Hahah-great gig, Mark how did you swing that one? Horseshoe crabs-I hate the little prehistoric monsters, but I Loove the Jersey shore! I had a red polka dot bikini-now a black tank suit with leopard trim (still a little racy-plunging neckline and all) My buddy Billy (the kid next door) and I used to go to those dance contests all the time, even won one. I saw him at my dad's funeral, so sad, he is wearing oxygen tubes thingys and they don't know what is wrong with him. He was one of the poorest kids in town, his brother just told me Billy recently refused 4 1/2 million dollars, someone wanted to buy his company. But I digress. Here at Sal's we can be whoever and whatever and whenever we want to be, and right now I am decked out in my red polka dot bikini, svelte hips swiveling along with Billy's dance steps to the song Little GTO. By the way Buddie, if you are around go up a bit in the posts here-I put some of my artwork on Sal's wall. Think I'll have another of those umbrella drinkies.

Ah, susi t, I DID think of sharks even when I was a kid growing up in Coconut Grove (now part of incorporated City of Miami). Water all around me everywhere... In those days, the water was clear and when you went over the bridges to the beach you could see what was in the water...leopard ray, dolphin, little sting rays, big old fish and once in a while a shark or two. Now, ya can't see nothin' in the water, but I know they still have to be there - somewhere. However, Jupiter has the Grove/Miami area kicked to pieces as far as shark attacks. Yes, Kathy, your art work is terrific. Meant to comment on it sooner. Keep it up. And keep posting it, too. You and Patricia make me look like a second-grade child artist, so I'll just go on doing it for my own personal amusement - and no, I'm not being humble, just honest. Too bloody cold here these past few days. This is supposed to be warm, sunny South Florida and it's been down in the upper 30's. Actual freezes throughout most of the state, except the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. Once it hits 40 degrees I pine for someone to buy me a faux fur coat. Large hot chocolate, please. And stoke up the fire.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ No good deed goes unpunished. ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||

moon most of the time we went to lauderdale and hoped for the best. i had an old peugeot (my first car) with a sun roof. it was perfect for the boards to stick out. those were the days of 'real macho' wooden boards. only problem was my buddy had to push me to kick start the car everywhere we went. we'd surf from dawn to dusk. skipped many a school day tohit the beach. aahhh...those were the days. | ||

Yup, what great days they were.Fresh air and sunshine, gentle breezes and mucho negative ions to uplift the soul. Wah! I wanna go home - but I AM home. The town and the people changed, but I'm still here with the ocean and the bay - and 'gators in the 'Glades. What happened to my *home*? Home is where the heart is, but my home isn't here anymore, so where is my heart? If you find it along your journeys, any of you good folk, please send it back to me. Warmin' up again today, just a slight chill in the air, so how about a nice root beer float and a bar-be-qued beef sandwich?

Evening Patricia and Kathy, Sal,I want some biscuits dripping with butter and some crisp bacon. Ya'll have grape jelly? Just a glass of milk. Patricia--(hehehe, I never call her Pat) ahhh Spring is in the air here as well, thanks for the beautiful pictures. Kathy, Want to hear how big hearted FEMA is? First it was everybody out the trailers Mar. 1st. I see some folks still in them around my neighborhood and ask my husband about it. He said he heard they were going to let them stay until June, the beginning of hurricane season. Then they have to get out. Guess they don't want to take the chance of a storm coming and blowing those trailers all around. That's just my guess, far be it for me to guess what goes on in the minds of those FEMA folks.

Oh, they are just lovely. Bob across the street just got a $1700 heat bill. Seem the heater FEMA put under the trailer to keep pipes from freezing uses a lot of electricity. Bob called FEMA to ask for help with the bill, they said, no, lots of people are complaining about the bills, maybe you should have unplugged it. He paid for the propane to heat the stupid trailer, but FEMA insisted on installing the electric heaters underneath anyway, now poor Bob is beside himself. The cold weather caused so much condensation in the trailer things were wet, damp and mildewed, even with the heaters. FEMA AAArgh!

Just went to see "300" and got *SUCH* a shock--Leonidas, the swarthy Spartan king, is none other than one of my favorite actors! He looks SO DIFFERENT in this new movie that the only thing that kept making me think it had to be him was his mouth. For some reason, I notice mouths and teeth. What a pleasant surprise! He even uses an entirely different voice that sounds nothing like his....amazing"The puppet thinks: It's not so much what they make me do, as their hands inside me..." Charles de Lint | ||

It's comic book violence, kathy--not realistic the way, say, a Martin Scorcese movie is violent. But there's lots of blood, so right now might not be a good time to see it.

Sorry that "300" link above didn't work, here's one that should. It shows the digital style of the movie and also the amazing difference between Butler's normal appearance and the way he looks in this film. Would you ever think that was the guy in the hunky image I linked to above?!!! To see how he looked in character without the digital manipulation (of the film's contrast), go here.

| Patricia Davis Senior Member Username: patricia Post Number: 11506 Registered: 10-2003 |
Oy. kathy, try avoiding ALL fats/oils. If it's your gallbladder, that will straighten you out fast. If you're still upset in 24 hours, it probably wasn't your gallbladder. All that little organ does is to regulate the amount of bile that reaches your stomach and bile is needed to digest oils and fats. If it malfunctions, then even a little fat will really upset your digestion and keep you chained to the bathroom until it clears your system.

| kathy decker Advanced Member Username: kat Post Number: 487 Registered: 1-2004 |
Yes, pat that is my plan. i am staying away from fat altogether-I'll see how it goes. So far, so good, I feel fine right now. Humans believe they are devils pretending to be angels when, in fact, the reverse is true. | ||
| Patricia Davis Senior Member Username: patricia Post Number: 11511 Registered: 10-2003 |
Good luck! At least, if it IS your gallbladder, it's not a complex surgery to remove it. And from what I've read, most people don't need to have surgery at all until years after it first begins to malfunction. Simply cutting down on fats does the trick in most cases. Mine was very odd in that it had zero symptoms and died literally overnight. "The puppet thinks: It's not so much what they make me do, as their hands inside me..." Charles de Lint | ||

Howdy, all. Been a while since I dropped in. Hope your tummy is better, kathy. I've been busy, and haven't had time to share my good news with all of you. On February 21, 2007 at 7:13 AM I became a grandma for the first time. Yippee! Boy, weighted 7 lbs, 13 oz, 21 1/2 inches long. His name is Steve. My God, he is a beautiful child. (Every grandma's child is beautiful, of course.) Mom doing fine, though she had to have a C-section because Steve was too big for her uterus. She is a tiny, though sturdy woman. Daddy is sooooo proud. He was in the O.R. and cut the cord. I and Grandpa waited outside the nursery for the debut. Now he's 10 lbs, and 22 1/2 inches long, and in good health. Here, have a bubble-gum cigar! Way behind on everything because haven't been online very much. I have zero energy level to begin with, and with new grand baby to visit just too exhausted to do anything but visit, feed Steve, eat and sleep. (He's being breast-fed, but needs supplemental formula.) Blessings to all.

Hello everybody. Since I have to watch my diet, I will have to do all my eating here from now on. I will have a great big dish of ham and cabbage, with oodles of real butter, and a nice hunk of that soda bread. How about a tall glass of Guiness to go with it? mmmmmm... So, how are we gonna celebrate the coming of spring? Like buddie, here, I enjoyed the warm spring rain, left my car out of the garage so it would wash all the dust off. The ice is breaking up on the river, and gliding on the fast currant like mini icebergs are large chunks, heading downstream. We are under a flood watch for now, but it is just minor spring flooding that we have every year. Won't come near the house. Gonna turn cold again this weekend, maybe even a bit more snow. I want, of course, to have a spring fling type of party here at sal's. This time next week-y'all think about it now. (Digs into the food-this fat-free deal I have going on is getting old already.

What she said!!!  Thank the gods for Sal's! Got some of the lab results already from my test yesterday and my cholesteral is still borderline high. I've decided to try a 3 month regimen of policsanol (not sure I spelled that right), a natural alternative to the statins.

Patricia, I will be very interested to hear about what results you get from the natural alternative, as I also had (6 months ago) high bad cholesterol, and low good cholesterol. And, of course, I am NO fan of pharmaceuticals! And I am really scared of the statins. I wish you luck. And now, Sal, I would like a cup of chamomile, with a big spoonful of courage stirred in.

Happy St Patrick's Day! We had a big snowfall here yesterday and last night, think I'll have a bit o'Irish coffee and some toasted soda bread, thank you, Sal. My nephew is being given a surprise 40th birthday party tonight. Of course we'll be havin the Irish theme, with plenty o'beer and libations, toasts and cheers. For some reason, we always make our March celebrations coincide with the green day. Now I'm for thinkin this obsession with the green so close to the first day of spring has a bit o' the pagan in it, what with the Green Man an all. Sneaky way for the church to keep down the pagans of old by givin 'em their own holiday back, dressed up with a saint. If you look real careful-like, seems to fit with all the pagan holidays. Ostara-easter-rebirth Beltane-Mary, queen of the May- Samhain-Feast of all souls Well, you get my drift. Got a fire blazin on the hearth,and a green candle lit to celebrate the day. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of my Irish heritage, of the strength and humor and talent of the people who braved the passage to America from their beloved, famine ridden Ireland to make a new future here. The thing I noticed most while growing up is the humor, bravery, and joy in my mostly Irish family. That and the fact that they just cannot resist playing music and singing when we get together, even if it is just the playin o'the spoons. I drink to your health when I'm with you, I drink to your health when I'm alone, I drink to your health so often, I'm starting to worry about my own! Slainte!

Oh, mamas-i know how you feel. I went down and looked at the river coming up-we were under a flood watch-and I suddenly was overcome. I was in shock through most of the flood-now it hits me and I realise how awful it was. It’s easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble And it always comes with years. And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through the tears I'll toast to that! How about a fine mug o'Guiness!

Ah, pass the java Sal..[Sal pours a cup and gives it to me]...thanks...just cream, no sugar....I'm up way too early today. I had an epiphany about my abuse of power and self-rigtheous attitude and I'm all charged up and can't sleep any more. I think I've got to the root of seeing a pattern in my behavior that wasn't necessarily completely dominant, but was a flaw anyway. After reading those Pathwork lectures, I've been working on myself harder than normal. You should check them out Sal. We all have flaws, and we often need spiritual help to uncover them. This morning I woke way too early with a prior experience explained to me about how I had abused power and how it came out of my self-righteous attitude. I'm determined to not abuse my power again. So, any good news today? What's in this morning's paper? [grabs paper and reads headlines] Yeah, I'll have another cup of Joe. {Sal pours another cup] It's going to be a long day today Sal, glad you're open. Yeah, I'm feeling kinda lonely and blue right now. No, not a danish for me, thanks anyway for asking. I'm on a diet. Trying to impress a lady...Oh thanks Sal, glad you like the way I look...[sits quietly and stares out into the inky blackness of the early morning] I hope I've done good in this life. Ever wonder about that Sal? [Sal nods her head] Sometimes we just don't know, do we? [Sal agrees] Well, time for me to get going. [Sal hands me the check] Here's a 10, keep the change.
