Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[BigDaddyRog]

Lifes rough, huh Jim? :)

[Gatordad]

I'm already in your TT so would you bring me too? Assuming I stay in a different loop?

You would be in the Pete loop with the rest of the honored people.

Well, MY day was interesting. We have BATS in our new house :scared1: Last night the kids heard some squealing in family room at the peak of the house where the biggest log support is. I thought maybe it was just the ceiling fan. Then this morning near the window was something that looked like mouse droppings. :headache: We had some 60 mph winds come through last night and I was hoping maybe the wind got up there and just blew some "old" stuff in. WRONG.

My mom and stepdad, and dad and stepmom were all over this afternoon to see the new house. We are showing them around the first floor when my oldest started SCREAMING "there's a BAT in my room". So everyone runs upstairs and sure enough, there is a dead bat lying on her bedroom floor. We think maybe the cat killed it last night while we were sleeping and was bringing it out to show us her "kill". :eek:

On top of that....our dog found a pile of CRAP outside and decided it would be fun to roll around in it !! :mad:

I am so ready to go to bed and put this day behind me. I have to be up at 3:30am tomorrow morning so we can be at the school by 4:15 and get on the buses. After stopping at the Flight 93 memorial and Gettysburg we should be at our hotel tomorrow night by 10:00. I'm have my laptop with me ;)

[ntsammy5]

I'me not even gonna try to comment on that day!

[AuburnJen92]

Wow Shannone, yuck doesn't even justify that. Do they have local bat removal service in your area? I know down here in Florida, the people that remove bats go all over the country. Apparently it is not an easy job to get them to stay out because of the scent markings. I wish you well. If you can't find someone up there, let me know with a pm and I can give you the number of the experts down here.

I did a whole bunch of nothing this weekend and loved it. (Took DS to a birthday party, but other than that, nothin') Now, DH is off for two days and work begins tomorrow. (DH gets to watch DS) Tomorrow is finding out why the golf cart trailer has a flat and why I have a vibration with my brand spanking new tires on my jeep at 52mph. Oh, and I have to remake my mickey lamp globes.

[LONE-STAR]

We took out our new TT this weekend for the first time. We went to the beach. Had a great time. But man I am tired. My parent came down and stayed with us. On the way home they had a blow out so they called triple A. They where told it would be 3 hrs before someone would be there.:mad: So me and the DW turned around and changed there tire man it was HOT.

I know this isn't funny, Shannone---- but all I could think about was the squirrel in the Christmas tree in Christmas Vacation.

Where's Cousin Eddie when you need him?? Doesn't he eat this kind of stuff???

[terri01p]

My sister had what she thought was a bat in her attic, come to find out it was over 100 bats :scared1:

Good luck on clearing up that problem, it's illegal to kill them here, and she could not get them to leave for nothing, first you have to find where they are coming in and out of....your going to have a problem for a long while, sorry about that, it's horrible and scary. :scared1:

[You need to get the pooped cleaned by a professional and get rid of them quickly....the feces carries a deadly disease!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I don't mean to scare the bejeezes out of you but I found this out when my son was working at a camp and had to sweep a lot of it from a gym that had been closed up over winter and they had gotten in...please be careful. Mask and gloves have to be worn,,,even the "dust" from the dried feces can be dangerous!!!!!!!!!!

Shannone- Good luck! Sheesh, you'd think the previous owners would disclose something like that! Here's praying that it will all be over by the time you get back! Have fun on your trip! Gettysburg is great, as well as DC! I hope it's wonderful!


Seabee- How's Jim? How are YOU holding up? Have you checked into that campground yet? Is there anything you need that WE could help you with? I know you are all the way up in Maine and all....but a care package? Something? I feel so helplessly wanting to help you, here!

Is there any such thing as bat insurance?! Ugh. I can't imagine having bats. Rats are bad enough down here.

All summer I get the fine job of hauling myself out of bed at 6:20am to get both my kids to 7:00am swim practice. Every weekday. Swim meets are even worse on weekends. I didn't even get up that early during the school year. It would be the one sport both my kids absolutely love. Shoot me now.

[terri01p]

WRERE ? WHERE ? Were the double stuffed??

YES they were double stuffed...heehee...you can google it and read the story...lol :rotfl2:

[VACAMPER]

I love my kids but sometimes don't ya just want to stay home and not run to ballgames. I thought we were done for the year and then my DD12 makes the volleyball team. Now its practices all summer and games until the end of oct. We are proud of her 30 some girls tried out for 6 slots and she got one. We live out in the boonies so gas is not helping this matter since her school is in town. One of these days i'll probably wish she was still at home and running to ball games though.

[des1954]

I just wish I had palm trees in my yard.

I wish I had a HUGE Maple Tree, a McIntosh Apple Tree, a blue spruce pine, and a cherry tree in my yard. And a yard large enough to hold these trees.

Okay, so I jinxed myself. Last night we spent 2 hours in the basement because of water. Thank goodness DS was down there and noticed it early. Our sump pump clogged and water started coming in. If anyone sees the news, MSNBC has it on. Lake Delton in central Wisconsin has gone over it's banks and is flowing into the Wisconsin River. Houses are being washed into the river. We are supposed to go camping up there this weekend for a family reunion. The campground has called because they were hit really bad with the storms and will let us know if they can accomodate us later in the week. The state is really a mess right now!

Wow! I'm so sorry to hear this. I read where Michigan (near Grand Rapids) got hit pretty hard with flooding too. I hope your home is okay. Was DH able to fix the pump? Or by that time...did it even matter? Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Colson39]

So, how many of you have been affected by the tomato recall? We went out to lunch today at work, and we couldn't order anything at the restaurant that was tomato based, and there were no tomatoes on our salads.

I just read a couple hours ago that McDonalds has now stopped using sliced tomatoes nationwide, and that Winn Dixie and other chains are pulling all tomatoes from their stores.

To be honest, I had no clue it was even going on, but my friend said that he went to two grocery stores looking for tomatoes and couldn't find any. It was funny listening to the waiter tell us no we couldn't have any chili because it was tomato based, crazy times.

[terri01p]

Oh my gosh, I had bo ideal but we were all wondering why we went to Taco Bell for lunch and no one had tomatoes on their tacos. :idea:

[clkelley]

There was a sign at Burger King at lunch today. No tomatos. I ordered a fish sandwich instead. Can't have a burger or chicken sandwich without a tomato!!!

[Colson39]

Yea, I'm surprised that the mainstream news isn't picking up more on this story, I mean to me, the fact that mainstream restaurants and chains are not serving them, and that grocery stores are pulling them from shelves, I just don't know why it's not all over the news.

Remember when there was a salad recall a while ago? That was all over the news, and I still barely see this story on any of the main news sites. I don't really understand what gives with this, why isn't this more of a story?

I would hate to own an Italian restaurant right now, that's for sure...lol

[BigDaddyRog]

Ive heard nothing about this....why no tomatos???

[des1954]

What's going on with the tomatoes?? I just bought some at a road-side stand. Roh-roe, Rastro!!!

[Marek 4]

I know here in Texas there is a big tomato recall due to a salmonella (sp?) outbreak that has been linked to tomatoes. You can't find any at the store or at restaurants right now. There are 2 girls on my daughter's gym team that they believe got the illness from eating tomatoes.

[Colson39]

Yea, there have been 143 cases of salmonella since April, including 23 that sent people to the hospital. It's been traced back to bad tomatoes from some places, but they're not sure exactly where, so now places are starting to pull them until they can figure it out.

It's not all tomatoes, and it depends on where they're from. I do know that Florida is a large tomato producing state, and that Florida is one of the states that they haven't ruled out yet.

Here is an article...

http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html

The Food and Drug Administration is alerting consumers nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak appears to be linked to consumption of certain types of raw red tomatoes and products containing raw red tomatoes. The bacteria causing the illnesses are Salmonella serotype Saintpaul, an uncommon type of Salmonella.

The specific type and source of tomatoes are under investigation. However, preliminary data suggest that raw red plum, raw red Roma, or raw round red tomatoes are the cause. At this time, consumers should limit their tomato consumption to tomatoes that have not been implicated in the outbreak. These include cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, and tomatoes grown at home.

The Food and Drug Administration has expanded its warning to consumers nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak has been linked to consumption of certain raw, red tomatoes.

At this time, FDA is advising consumers to limit their consumption of tomatoes to the following types of tomatoes. The following types of tomatoes listed below are NOT likely to be the source of this outbreak.

* cherry tomatoes
* grape tomatoes
* tomatoes sold with the vine still attached
* tomatoes grown at home

Also, FDA recommends consuming raw red plum, raw red Roma, or raw red round tomatoes only if grown and harvested from the following areas that HAVE NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTBREAK:

Arkansas
California
Georgia
Hawaii
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas

Belgium
Canada
Dominican Republic
Guatemala
Israel
Netherlands
Puerto Rico

Consumers who are unsure of where the tomatoes are from that they have in their home are encouraged to contact the store or place of purchase for that information.

Consumers should also be aware that raw tomatoes are often used in the preparation of fresh salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo, are part of fillings for tortillas, and are used in other dishes.

Restaurants, grocery stores, and food service operators have been advised by the FDA not to offer for sale or service raw red plum, Roma, or red tomatoes and products made from these types of tomatoes unless they are from one of the areas listed above.

Since mid April, there have been 145 reported cases of salmonellosis nationwide caused by Salmonella Saintpaul, an uncommon form of Salmonella. At least 23 hospitalizations have been reported.

[BigDaddyRog]

Wow...cookies and beer are filling the streets, limitless heights on the price of fuel, gators are over running the fort, and now killer tomatoes......it looks like the peacocks have been hard at work with World Domination scheme.

I know they did offer something for broken arms...maybe you could just put that on her foot. Although I should tell you it wasn't that great..and I would imagine with the foot, it would be ALOT more difficult to prevent the water from getting in if she were going into the pool or bath. Probably shower..and sprinkler to cool off for now. Hope she's feeling better soon.

Get your brains out of the toilet. My DD has stitches in her foot. She is not supposed to emerge them in the water. Given that its 90 million degrees outside and we have a pool, she wants to go swimming. I've tried waterproof bandages, but the proximity of the stitches to her toes makes them hard to use and stay on. Sooooooo.......is there such a thing as a rubber sock?????? Like a rubber glove, but for feet????? We've tried plastic bags, but they don't stay on too well either. I'm thinking a rubber sock would be perfect.

Your DD needs one of these. I had it for my two previous foot surgeries and I used it when my son sliced his hand open on my fabric die cutters. I am more than willing to loan it to you or you can go to the local podiatrist and pick one up.

i would think that those wouldn't work because they do let water in, they are like a wet suit, keep the feet warm, but not necessarily dry

Like a rubber glove, but for feet????? We've tried plastic bags, but they don't stay on too well either. I'm thinking a rubber sock would be perfect.

At least their not in her hair and she can't wash it!:lmao:(only Ami will understand)

Get your brains out of the toilet. My DD has stitches in her foot. She is not supposed to emerge them in the water.

Saran wrap and duct tape!!!!!

[auntie]

As I said earlier..maybe you could go to your local pharmacy..or even a medical suppy would be better. They did have something that my daughter was able to put over her arm when it was casted. She broke it on Father's day a few years back..and then we had SIX WEEKS of a cast in the heat of a summer. Maybe you'd be able to use it on her foot. I'd try it on the good foot first..and see that it worked before chancing it on the stitched foot. Hope this helps. ;)

[PolynesianPixie]

Your DD needs one of these. I had it for my two previous foot surgeries and I used it when my son sliced his hand open on my fabric die cutters. I am more than willing to loan it to you or you can go to the local podiatrist and pick one up.

That is so sweet! I'll check out the local places around here and let you know if I find something like that! Thank you!

Annalise is swimming now. I put on one of those waterproof bandages, plus water resistant wrap. It won't last long, but maybe long enough? The girls and Scott are out there waiting on Stellaluna ( a bat that comes to drink from the pool at dusk)....makes me think of poor Shannone!

Good nite all.

[We4mickey]

Thanks for the well wishes guys. We were fortunate with the amount of water we had. We are 2 hours away from where the lake emptied out into the WI River. They just showed it on the news again and the lake is completely empty. We were supposed to go there this weekend for our reunion. The good news is I think I got the last dehumidifier in the area :) . We are the lucky ones, many have had to leave their homes. This is a picture of what is left of some homes on Lake Delton.http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/photographer/23/23057_large.jpg

[seabee]

Seabee- How's Jim? How are YOU holding up? Have you checked into that campground yet? Is there anything you need that WE could help you with? I know you are all the way up in Maine and all....but a care package? Something? I feel so helplessly wanting to help you, here!


Thanks for thinking of us. Jim is alright. Right now we are just waiting for surgery on Thursday. I am quite irritated however that he is starting to get "spots" on his butt. He has been injured now for 5 years, and we had not ONE mark on his skin. I am the butt nazi so to speak, and now he is getting the starting of sores.:furious: The problem is that I haven't been there as much for the last 3 days. I think the nurses have gotten use to me being there and turning him. I told his nurse tonight that I wanted him turned every 2 hours. I told her, I haven't had anything on his skin in 5 years, we aren't starting now. Of course he is in his chair all the time here, and not laying in a bed. And we also found out that the doctor isn't going to be able to get both kidney's done in one swoop, so it looks like possibly 2 more surgeries after this one.:faint: I want him to come home, I just feel like being in that bed for so long is going to lead to other problems that we don't need. I can't wait for school to be done so that I can be more on top of what is going on down there.

I did check into the campground. Range Pond Campground in Poland, ME.The camper is there right now actually. We figured it was actually cheaper for us to reserve the site for 6 weeks starting now, and not use it every night, then it would be to get a hotel room for the nights I would need until the girls are out of school. The campground is nothing spectacular but it is nice, and there are a lot of kids. Our site is huge, you probably could fit 2 trailers there. I will have to take a pic when we are finally "moved" in. I have to get a new rug to put under the awning. Any suggestions where I can get one for not an astronomical price? I checked Wal-Mart today but they didn't have any.

[BigDaddyRog]

Wow....Im hating that they arent giving him as good of care as YOU give him. Thats what they have been trained to do, thats what they get paid to do...why arent they doing it???? I mean, they should be thankful that YOU catch their slack when you ARE there, cant they do their part when you CANT be there???? This is pretty disturbing. Im so sorry they are treating ya'll this way.

[BigDaddyRog]

I havent heard from John in a couple of days now....anyone know anything? Do I remember him saying something about putting the liquor into the camper and heading off to somewhere??

[des1954]

Nicole-

As I was reading your message about Jim, I was having "flash-backs" to caring for my mom. She had surgery on her spine for cancer and the nurses at the "care-less" re-hab center she went to following surgery did not properly treat her incision site and it started to infect after only 3 days!! I created quite an ugly scene with the head nurse and the director of the re-hab center and...voila! She started getting the care she needed. It makes me sick to think of people who have no family to watch over them and how some health care professionals ultimately ignore them.

You have to be on the ragged edge by now, Nicole. I wish there were some way I could help ease your burden. I will be praying for your whole family, and especially Jim. Thank you for keeping us posted.

:hug:

[des1954]

There was footage on last night's news of a lovely home somewhere in Wisconsin that was swept away in a river. It was horrifying to watch someone's whole home and possessions disappear in 1 minute or less. Last year here in Lakeland, Fl, a very large lake disappeared due to a sink hole. No homes were lost, but they did show film footage of lake critters getting sucked into the sinkhole. It was awful.

I'm so glad that things were not so desperate for you & yours.

[VACAMPER]

Nicole, hang in there girl. If they don't start taking better care of him let us all know. We'll carpool up and put some sores on their butts.

Lynn and George...glad to hear your home isn't damaged too badly from the flooding. That picture is really something...just terrible. Hope you are safe and that things improve for you.

Nicole...thoughts and prayers still headed up your way. We've had some similiar situations with my dad being paralyzed..and it's tough to keep on top of the sores. It really doesn't take to long for them to develop. They can be a nightmare. Will be thinking of you both on Thursday..as everday, praying that Jim will be returning home as soon as possible and your family reunited.:hug:

Nicole: we are thinking of you and praying for you, wish we could do more. I hope you have some close by support. Be sure to ask them for help when you need it.

[seabee]

Thanks guys. I didn't mean to sound so negative. I just reread my post. All though that was an accurate recap of the evening. I think the fact that we had a nurse we don't like added to it. She is nice enough, but she comes across as high and mighty to me. Like she knows more about Jim than I do because I don't have RN after my name. Except for the turning issue he really is getting good care. Better than the VA that's for sure. So we "enlightened" them and I hope it will be better. I also had to fight to have him taken off a heart pill. For a while after his first surgery his blood pressure was REALLY high, which is normal for quads when they have pain past their injury level. So they put him on a pill to control it. Well, he has calmed down now and they are still giving it to him. But he is acting all drunk and loopy. Which is fine on a weekend at a BBQ but not now.:) Last night his blood pressure was pretty low, and THE nurse was going to give it to him again, I wouldn't let her. So now it says on his report that I refused the pill for him. Whatever. His doc came in this morning and took him off it. :laughing: Stupid nurse. One more thing for her not to like me about.:laughing: He just called me and he has one of the nurses we really like today so all should be good. To be honest I think there are only 2 that we don't care for, so that isn't bad, and the docs are superb. Sorry to go on and on. I haven't talked to many people lately.:) Thanks again guys!!

Ami-I hope your DD is doing ok. It stinks when it is hot and you can't cool off. My DD sliced her foot last summer and had to stay out of the pool for a bit. You would have thought we were torturing her.

Jim-I hope your arm is healing.

Shannone-Hope you have luck with your bat situation.

Anyone else I missed I wish you good vibes...:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Rog this is common in health care, every year there are more and more responsibilities placed on the health care workers and fewer of them. It just comes down to the fact that hosptals have too many administrators trying to figure out why things arent getting done, so they lay off more actual workers and hire more administrators and the cycle repeats. If seabee wasnt there to advocate for her husband there is no telling what would happen (or wouldnt in their case)

[seabee]

You are so right Scott. That is exactly what is going on. Those nurses are running around crazy. Many of them have 4-5 patients under them. How can you do everything for all of them. That's why I try to be there as much as I can. I really feel for those who don't have anyone coming in regularly. I try to take some of the work load off the nurses since they do have so many people to take care of, but when I'm not there I think they "forget" to do stuff for Jim because they normally don't have to. Its a hard situation for all. Not enough time for the nurses and caregivers, and patients not getting everything they really should be. We will just hope for a faster recovery than expected and a quicker return home. Now I'm off to get my DD9 who just called from school-she's sick. Good Lord!!!

[clkelley]

It's so hard for me to believe kids are still in school. My son's been out of college classes for a month and public school ended before Memorial Day!!!

Of course, they start back in early to mid August around here.

Hey Nicole, I'm so sorry about all of this! You are such an amazing person! Trying to keep some semblance of normalcy and FUN by getting the campsite. You must have such enormous strength! I admire you and all of your persistance. Thank God Jim has you to look after his well being! Everyone should be so lucky!

He did say he was going camping for a couple of days. I think he needed to get away from the person that helps him with his website. Mostly, I think he just needed to get away. I emphasize with him fully.

Some more info on the tomato problem.....

MIAMI (Reuters) - Florida's tomato industry is in "complete collapse" and $40 million worth of tomatoes will rot unless federal regulators quickly trace the source of a salmonella outbreak and clear the state's produce, an industry official said on Tuesday.

"We probably have $40 million worth of product we can't sell. We've had to stop packing, stop picking," said Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Saturday warned U.S. consumers that the outbreak was linked to eating certain raw red plum, red Roma, and red round tomatoes, and products containing these tomatoes. Several major restaurant and grocery chains have stopped selling those varieties.

"It fundamentally shut down the industry," he said. "The stuff that should have been harvested over the weekend won't survive more than another day or so. The stuff we have in storage is getting riper every minute and at some point it will have to be disposed of."

Florida is the largest tomato-producing state, with a crop valued at $500 million to $700 million annually, he said. The state produces more than 90 percent of the nation's tomatoes this time of year, Brown said.

just so yall know...i went a registered on onlineauctions.com...they seem much more seller friendly than the other corporate monster...

i posted 6 auctions to see what they would do

[VACAMPER]

Hmmm, I have 2 rows of tomatoes in my garden. As soon as they ripen i might set up a roadside stand. Maybe i'll make a profit.

[des1954]

The really disconcerting thing about the Great Tomato Scare of 2008 is... there were how many reports of Salmonella poisoning? 147 - mostly in the southwest??? Out of 304 million people? That's like 4/10 of one percent of the population. Have you ever had an upset stomach, coupled with heaving & well.... the other end? Then you probably had salmonella. No big deal unless you're elderly, under the age of 5, or have a compromised immune system.

The tomato farmers in Ruskin Florida had a huge bumper crop of tomatoes this year, which would lower the cost, and they would lose money. Hmmmm (says Mr. Tomato Farmer) .... I've got an idea!!! Let's tell everyone in the whole country that our tomatoes have been POISONED!!! Throw away any tomatoes and tomato products you have in your household and wait until next week to buy your tomatoes. The tomatoes we sell next week will be free of the dreaded salmonellosis bacteria & all will be well. (Oh yes, we can grow tomatoes from seed to fully ripened in only 5 days!):furious:

Not quite -- try 4/10,000 of 1%.

It's all due to the fertilizer! I personally fertilize all of my tomatoes, which cause the neighbors some concern!

I'd be concerned if I saw you fertilizing your tomatoes, too! :rotfl2:

[ftwildernessguy]

A lot of our produce comes from central and south america now. They routinely fertilize with human waste down there, and the human population suffers from a variety of intestinal problems - bacterial and parasite origin. It's sort of like the lead problem from China - how long are we going to allow our health to suffer in the interest of free trade? Perhaps the tomato problem didn't originate in central or south america, but i wonder every time i go to the grocery store and see the country of origin on the produce. By the way, has anyone heard about the lead in dental crowns being made in China??? You might ask your dentist the next time you need a crown where the lab is that he/she uses.

[ntsammy5]

Thanks. I just started ripping mine out! :cool1:

[ftwildernessguy]

Thanks. I just started ripping mine out! :cool1:

We just got a notification of this a week or so ago at the VA hospital where I work. The lead content in these crowns is 3-4 times the amount in the paint on the toys, and the health concerns are much worse considering they are cemented in your mouth, constantly releasing the lead. Foreign labs are frequently used by dentists because of the low cost, and with today's delivery systems (FedEX and UPS), shipping is quick allowing for fast service. There is a lab in China which employs about 300 technicians - over 75% of their work is from the US.

[Anne's Family]

Nicole, I really feel for you. My mother had Alzheimer's and when I finally had to move her from my home to the nursing home I ended up spending almost as much time with her there just to be sure she was getting the help she needed.

Granted, your DH is in a hospital and not a nursing home so hopefully you can be even more diligent for a shorter period of time. Hope that time is VERY short, I'm sure he'd be tons more comfortable at home with his girls.

My brother-in-law is a nurse down in Houston. It's true, too many admins and not enough worker bees that really care. He gets discouraged often, and he loves his job. He's moving to another hospital because of similar matters.

Hang in there. You have no idea how many people are praying for you. There's lots of lurkers on this particular thread as you probably well know. They may not post, but they are thinking of you.

Now, on a lighter note... tried the Kungaloosh recipe the other night... mmmmmmm. I'll be sharing that with friends at our next pool party. We have a mishmash of wood out back that will eventually become our new deck. The ground around here is pretty much like rock. Nothing a little jackhammer won't fix. Good ol' Texas.

Well, I made it to Orlando. I was supposed to arrive around 11 p.m. but, due to delays out of Phill (I detest that airport) we pushed back from the gate almost an hour late and sat on the runway for another half hour. Got to my hotel around 1 a.m. Monday morning. I am catching up with friends from all over the world this week. So far I have seen friends from Peru, Canada, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Australia and the UK. Pretty good conference so far.

I plan to head over to the Fort on Friday before I fly home. I will put in a loop request. Then Saturday morning, SWMBO and I load the kids in the MH and it is back on the road, back to Orlando and Disney.

For those at the Fort (or in the parks) at this very moment, hope you are staying dry. It is raining merry hell outside right now.

Now I just have to figure out how to catch up on all the posts here since I was last on. You people can TYPE :worship: :rotfl2:

didn't they say that when the crown is ground down, mercury is ingested through the nose from the air? maybe different story, but if i need dental work and something has to come out (like a filling or crown) I am definitely asking before the drill gets a whirring!

Yep, watching on TV here in Orlando right now, there is a tornado just east of Saint Cloud, moving east along the Florida Turnpike and route 17. Lots of lightening and they are reporting hail stones 3 INCHES in diameter.

I hope everyone is ok! We've been living with severe storm warnings, flood warnings and tornado warnings about daily for the last 2 weeks. We're finally taking our first camping trip of the year on Thursday, in a tent, and I just don't know if the weather is going to cooperate.

[kc5grw]

Dang, didn't even let us get the furniture tied down....

[seabee]

How about this one:

must be your skin that i'm sinking in
must be for real '*** now i can feel
and i didn't mind
it's not my kind
it's not my time to wonder why
everything gone white
and everything's grey
now you're here now you're away
i don't want this
remember that
i'll never forget where you're at
don't let the days go by

Did ya notice? We have a Camping Community Board! :woohoo:

[kc5grw]

I heard this little tidbit of info the other day:

There are more people learning to speak English in China, than speak English in America. :scared1:

[AuburnJen92]

I heard this little tidbit of info the other day:

that doesn't surprise me...people in America don't think they need to speak English!:eek: (just go through the drive through of any fast food restaurant...)

[clkelley]

So will the Useless Facts/ChitChat Camping Community Board kill the Useless Facts/ChitChat thread since any topic can be opened here??

[AuburnJen92]

yep

[ntsammy5]

yep

I don't think so -- remember the chit chat aspect!

[clkelley]

It's almost 10:00, do you know where your parents are :rotfl2:

[BigDaddyRog]

Man...Im watchin Kat Williams:American Hustle.......you guys HAVE to rent this

[kc5grw]

I don't hafta do nothing I don't want to

[BigDaddyRog]

No...I think its required by law!!

[kc5grw]

Well, in that case, I know I don't hafta to do it.

In Heaven there is no beer
(No beer?!)
That's why we drink it here
And when we're all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

In Heaven there is no wine
(No wine?!)
So we drink till we feel fine
And when we leave this all behind
Our friends will be drinking all the wine.

In Heaven there is no fear
(No fear)
So we worry too much here
And we drink ourselves full of beer
To help us when we deal with the fear.

In Heaven there are no drugs
(No Drugs?)
That's why we hang with thugs
And when the Lord pulls the plug
All the thugs will still be selling drugs, yeah.

In Heaven there are no carts
(No Carts?)
Because there are no old farts
At the Fort we all do our part
Drinking beer and drive the loops in custom carts.

Can anyone come up with a verse for Kungaloosh? I'm having a brain fart on that one!!

[djblu883]

being in health care and reading the recent comments i can say I have to agree with all comments! I work as a PT in a rehab and we find a lot of times we need to enlighten the nursing staff that things aren't getting done! We ALWAYS encourage family to come in and be part of the rehab process and know what is going on with their loved ones!!! We frequently find sores as they start and get them seen to before they worsen...and we EDUCATE family in what to look for and to be sure and look!!!! I have to say that Nicole is doing and absolute wonderful job of caring for her hubby and I greatly admire her determination to keep life as normal for her family as she can given her huge demands!!!!I have 18 patients a day and also a student in training...she is learning first hand how to be an advocate for her charges!!!! I'm also seeing a sad and scary trend...Few new nurses showing up to replace the older ones ready to retire. I'm sure I won't be retiring until I simply can't do my job any longer!!! :(

[des1954]

Do you think Tag Fairy will visit the sub-forum???

I sent a TXT to all the otters and they will soon be here. I told the otters to let the peacocks know that there was a new sub-forum about pool hopping on the community board to cause a diversion. It'll take a long time before the peacocks realize they've been duped!!

[djblu883]

lol too funny I dreamed of peacocks sometime last night...they sure were busy critters!! My POP used to raise them...beautiful but ornery things!!!

[VACAMPER]

According to allears.net the thing to do at WDW on the fourth of July is to have breakfast at Trails End and then enjoy the golf cart parade.:thumbsup2

[77ed]

My parents will be in orlando today through sat(and I'm stuck here at work:( ). Sat. they are going to the fort to see what I keep telling them about. I told them to call me from the marina so I could hear the boat horn.:rolleyes1

[clkelley]

I read that too. I'm wondering if Mike Scopa is gonna be there this year??

[ftwildernessguy]

didn't they say that when the crown is ground down, mercury is ingested through the nose from the air? maybe different story, but if i need dental work and something has to come out (like a filling or crown) I am definitely asking before the drill gets a whirring!

Apples and oranges, Jen.

[auntie]

Ahh...please,:faint: I think I'll be visiting the dentist soon enough..fighting off a slight tooth ache. Which we all know...they don't really go away.:rolleyes2 Just trying to get through today..have work, and then probably in on Thurs or Fri. all this talk about fillings and drilling. Why can't they make dentistry painless. Especially the bill....why can't THAT ever be painless. :sad2:

[des1954]

Okay, okay.... I came up with a Kungaloosh verse!!!:yay:

In Heaven there's no Kungaloosh.
(:confused3 )
That's why from Jim we gotta mooch!
A refreshing, and mighty tasty hooch,
Let's honor Jim and drink more Kungaloosh!!

:dance3:

[ntsammy5]

That's pretty lame. There are so many threads popping up all over the place I'm having trouble keeping up. I love it!

[AuburnJen92]

I don't think so -- remember the chit chat aspect!

oh nevermind, it was too late for me to be on last night, i though she meant on the regular camping boards...stupid is as stupid does...

[AuburnJen92]

Apples and oranges, Jen.

well then there are two things i will be obnoxious about when i go to the dentist...did ya notice i am probably not the best patient???:laughing:

[ntsammy5]

I work as a PT in a rehab (

Interesting -- my daughter and her husband are both DPTs.

[ftwildernessguy]

Well, I put FWGuyJr on a plane today for Ft. Lewis for his Army ROTC training for the summer. Another officer in the making, although he is not as enthusiastic as I was 30 years ago embarking on the same adventure.

[Gatordad]

wasn't General Patton still in charge when you started?

[ftwildernessguy]

Actually, i was supposed to go on a field exercise with Custer, but I slept in that day. Good thing.

[ntsammy5]

Well, I put FWGuyJr on a plane today for Ft. Lewis for his Army ROTC training for the summer.

2/75 is out there unless they're in the sand box now. Haven't been to Lewis in about 7 years. I like it there -- you can see Mt Ranier from anyplace. What branch? None of my kids was the slight bit interested in the military. Are you gonna wear your uniform when he get commissioned?

I think I will need a diet to fit into my uniform.

I was never at Lewis, but have heard good things about it.

I am not sure what branch he is interested in, he is a computer jock. I think he is leaning towards ADA or Signal.

I was surprised when he applied for the scholarship, since I didn't think he had the slightest interest in the Army. Even more surprising, he is going to my Alma Mater and stayed in the same dorm I did freshman year. Freaky.

[Anne's Family]

That reminds me of when one of my brothers graduated from Air Force OTC and my oldest brother (enlisted Navy) showed up in uniform. Oldest is wearing all white, looks like an ice cream vendor and all the newbie Air Force guys kept saluting him. He did give my other brother his first salute as an officer though. It was really cool.

My nephew spent 2 years in the Air Force, quit and is now in Army training. Haven't figured that one out yet, his Dad is my Navy brother. I guess he'll try the Marines next!

[AuburnJen92]

Even more surprising, he is going to my Alma Mater and stayed in the same dorm I did freshman year. Freaky.

I had a physics professor at Auburn that my dad had. The woman had a memory like a steel trap. I did grow tired of her reminding me that I was not like my father and actually paid attention in class, to which I replied, "That is because he is paying for me to be here and the govt. was paying for his! (ROTC)

I'm impressed!

[ntsammy5]

I just finished work and moved outdoors to the gazebo -- starting on a Moosehead. It's 77 here, a little cloudy and no humidity. Life is good -- wifi signal strength is very good here but I'm only about 20' from the house. I've got an extended range router on order that should let me g a lot further. Anyone ever hear of woot.com? I get a lot of stuff there - mostly refurbished, but not a problem yet! :cool1:

[ftwildernessguy]

We had some bad storms go through last night and took out a big limb on one of my maple trees - my garden is history now and we had a 10' umbrella which is under the mess somewhere. Tonight I get to start to cut things apart if I can get FWGirl to help - I still have this broken arm issue to deal with.

Ouch :-(

[ntsammy5]

Yeah we had some bad storms go through too. No damage though. There's a lot of bad weather going around now. Those poor people in WI. Tom Petty just came on the radio -- I love him. Oh, I forgot it's a CD I made. Go figure. I like all the songs! Beer is good!


BTW how's the wrist coming. I had two broken wrists at the same time once. Made a visit to the men's room an interesting experience!

[Gatordad]

When my daughter was 3, she knew the words to Rock N Roll all Nite, and Enter Sandman.

Go figure. I love Kiss & Metallica (and AC/DC)

Here is a new song:

You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other.

[RvUsa]

HELP!!!

I need a giant recap of what happened around here since saturday! We went camping, I get back, there are about 2000 new pages on all these threads, we have been moved, there is a community board, Pete likes manly firemen..... WOW! HELP

You basically summed it up!!! The Camping Community Board has arrived and we can chat away!!!

[1goofy1]

I am sure that I will leave something out but here is some of what has been happening.

1. Shannone found a bat in her new home
2. We have killer tomatoes
3. The nurses are not doing what they are supposed to when Nicole is not around to help Jim.
4. Bad weather several places
5. Ami was looking for a rubber sock (before you get you mind in the gutter,:lmao: Ami's daughter has stitches on her foot, so Ami needed something that her daughter could but on her foot to go swimming)

Well, that is some of what has been happening. Hope that I helped.

[djblu883]

Interesting -- my daughter and her husband are both DPTs.

That is great. More help for the health field! They didn't have DPT's when I went into the field back in the dinosaur days...there is a HUGE shortage in all healthcare areas!!! My DDinlaw is an RN and I'm thrilled she went into the health field...i'm seeing more and more 50-60 aged healthcare professionals and fewer 20-50ish ones:confused3 :worried: :confused:

[RvUsa]

Just to let you guys know, my trip report is up at my place, come on over if you want..... or not!

[ntsammy5]

They didn't have DPT's when I went into the field back in the dinosaur days...

Yeah, the kids graduated about 5 years ago and had to go back to get the DPT because it wasn't offered when they started! Luckily the school let them do it on weekends and over the net. It doesn't make a bit of difference now, but may some time in the future

[clkelley]

Somebody just won a million dollars on the Price is Right. The timer game

[ntsammy5]

It wasn't me

[AuburnJen92]

I just saw that...they need to rethink that game...they are going to lose more than a million on that one...

[BigDaddyRog]

I went to Tickfaw State Park today...its such a pretty state park...my main objective for going was to do a little fishing....but I couldnt get the family up till 9am....didnt get on the road till 11am...didnt get there till almost 1pm. Needless to say, A LITTLE FISHING is literally ll I got....didnt even get a nibble. Why dont these people understand what 6am means???

[AuburnJen92]

rog, you live in a house of women...if you need to be somewhere at 6am, i am afraid you are going by yo self...

btw- since seeing your fishing pictures you posted, ds has bothered the $%^& of of me to get a fishing pole...bought him a cars' fishin pole last night at wallyworld and now he is trying to cast all over the house...the influence....have you ever seen a 4yrold try to cast a fishin pole...the horror...but we are workin on it

[ntsammy5]

Why dont these people understand what 6am means???

I'm sure they understand what it means -- that's why they weren't with you at 6am

[Gatordad]

yeah really, you can get fish at the Publix all times of the day, what makes your 6am fish so darn special?

[kc5grw]

The only time I've ever been able to get my DW and DDs out of the house that early is on a trip to WDW.

Took my two little ones fishing on the river behind my parents house a while back on a weeknight. Tried the ole' teach 'em how to cast routine, stuck a rubber worm on the end of a too-small hook with a big ole bobber sitting just a foot above the hook. You know, the kind of set-up that could hardly snag a tree limb, never mind a fish; just so they could get the hang of how to cast without catching the back of their head. Wouldn't you know my daughter caught a trout with that set-up? First darn cast! I'm over a ways trying to get the little guy set-up and my daughter's complaining that she can't see the bobber any more. I'm figuring it's in the bushes or something. Nope. Snagged herself one of the most hungry and desperate trout that ever lived. 15 years of fishing that river myself with no luck and she catches something on the first cast. :worship:

Now she can't wait to get out there when we go camping. Had me on the lake at 7:00am the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.

Next trip is off to the beach for 4th of July week - the family will stay at the CG and I'll commute to work each day from there to save precious vacation days for our trip to the Fort in August! WooHoo - 51 days and counting down.

Ah....fishing! I sure miss it! Growing up the youngest of 5 kids with 3 older brothers and a dad who loved all things on the water (fishing, boating, skiing etc)...I sure do miss it! I may be a girly girl, but I do love being on the lake fishing! Check out this pic I found...me around 2-3 years old. Check out our camper...ah, so many good memories! :goodvibes Now that's a "mess o fish"! :goodvibes

here is the trick you start off by saying your leaving at 4am then you compromise at 6am and they think they got to sleep in. Frank does this to me all the time.

....have you ever seen a 4yrold try to cast a fishin pole...the horror...but we are workin on it

Well...not in a house I havent!!! For some reason...ALL my girls were just kinda "naturals"! It took me about a dozen casts or so to teach them how and where to release the thumb button, but once they got that down...they actually aim waay better than me. I started teaching them at 3 or 4...but they were 8 or 9 before they learned to put their own worms on!!!!!
Let CJ throw that rubber fish all over, he'll get it. Wait till he pulls his first real fish in....it'll be on, baby!! Teach em young!! Most of my best and oldest memories of my dad are of us fishing. He took us all the time...always knew these great backwood dirt roads with streams at the end of them.....I never was much good at catching, heck I just caught my first bass at almost 40yrs old!!! But its never stopped me from casting the line in.

[AuburnJen92]

right now he has the practice weight on there because we couldn't go outside because of the lightning today...my parents live on a pond, so we will be casting for real tomorrow...

[des1954]

Should I be concerned, or impressed, that my 6 year old knows this song and sings it regularly :confused3

[djblu883]

I grew up my entire life on one or another body of water in Alabama. We went boating/ fishing/ or canoeing every weekend. I've always loved any activity and still do...with my job on the road and camping as I go I always try to find a location on or near the water....this time its only a pool:worried: but its water lol...A patient asked me today if I liked to go fishing, I said yes..he said do you OWN your own pole...yes again, do you bait your own hook...yes again...then I blew him away...I said my pole is PINK and Purple....lol he said ICK you really are a girly girl...I just laughed and moved on....fun for a few min. in the middle of my bust **** day!!!

[auntie]

Okay...I'm gonna scream here...I just checked my credit card statement because I thought something was "off". It was off all right. It seems that the card I gave my daughter to use back in the beginning of April to pick up a present for my nephew, has been used repeatedly since. BY HER!
I never even thought to get it back. I do let her use it now and then if she needs books or something for school....or emergencies.

Apparently, she has emergencies sucking down Mocha lattes in Starbucks twice a week! In addition to stops at the gas station. Well, that doesn't sound soo bad you say...gas. Well, it wouldn't be bad except for the fact that I've been giving her CASH for gas! :furious: Sooo....what do you suppose she's been doing with the cash. :confused:
Spending it on her POS boyfriend maybe?....Lord help me, because tonight I want to kick her behind from here...to somewhere else! Here I'm thinking let me throw her a little cash, because she's working so hard in school. Got her grades back up after a CRASH last semester( Mr. POS again! :mad: ). She seemed to be back on track..and getting her priorities strait. We just ignore the boyfriend, and pray on a daily basis that he is swallowed up by the earth. Hey...it COULD happen ya know!:rolleyes1
It's probably a good thing her father is sleeping and she isn't home. I am going to have her pay this back...every freakin' cent. I mean it's not a fortune..but a $180.00 without asking...I DON"T THINK SO.:sad2:

DH did something similar with Jake last summer. They were out fishing and hadn't caught anything all weekend. DH is (again) untangling his line from getting caught on a stump, when Jake's bobber goes down. Thinking it's yet another of numerous logs, he tells him to wait, but Jake can't hold on. Ends us being some 20+ inch something or other, I forget what kind of fish it was, but Jake still talks about the "fish Dad thought was a log." :rotfl:

Thanks, so do I. He's the only 6 year old I know that asks for a beer - root beer that is, but he still thinks it's pretty cool that he can have a beer with us. And he toasts us, "to the hunt". He's obsessed with hunting and fishing, just like his father.

I never even thought to get it back. I do let her use it now and then if she needs books or something for school....or emergencies.

Apparently, she has emergencies sucking down Mocha lattes in Starbucks twice a week! In addition to stops at the gas station. Well, that doesn't sound soo bad you say...gas. Well, it wouldn't be bad except for the fact that I've been giving her CASH for gas! :furious: Sooo....what do you suppose she's been doing with the cash. :confused:
Spending it on her POS boyfriend maybe?....Lord help me, because tonight I want to kick her behind from here...to somewhere else! Here I'm thinking let me throw her a little cash, because she's working so hard in school. Got her grades back up after a CRASH last semester( Mr. POS again! :mad: ). She seemed to be back on track..and getting her priorities strait. We just ignore the boyfriend, and pray on a daily basis that he is swallowed up by the earth. Hey...it COULD happen ya know!:rolleyes1
It's probably a good thing her father is sleeping and she isn't home. I am going to have her pay this back...every freakin' cent. I mean it's not a fortune..but a $180.00 without asking...I DON"T THINK SO.:sad2:

My kind of guy. Where can I find a wife who knows her place in this world?

Pete.... did you forget all the beer I brought (and drank) to the MDGG, and my part as the "Beer Wench"??? The pro-pasta salad...the witty and stimulating conversations, a certain technique I shared involving air compressors - a hose with appropriate nozzle, and blue crabs? Doing shots of Rumplemintz and surviving? If I don't know my place, who does?::yes::

Gotta tell you...you got off easy! For the last few years I left my debit card (second copy) with my DD so she could pay my bills and get things she needed for the house and emergencies....well I had been living paycheck to paycheck all this time...barely getting by and the finally got hold of some of my bills...seems she was paying her own bills and skipping mine!! She did so well with her own she noe has credit cards and my credit is RUINED!!!! needless to say she no longer has access to my funds and isn't living in my home...she ruined it to!!! i gave her a choice...clean up, get a job and or go to school...and get into counseling...her answer..I'll be out ASAP....she moved out with the DGD and is now mooching off a friend in NJ...wonder how long it will take the friend to get tired of it???...and she is no kid...31 BTW!!! grrrrrrrrr and no I'm not that dumb just that busy....I was home maybe 1-2 days a month...now I'm home almost every weekend...someone has to cut the grass and pay bills lol....working 2.5 hours away from home right now so its not too bad a drive ...looking forward to the day I can live at home again...and when it's done it going to be a Disneyish Haven....getting all my artwork framed...and my collectibles on display finally!!!!

I have never seen you carry that much beer at one time....:lmao:

but you are the ultimate wife...IMHO...;)

[BigDaddyRog]

Women that can put up with degenerates like Pete (ok, and ME) are PRICELESS...and few and far between. We wouldnt know what to do without the boss telling us, and then allowing us to take credit for tyeing our own shoes!!!

Well thank you!

Actually he has the kids trained with hand signals when to get him another beer. And Pop Pop uses them too.

Auntie...your daughters POS boyfriend sounds like my sisters ex. We all hated him, but would she leave him????? NO! Well, she did sometimes but would always go back. One day, she called me in hysterics, wanting to move out but not having the money to. We told her we would give her the money to move but if she ever went back to him we'd take it out of her butt and I'd disown her as a sister (empty threats, but still...). It worked! He is still in her life because they have children together (those poor babies!!!!), but she is happily married to someone much more acceptable now.

So, maybe you tell her you'll forget about the $180 dollars if she kicks him to the curb????

[g8trmom1]

you are dear, you are.

Say it like you mean it!!!

When my oldest daughter started bringing boy friends around, if I didn't like them, I'd sit on the back step sharpening my kbar. It worked pretty well. They never knew what to expect from me partly because of my military background. Hell, sometime I wore my BDUs and camouflage face paint Most of them were downright scared of me. Fear can be a good thing at times.
