The Ka-Tet Cantina

Having to use the vBulletin default style has given me a renewed appreciation for all that Jordan and Brian have done to make the Message Board more user-friendly and visually pleasing. They're still working to resolve the issues that necessitated going to the default style and hopefully things will soon be back to "normal." :-)

[Patricia A]

I've been watching and wondering over the MB changes for a few days now.
This is fun, I feel like we are on a trek through the unexplored reaches of cyberspace, "Oh Pioneers" 'n stuff.
Hats off, and I say thankee to all you who engineer and pilot this ship, and to him which built the rocket that makes it go.
Hey I'm on cold meds so it's aalll good. :smile2:

Oh good - I thought it was just me................
This is really strange.

[Spideyman]

Guess it is a lesson learned- you do not know, or appreciate what you have until it is taken away. Kudos to MsMod, Jordan and Brian for all they do to make this "home" work. May all repairs and gremlins be found quickly.

Isn't the new vBulletin 4 software wonderful? We put it up on our own site a wee bit ahead of this site and I've been learning to work the admin functions in this new variety. It's a bit of a learning curve where the social groups are involved. I'm not quite sure yet how to tell which social groups of mine have new posts...

Anyways...

I got UtD with a gift card that I got for Christmas from one of my coworkers for offering to work that day. She was happy that she could have the day with her family so she spoiled me with chocolate and a nice gift card. A few other staffers got involved as well. I'm looking forward to reading UtD when I have a bit more time and I think my hand can deal with holding it. It's massive...

I'll have a couple of cold Cokes to go please...

[smjohn]

I KNEW something looked different:) lol

Yes, their work is outstanding. I am seeing this version for the first time.......what a vast difference between the two versions!

Hi,

AWMMS

I've just read Ms Mod's new post about the changes.

Bummer IMO

Long days and pleasant nights

[Srbo]

Well, this design is terrible, IMO.
No thanks buttons, no welcome mats, statistics are lost from the profiles...the social gropus are hard to follow etc, etc...

Just really bad, to be blunt.

[rose key]

I just read the post in the "news" section of the board, too, John. Total Bummer, I agree. I just realized, too that everyone has the same black font.
Ickie.
Well, I guess I have to be thankful for what I have. My computer system at work was changed on Thursday, and I can no longer see the photos in KITTENS thread!:glare: Most of the websites I visited while on a break are banned. THANK GOD i still have this site!!
Oh, yeah, and we can still do this!:biggrin2:

[mstay]

I think we might still be in the thinny. :eek2:

I'm with everyone else - this place just doesn't feel the same. But I guess we'll just get used to whatever it ends up like. I really appreciate Jordan and Brian even more now.

Have a great week everyone!:biggrin2:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. Is everyone adjusting to the new feel and look? It's only Tuesday, but there will be a Pizza delivery today at noon. I think we all need some comfort food. Cyber free calories, so dig in, unlimited supply.
Hot herbal tea this morning, tad chilly my way. For those enjoying a "winter wonderland" be careful in the snowstorms. Off to bean bag central. I see many have brought their books and are enjoying the warm fire and comfy bean bags. All are welcome to join..............

Spidey, Warm fire and bean bags aah... sounds like, just the thing to start the day off right.

[Marianne]

I actually think this new layout looks okay. How it works, I don't know yet but I'm sure we'll get use to it eventually.

Now Spidey mentioned something about pizza delivery.... there better be a pepperoni pizza just for me - I'm hungry hehe

Have a good day everyone and if I don't see you the next two days
HAPPY NEW YEAR!


:dizzy::dizzy:

[poisonbat]

I was hoping that the board would be back to normal, but this is ok, still keeps us in touch. Kinda like going from a Blackberry to a walkie talkie lol. Anyway, yesterday was terrible. I was sitting here at my computer when I kept hearing water dripping. I looked everywhere for the source, I finally found it... it was my bed. One of the cylinders on my husbands side broke and 55 gallons of water had flowed everywhere. The liner did not hold the water, it failed. Everything was soaked. I had to take the entire bed apart and take it outside to dry. (Thank God for the sun! and my trusty shop vac) I had to search to find a replacement cylinder for it but did eventually. It took me almost 8 hours to clean up that mess. Hopefully today I will be able to just relax a bit, I only got 50 pages read yesterday so I need to make up for it today.

The new software is something that takes a while to get used to, BUT it is the PEOPLE who make this place what it is, not a few buttons. I think if we all remember that, we will be just fine. I'm just glad to be able to come in here and chat with you all again.

[Spideyman]

The Ka Tet is strong and we'll learn the new ways with each others help. It has been done before, and we'll do it again. Paddles in the VBulletin waters and navigating we shall go. Do miss the Thank You and Welcome buttons.

[bookworm101]

I give up. I'm lost and have a headache

[Sundrop]

Aaack!! Please tell me that I'm hallucinating.......that has to be it.....
I'll just close my eyes, and when I open them, everything will be back to normal.......
OH NO!! It didn't work......

John, do you have my Gin??.....I think I'm gonna need it :)

Hello all, AWSS

[rose key]

I miss everyone's beautiful profile pages:down: I think we're not in the keystone world anymore. The colors are fading...is it getting dark in here? Brrrrr..it's getting cold, too.

[rose key]

Is it just me, or do people's AVs look different? My lips are HUGE! Srbo's AV looks squished. Other people's AV look bigger, or blurry.
I'll take a tequila on the rocks with a wedge of lime, please!

[Cowboy]

Good morning friends! Has anyone ever read "Who Moved My Cheese"? Don't worry folks, we will all get used to it, change is good.

[poisonbat]

I am going to have a good day! I keep telling myself that.maybe it will happen. I am feeling down, I hate this.

[rjt65]

chill peeps---- I am sure Jordan brian --MMOD and all got a nasty surprise-- just posted this in the new group for new forum stuff--

found a new group messages --- when i tried the normal new forum messages--- i looked on top toolbar and there was a new group messages that displayed the groups with last message on em--- hey Shiat happens---

in technology you try to prevent things of this nature---- but understand that if skmb did not upgrade they would be very very exposed by not being on the supported v bulletin sware--- so it had to be done---

we can build again give em some time i am sure we will get back most if not all of the customizations in the future!!! Point is we can build again (in the future I would suspect) but it is not that different IMO beside slosing the profile cusimizations and thank welcome buttons etc.... that is the risk you take when u customize off the shelf sware the owner (v bullitin) does not have to concern themselves (they should) with ensuring custimizat

lets not forget SK giving us this gr8 playground to lpay in and make friends ---so if we have some bumps in the road it is part of the journey!!!
ion

So as we go into the new year--- lets give thanks for still having this best website and SK putting in the $$ and resources to support it for us!!!! So thanks to all the Jordans, Brians and Marshas for another gr8 year on the board----

[Spideyman]

It is still morning here, so I'll say good morning to all. Another good book is "Tao of Pooh". For now we all just need to be Pooh-like, as Pooh just is........
Each day gets a little easier. Let's look at it as a new journey- the road needs some work, so let the work crew do their magic.

Large Ice herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central. All are welcome to join.....

Deli sandwiches for all. Enjoy.

[Kim L.]

Hello, everybody! Trying to get used to the changes (how to use colors, for example), but it's all good. And today is actually sunny, no fog or rain. Large hot coffee, please.

[Sundrop]

Hey Y'all! Tomorrow is officially my last day on the job as bookkeeper for the business that I co-own. WOO HOO!!!

I'm returning to my #1 love, hairstyling on Jan 4th! :)

Let's Celebrate!!

[JohnDalglish]

Hii,

Have a great Hogmanay and a very good New Year to everyone.

Hogmanay

And thankee to all those working behind the scenes - Ms Mod, Jordan, Brian et al.

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

Large Glenfiddich with lots of ice and Highland Spring water please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Mary Strickland]

The social forums are not shown or I have overlooked them. This is my 4th visit to the new MB--and it always said you MAY NOT POST and there was no box at the bottom to use. Yet I could tell people were posting and I could read what was posted.

There is no indication of how many people are viewing a particular subject, although I don't count that a high priority. I guess it's mostly the Welcome and Thanks buttons.

Also, I don't know how to view my personal page or whatever it's called. I was required to log in, where I never logged in on the old version.

These aren't really complaints. I just want to learn the new system.

[Jojo87]

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year. Here in Finland New Year didn't start very well. ( About that shooting thing in Esbo)
But my New Year was just great.

Once again HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!

[bookworm101]

Good Morning all. Bumped my chin trying to find my way around. Irish coffee please. Going to go sit by the fire, and get my bearings.

[poisonbat]

I am glad that I go back to school on the 11th. I have just about finished UTD and am looking forward to getting back to my studies.I have to get my books and parking pass today, fun fun fun. I will take a large green tea with lots of honey this morning. Oh by the way happy new year, to me uh... SCDD (same crap different decade!)

[Samantha_]

Hello to all. Just taking a look at the new layout and wanted to say a Happy New Year to everyone all the year through.

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all and welcome back. Hope all had a great Holiday. The fireplace is lit, the coffee is perking and the tea brewing- other liquids are available upon request.

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all. Another chilly day in Spideyland, so the Cantina's fireplace is looking mighty good. Thankee for the hot apple cider, Charms. Will hit the spot today.
Brought in some fresh baked breads and homemade jams. Baking helps keep the homeplace warm.

Hot herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central... all welcome to join.

[poisonbat]

I am kinda disgusted today. I went to the school yesterday and hit another brick wall. Financial aid had approved certain classes for me to take but they canceled one of the sections. Now I have to go back and fight to have a class changed. I am mad as hell. It doesn't seem fair that they would cut my aid when they don't even offer the class I need. I replaced it with another class that is exactly the same amount of units and in the same exact category, but that is not good enough.

[Charms7]

Nom, nom, nom. The fresh baked breads and homemade jams are delicious! Nom, nom, nom. Thanks Spidey!

[Kim L.]

Good morning, everyone and happy Tuesday! A foggy, soggy day outside; the hot coffee and fresh-baked bread sounds delicious, thankee, Spidey. Will be reading in the corner, company always welcome.

[Cowboy]

I smelled bread and thought I would come in out of the cold.....thank you.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day, stay warm!

[Spideyman]

Good Wednesday to all. Sun bright and warm today. Fireplace still the best place to be. Mid week, so the weekend is in sight, finally.
Pizza delivery at noon- all varieties, even calorie free, so eat up. Saving one for Cowboy.

What happened to all the "how to" threads for the new MB? I stumbled around and found almost everything. When I log in, there is a "Remember Me" box, but it doesn't work. Does everyone log in each time, or am I missing something?

Hey Y'all! Just running through on my way to work.
The job is fabulous, and I'm working with wonderful people.....and most importantly, doing what I love.
We don't have internet at the salon, so my SKMB "visiting hours" will be mostly evenings......
Try not to miss me too much! LOL :laugh:

Top of the mornin to all of you, and Merry Christmas again to me and anyone who is of Orthodox Religion since today is our Christmas.

Hi Mary- I am needing to log on each time I enter the SKMB too. I do ck the remember me box, but still need to log on. Maybe a security feature. Am sure someone else will have a better answer. Check the Social Group for New MB help desk.

Thanks for the pizza Spidey! Good morning folks, hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Looks like snow here in the Ohio river Valley and that means trouble for me at work. Stay safe everyone!

Cowboy, We definitely have snow coming here to the Ohio river valley.....But, it's only doing to be a mere 4-6" and the weather people are talking like it's the "Storm Of The Century"! ( couldn't resist that one) Hope you don't' have too much trouble at work. All stay safe, warm and dry if you can. Spidey, The pizza sounds excellent!!! I'll take the no calorie please.....beats the yogurt I just ate....(trying to eat healthy isn't much fun....gonna clear some snow off the lawn and go out and graze for lunch LOL)

These are my last few days with any time on the MB. I start school on Monday and my days will again be filled with my studies. Good news, I found a new Used book store just a couple of blocks up from me. I got a first addition plume Gunslinger and a first addition Wolves of the Calla there for $12 bucks and Wolves is in hardback!! :love: :bat:

[Sigmund]

Hi Everyone! I just found this site 4 days ago and this is my first time in the Cantina. Read the last 15-20 posts and read how upset everyone seemed to be with the new format. Since I have only been here 3 days THIS format is the only one I know. Still trying to find my way around. It is truly wonderful to find a place that has intelligent, well read, witty people. I'll have a glass of nice brandy, please.

[Kim L.]

Sure Happy It's Thursday! Hope everyone is having a good day. Mine's just started.

Maybe I can make your day better...Did you know you can now read the board in Finnish? I was playing around reading stuff in different languages. It's fun!! I don't know how it works if your post is in Finnish, I don't think it translates back. This board is getting better, and better all the time. Thanks to our magic Jordan!:cool2:

I was curious about that, too. I haven't seen any posts other than in English.

Good morning friends! Hot Chocolate sounds good, do we have any??? Have a great weekend and stay warm!:cool2:

I wonder if I can smuggle that in to work tonight... Tonight is my Friday night, so I'm in a good mood. The corporate gods have decided to add a bit of staffing on Saturday nights. (The hell shift.) Hopefully I will be able to keep the help and not have them remove the hours again. :smile2: It's such a relief.

Have a lovely whatever, everyone!

I fractured my stinkin right wrist. Writing is impossible. I can type though but it takes me much longer. Not fun. I am fighting depression and anxiety right now about my son moving away. I am ever so glad he landed the career of a life-time, but I don't know just how I am going to deal with his departure. This is my first little birdy to leave the nest!:down::bat:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good whatever everyone !!!!

GREAT to see you back, Ms Mod, I hope you had a a great vacation!

All good here, spent yesterday playing with my grand daughter (Jennifer, 18 months - forgot how tiring (also how rewarding) a toddler can be).

(((((All affected in Haiti etc)))))

Large Irish coffee please.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Srbo]

Hello my friends, good to be back on the MB.

Bet that felt like a really short vacation, eh Ms Mod ? Over in the blink of an eye.
But so is life, so cheer up.:biggrin2:

Hope everybody will have a wonderful week:smile2:.

[Moderator]

It did go by quickly but I'm comforted with the thought that it's only 2-1/2 weeks before I'll be on vacation and back in the warm temperatures again. :smile2:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone! (Hey, it's morning here). Welcome back, Ms. Mod! PB, sorry to hear about your fractured wrist and the depression and anxiety. He'll be back to get his laundry done and for that home cooking before you know it:wink2:

Large hot coffee, please! It's raining to beat the band out there (whatever that means).

Hello all, Happy Tuesday!! Glad to see ya back Ms. Mod. I hope you had a great vacation.:cool2:

I'd like to add some Art Tea to the inventory. On my last search for the perfect dragon pearl jasmine tea I ran across this wonderful looking stuff. I haven't tried it yet. Anyone who cares to join me is welcomed... or welcome, which ever is correct.

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa219/plcarmstrong/arttea-2.gif

Here's what it is, I had no idea such a thing existed but I'm glad it does. One must resist the urge to drop a goldfish in there because it would be mean to the fish and prolly ruin the tea.

Fresh and tender tea leaves are hand sewn into a bundle with of flowers wrapped inside that “bloom” as they steep. This beautiful tea is a masterpiece to our sight and exquisite to our taste. It takes artful presentation to a new level. What a stunning idea for decorating your table, delighting your guests, and serving a quality cup of tea. A glass teapot is the ideal tea-ware to show off this tea. Allow this blooming art tea to blossom in your teapot when brewed without the infuser or filter.

[Kim L.]

Good morning, everyone!

We're having our 4th rainstorm in as many days here; fortunately, the power's still on. Brought in some yummy-looking pastries.

Thought I'd throw open the door and welcome all the newbies to come visit the Ka-Tet Cantina. A Cyber cafe- a place to gather, share a part of our lives, and spread happy thoughts.

Since it is Wednesday- it is Pizza Day. Every variety you can imagine and all cyber calorie free. So dig in.

I'll take my slice and a large glass of herbal tea and head off to bean bag central ( a little corner in the Cantina filled with bean bags and welcoming Tet-Mates)

So glad January's over. We've had a lot of rain, and now plenty of sunshine for a few days. It's so gorgeous--now I remember why I live in California. :cool2:

Large hot black coffee, please, and I''l be in bean bag central reading.

*comes strolling into the Cantina as an oil lengthy shadow. Slipping through the door way kind of looking around the place. He starts to chuckle for softly, trying to keep it to himself mostly. He flattens his ears against his skull to gain control of himself. He paws over to the fire place where he comes to a rest to wait and see how his return will unfold. That is if any one remembers the one crazy wulf.*
Greetings long time ka-tet mates! I have been gone too far long and I hope no one has put up a tombstone in my honour!

[poisonbat]

My son left home yesterday. He is starting a wonderful career with a bright future ahead of him. I am grieving the loss of my baby but celebrating the life of a full grown man that I raised from an infant. It is rough on me but the best possible thing for him. Putting him on that airplane was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am anxiously awaiting his phone call this morning. I have neglected my school work and find myself with 2 exams today that I am not ready for.:down: but I can make the scores up later in the semester. I feel as if a piece of me is gone and I guess it is. He took a part of my heart with him when he left. I am deeply saddened by his departure but am happy for him to have such a wonderful start in life.

You did good, mom! :smile2:
One of the most beautiful (to me) poems about parents & children is from The Prophet

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all. Happy Groundhogs Day. Happy Groundhogs Day. Happy Groundhogs Day !!!! ( Loved that Cowboy).

Welcome back Wulf! Pull up a bean bag and catch up on the happenings.

Thanks, John--tomorrow's my BD but Flake sent me BD wishes as it's the 16th in her part of the world. :smile2: It was nicer in AZ than in it was in Maine but not as nice as it had been in January. C'est la vie! Still good to be there--hope to get back again later this year if I can get a decent air fare. Hope all is well with you and your growing family.

[bookworm101]

Happy Birthday Ms Mod, and congratulations John on arrival of new baby.

[HELLTEXter]

Hey Ms. Mod,

as it's also the 16th in my part of the world, I also want to wish you a very Happy Birthday yet. You'll get up soon anyway. :-) Enjoy your day!

Best wishes,
Dirk.

[Marianne]

Good morning everyone. Hope all is good and welcome back Ms Mod - good to see you.

I posted something in another thread but I wanted to post it here too. I just have to share it and I hope you don't mind :sleepy:

"Okay, I just have to tell someone about the movie Precious! Has anyone seen it? I went and saw it on Friday and it was a very emotional experience. This movie is not for the faint of heart... it is without a doubt the toughest most heart breaking movie I have EVER seen!! My heart was beating so fast the whole time and when I thought I'd seen/heard the worst, it just got worse. I cried and cried and had to hold my friend's hand throughout and afterwards I was left physically exhausted. I spent the rest of the evening contemplating (sp?) my own life and wrote many many pages in my journal. I also had an instant urge to text my closest friends and my family, to let them know how much I love them and how priviliged I am to have them in my life.

It was an emotional rollercoaster ride to watch Precious but it was SO worth it. Mo'Nique got a Golden Globe for her role as the mother and man did she deserve that!! I really hope she gets the Oscar too!! The whole film is very believable and I have to keep reminding myself that it was 'just' a movie! But then again, you just know that this is life for some people out there. That this is reality.

I recommend everyone to go see it - as long as you are prepare to be moved and touched!!

Thanks for listening."

As for me, my health is a bit under the weather but I figured I should check in before fellow ka-tet mates worry or put that tombstone up. *chuckles then turns into a coughing fit* oh boy, phew. I will take some hot tea please with a little dash of milk. Take care fellow mates. :oo:

[LadyPain]

Hi. I'm not around here much anymore, due to life overtaking things. Good news/bad news.

Good news. Got a raise at work last week, a whole buck an hour more, even with a slightly dodge-y performance review.

Bad news. My husband was in a car accident that made the news this morning. He's okay. The car needs some work, but the insurance will get it done. (Deductible... ouch.) I went and had a bloody MI from the stress and having had heart problems already from the lupus. I'll take any good vibes you can send.

Thanks...:sad:

[Moderator]

Good vibes coming your way. Glad to hear your husband is okay--must have been a bad one to make the news. And congratulations on the raise!

LadyPain, I'm very glad your husband is okay. Holding you both in good thoughts and prayers.

Noods, my prayers are with you and your family during this trying time. May your nephew rest in peace.

Spidey, thanks for the pizza and reminder to look out for Pyro and Buckwheat. I'd offer hugs but then I remembered Buckwheat doesn't like that sort of thing. Or maybe it was my sneaking up on him that he objected to. Anyway, I'm trying to give him some space.

Hey everyone, I am still alive. I have just been bogged down with school work. But I have some good news, my niece gave birth to a beautiful baby girl Monday afternoon and I got to be in the room with her while she had her. It was the most incredible experience I have ever witnessed. I have been on the delivering end 3 times but never on the receiving end. I will post some pics of her when I can. OH her name is Rylin Emma-Louann.

[poisonbat]

I am hoping for a good day today. I know I did not do well on my last math (statistics) test and I have to go to that class today. I already feel the horrible anxiety. I am disappointed in myself because I studied for that stupid test and still did poorly. Sometimes I think maybe I am too old and stupid to compete with the younger generation. I may be wasting my time. :dunno: I am doing my best, but it does not seem to be good enough.

Happy Thursday, Everyone!
Hope you all are well and keeping warm and dry. Lots of fog here; typical N. Cali weather.
Yay! More coffee and doughnuts--thanks, Mookie.

Good news there! I love it when I finally get to see the hummingbirds come back! We've had Robins for awhile now. (hummers are my fav) Ah, Spring is a beautiful season!

Thanks Spidey! My Wednesday is almost over. But I had a wonderful day. Was with the dog to the vet. My dog get he's injection. The spring, here in my country seems also to be near. The weather has warming up a lot and this snow has start to melt a little.

[Kim L.]

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
Any of that cherry streusel left to go with the coffee?
Getting a new chair delivered today for the living room; hope it looks as good as I remember when we picked out. The old chair has become the cats' toy.

Spring brings lots of tornados to our area and the first one was spotted this morning. Living on top of a hill can be very exciting.

[frisbee]

I'm going to wish everyone an early happy weekend. Going to go get my daughter from college for her vacation and its a long drive (about 8 hours). Back late tomorrow night.

[Spideyman]

Good Thursday everyone. Buckwheat and Pyro took the day off from visiting today. ( actually Spidey forgot to put the sign up last night):blush:
May all be safe from the quakes which are still happening in the world, plus the new Spring thread of severe weather in the southern USA.

Happy Thursday. I think I'll just take a cup of coffee and a nice corner seat

We are expecting some severe weather here as well. I can only hope my husband and kids make it home before it hits. (so I am not sitting worrying.)

[Cowboy]

Buckwheat and Pyro are in the house! What?....They didn't come? For those in need of animal contact, you are welcome to come pet my horse that I rode up on. He bites, so be careful.
Howdy friends, I would like a green tea to go with my slice of Pizza Pie that Spidey left me....Thanks Spidey, you da best!
Have a great evening.

[Kim L.]

Happy Thursday, everyone! Hot black coffee please, and I'll join Spidey in bean bag central, even if she did forget to put up the sign. :smile2:

That statement about your horse biting sure brings back memories! I've met one horse in my life that bit.( if you turned away from him) He did such a superb job of it, he'd leave you black and blue.( particularly shoulders and fanny) He was an appaloosa stallion on my Aunt and Uncles farm aptly named Bandito! The only time he wouldn't bite is if you had sugar cubes.... Ah, I miss those days!

[Spideyman]

Good Friday everyone! The weekend is almost here. For all along the east coast of the USA, and anywhere is it raining ..........

Good morning friends....stopping by for a quick drink (Red Bull Please). Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.:cool2:

Grabs some coffee and sits down gingerly on the spot Cowboy's horse just bit... feel like I'm in a David Eddings novel. Beautiful horse though. :wink2:

Monday Monday. Wanted to pop in shout out a hello, and wish our dear Tet-Mate Palerider a very happy birthday. If you stop by today Pale free drinks at the bar its on me.

[Spideyman]

Welcome to a new weekend and another Monday. Are we all on the correct time?:blush:

Getting more like Spring each day. Just came back from checking on the Ka-Tet Critters out back of the Cantina. All are looking well considering the winter weather we have had. All pets are welcome! Even Cowboy's biting horse.

For all who experienced near hurricane force winds this past weekend, and all the rain that came with it, be safe. Please do not drive on flooded roads.

Large iced herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central. I see many new members gathered there today.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

I hope we all had a good weekend and a great week in prospect.

AWSS about Spring, getting closer!

Wishing everyone a great week!! I will sit quietly in a corner and consume an entire case of red bull!! ( kids have the flu and I am beyond tired!)

[Kim L.]

Happy Monday, everyone!

Hope this is the start of a great week for you. My daughter burned a CD for me, called "Music for A Bad Day"--anyone's who's having a lousy day is welcome to come by a take a listen. Feeling pretty good today myself, nice and sunny outside.

*Strolling in calmly with a smile on my face*

I've had such a nice weekend and my Monday has been pretty good so far. It was my younger brother's 30th yesterday and the small family was gathered for cake and hot chocolate. It was so cool hanging out with my nephews.... they are SOOO cute!! And Milo (the youngest) just loves being in his aunt's arms :biggrin2: Ian has had a period where he didn't like physical contact but yesterday he was all about hugging and holding hands and when it was time for me to leave, he gave me lots of kisses! I get all soft in my knees :love: He's been through so many different tests this past year trying to diagnose him - they've been around ADHD but they are more likely to diagnose him as Autistic with ADHD symptoms. Either way, he's just adorable if you ask me. Yes, he's probably not at the same level as other 2 and a half year old's but who cares. He's special to us :love:

So it's been a good weekend and I'm looking forward to one coming up ahead too!! My flat mate from London is home for the weekend and we're meeting up. Also an American friend I have, who now lives in Stockholm is also in Copenhagen this coming weekend, so I'm meeting up with him too. Haven't seen him in.... oh maybe 5 years!! That's gonna be so cool :cool2:

Okay, to make a short story very long.... I'm just happy! So cheers to all of the above and hallelujah lol. Beer and pepperoni pizza for me, thanks.

[LadyPain]

*wanders in*

It's a day off from work. I'll take a bottle of Stoli to go, and a bag of Cheetos. Have a great day everyone! I'm going to have some fun here... cooking, making soap, etc.

[Spideyman]

Happy St. Patrick's Day Pizza Party!!

I cannot find the right thread for this but since I first read "Drawing of the Three", Eddie Dean has been Charlie Sheen for me. I know he is a sitcom guy on TV, but I think he would relish this role and excell in it.

[mstay]

Hi everyone and happy Monday!! I've been gone for a little while. Two vacations in a row.:biggrin2: Whew! I'm glad to be back!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes on my page while I was gone. You guys are great!:love:

I brought you all some M&M's from the M&M store in Las Vegas. Any color you want and an unlimited supply! Yum!! I'm kind of partial to the green ones so I'll take a small bowl and I'll be over in the beanbags reading "Horns" by Joe Hill. It's really good. :eek2:

[Spideyman]

Good morning everyone. A start to a new week. Hope everyone survived the weekend. Did a lot of gardening between the rain.
Welcome back Mstay! M&M, yum, and of course anything within the Cantina is cyber calorie free. Woo Hoo.
I see the critters are gathering- a sure sign of Spring.

Wishing everyone a good week.....hope all of you had a good weekend!! Mine was good except my puppy has developed a taste for drywall!! I now, have to fix it and convince him that there are better things to eat!!

[Cowboy]

Good morning friends. Hope all is well and that the weekend was good to you. I think I will grab a handful of M&M's and help Mookie fix that drywall. Have a great day!

Cowboy, TY for the help.....it's only the second time he's done it LOL! I keep letting him go to it and startling him,( clapping hands) hopefully he will associate that particular piece of drywall with the noise.

If he is going to the same spot, place some hot sauce on the drywall.....he will learn his lesson.:smile2:

[Mookie]

Cowboy, I have done that....and he likes it! I meant to get some Jalapeno at the grocery (forgot) and try that, hopefully that will phase him. He was eating pebbles out by our pond so, I took an entire bottle of hot sauce and dumped it on them......saw him lick some and go right back to chewing rocks. He is a stubborn one.:eek2:

[Spideyman]

If he is going to the same spot, place some hot sauce on the drywall.....he will learn his lesson.:smile2:

I tried that when Mack was a puppy- guess what, he loved it and feasted even more on the dry wall:eek2: Finally ended up using some of the sour tasting stuff they use for children who suck their thumbs.

On a better note : Good Morning to all! I think Mother Nature is off her meds again. The big chill is returning to the south tonight.
I'll make it a hot herbal tea and off to bean bean central. All are welcome to join.

Spidey, I will look for the bitter thumb sucking product. I will also try the stuff at the pet store that Speedy mentioned. I haven't tried that yet, because my neighbor mentioned that she tried it on her beagle and the beagle liked it. I know mine likes hot sauce!

[Spideyman]

Good morning to all. Wednesday is Pizza Day, so delivery at noon. Saving one in frig for Cowboy.
Beautiful day now that the fog has lifted. Should be doing some gardening.

Snowing again here in Vermont. Good thing I still have some Irish Stout left in the cooler.....

[Mookie]

Spidey, Herbal tea sounds wonderful! It's a little chilly here and damp so I will take mine hot!! I should be gardening too, but the weather here isn't cooperating yet.
