oh my. explaining BM is like poking a bear. it could just roll over and go back to sleep or it could rip off your head. I am fortunate. so far my siste is just concerned that I won't have a locked door or will get hurt and my boys are still in shock I am going. some do not approve but won't say anything to me about it. I support them in what they do even if I don't agree and I expect the same from them. and I do. but again I think that will change when I come home safe.

good luck with your parents Misa!

Well, they know already...I showed them some pics from internet...they think I am crazy, but support me as they see how happy this makes me :)

Sure they will be more scared now, when the time is coming, and they are concerned about the health issue, but I told them how great you all folks here are, and how the community is open and helpful...I also give them contact to my friends in Prague (who speaks English as my parents do not much), who will have all the instructions how to contact me and who will help me if anything needed and I cannot solve by myself...so I think it is settled.

I just turned on the news to hear a grizzly killed a man in Yellowstone. Yikes.

Two of dad's cats are in my basement. So far so good, they're relaxed.

I dropped my metal water bottle on my foot. Not so good. Ouch, and Genius is looking for my car keys to take me up to the clinic. He thinks he took them home.....

Long day on the telephone too. At least that's mostly done.

(CLARK sips coff', sends good wishes for Anti's foot--waves to sput, gyre, jella, Fae, Misa, VCG and all) super quick "hi' & "bye", gotta hop in the tub and get ready for the 8p-5a grind (Dolly Parton style song plays "Stumble out of bed & you stumble in the kitchen-grab myself a cup of ambition..." Had the oddest thought...what if we caculated all the electronic beverages & food we've presented and consumed in here... ...can you imagine :lol: ?? Do a simple count tally & statistics breakdown. It would be astounding, might even break some kinda of eGuiness Book of Records, :D ha!!! Have a good night all---will chat more on the flipside.

(As Cc is leaving, notices a glowing object in the corner of the pub. Walks over curiousily...it is a bulbous-shaped button that glows and fades red, has the word "GO" written on it. CLARK lowers finger down and hesitates...slowly presses index finger into the bobble...** P OOoo OF **... ... ... ... ... ..........

Hi gang!!!
boy, I head for the hills for a day of pre party work, and, miss so much fun.........and good food, but, most importantly, all of you........pout......

anyway, as promised, here's a couple of pics of the table I made, and set up.........dang, it's heavy. The log is still somewhat wet, and, 32" diameter, 10' long.


and, my Hof.....just for fun, where the party will be, or near, anyway.
*note the home made smoker/bbq near the hof.......for seared meaty goodness*

Is that lake in a caldera?

The food around here doesn't make it easy to not eat.
And eat.

That table is thick enough to be the barbecue.

YG I have said it before and I will say it again. If I can work out the extra days off, I will go up there and help you with it just for that view and the company. That is amazing. ::kicks side of house and sighs:: damn concrete city.

MyLarry would LOVE that table! Wonderful. I can't show it to him or he'll want to make one for the backyard.

I have not broken my foot, but it hurts like a mutha and is bruising beautifully. They gave me a shoe thingy to keep my foot from bending, can't wear it in the house, bugs me.

The cats are doing okay, Punkie is snuggling and I saw Trixie briefly. She's under the bed. My cats are suspicious of who is behind the closed door.

I can't sleep, do we have a drink for that?
