Mayday, Mayday, Literally!

I want today to be a good day, my thoughts last night were all over the place and I am concerned about my day today, so I need to see the words, as they always help.

Swine flu, ok, so we know its a flu, ok, so we know it can be contagious, ok, does it have to be shoved in our faces 24/7. If it is not deadly, then is it not somewhat like a flu that happens to spark up at anytime, that we have all gotten at some point in our life. My little cousin had the flu, throwing up, pooping etc. I had the pleasure (not) of visiting her at the time and 3days later I got the same pooping, throwing up mess. I don't remember that being on the news! Joe Biden our Vice President, telling people not to get on planes, or trains, so does that mean we halt all our transportation? Do we stop living?
A white house spokesperson tired to switched his words and explain what he said he did not mean in the way it was taken. HUH!!!!! My cousin works in Manhattan, she told me she has not seen one person with a mask on, yet the pictures you see on the news of manhattanites they are walking around with masks on. Could she have missed something? I think not, its just plain and simple, the media did it again, blown something way out of proportion, and scared the heck out of everyone. They all need to get a life

Craiglist Killer, what is up with that!!! Clean cut kid, engaged to a young woman, both going to medical school, engaged to be married. And what does he do.. Kills for money? Was there no other option. Well, I think for him he thought their wasn't , because in his mind he needed to keep up with the "Jones". He lived in a apartment way above his means, and gambled frequently. He had no job and was living off his student loans. His wedding was coming up, and money was needed to finance it.
So he was pushed to the brink over money, to impress, to be someone he was not. And now the bottom line is, he will never have money, and probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

Open Letter to Miss California,
Go back to California and live in your beauty pageant bubble, because it seems that is where you choose to live. If you did live in the real world, you would see its not all crowns and talent shows. News Flash for ya! People love other people not for their gender, but because of who they are inside. Stop preaching your preach, cause its repetitious. Marry the man of your dreams, build your big house with the white picket fence, and pray real hard, that your husband does not turn out to be Craiglist Killer, or a
Bernie Madoff, or a OJ Simpson, cause in life Miss Beauty Pageant, one never knows. Love is what you want it to be, what you feel in your heart. Gender is just a word. Perhaps if you lived outside your frilly bubble you could see this. And for the record, I am a republican and I am Catholic!

Hah I did it! Fist in the air! Cheering all around!

Ok going to read the blog post!

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lynn. Congrats on first. Tia got me up. I am going back to bed. Be back in an hour.

Good Morning everyone. Sorry I am not staying but I will return to the nest. I am feeling better.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Wow Carol ( had to go back and make sure Carol wrote this) LOL you were up with traveling thoughts weren't you?

Ok Swine flu yep it is here but take the same precautions you would with any contagious virus. My daughter works in our HMO and this is what they are telling people who call or come in. If you have the flu or flu symptoms and are not dehydrated or violently ill STAY HOME! Treat it like any flu and do not expose anyone else. If you are are so sick that you are dehydrated and non functioning, you will know the difference then go to the hospital not your doctors office!

You do not need Tamiflu unless you are hospitalized. It is for people who are already immunity compromised. The elderly and young children and anyone with chronic respritory problems or with diseases that compromise your immune system. Cancer, Aids etc...There is a shortage of Tamiflu and it is reserved for the worst cases and for medical staff that maybe exposed.

If you are concerned wash your hands frequently, wash any sufaces that may be germy with disinfectant and avoid enclosed places with lots of people.

While I did not appreciat VP Bidens wording at least he was honest about what he was telling his family. He is concerned like the rest of us but he could have toned it down a bit.

Once again we are faced with a common sense issue and for some reason it flies out the window when the 24 hour news cycle has to keep a running commentary to support their ratings.

splitting posts.

Lynn D said...

Craigslist killer well I am just mystified and really makes me ask the question "Do you know who you are sleeping with?"

Miss California is young and already filled with intolerence. She has the right to say how she feels and what she believes in this country but sadly she is so wrong!

If there are life lessons learned and Karma does exist I am thinking there will be a few divorces in her future as what we are intolerant about usally comes back to hit us upside the head. Could be a big smack down. Just sayin! My other thought on this issue is if we are all going to take advice from "Beauty Queens" well then I see a very sad future for us all! LOL

Oh crap I will probably get a Karma smack down for that comment!

Lynn D said...

Morning Tinka! Have a great rest and I hope to see you in the nest later.

Lynn D said...

Oh and Happy May Day everyone. There is a basket of flowers for each of you on the table in the corner!

Lynn D said...

Oh Carol I think Karma is already at work on Miss CA! I just read that a) She has breast implants and b) It is confirmed the Miss USA Pageant paid for them! LMAO So my conclusion she is a phoney, literally and the pageant was betting she was in the bag as it were to win! ROFLMAO!

Here is a sampling of the article on this breaking news story:

Friday morning a Miss California Pageant official confirmed previous reports that controversial contestant Carrie Prejean received free breast implants, organized and paid for by the pageant, weeks before the Miss USA competition.

In an interview on "The Early Show," Keith Lewis, the co-Director of the Miss California Pageant, admitted to helping Prejean get the boob job.

"We assisted when Carrie came to us and voiced the interest in having the procedure done," Lewis told "Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez.

"We want to put her in the best possible confidence in order to present herself in the best possible light on a national stage."

Yikes I guess it is my turn to scare everyone away! Hoot Hoot Hoot, Where is everyone?

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Congrats on 1st lynn.

OMG- you are Republican and Catholic and I love Carol?? Just Kidding- some of my favorite people and loved ones are Catholic and Republican. I don't believe in discrimination.......lol :)

I get your point though. As the mother of a flight attendant, I am worried to. I asked what precautions were being taken. They can were gloves and masks and not be reprimanded, also lots more germ killing stuff on board.

Craigslist killer?? This damn story just proved Mr. Goldies point, damnit. About meeting people online. Remember he was convinced that Jodi was some ax-murdered when we first met?? LOL

Miss California? Waste of time. Not worthy of my time and thoughts.

Hope everyone has a great day- and thanks for the support for Haley. The checks are going out in the mail, some lurkers have contacted me as well and one of YOU made my day today with your email!

Happy MAY DAY!!

bonachichi said...

Good morning LynnD, Tinkatia, Goldie, Carol and everyone arriving later.

Halejulah to Carol for saying things that needed to be said! I was cowardly and kept quiet about the Swine debacle. I was there, folks. I didn't see a single sick person. The 12 of us who had such a hard time getting home are fine. I don't want drama with my news, thanks. Just the facts.

Much as this Republican hates to say it, I think Biden was just a victim of the media. They're not journalists, they're predators.

Miss California? Well, we can all figure out where her brains are. They were implanted in her breasts. They can both count to 10 now.

It's a holiday in many places today. I'm going to ignore geography and observe a day off!

RonnieGirl said...

Good morning~Carol, Lynn, Tinka, Goldie, MEK, and Bonacci.

You ladies have expressed my feelings so well. As a matter of fact, I have had the flu since Wednesday night and doing exactally what I've always done in the past....sans masks. I like to think that I'm considerate enough to stay home and not expose anyone to my crud which is the right thing to do. The strain of flu that is being over-discussed for news ratings is not supposed to be a 'killer' unless one already has a compromised health situation.

I'm staying in, drinking fluids, taking Sinutabs, washing my hands and body alot, and avoiding the bad daytime television programs.

Goldie! I'm so glad to hear about Haley's improvenment, and keeping her in my prayers.

Hope all that fly in after me have a great day.

MEK in AZ said...

Happy MAY DAY!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Lynn - congrats on FIRST!! and TEN

Tinka - good morning - I know how you feel - my kitty cats were determined to NOT let me sleep this a.m. - Hope you were able to go back to sleep.

Ronnie - hope you feel better soon -

Goldie - waving Good Morning..

Bonacci - good morning..

Hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - MAY DAY is right!!

Yesterday, while grocery shopping for my mom - there was ONE lady walking around with her little blue mask on - she looked SO out of place!! I almost had to laugh...

Miss California would have been better off just giving the standard - "World Peace" answer!! OH MY - I knew the minute she opened her mouth that she "lost" the crown!!! I feel badly for the gal who won - cuz we aren't hearing anything about her!!

Craiglist guy - I can't believe the finance' is staying with him - is she insane!!!!!!!!!!!????

Joe Biden - well, I just have to grin - it's like everytime he opens his mouth, the white house has to back peddle!! I find him amusing......

Tinkatia said...

18 Good Morning Again.

Lynn I see you didn't go back to bed like I did. Sorry to have left you alone in the nest.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Goldie, Bonacci, Mek, and Ronnie.

I think I will march to 25 before I read the blog. Is that cheating? I hope not.

Tinkatia said...

Now, off to read the blog.

Tinkatia said...

Great blog Carol. I so agree with the media hype. Every year thousands die from the flu and it doesn't even make the back page. Now they all have us thinking it is 1918 all over again. I got a message from one of my Japanese students asking me in capital letters, "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT"? Apparently the news in Japan is that it is killing so many Canadians the Japanese parents are refusing to send their children here to University. I guess the news media frenzy is everywhere. I was even beginning to wonder if they were going to shut down the cruise lines. I will be so sad if I miss my trip this month.
I agree with your other two issues too. It's a great blog Sweetie.

sacBarb said...

Happy Friday and May Day owls.

Carol, Perfect topic for today.

Poor Joe Biden just seems to open his mouth to change feet. However, I saw the interview on the Today show and it started with the question "shouldn't we close our boarders?" He answered "which boarder should we close, because the flu is now found in Europe and Canada and other countries besides Mexico." If he stopped there he would have been OK. As soon as he said the bit about planes and subways, I knew we were in for a media blitz. :0)

I agree with Goldie about Miss CA. Not worth my time. It is a little embarrassing that she is 'representing' my state, however.

The lawyer for the Craigslist fiancee was also on Today and he said the fiancee visited him in jail, the wedding is canceled of course, but she is moving on. Meredith tried to press him for more info, like does that mean she is going to date other men and does she still think he is innocent. The lawyer talked about all the evidence and while he never exhibited any of those traits, she can't ignore them. So it sounds like she has accepted the facts.

Tinkatia said...

Great medical advice Lynn. Thanks for the reassurance.

sacBarb said...

Waving at LynnD, #1 this morning, Tinka, nice march to 25, Goldie, Bonacci, MEK, lucky # FORETEEN, Carol and all who land later.

Tinkatia said...

Mek - I got back to a 'twilight sleep' which I guess is another way of saying "I rested". When I just had Tango she never made a sound until I opened my eyes. Now Tia is a "horse of a different colour". She thinks the world did not exist until she came along. I love her enthusiasm for life however. I am feeling better today so I didn't mind getting up early.

Birdee - I hope your 'fur babies are feeling better today.

Tinkatia said...

Goldie - I will continue prayers for Haley. I hope she has a good day.

Tinkatia said...

I am getting a new bath tub today. I am sitting at the window waiting for the men to arrive. They said 8:30.

Waving a wing at SacBarb, Oh here they are. Be back later.

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, LynnD! LOL@ Karma smackdown!

Carol, I hope your head is clearer today. I'm sorry all that stuff kept you up last night.

I only worry for my parents if the swine flu comes our way.

Joe Biden just has a way of putting his foot in his mouth but I do like him and I think it would be so fun to spend a day with him--he just seems like such a nice guy and really funny.

Miss California had a boob job that the pageant paid for??? That's just wrong. She's young and her brain isn't fully developed yet. That's the nicest thing I can say about her. :)

I'm cleaning today--yuck. The pool is calling me but when I went to put my swim suit on, it fell right off! LOL Hmmmm, no swimsuit--guess I'll have to call Zona to find out what I do about that--I've heard she has lots of ideas for pool activities.

Sandie said...

Oops, forgot to comment on Craigslist dude. Ewww. His fiance better wake up and smell the dead body. I understand it may be hard to believe at first that someone you love could do such a thing, but when they found items belonging to the victims in his apartment .... pretty hard to explain THAT away.

Tinka, I'm so glad you're feeling better! Enjoy your new tub.

Sacbarb, from area 51, I'm okay as the Mom of a new teenager. But, I did have to have an "it isn't all about you" talk with her yesterday as she seems to think her wish is my every command. :/

Sandie said...

Goldie, I'm on it. Poop Prayer Patrol.

Zona said...

Happy Friday Everyone!

CPGEM: This swine flu thing is getting on my nerves already. They've closed four schools here because of it. Our Emergency Rooms are packed with people who are coming in to be tested just because they are coughing. I think this is the media's fault too. They grab a story and run with it, not thinking or caring about the panic they may be causing. It's crazy.

I haven't paid enough attention to the Miss America thing. I know what she said, or tried to say. As my mom used to say "Consider the source" and ignore her.

The "Craig's List Killer"...I haven't heard about that at all. I'll have to go read more about it. From what you've written, it sounds like someone put money above a human life. That is just so sad..

Loved your blog today CPGEM, it sure had some 'bite' to it!! :D

Just_Lin said...

Sandie OMG!!!! ROFLMAO @ wake up and smell the dead body!!!! I'll write the rest of my post as soon as I stop laughing so hard!

Zona said...

LYNND: Congrats on FIRST on May Day!

RONNNNIEEE!!: I sure hope you feel better asap! My SIL thinks that it's ok to visit etc. when she is sick because "we are family and we share everything..even our germs". WTC?!!

MEK: I never found what I was looking for yesterday, so it's off to Michaels and Jo-Anns to replace it. Oh darn.. ;)

TINKA: Enjoy your new tub..and let us know how the workmen compare to SACBARB's!!

HI SACBARB!! MUAH! :D

SANDIE: I kinda like Biden too. LOL at your dropping suit..I think you may just need a new one! I have to peel mine off..ijs.. ;)

GOLDIE: Nikki is at the vet..I'll let you know how she did with her lessons! ;)

BONACCI: I agree..facts no drama..

GOLDIE & JODI: Doing my best not to be postally challenged this weekend!! :)

Zona said...

J/L: Breathe..breathe...lol..need an inhaler?? I have plenty! ;)

Sandie said...

See, J/L? I told you that you have the same sick sense of humor. :0

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Sandie - I am sorry I missed wishing Aubrey a Happy Birthday. Give her a hug for me.

Sandie said...

Thank you, Tinka! I will.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Zona-My-Baby-
My workmen is pretty cute. I will have to go back and check out the story of SacBarb's workmen. I missed reading a lot of comments.

Just_Lin said...

Zona Thanks, but I have my own inhalers. :)

LynnD Congrats on #1. I saw a show once about the beauty contestants from Brazil. It is standard procedure there to do whatever plastic surgery is necessary to make their representative to the world stage as "perfect" as possible. So what happened in Calif. is not unique, unfortunately. Pretty soon it will just be a contest to see who has the best plastic surgeon.

Carol That was a great blog. I could feel your agitation in your words. A friend and I were just remarking about the media hype re: this flu. They must have hated it that they had to drop the word "swine" and start calling it H1N1 (I think that's what it is). They'd rather call it the Black Plague and make a REALLY big story out of it. I don't know why it's any different than any other flu that we've had.

The Craig's List Killer is news because he is such a normal looking pre-med student. I must say, his fiance is really lucky that this came out now, as difficult as it is, because he's the kind of guy that would have killed her and their children when his finances fell apart. That's how weak he is.

Tinka I'm so glad you are feeling better. Give us a report on your delivery guys.

Goldie I don't discriminate against Republicans and Catholics, either. :)

Bonacci LOL @ where Miss California's brains are. I wonder which boob got the artistic side?

Ronnie So good to see you here, today. I hope you get over your crud soon.

MEK That's a great point! The girl who actually won isn't getting any attention at all and she is probably feeling like she was really the second choice. That's unfortunate.

SacBarb LOL @ Joe Biden changing feet!

Sandie Still laughing over the dead body. :D

Zona Sorry you are still missing that item. Did Nikki fess up?

Just_Lin said...

Tinka Congrats on your marches to 25 and 50! I almost ran you down! Sorry!

Sandie Yes, definitely the same type of sense of humor! BTW, your lovely necklace is now in my hot little hands. :)

Lynn D said...

Just Flying though! Thank goodness I did not scare everyone away! LOL

I have found out what being Director means. Paper work, more paper work and everlasting paper work.

Good lord how does this country run without all the freaking surveys and projected budgets that every damn organiztion wants.

I have started to put "We feed them because they are hungry" on every damn survey!

My fault! Who knew I was walking into the end of the biennium? Lord I have to predict how many people we will feed in 2010 and 2011 to keep our state funding. How the hell should I know? What am I the Great Karnac?

I really want to write more than last year for 2010, and with a wish and prayer less in 2011 if the economy turns around.

Ok back to paper work.

Rant off!

Also praying for poop but not putting that on the paper work.

Just_Lin said...

LynnD My suggestion is to research what they are thinking will happen with the unemployment rates in your state, and however those projections compare to 2008, you need to increase your numbers by the same percent.

whabbear said...

Carol, Bravo, Bravo! I've said it before, but it's worth repeating:

I second Goldie's remarks! I am SO COMFORTED by the knowledge that there are religious republicans out there who are supportive of us! We shall ALL overcome some day, and by working to change attitudes from the inside, you can help, perhaps way more than we liberal dems have the power to do.

So, kudos to you, Carol, Bon, Mary/MI, MEK, and all the other RR owls (although Bonacci may just be Republican, and not religious... I'm not sure)!! :)

Tinkatia said...

My new bath tub looks great. I am off for a nap.

Ronnie - Sorry I forget to mention your being sick. I didn't see it when I quickly read through the comments. I hope you get better soon. ((((Hugs))))

scirish said...

Whew!!! Way to go Carol!!! I can't tell you how many conflicting reports I have read on this Flu business. I'm concerned for my Mother, who has severe asthma, and the fact that a family member was on a plane on Tues. Granted he was no where near Mexico, but I have no idea if there were people on that plane who had been. This flu is supposed to be primarily respiratory and something like that is very dangerous for her. I need FACTS, not alarmist bulls**t. For now, Mom will be staying in the house and the rest of us will be washing the skin off our hands.

sacBarb said...

J/L, I'm an equal opportunity employer.

scirish said...

I really feel sorry for the Fiance of the Craigslist killer, I cannot imagine finding out the guy you loved was a killer.

As for Miss CA, I heard the she was going to join the campaign against gay marriage. And here is a excerpt (from Perez Hilton's website) on how she plans on doing just that:

"VAN SUSTEREN: What is your thought on civil unions?

PREJEAN: My thought on civil unions? You know what, Greta? I don't have the answers to everything. I'm not running for political office. I don't have the answers to everything, you know, in the world out there.

But I think that there should be rights for people, you know, especially in California. I think that people that are homosexual should have some rights, you know, hospital rights, and things like that.

But I would like to be more educated on that, so when I do have a better answer for you, I will get back to you on that one.

But so far I just support traditional marriage, and that's my main focus.

VAN SUSTEREN: What about adoption?

PREJEAN: Greta, I am focusing on marriage right now, not adoption, not civil unions, just traditional marriage, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to promote that."

Scary!

Just_Lin said...

scirish I understand your concern. My mom lives in SoCal (uh,oh) and has emphasyma. She has always been very good about washing her hands after going to the store or pushing a grossry cart. I'm concerned whenever there is a bad respiratory flu going around, regardless of what name they give it. I think the news people really enjoy acting like they are giving us life or death information. BTW, I have asthma as does my son, so the flu can be especially hard on us, too.

Just_Lin said...

scirish Thanks for the interview excerpt. She sounds like a total idiot!

SacBarb Double the pleasure, double the fun! LOL

scirish said...

J/L....I do know what you mean...I have had pneumonia twice and have a difficult time with respiratory illnesses myself. I am concerned about Mom though as she had some issues already this Spring and I thought we would have to go to the ER. If she were to have those issues again I'm not sure what the safest thing to do would be. I'm just angry that everything is a clear as mud.

scirish said...

My turn to clear the room!!!!

Shirley Thanks for the update!

EBJ Wow! Look at you and all the 69's. You go, girl!

Tina~in_ut said...

Carol~ Fantabulous blog~ as always~ This flu thing is a JOKE!!! My hubby took 7 students to Mexico IN MARCH!!!! He got a phone call from a butthole parent yesterday who had his daughter at the doctor's office and he wanted to know when he brought those kids back from Mexico!!! paranoid!!! And my older son's school is closed today and Monday because of a flu scare....not even confirmed....and it isn't even a student/teacher who is sick. It's all completely out of hand!!!! And I could kick Joe Biden.....the man is an idiot....but the press is worse~ Thankfully, I've had very few calls at work about the flu.

Now that Craigslist killer is just an idiot....will have to pray for the fiance~

Barbie, I mean Miss California is in for a rude awakening if she ever enters the real world~ I think maybe they should pop those boobs and maybe her brain will start working again~ ijs~

Carol~ I didn't realize you are Catholic and Republican.....wow....me too...but I've been thinking lately about becoming Jewish....I don't know why~ hmmmmmmm~ :)~ (that was for you, Mo!)

Tina~in_ut said...

Lynn D~ congrats on first~ As always, you and Goldie (twins in my eyes) are spot on!~

Bonacci~ in answer to ur question from yesterday....i love being creative....i love scrapbooking....some days it just comes to me...and other days, i produce crap~ And I don't do Eunice, DeeDee does...and she's frickin' creative~ I think if you want to do it, you just do~ Don't worry about your map reading....I used to have the best sense of direction and could read any map....now....i'm lucky to make it somewhere without at least making one wrong turn~

Tina~in_ut said...

Good May Day to everyone else~ I'm still kinda outta it....just got up~ lol~ I think I need to shower and get a DP in me~ (That's a Diet Pepsi....nothing pornish...although I did think of one!) lol~

bonachichi said...

Tina, I have little systems for dealing with stuff that confuses me. I use a GPS device often. Sometimes I get mad at it because the stupid b##ch gives me directions I know are bad.So I yell at her. A cop saw me do this once and stopped me. Where am I headed? Don't know. Where was I? Don't know. Do I know why I've been stopped? Nope. Would I mind taking a sobriety test? Gee. Go to jail, or take the test. Gotta think on that one.

night.owls.sb said...

Howdy to all!

Lynnd..Happy 1 :O)

lol....sorry to lol...but that was funny Bonacci~ My friends used GPS in Italy....it took them thru this tunnel....and both sides of the car scraped the sides....CUZ IT WAS A BIKE TUNNEL!!!! They went back the next day to see if the GPS would take them the same way, and sure enough....it did....of course, they didn't go thru it again~ So how was jail?

Lani said...

I guess I shouldn't be laughing, but the way you wrote the blog cracks me up Carol. I am so sorry your flu wasn't mentioned on the news as it is very newsworthy LOL.

I really did catch your drift in what you are saying and I mostly agree.

I have only read down to LYNN & GOLDIE and again I am laughing.All of you have such great wit.

I am going to call my manager at the veterinary clinic and tell him he owes me very large implants.

night.owls.sb said...

I only have 1 to post first, I must really try harder. ;O)

night.owls.sb said...

So I read this 2day and it totally gets my goat..

The swine flu virus that has frightened the world is beginning to look a little less ominous.

New York City officials reported Friday that the swine flu still has not spread beyond a few schools. In Mexico, very few relatives of flu victims seem to have caught the virus.

One flu expert says there’s no reason to believe the new virus is a more serious strain than seasonal flu. And a federal health official said the new flu virus doesn’t appear to have genes that made the 1918 pandemic flu strain so deadly.

TinaHO!

Where the heck did you come from?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Carol, as always a very expressive and insightful blog!

There have been a few cases of the swine flue reported in Nova Scotia, but I haven't ran out and bought a hazmat suit just yet.

Regarding Miss California...I got nothing to say.

Haven't heard that much about the craigslist killer. I have been quite busy and haven't listened much to the news.

Tax season is now finally over. I have survived. Tomorrow night we (the 3 offices that are owned by the same person)are all suppose to meet out of town at a chinese restaurant. I don't really want to go but it's one of those things you can't really get out of. So I'll go. Then I can come home and hybernate till next tax season.

night.owls.sb said...

Yes, Whabby, I am a religious republican.. Do I get a prize?

Tina~in_ut said...

Well, not everything, I have to keep some of my porn to myself, or all these crazy owls will want some..

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

bonachichi said...

TINK - I am glad you are feeling better. Enjoy your bathtub HUNK.

Off to shop with Little Tina~

kahonugrl said...

ok for those who know me I am a big fur bud (dogs) person, and had not brought myself to find a 4 legged bud since putting down my Champ Scully.

Well tonight I become the owner of a 1/2 Black Lab 1/2 ? (Goldie says love, and I loved that answer) named Hoku. Hoku means star in Hawaiian. She is a well behaved, funny, tail wagging dog.

For those of you with Facebook I posted pics last night, and I am sure I will be posting to MySpace soon.

Yay~ I don't have to cuddle with a f'n pillow anymore...lol

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle...

Excuse me, well, what nerve, facebook first?????

night.owls.sb said...

Oh and btw..

Congrats on Hoku, she will love you just as you will love her..

Perfect!

:O)

kahonugrl said...

Carol: go check ur cell~

you we're first in that does that count for something?

kahonugrl said...

??? Can you get picture texts??

sacBarb said...

Turtle, Congrats on getting a new fur bud. Can't wait to see a pic on MYSPACE. I'm sure you will have many years of happiness with each other.

bonachichi said...

Just now had an earthquake in SoCal. Let the media hype begin....

sacBarb said...

We are getting crazy rain here. I guess it's good cause all the weather folks say we need it. My gutters must need cleaning, cause they are overflowing. :( Wait, maybe I can get another hunky to clean them for me. :)

kahonugrl said...

4.4 is a martini shaker isn't it?

we had a couple of 3.8's here in Hawaii today, you never hear about ours cause all it does is knock the rocks into the bamboo.

sacBarb said...

Just re-read my post about the gutters. I'm not sure if I wanted to say 'another hunk' or a 'hunky guy.' Either way, you get the picture.

bonachichi said...

Kgrl; Yeah. It was a 4.somethin' I think. Just enough to make you watch and enjoy the ride. At least maybe now we won't have to hear so much about the flu.

kahonugrl said...

any damage?

4.4 6 miles SW of Westlake Village

3.5 6 miles ESE of Maricopa

3.5 9 miles N of Morgan Hill

Kinda on the strong side of minor....is it a concern?

bonachichi said...

SacBarb, you could help pay for all the fixes by setting up a webcam and charging gawker fees while you're having work done.

bonachichi said...

Kgrl; I live IN Westlake Village. No damage. Congrats on your new family member, BTW!

Thinking of it, we don't hear much about Hawaii earthquakes but I know you have them. Why is that? We hear about your hurricanes & volcanoes.

Maureen said...

K-GIRL...gratz on HOKU! Even your pup is pornish...HOku!! She is a lucky pup to have you as a mommy! Give her a belly rub from Auntie Pua'a!

LYNN...1st! you go girl! How is anything supposed to get accomplished when so much time is wasted, I mean spent, on paperwork and meetings! Oy! And you are so freaking funny!

SACBARB and TINKA...the battle of the Hunky Handymen! Bring it on!!

SANDIE...2 words...skinny dip!!

CAROL...you captured my thoughts again! Miss Boobie from CA is ridiculous...plain and simple. I heard her on some show and all she kept saying is she wants to protect marriage??? From what?? How in the fuck does a marriage between 2 men or 2 women threaten hetero marriage????? WTF?????? She is just a boob!

And the flu...the frenzy the media caused is far worse then the actual pandemic. A patient called the on call nurse and wanted a visit today because his temperature was...99!!

TINA...you're not Jewish????? Why didn't you ever tell me that? Oy Vey!!

SHIRLEY...thanks for the stats! I am sucking in soooo many catagories! Go and enjoy the outing. And if ya want, you can bring leftovers to the nest and we can all have Chinese food together!!

bbl

kahonugrl said...

MoHO....LMAO I have a porn ppup.....

Bonacci: We get them all the time becuase of erupting volcano on the Big Island and the constant shifting. Ill tell ya what tho, I never wanna be in a 7.2 again. That scare the doodoo outta me when that happened. Watching my house shake on its stilts was something to see.

East Bay J said...

Hey hooters!

Congrats to Lynn for being 1st today!

Kgirl, I'm sooo happy for you... a new furbaby. I hope you have years of happiness with Hoku.

By the way I LOVE the name.

MR. EBJ went today to pick up Paula at the clinic. It was sad when I got home to see her little cedar box.

MR. EBJ put her next to our Lilly. Our vet makes beautiful little footprint ornaments for the animals that pass, so now we have 2.

I will put a pic on MS this weekend (or is that too morbid?)

Shortly after the MR. got home, the vet clinic called back and said they have an orphan kitten that they are bottle feeding, that looks a lot like Paula, and would we be interested??

eeeks. I've been resistant and I can feel I'm losing and will give in.

HELP!

Anyway, the blog today was wonderful. I was at work today and I was talking with some of the drs. They all feel there is way too much hype about the swine flu, the media just blow it way out of proportion.

Miss California, it's all been said.

The Craigslist killer, I was trying to imagine what it would be like his fiancee.

I decided that it would be normal at first to want to stick by him. After all, you "know" him better than anyone else, he has never exhibited any activity close to a killer, etc.

I think she is going through stages, like with the stages of grief/tragedy/death. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

As more and more proof comes to light, she will move through the stages and accept it.

I kind of chuckles when I read that the wedding had been postponed. I think my reaction was DAH!

I need to catch up on yesterdays blog too!

Be back later!

East Bay J said...

Shirley, thank you for all the stats, you are AMAZING!

I am winning in the first to not post first category lol

Kgirl is right on my tail for the 69s!!
