NYC reunion thoughts

I had to watch it twice before I was ready to comment about it. In the second viewing you see things you missed, like venomous looks indicating when someone is caught in a lie and also obnoxious shoes. Those green CL's Jill had on were clunky and blinded me. She has huge boats and should knock off with the platforms. Also the masking tape stuck to the red soles kind of hid the whole point of a CL. Bethanney's hot pink ones were smaller but, not much more attractive. Kelly had on big fug flesh colored gladiators..just what I expected from her since she's best friends with Gweneth Paltrow..cough.
*
The main event was the Jill/Bethenny fight resolution..and there wasn't one. Poor Andy was out of his depth there. We all were in a way. I did find out the show is less scripted than I thought. Not that I think there's a script exactly, but, I figured Bravo set up the situations and maybe some of the drama. Now, I'm more inclined to think the women themselves do that and Bravo just follows them around.
*
Bethenny has this quality I admire..even when she's really pissed off, she has the ability to spit out the facts and the reasons. Jill did some horrible things that can't be forgiven and I'm not talking about being mean to Bethenny over her absence during Bobby's illness. Jill has revealed herself to be a truly mean girl and Bethenny seems done with her. Jill practically begged on her knees this time and cried and I felt bad for her. I think part of her really is sorry for the things she did. But, part of her is just ruined by the fame and she will do those things again. It's clear the public has turned against Jill and that's mostly why she's sorry. She hates bad press. She hates bad press a lot more than what she did to Bethenny. Some people just wipe you out with their game playing and emotional turmoil. They just exhaust you. Jill is one of those people. I don't think she will ever get what she wants. Bethenny sees her pain, but, sees past it to the icky parts which are still there. Jill is a viper in disguise of a nice Long Island girl. Her mask has slipped and you can't undo that.
*
Here's my take on them now..

Bethenny..clearly the brightest, this chick is smart with a capitol S. Has a tendency to over talk everything due to years of therapy. Had a rough childhood, rarely whines about it, but, relates it to who she is. Not the richest housewife, but, most successful of all the housewives in her own right. Best sense of humor, killer one liners. Quick and snappy, least likely to be fake.

Alex.. a social climber with ridiculous society dreams, but her (and Simon's) social climbing is funny rather than irritating. They don't hurt anyone and are decent people. Alex is loyal and has finally found her balls this season. She is no longer a doormat. She is also very pretty sometimes, and I love that she called Jill out on calling her ugly. She's not.

Jill, attractive and spoiled, rich and excessive. The one who fell into the fame hole and can't get out. She will step on anyone to remain in the press. Tendency to lie, talk behind backs, set up situations to make someone look bad because she's mad at them. She's dangerous and wears a mask of friendly. She's not as smart as she thinks she is.

Kelly..might be functionally mentally retarded. Used to be hot, now is the most unattractive of the bunch, doesn't realize she isn't all that anymore. Uses hoplessly out of date phrases that are embarassing. Is mentally unstable and uninteresting. They should take her off this show before she hurts herself. We've already seen a real mental breakdown from her. She pretends to be nice, but, she's full of misplaced venom and needs mental help. She is not entertaining.

CountLess LuAnn..good looking, but, manish. Two faced, gossipy slutty rich assed manner wench. She's better than everyone else. She's too self absorbed to cause much damage...she's no one's friend though. She should keep her day job, which is spending huge wads of rich old man money, instead of her ridiculous new synthesised singing career.

Ramona..Ramonacoaster..crazy eyes, too much money, but, she is generous. The party girl of the group, genuinely fun, loves to drink her wine..by the gallon. I think she's drunk most of the time. Says inappropriate insulting things a lot...always apologises. Genuinely pretty, claims to design jewelry. Interesting that her old man has a family jewelry business. That helps, eh? Claims to be a business woman..I've seen no evidence. Best phrase this season.."Turtle time!"

Sonja..the new girl with the old money. Seems loyal and stays neutral, yet remains interesting. Loves sex, willing to talk about it at the drop of a hat. Has a psychic on duty as well as a maid. Real money here, but, she seems to have fun with it and isn't obnoxious about it. She's attractive and has started to stand up for herself against the vipers. She should just get more interesting next season.

Jennifer the party planner should be mentioned..she was a new introduction, but, unlike Sonja she did not ingratiate herself into our hearts and has been dumped. Too bad Jennifer..for you..I thought you were a totally boring two faced bitch and I hated the fact that you seemed stupid. Yes, everyone has an asshole and I stopped using that phrase in 1976. We already have an idiot here and she's called Kelly.

It's all your fault that I watch this crap but now I'm hooked. Thanks for the clarification on the scripting, I've often wondered. I also would like to know how the casting process goes.

Anonymous said...

LOL Escrow .. it's good trashy television, nothing wrong with that!

I kind of felt bad for Andy, I felt like he was a little kid at the dinner table watching his parents go at it. Can you imagine sitting there for 6 hours while they rehash all of this and film it? Oooy vey!

Can't wait to watch Monday's - even the hubs is watching w/ me because he's just so baffled.

Dirty Disher said...

I think a lot of the casting is done by the women themselves..who they know and who they drag in. I'm late for work..GDammmit.

valle said...

agree 1000% with you. Love Bethenny. She's the real deal. Have a nice day at work!

Alison said...

Jeez, could they possibly be wearing any more fur in this picture? Wearing fur is such a dated way to show you're wealthy.

Echo said...

wow, i didn't realize you were a bethenny fan. she's bugged me since i saw her on the apprentice years back. she is intelligent...but her intelligence is expressed so linearly. she is direct, but desperately clever and always on defense. things might be good for her now, but i'd hate to see how she really deals with life's challenges. actions speak louder than words. i'm glad things are working out for her now but i don't genuinely believe it will last forever. she is the type of person i don't think i could be friends with.

i didn't watch too many episodes this season so maybe i missed something.

jill used to be my fav. now i see her clinging to bethenny, which is sad, maybe because of all the fame she's missing out on.

either way, i wish them all the best, i just don't buy all the bethenny fame. she just had a baby, and she has a nurse to take care of her? what are her priorities.

Vicki said...

I am a Bethany fan as well. And I believe you nailed it with Jill.
She got upset when she realized all the bad press she has received
over Bethany--Bethany even said as much. I was not so much a fan of Alex/Simon the first Season, but I see a change in them.
Alex was laid off from Ralph Lauren or some fashion house last year and now works for herself--their priorities have changed, IMO. Yes, they would like to be among the "Social Elite" but seem less driven to get there. I think Bethany was torn the first Season about them, but really went with her gut feeling and grew close to Alex as a Friend.

Man--I have watch far too much of this, haven't I?

Anonymous said...

You call Jill attractve ???
Have you ever seen the interaction between Jill and her mother? there are mommy issues there Jill can never be or do enugh for her demanding mother

Maureen said...

You pretty much nailed all the women's flaws/strengths. What stood out most to me was how blatenly Jill tried to kiss Bethanney's ass. She totally made a fool of herself, as B. wasn't having any of it. She totally "shut her down," as Romona would say.
Kelly is the craziest person, ever, in the history of reality TV. Think about Rock of Love Bus, Celebrity Rehab, Real World, etc. I could go on and on, but you get the gist, there have been some real kooks, but she outshines them all!!! Along with being crazy, she is nasty, confrontational, delusional and egotistical. I believe Bravo will not sign her on for next season. She is too much of a risk.
IMO, RHWNYC is one of the best shows Bravo has, I will definately miss Thursday nights.

Heidi said...

I do not care what other people say about the show..i love the ny version. i look forward to the new season and hubs cannot get me to change the channel no matter what!

Did you all watch Bs new show? Did you notice that she had alex and ramona in her promos and alex in the show?
i bet Jill is pissed! Super pissed!

Jill does not have mommy issues..she has a Jewish mother. She has to please Mom and Mom knows how and when to lay on the guilt. My Mom was Italian and she was good at that also...hehehe

WTH is this sh**? You mean you guys didn't watch the umpteenth re-run of "Forrest Gump"? c'mon now! Thats a great movie. This stuff is a waste of my brain cells. I have never watched it one time, never will!!!! Don't know who is who. I am out of the loop on this one.

I've been thinking these thoughts for the past day or two, as well, but I don't watch any of the Housewives shows, so I didn't come here 'til now. I hope everything is okay with DD. Knowing some of the health issues and stress issues, I guess we all get concerned. I'll just wait here quietly with the rest of you.

Enrique thank you for your letter this morning.
I agree with your decision and thank you for
your support in the equivocal matters of late.
Indeed the subject has an inner detail about
the situation as you stated in your letter.

Those lil coke can owlets sound darling and
sweet please take a photo for me if u can ?!
I'd love to see them if possible. Please try ?

Speaking of photos I sent DD some pix of my trip
to HI and I hope she gets back soon to post
them. We went to a working coffee plantation on
the kona coast of the big island. The flowers and
fauna along with the vistas are breathtaking !
Managed to see all but one of the 8 isles that
make up the chain. The 7 we saw are all inhabited
the spectrum of sand went from white to black.
I think I sent you the pix of the desolate black sandy
beach in Maui ? Did I ? I hope so.

On another note we are getting all geared up
up here in Toronto for the g8 & g20 summits.
The security is tight and high alerts abound as
the worlds leaders conveine upon us. Yesterday
Italys premier/lothario himself silvio bartoloni arrived
early entourage et al. The world cup fever has
hit the city hard and soon we will be having our
30th pride parade in the downtown sector. So
much to see I'm glad ;) I'm home. - Kiki =D

I tried to take pictures this morning without disturbing them, and I was able to get about 10 feet from a little one that hovered over something and then clumsily fell on whatever was there, but it's too dark still. One of them assumed a defensive posture, and I don't want to disturb them while they practice, so I'll wait for a better opportunity.

As soon as daylight hits they are gone, but every day at around
4:30 am the owl family comes out to learn to fly and hunt. It's amazing to see the Mother Owl just watch and fly around stirring up critters for her little group of owlets. I'm hooked. It appears to be a Western-screech owl family by what I have found.

Maybe I'll have an update tomorrow. I'm going out to check in the woods and see if I can find their roost.

ha! I was right about the connection!

This morning the owls found a different spot. I could hear them and caught glimpses of the big owl moving from tree to tree, but they are so quiet while they fly, and she keeps close to her owlets, so I could not get close. It also got light early this morning.

My guess is that they'll be most active near the full moon, so I'll set up early when the time gets close.

Yay for Pat! I knew it was just the storms! We have had non-stop storms here in Indy for several days. Every chance we get, we have to mow! In between raindrops! & the moles are really bad again!

Jarhead, owls are so cool! I live in the woods and often we hear them hooting and screeching about...Barn owls are so cool looking. I think they are my favorite. One time my husband was walking our cat on the leash through the woods, and they heard a really loud and close hooting. He saw the owls checking out our cat and hooting at each other, and our cat saw them too and was checking them out all interested. But my husband knew the owls meant business so he picked up the cat and brought him in as fast as he could, lol!

Anonymous said...

Hi Meissa,

I am emotional about these owls!. When I realized the Mother Owl was teaching and guarding her little ones I was so impressed.

Then one morning a little one flew right next to me and stopped on a branch. Little did I know there's 3 or 4 little coke can sized owlets, and a Mother Owl with a 7 foot wingspan and white/brown feathers. The little ones are mostly white with brown on the wingtips. I think your husband did the right thing, the cat did not stand a chance.

They have to just a couple of months old. I watched one drop and hover and pounce yesterday, and it looked just like a baby learning to walk. I can't believe I'm birdwatching! what's next?, Oprah!.

Glad to hear about DD. Thanks Casey! I think the internet co. owes her money.
I think the whole country must be getting storms. It's going on down here and at least it cools things off.

Jarhead...we had a webcam site of a mom barn owl and a nest of babies (and dad bringing food when they were young). I haven't checked it lately. I think your way is best. More personal! And we have all seen Oprah---I'd rather see the owls! (Nothing against Oprah--but after awhile, all the shows seem to be alike.)

Miss Tia...are these cherries like bing cherries? I'm totally jealous! How old are these plants?We can't grow cherries down here. just the litlle ones that we make cherry bounce with.

Hi to everyone else! Mostly sitting back and waiting. I think I have an addiction to this site. I've got a "DD" on my back and I need a fix! I realize that didn't sound right, but I think everyone gets the idea.

I have a story to share, but I'm not ready to tell it. Still to mad. Maybe tonight!

No running for you for a while kiki!. I saw the weather map. Velvet's a treadmill dog for the fore-seable future.


Linda,

I first posted here when I read about John Graziano, the Marine that was hurt in Nick Hogan's car. We Marines are very close and I signed off as Jarhead because it's a common name for Marines, and I am sure we all felt as I did for him looking so helpless.

Bayou,

Look forward to hearing your story. I'll be out drinking tea and waiting for them in the morning. I brought a camera and lens. Don't know how much light there'll be available at the time though.
A lot of birds of prey fly around here, those little ones are not out of danger yet. I'm emotionally invested now, if something happened I'd be wanting to get some payback out whatever hurt my owls!. ha ha

Bayou Jane said...

My story is not a DD type story. Actually my story is a continuation of a horror story! Yeah! Lil Hitler is back. She figured she'd get one more wack at me. She gave me a bad evaluation for the year and then "FIRED" me. You got it! And it gets better. She fired me on a Friday afternoon on my "voicemail". This woman is all class. So I had to agonize all weekend before I could talk to someone.
I got all of my evaluations from past years together and everything else that I had copies of. Monday morning I went to school and went to her office---I was sweet as could be--and asked for a copy of my folder. I also asked for two parent conferences from last year in which I felt she had been inappropriate and surpisingly, or not, she couldn't find them. I told her if she found them to please forward them to the superintendent's office. And then, that's where I went---to talk to the head of HR. Her name is Tootie. (Who can get mad at someone named Tootie-right?)I've always gotten along well with her and I kept her informed all through Michael's illness. She knew Hitler was giving me a hard time about the number of days I missed.
(Something I didn't mention before---while I was gone Lil Hitler and the "teacher's monitor" were making my lesson plans for the sub. so they couldn't very well make a issue of the students lacking instruction. Hitler did mention that in one of our meetings and I was very quick to point out that I had only been back about three weeks at that time and if there was a problem, I didn't feel like it was mine.)
So, I very calmly explained everything I thought might be an issue and luckily Tootie remembered a lot of what I was talking about. She told me to take my evalution and go home and write in the margins everything I had told her and come back the next day to talk to Tibby. (Tibby is the superintendent--my husband grew up with him--but I wasn't depending on that to help because he can be a little shitass sometimes--he also likes power.)
Meanwhile, I started pulling in favors. I went to the sheriff (remember, it's a small town and the sheriff does have some power--the sheriff is also a friend and asked him to call Tibby and put in a good word) and I went to a schoolboard member. I explained what was happening. He told me he wanted a copy of everything I was going to give to Tibby.
The next day--bright and early (I don't do EARLY, but since I hadn't been sleeping, I was already up.) I went to see Tibby. He had a copy of my evaluation-just the last one. I had all of them. I started explaining everything I had an issue with and really didn't get too far into the paper work when he told me he would let me know by the end of the week. I figured one of two things---either Tootie had already filled him in or he was going with Hitler. But I didn't feel bad when I left. I knew I had covered everything I needed. I went to see my schoolboard member at his house and he told me that Tibby was on his way to his house so, I took off.
Early the next morning, Tootie told me to come in. Tibby told me that his policy was to give principals control of their schools. My heart sank and I took one of those breathes that catch in your throat when you hear bad news. And then he went on to tell me that I would get my job back but to appease Hitler, I would be watched nexted year to make sure I wouldn't miss too many days. I told Tibby that Michael could only die once so I didn't see a problem with that.
I may not be at my old school next year but it has nothing to do with all this. Three math teachers requested a transfer. Two from the clique went with her to a primary school. I will probably be traded but this happens all the time. I have no problem with this either. The staff isn't as close as we once were.

Bayou Jane said...

I HAD TO BREAK THE STORY INTO PARTS OR I COULDN'T SEND IT.

I was just going to say that this should be the end of the saga of the "Beast Called Lil Hitler". And it should be the last we see of her, but then I thought that before. Why do I feel that she will be back?

Christina said...

Bayou Jane---I am so sorry that Little Hitler returned. I did not see that one coming.
That was so smart of you to keep track of everything---every evaluation, etc. and have it handy. I can't believe that she fired you! What arrogance. It proves she has no heart at all. It's disgusting that she held you accountable for sick days when your husband was dying. That is about as low as she can go. Is she back to stay? I hope she isn't, but if she is, I hope you get transferred somewhere better. I'm glad you were able to pull in some favors and overturn the firing.

Kiki, thank you for the compliment! I took that photo a couple of months ago, it's part of a larger troupe photo that I took for promo purposes. The tripod was my best friend that day! This is the original context of the photo.

1 owlet showed himself and allowed me to get close enough to take a picture, but it's way too dark and you can't make out a shape in the frame. I'll bring a red light to shine tomorrow. I could hear the other ones, but did not see them at all. At least I got closer today.

You all are gonna laugh and laugh and laugh.

I am part of a community of hobbyists. I have been part of this group for almost five years. I am at almost an administrative level in this group.
So this morning I get an email from this woman. She is an associate producer for...wait for it...wait for it...TLC!
Bwahhahhahahaha
She wants me to help HER! She is looking for people that are insanely obsessed with their hobbies. To the point that they cannot go to sleep until things are perfect, they are jeopardizing their jobs and marriages. I do know a few people like that.

"Our goal for this show is to introduce our viewers to the countless unique addictions and life passions in our society, and to explore how these passions can both enhance and hinder people's lives. How do people feel while pursuing this passion? How does it impact their career? Their social life? Their sense of well-being? This is a documentary-style program, so we approach our participants with the utmost respect and empathy -- and we make sure that comes across in the finished program."
She wants me to "Narc" on my friends...for TLC!!
Bwahhhahahaha

She sent me her name and email addy. I have not decided what I am going to say to HER. I have already told my fellow admins about it. I am going to probably tell the group (1000s of members) as a whole about it. Let them decide.

Isnt that Hilarious?

Hey Rox, I have a 'Harry Johnson' story too. I used to work with a kid who insisted we call him Michael and not Mike. I never thought much about it until one day I teasing him and called him Mike and said his last name. The minute it crossed my lips I understood his embarrassment. His last name was "Hunt" - go ahead, say Mike's full name out loud.....

Now why would a parent do that to their kid?

nananananana...I just picked three honkin roma maters and am eating a BLT on homemade whole wheat honey bread. YUM......BURP :) I actually had ripe maters a few days ago and made salsa with them using the japalenos and cilantro from my little pot garden on the deck.

Four weeks ago on Sunday I went down to Kmart's garden center to pick up plants and supplies for my little garden and outside the door was a shopping cart loaded up with dead and dying plants that were going to be tossed including three huge roma plants in gallon containers loaded with green maters. The soil in them was bone dry and the plants themselves hadn't even started to wilt yet. I went in and asked the dude at the register if those plants were going to the dumpster. He said yes. I asked if I could have them. He said they aren't allowed to do that but hey, if they disappeared he knows nothing. Kmart was selling those plants for 14.97 apiece and I frikken gotem for nada. How cool is that? I repotted them into really really big pots and over the course of the next few days the lack of water caught up with them and parts of the plants started drying up and dying but I just pinched the dead parts off along with about half of the maters and by god they have just exploded. Anywho that's why I have ripe maters already.

escrow said...

And DD is right about those heirloom tomato plants. I got one called Mr. Stripey and it is going to take over the deck and it is loaded with maters already.

Anonymous said...

Our garden has exploded! Squash, cukes, string beans, peas, onions, potatoes, white pumpkins...that we didn't plant, but hey, they sure are cute!, watermelons that again we didn't plant...beets, carrots, and cantelops....and I'm loving it. Just started canning this year, and I'm loving that too. Hope everyone is well...and I wish you lived closer..I'd give you some squash that coming out of my ears.

Christina said...

I am so envious of all the gardens that are already producing. We don't even have anything planted yet, as my husband is weaning down from an antidepressant that makes him very dizzy, and our tiller is a huge, rear-tine thing that is too difficult for me to control. If I had planted, nothing would be ripe yet, anyway. Everything rusts in Northwest Oregon (or so the saying goes) and it has been incredibly wet so far this year.
Today is my husband's and my 21st wedding anniversary. (The going has been rough, but we are still very much in love.)
Our son got his driver's license a little over a week ago, and he graduated from high school last Saturday. Huge life changes for him, as well as for my husband and I. No more driving him anywhere, no driving him to school again, ever. . . no more picking him up at work at midnight. . . he is independent. Usually that comes in degrees, but with our son, that came all at once. I was quietly panicking after graduation, when he decided to go to the mall (about 8 miles away off the interstate). He just got in his car, and drove away. . . by himself. I actually filmed it. I'm happy, but sad. I miss my little boy, but he is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing. Growing up.

Bayou Jane said...

Kiki...I just read my email. It's really a sad situation when you get so involved with a blog that you don't even check your email.

Kiki, I think you are extremely talented-----BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE CHICK. With that beak, it could be a mean little chick. Maybe Christina would be a better judge. Did Jarhead send you a pic? Maybe its Jarhead's fault. Maybe it's because he got up at 4:00 to take the pic. (I was still awake from yesterday at 4:00.) I'm a night owl and no one has ever gotten up at 4:00 AM to take my pic---and that's a good thing!

Just curious---Jarhead, do you always get up early? And how far away are these owls? How did you happen to find them?

We have some strange nicknames around here. Our land assessor's name is Catdick and, like I explained to Jarhead once before, I have a friend named Jughead--so if I ever make that mistake again, please forgive me.

I thought about calling Jarhead Enrique instead but that name makes me envision hot, shirtless, Latin men and at my age that could be deadly. So he will remain Jarhead (and then I envision hot, shirtless, Marines)! Oy vey!

It's also hard for me to think of Crabbie as Mel. Crabbie fits him better!

My garden is shot to shit. Too much rain! And the weeds are really growing faster than I can pull.

I've got to go grocery shopping--there really is nothing in the house. Just wanted to let everyone know how much I love this blog. It's better than therapy and free. I love finding things out about other people's daily lives. So, everyone out there, keep on keeping on! It makes for good reading!!!!

No jarhead / Enrique did not send me any pix.
He is in big trouble ! I had to draw it from my
imagination of what a lil owlet would look like.
It took me almost a whole entire minute to
pencil him onto the paper.

I prefer the real name Enrique over jarhead
it reminds me of the movie with Jake gyllenhall
playing the jarhead. I'm not a fan of jakes.

Mel is good for crabtree cuz crabbie sounds too
sweet for him. Besides Mel reminds me of Vic tayback

LOL @ Jarhead, thankfully my hubs doesn't golf.

The only reason my Doc ordered the ultra sound today was because of Samantha's size, he's thinks that if this baby is over 8lbs I should have a cesarean. Which I don't agree with because I naturally delivered all 9-9 of Sam, so I think I can handle another.

Yesterday I counted 9 pigeons, 4 stellar's jays, 2 little squirrels (we call them chickories), 1 chipmunk, and various sized little birdies, all gathered around the feeder, some down on the firepit munching on the fallen seeds, and some hanging from the feeder itself. I could just stare at that sight all day!

Did you ever find out what a cherry bounce was? I'm just curious...

miss tia said...

aren't the little toads adorable??

yes, i did actually, while looking for recipes i found one for a cherry bounce in a very old joy of cooking....it's a drink!

Casper said...

Cherries soaked in bourbon? Is that the recipe you found too? Kind of sounds like our cherry bombs - soaked in 151 Rum. Tastes good with just about anything. :D

Unknown said...

Well, just got back from the titty show. My friend did an outstanding performance, as always! You guys would have enjoyed the theme. It was "Southern HOTspitality". My friend played a lady of the night coming home early on sunday morning after a productive worknight in this cute little red sparkly tube booty dress just in time to get ready for bible study. Chewing gum and money fanning even! I haven't laughed so hard in a while! She then changed into the super conservative southern belle dress, posing with hat, bible and all in the end! I wish I could share a video, but they are very strict in who photographs and videos the show. It was a hoot!

Bayou Jane said...

The cheeries we use to make cherry bounce are about the size of a sweet pea. You put some in a jar, add some sugar, and I think a little rum and you let it ferment. I'm really not sure of the recipe but I can find out if anyone really wants it. It's very sweet and very potent. It would be an after dinner liquer.
The birds eat the older cherries off the ground and get drunk. If you have a tree close by, they might even fly into your window. Usually it just knocks them out.

Bayou Jane said...

Meissa...in the South that would be OK as long as she tithed 10%!

Anonymous said...

That's right Bayou. 10% across the board, just like that awful Ray Stevens song says!.

yes. I always get up very early. Used to it I suppose, but if I wake up after the sun has come up I feel I missed the best part of the day.

I do range of motion exercises and Prasara Yoga or "Bodyflow" and other stuff after I have morning tea or coffee. I was outside performing for the crickets when the first owlet landed on a tree branch about 10 feet from me.

Soon after I caught a glimpse of the Mother flying low to the ground scaring mice on a wooded trail behind my office building. Now I see them more often, except today--
no owls sighted yet as of 5:02am.

CJ,

Thanks for the link. I will look them up on line and see the video of the owlets.

Lakers suck!!- I wish the Celtics had won last night!-I like Doc Rivers, not "Zen" Phil Jackson.

It was interesting watching the owlets go from egg to full grown. I started watching sometime in March when there was only two eggs in the box. There were six total, but only four eggs hatched. They all left the nest last week. Amazing little guys.

The eagle nest is at Duke Farms in NJ, two young females getting ready to spread their wings. DF backed the camera off yesterday b/c it was thought one was pushed out of the nest. Currently they are in the branching stage.

cherry bounce

stem and place in a crock:

6 pounds cherries

add:

5 pounds sugar (10 cups) --this measurement is for acid cherries. use less if the cherries are not acid.

cover the crock. stir the cherries twice a day until the sugar is dissolved (for about 3 days). cover the crock tightly. after 5 months add:

1 pint distilled water

strain the liquid. bottle it.

Jar,

Are you retired from the military? I was wondering how you had the luxury to stay home at such a young age? I'd love to know your secret, LOL.

BJ - you're right about the 10%.

I think I'm one of the few on here that does not like cherries.

Tia: Girl, I feel for you and know exactly how you feel. I msg'd you on FB. Take care. & Heidi, I am sorry about the stove. I had to get a new one last year. If you find them on sale they aren't too bad. I sooo needed one. Mine was about 16 years old! LOL! And feel better. You seem to have sore throats alot. I used to be like that too. You need your tonsils out girly! Take care.

CJ,

I'll be checking those links next. I wondered how many little ones they could hatch. I can identify 3 for sure, but there may be 1 more. The big owl flew within 10 feet of me when I got close. They fly so low and glide so majestically.

Palmetto Girl,

I was in the Marines for 12 years and then got hired to consult for people like the scumbag from British Petroleum. I will retire from work in the next few weeks though!- I may be young in years, but my heart weighs a ton. Now I just want to be home and spend time with family.

That sounds good MissTia!.

Hi Rox, how's the wedding planning?.

OMG Jar!!! You never forget anything! Lots of planning going on as the wedding is just 3 mos & 3 weeks from now!!! Yikes! Diet? Check! Ordering all kinds of wedding stuff from eBay? Check! Venue booked? Check! Gown ordered? Check? This is just a bit of what has happened. Last night they met with a mortgaga broker to get pre-approved for a home loan so they can get serious about house hunting. This is really happening. It's hard to believe. She's my baby! I am too busy to think about that tho. But y'day at our bosses suggestion I went on IndianaUnclaimed.com and searched for unclaimed money. You can search for anybody that you know, that way you can tell them. Guess who finally came up with a refund after trying nearly everybody I know? My daughters fiance'!! He has a refund coming from a utility company for a house he rented during his years at college. So, I msg'd him about it. Kind of exciting. Its not a million dollars but it was not insignificant! Everybody should try that for their own states!! Its fast & simple. Do it!!! You never know. They say to even search for dead realtives, so I did. Nothing came up. Maybe I scored some MIL points with that gesture? eh...w/e. But thanks for asking Jar! You are so sweet. Hope the Owl watch has been good. Its too hot here for anything to survive outside. 90's and hi humidity! Yuck! Everybody drink lots of water so you dont overheat! Love you all. Miss DD! Hope she's back soon. I keep checking for the NYC ho's to be gone and so far not happening. WTH? I would be so pissed if my cable/internet was out this long. Thats ridic! Unless it was a national disaster, this is really too long. Makes me worry actually.
xoxo

PS:I think Pat is just taking some time off. She will have stories when she gets back! I hope she went someplace relaxing & private!

Hey Rox,

I did that here in SC and found my bf's name. He was owed about $1200from an insurance company. At the time, I had searched my name and it wasn't there. Over a year later, I looked again, and my name was there. The address listed was an apt I stayed in while in college so I guess the check never got forwarded. It said that it was less than a $100, but hey, it's mine!

Good luck with the wedding planning. You need all the extra money you can get!! A friends daughter is getting married in Savannah in September and we have to go. I think she's going to bankrupt her poor mom!

Jarhead---I hear you about the Lakers! My son is an avid Celtics fan and we are in mourning today. The game (and series) could have gone either way, really. I think the difference was the player injury to the Celtics during the previous game. Lakers to blame for it, of course.
I am starting to worry about DD again. Actually, the worry never really went away. This is an awfully long time for internet to be down. I hope she's okay.

Christina said...

Sorry, that anon post was me.

Anonymous said...

Christina,

I also think DD has been gone a while and it concerns me a bit as well.

Rox,

I found money that way too!.

kiki,

No pictures. Too dark still. Mama Owl I think has had it with me disturbing class getting too close and blinding them with my flashlight. This morning they showed late and she flew really close to me. It was exciting, but I get the message.

Enrique

Unknown said...

Aww everyone has such great stories on here. I'm really going to miss all of you. This is if DD doesn't come back. I hope we all keep in touch.

Tia im going to go look at the little toadies.

Biz sorry to hear people are being rude. Pretty soon you will be losing all that weight fast. Specially running around little sammy and the babe.

Kiki your so entertaining and funny. Winston churchill good one.

Oh the names you guys had to deal with. Oh work in tourism and you will see alot of screwed up names. Specially the ones like Mike Hate and ive had 2 with dahmer and bundy as the last name to.


meissa I never new that about baby wipes. I wonder if the sensitive ones do it to?

Cya all later big hugs all around everyone take care and have a great week all.

Palmetto Girl! OMG! A wedding in Savannah? OMG! A perfect dream come true! It will be fabulous!! Everything they do there is fabulous! That place is kind of lost in a gentler time. I have wedding envy now!! LOL Our family is from Augusta, GA. for generations. Its just different down there. Everything! They are not in a hurry down there, thats for sure!! We also lived in Biloxi and Corpus Christi! Thats where my kids were both born! Beautiful city by the bay! I miss it.
Kiki- I will be 53 next month! My daughter is 24! Her fiance' is 28! I didnt think anybody named Kiki could have a child 24 years old! LOL!!
So, are we going to have to keep looking at the NYC ho's for years to come? Just so we can keep chatting with each other on new topics? Like Crabbie, pass the hat & get her back online, if thats what the deal-eo is! I'm in!! We miss our girl! Thanks to everyone that mentioned my daughters wedding. Never done this before and have a tight budget. But it's coming together so far very well. Lots to do!!
xoxo

Yes :( too bad about the Boston celtics last
night. I'm biased being Irish and I loathe LA
I'm a NYC lover & cambridge mass too. I
will be going to Beantown to visit my son
many times over I'm sure once the fall hits
and school starts up down there.

Enrique :)

Sounds like the mama owl is getting annoyed
at your observations. Be careful in future.

Avas mommy thanks,what is it all those silly
faces I create to try to portray my feelings lol ?

I'm a lil concerned as to if the Internet thing is
not the only factor to DDs absence. I hope
she comes back soon. This for me is the longest
she has been away off her blog. I'm fairly new
here still not quite yet a year until thanksgiving nov
I remember first reading here around the time of
my birthday last year. Glad i dropped by now
I can't seem to leave the site. Like Jane said
it's addictive. You are all such a great group and
I agree with Rox I love all of you too !
xoxo

Call off the oven dogs..My oldest over reacted. She turned on the stove (electric) wayyy up and it made the element glow bright. It freaked her out. I wanted to slap the shit out of her. Dont fucking do that!! Mom is on antihistamines and you give her a fright...LOL

I bought some cherries today..$1.99 lb. Yummy! I am going to sit on the front porch, read the paper, eat cherries, and spit the pits over the railing.

Casey J---If you are still checking in from time to time---how is Pat? We all miss her and are concerned about her health.

Miss Pat as well but have enjoyed
reading and keeping in touch with
all of you:)
Took a vaca day today. Had to have lab work done then the rest of today for lawn work, laundry, grocery store. All the above beats being at work, including waiting 1 1/2 hrs for the lab work. Why the heck does the person drawing your blood have to be the receptionist and paper clerk as well? Cheap, fucking big businesses--keep cutting people's jobs and pile MORE work on one person.--Tia that is your que....
