20434. poipual - 10/27/2006 1:28:45 AM If I could spell it, judith, I would commiserate with you. Evie and I can't have a dog 'cause you move all over the place and you know about bringing pets to hawaii. 20435. Jenerator - 10/27/2006 1:40:39 AM Judith,
That is very touching and very sad. 20436. judithathome - 10/27/2006 3:45:36 AM Yes, Al....I know about bringing pets to Hawaii. My sister is already jumping through hoops to bring her dog and cat back there in a few months. They both have medical problems and the requirements are rigid and costly, to say the least.
Thanks, Jen. 20437. arkymalarky - 10/27/2006 3:47:42 AM You know Bob and I love you and Keoni, Judith. Our hearts are with you both. 20438. judithathome - 10/27/2006 4:16:43 AM Thanks, Arky....
My son just called. He has had so many pets that have passed on over the years.
I once gave him this antique "smudge pot" that people used to put out on roads as a warning to drive with caution when it was dangerous on the road ahead...he told me that every time he's lost a pet, he's burned that smudge pot through the night as a signal to light the path for the pet...for the road ahead. He said he's burning it tonight for Klaus.
I not only had the perfect dog but I think I raised the perfect kid, too. 20439. arkymalarky - 10/27/2006 4:25:51 AM It certainly sounds like it. What a wonderful gesture. 20440. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 12:59:07 PM Mago, you did it again--sent us bad weather. A cold, hard rain is falling this morning. Lucky they double-bagged my New York Times! 20441. Jenerator - 10/27/2006 1:04:43 PM Could you please send the rain here! 20442. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 1:40:07 PM Mago is in charge of the rain. 20443. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 1:40:40 PM And I don't think you'd like the 38 degree temperatures that go with it. 20444. alistairconnor - 10/27/2006 3:35:48 PM Averaging 70 degree days here for the last couple of weeks. I'm saving on firewood. Farmers are still cutting hay. Unbelievable. 20445. wabbit - 10/27/2006 6:30:56 PM Jah, I'm very sorry to hear about Klaus. 20446. thoughtful - 10/27/2006 7:01:18 PM So sorry about your loss, JAH....my deepest sympathies. 20447. Wombat - 10/28/2006 4:31:51 AM JAH:
I am sitting with tears in my eyes about your dog. We had to put our dog (an extemely arthritic Brittany Spaniel) to sleep several years ago; it was one of the worst days in my life. 20448. Ulgine Barrows - 10/29/2006 9:21:03 AM I totally loved reading the poipual + jexster thing.
I am not alone.
20449. Ulgine Barrows - 10/29/2006 9:29:13 AM I totally loved reading the poipual + jexster thing.
I am not alone.
20450. Ulgine Barrows - 10/29/2006 9:29:33 AM I totally loved reading the poipual + jexster thing.
I am not alone.
20451. alistairConnor - 10/29/2006 9:44:59 AM You are not alone, Ulgine!
Eek, it's quarter to eleven (daylight saving ended last night) and I'm finishing breakfast. The girlfriend's three year old twin boys are stampeding around the house, and I need to find a steak-and-kidney pie recipe, that's why I'm on the internet now, because her parents and sister are coming for lunch. 20452. Ulgine Barrows - 10/29/2006 10:25:50 AM alistairConnor
ditch the steak-and-kidney pie recipe, go with what you have on hand.
I recommend eggs, they cook quickly. Add whatever is on hand. 20453. alistairConnor - 10/29/2006 12:05:25 PM Actually we got the direction of the daylight saving wrong (temporal dyslexia?) A friend dropped in and informed us it was a quarter to ten, not a quarter to twelve... so it's now eleven o'clock and we're just about on time. The meat is stewing slowly, the short crust pastry is chilling in the fridge, the pottimarron gratin is ready to go in the oven, and a leisurely aperitif in the sun on the terrace is ready to roll whenever the outlaws show up.
