slow day for words, they are not forming
i had a long day, and a long night, so its
empty, words cannot be.....
i will offer a question that was given to
me today, that i had to think about before
i answered....
if you were sent to a deserted island for one year
and allowed to take only three
personal belongings what would they be?

First?
Yippee!!!!
Hmmmm...Good question Carol..
I would have to say books, my animals and bug spray!
Morning Glories!
Hi Scrishy! You got first!
Carol three things?? I will have to think about that and post later not sure yet.
Vig wonderful blog yesterday! I have to say the only two teachers who stand out in my mind were teachers that negatively impacted me and yes I remember both their names. But I did learn from them,
The man who, in Hindsight was a true sexist. He was a math teacher and ridiculed any girl who asked a question. I was miserable that year. I learned from him that no question is a stupid question, there are just stupid teachers.
The other was a my 4th grade teachers that made it her mission everyday to make sure that everyone in class knew that my hair was not combed and sometimes I was late and sometimes had the same clothes on from the day before. It took me failing math for her to call my father in for a conference. That is when she found out that my mother had passed away and I was getting myself and brother ready for school each day as Dad had to go to work.
Well boy she did a 180! I learned from her never to judge a book by it's cover and to stop and realize there may be more going on than you or I know about!
So not great teachers but I learned valuable lessons anyway.
DonnaJean: Wishing Laurie the best and saying prayers for a safe proceedure and speedy recovery!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Good morning Scirish and Lynn d
I can't believe I am up so early!
I had to throw a humungus meatloaf in the oven for a retirees luncheon today.
I also had to check my internet service to see if I needed to cancel a work order for today.
Three things eh hmmm
1.soap
2.laptop
3.pillows
Good morning Hooters!
Congrats on 1st scirish
Hmmm, 3 things?
Lipshitz

I am assuming there is no internet service or electricity on this island. If there is- I'm taking my tv and laptop- but the lipshitz is going no matter what!
Hope everyone has a pleasant day. Good moring Lynn and Mary.
Morning Goldie!
Time for me to put my "face" on, dry my hair and head out the door.
Have a great day everyone!
Happy WEdnesday!!
Good morning....
Scirish - congrats on FIRST and from yesterday - I totally agree -the things that make you go Hmmmm.

YIPPEE!!!
cpgem - oh my - at this moment - I have NO idea what I would take - the other night, "Castaway" was on tv and I watched Tom Hanks talk to "Wilson" -
I'll have to think about it..
I'm in for another exhausting day..
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
LOL at your fudge oreo cookies MEK- why do I always feel the need to munch when I watch that show? It should be the opposite! Good morning to you.
Lynn D - (((HUGS)))
Goldie - LOL at having to have your lipstick!! I can't believe you aren't taking a purse!!
:-)
Mary - i'm so glad your internet is back up!! Mr. MEK LOVES meatloaf!!!
Scirish - I agree about the bug spray!!
alright - I can't get into myspace.
and i better get my butt in gear and out the door...
GOldie - LOL - YES, I ate quite a few of those oreos!!! (during the weigh in!!)...
i, seriously, need to get serious about NOT doing that..
OH - and Bebbi - thanks for checking in - I thought about you yesterday -walking and walking and walking - that that you had just walked away!! Keep up the good work!!!
okay - now - i am REALLY out of here...
FIFTEEN
Good Morning Castaways...
CPGEM: If there was such a thing as a solar powered phone..and an infinate signal, that's one thing I'd have to have..but since, to my knowledge there isn't..
A HUGE box of matches...don't like total darkness.
Books.
Aspirin..cuz you can bet I'd get a headache!!
SCIRISH: Congrats on FIRST!!
MEK: Hope your day isn't too tiring...
GOLDIE: LOL @ you taking lip gloss...no matter what!! :)
TINKA: Thinking about you and hoping your doing better today!
Waving HI to MARY and LYNND!!
Congrats on 1st Scirish!
Good afternoon Lynn D, Mary, Goldie, Mek and Zona.
Interesting question Carol. I believe my choices would be:
(1) an endless supply of toilet paper
(2) writing paper
(3) pens
Feel better soon Tinka.
Keep walking Bebbi!
Donna Jean & Laurie Elizabeth I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
Swooping in for just a sec ... got a very busy day ahead.
I'd bring:
1. my YH
2. my dogs (they're small enough to count as one, right?)
3. a book about survival
and I'm glad I don't need to worry about those pesky feminine hygiene products anymore!
Oh, forgot to say...
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
Oh, forgot to say...
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
Happy Wednesday Owls.
Scirish, Congrats on first. Bug spray is a good idea.
I'm not sure what I'd bring, but for sure books would be on the list. Could scrapbooking supplies be lumped into one category? Probably not! I will have to think about what else I'd bring.
A big HELLO to LynnD, Mary Mich, Goldie, MEK, Zona, Shirley, Outatuune and all who land later.
I am going to be out all day again, so I hope you all have a great day. BBL
Hmmm, my HAGD posted twice. I swear didn't hit the publish button twice so I guess either blogger had a hiccup or the universe wants everyone to have a double-y nice day today.
And what's up with MS? I keep getting an IE error and then the windows shuts down completely.
I think the entire electronic community has some conspiracy against me. Yesterday it was the copier and scanner. First my document was too big to scan and when I broke it down into smaller parts and found someone who could merge 3 pdfs into one for me it was still too large to email. The scanner I always use and never have any problem with also proceeded to scan my 125 page document SIDE-ways!
When making copies of said document, the copier decided to "group" my copies instead of collating. So I had two copies of page 1, then two copies of page 2, etc., instead of 2 complete documents. When I looked at the finisher settings, it was set to collate so go figure why it didn't do that. Needless to say, it was fun putting those together in the right order.
The electronic scale at my WW meeting last night said I lost eight-tenths of a pound. I hope at least that was right.
Maybe somewhere, somehow, I unknowingly stood too close to some gigantic energy field or something. Does anybody remember the episode of ER when all kinds of weird things were happening to E.Ray and they had to do a MRI to straighten him out? That's how I feel this last two days, LOL!
Anyway, the reason I was going to MS in the first place ... Carol, if I have some business to throw your way, how does one contact you professionally?
Okay, back to the 125 page document that I still need to get distributed....
Good morning Sunshines!!!
Tinka...my neighbour lady! Hope today is a better day and you are feeling muchly improved today! Feel better soon!
CPGEM...From area 51...thanks Carol for your very nice words about yesterday's blog! You are very kind! Thank you, thank you, thank you as always for all that you do!!!
Lynn_D...sorry your memories of your teachers aren't positive ones but it says alot about you that you were able to pull good lessons for yourself out of those experiences. And it is all about the lessons learned however that might be!
My three to have on an Island.....
!. Endless supply of Cheetos (although MEK's fudgie Oreos sound like a valuable item for an Island as well!!!)
2. Big box of books
3. My piano (or perhaps a more portable item to play music on!!!)
Barb, LMAO @ the scrapbooking supplies. I think whatever you can cram into one bag should count as one because we need ALL of it, right?
I just returned from a fabulous weekend crop at an Embassy Suites near my home. They had the best prizes and the location was fantastic! There was even a Starbucks within walking distance.
I didn't win any of the raffles but I did win a prize for traveling the least distance. I think our house is all of 3 miles from this place but I splurged and stayed in the hotel so I could sit and crop in my PJ's until 3am if I wanted to. Of course I never made it that far.
There's a big crop coming up in Concord in March that I'm considering next:
http://scraptaculargetaways.com/
And this is the one I just returned from:
http://www.scrappinescape.com/HOME.html
I just love scrapbooking getaways!
fishing pole
loaded gun
a companion
Bebbi
glad to hear that your power is back on. I had several relatives there in KY that went through that ordeal with no power also. I had a friend in Indiana that went through the flooding and other relatives in Ohio that went through high winds and rain.
**If anyone is interested in giving to the Red cross then now is the time to do it**.
I'm not a great fisherman so that's why I also need the loaded gun. I can shoot down coconuts. :0)
Okay, now I've got it. I'm taking Dreama, Outatuune and Scirish.
Ummm, Outatuune, do you share he YH?
sandie,
sure i'll share ... when i get tired of him ... good luck with that!
LOL Outatuune.
re: electronic conspiracy
ordering cricut cartridges -- at least ebay is being kind to me!
can you tell i'm not in a mood to work? my bday vacation begins 40 days from now, starting with a redeye to nyc and our cruise 2 days after that. i'll be celebrating my 50th birthday in st. maarten.

1. George Clooney
2. Johnny Depp
3. Antonio Banderas
Just_Lin:
Yes, I think its a great question as well, I had to think about too. What I came up with, was all about survival while there... I really wanted to bring a book, however it would only last me so long, yet a blanket I would have for the whole year. And I can eat fish all year. And the solar powered thingy will bring me light and hopefully some way to make fire...
scirish~ congrats on first~
Tina:
I did not pick those three things/items/toys, as I left them for you! :O)
Tina:
Also, you only have three things/items/toys that you can take, So!!!!!!! I guess we will be having a baby shower here at the nest when you get back...
:O)
ha carol~ no baby shower needed....THAT'S the best part! :)~ well...not the best part~ but you know what I mean~
Everyone!
Check out Mo's blog, the link is on the sidebar of the main page of our blog.. "cousincorner"
And
The other blog is Sandie's...
Tina:
Well I was kinda looking forward to a partay!!!!
80...

See ya all tonite...
Thank God that I get the potato salad recipe as an inheritance and not the brown bag!!
I don't go anywhere without the lipshitz and that will include the grave!!
GOLDIE - Well at least you'll be looking fabulous!!!
Carol: Yes, an electric eeel! ROFLMAO!
Do they come complete with sockets?
Goldie Yes, you'll be looking fabulous and Jodi will be smiling. Gee, I guess Tina will be smiling, too. LOL
Great bloggy CAROL! Lemme see, what would I take??????
1. a trunk of cigs
2. a trunk of lighters
3. some of SHIRLEY's endless supply of toilet paper
VIG...from yesterday. I had some teachers that stand out in my memory bank. One good and one not so much. But, it was nice to think about the good one again. And he wasn't hard on the eyes, either!
DONNA JEAN...heartfelt wishes that everything goes well tomorrow with Miss Laurie Elizabeth's surgery. {{hugs}}
{{hugs}} to all that need or want them.
Assuming people don't really count as "things", I've watched enough Survivor to think I better take flint, a fishing pole, and a machete.
LynnD I meant to tell you that I think that lady teacher learned a lot more from you than you did from her. She's probably been thankful for the lesson ever since.
Whabby:
If they poop, then they sure do come with sockets!!! :O)
Mo:
Does Shirley have Charmin?
:O)
Mo:
As its easy on the arse!!!!
Just_Lin:
Yep, I think you will be all set!
I'm back from retiree's lunch. I can't believe I won the 50/50 drawing!! Yah for me!
Tina, I want to be stranded on an island next to yours. We can share! I'll loan you my soap if you loan me Johnny Depp! P.S. What is a good name brand for a "personal" toy? I may need that instead of my lap top, if you won't share! Bwha ha ha !!
I am leaving my office... See ya all when I get home...
Oh, who is marching?
Mary:
Is that you?
Well, than here I go!
All alone, but who the heck cares!!!
Maybe not
Ha, maybe so.....
And for the grand finale!
Congrats to me for 100!!!!
See ya!
Hey, Carol, congrats on the march to 100. I stepped away and missed it. :(
The only time I have been foaded and it happened when it's been an effort to type.
My foaded post said.
Good Afternoon/Evening Owls.
I just woke up and thought I would check in. I don't know if I am cheating but I think allowances should be made for the old and sickly.
My three things -
ONE DOG CRATE - to carry my "fur babies".
ONE CASE - of Slim Fast powder. I assume there is drinking water.
ONE DOWN COMFORTER - wrapped around my down pillow and favourite bear.
That's it for me today. I will read comments and check myspace tomorrow. Thanks for the well wishes. I am going back to bed.
Love, Tinka
(This time I am copying and pasting before I post).
Carol~ lol @ your marching alone! I was taking the home made pizza out of the oven.
Tinka! Thanks for checking in. Rest is always the way to go until you get your "perk" back!
Tink - hope you feel better soon
(((((HUGS)))))
I think I want to be on the island with Just_Lin. Between her supplies and my survival guide, we're all set! OTOH, Clooney would make a nice companion too!
Right now I'd settle for anything chocolate...will this work day ever end?!!!
I forgot to mention to Whabby -- 1958 was a VERY good year!
Scirish: Congrats on first!
Hello to everyone today who has flown in: Scirish, Lynn/D, Mary/mi, Goldie, Tink, J/L, CPGem, Mek, Zona, Sacbarb, outtatune, Shirley, Dreama, Sandie and anyone I may have missed.
Also, thanks for the shout outs to: J/L, Jodi, Tina, Goldie, Zona, Iteach (LOL at your comment), Vig, Dianne/Denver (ltns!), Mek, Shirley, Dreama and CPGem! Thanks for the notice that I popped by yesterday.
I have been walking but have not been feeling well with the stupid pre-menopausal CRAP and the power out, things have gotten me off schedule. I have had a stupid headache three days running and it has just been a funky week!
I am only stopping by for a sec, I have to walk about 1100 more steps to make my 7000 today.
My mom is moving and I am going to walk over to her new place and see how it's going. I have lost 18 lbs now. :) Take care and be well all. I will be back!
Woo hoo, Bebbi! Congrats on the weight loss. Keep on steppin'. :)
Way to go Bebbi .. keep up the good work!
BEBBI - WAY TO GO!!! Keep on stepping girl!!
Just got done with supper (meatloaf, peas, mashed potatoes....oh, and I made a cake today!!!), did the dishes, now I'm going to read for a little bit before going to bed. I hope everyone has a great night. :D
Good evening everyone....
Great question, Carol, and congrat's on your march to 100!
I'm so enjoying the answers...very enlightening. Ha!
(Goldie, I can so relate to the lip gloss.)
This is really a tough question and I'm thinking in a
survival mode, and because my loved ones are forever etched
into my heart, forget the pictures.
My list would include:
1.) Rod and reel
2.) Machete
3.) Unlimited supply of bath soap
Cleanliness goes a long way when you're hot, tired and dirty.
I have a wonderful idea! Why don't we all just go to
this island together and share? Just please don't
anyone bring any non-perishable canned goods, like Potted Meat, whatever that mush is. I have so had it with all that kind of stuff.
Very interesting , Carol.
sweetpea~ you can keep your rod and reel and machete, but i will trade you a night with each of my guys for a bar of soap! :)~
Jodi,
Your dinner sounds delish. I love meatloaf.
Mo, I guess all the smokers could just sit down-wind from you with all those cigarettes. Ha!
Being from Texas, and permitted to carry a consealed weapon, I don't feel the need to bring a little snub-nose 38, unless I need to defend myself, which I rather doubt. Not too much scares me, except the lack of enough bait.
Thank you Tina, Your main man in your avatar will fit just fine. If you use up all the soap, then I'll use him up too.
DEAL!!!!
I'm off to watch Project Runway, but will be back as soon as it's over.
Jodi, you have been one busy gal today. I did much of what you did, except for the going to work part! lol! I almost forgot what it was like to balance work,hubby time, kid time,cooking,cleaning shopping...
I am wearing myself out just thinking about it! I bow to all of you who are doing this. I am happy to be enjoying my retirement. It's a wonder any of us make it that far lol!! I would bow more but Mr. Arthur Ritus is settling in.
TINA: Night after night of George, Johnny, Antonio...and only sand to lay down in, or a palm tree to lean up against...you're damn sure gonna wish you had some of my aspirin...jus' sayin'... ;)
CPGEM: Oh..I'd just swallow it whole, of course... ;)
JODI: Thank you!! SWAK!
RONNIE: If you plan to use up George, go down island please as I don't know if we could take the sound of his whimpering...he may just need my aspirin too!!! ;)
MO: Why do I think those cigs will come in handy??
Commercial~~
Mary, sorry about Mr. Ritus dropping by for a visit. Take care of yourself.
ZonaBabeeee, LOL You might be right about the aspirin for George, and Mo's cigarrettes.
HI all! Well, I made my 7000 barely! Thanks for the congratulations. :) I am just dealing with a headache and a lot of crap lately. Sorry for the whining.
I really don't know what I would do if I could only bring three things. That is such a hard concept for me.
Take care!
Thanks ZONA,I'm sure the change of weather is to blame. I will have to give in and take pills. There are a lot of people out there in worse shape than me, so I just count my blessings :+)
3 cheers for Bebee!!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!!
Hip hip-less hooray!!!
sorry Bebbi, I mispelled your name!
Evening all,
Very long day today!
Wednesdays seem to run me into the ground!
My three things:
Books: War and Peace, Anna Karenina, The Bible. Do you see a theme here? All the books I have either never finished or started because they were to long! LOL
A boat
Saran wrap! I'll let you all stew on that one until tomorrow!
Shout out to Bebbi for all that walking! Way to go!
I am going to watch some TV see you in the morning.
Thanks all! Did anyone else watch Biggest Loser last night? I couldn't believe how much weight those people have lost. It has taken me 5 weeks to lose 18 lbs!! sheesh! I wanna get on that show! hehe.
I am heading over to watch the teli and get some shut eye in a bit. Have a great night everyone.
And Sandie, super big thanks for the MS mail!! LOve ya girl!!! *muah!******!!! ;)
Happy Wed. Eve.!!!
what an exhausting day!!
BUT - i LOVE everything that will be on "our" island!!!
:-0
But - i can't believe that cpgem is going to make the scrapbookers pick only THREE things!! geez...
bebbi - several of us watching "Loser" while we ate bad things for our bodies!! LOL... and i didn't do myself any favors today either!! oh well... there is always tomorrow..
jodi - I'll have a piece of cake!! (Like I said - there is always tomorrow!!)...
I hope everyone had an excellent day!! I'm going to go relax for a little while!!
:-)
Zona honey (in my best ronnie accent!)....how do you think I'll be getting rid of my headaches? You can keep your aspirin....thanks~ :D
ronnie~ ONE use of my three "things" for ONE bar of soap! I'll get back to you when my soap runs out~ :)~
TINA: Ain't your head that's gonna be achin'....
zona~ honey...i like that kinda pain~ :D
TINA: LOL....round the world indeed... ;)
****Attention K-Mart Shoppers****
Red Light Special!!
Porn has now begun on the blog!!!
****You can now resume your shopping****
Mek:
Howdy, and yes only 1 sbooking item... sorry those are the rules..
Put you feet up and relax..
♥♥♥
iteach:
Where are you, I am going to make ice cream sundaes, and I want to make you one :O)
Shirley:
Check your bathroom for your toilet paper, I think Mo stole it all...
Carol, here I am. I'm just dragging a little tonight.
iteach:
I sent it to you via myspace, and I made sure the sundae had a cherry on top....
Enjoy, you deserve it :O)
It looks like everyone has flown away, so I'm saying my good nights.
It's been a very long and upsetting day, to say the least. I actually was able to get into Krogers today and it was full of armed guards. All cash, no debit cards, and a limited supply of fresh foods.
At this point, Carol, I would love to go to an island with only three things.
This was a fly-by/tuck-in.
Hang in there iteach...I care!
Ronnie:
I love when you tuck me in? Can I ask a favor if you are still here?
Can you tuck in Iteach as well?
Now that Ronnie has tucked me in, I am off to bed...
Hope all has a good nite...
See ya all tomorrow...
Cute blog tomorrow from a owl, I enjoyed it, and I am sure you all will as well...
:O)
Good night Ronnie and Carol!
(((HUGS))) to you both.
iteach (((HUGS))) to you, too.
Nite everyone...
hope everyone has an excellent Thursday!!
:-)
Good night MEK! See you tomorrow!
Hello everyone. Just flying in to say good night.
Carol, If I bring Sharon, can she bring 3 things?
I talked to DonnaJean today and she is in San Francisco. They have to be at the hospital at 6:30am tomorrow. She will let us know how things went after Laurie's surgery. She thanks everyone for the prayers and good thoughts and wishes.
Sleep well everyone.
SacBarb, sweet dreams. Thanks for the update on DonnaJean. Sending special thoughts and prayers to sweet Laurie Elizabeth. Good night everyone!
Great Morning Owls!
{{{HUGS}}} for all of you.
{{{Laurie Elizabeth, Donna Jean}}}}
3 Things, eh?

3.) Tequila
Sounds like fun, when do we leave?
XOXO!
