Posts: 1210 07/14/08 02:56 Mark Moderator Barista USA	Tags : None God Morgen/Good Morning The combination of loud thunder and heavy rain with Monday morning starting made me think of a nostalgic song to start the day. Here's the Carpenters with "Rainy Day Mondays Always Bring Me Down." To also help start out the day, we have virtual Starbuck's beverages which include Latte', Tazo Tea and Bold Venti, regular tea and decaf tea ... We also have regular coffee, decaf coffee, iced coffee, and iced tea as well ... I just can't squeeze in any more pictures here in cyberspace. Plus, we have a choice of Heart Smart Food (which includes porridge) and Krispy Kreme Donuts (for those who want to live a little more dangerously) So please relax, pull up a chair and chat with us a bit.

Posts: 1433 07/14/08 09:26 Quasimodo England	Mark, I hope you are feeling better today. Thank you for my porridge and tea. YUM! Paul, have a good fishing trip. Are you aiming to catch anything special, or are you just grateful for anything that throws itself your way? Bell. Love the bit about pulling the vacuum out and that's it! A girl after my own heart! Our village cream tea was a roaring success yesterday. The weather helped, by being the hottest and sunniest we have had for a month! We had just 4 scones left from 100 baked that morning and it was lovely seeing so many people, some villagers, some holiday makers, sitting in the sun, chatting and enjoying themselves. We put pretty tablecloths on and I decorated each table with little vases of roses, lavender, jews mallow, geraniums and honeysuckle, all from my garden. One couple were from Newcastle, down on holiday and they thanked us all for making their first days holiday so special. We made in excess of £160 to go towards our November fireworks. I am suffering now but it was worth it. Penny

Penny, I aim to catch anything, as long as it's a barbel and a big one. This (below) is what I seek (and if you click it it will get bigger ) .............. and if they are not wanting my bait then I'll have some scones, jam and cream, and a beer or three ............ but no pretty tablecloths for me paul4

I can do the work for you, if you like? I used to love fishing and can't wait till we get a boat I will be able to do it from. (lovely fish and a cute......ehh..handsome guy holding it - is it you?) Morning everyone. I grab a cup of Tazo tea, lean back and listen to the soft, soft music. Thanks, Mark. It fits perfectly with the weather outside my window. We're down to 52F today and it feels cold - even from the inside of the house. Today we finally could call the "mattress-specialist" He would send a service guy from the factory to fix our mattress to be softer. Not too costly either. I have to wait till the summer holiday was over though. It will be wonderful to get it done. Since I lie still on my back the whole night through, the one we have seems to make the circulation bad and I wake up sore and stiff. Hubby has taken Dustbunny to the vet today. It's time for the yearly vaccination. I told him he could go by himself since he's the one feeding her the lovehandles. I refuse to get reproached by the vet when I'm the one keeping her to her diet. He's more like many men are (no offense guys ) - a couple of hazel-brown eyes and he melts like butter in sunshine. He's been better lately though. Not because he's trying to be stricter with her, but because he's more afraid of my iceblue eyes when she comes and "tells" me he's been feeding her extra goodies. The little darling is great that way - she knows who's the boss. I'm happy to hear your function was a success, Penny. It sounds wonderful and I would surely liked to be there. Penny's so right, Bell - you're a girl after my own heart. I don't even bother to take out the vacuum though. Have a wonderful day everyone - take care! @lice

Posts: 3745 07/14/08 10:34 Sleepwalker	girls and boys Finally the weather has changed and now it's sunny and warm outside. We are going on a shopping trip today to buy some new clothes for hubby. He needs them badly. You know men; they never buy anything and always complain they've nothing to wear. Mark, thanks for brekkie and coffee. I need gallons of it to stay awake. Bell, never mind vaccuum cleaning. The dust won't run away. Unfortunately! Penny, glad you had a good day yesterday. Take plenty of rest today. Paul, have a good trip and hope you'll catch lots of fish. Alice, I hope you stay warm and cozy inside. Is Dustbunny a dog?? I know all about melting when you look into those soft brown eyes. My dog Max is a master in manipulating. One glance at me and I'm sold. I'll better get up and chase my teenage daughter out of the bathroom. She takes longer and longer to get ready. Have a wonderful day today and see you tonight.

Administrator Posts: 7071 07/14/08 12:27 Alice Norway	I used to shout "is that spider still in the plug hole" and mine ran out very quickly I bet you were a popular dad to have around. Yes, Moody - this is my Dustbunny...or at least how she "works" those eyes. She's 5...ehh...7 pounds of pure cuteness and it's hard to resist that look. The vet found her a bit on the heavy side, but not fat. Puhh!! But the kneecap on one of her back legs was a bit loose, so she would benefit from loosing some weight. This is a problem with the breed and we've had another "bunny" who had to have surgery for the same thing. Luckily she was fine afterwords and never had more problems with it. But, of course, we wouldn't like to have surgery on Dustbunny. General anesthesia can be very dangerous for those small dogs.

Posts: 1433 07/14/08 13:10 Quasimodo England	Paul, your 'spider in the plughole' made me remember a time many years ago when our three were children. One day, our eldest son found a spider in the bath, so he scooped it out, put it in a box and had his shower. Then it went back in the bath. Our other son did the same and so did our daughter. Hubby and I had to comply as by now, Incy Wincy was part of the family. It got bigger and bigger and I found out that the boys were feeding it bits of minced beef from the freezer! Although just a house spider, it was enormous and I used to joke that it had elbows and teeth! It lived in our bath for about 6 months until suddenly it disappeared. The kids were devastated and our daughter cried for days. Memories aye? Penny

Posts: 7085 07/14/08 13:53 Medical Consultant California US	Good morning. Enjoy your fishing Paul. Congrats on your tea (I'm waiting for my scone with Devonshire cream) and happy Guy Fawkes preparations, Penny. Mark, I went to school with the Carpenters, they were a couple years ahead of me. I never saw them except at football games, they were Vic and Vickie Viking for the Downey Vikings. (Wonder woman was in my year and I never saw her at all). I'd ask for Fleetwood Mac's Monday song next week, except I'm not sure I'll be checking in then as I'm leaving at the end of this week. Have to see if I have both time and internet access. I'm taking 12 kittens to the vet for well kitten physicals as well as their mums. Oh my aching arms. Wish me luck. your friend,

Hell, I said "chin up" yesterday - how very British of me Hey Paul, thanks for what you said yesterday - it's probably why I love the British people so much - between your advice to keep my chin up and Penny's advice to go for a walk, I feel much better today ... I actually had to lower my head a bit to see the cracks in the concrete walkways to keep from tripping - LOL Maryland: It is comparable in size to the European country of Belgium.

Posts: 1764 07/14/08 16:30 Rosie USA	Mark, thanks for starting out our day! I love that song... perfect way to start out my rainy monday morning here in Florida. I hope you are feeling better today. Kit, 12 kittens... Oh my! Good luck taking them all to the vets! Paul, great fish you posted-- Love that you can just click on it and it gets bigger Have a great time and hope you catch lot's of fish! Penny, glad that you had a good day yesterday and hope you can rest today... loved the story of your son with the spider! My 2 boys have done simular things when they were young--- I found a small snake that they decided to keep as a "pet" in their underware drawer one time Amber, hope you have a good day also! Allis, that little "dustbunny" gets cuter and cuter! I have to watch a couple of my small poodles for knee problems also... my oldest one is 12 years old now and can't jump like he used to but tries to anyway and I'm afraid for his knees-- I got steps but he is too stubborn to use them, Much like me.. I don't like to use my walker either! Moody, hope you have a good shopping trip today! I'm having a rather quiet day here--trying to rest while my grandson is still sleeping this morning. I also have spent some time outside with the pups before it began raining. I bought 3 hybiscus bushs and put them in big pots .. it looks like they may bloom this week so I'll try to take some pictures. Hope those in pain, will find relief today... Take care everyone. Have an awsome day! Rosie

Posts: 2103 07/14/08 16:38 Watcher USA	Thanks Mark for the song . It's grey here today too . I have to go get an MRI on my low back later today . The pain doc says they won't find anything but my rhuemy thinks they will , it's always nice one when one doc tried to humor the other doc As for me I hope they don't find anything but the fibro lol . After the great escape Ozzy pulled off over the weekend , he's a member of the heavy chain gang this morning Right now he's just standing out in the yard looking as if I've wounded his little feelings I end up laughing at the tourists because Ozzy does his wounded abused puppy routine everytime anybody comes by to take pics of the house ! I even heard him begin to whine and then fall to the dirt (like the pro actor he is) as if the chain is soooo heavy lol . Paul I'll take the fish and some of Pennys scones mmmmmm I was on myspace just now and I posted a whine cause I'm hurting all over today . One of my friends posted this cool little dragon only seconds after I'd posted that I'm hurting . So I'm shareing him with everybody here whose hurting today , hope he can help .

You do such a grand job of keeping us all happy and amused, and darn it, I wasn't here on the day when you needed a little pick me up from friends yourself!
