Hurricane Ike is getting closer....

My son and daughter-in-law just moved to Texas. They live about 2 hours from the coast, directly in the path of Ike.

Morning all!!

Rotten hangover fron Angus' party :rolleyes:

Mygaaawd, Bev on that trampoline!! :rolleyes::o:lol:

Have recovered my newly shaven cat. They don't do the tip of the tail so he looks kinda like a cheap feather duster. He's also not nearly as fat as I thought he was. Guess I won't worry about over treating.

:lol::lol:

This cracks me up!!...he looks soo cute!!.....I've heard of cats being shaved when they are covered in matts but never 'a cut :D

SUSIE!! Tell us your gym observations!!!

Mine (observations @ the gym) would be

....there is a lady who hasn't heard of deodorant (EW)

....nor appropiate gym wear (she wears a jumper :rolleyes: )

..and that's about it...no bling or faux diamonds....but I imagine Californian gyms to be more 'showy'!! ;):lol:

Morning Sillies

Tis dawning a sunny morning and I hear it will be hot....not what I want now. I dont want hot humid days anymore, I would rather the 70's.

Landen just went home. John and I have lots of things to do today. We need to get to the store and we have these free Hershey Park passes but I am not sure if we will use them today or another weekend.

What is everyone else up to?

Good weekend morning, Sillies!

Well, we begin demolition of the existing deck today, and it will be a family affair - - all of us out there with hammers, crowbars.. . . . . perhaps ballcocks... . . . .... . gawd help us...... . .

:lol: .

I cannot believe I have not mentioned this gentleman to you all yet. .. . .perhaps there is a subconscious belief that I will not be fully believed :rolleyes::lol: , but truly, there is a very fit black guy who frequented my gym some time ago, and I haven't seen him in a while.

He would enter the weight and cardio machine area in tribal garb - - shorts that were made of a straw-like material (stringy wool, perhaps?), shreds of animal-pattern fabric around his chest and arms (like it had just been torn from a leopard carcass), and sometimes bizarre warpaint slashed across his cheeks. The mandatory athletic shoes were always in place, so I suppose he met the dress code and was never asked to change or leave. Astonishing, really......

One Saturday morning I asked him if he was using the weights that were on the floor near his bench. His response (and I am paraphrasing) was summat like this:

"Oh nabbu conii wakku akorro bo bo"....... ..... .

So, I did not get those weights.

What happened to that man?

Perhaps it was just my dad. :huh::lol:

Off to rip up decking!!

Oh Lisa--you must be so worried! Did they head north? Keep us posted on them--I'll be anxious to hear that they're safe. :)

Gawd Amanda--moi too!! :angry: It's supposed to be 92 and freakin' humid tomorrow.......

Mornin' Sillies B)

Have a great Saturday, everyone! :D

I also need to take a clandestine shot of that Tribal Gym Man, to offer proof of his existence. I haven't seen him in a while. . . .... . ...gad, someone must have gotten a pic of him with their phone. Incredible conversation piece, a photograph like that.. .. . .

He also spoke quietly to himself (hell, I guess so...... . ...who in hell else would engage in conversation wif 'im?) and sweated PROFUSELY when he lifted even rudimentary weights.

Must track down pic of him........

He was the inspiration for our Hallowe'en costumes for a big party we went to a couple of years ago. Now that I am sure I have a pic of. Will dig it up.. . . . . . .... :D

I had the same problem. I kinda think he's scamming us too. But I don't wanna be mean in case it's actually a kid who's utterly lost.

It's a tough call.... . ......but I would always play it carefully, and refrain from interjecting something that would suggest he's anything but a troubled kid, just in case that is indeed what he is....... . . . ...

there was a young woman on her cell phone the ENTIRE time she was on the elliptical machine yesterday - over 45 minutes just gabbing and gabbing......I wanted to stab her :ph34r:

:lol:

Oh I know!!!

Everywhere I go people have their (cell) phones clamped to their ear - just what is so important??

Got a call from my son a couple of hours ago. They are in the middle of the hurricane. The eye was supposed to pass about 20 miles from them. Their town was not evacuated....probably because it is so far inland. I think it"s only a category 1 at this point.They lost power. One tree came down onto their patio. A tree in the vacant lot next to his house came down on the power lines and started a fire, but the rain put it out before the fire department got there.

But one observation - aren't people with asberger's generally quite brilliant? Or is that an ignorant stereoptype?

They can be just like the general population, and can be very bright, but often have limited interests. So I can see how someone with Aspergers might not tune in to things in which they don't deem important. This guy may not have paid any attention to things related to food....until now. The Asperger kids I have met had learning disabilities, but that is just the nature of my job. Of course the ones I meet are going to have problems. I'm sure there were many I didn't know about who were not in special ed. They also can be quite brilliant in certain areas. One girl I knew wrote awesome poetry.

Ursa Major has Asperger's.

Hubby and I went garage-saleing today........I found a brand new leather jacket (needed one for motorcycle riding :P )......VERY soft leather subtly embossed with a small flower print......sales tag was from Wilson's leather...$300.....I paid $50.......He had several leather jackets.......Hubby says he's not asking where he got them :ph34r: ...........but boy do I look GOOD in that jacket!! :D

Sounds like a good garage sale fnd Lisa :D

Glad you heard from your son and that all is ok so far.

I have family in Houston and they hunkered down at home. They lost power as well as of midnight last night, and a tree snapped in the back yeard. Haven't heard an update this morning however so I am crossing my fingers there wasn't too much damage to the house.

Amanda!! Your avatar of Landen is precious, he looks like a really happy baby!

I'm still trying to recover from Angus' (Angus's? Help me English teachers!) raging birthday blow out last night.....

:lol::lol:

I have had the hardest time with that, especially since my last name ends in an "s".

possessive for Angus would be Angus's. If it were a plural proper noun, such as The Smiths, the possessive would be Smiths'.......as in The Smiths' house is for sale. More than one person with the same name endng in s would add es.....as in There were two Anguses at the party.

Okay, okay....... . . the backyard doesn't look too demolished as yet - - we got all the railing off the old deck, but none of the floor boards....and we've been doing the most vile of the work: digging four HUGE, DEEP holes in which to sink the four new supports (the new deck is going to be a little bigger than this one). True heinosity. At least it is only 20 C today. . .. any hotter, and I'd be outta there.

You should see my hands. They aren't attractive to begin with, but now they are right ugly. Horrid, chipped-down nails, bigger callouses than before.......gads. :blink:

So, I shall wait to post a pic until things look REALLy demo'ed..........

BUT........I do not have to wait to post my pic of our Hallowe'en get-ups, inspired by the tribal Weightlifter. Found one. I shall scan it post haste. If you take off Will's headdress and the beading, he looks quite a lot like this bizarre gym member........ :lol:

Leeeeesa! We need a pic of you in your biker chick jacket, please!

Glad to hear your son and family are safe! :)

Yes!! Yes!! How exciting!! English grammatical theory!!

Whoops...... . . . . ..pardon me.. . . ........ .. ... .I realize that not everyone turns onto this as I do... . ..... :lol::rolleyes:

Yes he is very happy, thanks! He's a good kid. I enjoy having him. I wont have him tonight but I have him tomorrow night, I will pick him up on my way home from the nieghbors. Sometimes it feels like child custody, he comes on the weekends and we drop him off with his mother at work in the mornings, and we sometimes have him during the week. He is a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work and it has prepared us alot for when it is our turn!

Glad to hear the update on the family members in TX...Ike caused a lot of stuff down there.

I have MSNBC on.

Latest news from Nacogdoches, TX....

Son and DIL are pretty much done with IKE. One more tree down.....missed the front of the house by a couple of feet. Residents are requested to stay home and not venture out, as most roads are impassable. Trees and power lines down everywhere. All is well.......they survived their first hurricane :P

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
