FIRST

RonnieGirl said...

Yes, Yes, Yes!!

Good morning!

RonnieGirl said...

Carol, I loved my ride to work with you in the rain. I was just wondering how in the world you ever find your way back anf forth with all those turns.

Actually I love rainy mornings, but I only saw one cup of caw-fee. I guess I have to bring my own, huh?

You are such a Sweetie for donating the video, it will make me keep a smile :) on my face all day.

No kidney for me....but you already gave me part of your heart, so I'm good to go.

Have to run, need to leave for work, but I'll be back tonight. Thank you again for remembering me.

RonnieGirl said...

Let me repeat.....First....
but Carol will have to tell you I cheated. It still counts in the 'Book Of Records' that Shirley is keeping.

See everyone later and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Ronnie

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Oh Sure I stop to put medicine in the dogs ear and Ronnie flys into first! Congrats Ronnie! So good to see you! I would give you a kidney.

Carol I love seeing your drive to work. I am a little weird as I love to see other parts of the country but I love to see towns and cities and the houses and how people live. I find it fascinating. So thank you for the ride!

PS I could not read the license plate but now I am dying to know what it said!

ibebold said...

Morning ronnie...COngrats on
1st!!!!!!!!!!!

ibebold said...

Morning LynnD...
I need to go watch the video!!

Birdee said...

Hello Ronnie and Lynn!!



Shit Carol!!!!! I felt like I was in the car with Mr. B.....I kept wanting to put my foot on the BRAKE!!!!! When that one white car pulled out in front of you and you panned down to your Cawfee, I think I was holding my breath!!!!

OH HELL!!! I'm car sick now!!!!
LOL!!!

Birdee said...

Congrats on 1st Ronnie!

Ibb, did you have a bear free night?

Birdee said...

Hey Lynn, I'm a little weird like that too. I so like to see other's hometown's. I especially like to look at the older home's. Remind's me of the big old house I lived in growing up.

ibebold said...

Actually Birdee ..NO...I got home from work at 10:30... every exterior light was on and Mr IBB was up on the deck... he said... "The bear is across the street.. hurry up get in the house..."
I moved real fast .. it was kinda funny!!!

ibebold said...

Carol..I enjoyed riding to work with you...it was almost like my ride this morning... it is rainy here also...
thanks for taking us along..

Birdee.. I was looking at the old homes also!!

Birdee said...

ibb, I'm glad your hubby was out there to warn you.
Got any firework's on hand? Maybe a few big bang's would scare the sucker off!! ;o)

Jodi said...

CAROL - I luv your video for RONNIE!!! Although I think I was stepping on the brake the whole time!!! lol!!

RONNIE - Congrats on first!!!

Waving a wing @ LYNN D, IBB, and BIRDEE (and YES, you're a HOTTIE!!!).

The kids are on break this week, but I'm going out with some friends this afternoon!! I hope everyone has a good Monday!!

Birdee said...

I'm gonna watch the vid again. Now that I know how Carol drive's....maybe I won't be so nervous!! lol

Birdee said...

Hey Jodi!!! Nice to see you..Enjoy your afternoon out!

Birdee said...

Ok, the vid is just as good the second time around.

I think I saw one of the Saprano's walking down the street!!! ;o)

ibebold said...

Birdee.. to funny... Sopranos...
and yes Mr. ibb had a hand full of M-60's... they worked last year.. we save them for when he is real close!!! or more than one..we had as many as three at one time last year!!! Firecrackers def came out that night...

Morning JODI.. enjoy your day with friends...

Lynn D said...

Morning Birdee, IBB, and Jodi!

IBB how weird you living with a bear! I would be worried sick!

Birdee my favorite part of a drive is driving through small towns.

Jodi have fun with your friends today!

From area 51: Tina don't know how effective I would have been but I would gladly throw my cellphone at the arguing pair! LOL I would probably say something and then they would come after us.

Dianne in Denver where are you? I keep forgetting to let you know that I did eat all of the candy and all by myself! Yes it made me feel better.

Bonacci worm farms good description. That is part of the reason I have not been on Myspaz in awhile. Seems everytime I do I end up with something on my computer.

Ok must get more coffee. This week is going to be busy!

ibebold said...

LynnD.. I have to keep telling myself that I moved into HIS neighborhood!!!

ibebold said...

25 for mek and Goldie!!!

bonachichi said...

Good morning LynnD, IBB, Birdee, Jodi, Carol, Ronnie and all the late morning Hooters.

What a wonderful drive, Carol. Maybe you could put some velcro tape on your dashboard and the bottom of your flip; then you could just mount/remove it and take us on all kinds of field trips! With cawfee, of course.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

MEK in AZ said...

Happy monday!!

RONNIE - YEAH - congrats on FIRST.. and GOOD TO SEE YOU..

I have to fly in quickly - we are off to have Mr. MEK's bandages removed........

BUT -

I must say -

ITEACH - I can NOT print the words i would like to say about that woman in church....... so - just know that i am appaulded.... and shaking my head........

IBB - BE SAFE!!!!!!!

waving at everyone......

OH - and how about that carrie underwood!!!!!!!!

okay - we'll be back soon... and I'll catch up!!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!!
:-)

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Ronnie congrats on 1st :)

Loved the drive to work video!

Your rain is supposed to arrive here tomorrow... we'll see!

Having some cawfee and gotta go to the grossry store.

Be back, have a nice day everyone!

Sandie said...

Good morning (just a few minutes left here on the east coast) Ronnie, LynnD, IBB, Birdee, Jodi, Bonacci, MEK and EBJ!

Congrats on first, Ronnie, and great to see you!

Carol, I loved the ride to work this morning! But ummm, I hope the flip camera made the drive seem faster than it really was .... otherwise, you scared the Birdee-poop out of me!!

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Congrats on 1st Ronnie- and so good to see you again!

Thanks for the ride to work today, but like Jodi, I had my foot on the brake! Have fun today JODI.

Thanks for the 25 IBB. You have a bear- I have a coyote. Yes, in the city. We have lots of greenspace and wooded parks. Apparently one has taken up sleeping under the neighbors (4 houses away) pine tree. They are worried about their new (9 weeks and sooooo cute) black lab puppy. It seems that said coyote has already killed and abscounded with several small dogs in the region. YIKES

Hope everyone has a good day and that the sun shines where you are..:)

ibebold said...

Goldie.. I will keep my bear.. coyotes scare me...

kahonugrl said...

Damn Carol!

With all those right turns couldn't you just pull outta your garage hang a left and be at work? Seems like there was a lotta right turns. LOL.

Sorry I been away, was sick and work has been crazeeeeeee~

Ronnie nice to see ya lady.

Ok off to start my day.

East Bay J said...

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS:

The traveling necklace has left the building.

I took it to the post office, and it's on it's way to IBJ.

It should arrive in 2-3 days!

kahonugrl said...

Thoughts and wishes to the people of Italy~

bonachichi said...

Kgrl, I heard from my Italian cohorts about 5 hours after the quake. All the people I know are in the north and they're fine. The citizens aren't too happy, though.

It seems this quake was predicted with some degree of accuracy. About 3 weeks ago a physicist told the area in and around l'aquila to vacate and the government censored him because he was causing a panic. What, I wonder, does the government think is happening now? People joyfully skipping down the streets throwing confetti?

kahonugrl said...

bonacci:

I have a couple of geologist friends here and they too said that area was "waiting to happen" in a conversation we had last week. Out 7.2 that we experienced a few years back was pretty weird, but luckily we had no major destruction and no deaths.

I hope that the government listens now....tho I am sure not everyone would have left on his advice...but if even one death could have been prevented.


From Area 51:

Bear....Yeaster really? ewwwww

Tina: I so agree that Eva Cassidy does that song better justice than Christine did.

I just saw Mick Fleetwood last Thursday (he lives on Maui and did a couple of gigs with his blues band) and that man still rocks!!! He did a drum solo that went on for 15-20 minutes.

ok back to work.

bonachichi said...

I'd be skeptical of a quake prediction. But if CERN was literally in my backyard and someone came to me with a prediction, I'd at least get a consensus.

I tell people I don't really like Europe because all they do there is eat, drink and look at old S@#t. They just can't let go of their landmarks, no matter how many people they may kill. This has happened over and over but they still don't get it.

As for the guy who Italy insists just got lucky, he should go buy a lottery ticket, walk his dog on the autostrat, then do a nice swan dive off Pirelli Tower into a jacuzzi because he's the luckiest SOB alive.

Just_Lin said...

Ronnie Yay for you being first today! So apropos!

IBB Yikes, at having to run into the house due to the bear. I bet your car has good pizza smells coming out of it, too. Hey, don't let the bear wear the Traveling Necklace! ;)

LynnD I'm dying to know what the license plate said, too.

Birdee I wasn't breaking but I was starting to get a little car sick by the end. LOL

Hodi I hope you have a great time with your friends today.

Bonacci I guess you have a point about Europe's landmarks, but what a shame to lose them completely.

Kgrl LMAO @ why Carol doesn't just make one right turn!

Carol So, anyway........Love going on car trips with you. :)

Lani said...

CAROL - Your ride to work was great. Maybe you could do a spin off series called Cawfee Tawk w/ Carol on SNL.

Good Afternoon RONNIE, LYNN, IBB, BIRDEE, JODI, MEK, EBJ, SANDIE, BONACCI & KGIRL & ALL who fly in later. Have a wonderful day.

Lani said...

LYNN - I don't think you are weird. I love to see and hear about other parts of the country and world and see how they live. I love to hear peoples life stories.

IBB - Is this a black bear or a brown bear? How many are there? Does the county ever relocate them?

JODI - Wishing you a good time this afternoon.

MEK - I hope Mr MEK has healed.

Lani said...

EBJ - I am keeping good thoughts for Paula's appetite.

GOLDIE - That coyote better stay away from the new puppy. There are coyotes in the hills here and it is just heartbreaking when they take someone's pet. I know it is because we have invaded their territory.

K-girl - LOL @ make a right turn.

Lani said...

SLIN - I see you just slipped in.

Just_Lin said...

I had to leave and go to work for a bit. So now I will continue my long-ass port.

MEK I hope everything is going well for Mr. MEK.

Goldie A coyote! Yikes! Be careful. Gee, all I have is a pesty hawk and a couple of squirrels. Even the raccoons haven't been around for quite a while.

EBJ How's Paula doing? We've had such beautiful weather now rain expected for tomorrow. Oh, well, we can always use a little rain.

Slan Good afternoon. When are we doing our next puzzle?

Just_Lin said...

I guess that would be my long-ass post as probably nobody cares about my long-ass port. LOL

night.owls.sb said...

RonnieGirl...

Congrats on first..

night.owls.sb said...

And yes... I am telling..

Cause Ronnie cheaqted on first, she took a crash course offered my Mo, it took her a while but she caught on..

Shirley...
You can put in your notes that she was first, but please put that she cheaqted cause that is the right thing to do..

:O)

Just_Lin said...

Suddenly, a little bird ran across the deck and grabbed a spider and started to eat it. As it was eating it, some of the spider's legs fell off. I am so totally grossed out that I just had to share. :)

night.owls.sb said...

I am sorry if I made some of you dizzy, when I watched the vid I got dizzy too...

night.owls.sb said...

J/L...
Thanks for sharing.. NOT!

Just_Lin said...

Ronnie will have to have an asterisk by her "First" total, like they do in baseball.

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..
Good idea.. if you are gonna cheaqt, than you must pay the piper..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Lani..
Spin off series.. LOL

Just_Lin said...

Carol How many syllables does Ronnie put in the word "cawfee"?

night.owls.sb said...

Lynnd...
You are not weird at all, I enjoy seeing other parts as well.. I live in a area that is not wide open spaces, all the houses are old and close together.. It is really like NYC.. houses on top of houses, and store after store, I pass two large supermarkets on my way to work, and it takes me 7 minutes to drive to my office from my house..

I am so a city girl..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

7

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

IBB...

OMG.. I would have freaked out.. A bear.. You sure it was not Whabby?

Just_Lin said...

Carol Did you see Kgrl's commment to you about all your right hands turns? So funny!

night.owls.sb said...

JodiHo!

Sorry, it did seem like I was going fast, but I really wasn't..

Its weird to flip and drive.. I would do it again tho, as I had a blast..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..
No not yet.. I am working on it tho..

Just_Lin said...

I think on LA freeways, they do a different kind of flipping.

night.owls.sb said...

Birdee...

A soprano.. LOL.. we have lots of them all around.. Just down the street from where I was driving, where the car (which was a cab) was in front of me and I panned down.. Is where the Frankie Valli clan grew up..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

LOL.. flipping..

OMG.. I felt so bad that you can see the persons lic plate in front of me..

Oh well.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci...

What a great idea.. I then can take you guys with me everyday!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

Hope all went well w/Mr Mek..

Just_Lin said...

Carol Their license plate was too far away and we couldn't read it. Water on the windshield would have made it difficult even if it was closer. So, anyway........no worries.

Bebbilane said...

Carol: That was fun!

Ronniegirl: Congrats on first and congrats on the "donation"! haha

Turtle..

Nope sorry, need lots of right turns to get to work.. its city driving at its finest..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

You crawled right in there.. and they say Turtles are slow. LOL

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

Oh good glad you could not see it.. I hardly made it out as well..

kahonugrl said...

had to grab that niner for old times sake....lol.

I have to give it to the US Postal Service... JodiHO sent me something from WESconsin on Friday and it arrived today. That's alot of miles over a weekend.

Thanks JodiHO~

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

Yes, our thoughts are with the ppl from Italy... my business partner new some ppl that lived in the area of the quake, but he reached out for them and all are fine..

Just_Lin said...

Carol So horrible about the quake in Italy. I'm so glad your business partner's friends are okay, many are not.

Just_Lin said...

Kgrl Congrats on 69! Yes, just like old times. :)

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

Oops.. forgot to say..

Congrats on 69.. hope you enjoyed..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

Yes, many are not, so sad..

night.owls.sb said...

Birdee...

Could you watch it a 3rd time???

LOL...

night.owls.sb said...

EBJ...

So fun.. the traveling necklace is on its way to IBB's..

Turtle...
I think the Post Office is so slow.. perhaps they are just slow on the east coast.. when I mailed the traveling necklace to Bebbi it took 4 days to get there..

night.owls.sb said...

ok... I chatted enough.. I am tired of hearing me..

See ya all later..

DWTS..2nite..

sacBarb said...

Happy Monday Owls. I am late again, but I am here.

Carol, I loved taking the ride to work with you. You passed a big white house on a corner that looked like my grandparent's house on Long Island. That house is still in the family. I didn't think you drove fast at all, but then I tend to be lead footed myself.

I am cracking up watching Oprah. She is talking to Moms about the things they were never told about having children. These women are funny, and I can identify with everything they are saying.

iteach said...

Carol, I can't wait to listen to you video downstairs. For whatever reason the computer upstairs doesn't have sound.

Busy day! Carolyn somehow scratched her eyeball and she has been in a lot of pain. You can actually see the scratch. We went to the doctor and he gave us eye drops.

We finally got her to take some medicine with orange soda. My boys have always loved their medicine but not Miss Carolyn.

It is hard to watch her be in so much pain. The pain medicine has kicked because she is smiling again. So now we get to do the drops.

sacBarb said...

Ronnie, So good to see you here and at first, too.

IBB, so sorry the bear is back.

Birdee, LOL @ seeing a Soprano on Carol's route to work.

MEK, Hope Mr. MEK is all healed.

Goldie, A coyote is scary. I heard an odd clip clop noise outside today and looked out the window to see Bambi strolling down the street. I live on a dead end steet across from the American River and we see river animals all the time, but this is the first time I have seen a deer. It must have come down the levee and through the park at the end of the street. My neighbor called the Park Dept. to come and get it. They said "no!"

bonachichi said...

Carol, I will confess something about your driving.... it didn't bother me at all. I was the kid in the back seat, staring out the window and looking at the cool new place. You could have gunned it over a ramp, and through the open door of a moving train. I wouldn't have noticed.

bonachichi said...

sacBarb, they wouldn't rescue Bambi? Isn't anyone worried he'll get hurt? Does it happen often?

MEK, I was unaware that Mr. MEK had been sick/hurt/operated on or whatever happened to him. I hope he's doing okay; maybe that'll give you a break too.

sacBarb said...

Bonacci, I don't know why they wouldn't rescue Bambi. Some of the neighbors have seen deer on rare occasions, but this was a first time for me and I have lived here 40 years. We took a walk on the levee this afternoon and we didn't see any sign of the deer so we hope the Mom found him or her.

Maureen said...

RONNIE...congrats on first! And how fun to have a blog donated to you ;)

CAROL...I can't watch the vid, but from what I gather, you drive rather like a maniac!!!

BONACCI...have you heard of Sulmona or Bugnara? They are in the L'aquila region but I can't figure out how close to the quake. I visited some people there a few years ago. I am worried for them and since I don't speak Italian and they don't speak English I will have to email them. Hopefully they will repsond quickly.

JUST LIN...we get so many deer around here. They are beautiful...until they dash in front of the car!

Maureen said...

Oops...SACBARB has Bambi, not JUST LIN.

Zona said...

'Ello 'Ello!!

CPGEM: I liked driving with you in the rain. I felt totally safe, and I enjoyed the view. I'm another "so anyway-er"..I didn't even notice you saying it! Thanks for taking us with you, RONNIE and your cawfee today!

RONNNIIIEE! Congrats on FIRST! It sure does count..anyway you can get it! ;)

LYNND: I loved seeing the houses too. I'm so used to ranch style..

BIRDEE: LOL..next time CPGEM will have to warn you so you can take a dramamine!!

IBB: I know I would still think of that bear as "Teddy"...

Zona said...

JODI: :D

ITEACH: I hope Carolyn heals quickly..so hard to see a little one hurting.

SACBARB: Now ya did it..I'm going to be worried about Bambi..poor baby.

MEK: I want send my healing wishes to Mr. MEK too..

GOLDIE: We see coyotes all the time in the foothills. They are scary and I know they do go after small dogs. I wish that the builders would think more before they put housing developments right on top of these animal's natural habitat.

EBJ: Could you then send the rain this way? Thanks!

J/LIN: LOL@ long ass port..

Waving HI to MO, KGRL, SANDIE, BONACCI, LANI and BEBBI!

Special shout out to JAX, DIANNE, TINKA and VIG..thinkin' bout ya..

Zona said...

TINA: I thought of your son's friends as soon as I heard about the quake..I hope they are all OK.

I hope everyone has a great Monday night...

Zona said...

It is Monday..right??

jigglin' in jax said...

Guess the line forms here. I'm after Zona. :D

I think we all need a kidney after driving w/ Carol, don't you? ( and maybe some Zanax.;)
~
Have to go finish w/ kids.....and try to settle my stomach (and nerves) after that wild ride.......:)

Tina~in_ut said...

Ronnie~ Congrats on first and the blog~ Don't tell Carol....that you don't want to watch that video with a migraine! ijs~

Zona~ the kids have just taken off from MSP to AMS....they won't be in Italy until tomorrow morning~ ...but thanks for thinking of them~

LynnD~ i pictured you going after those girls again~ :D

Can't remember who asked how many syllables Ronnie puts in the word Cawfee.....but I would like to know how long it takes her to say the whole word!!!! :D

Dianne/Denver said...

CAROL: Very fun ride to work with you. By the time I get up and watch this, you probably already had your ride home....never boring!! Thanks

goldie said...

Ok my Canadian friends- we got a scare today.. a student pilot in Thunder Bay, Ontario apparently stole an airplane an flew over us! Hence, our Capitol was evacuated and now the last report says he is by St. Louis, MO. Whats up with tha shit??LOL I always thought Canada was a NICE place to live, why is he trying to escape???

sacBarb said...

Zona, I'm sorry I worried you. I'm sure Bambi is OK. Is that better?

night.owls.sb said...

YAY.. Great news..

Birdee watched the vid for the 3rd time.. ya know what they say..

"3rd time is a charm"

LOL

Lani said...

Again, I thought the video was a blast.

Poor Carolyn. I hope her eye is better tomorrow.

I usually keep up on the news, but not so much the last few days. I didn't realize how hard the earthquake hit in Italy. My thoughts are with them.

night.owls.sb said...

JAX...

Double YAY.. you found us.. :O)

How the heck are you typing with your broken wrist? Do you have a
secret typing thingamajig you are using..????

night.owls.sb said...

iteach..

Sorry Carolyn is hurting.. I am sure its breaking your heart.. I am sure tho the drops will help..

Kisses and Hugs for Carolyn..
♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Dianne...

You are correct, I am home..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Zona...

Kidneys R Us.. LMAO..

night.owls.sb said...

Tina...

When I glimpsed your comment and saw "don't tell Carol" I skipped right over it.. I did not even read it, cause I knew it was a secret..

LOL

night.owls.sb said...

Jax..

Not me, no way am I giving my kidney away.. especially to a Texan you happens to love fisherman.. which we all know, some fisherman kinda smell fishy.. and there is no way I want my kidney to smell fishy..

No way!!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci...
"kid in the back seat" LOL.. well then next time, I will be sure to put a car seat in the back just for you..


:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mo,
I can ask my business partner where those places are in regards to the quake, he is really knowledgeable about Italy.. Not that Bonacci is not tho..

and

No, I really don't drive crazy, I just think the flip makes it seem that way.. at least that is what I think..

bonachichi said...

Mo, sulmona and bugnara are both just a little closer to l'aquila than Rome is, except Rome is on the west coast. I'm told that the world is seeing only the worst. Outside of l'aquila it's not so bad. Still, if I knew someone in sulmona or bugnara, I'd want to reach out with at least an e-mail. It's just after 4:00 a.m. there, so if you send it now, they might receive/respond in a few hours. I hope they're okay. I wouldn't doubt they'll have a case of nerves.

Just_Lin said...

Hi Jigglin!!!

Zona said...

MO: I Google Earthed it..Sulmona is an hour and 12 minutes from L'Aguila..and Bugnara is an hour and 5 minutes away. I'm sure though that Bonacci can give you more precise distances because Google Earth tends to take the long route. If you want to check it out just go to Google Maps and plug in both names.

Zona said...

Ooops! I should have refreshed! I see that Bonacci has answered MO...sorry!

East Bay J said...

Bonacci! I tried to find you on Myspace earlier. I had no luck.

Then again, I may have done it wrong.

Send an invite to eastbayjm if you want!

Iteach I hope Carolyn's eye is better. That sounds painful.

Tina, is it your kids that are going to Italy? How did I miss that? Is it with school or??

Zona, I LOVE Google maps!!

I've been using the maps a lot lately while we've been looking at houses for my mother in law.

Some of the MLS listings don't have pictures, so I can see the house. Also use it to see what kind of neighborhood the house is in.

It comes in very handy!

bonachichi said...

Carol, I think you give me too much credit. I get lost each and every time I travel. Come to think of it, I get lost when I walk my dogs. I suck at that stuff. Hey, instead of the carseat, can I just lay spread-eagle on the roof and see how long I can hold on? I'll wear a helmet!

night.owls.sb said...

Geez.. we have so many smart owls here.. so amazing..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie..

Maybe this hijacker wants out of Canada for some reason.. Maybe he is on the "lamb" Kinda scary tho..

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci...
You certainly can, however if you fall your on your own, cause I have to get to work.. LOL..

Zona said...

SACBARB: It's ok...you know I would worry regardless. If mama Bambi came out of the woods and took baby Bambi by the hoof...I'd still worry if they got home safely. That's just me...that's the way I roll. :)

RonnieGirl said...

I finally got home and thanks for all the welcome-backs.

Had some things to do after work and then dinner at my daughters.

Watched the video again and I'm still wondering how you find your way to work everyday.

If I haven't told you all, it's soooo good to see you again.

Just_Lin said...

iteach I'm so sorry about Carolyn's eye. I hope it heals up soon.

MO Actually, we get the occasional deer in this neighborhood, too, but not today. :)

RonnieGirl said...

ibb~ please be careful with that bear. I remember last spring he got very brave in your neighborhood.

Really sorry to hear about the earthquake in Italy, and hope all loved ones and friends are safe.

bonachichi said...

Goldie, many years ago, we in the L.A. area were blessed by a character who is now known as Lawnchair Larry. He tied a bunch of helium-filled weather balloons to a lawnchair to see what would happen. Armed with some beer and a pea-shooter, he set in for the ride. Some time later a pilot who was indeed, flying a plane, reported "some guy in a lawnchair" outside his window. Poor Larry had risen so high, he was afraid to use his pea-shooter to deflate the balloons. Larry was charged with an FAA airspace violation.

RonnieGirl said...

Zona Babeeeee~ Kidney's R Us???

Too funny. Hope you are feeling better.

RonnieGirl said...

J/L Thanks ever so much for the kidney beans. You're so generous. Ha! Well Carol won't give me hers either.

LynnD, my sweet friend, said she would share, so I know I'll be okay.

Maureen said...

BONACCI and CAROL...thanks for the info. I googled it and Sulmona is 31 miles away. I did send a message on Facebook, so maybe by tomorrow I will have word. My friend did call our friends there and thankfully, Sulmona and Bugnara had minimal damage and everyone is safe. It did shake them up for a long time and they were scared, but no one was hurt.

Have you ever been there? It is so beautiful. And Sulmona has the best cumbet factory!!

RonnieGirl said...

Just_Lin said...

Sweet dreams, Ronnie!

Just_Lin said...

HA, Carol, don't even try it....ijs.

Mo, if I've been to either one of those cities, I don't know it. The reason I got to know people in Italy is because I was working ground support for a european car rally. We were (Surprise!) lost somewhere in the Italian Alps. We met a university professor who agreed to guide us back to where we were supposed to be in exchange for letting him drive a cool car. We got on well and now he and his wife are clients as well as friends.

night.owls.sb said...

Ronnie..

Home, sweet word.. did you ever find that family that likes fish? cause that could be your next home..

:O)

iteach said...

Yeah, I finally got to listen to the video.

Wow, what a lot of houses and cars.

I also didn't see any tractors in the road like I encounter. lol

night.owls.sb said...

Ronnie..

Who the heck are you kidding, get your but off that couch and get back
home..

night.owls.sb said...

Ronnie...

If we ever drive together, I am driving.. you my friend will be in the passenger seat all buckled up..
Just in case we hit a bump in the road I don't want you to go flying..

LOL

iteach said...

Carol thank you so much for your video today! I so enjoyed it.

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach..

Yes lots of cars and houses, all squished in together.. City life at its finest..

and no, no tractors. actually tractors are only allowed on certain highways here in NJ.. And those are the highways I try to avoid, tractors scare the crap out of me..

night.owls.sb said...

iteach..

Thanks!

night.owls.sb said...

To everyone..

Are tractors allowed on all your highways or only certain ones, like in NJ?????

Just_Lin said...

Carol I've never thought about it before. I certainly never see tractors on the freeway! They are way too slow. I think they have to be transported to whereever they are going to be working. I'm referring to construction type not farm. I never see farm type either.

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

I knew I had not a chance of being last, just thought I would give it a try tho...

Maybe then tractors are not allowed on certain freeways in your area..

night.owls.sb said...

I should clarify.. when I say

Tractor, I mean Tractor Trailor, those big jobbers that haul stuff, not a tractor that is on a farm.

sacBarb said...

Carol, Tractors are not allowed on CA freeways unless they are on a transport vehicle, as J/L said. If they were wheels down on the freeway, they would most certainly get run over or, at the very least, shot at!

sacBarb said...

OK, I'm not sure what a tractor trailer is.

ibebold said...

good evening....
HOW EXCITING .. the Necklace Is Headed My Way!!!!

Iteach... Hope little Carolyn's eye is better very soon... keep those pain meds in her... those little eyes hurt so bad ...(but make sure you give her stuff to keep her unplugged... pain meds can plug you up... so grapes and apple juice are real good now!!!)

Carol.. I live in a farming community.. so tractors are everywhere!!! They are not allowed on the interstate...but every other highway... but the law is if they get a line of cars behind them they have to pull over and let you by..I think it like 5 or more cars...

Sweet dreams Ronnie.. it was good seeing you today... the bear has already torn down the gate the other night...

ibebold said...

How funny... I thought you meant farm tractor...
Tractor trailer=18 wheeler!!
no restrictions in Va...

MEK in AZ said...

Hi everybody ..

I'm trying to get caught up..

I think cpgem means..

semi trucks.......(right??!!)..

ibebold said...

Lani.. Black bear... last year we had as many as 3 at a time... and they do not re-locate them ..as we moved into their neighborhood...
they range in size from 150 pounds to 300... the one the other night was about a 200 pounder!!

ibebold said...

Hey MEK... Everything ok with my favorite BIL...???

night.owls.sb said...

Mek...

I don't know if I mean semi truck???

I always called them tractor trailors..

Ya know like the ones that deliver to your supermarket or walmart.. big trucks like that, what are they called?

sacBarb said...

J/L, I just heard that they found the body of that 8 year old girl that was missing from Tracey. Very sad.

bonachichi said...

IBB: Are you kidding me? You live with bears? I don't know if a bear s#@ts in the woods, but I sure would if I saw a bear.

sacBarb said...

Carol, I think those are semi trucks and they are allowed on our freeways, but they can only have a maximum of two trailers and their load cannot exceed 80,000 lbs. They also cannot go over 55 mph.

IBB, when I was in VA a few years ago the trucks scared the crap out of me when I was driving on the Highway. I was also surprised that they could haul many trailers.

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb That is so horrible about that poor little girl, her body shoved in a suitcase. I hope someone kills the b*st*rd that did that.

ibebold said...

SacBarb.. stay off I-81.. they are really bad on that road...

Carol.. they are called... SEMI's... 18 wheelers... tractor trailers...
all the same!!

Actually the Tractor part is the big truck... and Trailer..well self explanitory..

ibebold said...

oh no.. that is sad about the little girl... I agree J/L

Maureen said...

SACBARB...how sad. I agree...kill the bastard. Haven't there been a few cases like this in Tracey?

ibebold said...

168

ibebold said...

169

ibebold said...

AAAAHHHHHH... I needed that...

ibebold said...

Mo..are you serious... like maybe serial type..??

bonachichi said...

RIP little Sandra. Nobody can hurt you now.

Just_Lin said...

MO Not in Tracy, that I know of. My son and his family live there. I'm very upset about that litte girl. They had been showing a security video of her skipping home, was almost to her own yard and then it appears that someone off-camera calls to her as she suddenly detours out of camera view. VERY UPSETTING! If only we could rewind the video and make her continue to her own home.

bonachichi said...

Unfortunately, most of the death row inmates in CA die of old age.

night.owls.sb said...

Oh my, how sad for that little girl..

You ever did it.. "Bastard"

night.owls.sb said...

IBB..

Thanks...

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, I am off to bed...


See ya all tomorrow..

night.owls.sb said...

IBB...

Congrats on 169.. so very glad you enjoyed..

:O)

really going now...

ibebold said...

Good Night Carol.. I am turning in myself.. see ya tomorrow...

tomorrow will be very long and difficult day...

sacBarb said...

Good night Carol and IBB. Sweet dreams to you both.

J/L, When they said they found that suitcase I was afraid the news was not good. It is so sad and I too hope they find the b**t**d and hang him by his who-ha!

sacBarb said...

MEK, are you still here? Did you watch Medium tonight? Ihate shows like tonight's.

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb That poor little girl. My heart goes out to the family. It seems the police are back at the mobile home park with more search warrants.

Donna Jean said...

Hi all,

I am just popping in to let you know that Laurie, Olive and myself are doing OK. A few little upsets here and there but nothing drastic.

I have been checking in and reading the Blogs and comments, but for some reason my computer will not show the videos. That stopped about in January. Anyone have any idea why? (it really sucks not to see them)

I am very upset tonight about little Sandra Contu, from Tracy, CA. She is the same age as my granddaughter, and this hit home way too close.

I have always felt hurt and sadness for the parents of those little children that go missing, but this particular one struck a nerve in me that I wasn't aware I had.

I saw that video of her so many times over and over (they replay it so many times here in No Ca)and my own precious granddaughter is the same age, and also very gregarious and loving and trusting.

I remember myself being that age and saying "Bye, see ya tonight", and running off or riding my bicycle off to parts unknown to my grandmother, and no one was worried. (no cell phones in those days, but I would have a dime to use the pay phone). I would leave the house early in the morning to the park, etc, and return home before it got dark.
This of course was in the late 50's early 60's.

That is not to say that predators were not there to whisk me or other unsuspecting little girls/boys away. We were I am sure just very lucky.

We just hear about it more now. And because I am now a grandmother, I am more concerned and worried. In fact, my grandkids tease me that I am the "worry" Grandma. Well, I am happy to be known as the worry
Grandma, as long as my loved ones are safe.

Sorry to be so down tonight.

IBB- I can't believe you are so "whatever" about a huge BEAR in your yard! I would be yelling and screaming, and calling everyone from the police to animal control! I only had two huge raccoons on my roof several weeks ago and I was freaked!!

MARY- if you check in, (which you should not be doing) Hi, and have lots of fun, soaking up the sun, drinking those fabulous Drink concoctions they have onboard, and I do hope you go to the Spa for some real relaxation!!!

Love to you all,
DonnaJean

sacBarb said...

J/L, Yes I heard that two search warrants have been issued, one for somewhere in the trailer park and one for an undisclosed location. I feel terrible for the family. The news said over a hundred people are at the trailer court, bringing balloons and candles for a memorial, even at this late hour.

I'm going to bed now. Good night all and sweet dreams, although that may be difficult tonight.

whabbear said...

Nothing wrong with a black bear!

Lani said...

Is it true that there is more to fear from brown bears than black bears? I guess if it is in your yard there is something to fear from either.

Hi DONNA JEAN - I am happy to hear all of you are well. When the news of Sandra flashed at the bottom of the screen I happened to be watching a program playing funeral music. The news was horrible enough, but the music on top of it really made me sob. Too many times it turns out that the monsters who do this have molested before. As far as I am concerned if some one molests once they should never be let out of prison,

Jodi said...

LAST!!!

Just_Lin said...

Jodi Nice try. LOL

Slani I started crying as soon as they found that suitcase. So horrible!

SacBarb I hope you sleep well.

DonnaJean Hello, Sweet Lady. It is very upsetting about little Sandra Cantu. Tracy is where my grandchildren live although, of course, the dangers are everywhere. It is just so heartbreaking to see that video. You want so much to be able to change the course she is taking and bring her safely to her own home.

Lani said...

Sweet Dreams HODI. Oh, I guess it should be good morning.I am going to take up a collection to help TINA start her lemonade stand . She is a little strapped for cash.

Jodi said...

JUST LIN - A girl can try!!!

LANI - Is your daughter at the hospital? Early B'day wishes for Georgina!!!

Lani said...

Thanks Jodi, she isn't in labor yet. I didn't mean to be misleading. Jennifer & I tease that Georgina is packing her bags because she is way down in the womb now. Should be any day. Every day she is a little farther.

Jodi said...

LANI - I remember that feeling....kinda like a bowling ball traveling down....lol!!

Just_Lin said...

Slan Jodi and VIG have responded to you on MS status updates.

Good night. Sweet dreams.
