Good morning to all!:smile2:

(((((All tet-mates in need)))))

[aussiewonder]

Good morning all, havent quite woke up yet, perhaps if I pour the coffee straight into
my eyeballs it will take effect faster!

[poisonbat]

It is raining on my unfinished roof this morning, hope the plastic holds up. This is not good news. I hope it quits soon. We need the rain don't get me wrong, but I wish it would have waited until next week when things around here were done. It may even interfere with my plans to go to the shelter.:glare: I guess we will have to wait and see. I will take a large coffee and head over to bean bag central and warm up a bit. :bat:

Please vote today, it really counts.

[Kim L.]

Love Jake's sign!

[Sundrop]

Hi Y'all!

[poisonbat]

Love Jakes patriotism. It doesn't matter who or what you vote for, just vote. :bat:

[Todash]

I'm feeling up today; Ace's bloodwork came back, and he does not have diabetes or organ failure of any kind. It's probably hyperthyroidism, which is quite treatable, or maybe allergies, which is also treatable (further tests underway). So I think I'll have a mocha frappucino to celebrate. ((())) to everyone else whose day isn't going quite so well.

awps!

[poisonbat]

Of course my roof leaked, I have pots everywhere. I called the roofer and he came right away and covered the leaky spots better. :glare: It is supposed to be sunny for the rest of the week, but today sucks. :sad::bat:

[Spideyman]

Todash, glad to hear the kitty is OK.
Poisonbat- as they say, when it rains it pours. I wish for you sunshine all all work completed very quickly.

Just checking in to say hi and happy election day to all of us Americans.
Very exciting day and let's hope our country turns around and things get more
positive for all of us.

Good Morning to all. May the day be kind. Chill in the air, so it'll be a hot cup of fresh brewed herbal tea. See you at the bean bags.


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

[poisonbat]

Well, we are looking at sunny days for the rest of the week, and my roof should be DONE today. What a week. Now to concentrate on the trees and carpet. Trees on Thursday, Carpet Friday. Then I will collapse and just veg out for a while. My husband got passionately angry last night over the election. I asked him if he voted, which I knew he hadn't, and I told him, I am not going to have an angry political debate with you over this, if you felt this strongly you should have voted so we can disagree and drop it right now.:bat:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Hope all are well--poisonbat, good to hear you've got some sunshine.
Large hot coffee, please, and I'm off to work.

[Lepplady]

Good morning dear Tet-mates!
What do we have that might soothe a queasy stomach and troubled mind?

If nothing else, I'll take a drink. Or twenty.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

I'd like to wish our DTKT a very happy 19th Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary, Denise !!!

And 'Hi' StoryTeller, welcome back, great to see you.

All well here, and thankee big-big for the pressies, Pat

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

Still celebrating here so I'll pass on the coffee today, the drinks are on me!

Long days and pleasant nights

[LadyPain]

*wanders in for a drink*

Well, I was pleased with the American election results last night. Barack has his hands full with the mess he is inheriting, but he strikes me as an intelligent man, so I think there is a chance for good to come of this.

*pours a couple of ounces of rum into a highball glass and tops it up with her morning Coke, raising it in a toast*

GO OBAMA GO!!!

:biggrin2: :biggrin2:

[Patricia A]

You are welcome John D!
I tried to fit myself into the box but the post office lady was too smart for me. I'd have sent you the moon too but curses! foiled again by the wily post mistress.

Other than lots of prayers, I've found that a good stiff Gin & Ginger tends to help me out. Gin for the mind, and Ginger for the stomach. You're welcome to join me :)

[Shasta]

I'm back! I'll take a Stoli Raspberry and Ginger and I'll take it out on the patio to pretend like I'm still on vacation!

[aussiewonder]

Happy Wednesday everyone, sun is shining, birds are singing, hubby's snoring:oo:
Who could ask for anything more!

BUCKWHEAT'S IN THE HOUSE !!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Hope all UK tetmates had a good Guy Fawkes day yesterday! Did you shoot off fireworks in his honor?
Spidey, come put your feet up and rest.
Large hot coffee, please, and a piece of apple pie a la mode.
Hugs to all, in need or not.

[Cowboy]

Howdy folks....just passing thru on my way to Holyoke. Nice to see you Buckwheat! Can I get something to wet my whistle please? Oscar????

Have a great day folks.

[poisonbat]

Good morning everyone, Hey Buckwheat (drops a fat mouse). I have my final roof inspection this morning, and the tree people are supposed to be here in about a half hour. He was supposed to come by yesterday, but never showed up. Flake. If he doesn't show up today, I will go with another tree trimmer. There are many to choose from here. My roof looks beautiful, they did a great job. I am glad that they are done pounding on it all day. The carpet people will be here Friday between 8am and 6pm. huh? They would not give me a specific time, that sucks. Oh well, at least it will be done. I will be glad to have the weekend off. My husband is playing Crisis on the computer in my bedroom and doesn't care that I want to go to sleep at night. This is the second time I have had to go sleep elsewhere due to the noise. Doesn't seem fair to me. He came in and woke me up after he was done playing and asked me if I wanted to come to bed, I just glared at him:glare: rolled over and went back to sleep. I have had a horrible time adjusting to the time change and my sleep window is off. He doesn't seem to care and that bothers me. I am oh so quiet when HE is trying to sleep, once again this is not returned to me.:bat:

[LadyPain]

I think I will take a coke this morning. In an hour, we take my father-in-law to the airport. YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!!!! :blush:

All tet mates, i am upset and i want to cry. I just found out yesterday that my uncle shot himself in the chest... :( *Goes to hide in the corner, where LP was, to cry*

So sorry to hear that, Elizabetha. We are here with you, cry all you need to.
(((((Elizabetha)))))

[Elizabetha]

Good, because right now, i need to. Because like just 2 months ago my grandfather died, than my aunt, then my dogs and cats, and then my uncles fiance, who was really nice, and now my uncle himself. So much death in my family... i don't know how i am going to be able to handle it. :( Sorry to be such a bummer, i just need to vent a little. :(

[Shasta]

Elizabetha - I am so sorry to hear of your losses! We will be thinking of you!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Friday! For those of you playing along Down Under, that's happy Saturday!
Hope all is well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well.
Large hot coffee and a plate of cinnamon toast please, and I'll be hanging out by the beanbags. Company welcome, as always.

Many huggles to elizabetha, and to all Tet-mates, in need or not.

As for me, I think I'm taking a break from the board. I know I often tend to wander off and forget to come in for a drink or for lunch. Most importantly for the company of good people and good friends. I get caught up with whatever's going on in my life, whether it's my family or my book, and I just take it for granted.

This isn't going to be like that.
Over the last few days, I've seen people turn against each other on another thread, and attack each other viciously for expressing their own views. Including me for mine. It's frightening to me that otherwise very cool people can turn on each other so quickly, and with such dedicated intensity. To me, it's symptomatic on a small scale of what's happening on a much larger scale out there in the "real" world.
I do NOT want to start that discussion up again here, or anywhere else. I just want to take a step back and sort out how to deal with that.
I adore you all.

MadamMack has a birthday this weekend (on Nov. 9) and I'd like to send her a birthday greeting and thank her for the way she encourages newcomers to use the board and the special features like the private messaging and the social groups. I think of her as our Greeter!

Charlotte, have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for the encouragement, humor and good cheer that you spread to the SKMB.:grinning:

Ok, so it's been, what, a million years since I last posted? School keeps me so busy I can barely think straight..... but now that the semester is almost over I'll have more time to hang out with my fellow Tet-Mates!!! :)

[Shasta]

I am bound and determined to quit smoking in real life but here in the Cantina I'd like to bum a smoke. Anyone? Please?

I'll be on the beanbags, sulking and drinking hot tea with TONS of cream and sugar.

[bopropadop]

Happy Monday! The coffee cup is now empty so let the day begin...

[Sundrop]

Good Morning Y'all :)

I'm heading out to my favorite spot on the patio to soak up some sun :)

[aussiewonder]

Just popping in to say hello, and wish everyone a great week!:biggrin2:

[Srbo]

I have absolutely no idea why it took me EIGHT months to pop in here and have a beer and a smoke...
And of course, a " glass of good talk " like they would say back home...:biggrin2:

So, howdy and...darn, I lost my lighter...anyone ? :biggrin2:

[poisonbat]

The work at my house is finally over! Yea, I am looking forward to this week of peace. My dad went home last night, he was supposed to stay a few days, but wound up spending 2 weeks. I love my dad a lot, but I don't want to live with him. :oo: My son's best friend whom I consider another son, totaled his car yesterday, slid on ice and had both front tires hanging off of the side of the mountain. He was very lucky that he did not go over completely. He is going to be staying with us for a while, he goes to school here in town and has no car to get back and forth. I guess I will be taking him. He is a good kid and I love him. I am just looking forward to a noiseless day. No pounding, no chain saws etc. I will take a large green tea with lots of honey and be out on the patio. Oh and Shasta Here's your smoke. Tosses an e-smoke. :smile2::bat:

Sulking??? What's up Shasta? Can we help? Sorry I can't help you with the smoke but I'm sure someone will be along to share.:biggrin2:

I hope everybody has a FABULOUS week!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone and happy Monday!
(The sooner we acknowledge Monday, the sooner it will be over.)
Elizabetha, hope you are feeling a bit better today. MadamM, hope you had a fabulous time turning 100! Welcome, Srbo!

I'll take a large hot coffee and some peanut-butter cookies and wander out to the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather & kick back with a good book. Please feel free to drop by and have a cookie.

[Shasta]

Sulking??? What's up Shasta? Can we help? Sorry I can't help you with the smoke but I'm sure someone will be along to share.:biggrin2:

*wanders in close to lunchtime, stopping by Shasta to give her a cyber cigarrette that has been dipped in clear plastic*

Sometimes it is just the need for an oral fixation. You can suck the end of the plastic smokes with no harm to you, and if you dip them in melted dark chocolate, at least you'll get some vitamin A.

As for me, I'll take a 2 litre bottle of Coke to go and a package of chocolate-covered espresso beans to have here. I'll just be sitting in a chair out on the patio. Hopefully it is not raining. I do see sun out of my own window at the moment. *crosses fingers*

Good morning everyone. I have weathered a great storm, but have come through in the end. I have had 2 days of great stress. I wont go into it, but man some people just don't know how to do their jobs. Spent countless hours on the phone for simple requests. I am looking forward to today, it should be pretty much stress free. At least I hope so.

Shasta how is it going without the smokes? If you make it, let me know how you did it ok? :bat:

Good Whatever Everyone!!!

Good vibes etc required for Purrrtricia's new cat, Friendrick (Fred) who is quite unwell. I'm recovering remarkably well from birthday bash, surprisingly.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Poisonbat, sorry to hear you went through such a tough time; put your feet up and relax. You too, Spidey.
Shasta, I know quitting smoking is tough, but you can do it. Try celery sticks or carrot sticks or chewing on a pencil (don't think your dentist would agree with that last one :biggrin2:)

(((((All tetmates, in need or not)))))

[Shasta]

Thanks for the advice Kim! I'll go to the store tonight as the last thing I want is an orthodontist bill!

So far so good, Poisonbat! I think the key was that my husband (8 and a half years older than me) is about to have a birthday and I really wanted him to quit so it's motivating me to do so. I went from 20 a day to 2 for the last three days then (hopefully) today - none!

*wanders in, closing the door against the strong winds*

Nassssssty weather here today. All I want to do is go back to bed. It's ugly out there.

I think I need a hot cup of tea with extra sugar and cream this morning to deal with this mess. Life goes on. It is sure nice not to have company in my house. It'll would be even nicer if my man cleaned up the mess he made since he came home. He came home to a clean house and within a couple of hours it looked like a bomb had gone off. I'll clean up my messes, but he should really take care of his. I'm not his mother.

Come to think of it, maybe I need a brandy instead of the tea.

(((All in need)))

Shasta, a friend of mine went through a lot of freezies when she quit smoking. Some people chew gum, but be aware that some artificial sweeteners act kind of like laxatives when you consume too much. Best of luck in your quest, darlin'.

Hope all are well--and hugs to those who aren't. Ah, what the heck, hugs for everybody!

I wish I could send you some sunshine. It was about 80* here yesterday and quite pleasant. You could come sit on my porch and soak up some rays.

I had a wonderful day yesterday. Spent most of it playing with the dogs and kitties at the shelter. Saw two get new homes yesterday. It is bittersweet watching them go. You get so attached and involved with them, then they are gone. But the homes that these two went to were super great. We were able to get the loan, but the first payment is due in January, so lets hope things get better for us.

How ya handling things Shasta? I do hope you are doing well. I don't know what a freezie is, but LP is right about sugarless gum. Been there done that.:glare::eek2::bat:

[Volic]

Hello to everyone.:smile2:

[LadyPain]

Okay, I need some good vibes folks...

At work, with the hour cuts and a pissy cashier manager, I am being shorted out of shifts that I should have access to. It's making it so I won't be able to pay the bills. My husband works in Canadian publishing, which in the greater scheme of things is small potatoes.

I have to go and talk to the owner and the acting manager at work to see if the situation can be remedied somehow and find out what the future holds. I am also considering asking everyone in management for a letter of reference to help me find supplementary work.

I also need to give my art a real go and see if I can make some money off of it. I guess I have to be Superwoman to try to sort this crap out.

Just seeing that schedule last night made me feel ill.

Please, send good energy. At this point I am uncertain of where things are headed.

[Moderator]

Good vibes coming your way. (((LadyPain)))

[LadyPain]

Thank you, Ms. Mod.

Good (and Groovy?) vibes to any that need them.
As for me I am still recovery and not drinking.
Neat thing is my latest girlfriend is no drugs and alcohol. It is nice to have someone right beside me in this, because where we live there are too many young ones my age (26) that are too busy drugging and drinking. I all ready have two people looking up to me and more are coming forward each day.
I am just being me, the Wolf, the Poet, and the Native Outlaw.

((((((((((((((((Star, LadyPain, Mack, KA-TET Mates))))))))))))))))))))

Remember how Roland kept telling Eddy it is Ka, well I am agreeing with Eddy for once... "It's Kaka."
Just makes me smile, that is why I like when Eddy does that to stiff Roland. :biggrin2:

[Moderator]

That's great news, Outlaw! Congratulations to you and hope things continue to go well for you. :smile2:

[Kim L.]

Prayers/ good thoughts / good vibes for you, (((((Lady Pain)))))

And congratulations, outlaw!

[LadyPain]

Thanks for the vibes folks. I went in and had a talk with the manager. As soon as she saw me, she said the schedule was going to be changed. We talked for quite a while and a lot got sorted out. I will be given a letter of reference so I can look for supplementary work. She hopes I can't find something because she doesn't want to lose me. I reassured her that I WANT to be there. (I hate job hunting. I want that job because I will be trained to manage the place over the next several years.)

Reader's Digest version of this is that the folks on top will keep on looking out for me when the cashier manager decides to pull her dirty tricks, but I have to trust them.

In the meantime, I should toss on some laundry and then go work on my art. The big plan is that I make enough larger scale pieces for an eventual exhibit in 2011 (2010 would be pushing things with the way the application process works) while still making enough smaller art things to sell along the way.



I also bought a copy of Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box. :smile2:

[Kitten]

I haven't read through many of the posts lately. I've been checking on the new section on the board... "The Office". Did anyone notice? It opens Thanksgiving morning! Ahhhh! I can't wait!

And to everyone else, hey, Don' worry, be happy, tomorrow is Friday......Smile, mon. :biggrin2:





BTW, Spidey, thank you SO much for remembering Buckwheat all this time, but there's kind of a story with my slithery babies......
So, last year, I had to return Buckwheat to the wild, as he went off his feed. As I had already been through losing one baby to anorexia, I did not want to go through the same ordeal with Buckwheat, and since I knew he was fully capable of taking care of himself, I took him back to where he rightfully belonged. This was also around the time that I quit the MB, so none of you knew about it, obviously......
At any rate, here about a month ago now I went out and bought a little milk snake, which I have named "Pyro". Pyro is doing extremely well, and I would love it if he would be welcomed as warmly as Buckwheat was? I understand the Thursday rule will still stand, which is totally ok, but....yeah.


Now. Everyone go out there and have a fantabulous weekend! I love you guys! :biggrin2:

Fear not, PYRO will be just as welcome. I'll add his name to the sign.

Since a snake has been showing up at the Cantina each Thursday- I am sure it is Buckwheat coming in TODASH. So,if it OK with you, Thursday will just be Buckwheat and Pyro Day:smile2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

I can not believe what happened at my husbands work last week. They laid off 22 workers and closed 3 yards. They said that there just wasn't enough work for the senior drivers. My husband is a senior driver, and has been hurting for hours. He is used to about 50 hours and was getting about 38. I feel bad for these people, one of the drivers that was laid off has a newborn baby just 2 weeks old. Sure now my husband is back up to 50+ hours a week, but my heart goes out to those who lost their jobs in this hard time. All together the trucking company he works for laid off 1,500 workers.:sad::bat:

[LadyPain]

*wanders in*

I think I need a big cup of tea this morning. My husband was too warm in the middle of the night, so he pushed his covers off. It tends to mean that he flips them over onto me. I woke up feeling like I was being steamed. Ick.

Maybe I should make that an ICED tea...

Happy Friday, folks!

[StoryTellerRose]

Fear not, PYRO will be just as welcome. I'll add his name to the sign.

Since a snake has been showing up at the Cantina each Thursday- I am sure it is Buckwheat coming in TODASH. So,if it OK with you, Thursday will just be Buckwheat and Pyro Day:smile2::eek2::eek2:


Sounds fantastic to me! :biggrin2:

[Fieryness]

Hello All,

I haven't been into the Cantina before but have heard good things :wink2:. If a latte is to fancy I'll take a big cup of Joe.
Happy Friday, and hope you all have wonderful weekend plans...

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone !!!

And welcome, Fieryness, grab a pew.

Well, what a fantastic week it's been for the birthday of a Stephen King fan. First of all, I read The Long Road Home (and passed him on for his own long road), then Just After Sunset, the great reports and poems from Mass. followed by the podcast of the event, the Borders interview, the publication date for Under The Dome, and now the news of a new novella - 'Mortality' and the possibility of a Castles game in the future!

Phew! I'm breathless, with an overflowing cup!!!!

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

Large Irish coffee please and a CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

PS - I've started both a thread and a social group to discuss Just After Sunset - All very welcome, of course.

Good Morning to all. Hope everyone had a good weekend. The hot herbal tea will be just right this morning. Off to bean bag central. Come join me-

Since StoryTellerRose has returned, starting this Thursday we'll have another snake visitor "PYRO". He and Buckwheat promise to be extra good.

Just dropped by to say I missed this forum very much!!! I have been away for about three weeks (terrible feeling!) as I have not been online much, plus my trip to Romania on Halloween and all that... so finally I'm back to this wonderful forum and you, my friends and fellow SK fans!^^

had a bad weekend, some plans went sour, so here's to a hopefully better week ahead! *cheers*

[Kim L.]

Kim -

Did you keep the kitten?????

Oh, Shasta, I wish I could have and I still miss him. :sad:
But we have two 15-year old cats at home and it didn't seem fair to the little guy to bring him into a situation where at least one of them (Crow, the Evil Boy) would have tried to beat him up.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Fieryness, welcome--anything you want, we can bring it.
John, what a great birthday week you had, and may there be many more like it.
Poisonbat, really sorry to hear about your husband's work.

We went to Yosemite for the weekend--I'd never been there before and I fell in love: the forest, the granite cliffs, the falls... Still a bit stiff and sore from climbing on boulders to get to the base of Yosemite Falls, just to feel the spray on my face and dip my finger in the stream.

Large hot coffee and a couple of pieces of cinnamon toast, please.

(((((Tetmates)))))

PS Shasta, I took the kitten to the Adopt-A-Pet Center, where one of the workers fell in love with him (easy to do).

Hi ruthie! I remember you. You're the wanderer. In fact I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if you were OK. Welcome back.:smile2:

I'll be over in the beanbags by the fireplace finishing up 'Just After Sunset' and enjoying my Toaster Strudle. Yumm!

Have a great week everybody!!!

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

Woke up in the middle of the night (re-reading Insomnia at the moment LOL) with a streaming cold from all facial orifices and am having typical male over-reaction to mild illness, i.e wrapping up on sofa and going to finally watch The Mist, hope all manner of things may be well with everyone and theirs. Hi Ruthie, nice to see you!

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

Dose of Night Nurse, some cough mixture, two painkillers and some chicken soup por favor. I'll be on the sofa with the runny nose and eyes, quilt and sorry-for-oneself demeanour.

Long days and pleasant nights

[poisonbat]

It is with a sad heart that I walk into the Cantina, So. Cal. is burning down. :sad:http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/11/17/california.fires/?iref=mpstoryview#cnnSTCVideo You can watch here. All that we have is smoke, but so many people have lost their homes and lives. There was something weird that happened here in Yucaipa last night. There was a sound like an explosion that shook our neighborhood last night, I called 911 4 times and got a busy signal, got through on the 5th try. They said that they were already on the way to investigate it, so I let it go. But the weird part is, there were absolutely NO sirens. Not a single one all night. Not one police car drove up my street, nothing. :eek2: I looked on the web under our local news this morning again nothing. It is very strange. :glare: I guess I will have to take a drive this morning and see if there is any police tape up somewhere. But not a single siren? Very weird indeed.:bat:

[bopropadop]

Good morning all and happy Monday. A coffee for me please - black, no sugar.

[Volic]

Good morning to all!:biggrin2:

[Todash]

Just water for me, thanks. I already had coffee.

[Shasta]

I'm sick and working from home so I have everything that I need but I still wanted to pop in and say hello!

[LadyPain]

*walks in carrying a big box of the GOOD facial tissue, a thermos bottle of soup, and a bottle of hand sanitizer for John*

Take care of yourself, mate. The cold I caught six weeks ago became pneumonia and my lungs only just finished clearing two days ago. Don't go pushing yourself too hard.


*helps herself to a latte and a couple of Pepcid* I have a lot to do today. Too much to do in order to call it a day off. Might as well get the caffeine going full force.

(((all in need)))

[sheba41]

I am glad to be here.....all the busy thing's....so I am going to sit whereever there is a comfy seat and enjoy you people talk.....maybe I fall asleep.
Get well soon Shasta!

*wanders in*

Holy blue batcrap! In the next six months, work is going to change drastically for my husband. Heard some stuff that is confidential so I can't say at all, but it's suddenly very stressful for us both. Could go good or it could go very, very bad.

Good vibes please! Lots of stuff to get in order in the next six months just in case things really go down the toilet.

*slips off into a corner with two of the biggest lattes ever seen, a notebook, a sketchbook, and a stash special brownies to help the creativity flow*


I will share the brownies to those in need. I tend to make them potent so there are lots of bite-sized bits of joy here.

End of the day so... Maker's Mark on the rocks please...

And good vibes to you, LadyPain. I hope everything turns out well for you and your husband.

:blush: Er, damn infection is back but I am putting up one hell of a fight. I noticed this mornin' the swelling is down. That is a sign of me getting better. It is rather embarrassing to name the place so I won't say where. Same place as it was earlier this year.

Good morning to all, fixing to have my 4th cup of coffee, and see if I can get something
positive going today.

[Shasta]

Everyone's sick. So sad to see.

As I am a Christmas Elf I think I will take a hot chocolate with whip cream and red sprinkles. A big one!!!! Does the Cantina get decorated for Christmas?

(Yes, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet. I hate Thanksgiving - or as I call it, Turkey Murder Day - so I ignore it.)

[poisonbat]

Good morning everyone, I am glad to see you all. I received a care package from our Shasta for YAPS. Thank you so much. Today is the only day that I am going to be able to go to the shelter, so much going on the next few days. OH well, things can change. I will take a large coffee and be in bean bag central. Oh and there is still absolutely nothing in the news about our explosion the other night, and the cops aren't talking. Kinda makes you wonder...hmm? I wish I could have one of your brownies LP, but no can do. They make me weird, uh weirder than I normally am. :eyebrow::bat:

Why do you start your first post with a thumbs down? I would be thrilled to have met the King twice. I wish for once in my lifetime. I don't think there is an actual place where Pet Sematary took place except in Kings mind. I could be wrong, but that is how I take it. Your font looks nice and I like the purple. Your post wont look the same while you are typing it, only after it has been moderated and posted. Hang in there kay? :bat:

Good Morning, Everyone!
Welcome, Saint! Congratulations on meeting Sk twice.
Spidey, sorry to hear SusanN's daughter has pneumonia--hope she doesn't have to be hospitalized. And good to know that Charms survived her 1st day back to work.
John, hope you're feeling better.
We can decorate the Cantina for Christmas, Shasta, last year we had a beautiful tree inside and another one outside, to guide tetmates to the door. (Love Thanksgiving, though--you don't have to have turkey--make Fettucine Alfredo, if you prefer :smile2:)

Greetings to all! Large hot coffee, please, and I'm off to the booth in the back by the beanbags.

Hi Y'all!!

Woke up this morning to a really pretty snow. It's cold, but the snow is beautiful!!

Good Afternoon to all! Could I get a ice cold Coca-cola please. I am going over to one of the bean-bags to take a virtual nap.

Hey all! Just getting ready to go to work, thought I'd drop in and say hey; hope everyone has a fantabulous day! :biggrin2:

Good morning, everyone! I have blue sky today. That is a pretty reasonable start, don't you think? I even slept in. That truly happens only twice a year or so. Wow. That felt good.

Kim, I completed a drawing for a card last night. So there was some creativity. :biggrin2:

I need something a little bit stronger this morning instead of my tea. I think I will take a 4-pk of Red Bull to go. There is much to do today before I go in to work. I wish I could clone myself so I could allow a lot more time for reading and art. This business of earning a living really takes a bite out of the free time.

I wish you all long days and pleasant nights.:biggrin2:Yeah,I see DT connections everywhere - turtles on TV,think of roses constantly,I found myself looking at the sky one day,just to see the directions of the clouds.:laugh:
Weird stuff,but I'm sure many of you will understand.
I am off,to continue my journey!

Take care,everybody!

Good evening everyone! I'd like to have a hot chocolate with just a touch of ... let's say Kentucky Jack hehe ^^... another one in the roll of very stressful days, but I'm holding on to something ( a cliff maybe haha), listening to my favourite band The 69 Eyes, and hoping I'll get a visa next year so I can see them live... it's very cold outside, frost welcomed me this morning, but inside it's rather warm, two of my cats are inside and I'm thinking the best way to emerge from these frustrating situations is to start another book!

Good morning everyone, I hope all are well. I just popped in to grab a large hot coffee and the hit bean bag central for awhile. I has been unseasonably warm here for quite a while, highs in the 90's and upper 80's, that hasn't helped with our firestorm, but they are finally getting it under control.:smile2::bat:

Good afternoon Y'all.....Snow's already gone, and now it's just plain cold.....I'd rather have the snow. Think I'll grab a large mug of white mocha and sit by the fireplace for a while. We do have a fireplace, don't we??:oo:

Good morning all.....large mug of strong black coffee please....thank you! *sips* aaaa.....the smell is just as good as the taste..... =)

So, I've got a question for you music junkies out there. I got to thinking about songs like "Tuesday Afternoon", "Bloody Sunday", and the like; now, there are songs for Saturday....Cat Stevens' "Another Saturday Night" comes to mind....songs for Sunday, like U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday"....songs for Monday, such as The Bangles' "Manic Monday"......and of course, who can forget The Moody Blues' "Tuesday Afternoon"?

Now, what I'm very curious about, is......where are the songs for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday? Anyone have any ideas?

Large hot coffee and a couple of slices of cinnamon toast, please. Love to all tetmates.

[poisonbat]

Good morning everyone, Pats Buckwheat and Pyro on the head and drops 2 mice this time. I would have brought Grim to visit with you two, but he is shedding and not in the mood. I was so happy yesterday, we had 4 adoptions at the shelter. 3 dogs and 1 kitty. They all went to exceptional homes. I find myself longing to be there, I just love it. I didn't think I would make it yesterday, as we had a man come to move our DSL line. He came early enough so that he was done just at 11am, the time the shelter opens. I left my folded laundry on my unmade bed and just left. This is so unlike me. But the urge to get down to the shelter out weighed my obsession for finishing what I started. I am happy, I finally found somewhere where I make a difference. They told me that I was Valuable to them, so much more valuable than I even realize. It has been so very long since someone told me that I was valuable. This really gave me a boost to my self confidence. Secondly, since I started volunteering at the shelter I have lost 8 pounds. Something that I have tried to do for a long time, but never succeeded. I guess it is just the extra exercise that I am getting. I guess that I want some new clothes for Christmas, these don't really fit me anymore. :smile2::bat:

[Lepplady]

I keep walking past the place, looking in the window to see if there are any familiar faces, so I might as well go ahead and come inside. It's cold out there, and a nice hot cup of spiced tea might be just the trick to warm up these old bones. Maybe a cinnamon bun. I'm a little hungry, so ......... WHAT THE...
...SNAKE!!!
Damn it, Buckwheat. Get off my leg.

[Speedy2]

Hello Everyone - could I get a LARGE Raspberry Stoli on the rocks please? What is up with some people, when they leave you after upmteen years of marriage with a kid and then expect you to bow to their every whim....? Sorry, I will be quiet now and go sit in a corner and calm down a bit.

Thanks for the Cantina, it is the only place that I actually "drink". By the way, Hi Buckwheat and Pyro. I was gonna bring some pinkies for you but I forgot in all the hustle and bustle of the day.

Congrats on the new work at the Shelter Poisonbat, I am looking at adopting a cat in the spring when the weather warms up around our area.

[n8v_outlaw]

*Wolf sways into the Cantina and drops three mice before Buckwheat. One is still twitching* Oh my, that one is faking his death! Eat it Buckwheat.

*He sits in a soft lazy chair* Raining, damp and cold... Things my hip don't like... Damn bus. Any hoo, thank you for all the prayers and get well wishes. Yes the week is almost over. I am going to crawl back in bed. Tonight I take my last pill for the infection. I will be sticking to the water and staying sober. Yay! Maybe I will be getting healthy yet.

I think I'll take some mandarin orange spice tea and head off to snuggle under the covers.

I understand not wanting to read through all the back posts because there are a LOT of them, but Pyro is indeed a new playmate for Buckwheat. FYI, to help out in the future, there's a section called Search this Thread at the top right where you can search through individual threads to find info. Hope that helps.

Good morning everyone and happy Friday. I am excited, I get to see my daughters drama performance tonight. She has been at rehearsal every day and Saturday for months now. The play is Peter Pan, and she is a lost boy. ? She is a girl, but we will see how well she pulls this off. Until then I will take a large green tea and join Kim and Spidey in the bean bags. Love to all.:bat:

[mstay]

Hello Everyone - could I get a LARGE Raspberry Stoli on the rocks please? What is up with some people, when they leave you after upmteen years of marriage with a kid and then expect you to bow to their every whim....? Sorry, I will be quiet now and go sit in a corner and calm down a bit.

Thanks for the Cantina, it is the only place that I actually "drink". By the way, Hi Buckwheat and Pyro. I was gonna bring some pinkies for you but I forgot in all the hustle and bustle of the day.

Congrats on the new work at the Shelter Poisonbat, I am looking at adopting a cat in the spring when the weather warms up around our area.

Hey Speedy2, I'll join you in the corner. I'm sorry you're having a bad time.:sad: I hope it gets better.

I'm glad I missed Thursday with two snakes!:eek2:

Have a good weekend everyone!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Have a great weekend, everyone !!!

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

Long days and pleasant nights

[Kim L.]

I keep walking past the place, looking in the window to see if there are any familiar faces, so I might as well go ahead and come inside. It's cold out there, and a nice hot cup of spiced tea might be just the trick to warm up these old bones. Maybe a cinnamon bun. I'm a little hungry, so ......... WHAT THE...
...SNAKE!!!
Damn it, Buckwheat. Get off my leg.

Great to see you back, Lepplady!

[interplanetjanet]

I understand not wanting to read through all the back posts because there are a LOT of them, but Pyro is indeed a new playmate for Buckwheat. FYI, to help out in the future, there's a section called Search this Thread at the top right where you can search through individual threads to find info. Hope that helps.

HUH Look at that......I guess I just learned my 1 new thing for the day.
Thanks Ms. MOD

[LadyPain]

*slips in, absolutely aching with the storm blowing through*

I hate this time of the year. We get month after month of rain and wind storms and I ache like hell. I'm walking like I am eighty years old! Yuck. I think I will take a tall, cold glass of coke and sit it up on the top rail of the shower door when I leave here. I need a hot shower.

I went to an art supply store yesterday. It was nice to walk in and be blown away yet again by the selection. Tonight I go back to work for a four days. I am looking forward to my days off so I can REALLY get into some new art supplies. I was drawing in bed last night. I just had to try out something...

Well, I want to read a couple of threads and then it's off to the shower for me.

Have a good day, everyone.

((((ALL in need))))

Hey Kim, I had a Steve Tyler dream once... all we did was sit and talk, but it was during an extremely crazy time in my life and it was nice to have a few sane moments, even if just in a dream.

[waterlilyjaguar]

To all Tet-Mates, have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving too!!!!!
I only have to work three days this week so looking forward to a nice long mini-
vacation.
Heading out to the cantina in the am with a hot cup of coffe....see you all there.

I sometimes dream that Tom Petty and I are neighbors--not super close but enough to wave & say hi to.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Monday! Where is November going? Thursday is my brother's birthday (and also Thanksgiving), then it's into December & then 2009 and then the 2010s...and then the 20s...and retirement...and then I'll turn 100 like MadamMack and then Stephen can retire. JK.
Better start off with coffee first, please, and a plate of cinnamon toast and off to work I go.

[StoryTellerRose]

Hey peoples!
Wow, I never knew my slithery babies would be such a hit! I'm glad they're getting along so well on Thursdays! Thanks, everyone, for being so welcoming with them!

And, I guess I have been away; what's up with Charms7?
Poisonbat, I'm so glad to hear that you're this happy! Way to go!
N8tivOutlaw, you are awesome man, keep up the good work!!!
And to everyone else......"Don' worry, be happy, life is beautiful!" :biggrin2:


Have a fantabulous week, everyone!!!!!!!!!

[Spideyman]

Good Monday. Hope everyone had a safe and happy weekend. For those in snow, stay warm; and for those in heat, stay cool. I think Mother Nature is going through menopause:blush: Totally weird weather year. Then again, it is Leap Year.

For all leaving early for the holidays- Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Am off with a cup of herbal tea . See you at bean bag central......

Was sent here to spread my newbie wings!!! This Irish girl loved the thought of Irish coffee! Having one right now on my day off!!! Chatter here appears light hearted and my cup of "tea" will continue to read. Thanks for the morning laugh! Needed it!!!

[Cowboy]

Good morning...hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I must say, it is my favorite Holiday of the year. I always start out the day doing a little deer hunting, then eating wonderful food the rest of the day and spending time with family while we watch Football.

[poisonbat]

I sometimes dream that Tom Petty and I are neighbors--not super close but enough to wave & say hi to.

I have had many dreams where I am in a sheiks tent all wrapped in beautiful fabrics and he kisses me passionately, but I always wake up before the good part. Why a sheik? I have no idea, I just find them unusually sexy.:blush::bat:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

All good here, finally threw off the lingering effects of the common cold, though the weather is very cold - I hope all manner of things may be well with you and yours.

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

Large Irish coffee please and a CFC por mi novia.

Long days and pleasant nights

[LadyPain]

Good morning folks! It's grey and foggy here, but it is NOT raining. I guess that means I am having beautiful November weather. Usually at this time of year, storm after storm blows through here. A few years ago, there were THREE WEEKS when we received eight inches of rain each day. That was not a good time. Given the choice, I will take 'dry' anytime, no matter what the colour of the sky is.

It's been a crazy weekend. On Saturday I was going like a weasel on crack at work, just trying to get through the night. They gave us a big promo weekend without enough staffing hours, as usual. Corporate is heartless. They are stripping our staff down to almost nothing, yet still expect the work to be done.

I need a big pot of chai. I'll just be hiding off in a corner for a while with a book.

Just dropped in to wish everyone a happy holiday, wont be able to come to the board for a while, going to go and get mother-in-law, tomorrow, she will be here thru the week-end. Appreciate any good vibes, that I dont mess up Thanksgiving dinner!

John glad your feeling better, just got over a cold myself!

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all.

It appears Gallina(Volic) is still without internet service.

Charms peeks in and send Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all. She hope to net connection soon.


Sunny and warm by me, so I'll have an iced herbal tea and meet you at bean bag central.

[poisonbat]

Good morning all. My mom arrived yesterday and we did our holiday shopping, what a madhouse, and my dad will arrive today. I must admit, I am not looking forward to this at all. This is one holiday that I would love to skip. I miss my kids so badly, and I have nothing to read right now. I guess I will pick a new/old book out of my bookshelf and take a journey of some sorts. I savored JAS, but alas it has been read. I would like to just hide out somewhere for the next week, but I can not do that either. So I will just hide in the corner somewhere and have a large hot coffee with that creamer I like so well. It is supposed to rain here for the next 3-4 days, so today is the only day I will get to go to the shelter so I will make the most of it.:sad::bat:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Looks like another busy day, so I'll take a large hot coffee and a couple of cinnamon-and-sugar doughnuts (I never have any in real life but they're SO good) and head out. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Time to polish the silver tonight.

[LadyPain]

Good day, folks. I have a request for a coworker of mine. She is in desperate need of some good vibes. She's been under a lot of stress since her dad passed away a couple of months ago. There's a family history of lupus on her mom's side. The stress is making her immune system go totally batsh*t. She almost died yesterday morning. She was bleeding under her skin in huge hive-like puddles, her kidneys were breaking down, and she was in a lot of pain. They have her on high doses of prednisone at the moment, but she is really having a hard time mentally.

I keep on telling her not to give up in pushing for tests for lupus, even if just to rule it out. She will keep trying. I am so worried about her.

Please send some good energy for her. If you need a name to focus on, it's Trisha. I don't think she'd mind her first name out on the web.

I need caffeine. I think I will grab a tea and go.

[SusanNorton]

My mother passed the family silver down to me when I took over Thanksgiving a few years ago. I was thrilled; all memories of my mother staying up until the wee hours of the morning, polishing forks, knives, trays, etc., had somehow disappeared. Most years I don't use the silver, because I can't be bothered. (Horrible, aren't I?)

[hipmamajen]

Lady Pain, I will keep your coworker in my thoughts.

I'm having a day of extreme gratitude. I've seen a lot of people around me having bad times, and I'm glad, glad, glad to be me and to live my boring life!

All is good here, and anything that isn't is fixable. :)

[stella]

Good vibes sending now to Trisha to soften this hard period of her life.

Wish you all Happy Thanks Giving.

A sweet red wine for me please

I am in the same kind of pain that sent me to the doc last month. *shrugs* Stress.

I am very grateful to you and all of the others who are sending a few good thoughts to my coworker. If I see her at all in the next day or so (I work tonight) I will tell her that there are folks pullin' for her. I will be keeping her in my own thoughts constantly.

[dividedgrlofmine]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

There's going to be 23 people crammed into one tiny, little house. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers - lol. I'll do the same for all of you as the Holiday Stress begins.

:biggrin2:

[Lepplady]

Heya dear Tet-mates. I hope everybody's getting ready for a happy holiday.
As for us, we've got a funeral tomorrow. My ex mother-in-law passed away. She and I weren't particularly close, especially since I divorced her son, but I did respect her a great deal, and after all, she's my kid's grandmother. So it's a blow to the family.
We're hoping that the togetherness of Thanksgiving helps to heal the family, and be grateful for the life she led rather than dwelling on the sorrow of her passing.
Wish us luck.:smile2:

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. It will be a small gathering at my house just 5. That is good with me I guess. I got to talk to my kids last night and they are happy so I am happy for them. I have a lot of prep cooking to do today, but I am going in to the shelter. We had an adoption yesterday, "Jolly" went home, and "Lucy" goes home today. I don't care if it is raining, I must say my goodbyes. I am going to deeply miss Jolly, he is such a great dog. But he has fallen in love with the girl who is adopted him, so I am happy for him.
Lady Pain You and your coworker Trisha will be in my thoughts and prayers.:bat:

I need a Coke. I am up a little earlier than normal, but I just couldn't sleep, even though I stayed up pretty late reading Secret Windows. Too much stress. My coworker, Trish, was back in the hospital yesterday again. I am going to have to give that girl a big hug when I see her and I will tell her that there are folks out there pullin' for her.

Today is a day off. I am going to make cheesecake and work on my art, as well as catch up on some laundry and other house crap.

Have a good day everyone. Have a great Thanksgiving as well!

We weren't going to do a traditional dinner here, but then we saw everything on sale at the grocery store. Fresh turkeys for $5, no limit! Woohoo! We ended up putting on a full spread and calling some friends of the family to join us on Saturday.

Other than that, I spend the long weekend reading and knitting. :)

How are you all? I've missed you!

Hope everyone's long weekend was a good one and that all who celebrated had a happy Thanksgiving (slept for 14 hours, myself). And happy Advent to those who celebrate.

Glad to see everyone back in the cantina, seems like it has been closed forever. I wish that they wouldn't cramp so many holidays into such a short time. 3 holidays all together is just too much for me. I did buy one present over the weekend, but did it on Saturday. No way I was going into that black Friday mess. There is no bargain worth losing your life over. :glare: I hate this pressure. I guess one holiday down and 2 to go.

Hi,

A Great big 'Hi' from Purrrtricia !!!

Pat asked me to say 'Hi' to all the good MB folken, and she's looking forward to having time to get posting again. She's spent the last few weeks nursing her rescue kitteh (now deemed Half Dead Fred) back to health, which involved feeding him by hand every three hours for a while, apart from much else, but you'll be very pleased to hear that Fred is responding well to her ministrations and putting on weight and the vet is delighted with his progress.

And any time she has free from the retail book mine seems to get tied up talking to some Scots eejit!

But she'll be back and about shortly (don't call me 'shortly' LOL)

She sends hugs to all ((((((SKMB)))))

Long days and pleasant nights

Good morning dear Tet-mates! How is everybody? I hope everybody's having a great day. I'm staring 45 in the eye (tomorrow) and I guess I'm okay iwth it. I'm pretty comfortable with who I am, so I guess another day, and another year, won't make much of a difference.
Right now, I just want to dive into a pot of coffee and float around on a donut.

Yeah, I am just checking in before I go to bed. I am still kind of not doing well. My health is getting better slowly but surely. I am still not drinking and just past the second month now. December and then the holidays will be over. My doctors think that I am having a struggling issue with the holidays. :oo: Gave them this you think look.

So, what flavour is a red velvet cake? I have only heard of them.

What kind of red dye gets used? I used to be a baker and cake decorator and I remember that red was the FOULEST tasting colour I had to use, and it was generally used sparingly or with a caveat to the person requesting it.

Hi,

Did red food dye not used to be made of the crushed bodies of the female cochineal insect, a type of beetle, LadyPain? Yucch!

Long days and pleasant nights
