I have done this is the past. Sent cards or notes to unkown soldiers. Even tho it isnt quite PC Correct to do so.I have gotten to the point where i am not going to be PC.. guess thats why they call it old age or something.

Here are the cats..again all have stories. The brothers were strays and I took them to the SPCA got them fixed and had every intention of letting them back out side again..when the dog pound came by and had trapped a few strays...sooooo they are now with the rest of the group. They are so sweet and loving and love being house kitties now!
  Buster, my baby i lost him in March to FIP, he was my favorite. Tigar is hubby's cat cause HE brought him in so cant blame me for this one! He is a mess, he misses Buster I can tell.

« on: May 01, 2010, 08:32:41 AM »

Some one wanted to see our pets ...here  they are. All except the birds and one cat brat. She wouldnt hold still long enought. Thus the name Brat! All are rescues, all have sad stories, all get along for the most part. Sort of like kids...except the kids do mind once in awhile!
 The dogs- Spooky-Mama dog her children are Sissy & copper. They are Austrian Shepard and border collie. Copper is mostly chow, and a sweetie pie. He doesnt carry the chow traits. You saw Socks with Mikie and lastly Mouth! Real name Chance, but I call him mouth, American Foxhound with who knows. He Barks, barks and barks! But we love him anyway!

  Just wanted to say hello, and that I will try not to lurk as much as I have...and do some posting here.A brief history, I am a stay at home mom who cares for our special needs son who is 37 and a joy to care for...we decide and do everything for him. he is about the size of a 11 /12 yr old and just a happy kid(he is still a kid in my mind). I also have the job of caring for mom in law next door,she is 81 and in the early stages of  Alzimers...she cant remember what she had for Breakfast or who came to visit but does remember things from 40-50 years ago.
  I have a zoo of animals, cats-dogs- lovebirds...all rescues of course! I wouldnt trade any of them each is their own....if you want to ask me about Mikie, our son please feel free to do so, or anything for that matter. I know a few of you from other forums...and have just decided to contribute a bit more here.
 Hugs and Prayers,

Very well done. You sure could pass as a " Real magician'. My husband is a Magician w/ his own Magic shop and has fumbled the tricks to get a laugh. But you looked very natural. And most Magicians dont talk they let the act speak for its self. Very well done!
   Iam a member here but most of the time just lurk, and your history of the AP how it got started ..wow...brings back the memories!

Kat, you did a great job, beautiful kitties. I want one of those for my kitties. Esther asked what the curves were made of , were they PVC tubes by any chance? I think I would like to try that and cut them in half and carpet it. You should think about selling them locally, with the price of them on the internet and shipping costs, you could make a little cash, you would have to figure in your time of course. I love the style. Simple but you can tell the kitties love them.

Wow, THAT looks like my Lotus. I have two and have had nothing this year. I use Jobs tomatoe spikes, one a week. Put at least two in each one.Since they look so crappy,I haven't put any in for a few weeks now. So too much is bad in this case?

I do hope you have some photos, would love too see them again.

« on: July 23, 2007, 05:23:44 AM »

That is some serious canning. Bet those beans taste wonderful. I used to cann too. I did tomatoes and pears. Before the tree died, I canned the pears, they were a hard pear, I cooked them for a few and then canned them  by using a waterbath canner. One year I canned 119 quarts of pears and about 100 canns of tomatoes. I went to the farmers market and got the tomatoes. I feel like doing it again (the tomatoes) I use a lot and with the price of canns and all this 'tained food ' going on  maybe time to start it again.

Oh thank you,I haven't forgotten about this forum, I check in at least once or twice  a day. I had a good birthday, hubby got me up at 6:30 a m and we got our son (he is a special needs ) ready to go next door, ( hubby's parner in the Magic shop, his wife watches our son for us) and then we (Rich, hubby and me) went on cycles( Rich has a Harley, hubby has a 650 Burgman scooter, but it is a very speedy one)I have said 'this old broad ain't getting on a cycle' well can't say that anymore, cause I did! And I had a good time. We went to Lizard's thicket for breakfast and then hubby's brother & wife came up on their hondas and we all went for a long ride, thru some pretty country, saw quite a few ponds and they were loaded up w/ lilys, very pretty. Hubby took some photos w/ cell phone  and will post them for you to see. I really had a good time.
 Thanks again for the wishes,
Hugs,

Chit Chat / Anyone here from the UK ?

« on: June 20, 2007, 05:39:58 AM »

I sell Avon and I was looking for a product when I accidently can across the Avon web site in the UK. Well knock my socks off there was my favorite cologne that US Avon discontiuned but is avaible in UK. Problem is they don't ship out side the UK. Soooooo, my question is  would anyone want to get it for me and ship it to me,of course I would pay for it plus the shipping! The price is (see if I'm right) L.12.00 in UK - in US it would be $21.42- Another item is UK- L. 2.30 In US $4.11. And you all don't know me  that well BUT I would be good for it(the money) but would the shipping be sky high or  what. Some one who lives there would know. Thanks a bunch.

« on: April 13, 2007, 11:54:04 AM »

Please don't think I was slamming the  chiropractor,it sounded like I was but not. I just didnt have any good results from them, I was telling Mikey what works for me. Pills and heating pad. Grant you it may not work for you, and who knows I may one day run into a really good DR. With all the pulling and tugging of our special needs son, back pain is a way of life. Hope you feel better soon Mikey.

I Use a heating pad and have some muscle relaxers. The pad seems to work well for me. I have tried the hot/ cold and it didn't help. You are right about the  chiropractors , waste of time w/ back pain. Hope you will be feeling better soon. Take it easy too! Watch some DVD's and rest.

Chit Chat / Re: One Happy Camper...YES ?

« on: April 08, 2007, 06:17:06 AM »

Yep. That is a scooter so to speak but it can get up to 90 in no time at all. It rides like the best of the motorcycles and the price isn't that bad at all. With the gas prices going up here in SC hubby needed something better to get to work on. He is a ruael route mail carrier and he leaves his car at the Post Office and rides the bike back and forth,when the weather is bad he drives our other car. It takes him 40 minutes to get to work one way, thru some beautiful country. People where he works live in the 'country' in the sticks, one lady her drive way is  1/2 mile or long! No one around for miles....course she has around 15 dogs big dogs! She always gives hubby a gift at Christmas. He really likes this bike, the windshield can go to different heights and rear mirrors fold in so when riding it may hit on something he can fold them and then back out. He got more whistles for his buck on this one.
