The 34th Random TPBM Chat and Bubble Wrap Bursting Thread

[BearLeeAlive]

oh good heaven's yes. But because it's the same root stock (plant) as JBM, it's extremely similar in taste. Less expensive (say $5.50/lb vs. $25lb green) because it's not grown in the Jamaica blue mountains. :lol:
I thought so, the JBM is better, but over 4 times.....
The reason I asked is that they seem to be charging about the same that blend as they are for the JBM.
There are announcements just to tell people that you are graduating. Then there are invitations to ask people to come. :lol:
Everyone who we want to know, we want to come... SO, she gets announcement/invitations. :lol:
Gotcha.........her graduation is a secret until you are ready to tell people. ;) :lol:

Thanks guys. That bridge (well there are two of them) the rusty old thing with dodgy christmas lights on it is the "Charlestown Bridge", and the funky new beast is the shortly named "Leonard P Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge" yeah...a mouthful and a half - oh, it is on the North side of Boston.

The one my wife makes is a heavier cake, almost like a fruit cake without the fruit. She says the lighter cakes call apart and this one holds all the rum inside. I'll see if I can get a recipe when I get home.

BTW.. Some outstanding night shuttle launch pics here.

I'm actually surprised that she hasn't asked if we can redo her senior pictures now that she has her braces off. :lol:

Is this stormy weather supposed to let up soon?

[short5]

I think it is letting up now. It got so ugly we pulled everyone until 7 tonight when the blizzard warning expires.

[cfpackerfan]

I really really really REALLY don't understand some people. :?

We posted an ad on Craigslist for the dogs at the shelter, and someone responded with this:

I hate to tell you all this but every animal I've tried to resue at the ST. George animal shelter has died on me.
At one time I thought by resueing them I was helping them, even when the ST. George animal shelter made me pay outragous fee's to adopt a pet from there. I've lost money every time, and found out I did them no favor.

I brought one cat home and it was loaded with worms! I tried to get rid of them but it still died a year later. One dog I brought home ran away as did a fully grown cat,in fact as did 3 other cats. Then one cat I brought died from Cat lukimia and got all my other cats infected also and then they all died. It's just a waste of money to buy any animal from that shelter.

As for the dogs they post on there, they look like they are just barking dogs that everyone would hate. Thats why their owners got rid of them. Just please put them down. As far as Im concerned all the animals from there r infested with worms or have something wrong with them. U guys say u have a vet look at all of the incoming animals but I doubt it, other wise, why would they be infested with worms and cat lukimeia?

I'll never buy another animal from there. Do them all a favor and just put them down.

GAA!!!

Their animals ran away, and they blame the shelter?

The dogs are all there because they bark?

GAAAA.

I really do hate people sometimes.

[short5]

Looks like they extended the warning until 10 pm

I finally got around to doing something about the truck tire with the two nails in it. I took it to a tire place and they repaired it. For nothing...

I asked how they did the repair and the salesman said they took the tire off the wheel, pulled the nails, roughed up the holes and plugged them, the roughed up the inside of the tire around the plug and put a patch on the inside. Sounds to me like a good repair.

I'm so not doing well with surviving the "empty nest" thing. :(I'm almost an emptu nest. Still have one in college and I'm loving it. I do miss them at times and am looking forward to the next phases, but no way would I want them to move back home.

[CrazieCricket]

Another nice looking dog!




Paula, great shot of the pup!
Thank you both!


Can't forget my baby!!! Looks like jaws is after her.:lol::lol:

Z! that ^^^. . . and there's no surer way to ensure he doesn't do something than to order him to do it.

I finally got around to doing something about the truck tire with the two nails in it. I took it to a tire place and they repaired it. For nothing...

I asked how they did the repair and the salesman said they took the tire off the wheel, pulled the nails, roughed up the holes and plugged them, the roughed up the inside of the tire around the plug and put a patch on the inside. Sounds to me like a good repair.

I think free repairs is the policy of this place (it's a chain) in order to get people to come back in when they need to replace their tires.

Now that's great customer service!

That looks good Cat. BTW, where is she moving on to, and when?


She is considering Oregon. There is no 'when' yet.





http://www.ps-images.com/Family-Friends-n-Pets/Pets/20100210-3546/785668823_hZFVt-XL.jpgGreat shot! :)
Glad you got the lens and it's working ok for you. Did you get an estimate of how much it might be to clean it?

[cfpackerfan]

Denise, I loved the drawing of your boy that you posted earlier.

Zane... WAY too much snow.

Not yet. I've been busy with getting ready to go to Texas this weekend. I thought I would call Canon when we get back next week.

[cfpackerfan]

Cat, did you see the Pachie post for you guys? :lol::lol:YES! I meant to say something earlier. :lol: That was too cute. :lol:

Cat, Oregon as in the U of O?No. As in "I've got to get out of Utah for a while, and I like Oregon, maybe I'll transfer to an Albertsons up there and work for awhile". :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

My little nephew has been here for about 2 hours, and has cried almost the whole time. *pulls hair out*

He just sits by the door and says "Daddyyyyyyyy..... Mommyyyyyyyy,,,,,"

We've got toys spread out all over the livingroom, and a cartoon playing, nothing works. :lol: GAA! Give me a barking dog any day. :lol:

[CrazieCricket]

No. As in "I've got to get out of Utah for a while, and I like Oregon, maybe I'll transfer to an Albertsons up there and work for awhile". :lol:
But but what about her main squeeze? Is he going with her? Are they still together? :confused:

[BearLeeAlive]

No. As in "I've got to get out of Utah for a while, and I like Oregon, maybe I'll transfer to an Albertsons up there and work for awhile". :lol:
Maybe she could tour around to the various POTN friend homes, and stay there for a while, working and getting to know the various places. ;)

[JWright]

Cat, Oregon as in the U of O?

There are other schools in Oregon besides U of O and OSU. Isn't Lewis and Clark in Portland a good Liberal Arts campus?

No. As in "I've got to get out of Utah for a while, and I like Oregon, maybe I'll transfer to an Albertsons up there and work for awhile". :lol:

Gee, does Dan's place of employment have anything to do with that? ;)

[JWright]

Maybe she could tour around to the various POTN friend homes, and stay there for a while, working and getting to know the various places. ;)

Problem with that is that she'd get one whiff of our climate here and never leave. That happens to a lot of people. :confused:

Well, if you had as much snow as we do . . .

Seriously, this year we've had the most snow since 1884. And it's only mid-February. Our biggest storms have usually come in March.

Hi, All. Just jumping in to give out a "Hi". Been busy with drawing and such. I gotta get up before ODark Thirty tomorrow, so I'm actually off to bed.

Carry on.

I hate to tell you this, but every loaf of bread I've purchased from Alberston's winds up getting eaten. Every time I go to that store and I get some bread, doesn't matter what kind; white, wheat, rye, sourdough, french, whatever, it eventually gets either eaten or it goes stale or something. I mean, COME ON. I'll never buy bread from that store again.

It appears that Luna is not doing well at her new foster home. She keeps picking fights with the dogs there, and has got her butt kicked already twice. Looks like she'll be coming back to us tomorrow.

[cfpackerfan]

maybe Luna just belongs with you guys.Yeah, maybe. I don't want to set my mind on that though, ya know? I so badly want her to find a home... that feels like giving up. In a way.

Is Luna with Lorraine, or at another foster home? Sorry to hear of hear troubles.She's at Lorraine's. But Lorraine has Jack, and he doesn't put up with any shenanigans. And Luna has LOTS of those. :lol:

[misspix]

G'night!

[Permagrin]

hahaha I just had a funny thought. I ordered some of these (http://www.petco.com/product/100523/Dickens-Closet-Personalized-Adjustable-Nylon-Tuff-Collars-in-Paradise-Purple.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch) (in various colors) for Kona & Hale. It dawned on me thought that no matter who sees Hale's...they will still call her Hale (rhymes with hail) or Hayley. NO one gets it right. I dunno why I bother.

[gjl711]

... Any romantic notions I ever had about the fluffy white stuff have been displaced once and for all by memories of the horror of actually living with it.Yes.. but I'm still living the nightmare. What we get here is worse. With 50 inches everything shuts down. With 12 inches your still expected to be at work on time so it just becomes a major PITA.

[Permagrin]

who's Jack, Cat?


Is that where the Kirby got beat up?




NIIIIIGHT DRAAAAGONNNNN!

[BearLeeAlive]

Good night Terri. :D

[cfpackerfan]

NIIIIIGHT DRAAAAGONNNNN!

Jack is a long term foster that she's got. He's got a very strong personality. He has caused issues before, but she's working with him. It limits who she can have at her house though.

No, Kirby got beat up by one of the other unneutered black lab males that we pulled from the shelter. He's still out at Apple Valley.

GOOD NIGHT TERRI!!!

[BearLeeAlive]

I too am off to read. See youz all later. :D

And we've added at least 8" to it overnight with more coming.

Do you have a lot of downed limbs from the weight of the snow?

oh I forgot to mention the earthquake. Wow, I'm going to go look up what faults are around there.

Well there is my brother- in...oh wait, you probably mean a different kind of fault.;)

Just got my new snowshoes

I'd like to try snowshoes someday.


Now see, this is where I question my momhood. I have three adult kids. I will admit being emotional at milestones, but I just didn't get the 'OMG my kid is leaving and I am devastated' that so many of my friends have. :confused: I was more excited for them than sad for me. (more hot water in the morning, frosted flakes lasted longer....)

I think I am defective.

Nope, Curt kept wondering when the tears were going to come after dropping CJ at college the first time. I told him I was too happy to cry, have raised him as a single parent most of his life, I was thrilled and proud he made it that far.

There is still some info that needs to be added later, and I'll probably tweak a few things, but this is the basic idea:

Very nice, and awwww on Little Cat Spawn.:D

One more night shot to bore you all with:

Yes she does and I have it on good authority she also has permission to fish slap as she sees fit.:D;)

LOL Peanut butter is also the best food to give pills. I used to use string cheese but Hale got adept at eating the cheese and spitting out the pills.

[sevillafox]

Wait, CAT, did I misread or did maid marian and her promised break up?

[cfpackerfan]

Night Jim! Enjoy your book. :)

[cfpackerfan]

You read that correctly. Marian is single. It was an amicable break, and they remain friends.

[cfpackerfan]

Random observation:

When you've known someone for awhile, but recently have become 'friends' enough for them to ask to be your friend on facebook, and you accept...it's interesting to scroll back to see if they posted about incidents in the past where you had contact with them.
Not always good stuff. :lol: Interesting though.

Makes you want to comment, but at the same time, why bring up stuff that happened months ago?

[theague]

Not sure if you guys saw these photos yet. Some may not want to see them as they are aerial shots of 9/11 that were apparently previously unreleased.

Need to get some sleep, so it is goodnight to all of you.

Wow, looks like fun to drive out in.

I really really really REALLY don't understand some people. :?

We posted an ad on Craigslist for the dogs at the shelter, and someone responded with this:



GAA!!!

Their animals ran away, and they blame the shelter?

The dogs are all there because they bark?

GAAAA.

I really do hate people sometimes.

people are either A) stupid or B) stirring up trouble.

:-| Be careful. That is a direct order.

I will second that - or try a kindergardener who does not want to do his homework

Problem with that is that she'd get one whiff of our climate here and never leave. That happens to a lot of people. :confused:

She can come here if she wants. We have an Albertson's about a mile and a half from here.

[cfpackerfan]

Marian didn't want her kindergarten photo on her announcement, so I made a few different ones for her to look at.
She likes this one, though I still have to work on the writing. (Don't like the font or the format of the wording).
