leg, some ribs, and put my head through the side window. I'm doing fine now. Just aches and pains. Modern medicine can be pretty good when you need it. :smile2: Thank God the kids weren't with us!

Soooo - haven't been able to post or answer any queries. Thanks for your concerns. I won't be posting regular for a little while yet. Have to get caught up on work and such. My office desk is buried under mountains of stuff.

Sorry I've missed so much. Happy Birthdays to everyone I've missed!! Also - big congratulations out to the new grandpa! Miss this place.

Have a great day!!!! :smile2:

[Speedy2]

I missed Buckwheat yesterday...had to take mini-me on a Field trip to a local pumpkin/apple picking location with his pre-school. Now, after having a few minutes to look at my work inbox. I think I will just stay here in the Cantina for the rest of the day. Have you ever had one of those days (or weeks for that matter) that just, for lack of a better word, suck. So if it is all right I will take a large Cappuccino with a huge dollop of whipped over in the corner. If anyone has a good joke I would love to hear it:) Looking for a good laugh! HAPPY FRIDAY. - Speedy -:eek2:

[poisonbat]

Good morning everyone, I have shifted gears into finding a good home owners policy. They are quite confusing. It seems that I get one, and I get it all arranged and I get another one that is better. Don't know exactly how much insurance I need, I will call my lender today and talk to them, they should have the appraisal back by today. I hope to see Kim later, and Lady Pain THANK YOU. I know that you know what that is for. :bat:

Oh my La Belladonna, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident. Thoughts and prayers for quick healing for you and your husband and prayers to the family of the two who died. Good to have you back and glad you are OK.

[Gwenivere]

Bella, It's so good to see you again and I'm glad that you and your husband are well and on your way to recovery. :smile2:
I'll also dedicate a thought of deepest sympathy for the other couple's families.

[Gard-ole-Gard]

La Belladonna, my first reaction was to think the impact would be similar to hitting something at 90 MPH. My goodness, I'm glad you and your husband are on the mend.

[Lepplady]

Many hugs La Belladonna!! I'm so glad to hear that you and your husband are both doing better!
Hugs to all Tet-mates, in need or not.

Hi,

Great to see you back.

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!
Thank you so very much for all your healing thoughts and prayers. It is NOT West Nile, just regular old viral meningitis, and I am feeling better this morning. (It's still morning on the left coast).

We may actually get rain this weekend, and all you Californians know what that means: summer's over, look out for floods!

[LadyPain]

(((((La Belladonna))))) I'm glad to hear you are on the mend. Continue to take good care of yourself, okay? Don't push to hard. I am glad you and your husband are recovering, but I am sad for the other couple. And like you, I am relieved your kids were not in the car.



poisonbat, you are welcome. Anytime, girl, anytime.

Cowboy, have a 4-pack of Red Bull on me. *hands a four-pack over to him*


The timing for my husband's trip is starting to fall into place. I guess he will fly out on the 14th and spend some time back east, then drive out with his dad, arriving back here a couple of days before Halloween. I'll be spending almost all of my scheduled vacation ALONE. That sucketh. I guess I will have to allow for a lot of extra movies and books in the shopping basket. And cleaning supplies to whip the last corners of the house into shape. Crap. I'm going to have to do a lot of cleaning on my so-called vacation. I'll also have to bath the dog on my own too. She's hard to catch when she knows it is bathtime. Dog is getting smart to the routine.

I think I will take a cup of tea and a couple of Pepcid to go, please.

[Spideyman]

Just heard form Charms- she's ready for surgery. They are doing this to get rid of the infection. She wants to thank each and everyone who is holding her in good vibes and prayers.


(((((( charms)))))))

[mstay]

((((((((LaBelladonna)))))))))) That is scary to hear about your accident! I'm glad you are both OK. And thank goodness the kids weren't there. It's sad that the other people died. It certainly shows that accidents aren't always caused by bad drivers. You never know what could happen.

((((((((Charms)))))))))) I'm sorry to hear you need more surgery. I hope it goes well and you can heal better from this one. Come back to us soon!

Many healing prayers and vibes to both of you.:smile2:

Hugs to all in need of one. Isn't that everyone anyway?:love:

A horseback ride might be nice, Cowboy. Haven't been on a horse in 30 years and I am sure the horse would just KNOW. Do you have a very mild-mannered horse I could borrow?

I oh so love horses, I used to have a couple myself. I had a quarter horse named Red, and a Tennessee Walker named Lady. I took Lady to shows and she had the fanciest gaits that you could imagine. One day I had her in the arena practicing for a show had her in a rocking horse canter (yes it looks just like a rocking horse, kinda buck, rare over and over) I had her shod with 4 lb toe weights at the time so that when she went back to regular shoes she would lift her front feet higher when she gated. Things were going great until her front feet buckled under her and I went over the front of her. My face hit the corner of the fence post fracturing my eye socket, then I fell backwards to the ground. Lady was still trying to get up and kicked me in the side of the head with those 4 lb toe weights as she swimmed to get up. It fractured my skull and broke all of the bones in my left ear. I am glad that I had a friend that had a fast quarter horse that was with me, she left me and went to get help. I was 1 month in the hospital, surgery on my left eye socket to repair the fracture, and a small plate in my head to fix that break. It was several days before I even remembered who I was or even my mothers face. All in all it took me about 8 months to recover. I am deaf in my left ear, nothing they could do about that, but all in all I am fine. My mom blamed my horse for almost killing me, but I explained to her that it was not Lady's fault, and if I had been wearing my riding helmet I would not have been injured. It took me 11 years to get back on a horse, but it was wonderful. I have only rode once since my accident, but if you have a gentle horse, I would love to go riding with you all too. Sorry for the long post. :bat:

[Sundrop]

Hi Y'all!! Haven't checked in with the Cantina Crowd lately. Do I still have a spot on the patio??

[LadyPain]

Cowboy,

It sounds like you have picked out a nice horse for me. I'll just have to take my Thomas Cook oilskin and my Akubra out of storage. Ridin' time! (Shoot, donated the boots to charity... I'll have to go with the biker b*tch boots instead.)

Sundrop, there's lots of room on the patio for you. I could swear I saw the reserved sign still holding your place.

As for me, I will take a coke to go. Today I start a 7 day stretch at work, and I have stuff that I must do before I go in this afternoon. I will try to stop in later on.

[JohnDalglish]

I'm in, let's go! It's easy just put one leg on one side and the other leg on the other side and keep your mind in the middle.

Poisonbat, how awful! I'm glad to hear you've recovered and got back in the saddle. I should wear a helmet too but I don't.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I'll take a cup of hot tea with lemon, and some cinnamon toast. Heading out to the patio to join Sundrop.

[LadyPain]

Good morning folks, I think I will just grab a cup of tea and hide off in a corner with some work I brought home.

I had a bit of a screw up at work sorted out for me by the acting manager (Lead assistant manager is the manager while the regular manager is away) because it seemed that since the manager told the cashier manager not to double shift me at Christmas like she did last year, she was favouring others lower down the totem pole than me because she likes to pull the b*tch card. I have been assured that it WILL NOT happen again. I pulled the 'job hunt' card.

For the gory details... Last year, volunteers were requested for Christmas, and I volunteered to merchandise, to work out on the floor for the manager. No one volunteered to work as a supervisor so it was added to my responsibilities for that day as well, and I wasn't asked or even told. I only saw it on the schedule when I was being told who I was working with. It was a shock because I was left short-staffed at Christmas because the cashier manager didn't want to have to call in one of her long-time princesses to work on that day. The stress was unreal and the cost to my health was absolutely freakin' enormous. This year I volunteered to work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day as a merchandiser for the manager as long as she made sure I wouldn't be double-shifted on those days. There are lots of other qualified supervisors. She made sure I wouldn't get chit on again like last year, so the cashier manager decided to pull the b*tch card and short me on some available work days. I went to management to have that corrected, and saying that it made me want to start looking for another job WAS the truth. I hate job hunts, but I hate being unable to pay bills on time worse, so I said what I needed to in order to get my point across. I have worked my arse off to save the day so many times for management that they will go and save my hours for me in exchange. Works out for everyone, but still pisses off the cashier manager (lower level manager, not even a blue shirt). She's always got some kind of axe to grind for someone anyways. I am not the only one who feels her wrath.

So, things have been fixed. The cashier manager has been put in her place and told not to play with seniority lists like that again, etc, etc and I got hours back.

Now... I think my tea has gotten cold. I better grab a fresh one before I leave.

[Cowboy]

Happy Hump Day! Have a great day people!

Hi everyone,

Late in again!!!! I seem to have less time to pop in these days. The days pass so quickly. It must be becuase of the nights drawing in, and less daylight hours!

LADYPAIN Good on you for standing up for yourself against the b***h manager. Sometimes a little responsibility goes to some people's heads!!! I had a similar experience when I was younger...regretably, being young and hot-headed at the time I sorted the problem myself, the only way I knew! The guy soon recovered from a split lip and black eyes!!!:blush:

Buckwheat's In The House

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

LadyPain, glad you were able to get it sorted out at work. People can be so petty.

(((((Charms)))))

Large hot coffee and some pumpkin bread, and I'll head out to the patio; company welcome.

[Todash]

This is my first visit. It seems like a nice place. :)

Hugs to all going through hard times, and greetings to everyone else. I'm a little blue myself this morning, so perhaps some Earl Grey tea will cheer me up.

Oh, and LadyPain: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

[Cowboy]

Morning folks....is it Friday yet??? Foggy weather out on the Calla today.

[MrsSmeej]

Hi everyone... I haven't spoken up in here for a while. I've been ill with Dr. Suessilitis and wished to spare all of you. I've brought home-made pecan rolls to make up for it.

I'll be off to compose more bad sports verse in a minute, but I did want to offer up the poor prayers of a lapsed Catholic and sports gods worshiper to all of our tet-mates in need.

(((((( All of you ))))))

Have a well earned vacation Ms. Mod.
Your work load really has me awed...

:eek2: Ooops... I better go, now that symptoms start to show...:eek2:

[poisonbat]

My work at the shelter has taken on a whole different responsibility. I have been asked to bottle raise 3 abandoned 2 week old kittens. I said that I would, every other shelter said that they would put them to sleep, but not YAPS. They stepped up. Karen my supervisor told me that she would share the responsibility with me if I need help. I figure I am going to have to sleep in the spare room for about 3 weeks so that the babies don't wake up my husband during the night. It will be worth it. I swear I wont get attached to them,:blush: well maybe a little.:glare: I pick them up at 11 am. So for now, I am off to the patio with a large green tea with lots of honey. :bat:

[Shasta]

Awww, Poisonbat! One of my cats was an abandoned three week old that I found in a snowstorm. I LOVED bottle feeding her and showing her how to potty. So sweet! Good luck!

(Of course, she doesn't appreciate it at all now!!!)

[LadyPain]

This is my first visit. It seems like a nice place. :)

Hugs to all going through hard times, and greetings to everyone else. I'm a little blue myself this morning, so perhaps some Earl Grey tea will cheer me up.

Oh, and LadyPain: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

I'm familiar with that sentiment as noli carborundum illegitami.:biggrin2:


I think I will take a coke this fine, soggy morning. Apparently it might snow near here tonight. Hopefully just up in the mountains. I am not prepared to shovel the chit yet.

[Spideyman]

Good Afternoon to all and Hello Buckwheat

Poisonbat that is wonderful what you are doing:smile2: Thank you for saving them.

Charms is still in hospital but out of ICU- check Charms for Charm for details.

Our Galli is working some extra hours. She is OK, and says HI.

Large strong coffee today, little sleep last night.

[poisonbat]

All members of the God Bomb social group, please read my post there, it is very important to me. Thanks:bat:

[Todash]

Poisonbat, one of our kitties was bottle-raised (not by us, by the volunteers at our vet's office) from two or three weeks or so. His mother had been hit by a car and killed. We got him at eight weeks, which is kind of young, but he didn't have his mother anyway, so he was largely socialized by humans. Every day he has to have his "snuggle time," where he hops up in my arms and buries his nose in the crook of my elbow. And if we are at the computer or sitting down and he wants attention, he stands on his hind legs—he's a very tall cat—and taps us on the shoulder, as if to say, "Excuse me, scritches and pets, please." All of which is to say, thanks to your efforts, some people are probably going to be matched with some wonderful kitties. Bravo to you.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

This has been just an awful year. I just got the news that an old family friend died yesterday. A dear friend also lost her Mother yesterday. Another last Friday. Yet another 2 weeks ago. I lost my Uncle 2 months ago... this has been a very rough year. :(

[Eleese of Gilead.]

Hello Tet-Mates.

It's been a while since I last stopped in. It's because you guys smell.

KIDDING!

I've read a bit about what I missed but not all, I want to say sorry and all the best to Sheba and Tery. Hang in there.

Poisonbat-thanks for saving those little kitties.

All is well with me, I'll take a chai tea latte to relax at bean bag central. TTYS!

Hi,

Wow! I thought we could expect a touch of intellectual snobbery, but I certainly didn't expect such blatant and obnoxious racism from someone in such a position in the third millenium.

Depressing to discover that attitudes like his still exist IMO.

However, every journey starts with but a single step, so anyone who agrees that Sai King richly deserves the honour (though Engdahl's attitude certainly tarnishes the honour IMO) of the Nobel Prize for Literature please join us in the Social Group. Thankee.

Long days and pleasant nights

Good Friday everyone. May the day great you well.

Is everyone ready for lots of POT/PMing and Social groups for next week?

Good Morning, Everyone!

Happy Friday! Thanks for the cactus cupcakes, Spidey; they look too good to eat (but I'll take one anyway).
Ms. Mod, have a terrific week off.

[poisonbat]

Good morning all. Well I went to pick up the kitties yesterday, and the lady that had them gave them to a stranger at Petsmart the night before. Whoever this person was claimed to be from YAPS, but that just isn't so. I just hope that whoever this stranger is takes good care of them. :sad: I am glad to hear from Sheba, and sending out good vibes and prayers for her, Charms too. I am looking forward to this weekend, my mom will be in town. For now I am off to sit next to the fireplace as it is cold this morning. I will take a large coffee with some of that flavored creamer. :bat:

[Sheila Carlyle]

The first step would apparently have to be removing Horace Engdahl (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/oct/02/nobelprize.usa) from the Nobel jury. :sad:

I don't wanna go off on a tangent here, but the cultural bias of Mr. Engdahl and his opinion that the U.S. has a fundamental inability to produce a Nobel Prize worthy author, is exemplified on a wider scale by the GENRE bias and snobbery of the "serious" writing & critiquing community in general, that affect Mr. King and others.

Everyone has seen s****y reviews of SK's work before, and I particularly remember seeing the late Norman Lear on Charlie Rose referring to prolific writers as producing the equivelence of "Big Macs"( I'm sure I have read a VERY similar self-depricating remark from SK himself yrs before this interview).

I like Mr. Giles Foden's one word response to H. Engdahl, and think it should be expanded to include all close minded, too full of themselves types: "B******t".

So good to have the board open and be able to come into my favorite Cantina. It is great to see you all. It has been a tough week. A pipe burst and flooded my house, it caused several thousands of dollars of damage. I am so glad that my book case has 4 inch legs on it, none of my books were damaged. I finally got that all cleaned up by Thursday, and Friday morning, my sister was in a car accident. I spent my weekend caring for her since her husband is out of state. She is ok now, she just got really shook up. New week, new start, looking forward to it. I will be kicking back on the patio with a large coffee with that tasty creamer. :bat:

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hi Everyone,

I have just got home after spending 3 hours in a Hospital waiting room. After jarring my back at work today I have been diagnosed with a Prolapsed Disc-Spinal disc Herniation. I have extreme pain running from my Hip down my entire right leg, this is due to the Sciatic nerve being trapped by the disc.
The most harrowing thing about this is that the GP has said there is a probability of this lasting up to 6 weeks before a Consultant will consider surgery!!!! If after 4 weeks there is no improvement then they will carry out an MRI scan, and get a Consultant to check me out.:eek2:

I'm hoping the disc will right itself under its own steam! The GP has perscribed me some Pain killers and Anti-Inflamateries, BUT I will not be able to start these until tomorrow night, as I have to drive my wife 130 miles to Birmingham tomorrow to meet my Mum for their trip to New York.


This week may not be as enjoyable for me as was planned!

I can not believe that they are finally coming to close our house loan on Thursday. It has been a long drawn out process. I am surprised that they did not ask for DNA and fingerprints, they asked for everything else. I will be glad when the whole thing is over with. I have finally been able to call the contractors that are going to fix my roof and do the tree work that needs done. I have scheduled that stuff for the 1st of November. I really wanted to get it done in October, but it just didn't work out for me. Oh well, that is how life goes I guess. I will take a large green tea this morning and off to bean bag central. :bat:

I feel like I've been gone for forever. School work is finally catching up with me and now I'm swamped, tired and cranky. But it is good to know that I always have this board to come back to. :biggrin2:

I just got back from visiting my nephew in Virginia and it was an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL vacation and I cannot wait to go back. He's three months old and the best thing that has happened to my entire family.

I hope everyone is also loving their lives.

Buckwheat is an awesome pumpking carver. Can I have the seeds?

[LadyPain]

*slips in for a moment to grab a coke*

I picked up a couple of movies on my errand run this morning. Aliens and Rocky Horror Picture Show. I own RH already on VHS, but I don't have a VCR anymore and the tape somehow ended up at my monster-in-laws house last year. Not sure how that went down. My husband was going to copy it there, and he left my movie there. Anyways, I have the DVD so I can watch Tim Curry perform Sweet Transvestite to my heart's desire.

Ultrasound went well. The techs aren't supposed to tell you anything, but mine told me the scan was fine. She made a special trip over to see the radiologist with my files. I guess having people all over who buy my soap is a good thing. The power of soap! Anyways, it is just a relief that nothing showed up on the ultrasound. Now I am just going to wait and hope I DO NOT get a phone call about the blood work I had done yesterday.

I'm bagged. This 'being sick' stuff is a load of horse hooey. I want to get on with my life instead of wasting it riding the couch. I just don't feel up to much at the moment. I go back to work in eight days. I hope that is enough time off.

Maybe I'll grab myself a chicken burger outta the Cantina before I slip back to RT.

Have a great day.

Large hot coffee pleae, and a plate of cinnamon toast and I'm back off to meet my tetmates on the patio.

[Lepplady]

Heha dear Tet-mates.
Please forgive my huffing and puffing, ranting and raving, but I'm just a bit tee'd off. I heard from my publisher that the current (and final) stage of the production of my book will take "maybe" another week. The charming representative that I talked to today told me that "Hey, it's not an exact science, y'know?" I reminded her calmly that it may not be an exact science, but it is a business, and it's MY business as well. There are other factors at work, here, that have been set in motion according to the timeline THEY gave me.
I don't know what hocks me off more. The fact that "maybe" I'll get to see proofs of my work next week, or the "eh, whatever" attitude of the woman I talked to.
Whatever happens, you can be assured that I will NOT deal with this publisher again in the future. Ever. And any future references I make to this place will not be happy and shiny.
... I need a drink. A lot.

This is for Sai Mack, and all Tet Mates that have helped me. It goes for all Tet Mates as well. If there is not enough, I could always drag another cake in.
I know I have been here often enough and haven't really checked in except for with the few that I reached out to. I am struggling with alcohol and going through withdraws. I am staying close to my girlfriend and family. I am sober one month and continuing to stay sober.
Again thank you Tet Mates.

(((((((((((Mack)))))))))))))))))

I will be sitting at the bar waiting for Star to show up, we are suppose to have a drink? I hope she is doing all right.

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't been on in such a long time. School pretty much has consumed my life.... not much time for anything extra! :)

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Friday! Lepplady, sorry to hear of your troubles with the publisher. But soon your book will be published!
n8v_outlaw, couldn't help but notice there's a large spider crawling on your cake...

Hi,

Have a Great Weekend Everyone !!!

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

Long days and pleasant nights

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hi All,

The wife is enjoying herself in NYC. Visiting all the sights and browsing all the stores.
She txt me today to say my Mum and her went to Broadway last night to watch Mama Mia, they really enjoyed it.

I could do with something strong to knock me out! My Sciatic pain is almost unbearable, and the pills from the doctor have been making me ill, so i've had to stop taking them.
I'm grateful my sister is around to help out looking after my little Princess!!!

Going to hit the sack, with a book and try to chill.

[LadyPain]

*slips in for a late night drink or six, hiding off in a dark corner*

If I'm still off in the corner in the morning, will someone please give me a fresh bottle of Stolichnaya?

[MrsSmeej]

Stoli's, my Lady? It goes very well in Red Bull.

[poisonbat]

*slips in for a late night drink or six, hiding off in a dark corner*

If I'm still off in the corner in the morning, will someone please give me a fresh bottle of Stolichnaya?

If I knew what that was, I would gladly give you one. Stolichnaya?

I am just enjoying the peace around her right now, they will start construction on my house next week. It will be crazy around here then. So for now I will just kick back in the bean bags and have a nice green tea with plenty of honey. :bat:

[mstay]

Hi everyone! I am just stopping in to grab a muffin and a glass of milk then I'm off to training for my new job! I just got a job at a quilt store last week! Yay! Now my favorite hobby can be my work too.

See you all later. Have a great day.:biggrin2:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
LadyPain, here's your Stoli and hope you feel better.
Brummie, hope you're feeling better, too.
(((((All tetmates in need)))))

Large hot coffee and a French cruller, please.

[Spideyman]

Good Monday Morning.

Wake up LadyPain- here comes the Cantina morning crowd.

Spidey is sending out a CRY PARDON to all fellow Tet-Mates. My schedule has changed a little, so I may not get to everyone each day. But know you are in thoughts and heart.
As some already know, my neighbor suffered a stroke last Thursday night. She is the rock of that family. Master gardener, horsewoman, animal lover and kind soul. Right now her husband is a lost, clueless soul.
Cognitive skills are lacking, motor skills OK. I've taken on care of her critters, and watchful eye to husband. She did everything. My late afternoon and early evening time will require helping there. So know I am still here as often as I can be.

Brummie- how are you feeling?

Are we having a Halloween Party in the Cantina??????

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

[LadyPain]

Poisonbat, Stolichnaya is Russian vodka.

Kim L, thanks for the hooch. I just have to survive the next little while. I got a bit of sleep last night, and I have a last-minute list of things to do today before the men arrive. I'll be happy to see my husband, at least, even though a couple of things he said in MSN messenger yesterday made me mad enough to spit nails.

This morning, I think I will take a jug of lemonade to lightly flavour the Stoli. I'll be off in the corner, hiding. Anyone else under severe stress is welcome to join me.

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hi All,

Checking in to the Cantina from good ol' London Town!!! (well the suburbs really but...)

All back safe and sound.....I'm still smiling from un-wrapping my brand new "Ed Harley" T-shirt, bought with love, all the way across the atlantic!

Sciatic Pain a tad strong after the 3 hr drive from Birmingham, but an appointment with my Doctor has been made for the morning, so pain relief is only a night away!!

Must scoot now as an early night is a must.....(heidie is jetlagged!!!)

[Lepplady]

Dear Tet-Mates, I give you:
Subjugation.

Large Russian coffee please (just use the Stoli, thankee) and a CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

[LOTUS]

Hi,everybody!Hope you all had a wonderful start of the week.I sure did,but back to work tomorrow.
Having that in mind,I think I could use a small Stolichnaya and maybe tonic with lemon.:biggrin2::biggrin2:
Spidey,I'll keep your neighbour in good thoughts and prayers.Sounds to me like she is a wonderful person,hope she gets better soon.
Have a great week,everybody!!!

[Todash]

I'd like an Irish coffee. (I've been told I'll reach the age where I think twice about drinking coffee before bed, but I'm beginning to doubt that.)

Anyone else?

[Cowboy]

Howdy everyone, hope all is well for you.

[poisonbat]

Good morning all. Spidey I hope your friend and all of her critters are OK. My dad is coming to visit for a week. I do miss him as he lives quite far from me, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with visits. He will be here this afternoon. Until then I will be on the patio with a nice cold diet Coke. I rarely have sodas so this will be a treat. Oh and Ms. Mod, am I not prolific now? Just wondering. :bat:

[Moderator]

It would appear that you are. Darn system is supposed to automatically update but every so often it drops the ball. Will do it manually for you.

Hey guys and gals! I hope this finds you all well and happy and whole. :biggrin2:

It's pouring in the Garden State and some northern parts even got snow. How 'bout them apples? I'll have a hot chocolate and crawl back into bed.

[Moderator]

Guess it finally caught up with your total. By the time I got into the Admin area, you'd been updated.

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all

Lepplady Congrats. Love the cover! Way to go. Dreams come true:smile2:

Poisonbat welcome to the prolific Tet:wink2:

Some of my neighbors family have flown down to help their dad. Thankful. I'll still care for the critters and keep a watchful eye. PLants will require care too.

Learned a basic fact- please, if one member of a family does 99% of everything, do not let the other be clueless. Write down important #'s, where papers are kept, what and how you feed the animals.. ...little things like that. You have no idea what it is like when the main caregiver can not speak the words to give this information.


Herbal tea in hand and off to the bean bags.

(((((All Tet Mates in need and there families too)))))

[Todash]

Brr. It's chilly today. I'd like some hot chocolate. With whipped cream, and a peppermint stick.

[LadyPain]

I like Todash's idea of hot chocolate, but I think I'll take a shot of peppermint schnaps in mine instead of a peppermint stick.

I'll be hiding off in the corner with it.

[Kim L.]

Have to go do some on-line training to prepare for the in-person training I'm doing most of Thursday. Whee.

[BRUMMIEYID]

Hot Chocolate sounds great. Its a little chilly over here tonight.

Got my new painkillers from the doctor today, and looks like the swelling around the pro-lapsed disc is getting better. Hoping the new pills suit my system better than the last lot!! Still going to be off work this week......so one of those bean bags and a bag of Tortilla chips would suit me fine.

[sheba41]

HI guy's, thank,s for all the warm word's after my brother died.
I am going to visit here a bit more.....so where can I sit?
I love the sun...

[Lepplady]

Good Tuesday to all

Lepplady Congrats. Love the cover! Way to go. Dreams come true:smile2: Tankies!
It's been such a long journey for me, and everybody here has listened to me complain, or passed me tall pitchers of tea quietly while I sat in the booth at the front and typed away on my laptop. I just wanted to share my initial joy of seeing my cover art for the first time.
*snifs*
:biggrin2:

[aussiewonder]

Wish I'd been here from the beginning, but trying to catch up with whats going on is certainly invigorating my brain cells! Nothing to drink for me it will slow down the process!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Oh, who am I kidding. It's 9 pm in my where, everyone has gone to bed or something, and I want to play.

Here's some brownies. I'll take one or two and a large hot coffee, please. Hello? *sulks but in a cute way*

Howdy all Tet Mates!

*walks into the Cantina in a bit of a jolly mood. His hat is settling on his head in a comical fashion, and most of it is perched on the back of his head. He is grinning ear to ear*

I had a good visit with my sister and her children. Mom is dumping her bad b/f and sister is dumping her lame b/f. Yay! They finally see that their men are not worth the tears and stress! Plus they are cleaning up right around the same time I am, but mom has about two months on me! :rofl: Sister is two weeks behind me and that puts her two and half months behind mom! Oh, we are a family for Mtv! :oo:

Say Sorry Big-Big for the huge spider. It kind of flopped down just as I was getting here. Should have shot the bugger but then I would have to explain the thing that was a cake. :D


((((((((((((((((((((ALL TET MATES in NEED or NOT))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

*He sits at the bar drinking a ginger ale while he watches for Star*
Any news on Mother Wolf? It breaks my heart when I think about her....

*He continues to sit at the bar. He slowly sips down his ginger ale*

[poisonbat]

My dad made it safely to my house, looking forward to his visit. This is the second day in a row that I have woke up at 5am. I hate that. My son ungraded my computer, new video card and went to Vista Ultimate. I had the hardest time trying to get here this morning, but I made it. So some strong coffee for me this morning with lots of Hazelnut creamer. They are going to start on my roof today, they will be here at 8am. Lady Pain, I will join you in the corner, you are my friend and you shouldn't be there alone 2 days in a row.:sad::bat:

[Elizabetha]

*sits at the bar next to n8v outlaw* Hi-hi. :) This place is cool. LOL :D I love ginger ale, but the hot chocolate isea sounded nice. Truthfully i am craving a cold frappicino right now. :) I am SOOOO board right now, lalalalalaalalalalalalalalalalalalala. *twirls her thumbs* board, board, board. LOL :)

[Sundrop]

HI guy's, thank,s for all the warm word's after my brother died.

I'll save a place for you on the patio. It's always warm and sunny out here. :)

I will also join you in the corner LadyPain. *walks over to the corner to join LadyPain* Does someone want a hug?? :D

[LadyPain]

*slips out of the corner for a moment to grab a glass of ginger ale before hiding back in the corner*

If anyone comes looking for me, pretend I'm not here, okay? I just want to hide. Home stress.

Buckwheat's In The House !!!!

[waterlilyjaguar]

Hello to all the Tet-mates and going to check out the cantina, even though it is now
nightime here. A bit chilly in Fla. the last couple of nights (down in the 60's) so need
a large coffee and will be out on the patio.
To all in need (((((((((n8v outlaw glad things are going well for you))))))))

[LadyPain]

*slips in for a late night coke*

You know, I only set up my art studio last week. I have already finished one of my undone projects. It's nice to be able walk in and close the door and just be in a different frame of mind. This might just be the start of something good. The gods know I can't work at a job requiring high levels of manual labour forever. This might be the boost I needed. Maybe I should do my writing in there as well.

*pours one shot of Captain Morgan's dark rum into her coke, heading out the door into the night*

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Going off to a classroom training this morning, so I need a lot of black coffee and a cinnamon roll.

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

Good morning to all!:smile2:

[LadyPain]

*packs a large thermos of good coffee for Kim, and hands her a bag of homemade cinnamon rolls, with little containers of cream cheese icing on the side*

Good morning folks. Slept like crap. I think I will take a large coke to go and a couple of Pepcid Complete for what having company is doing to my stomach.

[poisonbat]

Walks into the Cantina and pats Buckwheat on the head, drops a fat mouse for him.
The construction on my roof started yesterday, but the big loud part has just started today. I feel trapped in my house, there are strangers everywhere outside, and you all know how I am in social situations. My dogs wont quit barking and the noise is terrible. I will be glad when it is all over with.
I thought that I was going to have all of my children for Halloween, but as it turns out, I will have none of them. For some unknown reason they scheduled the SAT exam on November 1st, so my son that lives with my ex can not come down for Halloween. My daughter has drama practice on the same day, so she can not come, and my eldest son who lives with me is going to his dads to be with his brother and sister on Halloween. What a disappointment. Even my step son is going to his aunts house. That just leaves me, here and alone. I am glad that my Dad is here, but he is going home early because the kids wont be here. Oh well, I guess I will just be happy with handing out candy and watching scary movies on Halloween. My husband Hates Halloween so he will stay in our bedroom until it is over. :bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Thursday everyone. Hope all are dealing with good weather. Still chilly in Fl, but warming up.

The herbal tea looks good, I'll have a cup of warm tea today.
Off to check on the critters out back.

Afternoon to all - just stopped in to say Hi while checking out some posts. I could depend hours here & just get lost. :smile2:
Unfortunately, I must work, not play.
I'll just grab a cup of coffee & drink it at my desk.

Since my daughter has gone to college, my husband & I each have our own rooms (plus the bedroom) and it's great. An upside to the empty-nest syndrome.

[poisonbat]

Oh boy I am off to yet another week of chaos. I will be glad when this is all over. I have a roof inspection today, I hope it passes. I get really nervous when people of authority come around. I had a police helicopter circling around my block last night for about 1/2 hour. It was scary. I got up and locked the sliding glass door that I usually leave open just in case someone gets locked out. I have two big dogs out there, one Rottie and one German Shepard, so I usually feel pretty safe. But for some reason that helicopter filled me with terror. I had a real hard time falling asleep even after it had gone. :eek2: I am just hoping that they got whom ever they where looking for. There was a hit and run across the street a while back, and he chose my back yard to escape through, my dog went nuts. All that they found back there though was part of a tee shirt and a pocket to some jeans that my dog had ripped off the suspect. I only had my Rottie at the time, but you could hear the man yelling "oh sh!t" as he met up with her. :bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all. Hope you survived the Halloween Candy and weekend too.

Sunny and warm in my part of the world. May weather be kind to all.

I'll have what Kim's having, but I can't hang out all day. I have to take my cat (who has been living with my husband's little sis for several months ... long story) to the vet this afternoon. They called me last night to let me know he hasn't been eating or acting right and has lost a lot of weight. He's 14, but that's not that old for an indoor cat, right? :(

Good morning, I think. I will have to think about it for a while. I need a latte with an extra shot of espresso and four shots of vanilla syrup. Blast that leftover nightmare bit out of my head!

[sheba41]

Hello you all, hope that your weekend was nice. Mine was except that I had to call 112 for the first time in my life .There was a fight at my favorite cafe and everyone went nuts. When there was a man on the ground outside and he did not react I called the cops and an ambulance. .......so now I am in for a coffee....

[Eleese of Gilead.]

Good Day.
It's going to be a fun week at work. We are fundraising for the United Way, this past lunch hour I played Rock Band while others joined a poker tournament. Woo Hoo!

John, I have not recovered. In fact I am rather ill. Which is too bad because all week articling students are going around the floors with baked goods...me oh my. I can't be blamed however, there were hardly any trick or treaters (about 5 groups), it's actually quite sad. I hope the tradition doesn't become obsolete....
