Psst, Jackie, there's another guest up there...

Think we can lure them down with cupcakes?

[KCJackie]

Hey Shell!

Please post your house pics in Musings. I'd like to see them. And, sweetie, if we can turn Musings into Pets-R-Us, with the mods participating, we can certainly share your happiness with your new digs. And we can support your surviving a horrific event. I say Hmph! to whomever suggested otherwise.

   

Brachiate~  Shell can post her house pics here in musings or in her thread "Building My House" http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4450.40  or both.  The neat thing about posting into a dedicated thread, whether it's for her house pics or even posting about pets in "Our Four Legged Friends" or posting recipes in our Recipe area is, it's easy to find them again in the future.  Another example is Monken's cakes.  We can go back there and find them anytime.  I usually make a note in musings when Monken makes a cake to go look in her thread area.  Some monkeys may miss things posted in musings, because of the mix of things in here.  That's why I like to make a birthday thread too.  Then all the birthday wishes are in one area, where the birthday girl or birthday boy can see them, instead of them being spread out over threads for a couple of days.  It isn't just to keep off topic out, especially since there really isn't an OT in musings.   Sometimes a monkey will notice another monkeys  birthday even a month later because they weren't here, and will leave a note.  Anyway, musings is great, but so are the various threads.  I was looking back at the four legged friends thread and it's great to see the animals and the posters from way back when.  The pics that were posted on musings are somewhere in all the musings threads...  Same with great recipes.  I hope they not only get posted in musings for us to see, but I hope they get posted in the recipe area, so when we need a good crock pot recipe we can find it.

Whoa.  It's almost too early for such a long post.  More coffee or less?   

[Blue Moon]

CBB...do you know anything about the rock slide on I-40...?  I think it is somewhere before Asheville.
One report said that one of the rocks was the size of a house.  I have driven that area a few times during the summer.  There were work crews and some were putting up "netting"...guess it didn't hold...lol.

Hi Mere.  We were on our way from Pigeon Forge to Blowing Rock, NC by way of I-40 and had to detour around and go up I-81 because of the rock slide.  It closed both lanes on I-40.  Boy was traffic bad by re-routing I-40.  The slide hit a semi and I saw a couple of SUV's.  Don't know if anyone was hurt though.  It looked bad.

Gee Thanks Jackie
But they sure have some cool cookies. I will have to show gs after school today. Will go from there. Did your gs like the cup cakes? Much easier than the witches fingers I am sure.

Good Morning Monkeys

[Magnolia]

As you can see by the smirk on his face he is a little bit bad 

Oh, San,
He is so adorable, I want to hug him.

He is smiling for the camera.   Only the really smart ones know to do that.

I have to giggle just looking at him, because I know he is into everything.

I am so happy that you have puppies.

Thanks Magnolia.

Here is the female.

She looks very ladylike and much more subdued, though I am sure that is hardly the case.
That bad boy just steals my heart though and I like his blue coloring.

Hudson is nearly two now and he has calmed down a good bit.
During his first year he broke 5 lamps and chewed the cord off several more.
chewed the footboard of an antique bed and I don't know what all else.
But he is a marvelous companion and knows everything.
At 85 lbs he still thinks he is a lap dog.  I wouldn't trade him for anything.

I love both of your babies.

Here are our witches fingers after three tries we got them to look like fingers and not flat feet.

Here are their pumpkins. 

[MuffyBee]

    Thanks for sharing, GE The witches fingers look pretty witchy to me, and those are some good sized pumpkins!  They look great!   

[Green Eyes]

Thanks Muffy 

I don't know about gs but I am glad that we got them right this time

[MuffyBee]

About the size...at first glance I thought they were in front of a china hutch or something, and I realize after your comment and looking closer, they aren't really big, but they are still really, really neat!!

  You guys did a great job on the fingers and pumpkins. 

 
Those fingers could be real - they look so creepy.

[Green Eyes]

Thanks Jackie 

I think their favorite cookies were the sugar cookies that they could decorate with frosting. 

How you doing today?

[KCJackie]

I miss Flossy, has anyone seen her swinging udders lately?

[KCJackie]

Thanks Jackie

I'm doing good, how about yourself?  I'm trying to get motivated to go to the store, gs is coming over tonight and wants tacos.

You will get there, because thats what the gs wants. How easily they have us wrapped around their little fingers.
I am all right oldest gs is home again sick. Mom is taking him to doctor today. Am not so happy with the school about now. If it was me I would have been at school this morning reaming me some new ones for the Principle, nurse and teacher.  But have to let mom handle it. Which is very hard to do for me.

  I'm sorry you are having issues with the school. 

I know it is very hard not to jump in and help.
