Hi John!

 

[iankh]

I want a coffee and a chocolate strawberry tart in Cove Cafe right now. Preferably with a sprinkling of Dis friends!

Did Sukie ever leave the Cove Cafe?

 

[nskjerven]

So cute. Did he just start up again at school?

they go back on Monday 8/25

 

[iankh]

That's what I was thinking

I am at the Indy Air Show trying to figure out how to post without quoting anyone--so if I made an empty post--blame my shallow learning curve on the RAZ.

I wanted to give you a link to the website which I JUST learned is showing streaming video--otherwise I would have told you earlier in case you wanted to watch.

I have no idea if there will be replays later.

If you are interested, checkout the site and see if you can find it:

Hello folks

Marilyn - I'm glad you have mastered the art of skimming since we filled up so many pages last night, but some was educational (thanks Ian!)

Deborah - that's a great pic you posted of Deb & John

Holly - thank goodness I wasn't back on here at the same time as you (that was only 4:30am for me )

Probably a long time. Right now they won't even call us back to give us the info we need for the claim. So it seems we will have to go through the Navy instead of the carrier and that will most likely take several months.

Could be they aren't calling us back since we gave them a 9 out of 100 on the survey we had to complete withing 7 days of our stuff being delivered! We thought we were being generous as we answered the questions - they probably did not!

What a hassle for you. You and Darrell should make a bet on how long it takes to get the claim settled, or even just how long to get the claim started

We are back from our Saturday morning trip out.

We took Mrs. Fezziwig to the dealer to get a bath, so she would not be a dirty girl.

Then we went to a big farmers market and from there, to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy a new blender.

I have a blender story from last night.

Since we have been both heavily back into WW, we have been using WW Smoothie mix to have a smoothie every night. Typically I add some ice and frozen fruit. It comes out to about 1 point for each of us, or about 2 points for the entire blender jar.

We had a Waring blender that we got in around 1991, so we've had it for years. It was one of the models with a sealed bottom. You know, the blades were integrated and could not be removed from the blender jar.

Last night, it was leaking fiercely out of the bottom with frozen smoothie going everywhere, oozing out all over the counter. I did manage to salvage about half a glass for each of us. Vanilla-Banana-Mango and it was great.

My half came out of what was left in the blender.

It was odd, because there was grit in my smoothie. I thought is was bits of ice that had not been blended, that is until I got to the bottom of the glass, and realized that the bits had not been ice, but bits of glass.

It was not sharp shards but little pieces more like sand (the blender jar is rather heavy glass).

I did not tell Sukie about it last night, but did while we were driving around today. He promptly proceeded to freak out in the car.

"You fed me broken glass?!?"

I looked at him and said, "You know, you can never get too much silica in your diet."

I told him to look on the bright side. To my knowledge, glass is zero points.

At Bed Bath and Beyond, when trying to choose a blender, Sukie asked the store clerk, which blender jar tasted best.

We bought a Krups, with powerful motor and the blades unscrew and remove for cleaning.

If Sukie doesn't watch out, I'm going to put a Brillo pad in his next smoothie. I suspect he needs more iron in his diet.

I have seen three Smart cars so far in Lansing! One I see quite often. He's a man possibly in his mid to late 60s and I always see him in the same general area. Tyler's mad because he hasn't seen one of the cars yet. After seeing the pictures Ian posted quite some time ago, he's itching to see one for real. I can't help smiling whenever I see one, they're just so darned cute!

I see them in Indy!

Hey yourself.

Hey....here's what I'm having for lunch and the Wine Country Trottoria

 

[HollyTyler]

OK! I drop off the face of the earth for a few months and you folks burn through four threads?

I could only scan through the last few days of posts, no way I can read all of them. Hope every body is doing well. DEB does keep me up to speed with most of what is going on.

Hiya John, how the heck are you?! Good to see you here! Don't worry, we'd never forget about you.

 

[HollyTyler]

Hi John!!! Sometimes there are only a few posts, sometimes a few pages, and sometimes like last night there are drunken parties going on!!!

I think Friday nights tend to be the craziest!

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info! I thought Jackie had gone nuts and was speaking jibberish.

 

[HollyTyler]

about last night, I have a DCL story about "Lizards" but it is a bit long.

That's OK, we like long stories!

Lordie, I don't know which one of you boys is funnier!

Can't wait to give you both a hug in two weeks (SATURDAY....don't know if you'll see us Friday night...unless I can sneak away from work even earlier....which I AM working on).

Lizard story:

on DEB and my first cruise, 2001, We shared our table with two other couples, that were also doing anniversary's. at the table the night after Castaway Cay, one of our table mates is telling us about this "huge lizard" that kept attacking her, inside her cabana on serenity bay. (her hubby told us it was only one of the tiny little salamanders) well as dinner was ending, our waiter told us that they had a special desert for us all. other wait staff bring in plates for all of us. with the steel covers still on and place them in front of all of us. with much fanfare they pop the covers off at the same time. on her plate is a Little rubber lizard. the squeal she let out brought half of the room to tears of laughter. seems the waiters had told everyone what to expect.

Oh my gosh, that's too funny!

 

[HollyTyler]

JOHN!

Glad to see ya, buddie! I miss you guys.



Holly, the 1939 movie John references stars Cary Grant and Doublas Fairbanks Jr. and is actually based on the Rudyard Kipling's 1892 poem of the same name. Singer Jim Croce recorded a song in 1966 "The Ballad of Gunga Din" and The Byrds (Gene Parsons) title a 1969 song "Gunga Din". There are actually quite a few musical references listed when I played around on Wikipedia.

.

Wow, my mom was in love with Jim Croce for a number of years and played his songs constantly, so I'll bet I've heard it and just don't remember it.

It happens!

I do like to pepper my speach with literary allusions...though more lately it's film allusions.
