Alty.. Glad your four-legged babies are better. And.. I hope you have a few activities planned for the kids because they can get bored aweful fast.
I had a white plastic tablecloth ready for outside finger-painting - bathtub ready for cleaning afterwards
Then, even in the summer, I took plastic easter eggs and placed candy inside for the kids to hunt in the park or back yard. Anything is worth keeping them busy.

Start.. just make sure that your furry pets keep in the shade and out of drafty places - those are the factors that make them sick real quick. Bunnies usually get liquid through fresh vegies - just don't wash them before giving it to them though - sometimes too much chlorine and/or flouride is not the best for them either - so hope you have distilled water around.

Starby.. Consider yourself adopted. Along with my daughter, I have a beautiful gay Italian sort-of-adopted son already and I've always wanted more children. You can officially call me mom now any time. Gosh, every time I read your name, I want to go make a good cup of coffee - I just love those bottles of Starbucks coffee my daughter gets me now and then. After twenty years of not drinking coffee - I now get the urge and it has to be special - not the perculated plain stuff.

Stringer.. wassup`? Still hung-over dear? Say hi to Marta for me.

I am feeling pretty good hon, miss you.

I took M's and everyone's advice and drank a ton of water and aspirins... my head's OK, but for some reason my body is sore. I wonder if someone may have taken some advantage of me when I was under the influence? Hmmmmm, Marta..

Work tomorrow, lots of problems to solve and lots of meetings for the next two weeks... not in the mood for it at the moment. Maybe by tomorrow I'll feel a little bit more like dealing with the world... long weekend now seems very short.

And Chery... give 'um h*ll Darlin'... and I know you are the one that can do it.. Let us know... K?

I am glad your little one is feeling better Start.

Chery good to see you here. (;

Alty and Starby, hey there you guys.

Stringer whats going on.

Back to the jail tommorow /; Smile for me. lol

I'm fine thanks Joe. It seems being the host means that everyone kept filling my glass with my own liquor, and beer and whatever that other stuff was... but I am fine now.

Like you, not really looking forward to tomorrow though.

How is the family? How old is your boy now?

[Stringer]

I thought I heard you said yesterday to Sydney, to take her crayons and felts to go color?...or do you just not have the right colours. How 'bout pencil crayons? Chalk would probably look a bit nicer, but are you going to be able to tell after it's scanned? Do the kids have any paints? Ohhh...you could do some finger painting?!!...LOL Since I am the main character, I will require the first copy you know!! :p

A cook book Alty? What kind of "cook book" Alty?:rolleyes:

[JoeCanada76]

The family is doing well thank you. Little cheeks is 21 months old.

[Stringer]

The family is doing well thank you. little cheeks is 21 months old.

Wow Joe, that went by fast it seems... almost 2 years old now... that is a great age. I had so much fun with my two kids when they were two and three. Actually I always did whatever their age was, but that age was very special. You two are very lucky, but I know that you know that...
Stringer:)

[JoeCanada76]

Yes, very blessed I am. It is an awesome age. I even gave him a haircut similar to mine lol. I call him Mini me now. Lol
Well it is nice and cool for the summer.

Happy to hear you made a good recovery from the weekend stringer.

A cook book Alty? What kind of "cook book" Alty?:rolleyes:

Nope, not a cook book. It's a children's book, about a duck. I wrote it today, read it to my kids (my target audience) and read it to Starby, so far it's been well received. Now I just have to do the illustrations, but I need to get some supplies. I'm thinking of doing them in water color, but I usually only work in oils, water color would be new for me. I'll give it a try. I want the pictures to be childlike and colorful. :)

I'm hoping to get it published, it's a fun book, once I got the idea the words just flowed on to the page. I'll see what happens, the worst that can happen is that it gets rejected, can't fail or succeed unless you try. Hey, didn't a wise man named Stringer tell me that? ;)

[startover22]

Ohhh gosh, we are starting to see Dr. Evil come through your words... Joe... no mini me's OK? :):):)
Hi guys...
Just got done washing my FIXED CAR!! Captain if you see this... I don't blame you for how long it took, I just couldn't wait any longer the gas was killing me in the truck. You know I would have loved to have you fix my car while I made you a nice wholesome lunch ! And handed you a cold beer, or made some yummy cookies for a thank you! I miss you lots! Hope you are good Captain, as many of us do I am sure;)

[JoeCanada76]

Start, I miss Captain too. I hope Captain is doing well. Always hoped for that.

Well I need to go to bed soon. Take care and have a goodnight everyone.

Joe, I would love to see a picture of him, cute as a button right?

Alty; YOU BETCHA HON!"

Good luck, my nephew is a published author of children's books. His latest is "A Christmas Secret"; J.B. Struzzi II. He is a great writer, his degree is in journalism, he is a speech writer for the Governor of Pennsylvania, official spokesman for PENDOT (public transportation) in Pa. And he is only 32... great looking guy. He was "Mr. Pennsylvania" TWICE for body building and came in second the third time.

He and I are very close Alty, and yes he and I have sat and talked for many hours about what he wants in life and the things he has already accomplished.

[startover22]

Ohhh Alty, that is wonderful... you go girl! I hope one day you will get it published, wouldn't that be something else?;)
Night Joseph... and mini me AKA Little Cheeks and Proud!

[Alty]

I always wanted to write a book, I've got allot of ideas floating around my head, but usually I sit down and try, and the words that sounded so good in my head, well they just won't come out.

This time I had the entire idea in my head, sat down, and it just flowed out. I love this book, the kids have asked me to read it three times already, and I think it will be even better with pictures. Who knows, maybe one day my book will be on a shelf for sale. Eeeek, then you'll know where I came up with my user name. ;)

I do have to thank Starty, if it wasn't for her this never would have happened. One little typo led to this entire story. So thanks Starty. Oh and Starby, she's such a good sport. :)

[startover22]

Awwww, goll;)

[Alty]

Any guesses what the book's about Starty? A little canduck named Starduck. :)

[startover22]

That will be adorable. I can't wait to see some sort of draft of it, whether it gets published, I love reading to the kids... so maybe a soft copy for little ole bad typer start?:)

[Alty]

Say the word, I'll send it to you. I have to go over it again, check for spelling mistakes and such. I'd love to wait till the illustrations are done, will take a bit of time. I'll send Starby, you, Stringer, heck all of you a copy when I'm done. I hope you all love it as much as I do, but if not, be honest. :)

[startover22]

I tell you what Alty, I will read it to the kids and give you their feedback!;)
Have a good night, I have to go watch ANOTHER movie now;) Been relaxing some and it feels so nice. Hugs!

[Alty]

I'm going to go draw for a bit. Goodnight dear Starty, and keep those typos coming. :)

[starbuck8]

I'm going to be a STAR! I will have my own personal "Starduck" star on the Hollywood duck walk of fame! I will have my webbed feet embeded in cement for all to seeee... along with Alty's big hand prints. We will dine on caviar, sumptuous desserts, (no poultry, thank you!), and I will put Alty under my wing, and we will fly high above the papparazi!

I will meet all of my Idols! Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Duckman, Big Bird, Larry Bird, Tweety Bird, Batmans' friend "Robin", Blue Bird of Happiness (that flies up your nose)... all of my mentors!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... the good life! :D

[startover22]

Sounds terrific! You girls are the craziest...
