@ Klara -- that's soooo cool!!! did the little fishies give you a pedicure?!? maybe their extreme fashionistas and know the rage! Ahhh, I wish I were sitting on your balcony enjoying it all. Lucky you!! Get some rest, you deserve it!!
@ mtsi -- what kinda of pizza tonight? Happy Friday to you too! Enjoy your long weekend!
@ Mark -- hope you're not too tired to come and visit us here this weekend. How's your daughter doing? Are they still on their honeymoon? Happy father's day Mark!! I maynot be on too much this weekend. Crunch time for packing and moving -- I've been procrastinating and haven't even begun to pack or sort. and now, it's mid-June and I only have two weeks left to get it all done. I intensely dislike packing and moving..... and the unpacking and resetting up..
HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!
Good Morning Beth, Yes I am tired but here for a minute or two. I have been on line with BOATUS to get my insurance and boat is picked up and motor being serviced. Bottom being painted and should be in the water in a few days.
Stefani is home from the honeymoon. They really didn't like the cruise at all. The food was horrible and dry for the whole cruise. have a great day and thank you for the Fathers day wishes.
Got to go and get ready for work. I just got home 12 hours ago and leaving again. I want to work on my boat and not go to work LOL
xoxoxoxo
Hey beth...I had a personal pizza with sliced jalapeno peppers...how about you?
We skipped Friday pizza night, but are in the process of making them right now. let's see..... Canadian (bacon, cheese, ham), Hawaiin (standard fare), and a veggie with goat cheese (more for me!
)
I wish I could take the top down too!! But, my jag is still under wraps and parked while my van.... well, it's a van! Enjoy the sun!!
Morning to Klara, Denise, Cara and (MIA) Sophie, Just saying Hi because I have to get to work and after work heading down to the Marina to mess around on boat, they towed it from the selling home yesterday so they can give her a tune up for the summer. Got to have her in good shape out at sea right
Bye see you later tonight. I want to retire for the summer and just go boating LOL This is going to be hard working on beautiful days and my baby is floating at dock calling for me LOL
We are on 'break' at this moment so I thought I would pop in and say hello to all.
In case I don't have another opportunity here is a heartfelt, "Happy Father's Day" to all you hubber dads. Hope you have an awesome Sunday just doing what you want to do.
Gotta run...back to our afternoon session...Hey, the topic of this retreat is:
PASSIONATE LOVE ! Hmmmm, nice subject don't you think?
Hi Denise, I love to be loved How are you dear. Just got home from work at 4:45 early today and heading down to the Marina to look at my new purchase and decide what has to be done and bought as far as safety things etc.
see ya later
Thanks...sitting in the man cave now listening to some great songs from the 80s...
Nice title...where are the pictures )
Google and HP earnings and views have dropped horrible. used to be about 500 on HP and now 200. Everyone must be on vacation I hope
Ok the jeep has been sitting too long...going topless again
Have a great day all!
I've been telling my husband we should go topless but he won't let me!
I don't know, Beth! I keep asking him that same question.
Hi Miss 100 You are doing so well Klara. I have been here for 2 years too and never hit 100. How is the weather down your way?
I worked today but home now and Linda and our Grandson are in Cape May NJ visiting her Father for a Fathers Day visit, I told her the traffic will be horrible on the Parkway but she went anyway.
I sent you a email
Where is everyone ??? Just sitting here writing one more hub. what else is new right LOL
Today I am going to grill a turkey burger for lunch and bison flank for dinner...Anyone else grilling today?
Hi all - I hope all is well...
Morning mts. I have to work again but I hope you have a wonderful day and if you are a father, Have a Happy Father's Day my friend
Happy father's day mark! going out.... soccer again, and then soccer again.
hi Beth and enjoy your soccer game and Hope you win!!!!!!
Hey Mark - Yes I am a father and had a great day...I hope you did as well...cheers friend
Mark, mts (don't know if you're a dad, but I'm including you either way) This is for you!!!
Happy Father's Day!!!
Thank you Klara Got home from work about an hour ago. Man that store was busy. I guess the children took their dads out to Costco for Father's Day LOL
The day was crappy in the am and part of the afternoon but now the sun is blasting and My daughter Stefani came down to the shore to visit me and Lin and now we are going to play some Golf and get some dinner
Fisrt I must go to the marina to see if they have started on my boat and to show Stefani my new prize
Much love and use your sunscreen !!!
So good to hear you're making the day last!
I did go to the beach today for a few hours with my husband, and for the first time in my life I'm starting to look Caribbean. What a tan!!! I'm scaring myself!
The heat won tonight! WOOOOOHOOOO!!! So excited!!!
I am sure you look beautiful with that golden tan that is so great your team won once more
I have to work again tomorrow 1-9:30 so I will not be around at night except when I write at 12 midnight LOL
Have a great Monday Klara .PS My score hasn't been in the 80's for two years. I am up set about that but no big deal I guess
Thanks and yes I am a dad...had a spectacular day
Good morning y'all!
Wishing y'all a great day and week! I may not be around too much for the next two weeks. My procrastination towards packing up the entire house and moving has now come to bite me in the butt BIG TIME. I'm down to 14 days to get everything done.
Hey Klara, wanna come up north and have a holiday? I'll give you a room and lots of food, but you have to help me move! Wish I were with you at the beach.... that would definitely get me moving!
Catch y'all later! xo
Good Morning Beth:) Where are you moving to dear. What part of Canada? Don't lift anything too heavy you know you have to watch your back and don't get hurt please.
Have a wonderful day Beth and I have to get ready for work again but I am off Tuesday and Wednesday and I can work on the boat
Pack everything and come on down! We'll take over the whole building with your boxes! Beach is waiting!
@ Mark -- I'll be careful. Staying in the Nation's Capital area but heading to a spot that half city/half country. It's a bit of a drive but I think it'll be alright. I'm a bit hesitant -- I'm use to having amenities close at hand. It's been a few years since we've lived in the country. Kids are not all that happy about it. Oh well. I can't please them all! At least, not until I start earning some real $$. Have a good work day tomorrow and enjoy your days off! Send some pics of your boat!! I'd love to see her and dream and live vicariously through you while you're sailing.
@ Klara -- ha ha ha you have no idea how much "stuff" the kids and I have colllected. I focused for a couple of hours today, and have 3 boxes to give to a friend and another 3 that I am taking to a consignment store tomorrow. This is barely making a dent in the garage. Then, I have someone (cough cough) breathing down my neck about not being more organized. Oh well... he gets to move the heavy stuff, I get to pack.
Tomorrow: more packing and sorting.
I counted my days wrong -- I only 11 days to go before we have to be moved out completely; house cleaned; yard fixed and all the deficiencies fixed (remember... my mastiff ate the back hall? I still have yet to re-drywall and paint!!)
I need some HELP!!!
I'm sure it'll all get done cause if I don't it's a penalty of $3k per month until I do. =:0 yea.... stiff fines.
Ok. I have to leave now.... peeling my fingers off the keyboard..... trying to make my eyes look away.... but wait..... I can type without looking!!
Seriously... gotta go (I even skipped soccer tonight.... shame on me!!)
Love y'all!
Enjoy your evening and catch you in the morning!
Beth, read this hub and you'll feel better about procrastinating!
http://redberrysky.hubpages.com/hub/The … Literature
@ Klara -- ha ha ha oh yea!! I feel soo much better... but the boxes are still empty... and flat.... Come on up! I'll be waiting with some sun (oh yes, 47C tomorrow plus humiditiy.... reminds me of living in Texas!!
)
@ Mark -- I'll be careful. That's why I have strong young sons! You can come anytime you like... to help or to watch or whatever you like.
Your company is always welcome.
Awe Thank you Beth Just registered my boat trailer and now heading down to the marina to polish it before it pours .The weather is so crappy everyday with those huge dark gray clouds
Catch up with you and the rest of the girls soon.
xoxoxo
Good morning, everyone! After almost two years writing for HP, I just got my "viewed 10,000 times" accolade! wooohooo!!!
Hope everyone has an awesome Tuesday. Beth, I'm on my way to help you pack! When you get a little break read that hub I sent you. You're going to die laughing!
Good afternoon sunshine Congrats on your 10,000 views!!!!!
On my way to polish my new baby but man it is humid LOL Off today and tomorrow Horray !!!!!
Have a great day and see you later
@ Beth- because lifting for sure. I wish you all the best luck in your new home in now ...10 days and counting. If I lived closer I would sure help you move
Love you all girls and have a great day
Hey Ray how is it going my friend? I'm heading out for a few hours so hold the fort and take care of those HubGirls please
It's going Mark.
Hold the fort and take care of the HubGirls? I could try, but I think you're better at it than I am.
Besides, being single puts me into a dangerous position when there are pretty ladies around.
Oh come on Ray you can do just as fine of a job as I You sound bummed out my friend. everything okay?
@ Cags -- you need some loving! xoxo
@ Mark -- where'd you go?
me, had to stop and go to lacrosse tonight. Last game before semi-finals on Thursday. Then, at the end of the second period, my son was pushed from behind. Not unusual, except he fell forward onto the rink (it's box lacrosse, so it's on the concrete in a hockey rink) onto his hand and his head nearly hit the floor. I knew something was wrong when he didn't bounce back up immediately. He did finally get up and he kept playing.
Well, two hours later, his whole hand and wrist and part of his forearm is swollen. I don't feel a break (or am I just wishing it isn't?). He's been iced, cleaned up and put to sleep. I'll check in the morning to see how it is. I may spend my day at emerg.... Ahg!! On a brighter note, he had 2 goals and 4 assists!
My trooper!!
Good night y'all!! xo
Awww... Beth, I'm sorry he got hurt. Him being a trooper... I wonder where he got that from?
THE HEAT WON TONIGHT!!! 3-1 Let's do this thing!!! One win away from the championship!
Congrats to Miami Heat and to you a real true fan
Boat all waxed up. Man it was HOT!! I was determined to wax every bit of the boat all by myself. I was going to use the buffer, but decided to do the whole boat by hand. Good exercise you know, Wax On--- WAX OFF LOL
night I just finished HUB # 337
Thank you, Mark! I'm going to bed with a smile on my face! Wax On, Wax Off!
So happy you got your boat all nice and shiny! Pictures will be coming soon, yes?
Yes, I will send you to your email because I took a few today so check you email
What are you doing up so late LOL. Sending them now and don't forget this is not a yacht you know it is a small fishing boat
It's beautiful, Mark! Congratulations! I'd love to have one of those, but my husband is not the adventureous type. It would just give us something to argue about -clean the boat, fill up the tank... lol
Mark, you know I don't sleep! good night!
Morning Klara Glad you like the boat. It is 5:45 am and here I am to start the day LOL
Wooohoooo! Mark, I'm so happy for you! I've got a busy day today, heading to Miami (it feels like a different planet now that I live in Miami Beach) to get my allergy shots, wash my car, go to Home Depot, etc. But tonight's the big game! If (scratch that out) WHEN we win today, my husband and I will be out there partying for the rest of the night! (well, I'm not really much a party animal, two drinks and I'm walking home singing Frank Sinatra). I'll have lemonade, how about that?!
Send me pics! I want to see that boat in the water!
i love your new pic Klara Try and take it easy and don't overdue. I hope your team wins tonight. That would be wonderful and don't party too much. have to get ready to go to work. I will take pic of boat in water and send them to you and beth
xoxoxoo
she's beautiful Mark!!! I am sooo excited for you!! I can picture you and Linda on the ocean........
Sorry, I didn't reply via email... I'm having a crazy week -- one with a sore paw (possibly broken...going to get xrays this morning), another with heat exhaustion, another dealing with the death of a teacher, another with final exam anxiety and another who's tore his leg to shreds on his bike (and not doing anything spectacular -- just from pedalling!)
That's 5 out of 5! With all this happening, I have't started packing!!! UGH!!
help?!?
enjoy your day! xo
I feel so bad for you and your children Beth. I hope and pray everything will be ok for you today and there is no break just a sprain, I have to get ready for work and then at 5pm the boat get put in the water.I work till 4pm today and all week.
Try and have a nice day dear and I will be praying everything will be fine
i FEEL SO BAD THAT YOUR SON IS HURT!!!He is a strong little guy and a brave one too to get right up and play.
I sure hope he feels much better in the morning Beth. Keep us informed of how he is Okay
Hey Klara!! Love your pic! You look so mischevious (and we know that you are!!)
enjoy the beach today! I wish we had the pool running already -- we hit 43C yesterday. Super hot and humid. The soccer game was not cancelled, so my son played. I didn't like the idea as I know that heat exhaustion at this temperature is high risk. They played him in goal and he barely walked off 15 minutes into the last period. He asked to come off at half time, but the play coach over rode me (he's quite the arrogant bleep!). Luckily, I told my son to walk off the field if he was feeling hot and light headed regardless of what the play coach said. He did walk off and I swear, if that coach sent him back, I would have screamed at him, taken my son home and filed a complaint. This guy puts the game before the health of the players and this is not the first time. Unfortunately, the way they tier the power of the coaches, he's above me in the chain of power.
This guy gave me a frowning look, but I killed him with my look and he turned away and didn't argue.
mama bear on the scene!!!
Oh, enjoy the beach!!! I keep watching your video for some relief!!
HI everyone.. remember me... Hope all of you are doing well and as cheerful as always.
Welcome back we have all missed you Sophie
Sophie!!!! So good to see you here!!! We missed you.
SOFS!!! We've missed you!!! Hope you're well! (and, you're still it!!)
@ Mark -- thanks. We're fine.... life always has it's bumps. He still wants to play the game tonight, but I'm hesitant. Emerg was too long, so we left. We'll try again tomorrow morning but get there really early.
have fun with your boat tonight! she looks marvelous!
I hope you can get waited on at the ER tomorrow. I worry about you and the children and hate when my friends and their families are injured or sick
Thanks Beth . I hope you can get in the ER tomorrow. It saddens me to see my friends and their families ill or injured
xoxoxo
Hi Mark, Klara...Beth.. Life seems to be happening in all the wrong ways around these parts... lost two of my extended family members to heart attacks and some major financial upheavals near home... I really don't know whether I am awake or dreaming... That is my story so far ... struggling to get to terms with things as they stand.
I hope all is well with you..
Mark congrats on your boat.. when are you coming to take us on a cruise.. LOL
Sophie, I'm sorry to hear about all your difficulties. Life is like a constant cycle of ups and downs. It will come around and you'll find your way to the top once again. I'll send prayers your way so you may find strength and faith.
By the way, you are mentioned in my Two Year Anniversary Video-Hub.
Hey Sofs ((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))
Hello to everyone else too.
Thanks Cags.. that is very sweet of you.. How have you been?
I'm doing well. I still have my health(what's left of it)
And you? I hope you've been doing well.
Hey troop! I just wrote my two year HP anniversary hub, and I'm thanking those of you that follow my writing. I appreciate all your support and friendship.
Klara
Hey everyone,
Here's the new hub Klara just published.
http://klarawieck.hubpages.com/video/My … My-Friends
Cags, I forgot to mention you. I have edited the hub to include you and Nell Rose, whom I absolutely love as well. Thanks for all your help!
Thank you very much Klara. You honor me.
Forgetting to mention wasn't a problem. I'm pretty ease to forget most of the time, unless there is an alternative reason for remembering.
You're welcome too. You're a sweetheart. Your husband is a very lucky man.
Thank you, Cags. I do have a question. Would I be breaking any HP rules if I link the names of the hubbers I mention to their profile pages?
No Klara I forgot and was writing a hub again. Are they winning? I am still amazed with your video Klara. How did you do that with the phone? Take video and then send to the video capsule?
CONGRATS TO THE MIAMI HEAT AND SO HAPPY FOR KLARA, YOU ARE A TRUE FAN!!! NOW GO OUT AND PARTY WITH MIAMI
Hi all...It's 3:00 a.m. and I'm on my lunch break. I managed to stay up and write a hub this afternoon, but I'm paying for it now.
10,000 views Klara? Congrats-I've yet to hit that milestone!
Adios.
(Pst...you hit that milestone a long time ago!)
Thanks Daughter of Mine
I hope you got a belly laugh from my Lucy moment,
Denise,
You must take a look at my 2 year anniversary hub. I am thanking you on that one! 10,000 views was a while back. I forgot all about it.
Hope you're doing well. Don't work too hard!
Just saw it! It is great! You are just so full of surprises. I had to laugh about what you said in your comment to Beth about your husband hearing all the news. Hey-at least we are REAL people, not like the tv shows that people get caught up in like the soaps...although, I suppose some of our events could be like a soap opera,
Anyway, it was great. Maybe hubbee should become a hubber?
Hi Denise, hope all is well with you. It has poured, lighting like you wouldn't believe. Sky to ground since 10 am and still happening as I write this. many house in my area were hit bu lighting today, floods everywhere, Costco had no electric since 2pm and had to close store down and prepare many things so we don't lose any food. I letf at 4pm and was suppose to launch boat but I knew that would happen and at 4:45 pm my phone rings and it is the guy that was launching it and said I am on rt 9 heading to the baot ramp on the Island and I said are you crazy???
Heavy heavy rain and lighting, he said no worry Mark , Yeah no worry because he will launch the boat and get back in his truck and I am the one that has to drive the boat in that weather, Lighting included to the dock at my sisters house. You know me,,,, no problem although I was afraid and alone and soak and wet drenched but I made it safe .
Boat is floating or should say it was when I left the house It is still pouring very bad. Tornados in Toms River up the road a bit from my house. The day was and still horrible. I hope my bady is ok float at the dock.
BTW I just hit 96,707 views I just checked it That mean nothing. All those views and hardly no money
xoxoxoxo
Hi everyone I'm baaaaack!!!!!
Looks like everyone has been very busy around here. I finally made it to summer vacation, took the kids strawberry picking and threw my back out. Now that I'm feeling better and today is the last day of vacation bible school, I'm hoping to be around a whole lot more. Or at least long enough to check in to say hi!
Klara, I saw you and your husband on the news partying last night!
Mark, enjoy that boat in this heat!
Sofs, sorry I missed your quick appearance. Hope all is well.
Beth, what happened to your son? Sorry, I didn't go back and reread the whole thread.
Hey Cags, how are things going?
Hey Cara, so good to see your smiling face. Last night was AMAZING! We did not go out though. It was too crazy out there.
I haven't told you mom about mentioning her in my video-hub. How could I not thank you two! You've been wonderful since day one.
Sophie posted yesterday. She's been going through some personal turmoil. I didn't get a chance to respond but I will now.
Hope to see you here more often!
Hello. Things are well. Hope so with you as well.
HI Everyone else!
Hey Klara,
Working hard? Nope. There's not many things I consider or even consider difficult.
Look at you again Klara with that 100 score. WELL DONE AGAIN!!!!
Late night for me. Went into work 11-4, but that didn't happen Got home at 8pm. Still no electric from that horrible storm yesterday and Had to bring in a huge generator truck to run store. Will be like this until Monday or Tuesday. Waiting on an breaker to be shipped from who knows where. Trash and cardboard pilled sky high and was in the back all day cutting cardboard to flatten out etc. I had to talk to the electrician via phone and he talked me through the process of the circuits to run trash compactor and the balers for cardboard in order to at least get rid of some stuff.
Know I am the only one that knows now what to shut off and turn on to get these things running HUmmmm. Interesting right. I have plenty of experience in the electric field.
I will work myself right up to the top you will see, SO I never got to go to the boat and poor Linda was waiting all day for 4pm when I would get home. Maybe tomorrow
Linda saw your hub with the video and loved it and said you are so pretty and sweet !!!! I said I already know that
Got to get shower and rest for another big day !!
Mark, I didn't know you guys had a storm up there! It's been raining for two days now, on and off. This afternoon I was out in the balcony with my dog reading Greg's book, when suddenly a huge dark cloud came over the neighborhood and it looked like the world was about to end. I think it was a mild tornato that touchdown somewhere near us. Two days ago I saw one form in the distance. It never touched down but it was an incredible sight.
Tell Linda that I say thank you! And that I'm looking forward to the pictures of her wearing her sunglasses and smile while going full speed on that boat! I don't know if the video was a good idea, but I really wanted to send a more personal thank you to all my friends. You guys are like family to me.
Good night and good luck tomorrow. You know your stuff, Mark. You just started working at that store and they're already depending on you. Good for you!
Good Morning Klara, Yes I feel good about that. My boss which is a older lady really couldn't thank me enough for doing that and staying longer to get it done.
yes It poured from 10 am till past 2 am the next morning, Tornado in the next town up in Toms River, Hail and all day with our stopping. Roads all flooded and many houses were I live got hit with sky to ground lighting,. It was really bad and to think I was out in the bay by myself taking the boat to the dock. God looks out fro me I know that
Got to get to work so have a wonderful Sunday Klara Your video is GREAT
Well-another hearty 'Congratulations' to Klara on her 2 yr anniversary and for her awesome surprise! I just finished checking it out-so cool.
Mark-Holy Lightening Bolts, Batman-glad to know you are safe, your new baby is safe and everything is up and floating. I consider that her christening, don't you? She's a beauty!
Cara-glad you are feeling better from the alcoholic strawberry smoothie with fresh strawberries, OOPS, I mean, 'glad to know you have recovered from your back strain', I am SO looking forward to my week up in MI visiting.
Sofs--(((((((HubHugs))))))) wherever you may be. Another 100 score-you go girl!
Beth-I'm not sure what the story is behind your son's injury-hope he is doing well. You rock, mama!
Hi Ray-still smiling?
Hello mts--wherever you are at the moment--(man cave?)
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Happy writing...I am off for two days (or one and a half actually, since I do have to sleep this morning ) Glad to be off work-it was the pits last night
Anyway, I'm going to shake that off and think positive thoughts.
Good Morning Denise. The sun is bright and shinning today and no humidity .It is beautiful but I have to be in work at 11 to 4 and then heading to the baot. yes you are so right the christening Linda didnt go on boat but watch it launched and met me at the house where the dock is
See ya later and have a great day
xoxoxo
You too. I haven't been to sleep yet but hope to get only three hours so I don't lose that day off sleeping! I'm so happy for your good job, boat, new home, etc. You've worked hard for it all and deserve it.
Well this has been an active place...trying to catch up...hello Denise and everyone
Good Sunday morning everyone! Hope everyone has a fantastic day. Looks like it will be a rainy one here but at least it will be a little cooler. 95 and humid is just a little too hot for me!
Good morning car...it is not too early for that cherry stuff is it? I hope you have a great day...morning all...cheers
Lol, *never* too early for the cherry stuff!
Hello Cara!!! have not seen you in a while and I hope you and your family had a great weekend Hope all is well with you and yours
Well back to writing
Bye
Thank you, guys, for passing by and checking out my little video. Lol I can't believe it got more views in 24 hours than my best hub in a year! Imagine the possibilities!!! Well, it was fun and it did bring luck to my HEAT team!
I've been reading Gerg's book and I can't put it down. I'm behind on all my comments, and haven't passed by in so long! I did stay until 4am last night writing a short story and I published it today, but that's about it.
So, I hear Mark is saving Costco from ruin. What is everyone else up to? Newsflash, please!
Busy cleaning and reorganizing the house and planning my little firecracker's fourth birthday party! Should be a pretty good one. Avengers theme (heavy on Captain America) for the Independence Boy who turns 4 on the 4th! Very patriotic!
So what is this book that you talk of my dear Klara????
CARA - Happy Birthday to the little one! It is very patriotic, but how cool is it that he'll always have fireworks on his birthday!
The book I'm reading is by one of our HP writers. Here is the link so you can pass by and congratulate him. Mark's book will be next, then Nell Rose's, and by then maybe TKsview will be published. So many good writers here! It's so impressive!
http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/99629?p … ost2130137 Here's the link to the forum I started.
MARK - I heard you managed to launch your rocket... I mean, boat! And with Linda as a co-navigator? That is awesome! Such wonderful news! How did she like it?
She loved it Klara. It was very windy and I had a few things to do that could wait till tomorrow. I looked at her saddened face and knew she was really looking forward to going out on the boat. I couldn't disappoint her one more day because she has waited for a couple days now, so I said I will stop working on this and lets take a cruise.
The smile on her face was priceless I have to say. One more dream coming true right in front of my eyes
Klara I have to say...We haven't ever been happier in our married life:) See, that goes to show you and me. When someone wants to help them self as I helped myself all things good then happen and I am sure proof of that right ??
What are you doing up so late I am heading to bed. It is raining here again and my rain tomorrow and I am off ,,, Rats
Night dear
staying busy with computer work and starting a new job next week...getting ready for a week in LBI NJ...
Hey mts that is where I live and have my boat. What town are you going to .We are in Ship Bottom
Hey Mark...we will be in surf city (bay side) in late july...are you going to be around then?
I am always around because I live here. I am about 6-8 minutes for LBI called West creek. My sister has a house in Ship Bottom right on the bay and that is where I dock my boat. The house has been in the family since the early 70's.
I am off the Island out of harms way of storms etc. Let me know what week you are there and maybe we will be the first to meet Huber to Huber face to face. That is what I want to do sometime with our HubGirls. One day we will all meet.
Our house on the bay.
Brant Beach get sand pumped from the Ocean to build up the beach. Watch a site that is to watch with Dredging barges out off Ship Bottom coast line and pumping that sand to Brant Beach. You must go see that!!!
I sent you a friend request on FB
That would be great to connect...the last week in july we will be there...we are renting the top part of a house and I will look up the street name...cheers
Ok Stay in touch with the date and street name. I know the Island very well being brought up here since the 70's LOL
Have a great Day
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Mark, it's never too late to be happy. That's for sure!
mts, A NEW JOB?! Congratulations! Less time to spend in the man cave, but you'll have more money for gas. That jeep has long ways to go still!
Denise, just read your recipe hub. Wonderful! The pictures made me very hungry as well. Congrats!
I was going to go to the MIAMI HEAT parade this morning but I changed my mind. I don't like going alone to these things and my husband has to work. Plus I'd have to take the bus because parking in downtown will be expensive and stressful. So I'm staying home and I'll watch it on TV, which will probably make me envious of the people that are attending and I'll end up leaving five minutes too late with my camera in hand, running like a madwoman all over Miami Beach trying to catch a bus, and then by the time I'll get there it'll be over and I'll be unhappy for the rest of the day. FINE! I'm gonna go get dress! I'll GO!!! You guys always find a way of convincing me!!! How do you do it?!
Have fun Klara and be careful too. I have been pouring and thunder since 5am and will not let up. I want to get to the boat
Hey video woman yep...less time in man cave at least for the first 3 months but closer to home...less stress...OPA!
mts, are you Greek by any chance? Just wondering... my favorite singer is Greek. Maybe you know her - Eleni Vitali.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOLak47jipk
Tell me if this is not one of the most blessed voices in the world!
I am 50% greek on my mothers side...I used to be able to speak and read fluently but now I only remember the curse words I have managed to keep the culture alive as we eat greek food many times per year but I do not recognize the person you mentioned...I have a few yanni cds though
(((GASP))) Yanni? You've got to be kidding! So many great Greek musicians and you buy Yanni's music?! You and I have to have a long talk, mts! Yes, we do!
Tell me if this is not one of the most beautiful voices in the world. Such depth of emotion, such control of technique... there is no comparison and I don't need to understand the language to get the meaning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOLak47jipk
You can be comforted as I did not buy the cds...my wife did and I listen occasionally but he is not as good as the soundtrack to My Big Fat Greek wedding...going to check out the link now...brb
*Love* My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In my house we call it my Big Fat Romanian Wedding since my husband is Romanian and we got married in a Romanian Orthodox Church. Trust me, the movie could almost be my life!
she is really good...interesting though because the music seems to be a mix of modern Greek and other Europe countries...very good though and I am ready to scrap the Yanni cds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDfZmnnCXkQ - try this
Yes, Eleni is a gypsy from Greece. That's why her music sounds a little different.
Check out my friend's website. Now this is true Greek music. http://www.myspace.com/dimitrisdourtmes/videos
I'm sorry about Yanni. I'm not trying to put him down. He's good at what he does which is new age music. But the virtuosity that these folk musicians demonstrate is often unnoticed next to the more flambouyant act of musicians like Yanni, who put on really impressive productions with a lot of money.
No worries...I am not offended as it takes much more than yanni to get me mad...I will check out the other link also...cheers (I mean OPA)
Love Greek food, Greek music, the Greek Islands. My husband and I had our first date in downtown Detroit in Greektown at a Greek restaurant that had live singers, dancing and belly dancers. It was very cool but unfortunately is now a strip club. We went to the Greek Islands for our honeymoon and he says he will retire in Greece but I don't think so!
wow the Greek Islands for the honeymoon...I would love to go there one day and find relatives...
KLARA ARE YOU OKAY?? I AM WATCHING THE WEATHER CHANNEL AND YOU GUYS ARE GETTING TONS OF RAIN. I AM GETING THE SAME. IT JUST WON'T SHUT OFF WITH THE POURING RAIN AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTING.
MY JOB IS WORSE NOW, NOW THE GENERATOR CAN'T KEEP UP AND HALF THE STORE IS OUT.
BE SAFE DEAR AND STAY ON THE 5 TH FLOOR (I THINK THAT IS THE FLOOR # RIGHT?
Hi Mark, we had a lot of rain for three days but today it was cloudy but no rain. Just came back from the movies. I'm heading to bed... very tired. Night!
Good Morning Klara, Yeah I have been so tired too and have been sleeping too much.Maybe working too hard and catching up with me.
Well the rain is gone and the sun is out BUT very very windy, so don't know if I will take boat out today. I still have to go there and change the mooring whips to the other side. My sister wants the right side of the dock LOL
Have a great day Klara and see you later
xoxoxo
Here is the boats in the water safe and sound. I went to check on them between storms lOL
Our boat on right and sister's on left
I saw the picture. It looks great!
I'm heading to Miami (the mainland) now. I have a million things to take care of, so we'll see how much I get done. I've been trying to catch up with my HP comments and reading, but it's impossible. I have two other hubs written waiting to be published and haven't had a chance. So many people commented on my video that I'd like to take the opportunity to return the favor and read (hopefully more than one hub) of each hubber, but I can't find the time. I haven't written for Ezine in a while either. And I opened a Wizzley account more than a week ago and it's still waiting for my first article. Ugh! What am I going to do? I might have to train my dog to type!
Have a great afternoon, Mark. See you later online!
Hello and goodbye ... have to hit the road soon for work and will be out of contact for a bit. Hope all is well.
mts-you have to find Cara's wedding hub to fully appreciate what she was talking about in her dialogue with you. The wedding was interesting with all of the rituals of the ceremony, the bride and groom were stunning, (I'm biased of course) and the reception was quite an experience!
Klara-I'm watching the news/weather reports-everything ok in your neck of the woods?
Hi Mark-how's the new baby?
Beth--what's new? Job? Soccer games? New home? ??
Hello Ray--what's new with you?
Cara-glad to see you had a moment between your 'home' work to get on for a bit.
My news: I took my nephew for his first drive out on the public road. It was an experience. I cannot imagine him driving on an expressway/highway/ or busy city street. He talks out loud throughout in a negative manner and cusses up a storm. Driving to the credit union is a 5 minute drive down one small road to the high school (basically around the block), through the h.s. road, and onto a back road by the local gym. That was it. Somehow, we ended up over the curb and onto the credit union grass. That's when he really started cussing. Thank goodness the parking lot was almost empty. I managed to persuade him to drive us back home and park (4 feet from the curb on an angle). I'm going to buy life insurance before I ask him to drive the public streets again. Not sure this (18 yo) boy will ever pass a road test!!
Hey Denise
Not much here. I'm doing well. Hopefully, things are moving along for you and you're doing well too.
Hey Denise, Baby very sick. Had to be towed in by my sister today. Engine was running great and then over heated . Blew a head gasket
I am not very happy today. Lin and I threw the anchor out and waited for my sister to tow me back to the dock. Other than that all is well.
Hope everything is good for you
Your Nephew will do great of course with lots of practice. Got to go and get a shower LOL
Yes, I recall the boat my husband and his buddy owned for a short summer. I will never forget the time they got stranded in the canal because of engine trouble. Oh, the stories I could tell... Like Laurel and Hardy
I'm sorry about your misfortune. It will get better!
Good morning mts, Mark, Cara, Denise, Beth (still moving?), Cags, Sofs, and anyone else who might show face today. It's a beautiful Wednesday morning and hopefully it won't rain anymore so I can go to the beach for a little while.
Good Morning Klara and everyone else. I called mechanic Klara and her is going to check it out. I will have to get ready for work soon. You and I must go on line at the say time . you at 59 seconds when I logged in LOL
Have a great day at the beach.
have fun and bring your Greek music I am going to head out myself - probably to wash the Jeep
Good morning to everyone! The sun is back and I just came from the beach. I hope you are all having a beautiful Thursday!
How nice for you! I feel like we are in Florida with you today Klara. It's going to be pushing 100 today and it's just too hot to even hit the beach. We will be headed to the library instead!
Geez, Cara! I will be in Granada, Spain in less than 2 weeks. They are in the 100's but it's dry weather so you don't sweat as much as we do down here in South Florida.
Something is really messed up with the forums. When I hit "your" it gives me this long list of forum threads I'm not following. I don't know what's going on. Anybody?
Hi Klara and all the rest of the HubGirls I have been very very busy at work and working extra hours etc. The 4th is days away and you may think it was tomorrow.
All the shoebees are coming to the shore LOL. Weekend warriors or whatever you want to call them LOL
Published a hub that has been in the vault for about a week and now I am hitting the sack . Early to work again but on a good note I am off Tuesday and wednesday t3 days from now.
Boat being worked on but do I care, right I am always working now and no time to play on my boat. Sad. I would like to work about 1 hours per day :LOL:
Bye and lots of love to you OH 102 degrees here today that is HOT PLUS Humid
Okay..I am here. Am I the last one to post? Interesting idea.
Hi Jo--I was just thinking of you today. Nice to see you.
really? that is cool. :0 good thoughts I hope! How have you been?
I am on my way over to see you..
Hi Cags--wow, what a big grin...you aren't up to something mischievous are you?
aren't you funny Cagsil! ) It will be 105 degress here and 100 the day after! I know where I will be..right behind Cagsil! Please pass the ice water....
So the forums are all out of whack. When I go to latest activity, then "your" it's showing some threads that I'm not even following. What's up with that?
Good night, everybody. I'm outta here.... it has been a crazy day over here. Tomorrow will be better.
Okay how long is this going on for? I want to be the last one to post. I have to keep Cagsil busy.. any suggestions?
Great Friday morning everyone! Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday! Busy finishing up two hubs and then cleaning for my company!!
Hello...I'm on my dinner break. It's always way too short. I am sooooo tired today. Didn't sleep before work due to other obligations. can hardly wait till 7:30 a.m.
what a weird night here on HP. Nothing seems to be working right.
Adios everyone...maybe I will be back on around 3 pm tomorrow if I wake up that early.
It is blazing hot here--three digits the whole w/e predicted. How do people without air conditioning do it??? (maybe ice cubes?)
Good night...have fun
good morning everyone...it is late for me at 5:40am but I slept in today cheers all...
Hello world!
Mark, don't work too hard!
Denise, buckets full of ice cubes for you!
mts, sleeping in, heh?
Where is Beth??? Still moving?
Hello everyone else! XOXO
Klara
Hello everyone!!!
I'm still packing and moving.... I have to finish by 6 pm tomorrow night so I have Monday morning to clean the house. >.< Any takers to clean?!?
In the meantime....
son has sprained wrist which is much better news than a broken one.
super hot and sunny every day -- 30+C
friends of my son helped out yesterday and it made a HUGE difference.
the walls that my mastiff ate are almost completely repaired. cut the hole, filled it with new drywall, plastered and now I am waiting for it to dry before sanding and priming. I'm now looking for door trim with matching profile to replace the ones that he ate....
what else....
ugh... have to go..... the trailer is back for another load....
oh yea,
HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!
take care y'all and I'll be back soon!!!
OH YEA!! ONLY 12 more to reach 1000 followers!!! YAY!!
Beth! So good to hear you're almost done!
Wall-eating Mastif, eh? Ouch! Feed that dog, will ya???!!!
Great to hear that your son is doing better. And I wish I could be there to help you clean, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Actually, just finished. I'm going to hit the shower and start cooking. My friends are coming over... a whole bunch! And my dog is sick of the stomach, and I am just hoping and praying that she either gets well on her own or at least hangs in there until Monday so I don't have to pay for emergency vet services. They cost a fortune! She is my baby, so I am truly worried about her.
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
KLARA!!!!
Awwwwweee, I feel for your furbaby!!! what about charcoal? I tried that with my rottie pups once when they were sick. It worked but you have to be careful of the amount you give them. I hope she recovers quickly. Animals have a stronger immune system than humans.
Have a wonderful time with your friends tonight!!! Finally, you get to relax and let your hair down!!!!
YAY!!!! Enjoy yourself!!
And thank you! It's a few days early, but just incase I'm not back online before the 4th, HAPPY JULY 4TH!!
Thank you, Beth. I'll be shopping for a new dress on the 4th. I have a wedding to attend in Spain this summer, so my husband is taking me. He knows that if it's up to me I'd probably show up at the wedding wearing jeans and flip-flops! Lol Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit.
Have a great weekend!

This has been perplexing me for a while - has something changed or have I just gone ga-ga?Being in a different time zone from most Hubbers, I rely on being able to click the "Your" button to catch up with who's posted on threads since I commented.Recently I've been missing comments...
