So Em.....I presume they didn't bring a ballcock today either?......

Bah! Nope, no ballcocks. But there are SIX big guys on my roof right now....I think they sent so many to get it done pronto, before any rain starts up. So far, so good.

Oh Magic Moderators - please tell me that you wouldn't vote in as a moderator someone who responds to almost every issue by telling you that God will be there for you

MY SPELL CK ISN'T WORKING. I GET A HAND WITH A FINGER WITH THE STAR OVER IT WHEN I HIT THE ADD BUTTON. WHAT THE HELL?????

Judy! I believe that is a little miraculous sign from God, letting you know he's there for you......

[Lisa]

I thought you-all would be proud of me for not making snarky comments in other threads

I figured Ckought wouldn't want his lovely forum degenerating into a free-for-all of tangential, abstract snips.

Hey, ya'll speak for yourselves! I like snarky!

[nikki-uk]

Much mirth over the 'Mods and their magic powers'

Do you have to 'vote' newbies in???

Day 2....Kitty Boris still vomiting - he can't seem to hold water down....in fact ISN'T drinking.....I am going to resort to a small syringe to get some fluids IN .....poor liitle chap has no energy

Oh no! This does not sound good Nikki, if you can't get any water into him or he keeps throwing it up, you need to get him to the vet for an IV fluid. We had to do this with Allo once when he was young--the vet said that not drinking for 24 hours is an emergency.

The good news is that he came home later that evening looking like a camel (the fluids build up under the skin and disperse from there) and recovered completely.

Keep us posted on the wee one.

Oh Jess, I am soooooo glad you said that-- I had the same thought about that particular person in that thread!!!

Although I realized I wouldn't object if I were allowed to end every post with something like "There are no omnipotent beings spending every moment of their existence focusing on just you, so maybe you should take some time to learn to take care of yourself."

I mean, just look at Judy's flowers - omnipotent beings clearly have better things to do than sit around and listen to us whine.

Poor baby

May I suggest some watered down baby food in that syringe? Sometimes a little substance can help.

Haven't got any babyfood to hand but will get some in the morn and try ('tis evening here)

He had the tiniest bit of cooked chicken - but that came back up after a couple of mins :worriedface:

I MAY have to bite the bullet and have take him to the (weekend) vet if he doesn't pick up a bit tomorrow (KA-CHING!....Why does this always happen @ weekends???? )

[elye]

Nikki! Poor wee Barphin' Boris.....! Do keep us posted........

The less weight a creature is, the less time he can manage without fluid. I agree with Patti - - should take him to the vet tomorrow am if he hasn't consumed SOMETHING......

I believe I could manage quite a while, thank you.....

[jerseyangel]

Well, when she willingly displayed her heiny (and her bathroom) after a night of absinthe debauchery I figured she either had a great body (image) or a very poor memory...

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies we got our new lab coats at work today....Now everything has my married name on it

My cough is finally sounding better today! Yea!!!!

Dear gawwwwwd....phorgot about that....interesting....avatar.

Patti, you look FABULOUS. Don't anybody believe her. Jack told me after our great evening, "Patti is really pretty. She looks about 36. I think Mark kind of looks like her dad".

Gawd, Patti, don't tell Mark that..........

[blueeyedmanda]

Guys I am so excited...this is our week sans-baby....and we have so many phun things planned! We are going to see 1-legged Dave our old lab buddy tonight for dinner. I miss him the most from the lab, everyone hates this man, he turned out to be the best friend John and I ever made down there. Everyone told me, he will be civil to you for 1 year and then he will turn on you....well 5 years later he was at my wedding, his daughter was my flower girl....Guess I proved them wrong

Then Jen has a babysitter for the evening and she and John and I are heading to the casino. I still like Atlantic City much better than our PA casinos since there is more to do. But this is still a fun night out. I think it is nice for Jen to go out every now and again as well. Next weekend she is coming home to my moms again. We are doing the county fair and that kind of funs tuff.

Well time to head out of here. Bye Bye Sillies!

[jerseyangel]

Where is everybody??

So, I'm outside this evening, weeding and going along great guns when I pull this good-sized weed out from under a shrub......and an entire colony of ground bees come pouring out! I drop my shovel, run towards the porch, dropping my gardening gloves and waving my arms to try and keep the bees away (quite a sight, I'm sure )

Luckily, I only got one sting--the little sucker stung me right through my jeans! It still hurts a little

[elye]

Mygawd, Patti! Ground bees? Lord, I've never heard of such creatures.

Like land sharks?

Thank goodness you only got away with one sting!

[jerseyangel]

Thank goodness you only got away with one sting!

Yeah, it was a close one, but I think I'll live

Did they get yer roof finished?

[Judyin Philly]

Amanda......have a great weekend.

Patti... your soooooooo lucky with only one sting. Rather you didn't get any but gosh, how scary.

do you know how to get rid of them.

Jim did this for a neighbor ........ let me know if you need help.

watch that sting, kido.

I have to say I'm enjoying the weaving, meandering conversations lately......spilling over into email and encompassing other threads.....

Then here we go .. .

No one moderator has more 'rights' than any other moderator here.

That's what they want you to think.

Heehee Jess

Here's a fun bit - a woman in the yahooceliacbayarea got her new license plate:

NOGLU10

Ground bees & land sharks & sea cows oh my!

Good luck at the casino Manda!

[jerseyangel]

That's what they want you to think.

"they"?

[psawyer]

We were at the store until 7. When we got home, I made dinner and we dined out on the deck, where we still are. I have the laptop out here on the table.

We're still struggling with staffing issues. We had a temporary person, already trained, whom we expected to stay with us until LaboUr day, but he found a better job for the rest of the summer, and today was his last. We are training a university student (local), but he won't be ready to work alone for at least a couple of weeks. So for the short term, one (or both) of us has to be there all day every day.

Nikki, the advice you have already had about Boris is good. Kittens are fragile, and dehydration is very serious.

Judy, I love your flowers.

Open Original Shared Link There are four in the Vancouver area and two in Greater Toronto. The closest one to me is the Avenue Road location, just north of Bloor, and I have not been there. I seem to be surviving with other more conveniently located stores. But I will have to visit one of these days. Maybe they will eventually come to Ottawa.

[Judyin Philly]

Gosh Peter sounds like you sure have your hands full at work.

Good luck and don't over do it

Your dinner on the deck sounds so nice.

thanks ......glad you enjoyed the flowers.
