The Ka-Tet Cantina

[jussupoff]

I am a newbie here, and I haven't read all the posts of the thread. But I want to send my best to everyone who struggles.

I am having a stupid non-fight with my long distance non-boyfriend on msn and I am feeling crappy. I need a large latte with loads of sugar.

[waterlilyjaguar]

Glad to see everyone is fine.
We had some incredible thunder storms today, the earth actually shook. And then
the rain lasted for hours. But this is typical June weather in Fla. :smile2:
Stay cool Kim and Cowboy enjoy your vacation!
(((to all in need or not))))

[Kim L.]

What happens at Cheyenne Frontier Days? When I was in school at UNC we would get ads for Frontier Days, but I never really knew what it was about. Even though we're south of Denver now, it's still pretty much in striking distance if we wanted to go.

Hmmmmm, I'll have to learn more about it!

All I really remember is horses, picnics, horses, ice cream and horses, but that's all I really wanted anyway, so it was heaven for me.

[Spideyman]

Good Wednesday to all. Hope those in central and west coast Fl are safe after those storms last eveing.

Good to see Newbies stopping by the Cantina. All are wlecome and all foods and drinks are cyber- so no calories!

You have got to go at least once in your life! It is (IMHO) the best rodeo that you will ever see. Always lots going on and make sure if you go that you attend the pancake breakfast on the streets of Cheyenne, it is free and very memorable. The parade is a hoot also and I can't wait to go back someday.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Welcome to the Cantina, jussopoff, and I'm not surprised you haven't read all the posts in this thread, I have, but it took me eighteen months LOL

Good luck with recalcitrant non-boyfriend.

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

Large Irish coffee please.

[Daisygirl]

Mornin' Y'all! I need my caffeine fix-----large espresso please :)

Hope everyone has a happy hump day!

Great to see Daisygirl back !!!

Welcome home.

[jussupoff]

Thanks JohnDalglish, I am happy to be here! :smile2: Still getting used to the board though, so please be patient with me.:umm:

I hope you are all enjoying a sunny day like I am! And I'll have another one of those latte's...

[LadyPain]

*wanders in for a morning hit of caffeine*

Day off number TWO today. I think I'll take a four-shot latte with lots of vanilla syrup in it today. I have lots to do around here and perhaps I'll dance up a storm later.

It's pouring rain right now, but the forests around here need it. I'd rather have a good soaker once in a while than a forest fire. I live a five-minute walk from the edge of the bush, so if we had a fire on the south side of town and the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, I'd be toast.

Rodeos, huh... I haven't been to one of those since I was a little kid. I loved watching the roping and bull riding, and the chuck wagon races. Great fun.

[poisonbat]

Thank God I am out of internet hell, Needles Ca. SUCKS for internet. I am so happy to have my FIOS back :love:

I was very happy this morning because I'm now on holidays, so I can visit the mb much more often. But the news are so sad... Last night I knew about Farrah Fawcet. But I knew she was ill, so, though it was very sad, it wasn't unfortunatly so surprising.
But now I'm so shocked by the news on Michael Jackson! I can't believe it.
In Spain, and in all Europe, he is really an idol.

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. Are we ready for the weekend? Seemed like a very long week.

Sad news about the three deaths- Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. May all rest in peace.

I woke up with a darn toothache. :down: I hate this. I now need to find a dentist that I can trust and make payments to. My insurance only pays a part. I think I am in for a root canal today. :eek2::bat:

Good Morning everyone- may the start of a new week bring calm.

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

I hope everyone had a very good weekend indeed, and a great week in prospect.

Large Irish coffee please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[poisonbat]

Morning all. Large hot coffee please, I need to wake up some. It has been a rough but wonderful weekend. I wont go into details, I'll just say I am glad it is over. I am looking forward to a new week. My son graduates Thursday so this week is prep time for that. I am getting a bit worried about my weight, I am not trying, but I keep losing. I need to find a proper diet to maintain my weight. Mister scale scared me this morning when he told me 130 :eek2: I have to watch it or I can go the wrong way in a hurry. I had my root canal on Friday and spent 6 hours waiting in the dental office. I guess on July 1st the governor is cutting dental benefits to adults holding Dentical. (state offered dental services to low income families) So each and every dentist in this state is booked until the first. Bad news, even after my long visit and $600 later, I still have a toothache. :down: So I guess I will have to just deal with it until Wednesday. :bat:

[Srbo]

Howdy!

A JD on the rocks, please ( that`s Jack Daniels, not John Dalglish, ok ? :biggrin2:) and a cigar, if that`s ok with you guys.

Hope everybody is going to have a great week. :)

[aneaglesangel]

Hope you feel better soon poisonbat! Not sure what I want, I got the jitters, LOL!

[Lily Sawyer]

Greetings from the West.

June's close draws nigh, the yard is crammed with thick clover and bees, and the thermometer hints at the heat about to be unleashed on southern California. We're in a glorious ten-day window of time where you finally understand why the Beach Boys wrote about "Surfing USA" - the closer you get to the beach, the more you just want to rip your clothes off. It's perfect summer weather, all the way through the Fourth and a little beyond.

Anyone up for Malibu?

[poisonbat]

Wow what happened?? Was everyone unable to access the board, or was it just some of us? :umm:

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all. Did we all pass through the "thinny" OK. SKMB went Todash. Hope everyone is OK.

Wow what happened?? Was everyone unable to access the board, or was it just some of us? :umm:

I think we all were.:laugh:
BUT WE ARE BACK!!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Hello guys! It was strange yesterday when I couldn't access the board. I guess we all went 'what the h...?'

Anyway, glad to be back, and want to thank you anyone for the support through these past days. I'm hanging there. The good news is I got Internet at home now, so I'll try to be more often while I search for a new job.

I'm stopping for some minutes since tonight my ex-coworkers are throwing a dinner at me, and I'm dealing with baking profiterols for dessert.

MsMod, don't worry about my problems with the site. In the meantime until Jordan gets back I WON'T BE POLITE, and won't click on THANKS. :wink2:

Be back in short. Oh the oven... :oops:

[Lily Sawyer]

Instead of taking the neighbor's dog on a walk these past few weeks, I've been taken on a drag by him. It's got to be a side-buster to watch me tripping over the sidewalk with him yanking me along. :laugh:

[aneaglesangel]

Funny you mention the board going todash, LOL! The way I imagine Todash darkness is the way I imagined the red papers from the hypnotism when I gathered them up and tossed them into the bottomless pit, red but fluttering darkness. Almost like doorways, almost like pieces of paper, almost like openings to places better left unseen. Some of them trying to flutter away on a wind not felt. Weird but true! I'm wondering if tomorrow we'll get to touch upon April or if this is going to be a very long process, but I'm feeling pretty confident now that it isn't going to be so bad, so I'm not feeling jittery anymore.

I'm glad the board is up and ri has internet access at home! I'd say that's a good excuse for a drink! Pass the malibu this way, please! Been a long time since I've had one and I'd say it's time! I've been known to whip up some mean blender drinks if anyone is game! :cool2:

[Kim L.]

Hello, Everyone!

Thought my work had blocked this site (but no others)--a relief to be back on. My daughter has been with us for a week and returns tomorrow, so she's meeting me for lunch today. Will bring in any leftover pizza.
Temps have been in the 100s lately--typical N. Cali Central Valley weather. A pitcher of iced tea with lemon, please!

Hope all tetmates are well; prayers and good thought for those who aren't.

Lots of rain my way again today. Guess we are setting records. Does make the plants and grass grow.

[poisonbat]

Well, I found out why I am still having pain with my tooth. I went to a different dentist yesterday and found out that the first dentist botched my root canal. He went up way way too far and embedded the packing material into my upper jaw bone. This packing in my bone has caused a major infection and has to be surgically removed. I have to see a specialist today and have my gum cut open up by my jaw and have the packing removed. :down: I must say I am scared to death. :eek2::bat:

[Charms7]

I'm holding you in prayer, Poisonbat.

I have to see a specialist today and have my gum cut open up by my jaw and have the packing removed. :down: I must say I am scared to death. :eek2::bat:

I had a dentist push the gutta percha and cement up into my jaw when I had part two of a root canal done. Two years later, the infection almost killed me. I had to have emergency oral surgery and they did a MAJOR slice and dice inside my mouth... and it hurt LESS afterward than it did before. I was so happy to have it done.

Don't worry, sweetheart, it's a good surgery and it is better to get rid of the offending tooth than to keep it and potentially lose your life.

The worst thing about it all is that the gutta percha is a natural kind of latex, and I developed a latex allergy. No more rubber gloves (I buy special ones for making soap now) and I have to buy the really expensive condoms instead of the cheap latex ones.

All things considered, I am happy that I went to a different dentist who freaked out and got me into surgery 16 hours later in another city. I am grateful to the surgeon as well because I had never been put under before and he held my hand while he pumped the drugs into the IV.

[Charms7]

Look what I found. Guaranteed to cool things off a bit.

Thank you for your thanks, fellows. :love: Sorry, still unable to post my thanks in your posts (it's not that I'm not polite nor I want to give Marsha more work). I'm sure Jordan put a spell on the board while he's away... mwahahahaha... yeah, he must be laughing. :devil::ghostface::bat:

Poisonbat, sorry to hear about your dentist/tooth adventure. Feel well soon, girl! :love:

I'll be back tomorrow.

Oh, Poisonbat, so sorry to hear about the infection, but what a relief that the 2nd dentist caught it. Holding you in my prayers.

*wanders in for a very late night cup of tea and hunts around for some leftover pizza*

Have a good night/day/whatever folks. I am bagged, but I did find out tonight that the a-hole I have to work with has been put on the 'days are numbered' list. As soon as they can find a replacement for that person, they are toast. Nice to know. That brings the 'want to pound sense into his thick head' feeling back down to something more manageable.

:biggrin2:

[poisonbat]

God bless Dr. Debra Meadows!!! She was able to redo my root canal yesterday, and I have NO pain this morning :biggrin2: She was able to get to the packing out through my tooth with a file so no gum cutting here either. She was the kindest most caring dentist I have ever known. Wow what a relief. I am so very excited that my son is graduating today :love: I am a proud mama. I just hope that everything goes well. I need to press his robe today, and I will post some pics in a new album sometime next week. Both of my boys graduating within a month of each other, who could ask for more??? I will take a small glass of champagne will anyone toast with me?? :bat:

Well it looks like I'll be heading back to England in a couple of weeks due to an unfavorable situation where I currently reside... and for all it would be nice to see my family I am not looking forward to seeing them. What I am looking forward to is seeing my dogs again. And on par with that, I also ordered a box of 20 hardback SK books and I'm actually excited to get back to them... am I crazy?

Yeah, the a-hole's days are definitely numbered. I have that from the manager myself. It's a relief. I told her that he makes my stomach bleed and that I am tempted to make a doll and put his face on it, and that I have some very long pins. She was :rofl:

Oh so much fun and work over the weekend. I took the boys plus 6 of their friends laser tagging for a graduation party. There were 10 in total and we dominated the games. :laugh: They all had fun. I spent much of the 4th recovering from the late night (early morning?) fun the night before. I guess I am just too old to get home at 1 am and be anything less than beat the next day. :laugh: I have lots to do today, but am glad to kinda feel like I am back on track after such a wonderful yet hectic week. :bat:

Hi fellows. I'm watching the Michael Jackson memorial. This is a sad day. I was a die-hard fan back when I was a teenager. His life leaves me with mixed feelings. His musical legacy is amazing, and I'm sure we all will remember him. Then those dark days filled with sad allegations... I don't know. It breaks my heart, he seemed a tortured soul. My thoughts are with his children, family and fans. I really hope he finally has found some peace.

Good morning, folks! I think I'll just start my day with a four-shot latte with lots of vanilla syrup. (Real whole milk and coffee that isn't decaf... I want jet fuel, not a gutless wonder!)

I've had a couple of days off and tonight I go back to work. Oh joy. I used to love my job, but now it grinds my soul into dust. The bean counters took care of that when they stripped the store raw with its staffing and hours, then gave us a lot of hoops we have to jump through. At one point, I was supposed to be training to manage a store, but now I want nothing to do with that end of it. I want to do my work and then walk out the door. I refuse to answer the phone on my days off now. I want to be invisible.

I've got something else brewing but it will be a while before it pays anything. I can't say much more except that I will be working as an editor AND a forum moderator and I am looking forward to it and hoping like crazy it pays well soon, so I can cut back my shifts at the other job to just enough to keep a foot in the door and to keep that handy-dandy staff discount on so many lovely things.

I'll be joining poisonbat in the corner as well. Last night I went to work and the manager had words with me, because apparently, I guessed wrong again. I have had the rules change on what is 'priority' so many times it's making my head spin. Nothing is what it seems. One week, I am told 'A' is priority, the next week it's 'B' or 'C', the week after that it suddenly becomes 'Z', and I was supposed to know that 'Q' is the most important thing of all. I can't bloody win! I don't know what to do with myself. I have to hang in there until I can get an alternate source of income going to replace some of those shifts.

So...

Just a few words to explain why our Gallina Volic has not been posting or answering some of your visitor messages.

She is well and all is OK. This is a very busy time for her at her job. She multi tasks beyond the norm. Now, she has taken on an additional task. She's been working almost 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Regular position, plus this additional one.

Galli sends her love and says soon things will be normal again and she can return to the SKMB- which she is missing very much.

She also wishes everyone a good weekend.:love:

[Christi]

I just wanted to thank everyone for the great Birthday wishes that everyone sent to me in my visitor messages. It really means alot from all the wonderful people here.

[poisonbat]

I will talk about the bright spot in my weekend. We went to the beach yesterday and had such a great time. Sunburns are fairly mild, except my husband he looks like a lobster, but hey he refused sunblock. My sis, niece, two sons, step daughter, husband and I all went. We had such fun jumping the waves. It was a nice stress reliever. I do love the beach..:laugh::bat:

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Hi guys. I'm tired of house chores. So I guess I'll be at the bean bag central with an herbal tea.

To make my life even nicer these days, we have new people in the apartment next door who seem to think our walls are thicker, so last night they left -while absent- a radio on all night long with festive music (you try to sleep to the rhythm of reggaeton for instance). :eyebrow: Or they enjoy their love for each other (which is good) but VERY VERY LOUDLY... (and I mean at the point that YOU feel ashamed). :glare: Hello??? Moreover they don't lock the front door, and one of the daughters visiting broke our bell on purpose and voiced to the world why we lock the door if we were so poor bast*** and so. Classy neighbors... Just imagine, trying to live in this hole.

Anyway... grabbing my tea and my Desperation :eyebrow: (the book) and leaving to the peaceful corner. :down:

Have a nice day, fellows! :love:

[Cowboy]

Howdy folks, hope all is doing well. Kim I will use the spitoon, but for sunflower seed hulls.
Just riding through folks, so much to do, so little time.
Have a great rest of the week!

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Brought in some cinnamon rolls: please enjoy. Howdy, Cowboy--come back when you can stay longer. Large hot coffee please and a cinnamon roll and I'm off to work. Have a great day, tetmates!

[poisonbat]

Morning all. I have an appt at the college today and am excited that everything is going well in that area. My son had jury duty today for the first time ever this morning. He can't take his gadgets in with him, so I gave him a BOOK to read. :laugh: He just looked at me funny and said that it was unfair that he could not take in his phone to surf the internet. I sent him with Animal Farm should keep him busy. I on the other hand hit the jury duty lottery and did not have to go. Bad thing is, I can be recalled. :glare: Not that I would mind sitting on a jury, it is the waiting that I hate. Anyway, large green tea with lots of honey for me this morning, I am gonna have a busy day. :bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning everyone, as I duck in for shelter from a morning rainstorm.

HI Cowboy- did you see the new hitching post out front?

Large herbal tea and off to bean bag central. All welcome.....

Placing sign in the Cantina window for Thursday morning...........


Buckwheat and Pyro are in the House!!!!!!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good whatever everyone !!!

I had a great day yesterday visiting my son and his family, all very well, and Jennifer (10 1/2 moths a coming on apace, not quite walking, but standing and leaning against the sofa dancing, so funny! David and Kareen send their love to the MB and will always remember the support from all of you through their pregnancy and Kareen's previous miscarriage. Also heard that Emma Robson, for those who remember her, is in remission (touch wood) and will be starting school this year, once again, thankee for all the good wishes, prayers etc.

And I got a wonderful surprise - in the few weeks that my phone's been down, David has started a sci-fi novel and it's going very well, he's found a terrfic voice IMO and he's got a great 'what if?'. I've been on at him for years to write and it made my day (hell, my year) to read the first few chapters (written long hand since coffee killed their laptop).

And about the phone - Toots (cat) chewed through the connecting cable and we've had three different replacement phones but none of them have worked. We finally got a visit from Cable Guy yesterday and it transpired that some external link had been taken out by lightning. As we get internet and cable TV down the same cable it had never occurred to us that it couyld be anything other than some internal problem, so FINALLY we have land line facilities again after weeks of hair tearing!

Phew! - that was a long one, I hope all is well with you and yours and everyone is having a great week.

And have a great vacation, Ms Mod, get more retirement practise in and put your feet up LOL

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

Large Irish coffee please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Moderator]

Not sure how relaxing it will be but I've been trying since the beginning of June to build myself a screen house and am hoping the weather will cooperate so I can get it finished. Once it's done, I will be able to relax bug-free. :grinning: All the rain has produced a bumper crop of mosquitoes. :sad:

[Bev Vincent]

We took the lazy route -- I bought a screened in enclosure that attaches to our patio table. The bottom gets filled with water to give it weight and allows you to shape it (though never as perfectly as in this picture!) and the top is supported by the umbrella.

http://www.nicamaka.net/images/UmbrellaNet-screen2.jpg

We haven't had much rain, so not many mosquitos, but the other flies are a pest. I'm not sure exactly what they are -- up north I would have called the house flies, except they're mostly outdoors down here.

[Charms7]

I'm so glad to hear all are doing so well in your corner of the world, John. So very grateful Emma Robson is better!

Your screen house will be the envy of the neighborhood, Ms. Mod! I do hope your vacation is everything you want it to be. Here in Houston, the mosquitos can get pretty bad, so I use Skin-So-Soft. I hope that's okay to mention.

Stay safe from all storms, Spidey!

Will walk lightly around Buckwheat and Pyro. I forgot their snacks at home.

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

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all.
Good news John.
Beautiful start to your screen house MsMod. Hope you'll be sitting inside it very soon. Sundance- everyone!!!!

Sun has appeared in my land at last.

Behave Buckwheat and Pyro:wink2:

[poisonbat]

We don't have many mosquitoes, but the flies are terrible. I would not mind screening in my whole house with a net. :glare: I simply HATE flies. I guess I will take a large green tea this morning and kick it in bean bag central for awhile. :bat:

Hello, Everyone!
what wonderful news about Emma R., John--and great to hear about David's novel.
I brought in a cookie for Mr. Jingles, who I hope is safely tucked away from Buckwheat and Pyro.

I seem to be having a hard time with things lately. I am somehow making the love of my life miserable when all I have done is try to make him happy. My weight loss and plans to go back to school to finish my degree has made him insecure with himself. He looks at me and says You are beautiful and smart, once you have your degree and start working you wont need me anymore. :down: How it is that I can work so hard for something and think it is a good thing and wind up making the one person that I love like no other miserable is beyond me. :down:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Call it 'mid life crisis', call it the 'male menopause', PB.

If it's any consolation I was a real PITA for a couple of years in my mid 40's (some would say still am!).

I don't know what age your husband is but women get HRT treatment but men don't get testesterone patches (and a good thing too, testesterone being the most dangerous drug on the planet)

All things must pass!

I think he just needs time to adjust.
I've been through the same, but it gets better. It's hard to know, you feel like you are asking too much, while you've done nothing wrong. If he loves you, he'll accept you for whoever you are, given an amount of time of course..

Some do not respond well to change, but they get there eventually. So don't feel bad and take it one step at a time. :grinning:

I just want to wish you all a very nice week ahead as I may not be on for a while. I am still trying to get my internet access up and running at home...it has been killing me not accessing my favourite board and special peeps here over the last few days.

Stay well and safe! :love:

Hope your weekend was wonderful! Family reunion was a good time and of course a ncie break from work, but I missed you guys (no internet at the state park in Nebraska).

Hey everyone, today will be my last day on the board for a while, we are leaving to go camping up in the mountains early tomorrow morning and wont be back until Saturday night. So all is well and I will miss you guys. We are roughing it. Tents only, cooking over a campfire, no cell service, no internet, have to pack in all the needed stuff. It is 1/4 mile hike from where we park to where we set up camp. I will be glad to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a few days. It will be good for my tech bound boys to find other things to do and see the sunlight for a while. They rarely do. :laugh: :bat:

[Cowboy]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy birthday, Cowboy--I thought of you on vacation when we were riding horses. Hope all are well and have a fantastic week.
Large hot coffee and a plate of cinnamon toast for me, please. Kim Possible's heading off to work and I'm going to bean bag central to read. Company always welcome.

Was it horse related or just because..?..:biggrin2:

[Kim L.]

Was it horse related or just because..?..:biggrin2:


LOL! Horse-related. We were on a trail ride, and one of the wranglers (high school kid) drove in the ranch broncs for the rodeo that evening. The sight of those horses galloping over the prairie, manes and tails streaming in the wind, reminded me that you get to be around horses every day. And so I was jealous. :biggrin2:

Hi everyone. Just thought I would stop by to say hello - I know it's been quite some time since I posted in here. Make no mistake, that doesn't mean I've forgotten this place but time is something I have very little of these days :-( but on the other hand, that's a good thing - it just means I'm busy doing other great things hehe.

A brief update from Denmark. Yes, for those who do not know this yet, I've moved back home :-) and may I say, the best thing I've done in years!!

After 3 months of living with my best friend I finally got my own place!! That's nice. I haven't lived by myself for close to 4 years, so it's really good but also a little strange when you're used to having people around all the time. The place I've moved into is just a heartbeat away from my mum and brother and of course... my little nephew - who, by the way will be 2 on Aug. 22nd! Wow, time flies!! And.... they are expecting number two :-) another baby boy (to be named Milo).

I do miss all of you and will try to log on more often at night before bedtime ;-)

Oh... and since I'm here - can I have a cold beer please and a piece of cheese cake lol Odd combination but it's what I'm in the mood for hehe.

Hope all is well with you guys.

Hi Cantina Ka-tet,
I don't know where the casting thread went for Dark Tower. Looking at the art work in Wolves of the Calla, Roland performing the "rice dance" looks exactly like Thomas Gibson (Criminal Minds). Also, Pere Callahan has always been Merlin Olsen (Father Murphy & Aarons Way) in my mind. The art work shows a thin white haired man, but it didn't work for me.

GREAT to see you, Marianne! Cold beer and cheesecake coming right up.
Hard to believe Ian is going to be 2 already and congratulations on your nephew-on-the-way.

[Luli]

Gooooood Morning!!!

I'll have some ice tea and head to the porch, the sun is shining - finally! :wink2:

[Cowboy]

Good morning Folks! Hope all is well in your world. Iced Tea is sounding very good to me this morning.
My horses and I survived the flooding that we had yesterday. There sure is alot of messed up cars though, so don't be purchasing any cars from this area with "slight" water damage.
Sounds like a beautiful sight Kim, horses do something good to the soul.
Have a great day!

[Spideyman]

Good Wednesday to all. Pizza delivery at noon!

Herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central- stopping first to place the wet umbrella in the stand. All are welcome to join........

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, everyone!
Beautiful weather in N. Cali. Got the police report of my traffic accident (no inuries)--the person who rearended me, causing a chain reaction of rearendings, was at fault, no surprise. She also doesn't have insurance. Oh joy.
And my doctor wants me to send him little sample of something it should be illegal to send through the mail. I think he has an unhealthy obsession with poo.:oo:

[Spideyman]

Placing sign in the Cantina window for Thursday morning.......

Good morning friends. Nothing like starting the morning out with a good conversation about poo, Thanks Kim. :biggrin2:

Hey Y'all!

Kim---Thanks for the laugh.....and sorry about your fender bender....glad to hear no injuries.

Think I'll sit in the sun with a huge glass of sweet iced tea---all are welcome to join me. :)

[Charms7]

Good Morning Tet-Mates! Good Morning Buckwheat and Pyro! I think Mr. Jingles lost track of time and left the Cantina a little late. He had this terribly frazzled look on his face when I saw him last.

[Kim L.]

Hi everyone. I'm so tired, my own fault for staying up late. I hate August. I have to get recredentialed. I have to retake compliance training. I had to get my annual TB test--thank God that's over. My husband's foot has been hurting him for weeks and weeks. I have a meeting tomorrow. I wanna go home! I'm tired of being filling out disability paperwork and trying persuading people not to abuse their medications. Everybody wanst a piece of me.

:down:

Thanks for letting me rant.

Good Morning, Everyone!
Hope all tetmates had a good weekend. 100-degree heat again, but the days are a wee bit shorter and we cool down nicely at night out here, thanks to the Delta breeze. Large hot coffee, please, and I'll be in bean bag central, reading. Company always welcome.

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all.
What a weekend, but I'm back amongst the "members" of the SKMB. Woo Hoo!!!

Need something stronger than herbal tea this morning. Maybe a coffee. Off to bean bag central, putting feet up and enjoying just being here. All welcome to join.......

[poisonbat]

Well I survived my camping trip, it was really fun. It surly makes you grateful for the comforts of home. I am covered in bruises from everything from sleeping to cooking, even sitting on the fallen log next to the campfire. But we had a wonderful time. It was nice, no cell phones, computers, or any other distractions. It was good to see my kids actually talking and playing board games together. We went hiking, gathered feathers of all kinds, chased brook trout, took pics of all kinds of neat critters. But I am glad I am home. :laugh::bat:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone!!!

Had a very nasty experience on Friday night, I nearly choked on a piece of chicken. It wasn't blocking my airway, so I could breathe but it was stiuck in my throat for about two hours and I was covered in what seemed like gallons of saliva before I finally managed to force my hand down my throat far enough to dislodge it. My daughter and her fiance were out at the time (wouldn't you know it?) so I had visions of writing out a sign (couldn't speak) for the next door neighbour to call the emergency services - deeply unpleasant!

It did strike me as highly ironic, that having survived this long, that I might be taken down by a bit of micro-waved chicken from a TV dinner.

However, all well now, and I hope everyone had a great weekend and a good week in prospect.

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

Large Irish coffee please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Sundrop]

Hey Y'all! Hope you have a fabulous Monday...:)

I'm so glad everyone is here with us. We must take baby steps from here on, so it seems.

(((John D))) (((Maryann))) (((PB))) (((Kim L))) (((All Tet-Mates)))

[Cowboy]

Have a great week people! :cool2:

[mstay]

Wow John!:eek2: I'm glad you are still among us. That line about your "micro-waved chicken TV dinner" sounds like it might have happened in a Stephen King novel.:biggrin2:

Spidey I'm glad you made it back too.

Poisonbat - I hope the bruises heal quickly and the memories last long. My Mom had a condition with her spleen that made her bruise REALLY easily. She had to have it removed. I hope you don't have something like that.

I'll join you in beanbag central Kim. Everybody have a great week!

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

John, that experience of yours left me speechless. Wow! It's really good you're with us, but I imagine how HORRIBLE must have been. I love fish, but sometimes I'm reluctant to eat it because of the bones. Of course we all remove the bones before cooking the fish, but if a tiny one managed to remain, God knows I'm the one who will get it on the dish. :eyebrow: Choking seems to be one of my greatest fears, so I can only feel your anguish and be thankful that the b*stard chicken piece couldn't take you. Yep, it seems something coming from Uncle Steve's mind, indeed... :eek2:

Nice to hear about your camping weekend, Poisonbat. I'm glad you had such a nice time, and that the kids could experience old times fun when there were no internet, no video games, no text messages, etc etc. I did enjoy my childhood as a Tomboy girl. Bruises, cuts, even burning hair (thanks bro :glare:), but God, we had some good times with all the friends on the neighborhood. I still love climbing trees even though haven't done that in a long time.

Nice to have also our dear Maryann from Spideyland on da house. :love:

So good week start for everybody. I'll join in the cantina later. It's too shiny and full of flowers outside. Spring is in the air... See you!

PS: Still cannot THANK, or I'd thank many messages from you all. But I know Jordan is on it.:grinning:

[Marianne]

Just stopping by for a quick cuppa tea. However, I should be in bed (10.30 pm now) 'cause I have to get up early tomorrow and it's gonna be a looong day. Why? Well.... I have a concert to go to. Wanna know??

MADONNA!!!

Wooooooo hoooooo I've always always wanted to see her but she's only been in Denmark once before so tomorrow - she better not cancel!! :eek2::biggrin2:

[StoryTellerRose]

Hey All! So sorry I haven't been on here in forever! I'm still alive, LOL! Be talkin to ya'll soon, got lots to talk about, but just blasting out the door this second with the husband!


Love to all! =)

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Hi Marianne--so good to see you! Hope the concert was fantastic. And howdy, StoryTellerRose, welcome back!
Happy Tuesday to all tetmates and may the week be good to us all.
Large hot coffee and a plate of cinnamon toast, please.

Good Morning All Tet-Mates!

Keeping you all in prayers. Hope you have a wonderful time, Marianne!

StoryTeller! Is that really you???? Welcome back!!!!!

This is indeed a day for celebration!

Those along the eastern USA coastline and Gulfcoast, finalize your plans for a contact buddy so we do not worry if you go Todash.

Hi All,
Where the heck is Patricia? I miss her. She probably left a message and I missed it.

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Fellows, just a few words to say tomorrow I'll have surgery served at noon. It shouldn't be difficult, but full anaesthesia gives me the creeps. Will appreciate any good thoughts tomorrow coming my way, especially coming out well from anaesthesia and that the biopsy result turn out good, as it seems to be. If everything goes well, I should be home tomorrow night. So hope to post on Wednesday: I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!! :laugh:

My best to you all for tomorrow! :love: If I don't come back, it was a pleasure knowing ya'll, guys (that's fear speaking). :wink2:

[StoryTellerRose]

Hey all!

Seems like I've missed a lot while I was away! Goodness, I guess that's what I get for going out and getting more of a life than I previously had, eh? :biggrin2:
So I guess I'll just keep eyes and ears open for now and hang out on the beanbags for a while.......had a fabulous day, but even the best of days can be ended with a hot cup of tea and a good book, yes? :laugh:

[Cowboy]

Good morning folks, hope you all have a fantabulous day. Hope all goes well for you Ri.

Football practice with the kids last night (I'm coaching), I ran a throw and catch station and threw about 250 passes down field. Can someone hand me an iced tea and an Ice Pack while I go look for an open bean bag? :cool2:

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all. You are in our prayers and thoughts, Ri.

Large herbal iced tea in hand heading to bean bag central. Have an ice pack for you Cowboy. Put your feet up and rest a spell.

Pizza delivery at noon:biggrin2:

Hi StoryTellerRose, Buckwheat has found a friend, Pyro. Just thought you should know.

Hello all Tet-Mates and Happy Wednesday!

[Daisygirl]

Hi People!
Hope everyone is having a good day! :)

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, to every one of you guys, for your sweet messages, prayers, good thoughts and vibes. I'm sorry I cannot thank every post, but it seems my account has any problem, so I'm being miserably unpolite/impolite these days. :wink2:

To make the story short, for those who haven't been PMed, I have the most embarrasing day ever. I was kicked out of the clinic. Not in that terms per se, but the health insurance refused to pay for my surgery there.

So I was there, with my surgery gown on, IV fluids on board, all set up and ready to ge carried away to the big knife, and then came the administrative lady to give me the bad news. And I was about to be cut open!!! Gaby went to the insurance office to "nicely discuss" with them. So I asked to get everything removed and got home. Nurses were so kind and everybody was speechless. I was sooooo embarrassed...

Doctor called me a while ago to tell me to calm down, that he will operate me next Tuesday at the local hospital. I feel so tired and weird... so I'm calling the day off. :sad:

Thank you guys once again for all the support, good thoughts, prayers and nice words!!! That's the only thing that is cheering me up tonight.

:love::love::love:

Had a fantabulous day today, went to Lake Tahoe with my husband and watched the sunset! It was gorgeous!
Oh, and for the reptile day there's a new addition; his name is Elyas, and he's a Bearded Dragon.....he's real cute and a big eater! Hmm.....I need to get some pics of him up....

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good whatever everyone !!!

Is it just my imagination or do there seem to be a lot of threads started recently about eternally contentious and divisive subjects, has anyone else noticed it?

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

Large Irish coffee please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Mary Strickland]

JD, I thought I was the only one who noticed the recent crop of threads. The global picture has never been quite like this before--everyone literally want to go nuclear. But the catalyst IMO is Mr. Obama. He is making hash of the world monetary system in his maniac effort to make everything level (which is Marxist). I think "we Texans" might withdraw from the union after all.

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Folken!
Happy Friday to all! Hang in there, Ri; we're with you, girl.

Large hot coffee and a few gingersnaps, please.

Fresh made tea, Cowboy and the frig has a leftover box of Pizza with your name on it.

Looks like another rainy day and weekend for me. That's OK. Rain good/ thunder and winds no so much.

Have a safe and fun weekend everyone. Take good care.
Iced herbal tea in hand,and off to bean bag central. All welcome.......

Of course you can bring your parakeets in, StoryTeller. Just keep them safe from the other critters!

Yes, John D, some of the threads are real bummers. Can I use that word? Bummers?

Kim, let's form a healing circle for Ri!
