Hello Everyone!

8 years ago

I was able to get a connection and had to pop in! I wanted to give you all an update since I can't get online a lot it seems.
Life is going ok for me. Work is going great and I love what I do at the casino. Home life is good. My furbaby Myben is growing like a weed and is the most loveable baby around. My love life....well lets just say not much is happening there but I do have plenty of rechargeable batteries (lol).
I am signing up at work for this years talent show. I have decided to do my ventriloquism act. I bought a puppet which I named Lola. She reminds me of a younger version of our loveable Necterine. I practice every night and can't wait for the show.
Hope everyone here is happy and well.
Miss everyone
SamKaren

WANDA!!! Yes....I do know Ventriloquism. used to do it back in grade school and then...well i stopped. It's been 40 years so i had to re-learn a few things but it all came back. Here is a photo of Myben and Lola. (love her Elton John outfit!) And yes....John and i are still friends.

Hello everyone, I have a flooring dilemma and I want to ask your help

You can have engineered or solid wood in the kitchen without problem with adequate care. I had that and am definitively not the most tidy cook and never had problems. This said, you could also put tiles in the part in red (not wood like tile) and it could look good (it all depends of the tile and the general style of the house). I know it is not something people like here, but there was a Sara Richardson's show on DIY where she was doing her house and she did just that and it really look great. You can see that in the last 30 sec of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ4X_4b_n_o

Hello everyone. Looking for some suggestions on using different shades
Q

mindful gray does not look light. repose gray might be better. only do a whole kitchen in gray if you like it. for contrast you can do a navy island with white perimeter. you can do a wood island with white perimeter. there are infinite ways to do a contrasting island and perimeter. All gray kitchen even if its two shades of gray wouldnt be my pick.. But again if you like it, thats the important thing.

I worry about the situation for those living and gardening in Europe, with winter coming on and an iffy fuel situation for heating. Fingers crossed for a mild winter this year! bart, I'm so glad to see you posting as I remember that you had some health challenges when I was last here. I wish you all the best in every way. I know your rose garden is very challenging, and I hope you remember to take care of yourself first and foremost. I've learned that gardens can be very ephemeral, but one can always try again when things don't work out. Sheila, I'm so sorry that your irrigation system was giving you fits. They can be a challenge but are so necessary in the west. I'm glad that your roses are doing well in spite of this and everything else. The old roses are tough, in addition to being so beautiful

Oh Lola is absolutely adorable - and you're right - she does remind me of the long absent Nectarine. It's good to hear from you. Good luck on your Talent Show. Didn't you sing in one of them?

Hi Maire-Cate

Thanks.....Lola is such a hoot to be around. It's like she is a long lost relative of Nectarine's. Lola is a drunk and a floozy who flirts with all the guys in the office...lol. Yes....last year i sang the first 4 verses of Rapper's Delight. Surprised everyone at work because they couldn't believe i actually knew a rap song. Here is a picture from the show.

Enjoyed seeing the pics. Does Myben have a black tail, by any chance? She reminds me of my harlequin cats, LuLu and JoJo.

Actually Myben's tail is a feather duster of multi colors.

But it is colored. She would be a harlequin too.

Well, I googled Harlequin cats and it showed also cats with more markings. I used to have a book of cat varieties and the cats with black or color on their heads and tails and maybe a little bit on their bodies, were called Harlequins. I think the British coined that term for them. Now a lot of colored cats are considered Harlequin. So.............never mind. (I'd still call her a Harlequin.)

Hi from North Dakota. I hope you can be posting more again!

I hope to see a video, too. Could Lola perhaps be a sister from another mother? LOL

All I'm up to right now is mourning the loss of my youth (somehow turned 60 this year), chanting my battle cry "I'm freezing to death in North Dakota," and enjoying the boys, Harry, now 13 and Sam, a respectable 7. I can't have cats (reference 'the boys,' and Wes' allergies.)

Do pop in more often!

Harry, left, is far more happy than he appears in this shot. Sam is always a goof. You could probably work him into an act with Lola!

Thanks Susan. Just trying to be happy and healthy. Going to try to quit smoking and exercise a little more. Myben keeps me active with playing. I think I have figured out how to make a video so as soon as I get one that's almost perfect I will try to post it here.
