Good morning, my little lovebugs! It's so nice to wake up to you.

It is SO COLD here. How cold is it? It's 2 below, honey. ROFL

Tomorrow a cold front - (as opposed to this blistering heat wave we're enjoying?) - is coming thru with -25F wind chill. Wusty needs warm hugs.

Hi Seb - dontcha just hate the firewall?!



Margarita - my first vacation will be Florida to hang out with Momz and play in the springs. Just haven't planned it yet. Lazybones!

That sounds kinda fun, Rusty!! I'd like to do that someday. Think you will get to go to Bon at all this year? I know there are other places in the world to vacation and dive, but I just can't even imagine a better place. Gotta dive.

Thnx for that luv diver,Rusty!

margarite, thanks, love that gif!

I've been collecting new gifs all morning! Enjoy!

Now I just have to figure out how to name them so I know what they are later.

You see I'm looking for my logo name and all I can find is margaritas.

Think I'll post one of my new love related gifs to see if it really works.......

RATS!!

How about this one?

Well alrighty then........

margarite

Lots of love going around..... axes to computers!!

Hi all,

Just spent the past three hours fixing the dishwasher. No go last night. Tricky little wiring fault. Of course everything obvious is fiddled with before the sneaky thing is found.

Ah well, what else would I rather do with my Sunday!! Maybe I'll go do some Ommms and think about the dishwasher inventor!!

Still winter here!

Bill

Afternoon all.....finished my kidney screening today....think all is okidokie....
big football game today for us, being in the Philadelphia area....what do ya think....Eagles gonna win?....Steve is plastered to the tv...guess thats what Sundays are for!

Hiya Meryl, Nice to see you here. I hope you are feeling much better now. Annie B.

Bill, Glad you mended the dishwasher or may have ended up washing the dishes yourself.LOL. Annnie B.

The sunsets look quite dramatic tonight.

Dramatic indeed ,Annie. Hate to see the sun setting today. It's been nice and peaceful...alittle laundry, alittle cleaning....nothing too productive. Tomarrow, back to business. I'm not going to think about it. Let's have a drink!

Hi Meryl,

So glad to hear that you have mended. Probably a bit of "getting back to normal" time before you feel your energetic self again. Just no running on icy boardwalks!!


Annette - Always that small bit of non-dishwasher stuff to do, but I was already searching on-line for a replacement in case it wasn't worth fixing!!

Good day-off for the US of A tomorrow. Those who aren't shovelling should be O.K. By-the-way Cynde you were REALLY pushing your luck with those lunch-time pictures the other day!! Tears of envy!

Hmmmm - Woggaa time

See Ya!

Twlight fishie

Night falls on the island......

Unfortunately,Bill....some of us do have to work tomarrow.

Calls for more wogga

bill, i had to post them, all of you were whining bout the snow, cold, brrrr....had to go outside and smell the roses the institute where i volunteer is right there, as well as where our boat is harbored (about 5 miles from work). spent the day on the boat today, took her out for a spin, sunny, warm....ooommmm....close your eyes and picture yourself there...

speaking of dishwashers bill, my mouse died behind ours. michael took the kick plate off and sure enough, dead and stinky! took about 4 days to get rid of the stench!

howdy to everyone else..meryl, glad you are on the mend...smallpox shot for you...didn't we have to go through that as kids? don't get me started on that one! annie b...you ready for the week? how's emma? margarite...margarita for me please...anyone i missed, my appologies, wogga wogga kickin in (michael is glued to the football games, had to come home early from the boat to watch as the boat tv is on the fritz!)

here is the last of the sun on bonaire...

missed freddie, rusty and seb howdy

Hey There Cynde! Cool....didn't know you had a boat. BTW, did you mention where you live in CA? I'm gonna be in Anaheim this Spring and may try to do some diving. My apologies if I asked this before.....ditto on the wogga. Here's one for you(it's 3for1 HH)

OOPs!! SposedtobeCut me off I guess.

Thanks guys! Yes Bill the boardwalk is very icy! I went back to work already....but they are letting me slack off a bit.....glad to be back.....velllly nice sunsets this evening!

Hi,Meryl! Glad your kidneys got a good report. BTW, I enjoyed the year in review. Thanks a million! margarite

Cynde, Yes I am ready. I shall probably only be popping in and out during the next 7 weeks, as it all begins tomorrow. I am completely woggad out tonight and shall have a terrible headache in the morning. I hope you lot shall post some nice pics for me to look at. Thanks for your'e support once again, you really don't know how much it means to me. Not looking forward to that flippin' tube journey either. See ya buddies. I shall keep in touch when I am able to. Annie B.

Annie ,if you are still there, how far do you have to go for treatment and will you both come home every night?

Margarite, Yes we will be coming home every night. I just don't know what time yet though. Depends on how long we are kept waiting. Every Tuesday will be chemo day. That means radiotherapy in the morning, and chemo in the afternoon, which will take all day. Some nights she gotta be kept in for internal radiotherapy. It is all very scary at the moment. Thanks for asking. Annie B.

Geez.....sounds like an awful lot of therapy all at once....Not loving Tuesdays for a while. Sounds scary to me ,too. Don't know what it is like, but usually, from what I hear, the fear and anxiety one feels when one anticipates the unknown is worst than the actual thing. Doesn't make much sense maybe but this whole damn thing doesn't make sense. All I know for sure is that miracles happen every day, I've been witness to a couple. And this too shall pass. Better days do lie ahead for you and Emma. .....and you are certainly Loved.

Cynde, I wish I was going to BON soon! Reall y I only know we will probably be there late this summer, as immersed as possible.
This seems to be the slogging thru slush to work season, I comfort myself with the idea that it is really too cold in BON right now, I'd probably need the five mil suit, the gear is still at the shop and my BC is kerflooey.
So I am shopping around for a new bc, probably a back inflating weight integrated jacket type, enjoying work, and hiding from the bitter cold in a michelin man like long jacket.
All that said, tomorrow is my day off!

Annie B, just try to keep a sense of humor about it all (and Emma, too!), and it will be bearable. Even bad times have humor in them somewhere -- you just have to look harder. When my Dad went in for chemo/radiation for prostate cancer, he used to take printouts of jokes (clean ones!) that he found online and give them to the nurses, the techs, and his fellow patients. The nurses used to love it when he came in! Some of the other patients thought he was completely bonkers. One woman in particular was rather incensed -- "This could kill you, you know, and you're joking about it!" Dad just shrugged and told the woman "Gotta die of something sometime, don't we? Why not laugh on the way?" Apparently his comment sank in -- a couple of weeks later she apologized to him, thanked him for his wisdom and asked for a copy of the joke list... He's now past the treatment, with no sign of cancer anywhere, after several years. The jokes and laughter may not have helped, but they sure didn't hurt, either...

Faith,

The Jan.20th issue of "Time" had a special issue titled "How your mind can heal your body". Long been considered "vodoo" medicine by Western science, but there seems to be a lot of evidence that something is going on. Like you say it sure can't hurt!

Bill

there's more... just thinking about exercise can increase your fitness...a little exercise, a lot of just "think" healthy...

some one post the appropriate .gif...
