[JustJo]

:rrose: love you baby :lips:

Psssst....this is because she doesn't want you all to know that she's a big softie who spent a couple hours visiting with a lonely older disabled lady...and then finding her a cat to keep her company...and then picking up and delivering said cat.

Yes, I'm ratting you out on this one baby...it was a very sweet thing to do. :kissy:

[chrisbutch]

Good morning all!!
Just dropping by for some coffee!!
I will try to get back in more often, i miss you guys!
Wow, life is hectic lately, but i need to get some balance back, and stay in contact with all my friends here.....don't want ye all forgetting me!! lol
Have a great day everyone!!

[Daktari]

Good morning one and all.

Tea. Need. Tea. Now

:tea: :tea: :tea:

Ahhh now that's better.

Now to prepare a pan of porridge. It's going to be a hard day helping out a friend today so the slow release energy of porridge will be necessary. I'll wager that my savoury porridge (with salt, black pepper and butter) won't be very popular though. :cheesy:

[JustJo]

:bringcoffee: Good morning :)

I see our friends from across the pond have already been on this morning! Nice to see you again Chrisbutch...we've missed you. :rrose: And Incubus....I'll take some porridge if you leave off the pepper :eating:

It's hot as blazes again here today...and had trouble sleeping again last night. Ugh. I'll be glad when this heat wave breaks and we get back to normal temperatures. Sounds funny when I'm moving to Florida...but we don't have air conditioning here and it's been in the 90s...so it's pretty sweaty and yucky around here these days! Also, no beach or pool to go splash in...which makes a lovely difference :beachkids:

:linecook: Gonna' do a cooked breakfast, cuz lunch is going to be cold sandwiches for sure! How about omelets...just tell me what you like...mine will be mushroom, onion and cheese...with hashbrowns and bacon (and some turkey bacon for Lips :) ) Fresh-squeezed orange juice maybe? And I got some lovely peaches at the store yesterday...so those can be peeled, sliced, sprinkled with a little sugar and cream over the top. :girleating:

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

And :lips: to my :alarm: baby ...

[lipstixgal]

I see Incubus is making porrige whatever that is?? Anybody have any clues??:blink::blink: Ok some fresh squeezed orange juice and wish me luck, don't know if I have computer access today or its all patients we'll have to see how it goes, see ya later. stay cool

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

It is hot as hell down here in Florida...I went swimming for two hours yesterday and I ended up with my second sunburn this summer...My makeup is going to look funny with my red shoulders, hehe...

Lisa is off today, so I am happy, I just have to run up to the school and drop off my transcripts and hopefully make an appointment to see the financial aid counselor so I get everything going for school...

Have fun all, and I am leaving plenty of cold beverages behind...

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Chris,

Hugs my friend and hope you are having a good day,

more coffee please.........:cool:

ME TOO
my nutritionist is trying to get me to cut my caffeine intake but i am not 100% on board with that lol

[lipstixgal]

what no food to go with the coffee, looks delicious will have some myself!! Well went to internship didn't do much but fold some invoices and stuff into envelopes:blink: I didn't go to school all year to stuff envelopes hopefully Friday will be better than today. The lady I work for the Jewish doctor's wife who happens to be the office manager wants everything done just right, well hell I'm just learning!! Anyway, glad to be home with the dogs missed them a lot and wish this weather would get cooler already.

[julieisafemme]

I don't really drink coffee but the cappucino looks tempting Jo. I just wanted to stop by your kitchen and say thanks for some of your words today that I read. It helps to know I am not the only one who feels that way. I will go back to my tea now. Have a lovely day and I hope it has cooled down.

Thank you so much for that :rrose: and we're glad to have you here...we have :tea: too...I promise! :)

Lips...I hope the internship gets better...how frustrating...:blink:

It's still hot, hot, hot here....how would everyone feel about a cold supper of build-your-own sub sandwiches? I can put out all the meats and cheeses, nice fresh rolls, and of course all the condiments and pickles and lettuce and tomato and such.

My homemade potato salad is yummy, plus cole slaw, tomato-cucumber salad in a nice vinagrette....fesh frruit salad for dessert.... :eating:

:lips: baby...and drive safe tonight.... :stillheart:

How hot is it up by you tonight? It's 100 degrees here in NJ, thats northern NJ to be exact!! Could go for some iced latte, maybe DD would be great gotta see!!

Good Evening Everyone,

I am adding some fresh lettuce, croutons, dried cranberries, shredded cheese and salad dressing to Jo Jo's delicious sandwiches...A turkey with Swiss cheese sub sounds delicious and thank you!!!

Lipstix, you should try Starbuck's Light Mocha Frappuccino, it has 150 calories for a medium and is very refreshing...kinda like a chocolate milkshake....but with coffee...Hehe..

Hope you all had a good day and to Jo Jo, Lipstix and anyone else living up in the North, keep cool.....Hopefully the heatwave you all are having goes bye bye soon...

Thanks Zimmy yeah hell its hot, went to the diner for breakfast instead of something like Jenny Craig for a change. I will try Starbuck's Light Mocha Frappuccino, sounds yummy!! Just gonna watch TV tonight and get some rest had a boring ass day at the internship site:blink::blink: Anyway will look into Starbuck's do you have them in Florida?? How about Dunkin Donuts. The lady at the internship site wouldn't let me drink my iced tea today I had to throw it away, what a bitch for sure

[lipstixgal]

Gosh wish I could sleep I'm tired but my body won't respond to my sleep needs. Maybe too much diet cola today? Don't know maybe the heat,dogs are all tucked in, trying to bring it down BFP!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Lipstix,

I always hit the DD on my way home from my mom's house. I love their French Vanilla iced coffee with nonfat milk. Starbucks was my friend in Orlando...After working 12 hour days, I had one cup to start my day and one half way through my work day. My fave drink from them is, the Vanilla Latte, iced and hot, with nonfat milk...I just bought their Italian Roast coffee to brew at home, and it isn't as strong as the French Roast but very good. Living in Orlando for over 7 years, I could always find a Starbucks, but here in Palm Coast, there are only two. One is in a SuperTarget and the other one is an actual store, which is about ten miles from my house...

Have fun today and try to keep cool,

Zimmy

Good morning Everyone,

Sending plenty of ice water to our friends in the North....Breakfast, will be light and refreshing. I am thinking of waffles, toast, iced coffee, iced tea, soda's, juice and milk and fresh fruit to go on the waffles. That should be just enough to make us happy without making us feel stuffed.

Have a good day all and I am going to find a good song to slowly wake us up...

Zimmy

For all of us 80's music lovers on here, enjoy...This is the Cover Girls and their hit, Because of You...dedicated to the heat wave that is making all of us hate the summer, hehe..

mawning Kitchen dwellers.... :rrose:

scoopin up some fresh fruit and heading to my truck...... have a good day alll.

[JustJo]

:bringcoffee: Good morning everyone :)

Thank you for the tunes and the breakfast Zimmy :girleating: ...waffles and fresh fruit sounds like just the right idea.

Morningstar, I hope the AC is working well in that truck of yours...cuz it's gonna be another scorcher.

I had all the windows wide open all night with fans in a few to draw in as much cool night air as possible...then got up at 6 right as the temperature was starting to climb and closed them all, dropped the blinds, drew the drapes and tried to pretty much seal the cool air in here. :giggle: So far, so good...it's already toasty outside but we're holding steady at 77 downstairs. I'm crossing fingers it stays down there awhile. Luckily this heat wave is supposed to break for us tomorrow with thunderstorms and the temp about 10 degrees cooler. I'll be glad to see it :cheesy:

:lips: :stillheart: My sweetie is still :alarm: ...off with the Prince for a couple days to see his girlfriend. Hope they have fun (but not too much fun for them baby...keep an eye on that! :police: )

Hope you all have a great day...and stay cool! :rrose:

[lipstixgal]

Good MOrning everyone!! Seems still humid here, just put on some laundry to do. Have to go store for dishwashing liquid for dishwasher and biscuits for the dogs...don't really feel up to do anything..to tired and bored from yesterday and I have a class tonight I do hope they don't keep us until 9:40pm I need my sleep, will bring yogurt and pills if necessary to get me sleepy. I want an Iced coffee from DD. Jo put those air conditioners in if you have em!! Everybody have a great day!!

It's hard changing therapists isn't it my last therapist was fired so I got a new therapist and she is spanish speaking so there is an accent involved. It's a little hard to understand her!!

i am not sure yet if i am changing or not...the new one is kink-aware and specializes in GLBT, but considered "out of network "by Blue Cross :(

the old one might be "out of network," too. First six sessions covered by EAP program, not sure what will happen now

so far my insurance has been staggeringly unhelpful with this!

[JustJo]

Wayyyy too hot to cook my friends :)

I'm ordering chinese food...the Rooster has put in his vote for sweet & sour chicken, sauteed veggies and fried rice. I'm thinking some sesame chicken too, and an eggroll. Anyone want to add to the order? :eating:

i TOTALLY want sesame chicken...we are taking my Dad out for his birthday on Sunday- he "hasn't decided" where he wants to eat yet but i am trying to ESP a Chines efood craving at him right now!

[lipstixgal]

Yeah Jo it was way to hot to cook today!! Had my Jenny craig but it was hot!! Tomorrow is suppose to be better. DC I understand about the GLBT thing and the kink thing too. Its important that the therapist knows and is aware about these isssues. Thank G-D my therapist is GLBT friendly or I would be looking for a new therapist!!As far as insurance goes that's a whole another story..make sure you are covered otherwise you are responsible for the payment!!

Wow the oral communication class is going to be a bitch a speech in two weeks then one every weeks. First one is suppose to be 3-4 minutes long and its about yourself. Does anybody think I should out myself?? Like say well I'm a lesbian or gay and indulge in the butch-femme lifestyle? Please I need feedback on what to do or should I stay in the closet and pretend I'm straight which everyone does already!! I don't know what to do!!:blink::|

[scootebaby]

[Zimmeh]

Heya Lipstix,

I would say feel the class out and then make the decision about whether or not to come out. I know at DeVry, most of the school body was gay, there were some of them that were still in the closet, but I didn't care...

Have fun tonight,

Zimmy

And Good morning to all of the other kitchen dwellers :bringcoffee:

I'm glad it's Friday...and even more glad that a storm is coming in and will break up this heat we've been having...I can see the grey sky and feel the cool, rain-on-the-way air :cheesy:

:linecook: Anyone ready for breakfast? I'm thinking it's a steak and egg kind of morning...cooked to order. I like my steak medium and eggs over medium...and some nice crunchy sourdough toast to soak up the yolks. :girleating:

Can't be all unhealthy though...so there's a platter of fresh pineapple and cantaloupe slices as well. Enjoy!

:lips: baby..... :alarm: I love you. :stillheart:

i would come out...but i have a history of letting the chips fall where they may...i also like to be really offhand about it and refer to it casually with an air of having expected people to already know. People who would not normally be all that cool about it find themselves behaving as if they were cool about it just because i so totally seem to assume they will...can be funny esp. in the hotbed of religious right republicanism in which i live

am i the only perv in here or does everyone else just have enough adulthoodness in them NOT to bring attentiont to it?? i bout choked on my coke when i read it--granted i visualize a lot of what i read sooooooooooo :freak:

Afternoon!

Stopping in to see if anyone else like to still perculate their coffee? Getting the why do you use that ancient thing?

:blink:

Also, wishing all a great day!

[lipstixgal]

Most kind of you m'dear...I'm still guzzling tea and feeling decidedly gippy (Brit speak for rather nauseous). I hope you have a marvellous Friday.


Incubus your nauseous do you know what kind of tea is good for that, peppermint will settle your stomach and so will pepto bismol as well.

WEll, good afternoon to all the kitchen dwellers!! had that lousy internship site again. all I did was look over documents that were previously scanned int the computer in patient's files and make sure that they were there, HOW BORING!! I think I am going to complain about this site to the school. I need to be able to do vitals and such which is what I learned!! Not a happy camper at all tonigh and dead tired!! My eyes are bleary from looking into that screen all day. I hate being a medical assistant for sure. Nursing school here I come!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon AtLast,

My old roommate in Orlando still has one and I had to make coffee in it one day and I liked it.

Hope you are having a good Friday,

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I had to take my youngest niece to school this morning and came back home around noon. I finally had my first cup of coffee around that time.

I am thinking another cup is in order to keep me awake.

Hope you all are having a good day,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Incubus,

Try eating some crackers. That will help the nausea.

Get to feeling better!!

Zimmy


Most kind of you m'dear...I'm still guzzling tea and feeling decidedly gippy (Brit speak for rather nauseous). I hope you have a marvellous Friday.

[lipstixgal]

Yeah Zimmy crackers will do it for the nausea. Well just heated up some pizza too tired to do anything else. thinking I need that extra cup of coffee. funny thing this doctor's office doesn't have coffee at ALL!!:blink:You would think that the doctors in teh office would want some coffee to drink but NO. I'm bringing coffee in on Monday morning with me I don't care what that lady says!! Just waiting fo the pizza to cool off and putting on my short pants to cool off!! What is everybody else doing tonight?? Any plans? My eyes feel like this:glasses:with my glasses on!!

[dark_crystal]

Afternoon!

Stopping in to see if anyone else like to still perculate their coffee? Getting the why do you use that ancient thing?

:blink:

Also, wishing all a great day!

drip coffee is considered an inferior method- next to the french press coffee connossieurs like percolators best...it's not ancient, it's classic!

[JustJo]

And you call me a freak? Geesh baby... gettin' all excited over a typo :lips:

Good evening everyone...soooooo glad it's Friday.

I'm pooped...but luckily it's cooling off so I don't mind making dinner. The Rooster requested meatloaf, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, corn on the cob and steamed broccoli. (He loves broccoli...seriously). :eating:

Dessert? Hmmmmm....any requests? I know my sweetie would vote for something chocolate for sure...

Welcome AtLast :rrose: ....your percolator question made me smile.

Way back about 100 years ago I was bartending at a tiny, rough little bar in the middle of Wyoming. Lots of ranchers, some miners....tough place. I'd start work about 5 p.m. and first thing I did was to put an ancient percolator on, no matter the weather. Seems a couple of the old ranchers had land spread all over the place...and they'd stop at the bar on the way to do their last drive around before heading home. Several would order "a cup, a cow and a calf." :cigar2:

The cup....percolated coffee, so strong you poured it out and cut it off.
The cow...a fifth of whatever they drank (usually Jack Daniels).
The calf...a pint of the same...that was for the drive home.
Yea...they were some tough guys...and I'd hate to see their livers. :blink:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hi Everyone,

TGIF! I am just drained. It has been a week. I hope everyone is doing well. It feels like a sauna here. (w) All of my flowers are drooping. And now we have water restrictions. No more watering the lawn, or flowers...crap.

[Daktari]

Incubus your nauseous do you know what kind of tea is good for that, peppermint will settle your stomach and so will pepto bismol as well.

WEll, good afternoon to all the kitchen dwellers!! had that lousy internship site again. all I did was look over documents that were previously scanned int the computer in patient's files and make sure that they were there, HOW BORING!! I think I am going to complain about this site to the school. I need to be able to do vitals and such which is what I learned!! Not a happy camper at all tonigh and dead tired!! My eyes are bleary from looking into that screen all day. I hate being a medical assistant for sure. Nursing school here I come!!

Sadly lipstixgal I can't think of anything worse than peppermint tea or chamomile, fruits of any sorts as tea are a no-no too in my book. Thanks for the suggestion though! ;)

I hope your placement improves and becomes more interesting for you soon.

Good Afternoon Incubus,

Try eating some crackers. That will help the nausea.

Get to feeling better!!

Zimmy

Thank-you ZimmygLrL I do feel a trifle better now. Crackers? Like Jacob's cream crackers??

Hola Kitcheneers, it's late evening for me and I've had a great time catching up with my best mate Tinkerbell after being away at Mrs.Incubus' place for a couple of weeks. I hope everyone has had and is still enjoying a frolicsome Friday. :thumbsup:

Oh Incubus thank you but I think I am going to have to change the site. so sad for them because I'm good at what I do!! To bad about the peppermint tea it really works!! Too tired to do anything at all, can't barely keep my:glasses: eyes open. Can't wait till dark so I can go to sleep for the night!!

[lipstixgal]

am i the only perv in here or does everyone else just have enough adulthoodness in them NOT to bring attentiont to it?? i bout choked on my coke when i read it--granted i visualize a lot of what i read sooooooooooo :freak:

Scoote what was the word you almost choked on the word "tit" I didn't even realize it until you said something about it. I guess I need better glasses:glasses: but my eyes are in very bad shape!!

[scootebaby]

howdy kitcheneers...doing a quick drive by.........honey i TOLD you that you would rub off on me...theres ur proof (altho the thought of a tit dipped in guac is kinda funny--at least in my minds eye)

anyway spent the day in the gulf--shark teeth and shell hunting...i sprayed my kid but figured since i already burnt once and was now tan would be no big deal......uhhhh wrong! i am red as a lobster! but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!

so now we are heading to his g/fs to watch a movie and order pizza(ugh)


have a good night everyone\

[Zimmeh]

Welcome to the thread Andrew!!! I can Fed Ex you some iced coffee if you like or some sweet iced tea?

Our heatwave here in Florida has kicked back up and the heat is getting unbearable, even for me....

Anyone have any suggestions on how to take out an itch from a sunburn? It is on my back, just below my shoulders, and I cannot reach it..

Have a good night everyone, I am off to La La Land...

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Heya Jo Jo,

I still have some homemade brownies and coffee ice cream if you would like some?? I made the brownies with an extra egg, so they are like cake brownies and very addicting, hehe...Have you ever heard of something called Chewy Cake? My stepdad's grandma always makes it, and she finally gave me the recipe. My roommate nearly took the whole Tupperware container to work with her....

Hope you are having a good night and keeping cool,

Zimmy

And you call me a freak? Geesh baby... gettin' all excited over a typo :lips:

Good evening everyone...soooooo glad it's Friday.

I'm pooped...but luckily it's cooling off so I don't mind making dinner. The Rooster requested meatloaf, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, corn on the cob and steamed broccoli. (He loves broccoli...seriously). :eating:

Dessert? Hmmmmm....any requests? I know my sweetie would vote for something chocolate for sure...

Welcome AtLast :rrose: ....your percolator question made me smile.

Way back about 100 years ago I was bartending at a tiny, rough little bar in the middle of Wyoming. Lots of ranchers, some miners....tough place. I'd start work about 5 p.m. and first thing I did was to put an ancient percolator on, no matter the weather. Seems a couple of the old ranchers had land spread all over the place...and they'd stop at the bar on the way to do their last drive around before heading home. Several would order "a cup, a cow and a calf." :cigar2:

The cup....percolated coffee, so strong you poured it out and cut it off.
The cow...a fifth of whatever they drank (usually Jack Daniels).
The calf...a pint of the same...that was for the drive home.
Yea...they were some tough guys...and I'd hate to see their livers. :blink:

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening/Early Morning Incubus,

Your welcome...I would say like a regular cracker, no cream in it. We call them Saltine crackers over here or see if you can find some Soda crackers. They are plain so they won't hurt your stomach. When was I sick in April of last year, the only thing I could eat was oyster crackers, water and oatmeal cereal.

Good to read that you are feeling a little bit better,

Zimmy

Thank you Zimmy...I will look out for some plain crackers when I next go to the supermarket. Sadly my tummy is playing silly beggars again today so I've had porridge for breakfast which seems to have helped.

Good day Kitcheneers, I hope everyone has fun plans for their weekend. Today's plan here involve a friends birthday celebration, Sparkle weekend on Canal Street in Manchester http://www.sparkle.org.uk/ and curry at Akbar's. All in all it should be a marvellous day.

*leaves the large pot of porridge bubbling gently for those that would care to partake.*

[Mrs. Strutt]

Good morning, lovely kitchen dwellers...it has been a while since I stopped in, so I hope you all have been doing well.

The Strutt family is officially on vacation and we are getting ready to depart for Orlando for a couple of days, then up to Citrus county to see my parents. Love me some vacation time! :cheer:

Mr. Strutt is mowing the lawn and Princess Katie is still asleep, but when hy is done, we are heading to our favorite St. Pete diner for the most awesome breakfast in St. Petersburg :eating:, then I need to come home and get some things done before we leave tomorrow...including giving Mr. Strutt a :buzz cut:

Have a grand and glorious weekend! (f)

[JustJo]

Good morning kitchen dwellers :) and welcome Andrew :rrose:

:bringcoffee: I have a fresh blueberry coffeecake just coming out of the oven...smells wonderful...

:linecook: Breakfast this morning is the aforementioned coffeecake, plus eggs cooked to order, bacon, crisp hashbrowns...and some fresh melon...cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon....mmmmmm. :girleating:

Enjoy your vacation Mrs. Strutt! :)

Incubus...my son is rather prone to tummy troubles (it runs in the family)...and we swear by the BRAT diet when he's having issues. That's Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast....some of the easiest things to digest. Hope you start feeling better soon. :rrose:

Hope everyone is having a nice leisurely Saturday morning :)
:lips: to my baby...

[lipstixgal]

good Morning Kitchen dwellers!! The blueberry coffeecake sounds wonderful!! Never did get to make those scones oh well don't really need them. Well its a gray Shabbat morning to all those celebrating the sabbath. Me still in pj's don't know what to do?? Gonna try and rest for a while longer. Welcome Andrew to the kitchen!!

[Mitmo01]

Hello Kitchen Folk I thought i would stop in to say hello and to let all of you in on a little secret i learned a long time ago for nausea....

If you take a piece of Ginger Root and cut some up and steep it in some water, you will have a nice ginger tea that will help settle your stomach quite nicely...

also wanted to let folks know that Catnip has a practical purpose for humans as well as kitties....Catnip is a natural muscle relaxant....so if you take a bit of your kitty's nip and steep it in some water..you will have a nice tea that will get rid of cramps..etc...I have used both and can attest to the miracle wonders of these natural remedies....

Hmm have some delcious Kosher Burekas in the oven, don't really know what they are but they look good. little triangles of cheese and dough with sesame on them. I hope they turn out alright I'm really hungry, maybe make a little coffee to go with huh?

[lipstixgal]

WEll the dogs liked the burekas I thought they were going to be sweet but they are not. They really have no flavor but cheese!! Tried em out on the dogs first to see if they will eat em, they did so I tried one. Would have rather had a croissant with butter and jam from DD..Gosh its so fucking boring here in NJ wish there was a beach nearby so I could go swim or do something. Someone from my class is suppose to call and we are suppose to study but its 2:37pm I'm not going out tonight no way if anything I'll go to a gay bar to have a drink!! Anyway, stay cool everyone!! see ya later

[lipstixgal]

WEll had a nice day after all took the dogs to the dog park and talked to a nice lady who had a pug dog!! The dogs had a blast and it was fun seeing them frolic in the park. Even my older dog was playing with all the kids in the park and the ball. What is everyone doing tonight on a Sat nite?? Anybody??

Wotcha Kitcheneers

It's very late for me - 12.40am - and I've just arrived back home and changed into my scruffs after helping a good friend celebrate hys birthday in Manchester. Sparkle weekend was wonderful and everyone had such a fantastic time. Big up to Dutchy-boi who's birthday it was and who had the very good grace to walk me to the train station - quite un-necessarily but it was nice anyway.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend

Manchester is the North West lips, but just about South of where I am in Blackpool. We do have really quite a good public transport system here dependent on where you live. I have it good here. Good job really because I'm not a driver - I;m all for green cycling power but Mancs. is just a little too far to cycle nowadays (once upon a time it was easy!) :sunglass:
How goes your weekend lips?

[Leigh]

I just wanted to say good evening to everyone :)

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

Just dashing in for a minute...my sweetie just got home and I've barely had any time with her the last few days, so I'm going to soak up some (virtual) love. I'll be back! :)

[Leigh]

Enjoy it Jo, and say hi to My bro for Me :)

[durrrrrrrr]

um, what happens if i dont drink coffee? can i still visit here??

[Leigh]

Well if it isn't a stranger!!

I'll be darned ~ Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :D

Sure your welcome here, I'm not a coffee drinker either but I'm still here :lol2:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

My oldest niece is staying with me until tomorrow morning. Her brother likes to pick on her, so I brought her home with me lastnight. She had a hot chocolate party with me and my roommate lastnight, and then she came in my room and fell asleep.

For breakfast today, we are going to have cinnamon rolls, coffee, juice, tea, milk, and soda's.

I am off to run away and hopefully go back to sleep...Have fun!

Zimmy

[RockOn]

Zimmy, aren't those hot chocolate party hang-overs just the worst? I remember an especially rough one I had in '07, took me three days and a fourth of a bottle of aspirin to recover.

:tease:

Just kidding around. That is very sweet that you and your roommate participated in a hot chocolate party for your niece. :)

[morningstar55]

good morning kitchen dwellers... [_]D hope you all slept well and are having a great weekend so far.

:linecook: Breakfast is on...waffles, fresh strawberry topping and real whipped cream (cuz it is Sunday, after all)...eggs cooked to order, bacon and sausage, and a fresh fruit salad. :eating:

I had a nice sleep-in, something that rarely happens, so I'm feeling good today and ready to tackle more packing. :)

Hope you all have a great day. :rrose:

Good MOrning all kitcheners!! It's a late start for me too. Slept in late with the dogs, took them to the dog park yesterday I think they are beat!! Zimmy sounds like a nice cup o hot chocolate you got there. JO waffles are just what I wanted this morning with strawberries and whipped cream. Had an awesome dessert from Whole Foods in Paramus, NJ, they have a dessert bar I couldn't believe my eyes!! Wow I was in heaven. Anyway suffice it to say I had the chocolate cake with whipped cream on top and it was good. I also had the lamb kebab with hummus and tahini dressing (sp?). Have much homework to do today if I ever wake up?:seeingstars:

[morningstar55]

Finally gave in and had that second pot of coffee oh so good!! could use a little chocolate too!!:chocolate::chocolate:

[lipstixgal]

gettting ready for dinner soon and ready for that god damn internship where I do nothing!! Hope everyone's day was productive and eventful. Never made it to the city too tired to go to a butch-femme social, so sad :( could have used a drink for real!!

[JustJo]

Good evening all :)

It's :bbq: for dinner tonight...london broil, chicken kabobs with onion, peppers and cherry tomato...corn on the cob...potato salad....mmmmmm :girleating:

Okay kitchen friends...big request here...

I just got an email from the realtor saying the bank just did their appraisal, which means the paperwork is now finally on the correct desk and moving forward...so I could use all your good energy, prayers, white light...whatever ya got! :rrose: We're hoping to get approval of our offer and a successful closing, so I can get moved down to my sweetie. :cheesy:

Hope you've all had a wonderful Sunday. My mother called this morning and wanted to take me to lunch...so we hit the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's, did some shopping, then finished hauling wood out of my basement and up to the curb (that's how I recycle :) ). Time to sit and relax a little now.

:lips: baby :stillheart:

Oh that's great Jo I wish you the best of luck and I will say my prayers that you get the house and be able to move. I know that you really want to do that!! What's the wood for?? the fireplace? You have to recycle it?? have a nice bbq and enjoy yourself tonight!!:

Thanks Lips! :)

The wood was lumber and leftover molding from my office renovation. I had piled it all in the basement rather than hauling it out into the snow, and it had been sitting there ever since. :seeingstars:

I live on a busy street, and I have found that I can put virtually anything out at the curb and someone will stop and pick it up. I think of it as the ultimate recycling....out of my way and into the hands of someone who can use it. :)

[lipstixgal]

OH so you can put anything on the street and someone will pick it up that's nice to know!! I'm going to watch some tv and then its bedtime for me..been very tired lately and don't know what it is attributed to? I guess being on 1200 calories a day for so long takes a toll on the body or its school for a year that has been intense but all I know is that its bedtime early for me.

[durrrrrrrr]

Well if it isn't a stranger!!

Good Morning all kitchneers!! What's for breakfast, how about since its hot some warm oatmeal with fresh fruit, sliced berries and bananas. Muffins and croissants as ususal and strong coffee and tea. Have internship this morning UGH!! and school tomorrow so a busy week for me. It will be like this for the next 10 weeks!!:byebye:

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Coffee and tea are on....and thank you for the breakfast goodies Lips :rrose:

I am trying to be productive today...going to get all caught up on work, and already have the garbage out to the curb (a bit early but if I wait until tonight I may forget), got laundry going and dug out some rubbermaid tubs so I can pack a few more kitchen things.

Getting the woodpile out of the basement (which probably upset various spiders and other creepy crawlies I'd rather not think about) has made it much more cleared out down there, and I bagged up another bagful of junk and dragged it out to the curb as well. Bit by bit, I'm getting there. It's amazing how much stuff accumulates in 9 years...

Hope you all have a great day :rrose: and :lips: to you sweetie...I hope yours turns out better than the start has been :stillheart:

Hope you all have a great day :rrose: and :lips: to you sweetie...I hope yours turns out better than the start has been :stillheart:

Wow Jo that's great that you have done all that in such a short time. Me I just got home from that stinky internship!! All paperwork. By the time 1PM comes I ready to leave!! Here's hoping that it gets better but I don't think so, a girl in the office said that the last ten days they will let me do patients so I emailed the school about that, that is just not sitting well with me at all. Anyway, going to feed dogs and try to relax have school tomorrow and internship on WEd, Friday is the phlebotomy certification exam, still have to study for that as well.:seeingstars:

[lipstixgal]

Well Well I'm hungry and tired already..What's for dinner me feel like having some macaroni but that's all I ever have!! Maybe a shish kabob from Whole foods but don't really feel like going out!! WE shall see or maybe some popeye's chicken instead!!

[dark_crystal]

i will add you to my prayer list...and your mention of recycling just made me set my alarm a few minutes earlier so i can drop off the two bags of cans rattling around in my vehicles cargo area! Thanks!

aaaaaaaaaaaand i just realized that those cans are still back there...oops

[lipstixgal]

Hey dark Crystal how ya doin?? Did you have a good day at work?? I didn't I hate the internship place at all!!:readfineprint:

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

It was another scorcher here in Florida and I am not looking forward to August and September...I can probably cook an egg on the sidewalk during those months...

I am thinking, maybe a light dinner? How about some grilled chicken, broccoli and corn on the cob? All cooked on the grill....Maybe for dessert ice cream and pie?

Hope you all had a good day,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Jo Jo,

Congrats on getting everything put out to the curb so you don't have to bring it to Florida with you....

Hope you had a good day,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Coffee and tea are on....and thank you for the breakfast goodies Lips :rrose:

I am trying to be productive today...going to get all caught up on work, and already have the garbage out to the curb (a bit early but if I wait until tonight I may forget), got laundry going and dug out some rubbermaid tubs so I can pack a few more kitchen things.

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :) and thank you for a yummy dinner Zimmy. :rrose:

I ended up making risotto and having a glass of wine...something I rarely do, but it just felt like the evening for it. I'm been pretty productive...more home stuff than work, but some of the work stuff too. Seems like there's always more to clear out...

Don't feel bad Darkcrystal...I've had a couple boxes of old paperwork that needs to be shredded riding around in my trunk for about 3 weeks now. :giggle: If I wasn't feeling pooped I'd go get it and shred while I relax and watch TV....maybe....we'll see :)

Hope that internship starts going better Lips. I know a lot of places use interns for all the mundane tasks that the staff wants to get out of doing...not the point of the internship since you don't learn much that way....but it's pretty common I'm afraid.

It occurred to me that I never posted the risotto recipe for you Lips...sorry about that! Do you still want it?

Hope you're all relaxing and have your feet up. :)

:lips: baby...

Thanks JO the internship really sucks and yeah I'm doing things that the regular staff doesn't want to do or can't do and yeah its mundane!!Risotto recipe would be great I'll make it tomorrow for dinner, well I'll make it in the morning and have it for dinner!! Like today all I did was look for pre-ops of patients that were having surgery or had surgery like in 09 for example. I really want to work on patients that's what I'm trained to do..not learning anything!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Lipstix,

At my mom's house it was around 92 before the humidity kicked in. It was hot enough to where, my mother and I were sitting on her screened in back porch sweating...I came home and put a tank top on.

I would definately say something to the college about this internship.

Hope you are having a good night,

Zimmy

Hey dark Crystal how ya doin?? Did you have a good day at work?? I didn't I hate the internship place at all!!:readfineprint:

so sorry your internship is lame! you should report the site to the school...when i have interns i am totally not allowed to give them grunt work- they are there to have the librarian's experience, not a clerk's!

and this librarian had a great day lol- my boss was on vacation all last week so it took her the whole day just to catch up on her e-mail...i left at 2 for a dr. appt so i never saw her!

(not that i don't love her and secretly crush on her a lil, but she does have a way of trailing extra work behind her whenever she visits my department!)

[Zimmeh]

Jo Jo,

Can I have the Rosotto recipe to? I have a recipe for Chewy Cake, which my step dad's grandmother gave me....If you like cake, this is addicting...I made it for the kids, and they nearly ate me out of house and home, hehe...

Thank you!!!!!!

K here you go....

There's about a zillion ways to make risotto because you can customize it however you want, but I'll give you the basics and you can play with it.

In a saucepan, bring to a simmer 1 quart of stock (can be beef, chicken, veggie...whatever you want. I just buy a good pre-made one at the store). Season it with salt and pepper until it tastes right to you.

As the stock is heating up, take a large, heavy-bottomed pan (with a wide base is best) and pour in a couple tablespoons of good olive oil. Then toss in up to a couple cups of whatever you want....chopped onion, garlic, zucchini, meat, mushrooms, whatever you like. Saute it around until any onions are softened and meat is browned.

Then, pour in 1 cup of arborio rice (the kind of rice is important...regular rice doesn't come out the same). Stir it around and cook until it's just barely a tiny bit browned. Then...stand back a bit....and pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (and some in a glass for the cook if you like :cheesy: ). Stir and cook until the wine is evaporated - which will be fairly quick.

Now...you'll have 2 pans going...a saucepan of simmering, seasoned stock and the wide, shallow pan of arborio rice and other "stuff". You're going to add the stock to the rice, but only a ladle or two at a time, stirring constantly. So....ladle....stir.....keep stirring....when most of that stock is absorbed, ladle in a couple more.....stir....keep stirring.....when most of that stock is absorbed, ladle in a couple more....and just keep going.

You're going to cook the rice for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly and adding just a little stock at a time, until the rice is as tender as you like, and virtually all of the stock is absorbed (and you may not use all of the stock in the pan).

Once it's cooked, you can stir in some fresh chopped herbs if you like, or a couple handfuls of fresh grated parmesan, some even like a squeeze of fresh lemon juice...all up to you.

I don't think I ever make it the same way twice, but it's always good. Tonight's had onion, garlic, zucchini, and fresh parm, cooked in chicken stock. Yum! :girleating:

So you need arborio rice to make risotto and chicken stock...do you need the wine? Oh some news about the internships of other students one girl just up and quit hers. I think I'm going to talk to the school and if necessary quit as well until they find me another internship site!! That's it I've had enough of this bullshit already. I'm so bored:readfineprint:

Wine is optional for sure. I like what it does to the risotto, but you can do without it.

If she had a better internship site, could you get hers?

I don't know she said it was kinda of ghetto and I really don't want that but the doctor was Jewish a dr. Katz and that's a Jewish name and I really don't know where the place is/was. I'm just going to talk the school tomorrow and see what they say:seeingstars:

[durrrrrrrr]

Good evening all :)

It's :bbq: for dinner tonight...london broil, chicken kabobs with onion, peppers and cherry tomato...corn on the cob...potato salad....mmmmmm :girleating:

Okay kitchen friends...big request here...

I just got an email from the realtor saying the bank just did their appraisal, which means the paperwork is now finally on the correct desk and moving forward...so I could use all your good energy, prayers, white light...whatever ya got! :rrose: We're hoping to get approval of our offer and a successful closing, so I can get moved down to my sweetie. :cheesy:

Hope you've all had a wonderful Sunday. My mother called this morning and wanted to take me to lunch...so we hit the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's, did some shopping, then finished hauling wood out of my basement and up to the curb (that's how I recycle :) ). Time to sit and relax a little now.

:lips: baby :stillheart:good luck to ya. sendin a prayer for ya.

Good morning everyone :) Looks like I'm the first one in today...

:chef2: How about if we start everyone off with a little fresh-squeezed orange juice...and, of course, the coffee is on and the kettle just boiling for those who prefer tea. :bringcoffee:

Breakfast this morning is fresh blueberry pancakes (or plain pancakes for those that prefer that....heck I can throw in banana slices if anyone prefers that too...I'm flexible like that). Also eggs cooked to order, and patty sausage....

There would be more but I have a moving company sales rep coming to give me another quote this morning.

Hope everyone has a great day!

:lips: baby...hope the meeting goes alright. :stillheart: I love you.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

Thank you for breakfast! Me and several ppl from the other site, are planning a get together for the middle of August in case you can't make the one in July. We are going to hold it in Orlando, which is the halfway point for us on the East Coast and the ppl on the West Coast.

Hope you have a good day, and the moving ppl don't try to take you for a ride,

Zimmy

Good Morning Jo and Zimmy!! Pancakes sound yummy I'll take mine with blueberries and bananas!! Just had an egg hard boiled as a snack that's all. Still hungry though. So you have to get a quote for moving stuff long distance didn't know that. Huh should look into that soon. I only have about 11 weeks then I want to be out of here too before winter sets in. I have one class today but think I'm not going allergies got the best of me this morning feeling lousy ever since. Took some allegra that helped but very tired. Need to speak to the school about the internship and all...UGH see you guys later.

[lipstixgal]

Well just got off the phone from the school and Ms. Gloster said that the first couple of weeks is paperwork she said that you have to know the front office first before you cold learn the back office. Ugh well I'm going in at 10 am tomorrow not feeling well and need the sleep!! Just staying until 3 pm if that is the case, they can go kiss my white ass!! So I guess that I am stuck with that office :blink::blink:

[dark_crystal]

evenin everyone. just wanted to drop by and say howdy. its been a long day and i am ready to crash.

Howdy from Texas Mr. Durrrrrrrr

Breakfast this morning is fresh blueberry pancakes (or plain pancakes for those that prefer that....heck I can throw in banana slices if anyone prefers that too...

it is crazy how much i love bananas...to me they are a total indulgence b/c the calorie count is so much higher than other fruits

[lipstixgal]

Wow the people at the USPS are really stupid, I am still getting mail from the tenant that I used to have its been going on for 3 three months since May or maybe June!! Just spoke to them again in the Hasbrouck Hts, office and spoke to a clerk about it and all she said was that she was a clerk, well Duh do your job!! God dAmn it!! Need coffee or tea where is that damn avatar when you need it!!:tea::confused:

[lipstixgal]

WEll its evening and had dinner already and my snack, I'm tired very tired. I did some research about Phoenix, Arizona, apartments, townhomes etc. I don't know what to do as of yet I have to take a trip out there and look around a bit. I guess I need a realtor and a car. WEll it will have to wait until school is out which is in September and after the high holy holidays are over, well can't miss those!! What kind of A Jew would I be!! Anyway, it rained here today so sad :( don't like rain one bit want sun and warmth, need it for my artificial knee it pains me when it rains!!

[lipstixgal]

Good Morning Kitcheneers!! What should we have for breakfast?

How about some steak and eggs cooked to order, hash browns, turkey bacon, moringstar sausage and all the fixins for breakfast.

Strong tea and coffee:bringcoffee: for those who need it. Well no internship for me today car has to have a new brake switch put in whenever I get it there HeHe!! Gotta call em though:hamactor: and let them know I won't be in today or Friday its our phlebotomy exam!!

[RockOn]

Good morning, lipstixgal,

Breakfast sounds wonderful - especially the steak and eggs! I certainly could use a cup of that strong coffee too.

*grabs some coffee and starts helping lipstix with the meal preparation*

Yum! I am starving this morning - only had a home made milkshake and cornflakes for dinner last night. I think I could eat two steaks and half a dozen eggs for starters. LOL!

lipstixgal, I will remind you to put in that call about your car around 8:00 - they should be open by then. For your safety, you need to get that repaired.

Happy Wednesday! :)
Brock

[JustJo]

:bringcoffee: Good morning everyone :)

I brought my big cup for coffee this morning...and steak and eggs sounds wonderful. I'll add some fresh pineapple (cut into one of those cute little pineapple boats with oars that my son loves), and red seedless grapes as well.

Looks like it's going to rain today...sky is grey and it's quite a bit cooler. I won't mind a bit, except that once again I probably should have mowed this weekend. :giggle: Seems to be my usual pattern!

I've been working away on the house stuff...sorting out things I want to take with me from the things I really don't need and would rather not pay to move. I've gotten rid of sooooooo much stuff it's unreal.

Lips, if you're planning on a big out-of-state move, I'd recommend calling movers now. They'll come do a walk through of your house and give you a detailed estimate for free. I'd also recommend looking at the big name, reputable companies....in my research I came across an absolute ton of horror stories with people getting ripped off. I'd rather pay a little more and actually get my stuff there. The advantage of getting the estimates also is that it can help you decide whether you want to do some pruning of stuff (like I am) or not. For example, I am a big reader and literally had 6 bookcases, each 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, stuffed with books. That costs a TON to move, because books are heavy. I decided to donate my books to a library in a poor part of town...they'll put some in circulation and sell others at their annual book sale to raise money. With the money I save from moving them, I'll get a kindle...and have less to dust. :cheesy:

Alright everyone...I better get to work. Hope you all have a great day! :byebye:

:lips: to you baby.... :love1:

Well there not paying me so I really don't have to worry about not losing my job now do I:readfineprint: i WILL look into movers on the web and big named ones at that. Thanks for the tip. Yes I want to start pruning as soon as possible want to be out of here before winter starts.

[lipstixgal]

Oh wait whats a Kindle?? :blink:

[lipstixgal]

Ok finally got through and called office about not coming in today and spoke to receptionist!! Check that is done Yipee

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

If you have an iPhone, they have an app now called iBooks that allows you to take the books with you, but without an additional device.

When I moved to Seattle, I donated clothes, shoes and purses to a church missionary and gave the rest of my stuff away. One of my old employees at the bookstore, got my tv and dvd player.

HOpe you are having a good day,

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

I am finalizing my plans to take the kids to the movies tomorrow and then to St. Augustine on Friday. I am loving my iPhone, I just found an app for St. Augustine through iTunes. No maps to carry, I have everything I need on my phone.

My mom called this morning and she found a bed for me. Woohoo, no more sleeping on a air mattress...

Have a good day,

Zimmy

Have a good night all, I am off to bed!

Zimmy

Have a great breakfast everyone when you finally surface. I'm about to go and meet my Pops at a local cafe for bacon butties.

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: I'm adding a little fresh fruit to the breakfast spread...some fresh watermelon, grapes, and strawberries. And that pile of toast is looking good today...maybe with some of that turkey sausage. :girleating: Thank you Incubus and Lips :rrose:

Gotta say again how much I love working from home...took a midafternoon break yesterday to take my son and his best friend to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Not exactly what I expected, but cute and they had fun (so did I actually...I love movies :) ) Made up for it with a little work on spreadsheets after dinner...just love having that flexibility.

Just one more day 'til Friday :cheesy: ....hope you all have a great day!

:lips: my :alarm: baby.....love you

[lipstixgal]

What's a bacon butties? Does anybody know??

[Daktari]

Well that's not Kosher for sure. but all is well I'm glad you had a nice sandwich!! As for me, the car is still not fixed yet. Fette sent the wrong part to the garage where I bring my car to get fixed. Tomorrow it will be fixed, in the mean time I have to drive with the parking lights on. OH well need groceries from grocery store. And have to do my homework.:|:blink:

Nope definitely not kosher Lips; Pops and I had a lovely lunch together as we invariably do.

I hope you've managed to do all that you needed to do today - infact that goes for everyone else too. It's the start of the evening for me and I've just poured a Leffe and now waiting for the Tour de France highlights to start.

[lipstixgal]

WEll Incubus did my homework and now relaxing watching TV won't be able to tonight have a class oral communication!!

[lipstixgal]

Well its getting late and I have to make dinner , don't know what to have..Perhaps spaghetti and meatballs, salad and mushrooms sauteed in some olive oil!! Wish I could have some bread but that's a no no!! Class tonight from 6-9 hopefully she will let us out earlier than that, see ya later!! Oh update on the car, the wrong part cam in so tomorrow it will be fixed!! Yeah can't drive without brake lights:byebye::|

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Sorry for going AWOL last night...lots going on. I won't be on late today or tomorrow until the evening either....going to granny's where there is no internet (or TV either).

Breakfast? How about some nice cheese omelets with crispy hashbrowns, and a little fresh fruit salad. :eating:

Hope you all have a great day...and, if I don't get back before then, I'll be on tomorrow night. :rrose:

:lips: baby...hope you're still :alarm: :love1:

[Daktari]

A very good morning to you Jo from me having a sunny afternoon over here.

There's been a coffee pot on the stove for a while, help yourself.

I hope you have a grand time at granny's place.

I suppose I should be chucking myself under the shower in preparation for meeting an improbably beautiful femme for coffee this afternoon - Mrs.Incubus trusts me to behave myself thankfully - to see what proposition (artistic) she has for me. :cheesy:

[Zimmeh]

Good morning everyone,

I took the kids to see Despicable Me, and my three year old niece loved it. I had a fight with my oldest brother, he didn't wouldn't let me bring my oldest niece back home with me, even though he knew my three year old niece was going to spend the night with her at my house. I ended up with my oldest niece coming home with me, and now her and my three year old niece are pulling the blankets off of each other...Crazy kids..

Hope you all have a good day, I am taking them to the beach since St. Augustine is way to expensive for someone on a budget...

Hope you and the nieces have a fantastic time at the beach today, it would be the perfect day up here to go to the beach but I don't have a car otherwise I'd take My sister somewhere (she doesn't do well with buses so thats not an option) ......... anyways, enjoy the day :)

Hey everyone, just racing through on my way out the door to Granny's house. Thanks for looking after the kitchen and each other while I'm away. :cheesy: (You all rock! :rrose: )

Leaving some :chocolate: for the late evening nibbles :)

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Braedon,

I loved it. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I would definately recommend it. I had a blast today. We ended up going to my stepdad's grandmother's pool, since it was starting to sprinkle and we stayed until 130pm and then we went to have lunch. There were three teenage boys checking out my friend's 15 year old daughter, and we couldn't stop laughing at them, they were being very obvious. I had her laughing at me on the way home, I was singing, "I Like It", by Enrique Iglesias featuring PitBull. She was ducking down in my car as I was singing...hehe...

Have fun all, tomorrow is my niece's birthday party and I still have to go find her a birthday card. I am taking all of the stuff I bought her, and putting her brother's name on it.

I also bought a bathing suit today...The first one in nearly 15 years. Thankfully, my friend's daughter was with me and my two nieces and she helped me pick it out....Thank goodness for Target...

See you all tomorrow night!!!

Zimmy

Hey Zimmy, good morning to you! How was Despicable Me? I wanna see that movie too, maybe I'll drag My friend Cindy out to see it tomorrow since she wants to hang out anyways.

Good Morning Everyone,

Anyone have any Bailey's Irish Cream I can add to my coffee?? My roommate has spoiled her little boy so bad, that he hasn't stopped crying since she left for work this morning. My nieces and nephews have never done this. He is used to sleeping in her bed with her, and since she has had the last week off, she has let him sleep in her bed all night. I am about to call her and tell her to come back and get him and take him to his grandmother's house.

I am off to go loose my mind thanks to her,

Mr. Strutt and I took Katie to Busch Gardens yesterday and she had a blast. The weather was great (hot, but no rain) and I got a bit of a sunburn, but nothing too serious. We didn't get back until 10:30 last night and my daughter passed out cold on the way home. That was one seriously tired little girl :beddybye:

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend (f)

Painkillers for a neck that has no discs left between the vertebrae and a shoulder that has large calcium deposits floating around in it. Not nice at all. :blink:

[JustJo]

Hi everyone :)

Finally home, sitting on the couch with my feet up. Sounds like everyone has been busy...hope you're taking care of yourself Incubus...that sounds very painful. :seeingstars:

Scoote is right, I have a crazy story...

My mother is terrified of bats...and lives in a big old farmhouse in the country. I woke up early this morning and went downstairs to use the bathroom...only to see a sheet wadded up along the bottom of the door and a sticky note on the door that said "Do Not Open Bat Inside."

Went to find my mother...who told me that the bat had gotten inside about 2 a.m. and she had trapped it in the bathroom and, rather than open the window and let him find his way outside, sprayed the room full of Raid bug killer. She said the bat was in the shower, laying on the floor...and was waiting until a decent hour to call the man down the road to come remove him.

I offered to take care of it for her (cuz I'm not terribly worried about bats). So...I tiptoe into the bathroom and find a tiny brown bat huddled on the floor of the shower...about as big as a mouse with wings.

I folded up a hand towel, tossed it over him and scooped it under so I didn't have to touch him...walked down the road and went to toss him into the grass. Well...he wasn't dead, and grabbed onto the towel so his wings were spread out, but he wasn't moving. I laid the towel on the grass in the shade, just in case he could make his way to a safe spot. Meanwhile, my mother is halfway up the road jumping and shrieking.

Well...at breakfast I hear the whole story...evidently there were 2 bats that got inside. One found its way out the door, but the other got trapped in the bathroom with her and she sprayed him, put the sheet and the sign on the door....and then went out and spent the rest of the night in her car...leaving my son asleep on the couch and me asleep upstairs.

Yes, that's my mama. :blink:

I went back to check on him later, and he was gone...hope she didn't poison him completely. Poor thing was probably just looking for a mosquito snack :eating:

[lipstixgal]

That's a funny story Jo and the poor bat was sprayed with raid probably just knocked him out that's all. It takes a lot of poison to kill a bat. Anyway, glad to hear you are home safe and sound!! Have a nice night

[dark_crystal]

Poor thing was probably just looking for a mosquito snack :eating:

i wish the library would allow me to wear a pair of bats dangling from my earlobes...from June to November Houston is mosquito Mecca

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,


Well four sunburns and six weeks worth of memories later, my oldest niece and nephew left around 6pm to go home with their mom. My oldest niece, Hailey, loved all of the Hello Kitty stuff I bought her. Her best present came from her dad, he bought her a digital camera. I am sad they left, but I know they will hopefully be back down at Christmas time. My ex sister in law, kept picking up my 19 month old nephew and playing with him.

I am exhausted and headed to bed,

Leaving some Abuletia hot cocoa for anyone who would like some,

Zimmy

[lipstixgal]

Good Morning KItcheneers!! Its breakfast time. It's hot so how about some warm oatmeal with fresh fruit served on the side. Bagels and croissants with butter, cream cheese and all the fixins', stong coffee and tea and sodas and spring water to cool people off!! Have a great day all!! And some nice dark chocolate too.:chocolate:

[morningstar55]

mawning kitchen dwellers... [_]D

well here i am enjoying a nice quiet sunny morning on the horsey farm in ... Yancyville,NC .....
JustJo....... that was a funny story...... lol i remember living way out in the boonies of western NY.. on the edge of a small town there.... and lived in a nice A frame home that over looked a large pond....
well we had bats that lived up in the peek of the roof....... one day found one hanging from my living room curtains.... soo i did like you... threw a towel over it and released it outside.
im not afraid of such things..... not even snakes.... but now spiders.... well thats a different story.. lol
now in the city , my mom few months ago had one in her bedroom, how it got in there is a mystery, no open windows it was feb or march i think.
soo here is my brother coming to her rescue , wearing his fire man gear.. and trying to hit this poor thing with a broom.... he did kill it . and gave it to animal control.. geezz.... i told her he should of just threw a towel over it.
and it was small as well.

[durrrrrrrr]

are you...the manager of Denny's?
nope, no manager at Denny's. You're gettin colder...lol

[durrrrrrrr]

good mornin everyone. hope y'all are doing alright.

i spent the day with the family yesterday, had a good time. while we was at a store, i took my 9 months old nephew and we went on our own and looked at tools. he was droolin when we got there. well, he drools all the time so never mind. lol.

have a good day everyone

[lipstixgal]

Well Its late mornig for me I've been up since like 6 am Yes Morningstar the story Jo told was funny, I didn't know that upstate NY had bats, that's interesting but you know that they do carry rabies which is very serious. I guess I don't know what to do if I saw a bat or had one in my house. I guess I would call the fire dept too because I would be scared to get rid of it!! lol

[Zimmeh]

Good morning Everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend. I have no plans for today, I am trying stay out of the sun.

Have fun and I am leaving iced tea for everyone,

Zimmy

[Daktari]

Good afternoon Kitcheneers

Thank-you Jo I am looking after myself and keeping myself medicated. Hopefully this flare-up will not last too long.

My housemate came home yesterday for the first time in weeks. It's been good to see her and catch up on what she's been doing. She builds straw-bale houses so it's always interesting hearing about where she's been and what she's built.

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :) (and afternoon to Incubus)

Bit of a leisurely Sunday here...the kitties had their usual can of tuna to start off Sunday morning, so there's a lot of purring and face washing going on now. They all share a plate full and are quite polite about it...just 4 little buddies when there's tuna involved! :giggle:

Lots of bats here Lips, but they're tiny...and wonderful little bug hunters. I actually like to watch them swoop around and catch all the mosquitos and such. They can get rabies, it's true...but you would see them acting strange, like flying around in the daytime if they were. My son loves bats...one evening a couple years ago we were at a friend's house for a BBQ and there were about 50 bats swooping around catching bugs as soon as it got dark. My son...about 10 at the time...went out and stood on top of their woodpile so he was up higher, and standing in the middle of the area where the bats were working. They swooped and flew all around him, coming within inches but never touching him. He was delighted. :cheesy:

I'm with you morningstar...I can deal with snakes, and bats and rodents don't bother me...but spiders (and grasshoppers...heck, bugs in general) creep me out! Not sure I'd wear bat earrings though darkcrystal :giggle:

I'll be back later....but hoping you all have a good day. :rrose:
:lips: baby...I love you :stillheart:

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good day so far. For some reason, Elijah, my friend's little boy, won't sleep in his crib. His mother isn't sure why and has been letting him sleep with her. She asked me lastnight what she should do, and I told her, that she needed to stop letting him sleep with her or she was in for a world of trouble once her second baby is born next month. She looked at me and said ok, but ended up taking him in her room. I put him in his crib for his nap today and took a shower..When I was done, he was sound asleep in it.

I am off to find some iced coffee, this sunburn is killing me.

See you all in a bit,

Zimmy

Zimmy its no good to put babies in the bed with you when they are little. Now your friend is going to have a hard time with two babies, one newborn and one a toddler, its a good thing that you put him in his crib to sleep for a nap he needs to get used to the crib!!

[durrrrrrrr]

Well Its late mornig for me I've been up since like 6 am Yes Morningstar the story Jo told was funny, I didn't know that upstate NY had bats, that's interesting but you know that they do carry rabies which is very serious. I guess I don't know what to do if I saw a bat or had one in my house. I guess I would call the fire dept too because I would be scared to get rid of it!! lolwhen i lived in Kentucky there was several bats. we use to throw items up in the air and watch em fly right towards that item to catch it. they have amazing flyin and eyesight skills

Good afternoon Kitcheneers

Thank-you Jo I am looking after myself and keeping myself medicated. Hopefully this flare-up will not last too long.

My housemate came home yesterday for the first time in weeks. It's been good to see her and catch up on what she's been doing. She builds straw-bale houses so it's always interesting hearing about where she's been and what she's built.hope ya get feelin better soon.

that would be awesome to hear, from your housemate about buildin straw-bale houses.

Good morning everyone :) (and afternoon to Incubus)

Bit of a leisurely Sunday here...the kitties had their usual can of tuna to start off Sunday morning, so there's a lot of purring and face washing going on now. They all share a plate full and are quite polite about it...just 4 little buddies when there's tuna involved! :giggle:

Lots of bats here Lips, but they're tiny...and wonderful little bug hunters. I actually like to watch them swoop around and catch all the mosquitos and such. They can get rabies, it's true...but you would see them acting strange, like flying around in the daytime if they were. My son loves bats...one evening a couple years ago we were at a friend's house for a BBQ and there were about 50 bats swooping around catching bugs as soon as it got dark. My son...about 10 at the time...went out and stood on top of their woodpile so he was up higher, and standing in the middle of the area where the bats were working. They swooped and flew all around him, coming within inches but never touching him. He was delighted. :cheesy:

I'm with you morningstar...I can deal with snakes, and bats and rodents don't bother me...but spiders (and grasshoppers...heck, bugs in general) creep me out! Not sure I'd wear bat earrings though darkcrystal :giggle:

I'll be back later....but hoping you all have a good day. :rrose:
:lips: baby...I love you :stillheart:sounds really cool about the bats flyin all around your son

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

Are we still playing "what does durrrrrrrr do for a living?" :giggle: I'm guessing...mechanic! Am I close?

It's a :bbq: evening...so chicken kabobs, potato salad, roasted corn (and yes, I am gonna dip it in melted butter) and a nice green salad.

Carvel ice cream sounds fantastic for dessert....I love their ice cream, in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. Yum! :girleating:

Hope you all had a great day. I've been working on a bit more packing and sorting, but slowly today...haven't been sleeping much and just not feeling well. In fact, I might just go make a nice cup of :tea: and see if that helps. :)

Hugs to all...and :lips: for my baby...

Carvel, you don't have Carvel it famous for their Ice Cream soft serve as a matter of fact so you don't live in Florida but visit there, you must have a nice life unlike mine. I just have a house in NJ that's it!! So a Carvel is a chain of stores that makes Ice cream cakes and sundaes and cones its great, gotta come to the Northeast to try it sometime.

Jo feel better soon. Maybe its the heat, its been really hot and yes tea will help you. SEe you guys tomorrow

Good night all.
