Hi Klara, Beth, Cara, Denise and Sophie, I hope all is well with everyone ![]()
Miss all of you because I am so busy at work and when I get home I am beat.
Just ate my dinner at 10pm and now getting a shower and hitting the sack although I will be up at 1am wide a wake but all of you are sleeping so I have no one to talk to LOL
Love all of you girls and hopefully when I am off Tuesday and Wednesday we can all touch base again. I haven't even replied to a whole bunch of comments and I feel so bad about that, but I will get to them. Boat is still being worked on at the marina. Hate to see what that will cost me ![]()

Here is how high the bay is at the end of Dock Road down the street from my house. It has poured so hard and over Atlantic County have no electric. 160,000 people and we sold ever generator today as well as Lowes, Home Depot etc. The power may get restored by the 4th of July. Thank God I live in Ocean County
At the end is the bulk head and to the right is the parking concrete stoppers
0Beth happy canada day!!!
Cara keep those recipe hubs coming
Denise congrats on your recipe hub
Klara I hope you had fun with friends
Mark I hope u get your electric back in time to show me your boat
PDH hello
Sophs hope all is well
Good Morning to everyone. I hope you all have a great Sunday. I hope you baby feels better Klara. I have to go. Running late for work . Love you all and see you soon.
I wonder when I will be able to go on my boat ?????????????????
0Ah... such a nice weekend!
Mark, let us know when your boat is up and running. Sorry about the storms!
mts, what is happening?
Beth, still moving? almost done?
Cara and Denise, having a nice time together? ![]()
Sofs, sill MIA?
Alright, everyone! Have a beautiful night and we'll touch base tomorrow. ![]()
What did everyone leave me high and dry??
Where is everyone. Very bad thunder storm here again and my dog is going crazyyyyyy.
Home finally from work since this morning so I guess I will say good bye and good night all ![]()
0Good morning, everyone!
Heading to the vet with my dog. She's been sick of her stomach for four days now. I'm hoping it's nothing serious.
Have a good Monday!
Morning Klara I hope you dog get better real soon. Let me know what the Vet says.
They are so helpless when they are sick and look up to us to take care of them and I know you do a great job at that Klara. See ya later I have to get ready to go to work
Thanks, Mark. I'm covered in white fur from her being all over her mom. She was literally hiding her face under my arm as she waited for the results of her labwork. She is okay. She just caught a virus. But either way, I'm overprotective and I know I have an issue with this. But I'm not risking it. I have noticed a strange color in her can food and she has been rejecting the food ever since. So I'm on a mission to prepare her daily meals from now on. I think I might be able to save some money while I'm at it. Her canned food costs $2 per can and can only be purchased at the whole food store. Can you imagine?
Hope you have a good day at work. See you later!
Hi Everyone! Successful trip to the airport to pick up my mom. She's spending the evening with my sister so I will be busy writing, writing, writing!
Hellooo!!!!! ![]()
Hope everyone is fine -- especially those of you in caught in the power outage and storms.
Be safe!
Let's see.... notmuch time.... I'm still moving.
The second storey and basement are completely emptied, washed, scrubbed and shiny.
I'm finishing off the main floor and garage today. Final walkthrough by the buyers is tomorrow at noon.
A friend offered help... she decided to help me clean my fridge without my knowledge. Three hours later, I ask for the fridge items to take to the next fridge: she hands me one cooler, one grocery bag. That's it. I ask her if she's missing any bags -- I had a whole freezer full of medicinal herbs and cooking ingredients that do not originate where I am. She shrugs her shoulders and says: I threw it out because I didn't know what it was and it looked half opened. =
I could have (and still can) throttle her scrawny li'l neck!! (yea, not like me but she didn't even so much as ask me if I wanted to keep or throw it out!!) And now, it's too late to retrieve it all -- garbage dump!!!
UGH!!!
Oh well, back to the mundain task of moving..... Oh, and just to make things really fun -- my kid's dad took my van to pull the trailer and comes back with it all scratched up. He took it past evergreens, well, THROUGH, evergreens to get to the rear of the building. >.< Then, says, oh, look, your van isn't scratched. It's just dirt. >.< So much for my spanking new van!!! ![]()
ok, enough venting.... I'll just gulp air when I wanna vent!!! Thanks for listening, and
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO YÁLL!!! I may not be back on for another two weeks, or if I'm lucky, it'll be sporadic. ![]()
Luv yáll! (ugh, french keyboard thingy again....)
Oh, LORD, BETH!!! Even your keyboard is acting up! What's up with that?!
Breathing helps... just keep pushing this baby out and soon it will all be over! Wish you all the best! XOXO
Klara
Oh my Beth! So sorry to hear about all of that. I can only imagine your frustration because I know I would be feeling that way! Hang in there, it will get better soon. ![]()
0Good morning, good people! Enjoy your day and the holiday week. ![]()
0Hi Motown!
All winners have a great Tuesday... I think that's what today is, isn't it?
Good Morning Klara and all the wonderful people here in this forum . Hope you have a great 4th of July and the weekend ahead.
Klara I am so glad to hear that you baby will be okay. That is great news!!! I am off and heading out for a late breakfast LOL
Have a great day and see you when I get back. My boat is not done so I can not play in the water on my 2 days off. ![]()

Snufalufagus. Its not just a fluffy elephant. Was Big Birds scapegoat. Oh, yeah, he was.
Hi Girls and Ray. Well I am home and not from the boat. They called me in in a panic and needed me to work on my day off
I hope they appreciate all I have done in the last month or so. It feels like I have been there for over one year.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July. I know I am off tomorrow because the store is CLOSED ![]()
Still running on generator for almost 1 and half weeks. Bad storm blew out our main breakers and have to have them custom made
love and bye
Mark, good thing you have a generator. I don't have one, so in the case of a hurricane, we're screwed! Well, at least the pigeons will be safe. They've taken over the balcony. I'm cleaning poop all day long.
Have a fun Fourth of July. We'll talk soon.
Happy 4th of July Klara and to your husband too. You should buy one of those Plastic Owls that you can hang from trees or just sit on a table etc to keep all those birds away. It does work
Have a happy and safe day. I am off today for sure the store is closed LOL
Happy 4th of July to you too mts and to everyone else, and stay cool Mark! We will be busy celebrating my son's 4th birthday today! 
Here I am with my little Independence Baby!
Sweet, Cara! You've got a double FOUR there! Happy birthday to your son. I hope you have a blast!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL AMERICANS AROUND THE WORLD!!!
What a beautiful picture Cara. I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July. Tell mom Hi and be safe as well. ![]()

In and out...... maybe catch y'all later!
miss y'all!!
xox
0hi all...been a busy week and I hope all is well...saw movie TED today and it was rude and crude...I loved it ![]()
@ Klara -- semi done. We're out of the house and into a temporary space. Supposedly, we were suppose to move from this place to the final stop this weekend but it's too hot to move.
And, I'm just too tired to move things again. I'm thinking of going away for a short vacation!!
Miss you too!!
@ mtsi -- ha, my older two watched it and thought it was hilarious. ha ha ha I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to watch it, but hopefully.... Besides, I kinda like the thunder song.... ![]()
And how are you going to get me out of the way?? Snatch me up with your talons?? ![]()
how are you Cags??
xoxo ![]()
now, now.... you know what will happen if you start that bumping thing again!!! ![]()
I'm good. Been busy moving... and still am in the middle of my move.
But it's so hot, that I can't stand packing and moving all the boxes. ![]()
0Where is Mark today?
Cags, eight hours all by yourself. I'm taking over for the night.
Beth, short vacation? Come with me to Spain. We could learn how to dance flamenco together, at least one of us will look like she's dancing! Lol Finish that move already! We miss you!
Mts, I haven't seen that movie yet, but the previews look very funny.
I'll probably wait until it's on video. We used to go to the movies all the time, but now we've gotten lazy.
Good night to everyone! See you all tomorrow!
Well, I've decided to have a conversation with myself since you've all left me here all alone!
So, Klara... How have you been, my friend? Don't you miss all your HP Last One To Post Is The Winner buddies?
---------
Oh, Yes! Thanks for asking, Klara. I miss Mark, Cara, Denise, Ray, mts, Sofs, and Beth. I wonder why they've LEFT ME ALONE!!! ![]()
So sorry, mi amiga,
I've been a slug this week: on vacation with Cara and family and kicking back doing other things.
Happy Sunday to you
Adios!
Not so fast there. I am now the winner as of this minute
Hi Girls and bye girls , Have to hit the sack. Very tired and depressed because now the lower unit on boat engine in shot and mechanic say new a new engine.
So here we go into the thousands of dollars. Maybe I should sell the thing, because what the heck I work all the time so when will I have time to even use it anyway??
Love you and night
That really stinks! Sounds like the old owner knew there was something wrong with the boat and got rid of it before it blew up. People just can't be trusted. Mark, consider the idea of getting it fixed. It's your dream and even if you can only go out on your days off, it's better than nothing.
Good night! We'll talk tomorrow. :-)
Morning Klara, Ys you are right, I will invest in the new motor because the baot is a great and sea worthy boat. Got to get ready to go to work and work till 9:30.
I was supposed to have off tues and wed, but they changed it and only have tomorrow off. Well better than nothing right dear.
Have a wonderful day Klara and I'll try touching base with you after I am done work;
xoxoxoxo
Hello and Good Morning to you all
1:45 am and here alone just writing my second hub of the night after working 9 hours . I think everyone is in beddy LOL
I think I had too much coffee after work and now I can't sleep. ![]()
I might as well stay up because the sun will be coming up in a few hours ![]()

0Good morning, Mark. This will be my sight after tomorrow . . . 

Pretty, huh?
Beautiful Klara and good moring to you also. When do you leave on vacation? I will miss talking to you unless you have a PC there. Is it Spain you are going to? I am really off so far today SunShine ![]()
![]()
Have a wonderful day
and see you later. I am going to take Linda for a late Breakfast and then I will be back.
@ Klara --
Beautiful!! I wish I could go with you!!! There's been some problems with my move.
The house I was moving into has a HUGE water problem in the basement that the owners tried to cover up. Now, I am stuck in this "temporary" place until it's fixed. Meantime, all of our clothes, summer things, and important things are sitting in the new house's garage.
yes. I think I will join you in Spain.
I could use some distraction..... dark hair, soft eyes, sense of humour, good looks, kind heart.....
@ Mark -- oh Mark!! That's aweful about the motor. Have it fixed or look for a second hand one in the trades papers. Sometimes, there are farmers (older fellows) who know how to fix all kinds of motors for a song. I don't know about down there, but up here, there's a farmer here who fixes everything for $30. And, he guarantees his work -- and the fixes make everything like brand new!!
She'll be skimming across the water before you know it.
xox
@ mtsi -- what's new there?!?
@ Cags -- xox
(bump) lol
@ Cara -- have a wonderful vacation!
@ Denise -- enjoy your vacation!! ![]()
@ Sophs --
where are you????
catch y'all later!! prepping for a meeting later this week. Hoping to start my own business.
![]()
Hi ya Beth. Hope all is well with you and the children. Is everything going good with the move Beth?
Wish I lived closer because I sure would help you if you needed me
Lin and I just bought and hung 3 Sea Gulls on the front of our home. It looks so sea shorey . We both love sea gulls and just love the sounds they make.
Have a great rest of the week and be careful moving heavy things please.
love
xoxoxoxo
Hey Beth...sorry about the water problems...maybe we can use it to brew some Moose
Been busy but I will try to stop in more
cheers...
Hello Cagsil-bump bump to you ![]()
Hey Mark-stay with the plan...see how much a new engine will cost before aborting it all.
Klara-what a beautiful view...lucky you. Enjoy
Hi Beth-back to work today
But, had a blast with my kids and grandkids and my sister was also visiting in Michigan. ![]()
Hi Cara--see you ? I'm not sure when ... Had fun and it was relaxing! Post some photos of the birthday boy. ![]()
Sofs--Thoughts are with you...
hope you are well.
mts-I so thought of you today when I saw a 'personalized' mancave sign,
Adios--I'm hitting the road for work...
Hi Denise
I miss you and have been thinking of you and where you have been
I will stay on plan and search the net and people I know for a good deal on a engine.
I hope you had a great time with Cara and the family. That is so nice you get to spend time with them being so far away from each other.
Talk to you later ![]()
xoxoxo
Hi Denise...I hope you are enjoying the vacation...Is it wrong to steal the man cave sign
Tell Cara hello...
cheers...
Hey Denise ![]()
I see you're in the bump, bumping mood.
Hope you're well
![]()
Hey Mark, what's up? How are you?
Still soaking up the sun and having fun? I hope so. ![]()
0Alright. 1:20am and I'm turning in for the night. I have to wake up in five hours to finish cleaning up the house before my friend comes over. We've been friends since I was eight and she was nine when we met in the music conservatory. So she is house/pet sitting for me so the two of us can go to Granada, Spain. I'll be visiting the Alhambra among other things. I'm hoping to write a few hubs on Andalusia, flamenco, Moroccan culture, and of course, the Alhambra. I haven't been there in four years and I really miss it. It's hauntingly beautiful.
Beth, I'm sorry about the house, hon'. I hope you fix your situation soon. You've become a traveling gypsy but of course, that's not such a bad thing after all. You learn to be flexible and you also learn who your true friends are. Funny how in times of need the strangest people come to the rescue, huh?
Denise, your Spanish is fabuloso! You are so inteligente!
Mark, I hope you get that boat fixed soon enough. You need to be in the water! Are you a Pisces by any chance?
Sofs, MIA - We miss you.
Cags, I did what you suggested and it helped a little bit. I only worked on a couple of hubs but traffic is better. Thank you!
mts, I haven't seen you around. Did you move from the cave to the jeep?
Cara, what happened with your adult education job? Did you find a position?
I don't know how much time I'll be spending online. Depends on whether I can tolerate the heat or not. It's over 100 in Spain right now, so I might become nocturnal during my stay. I'll stay in touch though. Take care!!!!
Klara
Hello Klara...you know Greece is not far from Spain...hope you are enjoying the trip it must be beautiful there...cheers and have fun
Didn't get the job Klara...
I'm sure there is something else in store for me. Have a wonderful vacation! I'm jealous! ![]()
Klara-Muchas gracias, mi amiga. I envy you your travels to Spain. It has been the one place I have dreamed of visiting since I was 18 yrs old (40 yrs now). I love the language, the flamenco dancing, the colors, haha, the energy!! the coastline, the sound of the names of the city, etc etc So...I will be eagerly watching for your hubs on the subjects you've mentioned.
Take care and travel safely...D (the other gypsy! (
)
Klara - Sleep well and I and Linda wish you the most wonderful and safe trip !!! Have a ball and we will miss you so. I am Gemini !!! There are two of me imagine that
But really have fun Klara and stop in here if you can and say Hi.
We Love you Klara!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark
Just finished writing a hub about a symbolic tree.![]()
How is everyone?
0hello schoolgirl, beth, cara, denise, klara, mark, PDH, sophs
morning all...
Good Morning Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the weather now that it has cooled off a bit.
Marks, so sorry to hear about the boat. ![]()
Beth! How horrible! What a bunch of deceitful jerks!
Bon Voyage Klara!
Mts, what's up?
Sofs, hello to you where ever you are!
Miss you already Mom!
0Hello everyone! The trip was way too long, but we're finally in Granada. I'm dying to hit the bed. I haven't slept in over 24 hours. I'll be around as soon as I can catch up on my sleep. :-) XOXO
Klara
I am so glad you made it safe and sound Klara ![]()
![]()
Now get to bed and rest up for all the fun time you are going to have. Stay in touch and we miss you already
xoxoxoxoxo
Thank you, Mark. I did get to sleep four hours just now. I'll save up the rest for tonight, hopefully it will help me get used to the time change. I'm eight hours ahead of you on the east coast right now.
Mark, this place is so gorgeous! I'll share pictures with you via email. I don't have Beth, Denise, Cags, or mts email. If you shoot me an email via HP, I'll include you on the photo sharing. This is my fourth time coming to Granada, Spain, and it always surprises me with its natural beauty and the warmth of its people.
XOXO
Klara
Hey Klara, I sent you a message through your contact link on profile. You now have my email. ![]()
Klara-I'll do the same. Enjoy!!! Wish I were there with you...(or anywhere but work right now,
)
Hello all-I'll be in touch more on Saturday after my loonnnnngggggg shits oops, I mean shifts. (was that allowed?)
0Great! Cags, I got yours, but I haven't received an email from you, Denise. :-) I'll keep you posted. We'll talk tomorrow.
Klara
@ klara --
so glad you had a safe flight over.
I will send you my email.
enjoy yourself!
@ cags --
xox
@ mark -- xox
@ cara -- the right opportunity will present itself.
@ denise -- nights still?
miss ya!!
@ mtsi -- Moose sounds great to me!! we have enough to make a few vats worth.
wanna come and help??
(oh, but no tasting!!) ![]()
Hello Beth
Is everything Okay with you. I thought I read that something went wrong with the move. Is that so my dear?
Our girl Klara is having toms of fun in Spain.
Well Mark is beat cause I worked all day again and need to get shower and hit the bed so I will see you tomorrow OK?
Hope is well Beth and miss talking with you too ![]()
Mark!!! xox I am missing you terribly!!! ![]()
How is your boat shaping up? Don't worry. I am sure that she will be sea worthy very quickly. She's under tender loving care. ![]()
Yes, we had water in the basement which has delayed our transition into the new place. I'm half in and half out of the new place -- kinda stuck in a temporary spot.
We're living with two days' of clothing and out of our knapsacks.
At least we have our toothbrushes and toothpaste. ![]()
0Yes, Klara is having fun even in spite of the jet lag.. or "yollaa" as they call it here in Spain. Lol I'm so happy to see the family after four years! We're going out tonight - tapas and wine. It will be like a second bachelorette party. I'm not the oldest one in the group so I better last longer than I normally do. Ugh! I can't compete with these Spanish girls. They party too hard!
Beth, I'm still waiting for your email.
Xoxo
Klara
Lol, must be a European thing because they do that in every European country I've been to!
Have a great time and take lots of pics for us.
Morning Cara and Good afternoon or evening to you Klara. Don't over drink Dear LOL. Have a wonderful time with the girls.
Hope all is well with you Cara and your family. I am still watching for the marina to find me a boat engine. Time the find that the summer will be over ![]()
![]()
Have a great day Cara and you too Klara
xoxoxoxo
Hi everyone! I almost had a heat stroke today. (Is that what it's called?) Temperature was over 100 and there was a protest against the president who was visiting downtown causing a traffic detour. The bus never came and we had to walk for at least 40 minutes under the sun. My hands swelled to the point I couldn't close them but I was feeling fine, with a large bottle of water, stayind hydrated, except my face became very red and we had to stop at a pharmacy to test my blood pressure. It was normal and I was told I was having an allergic reaction. Ah! Allergies!! They won't leave me alone.
Mark, what's going on with the boat?
Man Klara.. You had a heck of a day today. I am so glad you are Okay and safe and sound. You need to be very careful in that sun and heat..well I know you know that for living in Florida ![]()
Glad you had your water on hand. As far as the boat I saw one of the mechanics today on the Island when Lin and I went over and he said they haven't found o motor yet but they are out there. I know that much but I would like to have the boat back in the water before fall
He said no worries my friend
have a great day and I will be at work early and work to 4 pm.
Be safe and always bring your water ![]()
Hugs
OMG! Be careful Klara! Hope it all cleared up and you're back to normal. Don't want you to miss out on that great vacation.
I'm okay, Cara. Thanks. I think it was more of an allergic reaction than the heat. There is a lot of dust here due to the North African winds and lack of rain. And as you know, I take weekly allergy shots, plus nasal sprays, and daily rinse (which they don't have here and I left back at home). I sound like an old lady, don't I?
I'm still on Miami time. I just woke up, which is 8:23 back home and it's 2:23 here. The paella is ready, momma-in-law is yelling at me for choosing to eat breakfast over her lunch. But I can't eat lunch at 8:23AM. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick. :-)
I hope everyone has a nice day. It's weekend!!!
XOXO
Klara
I know.
slap my hands for being so slow.... but I have a good reason. Not a happy one, but a legitimate one. I'm at the airport flying out west to see my mom and dad. My mom had an accident and I am going to work with the doctors to settle what needs to be done.
It's bad enough with the move, and now flying out in a rush. The plane has a mechanical problem and has been delayed two hours now.
Oh, they just announced that there will be another two hour delay. -.- BUT, we get a new plane instead of the busted one.
ha ha ha always a silver lining!! ![]()
What's this about you swelling up?!? You must keep hydrated!! Whether it's allergies or not, drinking at least 5 litres of water every day will help keep the allergies at bay (no nettie pot required... just a close bathroom) and keep you more than hydrated. My goodness, if your hands are swelling up and you are drinking water, then that means your body isn't handling the toxins at all. Only water will help with this. You'll feel much better too. ![]()
Enjoy your vacation!!! I will send you the email when I land. Ugh.... wait... I"ll send it now. ![]()
hugs, hugs, hugs!!
Beth, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Let us know how she's doing. I've posted the pictures on FB so that I can share them with my HP buddies. I've included you too. The only ones that I can't find on FB are Cara and Denise, but I guess I can send them an email.
I hope everything is okay. Do keep us posted. I'll pray for her quick recovery.
The swelling went down. I'm okay and drinking tons of water. Thank you!
xoxo
Klara
Sounds awesome klara, (I don't know you but I'm trying to join in around here), I'm hoping to set aside money to do something fun like that eventually, or even if it's to go to a theme park ![]()
Good moring all
0Beth sorry to hear about your mom...sending you positive vibes from pa...cheers
Klara sorry to hear about your alergy but am glad the swelling is down...OPA!
Hi denisa...cara...mark...pdh...schoolgirl...sophs
Have a great day...
Ht mts-back from the Jersey shore, I take it??? Did you read the posting I left you awhile back about a personalized man cave sign? I thought of you when I saw it! ![]()
Hi Schoolgirlforreal-nice to see you here. You've been gone for awhile(?) I think...
Klara-sorry to hear about your allergy reaction. Listen: the SUN can cause that reaction-it is like a sun poisoning-too much, skin turns red but is different from sunburn. My son in law had it in FL recently and Cara might have experienced it when we sunbathed too long on the Italian riviera one spring.
Drink lots of AGUA--NOT booze,
BTW I did send you an email already via Hubpages.
Beth-----OMG, the house, the job, the water, the in between living, the accident with your mom, and NOW THE PLANE??? Stay safe and practice your 'relaxation breathing' from the belly. May peace be with you and your family on this next life event.
Marky-missing our talks. Hope all is well with your new baby and she is getting the care she needs. Say hello to Linda for me.
Hi Cagsil--
how are you? Busy ??
Cara--
helllllloooooo from NC Miss talking to you, but enjoy your time away. Hopefully it will be a fun trip and not a 'working' away from home base trip.
Sofs???? Thoughts are with you wherever you may be. ![]()
Gotta run and get ready for work. One more shift, yahoo...then off for 4 I think.
Oh--here is a good one I'd like to share about the crazy things I do: I went to work on Thursday, reluctantly, as usual, and left my uniforms behind at my home in town. I got to the city where I rent a room and realized all of my favorite uniforms were NOT packed.
meaning I had to make do with what was left in the city. Well...that isn't the worse of it.
I got to work earlier than usual and could not find my name listed on the unit I would be assigned to and a sense of horror swept over me...had I gotten my work days mixed up? Just as I was calling the office to inquire about it the assistant manager walked into the room and began to beam happily.
"Oh, Denise! This is great-we had a call out and we need someone to take his place! I'm so glad you showed up to work"
I would have kicked myself in the butt except my legs were too short to reach,
So, I stayed, (of course) and worked on my night off! Instead of two shifts I am doing 3 this w/e. At least I will be off on Sunday evening.
See you later, everyone.
Hey Denise and everyone else too.
![]()
I'm doing well and hopefully things are moving along well for you too. ![]()
Yep-one more 12 hour shift and I will be off for a few days.
Maybe I can get some writing done, finally.
What's the weather like in your 'neck of the woods'? We've had thunderstorms, cloudy skies and rain for the past 3 days, off and on. It is currently ready to storm again and I am hoping it blows out of the area by Sunday on my day off. ![]()
