French Roast with an apple-cinnamon cereal bar chaser.” 6:54:51 AM 6/16/04 “Good morning. It's the last day for students and then it's SUMMER! Stragglers are bringing in their books and one kid needs to take her final. Divinity......you should really get on up here for Dolly Sods. You'd love it and we could use a little southern influence.” 7:02:14 AM 6/16/04 “A nice rain shower very early this A.M. to water the flowers and herbs, and a sunny afternoon in the forecast. Looking forward to meeting nowslimmer around lunchtime. Hope the skeeters have been kind to him at his campsite.” 7:05:44 AM 6/16/04 “up, waiting on some time to pass so I can drive to the airport. Kids are leaving for the summer today. Dad's goin hikin!” 7:07:15 AM 6/16/04 “I'm up....I'm up. envious of you roam around.” 7:46:29 AM 6/16/04 “I love these "summer" mornings. I walked the dog around 5:30 AM with a bug shirt that kept the swarming bloodsuckers away from my skin. I kept shooing them away from Merlin's face. That is the only place they tend to try and bite him. Seriously, a slight breeze and 60 degrees with sunny skies is just about perfect! It's supposed to get up in the lower 80's today, but will start cooling down around 6 PM. Did I happen to mention that I love living in NH?” 7:53:41 AM 6/16/04 “Hey Skiracer, will Merlin wear a headnet? Wolfeyes has been dreaming of a bugsuit for her little doggy lately. Think there could be a market for such a thing? Pekka, you keep NS and Snake Eyes out of trouble! And have fun.” 8:07:10 AM 6/16/04 “My horse has a fly mask. They must have them for dogs??? They even make fly sheets for horses that are a mesh and cover the entire body. I say that is what hide is for. I let Iggy go naked and be a horse.” 8:17:25 AM 6/16/04 “We don't have any bugs yet- it's been too cold. It's supposed to snow this weekend in Yellowstone and we might get a few flurries down here.” 8:31:29 AM 6/16/04 “We had a heat index of 100˚ on Saturday. Flurries, indeed!” 8:37:01 AM 6/16/04 “At least snow flurries don't have little stingers and suck blood! My tomatoes are cringing at the thought, though.” 8:39:03 AM 6/16/04 “your "tomatoes," sure! i'm wounded, people! i stabbed myself in the palm of the hand while trying to separate frozen tuna burgers. then i about passed out at the sight of my own blood. LOL!” 8:42:28 AM 6/16/04 “That dosen't sound like you ,lyra; passing out at the sight of blood!” 8:45:25 AM 6/16/04 “That sure must make drinking the stuff hard...” 8:48:58 AM 6/16/04 “well, i usually don't have to see it if i'm sucking it directly out of the jugular, DUH! :-D” 8:53:32 AM 6/16/04 Kids in the summer? “You mean you can send your kids off for the summer???” 9:17:38 AM 6/16/04 The North Woods are beautiful. “Met pekka. We had a nice lunch, but I ate way too much. Then we went for a hike. I gave out quickly, especially after we took a wrong turn. As I slowed down the mosquitos closed in on us. So we turned around and hiked back to the cars. Pekka is a great guy. I really enjoyed our visit. Next time it will be: hike first, eat second.” 5:48:11 PM 6/16/04 “Yeah -- I could stand a flurry or two right about now. What I wanna know is... how can you stab yourself with a tunaburger??” 6:06:11 PM 6/16/04 “Divinity......you should really get on up here for Dolly Sods. You'd love it and we could use a little southern influence." JO 07:02:14 AM 06/16/04 LOL...darlin...I am a damn Yankee!!!! and ya never know where I'll turn up........” 6:17:13 PM 6/16/04 “Nowslimmer didn't explain why we took a wrong turn on the trail -- and it's a classic Northwoods reason: Someone had shot the trail marker with a shotgun, breaking the plastic arrow placard and causing the arrow portion to swing down on the bottom nail and point the opposite way. We didn't realize why the arrow pointed the wrong way until we walked up close to it and saw the BB holes. Gotta love rural American traditions such as shooting signs. It was a great afternoon, despite the skeeters and ticks, to be in the woods rather than the office, sharing life stories with nowslimmer. TT is truly a treasure in the way it brings folks into contact, virtually and literally. BTW, there is nothing erotic about having to call your wife into the bathroom to conduct a full body tick check after you find one latched onto your thigh, despite having elastic straps around your pant cuffs. This will likely be my last hike in the woods until late summer, as the bugs have reached a level that makes such treks onerous.” 10:05:22 PM 6/16/04 “As promised, a picture of Abby in her flowergirl get-up: (I sure hope this isn't huge and doesn't wreck the thread all day!)  ”11:41:16 PM 6/16/04 “Hey that went so well here's another!  ”11:45:30 PM 6/16/04 “Isn't that just the way things go? Go to sleep and the pictures dissapear! What's the deal with that? I'm still logged onto webshots. You can check out the pictures here” 7:57:34 AM 6/17/04 8:00:27 AM 6/17/04 “Sass, Can't see the pictures til I get home but...I have a smiley face sticker on my keychain after the visit last night. Abbey made me a promise too. Ask her about it. I doubt her little girl mind remembered after all those sweet dreams. Good morning!” 8:10:08 AM 6/17/04 “She just told me, Guess what Diane told me?! HELLO FOR YOU! And that she knows you have a sticker on your keys. =)” 8:12:27 AM 6/17/04 “Now HOW would she know that? ;-) I found it this morning. Tell the Abster hi back for me and Adrienne.” 8:14:07 AM 6/17/04 “Sassafras, dhutch- I don't think Merlin would go for the headnet thing, but I have a human one that covers the head and shoulders I might be able to modify. I'll give it a try this evening. My best guess is that Merlin will either rub his face on the ground or try scratching at it.” 8:16:08 AM 6/17/04 “She's three, she knows everything. Just imagine the hell I'm in for when she hits fifteen!” 8:16:45 AM 6/17/04 “Yeah, dogs and cats don't seem to like things on their faces. But keep us posted ski.” 8:17:12 AM 6/17/04 “For Sure, Pekka. All the deer cossing signs down here look like swiss cheese, LOL” 8:22:36 AM 6/17/04 After 52 years Anvil Lake still rocks. “Pekka rocks, too. At least, by taking a wrong turn, pekka and I found a shorter way to the Lake Loop Trail, which we failed to complete.” 10:21:15 AM 6/17/04 Stuck! “Help! I'm stuck in the Eagle River, Wisconsin, library! There is a childrens' puppet show in progress and I don't want to try get through about 60-70 children and mothers sitting on the floor between me and the exit.” 11:12:43 AM 6/17/04 “Sit back and enjoy the show, NS” 12:27:25 PM 6/17/04 “Pull the fire alarm lever...no wait some kid will get hurt in the ensuing rush.” 12:37:44 PM 6/17/04 “I did my grocery shopping at lunch. 2 parts moka java (from Indonesia) dark and one part Arabica brown. Kenyan is too bitter for me. I'm still correcting the final exams and I hate correcting. HOWEVER, if that's the only problem I have, then my life is pretty good.” 12:41:02 PM 6/17/04 “N.S. If you're still at the keyboard, I won't be home 'til after 9:00 pm this evening (work). Give me a holler when you can and we'll try to hook up.” 1:31:43 PM 6/17/04 “Morning hugs to all....omg....Nowslimmer & SnakeEyes getting together?????...I sure would love to be there too....LOL...... I have been going to bed earlier.......so up a little earlier.....I hate rushing in the am....I got up & my roomy is gone.....at 3am???..where could she be???...meeting a guy???....a hunger trip??.....here she went to pick up pre-teen... seems someone at vacation bible school told her that God killed an 8 yr old cause she was such a bad kid....wow.....if it was my daughter I am afraid I would have to make a visit ...anyway... I hope everyone has a great day!!!..it is FRIDAY!!!.....( but I have to work tomorrow :() SASS.....great pics!!!!....she is such a cutie!!!!” 3:53:58 AM 6/18/04 “FRIDAY! WHOOPEE! =) Good Morning everyone. Day shift today so my weekend will seem a bit longer and I get to hang with the family tonight. Feeling a bit sleepy though. You all have a great day! Divinity, thank you! Doesn't she look like her dad?” 5:08:18 AM 6/18/04 “Good morning folks. We're off for a quick one night swimmin hole trip. Both my teenage girls are going. Have a great weekend.” 6:08:57 AM 6/18/04 “Good Morning All!! I am sooo happy it is Friday..it has been the longest week!! Sass..Abby is an angel..you guys have done good :-)” 7:58:12 AM 6/18/04 “Happy Friday! No backpacking for me this weekend. In fact, probably no outdoor adventures for at least a few weekends. I'll take a trip this weekend to Home Depot for solid stain for the outside of the house. I'll also get a new medicine cabinet and light fixture for the bathroom. Looks like I'll be busy with the house for a couple of weekends, at least.” 8:01:38 AM 6/18/04 “LOL @ NS Something tells me they don't do "Punch & Judy" anymore...” 9:30:26 AM 6/18/04 “Morning! Got a paper due by 5 so am going to make this short hop in and then I'm off. Made the mistake of reading all 6 pages of the dating sucks thread but I had to cuz I had to contribute. Men! I wish I could figure them out.” 12:37:15 PM 6/18/04 “Ha!” 12:44:14 PM 6/18/04 “The most important thing to know is that we cannot read your mind.” 12:45:57 PM 6/18/04 “I do know you can't read minds and neither can we. I try to ask good questions that leave no doubt as to what I'm after. Do men not like this? Dang, this paper is already 10 pages long (not all of it is mine: this is a collective effort, but mine is already 4 pages worth). I have to start trimming something.” 1:20:33 PM 6/18/04 “Some men like that. Some do not. If that's the way you are, then good. If the men you're seeing don't like that, see someone else. It ain't that hard.” 1:25:16 PM 6/18/04 Jump to Page << prev
