Good Morning everyone! Coffee is on!

I will be MIA sort of for the next couple of days - I am working .

Tom - great news on Al!!! WooHoo!

COFFFFFFFFFFEEEEE - STAT (sorry Tink)

ah the simple things in life, like being in your own bed with your family all tucked in and safe in their beds. Sorry to any neighbors who were woke up by my snoring last night

The furkids were even glad their "Daddy" (aka bed warmer) was home last night. Nothing quite as nice as waking up with 40 pounds of CAT laying on ya and their pressing their DAMNED cold noses to yours when they realize you are waking up.

coffee is kicking in.

Hey Patrick, I hope your test went well last night. Hope your studying for it paid off.

.

I am poof!!!!

Have a great morning everyone!

Good Morning Debbie!

Good morning. Nice crisp fall day here in NE, rain is moving in for later this weekend.

Okay, go back under your desk. I'll go find a banana for him.

Jerry, that is my kinda monkey. Packing a pistol LOL! I often forget I am "packing". My purse is a little heavier and it's not due to money

Freddie, have a great day! It's rainy and chilly here today. Still wearing my flip flops and capris though. I am NOT giving in to this fall/winter weather!!!!

Hey, Debbie!

Morning Krispi, Kobi, PATRICK!

PATRICK, YOU CAN'T BE SICK SO CLOSE TO VEGAS!!
Krispi, don't encourage PATRICK.
Kobi, Sorry I caused you more work yesterday, but it was good talking to you.

What did I miss with you, Sir Patrick? You a sickly one?? Hope you feel better soon !

Cold here, too; overcast, just yucky. Indian Summer can happen ANYTIME NOW.... Kobi can't you get your gun and DO SOMETHING???? Good lord, people, I need SUNSHINE !

And those of you going to Vegas will have it soon ! So jealous ! Wish I was bunking at MGM with my Vegas Girls.....

Where the heck is Bill. Maybe I should watch the web cams??

I like Turtles

Hey Kelly!!! Yes, you need to come to Vegas There is room in the room LOL!

I will see what I can do about the weather. I hate these kind of days. The dogs come to work with us and, somehow, think they need to go OUTSIDE every hour on the hour. I'm taking batteries out of the office clocks LOL!

Good morning Everyone !! Checking in late today. We have 15 more days till we go to Bonaire. Hope to see some turtles and dolphins this time

Morning, Timmmy

Linda, you didn't make extra work woman! No problemo. I am heading to Staples to check on them doing the iron on for a certain upcoming trip It's right beside Michael's so will go be nosey and if not tape is the word of the day LOL!

Tape is a good thing.

Morning all

Linda, love the pink FF

It rained all day yesterday and is cool and foggy this morning, loving it! I start PT on the ankle, and hopefully can begin working out again in two weeks...I can't wait! I am NOT patient...

Debbie ... lol ...

Kelly, waaa on Vegas, it just won't be the same riblet

OK, I'm seriously worried about Mr. Bill...I hope he's just having a fabulous time and no time to post. Do we know where he's staying? Maybe LaDonna can go check on him? Speaking of LaDonna, where are our daily Bon pics woman???

OK, another busy day at the donut shop on tap...FOOP!

Tink, I sent you e-mail this morning.

Isn't that FF something? She really stood out on the dark sponges. Couldn't find the boyfriend.

(Message edited by tlraz on October 15, 2009)

Is it still morning?

Kobi, did you look inside one of the mini envelopes?

Thank God it's Friday.

Tom, want to go out to lunch?

Good Morning to all. I am sitting here, paying bills online. Not too much fun. I needed a break from that depression. We went to our final Bruce Springsteen concert last night. Enough. I am way Bruced out. It was at the Spectrum, in Philadelphia, which is coming down. So, in that case it was pretty cool to be a part of that history. I can make the claim that I was at the first major concert in 67 (The Cream) and the last concert (Springsteen) Hope everyone is well. Patrick, you need to get rid of the microbes, so you can play holdem with a clear head. Kobs, keep the safety on, Deb, that was a very profound period, Kelly, you are evn cute when you write, Tom, welcome back amigo, Timmmy, snapper soup is awesome with sherry, Jerry, get crackin on the tenderloin.

Linda, will look when I get to work, I haven't checked my email in a week...oops!

I agree Jim, snapper soup is awesome. How do you know about Sherry? She said that she never told anyone about that night at the beach?

Linda, I did peek in small envelopes. Hope you don't care? You are good woman, very good and very sweet too!

Jim, no safety on my gun. Its' double action only but nothing in the chamber so I guess I'm not really cocked and locked LOL! It's OK I am fast

Cynde, have a good day at work. I will pass on the donuts; trying to slim up before Vegas LOL!

Good Morning Kids!:

I have been a busy girl this morning. Got the painting to the photographer, now I have a perfect image on CD. What to do with that???LOL
I went to Lowe's and bought what I would have used to make frames and took it to Lonnie (frame guy) and he said it was perfect!!!

So, now a few more trips to Lowe's and I'll be good to go!!

I hope everyone has a great day!

PS, how about showing us????

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY, PS!!! Good with everything.
Sounds like you're making great progress!!!

I looked at flights and dates for PS's art festival, but I cann't make it work. THAT'S a MM I would have loved to make happen!! November is a month with little time off for me...

Back from Mom's and back to work for me. I guess I missed a big rig crash on the Bay Bridge yesterday that blocked 4/5 lanes and trapped cars in transit for 5 hours....

Good morning!
CB, you missed ANOTHER earthquake yesterday!
Fall Festival at school today and I'm am working my behind off! (good thing, I need to slim down a bit for my tube top and spandex Vegas outfit!)

I'm excited about Vegas, seeing old friends and new ones!

Kelly , beds too big without you! LOL

Tom, awesome news dude!!!

Jerry, leave your monkey alone for corns sake! you'll go blind!!!

Wow, CB!! Glad you missed that wreck. Hope everyone involved is OK.

Glad you are home safely!

Hey, Roomie
Spandex?! LMAO!!!

Good luck with your school festival. Sounds fun but tiring!
And YEOW on the earthquake!!!

RA, I'll take the earthquake over the school festival....

Where the heck are they centered? Eric hasn't even noticed them?

The one the other night was near Milpitas and the one last night was in east San Jose!

I need to get to work and do not want too!!!

I;m making candy coated pretzels in the shape of mummies!

RosAnne, of course you are....

The monkey is on my deck

Sounds like a Duran Duran song, Jerry....

Kobi, it must be a Glock. That is what my son carries. I went to the range with him last summer. First time I fired a weapon since 1969.

Awww, what a fun MM that would be!!!! Hang out at the art show, do a little shopping and eating downtown, come back to my house, have a little partay.....CB, TRY AGAIN!!!!

OH MY!!!! Earthquakes too?????? There are people up near San Jose without power now for almost 48 hours. I hope they have enough water and supplies...I know what it's like after a hurricane and not having anything. And when you have kids, that's just NOT good!!!! I hope all of yall are ok.

Oh Jerry, you are asking me to figure out how to get art off a cd, and then post it?????? I'm gonna try, I need it downloaded on this computer to send to the printer....Here I go!! Wish me luck!!!

"It must be a Glock."....hmmm....can't remember a time when I had cause to mutter that sentence. KOBI, TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR PURSE BEFORE VEGAS! Geez, rooming with RosAnne will be hazardous enough.

PS, get yourself in an art show in the spring, and I bet you'd have an audience....

PS, that would be a great MM. Between you and CB all your paintings would be sold in half an hour.

You'd be way close enough to get in on it, Miss Linda...

Well Good Morning BT

RA - there's a statewide earthquake drill in just shy of an hour.... we're all supposed to stop, drop and hold on

Not much fun to report here... the rain has stopped, the cats are have gone back outside, the work I left on my desk last night is still there (where are those gremlins when you want them!).

No worries though... it's always great to come here and check in with my FamDamily!

CB, I could pull that one off. I've had to cancel lots of plans lately with work schedule not allowing me to take days off. Plus you know who's "problem" still up in the air.

Beats finding Jerry's monkey on your deck.
Off to lunch. I've been starving all morining.

(Message edited by tlraz on October 15, 2009)

Linda, I've been thinking of you, my friend.

Tara, earthquake drill? My girlfriend once told me that that consists of making sure you have enough scotch an cigarettes to get you through the week.....

Oh, Holy CARP!!!! I'm on my laptop now, I tried to open it in Photoshop, my other computer is SO confused!!! I am trying different things and hopefully I will be able to post from that computer soon. I am a waterhead!!!!

Wait, there may be hope...still on laptop....

Dang!! I hope the printer is able to take really large files, or I am in big trouble!!!

PS, 11111

OK, let's try this!!

The prints will be 24"x30".....

I DID IT!!!!!!! I'm so not a TOTAL BLONDE!!!!LOL

Nice PegiSue, real nice!

Tara, I read about the earthquake drill this morning: http://www.examiner.com/x-25803-Natural-Disasters-Examiner~y2009m10d15-California-readies-for-massive-earthquake-drill

Very nice PS. Don't do to many geeky things or your hair will darken.

It's been a very weird news day, the drug running plane crash, this is one of first things I read this morning, which for some reason just seems funny. And then there's this, don't pet things with horns, and if men practiced this there would be no future generations (badda bing ).

CB! hahahahahaha! Kobi, please no loaded guns through the airport, bad, bad things happen when you try that!!

PS - Bellissimo!

Tara, I saw the state wide drill thing..OY! I'm in the middle of making pretzel mummies!!

Very funny Cecil!!

I'm trying to upload it to the printer now.....This could take years!!!!

10 mins Cali Girls

PS that is bbbbeeeeeeaaautifullllllllllll!!!

Ann posted about that plane crash on FB...

For some reason my Outlook has decided to do every email twice --- Yeehaw twice the junk mail.... it's going to be a long day.

OMGosh!! I think it worked!!! I ordered a print for me, so I can see what these people do with them. After that.....well, you know!!!
The original is 5' x 4'....At the photographers we shot it and sized it to 1/2 the size - 30" x 24"....Who knew how stressful and artshow could get!!!!! Ah, but I love it!!!! IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!

Cecil, that's funny...right now my hair is 1/2 blonde and 1/2 dark all underneath....I don't stand a chance!!!!!LOL

PS, email me how much you are going to be charging for the prints

Did you all know that today is National Grouch Day? I like number four
National Grouch Day

I like turtles

Nice PS.

Have you seen my hockey puck?

Hi Francois.. I think that Marcell might have one you can borrow, If not then he does have blue balls to share..........

Just check out my blog!!!! The printer drop ships to the buyer!!! IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!

PS..love it! how beautiful it turned out!!

OK...stop drop and grab 'em...is it time yet??

Oh..never mind..I am in TN..WHEW!

Jerry...YGM

Thank God they found it.

MS said blue balls

Here's Mystery Google, I searched for small engine and got streichholzschächtelchen.

Jim, hope you enjoyed your time at the range.
We try to go every weekend
I do own a Glock but my carry is a Micro Desert Eagle 380. LOVE that little thing!

Trust me, I have been told a 100 times, by Rob, to switch purses BEFORE leaving for Vegas LOL! Good thing I just bought a new tote

My mummies!

They are candy mummies attached to a pretzel rod. You know how many of these damn things I had to make??? A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we say Glock on BT?

RA, very cute, you are such a good mommy....

is anyone watching the news about the 6 year old trapped in a run-away hot air balloon???

Holy CARP!!!!
msnbc video feed

Boom just saw that!

Boom, I was just about to post that! Here's the story...
6 year old floats away in balloon

Got some good news to share!

My daughter, Tiffany, who most of you know is studying Marine Biology in college has been asked to join a dive research team that is going to Flower Gardens! http://flowergarden.noaa.gov/
She is so excited and her prof. is taking care of getting her nitrox certified, as all scientific divers going has to be nitrox. She got her scientific diving cert. this past summer and has been waiting for a chance to be able to go on a research trip!

Now, I will be nervous as it is 100 miles out to sea and quite far from land. I am not worried about her "sea legs", she's got that covered, but the mommy in me is worried for the other stuff that can go wrong things. But, I am sure this won't be her last one as she really plans on this and a lot more of these kind of things in the future, so I better get tough. I am very excited for her!

This will take my mind of my darn bum knees!

RA, those are adorable Can you pack some for the trip in case we get hungry in the room late at night!?!?! LOL
I'm kidding!!!!

I gotta say you are an awesome Mom!!!

Congrats to Tiffany!!!

Holy Schmoly on this balloon story!!!

those mummies are cute!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! TIFFANY That looks like quite the adventure!

Congrats to Tiffany! WOW, that is awesome. Us BT'ers have some amazing kids!

6 yr old in a homemade ballon...yikes! my kids watch this show called "Dude, what would happen" and they recently had a similar episode!

I HATE MUMMIES!!!! LOL

RA, yes, please bring some to Vegas!

OMG on the balloon, no boy inside it...he's not in the home...they said the bottom and the door was made of cardboard...i hope he didn't jump out at some point????

Debbie, congrats to Tiffany!

There was no kid in the balloon. What do you want to bet he's at a neighbors' house hiding or watching cartoons?

Debbie, Congrats to Tiffany! I've wanted to dive the Flower Gardens for years.

Debbie, Congrats to Tiffany...she is so kickin' a@@!!!!! I just feel so proud and I never even met her!

Mom and I are listening to the live feed (thanks BH) and trying to find out what's going on.....

dang as I was watching that video.... I almost burned up my bedroom............ left a high intensity light too near the pillows.....egad.........that kid better be hiding somewhere.........

RA, are you anywhere near Watsonville????

I'm just wanting to send some help, I got so much during the hurricanes.....my kids and I did great, thanks to help...if I can sent some..I will!!

I have been watching this story, if anyone needs some prayers and positive thoughts, it is this 15 y.o. who is fighting for his life right now in Florida. This story hits home as I have a 15 y.o. and things like that should never happen to anyone, let alone a child. My heart goes out to him and his family.

Forgot the story: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TEEN_SET_ON_FIRE?SITE=AZPHG&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Not to play down the other story, hoping he is at a neighbor's house or somewhere close to home and shows up soon. Parents? Wonder where they were at and did they actually see him in there when it took off? Lots of sad stories about today.

RA, YGM!!! Let me know,,.,

PS - got it, check your mail!

You check your mail, no, you check your mail.

The hell with it!

THANK YOU!!! This is why I love BT!!! But, there are friends that you think you can ask, and it's so nice to be right!!! TY!!!

The only mail I get is" Make her happy with this blue pill"

So I bought Louise a months worth, she's still not happy?

••••, Jerry, how did you get a HH before me???? OH, that would be mom and I with some kind of "ICE" beer...It doesn't even taste right!!!!
IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEYOND TIME!!!!!!!






That took me forever to type!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh man... Guy came in and we went to lunch... I was really hoping to come back and find that Balloon Boy had been found... sad heart here

Debbie I told Guy about that boy... it's frightening what some kids will do to others.

I must say it's awfully nice to have the hubby here now The rest of the day will fly by!

I can not believe they haven't found him yet!!!!

Check the trees!

Click.

Anyone want to buy some blue pills?

The only thing they seem to have done is give Louise a stiff neck.

I think she should take two tonight?

Jerry, you are SO bad!!!

tell Lou to put them out on the deck.......................

PS well past time for sure,.......

The little boy has been found, never was in the balloon. Was hiding in a box in the home's attic. What do you think of this being a publicity stunt? Hmmmm.

Hey PegiSue, when I figure a way to get it down to Bonaire, I will get one of your prints for the Master Bedroom! Just too big for a suitcase or to take on the plane. Have to think this one out for a bit. It would look mighty fine above the bed. Glad you are getting prints made.

Cheers PegiSue 'n' Y'all

Hey Oktoberfest is next week, will be getting some more Lederhosen & Dirndl pics

actually I'm trying to get some Lederhosen to wear too !! @!@

Debbie, I thought about it being a publicity stunt as well. They were on Wife Swap, and maybe they needed a boost with personal projects????

And I bet that little boy is in deep doo doo with his parents if it wasn't a hoax...

(Message edited by lovetodive on October 15, 2009)

Roy!!!! Glad to see you
Lederhosen That is a funny word.
I will run get my trusty translator out LOL!

I believe it translates to those cute little leather shorts with bib suspenders that the German men wear to Octoberfest can't wait to see photo Roy

we were wondering if the making of the balloon wasn't for a prank for the anniversary of the War of the Worlds prank...

I can see the kid letting the balloon go and then thinking.... uh ohhhhhhhhhh
Kids let balloons go all the time!

glad that he's not splat!

lederhosen lederhosen lederhosen lederhosen lederhosen

this would be the Florida Walmart version of Lederhosen

LMAO, Roy
Your getup will be much sexier, I know!!! LOL!

No lederhosen but the colors are peaking here along with some BT'ers me thinks.

Cecil, beautiful pictures!!!

I can't wait for peak week here; love this time of year.
It's unseasonably cool here & our hope is it's NOT a sign of long winter ahead!

ROY!!!! I knew you'd cover my a@@ for HH!!!! YOU have done good, Grasshopper!!!!!

Tara, I bet Kayla comes home with a story about HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

I fell asleep for a bit, so it is
SO PAST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I could have deleted that....all the sudden I remembered that I said it was "TIME".....I'm gonna leave it, just 'cause it IS "TIME" in CA!!!!! Finally, we got out West Coast Girls covered!!!! Laugh at me, if you must...I can handle it!!!

And, as they say in Pegi World..."Have another Beer!!!!!!!!!!!!"HA HA HA HA HA

How cool are we on the east coast! We can celebrate several Happy Hours LOL!

I'm watching Survivor. It's a food challenge and it's rather UGH actually!

EWWWW! Survivor and Food Challenge???? That can NOT be good!!! Mmmmmm, worms!!!!!!

I almost just got scammed... I'm trying to tie up a few lose ends (read that pay bills) before I leave for the weekend and I'd gotten a notice that I needed to file my Annual Statement of Information for my LLC.... the due date said today so I'm hurrying it along and only realized it was a dummy company after finding another statement from another dummy company... in fine print at the bottom it says by submitting the form I am authorizing so&so to file my statements for me.... uh no fing way! grrrrrrr!!!! I'm so sick of these parasites who scam small businesses. I get them all the time saying that I HAVE to buy this poster or that form or I'll be out of code or illegal (of course those are always about employees and well... I am the only one here!)....
Ahnold Terminator is going to hear from me come Monday.....

okay... back to survivor food eeewies!!
thank you for letting me vent!

Tara,
We are a small business, but incorporated, and they hit us a lot too! Makes me angry every time I get that call or that junk in the mail or fax. My shredder works OVERTIME at the office. Idiots I tell ya!

Hope you have a great weekend with your Lipstickers!!! Sounds like a blast!!!!

They had icky, ewwie food on Survivor tonight. Milk shakes with squid, sea slugs and jellyfish OH MY!
Burp.....

Thanks Kobi! I'm really looking forward to the weekend - the ear ache is gone Unfortunately one of the girls has come down with the flu Doctor put her on tamiflu but no way she'll be able to join us.

Thanks for letting me bend your ear too - I knew you'd know just what I was talking about! I usually catch those things right away but since I was trying to hurry I almost blew it! I'm definitely going to file a complaint on Monday those --- these are so fraudulent!

I'm SO glad that your ear ache is gone! Go have a wonderful time and call Ahhhnold on Monday and give him a piece of your mind about all the business BS scammers! Makes me mad too!!!

Sorry to hear about one of the Lipstickers getting the flu Hope she feels better very soon and be sure to butt dial her a time or twelve while you gals are having some fun. She can pretend she's there and will enjoy that I'm sure.

Stay healthy! I am trying to do the same in light of all the snotties around our area NOT looking forward to the plane ride but am SO looking forward to the company and destination!!

Not much tonight....but good stuff for tomorrow...I think!

Here's a fun story.
After getting my ass kicked on the auction from Mr. Bill, I went to a artist in town that painted dogs to die for, gave him $250.00 to start. He was doing a hell of a job I must say. Well I called tonight to see about the framing. Phone was dead. This was going to be L's Christmas gift.

Long story short. He's gone. his place is empty. I'm sick.

let's try that again




LaDonna

That sucks a big green one, Jerry. Any TV consumer advocate around there? (we do here - they try to track the bum down and try to squeeze blood from a turnip.)

Very cool pic's Donna, thanks.

He's gone home, left the USA, maxed out credit cards, loans, he had a plan. Now we have to pay for this ass.

What pissed me off the most, I have very little time left to get this done for Louise.

Like my dear friend Tom would say, "bad day to give up crack".

I give up.

oh man Jerry that really does suck.... no two ways about it. I've never had a painting commissioned so I'm no help in that arena.

LaDonna your pictures are just a ray of sunshine ~ thank you for sharing daily

Time for me to pack:
** walking shoes - check
** bottle of vodka - check
** personalized cd - check
** jammies - check

Jerry, sorry about what happened That makes me sick as well!!!

Tara, pack on girl!!! Enjoy every second with your friends.
Don't forget your camera

Goodnight, BT

Jerry.....

Jerry I have a friend who knows alot in Newburyport. He was president of the Chamber of Commerce. What painting business is it? Maybe he can look into where the painter guy is now.
email me. . . And I have another friend who is part of the art community in Newburyport. She may be able to tell me something too. Let's hope the painter had to close but is still working and will be in touch with you. I'll talk to my hope angel for you too :-)
Denise

He's in Greece now. His stuff in on a ship that left NJ on Monday.

Thanks Denise, but he was from Merrimack Port.
