u r sometimes very funny trw

well 1st friday was a flop lastnight, at 7:30 i took a walk and i saw 3 open stores and they were all on the corner of strand and queen cross,most store owners think it's a waste of time and in months with a jump up there should not be a first friday,and a cab driver told me the cabs don't drop off at market square on ship days anymore but down at gov parking lot because they were more or less told by a store owner down in that area to do this and then some cruise ship passengers told me that they were told there's nothing on company street and they should avoid it,lol oh the drama,and the maitenence for the guy that owns thebongo's property toldmethat 54 was going to takethe bar over,i wish it would just stay closed,everytime it's open the drug dealers congregate on the corner

* so glad i am not a tree!!! *

well the new barber in lavallee has gone missing,the ladies at the corner shoppe have not seen him for weeks and alot ofguys have been stopping by for cuts myself included,dude spent all that time and money fixing the place up and now he's gone,neither of his numbers work,oh well,back to the 100 year old PR in town,lol i got home the other day and one of the neighbors was having a bday party for a small grandkid and they had a kareoke machine and it was awful but not quite as bad as drunken kareoke from sylvies,i really need a 15 foot high wall to block out the sound hahaha

I don't know about the baseball bat but the nail in the trunk works. My grandfather used to do that to get trees to produce.

* ok, dougtamjj, my uterus hurts just thinking about that! *:-o

ok the trees have been beat and nailed,that was fun,now i need to work up the ambition to dig holes for pineapples and a plumeria or frangiapanni,i wanted to read some page turners so i've read every grisham book written in the last week,the library had them all and now my mind is all lawyerly

well i'm off to off the wall for pizza,i met this couple at work yesterday,their 3rd time here she retires from the KCPD next year and she had an interview with the VIPD yesterday and he's a private security guard,bounty hunter and bail bondsman,both appear to be in their 40's,very nice and lots of questions,muscles and tattoos on both of them everywhere,lol

had 3 slices of crispy meatlovers a bottle of water and tip for 18.50 and now later i can go to rowdy joes for the blucheese cheesecake entree salad,diana was working and it's fun to restaurant gossip with her,she tells me the north shore stuff and i tell her the town stuff

Tami, we installed our retractable screen door today . . . have you installed yours? It was a little tricky since our door frame isn't designed like the examples they had in the instruction book. Guess that's why my man doesn't read the instructions . . . got it working like a charm!

What's the deal with the nail? My tangerine and orange trees having nothing but leaves. How fast will the nail work? I'm running out of OJ for mimosas!

Watched the fireworks from deck . . . good show again!

It's been pretty windy today off and on in the rain forest. Just a couple sprinkles earlier. Bright moon now.

Hoping to get to Rowdy Joe's tomorrow.

Is Rowdy Joes' where N2the Blue used to have their scuba shop before they moved it to F-sted?

I have been whining and moaning the last couple of days feeling down. Hubby and I took the afternoon off and went to the Buccaneer for a couple of hours and then home to shower, feed the animals and then off to Sunset Grill for dinner and fire works. Our food was long in coming and I took a bite of my baked potato and made the comment that it wasn't quite done and I was still feeling a bit grumpy wanting to complain. Hubby ever so gently took my chin to face him and said, " We are on a beautiful island in the Caribbean, dining by torch light, watching beautiful fireworks. Our son is playing with other children having a great time not bothering us. A lot of women would kill to have what you have". Wow, what an eye opener. Happy 4th everyone.

Our gardener told us that his grandmother always said to take paper bags and beat the tar out of your bushes and trees to make them grow and bloom. Right after that Hurricane Rita came through this area (S.E. Texas), beat the tar out of the bushes for me and sure enough EVERYTHING grew wildly and bloomed unusually for months after that. So maybe there's something to the bat after all! I've heard of putting nails in the soil around certain plants to make the flowers turn a different color-- I believe it's the iron that does it. Keep talking to the papayas!:-) When I read that plants responded to talk/music/emotions, I started rubbing on the leaves and talking lovingly to one of my more pathetic house plants like it was a sick child and you wouldn't believe how that thing responded. It was amazing to see. Then I got bored , or forgot to do it and the poor thing is back to limping along. I feel guilty now everytime I catch sight of it. Thank goodness it couldn't talk back--- I've already got a mother to nag me about ignoring her....;)

dougtamjj -

i know you have had a rough past couple of weeks, so it's understandable how just about anything would get under your skin. so glad the hubby could bring you gently to earth. it's not always easy living in paradise, but we are all here for a reason, especially if we have chosen to be here (i've heard it referred to as "here by choice, not by chance").

cheers to you!

mrs.slocombe died,much more upsetting than the other dead celebs

chris the box works like a charm but you're gonna have to come over and show me stuff,i'll pay you with beer

LOL i have a terrified dog clinging to me and shaking so much i need to hook her up to a butter churn,thunder and pouring here

One of mine is outside barking and running around outside like she's a mad dog. But start a weedwacker and she's attached to my leg. I figure once every couple of months she gets a great work out.

Thunder earlier here but not much rain.

Looks like rain all day according to the radar

just watched "fried green tomatos",now i'm watching "at summers end",done raining
