The Good Banter Thread

News was just wacked out today, Montana had a "zombie alert" today on the emergency broadcast system this afternoon, someone hacked into network was the official report on CNN. People I just can't make this stuff up, it all the news for Real! No word of a lie, just weird news all day today! No wonder I hardly listen to the news anymore, can't get any stranger!

nice day out got lots done and took doggies for a walk .Had to leave my key board dry out also .What a mess ,getting clutzy lately

Sissy spilling her coffee on keyboard, Colleen is watching news and freaking out (LOL, that's why I leave the tv turned off 99% of the time!), Addy is going on a Carnival cruise, hopefully on a different ship than the one being towed into port ... Wow, we are one exciting bunch of people, aren't we? You know, I bet they offer you lots of extras, Addy, as there will likely be those that cancel at the last minute. Maybe you will get upgraded to a balcony suite or something ... if you don't already have that, I guess. I went on a Carnival cruise in January, first ever on Carnival, and it was just fine. Now, if those zombies start showing up, I'm outa here!
And, to add to all the news, that copy in CA had a shootout with the police! What next?!

The world is going nuts

Hey, Sissy, do you remember that windmill company that you found on the internet about a year ago? Did you save the link? I can't find it, and was searching, and finding either junk or very expensive ... shucks.

Lots of baby pladys to report and the new "safety net" I installed to the pump intake made of an old bath spongy that I never used, works good at stopping the babies from getting sucked into the filter. Thined out the hornwort as it was getting too big. Note to all you fish tank people... hornwort plants appear to grow way better in the new fish tank that has LED lighting, grows lush and green without the heat and smear algae from halogen lights! (Tank in pictures has fluorescent lights, and they grow crappy hornwort, got to find a sun glow bulb.....

Currently watching "storage wars" Texas, love the storage wars shows, want to get myself a "locker" full of junk too! Sissy, if you watched that show you might get hooked too, cause I know you like real old stuff!

Not sure I got a windmill from them and it came severly damaged and refused it and they just credited my card .Never ordered another one ,not there fault so not sure why they just did not send me another one

 

[sissy]

I will see if i can find the bill

 

[CountryEscape]

Oh, ok. I just remember that it was a good sized windmill for about half what other companies are asking. I found one that is American made and all aluminum, but an 8' is $260! That sucker would last forever for me, but that's a pretty high price. BUT, why would I buy a cheap one that will rush and bend and break if I can have one that will last? I sure need all the help I can get out here "on the prairie", so maybe I should go for it. But, I still think the company you ordered from was cheaper and really good quality, and we were shocked at the low prices. Thanks if you find the bill!

My sweetheart was treated to a very nice Valentines dinner tonight. We had such a nice evening and best of all I didn't do anything emrassing at the restaurant. I waited till we were walking to the car before I expelled a silent but lethal cloud of green gas! Just kidding about the gas. .

 

[j.w]

Awwwwww that's nice Lou about the dinner not the gas
I'm going up to Bellingham tomorrow w/ my farm friend up the road. We are taking a bunch of rabbits up to a restaurant up there that is buying them. We have to take a baby lamb w/ us in the car tho as the mom won't nurse it. We have to stop and bottle feed it every 2 hours on the way up there and back home again. Can't leave it alone or it will starve to death. Never been on a road trip w/ a lamb in the back seat before. Should be interesting to say the least!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Awe, that sounds cute JW , a baby lamb with fleeze as white as snow! We have to call you Mary tho, cause the lamb was sure to go! Ha ha ha

Hey CE, you can get all kinds of windmills for your pond, that accerlate and move water even in the winter! Looked on several sites, and Koenders has some nice stuff, did not see a price, must be expensive. They got all kinds of sights for pond windmills that look really cool, and with your open spaces you must get a fair amount of wind, so why not turn a windmill into something interesting? Just goggle windmill for ponds!

CE I doubt anybody will cancel because of the fire, if you do you lose your money without having the insurance, which we never buy.
We already have a balcony room, always get one if they are available (some ships don't have them) I love to sit on the balcony as the boat travels. We bought this one during their christmas sell, got a pretty decent price on it. It is two days at sea on the way down, one day at sea on the way back, takes a while to get from baltimore to the bahamas. Just checked we do stop at port canaveral, nassau and freeport. Three days at sea, three days in port.
So if you hear of a fire on carnival pride starting 2/25 think of us! lol

Have a great time Addy. That crippled Carnival ship is docking at the port of Mobile, Al. I'm from 32 miles away. Still have family in Mobile. So many, many years ago I enjoyed going down to the docks to see the big ships.
