LOL.....no aliens.....deer were the culprit. Deer ON the patio. We have had issues this year with both deer and raccoons wanting to eat our garden veggies, and my pots full of plants.

What I heard was apparantly a young fawn, jumping up on the table we have next to the BBQ grill, and it is OLD! It is one of the formica topped, chrome edged tables from the 60's. So it is slick, he got up there, then feet went everywhere, and the cupboard we have on there with spices etc in it, got knocked off, and make all kinds of racket!

For the last month, you had to be careful walking off the patio. As they graze the perimeter--where I have things planted....and with deer, what goes in, must come out, so I have deer droppings in a pattern right around the edge of the patio. We cleaned it up....and moved the pots in---they usually avoid the cement, and tile. Not so with young 'uns curiosity.

I love the deer, but they are annoying the hell outta me! They will not find a nice ripe Tomato and eat the entire thing----they find 5 nice ripe tomatoes and take a bit out of each! It is like they have double dipping issues or something, same with the apples, I have them on hind legs out there trying to eat out of the tree as opposed to munching the apples that have fallen from the tree.

Anyway---dealt with the mess on the patio, then I was outside....so spent time playing on the swings with my granddaughter---and next thing I knew DH was home and dinner was done, and time to go to the softball game.....which went into the loss column. But it was a close game, a good game, if our team had settled down and played the first innings as confidently as the last we would have been fine, so hopefully as the season goes on, we will be ok. Last one we got seriously whooped, and no amount of keeping our cool would have helped, there was no one over 25 on the team, and they simply outplayed us, in EVERY sense of the word. PLUS they KNEW it. They allowed us to beat ourselves in scoring, because they would seldom hit---they COULD hit, they just waited to see if they could get a walk out of it. Almost everyone of their hits come on a final strike pitch or a full count. I hate that---it is a game, just PLAY! What fun is going up to bat and standing there until you walk to first base? It is FUN to challenge yourself to connect with the ball and then beat it to base. And personally I have to SERIOUSLY hit if I am gonna make it to base!! But it is fun, and they just were snotty. Oh well, we only have to play them one more time!

Sorry I disappeared after the ominous noise comment!

Heart, sounds to me, like maybe you set your raw throat up for a primary growing ground for another germ. Early on in a band problem, there would be no fever. If it went on long enough for septicemia to be an issue....but in the first hours of a band slip or something there would be no reason for a fever. Sounds like a bug to me. See your Dr.!!!

I am home with my granddaughter again today. Does not hurt my feelings.

Gonna go play Barbies---wwooooo hooooo I know you are ALL Jealous!!!

And I am much too old!:biggrin:

Nah... you're just right. Like me. I remember him too. Heck, I even remember what he LOOKS like. lol

*slim* · September 18, 2009

Kat-glad to know you weren't abducted or otherwise harmed (other than the beat down you got in softball).

I have the same thing...and for a while I couldn't figure out why my few paltry tomatoes were all half-munched...now I know!

I loved playing Barbies.

What kind of internet weirdness is going on?? It is taking LBT forever to load, and sometimes all I get is the 'new' tag in the upper right corner and a blank screen.

Is my employer screwing with my computer? Or have my cooties inflitrated and infected it?

I am getting the same thing Tap. It looks very strange with the flap from the tag dangling (almost like it is breathing) in the corner. Do you think the slow loading is really just to allow us time to notice to the tag? :biggrin:

The only thing it is doing is giving me time to get really irritated!!

OK - I've been advised I am presenting at a conference in a few weeks. Not a problem other than it would have been nice to know and plan in advance as it is about 1000 miles away. So, I am hurridly making travel plans and will likely be out of communication for a few weeks as I now will tack on some vacation. So, it is PJTP flurry for a few days, then I will be be off line....back in early October.

Now, off to do the slide deck.............

Construction crew? Men like Mike Holmes - all muscle-y and cute???
Hello! I concur about needing pics!

The worst is the mirrors with black or gold 'marble-ing'..

aYou are so right. Yuk!

Great weight loss achievement! Don't start worrying about other procedures now. Just focus on living the bandster life- which of course is very easy for me to say and next to impossible to do recently!

Concur again, unfortunately.

Have I become the Typhoid Mary of PJTP???

How ARE the eyes doing today?

When the automatic taps and hand dryers work, it's wonderful!

We don't have auto taps yet but we do have auto paper towel dispensers and auto soap dispensers.

Do you suppose I can get some sleep now???

I hope so! I love sleep!!!

Um shouldn't they have told you in enough time to get a good airline deal? Duh! Will you be coming to Atlanta?!?

tapshoes · September 19, 2009

Thank heavens...I thought everyone had disappeared.

Nope, not Atlanta...pity. Going somewhere colder than here - and it is dropping to low 50's tonight.

Eyes are fine - little tired, from staring at the computer screen all day, but otherwise fine. Doubling the does and the frequency of the antibiotic did the job lickety-split.

Guess everyone else is having a fun filled social Friday night.

Wow, that is short notice for such a far away trip. We will miss you. I will especially miss our early morning chats.

What?? No posting for 5 hours?? Where did everybody go?

I had to go to a birthday dinner for my mom. She chose a Chinese buffet. I really wasted money by going there. DS made up for it. He ate like a grown man! I have only been home for about 30 minutes. I went straight from work to the mall in order to find the gift my mom asked for. I had just enough time to come home and change out of my work clothes and head back out. It was a really long evening. We spent almost 3 hours at this restaurant. I am sure they wanted us to leave. I am sure I have mentioned that everyone in my family is overweight. I am sure they wanted to charge us double for the amount of food that was consumed by the people at our table. There were about 20 or so of us there. They put away pounds of food. Then one of my aunts made a devils food cake. She brought this out at the end. I couldn't believe how many of them ate cake!!! Then it hit me, this time last year, I would have eaten it too. Well, actualy, this time last year I was on my pre-op diet and refused to go to the restaurant. My mom understood (sort of), but no one else knew what was going on. They thought I was just being mean to my mom.
