Ever feel the need to sit in the sunshine and soak up a little bit of its warmth? To carry that warmth with you throughout your day and revel in its beauty? To just sit and chat with friends and family?

Join me for a picnic on the lawn of Chicky's Central Park…. A place where all your dreams come true…

Scrumptious food…

Enchanting conversations…

Thermoses (Thermii??) of freshly brewed coffee…

Coolers of your favorite “adult” beverage…

Perfect weather – “not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket…”

A concert in the park…

A soft blanket for a night of star watching…

All the time in the world...


But above all…

The friends that make sitting in the sunshine worth it.

Be my friend. As someone has once said, “Good conversation is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”… so why try? Let's kick off our shoes, pull up a blanket, and have a ball.


The Complete Guide to Central Park and Central Park Zoo (http://www.centralpark.com/)

:p

I went to Central Park when I Went to NYC in May

Quite Green, and I ran into Strawberry fields

Central Park is awesome :) Welcome Guy!

Howdy.

Ran into a bunch of things there actually, A ice cream man, a clownish guy, a BIG rock, and guy proposing, and a guy giving out a Extremenly Sugarfied Orange Drink

I ended up distilling it with water and putting a little Umbrella in it LOL

Lol... nice :)

Just loved your opening speech HC. Makes me feel warm and comfy already!

Thanks for sharing my blanket! :) Lemonade? Sweet tea?

Glad you made it :)

Hello, is there room on the blanket?

There's always room for you! :)

We needed a Sheriff to keep everyone in line...

The Angel Fountain, one of my favorites in Central Park!! Looking forward to more chats with all of you on comfy quilts and blankets, solving all the problems of the world, sharing joys and friendships... why do I always sound so... like... gag me with a spoon... I feel all warm and fuzzy with you all but when I type it... well, I may just have to work on that part of me.. Is there an Angel Fountain in Chicky's Central Park??

Sir Stringer... For that you get a Jessica Rabbit Kiss

Wow... That's the best title ever... :)

Hi Rebby... glad it made you all warm and fuzzy... it's that summer sunshine... :)

At least were closer to my house now... Not as long a walk (though I had no idea where the castle was) :)

I think the castle was in Eastern Europe somewhere... I always took the stagecoach in the middle of the night... never could figure out where I was headed...

Eastern Europe... dungeon... ever see Hostel?

Nope... I stayed in too many Hostels in China and Inner Mongolia to watch that movie...

Yeah, I probably wouldn't want to watch it if I had been in one either :)

There's always room for you! :)

And a Deputy?? :cool:

Aha, I found you all, can't get rid of me that easily. :)

Alty, how's the little one?? And of course, how are you feeling? Better I hope.

... no one told me this place existed!!

You all "upped" and moved!

Hello, back from shopping with Marta.

I got a new watch and she got a new diamond necklace. We both made out pretty good this time...

New car... diamond necklace... watches?. wanna help a poor student out?

By the way, what watch?. I have a thing for watches...

Not a really expensive one Sneezy.. ESO Swiss

I'm bored. NO ONE is answering questions. What's up?

Poor CM , can I help?

FIRSTLY: Thank you Angel for posting the little duckies and for the wonderful photo of me, blonde and all! You are so sweet!

Targets?????? Oh My Goodness Guys, a little something was missing in your interpretations of this!!!!!!!!!!! :) Instead of just Starduck being hunted and threatened, all of us from the land of the Castle of Doom and the Binky Room, got turned into ducks so we could play together nicley just for this one night!!! Tomorrow we will all return to our cyberselves and continue on our journey together.

Starduck, I was trying to look out for ya Darlin'!!! LOL Tomorrow, back to business as usual except that I am one year older! Now, you know, I am 27 right? That never changes no matter how many years pass! Ha.

Our little swim party was sort of a gift I was giving to myself and to help Starduck catch a break for one night! But tomorrow, all fair game again! And the hunt is on!

Poor CM , can I help??

Answer all my questions and give me tons of greenies!! LOL!!

Ha Ha

DITTO!!

Hang on , I don't have any questions:confused:

AGHHHHHHHHH

All of these social rooms are getting too confusing... I have a headache :(

So far so good Stringer!! :)

Happy Birthday Princess Rebby :p

I like being second stringer :D

Thank you Angel! :p I'm a little hesitant to comment here... ah... :o seems I am always falling into things without realizing it. Let me just say you and Stringer are both first place in my cyberworld!! :)

That was pretty clever of you, "I like being second stringer!" LOL :p That went into left field also though a little didn't it? Oh my! :eek: I am not known for my quick wit! I am also not known for "getting" things when they are batted my way... but I am sure anything that needs explained, the gals will help me. Right gals? :)

You are such a sweetie! I really did know that part. I was trying to tease something about a ball game, base 1 or something I had heard years but don't know how it went or if it was a Laurel and Hardy thing or... anyway... I'm old as we speak I guess and the ol' brain is just shrinking as I type. :eek:

You both were sweet to wish me a Happy Birthday and I appreciate it. I better leave the humor to Starby and Alty! They do it really well. I get lost in it some how. :p

I better just lay down on this comfy quilt in the park and watch the clouds pass by! :)

Rebby
I think this is the skit your talking about , very funny :)


YouTube - Abbott and Costello "Who's on first" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPrm6luPmME)

Who could refuse an offer like that!! :o From all indications I need a keeper (I think that would not be misunderstood, right?) lately. Sometimes I open mouth, change feet!! I do try to be careful though. Thank you both! I feel very privileged to have the two of you taking care of the bad guys for me... there are a few out there... I'll send a list of names later. LOL :p

K... and I would never take your comments in the wrong way, and I'm sure M wouldn't either. Sheriff's and Deputies are here to take care of the marm's, little kittens, little birds with sprained wings, lock all unlocked doors, etc. Do you think that all we do is set around and polish our badges and look handsome? Nawwww, we have work to do hon. Now, why don't you go shopping while we work, here is a charge card. Now don't come back until you spend as much as you want to... Bring me back some good Cuban cigars k?

Where the heck are alty, Starduck, Sneezy, HC and M !:confused: Scary, I haven't seen them for quite a while now... Have you heard from them Rebbie?:eek:

I knew you were good guys! I have a little problem. I don't want to refuse your charge card, I mean that would not be polite but since I am not a shopper, perhaps, I could just buy one thing?? A new bike maybe, you know just for long road trips. That way, only one charge on the card, I am there and home! I, of course would get you your Cigars. Do I have to go to Cuba to get them? I would do it for you! ;)

I haven't seen the rest of the crew. Friday's are usually fairly quiet. Time to catch up on special visits and such!! :p Maybe they are all playing in the bathtub, those fun little duckies!! :p I asked Starduck to leave off the pointy toed boots though!! :eek:

Well then go get the bike, M can help you pick one out for sure.

I need to go for now hon, Marta just got home with a hot fresh apple pie and ice cream... oh my, need to loose weight for sure!

Night hon,

:p Thank you so much for the bike! M will be a great help! When I went to the shop to choose this last bike, the Rebel, these salesman, kept walking around me. I kept starting to ask if they carried the Rebel and the Shadow, etc. No one would wait on me. Finally my husband walked up to me and all of a sudden, there is a salesman. He asks Bo if he can help him. He says, "No, my wife wants to purchase a bike!" My husband doesn't ride motorcycles. Sooooooooooo, needless to say, I did not purchase the Rebel from that place!! LOL So I might need M just to get waited on... LOL I might have to borrow Starby's boots to get their attention, what do you think? LOL Better yet, I will just let M show them his badge and all will be well.

Hope you and Marta enjoy the hot fresh apple pie and ice cream!

Catch you later, on my new bike!! What a guy you are! This one should clear the mote at the Castle with two on it with no problem what so ever!! Cool :cool:
Night and Sweet Dreams to all who might be in the park later. Missed all of you tonight.

Hi all, I'm here for a minute. I've been spending allot of time in bed, trying to get rid of this cold, flu, whatever the heck it is. I feel like something the cat dragged in, spit up and then chewed again. I feel yucky.

Rebbie sweetie, I missed your birthday, I feel horrible.

Happy belated Birthday dear Rebbie! :)

10503

Alty, thank you for the balloons and the "Happy Birthday" wish... tops off my day!! I know you don't feel well and want you to know I appreciate you taking the time to send balloons! You are a precious friend!

FEEL BETTER SOON! Our Queen must not ever have to be ill... that should be written somewhere in the degree!

I agree Rebbie, I should have servants that get sick for me.

Right now my head feels like it's going to blow up, my whole head is stuffy and my body is sore. I can't sleep because I can't breath out of my nose, so I end up breathing out of my mouth and have to get up every hour to drink water because my throat is dry. No meds are working, not even Nyquil and that usually does wonders for me when I have a cold, not this time. Arrrrr, this better not last long, I'm done. :(

I hope you had a wonderful birthday Rebbie, your 29th is always very special. ;)

Lucy I'm home!

The castle is officially under construction, closed down for a while. So I thought I'd hang out here. Where are all the servants? I would like some beer, do I have to get it myself? My goodness, I'm not used to this, as a Queen I'm usually waited on hand and foot. Oh well, when in Central Park...

I'm here... (I know... so what ha) Looking around, I don't see anyone... not even a DUCK!
But I do need to re-load my six shooter... varmits everywhere... what's that?? Oh, sorry it was just squirrel... I think...

You must start over my friend and earn a re-carnation... (Ha not a reincarnation.. ):D

That's my mink Stringer, he's a pet, please don't shoot him, he's friendly. I did hear that there are two ducks, we only killed one, we have to find the other, I think we killed the decoy! EEEEKKK!

I have to go now, time to feed those little people that live in my house, they want dinner! Then they need a bath, boy do they ever, and then it's a movie and bed. I'll be back later, keep the home fires burning, and man the bar, okay?

Be back later also!! Just wanted to say"Thank You" Stringer for the compliment on the cake. Since the thread closed, wasn't sure if it was okay to say 'thank you' there so am doing it here. "THANK YOU"! Hope you enjoyed it! Made special just for the festivities and victory celebration tonight! :) Until Later!

Beautiful Bike Angel! But just between you and me... :eek: :rolleyes: :cool: OK... Stringer did say I could take his charge card so LET'S SHOP!!! Let's find you a bike you love also. Maybe we could get two alike and be known as "The Biker Twins", you know, just around the park. Something fast and sporty! Do you like red or black bikes?? That red one sure is flashy!! Pretty cool.

Angel, HELP me make these awesome decisions. You see why I don't like to shop, toooooooooo indecisive. You make the decisions for me... Stringer trusts your judgment and so do I. LET'S GO GET ONE! YOU CHOOSE! I TRUST YOUR DECISION! I probably have to give the card back tomorrow and he did say use it as much as I wanted so let's get you something also. :) I don't like helmets but maybe we should get each of us one and leathers also... LET"S SHOP! We want Stringer to be proud of us, right?? I mean he sort of placed me in your care.

I thinks I's started something again!! Baaaddd Starby!!

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/religious-discussions/making-love-fighting-killing-226429-7.html#post1177050

You know what Starby... I really thank you dear. Thank you very much. I read some posts like this one cutting down Americans in a very sanctimonious, self servicing way, implying that things are always better where they live and we are pigs. I don't always understand; living in this country all my life and traveling around Europe, Canada and Mexico, I haven't really met people that hate us and our way of life. This spewing hatred for the US is almost like these people are sick and have been "programed". We are not perfect and I really don't think anyone here (that I know) would say that we are. In fact, I think we are our own worst critics... But that's the US...

Have you ever seen anyone from this country say these things over and over about other countries with such meanness?

Sorry, but I too am fed up and I want sometimes to lash back at these guys, but I know, it would be pointless.

So YES, thank you my dear... I appreciate it very much and I am sure that a lot of us Americans do too.

EDIT: The last time I was in Poland Marta and I made friends with a wonderful couple. He had a business where he met people from all over Europe on a daily basis. He would tell me how he would encounter people like this and he would challenge them and ask them why they felt this way and hated everything about the US. Most he said were never in the US and really never met an American. Once he ask one of these persons "why do you hate them so much don't you realize that in a sense they are "our" children since most of them came from Europe?" "How can you hate your own relatives so much?" I personally thought that this analogy was very different, but I certainly appreciated his kind heart. He had visited and lived here for a couple years and left to go back to his family, and he said he got to know some very nice people here.

The pleasure was mine my dear! :) He has put down Canadians in prior posts also. It is ignorant and uneducated, to envelop all people that live in the U.S./Mexico/Canada (AMERICA) in the statements he's made. If his words were bullets, he would be accused of something much worse than ignorance.

Well Angel, as you see, I can get myself into more messes just by being a little naïve. So I didn't just imagine that conversation, right?? :confused:

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Are you going to get a bike?? :p

I bet Sheriff still wants that box of Cuban Cigars though so I will keep those for him until I see him!

~~~tears~~~~ Did I misunderstand Sheriff?????????? I am so embarassed. I take it back, I take it all back.~~~ :( Princess Rebbie can be a little ditzy and must have missed something. I take it all back!!! Even your cigars???????

No, no, no Princess.........I was just surprised that you were ready to give the card back to me before you even used it sweety.

And M is correct...........YOU never, ever have to ever apologize to me....never...we love ya girlie...........yep we sure do...

Now here take this tissue and dry that beautiful tear drop..........happy now? GOOD, that's the way I way you to be.

I'm happy now!! ~~~sniff, sniff~~~ I'm happy. Yes, definitely happy! :) I have your Cuban Cigars. I had them gift wrapped and everything! Thank you for the tissue Sheriff. That was so kind of you. I am not use to so much kindness but I think I can learn to handle it, yep, I believe I can. Yes, definitely can! That's a big :YES:

Are you going to get a bike??? :p

Thanks again Starby, I meant no harm in saying America and meaning the US, really. As you know internally we refer to ourselves as Americans, to me it is an expression, we can all (Canadians, US and Mexicans) refer to ourselves as such for sure. It has become an unintentional use of the term.

A lot of people do this and I agree it is not correct. Even on TV the people here are called that; on History International Channel for example, they always refer to us as Americans.

Agreed that it is incorrect my dear...

Miss Rebel, we shall take the new bike on a country tour! Just you and me... hair blowing in the wind, music blasting, the occasional pit stop at the friendly biker bar, and we can sleep in the fields of clover!. There are fields of clover right??

Good, and I am sure that M knows that I would never hurt your feelings intentionally...ever! Right M?

Absolutely!!

Absolutely!!!!!!

Great... but I understand that you credit card has a higher $$ limit than mine does... :rolleyes: :eek:

I took no offence to that, Silly String! The Northern Provinces of Canadian, America would sound a little weird! :confused: :rolleyes: LOL! I only take offense to people who categorize others because they have a singular belief about another country, when they have not experienced the thoughts or morality of the people that live there. Those are the people that scare me more!

Understood my friend, I just wanted to make sure that I did not offend... :)

I served my country in war, and I lost a lot of good, very good friends. As many have from the US, Canada and many other countries who gave their lives for the freedom of peoples in other countries. And we all made serious sacrifices, and I sometimes take offense with people like him that sit back in their living rooms and feel they have the right...

Well, I again have an early morning "get up time." Four sales appointments, wish me luck, I will need it. We just lost a major account and I need to see that it is replaced soon...

Goodnight my friends, talk with you later tomorrow. Be good now, don't even think of doing something that I would... :) :)

I picture that man sitting back, eating corn dogs and Dorito's, while watching an American movie like "Rambo", and tying on a black head band and waddling over to his computer to spew his ignorance! What a brain imprint that is! LOL!!

G'nite Stringy... sleep well!!

Be careful of hot dogs/corn dogs...

Recent studies state that eating a hot dog a day increases your chances of cancer by 23%

... so... seeing as I smoke, drink, have multiple cell phones around me at any given time, carry a camera, and eat hot dogs every now and then...

... my chances of not having cancer are slim to none.

Hey why not:cool:

OH MY GOSH MR. DEPUTY!!! IS THAT 1000 CC'S?????? :eek: :eek: ARE YOU GONNA BUY IT WIHT THE SHERIFF'S CHARGE CARD? :p Goodness, only in my dreams. That is a lot of bike! I love it!!!

Rebbie, I knew you were a biker, but I didn't think you had a thing for crotch rockets.

Charge card?.....did I hear "charge card?"...............Ducky needs a new set of wheels!!!

Yep, you heard correctly! CHARGE IT!! Are these guys just the greatest or what? Marta is sure a lucky lady and I am sure Angel's lady (I make assumptions here, just know anyone as sweet at Friend has to have someone special in his life) feels the same about him! No one has ever given me a charge card before, felt sort of like "Pretty Women" without the trapping of said character!! I must say though when the guys at the cycle shop wouldn't wait on me and Bo came up and they did, he was just as miffed as I was!! ;)

So, I have a few questions for you little Missy!! I am a little confused!! I know, everyone is asking, "When is Rebby not confused?" But are you Starby, our beloved Queen or are you Starduck, taking on the appearance of Duck or are you Duck in disguise as our beloved or have you stashed Starby somewhere in the park while you do your evil deeds?? :confused:

So, Ducky needs a new set of wheels. I know one good shopper to recommend. Now, I can't supply you with the card BUT I sure can recommend this guy... his real name is sssshhhhh... Friend, but I call him Angel, because you know he has always just sort of been my Guardian Angel for a really long time and goodness knows I need one!! :rolleyes:

I bet he can get you fixed up but of course, we need to know your real identity first!! Angel would never want to betray Starby by choosing wheels for The ever so mischievous duck, using her name and disguise so spill it there girl!! Who are you really?? We need our Queens you know. :p

rebbie, I knew you were a biker, but I didn't think you had a thing for crotch rockets.

Darlin' the faster they go, the better I like them. :p Those puppies can move!!

really?!

... aw man... you make me miss my bike :(

I had a gsx-r 750. Twas my baby. I valued that thing more than I valued life itself.. . sad.

I want a cbr 1000 RR... repsol edition. That thing is sweeetttt

Just like this one sneezy??

10547

::swoon::

... yes. That... exact... one...

Excuse me. I need to... unswoon myself.

I told you ALLLLL!! Queen Starby is tied to the tree by the evil DUCK! She morphs into me, and sweet talks everyone to get what she wants! You can tell the difference if you feed the duck beer!. Instead of burping... she QUACKS!

*quack quack*... get er... she's escaping!

ON WITH THE CHASE!! Come to think of it, I don't remember anyone going to the park and finding Starby and untying her. We just enjoyed the duck dinner, well, sort of, that little duck just wouldn't stay in the cooking pot, so had much too much buckshot in her. Stringer does have that tail feather framed though, right? Proof positive but then there were those two ducks arguing at the Castle, "I'm your best friend, No I'm your best friend!" So does that mean there are still two on the lose and Starby is still tied up?? My head is spinning. I think this chic, I mean chick, I mean Princess, better go to sleep! Night all! Hang on Starby we will rescue you but need to wait until daylight! Not to worry, the Sheriff and the Deputy will be hard at work solving this crime/mystery!

*G'day*... *G'day*... *G'day*... Bat-boyyyyyy!. *echo*... *echo*... *echo*!!

Queen Starby is thirsty and needs a beeeeerrrrrr!! Batmobile is running!. come and untie me!!

Hi there starbs! What's going on tonight homegirl?

*G'day*....*G'day*.......*G'day*.............Bat-boyyyyyy!!..............*echo*.....*echo*......*ec ho*!!!!

Queen Starby is thirsty and needs a beeeeerrrrrr!!!!! Batmobile is running!!!....come and untie me!!!

10548

Batman to the rescue starby , you have now been untied and are free to go:)

Ok I must be off to catch that wretched imposter Duck... Awaaayyyyy

... good lord friend. That's the old batmobile.

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/batmobile-resize.jpg

Is the new one.

Sneezy
Did you not see the damage that was caused to the new one in the last movie , it's getting repaired at the moment so I pulled this one out :d

Lol... good excuse right ;)

Sorry Sneezy but I kind of like the old Batmobile better! But I like that bike you mentioned a lot!! LOL

You did good M!! Starby is now free!! And to think I was going to make her wait until daylight but my courage isn't quite up to 100% yet but getting closer every day! Night time in the park alone, just couldn't do it.

We all owe you a huge amount of gratitude!!

Starby, can you ever forgive me for making you wait?? But M was his wonderful self and was right there when needed, AS ALWAYS!!

Thanks Angel!

Isn't there suppose to be a "Deputy in Training"? Seems as though I remember such. Haven't seen him this weekend.

The way HC describes Chicky's Central Park, perhaps we won't be in danger like in the castle... it seems like it is a place we can relax and enjoy good company, good food, good weather everyday... well, who knows with that duck or ducks still lurking... I must get a new mind set of peace and tranquility, long leisurely times in the park with good friends like all of you! Maybe tomorrow night we can do some star watching and just take in this beautiful universe in all its grandeur! Night all and sweet dreams!

You rescued meeeeee!. Yeay!. I'm free... I'm really free!!

Central Park is scaaaarrryyyy at night though! I can hear quacking in the distance, there is a drunk on the park bench, carrying a brown paper bag,. teenagers skinny dipping in the pond with the fountain... I see flashing red lights and hear a wooo wooo sound, and a whistle in the wind!. the squirrels are restless... the deer are fleeing... Yikes, I think Central Park is haunted!!

Sneezy for the win! The new Batmobile is sooooo much cooler than the old model... though perhaps a little less tasteful. :P
Nice park! I'm enjoying the sunlight! Feel a bit exposed though after spenind so long in a castle.
How is everyone?

Morning All, how is everyone?

Hello, hello! I guess the park was quite busy this weekend! :)

Good morning.

Sir Stringer... how are you this fine morning in the park?

Ah Monday morning...

I hate the work week :)

I am fine dear, thank you.

Ready to go defeat all the bad guys today... Several sales appointments to attend too. Lots of pomp and circumstance to dazzle them all, hopefully. We lost a major account and we need to replace it quickly. We'll see, we'll try our best. Then I have to sit down and review our new supervisor training program... sigh.

Hope you have a great day... I hate Mondays...

Stringer

Lol... its raining here...

... but I have coffee... I'm good.

You shall be victorious! Find your Grail, Sir Stringer! :) Good luck!

You know, I am really proud of my son. He joined the company about 2 1/2 - 3 years ago and has been doing a fine job. He has a terrific personality, he is trustworthy and he gets the job done. I will be with him today and it really is a pleasure and fun to work with him as he will be running the company in the near future...

So I will get a chance to once again see him "perform." We have fun working together, makes the day shorter also...

Catch you all later...

Awesome. Have a great day!

Just a suggestion... I know it can be awkward, but tell him that. Not sure why, but I think guys always want to make their Dad's proud and to hear it would probably make him real happy. Maybe its just me :p

No BB it isn't just you, nice thought my friend.

I have always loved my son and daughter very much and have told them so every time I get the chance. When they were at home, it was almost like the "Waltons." I was raised that way and I guess it just carries over to the next generation.

My daughter is doing well and I help her out where ever she needs it.

Bryan, has always been successful in whatever he has tried. In any competition especially sports he has excelled. He is a good father to his son and daughter and a good husband.


As far as business, I hope that you understand, but I tell him when he does well, but he has to see the "other" side of business also. What I mean is, being on top of the company and responsible for so many things is not a picnic in Central if you know what I mean. He will be responsible for the company and major decisions in the future AND for the business life of 497 people and their families. So he has to be sharp and also know the competition.

Sorry to run on so... but yes, I tell him when he does good and I tell him when he screws up, in no uncertain terms.

The nice part of being his father is seeing others appreciate him in business... It doesn't hurt in business that he reminds people of Tom Cruise or so he is always told...

Please don't take all this as bragging, I am really proud of him and my daughter...

Stringer:)

I think my Dad would have been a lot like you, Sir Stringer. He was always very interested, but stand-off-ish in my business pursuits. Not aloof, but watching and making sure I was doing well, ready to step in if needed. He was so proud when I went to China after college...

Sorry... I'm getting sappy... I just answered a question over in Bereavement and now I'm in a mooooood. :)

I'm sure your children think the world of you as well.

Got to run and save "our" world today... again wish me luck... :)
Stringer

:) he did. :)

Have a great one.

Hi you all!!

Heh heh! Cool Central Park. Sorry for not coming earlier but my internet connection is not unlimited and I spent most of it on previous threads. I've still got about 3 ours left, till the end of the month, then, 30 hours again!! I now have to go through the thread. See you perhaps later!

That's good Stringer, you sound like a great father...

I don't know why, but when I read your first post it just reminded me of the times when I wouldn't tell what my Dad thought of what I was doing. I remember times, when I was younger, not caring what anyone thought of me at the moment besides my father. I guess it's that father/son thing...

Not quite finished the reading yet. I got lost in the lower levels of the Castle and suddently, there were no more sounds from the above... I tried to get out but it wasn't an easy way. Well, when I got out, the sunlight amazed me. I was for such a long time in the dark!

Now I hear of a 'dark ducky' impersonating Queen Starby!! I'll look for it at once.

*quack* *quack*

Isn't that it in the distance! Ok, where's Lighting? Ah, here you are, my horse. Quick! Follow the duck!!

Oh, Rebbie just learned of your birthday... sorry to be late, but I was trapped in the castle's secret basement, I got there through your 'door', remember?




I was just curious as to where this door in the floor leads.

Pretty late, but better late than never, so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBBIE

Thank you so much for the "Happy Birthday" wish Unky!! So many friends here made my day very special! If you have to get older, may as well do it with special friends like you and the others!! Thanks again!

You were missed this weekend. Good to see you back. :p

What did you see in the secret basement? I was too scared to try to go through that door! You surely are a brave one. I do have more courage now. Maybe when the Castle reopens, we can all discover all the secret passageways of the castle and the mysteries that lie within!!

HC, do you mind me asking how old you were when you lost your father? Losing mine was so difficult. I didn't realize how much he was my earthly anchor until he was gone. I am sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how long ago, or so it seems for me and my friends, it still leaves such a void in our lives. He sounds sort of like my dad in being a bit stand-off-ish but always there, ready to help if needed. I am sure you made him very proud!! :)

Treasured moments for you and your son!! It will only get better and sweeter, the times together as you watch him grow and mature into filling your shoes in the company! Tears streaming down my face as I have read the posts this morning! Thank you for sharing about your son and daughter! You sound like a one-of-a-kind type of dad that are few and far between! I am proud to call you my friend! :)

Well, hi Rebbie! It was pitch dark inside, I managed to get a few steps, then WHAM! The passage closed, I don't know how. I got out my pocket lamp torch and wandered my way out as fast as possible. Then I saw a large empty cage, with the lock freshly broken.

Wait! Can it be that... Can it be that it's there that the morphing duck came :confused: That's so mysterious. It seems also that that door can only be accessed from one way, only entering it I mean. I'll have another check once the castle completely renovated.

Treasured moments for you and your son!!! It will only get better and sweeter, the times together as you watch him grow and mature into filling your shoes in the company!

Got to run... fast now... bye all.:)

Yes, me too Stringer. I forgot to tell you but... you have really wonderful children! Guy gave a great advice of telling them that you were proud of them, that kind of 'strengthen' their relationships with you.

Bye Stringer! See you later! :)

Hi Rebbie... no, I don't mind at all. I was 24. It will be five years, come November 21. Holidays just don't "do it" for me anymore... he passed away the weekend before Thanksgiving and it kind of wrecked it for me.

But, he truly is my inspiration in all areas of life... and I can honestly say that I do not have a single bad memory of him.

Well, you're luckier than me. Mine died last year, and I'm still in the teens...

My brother was 14... I know how hard it was for him...

Yes, but YOU were there, and me... *sniff* :( I'm the first child, my little sis was 12, not even going to college... Anyway, I know how you feel, I got through that too.

Hc... you're 29?!

Lol... yes, dear.

Oh, I'm done for now. See you all on Thursday. I don't think that I'll be able to come online tomorrow or on wednasday. Sleep well and have sweet dreams you all for tomorrow and Wednesday.

Unky out.

Seeya unky. Have a good'un.

Just like wine... I get better the older I get... ;)

Thank you for sharing! We are never ready to let them go but you are so young to have to deal with this so early. I can tell by your posts you are a strong person and will be fine. I know your dad was proud of you and knew you would be okay. Tough times, especially near a Holiday. My sis-n-law lost her mother Christmas Day and my sister lost her son the day before Christmas Eve! They do both try to still celebrate with joy the birth of the Lord and to celebrate the lives of their loved ones but it does sort of wreck the Holiday Spirit.

My dad had never been ill a day in his life except for a cold here and there, he had been at my house, left laughing, called me, chatted a bit, I got a call some 30 minutes later, he was on his way to the hospital, had emergency surgery, was on a vent, gone in 22 days!

To be able to say you do not have a single bad memory of him is remarkable and a testimony to both your lives!

Goodness, I won't go on... guess my heart is just so full today of the love being poured out here in the park today! I think it is nice though to get a glimpse into each other's personal lives from time to time. Again, thank you HC, for sharing!

Not to mention, the "best work" you do at nights... tee hee

Goodness, I won't go on........guess my heart is just so full today of the love being poured out here in the park today! I think it is nice though to get a glimpse into each other's personal lives from time to time. Again, thank you HC, for sharing!

Wow... that's... unreal. Dad was sick with Cancer for 14 months... we knew it was coming. I can't imagine not knowing

We all need a hug every now and again, don't we! :) Glad the park is such a happy place... now, no tree hugging though... that would be a little too far...

not to mention, the "best work" you do at nights...tee hee

Shhh... daahhhling... some things are best left un-shared... ;):p

Yes, but YOU were there, and me... *sniff* :( i'm the first child, my little sis was 12, not even going to college... Anyways, i know how you feel, i got through that too.

You must be one strong person!! Little sisters sure need those to look up to. I know that was a lot for you to deal with but I am thankful that your sister has you. I am sorry for your loss Unky!! Life can sure deal us some hard blows but here you are, sharing love and joy with so many! I admire you for that! You have a very sweet spirit about you! :p

I'm so sorry for everyone going through such hardships... I must be fortunate as I never had to deal with any deaths in the family... plenty among friends, but none in the family. I know it'll come one day... but it's just one of those things you never wish will happen.. . like finding out that the santa at the mall isn't really santa... but your chinese food delivery guy, trying to make a buck over the holidays.

It makes things that you once thought of as "cheesy" very meaningful and precious. Never again will I take advantage of those that I love. Not that I ever took advantage of my Dad, but you know... there were times that I should have stayed home rather than go out with friends... should have let him hold my hand... you know... teen girl embarrassment stuff.

I had the best parents ever... I can't complain. :)

HC, I feel the same way about my parents. Losing them was the hardest thing I ever went through. I was 30 when they died, I've told the story a few times already, they both died of cancer, Dad died first Jan 12, 2001, and then Mom on July 30, 2001.

It's been 7 years and I still think about them every day, especially when one of the kids does something new, I always wish they could be here to see it. We got together all the time, talked every day, we had a wonderful relationship. It still pains me that they never got to see Jared grow up, they never even met Sydney, it's hard.

We all go through tragedy, and we're all made stronger because of it, the key is to keep the good memories in your heart, share them with others, that way your loved ones will live on forever. :)

::hugs::

I adore you Alty... know that? :)

...

Bring Back My Squishy!!

You bed-head, you.

careful hc... we don't want more text messages from random angry exes.

Touche'...

This'll show 'em...

JR KISSES

Okay, you two lost me, I'm confused. ;)

HC, I adore you too. :)

S'ok... we're easily lost...

Own little world, party of two...

:D

long story short.

hc wrote something that was open to the general public. Random ex's friend got ahold of it. Sent me angry messages.

... and now hc and I are apparently spending nights together.

... too much?

What they don't know can't hurt them...

... wait...

... I guess that idiom doesn't apply this time, does it...

Wow, a scandal, I love it! :)

Sorry all, I'm a bit slow today, head's stuffy, chest is congested, I can barely hear, and my voice isn't pretty, I'm also taking cold meds, so I'm a bit blah right now. :(

Aw, poor alty.

You feeling any better? How'd that coldfx thing help?

Did you try the scotch thing?

Lemon juice and honey... tablespoon of both... and onto the couch with you, Missy!

Sneezy, Cold FX sucks! As for the rum, we're out, and neither hubby or I are in a condition to go out and get more. I have a cold, and hubby is sore (he had a vasectomy on Friday).

HC, Lemon juice I have, honey too, the couch is not an option, I have two overactive kids on summer holidays and one sore hubby.

I want my Mommy! ;)

Okay, enough feeling sorry for myself, this cold will pass, eventually, right?

Yes. As for the kids, ever think about getting one of those remote control cars?

... that's how I kept my brother busy. I just put his favorite toy on the remote control car and made him chase it around the house while I sat on the couch...

It will...

Seriously... half honey, half lemon juice... tastes yummy and makes the throat feel better. My Mom made it for me all the time when I was sick. :)

Or, you could mix Sneezy and HC and have a Rummed Up Honey and Lemon shooter! :)

Hc... we keep posting at the same time.. . what's going on there missy?

Great minds, my darling... I keep telling you...

I like it. An HC + Sneezy cold stopper, hee, hee. :)

Sneezy, no offense to your brother, but my kids are too bright to fall for that trick. ;)

I guess I could let all the bunnies loose and then tell the kids to catch them, that should be good for at least a 2 hour nap. ;)

Yeah... my brother... NOT the brightest crayon in the box.. . runs in the family. I still eat glue.

Anyway, I'm outti for the day.

Hc: have a good'un. We'll see about the HC + sneezy cold stopper combo later.

Alty: feel better!!

Ciao bellas.

I keep telling you Sneezy... the glue is for pasta and construction paper... not for eating...

:)

LET EM LOOSE, ALTY! :) Run Bunnies! Run!

... we posted at the same time... AGAIN?! What the?

I swear, we're not doing this on purpose.

Ciao Darlin!

Wow...

I mean, "kidney bean"...

Kidney Bean? That's funny, my pet name For Sydney is, Sydney Bean. ;)

Ciao Sneezy dear, have a great day. :)

Sneezy chides me for over-using the word "wow"... sometimes, its simply the only word applicable... and believe me...

... he's a wow...

;)

Anyway... lol! :)

He is a great guy, sweet, smart, good looking, ambitious, heck if I was single...

Lol... :) Alty, Alty, Alty... We love you :)

Aw, shucks, the feeling's mutual you know. :)

Puulllleeeaaasssseee! Someone... Batman?. anyone?. tell me a really good joke... or tickle me... or just anything to make me smile! Baaaaaddddd Dayyyy!. such a bad day!. and it's not yet over! :(

(Sneezer?. can I have sum of yer glue? )

Oh, when you get a minute, check out this thread;

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/toy-thief-242685.html

I have nothing left to say, need some fresh eyes. :)

Puulllleeeaaasssseee!! Someone....Batman??.......... anyone???.......tell me a really good joke.......or tickle me............ or just anything to make me smile!! Baaaaaddddd Dayyyy!!........such a bad day!!........and it's not yet over!! :(

(Sneezer?...can I have sum of yer glue??)

Starby, Post again, let us know you are okay please!! Alty, if you are talking to Starby, let her know we all are wanting her day to go better. If I can help in anyway, let me know!!

I am on the phone with her now. She's had a crappy day, started it off stepping in crap, literally, apparently Niki had a bad night. ;) The day went downhill from there, she's been on the phone all day with government employees, actually, not the employees but their voice mail, apparently everyone is on holidays. She has no money, no smokes, no food, and 37 cents to her name, because the government screwed up, there's a surprise. ;)

She'll be okay, I'll make her laugh if it kills me, which it might, I'm still sick.

Group hug everyone, let's get this pack back on track. K? ;)

Thanks for letting us know Alty!! What a day she has had. If your voice gets tired or throat hurts too much, tell her to call if it would help. I might not make her laugh but I would do my best!

Sending best to all!

If nothing else, I think my accent makes her giggle!! I try not to have one so guess I could not try tonight and she would really get tickled!! LOL Anything to help! :)

She did mention that you have the sweetest voice and the cutest accent, she adores it. I'll let her know. Apparently I sound sick, or so she thinks, she should see me, I look far worse than I sound. ;)

I win! :)

Private joke. ;)

M, on the phone with Starby, she wants you to rev up the batmobile and take her far, far away, to the land of no taxes, no money, no worries. Yup, and could you pick me up on the way? ;)

LOL... is there such a place??

Never never land, with Peter Pan. ;):)

It was the night of the palace ball and Cinderella couldn't stop crying. Her fairy God-mother was very distraught. "Cinderella," she said, "Why are you crying? You have a beautiful gown, a shiny pair of glass slippers, and you're about to have one of the best evenings of your life!" But Cinderella continued to cry. "I know," she said, sobbing, "but I've looked everywhere and I can't find my diaphragm! What am I going to do!?!" she cried again.

The fairy Godmother thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll make you a diaphragm, but only for tonight and you HAVE to be back by midnight or it will turn into a pumpkin." "Thank you! Thank you!" she shrieked, and she went hurrying out the door so she wouldn't be late.

The fairy God-mother smiled, happy to have pleased Cinderella so much. She settled down in front of the fire to await Cinderella's return.

The fairy God-mother waited. And she waited. And she waited, until finally 12 o'clock rolled around and there was still no sign of Cinderella. The fairy God-mother started to get worried. One o'clock rolled around and then came two and then three and the fairy God-mother had worked herself into a frenzy thinking about all of the horrible things that could have happened to her.

Suddenly, the door swings open and Cinderella comes sauntering in in a daze with a lazy smile painted on her face, a little drunken swagger in her walk and kind of breathes a tired hello.

The fairy God-mother's eyes got big and she jumps up. "What happened? Are you ok?" she said with a frantic voice.

"I'm just fine," she murmured. I was on my way home when I met the most lovely man... Peter, Peter something or other."

Ooooh, I should have seen that one coming. :)

::hits forehead over and over again::

Hello everyone.

How're your nights turning out?

Just like my day but it's darker. ;)

Ooh. How're you feeling dear aunty alty?

And how's starbs? Guvment screwed her over?

I'm the same, crappy, sniffly, sneezy, feels like my head is going to blow up, with a fever kind of gal. :)

Starby is having a rough day, needs a pick me up. The government screwed her royally, but hey, that's what they're here for. ;)

Sorry, I'm grumpy today, sick and grumpy, grumpy and sick. :(

I'll try and put a smile on my face for you though. :)

I appreciate that. Perhaps it's an international poopy day.

... actually my day wasn't too shabby. Started great... kinda went downward. My friend came over uninvited and I had to entertain him for about 4 - 5 hours... just went through a breakup and he's apparently taking it a bit hard. Glad I was there for him... but kind of threw my whole schedule off today... didn't get to accomplish what I wanted to today...

Not to mention, he dragged me to a cigar bar and now I have a headache. Eh, nothing a glass of whiskey can't fix...

On a MUCH lighter note, my offer on a new restaurant was accepted! And I got it for a STEAL. Just turned in the application for the lease... so... if all goes well, this'll work out in a couple of weeks.. . not celebrating yet because of what happened last time.

Funny M... ya'll know?:D :rolleyes: ;)

Never never land, with Peter Pan. ;):)

And the land of "Neverwas.":)

Sorry boys, had a kid emergency.

So Sneezy is going to be a restauranteer, congrats, I'm sure it will all be fine. :)

Neverwas Stringer? How about, Neverhappened? ;)

Sorry boys, had a kid emergency.

Neverwas Stringer? How about, Neverhappened? ;)

Actually Alty it is a great movie, the guy who played "Two Face" in Batman stars in this movie. Really good, even the kids will like it, go rent it... I think you will also.:)

Stringer; G-night all...

Goodnight Stringer. I'll miss you, sob. :(

Sneezy, did you leave me too? Sigh, all alone again. :(

M? M? Are you here? Sniffle, all the men are gone, I'm all by myself, don't want to be, all by myself, anymore. ;)

I'm always here Alty :)

Oh, I forgot, my little corner dweller is always about. ;)

So M, how's life treating you? Personally it's treating me like a baby does a diaper. ;)

M's always in the corner.

... watching.

... waiting.

... kinda stalkerish, no?

I'm here!

LOL... nice analogy:)

Well I'm pretty good actually , pretty busy at work still though.

M's always in the corner.



...kinda stalkerish, no?



Yeah sort of :D

Hello Doc, how are you?

Sniffle, sneeze, groan, I'm about the same, actually, I'm worse.

Okay kids, I'm open to any and all suggestions on how to get rid of this cold/flu, I've tried meds, I've tried honey and lemon, I've tried rest and fluids, orange juice and vics vaporub. I've taken hot baths with lots of steam, I've had tea, I even got hubby to buy some rum, put it in my tea. I'm done, stick a fork in me, I need a remedy, anything, so, call grandma, call mom, ask her for an ancient family secret way of getting rid of a cold, every family has one, I already tried mine, and I've come to the conclusion that my family doesn't know squat. My sanity is on the line here boys, I can't take anymore!

Anyone?:confused:

10582

Works for me...

I'm all out. :(

Anything else?

Haha. Friend got it on the mark.

Best way to get over a cold is to take your mind off it.

You try taking eucalyptus steam? Helps clear up the congestion, at least.

LOL... can I be Dr Friend then sneezy... sorta got a nice ring to it :)

Dr. Friend

It DOES have a nice ring to it. I likey.

Eucalyptus steam, hmm, I'm assuming I'd have to go buy that, where, and what am I looking for? Keep in mind it's 10:30pm, not much left open, probably only the shoppers drug mart, can I get it there?

I'm desperate here boys.

Oh, while we're talking about health matters, I have a question for you Sneezy. Now don't get squemish, it's a touchy subject, but I have to ask. Hubby had a vasectomy on Friday, it was the no scalpel kind, now the doctor told him he'd be fine in a day or two, he's not. He's really sore still, has trouble walking. He did everything the doctor told him to do, jock strap, frozen peas, and don't walk around too much, could something be wrong? Why is he still sore 4 days later?

Sorry for the topic boys, just pretend we're talking about the weather, K? ;)

How often has he been icing it? Is he taking anything for the pain?

Oh, and eucalyptus... I think you can find eucalyptus oil at any health stores... it's oil that is extremely minty. Few drops into boiling water, put head over it, cover with towel. 3 - 5 minutes, and your nose will start dripping (sorry) but it clears it up pretty nicely.

Alty, as long as you have been ill and if you are running temp, do you think maybe you should call your physician and get on some antibiotics?? I don't know how you keep going with two little ones, feeling as badly as you are feeling. Please give that some thought! I am one worried kid about you!!

Seems I jumped in a little late with this and you are wanting help for the night! You just sound like you feel so miserable. Wish I could fix everything for you!! But tomorrow, perhaps think about getting anti's!!

Sneezy, I think he could ice it more than he is, and he's taking tylenol for the pain which seems to work, but when it wears off, oh lordy is he sore. I'll tell him to ice it more. :)

Rebbie, I'll be fine, I'm a tough cookie, lived through worse than this. It's like my mom always said; A cold takes one week to come, lasts for a week, and then takes one week to leave, but if you go to the doctor it only takes 21 days. ;)

He should ice it for about 10 minutes every hour...

And... 2 tylenol extra strength for the pain.

... hoping he's taking an ibuprofen or an aspirin for anti-inflammatory?

He was taking ibuprofen but it makes him a little less cautious when moving around, and then when it wears off he feels it and it's worse. He iced it 10 min/hour the first day, but hasn't been keeping up with that, so I'll tell him to do that more. Thanks Sneezy, what would I do without you, you're going to be a great doctor. :)

Sneezy, I think he could ice it more than he is



This could cause major shrinkage... :D

Aw shucks.

Thanks.

The tylenol extra strength is for the pain...

Ibuprofen is actually almost a must for the next 3 - 4 days... it's not really for the pain, but more for the anti-inflammatory so that it doesn't become something worse. Even if he's feeling better, get him back on ibuprofen for the next 3 - 4 days. Tell him it'll fall off if he doesn't take it.

Wiggy says he'll do that Sneezy, and he thanks you for the advice. I think the poor man is ready to rip it off himself, he's sort of regretting doing this, but it was the lesser of two evils, vasectomy or getting my tubes tied.

M, Wiggy says, ha, ha, ha, very funny. ;):)

Hubby just came up with a cure for my cold, well, sort of. He said a bottle of prune juice, it doesn't cure your cold, but it makes you think twice of sneezing.:p :p :D

Oh boy. I think it's time for sneezy to head out. Been trying to sleep earlier these days... perhaps I'll toss and turn for a few and then come back... who knows.

Alty, hope you feel better.

Starbs, hope things work out.

Friend, keep on stalking.

Sneezy out.

This could cause major shrinkage........:D

HA HA HA! Very funny Batman! I betcha Wiggy really appreciated that one! :p

I just woke up from a stress nap! Is anyone left? Batman should be leaving for a beer about now! Now I will be up, and everyone else will be gone! :(

Alty... Vicks has eucalyptus in it. Try putting that in boiling water, and do the towel thing... instead of applying it directly! If you have a vaporizer, put it in there! Just a small tsp of it, because it's pretty strong.

That's what my mom used to do Starby, and I've tried it, no go. I'm just so miserable. I just want to breath, want my nose to go back to its original color and stop hurting. The post nasal drip and stuffiness is driving me insane. Arrrrrr, I hate being sick. :(

Sorry, little vent, sick Alty = unhappy, grumpy, b#tchy Alty.

Goodnight Sneezy dear, sleep well, talk to you tomorrow.

Where did M go? Did I scare you off M? I hope not. :(

Batman has flown the coop to the Island for a little while. We are taking off in the Batmobile for beeerrrrzzzz shortly! I'll bring you an Amaretto!! They are good for colds when you warm it up too!

Hey... warm peppermint Schnapps would help too!

No hard liquor here, Wiggy picked up some Brandy, but alas, that's it. He did pick up beer too, and although it has no medicinal purposes, I'm indulging. Wow, the screen is moving, funky. :);)

I'm still here Alty , revving up the Batmobile so I can take starby for a spin :)

M, can you pick me up too? You might have to carry me to the batmobile, but I'm not that heavy, you should be fine. ;)

Where we going kids?

I don't know? Batman?. where are you taking us? I had suggested the Bat Cave, but we could go to the Bat Bar??

Since Alty is feeling all stuffy and funky... we could play... uhhhmmmmm... Play That Funky Music White Girl??

No bar, I'm drinking beer and I'm on cold meds, bad things will happen, like topless table dancing and major flirting, I cannot be trusted, trust me. ;)

Yep I'll pick you up on the way Alty... we're headed to the famous Ettamogah Pub.


10585

A pub, on no, do they have tables? I could be in trouble you two. Cold meds + beer = really naughty not fully clothed dancing Alty. Are you sure you two are up for this?

Tables yes... poles?? Also yes :D

Try saying THAT three times in a row really fast Alty!! Whaaaaattttt?? We better not get too drunk a try to call a Bat Cab!. they wouldn't know where to find us!!

M, tables and poles, does that mean I have to wear a thong? Wait, did I say that out loud. Oh no, the beer is kicking in. Wow the words are flying across the screen, how do they do that?

Okay, I'm in, let me get dressed, oh, why bother? ;)

Try saying THAT three times in a row really fast Alty!!! Whaaaaattttt??? We better not get too drunk a try to call a Bat Cab!!.........they wouldn't know where to find us!!!!


That, that, that. Hee, hee, I did it. :)

I'll bring Robin , he can be designated driver. Every time I bring him to the Pub in those Togs he gets in afight!

The name sounds like the one of those sirens! Aaaaawwwoooogggaaahhhh! That is what I imagine it sounding like after a few beers anyway... LOL!

That, that, that. Hee, hee, I did it. :)

LMAO... nice alty :)

LMAO............nice alty :)

Thanks M, it's all thanks to good meds and even better beer. :)

Robin's such a (cat) LOL! We can let him wait in the corner with the strippers, they will feel safe with him!

HAHA! AMHD blocks *kitty*... LMAO!!

Ok time for me to go kids , jump in and strap on your bat belts!

I'll sit with Robin, maybe he can keep me out of trouble. :)

Hey M, is there a dance floor and a live band? I need music so I can dance.

What to wear, what to wear. Birthday suit? ;)

Ok time for me to go kids , jump in and strap on your bat belts!!
