I'm glad. Now I won't be grinning at him like a fool when he's with his daughter.

$150 is about the priciest I've seen.

Wow! Allo had the same basket his whole life. Got it for him when he was a wee kitten. Still have it

Heavy rain here. Major flood watch. I just love the names of the rivers that usually flood.

The Skookumchuck is my favorite (to say, I'm not sure I've ever been there).

Sounds a little like the tossing of one's cookies

She has a loverly warm basket, but that is only one "room" in her house. She prefers her condo because it has several stories and she sleeps on the top phloor where she has a good view and can supervise us But I think her condo was designed for pigmy kittehs, not this 16 pound behemoth - we have the bottom floor filled with leftover tiles from the bathroom (no psillies, our bathroom) to act as a counterbalance so the condo does not go crashing through the french doors

Is everyone out Christmas shopping?

Getting ready to go shopping. Not happy about this

Can ya'll believe it's 2 weeks till Christmas!!!

Thanks for reminding me

I will be sending out cards to psillies.....one way I try to get into the Christmas spirit. However....my list is from 2008. I do have Patteigh and Joolz's new addresses and I've added Ra-shell. Why don't I have Judy? Anyone else? Probably should've put this out on e-mail.....anywho.

Later peeps....gotta go....shop

I'll bet you can get a decent mortgage on one o' those dear Kitteh condos.. . . ...(methinks I would probably HAVE to). . . . ..... .

Yes, exactly two weeks until Christmas.

Exactly ten days, two hours, fourteen minutes until MIL's flight hits our runway. .. . . . . .....

We and 100,000 of our closest friends were out shopping. Had to order the new cooktop. Currently, 17 F winds 20-35 mph with a windchill of 1 F and lightly snowing. Matt is camping and sleeping in a tent. Glad it's him & not me!

[Loey]

I'm not shopping, but I am in a store all day. Our store, busy selling stuff to people who are Christmas shopping for their pets or those of their phriends.

Hope you're making a lot of $$

Show went well. BE showed up in my room at 2am. Apparently I'm very welcoming to "strangers" in the middle of the night. :ph34r: I probably should work on that. Anyway. He's coming to the show tonight with his dd. Should be fun. Today I'm going to work on cleaning my house and studying for my stupid final.

Good luck on your final. I know you'll do well. Enjoy the show tonight as much as the visit from BE at 2 AM.

<phanning self due to the sheer romantic-ness of it all>

Yes, I am enjoying the romance vicariously. Love Clark more than the day we met but there's nothing like a romance in bloom!

I guess that means he's recovered from his illness. I agree. I'm glad it's not me either. I live in thermals.

Hey Shroomie! My son Jeff wants to ask you an important question. " because it's summer in NZ, what does your Santa look like? Our Santa's are too heavily dressed for your temps.". I think he's hoping Santa is wearing board shorts and a wild shirt.

I know I sent Mama Melissa's PM to you by mistake but I'd still like to se if we could all meet when I visit NJ. Not sure of the dates. We have tickets to see U2 in July so I'm guessing it will be around that time. As I mentioned it would have to be a halfway point as I'd be stranding Clark (Tony can have a friend pick him up and go out). Not even 100% sure we'll be there long enough as we have to also drive to Va. to see my brother and SIL. I hope feel better by then. Long car rides are not too pleasant right now but I'm going to remain optimistic. Hopefully the new GI will have some answers.

Definitely--I'd love to meet you! Keep me posted on your plans.

Now, a question fer PeOter--when I tried to reply to Loughie's PM after a day or two, I was told I could not reply. There was an "x" next to the conversation, and the reply button at the bottom of the message was disabled and the "can not reply" was highlighted.

Is there a "shelf life" on PM's that I'm not aware of?

Dear gawd.. . . . ..this is a gluten-free forum! The personal messages should absolutely have as long a shelf life as the gluten-free, preservative-loaded, processed and packaged foods we must buy! (currently have a bag o' bagels in the fridge that are fine after three weeks, I believe). . . . . .

No "shelf life," but you can't reply to a conversation if the party who began it has deleted it from their messages. It sounds like that has happened here.

OMG. . . . . these names are STUPENDOUS.. . . . .....they sound very like the names of First Nation landmarks (and people) up in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. . .. . ...BIL has given a number of his sled dogs names such as this - - Skagit was his prized lead dog for a few races.. .

Hey Shroomie! My son Jeff wants to ask you an important question. " because it's summer in NZ, what does your Santa look like? Our Santa's are too heavily dressed for your temps.". I think he's hoping Santa is wearing board shorts and a wild shirt.

Well, ya see, this is a country founded by the Brits (after they took it away from the Maori) and there is a certain sense of tradition to be maintained and proper decorum observed, which means that the traditional red Santa with his snowy white beard and his fat belly and his Ho's to the third power usually prevail. But you can tell Jeff that there are some rebellious Santas who still wear a Santa hat, but throw off all that other suffocating stuff, and instead of arriving on sleighs, come zipping in on surfboards - scares the heck out of some of the wee ones who think this kind of Santa will not come down chimneys and bring pressies The younger (teen) generation is in the process, it would seem of developing different Christmas traditions. We have long since abandoned the outmoded notion that you MUST have the traditional Christmas dinner at midday in sweltering heat, trying to stuff down the last of the Xmas pud. Mind you, lots of people still do this, but the more enlightened take a pique nique to the beach or a local park (that's what we are doing this year with a couple of other couples, we oldies preferring to lounge in the shade instead of bake ourselves red in the sun . But of course this option always depends on our fickle weather cooperating, otherwise it's hard to keep the food dry

Perhaps they phigure that since they don't make as much of this stuph as they do of the other stuph, that it takes us longer to eat it and therefore the bagels must be filled with enough antifreeze to last through the winter,and into the spring, opened, sitting on the shelf.... GAHH, PHrankenphood
