Sweet Mike dreams to ya’ dear!
Laurel said
Sai13 – Happy to see you here! We’ve been wondering when you would pop in to check on us.
I feel I must warn you we’ve gone a little bit off the deep end.
On the bright side – we are managing to entertain ourselves quite well. 🙂
I hope you will be sticking around!
Good night everyone.
Madonna said
Ms. Gypsy,
I sent you something. Check your email.
Himmiefan said
Happy birthday Ms Gypsy!!!
Claire – my prayers for your friend.
Madonna – were you the one asking about your part? All depends on age. Over 30, definitely a member of the something or another Avengers. Sorry guys, it’s almost 2:00 am and my mind is frazzled. I’ll find the name tomorrow. Anyway, under 30, assistants who keep us in chocolate. You see, movie monster don’t attack anyone over 30. Now, if you want to risk it, you can take a bigger role in rescuing Henry, but you must wear MonsterBeGone monster repellant. Someone (Tango?) reported that it should be at Sams.
Sai13 – ’bout time your showed up! Poor Loves History has been the only guys hanging out with us ladies. Go to the previous thread and scroll around until you find out about the movie we’re making where we rescue Henry. It all started when I was making fun of the ultra-gross slasher films out these days. The second Hostel film is out, so I said our film would be Elder Hostel since movie monsters don’t attack anyone over 30.
I took pity on Loves History being the only guy and gave him the special role of driving the woman-mobile in our movie. Well, we branched out to several high-tech vehicles, and Loves History is now driving a BMW. Oh, and Vicki is driving with him. So, pick your role, pick your vehicle, and keep Vicki away from our Henry. He’s ours!
Now, anyone heard from Catcornmom? She’s now the only one we haven’t heard from in a while.
Gotta go to bed. Good night!
Himmiefan said
This is cute. I found this while poking around the net reading about the Spacey awards:
“But, I have to say that once again Kim was a disappointment. I actually thought I saw saliva hanging from the side of her mouth when she was presenting the award with Kyle the gentlemen from Blood Ties.”
Come on, give the girl a break! How else would she react around him? Probably better than I would!
Anyway, there’s a cute video of highlights from this year’s awards on the Spacey site.

Margaret said
Sai13: Long time no hear. Why don’t you stay awhile.
Madonna: Thanks for the explanation, I think. As Henry said in one of the episodes: “I feel so old”. Maybe that will stop the discussion of whether he’s gay or not or it just tells us he’s easily influenced. But he still is somewhat of a kid. The guy who talked him into should be smacked upside the head but then again, I doubt Kyle doesn’t do anything that he wants to.
Dizey: Thanks for the picture. Was going to use it as a background at work but guess thats out. lol.
Teresa said
Somebody please send me the picture!!! I’m feeling really left out here! teresab313@gmail.com
Sai – welcome back. We’ve been wondering where what happened to you.
Margaret said
Teresa: I’ve forwarded the infamous picture to you. Enjoy.
lwildstar said
Good Morning Blogkin!!
Happy Birthday Everyone!!!!!
woke up to a wonderful dream of taking Henry for a ride on the Harley – I was driving and he was using “the voice” and squeezing me playfully tight around the waist, trying to persuade me to let him drive – as I scooted between two cars on the yellow line and passed a truck on the wrong side I laughed “no, you drive too fast!” – and then the alarm went off darn it!!!!! GRRRRRR
Well I’ll be off at the craft show today and then I’m taking my friend out to dinner for her birthday…….I’m a month late, but thats the good thing about friends – as long as you remember them they don’t mind 🙂
I worked on another rosary bracelet last night before bed – I’m getting faster – will post pictures on the site tomorrow and give you a heads up when I do.
Theres no one left on the waiting list, so I’m guess ing everyone got what they wanted?
Welcome Cree! glad you could join us…we’re a strange little family, but very accepting, and from what I read of your posts last night – You’ll fit right in!
Talk to guys later, have a good day!!!!!!!
Anzia said
Howdy guys! I hope everyone had a great night with wonderful dreams. Mine went WAY left field last night. NO Henry or anything. Just the mob and… well it was like watching one of those slasher films that started our movie. *sigh* The joy that is my mind at times *gag*
Sai13- WELCOME BACK BOY! Wondered where you’d gone. ^_^
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. Gypsy! Don’t be too naughty with Mike tonight 😉
I’m off to babysit the terrible two (my sweet little kevin has turned into a DEMON CHILD! Very sad sad occurance *sniff*sniff*) I’ll try and pop in some time today but… well, i might not be sane by the time evening comes so keep your fingers crossed.
BYE GUYS!
Margaret said
Claire: I’m glad I wasn’t alone in my bawling fit. Reminds me of the first and last time I watched Old Yeller. I will and can’t ever watch that movie again. It just tore me up.
Danielle: Tell me what you thought about What Girls Learn. Did you cry or are Claire and I just wimps? lol.
Happy Birthday Ms. Gypsy-Hope you got my second card.
nina said
Hello Guys!!
Wow I missed a lot here.
First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS GYPSY!!! Lots of kisses and hugs 🙂
I really want a part in the movie..PLEASE…See I’m begging for it LOL
Anzia-I feel your pain! I’ll be here after you’re done babysitting 🙂
What picture are you guys talking about??Can someone mail it to me too, ninalucks@yahoo.com
Ok I’ve to go back to my boring project
Bye
Margaret said
Rifkind & Nina: Its winging its way to you as we speak. I think by the time we all get through with the picture it will have traveled around the world. lol.
Madonna said
Good Saturday morning everyone.
Happy Birthday Ms. Gypsy!!!
Again I have lots of work to do today, but I’ll stop by once or twice. I shouldn’t if I listen to my horoscope. It says that I am not to socialize until I take care of the pressing matters on my mind. If I listened to that it would be 5 years before you all heard from me again.
One of Kyle’s Lifetime movies, Cyber Seduction, is on the Lifetime Movie Network at 11:30pm Eastern Time tonight. I’ve also rented The Covenant and have to watch that. I’ll have a busy night.
Until a little later,
Take care
Tango said
Good morning all!
Happy Birthday Gypsy! Ecard headed your way.
Sai13 – thanks for the email and glad to see you found your way over. I know the link I sent you was probably about 3 pages ago. We are a chatty bunch. I hope you will be checking in with us more often. Whatcha been keeping yourself busy with this summer?
msgypsy said
Madonna, it didn’t get here. Would you be a darling and send it again? ms.gyspy@gmail.com
Okay, this is the weirdest (I think) BT related dream to date. And no characters from BT were in it! I dreamt about my ex-husband as I sometimes do, and he’s always up to no good and as always happens in such dreams I’m always along for the ride. And I *KNOW* better than to follow him into his crap. But anyway, in this one he was trying to swindle someone out of a house. And halfway through listening to the louse talking about his nefarious plot to my mother and me (my mother tends to show up in such dreams as someone I have to protect since she’s close to 90) I start to wish someone would please contact Det. Sgt. Mike Cellucci. (I’ve been reading the Smoke books and I always will remember how Tony told the Vancouver cops to contact Mike to find out that Tony is okay and Mike’s response included many cuss words…)
Well, it’s my birthday and I thought I had plans but they were with a friend who just arrived in town after a four year absence and I suspect she’s still asleep (and she may not have my phone number anymore!) so I should probably accept that there may be a need for alternate plans. I’ll be back later, although how much later I don’t know.
Do we folks in the surveillance vehicle (that would be Mike and me in the back seat. LOL!) get any super high tech new weaponry?
DIZEY1 said
Happy Birthday gypsy lady!! Is today actually your b’day?? My brother and Dani celebrate the same date, mine is on July 6th so we’re gonna do a big blowout celebrating Eric(bro), Mine , and the 4th on the 7th (Saturday) can’t wait. Are ya’ll gonna do something special?? Busy at work w/customers today just dropped in real quick in between cust. will try and catch up later.
SAI13 DUDE!!! we missed you!! Glad you weren’t scared off. You’re tough you can hang with some crazy chix huh???
LUV YA’LL
msgypsy said
SAI13!!!!! Great to see you!
When buying Monster-Be-Gone, beware of cheap imitations. I’ve seen Monster-Go-Away and Monster-Get-Lost but they’re both cheap imitations. LOL!
Margaret said
Ms. Gypsy: Did you get both cards I sent?
msgypsy said
Cards aren’t showing up. Is everyone using the right address? Be sure to misspell gypsy as gyspy!
I’m rewatching Norman. I wonder if Demon-Off Cream is available in the US? LOL!
msgypsy said
All right, I’m watching “Norman” again and now I have a question.
I know that all that exposition had to take place outdoors so Norman could hear it but why the hell didn’t Henry tell Vicki the important information either inside the car or in someone’s apartment … someplace where they’re relatively sure they’re in private? And not to be too nitpicky, but if that’s supposed to be a stone chalice, why when not!Vicki picks it up in Maurice’s store is it some kind of metal?
I obviously have to to stop watching these episodes over and over again.
Margaret said
Ms. Gyspy: I tried again. Let me know if you get it.
msgypsy said
Yup, got it this time! Thanks! (that one picture — you know which one — STILL manages to startle me every time it shows up!)
Yup, I’m one of the old ladies, now. Although even my doctor misjudged my age by (get this) TEN YEARS. And by ten years I mean ten years the good way. Had to look it up in the records because he was sure I was older! (This isn’t my regular doctor but I’m on Kaiser and they have all the records from everyone right there.)
I think that for my birthday Lifetime ought to run the BT marathon today. (They didn’t go for it, I notice…)
Now I still want that picture of Kyle and his dog.
Tango said
Msgypsy – I wondered about the whole privacy thing too. Bad move, very bad move. I know we are generally only working with 43 minutes per epi and the writers did it to move the story line along, but I found it hard to believe they would be that careless.
nina said
Anzia-I just send you an interview of Abhi. Guess what! He calls preity “Z”. Had to think about you 😀
DIZEY1 said
Tango 🙂 😉 I thought the same thing about Norman in the garbage, but at the time Vick and Henry didn’t know that the demon (Norman) was already here. They were still thinking that it had to be summoned. I know I’m giving them waaaay too much credit. I also have watched these damn ep’s way too many times, when I see Dr. Sagara, she I think knows that’s not REAL Henry, the way she checks him out , his stance the thumbs in the loops of his pants, she noticed something then. Oh and the poke on the nose, also when he’s leaving and says.”Thanks for the book” I think she kinda knew something was up. It’s by far one of my fav’s and the freakin’ funniest. i just love Kyle doing Norman, w/Sagara and she’s telling him hoe Vicki’s scared, yada yada yada and he runs his hand over his hair and chuckles. He’s just so damned adorable!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
Rifkind said
MsGypsy,
Yes there is that old Jedi mind trick, if we read a word and know what it IS and it has all the right letters in it, we don’t necessarily see that it is spelled wrong so we see
gyspy the same as gypsy..
You tricky Gal!
Felicitations on celebrating another solar rotation….
or for everyone else to understand :
Happy Birthday!
We might not like how old we are, but it beats the alternative.. Marilyn Monroe will never get older…
Think of it this way, we just got a free ride around the sun! Hee Hee!
😉
Funny to think of planet earth as a space ship.

I am rewatching the first episode…because I CAN@!!! I just keep getting a giggle over..”Clearly I need more beer.”
BTW–I added a few more items to the cafepress page. different shirts and I tried to add buttons but they didnt seem to center properly soo I will have to work on it.. I am also working on a shirt that says HENS on front and MINX on the back…(i will of course do a reverse of that for all you Minxes!!) LOL
well..I have a few more hours till I have to get ready to sing tonight…(Got to go and DIVA up!) which means watching the sniffing scene to get me fired up!!!!!!!!!!!
Margaret said
msgypsy: I tried emailing you the picture. Let me know if you get it.
DIZEY1 said
How rude of me before 😦 Welcome Doc’ Cree, most gracious welcome. Glad you got the pic, these chix here are too quick I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to get online till this am. You will be very happy here in our Little Henry Ward!! By the way I can pick your brain if you don’t mind. I had a dream that I had a black puppy that happend to be a Newfoundland it was very vivid and I think said pup is looking for me he even has a name already. Question being do I want a Newfoundland?? I don’t know anyone with one and can’t figure out why that dog, but I also though about getting a Dogue de Bourdeaux and of course would be named Hooch!! Tell me Doc’ should I research the Newf ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. We’re all drawn here for some odd reason. :0:0
Rifkind said
Dizey you bad girl!
Making your Avatara picture of Kyle and his umhmmm hand gesture!
Naughty!
Sai13 said
Wow, thanks for the great welcome. Its nice to be back in the BT groove, though I must say, you have outdone yourselves :o) hehe
Once again, i will be spending all day going over everything I have missed..it will take awhile I think…
Madonna said
Ms. Gypsy,
I did send it to the wrong address the first time. Let’s try this again…
DIZEY1 said
Rifkind 🙂 😉 Why whatever do you mean it’s just a man and his dawg!!
Sai13** I understand and it will clearly take you many moons to catch up.
BTW in the movie, I see LH’s got me dying a GORY death, my RESURRECTION better be a Totally Sweet one or I could be Awesomely Wicked, ya’ know 🙂 🙂
DIZEY1 said
Oh and thank you to whomever I think Ms. Madonna, translated the old “Shocker” thingy for ya’ll. Those bad, bad college kidz. Most people won’t have a clue what that means so Margaret you could make it your desktop wallpaper and no one would be the wiser. It’s just a picture, enjoy our boy!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 😉 😉
Anzia said
Okay, so the pop up pics are randomly working again… *shakes head* I will NEVER understand technology.
ms.gypsy- I think if you want hi-tech gear you have to ask for it.
Is anyone keeping track of what’s been requested???
DIZEY1 said
I have trouble as you can tell with my little smiley face guys. I need someone who knows all the punctuations to make me a list of which ones do what, cuz’ sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t.
OOHHH my 3rd “Beautiful Peeps” showed up today. Will watch tonight also “Z” cuz’ I fell asleep on Henry last night ( ON HIM…hee heee) w/work and all today. I went and Googled I’m a big Googler, and checked out my Newfoundland Newfie for short and they originate in catch this ….CANADA, all paths keep leading me to CANADA. Coinkidinky I think not. The other dawg I liked is from FRANCE..Madam Claire’s homeland. I’ve got to find this dog I think it’s time. I’ve been w/out one now for almost a year, and haven’t been w/out a dog for at least 20-25 yrs. give or take. I guess I’m having a longing 🙂 🙂 🙂 😉
Anzia said
Dizey- if Emmanuel shows up at your place send him my way! I’d vie for Henry but he seems to be bouncing between you, claire & Tango… poor boy must be exhausted! 😉 Emmanuel… yeah… ~_~
DIZEY1 said
Anzia**** what are you doing?? I’m bored, I guess I should go hang out with Claire’s kidz. Come on over and lets go swimming, play in the pool I’ve got a floating ice chest we can fill that bad boy up w/some cold Guinness’, Heineken, whatever your poison. Come play!!!
DIZEY1 said
That boys got stamina baby!! He’s not human, he’s a superman! I’ll most certainly send Emmanuel over to ya, although most of us here are all having a LONGING going on, so we may have to stand in line for Emmanuel too, damn. We need more hunky fine guys, Mike’s looking mighty fine about now. Hell soon Vicki’s gonna be on the menu!!
DIZEY1 said
Sai13*** Dude cool myspace site and love the Vamp Secret’s I love the “Don’t make me bite you” very cool and your page is awesome. You are a tech guy!! Nice to see the face that goes w/the name. I may have to shop a little at your store. ROCK ON DUDE!!
DIZEY1 said
Running to Sam’s be back later:):);)
Anzia said
Dizey!- Vicki? LMAO I think you’ll have to fight LH for her. You asked what I was going. I’m actually crocheting (yup, last night knitting and today crocheting…) and hiding from my cousins. I’m on the last strand of patience so… figured hiding would be good. ^_^ I actually don’t drink beer. I don’t like the taste. I get lots of crap about that from family and friends but *shrugs* unless it starts tasting better, I’m not going to change it ^_^ Although, I’m more than willing to try new stuff so… We’ll see. and i’d LOVE to come play! I love to swim!
Hope you have fun at Sam’s! I like buying books from there. They’re usually pretty cheap. And sometimes the movies are as well.
msgypsy said
Dizey, are you running to Sam’s for a six-pack of Monster-Be-Gone spray?
Hey, Vicki’s been looking good to me for a long time. Yeah, Mike is that extra-special kind of a guy but in terms of how long I’ve been awe-struck, Christina Cox wins hands-down. I used to see Dylan as kind of geeky (he’s bulked up some and looks my-tee-fine now, though) and this is the first time I’d even noticed Kyle (and I still feel like I ought to be checking his essays for spelling errors … it’s just me…) but Christina caught my eye in “Chronicles of Riddick” (Although I admit I was seeing it because Vin Diesel, while not at all appealing to me, is my evil sekrit vice) and when I saw her in BT and realized that was the same person I was awe-struck all over again.
But that doesn’t matter because I’M IN THE NONDESCRIPT GREY SURVEILLANCE VEHICLE WITH THE HUNKY COP!!! And I’m not sure what kinds of high tech gear we have but I’m sure a lot of it is long distance audio and video surveillance and there’s certainly a sophisticated alarm system set up near the car…
So far as I can tell, all birthday cards arrived safe and sound. Some of us folks are darned creative! Thank you all!
I’ll be spending this evening with a friend who left Portland three years ago with her then two and a half year old, who has since had another child and who is here to show the new child off to her parents. I’m so excited about this! She’s been complaining that she can’t see any tv shows because (a) she has two kids, and is homeschooling the older one and (b) they’re all on cable and she doesn’t get cable because with two kids she can’t afford it. I can’t WAIT to tell her that she can see BT on Lifetime using her mom’s high speed connection (it doesn’t work really well on dial-up, as I can attest…) And I’m taking my laptop along to see if it’ll work in the park after dinner. She’s wild about the books and has been really straining at the bit waiting for the DVDs to be released.
msgypsy said
Sai13, do you run the Vamp Secrets website (not the myspace page, but the retail one)? If so we may know some people in common. Some of them I wish I didn’t know and some of them I adore. I’m just sayin’…
But I do understand better why you like hangin’ with us vamp fan gurls.
Anzia said
Have fun ms Gypsy! ^_^
Cree said
Hello Everyone! Wow, I go to work for a day and it takes me close to an hour to catch up on everything I missed on here today. Thanks for the very warm welcome and acceptance from everyone into the Henry/BT ward of the Betty Ford Clinic. I already know that is definately where I belong!! Its nice to have a place where I can get the jokes of “longing” and “sniffing”. When I hear someone at work say those words, I can’t help but giggle and then everyone looks at me like I am crazy because they just don’t understand. I did get the opportunity to do my part to try and help promote BT today….I had a client come in and somehow we got to talking about movies and he brought up “UnderWorld”. I said, “oh, if you like vampires, you really need to check out this show called BT on Lifetime, it rocks”!! Bad news is, though you have to wait until freakin October to catch it (that is, if you don’t already have every single episode permanently saved on your DVR box like the rest of us do).
Madonna–thanks for looking up the info about the nasty hand gesture. All of my techs at my clinic are in their very young 20’s and I asked them today if they knew what it was and when I showed them the gesture, they all cried out in unison, “the shocker!!”. Wow, it really made me feel old, and I am only 28!
Margaret–I thought the same thing about Kyle as you did when I learned what the hand gesture was. I used to question whether or not he is gay (not that I really care one way or the other), but I think that probably puts any gay rumors to rest. I just can’t see a gay guy wanting to make that gesture. And who knows…maybe that other guy wasn’t the one who talked Kyle into doing it, maybe it was Kyle’s idea all along. Maybe our little Kyle isn’t so sweet and innocent after all!! Maybe he is a naughty, naughty boy….hmmm…that leads to a whole other set of fantasies I haven’t even thought to explore yet…….
Dizey–Newffies have their good points and their bad points, like any breed. The good points are that they have great personalities. I have never meet a mean one and I have been in this business for over 10 years (counting my time as a kennel tech and vet tech before vet school). They are a lot of fun and have lots of energy so they need a very large yard to run around in to expend all of that energy, otherwise prepare to have your house destroyed. On the negative side (at least I think it is a negative), they are HUGE dogs. On average, the ones I see are 150-180 pounds and due to that large size, be prepared to spend lots of money on him every time he gets sick because drugs in veterinary medicine are dosed by weight….the more your dog weighs, the more of that expensive medication his body will need. (For example, a 10 pound dog’s antibiotics will cost about $30, whereas those same antibiotics for a 180 pound dog will cost about $250 because he will need so much of it). Genetically, they are pretty sound dogs. Hip dysplasia and arthritis are very common in any large breed. The most common thing I usually see with Newffies is skin problems. Their hair is long and unless you brush it every single day, it will matt very easily which leads to skin infections which in turn leads to…..thats right…..lots of very expensive medications!! They are a lot of upkeep. I don’t know what part of the country you live in, but Newffies generally don’t do well in warmer climates. Other than that, they are great dogs. And great with kids too if that is an issue for you. Any other questions, feel free to ask….I’ll mail you the bill. LOL
DIZEY1 said
Hey ya’ll, how’s it hangin’?? 🙂 😉
Little Gypsy B’day girl, turning a child eh?? Oh and at Sam’s I got the 55 gal.drum of “Monster ———– . Ya know I have not seen Chron. of Riddick yet, I think it’s in my Netflix Que , CLEARLY I need to move it up. I like the Vin man, he’s cool. I’m gonna go watch a little pretty peeps and will catch up later.
**Z** girl, crocheting, knitting……..you need to get up and have some fun dance around to some kick ass music, it’s Saturday evening, at 22 my butt was NEVER home. But I do live in New Orleans, enough said?? :):):) I’ll be back…….ha ha ha!!!
Margaret said
Cree: You’re right, never thought of it being the other way around. Kyle seems the type to be somewhat mischievous, since Tanya told us that he broke the bed the first week by cannonballing into it. But don’t feel bad about not knowing the context, had Madonna not been good enough to look it up I wouldn’t have either. Like I said, I feel soooo old.
I’m hoping all this adulation doesn’t swell his head but he seems to have it screwed on somewhat. Said he avoids the net although his mom tells him whats going on.
DIZEY1 said
Cree:) 🙂 Thanx maybe not such a good choice then , I’m way down here in New Orleans, I’d say pretty darn warm, and very humid. I had 2 Pom’s before one had bad skin problems. Wierd dream. Oh well. I’ll just go to our local SPCA plenty of animals need homes since Katrina.
I love the shocker story, and most certainly I think Mr.Schmid possibly instigated such gesture. He could do it and not lose his job. Other dude might not be so indispensable (SP). You blend in just fine because I also have DVR in my room w/all ep’s and one in the den w/9 of the 12 copied. And I still say………**:) IS IT OCTOBER YET:)**
BE BACK IN A BIT:) 🙂 😉
Tango said
Dizey – I love the Newfies too, just love big dogs. But when you are in the heartof Dixie like we are, they would suffer in such heat as Dr. Cree says. I saw a show about them on the Animal Planet. Have you thought about the Great Pyranese? They are large, family friendly dogs who would love your pool. We’ve had friends who have had them and love the breed. We were thinking of getting one and have somehow ended up with rescue dogs instead. If I ever buy a dog, I would look at getting something like the Labradoodle b/c it is an active dog, cut, and best of all, I heard they don’t shed – hypoalergenic. Is this true Cree?
Hey Diz – got my disc for Beautiful People – 2. I’m hoping Kyle makes more appearances on this disc.
lwildstar said
good evening bokkin – I’m toast after spending the day in the heat – so I’m just stoping in to say hello and good night.
I think my website is down – again – while I was able to view the page I just can’t make any changes to it – Danm AOL – I think its time to switch over the verizon set up, I’ve just been so lazy – so it may be next weekend before you see anything new from me…I’ll take a crack at it tomorrow and see.
This is a real pity because I wanted to show you the present my friend gave me – she worked the craftshow with me.
I was presented with a “mascot” of sorts he is a small metalic purple pompom bat named: Henry Michael Victor Fangs (the Victor is for Viki) – I was going to post his picture on my website but since AOL his having issues I can”t… 😦 and I’ am just to tired to deal with it tonight….she actually gave me two of them, but I haven’t named the second one yet.
Only got to watch part of the Pacifier last night – OMG I couldn’t stop laughing at Kyles “gangsta” routine threatening Vin Desil and then the “hate the game not the plya” routine…….he was such a cute kid!
ok night my dears~
Teresa said
I got my other two Smoke books yesterday, yay! So, since it’s nasty and rainy here in Houston, it’s a perfect time to curl up with a good book.
Well, from the looks of it, Sai can probably school us on other hand gestures, phrases and such, should the need arise. Maybe he can be a source for our movie outfits and accessories/weapons 😉
Madonna said
Guys, don’t feel old. I’m only 28 and I had to look up “the shocker”. I think that all depends on what circles you travel in.
I must admit I was a little shocked myself when I found out what it was and what mischief “our Kyle” was up to. But you know he is young and boys will be boys.
Dizey,
He may not be indispensible but I would bet he got a stern talking to from TPTB.
Cree,
Welcome again! We have a lot of fun around here. The more the merrier.
I know you probably hate this and I promise not to make a habit of it, but can I ask a question? I have a 20 mo. old Shi Tzu/Pekingese who has a serious problem with his appetite. He’ll go 2 sometimes 3 days at a time without wanting food of any kind and has been this way since he was a puppy. He has had to go on antibiotics 4 times already this year. His vet suspects that he may have an immune system problem and has given him shots to boost it, but he kind of beats around the bush with us. Could there be a bigger problem? This dog is my baby and this is one of my major concerns. Sorry to ask you to bring your work home with ya.

Oops…. Sorry I meant dispensible.

Tango–it is partially true. The poodle part of the breed is hypoallergenic, but the lab part is not. If you are not highly allergic, that breed is fine. As a rule of thumb, the hypoallergenic breeds (the breeds that do not shed) are going to be your curly haired breeds such as poodles, bichons, etc.
What part does Kyle play in Beautiful People? I loved that show when it was on the air and never missed an episode, but I don’t remember him in it. Probably because I had no idea who he was back then………
Teresa said
As for the aforementioned hand gesture, I am familiar with it personally (TMI?), although I had no idea it had a name or that people actually flashed it as a hand gesture to others. Had I seen the picture before the explanation, I would have thought Kyle and the other guy were just being mischevious and the gesture was some inside joke. Well, well, well…
Cree said
Madonna–what kind of antibiotics was he on and for what exactly? Did he have an infection, or was he just placed on antibiotics just as a precautionary measure? First of all, do you switch his food often? That is the most common problem I see with dogs that won’t eat. Their owners change their food all the time because they think the dog gets tired of it, so the dog learns to hold out for something better, such as canned food or people food. If you don’t change the food often or overload him with treats (as this would make him too full to eat his food), I would start with bloodwork if that hasn’t been done already. There are tons of things that can cause a dog to have a lack of appetite and lots of them will show up on bloodwork. Congenital liver shunts can present like that and there would be indicators of it on a full blood panel. If that comes back normal, I would next look at xrays with a possible barium series just to rule out any anatomical abnormalities. Immune problems are extremely rare, especially in mixed breeds. If he truely has an immune problem, he would be sick all the time, always having skin infections, upper respiratory infections, bladder infections, etc. because his body would be unable to fight off any kind of bacteria or viruses.

not sure who r DOLTICE is unless its actor Roy Dupuis (who portrayed Michael) from La Femme Nikita..
but you want me to play Henry’s dad’s wife?? which one? in other words, have my head handed to me? nah-nah.
(shrieks a loud scream so loud you can hear it all the way into NYC from the Jersey side!! LOL!)
thanks – I appreciate the honorable thought in contributing to a significant role, but I’d rather like to keep my head, too! 😉
think I’ll just stick to the sidelines and observe from the courtyard instead. :p
———-
I think I gots enough of a handful with SG-1 and watching Daniel getting scolded from viewers who don’t understand him for yelling at Vala – to which I believe was totally IN character for him (especially after everything SHE put him thru!) oh my..!
AlisaSG said
msgypsy,
hoping your birthday is an enjoyable one with a super wonderful year ahead, as well.
and if you didn’t already know, you also share your birthday with Zen Gesner
(he was born on June 23, 1970)
(oooOoO!) I just googled his name to see if I spelled his name correctly and a bunch of photos came up from his
“Adventures of Sinbad” days. *sigh* another cutie pie with shoulder length, long hair that makes him look hunkier than with a shorter hair style. 😉
———-
anywho..
try not to burn the cake with all those candles, tho (just teasing! I’m right behind you along with Claire’s age) hmmm, if my parents were still alive, they’d probably put some of those re-lightable candles on the cake – just to frustrate my efforts, and make me think I’m really getting too old to blow those candles all out..
(oooOOOoooooo – that was so mean of them!) 😀
Madonna said
Cree,
Thank you so much for your answer. The vet he sees is elderly and sometimes I think he is losing his touch.
He has been getting upper respiratory infections all year. His main symptoms are vomiting, couging and fatigue. His throat has tried to close up on him as well. The vet usually starts him w/amoxicillin and when that doesn’t work gives him Clindamycin Hydrocloride. He’ll get better for a month or so and then gets sick again. Right now he has him on something called Pred-IMG 2x a day (That is what is written on the baggie.)
When he does eat, he eats Cesar or cooked ground beef w/rice as that is what his vet recommended. For treats he gets those marrow treats or beef jerky.
Thank you again.

Hey Tango, thanks for the info , I had a Siberian Husky years ago a great dog his name was Taaka. All of our animals basically lived indoors. Right now my bro. Eric’s cat Monkey aka(Louise) big cat 20ish lbs. is the only pet we have now. But lately I’ve had that LONGING again, I think I’m gonna go check out the SPCA though. Since Katrina it’s been tough for all the animals there. There’s also an organization that rescues & finds homes, they do not destroy any animals. Sometimes the SPCA doesn’t have any options. I need to go save a dog & they’ll save me I guess. It’ll work for both of us.
Madonna 🙂 you are so right. I bet he got his little butt chewed up a bit. I’m telling you it literally could only have been online maybe a day. I saw it and copied it, next day kept looking @ work for it and it was gone. TPTB must have been pretty p/o’d. Had no clue at the time I hadn’t looked at it too much detail. Then the big todo. AAHHH…..young and stupid, BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Well not THAT exactly, but many, many things some no one will ever know. We all have some little secret, right?? 🙂 🙂 😉
Madonna said
Dizey,
Yes we all have some little secret. LOL!!!! I had heard about that picture over on Bloodlines site, but the only reason they gave for taking it off was that they did not have “clearance” to post that picture.
Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall when Kyle got called to the office?
DIZEY1 said
Hey I said earlier that I hadn’t seen Cron. of Riddick well it’s on the tube , got the DVR taping it and will go and watch in a few.
Tango & Cree , Kyle wasn’t in any of the 3rd disc of Pretty Peeps, what a bummer. But the show was good. I guess it’s back to “Zerophilia” to get a fix, and then onto……heck Norman aagaaaain. (heavy sigh 😦 )
DIZEY1 said
Madonna, Does that make me sadistic to say yes?? That and I can console him after the flogging. Lick his wounds as it were. Yep I need a fix.
AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGG………IS IT OCTOBER YET??????
NEED FOR CHOCOLATE CHAINS ABOUT NOW.
Will be back later
AlisaSG said
prayers for all seeking them.
Birthday wishes to everyone for at least the next few weeks.
and PS – about dogs, had a shelty (miniature lassie type with similar color patterns too). Similar to the border collie in temperament, they’re very spunky but also very patient around children, too. Ours died a week before his 10th birthday. He had a tumor growing on his back end, was going blind, and started experiencing kidney failure, etc; so my parents finally had him put to sleep.
———-
and I’ve got a personality question below.. not sure if everyone who isn’t a SG-1 viewer would understand, but most of you do seem to understand why and how different personalities seem to react, etc.. and most everyone here seems to understand how patient Henry is.. so this is sort of similar, but on a different level of having patience for tolerating moments that really should be dealt with when such moments actually occur..
———-
DebS,
>> Wow! ..I just got Season 2 of Stargate Atlantis in the mail today. I am going to have great evening!!
cool!! another *Stargate* viewer person 🙂
Just got thru last night’s hump from both SG’s finales, etc.
Question.. and I’m not sure if I’m explaining this clear enough–
why is it that people here connected to BLOOD TIES seem to understand the type of personality like Henry’s – who puts up with or tolerates a ton of heart-break from Vicki, yet people in the real world media don’t? You’d think that understanding personalities might be a prerequisite for being a Tv critic (which some of them are critics, but not romantics, and certainly – apparently, not the type of person who would understand Daniel being tolerant of most people and not blowing off steam at them, yet *finally* blew off his rage at Vala during a vulnerable program moment..?
I’d provide a link on where the discussion starts, but this blog doesn’t take too well to forum links of entire message pages that go on for seemingly endless pages..
I could understand how most people who don’t have Daniel’s personality might think of him as doing what he did out of character, but maybe there’s just more con-artists on the internet than claim to be of the so “sweet and innocent” type.. and con-artists just expect everyone to cater to their whims and wishes, but don’t understand when someone goes against that hype after putting up with it for endless months and months.
SG spoiler–
That’s what Daniel did with Vala last night, and I don’t blame him one bit. Vala had it coming a long time prior to that. I’m sort of glad TPTB wrote the final blow-up into the script, just to get it out of their system (even if they did erase the actual memory of that time in the episode).
I can see this coming with Vicki down the road, if it happens but under different circumstances with Henry – if he chooses to blow off some steam. I think Mike has already said something, and Coreen nailed it, when she got tired of Vicki putting up a (protective) con-front.
Madonna said
Dizey,
Sadistic? Not at all dear….not at all!
Madonna said
Cree,
Our animals have always been family to us. We had a male Pekingese. When he was 12 he had a kidney removed because of cancer. Over the next 6 mos. he had to have stomach surgery, he had a stroke and got cancer on his other kidney. We gave him injections of pain meds at home, but when it became unmanagable we put him down. My parents charged over $12,000 to their credit card in an effort to save him. (Money they didn’t have.) The vet eventually stopped charging them for services. That is why I feel a sense of loyalty to him. It almost broke all of us. Our female Pekingese lived to be almost 18. We literally could not handle the thought of going through all that again, but we saw our little Boo-Boo and fell in love immediately.

Hélas je suis parvenu à amuser les quadruplés en les laissant nager toute la journée, après que le dîner nous observent un film.

Happy birthday to you!
OK I’m off to dinner and to watch Bridge to Tarabithia with the quads!

Anyway….Hey Sai13 Dude where were you hiding? We missed you! I think I hear a sound of relief from NYC…EH…LH? not the only guy here anymore!
So I loved watching Bridge to Tarabithia with the kids…I’m big on never shutting down my kids imaginations…so many parents do.
This movie was all about how kids can invent new worlds because of their great imaginations…..sort of like us…LOL. 🙂
So Cree…I have a 6 mth old Jack Russell+Benji mix…is she going to be crazy forever….cause she didn’t take after her nice non barking dad! LOL!

Diz- Honey if I had the money to go anywhere I WOULD! Also, I don’t really have the freedom to do that. I mean, i’m basically on-call to babysit my cousins 24/7 while I stay at my aunt and uncle’s place. All of this can change after I find a job but not really until then. 😦 My only “play time” is when I’m on here or chattin away with Nina. ^_^
Claire- have fun! Just think of all this water time as practice for the movie. ^_^ I loved “Bridge to Tarabitha.” I saw it on the plane to Zurich and CRIED! My sister and I both did (and my step-mom too but she was on the otherside of the plane so I didn’t know this until later). Such a great movie! And I’m eternally grateful for my mother never putting a stop to my imagination. I’m sure I’d be expidentially more boring if not for it. :p 😀 :p

I have been checking up on all of you today but haven’t gotten a chance to sit down and post anything. My girls took me for another bike ride this morning and we went twice as far as yesterday. Jeeez, nothing makes me feel quite so old as trying to keep up with them. But, I suppose that is what keeps me young. 🙂
I noticed “Pacifier” was replaying tonight at the same time as “Cronicles of Riddick” so I spent some time flipping channels between the two. This is usually my husbands behavior so when he caught me doing it he got a big laugh!
Oh well. I have to fill the time until October.
Gypsy – I hope you are having a great start to your birthday extraveganza week!
What kind of cake/pie/dessert do you like to celebrate with?
I got Smoke and Ashes yesterday and am over half way through it. I keep seeing all of us in the references to “Mason’s fans” and have to laugh. I thought the first one was a slow start, but I am really hooked. Next time we have lunch you can give me your take on some of the relationships.
I suspect you all have gone off to bed so I will wish you all sweet dreams!
Madonna said
AlisaSG,
Your comment earlier reminded me of last summer when my parents tried to throw me a surprise birthday party. It’s a long story but it didn’t work. Anyway she called me on my way home from work and told me to pick up the candles for my cake. I was in a hurry and didn’t pay attention to what I bought. That’s right, I bought myself trick candles.

OMG!!!!!!!! you poor dear! that probably had to be one of the worst moment of your life, with the laughs ending up on you from everyone watching you try to frantically blow out those candles. And I’m guessing you were also probably kicking yourself all night from not paying attention to the label on the box / wrapping.
Otherwise, that’s also known as “Murphy’s Law” at work.
hoping your birthdays since then have been much better..
loves history said
alissa sg if you did nt notice you cast in our movie as hENRY VIII wife( NOT ONE WHO LOSES HER HEAD) played you know who of LFN a steamy love scene is included.
Margaret said
Danielle: You never told us how much you cried with What Girls Learn.
Cree: We always love to have fellow addictees. This is one of the few safe places you can voice your addiction without getting the obilagatory eye roll and are you crazy look when you want to discuss it. I’m light years older than Kyle but for some reason I don’t feel the least bit motherly toward him except when he does stupid things and then I want to ask him why he does it. I’m hoping he doesn’t laugh his self silly over the way we act although I would think he wouldn’t since we are ultimately his bread and butter. If they don’t bring this show back with additional episodes I will be pretty much crushed as I promised myself I would NEVER get sucked into another TV show again, after JAG and here I am. I think the thing that has made this show so special is that Tanya shared so much with us, the behind the scenes things, the fact that she is as much of a fan that we are, and the fact that the cast is a perfect fit together. The writing on the show is great. So again, welcome to our crazy belfry. We’re all crazy here and I’m certain none of us will last until October. lol
Margaret said
Ms. Gypsy: Hope you had a great birthday. You know that picture, I’m not even a minx but every time I see it -it takes my breath away. Almost makes me want to turn into a minx. Maybe we should familiarize Cree with our terms: Hens, Minxs, and Vices. The perv meter regarding Mayors and all. Any volunteers?
Margaret said
Ms. Gypsy: What would you think about posting your link over at the Lifetime Board, will they let you do that? (about tonight’s chat). Maybe go to Tanya’s Live Journal and invite her over if she’s around. If we can keep up the steam maybe we can do this until October as we know that most of us will NOT be watching Army Wives.

Claire, haven’t seen Tarabithia yet, although I do love Narnia, and this morning was flipping between Tristan (fine dude) and Ice age the meltdown, love Sid the Sloth, and Diego (love Dennis Leary). Well enjoy your swimming today as will I , use plenty of sunscreen 🙂 😉 🙂

Hi everybody! Hot, hot day here. I’ve been away on a real rescue mission, and I’ve got the moscuito bites to prove it! The bunny rescue group here in Middle Tennessee got a call about a domesticated bunny that had been dumped out in a ladies yard. So, we’ve been trying to catch that critter. He has been eating the food we’ve laid out. So, we go back about twilight to see if he’s come back the the little burrow he’s created.
Annalaise – I did have to smile. 🙂
I know I’m a bit late with this, but I do have to weigh in on the shocker issue. If Kyle were standing here and I were able to keep my hands off him, and that’s a big if, I would tell him that 1. the shocker is just plain gross and 2. it probably violates the production company’s anti-sexual harassment/hostile work environment policies. Now, he’d probably be so remorseful that I’d have to give him a big kiss. Okay, I’m stepping off my soapbox and back to scratching bites.
Gotta go. I promise, plot is coming!!

lwildstar – I got my rosary/bracelet this weekend. Thanks so much darlin’! 🙂
I got thru watching Beautiful People disc 2 last night. It must have been one that has been passed around the BT fans alot b/c it seemed to be a little worn out, kept going black on some of the scenes. I kept wondering if had been to any of you guys’ houses. Our Kyle is a sweetie in this show – playing Evan, boyfriend of the older sister. There’s only two more discs and I’m getting sad that I am running out of things to watch him in and it is only late June.
Hey LH, I’ve noticed you put Angie in the movie… Frankly I’m surprised she’d want to be in it. Does she even know? Also, for us civilians out here, what is an APC – vehichle that you are driving?

I thought we were chatting here? Is it here or at Henry’s Hens.
I’ve been busy so here goes: (1) Oprah’s website (www.oprah.com) makes you register and then allows you to leave a comment, no visable email. (2) Rachel Ray, send feedback to: rrfeedback@kingsworld.com, (3) Regis and Kelly, allows you to send them an email, not visable though. (4) Entertainment Tonight-go to the Be the Producer, sign in and leave a comment. (5) Ellen DeGeneres (http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/dear ellen) go to Dear Ellen and leave a comment. (6) David Letterman-Allows you to go to the feedback form and leave a comment. The ones I COULDN”T get to were: Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and Saturday Night Live as they are all on NBC i think it is and they have a snitty little message due to the enomous amount of mail they receive they can’t forward it to the talent people. MTV and VHI were not all that easy to navigate and I just gave up.
lwildstar said
Boy its quiet here today – wish it was slow at home too.
I did take a break to watch Heart of Ice & Heart of Fire. I
needed to decompress after spending an hour with the stupid website issue.
AOL is soo totally screwed up that now it won’t let me in at all – so if you have the link you can still go view what I had posted http://hometown.aol.com/lognwldstr/Moon.html – I just can’t post anything new. Then I went to my Verizon account to set up the website you can get there and my computer is having issues…you have to turn off all pop ups to use their software – so I did that and it keeps insisting I have pop up blocker on – good thing I only signed up for the free site ‘cuz if had bought one of the ones that have a monthly fee I would be on the phone yelling at some one. I guess I’m going to have to wait unitl my techy cousin can come for a visit and look over the computer….not that I was planning on keeping the website up after July anyway – it just ticks me off! I wanted to get a site built for my regular jewelry business – guess I’ll have to have my cousin check into that for me and see what I can use with this computer.
I do have new rosary bracelets – which obviously won’t be posted anywhere 😦 I know a couple of you were still interested – so just email me and I’ll email you back the pictures. I also have about a half dozen plain wood crosses left if anyone is interested – real cheap! AND I have three book marks with the moon at one end and the blood drop at the other… LognWldstr@aol.com
ok enough self promoting
The card to Tanya – only have about 6 entries for it…going to work on it next weekend and it should be ready to send out with the book mark after July 4th.
I’ll let you know when its finished so that if you want to see it I’ll email it to you – its not going to be anythong real fancy but I think Tanya will get a kick out of it.
Ms Gypsy – I’ll email you about the shipping – I asked a differnt lady at the post office to see if she had a different answer then the first I asked- she suggested the same thing – Global Priority (International).
We have a Plot line now? did I miss it? You know this is funny – I was looking through old drawings from my aspiring graphic artist days – I designed a motorcycle for Wildstar! I couldn’t believe it….I don’t normally do mehanical drawings, but it looked pretty cool.
I don’t think I’ll be able to make the Chat tonight – I have an early morning meeting related to training my rect/admin replacment and what duties I’ll have to keep until they find a permanent replacement….and I was so looking forward to this new chat. Oh well the job pays the bills so I guess I should be “bright eyed and bushy tailed” in the morning. 🙂
Well with the new position at work you won’t see me much except at lunch and in the evening…
Good night all – have fun in the chat tonight – sorry I won’t be joining you!!! 😦

Margaret,
>> I thought we were chatting here? Is it here or at Henry’s Hens.
I think the “chat” at Henry’s Hens is live (everyone is on-line together and gabbing all at once, while reading each other’s comments). It’s sort of more personal info that I’ve heard usually gets posted during those sessions.. and sometimes very off-topic, unless there’s an actual interview going on with a moderator.
Personally, I’ve never done live chats. Takes too long for me to read. I’d never be able to keep up, so I prefer the forum and blog methods of chatting instead.
*sigh*
I was under the impression the Henry’s Hens site was going to have a forum set-up (which is similar to this blog), but the blog went up here, until the forum became complete. By forum, I mean something similar in design to what the bloodlines web forums look like with separate topics and categories, etc. Anyway, that’s what I thought it was going to eventually end up, but I don’t really know.
happy to post here in the meantime – about daily events, life in general and of course – BT. 😀
(I prefer it here more than on the bloodlines “drippy blood” graphics forums).
my hubby is definitely NOT into that stuff, so its better to post here, than there.

Greetings from the Wet Coast. Rainy and muggy here today.
I’m sorry I will be missing tonight’s chat. I will be missing for the entire week. Due home afternoon on Friday, but you all will be gone home by the time I return.
Hold on to any more “wardrobe orders” until Friday if you can. I am trying to keep a list and know I will have plenty of posts to read when I return.
Elizabeth and Gypsy – I will let you know when I’m back, maybe we can schedule to meet the following week. 🙂 I may try to call each of you from camp but reception on cell is notoriously bad there. 😦
Have fun dears. I will be thinking of you this week!

At our clinic, any dog that is due for their yearly stuff, like all vaccines, bloodwork, etc. we require to drop off for the day to ensure that we are able to spend enough quality time with each one and make sure they get everything they need. Well, I came in this morning, and there is a dog in the back that I had never seen before and she looked EXACTLY like Cali! I mean EXACTLY!! I almost flipped out. I swear those dogs are twins lost at birth. If I hadn’t known better, I would have sworn it was her. She was the cutest, most fun dog ever! We let her out to run around and play when we weren’t busy and I totally fell in love with that dog. I just kept wondering the whole day if that is how Kyle’s dog acts. If so, he got one heck of a dog! I tried to explain to my techs why I was so excited over that dog, but of course, they just don’t understand…..but I knew you guys would!! I love it here on the blog! I have only been here a few days and I am already a serious addict….HELP!!
Claire–Jack Russell Terriers are the craziest dogs I have ever encountered. I have never met one that was calm, no matter how old it was, so sorry to say that you will have to just put up with all of the hyperness for the rest of her life! I am not surprised she chewed up your mattress. Those dogs are very destructive because that is usually how they help get out all of their energy.
Madonna–Pred is a steroid that is sometimes used to treat auto immune disorders among other things. I am assuming that is why he put him on that. I myself am not a big fan of steroids, as most younger vets are not because of all of the dangerous side effects of long term use. It is a drug that mostly only the older vets still use because thats what they were taught to do in school decades ago before anyone really did any studies on it. Has he done chest xrays on your dog? If he keeps getting upper respiratory infections and no other types of infections (skin, bladder, etc), then he may have something going on in his lungs such as a fungal disease that antibiotics won’t entirely clear up (and that pred will eventually only make worse) instead of having an actual immune problem.
Himmiefan–what part of middle TN do you live in? Just curious as I was born and raised there and all of my family still lives there.
Margaret said
Yes, Cree, you will find the oddest things become amusing to you now, like you can’t go into a Walmart or other store and see Pampers Swimmers without chuckling and thinking of Mike having to donate some swimmers.
You’ll find yourself renting or buying movies that you would never have dreamed of watching before because “he” or “she” is in it (Kyle, Dylan, or Christina). You’ll learn dirty gestures you never knew about before (who knew). You run out and buy all the Blood Books that Tanya has ever written and hoping upon hope that even though she said she would NEVER write any more blood books with Henry and Vicki in them, you hope that maybe we can change her mind. And you begin to think that October is too far off for no other reason than we won’t be able to see Blood Ties before then. Yes, welcome aboard the crazy Blood Ties Train, the more the merrier. Or is that misery loves company. lol.
Madonna said
Cree,
Thank you so much for all your information.
Blood Ties and this blog are addictive, but in the words of John Mellencamp, It Hurts So Good.
Himmiefan said
Hi Cree! I meant to mention this to you the other day. I’m orginally from Chattanooga, but I’ve been here in Nashville since ’99. I really like it here. I’ve lived in the Brentwood area for about four years.

loves history,
wow! sounds like you’re acting out some anger moments in those story ideas scenes described, with the exception of the last line..
>> dIZEY IS SENT TO INFORMHEN OF RESCUE SHE SPEND THE NIGHT WITH HENRY BUT CAUGHT AND DIES GORYLY THE 1ST ATTEMPT FAILS MIKE IS CAPTURED TANYA IS BEHEADED SHE MUST DIE TO ATONE FOR NOT WRITING ANY MORE BLOOD BOOKS VICKY ALMOST DIES BUT I SAVE HER WITH MONTH TO MONTH 2ND ATTEPT IA ASUCCESS ANZIA DIES HOWEVER HENRY FIGHTS UMA IN LONG SWORD FIGHT BUT CAN KILL HER J Depp comes in kills her with magic bullets hens share henry under 30s get j dEPP gypsy gets mike
>> in nondescript vechicle i drive off with vicky
..backing up to the middle of those details —
that’s pretty harsh – killing off Tanya for not writing any more “Blood” related books..??
AlisaSG said
and more ..loves history,
>> alissa sg if you did nt notice you cast in our movie as hENRY VIII wife( NOT ONE WHO LOSES HER HEAD) played you know who of LFN a steamy love scene is included.
———-
LOL!! steamy love scene, ehh..? but, that might make Claire jealous, since Roy/Michael is more our age (he’s a few years younger than us) and he looks a little like Henry at times, and is gifted like Henry too.. 😉
Altho, it might also make Rifkind jealous if I’ve got Roy as King Henry all to myself, too..
well, actually, tho I admire Roy, and adored his mysterious *Micheal*, he’s not really my type. However, back to that steamy part – as in the bathtub one b/t Michael and Nikita on LFN? kind of a small fit; and it could actually be one that was similar to King Henry VIII’s real one, but hmmmm. that’s a tough choice. Roy’s Michael does know how to sniff (actually snuggle up) and kiss..
(Ohhh, good Lord! I can’t believe this is even being discussed!)
somehow, I’ve always liked Saint-Germain’s 1st century jaccuzzi (oversized tub) version better. 😀 I’ve made a modified version of it for *my* Michael (MD, vamp) character. His complexion is closer to Henry’s but this Michael (MD, vamp) has got exquisite brown eyes and dark, curly hair. He carries his beloved Tasha into it for some relaxing water therapy sessions for her painful PMS cycle (that’s not for pre- but for present- cycle). Yeah, that’s a *bit* more on the steamy side.. perfect water temps, too!
can’t go into details on what else transpires in there. It’s left for the imagination to choose whichever direction it wants, but fades somewhere with those tender neck “kisses”.. :p
😀
sorry, couldn’t resist.. it left that moment wide open!
———-
BTW, according to wikipedia (or wickedpedia!), Jane Seymour was considered to be King Henry’s
‘sole “true” wife, being the only one who had given him the male heir he so desperately sought.’
talk of irony.. I’ve always adored actress “Jane Seymour” ever since I saw her in the
original Battlestar Galactica series (1970’s), and thought she was one of the world’s most beautiful women (during her BSG and James Bond years). Her hair is baby fine, just like mine and Kyle’s, too! 😉
Wonder if she’s related to Henry VIII’s Jane Seymour of long ago?
lwildstar said
I spent an hour writing – the problem I’m having is that my brain gets so far ahead of what I’m typing that my “train of thought” gets derailed. Oh well – for good or bad I’m just going to try and stick it out this time.
I know we have a lot of new bloggers joining us and I’d like to say WELCOME! to you all! and invite you to add your greetings to the Thank You card for Tanya. I’m going to work on it next weekend and it should be ready to send out with the book mark after July 4th.
I’ll let you know when its finished so that if you want to see it II can email it to you – its not going to be anything real fancy but I think Tanya will get a kick out of it. If you would like to send your greetings for the card send to:
NightWalker0001@aol.com
Wish I could join you at the chat…..Have fun tonight guys!
Madonna said
Alright guys,
It seems like the movie is shaping up nicely. Let me see if I can get this straight….
– Hens over 30 get to share Henry after they rescue him
– Assistants under 30 keep the rescue squad in chocolate and get to share Johnny Depp (I’m 28 so it looks like I’m relegated to that role.)
– Ms. Gypsy gets Mike
– Loves History gets Vicki
Here’s my request. Johnny Depp just doesn’t do it for me, so can we at least write in a nice hot love scene between Adrian Paul (The Highlander) and myself.
Himmiefan said
Okay, Loves History. I’ve got your ideas and I’m scanning to see what other suggestions are floating around the blog. I’ll compile everything and see where we are. This is going to be great!
loves history said
ok maddona you get to turn ap to trade sides and join the hens
Anzia said
Madonna- Adrian Paul! YES PLEASE! *DROOL* I loved the highlander series! SUCH A GOOD SHOW! It broke my heart that every woman he loved died. 😦
DIZEY1 said
Hey ya’ll just stopped in to see what ya doin’ 🙂
Played in the pool today and feelin a bit pooped.
Anzia, you’ve got to watch Tristan & Isolde a fabulous movie, right up my alley. I just love the era and yes Claire most certainly I’m a sucker for romance. When she finds him on the beach. OMG yeah baby he’s not so hard on the eyes either. YUMM!!! You’ll love it Z and you may shed a tear but it’s worth it. 🙂 🙂 😉
Anzia said
LMAO Oh, Dizey! *hands her her Henry Doll & Chocolate Chains* Go work off some of the “yumm” dear. ^_^
Claire said
Yeah Diz…with me it’s more about the era and the romance…I also loved…camelot…..first knight….and braveheart.
Cree….why did I know you were going to say that? LOL!!!
yeah little Josie is going to be the death of me…she’s so crazy.
She also likes to run away from home and play in traffic! We have to make sure we open doors real quick…or out she goes 90 miles an hour!
I swear she needs doggy prozac! LOL!!
Anywho heading over to hens..to see whats shakin.
Claire said
Ok nothin shakin at the hens…maybe I got the time wrong? wasn’t it at 10?
Well…I’m tired…nothing like hot sun and chlorine…to wear you out…well 7 year old crazy quads too lol!!!

Happy birthday Danielle!
Claire- I LOVE FIRST KNIGHT! OMG! GREAT MOVIE! Dragonheart is really good to. Not so much a romance but VERY good! (well, I think so anyways. ^_^)
Anzia said
TO everyone chatting in the second round, I would LOVE To stay up but i’m FINALLY tired enough that I might get to sleep (been battling insomnia lately- GRRR). ^_^ Have fun!
talk to ya’ll later!
Rifkind said
Madonna,
You might have to share Adrian! YUMMMMMMY!
DId you know that there is going to be another Highlander movie??
Adrian is the exec producer, and characters, Methos and Dawson will both be back as well.
In the TV series, I LOVED the flashback story about Methos.. the 4 horseman of the apocalypse as real barbarians. A great story!
LH, IOn the movie, don’t forget that I get to do the (SG-1) Sam Carter thingy and use some techie stuff to get the electronic locks to the doors to unlock to get to Henry…
Scotialynn said
I also loved First Knight…But I love Dragonheart move. I think its rooted in the fact that the first Sean Connery film I saw was Darby O’Gill and the Little People. Still watch that movie at least twice a year. (Halloween and St. Patrick’s of course… 🙂 )
Tango said
I might get killed off for saying this, but I’m not keen about the idea of killing off Tanya. She is our Charlie and will be needed for the sequels won’t she? Charlie never got into the action himself, and with all the Avengers why would Tanya need to?
LH I can understand your frustration with the books, but I can only imagine what she might think if she (or any of the Lifetime people) actually read that we were planning her gory death in a movie. Reminds me a little of the two California Menendez (?) brothers who wrote a movie script about killing their parents and then actually did it. I personally think we should steer clear of his.
I would be curious of the direction Himmiefan was considering taking the movie since it was her brainchild. Action/Adventure or slasher?
Tango said
correction – steer clear of this.
lwildstar said
good morning blogkin – sorry I couldn’t join you last night over at the “hen house” but I was just too wipped out and of course i had to get up early this morning.
I agree we should not kill Tanya off – I don’t think thats a good follow up to all the praise we have given her – not to mention the Thank you card we are sending…..
And I second the vote for Adrian Paul…oh yes there is going to have to be some sharing….you know he did a vampire show as well – I’ve seen the pilot, but can’t remember the name at the moment – he was a vampire police detective/leasion between the human and vamp communitie – yes they were an “open” society…..
I’ll check back at lunch –
Margaret said
Well, since we all are entitled to an opinion I vote NOT to kill Tanya off. We’d never be able to try to convince her to write more books if we sent her to the great beyond. Besides, she’s been so good to us, not a good reward. I vote NO.
Annalaise duChat said
Good Morning All!
Had fun in the chat room last. Anzia, Loves History you guays awake this morning? We were the die hards at the 10:00 session.
Loves the Highlander and First Knight. Recently rewatched a Knight’s Tale with Heath Ledger. That one was fun too.
fI was on a Heath Ledger kick recently and rented Brokeback Mountain. It was very sad. Well done.
DebS said
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS.GYPSY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIELLE!!!
Noticed Sai13 was around this weekend, so sad I missed him. I am going to try and catch up on all the posts later, just wanted to drop in and say hi!
DebS said
Oh man, must read some of the above comments…totally missed the chat room. I was in bed by 10:15pm. I am so lame…hehe.
Anzia said
I really don’t want to kill Tanya either. For basically the same reasons that have been mentioned and because killing her in an incredibly gorey fashion just because she stopped writing a series seems a bit harsh.
At the rate we’re going, we’re just going to need a truck of REALLY hot men to help service us in many capacities: Backrubs, foot massages, water, etc (where did ya’ll minds go? naughty people ;))
How did Johnny depp get into this anyways? (Just curious. DEFINITELY not complaining) I had a dream where he was a vampire (it was a while ago) and let me tell you, that man made one SEXY vampire! He was a bad boy too. Sent to kill me and all that jazz…
Annalaise duChat said
Anzia I like the way your mind works. Johnny Depp would make a great vamp.
Teresa said
Missed the chat last night *sob*. I got caught up in the ending of Smoke and Mirrors and by the time I reached the last page it was 10 central. And, of course, since my OCD was in high drive, I had to start with Smoke and Ashes right after that. About midnight, I was trying to talk myself into putting the book down and go to sleep since I have to get up at 5:00 am when I started to hear fire truck sirens getting mighty close to the apartment, and next thing I know they were at my building. I didn’t want to get caught in my skivies in case I had to evacuate, so I had to check things out. Turns out one of my next door neighbors somehow twisted and broke an ankle trying to get her cat out of the closet. She’s rather large, so there was all kinds of discussions and manuevers trying to figure out how to get her out without creating more damage, while her partner was freaking out because she couldn’t find the power of attorney paperwork. She’s a head case (and I say that in the nicest way, since I am one too), and I guess that’s what she needed to focus on so she didn’t fall apart. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep last night.
I streaked into work this morning a few minutes late with wet hair, which I have never done before, so I suspect I’m going to feel out of sorts the rest of the day. Just my luck, my boss had a meeting first thing with some outside people, so he noticed when I got here.
Let’s hope the rest of my day doesn’t go so well 😉
Teresa said
Annalaise – Didn’t JD play a vampire in some movie? I seem to remember something like that.
loves history said
depop as a vamp could work why did henry has just this big sword fight which he wins uma has to go she controls evil black magic and is opsessed with idea of making henry king she is so insane that she does not grasp that in the 21 cent that wont play henry cant do it he took a vow to protect her vicky is too busy to doit so i had to think who could just walk i do the dirty deed and we would still love him=JD as for tanya there will be no more blood books someone has todie to give crediability to our villains this amovie not tv OF COURSE WE WILL WAIT FOR HER TO FINISH

msgypsy said
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIELLE! (It’s the25th, right?) Hope you have a tremendous day today.
I had a great weekend. Saturday night I had dinner with my friend and her two kids and her niece. Kids ages ranged from 6 months to 5 years (and 10 months, she insists…) and after dinner we took the kids to the playground and tried to wear them out. (It didn’t work but we tried!) Then Sunday morning I left really early for a wet, dark, dreary day at the coast. You know you’re talking to dedicated northwet’eners when we give that description with a smile. We got down to the shoreline and thought the tide was going out. We were wrong. So we got wet. And then we went to look at the tidal pools and the wind picked up and it started to pour and we got wet. And then we decided to check out some of the big rocks and to get there we had to cross the rather wide little creeks the incoming tide creates and we got wet. It was GREAT! And we went to the Astoria Sunday Market where we didn’t get wet but we did get some really tasty pickled asparagus and some unbelievably good coffee, and to a lovely restaurant in Seaside where we exchanged birthday presents (we both had birthdays this weekend, you see.) And we ate cheesy looking birthday cupcakes and then came home late.
Now does everyone understand that going to the coast here means you pack additional clothes for a three hour tour? The vast wardrobes of the characters on Gilligan’s Island makes perfect sense to me…
I vote we don’t kill Tanya. She stopped writing the Blood books, but she kept Henry going (if somewhat put-upon) in the Smoke books and Vicki is always mentioned in those.
Since we’re adding cast, can we add Claudia Christian? That way, when Laurel manages to steal Mike from me, I’ll be able to console myself with the woman of my dreams. (I did mention, did I not, that I’m an equal opportunity luster?)
Gotta go get ready for work Have a great day, everyone!
Annalaise duChat said
Teresa – I Googled it but couldn’t find anything. He just plays a lot of weird characters. Maybe you’re thinking of Edward Scissorhands. If any body knows clue us in.
DebS said
I don’t think Johnny played a vamp, but I could be wrong. I do agree that he would make a great one though!

Hey what about Orlando Bloom? I could see him with fangs!

Hey, we’re veering off course here! We need to concentrate all our energies on BT and send all those positive vibes toward LT. This is the last week of June, OMG, and we need to keep that psychic energy flowing in that direction so we get a response from LT NOW!
Just saying… 😉
Danielle said
Hello! Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes. So far nothing extraordinary has happened. I invited Jason over for some cake tonight but I have not gotten an answer yet.
I was planning to go on at henryshens last night but I was gardening all day and I have been having trouble with my ankle. It burns and throbs all the time. I have been meaning to go to an orthopedic to have it checked out. I just haven’t gotten there. So anyway, it was hurting extra from the gardening so I took one of my mothers’s percocet’s and it knocked me out. Sorry!

Just thought you all would like to know that I will also be celebrating Canada Day on my birthday (July 1). Oh Canada, Oh Canada, thank you for these bounties that you have given us, hotties 1, 2, & 3 (Kyle, Dylan, & Christina). My apologies to any Canadians on the board. Just seems are the beautiful people come from Canada….
DebS said
What about Hugh Jackman? I just watched The Fountain last night…I would seriously watch that man read the phone book.
Margaret said
Whoops, should have been “all”
Danielle said
I could watch Viggo, Orlando, Johnny, Hugh, Apolo, Henry/Kyle, Bon Jovi, Gerard Butler, Ewan Mcgregor, Josh Groban, etc read the phone book. Any and all are welcome to add to my list.
Danielle said
Happy Belated Birthday Ms Gypsy.
I have not watched What Girls Learn yet. I was busy all weekend. If things stay fairly quiet tonight I will try and watch it. Chances are I won’t cry though. That is just me. I don’t tend to cry unless it is really real. There have been times though when I did, Titanic and My Life. I cried during those movies.
Danielle said
What happened as soon as I come on everyone disappears. Did I scare you all away? 😛
DIZEY1 said
Dani,
My Life is that the one w/Michael Keaton. I sobbed like a baby in that one
Titanic yeah when Jack finally had to go bye bye, very sad. It doesn’t take to much to tug at my heart strings. The first time I saw Heart of Ice I wanted to cry for Henry. Oh BTW this am on Encore “Anne of a thousand days” was on about, Anne Boelyn, too cool and she mentions to Henry DADDY about the Duke of RIchmond and his succession to the thrown etc. Good flick w/Richard Burton as Henry VIII. Cathryn of Aragon sadly the woman who played her may I say woof. Sorry, but not a pretty woman. 😦 🙂 😉
Oh if anyone is going to get the 3rd disc of “Pretty Peeps” no Kyle in there so if that’s all you’d be renting for, don’t bother.
DebS said
Oh Bon Jovi…did anyone see the MTV Unplugged with them. I have it tivoed, but haven’t had a chance to sit dow and watch it. I love them (him).
Danielle I am still here!
DebS said
I cry at movies/tv/books/commercials…it is a really sad state affairs. When it comes to real life it takes a lot to get me emotinal, but for some reason when it comes to watching or reading things I sob like a baby.
DIZEY1 said
ME TOO Dani 🙂 :P~
Margaret said
Halleluah-Finally got my copy of Z. Guess I know what I’ll be doing tonight when I get home.
DebS said
I got my copy of Z and then immediately loaned it out to a friend. I felt it was imperative taht she watch it…and now I am kind of missing it…haha.
Danielle said
Yes My Life is the one with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman. I didn’t cry at the part when Jack said bye bye. I started crying at the part when the water shattered the glass dome and the Irish mother in steerage was telling her kids the story of Winken Blinken and Nod I think it was. Then again when the men in the rowboat were going back to find any survivors and they were moving through the water and dead people and there was the mother with her baby frozen. Oh that really got me going.
DebS-I didn’t watch the Unplugged with them. I thought it was on VH1 this past Saturday. It was on right after the 100 Greatest 80’s Songs. Number 1 was Bon Jovi-Livin on a Prayer-my fave. Yay!
Danielle said
Not much gets me going. My DAD cries at the Maxwell House commercials or any sappy ones like that. It’s not that I don’t get moved by them. I just can’t cry unless it is real life usually. I must be defective.
DebS said
Ah, perhaps it was on VH1. I don’t actually know what channel things are one anymore or what times. I just tell the tivo what program to record and so I don’t have to know all the details. It is kind of a lazy way to live acutally. haha.
Annalaise duChat said
What always gets me is sad animal movies. I can maintain when bad things happen to people, but throw an animal into the mix and it gets me everytime.
I guess it goes back to being traumatized by Bambi when I was young. D%$#@ Disney flicks!
DebS said
I would say crying at real life over movies is not defective. I fell so defective that I can choked up over a hallmark commercial, but not over real life events.
Danielle said
I don’t like to watch Bambi because of his mother. I can’t watch the animal cop shows on Animal Planet. It pisses me off. How can people be so cruel. I still don’t cry.
DIZEY1 said
I get weepy over animals big time, The Horse Whisperer(Cried), Oh Homeward Bound when they find there way home and Shadow is the last one limping over the hill (Cried), SUCKER is stamped on my forehead. BARBARO on HBO OMG I was sobbing when they finally had to put that magnificent beast down. Yeah animal movies get me good. I guess cuz’ I’ve had to put down what 4 animals it’s tough but like Mufasa said the circle of life, (Cried) then too in the freakin LION KING a damned cartoon. Am I a wuss or what??
🙂 😉
Danielle said
No It doesn’t make you a wuss. It makes you stronger. Even though I giggle when my dad cries at the commercials but I admire him for it also. I man that isn’t ashamed to let people see him cry is stronger and more secure than a man that won’t. I am afraid how he will be when I get married.
Annalaise duChat said
Me too! I am just a sucker for animals. They are full of unconditional love.
DIZEY1 said
He’ll be a proud sobbing daddy. That’s his job ya know.
DIZEY1 said
Dr.du Chat,
You are so right. They do love with all their little souls. I think while I’m off next week on vacation I may go check out the SPCA for a pup. I need one it’s been long enough. My problem w/the SPCA is how do you pick just one?? They all want to go home with you. It’s so hard to do that. But ZEN is looking for me. That’s his name in my dream. I need to find him.
Anzia said
I just don’t like Bambi. I won’t watch it. I remember as a kid watching a movie about the old testament and a lot of horses died. I was so upset. I sat there crying and no one could get me to stop. My step-father after explaining that the horses hadn’t really died asked me why I was still crying and I said something like, “yeah,but they died then! and they didn’t do anything. Why did god have to kill them?” Still cry over needless animal deaths.
Actually, and Nina will attest to this, I cry at REALLY romantic things. Or if a movie has really made you wait for the “happy ever after” I’ll bawl! But it goes the other way too. I get so ANGRY at movies and characters that I’ll skip over parts of movies or just never watch them again. For example, in Legally Blonde, when Elle is asking the same question over and over again… I can’t watch it. It makes me really uncomfortable. my face flames red and i act as if it were ME!
To who asked, Johnny Depp has NOT played a vampire. I just have a VERY active imagination ^_^ Let me tell you. I will NEVER think about those changing tents at beaches the same again! WOW!
DebS- your right. If I’m crying w/o a movie it means one of three things: 1) something really REALLY bad has happened, 2) i’m REALLY stressed or 3) I’m on the verge of losing my temper and I can’t do anything about it except cry.
If we’re adding hunks i’d request Billy Currington (country singer). I know I’m dead at the end but… i’m SURE a few of you guys would enjoy him too. ^_^
Annalaise duChat said
Good Luck with that! We got our 3 1/2 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog at the pound when she was 6 months. What a treasure! She is the sweetest, smartest dog. Very unique markings too. Black and Brindle tan with white points & chest. She has one blue eye and one brown eye. When we were in checking her out that day she was very shy until I said “Would you like to come live with us?” then she washed my face so I knew she was the one.
Danielle said
Oh yeah Billy Currington. He is another curly haired cutie. Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban,…….
DIZEY1 said
Annalaise, thats awesome. Yeah I’m ready. I haven’t been without a dog for so long, and I love when I come home and they’re all happy to see me what a wonderful feeling. I miss that lovin’. Monkey the fat cat doesn’t play those doggy games. She wines when she wants to be fed, and every now and then wants a little rubbin’. But she’s a good cat.
DIZEY1 said
While we are speaking about country dudes, how about my home grown Tim McGraw, he’s one fine hunk of man, lucky Faith I say. What a body on him, especially when he wears those white T-shirts and check out the tight jeans. OOOOEEEEE Baby!!!
Anzia said
Dizey! – LOL of COURSE!
Danielle- YES! I’m actually really diggin’ Trent Tomlinson too! Something about a bad boy on a motorcycle singing about his daddy being a good man who goes astray at times. *purrrs* yes please!
Danielle said
Timmy and although Kenny Chesney doesn’t have the best looking face(his smile is adorable though) he has one of the best looking bods. How about Keith Anderson? Anyone know what he looks like?
Annalaise duChat said
Kitties are great, too. Particularly if you don’t want to be tied down as much. Leave a dish of food and plenty of water & a litterbox and they are good for several hours. Doggies need to be let out on a regular basis. Makes it hard to travel too far from home for extended periods. That’s something to considr if you want a dog.
Danielle said
I have a cat and a dog (mini Dachshund).

I’m not too much into Country Dudes, but I can appreciate your “Rodeo Romeos”.
I’m a rock girl myself. Bon Jovi is pretty awesome. Let’s see who else? I’ll think about it while I’m at lunch. Back Shortly.

So Danielle, you didn’t cry at What Girls Learn, did you? If anyone wants an excuse to have a realy cryfest rent a really, old, old, movie called Old Yeller. I watched it once and couldn’t bring myself to watch it ever again. It came on TV some time back and I still couldn’t watch it.
Danielle said
I didn’t watch it yet Margaret. That is what started the whole crying thing. I said I hadn’t watched it yet but I don’t think I will cry. We will have to see. If everything stays fairly quiet tonight I will try and watch it. I doubt it will be quiet tonight. If anybody comes to wish me a Happy Birthday it will probably be pretty crazy at my place.
DIZEY1 said
Yo Margaret, Old Yeller just sad. All Disney flicks think about it Cinderella, no family wicked step’s, Old Yeller kill the dog, Bambi kill the mother, Snow White poison apple, SLeeping Beauty, pricked by spinning wheel & sent into indefinite slumber. In the grand scheme of things Walt was a little twisted in trying to get a message across. So many of the Disney flix are like that, Nemo’s mom gets eaten by a barracuda, twisted 🙂 😉
Danielle said
The Fox and the Hound-Tod’s mother was killed and he had to be kept from Copper, his best friend.
DIZEY1 said
Oh and Ms.Margaret, Your b’day is July 1st. I’m on July 6th. You know we have quite a few cancerians here and it sure does explain alot about us and our likes and dislikes. What a trip. I’m taking off all next week I do every year and it’s so close I can taste it.
Danielle said
Will you be coming on here when you are off Beth? You will probably be very busy.
DIZEY1 said
Danielle, isn’t that strange. I know Walt was trying to teach life lessons but when I look back at all the movies and how sad some of them were, it just makes me wonder. Now don’t get me wrong, I love pretty much all the Disney stuff Nemo’s one of my fav’s, Dory (Ellen Degeneres/sp?) so freakin’ funny. It’s nice to just watch some simple tv. OPEN SEASON OMG Ashton Kutcher if ya’ll haven’t seen it you must really funny. I have to watch all this with Logan, he makes me, I swear 🙂 😉
lwildstar said
Disney movies?! boy have you guys gotten off on a strange track to day. Swamped witht he new position…but i really don’t have enought things to give the temp – poor girl is sitting out there bord out of her mind!
Well it looks like I can work on the new site from work- so that may be my lunch time project – may just play around with it – I was thinking of “closing” it down for the summer as intrest wanes anyway.
Love all the new eye candy you have been suggesting as extras for the movie – yes we will all need lots of comfort when we return from our mission!
I’m half way through the first Shadow book – its good but hasn’t hooked me the way the Blood books did – I still don’t think we should kill Tanya off – I think having to “put up” with us preparing for the rescue will be enough of a punishment – kinda like hearding cats.
Well lunch is almost over and I still have to go bother with ASCAP about my song – I’m suposed to receive some kind of update this week.
Have fun guys and I’ll check back this evening…..
DIZEY1 said
Oh for sure at home I’ll get mesmerized by this darn blog and can’t stay away. You’ll see me or read me.
Danielle said
Cool. You would definitely be missed with all your stories from the gutter.
DIZEY1 said
Oh yeah Birthday girl I’m your GUTTER GIRL for sure. A little smut goes a long way.
***I MISS HENRY…………..IS IT OCTOBER YET???? 😦 😦
Annalaise duChat said
All right here’s who I thunk of.
Rob Thomas & John Mayer. BTW I’m going to see John Mayer on July 1st at the Blossom Music Center (in Ohio) I have 11th row seats. I can’t wait!
Danielle said
Oh Rob Thomas that’s right. John Mayer does nothing for me. He is from CT though. Right here from Connecticut.
Anzia said
OOO, Smut? did someone mention smut? I’m in! ^_^
Annalaise duChat said
Oh John Mayer’s a cutie, and his songs are so romantic. “Your Body is a Wonderland” I just melt eveytime I hear it. Takes me back to my youth. Sigh.
Danielle said
I like his music but to look at him he is not my ideal. I like that song. What is that line about laying your head in my hand or something like that. That is my fave line from the song. Or is that another of his songs?
DIZEY1 said
Hey Z, of course it was me say something dirty to me. I need it I’m longing for my Henri’. I’d like him to whisper sweet French nothings in my ear while he’s doing that nibbling and sniffing thingy. I do need a man. Maybe Claire’s friend w/benefits has a friedn for me.

No it goes “You tell me where to go, and though I leave to find it I’ll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it.” That’s hot.
Danielle said
That’s right I love that line.
DIZEY1 said
John Mayer just played at this years N.O. Jazz & Heritage Fest I didn’t make it the day he played. the first year he came to the fest was wild. The crowd was so into it. Rob Thomas, yeah he’s cool. I like Chris Daughtry I’m from the old school of rock also. I like Damned Yankee’s, Styx, Chicago, Journey, I liked old Van Halen great rock-n-roll man. Those were our Florida summer party days, on the beach spiked watermelons, god I miss the old days.
lwildstar said
my goof on the previous post – I ment to say we SHOUL:DN”T kill tanya off – my hands and brain dont always work together when i’m typing fast.
Well lunch is over! Talk at you tonight – weather permitting – those nasty thunderstorms are expected again tonight!
Annalaise duChat said
You don’t want me to start reminiscing about old style rockers. I was in my late teens early twenties in thelate 70’s early 80’s. Now that was the time for rockers!
But you young ones probably EEEW they’re old!

Oh man, Old Yeller. I watched that at school once in elementary and I just cried sitting in the classroom. I really dont’ think they should show that in school…they probably dont’ anymore. How about Where the Red Fern Grows (movie or book)…sobstory!!!
YMMM…Keith Urban, Rob Thomas, John Mayer. I do like where our minds have gone today.
Let me add Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor to the list of hunks. I think I must have something for British men.
DebS said
I love Elton. Possibly one of my top faves of all time. Love Eric Clapton too.
Danielle said
Although I think all rockers are sexy and hot I have to think twice about Steven Tyler. What about BIlly Idol?
lwildstar said
Opinion:
When doing the Thank you card – do you think it will be ok to use pictures of the “Trio” or should I stick with the non specific pictures –
Also MADONNA – what do you think about adding a shot of your wonderful postcard on the thank you?
Will check back tonight for responses…
this is the last week if you want to get your greeting added email them to me at

Christian Bale-Yum Deb I beat you to the punch on Ewan. He was on my list up further and he is from Scotland. Sorry!
Danielle said
Who likes Jude Law? He is a yum also.
Annalaise duChat said
Steven Tyler is not pretty. But when he was young and strutting his stuff he was fery sexy. Mick Jagger falls into the same category. Dis you ever see the movie Gimme Shelter?
Danielle said
Nope. What is it about? I also like Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg. Oh another yum.
Annalaise duChat said
It’s a documentary about the time the Rolling Stones hires a group of Hell’s Agel to do security at a concert at Altamont Speedway and they ended up killing some people in the crowd. Heady Stuff.
Danielle said
Oh I heard about that incident. It was on VH1’s Most Outrageous Moments in rock or something like that.
DIZEY1 said
Christian Bale, yes Batman the last one right?? I do like Steve Tyler also. OOh Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen (w/out political comments) Born to Run, brings back memories. J Giles band, I’m def. dating myself here.
Annalaise duChat said
They took a lot of flack for it. They probably should have gone to jail or something.
Although I’m sure they didn’t expect anything like that to happen, but it was very negligent on their part. If that happened today I’m sure the outcome would have been much differant.

Good Grief! It is impossible to keep up with everyone’s posts. I have really missed you all.
Happy belated birthdays to Danielle and MsGypsy. I hope you both had wonderful celebrations.
Thank you for all the well wishes for my Mother. Surgery went well, but she requires a lot of help. She has a honkin’ huge cast on her arm and shuffles like Tim Conway’s little old man. Right now she is staying with me so that my daughter and I can help her.
Okay, I tried to skim all the posts, but I know I missed most of the good stuff. Can someone explain what the gesture Kyle was making was all about? I didn’t see the picture and my curiosity is killing me 🙂
I am feeling left out here…all the talk of the movie and I have absolutely no role. I want to play!!!! Can we give me something cool to do – Plleeeeezzzee?!
You know, one of the worst things about being out of touch to help my Mom was not being able to watch any of my BT episodes. It has been the worst form of withdrawal.
DIZEY1 said
Dr.Du Chat, I’ll be OMG **47** on July 6th, that’s next week, when did that happen?? However I feel more like 30 ya know what I mean??

I love Jethro Tull, Genesis, Blue Oyster Cult, REO Speewagon, Heart, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Manfred Mann, Springsteen, I could go on and on.

Dizey you are the same age as my husband. (I like them young) I am 51 chronologically but mentally I’m still in my 30’s as well! You are only as old as you think you are.

Happy Belated Birthday

Danielle said
HEY BLAH! How have you been?
DIZEY1 said
elizabeth here’s what Madonna posted Saturday about the shocker hand gesture. Hope you don’t get offended.
HERES WHAT I FOUND
The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the pinky finger into the nearby anus (the “shocker”). The thumb is used to stimulate the clitoris. Because of its explicit sexual connotation, the shocker is sometimes considered vulgar. Has thought to have been originated in St. Catharines, Ontario, by local aboriginals.
Himmiefan said
Hello everyone! Still scratching moscuito bites from the bunny rescue operation this weekend. We didn’t get the little critter, but we’re still on the lookout.
Now, I whole-heartedly approve of you brining in other objects of your affections. That way, it won’t be so bad when Henry runs off with me! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh, stop throwing rocks at me!! Ow!
I hearby decree that in Elder Hostel, any and all deaths will be solely on the part of the bad guys. They’re free to kick the bucket any time. Any supposed deaths of any member of the rescue squad will be only a ruse to confuse the bad guys. Fortunately, that won’t be hard to do. Queen Tanya as Charlie won’t be nearby and will be out of danger. In the movie, Loves History and others will send her flowers and her favorite foods in order to entice her to write more books with Vicki in them. You catch more flies with honey, although I don’t know why anyone would want to catch flies.
Gotta go. Lunch calling!
Himmiefan said
By the way, did Nina and any other interested parties get caught up with what we’re doing? Also, didn’t someone mention a mascot?
My cat has announced that she’s coming on the missions since someone has to be cute and fluffy.

I’m cool but I missed my blog-family.
Margaret said
lh: You’re not the only old fart here. I remember Jim Morrison. He was born in Melbourne, FL I think. Buried somewhere in France.
Danielle said
Never ever stray again Blah. The repercussions aren’t worth it.
Annalaise duChat said
Gee, Looks like our boy ain’t so sweet and innocent after all. And I was afraid of offending his sensibilities. Girls I think we should let him have it.
Blah said
Ah but ’tis not my fault.You see my computer fried itself the sunday Norman aired. Long story short I went three weeks without internet access and now have a laptop.whoo-yoo
Danielle said
Damn those fried computers. Don’t they realize addictions have to be fed. The need to chat with your BT/blog friends are imperative at this point. Dr Z any help?
Annalaise duChat said
Are you talking to me or Anzia?
Danielle said
Either but Dr Z is Anzia.
Blah said
Yes it is imperative to talk to you guys. I think I about drove my mom crazy because I had no one to talk about BT with exept her.
Danielle said
I bet she was rolling her eyes at you. My mom always does.
Blah said
My mom likes BT (or maybe just Henry) but she isn’t addicted to it like me.I guess I need to work a lil’ harder. 😉 lol
Danielle said
Himmiefan-Nobody can take the place of my Henry.
Danielle said
Blah-Is this your first time with access to the internet since Norman? They yanked all the episodes off youtube. You have to watch them on Lifetime now. I wasn’t sure if you watched them on youtube or if you have the itunes ones.
Margaret said
Well, at least after that little hand gesture, no one seems to want to debate whether he’s gay any more. So out of all bad things comes a little good.
Danielle said
*sigh* Danielle breathes a sigh of relief. I didn’t even think of that one little good thing.
Annalaise duChat said
It never crossed my mind that he was gay.
Margaret said
Not that would be bad, it would just be a waste for all of us who have spent considerable hours lusting after him.
Danielle said
Blah-I mean I know you said it fried around the time Norman came on but I go on at my sister’s or my friend Kelly’s occasionally. In doing so I got my 13 year old niece Alli and Kelly hooked.
Margaret said
Odd question: Checked the teenboppy magazines and there is no sign of our Henry. Does that mean he’s too old for them and too young for us? lol
Danielle said
Annalaise-It never crossed my mind either until people makes comments about it and I get worried that maybe he is. It is really hard to tell today.
By the way I got this match on match.com today who said, “To be honest I am bi-sexual.”
elizabeth said
Dizey1 – Thanks for the explanation. I guess our boy isn’t as innocent as I thought – hehehe. Where was this picture located?
Danielle said
I think he needs to be a little more famous here in order to be in the teen mags. He is definitely not to old for them. They always do the hottest stars under 25. Really age is not a factor if he is mature in my opinion.
Danielle said
and knows how to treat a lady, with respect and and equality.

Gotcha!
Annalaise duChat said
Where did everybody go?
Margaret said
Most of the kids I saw in there were probably the same age of the readers with the exception of Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan (great role models, geezzz). Heres the conundrum-He’s probably way too old for most of them and way too young for most of us. And people want to know why I like to fanatize.
Danielle said
I’m here just kinda lurking, waiting for somebody to say something. Kelly told me that she comes on here and lurks. She really needs to get off her ass and just say something. Yes Kelly if you are reading this, TALK!
Danielle said
You know being my birthday today she should come on for my sake. She knows she shouldn’t really call me at work so she can come on here and say Happy Birthday. Humph Whatever! 😉
Danielle said
Well I’m skipping out early. Boss called in sick today. That must have been his birthday present to me. Thanks for all the birthday wishes everybody. Talk to you tomorrow.

Good Afternoon Blogkin!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! DANI!!!!!! 🙂
LH-you are not so old and certainly not the oldest…aren’t you only 50?
I do remember the doors and always sang The Lion sleeps tonight to my kids…
even the 7 yr old quads know it!
So,I got a call from MOnique this morning…you said she was feeling very sisterly and was coming to pick up Elijah for a week!!!
He is the youngest of the Quads…and the biggest…and my biggest challenge…very alpha male…the noise decibel has dramatically dropped since he left.You don’t hear or see the other three…right now,they are all asleep.
Elijah never sleeps LOL!!! So it’s a nice break.
Went by the hens last night at 10…nobody there WAAAAAAH!
so I went to sleep…and I’m still sleepy!
Hey Blah….Nice to see ya again….bienvenue en arrière!
I think I’ll take a nap!

Hey Blah*** Glad your back!! 🙂
Dani girl enjoy your birthday 🙂 😉
Claire, my Logan seems like he’s always yelling. I’m constantly telling him I’m right here I can hear you man. You lucky dog I wish I could take a nap right now.
Ms.Elizabeth give me your email and I’ll send you the pic. it was the one they shot at the end of the season. Was on one day and yanked off the next.
Annalaise 🙂 it never crossed my mind either and I’ve never got any vibe from him that he was gay. No big either way but my opinion is NO WAY he’s all man 🙂 😉
lwildstar said
yea! my copy of Zerophillia finally came in! So many of you have been going on and on about it that I just had to get a copy. Guess thats what I’ll be watching tonight if the expected storm doesnt knock out the power 🙂 …..I watched History or Violence over the weekend…
well, got a little time left on the clock, so I should get back to work.
elizabeth said
Dizey1 – my email is elizabeth.parker@xerox.com. Thanks for sending me the picture. I am ever and always curious 🙂
lwildstar – I hope you love Zerophillia as much as I did. It is a movie I have watched numerous times, along with The covenant. Where do you live that you have so many vicious storms?
elizabeth said
Hey, I got the smiley face to work! Too cool ::
DIZEY1 said
Iwildstar , and everyone else who just rec’d “Z” *** You’re gonna love it. I can’t wait to hear your reactions. I’m gonna watch tonight also. Love my Max, he’s totally sweet. And I mean totally sweet 🙂 😉 🙂
What did you think of History of Violence. I love Viggo, one of my fav’s. Kyle did a great job getting his ass kicked don’t ya’ think. He does a good job being bad 😦
Blah said
Dizey1-See I knew y’all missed me! Everyone loves a teenager. (yeah right)
Annalaise duChat said
Bye all! Time for me to head home. Catch you tomorrow if not sooner.
elizabeth said
Dizey1 – I got the email. Thanks for the picture. Now I see what everyone was talking about 🙂 I haven’t seen the History of Violence yet. I have hesitated because I thought it would be…uh..well…violent. Is it watchable for a person who can’t stand too much violence?
DIZEY1 said
Blah**My dawlin’ of course we missed ya’ and we don’t descriminate here, we’re peeps of all ages, nationalities, religions. We don’t get mad if our opinions differ. IT’S ALL GOOD!! How TEEN are you??
Blah said
13 going on 35. Okay so maybe I’m just 13 but hey.
DIZEY1 said
elizabeth, I was hesitant at first, but I love Viggo and the I like Maria Belo also. Very good movie just intense. Worth watchign. They also have a behind the scenes which is called Acts of Violence that shows th making of and Kyle putting on his padding before the “Ass Kicking” you may want to watch that first and it won’t seem as violent to you . Does that make sense??
Tango said
Wededede dedededede a wee um um bo way! With all this talk about the Lion Sleeps Tonight – just had to do it!
LH – I guess I am just not following your logic of villain credibility. You state, “someone has to die “to give credibility to our villains”. I think if someone dies, let it be someone who is not a main character. I think anyone who plays a part in our blog is a main character. Just as BT kills off extras and not the main characters. This will go a long way to keep good will within our bloggerati as well – so we are not necessarily “softies” just trying to keep peace amongst our own side. Us against them, baby! I think as Hemmiefan is the director/producer, she has already taken a stand on this anyway.
Although you have worked for the mafia in the past, please don’t forget the age ol’ saying, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” We don’t need no stinkin’ villain to kill one of us to get our feather’s ruffled, just mess with our men and we can be very vindictive, sneaky, and kick a**. Can I get an “AMEN” ladies? Just look at what Vicki did when Havier (sp?) vampnapped Henry – she was willing to kick but although she didn’t get the opportunity. Let them threaten to kill us, but not succeed.
I know this isn’t a TV show we’re planning, but sequels are big business my friend, and we have to be thinking ahead. After all, what will we be doing next summer? Elder Hostile – part two I presume. 🙂
Hey blah! Glad you’re back sweetie! 🙂
Madonna said
Hello everyone,
You all have been busy. My vacation is over so I had to go back to hell today.
Wow, I mentioned Adrian Paul and I started a lust fest. (I’m not sharing by the way.) Wink, Wink…. I can handle being an assistant as long as I can have a man. Johnny Depp is not bad looking, but I associate him with my father. A bit of a story there…..
I can’t tell you just how much of a 60’s music fan I am. I’m sad to hear about The Tokens lead singer. I saw them live about 8 years ago. I love old Motown, 60’s party rock and British invasion, but my favorite are The Righteous Brothers. Anyone remember them? My favorite song is You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’. Bill Medley just has a voice that can melt ya.
lwildstar,
You can feel free to add the postcard to Tanya’s card. Could you sign it for me as well. I would have sent my greeting a long time ago but the link you post on here doesn’t seem to work for me????
elizabeth,
Glad to hear that your mother is doing well.
Blah,
Hi, I’m Madonna. I don’t think we have “met” before.
Well I may be back later, maybe not. Busy…busy…busy….
Love y’all.
Anzia said
Hey guys! Dr. Z is needed huh? I will promise everyone something. I will have the first section of the Henry/Vicki Food scene done and ready by tomorrow. When I went back to edit (yes, I really put a lot of effort into this) i expanded it by about 3 times. So, we’ll see how long it finally ends up as. Notice, the first part is only the warm up. Also, I probably won’t post it directly TO the blog as I konw ms.gypsy isn’t a fan of fanfic. I don’t want to force people to see it if they don’t want to so I’ll be putting up links. ^_^ Or, I can just email it out. Let me know which you’d prefer.
Dizey- I love smut. I was READING smut when I was in Middle school (which might explain a lot if you think about it. ^_^)! I will admit, with pride!, that I still do read and usually enjoy my “smut.” I don’t remember the name of the first book Harliquin Romance (it was an Intrigue) that I read but I can describe in GREAT detail this one scene (probably not for the reasons you think but they were doing that too). The guy’s name was Adrian and he had this cream that healed a wound (a very bad one) in hours. That’s about all I remember (other than the aforementioned scene) but I’m hooked.
himmiefan- ^_^ You mean I get a chance to play with henry when we’re all done now? YAY! or, wait, is it J. Depp? *shrugs* either works for me!
How about Johnathan Rhys Meyers and Sean Biggerstaff! IRISH BABY!
LH- I LOVE DISNEY THANK YOU! I will admit it freely and proudly that at 22 I, by choice, go to Disney movies in the theatre and own quite a few of them on DVD. I even have a huge playlist of Disney soundtracks.

Hi BlogKin!
I went to LT and looked for the video section to see if I could watch the full versions of the episodes.. Maybe I was on the wrong page, as I I saw were the PREVIEWS. There WAS a link that hooked you to iTunes so that you could BUY it…
Welcome Back BLAH, we missed you!!

Tango said
Rifkind, make sure you are under “Full Episodes” and not just under “show”.
Himmiefan said
Hi Blah. I don’t think we’ve met yet either. We’re just playing around here plotting out our own pretend movie where we have to rescue Henry. At 13, you can be in the movie too, but we’re going to have to dunk you head first in a vat of MonsterBeGone. Anyone under 30 is a prime target of movie monsters. Just a fact of life. So, those of us over 30 are going in to kick some monster butt and save Henry.
Blah said
Rifkind-I misssed everyone of my blog sistas (and brothers), but I’m back and you can’t get rid of me -as if you’d want to- 🙂

Hi Himmiefan I ‘d love to be in the movie.Even tho I think I could handle myself if you must dunk me head first in a vat of MonsterBeGone so be it.

Tango AMEN sista!
Himmefan – I mentioned a mascott but its just a silly little metalic purple bat my friend gave me – she called him our mascot….theres a post to see him somewhere above…his name is Henry Michael Victor Fangs (Victor is for Vicki)…she thinks I’m nuts with all this “obsesive behavior” as she called it, but since we were together for 8 hours Saturday I told her she had a choice in conversation 1) Blood Ties 2) Paul 3) work…we started with work and ended with Paul – she wouldn’t let me talk about Blood Ties!
as for the movie I like the idea of a bat for mascot
Hey I lost my post!….We’ll see if it shows up again, like last time

Elizabeth – I live in MD just outside DC…this time of year with the humidity we get these “pop up” thunderstorms – so every weather report says we are to expect them – even if we never see a cloud – sucks big time..I take public transportation to and from work and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left work and its bright and sunny only to get to the half way home and have the heavens open up……if I’m lucky I can pull the “puppy dog pout” on my one supervisor and get him to drive me home – but that usually only works if its already raining……
right now its starting to cloud over, so I don’t think I’m going to risk the computer tonight, I’m to frustrated with the website issue anyway – I did copy all my pictures to disk and I’ll just slowly rebuild it a lunch at work until I can figure out why I can’t get the program to see I’ve shut off the pop up blocker…oh well – a geek I’m not. I’ll post the new website address when I get something worth viewing up – I still have to figure out how to add pages and link them.
I hope it doesn’t storm too bad I want to watch Z tonight!
Ok did I get to everyone? I’ll check back in the morning……

Glad you mom is feeling better – Elizabeth – I live in MD just outside DC…this time of year with the humidity we get these “pop up” thunderstorms – so every weather report says we are to expect them – even if we never see a cloud – sucks big time..I take public transportation to and from work and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left work and its bright and sunny only to get to the half way home and have the heavens open up……if I’m lucky I can pull the “puppy dog pout” on my one supervisor and get him to drive me home – but that usually only works if its already raining……
right now its starting to cloud over, so I don’t think I’m going to risk the computer tonight, I’m to frustrated with the website issue anyway – I did copy all my pictures to disk and I’ll just slowly rebuild it a lunch at work until I can figure out why I can’t get the program to see I’ve shut off the pop up blocker…oh well – a geek I’m not. I’ll post the new website address when I get something worth viewing up – I still have to figure out how to add pages and link them.
ok power just bliped! I hope it doesn’t storm too bad I want to watch Z tonight!
Ok did I get to everyone? I’ll check back in the morning……

I’m that way with my cat too, and dogs for that matter. So, will Poolie (like that one for the movie) be a sidekick in one of the vehicles, or will she be the cat that Laurel and I avoid in the Ferrari that gives us our great airborn scene?

well lets try one more time to post – and I appoligize if I end up with duplicates

backtracking a bit..
yikes! over 100 postings since the last time I came in here to visit..!
———-
Anzia and Scotialynn,
awww, I *loved* Dragonheart – cried at the ending, too, when everyone else was crying, as the star was being formed, etc. It was so beautiful. Story had its funny parts too (like the scene with the hero getting bashed into the trees, and the sword in the dragon’s mouth and the dental work that resulted after).
———-
I’m also a sucker for cartoons, too. So, age doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in your heart that counts.
and Adrian Paul.. OOoooo!
nice choice, but still not my ultimate vamp.
We must be passing on vibes to each other, because I kept thinking of Adrian Paul for some other reason, in the back of my mind for the past several days. 😉
Oh… now I know why Adrian Paul kept coming to my mind-
because Gateworld’s (web site) been having some “Highlander” (cartoon) ads pop up for the latest venture on the market. I forget the name of it, tho.
lwildstar said
Tango – just sent you an email with the tracking results – please let me know when your goodies arrive – USPS says thebox is in Pinson, but not yet delivered…
another power blip!
I’m out
Sorry about all the double posts!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Blah said
I’ll talk to y’alll later tonight I need to go seach the kitchen for something that resembles food. 😉
Peace out Blogkin!
Tango said
lwildstar – I guess you didn’t see where I posted Sunday letting you know I got it thisweekend. I wore it yesterday. Thanks honey! ILOVE IT! 🙂
Madonna said
Claire,
Sorry dear. There were about 8-10 of us there last night for the chat at 10pm Eastern. I think we just showed up fashionably late.
Anzia,
Who doesn’t love a little smut? I have quite a collection of it. Heck I’m even trying to write it. LOL!!!
We touched on this on the chat last night for a minute, but I think it deserves mentioning again. While waiting in line at the grocery store yesterday I picked up a copy of TV Guide and flipped through it. They had an article about Jericho. It said specifically that the only reason that show will be back in the fall is because of fans support. They sent peanuts. I’ve also seen a commercial for it that starts by saying something like “Every so often a show comes along that captures the loyalty and imaginations of its fans.” It ends by saying “Fans, this is for you…”
So here is to hoping that Lifetime will value us and it’s great product and the fine cast enough to keep it around for a long time to come. Everyone involved deserves it.
Rifkind said
Thanks Tango!
I knew I was on the wrong spot… I now see the episodes … You had it pegged. I was on the SHOW link!
Anzia said
AMEN TANGO!
Tango said
I just looked up this Adrian Paul you all have been cooing over today. I vote yes! I don’t know if his accent is his, but I like the accents I’ve heard him do.
Dizey – cute e-mail today – thanks for the smiles! 🙂
I sent you an e-card to your work address, make sure you sound isn’t too loud – unless you want people to know what you’re up to. 😉
Tango said
de nada Rifkind!
I’m off to create a culinary masterpiece and dine with my lover – see Z, you’ve already got me going about your next installment ,and I haven’t even read any of it yet. A link or e-mail is fine with me either way.
Check with y’all later dudes and dudettes!
Anzia said
Tango- I just hope it’s good enough for ya’ll. It scares the crap out of me to write characters that aren’t really mine. Might not get the vibe right. ^_^ So, just be kind when you respond to it. ^_^
AlisaSG said
Rifkind,
I didn’t see your other note until I pasted this reply into the box, but I might as well post this anyway, for anyone else.
Rifkind,
>> I went to LT and looked for the video section to see if I could watch the full versions of the episodes.. Maybe I was on the wrong page, as I I saw were the PREVIEWS.
it’s still there. Just scroll up on the “Channel Navigator”
(which is to your left side of the screen) to the
“Full Episodes”
click on Full Episodes. Unfortunately, Lifetime hasn’t put a stop mode on their previews yet, so the previews will continue to play until you click on a different image link. I tried to pause the previews – and even that was a bit tricky and iffy. So, do the following.
When you finally click on the “Full Episodes” link-
currently, Blood Ties is listed under Army Wives.
Then Click on the Blood Ties link and it won’t automatically start playing — until you click on one of the actual segmented image links to the right side of the box -your visual right- that is (or the word “PLAY”). There should be 5 choices per each FULL BT episode.
———-
I just tested it again to see if it was still working (it is) — clicked on the below episode after seeing your note..
and since I keep forgetting to mention – during that time I managed to locate one of my favorite *other* lines from the following.. (thought I’d write it down this time and share)
Episode 2, Part 1
Vicki: “wow. I wouldn’t have *pegged* you for a day over 450.”
Henry: “I use a great moisturizer” (grin)
grin is right! 😀
AlisaSG said
testing… lost my post just now. don’t want to repost – just in case the other one shows up…

Sorry if this reply duplicates. It done disappeared a few moments ago..
I think it got zapped into never-neverland.

Rifkind,
missed seeing your other post above.
thought I’d go ahead and note this anyway for anyone else who had trouble with the same thing (I did.. Teresa almost had to rescue me, too, but I finally found it). 🙂

oh for crying out loud! the first one (finally) came back.
Now there’s two for *good measure!*
Oy! (sorry about that)
AlisaSG said
hmmm, maybe a correction of direction–
>> When you finally click on the “Full Episodes” link-
>> currently, Blood Ties is listed under Army Wives.
maybe that should read instead, as
>> When you finally click on the “Full Episodes” link-
>> currently, Blood Ties program ep link is listed right below Army Wives.
hope that reclarification makes clearer visual sense, since we all know that the BT program is not a part of Army Wives at all.

On the question of pets…
Two cats..two dogs
Smokie-12 year olds beautiful blue smoke color tabby…responds to Man…but you have to say it in a high pitch…he goes totally crazy purring.
Thor-2 years old…born with broken tail that looks like lightening bolt,all black except for his white armpits…gigantic 25 lb cat! doesn’t respond unless he feels the need for lovin lol! oh also drives us nuts meowing all night…doesn’t like when we are asleep!
Milo-1 year old Fox hound..really pretty…semi good boy!
Josie-6 mth old insane Jack Russell…likes to watch BT with me..although I did scare her with my screaming a couple of times!
Tango said
AlisaSG and anyone else who needs to know.
Sometimes when you post the website or the program marks your posts as spam and puts it in a seperate place to be approved, sometimes the posts are sent to a page to be moderated. Mygypsy and I both check these places as we can to release things that are sitting there. But this is a manual process and not that they are getting hung up or that the system is slow to posted. I hope that helped clear things up to why things don’t always get posted right away. Not sure why they end up there, sometimes it a link, but sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Mine end up there on occassion too.
Tango said
Ello Claire! You must have a huge place to cover all those bodies – pets and kiddies. And to say that you have an insane Jack Russell is a bit redundant. They’re all a little insane in the membrane!
Since we are spilling about our pets… we’ve had Chows in the past but now we have 3 rescue animals.
1 gray/white/black long-haired tabby 4 yo male – Sugar Ray due to his boxing gloves and boots. Nicknames – Shug, Shuggie Boogie
1 3 yo tailless black lab/rotty mix (body of a rotty and face and temperment of a lab) Ellie Mae – She was named that b/c she likes people & other animals as much as Ellie Mae Clampet loved animals. She also goes by El and Big Momma – she is like the momma of the other pets – grooming & loving on them – Shug loves her to pieces.
1 – 2 yo black and tan svelt Heinz 57 male dog with rotweiler color markings. Nova – hubby found him as a puppy on the side of the road with two siblings (one run over and died), all of which had been on their own for awhile, skin & bones, and battered looking. Found a home for other survivor, but Nova looked mangy (but wasn’t) so we became attached to him before he could get all his hair back and decided to keep him.
All of my animals shed like crazy – we brush them constantly, but would love to know if there is anything out there to retard the hair loss. Dr. Cree – any suggestions?
DIZEY1 said
Hi ya’ll, just checking to see how things are going. Dad went back into the hospital today. Foot not looking good and they’re probably going to remove it to above his knee. As horrible as that sounds he’s hurting so much it has to be better than the way it is. He’s my dad and it doesn’t matter to me as long as he’s here it’s all good. And once again I have to say: “If God brings you to it He’ll bring you through it.” I’m unfortunately using this motto way more often than I’d like to. Anyway not to be a downer, just a lot of wierd crap going on lately around here. Has anybody else noticed that??
I’ll check back a little later, gonna watch a little Kyle maybe some “Z” that’ll make me happy!! 🙂 😉
AlisaSG said
thanks Tango. I knew about the links holding it up and possibly longer postings. But that’s the first time I’ve heard about mentioning the program title (without a link) within a post. I’ve never seen that happen before about the title, itself.
anywho. sorry about thinking it just went poof this time. I’ll try to remember to take a hike elsewhere and come back in a few hours, instead.
———-
re: pets.. I mentioned my family had a sheltie many years ago. I just read in the paper about the bear population getting out of control in NJ this year (because the state refused to kill any off to keep the numbers down)..
So front page of the local paper, there was an article about a couple of dogs getting attacked by a bear. The one was a sheltie and had it’s jaw broken and bleeding. I don’t know if dog was or will have to be put down. 😦
Margaret said
I wrote to Denis McGrath some time back about our frustration with Lifetime and he educated me with the following:
DMc said…
M.Daly, yer welcome. I may not agree on things like fanfic, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t respect fans and feel grateful for their support, and think that maybe that means a bit of responsibiilty of trying to keep them in the loop. Tanya, if anything, is even more patient than I. She sets a great example.
As to your question though, don’t be so hard on Lifetime re: DVD releases. I’m not sure that Lifetime has much to do with that.
For Lifetime, Blood Ties is an acquired show. It’s not something they produce. It was produced by a Canadian company, and that company and their partners have to distribute the show around the world. The budget and profit is made first from TV sales to other countries. Blood Ties went to market a couple of months ago and did really well — sold all around the world, in fact.
Now all those TV channels that bought BT have to run them. In Canada, the show hasn’t even started yet (It begins in August.) The company would be foolish to bring out the DVD before it’s aired in the countries who paid good money for TV rights.
With piracy and torrenting a problem, there has to be the space for the countries to air the season first.
This used to happen all the time and you never heard about it, because there was no internet, and you didn’t really hear about a show or a movie until it opened in your area or the publicity started for your local tv airing.
Big conglomerates like Sony have responded by now opening their movies all over the world at once, and paying for advertising all over the world at once. You can do that if you’re a huge multinational. You can’t do it if you’re a small Canadian company.
The perception is that “three to four months” for a DVD release is “normal.” But it’s not “normal.” It’s incredibly fast. The show hasn’t finished airing anywhere yet (including the USA) and hasn’t STARTED in a lot of places.
So I’m sorry if you think the DVD is taking too long to come out, but the only thing I can say to that is, it’s not, and this is how the show was sold to get it made, and I know they are working on it, and I’m sure they’ll get it out as soon as they can.
And oh yeah — don’t bother Lifetime about that because they have nothing to do with the DVD.
Hope that explains things a bit. Be well.

Dizey1: Hope your dad comes through everything alright.
Not to ruin your day any more than it has been but I read a review somewhere on Z that said that the actors used body doubles. So your mission is to freeze frame the shower picture, map out locations of moles, birthmarks, etc., and compare them to Henry the next time you see him. I know its a dirty job, but someone has to do it. lol. Didn’t Christina say something about Henry being on her lighted table partially disrobed? That should be something to look forward to.
Madonna said
Dizey1,
I’m so sorry to hear that about your dad, but it is better that he lose a leg than his life. If his leg has to be removed maybe he can look into getting a prostetic. Was he already in bad shape when he found out he had diabetes? Didn’t you once say that you were a diabetic as well? It is such a scary disease and takes such a toll on the body. I’ve lived with it now for 11 years and I know all about the fears that go along with it.
Keep your head up and your faith strong and God will see you and your family through it. And if you want to talk about it at all you know where to find me. My prayers are with you all.
Claire said
Yeah Tango..Thank God..the house is big!…5 bedrooms,4 bathrooms,open plan on first floor…plenty of room for crazy Josie to chase the poor cats round and round the kitchen,dining room,living room.Fully finished basement,with huge bedroom(Christopher/Brittanny)playroom,laundry room,closets.The fox hound is Christophers baby…he sleeps and hangs out in the basement..We don’t let him run around too much upstairs…cause him chasing Josie,who by the way is a third of his size,but manages to kick his butt..would destroy the hardwood floors…the basement is carpeted.Big Yard also.
Dizey…My prayers go out to your Dad! There is some weird Merde going on…isn’t there? Love you girl.
Monique had a coyote in her garage!!!! Seems a few of my neighbors have also seen them around!
Anyway…..Rêves doux..Bonne Nuit
Tango said
Beth, I am so sorry to hear about you dad. But I know what you mean, my father is in poor health and has been thru cancer twice in the past six years. I agree with what you said – You don’t care what shape they’re in (well you do, but you know what I mean) as long they are here to love on. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.
Alisa, by all means stay and mingle, just realize that if you don’t see that Gypsy or I have posted in awhile it’s probably safe to say we haven’t had a chance to check to see what’s gotten caught up. I always enjoy your comments and hope you’ll to hang around more.
Anzia said
I’m sorry to hear about your dad Dizey. 😦 You have my prayers for you and your family and a great big HUG for you.
Cree said
Tango–unfortunately there is no miracle cure for shedding, though I desparately with there was! The best you can do is brush them every day and feed them a high quality diet for a better hair coat which will cut down on the shedding as much anything can.
Himmiefan said
Dizey1 – prayers for your dad!!
Claire – your Thor sounds like my Matilda. Why let Mama nap when she could be up doing something for the cat? We all know who the boss of the house is….
Tango – Matilda would love to help you and Laurel achieve your great airborne scene. Just don’t get distracted by her cuteness.
Also, I tell people that I buy the clothes with the hair already on it. Paid extra for it.
Margaret – thanks for sharing your message from Denis McGrath. I like checking his blog every now and then. I really do think BT has a good chance of being renewed, but I hope they get on the ball and do it before Kyle is in his mid-40s and Christina and Dylan are nearing 60.
Now, I have an opening scene for our movie. Don’t know if it’s good or not, but I think it’s pretty interesting. I know Ms Gypsy doesn’t like fan fic, so I’m not sure where to post this. Any suggestions? It’s not very long.
msgypsy said
I haven’t been near a computer almost all day so catching up is going to be a challenge,
But, I have to make a distinction. I don’t care for fanfic, true, but I don’t see this movie as fanfic. It’s more like satire, satirizing ourselves. It’s like that play I’m in, which isn’t exactly Macbeth, but is based on Macbeth. So I think it’s okay to post the movie scenes here.
And now I’m going to at least give catching up a shot. But more likely I’ll be curling up shortly with a book and my crochet hook. It’s been a hectic weekend followed by a hectic day today.
Anzia said
Okay guys! It’s 4 am and I just finished it. So, as promised (and as early as I could) Here’s the link to Henry/Vicki’s food scene pt. 1: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1282268

I really hope ya’ll enjoy it! Feel free to email comments (anziacromer@yahoo.com), or put ’em here if ms.gypsy wouldn’t mind. But don’t feel like you HAVE to comment! I’m just giving options ^_^. I really hope it’s up to par.

lwildstar said
well the storm never appeared over my house last night – but it must have been somewhere over the power grid because the powere kept going on and off for about an hour or so – it was nearly 9pm before I felt i could saftly watch “Z” and can I just say “OMG!” I’m sure to be watching that again soon!
Max, Max, Max! the shower scence – I would have prefered more shots of his rear thatn hers, but begggers cant be chosers.
I find now that I’m watching more movies looking for Kyle that I’m recognizing more of his manerisms (Kyleisims) the smirk, the eye brows, the clentched jaw, the scowel, the smile (oh that smile), and my fav – the “I know soething you don’t know” smile – makes me smile just thinking about it!
Well I’m scooting off to the post office to pick up some post cards before work – its going to be too disgustingly hot to go at lunch.
Thanks Tango – I must have missed the message – or maybe I saw it and forgot – its been like that the last couple of days!
Ms. Gypsy – I’m going to pick up the international envelope and any papers I’ll need to ship – will contact you soon.
Toodles for now – maybe I’ll check back at lunch after I fight witht he website a while!

AlisaSG,
Thanks for the extended info on how to find the episodes on LT.
Even risking the double post monster to be sure that I got the info.
Thank You!
Dizey,
We are all pulling for your Dad.
Be sure to take care of yourself too during this very stressful time!
Take your stress vitamins (B & C) and be sure to get some sleep.
Margaret,
I add my Thanks to Himmiefan’s
You are the best for posting your email conversation with Denis McGrath about Blood Ties DVDs. It helps us to understand the business side of how our beloved show is made.
You ROCK lady!
More later Blog-kin! Off to work!

lwildstar,
I DID get your package. Thank You. Check your email messages.

Anzia: You need to place warnings on your writing. DO NOT READ AT WORK!!
LOL.

Whoops, I didn’t see your last sentence. Well done…… Reading it just makes me more…….. (P. S.: Don’t read early in the morning either). Seriously, it was great.
annalaiseduchat said
Morning All!
Dizey, Sorry about your father.
Tango said
Thanks Margaret for the great insight from Denis McGrath. It did give me a new perspective about what is going on. I hope we will be hearing something in the next couple of weeks that production has been given the green light to start filming again.
msgypsy said
LWildstar, what’s the ID to use for sending you money via Paypal? (You can email that to me if you prefer.)
I’ve been following Dennis McGrath’s blog, too, and I find his writing to be damn near compelling. I can’t wait to see some of the episodes he’s credited with writing; I’m betting he’s as good when his words hit the TV screen as he is when his words hit the monitor screen.
Well, off to earn money for Faraday’s kibble. (I can’t have a cat because I don’t like being subservient. Yet I still manage to be second to the dog in importance in the house…)
DebS said
Morning everyone!
Dizey1-Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he pulls through. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I go on vacation at the end of this week. I am going back up to Indiana to my parents house. I think I might actually catch up with all the posts around that time. 🙂 haha.
Tango said
Oh Z – are you kidding me?! I kept looking around the page looking for more. You’ve done a terrific job so far, but you’ve got me worked up… it’s like an alcoholic looking for more liquor – looking in all the cabinets, even the medicine cabinet for the cough medicine. You’re such a tease! Please finish part 2 soon, before I come unraveled.
DebS said
I love Denis McGrath’s blog. Ms.gypsy hit it right on, it is very compelling. And interesting. I have an addiction to tv and movies and find the whole art of making them quite interesting.
Tango said
lwildstar – I will be glad to share in the shipping expense too. Just send me a paypal invoice and I will pitch in. Msgypsy shouldn’t have to flip the bill on that by herself.
Msgypsy – LOL on the subserviant comment 🙂
Danielle said
Morning my friends.
lwildstar-I got my goodies yesterday. Just in time for my birthday. You planned it that way didn’t you. I love them all. They fit perfectly. I am wearing the rosary bracelet today. My mother beads and makes jewelry. She said you do very good work.
So my birthday kinda sucked. My sister was at my mom’s when I got there(the not so cool sister). She said she thought the 25th was today(Tuesday). Jason didn’t come over for cake. I think he is losing interest. My other sister was having more problems with the pregnancy but today everything seems fine but she couldn’t come over. My dad works second shift so he was at work. It was me, my mom, and Amber eating brownies and chocolate cake. Fun fun!
Beth-I am sorry to here your dad is still not doing well. I will keep you guys in my prayers.
Z-You better hurry and get more of that story up. You can’t leave me hanging long.
Blah said
Good Morning Blogkin,
Dizey I’ll pray for your dad.
msgypsy said
Off the topic completely but in line with my own favorite things, if you’re looking forward to the new Indiana Jones movie it’s started filming and there’s a brief (maybe a minute, maybe less) video of the first day shooting here. http://www.indianajones.com/community/news/firstday.html It requires Quicktime.
I don’t mind splitting the shipping but I think we’re starting to get into major bookkeeping issues for lwildstar. So I’ll leave it up to her to decide. (You know that once the show starts up again we’ll be sending things to the stars, too, so y’all might want to think in those terms, too. (Every once in a while I turn Texan for a few seconds.)
I forgot to tell you about my friend that I had dinner with on Saturday. Turns out she was so intrigued by me telling her how good BT is, she downloaded all the episodes and watched them late at night when all the kids were asleep. She’s in love with the show but says there is no time for her to blog, not with two kids, one of whom she’s home schooling, plus she has to take care of the house for her sister-in-law. She sais that after the first two episodes she Googled Kyle because he was so perfect for the role she wanted to find out his background. Then she found out his age and she says it was one of those “It feels so wrong but it feels so good” moments. LOL! (She also said that when she told her husband about it, he bet I was reacting to Kyle by wanting to make him dinner, check over his homework, and go over the ground rules for him borrowing the car to go to the mall. These people know me WAY too well!)
msgypsy said
Oh, Danielle, I’m so sorry you didn’t have a great birthday. I’m sending you virtual Faraday kissies if that’ll help. He does great kissies. Always makes my day better.
Danielle said
Oh I was able to watch What Girls Learn last night. I did not cry but I did get choked up. I though Kyle doing the NJ accent was terrible funny. It didn’t suit him though I think he did a pretty good job at it. He looked like such a baby in that movie.
Danielle said
Thanks I needed it Ms Gypsy. I would love when my doggie did it if her breath wasn’t so smelly. We have tried everything to give them fresh breath and it just doesn’t seem to work.
Claire said
Morning blogkin!!
I don’t know how many of you believe in the paranormal…but I had the weirdest most exhausting night.I was just falling asleep,when the noise of my printer made my eyes pop open,at the same time it felt like my cat had jumped on the bed…sort of like it feels if someone light sat on the bed…then it felt like my covers were moving…so I sat up…nothing,to make a long story short,I got no sleep cause my printer kept trying to print all night! There was no paper in the paper tray,and everytime I would close my eyes the thing would start making printing noise.I checked to see if the power button was on and it wasn’t.I wasn’t scared…just really annoyed.It didn’t stop until 6 a.m.!
I don’t know what to think…I do have an open mind…and I know there are more things in heaven and earth,than we know,but could it be some sort of crazy power surge thing,that only affects my printer.
Since I moved in my bedroom phone will at times…light up and say ringing…and theres no one calling.I’m so used to it,I actually joke to my kids…answer the phone…my ghost is calling!
Yeah so I hope I didn’t freak anyone out..but just wanted some input as to the reason I am a walking Zombie this morning on no sleep.
More coffee calls….see yas later
Danielle said
Claire-I definitely believe there are ghosts out there. How old is the house? After my grandfather died January 17th I found a picture of my mother high school that I had framed on a shelf in my kitchen moved to the corner table of the corner I have instead of kitchen chairs. I had been hoping for some sort of sign from him and the next morning I found the picture moved. The corner table is directly underneath the shelf and if it had fallen off the shelf it would have landed picture face down. It was set up like that is where I had put it. That definitely freaked me out.
My dad was visiting the house he grew up in a few years ago and he was looking in what was the kitchen I think. He felt my grandfather’s hand in his shoulder. This grandfather died when I was 10.
I definitely believe there are otherworldly things out there.
DebS said
Danielle- I am sorry that your birthday kinda sucked. That is just never fun.
Claire-HHmm…paranormal interesting. 🙂 I find that kind of stuff fascinating. Although, I doubt I would if it was waking me up all night.
Danielle said
DebS-How is the eHarmony thing going?
DebS said
Danielle-okay i guess. Most often I find I get as far as the emailing/phone conversation stage and then it doesn’t go anywhere. I can’t figure out if I am just not forward enough or what? I was talking to a really nice guy named Walter and then he just stopped emailing. So, I don’t know.
How is dating Jason going? or is it still going? I haven’t been able to catch up on posts as much as I would like, so you may have already mentioned it.
Danielle said
Claire-They could be poltergeists (sp). You have your very own Peeves from Harry Potter.
Danielle said
I asked Jason if he wanted to come over for birthday cake yesterday. He was kinda side stepping the invite. I think he is losing interest. That is the way it was for me on eHarmony.
annalaiseduchat said
Claire,
Check out this link. This is a woman who is local in my area that does truly amazing things. She sees and communicates with spirits and solves peoples problems with the earthbound ones. She is very convincing.

DebS said
Oh I hope he isn’t losing interest. He seemed like a great guy…and you are definitely a great gal!
Here is something funny..at least it was funny to me. I work at a women’s college and have so for almost a year now. So, I pretty much only interact with women…and I don’t really notice it that much at all.
Until…this weekend I visited downtown Greenville, SC for the first time. It is a really beautiful downtown and very hopping. So, I am walking around with my friend Amy and I just see young available men everywhere. I about had a heartache. I didn’t realize how much I miss being around guys! haha. We were walking behind some guys on our way to a coffeeshop, and I just stared at their backsides. I am not an ogler!!! I think I am just deprived..haha.
I totally sound weird now, dont’ i?
Danielle said
No you don’t seem weird. If you are walking behind guys and they have great looking behinds it is only natural to stare. It is almost we can’t help ourselves.
Anzia said
Claire- after my grandfather died my family and I started getting the flickering lights thing going on. It wouldn’t stop until we yelled at him to stop it. We’d also get our toilet flushing randomly. That was kind of freaky. But my sophomore year of HS my house burnt down. When we got our new house we had all kinds of problems. My brother (a year younger than I) walked out to the kitchen one night and said he say a dead body hanging from the ceiling. At another time he said he saw our grandfathers sitting on the couch talking. Our pastor at our church told my parents that they needed to stand in a window facing east and as the sun came up pray to God to help cleanse and protect the land our house was on (same land as the house that burnt btw). Even before the new house was on there though, a group of women (including my very religious and very open grandmother) went to the land and prayed. My grandmother freaked out because she said something wasn’t right in the land.
So I TOTALLY get what you’re saying. Maybe the soft presence on the bed was Emmanual coming to cure your longing but you woke up too soon. ^_^
Danielle said
I just found this link: http://www.quizilla.com/users/misfit/quizzes/Which%20Famous%20Vampire%20are%20You?/
It tells which famous vampire you are.
I was told I am Lestat. Impossible Lestat is male.
Danielle said
Ok my last post disappeared. It had a link in it. It must have been spammed. I will wait for it to be allowed.
Danielle said
Wait I will try it again and see if it works.
http://www.quizilla.com/users/misfit/quizzes/Which%20Famous%20Vampire%20are%20You?/
It is quiz to see which famous vampire you are. I was Lestat. Whatever! He’s a guy.
Danielle said
Z-That is seriously creepy. Seeing a dead body hanging from the ceiling. Wow! Can you say the Sixth Sense? I see dead people.
DIZEY1 said
Good morning my little blog familia’ 🙂 thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for Big Daddy. I’ll pass those along to him also.
**Z** 🙂 😉 my girl loved the story but… I like Henry am HUNGRY for more. It was great you underestimate yourself big time. MORE MORE MORE!!!
Claire you know** I ** do believe in all things otherworldly. You might want to get some sage smudge sticks and cleanse the house. I have a woman who used to be here a couple of blocks from where I work. She lost her place from Katrina and lives in Diamondhead, MS. now but I have her number. She’s really good and can maybe walk you through some things, just to make sure that there’s no bad spirits etc. Sounds crazy but, I told ya’ll I believe in this I live in N.O. where Marie Laveau was born and practiced Voodoo. Let me know if you want her name and number. I actually spoke w/her about a mnt ago for a reading. She did see some stuff that’s already happened. Maybe we can get T.A.P.S. to come over to your house, they’re cool guys and can also work on any plumbing issues while they’re there..heehee 🙂 😉
Anzia said
yeah, it freaked me out. I wouldn’t leave my room after dark for a while.
Anzia said
*hides behind protective shield* I am saying this as a warning KNOWING that it might not be recieved well but… I’m leaving at 4am and won’t be back for a week. It’s my “second vacation” with my aunt, uncle and two demon children (so sad that my lovely little Kev is now grouped with his brother *sigh*). You’ll get something when I get back (and type it up which proves harder than one might think since I tend to edit as I type– Ooops). I’m sorry guys! I would’ve had it done but with the job hunting & Kevin sick for 4 days… 😦
I guess I can post the dancing scene up there if ya’ll want it. That way you can take the edge off???
annalaiseduchat said
Anzia – Very weird.
I used to take a tai chi class with a woman who’s adopted daughter saw dead people. She would carry on full conversations with people who weren’t there and wake up screaming in the night and wouldn’t calm down until Beth said a prayer and asked the “visitor” to leave. They lived next to a cemetary and the young child loved to be taken for walkeds through it. She would greet all her friends. One Halloween though Beth took her out trick or treating and was going to cut through the cemetary on the way home and this little girl started screaming hysterically until they left it. Freaky Huh?
Himmiefan said
Hey Danielle. Sorry your birthday wasn’t the best. I think we’ve all been there at one time or another. Others will be better.
I hope that today is a much, much better day for you!
🙂
Anzia said
definitely!
Danielle said
I guess my birthday was just another day in the story of my life. No big deal. It isn’t the end of the world. All I know is somebody better through me a really huge party next year for my 30th just to make me feel better.
Danielle said
throw me a really huge party not through
DIZEY1 said
***Z*** Please before you go. Yes we’d love the dancing scene before you leave us again. I love these stories, if I can’t get my smut from CHUM then I’ll get it frommy girl *Z*. You rock little girl!!! 🙂 😉
elizabeth said
Good Morning everyone!
Danielle – I’m sorry your birthday didn’t turn out to be much fun. I’ve had many of those and I still always end up feeling disappointed.
Claire- very creepy stuff happening at your house. I absolutely believe there are things out there that we can’t see, but make there presence known on occasion. The occult fascinates me, but I know I would totally freakout if I actually had the kind of experiences you are having 🙂 Mostly I just have dreams that are disturbing in the extreme.
Dizey1-I will keep your Dad in my prayers. I know what it is to worry about a parent and have to help in their recovery. I know all will go well for him. Just remember to be kind to yourself as well – you deserve it.
loves history said
anzia my mother claimed ti see ghost many years ago a stange book vey old no had ever saw before turned up. that was it,i am going into the hospital so i wont be around bye now
elizabeth said
Anzie – OMG! I just read your scene. Now how am I going to concentrate at work?! I actually got chills, girl!
DIZEY1 said
My Dani girl, so sorry your day wasn’t what you’d hoped for. My answer is this sadly some people don’t look beyond themselves. If you want or expect something from them , tell them what you want. Let them know that you expect a party for your 30th b’day. You deserve it and if they don’t or won’t do it then I’d plan a party for myself!! Throw the biggest and best party and you won’t be dissappointed. Life is way too short to live with regret if we’ve learned anything from our beautiful sweet talkin’ Henry it’s that. Have fun and play more, it’s my motto now. BTW you’ll have a good present coming from me in the next week or so. WIll send as soon as I can. Luv ya!
elizabeth** I know you’re dealing w/the parent thingy too right now. I am learning to take better care of me. Not always easy to do, when you take on the caretaker roll. Thank ya’ll so much for the good thoughts. He’ll be ok I just can feel it , I’m just more concerned for my Mom that she doesn’t take better care of herself.
lwildstar said
yea! lunch time – its been so hard to keep off of here today -yes Rifkind, I’m trying to be a good girl – can’t jepordize the new position.
ok lets see if I can catch up on all the comments….1) paying for the postage for Tanya, – it looks like its going to be between $11 and $16 depending on which postal employee I talk to. The one this morning said I didn’t need the international envelope to send to Canada – but I did pick the customs slip. I can’t think of an easy way to split that up – it would be silly to PayPal everyone a invoice for a $1 or two. I’ll think on it and email Ms.Gypsy tonight or tomorrow.
2) Danielle – I’m so glad you got your goodies in time for your Birthday! Dont you just love those kind of surprises? tell your mom thank you for me!
3) Anzia that was great – don’t keep us hanging for part 2
if I missed anyone, sorry, but my lunch sucks and I need to run down to the market while I still have some lunch time left and get something to eat – thats what I get for trying something new.
We are under another thunderstorm alert (actually all week) so I may or may not be able to get back on tonight and check in.
DIZEY1 said
LH*** How long will you be in the hospital, and what are they going to do??
Hey can you give us an address OH and you’re real naem I’d like to send you something in the mail if you trust us that is??
Claire said
Hey Guys…
Danielle the house is only 30 years old…and we haven’t found any history of anything…although this part of Virginia is very rich in history and alot of people I know have seen things…especially those living close to the old battlefields…
I don’t think it’s a poltergeist…I don’t sense anything bad at all,just a sense of something trying to communicate.When we first moved in…my son Chris asked me if I ever saw things that looked like tiny lights. I did and do all the time,around the house.But I took to this house immediately as soon as I saw it,I told Chris…”I want this house”..I have always felt like my family belongs here…like the house welcomed us…does that make sense? or does it sound crazy?
There have been times when both Dogs have looked up growled at nothing.
But again,we are never afraid…I mean I walk through this house in total darkness.
Anzia..if only it had been Emmanuel…but no…my eyes were wide open and whatever was moving my covers.
Analaise…I bookmarked the site you sent me.
Dizey…and the rest of you..a little more info on myself..I think it’ just my family..somehow we attract certain energies..cause everywhere I’ve lived my entire life…something like this has gone on.
We all have the ability to see and hear certain things…we just don’t talk about it much cause generally people are very closed minded and think we are crazy.
I remember as a four year old in France…my uncle crying…he was desperate for sleep…and he was having something going on in his apartment.For whatever reason…maybe he knew something I didn’t yet,my father took me there and asked my uncle to leave me alone in the apartment,they waited just outside the door…I had no fear..just incredible sadness..I will never forget what I saw…a girl sitting on the window ledge just crying.She didn’t actually speak to me..more like telepathy? She had been used by a womanizer who she thought loved her…and he left her pregnant…she distraught..jumped out the window.My uncle never complained again and I vaguely remember going to other places with my Dad through out the years.
So Dizey I don’t know if cleansing would help..but ask your friend..I would like to know whats up with my family..can’t ask Dad he’s been dead since I was 22.
Elizabeth whatever it is…it’s not scaring anyone…I just need my damn sleep! LOL
Now don’t you all go thinking I’m I weirdo…cause I see dead people! LOL!!
Claire said
OKAY!! Holy S***T! My printer just went off again as I was posting that last comment…right next to me…cold chill went up my legs and the hairs on the back of my neck went up..um going downstairs…I put paper in the printer…and if anything starts to print…I don’t want to be n the room.People my age have heart attacks..
elizabeth said
Claire-I have known others who have the same kind of energy/ability that you seem to have. I have admired the grace with which many of them have handled their talent because it is truly just a part of what makes them who they are. Too bad you didn’t have paper in your printer – you might have had an interesting message 🙂
Anzia said
Margaret- ^_^ I’m glad you liked it. This is DEFINITELY a new way for me to write. I’d NEVER written anything like this until the dance scene. From the reaction I get I guess I’m not to bad.
Tango- Was it worth the wait? I promise to make the next REALLY steamy. Just for you dear. ^_^ Any specific requests? I’m sure I can work ’em in to what I already have.
Danielle- sorry honey. Unless some miracle happens I won’t get it up today and I leave in the morning. 😦 *hands an extra large box of chocolate chains and blow henry pops* I’ll even give you the code to get into my secret stash…(you too TANGO).
Dizey- ^_^ Okay. I’ll post it. You’ll be able to get to it from the second link I posted. (it’s my general portfolio on that site) I’ll post a direct link when I post it.
lwildstar- I’ll try I swear to you I will but I can’t promise anything.
elizabeth said
Okay, that was just weird. I posted my earlier comment and yours popped in about your printer.
Anzia said
Okay, here’s the link of the dance scene: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1282365
Or just click on the title here http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/user_id/storyndreams if the link above doesn’t work.
Danielle said
If I were you Claire and something started to actually print I would bolt from the house, no freakin kidding. Another thing about my apartment, I have a picture of my mother’s uncle hanging on the closet in the living room. Behind that picture I hid a picture of my mother’s cousin, his son. There names were Frank and Frankie. Roughly five or six years ago Frankie came out of his bedroom, he lived with his parents because he had Parkinson’s, with a gun in his hand and said I can’t live like this anymore. He went back into his room and Uncle Frank followed him into the room and they were struggling. Uncle Frank was trying to get the gun from Frankie. Uncle Frank got shot right through his eye and then Frankie shot himself point blank in the middle of the forehead. My cat is always staring at that one spot where the picture is. She seems very agitated especially when the lights are off at night when I am watching a movie. There must be something about either or both of the pictures.
annalaiseduchat said
Claire,
Email Maryanne she has different things she can recommend, ways of cleansing the house and stopping hauntings. I’ve heard her talk on the radio. Your situation is right up her alley. You need to be careful. some entities are benign, but some can sap your strength and make you ill.
Anzia said
Oh, I forgot ot mention that everyone who liked the story bit should thank Nina for putting up with me. I was so far gone writing that that I kept asking her questions about if Henry would really do this or that or if this could work. ^_^ Poor girl…
THANK YOU NINA
DIZEY1 said
Thank you Nina and Anzia, very good writing. Oh and the dance …..way too short. I was just starting to get into it and I’m like that’s it?? It’s cool little Henry Vicki fantasy. I LIKE IT AS NOR/HENRY SAYS, LET’S TRY IT AGAIN** 🙂 🙂 hee hee hee!!!
Claire they just may be trying to communicate with you. My grandmother on my dad’s side was born with what they called a veil. She’d tell my mom Dizey we haven’t heard from your mom and son of a gun a day or so and my maw maw Helen would call. Mom said stuff like that would happen all the time. I’ve had dreams that I think are their way of communicating w/me my maw maw and I had a great bond and I think especially in church she’s w/me. I feel her presence a lot. I had a visit yrs ago from my dad’s dad sweet memory. He’s been gone some 30 yrs. this year. I think my little pom Nikki visits me I’ll catch a glimpse of something small and black flit by and I miss her a lot, she’s hanging w/me. I like some of these things un known, just nothing bad or harmful.
Claire said
Ok…I said a quick prayer crossed my fingers and came back here,no sooner did I sit down at the computer the printer started up again…so I sucked in my breath and said”What do you want? There are better ways to go about telling me something than to scare the hell out of me and keep me awake,I have children I need to care for!”
Printer stopped.
Danielle…why do you think I didn’t have paper in the printer? I would have messed my pants if something actually printed! LOL!!
as for your cat…cats are especially spirit sensitive,but dogs react to it also.
Yes Analaise..I will if it continues…in NYC…that happened to Nikki…everyday she looked more pale,more drawn,she wouldn’t even come out of her room…she was not getting any sleep…male entity in her room.
I sucked in my breath and prayed for courage..went into her room and had a chat with him…told him,he needed to cross over…that it was beautiful and he would see his loved ones and not be sad anymore..took 2 hours.
That night all was quiet and she slowly got better.
I just wish I knew why my family has this (Gift?)
Anzia…I did read your story…I want more. ^_^ love you! LOL
lwildstar said
I have about 5 minutes left – I wanted to get in on the GHOST experiences – My cousin and I are both sensitive and shes the only one who understands me and doesn’t scoff at my “feelings”. Most of our vacations are to areas where there is “reported” activity. Just to see….I know gluttons for punishment. I’ve had many minor experiences, feelings, etc.. but I’ve had 6 “up in your face” experiences
1) the red eyes in the basement windows when i was a kid – mom tried to explain them away as an animale – but I’ve never seen animal eyes like that
2) waking up with a horrible pain in my neck the day one of my younger cousins died when a tree fell on him killing him instantly
3 & 4) both at Gettysburg – I got horribly dizzy at the Devils Den in the area where the dead soldier was posed for the photagrapher and then up on Big Round Top something hit me in the back just below my shoulder and for an instant I felt like I’d been shot – really freaked me out
5) the catacombs under Edinburagh – when the tour guide was talking about the “angry man” I looked at my cousin and said “you have no idea” when she asked me “what do mean?” I was like “what do I mean about what?” and she told me what I had just said – I didn’t remember saying anything to her and only know this because she told me…the rest of the tour I kept feeling like someone was following us, and was really annoyed with us being there
6) my cousing and I went to pay our respects at Ground Zero in New York – we took the subway as far as we could and walked the rest of the way – now i havd never been to NY before and had no idea how far or close we were but as we walked I got dizzy and couldnt breath, by the time we got to the site I was starting to feel sick – but I didn’t say anything to my cousin until we got up on the observation platformand I started crying uncontrolably – I was in such physical pain she had to help me walk away – i didn’t start feeling “better” until we were nearly three blocks away.
Makes you stop and think sometimes……my cousin told me once that she always thought that I “saw” things differntly then everyone else….guess she was right.
Ok Lunch is wellll over and I must return to work.
Danielle said
I know this is horrible but I have gone to NYC every year since 9-11 and have not been able to bring myself to go to Ground Zero. That day affected me very strongly. I didn’t know anybody that was there at the time but it didn’t just happen to them it happened to us all. I keep telling myself this year I will go and I just bring myself to even suggest it to the people I am with.
elizabeth said
I know what you mean, Danielle, I feel the same way about Ground Zero. I can’t think of that day, even now, without being swamped with sadness. I am not sure I would be able to visit the site either.
I guess the only time I have really felt the unseen was while I was in England visiting Warwick Castle. I went into the dungeon and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. I could hear the walls screaming and I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Even the purported haunted room didn’t scare me as badly as the dungeon did!
nina said
Hello Bloggers,
Just stopped by to see how Anzia’s story is doing 😀
Don’t thank me, I just love anything with Henry. It was a pleasure listening to it and don’t stop!!
I’m completly lost to what’s going on here. Maybe someone could give me an update??LOL. I’ll try to come back soon, but this is a really stressful time at school:(
Bye guys!!!!
Have fun.
annalaiseduchat said
I had a very strange and disturbing experience when I was in high school. My art class went on a field trip to a local landmark called the Kirtland Temple. This is the seat of the Mormon religion in our area and a beautiful structure. Supposedly when it was built all the people donated their china to make the mortar so the building actually sparkles in the sun.
When we went inside I had an extreme panic attack from the moment we walked in the door. I felt like I was going to fall, as if I was at a great height. I couldn’t get out of their fast enough and I’ve never gone back.
I feel as if maybe either someone fell from a hreat height during the construction of the building or maybe it was me in a previous life.
Danielle said
I am afraid of what I will see, hear, experience when I go there. I have felt things in other places. When my parents were cleaning out the house that the shootings took place in I went with them to keep an eye on the foster kids but I would not go in the house. I stayed in the car. I got a tightness, breathless feeling in my chest. It was almost painful. It could just be because of my anxiety disorder.
DebS said
Z, can you repost the links to your story. I haven’t had a chance to read over previous posts, but I would love to save the links and read the story while I am on vacation. 🙂
DIZEY1 said
I’LL BE BACK** GOING TO LUNCH, BE GOOD AND DON’T DO ANYTHING I WOULDN’T DO 🙂 ( IT DOESN’T LEAVE YOU MUCH ) 🙂 😉
Himmiefan said
Claire, have you unplugged the printer?
Danielle said
I am really getting worried. It has been over an hour since someone said something. Everybody must be really busy.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Dani 🙂 just getting back from lunch. Did you think with all that boogie man, voodoo talk we might have disappeared?? BTW I watched Deadly Departed while at lunch. All that talk about ghost’s I had to have one at lunch. Of course I get my Henry & DO ME SINEAD scene to get through the day. Now I need some chocolate after all that McLusty, do meeeeee Henry stuff.
What are you doing?? I’m thinking about Henry how about you?? 🙂 😉
Danielle said
The IT guy was at my desk fixing my email and he saw my foot rubbing scene on my desktop and he asked who that was and I simply said vampire. Then I pointed to all the pics pinned up in my cubicle and I told him from our show and he said he heard of it but he didn’t know it was on Lifetime and that he would probably watch it if he had a chance. My mind is all over Henry right now.
I think everybody got scared away with our ghosty talk.
elizabeth said
You know, I have decided I am a real idiot – no…I’m more moronic than that! I read Anzia’s work, which actually gave me chills and got me to thinking (dangerous) and at lunch I was reading a book that has this incredible, and I do mean incredible, seduction scene. Now, I’m sitting here thinking about Henry and I am all hot and bothered AND I HAVE A MEETING TO GO TO!!! The sound you are hearing is me beating my head against my desk!
Danielle said
Sounds like Elizabeth needs some quality alone time in the ladies room.
DebS said
Ghostly talk is fun! At least interesting. I just got busy doing budget stuff for awhile….annoying budgety stuff.
Danielle said
I love talking ghosty.
elizabeth said
I think I have just been single too long. Forget the alone time in the bathroom – I need..okay, I’m sure you get the picture 😉
Danielle said
I went to this one place in Stowe VT that is haunted. It is the White House Inn. It was very cool on the top of this hill overlooking everything during the fall so it was kind of windy and the leaves were blowing. Nothing ghostly happened but it was still cool.
I have also passed by this lighthouse at the middle of the mouth of the Thames River from Long Island Sound by boat a couple times. That is supposedly haunted also.
Danielle said
I don’t know what you need……I am a virgin, unfortunately. I am kidding I do know what you are talking about.
DIZEY1 said
When ya’ll come down here to N.O. I’ll take you on the Haunted tour in the French Quarter (plenty history) by horse drawn carriage. OOh and we’ll go to some Plantations some are very haunted. The Myrtles, Houma House, Oak Alley , go online and I’m sure you can find some good scoop on some of the plantations down here. When you go to Oak Alley breathtaking check out this site*** http://www.oakalleyplantation.com
I’d love to have ya’ll come and check out some spooky sites.
elizabeth said
I think I should just concentrate on the budget stuff sitting on my desk. I am sure reconciling expenses will bore me spitless in no time at all and set my mind in the right place for my next meeting.

Dizey1 I have always wanted to visit New Orleans. I lived in Tennessee for years, but never made it to Louisiana. I often regret that I never made it down there before Katrina, but like much of the South, I am sure N.O. will rise up and be great again.
Claire said
Nope..not scared just freakin tired as hell…
I just had to get tough on my friend again!
told it to quit playing with my printer!!!
Himmiefan..I unplugged it this morning..thinking ok its was some kind of power surge…but no…it’s still playing.
The only other experience with electronics gone wild was when I was married to Nikkis Dad back in my twenties…my VCR, would turn on and off constantly,then one day the answering machine started going off without the phone ringing,until one day the answering machine went off and there was all this static…then something said my name…the entire family heard this..it was pretty scratchy but it sounded like…maman and dad…its us..tell you.We didn’t wait for the rest we all ran out of the house crying!
Next day Monique comes running home from school….crying that a crazy woman had tried to snatch her on the way home.So,could it have really been my parents warnng me about Monique? who knows?
Monique thinks its Brittanys Mom..trying to tell me something.
I just hope I get some sleep tonight cause I am exhausted.
But on a side note..another coincidence…that most of us have had some sort of otherworldly experience? HMMMMM.
I went to Ground Zero..right after it happened…Monique survived it…but alot of her co workers didn’t along with one of her best friends,and her other bestfriends father who was one of the first firefighters to go in.So I wanted to go and pay my respects to people that I loved..but the minute that Chris and I got in front of it…unbearable sadness…the feeling of not being able to breathe…Chris and I both left in tears.Never went back…that place is beyond haunted.
well I’m off to read part deux of Anzias lovely story.

Beth-I so totally want to visit. I have three weeks this year that I can take off. I wonder if I can get together enough money, plane tickets, hotel, food, ugh. That plantation looks amazing. A horse drawn haunted tour. Yikes!
Danielle said
I am out for the day. Talk to you tomorrow.
Claire said
I would love to go also Beth…but being as sensitive as I am…God knows what I would bring back….Double Yikes!!!!

“Himmiefan..I unplugged it this morning..thinking ok its was some kind of power surge…but no…it’s still playing.”
That’s freaky!
Okay, here’s what you do: box up the printer and put it out in the trash. Hand copy everything you would have copied. If that fails, move.

Margaret said
Claire: Henry said to tell you not to sleep with the windows open.
Claire said
No Himmiefan…I love this house, as do we all! No way I’m leaving.I don’t think it wants me to leave,it just wants my attention and being a brat about it.
I was talking to my friend Danielle..she’s thirty and I watch her 4 mth old Josh..she works part time.I asked her”Do you believe in Ghosts?” she goes,
“Oh for sure,I had one when I lived in this town” she’s one town over.She tells me she had some old lady from the 1800’s in her house,she saids almost everyone in this town and all the surrounding towns have ghosts…because of the two major civil war battles fought near here,in Manassas.All of Moniques friends who grew up here are all very used to chills,apparitions and so on.
Himmiefan said
Hi Claire. I hope I didn’t sound too glib. I get that way with things I don’t understand. I do think there are vibes in the air, like your sadness at Ground Zero. Now, I haven’t had my own ghost experience, but then again, I once took steps to prevent one. Right before I went to England, I saw a show on the ghosts of Hampton Court (a palace Henry VIII basically stole). I really don’t want to encounter a ghost (I’m a true blue coward), so I just had a talk with God and said that the only spirit allowed near me was the Holy Spirit. I didn’t want to see, hear, feel, anything else. As it turned out, we had a great time, and Hampton Court is a beautiful place.
Now, I said I have not had a ghost experience. Maybe I haven’t, but then again, maybe I have. Right after my old cat died, I found doors and bags open the way she would open them. A few months later, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure. I turned and looked straight at it. It was about a foot and a half long, gray yet translucent, not quite a foot off the ground, and moving very quickly. My current cat even saw it. My whole family has experienced something like this.
Himmiefan said
Oops. I forgot to add that the figure disappeared into thin air. My family calls this Ghost Cat. Ghost Cat is more than welcome in our house.
Claire said
No it’s ok Himmiefan,you didn’t sound glib,and my family has also had experience with a ghost cat,I had a beautiful very loving all black cat named Simba,when I first married the quads father,he died under Nikkis bed,curled up next to Smokie,he was only one..we later found out it was a heart defect,but anyway for a couple of weeks my entire family had some kind of sighting or heard meowing.I looked up one day from mopping floor to see a see through cat sort of sitting on the step.Something Simba always did.I also saw Smokie lying on the sofa..so I knew it wasn’t him.And Smokie would run and play and pounce,with something we couldn’t see..
Margaret…Why? is he paying me a visit? cause if he is…then the door will be open also…LOL!!!!!
Himmiefan said
I love hearing stories about ghost pets! I think ghost pets are very comforting. I know if helped me because loosing Scarlett was very tramatic. I was 13 when we got her and 32 when she died.
Claire said
Yeah…I don’t know what we are going to do when it’s Smokies time..I can’t imagine…he will be 12 July 15th and I’ve had him since he was 5 weeks old..he still sleeps curled up next to me.
Himmiefan said
I know what you mean. Matilda isn’t allowed to die. Period.
elizabeth said
Dizey1, thanks for the links – just when I t hought my blood pressure was going to return to normal *grin* You’re right paperwork didn’t help; I just need to stay focused in my meeting and not let my mind wander down interesting paths;) Wish me luck!
lwildstar said
I snuck out of work early. But now its going to storm – again – we’ve got actual rain tonight….so I’m going to log off and not risk it.
Claire – I think like the saying “power calls to power” that similar people are drawn to each other – and face it, if you go back and read the old posts – we all have alot of experiences in common – so either it is the “demographic” of our group – or the TPTB have decided we need each other….
I like to think we’ve been brought together
I emailed my cousin that we were discussing Ghostly experiences and she brought up one I had forgotten…..when we went to Philly two years a ago I kept getting a creepy feeling everytime we walked by this one building thats a rebuild of a tavern that burned down (we had stayed in the historic distric)..two nights later when we went on the huanted tour we found out that a woman had burned to death in that tavern – if I hadn’t had the feeling days before I would have called i the power of suggestion, but since neither of us know – I just call it creepy. Oddly enough that was really the only experience we had in the historic distric despite its history…
Margaret – emailed you – my goof! I didn’t give you an alternate address!
if the storms not too bad later I may try to pick up the writting – I hate staying in the basment too long – I really hope my sister makes good on the offer to rehab one of her laptops so I can type upstairs – she said that thats all it will be good for – if she does it.
Ok my lovelies I’m off for – I’ll check back in the morning!
Rifkind said
Claire,
You could try automatic writing to see what the spirit wants to communicate. That might stop the nighttime events.
When you go to bed, tell the spirit that you need to sleep.
Tell them to TALK to you in your dreams if they need to, but that you need to rest.
Then mentally surround yourself with a cocoon of white light. The light of God and love. Nothing evil can enter this safe sanctuary.
Then imagine Simba as your spirit guardian, and that he will chase away any bad spirits, then come and curl up next to you and keep you safe.
DIZEY1 said
Claire, all my animals live to be pretty old. My cat Pickles when I finally had to put her to sleep, was 23 yrs. old and she was only 3 yrs. younger than my youngest bro. Robbie. It was like losing a sibling. Every now and again I think she hangs around here. It is very comforting that I guess they felt so comfortable with us on this plain. If you come here I won’t take you to all the haunted boogie man voodoo places. You’ll be safe with me, I’ve got Henry, and Louie’, and Lestat to protect us.
Claire said
Iwildstar…Yeah I like to believe we were all brought together!
Rifkind…I did do all that! I have a saying..and I know my Mom was Jewish..but I belive in Jesus (he was Jewish) so I usually say”I surround my self with the light of the holy spirit and I invision a cocoon of beautiful white light.I did tell it that unlike it,I was human and needed sleep,and I did ask it to speak to me in my dreams
Dizey…you bad girl..you got all the right men…errrr…vampires! LOL!
Seriously speaking…I have always wanted to go to N.O.
dreamt I lived there in a past life..I was mulatto..and Monique was there..she was my daughter a baby with the same weird blue eyes but dark skin!
I really hope I can come up with the money to go.
on that note…my meatloaf in the oven is calling…I know I’m crazy..88 degrees and I got the oven on! but my A/C has my house at 62 LOL!!!!
be back later
Margaret said
Claire: We all know that Henry came come in no matter what, closed windows, closed doors, etc. I was referencing your ghost and the line he gave Celluci when he asked him if he slept with his windows open. Guess I shouldn’t have made the reference so obscure. lol.

I added a few comments over on LifeTime..a s Blood Ties is rated #3 ..
Danged if Army Wifes wasn’t #1..
😦
We want MORE Blood Ties!
Rifkind said
OK so tell me how something HOKEY isn’t going on at Lifetime..
Army Wives has ONLY 1482 posts, but is listed at #1…
Blood Ties Has 1714 and is listed at #3..
Looks strange to me!
Madonna said
Hi everyone!
LH,
if you see this, good luck, my prayers are with you.
Danielle,
Sorry your birthday was so awful.
lwildstar,
I tried both of those links. Again the one for the jewelry works, but not the one for Tanya’s card? I doubt it is a problem with your site though, I often have problems accessing certain sites.
As to the whole ghost issue. I definitely believe there are things out there beyond our realm. My mother has had several interesting experiences, mine have been pretty minor.
1.) When we had a pool table you could sometimes hear the pool balls clink together even when no one was even on that floor.
2.) When I was a little girl, we lived in a 3 story house. Our main living area was on the 2nd floor. 3 huge staircases. One night my sister who is 10 years older was babysitting my two cousins and me. All 4 of us distinctly heard footsteps climbing the stairs. We were the only ones it the house. The youngest who was only 4 at the time still remembers it.
My dad used to give one of our dogs a crumpled up cigarette pack to fetch. I know, great toy huh? One day while my parents were at home by themselves, they were both standing on chairs try to hang curtains evenly. My mother says that all of a sudden a cigarette pack flew hard into the wall next to her head. Our dog went over to smell of it, then ran away like he was scared.
I have always had this thing with my dreams. I can have a perfectly ordinary dream that I’ll clearly remember and then days, months or years down the road the scene that played out in my dream will happen to me in real life. I get this disoriented feeling like the past and the present connect. Deja vu feeling I guess. I will know every single detail about what is going to happen to me and around me in the moments ahead. It has never been with anything major though, usually just a conversation with someone or something stupid like that. It’s happened to me probably 12 – 15 times now. Now I guess I just need to dream about meeting some of the stars from Blood Ties right? LOL…
lwildstar said
Madonna – I’ll add your greeting to the card, is there anything special you want to say? I guess you can post it here – I didn’t get an email from you at either address…as for the website – it looks like sometimes you can view it but I can no longer make changes to it!
Last call! I’ve only got 6 greetings for the card, NightWalker0001@aol.com
I’m starting on the Verizon one, but until I can figure out why my home computer won’t run the program I’m building it a work during lunch – that being the case the new site will only be whatever new stuff I make – I’m not redoing the whole site again! hoping to have something up next week showing the new rosary bracelets and the book marks.
You guys will laugh but I have to tell you – after I logged of earlier I ate dinner and settled in to watch the anime I taped last ight, and suddenly remembered I had a homeowners meeting to go to ! I had to get dressed and bust out of here – just got home a few minutes ago! twit!
Just my opinion but I think the reason Army Wives is currently “up” right now in position on the board is because of this whole “forbidden Kiss” thing. I think the board moves when a lot of posting gets done all at once and they are not basing it on the over all number of postings.
well my night is shot now – too tired to write….besides in my mind I’m chapters ahead of what I’ve acctually written! At least the main charactors have finally met.
Oh well I’m going to go read – see what predicament Tony is in 🙂
night all!
Madonna said
lwildstar,
That’s wierd. But like I said, I often have problems with other sites. I kept getting kicked out of the chat room on Sunday night. It’s kind of strange since I have AOL too. Oh well, I’m sorry about that. Could you please just put on the card… Tanya, Thank you for inventing the characters we love. May they live long and prosper! – Madonna
Thank you.
Madonna said
lwildstar,
I also think you are right about the rankings over on Lifetime’s site.
DIZEY1 said
Hey ya’ll stopping in to see wassup?? 🙂 Gonna crawl in bed and TRY to watch “Z” fell asleep on Henry, no Kyle, no Max last night. All those guys it’s hard to keep track ya’ know ! Anyway , Iwildstar will send you a message in a few. Can’t do anything fancy so I’ll just jot down something.
Madam Claire……hmmm (clearing throat) “Bonne nuit”, “Fait de beaux reves” sorry about the accent. Pardonnez-moi l’francais. LUV YA 🙂 😉
Rifkind said
Madonna,
My Hubby has the same thing happen to him with Deja Vu moments that he dreamt.
He feels that they are cornerstone moments, that there are big changes coming in his life when these moment happen. The actual event that he dreams may not be at all related to his personal life changes, but are there as a psychic flag to say…yup, life is going as planned, and something big is about to change/happen.
His deja vu moments are very detailed and he can actually know what the other person is going to say!
Anzia said
Hey guys! Have a great week. I’m sorry but i’m not going to have the thing done. I’m running around the a headless chicken trying to get everything done! I’ll talk to ya’ll in a week unless I get internet during the trip. We’ll see…
LOVS!!!
AlisaSG said
hmmmm, experience with apparitions..
anyone who has ever had direct contact with tarot cards, ouiji boards, dowsing items, etc., will have visits from the spirit world -those are usually their open doors to you. Some are mischievious, others are downright nasty. The *friendly* ones can turn nasty, however. They prey on your pyschic mind.
let me just say I am in enough constant communication with the spirit world, that them and me have an understanding about each other..
a year or so ago, when my hubby was on an emergency night call, in the early morning, I felt an impression on the bed, that moved the bed enough that I felt it about 2 feet away (we’ve got those mattresses that don’t disturb the other person). I didn’t open my eyes, because I thought it was my husband, until I realized he still had a few hours left at work. Maybe about 10 minutes later, I opened my eyes, and nothing was there. I went to check the entire house – no one but me and mom’s urn, with all the doors and windows locked tight. Had it been a spirit, I scolded it (in Jesus’ Name!).
When I told my husband about it, he did a purging prayer, and ordered the *spirit* to depart. Only (Jesus’) angels are allowed in. Well, now and then the impish spirits try to gain a foothold again.
won’t bore anyone with more details about that for now..
AlisaSG said
from Claire,
>> no sooner did I sit down at the computer the printer started up again…so I sucked in my breath and said”What do you want? There are better ways to go about telling me something than to scare the hell out of me and keep me awake,I have children I need to care for!”
>> Printer stopped.
..
..
okay, that’s kind of freaky, or a huge coincidence of timing. Still, something greater is tormenting (playing games) with your mind.
———-
more from Claire,
>> Himmiefan..I unplugged it this morning..thinking ok its was some kind of power surge…but no…it’s still playing.
..
..
well, if it’s still playing and the power is either unplugged or turned completely OFF, then you’ve definitely got a bigger problem (spirits taunting your mind).
———-
the other possibility is if the printer is plugged in, power on, internet connected all night – it could be a hacker taking control of your computer.
If the computer is not connected to the internet and the printer is still making noises, it’s possible there is a device in the computer scanning for the printer. When it finds it, it does things.. creepy, when it happens too.
We had a printer that was constantly going off at weird moments -all night- didn’t matter what I did. Finally, I shut the printer’s POWER off, so it OFF-OFF. That worked.
However, now we have (Microsoft) Vista (ha, ha!). Vista thinks it’s humanoid and waiting for commands, etc. It tries to think for you, too. If I power OFF the printer while the computer is on and ALIVE, Vista gets cranky with some phantom syndrome, and thinks it lost a leg or something. So, it pops up a DELL support message to send an error report.. every time so far, this has happened.
Now, I shut the printer OFF before I turn the entire computer system on. Vista still gets cranky, but only when the anti-virus program starts acting up automatically…
I hate to say we’ve grown to the point of ignoring these issues, but we used to scan during hacking attacks.. gave up scanning.. most of the attacks were from the other side of the planet (Asia, various places in the Middle East, sometimes Russia). makes yah wonder if the guys over there who want Americans dead were culling info (or stealing ID info) by using their *bot* (robot) programs, or live hacker people were doing it.
Fax/Answering machine used to give us similar problems – most of those were unsolicited faxes from anywhere on the planet. We finally disconnected the Fax so it is no more..
the problem with the *bot* programs is that there are so many hacker programs on the loose out there, that the anti-virus programs are updating sometimes several times a day. Sometimes, whatever is in those programs is what causes the printers and (image photo) scanners to kick on and start processing without anything else (meaning you) prompting it to do anything other than just sit there and look *pritty*..
AlisaSG said
Rifkind,
>> AlisaSG,
>> Thanks for the extended info on how to find the episodes on LT.
Even risking the double post monster to be sure that I got the info.
Thank You!
..
..
ah, you’re welcome. 🙂
———-
Tango,
>> Alisa, by all means stay and mingle, just realize that if you don’t see that Gypsy or I have posted in awhile it’s probably safe to say we haven’t had a chance to check to see what’s gotten caught up. I always enjoy your comments and hope you’ll to hang around more.
..
..
thank you for the encouragement!
actually, it’d take an awful lot to pull me away to stay away from here.
REAL life likes to drag me away kicking and knashing teeth, hanging onto the keyboard and mouse
(noooooooo! I’m not letting go!!!!!!)
If I’m ever away from here, or not posting (and trying to read to catch up on the latest info), it’s probably because I’m off visiting my other favorite forums and their topics; or because I’ve either got grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, dishes, or cleaning to do, on this side of reality.
bummer.. but it’s gotta get done. Otherwise, I’ve given in to sleep and actually shut everything off to find my pillow and hypo-allergenic comforter (yes, even in the hot summer – I love that snuggly blanket! mmmmmm).
😀
Himmiefan said
Anzia,
I just read your food scene, and all I can say is “Wow.”
Very, very nice.
Himmiefan said
Hey Anzia, again. You’ve gotten me all inspired. I’ve created a free Writing.com account. My goal in the next couple of years is to quit my job and write full-time. Oh yeah, and hopefully do the marriage and screaming baby thing too.
Are there any benefits to getting one of the other memberships, or should I just stick with the free membership?
I was very tempted to use Goddess Divine as my pen-name, but stopped because I don’t think most people would recognize the Pride and Prejudice (Matthew MacFadyn!!!!) reference. Oh well, I can remember Himmiefan better anyway.
What am I still doing up??? I do have to do that work thing tomorrow. Someone’s got to earn money for cat and bunny food….
Rifkind said
Morning Blogkin!
AlisaSG,
man you were busy last night!
Claire,
I agree with AlisaSG, that someone may be messing with your computer.
My hubby is so paranoid about hackers on our machine.. and we have antivirus and Zone Alarm etc to protect our machine… and we are still on dial-up… so we are NOT online ALL the time..
I forget that some folks may be VERY vulnerable to hacking attacks. SO get yourself up-to-date with all your antivirus stuff.. and turn the computer OFF for the night so that you can get some sleep!
Annalaise duChat said
Very, very nice Anzia! You do good work.
Girls, what’s up thi is the first time I’ve logged on after an entire evening and it’s only taken me a few minutes to read back through the posts.
We can do better than this!
lwildstar said
AlisaSG – you’re right about the Tarot cards – I throw them at least once a week – but never the oiji – thats just asking for troubel – but I had experiences with “things” long before i attempted the tarot – they just stronger after…..
My last waking dream was strange but shows you where my mind is – I hired Henry and Vicki to rescue Paul from an evil Deamon! Won’t go into details – some of which are becoming fuzzy anyway – but in the end Henry took Paul to the side and Vamped him so he wouldn’t remember anything while I discussed with Vicki what an idiot she was being towards Henry…that turned into a shouting match which Henry had to break up. He smiled and told me to go take care of Paul so as I walked a away to where Paul was sitting on a bench – I shouted backat Henry “You better not have bitten him!” and then the alarm went off……
well must get to work now…I’ll check in a t lunch!
Danielle said
Good Morning!
Himmiefan-I get the Goddess Divine pen-name. I loved Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen. I like reading Jane Austen.
All the talk of ghosty’s yesterday, in bed last night I kept hearing funny noises all night last night.
Danielle said
Did I scare everybody away again?
Margaret said
Has anyone heard from LH. Wonder how he’s doing?
At the risk of being really sappy I have to say I love this place and the rest of you. Its so nice to be able to come to a haven where you can discuss your addictions without someone thinking you’re crazy or rolling their eyes. The people on the “outside” just don’t understand, do they? lol
annalaiseduchat said
Are we still talking about ghosts today? My daughter reminded me last night of a really freaky incident. Last year my neighbor from across the street (Faye) passed away. Living next to her is my daughter’s friend’s (Katie) family. Katie’s mom Jackie went to the funeral. Jackie told me she watched Faye standing by the entrance to the church smiling and waving and saying good bye to everyone as they left. She also told me she frequently sees paramormal things and that her daughter Katie has inherited this talent. There was a girl that attended their Junior high that had committed suicide and one day Katie saw her apparition getting a drink from the fountain.
Katie also claims that she has seen the ghost of my cat that passed away in our family room.
Danielle said
Oh Margaret I so agree with you. This place and all of you are awesome. You are all non-judgemental and I can disagree with something and not have everybody jump down my throat in anger.
Danielle said
As for LH He said yesterday that he was going into the hospital and he wouldn’t be around for awhile. My guess is he will be there for a few days. I hope everything is alright.
Danielle said
Wow! It is really dead today. Henry must be around.
Margaret said
As far as the spirit world goes: Years ago my mom, my brother & I went to visit my grandmother in Kentucky who had cancer. I believe it was the second night that we were there I had an overwhelming sense of sadness and started crying like crazy. The next day we discovered my father had died of a heartache. I was 13 at the time.
Yes, Scully & Mulder-the truth is out there…..and if not there are plenty of spirits trying to lead you somewhere.
DIZEY1 said
Good morning my BLOG SIBLINGS 🙂 Over slept today and didn’t get to the gym. Next 3 days must go!!! 4:30 in the am is just so darned early. But afterward I do feel great. A lot to be said for endorphins, which I could bottle it. Dani sorry the things that go bump in the night kept you up. I hope LH is ok and it’s just some tests etc. Hey Iwildstar you have LH’s address & real name. Not that I’m asking for any privat info , but maybe I can send a card to you w/postage of course and you could forward it to him. YEAH ME!! I think he’d trip out if we all sent him some get well cards, what do ya’ll think??
Margaret said
Whoops-should have been a heart ATTACK.
Margaret said
I’d like to send him one, how will we go about doing it?
Danielle said
It might put LH in better spirits.
Margaret-I was wondering about that. I thought maybe his heart was aching because you, your brother and mother weren’t with him.
Danielle said
Beth-The funny thing is I heard the noises over my air conditioner in my bedroom.
Margaret said
Well you know how it is when you haven’t drank enough coffee, you can’t think or type straight. lol.
Danielle said
I am so glad I can function without coffee. I am not a morning person but I do ok without coffee. I don’t like it too much. I like light and sweet iced coffee or Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolata’s
DIZEY1 said
Dani girl dead here because Henry’s w/me 🙂 😉 😉 Sorry about all my typo’s.
Madam Claire….Bonjour’, comment allez-vous?? As-tu bien dormi?? Hopefully MR.Xerox left you to your slumber last night.
Danielle said
I guess it is hard for you type correctly when Henry is doing what you’ve dreamed of for the past few months.
DIZEY1 said
Margaret, bonjour , I think if we ask nicely Iwildstar may send them to him for us since she has all his info from said gift for his bride. We’ll have to see what she says.
elizabeth said
Good Morning everyone! It appears that most of you have had some very interesting paranormal experiences. I wish I could add to the flow, but I rarely have these kind of experiences. I have visited psychic’s before because I am very curious and have had some fascinating readings, but I am too..what is the word…strong minded…willful..stubborn ..scared…to let myself go enough to embrace too much of the paranormal. I had a reading once that told me I had a veil across my mind and I needed to walk through it. Maybe someday 🙂
DIZEY1 said
OUI’ Danielle, as you can see he’s been giving me French lessons and is keeping me abreast of all the current trends should I say. OOLALA, I told Henri’ “Ton baiser m’a coupe’ le souffle” , oui Monsieur 🙂 🙂
I’m practicing all my good l’francais taugth to me by Henri’, passed on to him from M’adame Claire. Merci Claire 🙂 😉
Danielle said
Are you cooking him a souffle? You better hope it doesn’t fall. Nobody likes a flat souffle. 😛
DIZEY1 said
No you must have M’adame Claire translate for you. I hope I didn’t say anything naughty..(hee hee hee) Bad gutter girl that I am. 🙂
BTW how’d you get your little smiley face to have a rouge bouche’??
Danielle said
: P is the way to get a tongue
I was teasing about the souffle thing. It is my facetiousness coming out again.

Yippee!
I figured out why I was having problems loading the pictures yesturday – apperently you can’t have spaces in the file name – go figure – still can’t load them from home but I can from work.
http://www.geocities.com/lwildstar@verizon.net/moon.html?1182961906600
I just posted the Pictures of Henry Michael Victor Fangs and the rosary bracelets…please if you go to look let me know if the above link works – you may have to type it in….also discovered today that everytime I make cahnges the link address changes so I will repost the link whenever i make updates…its annoying but have what are you going to do when its a free site?
I put a link on there to the “old” site so you can still view whats there!
i’m not going to work on it any more today so you should be safe to use the above – thanks for helping me trouble shoot and I appreciate all the support!!
Danielle said
I hope things get better for you. At least you are still able to get up in the morning and have people who love you.
Danielle said
Oh my gosh-HMV Fangs is too cute. I love the Celtic cross on there. Yep it worked.
elizabeth said
lwildstar- believe it or not I can actually open your site and see your new designs! Very cool!
Himmiefan said
Lwildstar – I forgot to tell you that I love the idea of HMV Fangs as our mascot! He’s adorable.
Your website looks pretty cool. Neat stuff.
lwildstar said
This is killing me – not being able to get on til lunch – I feel sooooooooo left out and lonely! lunch is almost over and I haven’t caught up on the posts!!!
I agree with Margaret, Rifkind, Danielle, every body – we are a family! its good to know we have such a support group – not just for out Blood Ties addiction (theres only one person at work I can even mention it too – and she still rolls her eyes) – but for all the other crap we have to deal with! Personally this is the first time I have ever joined one of these blog groups or anything like it – its just you guys are so damn lovable 😉 and I really really really enjoy this and appreciate all the support – on the jewelry front and on the relationship front – thatn k you for your emails – I feel like I have extra Moms!!!
Re: Get Well Feel Better cards for LH – no problemo – send them to me!
Email me at the LognWldstr@aol.com if you need my address, those of you who ordered jewelry from me may still have it – I’ll collect them and pop them all in the mail togther – say by next Saturday? That gives you a week to get them out to me. I think it would pick his spirits up to get a packet of well wishes.
Hey Margaret – do you mind if I use some of the $ overage you sent me towards the postage for this?
Dizey – you must share Henry now! allow him to spread his joy!!!!
side note: i showed the above mentioned co-worker “the” picture…she knew immediatly what Kyles hand sign was! I asked her how she knew…long story short – apperently the quarterback of her high school FB team was named J. Shock aka the “shocker” and he had tee shirts printed with that hand sign on it with the words “THE SHOCKER” on the back for spirit week….it was a big joke for everyone in the know – especially when teachers wee wearing them – the guy got suspened for two weeks once TPTB discovered the true meaning!
Ok I only have a few minutes left to go check my emails and then back to the salt mines – I’ll try to check in to night, but I promised myself at least 1 hour of writing!
lwildstar said
yea! I see you got to the site! Yippeeeeee….I didn’t get to post this on the site yet and since the link will change if I do, I’m not doing it today…..if anyone would like to adopt some of HMV Fangs’ brothers (yet to be named) please let me know. My friend went berserk making them to give out instead of candy for Halloween last year – and no kids showed up! I think she has like 12 of them – adoption fee is $2.50 each for the postage!
ok now I must go check my emails and get back to work!
Thank you !!!!!
Claire said
Good Afternoon family!!!
Slept like a baby…and had not beautiful but ok dreams Ms.Beth!
Ummm…Your kiss has me cut’ the breath”, yes Mister….what???
Dizey… apparently Mr.Henry needs to give you more lessons! LOL!! I know you won’t mind staying late after school! 😉
No hackers here..just Ghosts..My computer has been off all week at night and we have a very strong security system…firewalled etc.Everything is encrypted.These big houses in my area are all on wireless,so we have to be very protected.Besides I’m not the only one having visits..Chris is too.
I don’t mess with Ouija boards,I lay tarot cards every now and then…but the ghost thing has been with me since I was a child…myself and all my children see..
I had a nice chat with “it” last night…”it understood I need to sleep..I actually had a very good sleep…merci infiniment de votre fantôme de Monsieur de bonté
elizabeth said
lwildstar – count me infor adopting one of HMV Fangs siblings – they are adorable! I also agree with you comments on this blog family. It truly is wonderful to be able to communicate with all the delightful people on this site. I get to laugh, drool over pictures and comments and generally be myself in a safe environment. All of you guys are absolutely the best and I don’t say that lightly!
Claire – glad you got some rest. I don’t mes siwth the Ouija board either, but do like tarot cards. I also like to use the pendulum for answers.
lwildstar said
Elizabeth – email me – I’ll check in with you later!
Danielle said
I am such a fool. I read some more of that fanfic. When am I going to learn to not read it at work. *slaps myself*
Rifkind said
Claire,
I’m glad that your visitor let you get some rest last night.
I am also glad to hear that your computer system is secure.
All,
I agree with everyone about sending a note to LH to get better.
I will be sending a greeting to lwildstar to send on to him.
I also LOVE HMV Fangs.. so CUTE
DIZEY1 said
Iwildstar 🙂 Thanks for doing the card thingy for LH. I think he’ll see how much we do appreciate him. I’d Love to have a Henri’ sibling. Tell your friend yes for me and I’ll send the money with the card , if that’s ok with you??
Henri’ said ” Je vais tout lui apprendre”. “Service avec sourire”
I’ll send him to you when we are finis!! : P 😛 😉
Danielle said
Back to the Disney movie topic: Lilo and Stitch is one of all time favorites. I just love Stitch. The Elvis music in it was cool too.
DIZEY1 said
M’adame CLaire, pardonnez moi, it was supposed to be…..You took my breath away when we kissed. Oh hell I have trouble just speaking and writing english I guess I should say finis and move on. Sorry if I botched your beautiful (beau??) language. 🙂 But I’m a cancer and I just can’t quit. 😛
Margaret said
lwildstar: I emailed you back this morning. No sweat applying the other $ to postage. I’ll also be forwarded a ecard to you for LH later tonight.
Danielle said
Hey Beth-Exactly how do you cut the breath? Not that I should be picking because I don’t know any foreign lanquage. I just thought that transtation was pretty hilarious. At least it wasn’t cut the cheese.
Wait I do know this: Buenos Suerte Con Senor Guapo. It is Spanish. Can anyone translate that?
lwildstar said
Elizabeth – one bat for you
Dizey – I’ll get a “bat” for you too – I’ll email you later.
I just sent her an email and asked if she could drop the “brood” by this weekend, or next week…..
bad bad girl I shouldn’t be here, but I’m waiting for something to print – and I bore easily!
elizabeth said
Ha, Danielle – I totally get the fanfic post. After yesterday, I am really staying away from it at work 😉 I had a heck of a time concentrating for the rest of the day -hehehe
Danielle said
It is very dangerous. Most may find the male on male grosses them out but if the need is strong enough it serves it’s purpose. It gets the job done. 😮 LOL! Sorry JK
Rifkind said
Danielle,
Buenos Suerte Con Senor Guapo
Good Luck with the handsome man!
Danielle said
You got it! Well Senor is really mister. At least that is what I was taught in high school. That is all I can remember from Spanish class in high school. Pretty fitting to our purpose isn’t it?
I used to be able to count to 100 in spanish but that memory has flown the coop.

YAY!!! Another Lilo & Stitch fan! Woohoo! That is one of my fav movies too! I have all 4 of them. *g* I also have the talking Stitch stuffed animal, the movie soundtrack and the McDonald toys. My parents don’t get my obsession with that movie either. Heh.

RIMCLMAO!!! Ummm…I used to read lots and LOTS of hot and steamy Spike/Angel(us) fics back in the day. Just saying. *g*
And again, don’t mind me. My life generally just sucks. I’ve had dental issues going on and can’t take time off to actually go to a dentist at the mo. Bites. More Excedrin and Ambesol for me Baby. Hehe
Oh! LOVED all you guys paranormal posts yesterday. I printed all the posts so I could read them on the bus on the way home. Heh. Now at least I don’t feel so alone. I’ve had an experience too. Mostly involving my cat Sam, who passed away about 2 years ago. Or 3? I think it will be 3 this Dec. Anyways, I still hear noises off and on. I hear the bells we used to have on her collar. And I know it’s not my current cat Gabby’s bells, ’cause everytime I hear the sounds, Gabby doesn’t have her collar on. The sounds started back in 2005, right after I got my current cat. Almost like Sam came back to check out the new cat. *g* I heard the same noise last week in the hallway. At the time, my current cat Gabby was in the bathroom with me and didn’t even have her collar on. I never got to see Sam. I wish I had. I even used to talk to her, asking if she would show herself. My Mom thought she saw a white cat run by her once…and it wasn’t Gabby. She also heard the food bowl rattle when no one was there. My Dad has even heard the bell sounds. I also felt as if something jumped on my bed in the middle of the night, and my current cat wasn’t even in the room with me. I also felt as if something walked by my leg once. Also not Gabby. Also need to share. The day before Sam passed, she kept meowing and staring up at the ceiling, like she was seeing something that we couldn’t. I only thought about it later though. Angels maybe? Make that kitty angels. 🙂
ZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
Hope that made sense. REALLY shouldn’t be here.
vampgrl said
I also used to know up to 100 in Spanish.
Now I’m lucky if I know 10. I learned that from Sesame Street. *g*
Danielle said
vampgrl-I have the Stitch from the Disney Store with the red sweater that say naughty on it holding a snowball. I have the same in a smaller version for my Christmas tree. I also have normal looking Stitch.
Claire said
Oh Man Diz..you are too funny….Service with a smile huh!
Manque très bien Dizey!
I have something for you to say to Henry…he will think you are doing fabulous in your lessons and give you a big reward! 😉
Vous êtes un si bel homme, mes genoux vous tournez vers l’eau quand vous êtes près de moi !
😛 😛 😛
elizabeth said
I am stressing big time. I just got off the phone with my 14 year old and apparently my Mother is having a melt down. My mother is hard of hearing and refuses to invest in hearing aids – she’d rather travel. My daughter is a typical teenager, but is trying her best to help out while I am at work. Krysten woke up with a migraine this morning and consequently isn’t talking real loud because it hurts. Long story short – my Mom thinks she is being ignored and is considered a burden so she started to cry and get mad at my child. She said she is going home tomorrow (yea, right – she can barely function with my help right now) and Krysten (my daughter) is feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Ain’t life grand?!! 😦
elizabeth said
Sorry about the rant…I guess I am a little overwhelmed, too. This is me deep breathing and trying to find my happy place…..
lwildstar said
getting ready to leave – just wanted to thank all of you for adopting some of HMV Fangs sibs – they need a good home – I’m going to try and get the whole “brood”? “flock”? “heard”? (what do you call a group of bats?) from my friend – if nothing else they’ll have a good home at my place – I’ll hang them from the celing around my work room!
If the storm holds off I’ll pop in tonight!

Aaaaaahhhhh…no fair!
I wish you could still find one of those and send it to me. I have the talking Stitch in the orange spacesuit. The one’s that removable, though I don’t recommend it. Once you remove it, it’s WAY too hard to get back on again. The only time I did that, I almost ripped his little arms off. *g*

Claire 😛 😉
My poor translation here, You are one that handsome man, something about lap or knee (hmmmm) turn water? when you were close to me??
I flunked Spanish in school and never attempted to try another language. So sorry M’adame Claire for the merde I’ve given you here…help me!! 🙂 😉
Rifkind said
Oh Dizey,
I think that we ALL would turn into a puddle of water if Henry were around and giving us some of his love and attention..
BTW, How is your Dad?
DIZEY1 said
Ok ya’ll Eric and I are going up to the hospital to see my Dad. Will check in when we get home.
LUV YA’S XOXOX
Elisabeth/Beth/Dizey1
DIZEY1 said
Rifkind, Did you translate that from Claire’s post?? Thank you I know I botched the translation just a bit.
Dad’s doing ok, they’ll probably take part of the leg it’s gotten to that point. He’s come to grips with it some what, but when they want to take a part of your body off, can you ever really be ready?? We’ll survive and he should have better quality of life afterwards. Thanks for inquiring.
Rifkind said
Dizey,
No, I didn’t really translate Claire’s post.
I don’t speak French at all..but did CHEAT a bit and went to the Babel fish translator to see what was being said.. It seemed to be saying that our knees were turning to water… or would that be better said , turning into JELLO!
Now if we had may lifetimes to learn to speak different languages, that would be different!
I wonder how many languages Henry speaks? I am only just into the second BLOOD book , so don’t know if Tanya ever said how much linguistical skills Henry had.
Love, light and prayers to you and your Dad.
What a tough time for you! I am glad that you have the Blogkin for love and support!
lwildstar said
the storm followed me home – but I just wanted to check in before logging out for the night – I was really hoping to get some writing done – if the storm blows over I still might try – provided we don’t lose power. Have I mentioned how much I hate the weather this time of year!
I’m in classes for the next two days for the new job – if I get a break I might check in!
Good night my lovelies – I think I responded to everyones email – if not I’ll catch up tomorrow…Night all!
Margaret said
Dizey: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Wish we could literally be there for you. Take care..
catcornmom said
Hey everyone…..you guys have gone crazy!!! I feel so loved to get a shout out!! I do miss you gals!! I have lurked a few times, but it is so hard to keep up with everyone! Since I’m not teaching, I’m not at the computer that much. But Gypsy’s website is a window that I always have open on my computer! I still consider myself a Hen!
I have been filling my Henry-less summer by taking the vampire book suggestions and reading like crazy. J.R. Ward books are AWESOME, and I just started Christine Feehan’s Dark books and I can NOT put them down. Not a great Henry substitute, but they do help!!
My daughter just finished driver’s ed this week, and Friday we are headed down to San Antonio for her to play in a basketball tournament and then play at Sea World for a few days!! We went last year and just loved it.
When I get back next week, I’ll try to get caught up on the blogs and do a better job checking in. I do miss Blood Ties and the blood blog….it’s like a little piece of me is missing!! 😉
Madonna said
Good evening everyone,
Man, it has been slow here the last couple of days. I’m back at work so that explains my absence but where are the rest of you?
My prayers continue to go out to everyone in need of them.
Margaret,
You’re not being sappy. It’s nice to have a place to come and chat with your friends. So as Smokey Robinson so eloquently put it “I Second That Emotion.”
Danielle and vampgrl,
I also like Lilo and Stitch and most other Disney movies. As a teenager I wanted to go into animation and make them, but then I realized how much that schooling would cost and that my drawing skills were probably not quite up to par. (A lot of drawing involved.)
Also Danielle or anyone else who likes Elvis music… If you ever get the chance go see Ryan Pelton in concert, GO! He is an Elvis impersonator but you would never know he isn’t the real thing. He’s absolutely incredible, even up close. He sells out auditoriums and he is the only impersonator ever invited to perform at Graceland.
Well it looks as though I may have a 16 hr. work day tomorrow and then I’ll have to get up and do it all again on Friday. If it doesn’t kill me I’ll stop back by on Friday, maybe Saturday. My legs are already so swollen from sitting for 11 hrs at a computer today they feel like they are going to burst.
I’ll leave you with a little Blood Ties trivia. It should be easy for this group of addicts.
In what episode does Henry say “Looks can be deceiving.” and what was he doing when he said it.
Well until later everyone,
Love ya
DIZEY1 said
Hi Ya’ll 😛 😉 Checking in with my peeps, thanx to all my chix here in my BT blogkin family XOXO Dad’s in great spirits go figure. My dad’s usually a bit of a pesimist, a gift from my grandmother. I adored her but the glass was half empty. Not mine baby!! Anyway don’t know when surgery is but could be any day. We just laugh alot cuz’ crying sucks, and generally you don’t feel better.
Rifkind you’re slick I thought you knew what Claire wrote. I Googled for help(head hung in shame) but I’m learning for Henry, my sweet breathtaking, magnetizing vampire man!! 🙂 🙂 I will whisper sweet nothings in his ear and while I’m there have a nibble of my own. If I were a vamp I could suck 🙂 😛
Rifkind said

“I’m older than I look.” to the bouncer…
now I ‘m confused… probably have it wrong 😦
Himmiefan said
Dizey – more prayers for your dad!
Catcornmom – good to hear from you!
I haven’t seen Lilo and Stitch, but I did recently see Over the Hedge, which is Pixar, not Disney, but anyway… Over the Hedge was on HBO recently, and I saw it in the hotel I was staying in. Yes, I don’t have HBO, so business trips are the only time I get to watch HBO. Am I a wild and crazy chick or what? Let’s see, thanks to my HBO-watching business trips, I’ve turned on Eyes Wide Shut exactly three times just in time for the orgy scenes. Still not a good movie, folks.
If anyone is looking for a good vampire book, try The Historian. No sexy vampire, but still really good. Warning, read it with plenty of chocolate nearby. The main character and her father go on lots of picnics and eat lots of chocolate bars. I started craving Hershey’s big time!
rifkind said
Catcornmom,
We have missed you! Glad to hear that you can lurk sometimes!
rifkind said
MY turn to try to get the avatar to work.
msgypsy said
” Buenos Suerte Con Senor Guapo”
No es el espanol mejor. Quieres decir: Buena suerte con el hombre guapo. O con su novio guapo. Aunque. hay otros palabras para guapo, como bonito, pero de verdad, guapo es la palabra mejor. Bonito es mas o menos para un muchacho pequeno.
(I work with a largely Mexican community. It rubs off.)
I love that we here are sufficiently family that I can be busy as hell for a few days and trust you all to keep the “house” standing and not eat every blessed thing in the refrigerator without at least leaving a few quarters. Or some metaphor like that.
Lwildstar, do we know the shipping cost yet?
Best wishes and positive energy for all those who need and will accept it.
Cree said
Madonna–Henry says “looks can be deceiving” in the first episode, “Blood Price”. This is when we are introduced to Henry for the very first time and he is in bed with that blond chick who tells him he can’t be more than 23….

MsGypsy,
I’ll take Henry as “mi novio”, anyday!
El es un hombre MUY guapo!

Hey, guys. Just checking in real quick. *taptap* Is anyone here? DUDES!!! DUDETTES!!! Ummm….Blogeranians? *g* Say, speaking of TAPS..hehe..did anyone watch Ghost Hunters last night? I thought it was a big disappointing myself. I SO wanted that doll to smile. That would’ve been cool. Creepy…but still cool. Heh. Yep. Just me and the cat watching Ghost Hunters and Destination Truth last night. 🙂
Say…can someone send me that shocker pic everyone’s been talking about? You guys have been driving me insane! SO not a good thing…hehe

Annalaise duChat said
Good morning all!
I am just soooo excited! They finally finished installing the digital fiber optic cable/ internet infrastructure in out neighborhood and are flipping the switch to put us online! YEA!!! My hubby signed us up, I’ll have hi-speed wireless internet access next Thursday! Also digital cable with 2 DVR’S. The first thing I’m going to do? Upgrade my operating system, then Itunes, then download BT! Yea!
I don’t know why it took them so long to install it in our area. The rest of Mentor has had it for ages. I guess being in this little isolated community surrounded by the marsh and Lake Erie has it’s drawbacks.
Everyone have a great day!
Annalaise

Ok Vampgirl: Its winging its way to you as we speak.

You all are better than me. It appears that he has used that line more than once. Niether of those episodes was the one I was thinking of though.
Think comic relief.

Can someone walk me through posting an avatar here? I know we went through this before but I still want to try again. Don’t you have to wait a day before it shows?

Ms. Gypsy – I’ll email you details about the shipping for Tanyas card tonight – getting ready to leave for class right now
as for the cards to Loves History feel free to email me for my address so I can collect them and mail them all together – OR you can send an ecard to me and I’ll forward the email to him

Yo, Margaret! Just got the pic! Honestly, I never would’ve noticed that pic was offensive ’till you guys had to mention what that naughty gesture meant. *g* I never knew that either. Guess that means I also grew up in a bubble…hehe

Good morning , Buona Mattina, Comment allez vous, guten morgen 🙂 😛
That covers some of the places I want to go. At least I can tell them good morning. How are ya’ll on this beautiful day??
Doc’ would be correct on that line from Blood Price, I ‘ve watched waaayy too many times.
Lady Madonna, which epi were you referring to that Henry said “Looks can be deceiving” ???
Iwidlstar… having trouble w/my outlook express @ home. Hope to have fixed today and will email you my Tanya note. I’ll also get the card for LH and **BAT** 🙂 money to you in the next day or so. Thanx for my little bat boy!!
Margaret said
Vampgirl: Don’t feel bad, one of the youngens here googled it for us. What is really shocking is I asked a little part-timer (17 years old) we have here at work if she knew what it meant and she said yeah. Said she had been told by a girl claiming to be real religious. Soooo, don’t feel bad, you weren’t the only one living in that bubble. lol.
rifkind said
There you are little Avatar…
I guess that the system didn’t recognize that I was logged in.

Ok, now I’m getting pissed. I’ve even lost the ability to post the other picture.
Himmiefan said
Elizabeth – sorry I had overlooked your meltdown earlier. Hope things are better! I don’t have a teenager, but I have parents and other elderly relatives. If only both could use their powers for good.
rifkind said
OK Gals and Guys (are either of you around??)
Anyway a new line of discussion,
In the Stone Cold Eposode
Vicki is talking to Henry about killing Medusa and he doesn’t want her to have to do it.
From transcripts over at Blood Lines
*===========================
Henry stops Vicki from leaving with the sword, trying to convince her to let him handle Medusa.
Henry: I could hold that.
Vicki: And let you do my dirty work? That would be the easy way out wouldn’t it? I’m doing this.
Henry: It’s not like killing a Wendigo or a Demon; she’s human in many respects.
Vicki: Just what she’s showing us.
Henry: She’s not going to be easy to kill.
Vicki: I know.
Henry: Then maybe this isn’t your job. Have you ever killed a human being?
Vicki: My third year on the force. This kid has got a bead on my partner; he’s ready to pull the trigger. And I tap him. He died almost instantly. And there’s pretty much not a day that goes by that I don’t think about that.
Henry: I don’t have that problem.
Vicki: I don’t believe you.
Henry: Sometimes I think you forget what I am.
Vicki: Sometimes I try to forget.
Henry puts his hand over Vicki’s on the sword that now rests by her leg.
Henry: I’m not going to be haunted by this.
Vicki: This is mine. Because I think you forget who you could be.
Vicki walks away and Henry turns to look at the portrait of his father before following her out.
* =============================
OK WHAT exactly does Vicki mean by this line??
Vicki: This is mine. Because I think you forget who you could be.
I was never sure about that one.
Does it mean that He could become as much of a killer as his father?
Or does she mean that because he has worked so hard to control the killer aspect of himself, and she doesn’t want to make him kill again.
What do the Blogkin think?
-Rifkind
Margaret said
I think this thing doesn’t like foxfire as an engine, if I remember right I put the picture on when I was at home on internet explorer. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Himmiefan said
Rifkind – I might be way wrong about this, but I took that to mean that she thinks that he could be even more human if he put his mind to it, that maybe he uses his vampirism as an excuse – OR that maybe she thinks that he’s not such the big, bad killer that he thinks he is, that he is affected more than he wants to admit.
As much as I love BT, every now and then there’s a line or two that just doesn’t make sense. I’ve even thought about putting that into our movie in that Henry notes that sometimes the writers make him say things that he just doesn’t understand.
elizabeth said
Himmiefan – thanks for the support. I loved your comment “If only both could use their powers for good.” You hit the nail on the head with that one! yes, things are better today, but smoothing ruffled feathers can be a daunting task some days.
Rifkind- I also wondered about that part of Stone Cold and I think Himmiefan is right. Or, at least, that is the way I interpreted the scene as well. The other line that I have always wondered about was in Love Hurts where Henry is golfing and tells Vicki – My father killed the Scottish king – Yes, I golf. That never made much sense to me.
Teresa said
Haven’t been around for a couple of days. Took me a couple of hours to catch up, whew!
On the vampire quiz – I am Elvira, sexy, mysterious and an icon for vampires everywhere. Who knew?
On the fanfic – I am having trouble staying away from it at work as well. I know I should, but even when I’m doing other stuff, my mind keeps replaying scenes I’ve read. Now I know why internet porn is so addictive! 🙂
Anzia – Excellent stories, but too short 😦
The BloodTiesCentral site added some info on Henry’s rings, if anyone is interested. There is also an interview with the BT prop master with some pics of Henry’s pendants and rosary. Links to both in the News section.
http://www.bloodtiescentral.com/index.shtml
Himmiefan said
Golfing comment – me neither!!
I didn’t want to quibble with the writers, but I think Henry was actually away fighting the French when the king of Scotland was killed. Henry’s wife at the time had actually sent out the army for that particular fight with Scotland – if I’ve got my battles right. Historians say that that probably did not sit well with him since he was such an egomaniac.
Himmiefan said
Oops, Henry VIII, not our Henry. 🙂
Teresa said
The comment in Stone Cold – Yes, I think Vicki was trying to remind him of his humanity and that she wasn’t fooled by Henry trying to make her think he was a ruthless, unfeeling vampire to whom killing someone would make as much difference to him than crossing the stret on a green light. Of course, Henry trying to take the psychological burden for Vicki just proved his humanity because if he was so unfeeling, he wouldn’t care how it affected her.
As for the golf comment – maybe he meant that he was around when the sport originated, not only in time but in place, so if anyone should be familiar with golf, it would be him.
Maybe the writers put in a few cryptic comments to see how closely we’re paying attention, or maybe there’s some inside jokes going on *shrugs*.
msgypsy said
I was wondering about the golf thing, too, in that context. But I think he maybe was referring to the fact that his father’s army defeated the Scottish king’s army, but in the terms of the time, this meant that his father defeated the Scottish king. And even if Henry VIII was pissed about it, the fact of the matter is that he (by virtue of his army) DID win.
The boss is out sick today so I have a little more leeway with getting online but not much since the system runs slow if too many of us are online at once.

I’m outta here for awhile. I have to take my Mom to the surgeon to see how well she is healing. I will check back later this afternoon. Ciao
DIZEY1 said
elizabeth good luck wtih mom @ Dr.’s today.
Himmiefan 🙂 I thought that the line meant his humanity also. I think he underestimates himself on the human level. He gives too much power to the Vamp side and not enough to his Henry side. He controls much better the vamp than he thinks he does. Now I took took the Scottish King remark to be a little more on the sarcastic side. When Vicki kind of makes fun of him playing golf, I took his response as “HA!! my father killed the Scottish King , and YES I play golf….so there 😛 I think he was a little pissed off.
Funny how we all do see different versions of the same lines. TOO COOL Ya’ll 🙂 🙂 😉

Ello Chicas!
It has taken some time to catch up over the past couple of days’ posts. I must say it was like you guys were on some kind of camping trip sitting around a fire telling ghost stories. When I was at college there were quite a few ghosts that roamed the campus, or at least there were different ones in certain areas. Even had an encounter with something that acted like an incubus. After all, what better place for an incubus or a horny ghost to be than on a college campus?! Imagine my shock when the subject was featured on BT. I had actually forgotten about it until that epi.
Just looking at pics from Henry’s apt. and noticed this art he’s got in the corner (statute of a headless, armless man). I don’t recall ever seeing it in the show. It’s rather odd for a bachelor pad, don’t you think? And wouldn’t you think that a vampire would at least want a statute with a neck and in Henry’s case, a woman’s neck?
Teresa – thanks for the links to the jewelry. You always do great recon work for us here. 🙂 I also agree with your view on the whole golf convo and Stone Cold convo. That was my take on these too. Although the sarcasm as Diz mentioned was definately the overtone.
Tango said
Himmiefan – I must have missed the opening scene to the movie that you mentioned. Could you please post it again, or Email it to me?
DIZEY1 said
What’s even funnier is that I watched Stone Cold when I was getting ready for work this morning. I love the lines……
Vicki: Well you know 500 years old or not, you and I start hanging out together and people will say I’m robbing the cradle.
Henry: I’m willing to take that chance if you are.
Vicki: Must be that vampire magnetism I find so tempting.
Henry: My powers of persuasion don’t work on you.
Vicki: Then I guess it’s just you.

*************************************************************************
Henry: Can you even see?
Vicki: Not much. Look, get… get in the car. We’ll argue about who’s driving later!
and I love this one too**
Henry: Michael Celluci, of your acquaintance, was at the home of Elena Kanapolous, suspected gorgon. As we were leaving, I… saw… him.

Tango,
I saw the statue in the background of Henry’s apartment … and also wondered what the story was about it….
If the show goes on long enough, I hope that we will be told WHY this statue is shown so promenantly in his home.. There HAS to be a story that goes with it.
DIZEY1 said
Sorry ya’ll my epi’s got switched around but the pro’s that we are with knowing this show verbatim, I’m sure you’ve already noticed I *F’d* up (hee hee)
😛 😛 🙂 😉
rifkind said
Henry and golfing…
He may have been a bit pissed that this is one of the things that Christina took away from him. Playing golf at night ??? He can hit balls, even get some balls that are lit up.. and off to lit up cups… but he can’t really play a regular game of golf anymore thanks to Christina.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Tango, Ola’ que passa chiquita, I only learned the useful lines in spanish. On the pic’ I never saw that statue before. Also the name on the bottom right corner of pic’ is the same last name they used for the father of our evil Damian creepy kid. Deskin!! I like the way they use everything around them people included.
Himmiefan said
Tango and others – I haven’t typed up my silly opening scene yet. Will do tonight!!
DIZEY1 said
Off to lunch my pets….(grrrrrrrr) I wish I could say I’ve got a rendezvous (sp) planned with my slurpie boy, but only a steak fajita. It’s still meat though
😛
Teresa said
Maybe the statue is a nod to Henry’s bisexual nature… It could also be a genuine work of art from his past. I think there was something mentioned in the books about the ‘antiques’ in his apartment being genuine period pieces that most people would assume are reproductions because it would be too incredible a collection for them to be real.
Himmiefan said
I know Henry in the books was bi, but I just can’t see the TV Henry as bi. He just doesn’t strike me that way. Frankly, it would ruin the romance for me, but then again, I don’t like seeing him with any woman other than me. 🙂

LOLOLOLOL!!! I beg to differ. *g* I can’t see him with any other woman than ME!!! Don’t make me break out my big stick of death…hehe….eh. I can’t really see Henry as bi either. That’s probably why the summary for the smoke books kinda lost me. IF I ever get done with the blood books, I might buy them, but it’s still a really big if. Funny, I could read all kinds of Spike/Angel(us) slash fics, with them getting it on in every position imaginable…hehe…but I can’t see Henry with guys. Odd. 🙂 Oh! Talk about a weird dream. Forgot to mention this one. This was quite a long time ago now, but it kinda stuck. It involved me being a vampire and getting it on in a threesome with Darla and Dru. Talk about disturbing. And it also involved killing people. And blood. LOTS of it. And that’s pretty much all I remember now. Still…I don’t even swing that way, so I have NO idea where that ever came from. *shudder*
😮
msgypsy said
Vampgurl, if it helps convince you to read the Smoke books…the bisexuality doesn’t really come into the discussion except peripherally, except in the third book and even there it’s used with a delicate touch. (Which I think is what happens in that one scene, but we’ll let you wonder for a while…)
Slashfic didn’t do anything for me even when I was reading fanfic regularly. I’ve seen what men do together a couple of times closer up than I probably wanted to and it just didn’t look like fun. Reading about it doesn’t make it seem any funner to me. (And a lot of straight women enjoy girl-on-girl books and movies. I have no explanation for it, but I’ve noticed it a lot.)
Madonna said
Dizey,
The “Looks can be deceiving.” line that I’m thinking of was from Necrodrome. Now what was he doing or about to do when he said it?
Claire said
Good-afternoon blog family,
Wow summer and kids home is keeping me busy and tired,I hate missing stuff but I don’t think I’ll be on as much as I was,maybe on rainy days LOL!! Last night took my kids,including Chris and Brittany to Chilis..ate good had fun,got back late,went to sleep..had some weird dream…medieval time period and vampires.Kids are pestering me to go out…I do think my Ghosty zapped some of my energy the other day..just feel like sleeping!
The looks can be deceiving line is from the first epi..Henry is in bed with noisy blonde…I forget what he saids..she saids”and you are all of 23″ he saids”looks can be deceiving.
catch yous later….
Himmiefan said
Vampgrl – you know, it so funny, everyone is rooting for Henry to get together with Vicki and inside I’m going, “Noooooo.” It’s not so much Vicki but that it’s not me! I have got to get a life. Or a man; that works too. Gosh, Henry’s got me kind of spoiled though….
Speaking of Vicki, I liked her better in Blood Price, which I’ve watched more times than I care to admit. She was strong yet soft. In other episodes, she can come across as a real witch that starts with a “b.” In some episodes, I have to wonder what Henry sees in her. Okay, maybe I’m just a littttlllle prejudiced because it’s not me. 🙂
Um, Ms Gypsy, sounds like you’ve got a humdinger of a story to tell. 🙂
Margaret said
Just think how frustrated we will be at the end of 22 episodes knowing they won’t not only NOT knock boots but that a lot of things will be left unresolved. Could Lifetime, Chum, Kalidescope, torture us any more than they already have. Then when and if they go on break for season 2 (if there is one), how long is that goings to be. Get me a helmut, I can feel some head banging coming on.
Himmiefan said
Hey Margaret. I noted earlier that I hope the powers-that-be get into gear and make a decision about a second season, and start filming, sometime before Kyle is in his mid-40s and Christina and Dylan are nearing 60. Just seems like it’s taking a loooooong time.
Teresa said
Hey, hey, hey! None of that ‘if there is a second season’. We need to keep all that positive energy flowing to ALL TPTB because it’s ‘WHEN there is a second season’. We just have to make sure that WHEN doesn’t take too long. 😉
Claire said
Hey vampgrl…Comcast is playing Angel TNT channel everyday at 7a.m.!
Was flicking through channels while drinking my coffee,the other day and voila`
Now I watch every morning while my 25 year old son sits next to me also drinking coffee complaining how”I’m soooo gay” but yet…he starts asking questions as to what is wrong with Spike.Remember when Spike turned into a ghost? cause he threw himself into the hellmouth to save Buffy.
It’s not BT and angel and Spike aren’t Henry,but it will curb my vamp craving a little while! ;P
Teresa said
Ooooh, Lord! How’s this for toasty! 85 degrees, 79% humidity. That’s actually cooler than it was yesterday! I think I’m going to melt in the time it takes to walk from the elevator and my car in the parking garage 😦
elizabeth said
I have a question for you ladies – When Henry and Vicki are watching that old Vamp movie it was in his apartment, but has anyone ever seen a TV in his apt. other than that one time? And where the heck was it located? I have gone back and actually looked for it in other episodes – any excuse to re-watch right? – and I have never seen it.
elizabeth said
I think Oregon has forgotten it should be summer. It has been very cool here and..surprise, surprise…it is raining again. I think all my veggies in my garden are stunted from lack of warmth and sun.
DIZEY1 said
NOW GIRLS…Settle down, you’ve got to use that power of poitive thinking. I KNOW WE WILL HAVE A SEASON 2 AND MANY MORE DOWN THE ROAD. Not a doubt in my mind, I have good info from my boy Henry, he says it’s a go girls 😛
So don’t worry your little heads off, cuz’ Blood Ties ain’t goin’ no where. 😉
Chat at ya’ when I get home 🙂 😉 😛
DIZEY1 said
POSITIVE THINKING…. DAMN IT I WISH I HAD SPELL CHECK HERE :0 😛
Teresa said
Maybe the TV is in some little alcove, tucked away from sight. Or then again, it could be one of those oops moments for the continuity people.
I don’t think we’ve seen all of Henry’s apartment yet. The large area that is not his bedroom seems to be partitioned into sections by screens and one of those areas is his workspace, another is the area V&H were sitting in the first time he took her to his place.
Teresa said
Elizabeth – I’ll trade you ten degrees of heat and 30 percentage points of humidity for the equivalent in coolness and dryness 😀
Himmiefan said
Also, where is Henry’s computer? Does he have one? I was typing away today and starting thinking that Henry probably wouldn’t type correctly. He’s probably a hunt and peck type person.
Can you see Henry trying to fix a problem with his PC? No amount of vampire charisma would help him with that.
Is it just me or is Henry’s apartment just a little too clean? I mean, shouldn’t there be a pair of shoes or a jacket lying around? A few golf magazines on the couch and coffee table?
elizabeth said
Ah, Himmiefan..you are headed down a slippery slope with your musings! I wondered much the same things and then started to figure out who did the laundry, did he have a maid to keep the house so neat..and, Oh by the way, how could he since he would have to trust someone to come into his home and possibly discover his secret…you get the picture. I ended up making myself crazier than usual and then laughing at myself for even thinking these things. I would certainly raise my hand to be his “care taker” – hehehe 😉
Chery said
Margaret and Teresa I am so thinking the same thing. I sent off 8 postcards today. I know I know………
A show like this comes along like never!!!!!! Life Time may be delaying because the numbers on “Army Wives” is better than anything Life Time has ever done. But will they be able to sustain the numbers.
Blood Ties remained very steady number wise. And Lifetime repeated the show again the same night but no other nights during the week.
I guess keep positive thoughts and Blood Lines has e-mail addresses for tv guide, and other places we can send e-mails.
YES THERE WILL BE SEASON 2,3,4…………………
Himmiefan said
Can you all image Henry running a vacume cleaner. 🙂
elizabeth said
Now that is something I would like to see – I’m sure Henry would still manage to look sexy even running a vacuum cleaner 🙂 He can come over to my house anytime he wants to do that!!!
msgypsy said
Elizabeth, my strawberries are happy with the rain. Nothing else around me is, though!
I wonder if Henry has a housekeeper who knows what he is. Some friend from the Henry & Betty days, if you catch my drift. I’m pretty sure his bedroom door has a solid lock on it, although it’s pretty darned clean, too. And I suspect he’s just fine with his PC except when he has to call in the Geek Squad and they don’t make night calls. (Sorry, the mental image just made me choke…) Are we sure the TV was in his place and not Vicki’s? Because the popcorn implies a microwave at least and we have no evidence of his having a kitchen in his place.
On that note, I’m heading for home, bloggerini. I’ll catch you later.
lwildstar said
Dixey – no problem with either the ecard or the $ – will keep an eye out for both
Claire – got your email, did you send me an ecard for LH? – if so it hasn’t shown up yet.
Class was tediuous beyond belief – we had one lady who just couldn’t get it so the instructor had to stop and give her personal instruction – I would start to daydream and had to pull myself back and try to focus – the fun part was when we got to do the “practical” and had to set up a client – I set up Vicki Nelson Investigations – Henry is her partner and only driver – vehical Black BMW, I listed Mike and Moadvan (sp) as an “off site” consultants…I had to laugh entering Henry as the driver because you have to put in an age and birth date – I was sooooooo tempted to put in 488 years and work backwards for the DOB – but I wasn’t sure the training system would get the joke so I went with 23yrs.
Well I am totally wiped out and I have to go back first thing early tomorrow morning….
FYI – I should have the bats by Monday – so no hurry on the $, the little guys aren’t going anywhere.
Well logging off for the night will check in tomorrow! I’ve got ten more postcards to write up and send out!
Night all!
elizabeth said
msgypsy – I wondered at first if the Tv was at Vicki’s, but they were sitting on the black leather love seat he has in his apartment, which made me decide it was at Henry’s place. Speaking of a kitchen – I also wondered why he had Salt when he doesn’t eat in the episode Bad JuJu. See, I told you it was a slipper slope – now I will absolutely have to go home and rewatch these episodes – poor me 😛
I love Oregon Strawberries ms Gypsy. They are so sweet, so I won’t complain about the rain 🙂
lwildstar – I will be sending you the money for Vamp, Jr. tomorrow. Also, look for an ecard for LH. Thank you for doing this!
elizabeth said
Well, gang; I’m outta here for the evening. all of you have a great evening, k?
Madonna said
Alright guys, Cree got it. I actually forgot that the line was said in Blood Price and this one could be really easy to miss. It is from Necrodrome toward the end. This is a good scene.
Vicki: Looks like this could be a tough party to crash.
Henry: Looks can be deceiving.
Henry winks and then turns and lays out the greeter in one punch
Vicki: Ohhh. Okay, uh, you know what? Go to Mike’s car, give me three minutes, then switch on the sirens and head back in here.
Henry: How do I do that?
Vicki: It’s the switch marked “sirens”.
Henry: Sirens.
Henry walks away as the greeter starts coming to and getting back to his feet. Vicki gives him another shot and knocks him out, then drags the body out of the way and looks for another entrance.
Margaret said
Going to watch bad Ju Ju, someone mentioned something about his walk in it over at bloodlines.
Cree said
I also thought the T.V may have been at Vicki’s apartment only because I have never seen one at Henry’s place, even though the couch did look like Henry’s. And speaking of Vicki’s apartment, is her apartment and her office one in the same? She always says that things happened at her apartment when talking about things that we saw happen at her office, like that gross kiss between her and not/Henry. She asked the real Henry if he was just at her apartment kissing her, when we clearly saw in the scence before that when not/Henry kissed her it was at the office because when he walked in, the first thing he did was ask where Coreen was. I’ve always been confused about that.
Madonna–I never would have guessed that line you were referring to from Necrodome. Its one of those lines I never really noticed until you pointed it out.
Margaret–You’ve got me curious….what about Henry’s walk in Bad JuJu? I went over to the Bloodlines site but couldn’t find what you were referring to.
msgypsy said
Yes, Vicki’s office is in her apartment. I’m not sure what the setup is, probably something like the office in front and the apartment in back. We rarely see her apartment, though, just the office part.
Tango said
Mystery of the elusive television… Could it be this room off of the main room that looks like the same wall color and the picture in the middle of the set of three there looks like it could be the portrait that we see when Vicki has her butt up in the air. The portrait looks more like Henry’s style – maybe another family portrait. We also see the shoji screens for a brief ½ second in the background, so we know that it is Henry’s apt. I don’t think it is the main room because there is no side table at either end of the love seat. (What can I say – I’m married to a PI)
Himmiefan – we could all have a spotless house if we had vamp speed. Would love to have that vamp speed! 🙂
Now here’s a little treat for everyone! This must be a picture from an upcoming epi. A flashback scene no doubt. Oh I can’t wait! 🙂 :p :-0
Is it October yet?
Madonna said
It looks like some information is starting to surface as to what Kyle Schmid has been up to during the hiatus. It sounds like it is a starring role opposite Jeff Goldblum in the drama Into A Far Country. No synopsis is posted as yet though. I found this at Hollywood.com
Well I manage to get away with a 13 hr work day today instead of the 16 I was expecting. Scheduled for 8 hours tomorrow. Off to bed now for me.
Goodnight
Tango said
Missing TV – upon further review, this picture below and looking also at the Bad JuJu salt scene when Henry runs back into his apt to get the salt… We see that he runs into the first room to the right once you enter his apt which is the room I thought was the TV room, but this picture shows another room in between the possible kitchen and the shoji screen which has the same doors (as seen in Bad JuJu and Norman) Mystery solved.
Himmiefan you will also notice that there is one of Henry’s jackets laid across one of the chairs! 🙂
Now that we have established that Henry must have a kitchen (ie. Salt, popcorn, and microwave) – I hope that they get to building the set soon so we can have some sexy cooking scenes in there!
Tango said
Sweet Henry dreams Madonna!
Madonna said
Goodnight Tango. Sweet dreams to you too.

Cree: I think it was in one of the chat lines. They were talking about his swagger. Someone even said he was slightly bowlegged but I think its the pants they have him wearing.
DIZEY1 said
Hey blog family 🙂 just lurking before I hit the hay. Tomorrow’s my last day before my vaca. starts. May I say AMEN!! Whoohooo, don’t go back till the Monday after 4th of July!! Yippy, very happy dance 😛 😛
Margaret what’s up w/Bad JuJu??
Lady Madonna thanks for the info on hiatus boy!! I can’t wait to see him in something new, I don’t care which comes first **BT** or another movie etc. I’ve rewatched my ep’s so much, I probably could do all the dialog.
Well Sweet Henri’ dreams…….I know mine will be 🙂 🙂 😉
Margaret said
I was lurking on one of the chat lines over at bloodlines bloodties. They were going on and on about his swagger in Bad Ju Ju. Someone even said he was slightly bowlegged which I don’t see, I think its the pants he was wearing. As far as his swagger don’t see that either. He certainly does have a presence but its not just his walk. Do I really have to go on about what it is: Lets see, its a certain way he clinches his jaw, a certain way he looks at you that can make you melt, a certain way that he’s chewing on someone elses neck which makes you wish you were yours, do I really need to go on?? LOL. Please direct me to a padded room, in lieu of that just drive me to the nearest police station so I can register. Is it October Yet???????????????????????
Himmiefan said
Speaking of kitchens, wouldn’t it be cute to show Henry trying to bake something or make dinner? Henry trying to figure out an electric beater, leaving the top off the blender, wearing an apron, etc. Adorable!
Tango said
Himmiefan – it’s funny how our minds wander in different directions when we are given just a smidge of information. My mind went in the direction that since Henry has been around for so long, that he knew his way around a kitchen. I think it is very sexy when a man knows what he’s doing in the kitchen – when he can crack an egg one-handed, or can saute up something sizzling in one pan while also preparing something exquisit like crown roast of lamb. Now if we could have Henry creating something decadent in the kitchen when Vicki comes over and he feeds her a taste of what’s cooking – I think this could turn into something short of the 9 1/2 weeks scene that would make us all very happy viewers. Afterall, Henry is one hot tamale!
Now I need to see my “Take Home Chef” – great show if you haven’t seen – good-looking ausie chef finds women in grocery stores and goes back to their place and prepares a feast. TLC channel.
Tango said
Well, it’s getting waaaaaaaaaay too late! Ah man, what was I thinking… tomorrow is crazy – I should go 😉
Altered a little bit, but you know where I got it from. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Margaret said
But we’ve never seen Henry eat anything other than an olive so the question is since the writers have already breached what Tanya basically lets him do (drink water only) does this mean that the writers will let him eat a full meal down the road. After all the only thing he seems to have an appetite for is blood and sex, not necessarily in that order. lol

Hey vampgrl…Comcast is playing Angel TNT channel everyday at 7a.m.!
DUDE!!!! Where you been?! They’ve been playing Angel on that channel pretty much forever. *g* Sadly, I’m already at work by the time it’s on…usually I’m at work, if not, I’m still on the bus. So I don’t get to see the reruns unless I watch them on tape. *sigh* But there is hardly a scene involving Spike that I don’t remember. Heh. It’s BT I’m still a little raw on…especially since I don’t get to watch the eps as much as I’d like. 😦
I wonder if Henry has a housekeeper who knows what he is. Some friend from the Henry & Betty days, if you catch my drift.

And I suspect he’s just fine with his PC except when he has to call in the Geek Squad and they don’t make night calls.
LOLOLOL!!! Henry trying to figure out how to use a computer. I would TOTALLY pay to see that. 🙂 Also wondered what would happen if it were Angel or Spike using a computer and said computer started to freak out. Not pretty…hehe…
So…what did you guys think about my freaky dream sequence? Or did you miss that? Or did you miss that on purpose maybe? *g*
New piccy! Mike looks so friggin’ HOT in this pic…I just wanna eat him up. *ddrrroooolll…* Must bet the way he’s holding that gun. ‘I love my gun’ *g*
I don’t know…this pic just does something for me. 😉 🙂 😛 🙂 🙂 🙂 😮 🙂 😛

Ok apparently I wasn’t missed yesterday. No biggie. I couldn’t come on at all. Very busy at work. I have to leave early today for the big race this weekend in New Hampshire and someone else in my department is on vacation next week so I have to make sure I get all her stuff to her this week. Plus it is the end of the month and all price changes have to be in before the end of today. ARGH! I won’t be on today either. I just wanted to come on and say I missed gabbing yesterday and I will miss it today and tomorrow but maybe not Sunday because I will be at the race. Jeff Gordon is gonna win man. Beth watch and you might see me. LOL!
Margaret said
rifkind: Glad I could provide some amusement as when I start roaming around my brain I find it somewhat disturbing and perverted. Guess its the Southern Baptist thing…..but I guess as far as the major sins go-he’s not married and weren’t there vast age differences in couples in the bible, although it tended to favor the men in most cases. As someone said, he is legal. And last but not least, I’ll never meet the guy so why am I sweating it-when you come right down to it he’s just a really SWEET dream or fantasy. Although I have told everyone at work if I get hired as a personal assistant up there-they won’t even see the dust when I leave. lol.
Tired of Florida, the sand spurs, no scenery, property tax and property insurance crises, I’m just so over it. I’d like to do something exciting before I pass into the nether world. God, my life is boring……
I’m off for the day (in more than one way), going to pay bills and watch some more Blood Ties. Otherwise I might revert to my fetal position or my head banging quoting the words over and over again-“Is it October yet”?

Morning lwildstar!
I am so glad that you saw my Avatar!
It ONLY shows up when you are logged on… and I can only do that here at home… at the office I just can’t login and leave a window open to the blog… I am certain that network monitoring will see that I am surfing… not a good idea!
I worked and worked to get the image just the right size to show up in the tiny Avatar window… I am so glad that you got to see him and recognized HMV Bat!

Hey, I’m right there with ya, Margaret. I have no life to speak of either. *sigh* Next week is my vacation and I’m not even going anywhere. Ugh. I should spend the week cleaning…yeah…like that will happen…hehe…I should work on more of my BT story…but I’ll probably just spend the time relaxing, reading and sleeping. 🙂

Hi ya’ll, Happy Friday 🙂 😛
Dani gril I did miss you yesterday. I wondered where you were, figured you must have been busy if you didn’t pop your head in here. Tell Jeff I said good luck, but I guess you figure he doesn’t need it huh?? 😉
Margaret.. my fellow cancerian, I’m sorry to tell you but we cancers are just a little on the obsessive side. I’ll send you a chocolate chain care package to hopefully get you through… what maybe the weekend?? 😉 We’re tough chick we’ll make it to October, Henry said so XOXOX that’s from him.
Cree said
Margaret and Vampgrl: I didn’t realize you guys lived in Florida. I live just outside of Orlando. I have only been here for the past couple of years, so I guess I haven’t had time to get tired of it yet like you seem to be. I really love it so far. My favorite part is no snow!! That was my whole reason for moving down here in the first place….I just DON”T do the whole winter thing!
DIZEY1 said
OOOHHHHH ,
I almost forgot to tell ya’ll this. Another of those wierd things happened to me yesterday. I get a sales call, a priest looking to replace a freestanding ice machine. No problem I give him prices and we decide on a model that he wants to order. I ask for name, address etc. OK here’s where it gets wierd, his church that it’s for (residence for the priets) is …”St. Henry’s Church” and his name is Father Henry. I kid you not!! I’ll send a copy of the order to show ya’ll. Too freakin bizarre. I almost asked him if he was kidding me , but he’s real and the church is too when I called back for some info. I got the recording with the times of mass. Is henry/Kyle talking to me telling me he’s on his way here, who knows. I’m ready and waiting 🙂 😉 I’ll just have to give him……………. “Service avec sourire” 🙂 😉 😛

Hey Doc’,Margaret, & Vampgrl….. I’m in N.O. and Tango’s in Alabama, we’re all pretty close. Although Orlando from me is a 12 hour car drive approx. but I can get there by plane in 45 minutes. Maybe we can find a way to congregate. I’ll have to think on that one. We could meet at Flora/Bama go to that little bar there on the beach. It got wiped out pretty good by Ivan but I think has been rebuilt since then. Cool little place. Great Sausage & grilled onion po-boy I remember from yrs. ago. don’t know if they still make them but those were worth the drive. YUMMY!! 🙂
elizabeth said
‘Morning everyone! It seems like this conversation always kicks into high gear after I have to log off for the evening! It is fun to catch up each morning and see whats been happening 😛
lwildstr – you have an email waiting, my friend. My bracelet arrived yesterday and I have it on today 🙂 I did a happy dance by my mailbox and I am sure my neighbors think I finally cracked…little do they know!
Margaret – I totally get being tired of where you are. I guess that is why I have moved so often. I have a restless soul. I think the next place I live will be in Colorado. I soooo love those mountains..oh, and cowboys…did I mention the cowboys?
elizabeth said
Hey, Vampgirl – next time you have vacation you should come out to Oregon. I have a spare room and there is plenty to see out here. There is nothing worse than well deserved time off from work and no place to get away to.
vampgrl said
To Margaret and everybody else: I live about 3 hours south of Orlando…give or take traffic problems. Today it’s probably closer to 5 hours. *g* I live about 30 min from Fort Myers, if you know where that is. 🙂 I live in Lehigh Acres…just another crap town with nothing to do. It’s actually big enough to be a city, but it’s still considered a town. Heh. Good luck getting me to go anywhere. I don’t drive…and I don’t do planes either. *g* And I’d feel kinda weird meeting you guys. I hardly know you. And Margaret, ggrrrll, you sound as depresses as I feel lately. Ever feel like you’re life is passing you by while you’re standing still? Ugh. Oh and on the bar thing? I don’t drink that much either…which is why I could get drunk really easy…hehe
To Elizabeth: See above. I also lack the financial standards to travel anywhere. 😦
Oh! Hey Claire! Is your printer still freaking out? Try putting paper in it if so and see if you get a message. I mean, think about it, what better way than a spirit to make contact than through a printer? 🙂
Tango said
Dizey – did you say Florabama?! LOL I was there in May when we had a convention down in Perdido. Had me some mudslides and was a happy camper! 🙂
Dizey, Doc, Margaret, Vampgirl – we could all meet at my house in LaGuna Beach (Florida Panhandle next to Panama City Beach) if you guys wanted. At least it would be a free place to stay. We will have to think on that one and make plans maybe for next summer as I’m booked for the rest of this year. It is always in the top 5 beaches in the world, so its a great place to be. I’ve been to many beaches, and I would say it is right up there with the Bahama’s with its white beaches – just that the sand doesn’t feel like silk under your feet like it does in the Bahamas. Can you imagine the convos we’ll have around the dinner table eating our crab legs and shrimp talking about what happened in epi 22 and looking forward to the real season 2 and not the pseudo season 2 (really 2nd 1/2 of season 1) we are getting this fall.
Elizabeth – so it’s cowboys that get you going huh? I will be in Oklahoma City in a couple of weeks where the cowboys and the buffalo roam. I’ve never seen so many cowboy hats in my life. Speaking of cowboys – my thoughts and prayers with all those out in the parts of OK and TX who are struggling with the floods. Good Lord, I wish that we could take some of that water off their hands – as we have been in a stage 3 drought all spring. We haven’t seen a drought like this in over 114 years. My grass and vegetation are crunchy! 😦
Tango said
That last comment made me sound like a vampire didn’t it? Not that I’ve been around for 114 years, but hey, you know what I mean. Listen if I had been around for 114 years, I’d find out one Henry Fitzroy’s address and jump on the next jet to Canada. I’d figure out some way for us to co-exist – we’d beat the odds, like he told Vicki.
Vampgirl – how old are you dawlin’?
DIZEY1 said
Tango 🙂
Great idea! I’m up for that, a guy that worked w/me here moved back to Panama City about 3 yrs ago. He’s in the kitchen biz like me. Florabama baby!!! Yeah buddy do they still do those sandwiches, the sausage thingy’s they really were worth the drive. We would spend every spring break or at least a summer trek to Ft. Walton, or Pensacola, Destin’s my fav. so far. the Emerald Isle is exactly what it is too. Beautiful place. Party days my girl. But I’m ready when ever ya’ll say , thanx for the invite!! We’ll get Claire there too.
Man what a blast that’ll be . It’ll be Henry everyday and everynight by then we’ll have DVD’s OMG !!! I’m STOKED NOW 🙂 🙂 😉
Tango said
Elizabeth – I just had to let you know about this commercial that just came on. I know you had Colorado in mind for your next move, but you may want to look in the direction of Wyoming. You can own a scenic 40 acre homestead from only $1495/acre (that’s dirt cheap!) The commercial shows cowboys riding all over the place! 🙂 go to http://www.wildhorseranchwy.com and check it out.
elizabeth said
Tango – yep, I have a soft spot for Cowboys 😉 I lived in Montana on a ranch for a few years and I have to admit a long, lanky man riding a horse across the prairies kinda gets my heart to fluttering. Ooooh, could you imagine Henry in the wild west? Low slung jeans, shirt sleeves rolled up on his strong forearms, a black hat sitting low on his forehead. Damn, where’s a cold shower when I need one?
Vampgirl- I’m sorry you don’t travel a great deal. If things ever change my door is open. That goes for any of you ladies who want to see the Pacific Northwest. I always have an extra bedroom 🙂
elizabeth said
Tango – I’ve been to Wyoming many times. I am not a fan of the southern Prairie as much as I love the Grand Teton mountains. You’re right the land is dirt cheap and in that area you can see forever. The video didn’t work on that site for me, which is probably a good thing right now 😉
Tango said
Dizey – I am not sure if they still do those sandwiches or not. I never eat when we go there, just go for the music and relaxed atmosphere – more of a night scene for us. I’ll be down there next May – I’ll have to look at a menu and see.
Yes, we really must have Claire join us. I really wish we had a bigger place to have many of the bloggerati down. But we can always try to find some place close to house them so we can all get together and have fun. We just have a small cottage – 2 bedroom & 1 bath (but it sleeps 4 – 7 if people don’t mind sharing a bed with someone THEY’VE NEVER SEEN) I just don’t know how the whole bathroom scenerio would play out with 7 women! Holy Moly! I don’t know about the northern women, but we southern women do like to primp.
Tango said
Elizabeth – yes Kyle as a cowboy would do it for me to. Your description does make a girl – thanks by the way, my hubby’s out of town til tomorrow! 😉 So far the only way I don’t want to see Kyle again is in the slasher type movies like he did in Death Row. That just didn’t do anything for me. Can’t
wait to see this new one he’s in In a Far Place. I wonder if it is an adaptation of the book Into a Far Place- it has to do with the rescue of some whalers in Alaska – true story. I’m not a fan of Jeff Goldblume, so I will just have to ignore him. I did notice that Kyle got top billing – excellent!
DIZEY1 said
NO Way Tango, us primp (hee hee) Yeah maybe we can find a rental for the bloggerati, however many of us there are and we can split the cost of the rental. We’ll have to see what’s around there huh?? Cool deal. & **7** women together all Henry/Kyleing together, I can’t wait all Henry’s Hens chattering away. Too funny. 🙂
Tango said
Well, I’ve got to go clean house and then go pick up the teenager we sponsor (like Big Brother/Big Sister) – this is our weekend. I’m also picking up my neices to have a slumber party – take them to the movies and then who knows. I’ll see if I get a chance to check in with you guys tonight.
Tango out!
Tango said
Tango back in –
Beth – we’ll have to see what this spurs in conversation today, if there is enough interest I will start looking for a bigger rental closer by, but depending on the number of people, we will need to plan way in advance. It would be hilarious to get us all together – I am sure we would bring home some great stories of our time together.
Tango really out this time! 🙂
DIZEY1 said
Tango, Count me in !! Great stories and great pictures. CLEARLY I will have a camera. Woohoo, I’m excited. that’s plenty enough time to plan a gig.
Going to lunch and the bank. Will check in when I get back. Dead as Henry Fitzroy here girls.
Later……… 😛

That last comment made me sound like a vampire didn’t it? Not that I’ve been around for 114 years, but hey, you know what I mean.
LOLOLOL!!! I hear that! We SO need rain too. Way too many fires lately. They just had a 2000 acre one yesterday in Cape Coral. Ugh.
Vampgirl – how old are you dawlin’?
Hmmm…the post about my age must’ve gotten lost somewhere. *g* I just turned 30 on May 14th. As tempting as hanging out by a beach eating shrimp and crab legs sounds…mmmmm….I’ll have to take a really BIG rain check on that, says me of the no travel type. Heh.
Talk to ya guys probably next week. *g* OUTTIE! 🙂 😉 🙂 😛 😛

Margaret said
Anyone heard how LH is doing? Vampgril, Dizey1, Cree, Tango, and anyone else nearby-Just let me know a date and I’m there. Can’t be in July as the only people I have to take care of my dog while I’m out of town are on their own vacation for a month.
I have to tell you that getting together with other addicts is rather cathartic. I met with a bunch of ladies when I was into Jag and I never had such a good time in my life. We sat at the restaurant, who was familiar with the group as they had met there before (they didn’t rush us out) and talked for hours. I had such a great time. Still hear from some of them once in a while but as I have become fickle for this young boy here they don’t hear that much from me.
I’m looking forward to Kyle being in a movie that we can all go and see but honestly I don’t think any of his roles have been as suited for him as Henry is. As Dylan Neal said he’s nailed it. The little bugger oozes sex appeal. Or maybe its just his character. Actually in Z I felt like I should have left the room during that shower scene, geezzzzzz.
On a total different subject, has anyone noticed how long his fingers are?
elizabeth said
Margaret – I have definately noticed Kyle’s hands. They are beautiful and very masculine *sigh*. But, then, I guess you could say that about the rest of him…
vicki said
Hey all..
sorry I’ve been busy the last few days..took me awhile to catch up. Mmmm where to start…I am hoping there is a website for the new movie Kyle is in. ( I will look later) and yes Miss elizabeth his hands are very nice…It seems to be part of the character he has created to make them move in a certain way. (ILOVE IT)
Anyway I was flipping channels the other night and History of Violence was on..but I didnt get to watch enough to find Kyle. (Kids not in bed yet…didnt want them to see it) Has anyone seen it?? What part does he play?? I will have to make an effort to watch it when it comes on again. LOL Twist my arm..I will watch Viggo!! HE is HOT!!
I would have him…JOhnny Depp…Pierce Brosnon….Clive Owen…oh there are to many to make a list.. just wrap them all up…I take them to go!
Margaret said
Heres a link to the Spacey Awards Video: http://www.spacecast.com/videoplayer_4090.aspx
Kyle is in it for about 2 seconds, three quarters of the way through making a presentation. The original video he was in on photobucket has now been pulled and I’m not sure how anyone can get to it.
Margaret said
I don’t fricking believe it-I turn on lifetime (4:00 p.m.) eastern and what is on there ARMY WIVES. STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!! How many times are they going to run that crap?
DIZEY1 said
OH Liz and Maggie, that’s what I’m calling you wild and crazy chix!!
You felt like leaving the room during the shower scene , I felt like jumping in with him. I can get those hard to reach places ya know?? And the ones not so hard to reach too…… 🙂 😛 😉
lwildstar said
just checking in – I’ll be back tonight – depending on the weaher – we’ve been having storms on and off all day!
Got your email Elizabeth!
Himmiefan said
Kyle presented the award for best drama, I think. Stargate Atlantis won, and they had a really cute video where they were all in a big group struggle because each person wanted to keep the award statue. For all you Stargate Atlantis fans, count me in, David Hewlitt also had a really cute acceptance video when he won for best character.
elizabeth said
Margaret – I think they are going to keep running Army Wives until we start bleeding from our ears!
elizabeth said
Dizey1 – I’m with you on the “Z” shower scene. I kept pausing and rewinding to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I should have felt like a real perv, but was enjoying it all too much to feel any real guilt. I know…I know *shaking my head* I should be ashamed. Tell ya what – I’ll watch it again just to see if I can dredge up any guilt ;P
Himmiefan said
Re: Z
Okay, folks, I have got to get ahold of a copy of this film.

Hi All!
I finally got my Avatar to work yesterday…
And well, I started writing up some notes for folks like lwildstar, so that you could get it to work too!
Oh boy! It started to get really TOO long to post here…
So what’s a gal to do??
Create her own Blog of course!
Here is the link to the pages on how I got HMV as my Avatar
I am not an image expert.. so the first page tells you how I managed to NOT mangle HMV’s image too much!
Let me know if this helps folks get their Avatars to work.

rifkind said
Of course, please include me as IN for any Blood Ties gathering!
What a blast that would be!
rifkind said
OK Gals,
You MADE me do it.. with all your talk about Zerophilia..
I just ordered it from the official movie site…
http://www.zerophiliamovie.com/
There is no shipping charges..
Wonder what the Hubby will think of that movie ???
Humm. . . . .
Margaret said
rifkind: First and foremost, watch it by yourself. Somehow I don’t think your husband would find the humor in it and I doubt you would be able to really enjoy it. Its one of those guilty pleasures that you need to watch by yourself for several reasons which will become self-evident once you watch it.
Claire said
HI Blog family..I only have a minute..I just quickly skimed through everyones post,so I don’t know what I missed!
Iwildstar..yeah I sent an ecard yesterday! WTF? ugh,anyway I just sent you another one…please forward it to LH..or let me know if you don’t get it again…Thank you!
What movie? Kyle my boytoy in another movie? When? Where? LOL!!
BT gathering?? you all better make sure I can be there or you all will have one Crazy sees dead people Kyle Schmid/Henry Fitzroy obsessed,Sicilian,French,Isreali,tired mother of crazy quads ready for a vacation,hot tempered redhead coming after you all! LOL!!! ;p
Vampgrl…usually getting 4 7yr olds ready for the school bus! doesnt leave time for TV in morning…now I have more time to enjoy my coffee and some naked Spike…ah yes I had forgotton when the reaper came after Spike…and Spike was in the basement all in his glory….hmm….a scene like that should be in our movie…Yes…when I get there early on my super Harley…only to find beloved in chains in all his glory! ;p What do you say ladies? Dizey? Tango?
Puisque …corps glorieux de roche d’Henry dur le beau sans vêtements… serait ciel ? :p
rifkind said
That’s kinda’ what I thought from all the Ladies comments!
Just seeing the one screen capture of the shower scene is …
WHEW!! Just TOO HOT!
I can’t imagine what the whole scene is like…
YUMM!!
elizabeth said
rifkind – definately watch it alone. I ordered it because of all the cryptic comments everyone was making (well they were cryptic to me because I had no idea what they were referring to). Everyone who saw it seemed to love it and I wanted to know what all the fun was about. Don’t regret it in the least 😉
Margaret said
Elizabeth: I believe you’re right but I’m wayyyyy past that, I’ve suffered an embolism from the mere mention of Army Wives anymore. Are they afraid undertelevised people in the third world haven’t seen that stupid show. I’m telling you people I’m not going to make it until October. Wonder when that new Movie that Kyle is in will be released. Not soon enough. If I can’t turn my television on without seeing that another episode of Army Wives is coming on I’ll have to leave it off until October rolls around, that is unless there is going to be a blood ties marathon, that would be the only reason to turn it back on.
Margaret said
Ok-I have another game we can play to occupy ourselves until October. Things we would like to see on Season 2:
(1) FIRST & FOREMOST-HENRY & VICKY BUMPING UGLIES UNTIL THERE ARE NOT UGLIES LEFT.
(2) Mike out of that damned rain coat and into clothes that fit his equally smokin body. (I love Henry, I really vant Henry but if Vicki’s going to get him I wouldn’t mind looking at Mikie). I realize that Henry is supposed to be the prettiest guy on the block but Mike needs some love too and he’s really not that bad to look at. (Make no mistake ladies, I’m still one of Henry’s Hens).
I’m just sick of seeing Mike in that raincoat.
(3) Donuts and cops are no longer the thing. Give him a bagel and some low-fat cream cheese. Most of our cops eat bagels now.
(4) More of Henry’s background and obviously where Christina fits in. Maybe a fit betwee her and Vicky, see whose defense Henry comes to.
(5) See some of Henry’s previous lovers, other than Christina. Or do we just consider the rest of them snacks?
(6) I want to see Henry and Vicky out on a date, actually acting like normal people. And Vicky needs to give Henry something other than a cold shoulder but then that goes back to #1 does it.
(7) I’d like to see Vicky in a dress. I know, not realistic, but maybe something bizarre where she and Henry have to both get dressed up. Maybe a party thrown by Henry’s editor.
Ok, ladies..and any gents left…..let her rip…..
Margaret said
Whoops, should have been no uglies left.
DIZEY1 said
CLAIRE…..
SOMETHING ABOUT THE GLORIOUS ROCK HARD BODY OF HENRY IS BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT CLOTHES ( OUI MA’AM) 😉 IN THE SKY ??
WILL CATCH YA’LL WHEN I GET HOME 😛 😉 🙂
elizabeth said
Margaret – I was definately laughing at your comment on Henry’s previous lovers as “snacks”. The visual was too funny.
I would also like to see Mike step it up a bit. I want a little more of the tension between him and Henry to come through and for Mike to look a little more put together rather than just world weary. He’s a great looking guy.
I’d also like to see Vicki in a dress. Even in the first episode she had a nice shirt with sparkles along the neckline and blue jeans…
I’d like for Henry to stop being so patient with Vicki. The rejection is starting to get to me. They are dancing around each other too much ..
rifkind said
I think that she wanted to say
serait ciel?
IN THE SKY??
That’s HEAVEN
Can you just imagine Henry chained up … ummm in ALL HIS GLORY…
wouldn’t that be HEAVEN??!!
YUP!
Margaret said
Ah, yes, Henry tied up on a bed….now that would be a visual.
elizabeth said
Particularly if he is tied up on my lovely white Iron bed. all that lovely masculinity in a feminine setting…this is me drooling 🙂
lwildstar said
ok where to start!
1) Rifkind you are a doll! – I’ll take a shot at the avatar tomorrow
2) Maragret – will be picking up the package tomorrow – will let you know – sent you an email
3) Rifkind again – I only bought “Z” because of the comments made here – love it!
4) what would we like to see in season 2? – all of the above mentioned – plus – some history of Henry and Dr. Segara – whats the story there? And maybe references to some of the things brought up in the books – maybe a look into Henrys darker side…?….
Listening to the tv – great line from that new show “Side order of life” in refering to men – “he’s a great looking shoe thats not in your size”…does that sum up “the man hunt” or what?
ok back on topic
5) Margaret – Elizabeth – I refer to his “snacks” as “twinkies” 🙂 our boy certainly has a sweet tooth!!!!
Margarets #(7) “I’d like to see Vicky in a dress. I know, not realistic, but maybe something bizarre where she and Henry have to both get dressed up. Maybe a party thrown by Henry’s editor.”….I had this same thought! how wild!
Ok if I plan to get anything done tonight I’m going to log off now. I’ll check back in with you all tomorrow….I’m hoping to get some writing done tonight.
Oh please send a little prayer to the universe for me – I have a singles mixer to to tomorrow afternoon (a friend of mine asked me to “chaparone” a friend of hers to this thing and I agreed – reluctantly) I’ll go but I’m not looking forward to it…..please send the positive vibes my way!!!!!!
elizabeth said
lwildstr – you got it, kiddo. Nothing but good vibes coming your way!
Margaret said
Now is we get this meeting coordinated what are we going to call it? The First Annual Bloody Henry Hen’s convention?
lwildstar said
meeting? what meeting? I haven’t had time to read all the posts I’ve missed!
Did we start something new?
anyway I’ve spent the last hour writing, my neck is stiff – I could really use Henry about now – a little foot rub, a little back massage, a neck rub,…a little nibble?
sorry ….sigh… 🙂 …got off track…
Just wanted to remind you to get your greetings to Tanya in this weekend
NightWalker0001@aol.com
Dizey – just got yours
Madanna – added you
I plan to have it finished over the fourth – nothing fancy – but I think she’ll like it. I’ll let you guys know when I finish and I’ll email ya’all a copy if you’d like.
Ok I’m ready for bed! I need to look fresh and rested tomorrow…geeezze I’m getting old!
Night!
Margaret said
We were talking about getting together sometime. Thats why I suggested giving it a name of some type. When we Jag addicts met we were called the Florida Floozies when we met.
msgypsy said
Laurel and I get together for lunch periodically; we don’t have a name for the get-togethers but I’m thinking Minxes who Lunch sounds good. (Laurel is out of town for a little while and won’t be able to comment until she gets back so I’ll hold off on the formal naming.)
It’s too bad meetup.com has started to charge for the service, because that would be a great way to reach other Hens’n’Minxes.
As for Henry’s ex’s, he’s apparently quite picky. It almost sounds like Vicki may be the first non-artist he’s pursued. Although Betty Sagara (I’m assuming that’s Elizabeth Sagara, right? For her age Betty would be a common nickname for Elizabeth) is a scholar so far as we’ve seen.
I don’t know about anywhere else but around these parts I rarely see a cop eating a bagel unless it’s got a ton of stuff on it. And if you’ve ever seen the Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies (most of them) you’d see why I insist they’re still the donut snacking kings of the state. Mike doesn’t look like he chows down on donuts all the time but he sure seems to like them, and I think that’s believable. I mean, the dude jogs while it’s still dark out! Granted, it’s usually with Vicki, or so we’re given to believe. But still….

Margaret,
>> I turn on lifetime (4:00 p.m.) eastern and what is on there ARMY WIVES. STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!! How many times are they going to run that crap?
I counted ten times either last week or the week before last. That’s probably also why their total rating numbers are higher than Blood Ties..
because they have to run it that many times more to get their same viewers writing on those Neilsen cards.

I’d 2nd that idea. The one time my printer did go off by itself, out came a blank page. So, it was either written in invisible ink, or a glitch that continued to glitch itself, as I mentioned earlier.. won’t mention that other possibility – not here (eek!)

Heyyyy ya’ll , just stopped in to see what the wild kidz are up to no good I’m sure 🙂 Nephew Logan is sleeping over tonight and that old FULL MOON is kicking in, BIG TIME. The peeps at work were getting a bit snippy when I left. I think it was Rifkind that was asking about the full moon and how affects people. Can ya’ll feel it??? My house is a little off kilter tonight(SP?) Anywho will try and stop back in a bit, if the dude lets me. Right now he’s bugging my Mom to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. A kid after my own heart 😉

lwildstar,
>> AlisaSG – you’re right about the Tarot cards – I throw them at least once a week – but never the oiji – thats just asking for troubel – but I had experiences with “things” long before i attempted the tarot – they just stronger after…..
reinforcement to the above..
2 weirdies happened this week..
(on an *EEK!!!* factor scale)
the day after I mentioned about apparition encounters
(by AlisaSG, posted June 26, 2007 @ 8:57 pm)
>> hmmmm, experience with apparitions..
any whooooooo..
our area had a direct hit from a demonic storm. I saw the crack of lightning, as it blew the transformer in front of us. It was pouring-bucket rain (like in hurricane style, but it was a vertical storm sheer with horizontal winds), so the power lines were very sparking pretty colors, too.
(NICE!)
Anyway, usually storms like that bother me – to the point where my insides go nutzo. However, when the storm hit us, I was in a protected area, and felt awe more than what my coworkers were experiencing. I had seen a similar phenomenon over 20 years ago in another town – but outside our front window. We were in a grotto area, so the winds sheered off 2 blocks on both sides of us.
There’s lots of scientific explanations for such events, but this one seemed very demonic in nature – as if the forces of “good vs. evil” were battling it out right in front of me. Couple that with what was being discussed on this blog the night before, and it makes perfect sense.
They (the forces) didn’t want their true nature to be found out. If they can compromise your life, then they’ll leave you alone. Otherwise, they make sure you know they are around and not happy with the discussions going on, unless things turn in their favor.
Storms continued the next day, but not as bad. Northern NJ and various NYC/Long Island areas got hit bad.

>> Claire,
>> I agree with AlisaSG, that someone may be messing with your computer…
>> I forget that some folks may be VERY vulnerable to hacking attacks.
weird, only since the day I mentioned about potential hacker attacks (on this blog), we’ve had 2 “phishing” attempts sent to us via e-mail. One was in a foreign language. My hubby thought it was italian, since the word Italian was distinguishable several times in the other language. We hadn’t had any attacks prior to that with our new e-mail addresses, until the time mentioned here.
(phishing is illicit or unsolicited attempts at identities, sometimes used as identity theft. Our *it* office – the “Intelligence Techies” – keeps us well-informed of these things.)
vicki said
ladies..
I too agree…one more episode of Army Wives and I will hurt someone. HTey are wearing that thing out!! It is always on! Where was this kind of love for our BT???? HMmmmm (Are you listening Lifetime execs??)
Anyway…I am all in for a meeting of the minds..and minxes..and hens.. Tell me where and when..I will swing it if I can.
As for next season, Yes..Vicki dressing up would be good…Henry less clothes…more backstory…Mike BURN THAT RAINCOAT!!! less clothes..more tension with Henry..
Mostly more tension with MIke and Henry..that is really what made the dialogue snap during the first three or four episodes, and I realy miss it.
Yes also to more the whole story with the proffessor…I am sure it was an intense and interesting fling. I want more…
More Henry
More MIke
More EVERYTHING….
Does that make me greeedy????
HHhmmmmm

just curious. Not computer savvy (but have had plenty of experience in Oooops! blundering, while falling asleep with the mouse in my hand!) *eek!*

need some time to write up an alternate ending to episode 22. Had a dream this morning and thought I’d share – Whoah! you people are planting plot seeds into my brain. hope I can write it out and remember all those torrid, HOT details. Yeeeeowww! (evil laugh from me!)
Kyle/Henry and CC/Vicki were in it! ..you’all got your *dream* wish, too. 😉
(I managed to manipulate the dream just a little, after I realized where they were and what was happening to them.. it was almost as if I wrote the scenes, but knew what they were sensing/feeling from each other, too..)
OOoooooooo!! .. later! 😀

Claire – Are you kidding?! Of course I would love to see our beloved Henry in all his glory, but I think chains would cause him some psychological pain after what the mad monk put him through – maybe some silk scarves!
À moins qu’ils aient été des chaînes de chocolat, quelque chose qu’il a sue qu’il pourrait sortir de mais était jeu juste avec le jeu.

Aliza…
Go write…share with us…too… LOL…cant wait to read it.
Silk scarves…but I want to take off his clothes…LOL PLEASE!!!
Slowly..maybe with my teeth…
Ok..sorry got carried away
AlisaSG said
making a quick writing exception for the following urgent note–
Tango,
I’d 2nd the silk scarves.. they feel so much nicer. 😉
Besides, I’ve been wondering about people who are ALLERGIC to too much chocolate. I used to get serious hives – doesn’t matter which flavor chocolate.
Now, I’ve tempered my *bad* chocolate habits enough that I have hordes of it secretly stashed away for those more depressing days. Only when I remember that I even have it, I might get the urge to nibble on it. 😀
Otherwise, bathing or basking in it, is verbotten in my world. I ration it out to my coworkers, too – unless they specifically get a serious craving and ask me for a few spare chunks. (snack size bars are *wunderful!*)
So, I’ve been shying out of this blog “movie” script for personal (allergy) reasons (even if it’s all just make-believe). Thought I’d just shy away, but not necessarily for reasons some folks might think. Y’all can have my share of the chocolate..
PS- I used to get secretly upset during Easter if my bunny was smaller than my sisters.. talk about greedy! Well, at least until we found out I was highly allergic to the stuff. Then, I had to back off and sulk (*whimper*). 😦

Hello everybody!! I’m brain dead from a hectic week, but am on vacation as of now! Yeah!!
I was Googling BT and AW secretly hoping to find that AW was a flop, but instead found this on Philly.com:
“After four episodes, Wives (at 10 p.m. Sundays) averages 3.6 million total viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s an increase of 173 percent over the time slot’s previous occupant, Blood Ties.”
Okay, I can understand this since AW isn’t such a “niche” show while BT is. Now, that said, Lifetime could still have a major hit on it’s hands with BT if it plays up the “beefcake” aspect. They need to really market Kyle and Dylan. I just don’t want Lifetime to waste such a great opportunity – okay, for purely selfish reasons: I want me some Henry!! Hey, that could be their slogan!
Tango said
Margaret – things I would like to see in future epies:
1. More witty repartee between H & M
2. Less raincoat-time on Mike
3. More fancy shindigs for V & H to attend together
4. Less Kate being persnickety
5. More flashbacks of Henry’s life
6. Less Vicky pushing Henry away
7. More Mike in jeans or something more flattering
8. Less Henry getting shafted
9. More real-life cases
10. Less clothes on Henry!
Himmiefan said
Alisa – dont’ worry sweetie. I’ll take your share of the chocolate. No, really, it’s no imposition at all.

My list is short but sweet..
1. More Henry
2. More Henry
3. More Henry with less clothes
4. More Mike with less clothes..(DIE RAINCOAT!!!)
5. MORE MORE MORE BT

AlisaSG,
I understand where you are confused about logging IN.
Yes, I know that I too was able to enter POSTS to the Blog and also put in a URL address to a cool Henry picture.. and do all that WITHOUT a WordPress account.
The AVATAR is the little picture by my name.
Do you want a picture AVATAR of your own?
If you want the little picture, then you will need to create a WordPress Account.
The login is at the top of this thread… but her it is again
https://msgypsy.wordpress.com/wp-login.php
You can select to just have an account without necessarily creating your own Blog page.
If you choose to JUST have the account, you can later on create a Blog if you want to, that is what I did when creating my notes today and decided to setup (Rifkind’s World).
Once you have the WordPress Account created, you can then upload a picture to be you personal avatar.

Margaret posted yesterday I think that she saw on http://www.hollywood.com where Kyle was working on a movie with Jeff Goldblum called Into A Far Place. There is also ome listed under his name called One Point 0 with no date beside it, so this may be another one. It seems like I read something a while back that he was working on two films this summer, so this would make sense.
BT gathering ???? OK – you just scared me with the description you just gave of yourself. 😉 Ce ne serait pas le même sans vous, évidemment vous êtes invités!
I think it would be best if we are serious about getting together for you to email me so that I can make a running list of attendees and can start looking for a place to house everyone. tangotango@bellsouth.net

Sorry, the first part of that post was a reply to Claire’s earlier post.

>> Alisa – dont’ worry sweetie. I’ll take your share of the chocolate. No, really, it’s no imposition at all.
gladly! you can have it.
and the M&M factory down the road a piece, too. Hop, skip and few jumps of a drive. I went to college down there, and pewwwk! did it stink something awful for about 2 solid days thruout the entire town. I thought that’s what cured my chocolate cravings, but actually, no..
I got sick on a bag of expired peanut M&M from the vending machine. Didn’t know the peanuts were bad at the time, but I shied away from those things for months and months. It was years before I munched on another full baglet of peanut M&M’s. Now, I just stick to whatever my coworkers bring in, or the crunch bars.. lots of them..
I’ve been known to horde Halloween candy and Christmas candy for up into the next year.. that’s how frequently I actually touch the stuff (rarely!)
———-
Actually, it was when my mom’s diabetes was raging and she nearly turned blue once, she told me about cinnamin being sort of a sugar-stablizer for blood glucose (sounds like a great Blood Ties medical HELP! here). I’m not sure how it works, but it’s definitely curbed my appetite for sweets to degrees I never thought possible.
I used to munch down 2 bavarian creamed donuts every day, every week, and apple cinnamin-spice and never gain more than a pound (I had a hyper metabolism then), but it sort of caught up when I went borderline hypoglycemic, which is sometimes a first warning stage before diabetes kicks in (if that’s hereditary). After I started to regularly eat cinnamin (anything) snacks, my cravings for the chocolate disappeared, along with the other sweets. Now, I can actually eat (raw) broccoli and cauliflower and enjoy them!

I mentioned this earlier.. sorry for the length.
alternate BT ep. 22 cliffhanger ending..!!!!!
short story version-
Vicki didn’t need to hate Henry for not saving Coreen – Coreen couldn’t be saved. Vicki did not hold any grudges, because of it. Because Vicki knew she herself was the key and Coreen was the backdoor.
(by AlisaSG, posted June 29, 2007 @ 7:40 pm)

———-
short story long..
how the dream evolved (first part is not Henry, but mental seeds planted).
Strangely enough I found myself
going to College in Canada! to study antiquities and ancient history (sound familiar yet??). Well, we were getting a whirlwind tour of the dorms and neighborhood and of course – I got lost while seeing the sights.
Somewhere in my dream, a super attractive young, Native American Indian (I’ve seen this person before) was a servant partially controlled by and controlling an evil (jerk type of) guy who played the blonde Prince on BeastMaster (Tv series, not the movie version). well, the blonde guy was a Canadian Prince (he was still a rich kid moron, tho!). I really admired the Native American guy, but why did he ever team up with the moron from BeastMaster?
Unless there was something subtle or subtexted into the word BeastMaster.. and what I saw happening.
Anywho.. the two of them were *friendly* with each other in the “male with male” type way..
moving on.. (ahem.. can’t *imagine* where all *that* background noise came from..)
..
..
dream morphed from that point into Blood Ties.
AlisaSG said
as I just mentioned..
dream morphed from that point into Blood Ties.
(sorry, being detailed oriented is either a gift or curse with me)
It was episode # 01×22 (Season 1, episode 22). We all knew it was going to be a “cliffhanger”. And some of you keep saying Henry’s life will be in danger of the rising sun. (Tanya mentioned it too, but not sure if this was the episode she was referring to.)
Norman returned to take Coreen back into his world to become his queen.
Yep. Norman turned Coreen into a demoness. She was gradually transforming when her and Vicki got into a fight. I didn’t see the fight until after I saw the following scene.
OMG!!! Henry and Vicki were both in the shower together happily entangled. Might as well just jump to the point.. (oh it got better later, too)
I saw Vicki from shoulders up – no sign of clothes and they were both distracted enough that they forgot the shower water was still running.
I thought, wait a minute. Sun’s coming..! Henry needs to hide!!
that’s when I think I actually manipulated the dream.
dream sort of went into a sudden erased rewind.
Back to Norman.. Coreen was attacking Vicki, while Norman was demon clawing Henry with those 2 inch nails (oh, is that where the term came from?). Norman seriously clawed Henry up almost as bad as the first demon vamp in Blood Price. I didn’t know Henry was hurting in the shower, until this point.
Coreen clawed Vicki in her rib cage just under her heart / bra-line area.
somehow, both Coreen and Norman vanish back to hell’s hole.
Vicki manages to get Henry safely home (apparently some sort of slurpee). Finally, at home is when Henry realizes Vicki has been clawed. She’s hurting. So, Henry gently kisses her wound (it gave him an excuse to move her torn shirt from her waistline) and he kisses the rest of her too (direction didn’t matter).. and then they both ended up somehow in the shower after.
He softly made a comment about not just his hands.. (as in the LOVE HURTS hallway scene), and put his index finger lovingly shushing her attempt to make excuses, and then he began kissing her – all over.
She wasn’t resisting this time, and she was actually amazed (and enjoying) that Henry was *capable* of being so wonderful and gentle about this experience for her. (well, duh! we knew that!)
No sense of time was in there. It seemed to last forever, even tho it was only a few seconds from what I saw (that sounds like too much Tv BT there..).
Oh yeah, the sun was still about to come up.
(translation? — REAL life invading in the dawn hours, and being subliminal as a Blood Ties cliffhanger plot idea?) maybe, I’m paying too much attention into reading what you all are writing into these blogs here.. 😉
Alternate ending to ep 01×22 was a “cliffhanger” alright. My alarm clock went off.
(noooooooooooooo!) *g* :p
Margaret said
Tango: Yeah, I was going to say I couldn’t take credit where it wasn’t due but I wasn’t here at thetime.
On the things we want to see, yes, definitely less clothes on Henry and Mike.
And why wouldn’t Army Wives have better Neilson’s, they’ve played it 5 million times.
Margaret said
On the donuts thing: Seriously, what do Vicky and Mike do when our backs are turned spit them out. I mean, what size is Vicky, really? Her butt is smaller than one of my thighs. Anyone want to venture what size she is? Is there such a thing as a 00. When she had her butt up in Henry’s face I wanted to smack it just for being so small. Geez, is anyone really that small. Then think about it, the camera is supposed to add 10 lbs so she’s even smaller than she looks on TV. Just shoot me.
Margaret said
Note to Henry’s Hairdressers for next season: Stop mashing his hair down so much on the sides of his head, makes him look sinester (sp). I like his hair when its nice and fluffy, the better to run your hands through and makes him look all the better to ….
Margaret said
AlisaG: Your dreams are as good as a fanfiction. Glad I’m not working today. I can’t decide which I feel more of on this board perverted or dirty? Forgive me for that nose dive into the gutter. I haven’t had a good dream in I can remember when. Much less one with Henry, with or without Vicky. Preferably without if you know what I mean. lol.

AlisaSG said
Margaret,
>> AlisaG: Your dreams are as good as a fanfiction.
I wasn’t expecting the turn of events to do that.. 😀
But psycho-analyzing it now, nearly every detail mentioned in there, basically came from various details and influences – seeds being plotted into my brain from within this blog (or in addition to what was in Tanya’s blogs, too).
The college thing- been over that, would prefer not having to go back..
however, I really liked the attractive Nordic / Alpine ceiling look of the dorms. (that’s probably the designer in me).
going to Canada and everything in the dream happening in Canada – well, I think that’s obvious.
BLOOD TIES is a Canadian production. 😉
———-
the Native American.. someone on here mentioned being Native American Indian
the male with male – pretty obvious about those seeded discussions (I prefer avoiding those).
When the blonde Prince from BeastMaster greeted his Native American companion, it was a slobbery (Norman ickky type kiss at Vicki) – the other guy sort of tolerated it, until he decided to stop it by biting the blonde Prince. Mind you, all of this was done in front of a bunch of Canadian witnesses! :p
and that cliffhanger ending to ep.01×22.. well, pieces of everything I mentioned came straight from various influences from these blogs – right to the sun rising and Henry getting hurt.
Vicki’s attitude about Coreen, that was my POV. If she were ever to get near enough to Henry in the way he wanted her to, I didn’t think Vicki would hold grudges against Henry for letting Coreen go to hell – literally. Coreen was already trapped under Norman’s spell, and there wasn’t anything Vicki or Henry could do to change that, once her demonic entity came out.
So, they let Coreen go, and then nursed their own wounds and selves back to health. Of course, the sun was going to dawn in the daylight. Henry didn’t get his window blinds shut in time.. But as long as he was kept out of (the) direct sunray’s, he didn’t burn up.
*wicked* thought- it’s summer (in the USA and Canada)..
..those burning UVA, UVB rays from the sun.. 😉

ahhh, now it makes sense.
and No, I don’t want a picture or avatar. Too many to choose (and I don’t use them on other forums either). I prefer the larger DVD Tv screen visuals. Even the little 3×5 or smaller (inch) Lifetime screen is a bit much on the eyes. I’ve tried enlarging it, and don’t like the pixelation it causes. The smooth lines of the smaller screen make the story easier to follow / look at. But there is such a thing as too small of a screen, too (i’m just not a video cell phone or i-phone type of person, either).
However, I’ve got bad (Vicki’s near-sightedness) vision. Can’t see half of the little ones anyway. Plus, they’re memory hogs on the servers containing and updating these blogs. I’d rather not *tax* (stress-out) the system more than necessary.
I’ve seen that happen before, and I’m one to try to help keep things to a minimum.
Either that, or I’ve got incredibly strong restraint in resisting (OOoo! which pix would I pick??)
too many choices..!! very indecisive.. (stop it!)
nevermind.. that’s the better option for me. 😉
I even thought about the blog (or a web site of my own). Nahh. too involved. Plus too much work to keep out the *undesirable* pirates.
J.Depp and Zen Gesner would be allowed to stay, tho. 😀
Nobody else would visit anyway.
thank you for the ideas, tho.
still resisting the pix/avatars. *g*

Good morning everyone!
Just stopping by to say hi. I got a little spoiled during my vacation so I’ve kind of missed being able to hang around with all of you this week. I thought about stopping by last night but my strained eyes and swollen legs screamed at me and told me no. I’ve put in close to 60 hrs of computer time this week, 36 of that in the last 3 days. My eyes are horribly strained plus I think the left one is scratched from a contact lens. So I will probably limit anything too taxing on them today.
lwildstar,
Thanks for adding me to Tanya’s card. Is it you who we are supposed to be sending our well wishes to LH to? If so could you please add my name as well. I seem to be having problems emailing other AOL members too. I guess that means I will have to call them up and say what the….. If they are able to help me I’ll try your email addresses again this weekend.
Danielle, I missed you and I wasn’t even around that much myself.
As to a Blood Ties gathering, that sounds like a lot of fun. I’d love to meet you all. Unfortunately I don’t get to take trips too often. Financially and schedule wise something always comes up. So I guess I’d have to see how thing look for me before I made a decision to go.
I have a mission for those of you who have Blood Price Part 2. I don’t or I would do the research myself. In a scene just before or just after Henry’s & Vicki’s discussion about Christina they flash to a stone sign in the park. All I can read on it is Hitler’s Way. It goes by too quickly for me to read the rest of it. I’m wondering if this sign is relevant to the show in any way, or maybe it is something subliminal? Maybe it has nothing to do with Blood Ties at, but hey, inquiring minds want to know.
Also in this episode Henry tells Vicki, “Demons aren’t the only ones who hunt after dark.” Do you girls think that maybe he sometimes hunts his food like a traditional vampire when he can’t find “take out”? Is this a reference to his darker side?
Talk to y’all later…

oops… I disappeared for a week! I got the living hell beat out of me at the ren faire. (sword fighting) I didn’t recover until wednesday, then life took over and I couldn’t find time to browse through the blog until today. I haven’t even made a dent in the massive amount of posts you all have made.
Have I missed anything interesting?
I got the last 2 volumes of the blood books, so I can’t guarantee that I’ll be around much for the next 3-4 days, but I will try!

Good afternoon blogkin,
Kids keeping me busy!
Translation for Dizey and others…what I said was…

Tango…Merci Beaucoupe!!! for the invite…don’t be afraid of my description of myself LOL!! I am “Hot tempered” with all those hot blooded nationalities running around in my bloodline! ;P but I swear I don’t bite! Well not unless it’s Henry/Kyle LOL!!
Yes you are right about the chains…
mais naturellement, les chaînes devraient être chocolat, nous ne voudraient pas que notre Henry souffre davantage !
Ahhh Rifkind…No…no story line about pool dad here…he hasn’t been around.
Personal time…with quadruplets? roflmao! no such thing in my life!
Last time I had personal time was 2006 July 14th…when I went to Canada for Bastille day..with my friend.
Speaking of my friend with benefits…he is alot like Henry…takes alot of BS from Vicky.Well my friend had a fiancee,she’s from Poland.He is Lebanese.
Her family hates him…she kept complaining she didn’t like America…she kept going back to Poland…coming back.and John kept taking her back,even though her brother said John is a terrorist! Lebanese people are Christian!
Anyway…I got tired of the BS…He called me this week…and said he wanted to see me,that he missed me…but that Anna had called and wanted to come back….she had been in Poland for 7 mths.So he tells me he feels bad..saying no…that maybe he should give her another chance.Three years this is going on.So,I said “John,you are my best friend,but you can’t make up your mind what you want…You don’t know if you still love Anna,you want to have me in your life…but I am stepping out…so you can think clearly…see how it goes with Anna,and don’t call me…I’m sorry but a homewrecker I’m not,and if I am not in your life then maybe you can find your real feeling for Anna.He was so upset…”what never talk to you again?.I said..well if you are going to keep taking back Anna..I’m out.That’s cheating..and I won’t be a part of that.He said please,please don’t do this…I said take care John..love you…bye.
So thats all the drama in my life..nothing major…no story plots here sorry LOL!!
Madonna…I took Henrys saying”Demons aren’t the only ones who hunt after dark” as there are human predators that hunt at night under the cover of night..pedophiles,serial killers etc.I think he was trying to convey that not just immortal evil is out there..but very human evil too.Just my view anyway.
Well,have to catch up on laundry..see yas later! 🙂

Whoops, should have been connect a dot, although could have been connect a doubt after a finished. lol.
msgypsy said
Lady A, that sounds painful! We got our first look at the sword fight choreography and our Macbeth was all dressed up in padding and additional armor because he’s never done sword fighting (not everyone in the SCA is a fighter) and he kept getting hit and bruised. Luckily we have two months and then some for him to heal up and learn not to get hit. (Even with the choreography it’s possible to get hurt and the other two guys in that fight scene are trained swordsmen.) (Including the one who has to fight like a wimp and die quickly…LOL!)
I really should be doing some kind of housework today but instead I’m looking for cool podcasts….
Would those of you who are discussing paranormal things, and the ones discussing their Henry dreams, like your own topic area for this? I’m not saying not to discuss it here, but if you’re trying to follow the topic it’s a little hard, the way this thing is set up. I like the whole free-flowing thing but others might prefer it in a more structured way.
Claire said
The way the blog is doesn’t bother me at all…but then again I’m pretty easy going,I don’t know about everyone else.I like it free-flowing just like you,Ms.Gypsy. If certain things that are being discussed don’t appeal to someone or they don’t like something then they can just skip over it.I feel that splitting up the blog into separate sections would make it even harder to keep up with and it would lose its group/family discussion feeling if you will.I know I don’t have time to jump from blog to blog,and I would hate not being able to speak with all of you at least once or twice a day.

Hey all…
Miss Margaret…As a TV aholic…let me inlighten you.. Most TV actors are all very small and pettie.. (Say 5 ft to 5 6 as tall)There are exceptions to the height rule, but few (Gina Davis, John Laroquet) But most of the woman are small and tiny…I would guess that Miss Vicki/Christina is about a size 3 or 4.. she mention doing gymnastics so I am sure she is not very tall. Most tv people run the size range of 0-4….
Let me give you reference…that lovely girl on Greys Anatomy…Callie(the one George married??) She is a size 6…but of course of TV she looks like a twelve..BTW TV adds 20 pounds…NOT 10. The star of Greys..Meridith..she is a size ZERO!!!! It is the cult of tv…small is good…big is bad.. My guess is that Christina may be a little taller than most…but she could be wearing heels during most of her scenes. I dont know about Kyle and Dylan..I would guess that Dylan is about 6ft. but cant tell.
Oh well..my two cents for what it is worth.
msgypsy said
I’ve read somewhere that Christina is taller than most, it may be one reason she didn’t pursue gymnastics as seriously as she may have wanted to. (Didn’t I read she tried out for the Olympics?) Vicki is supposed to be taller than Henry (EVERYONE is supposed to be taller than Henry but that’s beside the point.) Dylan is a particularly tall fellow, so that isn’t a problem but they at least needed an actor of Kyle’s height or more to play Vicki. (She’s his height, more or less, isn’t she? My, how memory fades! Must go watch more episodes now.)
DIZEY1 said
Vicki… that SUCKS 😛 Man doesn’t that make most of us obese if we wear what a size 10 or 12 OMG!!! Something is so wrong with this picture. It’s just so twisted and they wonder why young girls are bulemic, or have different eating disorders. Society is wacked!! No wonder people can’t see what’s inside they’re way to busy judging the outside to even know what’s on the inside. I’ve dealt w/my weight since puberty up and down the whole yoyo thing, and I LIKE ME NO MATTER WHAT SIZE I’M IN!! I’m sick of being judged by what size my freakin’ clothes are. What a sad shallow people we’ve become. I’m going to live in the jungle with the animals who don’t care if I wear clothes. They don’t judge. SORRY SORE SUBJECT FOR ME, IT’S THAT DAMNED FULL MOON TODAY******** I’ll be better after I have my chocolate Henry blow pop. 🙂 😉 😛 😛

Claire: It is beautiful.
Here’s some food for thought, some experience I gained by being a fan of JAG for 10 years. IF, and thats a big IF, if they let Vicki and Henry get together in the future it won’t be that long lived because most writers believe once you get the main characters together and happy the show is down the tubes. Fans of JAG waited for 10 LOUSY years for Mac and Harm to finally admit they loved each other, to bump ugles, and all that jazz. What did we get-9 1/2 minutes of the last episode. That was only because Don Bellasario is a gready XX@#@#### and knew that it would obviously boost the sales of the DVD’s. Soooooo, guard your emotions if we do get the additional episodes and if I’m wrong I’ll be happy to be the first to admit it.
I have to go mow some lawns. Back in an hour or two.

I just watched the Utube video..
Did you see how terribly sad both Vicki and Mike were at the end of Stone Cold.. Mike especially looks miserable..
I know that we’d all like to see Henry and Vicki get together, but Mike has love her for a very long time..
Another part of the video… when Henry is playing with Vicki’s hair… so sexy!
Do men get it that we LIKE them to gently play with our hair???

The first hour was what I expected you get a drink (Non alchaholic in my case) and you walk around introducing yourself, chit chat, small talk….then we were told to collect our cards and we were about to begin…if I had know this would be one of those speed dating things I would have said no – but trying to be a good sport I fell in line with everyone else, got some cards and a pencil and went off to stand with the other ladies – I felt horrible, sizing my self up to them – most younger than me by at least 10 years (twinkies!) – so the rules – the ladies sit and every five minutes a new guy sits in front of you and with in five minutes you are to figure out if you would like to spend more time with this peson…five minutes – thats only 2 and a half minutes each, if no one monopilizes the whole five minutes ( I had two who spent the whole time talking about themselves) – so then you make notes on your cards and RATE the person – at the end the cards are collected and you get a list of who whats to meet you – then there is a a couple of hours for this extra meet and great with those people……OK at this point I am just going to say, I had 2 guys I thought I would like to talk to some more – I got no requests to meet – thus NO MATCH! and to make matters worse they give you the comments! Apparently I am “too independant” “too aggresive” one put down that I did not appear to be “fit”(ok that was a weight slam!) and another put down that I “had no religious beliefs and as such was non compatable” – he came up with that in 5 minutes? I didn’t even remember saying anything about religion!, I threw the cards away not wanting to read the rest of the comments…one of the guys was just so …grrrrr…I don’t even have a word – we’ll go with JERK! – he sat down and said right off the bat “I don’t think you’re my type” and then just sat there until the bell rang to move….I couldn’t even say a word for fear I was gong to “rip him a new one!” and I was trying to stay positive – there were 20 guys meeting 20 girls – and he was only #6 – so I tried not to take it out on the next guy, or the next, guy, or the next guy, all the way to #20…….needless to say I was ready to leave at the last bell – but since I went with some one, and there was always the chance that maybe one of the two I selected would select me, I stayed – besides I don’t drive and I was captive.
So after the “results” were handed out I had to wait on the person I went with as she had received 5 matches and wanted to meet each of them for a little more talking before we left. (it got a little weird then because some of these people got multiple matches so everyone was “flitting” from group to group) I walked off and found some place to sit away from every one. Rode home in silence – with her appoligizing the entire time….I was good and didn’t take it out on her – thus the silence treatment – I was afraid if I opened my mouth I was going to tear her to pieces…shes nice and didn’t deserve me “biting” her so I kept my mouth shut and let her continue to talk until she realized I wasn’t going to say anything back and stopped. When she dropped me off I said I was sorry for being a *B* on the way home but that I really didn’t want to dicuss it with her (she met someone(S) and I wish her the best) so now I feel horrible about myself and its going to take me the rest of the night to get rid of the incredible need to punch something – let me tell you if the tv/digital thing doesn’t work – I just might put a hole in the wall – I took the bag of chocolate truffels out of the freezer – the whole bag – what evers left is going to be gone tonight! (I freeze them so that I don’t eat the whole bag at once). At least this was an early thing and I have time to calm down before bed! I want to cry, scream, lock myself away and never come out! Dont worry I will be ok – this will only last over night – I’m better then this and right now, hurt though I am, I am better then any of them could possibly know and not one of them knows – in FIVE MINUTES – how wonderful I AM….right now I am not even considering match.com or eharmoney because I’m not ready to go through this again – maybe after I get my raise (and can afford a service) and have had a month or so to just stop thinking all men are pigs – except Henry , Kyle and Paul – ok maybe not Mike….
AUUGGGGG…Ok I feel alittle better just venting – I know my friend who asked me to go with her friend will be calling – but if I talk to her tonight I just might hurt her so I’m not even answering my phone – right now I might hurt anyone I talk to……
Thanks for listening!
Sorry if I bent your ear off but I just had to get this off my chest!

msgypsy,
>> Would those of you who are discussing paranormal things, and the ones discussing their Henry dreams, like your own topic area for this?
nahhh, that’s okay. I do skip over the ones that end up on other topics (not much time to fully read everything anyway). Plus, some conversations overlap into each other. I’ve been on other web forums where if you veer totally off topic, some folks get a serious scolding. Other forum web sites are more tolerant and lenient, and most things swing back to their original topic anyway.
It’s sometimes fun to go off on those bunny trails.. been guilty of being there myself (I think there’s 3 of mine on another forum just like that), but that’s because the moderators would get just as sidetracked (and sometimes the moderators themselves or one of their friends/buddies start the bunny trailing, too!). It sometimes -also- makes the conversations more interesting in the long run.. things you’d never know or learn about otherwise. 😀
had seen that experience on a religious topic that morphed into Poccono honeymoon suites, illegal videos (taped of the couples in their rooms), and then morphed into vampires for a few postings, and BLOOD TIES, and then morphed back into its original topic. Oh, that was a *FUN* topic! People actually *learned* things in there too (things like- if you weren’t sure if the management was filming your more *intimate* moments, then stay far away from those motel suites with the heart-shaped tubs and mirrors on the walls and ceilings!).. (eek!!)
Back to this particular blog set-up, if I don’t have enough time, or feel like bypassing stuff in between, I’ll just skip past until something does stand out of interest. As long as I know what the paragraphs venture into somewhere near their beginning, I don’t get too lost. (hmmmm, that reminds me of my dream – getting *lost* in Canada!!) 😉
there goes another bunny trail..! 😮

One more comment on the music video…
Did you see how wonderfully BLUE his eyes were… when he and Vicki were at the bar having drinks and he was taking her olives?

lwildstar: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Remember what doesn’t kill us, makes us strong. Its their loss that they didn’t take the time to get to know you. This is a superficial world. Its hard to be comfortable in our own skins when everyone is trying to make us unhappy with them. I think we are able to cope with ourselves we might be able to cope with others. Go check out that Fat Rant on You Tube. There are beautiful larger women out there-we are them. And, don’t resort to eating because you’re feeling bad, its like a drink, you’ll regret it in the morning. We are large, hear us roar, if you don’t like it, kiss the floor…..

AlisaSG said
about actor heights, this is what I think I read on one of the Blood Ties sites
Dylan = approximately, 6 feet 1 inch
Kyle = approximately, 5 feet 10 inches
Christina Cox = around 5 feet 6 inches.
Sometimes Vicki looks darn near Henry’s height, so either Kyle is slouching back slightly or heels are in there.
As for clothing sizes, I’ve never seen a size 3 on me.. bypassed that somehow. I started at a size 5 and thought that was small, until I found out my (older) sister wore a size 3..!
———-
Margaret,
>> I mean, what size is Vicky, really? Her butt is smaller than one of my thighs. Anyone want to venture what size she is?
She’s probably close to a size 0 or 1. I only noticed it when she was Norman-Vicki teasing Henry with the hip wiggle against him. Everyone else was watching that scene for its intended implications. I couldn’t believe her jeans were that small (flat abdomen!).. OMG, she’s tiny!!
BTW, there *was* a moment in that same scene where Kyle/Henry looked like he just lost his grasp of the situation for just a few mili-seconds, and fell into human-mode before he regained control and had to speak his lines again.
..just an observation.. *g*
———-
Rifkind,
>> Did you see how wonderfully BLUE his eyes were… when he and Vicki were at the bar having drinks and he was taking her olives?
It’s the fluffy hair that (I think) helped immensely in that scene.
He’s at one of his most *adorable* photographic moments in there.

His eyes were sparkling (that look of LOVE).

I ‘m sorry to hear that the afternoon was such a downer!
The truth is that many of us older and larger ladies wouldn’t do too well, if we were to be rated on a 5 minute dating scheme..
I am glad to see that you finally got your Avatar to work! Yippee!
I hope that your digital cable experience is better than my attempt to get DSL..
My modem was supposed to be already configured etc., etc… well just when I started getting it to work… it locked up my computer..
I have wasted ALL afternoon messing with it.. and on the phone with my internet provider help line at least 4 different times… we finally determined that it is a BAD MODEM! UGH!!! What a waste of a perfectly glorious Saturday!… New modem ships on Monday… let’s see and with Wednesday as a holiday.. are we taking any bets as to WHEN I will get the new one??
SO technology has me bummed today..
Later Gals!

Thanks ladies..my pleasure to share anything with beautiful Kyle/Henry in it!
But I also loved the song..it suits Henry…Deliver me from this sadness…deliver me from all this madness…just wanted to hold him and make it better LOL!!!
Iwildstar…((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))!
It is not you…it’s just men…some men anyway…and I don’t think it’s about weight either…I am 5ft 8 in…weigh 145..size 6…I’m pretty fit..and look 35 not almost 49….and I’m alone…I feel just like you…and sometimes I see couples where the woman is heavy and her man is all in love and you can see it,and I think…they say there is someone for everyone right? so he just hasn’t come along yet.You should love yourself! you should be strong…and if a man can’t deal with that then like Madonna said he can kiss the floor…well I’m not that nice…they can kiss my derrière!
Remember what Henry said…Beauty fades…if some men out there can’t see that then…to bad for them.
I know its not the same…but hey… I love you! 🙂

Lwildstar – I am so sorry for your bad experience. Unfortunately, a lot of these singles mixers attract a lot of loosers. Who in the heck are they to judge you???? There is nothing wrong with you. Pursue your passions and you’ll meet the right person.
Alisa – I’m definitley going to try cinnamon. I have a huge sweet tooth. Is that one word or two? Oh, who cares. Anyway, sweets are my downfall when it comes to weight, and would love to loose about 20 lbs.
As for getting sub-categories of this blog, I like keeping all the discussions together, but I guess it’s up to the queen of the blog, Ms Gypsy.
Himmiefan said
Oops, forgot to add, Christina is waaay to skinny!
Now, for things we’d like to see next season, I really do think that the two guys from the comics store would be good foils for Henry. Seriously. They could know about him and assist him with whatever every now and then. Their dorkiness would be a cute contrast to Henry’s yumaliciousness.

lwildstar said
no the digital thing didn’t work – in fact they sent a test signal twice and when it didn’t return the CSR scheduled a tech to come out monday morning – of course half my office is on vaca next week so I had to call my mom and beg her to come let the cable guy in beecause I can’t take the morning off….thank god for moms! I had to pull all the cables and set it back up for regular cable so I can watch tv tonight.
yes I have calmed down – I was just really mad – I hadn’t felt that bad about myself since Highschool…I was good and only ate one truffel while I was on the phone with the digital tech, after which I climbed into a bubble bath.
Aren’t bubble baths amazing? – they just wash all that stress away. So tomorrow is another day, and I am just going to put all this garbage behind me.
Thank you for your lovely comments – for putting up with my rants – and for just being there!
Margaret – when I got DSL it cut off my phones for a day and a half – they had to send a tech out and he discovered that when they set me up the account had turned into some crazy “party line” – you know what I mean – other people were making calls to one number but ending up on my line – I logged 7 different phone numbers that I recieved calls for! at one point I could here both sides of the conversation!
Question – I havent had a chance to go back and check yet, but in epi 7 after the fight with the windigo when Henry is hurt and refuses Vickis offer to feed him – he goes downtown to “grab a bite” – the question is – was the girl Sinade? (sorry don’t know how to spell her name) there was a clip of that scene in the video Clair posted earlier and It looked like her, but I wasn’t sure….if it was, then the boy needs smaked for running to her – dispite his need to feed (his need for speed?) whatever. after the way she acted in epi 5 – and appearently after what he said about her magicing him…..
I think I am going to go write for awhile, I left one charactor near death and I guess I should go rescue her…and then go watch some Henry. 🙂

Lwildstar, those dating things sometimes attract people with odd preconceived notions about the people they’re going to meet. I’ve never been to speed dating but I’ve been to a shadchen (a Jewish matchmaker, I kid you not, and my mother the atheist funded it!) when I was in my thirties and she had a really hard time with me because I was older than the men wanted, I smoked and I wasn’t athletic. The men who were interested in me were all much older than I and all of them were deeply observant religious Jews. Not being one myself, it didn’t work out. Even after I quit smoking, the only men interested were looking for a homemaker to be mother to their children. (Divorce is weird in the orthodox world.) Since I had just been hired as a supervisor with a Citicorp affiliate, I wasn’t anxious to turn into that kind of a person. She ended up refunding my mother’s money and saying how sorry she was FOR MY MOTHER!
Okay, the button is now un-pushed.
At rehearsal last night I announced that I was willing to go on blind dates but only with men in the SCA. No one batted an eye, but no one offered any suggestions. But they’re all going to keep eyes and ears open.
I just finished downloading all my podcasts for next week and thought of something. No one is doing a podcast about Blood Ties. I can’t think of enough to say to fill a podcast, but someone with better skills than mine might do a hell of a job with it. Someone on the Bloodlines site ought to be the one to do it since they have all those great interviews but I don’t ever get to that site anymore.

“It’s a new interview. No word unfortunately from Lifetime, but Peter did have a lot of other info, like who the set prankster is. (Come on, you don’t really need more than one guess, do you?) Also, unfortunately, you have to listen to a lot of other stuff before the interview begins. Anyway, here’s the link again, if you want to hear it.”

Ms. Gypsy – I missed our weekly visit! Are you around this week?
Elizabeth – Lunch soon? I’m not going anywhere for a while so pick a day. I hope your mom and teen have mended fences. My heart and prayers have been with you.
Beth – How’s your dad? I hurt for you sweetie. You’ve been in my prayers for weeks and I will keep you there.
Now, I have to go rescue a bunch of teens from a birthday party. The parent who volunteered to take everyone home forgot they were supposed to do it. It is now two beers too late for him to drive any of them anywhere. Thank God they called me!
See ya’ in a while!

Hi Ya’ll checking in before beddy bye 🙂
Hey Laurel, glad you’re back missed you ! Thanks for prayers they finally set a date to remove the leg, well part of it. Just that it’s taking so long he’s come to the realization of the amputation but now we have to wait. Anyway we’re good God’s taking care.
Iwildstar.. there are no words. Yes there are jackass, there’s a word for them. I had my rant earlier, part of it’s the full moon the other part is people are shallow, and heartless. That’s there problem, and BAD KARMA. Mom always said what goes around comes around. NO ONE CAN HAVE THAT POWER OVER YOU TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE LESS!! Guess what they CLEARLY would not like my aggressive, opinionated self. We love ya, and no judgements here. Sleep well have sweet Henry dreams ….McLusty dreams 🙂 😉
I’ll catch in the morning, so glad you’re back Laurel…………

Claire, I’d say they can kiss my derierre too.
lwildstar,
Here is a big hug for you. >>>>>>>>>>
I sounds like you had a day like I had a couple of weeks ago. Don’t feel inadequate. The very idea of speed dating is superficial. I mean how much do you really think that you can get to know someone in five minutes? You are smart. Heck, you just got promoted at work. You are extremely talented, we all know that, and you are kind to others, we know that as well. What they said might hurt, just like the moo guy hurt me. But who needs them. Just look at this way, you just eliminated 20 guys standing in your way during the journey to meet your soul mate. God knows you and that is all that matters.
I don’t want to depress anyone on here but what I have to say in the next paragraph goes a long way in explaining who I am. Please don’t hate me for bringing everyone down.
Yeah, I’m fat, I have health problems out the wazoo, and I am shy. You all know that. I actually downplay my shyness alot though. Since I was 13 I have had terrible bouts with major depression and anxiety. Social anxiety disorder to be exact. I don’t drive either. I have a car I bought brand new in 2002. I drove it for 6mos. and then everytime I got behind the wheel I’d get a panic attack. I haven’t driven since. The S.A.D., appropriate name by the way, has made me shy away from life in many ways. I have aquaintances, but very few people in my life in the way of close relationships. That’s why this blog and everyone here means so much to me. It was difficult beyond words for me to find the bravery to come out of “hiding”. My mother is proud of me by the way. I’ve been lonely for years and she is the one who has been there with me through all of the crying and the self doubt. I’ve given her almost every one of her grey hairs.
Ms. Gypsy’s comment earlier about her dating fiascos with older men was what finally made me bring this up. About 4 years ago I went to see a therapist. I was all of 24 at the time. I realize that she was trying to help me but when she recommended that I start looking into dating men in thier sixties and seventies, I wanted to slap her. Her exact words were, “Men that age are always looking to date a younger woman.” I realize that some women do it, but why would I want to attach myself to a man who is old enough to be my grandfather and probably already has one foot in the grave. Did she think that would brighten my mood? Is that all that is out there for me? I THINK NOT!!!!!!
My life goes on and every step forward that I take brings me closer to my destiny. God knows me too and that is all that counts.
I’m sorry everyone. Please don’t kick me off the blog. I like you all.
On a happier note… I got desperate and watched Sisterhood Of Traveling Pants tonight. Kyle said all of 4 words in the whole movie. On the plus side though, he did get to stand around looking beautiful alot.
Margaret said
Iwildstar: I tried the link too and it didn’t work. If its the same podcast you can get it and all the others over at sci-fi talk. They have the ones for Kyle, Christina, and Dylan. Not sure about Tanya. Have to go back and look.
Margaret said
I think we all need to get comfortable with where we are now-try to dress properly and attractively, as much as we can, but we shouldn’t settle. We should want to get healthy, not so we can get stick thin but romanesque. Most men love a gal with curves. These skinny gals, you blow on them and they fall over. And like Henry says something to the effect of when beauty fades, and it will, you need to have something more……. We are intelligent women who are surrounded by a superficial world. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, if God brings you to it, he’ll bring you through it (one of Kyle’s favorite sayings). We can not let these people determine the course of our lives-we all need to go out and try things-we’re only here once. Do we want to stay it the house and never experience the world (not saying that to offend because I need to get out as much as the next person).
Sometimes when you look too hard the very thing you’re looking for aludes you. Sometimes when you least expect it, it will show up. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”.
We all need to stop giving these people consent. Stop giving them space in our minds.
Forgive me, I’m now stepping down from my soapbox.

I hope that by hanging out with us here at Gypsy’s, that you know by now that we will not be judgemental. I also sincerely hope that if we can all get together sometime..like at Tango’s next summer… that you tackle your anxiety and come meet us for a real face-to-face. That way we can all {{HUG}} you and let you know that you have some great lady friends.
AlisaSG said
whoah. I think my longer post(s) make up for any lack of avatar or picture link
(and that’s only because I’m trying to cram everything into one post)
———-
lwildstar,
I haven’t been able to read thru your entire dating post, but there always seem to be problems with dating services of any kind. I was fortunate to find my hubby when I reached 21 years old, and lived with the stigma that
“there were plenty of fish in the sea,
but none of them were ever for me.”
3 different guys (locally) who I considered dates before I reached 21 years old, each had their problems. My hubby was # 4 (out of that dreaded things coming in 3 loop!)
1st was bisexual and never admitted it openly (just stupid, obvious hints)
— when he brought his boyfriend on one “date” and they threatened to play with each other’s u-know-what in front of me, that’s it! Aside from that, I didn’t want to end up part of a 3-some. Sorry guys, I just wasn’t quite into that sort of thing. And for first guy dating impressions, that certainly did NOT help!!!!!!! Hot potato.
— When he didn’t take *no* (abstinence) for an answer, he let me go, but the idiot came back a year later and tried other ways to “woo” me. Have no idea why. When I heard he was still attached at the hip with his “best (male) friend” I decided, still “No”. Plus, he liked to pinch really hard. I could see a lot of pain in the future for me, if all of that continued. Plus, he stole my money. Asked to borrow everytime he needed to buy something. Never paid me back. I’d rather he never bothered trying after that. Just go away… PLEASE!!!
I thought to myself he’d be better off marrying his boyfriend, instead. That was several years before the term “homosexual” and “gay” came out into the public news.
———-
2nd guy drank (alcoholic).. figured if it wasn’t liquor, it’d be beer and drunk most of the time.
———-
3rd guy was just a jerk. Cute eyes, but rotten under the surface.
It was a reverse (vampire) Christina/Henry relationship there. He was very nice to me, until he took advantage of my (love for him type) “feelings”, and then walked away. He seemed to also be a mama’s boy. Never left his parents’ home, because his daddy had money and he didn’t. I felt betrayed like Henry felt in STONE COLD in his conversation about how one-sided his relationship was with Christina.
———-
I’d like to say there is hope down the line. Just don’t let the jerks take advantage of you. When the right one comes along, you’ll know it, but even then long-term commitments take work. My hubby and I knew within 3 days we were “meant” for each other. We had a lot in common, but as I said, marriage takes work. We were both on our best behavior during our fiancee’ing months, but the real us (our worst sides) showed up more after we said “I do” at the altar..
That’s the part that takes work in marriage. Peculiar thing about our worst behavior sides, there were glimpses of that before we said our “I do”s in front of our families, etc. But both of us ignore those glimpses. Fortunately, it’s tolerable ..not soul-mate level, but not worth fighting over leaving each other. When we work on making our differences work for each other, that helps.
He’s still more handsome and has more lovable qualities than the rest of the other 3 put together..
😀
But he suffers from his own ego fears – that he isn’t handsome, and nobody would like him (so in that sense, we’re too alike). He’s a loner, but that’s him. I’ve seen his bad (moody) sides, and still love him regardless. Working thru our differences has helped. My mom felt that way with my dad. She figured even in the worst of his moods, she’d never divorce him, because that might make him happy. (Oy!) She actually outlived him by 20 years. My dad died from a major heart attack (and broken heart from being a workaholic and feeling useless in the working world) a year after I got married.
(more to come – continues in my next post)
Rifkind said
on MEN,
It seems that there are SOME men (not all!), who go through puberty, then 20’s and even 30’s and their ONLY criteria for girlfriend material is how they look, 5 minute dating gets them the opportunity to give 20 gals the once over and decide, IF they would want to sleep with any of them. NOT the best criteria for a long term relationship.
From Blood Lines
*=========================
Vicki: Yeah, what is it about being young anyways? Why are we always insanely attracted to the bad boy, hm? The bad girl.
Henry: I’m sure Brendan thought there was something more.
Vicki: Yeah, her looks.
Henry: Beauty isn’t everything.
Vicki: It’s a lot.
Henry: But when it goes, and it does, you have to have a deeper connection.
*==============================
My brother was that way.. married himself a “looker” who was as dumb as a box of rocks… (she didn’t know that our sun was a star!… oh boy!)
Anyway SHE moved on to what she thought was a better and richer man.
He hist his 40’s and felt that he would never meet anyone… then he made friends with someone on the morning bus.. she was plump, not date material, right?? Well after some time visiting as friends, it blossomed into LOVE and they are now happily married. SO the 20 year old version of himself would have never considered her , and the more mature 40 year old version has now found LOVE and a gal who thinks the world of him even if he isn’t rich.
There IS hope.

Oh and Ms.Margaret, Your b’day is July 1st. I’m on July 6th. You know we have quite a few cancerians here and it sure does explain alot about us and our likes and dislikes. What a trip. I’m taking off all next week I do every year and it’s so close I can taste it.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Margaret,
Let me clear my throat……
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Margaret,
Happy Birthday to you!
Have fun today!
Rifkind,
I do know that you all are not judgemental on here. I guess that is why I felt comfortable enough to make my earlier comment. It is just that I don’t like to upset or depress anyone. I’m kind of sensitive so I guess I look upon others as being that way too.

this is sort of a continuation.. on the subject of
“which fish in the sea is there for me??” and
the other subject donuts and our weight problems..
———-
Back to my hubby, even with our differences (not shared hobbies and things to do), we just celebrated our 27th anniversary. So, even if I deliberately went looking — I doubt if I’d ever find someone better than him. And even when I thought about any “what if” — someone of soul-mate status (same hobbies, same personality sharing abilities) came along — I’d probably find myself in more trouble that way. So, maybe its better to have nearly complete opposites attracting.
I certainly never thought of myself as hollywood beauty status, but my hubby keeps trying to convince me that I’m pretty enough for him, so there is no further argument needed. The only time I ever even considered divorcing was if he turned into a wife beater. A few times, he came mighty close, but he never did. He has a short fuse for a hot temper, but with tons of counseling advice – has learned to control it. It also takes 2 to start and finish an argument – so I’m as much to blame there, as well.
And for that he’s definitely not like my dad, who also had a short fuse/hot temper. It’s scary when you marry someone similar to the parent’s personality you most would prefer NOT being around. I never knew that before I got married.

(below >> info from me.. AlisaSG)
>> I certainly never thought of myself as hollywood beauty status, but my hubby keeps trying to convince me that I’m pretty enough for him, so there is no further argument needed.
Except I have to laugh about the donuts..
When I was eating too many and never gained weight, he swore (teased) if I ever got too fat, that’d be grounds for divorce.. Well, I married at 104 pounds (under 5 foot 2, and *sort of* petite). If I’m ten pounds heavier, that’s as high as I’d like to go. I’ve been at 124 pounds, and ended up getting sick. Every time that happened, I think my body was telling me not to do that. It wasn’t bulimia; it just seemed that there were too many bad foods in my system that my body suddenly rejected.. and was trying to tell me that.. it just took years for me to understand that message.
Finally, I’ve managed to cut out the donut hogging (and I’m talking a box of 12 honey-glazed air donuts.. all in there for me in one week). My hubby became borderline diabetic (another reason why he feels he’s not attractive) 😦
so he’s managed to restrain himself from any donuts I do bring home. It just seems cruel on my part to eat the donuts, but it’s also just as cruel not to be able to, too, if anyone can relate to that.
Actually, part of my weight problem stemmed from my hubby’s own donut days and bringing home bavarian cream and apple-cinnamon sugar donuts for me.. it didn’t help when I asked him to stop doing that, because it *might* make me fat.. but that was his way of bringing home *roses* to me.. He knew my adoration for sweets, and Ooooh yummy! I rarely ever turned a free donut down! 😉
And me being borderline hypoglycemic, I knew where my limits were. I just needed to overcome those evils when they’d puppy-dog me around. And seriously, since my dad used to ration out donuts, I over-indulged after I got married. I was in hog heaven! But oh did I pay for it with glucose problems! It wasn’t until many years later that I realized I had 2 family strikes against me-
my dad was hypoglycemic;
my mom turned into an insulin (needle injection) diabetic.
My grandfather lost his leg below the knee due to diabetes. He was a sugaraholic. For him it was too late. For me, it was a learning experience.
Now that my hubby has been “officially” diagnosed as borderline diabetic (he’s currently in the hypoglycemic category), he’s forced himself to start eating snacks geared specifically to diabetics. He wants to keep his limbs intact. His brother lost part of a leg (possibly family blood disorder related), so more inherited problems to keep on the alert about.
I actually went into the store yesterday and stared at some non-diabetic shortbread cookies.. and thought, no, I really like the diabetic ones, so I’d better stick with what we already had at home. These are life-changing things to decide upon, but it’s better than the alternatives (limb losses from gangrene, due to health disorders).

Okay, that Kyle is IMPRESSIVE. That’s a known portrait of Henry VIII. Kyle managed to show us a family resemblance even though, as far as anyone has said or we know, there is no line from the Tudors leading to Kyle.
If that’s the picture on Vicki’s desk, what’s the one on Mike’s desk? The exact same picture, so far as I can tell. Or else Dylan is substantially taller than the guy whose hand HE’S shaking in HIS picture.
I’m so glad I have this family to run to when the day is bad. Actually, I had a good enough day yesterday. But with the news on all day (I can’t stop whenever there’s a really major story like the one this weekend) I find myself getting really lethargic, which I think is my version of depressed. Love having my blog-kin to run to.
BTW, it’s now July. No word from Lifetime. They said they’d decide by the end of June. DAMN!!!!!!!

Madonna,

>> Also in this episode Henry tells Vicki, “Demons aren’t the only ones who hunt after dark.” Do you girls think that maybe he sometimes hunts his food like a traditional vampire when he can’t find “take out”? Is this a reference to his darker side?
..
..
My first reaction to Henry’s comment was similar to what Claire wrote,
Claire (posted June 30, 2007 @ 11:30 am)
>> Madonna…I took Henrys saying”Demons aren’t the only ones who hunt after dark” as there are human predators that hunt at night under the cover of night..pedophiles,serial killers etc.I think he was trying to convey that not just immortal evil is out there..but very human evil too.Just my view anyway.
..
..
Since Henry already told Vicki he, himself, was a vampire, I think it was already known or established within Vicki’s mind that Henry was automatically a creature of the night – so when else would he look or seek out “blood” to nourish himself with..?
Therefore, also because Henry read Vicki’s license as
“Victoria Nelson, P.I.”
..he realized then that she would be familiar with investigations and attacks that go on within a 24-hour day, so the comment was probably just a reinforcement reminder to her job about what other types of unsavory characters are out there – searching for victims under the cover of darkness. That is something she’d understand.
I did think *maybe* he might be referring to vampires (not necessarily his own vamp nature), but I thought (had a stronger feeling/vibe that) it was more about all of the other creepy *human* characters out there in our world with bad behaviors; and also more to reinforce that police investigation aspect, which Vicki is familiar with, than simply referring to just vampires and demons lurking in the darkness.
Himmiefan said
Okay, wait a second (sounds of dragging soapbox into place). Okay, let me climb up on this thing. All right, I’m here.
Now, Madonna, I’m sure you’re on antidepressants, but if you aren’t, try them. If you’re on one that isn’t working, try another. Depression is a physical problem just like heart problems, stomach problems, etc. My extended family has a long history of depression, so I know what I’m talking about. There is help and there is no need to suffer.
Now, physical activity releases endorphines in the brain. Try picking something that you enjoy and don’t worry about what others think. They don’t matter. It’s all about you and feeling better. Get you an MP3 player and load it with music that you like and play it while you’re doing whatever.
I myself need to get my backside in gear, so I’m going to start exercising more this week while I’m on vacation. I’ll pretend I’m trying to get into shape so we can go kick some monster butt. I’ll report back in my progress.
Okay, I’m getting off my soapbox. Oh! (sounds of falling off box)
Madonna said
Himmiefan,
Okay, I’m getting off my soapbox. Oh! (sounds of falling off box)
That made me laugh.
I was on antidepressants about 4-5 years ago. That was a low point in my life. I took Paxil first, which is supposed to treat the depression and the S.A.D. It didn’t help so they put me on Prozac. I took that for about a year, but they kept wanting to increase the strength and it made me so drowsy I couldn’t function. I haven’t been on anything since.
The past year or so, I have been coming out of my shell in little ways and that has helped my mood. What keeps me going is my faith and always having some little something to look forward to. That gives you a reason to face the next day.

that’s what I love about coming here, too. In spite of the creeps out there in the real world, coming here is a Godsend. And what’s even better is the shared emotional impacts that most of us feel about every day events, our own life’s encounters, and of course, BT – and the fun it provides to help us forget about the real world..
even if it’s just for a few fleeting moments in time. Those few seconds help tremendously.
Unfortunately, the evils and (real) murderers (specifically, current news “blow people up with exploding cars and packed explosives with nails” news included) in our real world live (thrive) to disrupt that peace within us and rob it forever.. they also seek to torment anyone living the life they’d probably rather seek and desperately want, but will never have, because it’s not in their nature to become a pleasant person and STAY that way.
They could, but they’re so conditioned into thinking peace comes thru violence, that it will always be an unreachable target for their own souls. Even if everyone was happy, the moment they find something they don’t like, they hold grudges and then plot to blow the person(s) they don’t like away. It’s partially a personality problem, but when it becomes a social entity problem, then the entire world (that could be affected) suffers.

It is the part where he said, “I know this city.”, like he is that familiar with the parks that made me think that maybe he was referring to himself.

not to sound too cliched, but *amen!* 😉
I think what I’ve written below sort of reinforces that, too. I was going to post it sooner, but my other post was already long, and then I saw your reply, and thought I’d wait and include it here..
———-
Himmiefan (mentioned),
>> Now, Madonna, I’m sure you’re on antidepressants, but if you aren’t, try them. If you’re on one that isn’t working, try another.
ummmm.. I worked in a medical environment, and that doesn’t *really* work. It basically masks deeper problems that never get resolved, and increased dosages usually occur because immunity factors kick in after a while. Your body builds a resistance after a while to any medication, and then you’ve gone full circle again with the same issues.
Anti-depressants are part of the psychotropic med chain. Masking the problems with a band-aid without a cure to heal the actual problem only leads to worse infections. That’s what drugs do. They become a crutch.
When pills become addictive and a crutch to solve other problems, that’s not living. My dad was on anti-anxiety meds, and it destroyed him. It was supposed to calm him, but it turned him into a monster. He beat his kids (us).
I used to get headaches at night and couldn’t sleep (mostly because of problems bothering me from during the day would haunt me all night long). My mom refused to give me something to sleep (sleeping pills). She said those things were too addicting and eventually useless. She was right. I found strength in not going that route. Now, even in the worst of my most frustrating moments, just leave me be, and I can fall asleep almost anywhere. REAL world news is another story. Then I need to rely on help from above (divine intervention help, that is).
———-
Too many kids today are either “pill poppers” or drug addicts (of the marijuana type). I keep reading about more and more kids hiding behind their use of drug abuse, because they’ve never learned to cope with the problems real life has dealt them with. They do drugs partly because they can, but also because they don’t know how to pull thru life when they can’t rely on anything.
That’s also why I think there are too many murdering monsters set loose elsewhere on our planet. They haven’t learned to live with each other, or have problems that Murphy’s Law rules, unless they over-rule Murphy’s Law.
During the 1960’s drug crazed hippy generation, a few of us survived without going on drugs. Yes, it was a hard battle. yes, you get ostracized because you’re not part of some clicky popular group. But that same clicky popular group is only held together by its *popularity*..
When a genuine *gem* steps forth – it goes thru a difficult transformation before it shines as a true gemstone. It starts out rough and sometimes feels ugly and unlovable. But then the rains and stormy conditions of life come, and wear down those roughened edges. If it stays within itself while under extreme pressure, it becomes polished and can eventually glow forth as a beautiful diamond (or whatever your favorite gem is). Even the flawed diamonds are still beautiful. They experience the same pressures, but with flaws and all, they still sparkle in the end result.
Hope that made sense and helps encourage some hearts.

Maybe last week I went looking for those family portraits.. I do know that when the casting directors look for talent, if it’s required within a script to do so, they do try to match facial characteristics with the talent. The actual portrait of Henry, Duke of Richmond, is similar to Kyle, but with slight differences.

rifkind,
>> Henry: I’m not going to be haunted by this.
>> Vicki: This is mine. Because I think you forget who you could be.
>> Vicki walks away and Henry turns to look at the portrait of his father before following her out.
>> Vicki’s conversation with Henry in STONE COLD ..about what he could become..
>> * ==========================
>> OK WHAT exactly does Vicki mean by this line??
>> Vicki: This is mine. Because I think you forget who you could be.
>> Does it mean that He could become as much of a killer as his father?
>> Or does she mean that because he has worked so hard to control the killer aspect of himself, and she doesn’t want to make him kill again.
I think it’s the first. Henry the VIII killed without a 2nd thought. When his wives didn’t produce a male heir that lived, he ordered their executions and had them killed. Based on the history tales told, he seemed to never looked back with any regret. He seemed to lack compassion, when his sole desired goal was not achieved. Thus, he became cold-blooded in more ways than one.
Which is sort of interesting when you think a vampire is supposed to be dead, meaning COLD-blooded. Tho his physical nature may imply there’s a cold body externally there, Henry, Duke of Richmond is not cold-blooded in his emotional heart. 😉
I think Vicki has learned to see *life* in our Henry (her Henry). She wants to see that goodness within him preserved. She’s even told Mike in HEART OF ICE that Henry isn’t a killer (in cold blood type). Vicki had enough faith in Henry that he wouldn’t kill her from being tortured and hungry in HEART OF FIRE, so I think that *COLD* blooded killer aspect is what was meant. That’s the angle I keep seeing during most of those framed family portraits (Henry filmed in the same view frame with his dad’s portrait).
Himmiefan said
Alisa – Oh, I definitely agree. Too many people think pills solve all their problems and don’t work on other causes of their depression. I just know that what my doctor said is that in my family, for those of us who suffer from depression, our brains don’t always make enough seratonin (seratonin, I think that was it). That was the physical problem I was talking about. Now, I’ve noticed with me, that my thoughts can trigger a depression episode. Say, I’m too negative (runs on my mother’s side, trust me!), I can work myself into a full-blown depression episode. I try to take a “reality check” and see whatever situation for what it is and not for what my attitude has made it out to be. I’m currently not on anything other than Saint John’s Wart (some people have reservations about that plant) because I solved one big problem in my life, work, and got a better job. My father, though, will always have to be on some sort of medication for the rest of his life.
Depression is just a very complicated issue. Now, I have a friend who goes to the other extreme and thinks that people are just weak, lazy, etc. After I got through hitting her (just kidding, but I wanted to), I told her she needs to research the subject before she talks about it again. I also reminded her that Christians, she and I are both Christian, tend to shoot their wounded.
Well, I’m off to put something on the scrapes from when I fell off my box. Ya’ll have a good afternoon!

I don’t know if those of you who went to hear the interview read this or not. But I think it is interesting. I was under the impression that the key months would be September and October. They say August & September. So either they’ve got their info wrong or they know something we don’t.
Interview: This week, we talk with Peter Mohan, Executive Producer of Lifetime Network’s “Blood Ties”, the successful television adaptation of Tanya Huff’s “Blood” series of novels.
The series is currently on hiatus from Lifetime TV in the US, with the channel planning on rerunning the first 12 episodes in August, leading up to the airing of the remainder of the first season beginning in September. This one fast became a “Slice of SciFi” favorite, so you’ll definitely hear from us when the show returns to the air!
I’m going to go take a nap now. My “son” kept us up barking last night until 4:30 am, and so far today he wants to be carried around on my hip. Strange behavior for him. Must have been the full moon last night.
By the way the moon here in KY was beautiful last night. Big and full and bright orange, just like on the postcard I designed.

about cinnamon as a (blood / sugar) glucose help.
here’s an article on it (at WebMD)..
http://diabetes.webmd.com/news/20060404/cinnamon-may-prove-useful-for-diabetes
My mom heard about this after it was too late for her. She couldn’t reverse her insulin problems. She also probably cheated more on her diabetic diet, when she took the cinnamon – because of it (thinking it would help delay the inevitable.. losing a limb like her dad.. she did eventually lose a few toes, but never healed enough for her skin to look *normal* after that).
Anyway, when she told me about it (long before the above article ever came out), I tried it. Reason why had more to do with me getting migraines almost daily, than having sugar problems. However, my mom sensed that the two might be related and suggested trying it. I did, and it’s helped.

Vitamin stores sell cinnamon in 500 miligram doses.
You can also get cinnamin in tastier treats just from eating everyday snacks – like cinnamon graham crackers (I discovered I hated the little log crackers, because they just tasted too bland to me!), and cinnamon twirls/danish (without the extra heaping, glazed sugar on top). Cinnamon Pecan twirls are really good if you’re NOT allergic to nuts/pecans. Cinnamon in applesauce is another good alternative.
I realized after I began adding the cinnamon treats into my diet, if I didn’t take the cinnamon before a certain hour during the day, by around 3-p.m., I’d have a massive headache forming. It consistently occurred every time I’d go thru that lack of cinnamon in the morning.
Now, it’s not as bad. I’m not sure if adding nutritional, protein supplements have helped, but the headaches occur more when the weather dewpoints and humidity get within 20 numbers of each other (doesn’t matter where on the scale, but it’s usually in the middle somewhere), or the barometric pressure reaches a magic number and is joined by the dewpoints and humidity near each other.
It can be a gorgeous, sunny day out, and while the world is happily singing, I’m looking for a dark corner to hide in with a COLD, wet rag to cover my forehead and eyes with.
I also discovered that the headaches aren’t always there any more for (menstrual) *period* reasons. If my glucose levels are within reasonable happy states, and the weather is co-operating, I sometimes never have any of the pre-menstrual headache or pain symptoms. Every other month this sometimes happens. But when the migraines hit – OMG!!! Pain city. Working on computers all day and straining the eyes adds to the aggravation, too.
AlisaSG said
sorry about the links .. it must have been the webMD popUp survey that kept breaking it off.. (not sure, don’t know.. and moving on) 😉
point to all that was if I wasn’t having a sugar induced related headache, it could be the weather being the culprit. When the weather wrecks havoc, That I don’t have an answer for just yet. I think I’ll just have to stay grounded on earth, and forget about some of us earthlings looking to find another planet to live on.
..it’s that *territorial* thing that gets to some people all the time. (So, in that way, Christina’s advice to Henry is true.)
Some (obsessed) people are cursed with it more than others.. but theirs is a cultural *territorial* obsession to take over the earth.
———-
I used to get homesick for pretty scenery, when we moved from the country into a more city-looking area.. but I think under the right conditions, it’d be possible to start life on another livable planet. I’m just not too sure about how air pressures and humidity and allergies would interact and react thru all those other processes. 😦

Listening to the Peter Mohan interview again – it doesn’t start until about 30 minutes into the whole talk show thing – HE even says mail post cards and get on LifeTime to make a commitment – shouldn’t that say something to them!
And Yes! Kyle is the set prankster – like we didn’t know that! And I must ask since Peter brought it up – ok which one of you is stalking Kyle? Appearently he has stalkers in LA and Vancouver….. 🙂
Oh FYI – in case you don’t “see” me much through the week anymore – the IT department is clamping down on personal use of of the computer during working hours (someone apparently downloaded something they shouldn’t have and then on top of that someone opened and email attachment they shouldn’t have – both caused major problems with our surver) so I will NOT be popping in except when I first get in in the morning and at lunch – can’t risk the new job – other wise I’ll see you guys after work.
Well now I’m off to clean!

I just interpreted that part as him living there long enough — that he was extremely familiar with the area – sort of like knowing every square inch of your own back yard — day and night. That’s how I took his *knowledge* of which parks look like what comment. Maybe Vicki is just more preoccupied with the people in those places, than the scenery within them.
Henry has had enough time on his hands to see the beauty. His instincts help him sense nearby danger. Whereas in Vicki’s situation, she’s trained to look for people doing routine things or abnormal things breaking from those routines, and might have missed some scenery details.. plus, she’s sort of half blind in the dark, or not used to it as much as Henry is. 😉

Claire, Margaret, and Elizabeth – I see you got Claires – I just resent Margarets and Elizabethes – check your SPAM and make sure thats not where they ended up – happens with attachemnts sometimes.
I’ve see the promos for both Moonlight and New Ampsterdame – Moonlight is the new vamp show – he gets turned by his lover who waits until after she turns him st exsplain she did so , so that they could stay together – of course he freaks out and dumps her – he becomes a dective and wokrs closly with the coraner to get his blood – he doesn’t bite – he injects – does that work? any who he’s very depressed
New Ampsterdame is the imortal looking for his one true love to free him from imortality – in the 1500’s? he saved an Native American princess/shaman? and she saved his life in turn by making him imortal…
I found the full previews on youtube a couple weeks ago…theres suposed to be one more vamp show coming out but I can’t remember the name or network.
Preped 10 more postcards to drop off tomorrow! LifeTime is running out of time I think…don’t they have to make a decsion by mid July?!
finished cleaning – watched episode 5 while cleaning so I was destracted – and now I’m going for a walk and maybe do some writing later, I think I figured out how to correct the mess I got my lead into last night – my bad mood spilled over into the story and rather than save her I made things worse! – the basement is actually hot today – usually its coooler thatn the rest of the house – so its not comfortable enought to stay down here for too long.
And on that note I am off to get some exercise!
Margaret said
Seems like now is the time to racket up our postcard campaign. Like the rest of you I’m tiring of writing but when Tuesday rolls around I’m going to buy some more. I don’t know why Lifetime refuses to let us know where they stand on this.
Was I hearing wrong or did Peter Mohan say that Kyle lives in Los Angeles now? Can’t you see it now-a large winnebago full of crazed blood ties fans. Couldn’t stalk him very well that way, could we. lol.
Margaret said
Madonna: You’re the best. I LOVE IT!!! I’m going to print it off at work (printer is better quality there) and post it at my desk so I can enjoy some serious eye rolling. lol. It made my day, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Himmiefan said
Oh by the way, a cute show that will help while away the time until Oct is a new show on USA called Burn Notice. It’s about a spy that gets fired by the CIA. He’s now forced to work as a private eye and suffer his hypochondriac mother. Cute guy.
Margaret said
Don’t know if Lifetime has been listening or not but it seems that Army Wives isn’t scheduled to be on as much as it has been.
By the way, when you write your postcards remember to NOT tell them how old you are. Remember they are coveting a younger demographic.
AlisaSG said
Margaret,
>> Wives isn’t scheduled to be on as much as it has been.
it could also be because this is the week of July 4th for the USA. Most folks are away on vacation, so the network may be adjusting their schedule for that reason.
Sci-Fi channel network does that on most USA holidays. Normally scheduled programs get post-posted for the horrid, holiday movie weekends. They figure most folks won’t be around to watch anyway, so why waste time to get potentially bad ratings. Even tho a faithful few viewers still might be around to watch, the majority are usually away visiting or camping or somewhere not near a TV set.
That’s been their logic for several years now. I’m guessing that possibly LIFETIME might be adopting that same stance for the same reasons.
Anyway, it still doesn’t explain why LIFETIME showed Army Wives 10 times in the same week (different days and different times to potentially find their most audience viewers watching it). I still say that’s why they’ve gained a higher rating. Plus, the real-world wars might be helping to promote its existence.
———-
When the (real-world) *war against terrorism* officially began in 2001, Stargate-SG1 skyrocketed into popularity on the Sci-Fi network, because it helped people escape from the realities of this life. Most of its audience was seeking to find a better life elsewhere in the universe. So, naturally, it became popular.
Yes, it had similarities into military intelligence factors, but the jist of the stories were more fantasy and discovery about the vast universe around us, and what might be out there — and on so many different levels. It’s a lot bigger than our “little blue planet”.. :p
It’d be nice to see a good program like Blood Ties appealing to more people for that very reason of escaping, as most of us here have found. Plus, there’s that additional common denominator of how alike most of us think or have had similar experiences. There’s a definite bonded, “Blood Tie” connection between most of us on these blogs. 😉
Margaret said
Don’t know if anyone has noticed but BT has a mininumal amount of cussing for a TV show. I can understand why Dylan Neal would want to say what he said when he got bit, oh fudge just doesn’t seem to do it.
AlisaSG said
dang! (ooops.. I can’t even copy and paste a direct quote properly)

that should be
>> ..it seems that Army Wives isn’t scheduled to be on as much as it has been.
———-
now, back to Blood Ties and other connecting thoughts..
😀
one of my greatest concerns is when Stargate became popular, suddenly, someone came along to bump it out of place. And suddenly, it seemed there was a conspiracy going on to shove it off the air the same year Stargate-Atlantis began airing.
If TPTB at Blood Ties can maintain the quality and pace that HEART OF FIRE had (and each story following, in its own way had something worthy within it), then BT could gain in popularity. I’m not so sure about the ratings numbers, because I think some of the other shows are *fixed* (or fraudulent totals). So, just as Stargate came under pressure – that is my concern for Blood Ties, as well.

>> .. BT has a mininumal amount of cussing for a TV show. I can understand why Dylan Neal would want to say what he said when he got bit, oh fudge just doesn’t seem to do it.
plus, Dylan’s reaction as Mike had a real life incentive motivating him behind the words, as well.. since he really got *chomped* on (not on purpose, tho).. *g*
AlisaSG said
okay, don’t any of you hate it when you write something down, and then see it later to possibly look like something else?
>> I’m not so sure about the ratings numbers, because I think some of the other shows are *fixed* (or fraudulent totals).
I meant that *fraudulent* as in other shows (NOT Blood Ties connected) – being other programs, such as Army Wives and BSG.. yep, (BSG) that’s the monster that started the whole SG vs. BSG wars. Seemed certain bully type personalities were mostly behind those attacks, too. Even if the BSG viewers who hated SG weren’t in the military.. they had military attitudes in their hearts, and no room for fleeting flights of fantasy.
which is what is holding me back from sharing BT on another web site. It’s already been mentioned, but apparently hiding under the wire, because the place is anti-romantic, and seems to be mostly pro-war-mongering, instead. And God-forbid TPTB start changing actors, because the person doing the role *wants* to leave. That’s the potentially automatic death knell for mostly every program I’ve ever watched.
— M.A.S.H. -Tv series (the colonel- McLean Stevenson as Lt. Colonel Henry Blake).. series amazingly survived, while other programs struggled when certain persons left.
— Stargate-SG1 (Daniel, {M.Shanks} who came back by demanding viewer vote)
— Stargate-SG1 (and Jack, {RDA} who was forced out of semi-retirement for viewer demand..)
— Xena (Gabrielle, {Renée O’Connor} thought grass was greener elsewhere)
I’m sure there’s probably a quite few others out there I didn’t mention.

Who threatened to kick you off the blog? I’m the only one who can do that and I don’t plan to. I air as much personal stuff as anyone!
Well, I’ll get another postcard in the mail… I was really hoping to have had news by now. 😦
Margaret said
You think that Lifetime is anti-romantic or Blood Ties is? Not sure what you mean.

Margaret said
Ladies: I’m disappearing for an hour or so. Have to cut up some fruit, watch Heart of Ice and write some more postcards.
lwildstar said
MS Gypsy – no one said anything specific – maybe I read some of the post wrong – I got the impression a while back that there was some grumbling about “straying off subject” ie Blood Ties…..and we’ve been venting a lot about personal stuff lately……so I just put that out there… 🙂 I know you are very understanding with us or you would have shut us down long ago!
I just popped in before going to bed to see what was up – looks like Margaret and AlisaSG were the only ones around after a logged off this afternoon…
Been thinking about the whole Vicki / Henry doing the horizonal mambo and I’m torn – while I really would like them to get together (can you imagine! – the tvs across the world would melt!) I have noticed on other shows that as soon as the leads break the sexual tension and give in – the show goes down hill, sometimes alarmingly fast…I would hate to see that happen to Blood Ties – the tension is such a big part of the “back ground”. However that still leaves the whole Mike issue hanging out there….
Well I have spent the last hour and a half writing and now I’m all stiff so I am off to bead…
Happy Henry dreams!
msgypsy said
Are there still people trying to get episodes 1 and 2? If so, please email me at ms.gyspy@gmail.com because I think I’ve found a solution for you.
I got sunburned at the river today, but we did get to show the 6 year old what happens when a big ship goes through a small channel. She was cynical and underwhelmed about most of the stuff we showed her. “Oh, so it’s a cow. Oh, so it’s a sheep. Oh, so it’s a llama. Oh, so it’s a hawk. Oh, so it’s a tree taller than anything I’ve seen in New Mexico. Oh, so it’s a big river.” But the waves, THAT got her attention. And she wanted to know why it happens and damned if not one of the six adults present could answer that.
Well, we had a lovely dim sum brunch and I’ve just eaten a small bowl of locally grown fruit but I think real food is called for now so I’ll be off to eat. Type at you all later.
Madonna said
While I was in line at the grocery store today I was flipping through an entertainment magazine. There was a short clip about them making a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Part 2. It said all the stars were returning and that filming started on June 3rd. Kyle Schmid said he had two movies in the works. I wonder if he is going to reprise his role as Paul? If so, hopefully he’ll get more than one line and will be able to do something other than stand there and look pretty. Not that that is a bad thing.
Anyways, I’m just speculating.
Well I’m off to bed for the night. In order for us to have the 4th off we are on early deadline and we have to have both Monday’s and Tuesday’s work done tomorrow. It is going to be a long day and I still don’t think I am sufficiently recovered from last week.
Goodnight.

Margaret,
>> You think that Lifetime is anti-romantic or Blood Ties is? Not sure what you mean.
no. Not Blood Ties. the people who watch BSG are anti-romantic, but PRO-militant. They’re the ones who’ve been complaining about Stargate (still) being on the air. Then there’s that other group who don’t like their favorite “fly-boy” (John Sheppard on SG-Atlantis) going on flirting sessions with various ladies of the galaxy, whom he’s only just met..
that’s the kirkitis group (Star Trek – Captain Kirk).
(I read the sci-fi boards more than I probably should. It gets tiring after it’s the same crowd changing their names to make it look like more people are complaining, because they’re either into the above group categories, or into violent video games with the ADD or adult-ADD syndrome.)
Either way, both groups are anti-romantic and ALL sci-fi, but militant sci-fi, and complain whether there isn’t or is *kissing* going on.. I’m dreading if any of them ever get involved in a few eps of BT’s they’ll crucify Henry worse than Mendoza. The super militant ones are the ones who have short attention spans. They tire easily after a few eps, and then start demanding for the show to get pushed off the air. Unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen more times than I’d like to remember.
I’m not sure if those people are just instigating bad reports for the sake of being really cruel, or if they’re part of an actual Network Channel’s scheme to test how truly *faithful* viewers are to whatever it is they are watching. Sometimes, I think it’s both reasons..
Except I do know one person who isn’t part of a Tv Network, and she’s pro-BSG *militant* minded — simply because she likes to be rebellious and cause trouble (claims to like hell, too, because she doesn’t believe in it, so if that speaks volumes right there.. that might explain her POV’s better). Then, sometimes she’ll say she’s just teasing for the sake of watching how different people react to their *favorite* programs. In situations of encountering people who are similar in attitude to hers, it’s often too difficult to know what is truly in her mind and heart. She’s really good at deception, in other words. But I do know she’s definitely pro-BSG and anti-SG. “Pro-kick butt” and shake up any potentially long-term romances.
Hope that explains it better.

He even said we should do play dates with the kids…now don’t you all go out and start plotting stories…we are just friends…but my kids love him..and he loves them…he was in the pool pretending to be a shark..all my kids and his on his back and he was just fine with it…and not just pretending to like them.
I hope we become good friends…watching the kids play with him was nice…and some adult convo doesn’t hurt!
Anyway as usual..I’m the last one to shower…so I’ll say
Bonne Nuit Mes Amis
Je t’aime tous

I am going to work on Tanyas card at lunch today and possibly tomorrow I want to get it out this week
Last call NightWalker0001@aol.com
to clarify my coment about please don’t kick us off for getting personal – somewhere in reading through old post a saw some comments about us getting off subject and recently we have been getting personal (especially my rantings) – I just wanted to be sure that no one was really upset about that.
will check in at lunch!
Chery said
Good morning fellow Blood Ties Addicts!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
How about this as a goal…… I posted this on the Lifte Time Blog also.
Everyone send in at least 10 postcards a day this entire week. I would bet we could send in way over a l,000 cards if we all did this.
Hopefully it would get the message to Life Time.
I just feel that a second season is slipping away.
Maybe Lifetime is getting cold feet because of their sucess with Army Wives. It has had the best ratings of any show Life Time has ever aired.
I hope that Life Time would not be so stupid as to throw BT away.
Any way I just finished my first 10 this morning and I am going up to the post office to send them off.
Have a great day everyone!!!!!
Danielle said
Hey ya’ll. I’m back!
Ok that has got to have been the most boring race I have ever seen. Where were the crashes?! Not that I want to see anybody get hurt or worse but usually when there is a crash no one is hurt and the crashes make the race exciting. There was one crash and that was near the end of the race. The most exciting part was like 6 laps before it was all over Jeff was in 3rd. He flew past the 1 car, Martin Truex, Jr, to take second place. The 11 car, Denny Hamlin, was in first Jeff was TRYING to pass him when they crossed the finish line. I was yelling “Jeff where are your balls? Just floor it!” Needless to say Jeff came in 2nd. I am so friggin sick and tired of watching him come in 2nd.
Another really cool thing is after the race my dad and I went down to where my sister and her boyfriend were sitting and we are talking waiting for the place to clear out and Kyle Petty walked right by us. My dad was looking down on the walking area in front of the stands. He heard everybody yelling Kyle’s name and he was not expecting him to be coming from there down the stands. I swear he is so clueless sometimes.
Also on the way home last night we passed Denny Hamlin’s car carrier. That was cool to.
Beth I have pictures I can email you. I took some pictures of Dale and his car if your brother wants to see them. If anybody else wants to see them I can email them to you too. You all don’t seem like Nascar is your thing but if you want to see anyway let me know.

Just mailed my 10 postcards off this morning – will try and make it to the postoffice to pick up more tomorrow!
ok yes I’m not suposed to be here but the printer is taking FOREVER and I just had to check in while I waited.
DIZEY1 said
Good morning, I slept in till 8:30 late for me. Woohoo!!
Dani, very cool email to me at home ok?? My brother will love them. Sorry not more excitement there.
Gonna go mail off more postcards today and to the gym, and finally take Logan swimming. We hung out in the pool all day yesterday too. I’ll check back a little later to see what ya’ll are up to.

Ofcourse we ended up at a strip club at some point, saw i guy withthe biggest $^%$#%$&%#& you ever saw ROFLMAO……not a big strip club fan , but i guess part of the girls night out this bride wanted 🙂 Stayed at the chateau sonesta…nice hotel…lost $120 at harrahs :(..that is my katrina fund contrubution :)….had way to many shots of something, can’t remember what!But my boobs hurt like hell, i am still breastfeeding a 15monther but my boobs act like she was born yesterday!!!! got and was so glad to see her, plugged her on tha boobage in a hurry ,fast!!!

elizabeth said
Wow, I know I keep saying this…but, you guys are active over the weekend and it takes awhile to catch up:)
First off, I have added a BT convert…my 75 year old mother!! I have been talking about the show while she has been staying with me recovering from her surgery and was having serious withdrawal because I hadn’t been able to watch it lately. Anyway, she noticed my lovely braclet (thank you lwildstr) and I explained how it came about. I have all episodes on my DVR and one afternoon she started watching the movie. Ladies, her first comment was “he is such a cutie” referring to Henry. As soon as the show was over she wanted to watch the next episode and then the next…until we watched 5 hours of BT! Henry progressed from being a cutie to “that Henry is just luscious!”. And now my Mom refers to him as “our Vamp”. She totally loved the show. The next evening we finished watching the remaining episodes and she decided she wanted to order the DVD’s. She was not pleased that they are not out yet. So, Lifetime, forget your false demographics and embrace those of us outside those parameters!! My Mom is a convert 😛
Himmiefan – I watched Burn Notice and thought it was kinda cute. It looks like it has some potential and the main characters wry sense of humor kept me very amused throughout the show.
Margaret/Madonna – Happy birthday ladies!
Laure – I am leaving for vacation tomorrow, but will email when I get back so that we can meet for lunch. I hope your vacation was wonderful?
LH – Dude, I am glad you are back. We all missed you.
Himmiefan said
Morning ya’ll! Um, sorry. Afternoon ya’ll!! I’m on vacation!!! (happy dance, happy dance.).
I was just reading the posts about SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, etc. As a fan of all those shows plus Stargate Atlantis, Firefly (the best!!!), etc., I think there’s not enough kissy-face going on. I mean, in all those shows, they’ve got these gorgeous guys. Okay, so blasting the bad guys is important, but what do they do after that? I don’t want these gorgeous guys to go to waste!
I have to laugh because beneath my pearl-wearing, Junior League attending appearance, I’m a – brace yourself – girl geek.
Live long and prosper ya’ll.
Oh yeah, “tha boobage” is definitely going in our move!
Himmiefan said
Oops. That last word is “movie.”
lwildstar said
long day already – one of the girls here got “let go” so we took her out to lunch…I’ve got to get back to work now so ‘I’ll check in when I get home!
elizabeth said
Where did everyone go?
Danielle said
I’m here. Just kinda lurking, partly busy and partly because no one seems very talkative today.
Margaret said
Chery: Great idea on the postcards but I’m going to stop putting my name on all of them and start making them look different, otherwise they are going to think its one particular pathetic fan writing all of them.
Peter Mohan said in that podcast that Lifetime was premiering two other shows (other than Army Wives) and that he wasn’t sure whether that was holding up their commitment or not. He also suggested sendin postcards.
Tango said
Happy Belated Birthday Margaret! Be sure to check your e-mail!
Madonna – Happy Birthday to you as well, it’s in a couple of days, right?
Welcome back Laurel! You were missed! Didn’t you say you were going to camp? Did you get the care package I sent you? It had Mike in it! 😉 I remember going to camp when we lived up in Beaverton – not sure the name of the camp but it was over an hour away. Looking back on it, it was a pretty cool camp complete with horseback riding, swimming, a tree house, candle-making ~ but not enough to keep me from getting home-sick. I was only in second grade at the time and was a homebody. I made my parents come get me after 2 days. 😦 Was this a camp that your kids were attending?
LH – glad that you are back and feeling better. It sounds like you have been through a really rough time, and I know you are glad to be home.
Susana, so it sounds like you had a big time in the Big Easy. Loved the come back to the guy who wanted to see your goodies. How far is NO from you?
Lwildstar – sorry you had such a bad experience with the other day. At least you gave it a try and you can mark that off your list of things to do in your life. I’ve not known anyone that this dating strategy worked out for, so you shouldn’t feel bad. You have a lot to offer, so don’t sell yourself short. Reflect on the experience and learn something about yourself from it. We have very little control over what happens to us in this chaotic world, but we do have the power to control our responses to what happens and the attitude we present to the world. Know that beauty is more than just skin deep and do you really want someone who doesn’t realize this? So make sure that men can see the beauty within you (like we see) – it is the man who looks at the inside that you really want to spend your life with.
Laurel said
I didn’t get to the computer at all yesterday. Just trying to catch up on the laundry from a week of camping out made me crazy. The cats are following me everywhere, as if they think I might disappear again at any moment.
I have to go and get some more postcard and get my girls to write messages on them. It will give us something to do under the shade of the patio umbrella. They would like some new episodes too. I have converted six 17 year olds this spring and have offered to play episodes to all of my family. I am trying to get my sister involved, too.
elizabeth – we seem to have trouble connecting! I should now be home for most of the summer so enjoy your vacation and then call me. I look forward to meeting you.
gypsy – pick a day and we can get together again. I’m probably going to go out berry picking with my girls next week but that will only be one day. We pick raspberries and blueberries nearby, blackberries too if we remember to wear our long pants!
Well, I’m off to ride my bike with the girls. Good thing I don’t want to be in front of a tv camera ever again, no amount of bike riding could make that look good. 🙂
elizabeth said
Tango – Good advise you gave to lwildstr. It certainly applies to many of us. I have been learning to appreciate myself for who I am over the last few years and finally getting a little more comfortable in my own skin. I realized after my last horrific relationship that I couldn’t expect anyone else to value me if I couldn’t value myself. I shouldn’t expect validation from a man, because it is never enough. Truthfully, I am still finding my way, but I like myself and if the men out there can’t see me and appreciate what they see – then that is their problem. By the same token, I still struggle with shyness in social situations. Can we say…I’m complicated ;P
elizabeth said
Laurel – I am back in town on the 10th. Maybe we can meet on that Friday?
I am leaving work early today to pack – yes, I do procrastinate 🙂 My daughter and I are headed down to San Diego for a week to visit my sister. I doubt I will be able to check in with you all – so, everyone have a wonderful and safe 4th. I will catch up when I get back. Toodles.
Madonna said
Elizabeth, Tango,
Thanks girls for the birthday wishes, but mine was June 16th. Beth’s is on Friday.
Tango said
Elizabeth – God speed in your travels and I hope that you and your daughter have a wonderful trip to San Diego.
Laurel said
Tango – I was at a church reunion with my girls, sister-in-law and her husband and two girls, lots of people I have known all of my life. Also, lots of new people from around the NW. The camp is up in the woods in Washington State. Just an hour from my home. We had a little cabin with a space heater for the cool damp nights, and we slept in bunk beds. My back may never be the same. Meals are all seved in a big dining hall and we all take turns doing the dishes, restrooms, nursery… I had forgotten how long an 18-month-old can pitch a fit! My 17 says she will never be having any children! Yikes!
I feel like I have reconnected with my faith and many friends. We discussed social justice issues and many of us will be working with migrant workers, gay rights and other gender based issues, healthcare for children, just treatment for Veterans, and other issues. I have an unusual church that is more interested in peace and justice than in converting anyone to our particular faith.
Sorry, I get a little carried away, but I can’t stand to see people in power abusing others just because they can. It is good to feel empowered to make social changes – and to be heard,
I’m off the soapbox now. Guess it was my turn, huh. I hope no one is offended. 🙂
Tango said
Wasn’t there a birthday between Margaret and Beth’s?
lwildstar said
Elizabeth – you are no more complicated than me….at social gatherings I shrink, but put me on the phone (or blog) and you’ll know my entire life!
I tried that once just to see if meeting some one over the phone first so that they could get to know me with out any idea of what i looked like other than general description – we talked for hours everynight for weeks before I agreed to meet him – the first date was wonderful – we went to dinner and then to a park and talked until sundown when they threw us out! the second date – ALL HANDS! he even had the nerve to say that he had never dated anyone he hadn’thad in bed by the second date!….well now he had and didn’t know whta to do – I should have known he wasn’t all that when he got turned on by a rape sceen in the movie we saw! Eigth months later he calls to say that he had made a mistake – I agreed to meet him and then shot him down.
I guess at least I should be greatful that he “liked” me after he saw me – there was always the possibility he would have run away on the forst date – so I guess theres hope!
Laurel said
elizabeth – the 10th would be great.
Save travels to you and your’s and have loads of fun in San Diego. Wave at Laguna Beach as you go by, I have great friends down there.
Tango said
Laurel – just to let you know – the Ferrari is still is good shape. Nothing happened to it while you were gone. I know that was one of your requests before you left.
Laurel said
Safe travels! (Save pictures) hehehe!
I think my fingers are still on vacation. 🙂
Laurel said
Tango – knew I could trust you!
Chery said
Thanks Margaret,
I only put my name on one postcard, since then I do not. I write in red ink, print, use blue ink. But I copied the “Blood Tie” picture from the Blood lines Web Site and Theresa was nice enough to send me a template, and I have peel and stick “ties” so I peel one off for each card and send it in. Then I just print more when I run out.
Just think if all of us fans mail 10 postcards a day to LifetimeI think it would be close to 1,000 cards!
Folks this is driving me nuts!!!! I do not think that in my entire life I have wanted a show to have more seasons like this!!!!! And trust me I am a Baby Boomer so I have grown up with television.
I simply cannot believe that a network would cut off their nose to spite their face and not order more shows.
Why are they going all out and promote the show in September for the remaining 10 episodes if they are not going to continue????? That seems like a dumb business decision to me.
They know they can’t wait until the ratings come in by November to order more shows!!!!!!!

See yas later hopefully!

Chery: You’re not the only one this is driving crazy. I’m right there on the crazy train with you. And if I’ve said this once, I’ve said it a thousand times, after I got so invested in JAG and we got shafted by TPTB, I SWORE I would NEVER get that invested in a TV show again and here I am. Even though Lifetime tries to portray warm and fuzzies I think they make their calculated moves just like the rest of the businesses, although I find it more offensive when they should be more considerate of their viewers then most since they are the “womens” channel.
I’m not going to last until October ladies…..Help me….I’m sinking…….. If you find that I have passed away you will also find a note attached to my body saying sue Lifetime-they drove me insane with their refusal to give up information.
Margaret said
Off for a bit to write my 10 postcards. Back to the post office tomorrow to buy more.
Madonna said
Stay positive girls!!!
While it may be true that Army Wives has gotten better ratings everyone involved, the writers, Tanya etc… said that the show did really well. Maybe not a breakout hit, but really well. It did well enough for them that they picked up the last nine episodes of the first season. Overall it seems to have gotten positive reviews from the critics. The president of Lifetime herself said that come the fall they were going to center a whole evening around Blood Ties.
Blood Ties is a genre show and genre shows usually get lower ratings, at least at first, and I’m sure Lifetime realizes that. I am going to choose to believe that they are just getting all the legalities and fall line-ups straightened out before they announce their decision. They may have already have made a decision and just haven’t issued a press release yet. Who knows? Remember to them it is all about $$$$, not the passion behind the show.
Keep sending them the postcards and keep turning people. Tell every man you know who enjoys science fiction shows and convince them to give Blood Ties just one chance. High ratings in the fall will help too. I truly believe that if Blood Ties fails here in the US that it will be BECAUSE it is on Lifetime, because of the stigma connected to the network. A large majority of the population avoid it like the plague. They simply don’t know what a quality show Blood Ties is. Sad really.
KEEP THINKING POSITIVE THOUGHTS. Isn’t that what we talk about on here all the time?

DIZEY1 said
Lady Madonna……..AMEN to that !!! Very well put and I myself have no doubt that we will have many seasons to come. It’s such a big business that we’ve got to unfortunatly wait for the good stuff to come. It will come. We will have more Henry and Vicki and Mike. Be positive ladies send good thoughts and vibes out and we’ll reap the rewards. Ok ya’ll probably think I’m some kind of freak, but mark my words It will come. 😛 🙂 😉

And a few Henry shots for good measuer..

well the digital cable didn’t work – it was working when the tech left – my mom witnessed it – but by the time I got home – nothing – I spent an hour on the phone with them and now I’m waiting another hour to see if it will reset – another tech is suposed to come tomorrow and take a look – so my dad is going to stay this time and go through the set up with the tech.
Is nothing ever simple!
So I stopped in to check out whats going on – seems dead today – I think we are i the pre holiday summer doledrums!
Well I think I am going to go write for a while so tht I’m not tempted to turn the box back on befor i’m suposed to
Elizabeth – got your lletter – your little bat should be winging its way to you Friday? I’ll email you…

Looking for a reason to smile
I’d like something new from our Kyle
While Lifetime does wait
To tell us Blood Ties’ fate
I know it will be all worthwhile. 🙂
Claire said
Elizabeth…your Mom is my kind of lady! That’s who I want to be when I grow up!When I’m in my 70’s I want to be sitting with my girls calling the younguns Luscious!!!! LOL!!! Give her a hug from me!!
Yup Diz,my house is always the attraction…Moniques friends,Chris friends,Nikkis friends…never know…dogs running,cats running! Me…drinking some wine…chillin.
Ditto on the positive thoughts!
Awwe Iwildstar…Thanks for the pics of our baby …yes that smile…even then…he probably came out of the womb with that smile!
The one you said he was channeling Henry? That’s one of the things I notice in all his movies that he does love scenes…his mannerisms around girls/women are always the same…which leads me to think hmmm….maybe thats the part that he meant…when he was asked what part of himself did he bring to Henry.
and a shout out to your Mom also!! Moms Rock! LOL!
Tango…
Merci. J’aime votre poésie, vous suis le plus doué en parlant de notre Kyle.
Very Nice..Ms.Tango!
I’ll say Bonne Nuit now…going to read J.R.Ward Dark Lover…cause I need a vamp fix quick!
lwildstar said
Brava Tango!
Well I’m off to bed – things seem slow tonight.
Will check in tomorrow.
Rifkind said
Claire,
So glad that you got some quality time another ADULT. Who knows, the friendship with Pool Dad my blossom into something more… maybe…
anyway, it is great that your kids have a good male influence in their lives for at least the summer anyway..
Here’s hoping that you have many more great days at the pool!
Rifkind
Margaret said
Elizabeth: Your mom rocks! She makes me feel so much better about my lust, if she thinks he’s luscious that means I’m not so bad. lol God love her.
Kyle/Henry seems to be a hands-on kind of guy, usually takes the girls face in his hands. Have you noticed how he’s always touching Vicky whenever he can get the chance. Running his hand up and down her arm, playing with her hair, geez, and who wouldn’t want someone to do that to them.
Have we chased off LH and saig13 off with all our estrogen and lust?
vicki said
hey girls..
Just a note to say hi…I am going out of town tomorrow..we are taking the kids to a pirates baseball game and my husband has to play with his fathers “big band” for fourth of july thing…Anyway…just wanted to wish everyone a happy fourth and I am sure we will be hearing good news soon.
I had a dream that BloodTies was on for three more seasons!!! Dont ask me why three I have no idea..but I was watching and Henry and Vicki were talking about meeting three years before…weird dream..but you know I like to dream that they are together..(But we all know what happened to Moonlighting when they got toegether?? Hmmm) The chemistry DIED>>
But I have a feeling that Kyle and Christina can keep it going for a long time.
I am reading a vampire book at the moment..(LOL a Harlequin Blaze) I know…smut..but I read them while I work out and that way i dont care that I am sweating and working out..I am more interested in what I am reading..LOL

I’ve been in a limericky mood tonight and have another to share with you. The bizarre thing that happened is I look up and see Michael Eklund (actor who plays Norman) playing a character – Jimmy on the show Traveler.
I think I’m going off the deep end! Somebody save me!
I miss that quirky freak Norman
From hell he did come a stormin’
As Henry he kissed Vicki
And boy that was icky
But he was not through with transformin’
When Vicki’s shape he did steal
At first, Henry thought, “she’s the real deal”
Soon kissing did commence
But quickly turned to self-defense
For the dagger is what he came to reveal.
Now on to Coreen he did go
With grimoire and chalice en tow
Using her, but not too well
To bring Asterof from hell
But quick thinking sent Norman down below.
So that’s where we ended the season
With not so much rhyme or reason
Four months without new Blood Ties
We’ve been forced to improvise
It’s no wonder we don’t commit treason!
Tango said
Vciki – Enjoy your vacation – wishing you safe travels! Also congrats on the anniversary – I hope that you will get some of that Harlequin lovin’! 😉

Looks like a slow posting week.
Lots of us are on vacation or off for a few days!
Enjoy the summer gals! and LH and SAI

Send a personal message to nettie928.
ocdgirl: This is what Tanya Huff explained in a blog about Henry saying in “Stone Cold” Mike’s not that person.
**********************************************************
Henry is saying Mike isn’t the kind of person to merely look on/interact with the surface of things. Vicki is saying that since Henry came into their lives none of them are able to merely see the surface of things anymore because now they know that there’s a whole different world lurking below the world they thought they knew.

To all those who serve or have served this great country we live in; to all those who are married to, or are a son or daughter and have made the sacrifice of living without your loved one ~ thank you. Thank you for what you have done, for some, your on-going sacrifice to secure our freedom ~ for we know that independence comes at a heavy price and is never completely paid for, it is an ongoing process. As we approach our Independence Day we honor you and your fellow countrymen for all your hard work and dedication. You are in our thoughts and prayers always. God bless you and God bless the USA!

Hi! Another busy day here. Lord these short weeks just kill me. I am burnt out by the end of the week and everybody is in such a rush to get all the necessary work done. BUT we get a day off smack in the middle of the week, Hump Day. Yay! I can sleep late tomorrow. I wonder what the day will bring. Hmmmmm?
Happy Fourth my friends. KUDOS to those that are brave and courageous to protect our country and our freedom. You are always in my thoughts.
My cousin used to be in the army. He was discharged only a couple years ago. Thankfully he never had to go to Irag of Afghanistan. He was pretty much only stationed in Egypt I think. He is now in the MP (military police).

Dizey, Rifkind, Margaret, Teresa, Ms Gypsy, Tango and Danielle – check your emails!

Hey ya’ll stopped in before heading outside to set up backyard for big party on Saturday. Everyone travelling be safe and above all live it up to the best of your ability. Life is short live and love without regret. Dance around with a lamp shade on your head every once in a while. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
I being born at this time of year always makes me appreciate this great land and people I come from. My father a retired Navy man, my uncle retired National Guard, many friends and some of their sons currently in Marines etc. so generously and honorably giving of themselves so I can sit here and write this in the comfort of my home. GOD BLESS AMERICA, and all of our soldiers that they may come home safely to their loved ones. Not to get political but it’s something I believe that freedom is not free, we pay a heavy price and as an American I understand and respect all our brave soldiers for the gift of freedom that they’ve given us. Thank you and GOD SPEED 🙂 😉
SEMPER FI **** OOOOH RAH !!!
Love ya’ll and I’ll be back later…….Logan’s bugging me to go outside

lwildstar – got the card – it looks great. I sent an adendum if it is not too late. I thought it was nice how Beth put where she was from. I think that would be nice if we all did that so she could see where her friends live.
Danielle said
I want to create a screensaver for BT. Does anyone know how I can do it? I tried with Powerpoint but that didn’t work. It must not have the ability.
rifkind said
I agree with the great sentiments.
My hubby surved 6 years in the navy. His son also served in the navy as well.
I am very grateful to be a woman in this great country. We have more freedoms here than anywhere else in the world.
To those travelling, be safe .
rifkind said
lwildstar,
I also sent an email with my city and state to be added to Tanya’s card if it isn’t too late.
Danielle said
The women in other countries get treated horribly. They have no freedoms at all. If they say or do one thing wrong they get beaten to the point of death often and it is legal. Did you guys here of the girl in England. She was Muslim I think. She didn’t want to marry the guy that was arranged for her to marry and she wanted to run away with the guy she loved. Her father and uncle killed her. It is called an Honor killing. They seem to be getting more and more common over there.
lwildstar said
ok stop the emails!
I already printed the card on card stock and I don’t have any left – having screwed up the first two print jobs – anywho i will lovingly write the city/state next to your names.
Didn’t occure to me at the time – I have most tof them because you ordered stuff from me! DAHHH
Well I only get a short lunch today because I’m leaving early – to get the cable fixed – so I just want to check in and I’ll pop back tonight.
Tomorrow Im going to a cook out at my aunts.
Everyone have a good holiday!!!!!!
my prayers to all the soldiers!
Danielle said
That’s fine lwildstar. You can right my location on the card if you want.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Iwildstar, I couldn’t open the attachment. Can it be copied and pasted to an email?? I’m not computery enough to now how else to see it.
Hi Dani girl, loved the email w/the wierd houses. I agree on the way women are treated as second class citizens in other parts of the world. Horrible. The thing that angers me the most is that NOBODY thinks that there’s anything wrong with this picture. Sorry it’s a very sore subject that attrocities can happen in this day and age w/the wisdom and intelligence that’s available people are mistreated like that. Honor killing, HOLY WARS it’s such **BS**. No such thing. Sorry girls rant’s over, I promise 🙂 😉 😛 😛
Danielle said
Beth-Did you get the pictures of the race? I tried sending them yesterday and I got it back saying the message was to big. I resent again today with only one or two attachments per message instead of 7 or eight.
lwildstar said
Dizey – how strange i sent you the Word version instead of the PDF because I wasn’t sure you had Adobe or not – it may be your security setings.
Let me try again.
It wont copy paste into the email – tried that and the machine locked up.
Claire said
Good afternoon blog family!
Not much going on today,Sorry Iwildstar it was Rifkinds Mom..I wanted to send the shout out too…she was the one who said she turned her Mom…I had blog vision last night LOL!
Tango….love your limericks!
Not doing anything for the 4th…Nikki is off for NYC tonight,Chris,Brittany,Monique are going to a friends for a party…So kiddos and I will probably go to the pool…then grill some burgers and light some sparklers.
Pool Dad is sad cause his baby girl will be with her Mom tomorrow,so he said he will probably stay home.His daughter is only 3,and with him raising her,I think he has separation anxiety when she has visitation with her mom.
Anyway see you guys later…I hope LH is ok.

URGENT MESSAGE
to any one who has On Demad – I’m fiddling around with this thing waiting for the cable guy you come and I found that Blood Ties episode 1 & 2 are now available ON DEMAND throught July!- I can’t get to them until this is fixed, and the way things are going I may never get this.
If someone could please record them for me? DVD if possible – I’ll take tape!
Danielle said
I don’t have any dvd’s right now to record on. I get paid on Friday and I can pick some up and try to record them. My mom has a recorder we just haven’t used it yet and she just got on demand.
Danielle said
Ciao everybody! Be careful and have fun tomorrow. Happy Fourth!
Claire said
Danielle…I have been trying to send you my Henry screensaver…it might be to big…It didn’t go through comcast…so I’m trying with my aol account…if it doesnt work I will try to send you the screensaver software itself…I just downloaded a trial version…and made my screensaver with it…you just add pics…music.
So..let me see if it goes through
I have on demand…but it doesnt have lifetime on demand…can someone tell me why? since its costing me 220.00 a month! or maybe I just am not looking in the right place…?
LH- Feel better soon…I miss you..prayers going your way!
rifkind said
Oh Danielle I really HOPE that you can get Episodes 1 & 2 on Demand and off to DVD… It would be so cool to see it on a TV..
Claire said
OK Danielle
I had to send you the program I made mine with..I guess 132 pics of Henry and 5 songs was too much for the freakin email to take! Damn…my screensaver is sooo nice I was dying to share.Anyway its really easy…remove the pics that come with it and put in yours…add music…voila` you are done!
Let me know if it works
rifkind said
Elizabeth,
I think that my Mom will be a lot like yours (she’s 70 years old).. I am still trying to get episodes 1 & 2 for her to see to get her REALLY hooked… but I know that she will LOVE the show..
I plan to send her home to Colorado with the show on tape.. and then reminders to look for the show in the fall.
SHE also fell in love with Star Gate.. so we have very similiar tastes.
Later Blogkin!
lwildstar said

well for the bad mood those jerks put me in on saturday TPTB made up for it with the cable guy – or shall I say cable boy! THere is nothing like being hit on by a 19 year old to make you feel better!
Poor baby after an hour the digital cable STILL didn’t work so I had them take it off my account – I’ll try again another time. They are going to have to runa new cable to the house – so he hooked up a temp line so that I do have tv….
So I’m in a really good goofy mood – but now its too late to spend anytime writing so I think I’ll just watch some tv and then off to bed
The ONLY bad thing is knowing Blood Ties 1 & 2 are on Demand ANDS I CAN”T GET TO THEM!!!!
Daneille let me know if you have any luck recording them! Email me!
Claire said
Dizey sent you the program…let me know if you got it.
Going to spend a few minutes with Nikki before she leaves for NYC.
Have a wonderful July 4th tomorrow!
My son Chris has invited me to the pool tomorrow before he goes to his friends party because Brittany has to work until 3p.m.
Sweet Henry/Kyle luscious dreams LOL!!!!
LH….feel better real soon!

Keep hanging in there!!!!
Did anyone get an email from Lifetime wanting you to watch their marathon of Army Wives tomorrow? I tell ya, it just makes me sick.
Happy 4th everybody!!!!
Madonna said
Cree,
I hope you are hanging in there at work. We miss ya.
Just wanted to tell you my mom took my dog to his appt. on Monday armed with the information you gave me. He ran a full blood panel, did a urinalysis and took Xrays and all he was able to find was that he had a bowel infection.
DIZEY1 said
Lh glad to hear it. I know you must feel pretty rough. In and out of hospitals sucks big time too. My dad dreads any time they’ve got to go for anything now for fear of them putting him in. I’ll keep you in my prayers and good thoughts. I hope you have a nice holiday tomorrow. Be well 🙂 😉
Well gonna head for bed. Happy 4th to you all, (or to YA’LL) Enjoy!!

A quick note before I retire tonight…
There’s a new interview with Steve Bacic who plays Paul ‘Dirty’ Deeds in the
DOA epi 13. http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/stevebacic.html
It’s not that insightful, but I thought I’d put it out there.
Good Night all!

Bloggerini! I spent almost all day in meetings and stopped for dinner on the way home. So I’m just now online and I’m actually thinking sleep sounds good. Of course, Faraday disagrees (he HATES firecrackers!) but I’m gonna give it a shot. Thursday I start sending postcards to Lifetime again.
Laurel, I’m not ignoring you. But all week lunches are tied up. Next week?
Laurel said
Happy 4th everyone!
I know most of you will be doing the BarBQ thing tomorrow just like I will so engoy your celebrations. We will be able to see the fireworks from the local high school across the river, and then will set of a bunch on our street with the neighbors.
Travel safely!
Thanks to all our Veterans!
Yah Dad!
himmiefan said
Hello everyone! I’ve got an APB out on my avatar. Anyone seen him? You’ll know him when you see him. 🙂
himmiefan said
Oh my gosh, it worked! That is one purty man!
Is there any way I can make the image more clear? This is my all time favorite shot of Henry. It’s from Bad Juju when he and Mike have their face-off in the police station.
Ms Gypsy – Poor Faraday (aka Fuzzbutt -I love that!). My sister arrive home last 4th to find a large black lab cowering on her porch. The fireworks terrified him. Luckily, he found his way home when they stopped. Poor baby.
Laurel said
Too funny Gypsy! I was just thinking I was alone here and wondered if I should just go to bed. Lunch next week would be fine, I’m not going anywhere else. I will be painting the various rooms of my house this summer as funds permit, and may not spend a lot of time on the computer. You know how to reach me :).
Poor Faraday! I had a dog who was terrified for most of July because of the fireworks. Plus, our neigbors are Chinese and celebrate the New Year in February which also freaked poor Ralph. I wished for doggie earplugs so that he would not suffer so much.
Laurel said
Hey Himmiefan! I never get to talk with you. Cool.
Are either of you gals doing anything special tomorrow?
We will be having a Bar-B-Que on the back porch with whomever we can drag in.
My recently widowed Mother-in-law is going to come and spend a few days with us, driving up from Eugene. She is terribly lonely now that she is the only human in her house. Two beagles keep her active, but they seem to be mourning too, and are less active than usual. It is hard to see her so down. Usually she is quite bubbly and fun and loves to garden and go for walks with us. Maybe we can perk her up a bit. 🙂
Well, my husband and daughter (17) are watching “Coupling” on BBC and I had better join them so I will get all of the one-liners they are going to be snickering at.
Sweet dreams!
himmiefan said
Hey Laurel! Yum, BBQ sounds good. I’m going down to my sister’s for dinner. I think we’re doing burgers or BBQ. I’m taking my peach cake, which is a kind of a short cake baked in skillet. Before I put the cake in the oven, I place slices of fresh peaches on top, the right before it comes out of the oven, I crumble a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top. Of course, I’ve also marinated the peaches in peach schnaps before-hand. It’s about as yumalicious as Henry! 🙂
The funny thing is that one of the guests at dinner is a good friend who is from the UK, Scotland to be exact. He’s an earl, but no one in town knows it. He loves America because people here treat him normally. I’m going to ask him about the anti-American sentiment in Europe because I’ve been really concerned about it lately.
Well, off to bed. Must go to bed, must go to bed. Cannot stay up and read. Well, maybe just for a few minutes…
Night!
himmiefan said
Um, has anyone seen my avatar? He seems to be MIA. Maybe he’s out getting a slurpie snack. Wish he’d come back…

himmiefan: The canadians aren’t all that fond of us either. Its extremely hard to get a work visa over there but I have to give it to them, they do take care of their own first. If you want a job over there the employer must prove that they’ve offered it to a canadian first. And remember how Tanya told us that anyone south of the border (from Canada) wouldn’t have that much influence with the Canadian production companies.

Hey Himmiefan,
I got Claire’s pictures to work by removing the

himmiefan,
For your avatar, you will need to get the picture cleaned up and play with the contrast and colors and background BEFORE you upload it into WordPress.
AlisaSG said
Claire, awww, thanks for sharing baby Jake.. and his “baby blues”
I had no trouble seeing the photos — they showed up fine on Firefox (browser). 🙂
———-
supposed to rain (rwain) today.. that might keep some of the noises down later today, except for mother nature’s own *fireworks* display. 😀
as for the animals.. I don’t think earplugs would help. They feel the vibrations from the noises thruout their entire body, not just in their ears. Our pets still shook all over, whenever we tried to cover their ears. Even holding them to comfort them never helped too much. 😦
One time while visiting my sister, her cats were too stubborn to come back inside the house from the (screened-in) porch. So, we left to go eat out. By the time we came back, there was an awful thunderstorm brewing (only minutes away), and guess what? The little stinkers were waiting by the sliding door and pawing and meowing to come back in! The moment I got the door opened, they both ran to hide under some piece of furniture – far away from that sliding door! 😉
We never did see them come out of their hiding places, even for several hours after. poor things! (*silly* kitties!)

everyone have a very happy, healthy, and safe 4th!

himmiefan,
I found the larger picture of your avatar over at blood lines…
Yes it is a great picture of Henry/Kyle… His eyes DO sparkle!
I would take the picture into some image program and play with the contrast before compressiong it..
Unfortunately here at the cabin , all that I have to work with is MS Paint… so that isn’t too much help…
Play with the picture and then see how it looks once you compress it..
Good Luck!

Hi guys. I see Henry came home. Thanks for your avatar advice. I’ll work in it and see what I can do. It’s such a great picture; I’d hate for it not to show up well.

Margaret – that must be why it’s rare to find an American working on a show filmed in Canada. I think there are many two Americans on Stargate Atlantis.
AlisaSG said
himmiefan,
>> I think there are many two Americans on Stargate Atlantis.
I heard the reason why TPTB film(ed) both Stargate series in Canada (aside from it being at the Bridge Studios), was because it’s cheaper to film in Canada than in California (USA). California living expenses and other prices are as bad as NY. Most American (Tv) series have moved north to Vancouver, BC for common sense, economic reasons.
“Highlander-the series” (Tv series with Adrian Paul) did that during the years it was on. Filmed mostly in Seattle, WA (USA), but I think it was based (the main studios were housed) in Canada.

Himmiefan: Just for yukes I looked up work visas for Canada as I believe Chum TV has a position for an administrative assistant in Vancouver (I think it was). Several problems with that though: One of the requirements was being proficient in Excel which is not one of my strong suits and the fact that I would have to get a work visa. But just think ladies if our show comes back what a sweet job that would be, although it might be a delusional hope to think one might run into the Blood Ties cast. But never say never. lol.
himmiefan said
Margaret – isn’t BT produced by Kaleidoscope Entertainment? You can always try them for a job. Oh! Look on Blood Ties Central. It gives the studio name where BT was (and will be!!!) filmed. You can get a job there, or if all else fails, just sneak in an look like you belong there. 🙂
himmiefan said
Alisa – you know, I once read where Cold Mountain was filmed in Romania instead of North Carolina ( ! ).
Margaret said
I think its somewhat of a partnership between Kaleidoscope Entertainment and Chum. Its a pipe dream but as Norman would say: Wicked Awesome. lol. I’d just like to get out of the one horse town I’m in now before I take one of those dirt naps Henry is talking about. I’m not so sure that the work visa wouldn’t be one mammoth hurtle to cross though. Wouldn’t I be in heaven though. One can dream. lol.

Lol Himmiefan…I think Henry was up to no good last night…since my avatar was also M.I.A. I think he was over at Beths house..sneak!…then again Ms.Nikki said she dreamt she was hooking up with him last night! excuse me?
I told her to tell Henry to stay out of her dreams!!! LOL!!
Sharing with daughters is not allowed!

msgypsy said
Margaret, unless you’re Canadian, don’t count on getting any job in Canada. The immigration regulations are really strict there. In order for a company to hire someone from outside Canada they have to prove that they were unable to find a Canadian able to do the job. I think once you’ve got a job there you can be hired easily enough for other jobs but that first job is the sticking point. It’s why I couldn’t ever go back even if I wanted to. (I already “did my time” living in Saskatchewan, about which we will not speak…) I don’t have any particularly unique qualifications for work in my field. I’m unique enough within my own area, but a proficiency in US and Oregon not-for-profit accounting regulations just won’t cut it at that border. LOL!
I’ve been having a lovely, quiet day today. I grabbed in a bunch of my favorite podcasts, curled up in bed in front of the good fan, and dozed on and off while Faraday dozed and occasionally barked at some damn firecracker going off too nearby. I finished crocheting the blanket I was making for my friend’s imminent baby. I was planning to get up early, hike down to one of the wider, comfortable places in Forest Park with a blanket, my mp3 player, my crochet, and a sandwich, but instead I stayed home and kept the Fuzzy One company. And did some gardening. My giant rosemary plant outgrew its container so now it’s happily in the ground, and my new basil is soaking up all the water it can find. What I forgot to do today was eat. So I’m going off to do so right now.
Cree said
Happy 4th everyone!!
Madonna: I’ve been around. Most of the time I am just “lurking”, but not in a creepy way. I am very shy so I just don’t post much unless someone says something specifically for me. Actually I think you and I are alot alike. I read your post a few days ago about your S.A.D. and I felt like I was reading about myself. I too am 28, overweight with health problems, shy, and have severe social anxiety. I completely freak out when I have to be around lots of people, like at a party, the movies, a mall, etc and therefore avoid these places if at all possible. I even go to the grocery store at odd hours just to minimize the number of people I will have to come in contact with. I have tried anti-anxiety drugs in the past, but they made me sick, so I had to stop them. I have thought about seeing a therapist, but I think that would only make me feel worse having to admit to some stranger what a lonely freak I think I am because I get weirded out around people. I have very few close friends and they don’t live anywhere near me, so I mostly just keep to myself and stay home alone most of the time to minimize the anxiety. Thankfully I have a job where I can work with animals and can have minimal human contact. My techs take care of most of the aspects of my job that requires dealing with the owners and that helps out a great deal as well. I am very glad I found this site because I do feel as though everyone on this site is non-judgemental and accepting which gives me the courage to post even as little as I do.
Ok, now that I have poured my heart and soul out and left myself completely exposed (sorry about that, I don’t know what got into me)….on to your puppy….good news is that the bloodwork and xrays didn’t show anything serious. Almost all of the really serious things would have shown up one of those places. Did he do chest xrays and abdominal xrays, because I was concerned about a possible fungal infection in the lungs/chest that could be causing the recurrent upper respiratory infections (URIs) and that would show up on a chest xray. I am also curious as to how he diagnosed a “bowel infection” as this can only be truely diagnosed by doing a fecal culture which takes about 10 days do to and is not part of any of the tests that you mentioned he did. I also don’t think your dog has an “immune problem” like he has told you before. Evidence of this would have shown up on the bloodwork, specifically the CBC, and the urinalysis would have most likely shown an infection if this were true. It could be something as simple as stomach ulcers causing the anorexia and vomiting. I guess I just assumed he already treated for that as that is always the first thing I treat for in a dog that is not eating and has intermittant vomiting and most of the time it works. I would ask him just to try your dog on a weeks worth of sucralfate (heals stomach ulcers), a broad spectrum dewormer (I like panacur because it coats the stomach, soothes it, and also will kill any stomach worms that may be in there causing damage), and a very bland diet ( I recommend Science Diet i/d). Those three things used together are usually my miracle cure for the anorexic/vomiting dog. The ulcers would not explain the recurrent URIs however, but there could be more that one thing going on with your pup. Did he put him on anything for the bowel infection, such as an intestinal antibiotic (metronidazole/flagyl)?

ms gypsy: Well if the immigration laws don’t get you they’ll make it difficult enough for you to get a work visa. I read the bit in the Canadian website regarding the fact that you have to prove that you’ve offered the job to a Canadian first. Since you’ve lived up there maybe you can answer a question that has always bothered me-why do the Canadians dislike us so? Is it because we try to Big Brother everyone? I told my ex-mother-in-law I wouldn’t mind visiting Canada so I have an open invitation to stay in Buffalo and cross the border whenever I want. I didn’t seriously think getting a job over there would ever happen anyway. Its just with the property taxes and homeowners down here in Florida this place is becoming a less and less attractive place to live.
Has anyone happened to notice that Henry has to continually remind Vicky to have “faith” that things will turn out ok and that he seems a heck of a lot more religious than Vicky or Mike. Seems rather odd for someone we don’t attribute morals to would have to remind the human being to have faith. Just a little thing to make you go hmmm over.

Whew! It is pretty toasty out here, although not as bad as some other places. We ate way too much food and no one had room for dessert, so I guess ice-cream and nectarines will have to wait a little while.
Himmiiefan – do you ever share that recipe for your peach cake? I really love to cook and don’t have a recipe like that. 🙂 Let me know?
Gypsy – don’t feel bad about not going out for the hike today. Sarah went for a hike with some friends this morning and I had to go rescue them when it got too hot for the return trip. Good thing because they had all forgotten to put on sunscreen before they set out. Silly girls.
I am planning to watch episode one later tonight! 🙂 I have never seen it on a real tv screen and I can hardly wait to watch it without commercials every 8 minutes. Thank you Lifetime for sending it out to ON Demand.

Cree,
hi there!
>> I too am 28, overweight with health problems, shy, and have severe social anxiety. I completely freak out when I have to be around lots of people, like at a party, the movies, a mall, etc and therefore avoid these places if at all possible.
..
..
isn’t life grand? I’m shy too, especially for doing introductions and stage/film work (in front of the camera type). Saying *hello* to complete strangers for me usually makes me super nervous and slightly paranoid. I think of that as being normal.
Everyone else is just *weird*..! 😉
..just teasing.
I get paranoid mostly because I’m clutzy and stammer, at times, when speaking. People gifted with English grammar degrees like to correct my words. I think without realizing it, they think by correcting my words, that it will help me speak better; but it just makes me hide further into my turtle shell, because I know that tactic has never worked with my speech impediments. 😦
I’m just better off writing my words down, instead of verbally speaking them. Kids in school teased me miserably, because they were more gifted in speaking than I was. Years later, I found out it was a personality problem – one that is part of your DNA. It’s what makes you – you! And once I discovered that, I was able to accept my *handicap* and open my mouth without being as insecure as I had been during my childhood.
I find it amazing when I meet people I know, and see they’re little ones hiding behind mommy’s leg, because of a similar shyness. I totally understand.. And it’s challenging when meeting the little talkers, too.. they ramble off so fast, it’s difficult to figure out “what they say??” 😉
Anyways, it’s mostly in breaking the ice during the initial few contacts (in person) that I freak out from. However, I don’t mind going into supermarkets during rush hours and standing on the long lines with everyone else.. they’re just as frustrated as I am, whenever we think we’ve all ended up in the wrong line.. it’s sort of hilarious, but helps to know we’re all sort of in the same boat when things like that happen. 😀
anywho.. you by any chance on Gateworld, too? or is that another “Cree” person over there?
if yes, a whovian, too? (aka, Torchwood in Cree’s signature over there?).
DW is starting in 2 days here in the USA on Sci-Fi. We don’t get Torchwood yet.
..in the meantime, hoping some of this helps encourage you. 🙂

Margaret,

Seems rather odd for someone we don’t attribute morals to would have to remind the human being to have faith. Just a little thing to make you go hmmm over.
..
..
hmmmmmm.. 😀
that’s what I love so much *more* about Henry.. Because he does have more *faith* than the living. Strange.. but it works for me – *g*. ..and that’s also why I like talking about BT over here. Most people here haven’t yet slammed anyone for liking the way the series has taken its lines about *faith* being important to Henry, even tho he’s supposed to be a vampire. He’s not the atypical traditional- “fear of the cross” -type vampire.
yeah. it’s already been asked what happens when a person was from another religious *faith* before they became a vampire? (valid question, and probably one that tradition hasn’t really addressed yet.)
sad part is sharing this (Blood Ties) show with any atheists.. I think they don’t like Henry for that very reason — that he has a high degree of *faith* and believes in higher powers, etc – however, they {the non-believing audiences} see it as fiction or flights of fantasy, for the sake of bending or suspending their own beliefs; and that’s the only way most non-believing viewers can cope with the general *spiritual* storylines.
But what is the *supernatural* without faith? Mike might be a skeptic in seeing supernatural phenomena at work, but I don’t think he’s that much of a skeptic, spiritually speaking.
Not sure if this is a universal spiritual emotion, or what from people with lesser degrees of *faith*. But I’ve noticed some viewers who aren’t “spiritual” (of any theology) want Henry to be stronger than the demons, than to have moments of weakness and needs. I think they’re forgetting that if he was always all-powerful all the time and just got his blood nourishments all the time from inviting his dinner mates home, the stories could become more tedious and boring in the long run. I like seeing those moments of weakness.
Plus, it gives the actors more room for emotional growth and moodiness (and likability). 😀
*sigh*
.. I hope that all made sense ..

How was everyone’s fourth? Mine was mostly calm. I stayed at home with my parents and my sister Angie, her fiance Bruce and my niece Harley came over and we grilled out. Way too much food! Could have done without Bruce as he sends my dog into hysterics. That coupled with the firecrackers and my dog is a stressed out ball of white fur.
loves history,
Hope you are still doing well. We think about you on here.
Dizey,
How are you and your father holding up? Remember to take care of yourself too.
Anzia, Brenda, Welcome back!!!
Cree,
Thank you again for the additional info. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Honestly I don’t know how he concluded that he had a bowel infection. I was working so my mom took him to his appt. that morning. The vet said he wanted to keep him to run the tests and she picked him up in the evening. He sent him home with a week’s worth of Doxycycline. He goes back on Monday.
Yes it sounds like we do have a lot in common. The ONLY thing I like about my full-time work is that I don’t have to work with the public on a regular basis. As to grocery stores and normal stuff like that… Strange, but it just depends on the day. Some days I’m perfectly fine getting into a conversation, other times I talk like a mouse. At parties and such, I find it almost impossible to speak with someone new, at least without the presence of someone else that I’m comfortable with being right there.
A true story of my social ineptitude…. Last summer I was at my cousin Jolene’s wedding. She has two sisters, Shara & Sam. I had never met my cousin’s husband before so when my turn came to greet them in the reception line, I got all tongue-tied and I introduced myself as Shara. I WAS MORTIFIED!!! I introduced myself as the bride’s sister. I do things like that all the time.
I know it has been said on here before, but I really think that we’ve all congregated here through a higher power. I mean, in so many ways we are all so alike, but yet we each bring something special to the party. The strange thing about being shy is that because of that you don’t really realize that there are other people out there just as bad as you. That’s sad as well. I mean, there are 5 billion? people in the world and everyone seems so lonely.
If anyone feels like chatting but doesn’t want to post it here on the blog, feel free to email me. I check it about once a day. MadonnaJPike@aol.com
Well I have another long day tomorrow.
Goodnight everyone!
Cree said
AlisaSG: Must be a different Cree on that other site, cause its not me….sorry. Thanks for the words of encouragement, but it sounds like your shyness and my shyness are two totally different types. I don’t have trouble speaking to people when I have to, even if I don’t know them, I don’t stumble over my words or anything like that, I am just uncomfortable being around people in general, even people I know well, I get very anxious. I don’t know why that is. I just feel that they are starring at me and judging me all the time, even if I know they are not. Judging what I am saying, doing with my body language, my hair, clothes, etc. I don’t like being in crowds (like lines in the supermarket) because I hate being touched by other people (bumping into me and things like that) and I especially hate when someone I know runs into me out in public because I hate having to make small talk and I never know what to say and would just prefer that people leave me alone and let me mind my own business. When I do go out, I just have to pretend that I am in my own little protective bubble and get what I need to get done as fast as I can while trying to avoid eye contact and conversations with others around me and get home as quick as I can so I can be all alone and comfortable. I know that probably sounds really weird, but its just the way I have always been. Its so bad that when I’ve lived in a place for a while and I start running into multiple people I know every time I go out, I move to another city/state where no one knows me so I can get my comfort zone back. I guess I just feel that if people don’t know me, they can’t judge me or something crazy like that. I don’t know if I am even making any sense anymore. It all makes sense in my crazy messed up head, but it’s just hard to put it into words without making myself sound like some crazy stuck up witch (with a *b*).
When I started my current job a little over 2 years ago, I had to go to this seminar where we had to take these personality tests. Most of the people in my class were extraverts and craved attention. Well, not me. I was a 10 (highest it goes) on the intravert scale which basically translates to I would rather curl up in a ball and die rather than have contact with other people. The person in charge of the seminar (another doctor) actually pulled me aside after the seminar and said she had never seen anyone score that result before and asked me if everything was okay and if I needed to “talk” about anything like there was something seriously psychologically wrong with me or like I was some kind of ticking time bomb or something. I told her that I function just fine and nothing is “wrong” with me, I am just happier being alone. She refused to let me leave without giving me her work, home, and cell numbers in case I needed to “talk”. After I got home from that seminar is when I started questioning whether or not I really should see someone about this. Maybe there is some deep rooted problem or something that I am not aware of. I don’t think there is, but who knows? Anyway, thanks for listening. I don’t share this side of me with many people. It feels good to let it out.
Madonna said
Cree,
I’m actually exactly the same way, but the severity of mine differs from day to day. Strange I know. I want to meet people but I always feel so out of place. I think that a lot of it has to do with my weight. I’m 220 now but when I lost weight before and was 165 I was alot more open. I also think that genetics has a little something to do with it. When my father has to speak to someone in public he actually starts quivering all over.

“…but I think that would only make me feel worse having to admit to some stranger what a lonely freak I think I am because I get weirded out around people.”
Cree, please write a 100 times, “I am not a freak. I am not a freak.” Good. Now, people who abuse animals or crash planes into buildings or flaming Jeeps into airports, those are the freaks!
I too used to be really shy, particularly in college when I lived in the dorm and didn’t know a lot of people. As time has gone by, I’ve been forced through my work (a corporate trainer/technical writer) to interact with different types of people from the top of the totem pole to the bottom and everthing in between. As I’ve had to interact more and more, it’s gotten easier. We had a motivational speaker at work once, Alan Zimmerman, who had some really good things to say about confidence. He said to take time to tell yourself over and over that you are confident, you can do small talk well, etc. In the car driving to wherever, I tell myself that I am confident, that I am kind and caring, etc. For me, this works really well. It makes me feel more confident and helps me to give off positive vibes (I’m a firm believer in vibes).
In college, I read an article that really made an impression on me. This article said that those people we think are judging us are usually not. In fact, they’re usually not even thinking about us. They’re wrapped up in their own insecurities. The article said to remember that it’s not all about us; everyone is not constantly thinking about us. It’s kind of funny yet true that we think everyone is looking at us while they think we’re looking at and judging them. The article also noted to focus on others instead of ourselves, to have the attitude that we’re going to help others.
I wish I still had this article because it really made an impact on me and helped me with my communication skills.
Well, time for bed. Peach cake recipe tomorrow! It’s almost as yummy as Henry! 🙂
Margaret said
AlisaSG: I love the fact that Henry has a sense of faith and an ability to be able to separate the good from the evil. I tried explaining to someone the other day that he was a “good” vampire, you should have seen the way they looked at me.
There are so many reason for us to love Henry: (1) First and foremost I think most of us have fallen head over heals for him because he says lines that we would love to hear from a man but most likely won’t hear in this lifetime, (2) He knows the difference between good and evil and does the right thing, (3) Geez, did I forget to say he is smokin hot looking, (4) He also is considerate of Vicky, even though she has put him through the mill with her inability to make a commitment, to him or Mike. I mean, how sexy is it for a man to rub your feet?
And did anyone find it odd for Ms. No Frills Vicky that she had her toenails polished in that scene when she never wears polish on her fingernails? Of course the scene would have played as well without the polish, I’m sure.
Maybe we should realize that Henry is a wonderful figment of Tanya Huff’s and Peter Mohan’s delicious imaginations. What are the odds of finding a man who would be as perfect as Henry, well almost perfect if the overlook the other women he snacks on and the few dead bodies here and there?

Hey! The Fourth sucked! It started raining around 11 am and never really stopped. The thing that sucked is the thunderstorms we were supposed to get never happened. Like you Claire I love thunderstorms. It is one of my turn ons.
Ok so I spent the day watching episodes 1 & 2 so it didn’t really suck. I made my mom watch them with me and I had also made her watch all Kyle’s movies with me and she said, He really grew up well didn’t he? I said Yes he did! She also said that she hates to get into shows that you have to watch every epi so that you won’t miss anything, unlike soaps where you can go weeks without watching and not miss a thing. She is now aching to watch the other epi’s except the last four epi’s that were on demand. I made her sit through those with me too.
Thank the Lord! She has seen the light!
Chery said
Margaret I love your comments!
You are almost thinking for me! I really agree with your assessment of Henry.
I think it is why I love the show so much!
He is constantly warning Vicki and she never listens and Henry is the one usually hurt by her decisions. Mentally and physically!!!
Also, if you look closely at Vicki’s nails she does have a french manicure at least some of the time.
Writing my l0 postcards and sending off today!

Hi everyone! Wow, I can’t believe I stayed away from here for a week. I went on vacation, visited my parents, and had a great time. But I have missed checking in with you guys.
How is everyone doing? Anything awesome or big happen while I was away? Did you all finish the movie? Was major ass kicked?
Danielle said
I did notice that her nails are always nice and sometimes has nail polish.
I was also discussing her with my mother, both Christina and Vicki. I said she is such an awesome woman. She kicks ass, pardon my French. She is a woman that young girls can look up to. None of this Paris Hilton or Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. She is a strong woman but in her own way she has her vulnerabilities. I think she is very pretty also. Not gorgeous but in a girl next door kinda way. The way most of the rest of us are. That makes her easy to like. I myself greatly admire her.
Margaret said
Chery: You’re right about the manicure. I’m not that observant.
I do love Henry for his patience with her, if I were him I would have slapped her a long time ago……geez. And I don’t think it will get any better in future episodes unless they have her going back and forth between Henry and Mike which would make her look kind of slutty. Now Henry can do it and supposedly its not supposed to be that bad, after all he is a man and we do have a double standard don’t we.
Although I am concerned about Kyle though-I have the same concerns Peter Mohan stated in his podcast that he didn’t believe anyone that looked that good at his age could keep his head in his hat. He did give Kyle credit for not voicing anything along the lines of how he thought he was a great star (words put out there by the interviewer). Look at how much adulation we have laid at this kid’s feet-is it possible for him not to become jaded or conceited? Right now he does seem to have his head screwed on straight-I hope that doesn’t change.
P. S. I’ve been sending my 10 postcards a day. Where are the rest of you? I’ve been over at the Lifetime board and they said something about sending fangs but also said something about having one person purchase them which makes absolutely no sense to me. I wouldn’t mind doing it but for it to be effective the addresses that they come from would have to be varied.
Danielle said
Honestly I don’t think we have anything to worry about. More and more actors these days are keeping there heads and don’t let the fame change them these days. Nobody likes a conceited person and they know that. Kyle seems to have a good head on his shoulders and he seems to have been brought up well. He won’t let all the fame and adoration go to his head. He already said he stays away from the internet. I think it was for that very reason.

Hey Gals,
I think that you on the east coast are getting the weather that I had.. earlier this week, I have had 3 days of rain here in MN. It finally turned nice weather yesterday (the 4th) although in Duluth we did have on black cloud go by to the north of us and drop a few sprinkles on us. Thankfully it was raining north of us but not much in town.
We had a great fireworks show, so I got to enjoy them for all of you waterlogged ladies.
Danielle said
We had our fireworks on Monday. It was very good although they started much later than they were supposed to. The fireworks are right up the hill from my house at the park. We go to my church to watch them. The bad thing is my entire street is blocked so the people coming from the park can go down the hill. They don’t let anyone cross to get to there houses. All the streets coming off the hill are blocked. The parks and rec really need to rethink there plans a bit. We are all getting very tired of it. I am ready to not go anymore. If I could actually see them from my house I would be fine. There are too many trees.
rifkind said
I agree with Margaret about Henry.
His long-suffering patience with Vicki just pulls on our hearts.
He is sensitive and does say the sweetest things that not too many “real-life” men will ever say to us. But it is a great fantasy!
As for actors getting big heads, sadly, that does happen, and when it does, and they behave badly, we tend to transfer that “bad boy image”, when we see the characters they are playing… I’m thinking Tom Cruise here…
I hope that Kyle takes some cues from his character and stays as sweet and nice as Henry is.
Danielle said
I never liked Tom Cruise so I pray to God Kyle doesn’t turn out like him. I loved Top Gun and Days of Thunder and Risky Business but I cannot stand Tom Cruise. All his Scientology babble does nothing for me and I think he has to many teeth so when he smiles I want to just gag.
himmiefan said
Question for those of you with men. Do they watch BT with you, and if so, have you ever pointed out some of the nice things Henry does and says and noted that you like that? If he says that men don’t say those things in reality, ask why not. Also, point out that most of the writers are men. Then, once you’ve gotten your man trained, everytime he says something nice, slip him a treat and pat him on the head.
Seriously, the Christie Cookie company is headquartered here in Nashville. They sell, I kid you not, a package of cookies called Training Biscuits for Husbands! 🙂
Danielle said
That is too funny. Training Biscuits for Husbands. I think my mom needs some of those for my dad. I remember somebody saying her husband got the sniffing thing down to a T.
rifkind said
I was OK with Tom until he started dumping wives.. (I can imagine women like US being the dumpee).
The religious rant doesn’t help either.
The latest wife will probably last about 10 years until she figures out that she signed up to have her life ruled by him.. He may divorce her before the 10 year mark, just like he did Nichole, because of the 10 year turning point in CA’s community property laws..
Another actor that I just loved let the fame get to him. He started out being sweet and approachable by the hordes of female fans.. within a few years his marriage disolved and he started ..hummmm how do I say this.. appreciating the fruits of being a sex symbol…
He will probably go through the next 20 years with a new gal a night.. and probably won’t settle down until he is 50 or 60 years old..
He’ll have lots of sex, but no long term relationships.. that can be quite lonely.. although endless sexual partners may be some men’s fantasy..
being one of his one-night-stands isn’t one of mine. He is now OFF of my dream date list..
I worked with a gal who had a one-nighter with a small-time local rock singer.. to her it was so cool, I slept with so-n-so… (I cna’t remember his name now..) anyway, she me him again years later… and guess what?
He didn’t remember her at all… it was just another night of sex to him…
very sad.
I guess that fantasy is much safer sex and you can’t get any diseases or get accidentally pregnant either! Hee Hee!
Margaret said
Lets not forget the garbage he was spouting about drugs not being necessary for
post-partum depression.. Let’s see him have a baby and deal with that without having drugs during or after. Once he jumped on the couch he lost me.

Claire said
Good afternoon blogkin!
I hope you all had a good fourth!
It stopped pouring here around 7 p.m. and we went down the road where some neighbors were doing fireworks for the kids…the quads had a good time..they went to bed at 10 and then I had some alone time with Henry! love on demand!
What’s up with our movie? has production been halted? LOL!
Speaking of Kyle….I really do hope he stays the way he is….one of the reasons I find him so attractive is because he isn’t full of himself….
The people that are the most attractive to me are those that are so beautiful that it hurts to look at them…yet they don’t even realize it,and that’s because they are also beautiful inside.I hope he never changes…that he can realize he has an amazing acting gift…and stay humble.If he stays away from the Hollywood scene then maybe he stands a chance.I also hope that he really believes in what Henry said in Stone Cold…Beauty fades..
Awe! now I’m really missing my baby! God I need some new B.T. or a new Kyle movie!!!!!! 😦
Margaret said
Claire: Funny you should to mention the thing about people being so beautiful that it hurts to look at them. When I first saw all three of these actors on the show I couldn’t believe they could get any more beautiful people than these three in a room together. When I first saw them together it almost hurt my eyes. I’ve mentioned more than once that the lead characters in this show are painfully pretty (or in the men’s cases, painfully handsome). But what a way to be blinded, huh?
Danielle said
Hey Claire I am trying to make a screensaver with the program you sent to me. Were you able to get music on yours? I am trying to add some Evanescence music and it is like the files are not there.
Danielle said
I agree with you Margaret. The cool thing though is that all three of them still act like normal people. In the interviews and behind the scenes stuff I have seen it seems like I could easily be friends with any one of them. They just act like the next person on the street. I find that very appealing.
lwildstar said
yipee its lunchtime and I can finally get online to chat!
it took me 15 minutes just to catch up.
I agree with the assement of Henry and why we love him – the long suffering, sensitive guy whos just so head over heels in love with a woman who has so many barriers she can’t see what he’s offering! I would be all over that in a heart beat – the things he says! makes you wonder if the writers are that sensitive or not?
as for Kyle getting a big head – well he was a Disney Kid – so he could go either way (Britney Spears was a Disney kid – Mouse Club – and look how she turned out, then again so was Justin Timberlake and he seems a little more grounded)…lets hope Kyles family keeps him in line and remembers they have the divine right to apply a Gibbs slap to him (NCIS if you didn’t know – and Gibbs slap or smack is now becoming a popular term for disaplining someone who aggravates you or says something annoying – example – “if you don’t quit, I’m going to Gibbs-smack you.”) I have only applied this to my brother in law – several times – and well before NCIS came out!
the storms here last night were pretty bad – one of my coworkers had a tree come down on her house – she has a hole in the roof and no powere – and on top of that her entire neighborhood lost their water as well! Thank God she wasn’t home when all this happened last night – but what a thing to come home to!
i was afraid of power outages so I didn’t get any writing in and I was afraid to watcha tape or dvd – so no Henry or Kyle last night! I’m almost finished with the second Shadows book – not nearly as good as the Blood books – but I find my self laughing out loud at some of the lines “I have a vampire and I’m not afraid to use him!” has now become a running one liner.
himmiefan said
Movie production has not been halted! Info coming soon, I promise! I was just brain-dead thanks to work.
Danielle said
Yes Kyle was a Disney kid but he was only in a couple movies. Britney and Justin and Christina Aquilera were on The MMC for years. So was Keri Russell and she is ok. The only bad egg out of all of them was Britney. Most of todays Disney kids seem pretty grounded also, Raven, Hilary Duff, Corbin Bleu, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, and Ashley Tisdale.
Danielle said
Hayden Panettiere was a Disney kid also. She was in a couple of the movies that go direct to the Disney Channel and she was also in Ice Princess that was in the theaters. She seems pretty grounded also.
lwildstar said
Well lunch is almost over and I must go – If I can I’ll pop back in tonight.
I guess youre right most of the Disney kids are more grounded then some have been in the past – Disney usually keeps them on a tight leash – but I wacthed something on cable called “behind the Ears” or somethinglike that – that showed some of the troulbe the kids were getting into – the program segwayed into a seprate show about Britney, justin, and Christina Agulara- and a few others, and how they “turned out” – most of it seemed to be o the relations ships the “kids” formed with each other.
Well lets just hope out Baby Boy stays sweet and wonderful!
Danielle said
He will. I have no doubt.
Danielle said
A woman at my company just told me that she is pregnant with twins. She went through InVitro about a month ago I think it was. She is 40. More power to her.
himmiefan said
Hey Danielle. That’s wonderful! Being around that age, I love hearing stories like that.
Danielle said
I told her I thought it would be cool to have twins and she agrees but she said it is very daunting also. I told her I knew someone that had quads.
lwildstar said
Just had to pop in and let you know – that Henry Michael Victor Fangs’ siblings arrived today!
Those of you who emailed me will have one set aside for you!
Elizabeth yours should be winging its way to you tomorrow if I can get to the post office.
If you want to see him check out RifKinds Avatar!
If anyone else wants one let me know, I have a whole flock, swarm, heard? I never did find out what you call a bounch of bats!
rifkind said
Looking at wikipedia.. I think that a group of bats is a colony .. and a baby one is a pup..
Danielle said
rifkind how did you find that? I was looking and couldn’t find what a group of bats are called. I saw the pup but I didn’t see what a group was called anywhere.

I went to wikipedia and looked up bats..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bats
The first reference is seen under the “Cultural aspects” section.
While visiting my girlfriend in Austin TX I was able to see the bats leaving the bridge for their nightly hunting.
The size of the Austin colony is HUGE!
himmiefan said
Well, I just got an e-mail from Henry. He wants this recipe too, so here goes:
Peach Cake from The Silver Palate Cookbook.
Note: You cook this in a small (9″) skillet. Double the recipe for a large skillet. Also, marinate the peaches beforehand in peach schnapps, Cointreau, or something like that. Works well if your peaches aren’t ripe enough, or even if they are!
4 Tbs. butter (I use salted butter)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup milk
2 – 3 peaches, peeled and sliced
Topping: Mix together until crumbly.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 grated nutmeg
4 Tbs butter.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil skillet. (I use cooking spray.)
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg. Sift dry ingredients together and beat half into the butter mixture. Beat in half milk. Beat in rest of dry ingredients and then rest of milk. (Note: batter will be a bit stiff. That’s okay because this is what I call a short cake. Also, I just dump all the ingredients together and mix.)
Pour batter into skillet. Arrange peaches on top. Bake for 25 minutes. After the 25 minutes, crumble the topping on the peaches and bake for about another 5 minutes. (Note: I always have to bake my cake longer, at least until the tester comes out clean and cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.)
Everytime I’ve baked this, I’ve gotten rave review. Enjoy!
Danielle said
OOOOOOO that sounds so good. 😛
Laurel said
Himmiefan – Thank you sooooo much for the recipe! We are just coming up on peach season here in a couple of weeks. This sounds like just the thing to go with my home-made almond ice-cream. Yummmmm! I definately like the idea of marinating the peaches in schnapps. Wooo-hooo!
I might try it with amaretto too.
Madonna said
How is everyone today?
I’m still stuck at work but it is like Christmas in July. We just got 20 inch iMacs, and I just watched Vicki get her feet rubbed. I have an LCD screen now so even though it is on the internet the picture, among other things, is beautiful.
Himmiefan,
Sounds good. We even have a peach tree, so I guess I’ll be trying it.
Danielle said
Wow! I wish I had a 20″ screen and LCD. Woohoo! Of course I watch it at my mom’s now on her 56″ TV

Hi All!
Margaret…yes what a wonderful way to loose my eyesight..blinded by Kyle Schmids beauty…LOL!!!
Danielle…I have 5 songs on the screensaver.
I wonder if LH is ok?…does anybody know?
On a different note…I just read the first black dagger brotherhood book…lord I went on amazon and ordered the rest!!! Why oh Why do they have to make the vamps not just incredibly beautiful…but sensitive and loving too….they are just spoiling us for the human men! LOL!!
😛 😛 😛
Margaret said
Ok peeps: I have to ask you to put me out of my BT misery. I was on my way home this afternoon and saw a half eaten apple. Guess who I thought of, and the first two don’t count. Norman. Shoot me please. I won’t be able to hold on until October.
Laurel said
I am about to read the first of the Black Dager Brotherhood series and it is good to know you liked them so much. I keep looking for them at our used book stores. Thanks!
Laurel said
Margaret – that is really sad. I probably would have thought the same thing. 🙂
Claire said
Laurel…if you are a big sucker for love…like I am…you will love the books…not to spoil anything…but man..you have this amazing…huge…tragic vamp….and the things that pour out of his mouth…well..it would be amazing to be loved that way….I don’t know who said it before…but I’ll say it again…a girl can dream…right?
lwildstar said
Margaret – you’ve got it bad girl!
But then again I passed the CVS on the way home and they had a pack of Huggies Little Swimmers in the window display with the beach stuff and I burst out laughing!
I’m going through double withdrawl – no “fresh Henry” and no Paul!
At least tomorrow is Friday!
Well I’m off to get some writting in before the thuderstorms start – its been raining on and off all day, very dreary.
Oh someone gave me a flash stick as a gift – I guess because of “promotion” (which they still ahven’t officially aknowledged) – I think I’m going to save the writing on it so that I can work on it at lunch if I have time!
Night all!

Picked up the Nora Roberts vamp serise at the used book store across the street from work – someone here recommened it – I’m going to go look for that Black Dagger Brotherhood collection – the bookstore is going out of busness because they are tearing down all those stores and putting up MORE condos and offices!

Off to write postcards and watch some more BT for the three thousandth time. Keep those cards and emails to lifetime going.
Its nice to see that even though the topic this week for the message board over there was army wives that BT held onto first for the majority of the week. We need to keep that up until October so they know we’re serious and we’re not going any where.
Margaret said
LH-how are you feeling?
Its nice to see that even thought the topic for the week over at the Lifetime message board was supposed to be army wives that BT has held the first position for a better part of the week. We need to keep that up until October so they know we’re serious and we’re not going anywhere.

Girls and guy,
I’m in the same boat with all of you. I’m seeing things everywhere that remind me of Blood Ties. I can’t even escape it at work. I just worked on an account for Ed Schmid Ford. Hmmmm….. I wonder if Kyle has any relatives who own a car dealership in Detroit. Also for Cincinnati we have Mike Castrucci Chevy, sounds like…. Mike Cellucci. Boy, I’ve got it bad.
rifkind said
Claire,
I am interested in hearing what you think of (Blood and Chocolate).
Is it any good?
Madonna said
Loves history,
How are you doing?
Claire,
I was thinking about your friend that you said was recently diagnosed with cancer. How is she? How are you holding up with all the kids.
Elizabeth and Dizey,
I hope you all and your parents are doing well.
Cree,
Hey, how are you? Maybe you can answer this for me. I’ve always thought that vets had to be brilliant. MD’s only have to know people and that in itself is hard, but just how many species of animals do you have to know the anatomy of and possible illnesses of to graduate veterinary school? Simple curiousity on my part.
DIZEY1 said
Hey kidz….Ya’ll been good while Henry and I were away today?? Henry’s a bit tied up right now 🙂
Skimming, there’s no way to really catch up here, so question to anyone. I was thinking while on the subject of Kyle not that we ever really leave said subject. I’ve read and heard interviews by Kyle and he’s spoken of his mother, and mentioned his grandfather, but has anyone heard if he has siblings, a father?? Do we know any other background info. on him?? I sit some days and the strangest things go through my head. Anyway inquiring minds they say I WANT TO KNOW. You know, what kind of childhood he had, is dad in the picture ? Just thought it a bit odd we’ve never heard any other scoop. There are things that happen in our lives that make us who we are and the same can be said for Mr. Schmid, what things transpired to give him this wisdom and older kinder soul that we’ve grown to adore in him….hmmmmmmm.
🙂 😛 😉
AlisaSG said
not sure if these will get lost, but ..(had to post them separately)..
Cree,
>> The person in charge of the seminar (another doctor) actually pulled me aside after the seminar and said she had never seen anyone score that result before and asked me if everything was okay and if I needed to “talk” about anything like there was something seriously psychologically wrong with me or like I was some kind of ticking time bomb or something. I told her that I function just fine and nothing is “wrong” with me, I am just happier being alone.
..
..
I’m an introvert too. My niece, she’s worse than me. Her grade school teacher thought she was being abused (sexually – by her daddy, when such things were first hitting the news), because the kid was too quiet and too shy. Well, if anything, her dad just liked to ignore her as much as she ignored the world. That’s just her personality. But convinve the teacher that??
Seriously, she’s a little better now (sociable, when it’s required) than back then, but she’s still quite happy and content to live in her own little shell and keep the rest of the world OUT. I’d say she was naive to an extreme, and paid dearly for that (her first hubby did beat her because he was a liar and that was his way of controlling his anger management). But she’s grown stronger and wiser because of it.
Still, leave her be, and she’ll retreat from the world anytime and be totally happy within herself. It’s her personality, and something the world just doesn’t understand. In her situation, it’s not her looks, but how her moods operate. We’ve watched her grow up, and some things just never change.
😉
AlisaSG said

>> By the way…scroll over my name…is that not the face of an Angel?

DIZEY1 said
Hey kidz…just checking to see if everyone’s been good while Henry and I were playing. “I’m sorry Henry’s tied up right now” , He’ll see you when he’s fed and refreshed. We had a wet 4th also, but that doesn’t stop us , sat under the gazebo and drank and listened to music and chatted till the working peeps had to leave. 🙂 😉 😛
Scary but I was thinking the other day about Kyle, although he’s never far from my thoughts, but my question is this… We’ve heard and read interviews from Mr. Schmid and he’s spoken of his mother, and his grandfather. What I wonder about is does he have siblings, or where is his father? Things happen in our lives that mold us into who we are. Good or bad we’re our history in a sense, so I just wondered what’s happened to give this budding young actor so much depth and wisdom that we’re so magnetized to? Is it just me? Am I the only curious (ok nosey) one?? Inquiring minds want to know what drives my man to emote so well?
My first post didn’t so I had to re-write all of this hope this one works…. 😛

Hey Diz, I was just wondering. Are you Cajun?
Tango said
Sorry – I know that was out of the blue, just trying to catch you before you retire for the evening.
DIZEY1 said
Tango yep on my mom’s side. Her maiden name was LeBlanc. Speaking of Cajuns did you or anyone see on Food Network I think it was Tuesday Alton Brown did a segment on Cajun and Creole cooking and where we started. Did a whole schpeel (SP??) on where Acadians came from. We were run out of Canada in 1755 it was supposedly the largest I migration of like 6- 7000 Acadians from Nova Scotia “The Great Upheaval” I think is what it was called.
Tango sorry for the ramble. Hey why did you want to know??
AlisaSG said
Cree-
>> Maybe there is some deep rooted problem or something that I am not aware of. I don’t think there is, but who knows?
..
..
If it is (naturally) part of your personality to withdraw or shy away, it’s not a problem; it’s actually part of a (happy) contentment factor built within you. It’s usually when we fail to understand the other people around us, when we -ourselves- feel most insecure (and also tend to think the world is staring right at us for reasons that make our imaginations run wild). Sometimes, those are factors that were put there by *bullies* during our school years. Other times, I don’t know what the cause would be (our minds torturing us into thinking things that are exaggerations from what the *bullies* told us in our earlier years?).
I’ve worked with some people who act all bubbly and are usually surrounded by people all the time, yet I never realized or knew they often have insecurities within their personality, because of various factors they themselves are living with – which, part of that has to do with them being able to love (or respect) themself. One person confessed this to be true, and she’s very vocal most of the time and often surrounded by people whenever possible, especially at lunch and break, and the constant voice in the entire group (quiet people like me have a difficult time breaking into those sorts of conversations, so I just shy away and stay away from everyone).
She’s also a huge tease (sometimes because she likes to get our *goat* – just to help make us laugh in a “gotcha!” kind of way – but she also does that about 90% of the time), so it’s difficult to know what’s real and what isn’t with her, also. Her way of coping is to drink, and forget about the pains of reality around her. And when she drink-drinks (alcoholic), it’s to knock herself out knowing she’ll wake up with a horrible migraine.
———-
And that’s what I don’t understand. I get migraines without drinking, and they’re NOT fun, so why would anyone do that knowing that they’re deliberately going to be sick the next day? And our wonderful society has made magic pills, to prevent feeling those killer headaches from drinking too much.
I don’t drink, so I’m the oddball (party pooper!).
so if anyone likes Shirley Temples, ooo-la-la! you’ve got company! 😀
(they taste better, too! nice and sweet!)
———-
People similar to the person I mentioned don’t know how to love themself, and make up for that by surrounding their time with everyone else to hide from within themselves.
Some of those same people (bold, with loud voices), who often seem to be the life of the party, are among the loneliest people on the planet. When I studied personalities, and this issue came up, I was shocked to hear that they were more insecure within themselves than I was without as many friends as they had. And I used to think something was wrong with me, because I could count my true (forever type) friends on one hand.
As himmiefan wrote,
>> This article said that those people we think are judging us are usually not. In fact, they’re usually not even thinking about us. They’re wrapped up in their own insecurities.
..
..
another item.. people can be looking right at you, but their mind could be a million miles away; and they’re not criticizing you at all, but focusing on some point in time, and thinking of their own life without telling about it. I usually try to focus on a wall or a painting than a person, unless I’m in a room full of people at meetings and the topic doesn’t involve me.. then I sometimes find myself drifting just past the strands of hair on their head.. close, but not quite actual eye contact.

Chery,
>> Also, if you look closely at Vicki’s nails she does have a french manicure at least some of the time.
I think it was the 2nd story “Bad Juju”, Henry is seen with a nice manicure, too.
Notice his polished fingernails – when he stops Vicki in her tracks and mentally helps her to visualize his true nature (the scene where he asked her to NEVER forget what he *is*).. 😀
prtfvr mentioned about noticing Kyle’s hands, but I noticed how lovely his fingernails looked, especially in that scene with Vicki!
😉
Tango said
Sorry Diz, stepped out for a moment. I don’t want to spoil the surprise. You will see tomorrow. 🙂 I think it is a cool thing to be. Met some Cajuns on vacation once when I was a teenager, and they were a fun bunch.
DIZEY1 said
Yes we can be a little on the live life to the fullest. Or as we say down here
“laissez les bon temps rouler” and our “joie de vivre”. Good people, will give you the shirt off their back. My mom’s relatives live in what we call the country. But now not so countryfied, getting like the bog cities. Once you’ve got a Wal-Mart or OMG a Super Wal-Mart the rest is history. My great aunt and uncle live in a little town called Roanoak, LA. not Virginia. I love those little towns. A little grocery down the road a piece. Life is slow and simple, I kind of envy them sometimes. Pretty cool. Well my blog familia’ going to crawl into bed with Henri and laissez les bon temps rouler wherever they want to.

Tango said
Good Night Dizey! Sweet dreams and rest well, for tomorrow we party!
Laurel said
LH movie is not dead! We are all rehersing our lines and I’m making costurmes as fast as I can. We just took a little break, that’s all. Besides you were feeling too bad to be out doing the super hero driver routine. 🙂
Hope you’re feeling better, movie wouldn’t be the same without you.
Laurel said
Tango – love that picture you’ve got hiding behind your name, but I think I like the one Dizey has even better. Where did that pick come from Beth?
Almond Ice Cream – I use a basic custard ice-cream base then put in 1 tsp of almond flavoring instead of vanilla. Some times I add toasted slivered almonds as well. Just be careful not to burn them. I stir in the almonds after churning but before I put it into the freezer to get more firm. I actually prefer it without the nuts. Goes great with peach and cherry pies! Or warm brownies! Or any chocolate…chains… uh… what was I talking about?
Help.
himmiefan said
Laurel – yum! Thanks! Sounds great.
Loves History – great to have you back! Hope you’re feeling better. Personally, I was distracted from the movie by work. You know, that work thing really gets in the way sometimes. Don’t they know I have more interesting things to do like talk with you guys?
Anywho, I’ve written a very silly opening scene and hope to have it up and running on writing.com tomorrow. Now, don’t expect Shakespeare; my writing’s not as good as Anzia’s yet. Talk at ya’ll later.
Anzia said
Himmiefan- Hon, my writing ain’t all that great. Don’t worry. btw, what’s your name on there? I was looking for Himmiefan but couldnt find it. 😦 Silly is good.
LH- It’s good to “hear” from you. Sorry to hear that you think your plot was destroyed and that you think we destroyed anything. I’m totally looking forward to my glamoured (is that a word?) black leather mini & zip up vest! Dude and the BOOTS!
Tango- I ment to do this earlier but THANK YOU FOR THE CARD! ^_^
To everyone else. Part 2 is DONE! I’m not giving you the link yet but I SWEAR you’ll probably have it in four hours or so. ^_^ I’m warning you that it alternates between being steamles to S-T-E-A-M-Y. So DO NOT READ AT WORK. ALthough i LOVE hearing how you guys react while at work to it. ^_^ Any REALLY violent reactions should be sent to anziacromer@yahoo.com. ^_^ And, again, I have to thank NINA! The THINGS that girl does to make sure you guys get the steamiest steamy scenes! (Seriously! the vids she sends me via YouTube would kill a weaker heart!) LOVE YA NINA! Okay. With that said… look for the final installment of the dinner scene in about 4.5 hours (it’s 4:24 am here…)
Margaret said
DIZEY1: Need your email. Can you send it to: margaret_32955@yahoo.com
Madonna said
Dizey,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Beth,
Happy Birthday to you!
Have a ton of fun today and tell Henry Madonna says Hi, and ask him when he’s coming to see me.
I’ve got something to send to you this evening when I get home from work!
lwildstar said
mzrgaret – did your box come yet? I don’t have the tracking number here at work to check
Elizabeth – your baby bat is on his way
Well I used up all my free time catching up on the post so I’ll be back at lunch!
Danielle said
Happy Birthday Beth Dahling! Check your email. I sent you something. Hopefully you can open it.
Yay! It’s Friday! Having Wednesday off did not help my tiredness from race weekend. I can’t seem to catch up.
Tango said
Laurel – sorry I missed you last night. As you can tell from my convo with Beth I was in and out – trying to get some work done. I love my picture too (behind the name) it sends my mind to reeling everytime I see it. Of course, I am the one I see sitting in that chair 😉 And then there’s Z’s picture – one actually needs a little alone time with that one. I am not sure where Beth’s picture is from. Oh do tell, Dizey!
Anzia, you are welcome for the card. How was vaca #2? Did the munchkins behave?
LH – glad to see you surfacing again. Hope that you’re feeling better. I’m sorry you think we destroyed your plot, but I think the lul is coming from people being on vacation and just being busy with their summer life. I am sure it will pick up again soon.
Tango said
Now everyone pause, and take a breath
For on this day we celebrate Beth
Cajun born and Cajun bred
Pure optimism fills her head
Rose-colored glasses is her thing to wear
No doubt she’ll be a millionaire.
Kind words always find their way
Off her tongue and to our day
Her friends love her, oh yes they do
And value her cheerful point of view
There’s just one thing that we’ve got to say,
Here’s wishing you a beautiful day!
Happy Birthday Dizey! Love ya girlfriend!
Appréciez votre jour spécial avec Henry!
Ne faites rien que je ne ferais pas!
Danielle said
That was very clever Tango. I doubt I could have done that, all the rhyming, yeah right. Good job!
Tango said
Thanks Danielle =)
Anzia said
Tango- LOVE the rhyme! And to answer your question about the munchkins… Nope. They were horrid little things most of the time. My aunt and uncle keep telling me ‘thank you’ for coming ’cause they say they wouldn’t have been able to handle the kids. I think that about sums up the horror they caused rather nicely. Not that their parents handle them too much anyways. The only time they do is when their patience runs out and it turns into a screaming match between the parent (or parents- that one’s fun!) and the child in question. *sigh*
Dizey- HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE! You must do lots and lots of unspeakably naughty things with Henry tonight. Make him pay for his behavior in the dinner scene pt 2. ^_^
Henry/Vicki Scene- PART 2 LINK: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1286851 There ya go. Enjoy yourselves… ^_^
Danielle said
AAAAAAHHHHHHH! *screaming in frustration* Somebody had to come to the door right at that moment didn’t they? Z you are such a tease.
Anzia said
^_^ yup, i’m a naughty girl. But not nearly as naughty as Henry. That bad boy. I’m not sure if I made it evident but he planned it so that … well i’ll tell all later if no one figures it out. (which could be due to me being distracted by what his tongue was doing and nothing else 😉 ) d
rifkind said
Well Z you did it!
You nailed the sensuality and innuendo with lomain noodles…
Your writing is getting better and better!
Are you planning to become a Romance authot by any chance??
I could just SEE Henry and Vicki in his kitchen..
YUM!
Anzia said
rifkind- that’s one of my dream jobs. I’m not nearly as good as i’d need to be to make it as a writer though. I just love doing it. It’s like playing with your imaginary friends! ^_^ I’d love to be a published author at some time in my life. And romance is DEFINITELY what I write. ^_^ That and mysteries. (not so good on the second on though…)
Danielle said
It seemed pretty good to me Anzia. Suspense, a slow build up, leaving us wanting more, panting for me.
Danielle said
I mean panting for more not me. Oopsie!
rifkind said
Z,
From what I’ve learned it is very difficult to make a full-time living as an author. Tanya is one of the few that I have heard of that can survive by writing alone. I am not sure if the Canadian system gives authors extra cash.. I read something on Tanya or Heyboy’s site (Can’t remember which) about some sort of a check given to writers as a way to compensate them for books that were taken out of the library instead of the author getting royalties..
I met a SciFi author (the one who coined CyberPun), and at one time he had 3 books in the works at once.. so he decided to write full time…
It didn’t work.
He ended up going back to work as a technical writer. The SciFi that he writes is for the LOVE of it.. not a full-time job..
I really WISH that we could all make a decent living writing..
rifkind said
Thankt should be CyberPunk..
DIZEY1 said
Hi ya’ll . Thanks to everyone in my blog family , tears ok Tango yes I shed a tear or two. I love all of ya’ll to bits. You people rock, somedays you are the ROCK!! 🙂 I have got to stop catching up to read *Z’s* latest addendum I’ll be back when I’m done. 😉 😛
lwildstar said
Anzia – *OMG* that is fantastic! you are such a tease!
Now I’ll have to go back and read part one followed by part two!
Ok – I’m dense – what was he planning? If you don’t want to post – email me LognWldstr@aol.com – its been that kinda day so far and my brain is just mush – ok maybe I’m just lost in the imagry !
my day has sucked do far and this was a real pick-me-up!
lwildstar said
currently I am sitting here addressing postcards! Bad girl I used the label maker here at work…..
Well things seem slow right now – I’ve still got about a half hour left to get “personal things” done.
Talk to ya all tonight
rifkind said
Hippo Birdy to Dizey!
Hippo Birdy to You!
Say, what episode is your name-URL picture from?? Henry looks so intense there..
DIZEY1 said
OMG…..*Z* that was a nice little birthday gift. WOW, baby you can write some good STEAMY stuff. Gotta love tongues, they’re one of my favorite body parts 🙂 😉
Oh kidz my URL pic is from Heart of Ice when Vicki says what the little prince doesn’t help the homeless. Low blow for mon Henri doux. I love the generous sweet giving side of that Blood sucking bastard son of the king. He’s my boy 😛 🙂 😉
DIZEY1 said
Oooppss thank’s for all my ecards. Dani girl you rock, cool powerpoint my sweet dude 🙂
*Z* thanks for my little monkey card I loved it. I’d love some more of the V & H dinner dance. Just when it gets good…..a knock @ the door. I don’t know about Henry but I can’t handle much more, he needs to just take her PLEASE 😛 🙂 😉
Cree said
Dizey: Happy Birthday! Hope it’s great one!
Z: HOT scene! You are an great writer. I was on the edge of my seat reading it and drooling ever so slightly while trying to savor each and every *delicious* moment! Eating Lo Mein will never be the same for me ever again! I may be a little dense too, but I am with Iwildstar in the fact that I didn’t get what Henry was planning either.
Danielle said
I was hoping to make that as my screensaver but powerpoint isn’t able to do that. Did you like the little sounds I put in? I loved the screeching tires with the picture of Norman/Henry getting ready to kiss Vicki, licking his lips and all. It was like hold up wait a minute. Ew!
DIZEY1 said
Thanx DOC C…. and you are soooo right on the Lo Mein, noodles will now take on a totally erotic meaning. Slippery little suckers aren’t they?? The quest to find said noodles sounds like so much fun.
HMMMM…… Spend a day in bed w/Henry and chinese food, and some kind of dessert, rub him down with chocolate maybe and strawberries could come into play. I think that’s what I’ll wish for on this birthday. It could happen 🙂 😉
Danielle said
Beth-How is your dad doing? I mean to ask and always forget.
Cree said
Alisa:
>>If it is (naturally) part of your personality to withdraw or shy away, it’s not a problem; it’s actually part of a (happy) contentment factor built within you.
That is actually exactly how I feel, like it IS a happy contentment factor built within me. The only time I am ever truely happy is when I am by myself. Yes, I do get lonely sometimes, and when that happens I will invite someone over. The only problem is that once they have been here for about 10 minutes, I am ready for them to leave! Strange, I know, but that’s just the way I am.
>>Sometimes, those are factors that were put there by *bullies* during our school years. Other times, I don’t know what the cause would be (our minds torturing us into thinking things that are exaggerations from what the *bullies* told us in our earlier years?).
The funny thing about the whole “bully” scenario is that my shyness and anxiety didn’t start until I was in college (and it has only gotten progressively worse sense). In high school and before that, I was just the opposite. I always had to be in the spotlight, whether it be as the star of a school play, lead dancer, instrumental soloist in front of an entire football statium of people with all eyes and ears solely on me, etc. I CRAVED attention. I was actually pretty popular in high school. I guess I was part of the “mean girls” clique. The ones that everyone hated, but secretly wanted to be a part of. The ones who make fun of others for not having the coolest clothes or the most expensive cars, etc. (Yes, I do regret now who I was back then, but in high school you do what you have to do to fit in and be popular). I don’t know what happened to change me into the person I am now, but I like myself alot better now, I do know that. I am a much better person now.
As himmiefan wrote,
>> This article said that those people we think are judging us are usually not. In fact, they’re usually not even thinking about us. They’re wrapped up in their own insecurities.
This concept is a little hard for me to grasp, probably because of the way I was raised. I come from a fairly well-off family, members of the country club, always invited to the fancy social events every year, etc. I was raised to act a certain way, with my head held high, always expected to be the brighest and best at everything I did and never settling for second best, never to be without class and poise (or arrogance as I see it) as someone will always be watching my every move (what a horrible thing to instill in a child’s mind). My mother and grandmother (my mom’s mom) are very catty (down right mean) and love to gossip about anyone and everyone. They are constantly judging everyone around them, especially at fancy social functions. They are always saying things like “OMG, can you believe what so-and-so is wearing tonight?”. And they always make sure to say those things loudly enough for that particular person to hear them and make them feel inadequate or bad about themselves.
So, growing up around that and seeing how my family acts, I am just always under the impression that others are constantly judging as well. And I have been brain-washed to believe that I am always “on display” as my grandmother likes to put it. Thats why I acted the way I acted in high school, because I was raised to believe that I was better than everybody else. Now that I am older, I see how stupid that is and how much I despise my family for acting the way they act. I have had serious conversations with both my mother and my grandmother about how badly they treat people and how hurtfull their words are, and they still don’t see anything wrong with the way they act. I despise being around that so much now that I haven’t even been home to visit in the past 3 years for fear that some of their personalities may once again rub off on me. Anyway, maybe thats why I am happier being alone now, so that I don’t have to deal with things like that and all of the catty gossip and bad mouthing others. I like who I am now and have I have actually found God in the past few years, whom I never knew before, and that makes me an even happier person and truely content. Ok, now I think I am rambling. Sorry for the long post. Thanks, Alisa, for all of the advise and words of encouragement.
DIZEY1 said
Dani, he’s doing ok, these crazy Dr’s one doesn’t know what the other’s doing.
The infection’s being controlled by the antibiotics so the foot’s looking better. Problem is how long will it last & does he go through it all over again in 6 mths. He’d finally accepted somewhat the amputatuion, and now some other Dr. says maybe we can save it , but at what cost ultimately. So right now he’s feeling pretty good. Sorry for the ramble. 😉
DIZEY1 said
I’ll check back in a bit. Going to drag my butt to the gym. So I’ll have many more birthdays. Like they say if you’ve got your health you have everything , very true !! 🙂 😛 😛
Now off to sweat !!!!
Danielle said
Wow Cree! I say good for you. Yes I always despised the girls in school that acted all high and mighty. I don’t believe that they were not judging me. I was one of the kids that was teased mercilessly. I think you would have been the ones I would have been uncomfortable around. Even today if I meet anyone from school at the store or church they ignore me, look away etc. I can sometimes here them snickering behind there hands. I wish more people would realize the harm they might have done and regret it. By the time high school came along things eased up quite a bit and I had friends from pretty much all the different cliques.
I myself am taking medication for depression and anxiety. Part of it is hereditary the other part is from all the teasing. My doctor said it is so deep rooted therapy won’t help me.
The difference between me and you and others on here. I am not content and happy living in my own world. I crave human contact. That is why I finally went to the doctor to get on medication. I was sick and tired of being terrified of going out with my friends or just going to the store. I wanted a boyfriend and I was too scared to go for it. Now I feel much better. I still can’t just walk up to any guy and start talking to him but at least I am sitting at the bar having a couple drinks with friends now.
Lady Afrodyte said
Happy Day of Your Birth, Dizey!!! May you have many, many more.
For those who asked… My birthday is next week. 7-11. I’ll be turning 23.
lwildstar said
wow its like reading about myself sometimes (Above post Cree and Alisa) – thats what I love about this place.
Just popped in to see if things picked up.
I only managed to get 5 postcards done at lunch – I’ll do the rest tonight and mail them tomorrow.
the chocolate fairy made a stop after lunch so now I’m buzzed on sugar!
well i guess I should get back to work
Danielle said
God I wish I were 23 again. I know what all of you are going to say. Yeah like 29 is really old. Compared to 23 it is, to me anyway.
Lady Afrodyte said
People usually assume I am older, so when I say how old I really am, they are always amazed. Sometimes I don’t know whether to take it as a compliment or not… Ha ha!
Anzia said
Okay, Z’s SCENE SPOILERS, Don’t read if you don’t want insider info… well writer’s intention anyway…
FINAL WARNING
I’m GONNA DO IT
So, Henry was going to be REALLY naughty and get Vicki really hot and then leave her be when the grocery delivery guy got there (which is who is at the door). He wanted to make her feel what he felt most of the time: barely able to control his passoin for her. It backfired… he got a little “invovled” in his lesson.
I WAS going to just leave it there, but I feel that you guys might come and torture me if I do. So, we’ll see where we go from there. I have a few ideas…
So, If anyone has any suggestions or specific things (i.e. a type of undergarment on either Vicki or Henry, a specific food, movement, etc.) email me and let me know. I’ll see what I can do. ^_^ I figure I should let you guys have some fun with this too.
Danielle said
I used to hate being carded now I drag my license with me everywhere hoping I do.
Danielle said
Oooooo Anzia I have always loved the boxer briefs. Will you have Henry go commando or not? I also like those t-shirts that guys wear called the wife-beaters(horrid name I know). They showcase the muscles so well.
Anzia said
rifkind- i’d never be JUST a writer. It’s something like only 10% of writers make as ONLY writers. Thus the law career asperations. Well, any career asperations will work right now. ^_^
Claire said
Good afternoon Blog family!
Rifkind…Blood and Chocolate was excellent!!! Olivier Martinez can be so evil but so delicious at the same time…everytime he opens his mouth and I hear that French accent OOOOHLALA!!
Tango…Love your way with words..that was a great birthday poem….you’ll have to do one for me next month…oh and Kyle too…Yes..we will be celebrating our birthday at my house…it’s on a Friday…he’ll be unavailable until Monday!! LOL!! ;P
Dizey……
Mon cher Beth, je te souhaite le meilleur anniversaire au monde, vous suis une dame spéciale, et je me suis développé très affectueux de toi. Je pense que nous sommes alot de même et nous partageons un certain penchant pour Kyle aussi. Laisser tellement toujours toujours le bon roulement de périodes mon cher !
Now I’m off to read Anzias latest….I hope I don’t have a fangirl swoon!! LOL!!
Anzia said
Danielle- Christina Cox already said that she thinks Henry goes comando. ^_^ There will DEFINITELY be boxer briefs at one point. I LOVE THOSE THINGS! OMG! They were created by an Angel to fulfill the fantasies of millions of women (anyone remember the Micheal Jordan Haines commercials???)! And i LOVE wife-beaters. I was definitely going where your mind wants the scene to go. ^_^
Danielle said
Sounds like we think alike. The tightie whities are to gay and the boxers just hide to much. The wife-beater-enough said. I remember the Michael Jordan Hanes commercials.
Claire said
OMG!!!!
What The! Anzia…that was hot!!! Oh boy…if I had a man he’d be in trouble right now LOL!!!! You are on imaginative girl…..noodles huh?
loved it! but now have severe craving for Henry/Kyle!!!!
Laurel said
Happy Birthday Beth!
I hope you are having a great time and will get a chance to do some serious partying. 🙂
Btw, I finally got the wrapping paper on your present and he…un…I mean the present… should be arriving this evening. Hehehe
Be carwful peeling away the tape,
and remove the bow last…
😉 🙂 😉
Anzia said
Laurel- OMG! Laughing so hard… OMG! Just don’t use duck tape! it works better than some home waxing kits!
Laurel said
I meant careful, cautious, gentle even.
carwful? what the heck? I guess I should go find my reading glasses before I send any more weird messages.
lwildstar said
Anzia – your latest brought to mind a scifi/romance book a friend gave me years ago (can’t remember the name or auther) where the man in question “allowed” the woman to feed him tibits of food, of course with all that licking and whatnot – well I’m sure you can see where that headed…
I can see Henry feeding Vicki strawerries and chasing the juice down her chin…
ok not a good line of thought for work!
Claire – I second your emotion!
And Danielle – wait til your 39 – then 29 won’t seem so old!
Unfourtunatly the world has eneded the everyone is dead – and no one told me! I think there are only four of us left in the office and if not for the radio I have on, you could hear a pin drop. I wish i could sneek out, but I don’t want to risk it. With my luck, someone will call after I leave and I’ll never hear the end of it Monday!
So I popped a disk in to the computer and started writing – for the last hour!. I actually remember where I left off and should be able to merge the two together with very little work! Yippee.
Well i guess I should go see if there is any real work to be done.
Danielle said
How would you know that Anzia, personal experience?
Danielle said
Laurel-What does the wrapping paper look like? Is it cellophane? I wonder if the new Glad Press and Seal would work.
DIZEY1 said
Madame Claire, merci beaucoup , je pense que nous pourrions être des jumeaux, deux personnes partageant le même esprit. Kyle est très sexy à moi. If any of the above is incorrect we can blame Babelfish.
Muscles durs de roche, et un sourire qui est orgasmique!!!! 🙂 😛
Just came from the gym and my man can get me through a RIGOROUS workout. I just picture his fine little butt strolling into the gym all cute boyish, and I push and groan that much more. Try it you’ll like it.
Found these yesterday and I just love this dude……

I love Norman, too trippy to not like him 🙂 😉
Anzia said
Danielle- OMG! LOL! Press & Seal! *giggles* oh the naughty that could come from that! As to the other…um… to explain how I know that is a LONG story. the cliffnotes version is that duck tape was used in my seventh grade sex ed class. Lots of embarrassment and pain was involved in that particular class period!
rifkind said
Hey Gals,
I just reviewed all the pictures over at Bloodties-Blood Lines for the
“Heart of Fire” episonde.. Enjoy!
Here are tow of my favorite pics..
I just LOVE his arm and chest in this one, amazing what good lighting can do to enhance his muscles
http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=891&fullsize=1
and his chest and abs in the second one

Danielle said
A sex ed class? Too funny. I am heading home now. It is raining and we are expecting thunderboomers. Yay! I am going to try and head over Kelly’s. Talk to you later.
Lady Afrodyte said
I’ll have to scroll back up and read this story you all are raving about… But first! Lunch!
Claire said
HAHAHA!!!! Laurel…I agree with Anzia…I hope you were careful with the tape!!!!
WE must all be of one mind….Ahhh boxer briefs….wife beaters!! So funny that everyone knows that term now!!! It was the thing, to call those undershirts in NYC, for many, many years!
If I ever saw Kyle/Henry in boxer briefs….I’d die a happy very happy fan!!!!
Ha! Iwildstar…wait until Danielle is 49 like I’m going to be…that’s when you really go….Huh? when did I get this age? LOL!! I swear I don’t feel a day over 23!! then I look in the mirror…LOL!!!!
Anzia said
Claire- You dont’ look like your 49!
Claire said
Thanks dear Anzia…but I don’t look 23 either! Heck if I did…I would already be in Canada! LOL!!! You know what I mean? 😛 😛
DIZEY1 said
Et quand vous regardez dans le miroir belle Claire avec les cheveux rouges, vous verrez la belle femme que nous connaissons et amour.
If this translated properly I didn’t insult you. Nous sommes les femmes vivaces fières fortes, et Kyle embrassera notre beauté.
WOMEN OF AGE, WHICH KICKED BEAUTY’S ASS…..RULE YAY US!!!!!! WE ROCK
🙂 😉 😛 😛
Anzia said
LOL, there are just WAY too many amazingly attractive men in the world and not enough time to partake of all of them. ^_^ Must work on the stamina thing… *giggles wickedly* oh, such a perfectly naughty day…
himmiefan said
Happy Birthday Dizey Beth!!!!
Lordy mercy Ms. Anzia, you’ve got it down!
Cree said
Danielle: Sorry to hear you were teased so much as a kid. Glad the meds are helping you, though. I tried meds for my anxiety issues, but they made me sick, so I just have to deal with the anxiety.
I know what you mean about wanting to be 23 again! I will be 29 this September and am already depressed thinking about how that will be my last year in my 20’s. Where did the time go? I feel so old now!
By the way, where is that pic from that is behind your name? I think that is the first one anyone has had that I couldn’t place and it is driving me crazy!
Anzia said
Himmiefan- I’m glad you like it. ^_^
Okay, off to run errands. talk at ya’ll later. Enjoy the steamy naughtiness! ^_^
Claire said
Dizey…..
Merci tellement Beth, celui était une chose si gentille à dire ! Je sens la même manière au sujet de toi. Oui de façon ou d’autre je pense que Kyle embrassera notre beauté et sagesse qui vient avec notre âge. Il semble très mûr, assez comprendre que les femmes sont comme le vin… que nous devenons meilleurs avec du temps… pas nous ?
We Do Kick some butt…don’t we!!!! 😛 😛 😛
lwildstar said
ok my little linguists (SP) I need to know what Two Swords is in either Spanish or French – or anything that sounds sexy – if I ever let any of you read my story – whcich seems to have grown in to a short novel? – you’ll find out why….
No fair you guys speaking in French – I have no idea what you’re saying and I just KNOW i’m missing something good!
and thatnks alot Danielle – I’ll never look at Glad press and seal the same again! LOL….thats as bad as Little Swimmers!
Ok we’re having power issues here so I’m going to log off!
Anzia said
That’s okay, Nina is having issues with Lo Mien noodles now. ^_^
Claire said
deux épées-my darling Iwildstar! LOL!!!
(two swords)
OOOH I’m sorry!! I just love my native language…it is sexy isn’t it?
You can tell someone to (se casser)f@#k off and say it with a smile and they will never know! LOL!!! remember in case you ever go to another one of those date thingys!I wish I had been with you…I woould have given you so many naughty things to say to the fools!
On another note…I have no friends here in Va! and I am feelimg very lonely…man I wish some of you were close by!
I have to stop being so shy around men…so I’ve decided that if pool Dad is at the pool on Sunday…I am going to ask him if he would like to do something sometime…I’m not even looking for romance…just a friend…theres so many nice things to do in this town during summer…but I have no one to hang with!
I love to dance…drink wine….listen to music…Hmmm…OH Henry where are you!!! 😉 😉
Would love to go to N.O and hang with Dizey!!
Next Saturday is Bastille day…man I wish I was in Canada..had a blast last year!
O.K enough of my whining…just had to get it out ya know?
see yas later!
Madonna said
Dizey,
Happy Birthday again. I sent you something so if you haven’t already check your email. You and Henry have a blast tonight okay.
Anzia,
I’m not usually into fanfic, but you ROCK girl!!! Oh, and what makes you think you aren’t good enough to write professionally? That is just as good if not better than some of the romances I’ve read.
Cree,
I’m glad that I joined this little family. I’ve been alot happier since I have. I’m very very glad that you decided to join too. As I said before, we all bring a little something special to the party.
Ms Gypsy,
Thank you again for giving us a home.
Loves History,
We haven’t abandoned the movie. We just couldn’t very well plan it when you weren’t around, could we. How are you feeling by the way?
Claire,
How are you holding up with your angels? By the way I was thinking about your friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. How is she doing?
Anzia said
You guys are GREAT for an ego! ^_^ I have self-esteem issues that (if you can’t tell) spill over to A LOT of areas. My writing being one of ’em. I know ya’ll were talking about shyness and such. I said that I worked through mine, that’s not a lie, but it’s funny that I can’t defend myself. If I’m arguing or debating, no problem but if someone has insulted me or slighted me in anyway, i won’t do anything about it. I get TERRIFIED just by the idea of standing up to the person. I don’t like putting myself out for ridcule. So, me giving you guys these story/scene things is a REALLY big deal. Thus the apologizing, the disclaimers, everything.
Madonna- I don’t have the right kind of polish. I’m slowly coming to accept the idea that I might produce okay stuff. (I really don’t like calling myself a writer- even though I do at times)
okay enough about my secrets…
how was everyone’s day?
lwildstar said
Clair – Thanks! Where are you in VA? I’m just outside of DC in MD.
Now I need Two Swords in Spanish or another sexy sounding language so I can pick!
When the powere finally settled down and stopped blinking on and off I got another hour of writing in! yippee.
I am going to have to start going back to read what I’ve written because I’m forggeting things I’ve “said”…oh well.
I’ve got fifteen more postcards to do – but I ‘m going to have to wait til tomorrow – time to go read and off to bed. I’m going antiquing with my mom again, and she is going to run me ragged!
Night all!
Madonna said
Since today is the birthday of our resident optimist I thought I’d share a cute little joke with ya’ll.
There are these twin 7 yr old boys, Jeffry and Joey. They are exactly alike in every way but one. Jeff is an eternal pessimist and Joey is an eternal optimist. Their parents have became very worried about them so they decided to take them to a pshycologist.
After examining the boys the doctor decides that he needs to run a few tests and experiments with the boys.
One day he takes the Jeff the pessimest into a room filled with wall to wall toys and games. Everything a seven year old could want. But right dead center in the room was a pile of stinky manure six ft. tall and six ft. wide. The doctor reassures the parents that everything will be ok, so the doc leaves him there. When they returned to get him after an hour they find Jeff curled up in a fetal position crying his eyes out. He immediately removes him from the room.
After that the pshycologist repeats the process with Joey, the optimist. When the doctor and the parents returned after an hour, little Joey was no where to be found. Just as they began a frantic search Joey’s head pops up out of the pile of manure where he had been tunneling.
“Joey, his mother asks, what in the world are you doing son?”
With a big grin on his dirty face he says, “Well I figured with all the manure there just had to be a pony in here somewhere!”

Anzia, I’m kind of here.
Cree said
Madonna: I am very glad I joined this family as well. I have noticed a lift in my spirits since I have. It’s nice to have a place where I can be open about my insecurities without being judged and know that there are others here that have similar issues as myself. I am never this open and honest with anyone face to face because I am too shy to be. So, thanks everyone for listening and being there.
Ms. Gypsy: Can we please get a new page? This one is taking forever to load with now over 1100 posts! Thanks.
Madonna said
Hey Cree,
I am actually much better now than what I used to be. Growing up I was so insecure with myself that when I spoke no one could hear me. I can develop close relationships but it takes me forever to warm up to someone. I find comfort in the fact that everyone has some insecurities. Even Kyle Schmid said in one of his interviews that he wishes he were as confident as Henry.
By the way, I’ve always thought vets had to be either brilliant or have spotless memories. I’ve always wondered how many species of animals you have to know the anatomies and illnesses of to graduate vet school?
Anzia said
I asked if anyone was around then got waylaid by family! ^_^
Madonna said
Wow this page is taking a loonng time to load. I timed it just now and it took nine minutes. For a fairly shy crowd we sure can gab can’t we?
Cree said
Madonna: I don’t know if I would use the word “brilliant”, but I always did have an easy time in school, even skipped a few grades because I was so bored when I was younger ( I was reading on a 4th grade level when I entered kindergarten). I am the type that can hear things once and remember it. Never really cracked a book or did any homework and got straight A’s. I guess I got lucky that way. My brain works a little differently than mosts. Can’t really explain it, but most things just make sense to me without me having to think about it too much.
I can’t even begin to count the number of species I had to learn in vet school. All the farm animals, dogs, cats, all of the exotic pets (rodents, reptiles, fish, etc.) and they even made us learn humans along with it due to the fact that veterinarians are the first line of defense when it comes to a bioterrism attack (like anthrax or other biological agents). And trust me when I say that no 2 species are alike! It (vet school) was a very trying experience to put it mildly. Luckily for me I knew I was only going to be in small animal practice and only working with dogs and cats, so I just learned the other species well enough to pass the tests, then forgot it all! There is only so much room in my tiny little brain!

Hey kidz checking in before I TURN in…… Thanks again Ms.Madonna, Margaret, Claire, Tango (limerick girl), everyone who sent cards and birthday greetings to me they are so much appreciated. After all we at the Betty Ford Clinic for Henry-Kyleitis affliction are family now.
Oh and with doses of Good Medicine doled out by our good Dr. Z, although in fragments just BIG enough to keep us hooked I might add, we just may last until OCTOBER. 🙂 😛 😉
P.S.
Dr.Z when you write the next chapter can’t we have I dunno some shower or bath tub fun going on. We know for a fact Christina’s done a tub scene before. I can at least live vicariously through this little dance we’ve got going on. It could be a pool. A night time swim maybe just the two of them. How romantic. Very sensual I might add. Re-reading this I need to get a man, and soon or spontaneous combustion will be taking place………. 😉 🙂
Tango said
Hello, is this Mr. Wong’s Chinese Palace?
I’d like to order the lo mein special with a side order of Henry please.
Can you have that delivered to my house ASAP? And don’t forget the fortune cookies!
rifkind said
OK I had the right episode, but after re-looking at the picture, I realized that this was when he was on top of the building and Vicki just went out back of the bar and Henry had just been feeding on the one guy, adn told the other one that he would not do this again… he then went on top of the building and this LOOK was when he was aware that the sunrise was coming…
Vicki was down below in the ally trying to see if someone was around ..
Tango said
Good night Dizey! I hope you had a wonderful day – as Laurel says – you have an entire week to celebrate your Birthday – so live it up and have lots of fun 🙂 We want a full report to tell us about how you implemented Laurel’s gift. Don’t leave anything out – starting with unwrapping it 😉
Anzia said
at the rate i’m going it’ll be one REALLY long marathon!
DIZEY1 said
Tango…. I’m sorry Mr.kyle was delivering a while ago and he’s a bit tied up right now. But I’ll pass your order on to him when he can speak. 😛 😛
I loved my limerick it’s me !!
Anzia said
Hey, I guess we could see how well I hold up to Dizey and laurel’s gift. ^_^ see which one of us gives out first. 🙂
DIZEY1 said
OOps that should have been Mr.Henry (Freudian slip ??) What does that mean?? I want to do him too??? Yeah ok 😛
Anzia said
SO a writer friend of mine told me that I should charge for my scenes. That way I’d be able to keep writing and wouldn’t have to find a job that desperately. ^_^ He actually suggested that I write Penthouse Letters…hmmm… not sure if I should be complimented…
Madonna said
Cree,
I used to think about becoming a doctor. All the doctor’s I saw growing up kind of got me fascinated with medicine I guess. (My other favorite show is ER). I know that I have the brains to do it, but I don’t think that I could handle the mental and physical stress of it all. So I admire anyone in the field, whether they work with people or animals.
Well everyone, I’m going to go read for a little while and call it a night. Tomorrow will probable be a pool day as it is supposed to be 95 degrees. I also have to bath and brush my “son” tomorrow before he goes to obedience school. That is about a two-hour job. He has a beautiful white and cream coat complete with the little bow on the head. I am often asked if I show him as he looks like a show dog. But I can’t because he is a mixed breed.
Goodnight all!
Anzia said
Dizey!- LMAO! OMG! I love freudian slips…^_^ so insightful!
Danielle said
Hey guys! You all loved my Glad Press and Seal didn’t you. I didn’t think it would be that much of a hit.
Cree-Don’t worry about the teasing. I will never forget it but I have pretty much forgiven. I definitely believe that is part of my anxiety issues though.
Kelly and I are going to watch The Goonies. I will keep checking in.
Oh by the way, I would gladly “do” either Henry or Kyle. Hell send both to me and I will be one very happy girl.
DIZEY1 said
Laurel, you little Minx……..Got the gift well taped, and tricky to un-wrap but once it’s wet well it practically unwrapped himself. Nice touch with the bow strategically placed I might add. It’s almost like Henry’s our travelling pants ya know?? I’ll be sending him to Lady A on the 11th correct??
The party starts tomorrow from 2:00 until……. Everyone’s invited mi casa es su casa 🙂
reves doux de Henri’
XOXOXO Luv ya’ll thanx for a great b’day
Beth
Cree said
Rifkind: Thanks for answering that question for me. I had originally thought that it was the first scene that you had thought it was, where Henry was on top of the building waiting for the demon to hunt again, but after looking at it again, it didn’t look quite right for it to have been that scene. I had completely forgotten about him being on top of the building outside of the nightclub. You are totally right. I just re-watched the episode to make sure……any excuse to re-watch, right? 🙂
Tango said
Dizey, exactly what is Kyle/Henry tied up with? LOL!
Z – Bravo! Thank you for part 2 today – what a treat 🙂
I was wondering how you would get a sexy food scene out of a kitchen with next to zero food in it, but you pulled it off quite brilliantly. I will definately be having me some lo mein this weekend, and making sure I have some leftovers to bring home 😉
Please keep sharing you talent with us this summer, as it is helping us from going nuts. I loved Dizey’s idea about a swim – let’s take them out to the pool!
Danielle said
It is almost midnight here. Happy Birthday one last time Beth.
And yes that pictures is from the first epi when Henry is looking down on the nightclub.
Tango said
Danielle – yes your “press-n-seal” comment gave us quite a visual today. Of course I was imagining all the different colored “press-n-seals” (blue, green, pink) and of course the holiday ones with the snowflakes on it. Ok, maybe the visual was a little more vivid for me.
Is it October yet?
AlisaSG said
I’m here, but in between watching the new Season of Doctor Who (in the USA).
.. not feeling too well, either.. possible stomach virus. 😦
———-
Cree,
wow! sounds like you did a reverse something there after high school.
>> I like who I am now and have I have actually found God in the past few years, whom I never knew before, and that makes me an even happier person and truely content.
*that* might be what really changed you. 😉
———-
>> So, growing up around that and seeing how my family acts, I am just always under the impression that others are constantly judging as well.
hmmm. I was just thinking this morning about that other person I mentioned who is the life of the party and a huge tease – so much that it’s difficult to know when she’s pulling my leg, because she can tease with such a straight face, and some things outright terrified me.. because she had the power to hire and fire me, too, if she so chose.
Anywho, here’s this woman who I thought had life altogether and under control. She gave that sort of commanding impression. But my jaw dropped when she confessed she was really very insecure, and needed that extra guidance to gain her composure and that image she made us all believe she already had.
When she thought I was conning my personality on her and someone else, I simply couldn’t believe she’d think that, because I think I’m too transparent, loyal to the hilt, and can’t hide my true feelings. If I get hurt, even at work, the tears will well up and it’s difficult holding them back. Very few times that has happened, but it did happen (not with her, but 2 other people, one of whom I totally didn’t expect a negative kind of treatment from, either).
Plus, I know she’s constantly watching body behavior, because she’s told us that, too. So, if you’re standing there with your arms crossed because you feel dumb for standing there with them dangling, or twiddling fingers.. she takes the crossed arms as
“you’re blocking her from entering your space” (not kidding!). She takes it personally, too, as if subconsciously pushing away from her.. (oooooookay, i think that’s the lesbian in her taking this to a whole different level!). Good golly! When working in small spaces, it’s funny listening to all of the “i’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to *touch* you” (implied or spoken). Oy!
———-
I had a guy coworker once *chummy* punch me in the arm.. Well, I thought it was cute (cause he was adorable to begin with). However, I just had my allergy shot the day before and that caused the spot of the injection to swell up. Naturally, he just happened to chummy punch me right where I got the allergy injection, and Ooooooooooh did that hurt! I kind of shrank in my seat from the pain!! OMG! I mean, he nailed it right on the spot.. Oouch!! 😀
Well, he felt so bad about doing it (just that one time) that he never ever did it again. But seriously, had he gotten me before I got the shot, it wouldn’t have hurt, and we’d both probably be laughing about it (expecting a repeat performance, too). But no, he shied away and NEVER joked around me like that again. 😦
Best thing about him was that he *was* the life of the party, but was so humble about being that way, that it made him that much more *fun* to be around. I guess he knew where to balance the con stuff from the serious, and he let you know which was which by his moods.
I’d have to say he was genuine, like Henry (in Blood Ties) is. Another *angel* in disguise, sort of. Maybe it’s all in how one approaches their teasing, that makes the atmosphere feel so different (positive or negative).
Margaret said
Anzia: Suggestions: Whipped Cream, chocolate syrup and a shower scene…
Wish I had your writing talent. Left me wanting more (writing, writing, that is, yeh, right)….. Henry you have spoiled us for mortal men….
Danielle said
I can deal with any color but pink. I hate pink. The Christmas ones would be hilarious. Wrap him up in wreath Press n Seal.

Alisa:

yeah, I think so too.
>>she takes the crossed arms as “you’re blocking her from entering your space” (not kidding!). She takes it personally, too, as if subconsciously pushing away from her.. (oooooookay, i think that’s the lesbian in her taking this to a whole different level!).
wow, sounds like this girl has a few issues of her own! Is she your boss? If so, that’s kinda scarey that someone like that holds the fate of your job in her hands. Sounds like no matter how you act around her she is going to take it the wrong way.
Well, everyone, it is now midnight here and I have to work tomorrow, so I am off to bed. Goodnight, all.
Anzia said
THAT’S WHAT I WAS THINKING! Talk about a merry christmas!
Okay these are the requests that I have. Let me know if I missed something K?
Danielle- Boxer briefs & Wife-beater (white)
Dizey- water
Tango- pool
Margaret- Whipped Cream, chocolate syrup and a shower scene
Tango said
Anzia – I think we need a little special power of some sort thrown in there for good measure. Surprise us! It’d be nice if we had the list tht prtfvr put together handy.
Anzia said
special power? as in levitation? a special trick with his tongue (can you see my minor oral fixation…)
Tango said
Maybe I should have been more specific – superhuman power. Now levitation – oou that would be a sexy one. Now these other foreplay tricks are a given – keep em coming, by all means. You’ve painted a vivid picture with your words, and I must say that I love it!
Anzia said
One of my FAVORITE vampire fiction tricks in any series comes from Christine Feehan. Her carpathians have the ability to heal wounds. So, whenever they get bruised during… anything or when things get a little sore after a rough time of it, just a bit of licking and EVERYTHING is all better. ^_^
Tango said
Z – you do have the proverbial oral fixation don’t you? LOL!
Tango said
Claire – I love it when we blog in French – it is such a sexy language. I totally agree. L’homme d’ordures ramasse les déchets le mercredi. You see anything sounds sexy when spoken in French!
Now your comment about you not having any friends in VA just about floored me. I just find that hard to believe, as I am sure I am not alone here. How long have you been in VA? It sounds like pool dad would be a good friend for you to have – you already know he loves your kids. Why don’t you get with some of your neighbors and have a block party? This is a great way to make friends. I am surprised you are not making friends at the pool. I know if I saw someone with quads at the pool, I would be so intrigued; I would have to go talk to you. What’s not to love about you? I think you’re terrific!
Love the pictures of Jake, btw. It makes you want to squeeze him and smell that baby lotion. I love the way clean babies smell.
Anzia said
I do. ^_^ There’s just so much that can be done! *purrs* ….
….
……
….
anyway…. I had a roommate who HATED syliva. She wouldn’t allow a man’s mouth to come into contact with her AT ALL during sex or ANYTHING! It drove me nuts ’cause she would have a personal story about EVERYTHING sexual. I got so mad once that I told an entire table at dinner (about 10 ppl) that if anyone could come up with anything sexual that Sarah COULDN’T make a personal experiencial comment about I’d pay them $50 dollars. Her reply:” there’s lots that I haven’t done.” Mine: “Well, it seems that society hasn’t found them yet.”
Anzia said
Did I mention i’m a bit of a @itch when angry???
Laurel said
Hey Dizey? I’m glad you enjoyed your present. He was a bit ticklish but really a good sport about the whole business when I told him where I was sending him. It seems he really loves the birthday party scene. The bow took quite a bit of ribbon (I’m sure you noticed) so I hope you can re-use it. I used the soft fabric ribbon so no-one would get hurt. 🙂
Glad press-n-seal!!!! Wish I’d have thought of that!
Tango said
Laurel you really are a saucy little minx aren’t you? But I love the details you are spilling – my imagination is truly getting a work out today with you and Z! And Danielle!
himmiefan said
Hi Claire. Have you thought about joining some sort of mothers’ group? As a single woman with no children (well, the two-legged kind), I’ve found that the mothers groups are everywhere, and I mean everywhere! At my age, it’s kind of hard to find female friends because most women my age have kids, so I just don’t have a lot in common with them.
Cree – I had no idea vet students have to learn human anatomy. What do vets do as the first line of defense in a bio-terrorism attack?
Anzia – how about you write a customized kitchen scene (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, front yard, whatever) for each of us? You know, Henry with Himmiefan, Henry with Tango, Henry with Margaret, Henry with Himmiefan, Henry with Dizey, Henry with Himmiefan, etc. Come on, you can do it! I’m just teasing, of course, but if you feel so inclined…. 🙂
Laurel said
Hi Tango! I figured I was alone out here. I was in a funny mood this morning when I got onto the blog, and since I am not particularily gifted with computer knowledge I had to figure out something unique to offer the birthday girl. Glad you all liked it.
I have been writing a couple of stories and was toying something similar, but now I may have to go back and add the press-n-seal. I actually would be likely to wrap such a gift in silk or thin satin. I like the way it drapes over the human form.
Not to worry, I know better than to use duct tape on furry surfaces. 🙂
Anzia – Whew girl! I am going to have to learn to school my thoughts whenever I order chinese food from now on. Good job!
Don’t worry about working other people’s ideas into your stories, let the characters play out the way you want to see them! You are doing just fine on your own.
Anzia said
It’s been a GREAT day! I’ve been thuroughly and delightfully naughty all day! ^_^ I feel like I should start recruiting people to join me in my degeneration! ~_~
Laurel said
Um, Himmiefan seems to be getting more of Henry’s scenes than she should. Don’t let her get away with that!
Anzia, I thought your writing was recruiting plenty of us to be naughty right along with you. I know it works on my overstimulated mind. 😉
Anzia said
Laurel- the reason i keep asking for suggestions is ’cause I want to make these things part of our group. It bothers me a tiny bit that I write these things and you guys read ’em and express your sexual frustration. (*giggles*) I want you guys to feel like you own a piece of these too. That and I wanted to put in things that the blog had come up with (as in phrases or gestures) but couldn’t remember any. ^_^ That and I love making these things as totally hot as possible and to do that I need to know what exactly everyone would like to see. ^_^ It gives me a handicap if you will. (see, REALLY naughty!)
Laurel said
Good night everyone. It’s been fun!
Anzia said
LOL, I promise to make enough Henry to go around! ^_^
One of these days I’ll show ya’ll all the vids that Nina gives me when I can’t get into the scene i’m writing. I know they TOTALLY get those juices flowing for me!
Anzia said
I guess I should mention that while I can get rather dirty and such with the best of them, the vids i’m talking about are NOT like that. They’re mostly clad men doing or saying things that just make you melt.
On that note, I’m going to bed. I’ll talk to everyone later. I have to play mom to my cousins this weekend so I won’t be around too much probably. So, i’ll talk at ya when I talk at ya!
Love you guys! SLEEP WELL! 😉 😉

Margaret said
Anzia: Henry can make me melt, clothed or otherwise. I think if you wrote scenes for each of us, we would all die happy women. That will be the only way that I’ll be able to get close to Henry. lol. Vicki, wake up, there are plenty of us willing and able to push you out of place if you don’t come to your senses.
The more I watch the old episodes the more it boggles my mind the patience that Henry has with Vicki. He has put himself in harms way, has gotten hurt over this woman and she gives him crumbs, just crumbs. I know they can’t get together and be happy forever as that would be the kiss of death for the show, but geez do something girlfriend. I want to smack her and tell her to “Snap out of it!!!!!!” Is anyone truly that dense, she’s a detective but can see her nose for her face……
The books allow her to go back and forth between Henry and Mike and I think they could sustain that for quite a while. In the last episodes Henry and Mike have been getting along but I think they need to go back to them being jealous with each other over Vicki. They shouldn’t be getting too chumy, after all they are both in love with the same woman. I think its funny that they had Henry pushing Mike around in previous episodes as it seemed somewhat childish, was that the 17 year old child coming out? But on the other hand he continually tells Vicki he has 450-500 years of experience with no complaints.
He mentions taking a lover in the midst of passion so all the ladies he feeds off of are lovers? So how many women has Henry truly been in love with? Christina and everyone he’s fed off of?? Because I think some of them were friends with benefits and Christina and Vicki are probably people he actually loves. I mean does he really get to know those girls he’s feds off of. Most of them seem to be snacks who come and go.
Margaret said
That should be: can’t see her nose for her face.

Anzia,
I would love to see something about Henry’s lovely sparkling blue eyes and his wonderful smile..
You look at his smile , not expecting to see his vamp teeth.. but his genuine fun and flirty mouth…
Did your oral fixation rub off on me??
No, in watching the niff scene, I just LOVED the shape of his mouth..

His mouth…
Look at my name – picutre… it was right after this moment in Necrodrome when Henry is about to say the word …DEATH… just love the close up with Vicki and just his wonderful mouth…

Roflmao! Tango…
Bonjour, ici dans mon voisinage l’homme de détritus vient le mardi
Who would think a conversation about trash could sound so good,right?
Tango…I have been in Va for ten months…my neighborhood is very quiet…there are only 2 other families with children down the road.The women and men in my neighborhood are either married or widowed older people.I don’t know what it is about me,but I had the same problem in High School…most girls hated me.
Everyone in my neighborhood is polite,you know ,they say goodmorning,always wave and such,but the married women who are my age or younger act like I moved in to steal their men…cause I’m the only one with no husband.
The rest are in their late forties and fifties…but not like us.They have maybe 2 grown children..2 grandkids.They would never be caught dead watching BT…they go to functions at the country club,they golf and play tennis.Me,I feel like they are my grand parents!Pool Dad is 39 and looks like he still has life in him so we’ll see.I mean we talk about music and how he can’t find the time to date etc.But we just never exchanged numbers and such.I don’t know how to bring it up…I don’t want him to think I’m some desperate divorcee looking to hook a man.And as for a block party…yeah right..that would be uncooth in this neighborhood…all celebrations are approved by the board association,and most things take place at the town square.
Himmiefan…there is one mothers club here..you have to fill out an application…if accepted,there are dues…everything is done with the kids…and it’s mostly Moms bragging about what private school…what soccer team..etc.
Now don’t get me wrong..I adore my kids…but what I’m looking for is friends to hang out with not just with my kids,but alone…you know..go to movies…have some drinks…and just hang and BS.No body in their 40’s has any spark left in their soul here it seems.
I would love just having friends over for a barbecue and some beer…some music.But as stated in the neighborhood handbook..music after dark from outdoor parties is un neighborly!
I do love the place though…living in the midst of a forest…there is virtually no crime…doors are only locked at night…my kids bikes are outside on the lawn..no one touches them…the school system is top in the country.But the people are weird! LOL!
Anyways..sorry this is so long…I have to go see if the association swim meet is over..so I can take the kids to the pool.
see yas later… 😛
Claire said
O.k I just posted this very long post…and I don’t know where it went…don’t have the energy to do it again…maybe later..see yas

Claire,
You LONG post…
it probably went into Purgatory and has to be cleared by MsGypsy or Tango before it will show up
rifkind said
See I knew that your post would show up!
So did mine about the Wikipedia Blood Ties page
Margaret said
rifkind: As much as I’d like to take credit for it, its not my handiwork. Its been up for some time now, I think since the show went on hiatus. The Lifetime message board is trying to get a fangs campaign together. You all might want to visit over there once in a while. Army Wives was supposed to be the topic of the week but Blood Ties kept it at #1 out of 5..
Madonna said
Margaret,
The fangs idea probably won’t work as Lifetime will not accept packages.

Rifkind – oh yes, Kyle’s mouth ~ so luscious… sorry my mind drifted there for a few minutes imagining those lips upon my But rifkind, love the picture behind your name. As you can see from the pic behind my name we are of like minds. This shot does a little bit more for me b/c I can almost feel his breath, ya know?
I’ve changed my avatar as you can see, to go along with the subject. In the pictures of Kyle from the Spacey Awards his lips just pop off the screen. Did he have collagen injections for this? (JK) I wish I could find them on the Internet, but they are now in a private album and need a password. Good thing I saved them to my laptop before that happened. If you have not seen them I can email them to you, but they don’t show up well as an avatar. What do you think Z? I can see why his lips quench your oral fixation.
AlisaSG said
umm, dumb question.. what would LIFETIME do with *fangs* anyway?
Food isn’t even becoming acceptable, because of potentially tainted packages any more (such as in recent items from china??). Not sure why the peanuts worked in Jericho, tho (give them to the furry squirrels?).
Sci-Fi Network is now airing “Kindred” (vampire series) during Fridays..

Margaret,
>> I think its funny that they had Henry pushing Mike around in previous episodes as it seemed somewhat childish, was that the 17 year old child coming out?
Mike pushed Henry first (in Love Hurts). I think it’s a *tit for tat* (gotcha back) personality thing. Some people on a more sophisticated level use words to jab or stab back at each other. Verbal wars, instead of physical roughness – I’m stronger than you are.. I’m more intelligent than you are.. nah, nah-na-nan-nah! (that type.. I see adults do this all the time; age doesn’t matter)
>> He mentions taking a lover in the midst of passion so all the ladies he feeds off of are lovers?
to some distant degree or another.
Passion is often equated to a particular intimate action, but real love goes deeper than just the surface of any person. It’s the glue that links the pair together on a special, wave band level than just doing something physical together.
>> So how many women has Henry truly been in love with?
I’d say only those he remembers special things about each one in particular.

AlisaSG,
I really don’t think that the idea is that Lifetime could or would do anything with the fangs. It is just a clever little something to show our “LOVE”, and to beg for more.

Every time I get a minute to sit down and catch up my husband finds an errand for me to run. He is leaving tomorrow for a week of Church camp for Jr Hi Boys in central Oregon. It is supposed to be really hot for the entire week, with extremely high fire danger. He goes every year and the day before he leaves is always crazy. :0)
Claire – The fact of the matter is you need to move to Portland! Built in friends of the BT sort! Good public and private schools. Universities both big and small. Award winning Zoo, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), loads of great parks, pools, farmers’ markets, art galleries… Beach is only 1 1/2 hours away with loads of fun stuff to do and see. Close enough to Vancouver, B.C. to visit on a 3-4 day weekend!!!!
Well, a girl can have hope! It would sure be fun to have you near. 😉 Of course your entire family would be required to come with. 🙂
Anziia – I don’t care how the next part of the story goes as long as we get more of it. I admire your willingness to put your stories out there for us all to share. Perhaps we should call you “Warrior Anzia” for battling the darkness of the time before the return of sanity named OCTOBER.
Tango said
Claire – I think the BBQ idea is perfect. Ask pool dad, and make it casual by telling him he can invite some of his friends. Let him know since you are new that you want meet some nice people in the area and could really use his help. Go ahead and invite everyone on your block so there will be less likelihood of someone complaining about the noise. Also, this will give them an opportunity to get to know you in your element, and they may know some of your future friends that they will end up introducing you to. School will be starting back soon, so take advantage of this summertime opportunity! Network it girl!
lwildstar said
I have returned!
My mother wore me out today – the parents are remodeling/redecorating – so we’ve been all over town looking for “accents”
We also stopped and bought a get well gift for the little girl who lives across the street from mom – poor thing developed an infection in her brain and had to have a section skull removed to relieve the pressure – we just happened to get back to moms at the save time she came home so I quickly put the gift together in the trunk so mom could take it over – the smile on that little girls face was so fantastic it just lifted my heart! Her mom said shes doing fine and the doctors said that she shouldn’t have any lasting effects.
Well I am hot, tired, and need a shower – when did my mom get more energy than me!
Clair – you’re really not to far from me – I’m in Silver Spring, MD!
Talk to you tomorrow!
rifkind said
Tango,
Oh yes! He can nibble on my ear anytime!
YUM!
lwildstar said
Thanks for the link to Babblfish Rifkind – after visiting ther I’ve changed from Two Swords to Two Sabers – I like how the translations sound better – so now I just need to choose which language, Frence, Spanish or Italina – all are close to each other.
Well now I’m off to the shower and to pop some BT in to the DVD player….
Danielle – any luck yet?
Margaret said
lwildstar: Even though we’re not located that close to each other I’m going you in watching some BT again….
Margaret said
should be joining you.
Margaret said
Besides, probably shouldn’t be on the computer right now. We’re having a bad thunderstorm. See you later ladies.
Madonna said
Good evening everyone. How is the family doing tonight?
lwildstar,
That was such a sweet thing to do for that little girl. I’m glad to hear that she is going to be alright.
Ladies,
I always have a lot of Glad Press n’ Seal on hand to seal my candles with. (It helps seal in the scent.) So from now on for every birthday send him here to Kentucky and I’ll package him.
I laid down about 3 this afternoon for a little nap and slept 3 1/2 hours. I guess I needed it but I hate it when I do that. I always have trouble sleeping that night.
I did have an interesting dream though. Kyle, definitely not Henry, was an amatuer chef and invited my mother and myself over to his house for a dinner party. He asked me to help him cook and I got to sit right next to him at dinner. All I remember was steak, lots of beef….. Oh and his house was really pretty too. He had a lovely patio that was splashed with sun and had lots of flowers in full bloom. I figure it had something to do with Anzia’s story, thanks Anzia!!!! We’re having steak here tonight too, so I figure I was just hungry for…… something!
When I woke up I discovered that I am bleeding through the kidneys again. This happens to me about every 4-6 mos. The first time it happened three years ago I freaked out and went straight to the ER. I was diagnosed then with a severe Urinary Tract Infection and they would not let me leave without giving me IV antibiotics. I also have an extensive history of kidney stones. I have two now that they can’t seem to break up w/surgery. When I start bleeding now the doctors usually downplay it and say that it is just those stones scraping the inside of the kidney making it bleed. So basically, I never know when to panic and call the doctor or when not to.
All I know is that one of 3 things is about to happen.
1.) I’m getting ready to pass a stone.
2.) My kidney stones are scraping the inside of the kidney (This is probably most likely.)
3.) I’m getting ready to be diagnosed with a UTI.
Only time will tell.
That’s my story ladies and gent!
If I can’t sleep maybe I’ll talk to y’all a little later.

Himmiefan: Most of the biological weapons used in terrorist attacks are going to be diseases that vets see on a regular basis in everyday practice, but that human doctors rarely if ever see (such was the case with anthrax a few years ago). Therefore, we (vets) will be able to more quickly identify any biological weapon that could be used in an attack and since we already deal with a lot of these in our practice, we already know how to treat them and what to expect from them.
Most likely if you are the victim of such an attack, you will more than likely be treated by a veterinarian rather than a human doctor (a part of my job I was not aware of until a few months before graduation and am not looking forward to if I am ever called to do so….having to deal with human medicine totally grosses me out for some reason!).
My senior year of vet school we had someone from Homeland Security come and brief us on all of this and it was all news to us, we had no idea we were the first line of defense and a lot of us were actually upset at this fact because we do not like the “human” medicine side of our profession. I can do surgeries all day long on dogs and cats and I love all of the blood and guts (sorry if I am grossing anyone out), but the second I see a drop of human blood, it makes me light headed and sick to my stomach, which holds true for most vets. And most human doctors are the complete opposite. They can handle the human stuff fine, but they get grossed out at animal blood. Go figure…….you would think it would all seem the same, but it is definately not!

everyone,
how about red ribbons — Scans and scans of red ribbons..
red color and tie a knot on the one end, as in red-colored (symbolic of “blood”) ties. TPTB can’t eat it, but could use it later for wrapping holiday and Valentine’s day gifts.. 😀
That way, it won’t go to waste. And it doesn’t matter what size ribbon or type – fabric or paper (gift wrap type). Wal-mart has many varieties of fabric ribbons, skinny and thick, see-thru, etc., and they sell them real at a reasonably cheap price on some of them.
Another use for the ribbons is tying them around cards for added decor.
the red ribbons were just a thought that’s been nagging me for a while. 😉
Anzia said
Cree- That’s incredibly interesting! I never would have guessed that. I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger (as most young people do). I really wouldn’t have had a choice as to animal or human medicine. I’m allergic to basically any animal on earth. 😀 But I always found it all facinating. I decided against it because I can to the realization that if I ever lost a patient, even if I’d done everything possible, i wouldn’t be able to handle it. My step-mom is a vet tech and I used to come to work with her a couple of times a summer (loads of fun w/the allergies & asthma btw). I would actually eat my lunch while watching them do proceedures (sorry if I disgust anyone). My step-mom relocated to Nevada and found that she had to learn all about cattle again. ^_^ She hates it.
Madonna- I’m sorry to hear about your medical problems hon! *Sending “get well” vibes* If it wasn’t Dizey’s birthday week I’d ask her to give you Henry for the night. He’d be able to nurse you, maybe not back to health but I’m sure he’d be a sight in the candystriper uniform. 😉 Oooo, could you see him in a lab coat w/stethoscope (spelling sucks sorry)! With nothing but black boxer briefs underneath it. Even better… commando baby! Just picture him giving you a sponge bath… tucking you in and sitting beside you on the bed. Leaning down close so that he can fluff the edges of your pillow and brush away a few stray hairs that had fallen into your eyes so he can admire the depth of color there. Then, when he asks if there’s anything he can do for you, and places his hand on your cheek, moves in close and places a kiss on your forehead. When he nuzzles noses with you he whispers, “I’ll be sleeping in a chair in the corner. If you need me just call out.” With a lingering caress he slides his hand down your cheek, across your chest and off the bed as he walks away.
Himmiefan- what’s your name on writing.com?

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This is a good idea, but remember that the cards will have to be processed through the post office’s machines. The ribbons would probably cause a little snag there.
Madonna said
Anzia,
Thanks! You just gave me images that will cause my mind to go wild for days. Wow!
Madonna said
Hi Cree,
How are you tonight? Henry been by lately?
Anzia said
Madonna- ^_^ Welcome dear!
About the ribbons- i know the idea might be to allow them to be removed but if you glue the ribbon down or only attach a small bow, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Madonna said
Anzia,
Yep, something small would probably not be a problem. I’m just thinking back to my days in art school when they went over all the postal regulations with us. You know what can be processed and what can’t. I’d just hate to see our cards not getting there in time.
Madonna said
I think I’m going to jump off here for now. My side is hurting a little and I’m getting a little nauseous so I’m considering a trip to the ER. I probably won’t go, but I’m considering it. Have lots of fun guys.
Cree said
Hi, Madonna. I’m well. Just overworked as usual. Unfortunately, Henry hasn’t been by lately. I think Dizey still has him a little “tied up” for the time being. I have however spent the past few hours learning how to plaster his beautiful face all over my myspace page in an attempt to help promote the show to whomever visits my site. 🙂 Hope you get to feeling better. I passed a kidney stone a few years ago, and that was the worst pain I have ever been in in my entire life! And it happened on New Year’s Eve of all nights. All of my friends were out partying and I was stuck at home watching the stupid ball drop with Dick Clark, crying my eyes out (partly due to the pain, but also because I was all alone on New Years and none of my friends or family cared enough to stay home with me)! Luckily I haven’t had any kidney problems since then. Drink lots of cranberry juice. Its been proven to help dissolve stones and maintain the pH in the bladder to keep it healthier.
Cree said
Z: I totally know what you mean by being able to eat lunch while watching procedures. I did it all the time when I was a tech before vet school. And now if I am in a really long surgery and starving to death, I’ll have someone feed me little morcels here and there (without compromising the sterility of the procedure of course). But if it were a human surgery…..forget it!! I would be passed out in the floor!!
Tango said
Madonna – sorry about your health darlin’. My thoughts are with you. Kidney stones – been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. No fun at all, but I haven’t had that problem in many years thank God!
You guys, I wish I could start a new page, as mysgypsy told me I could, but I don’t know how, so I guess we will just have to wait for her before we get a fresh page.
Cree – I too found that information quite intriguing. Since I read that I’ve been planning my emergency plan of which vet I would go to in the case of a biochemical attack. Do you ever have to treat any exotic animals? Snakes being the one that comes to mind – honestly, I would have no problems with a world without Mr. Noshoulders, but I know they serve a purpose in the whole ecosystem, so I just try to avoid places where the inhabit.
Anzia said
Goodnight Madonna have Happy Henry dreams!
Anzia said
Tango- LOVE the avatar! My step-mother had a white bengal (sp?) tiger come into the office she works at. There are pictures with my sister and it (it’s unconscious of course). ^_^ I thought that was AWESOME!
Tango said
Z- I knew you would love it!
So many questions about the statement you just made:
1. Who owns a bengal tiger?
2. What was wrong with it?
3. What did the people in the waiting room say when a tiger walked in the office?
4. Did she get to interact with it while it was consious? How cool would that be?
among many other questions.
Anzia said
Tango- First, I have to say I look at your avatar and see LOTS of Lo Mien action. (I LOVE the pictures I see!) Second, I don’t believe it walked in at all. I believe it was sedated before it ever entered the office. I don’t remember what was arong, or if I ever really was told. And no, my step-mom (and the rest of the office) wouldn’t let anyone near it that wasn’t working.
Claire said
Famille bonsoir!!
I see my long post made back from purgatory!!!
So yeah I went to the pool…stayed from 1-6…then my over protective Christopher came looking for me…said he was going to a party and wanted to make sure I got home okay.Ladies and gent…I went to the pool that belongs to my cluster…it’s down the road…you can see it from my kitchen window!! That boy is too over protective! LOL!!
Anyway…played with kids..got some rays…found out why no one talks to me!
One mother who has twins..spoke to me..she said everyone talks about me and Nikki…They couldn’t fiqure out what the relationship was…they thought we were sisters.The woman Maxine…after talking to me for a few..said…”Wow you are so nice…everyone here hates you and your daughter…we all fiqured your daughter…who we thought was your sister had to be a B@tch..with how beautiful she is..you two are just hateful cause you look the way you do.” Now mind you okay she’s laughing…then she saids”You I still hate…you can’t possibly look the way you do after 7 kids…especially having quads…you should be ugly,and you’re almost 50!”
I was like WTF ?
So you can’t win…if you are not the perfect size..overweight..people are mean…if you look semi okay..by the grace of God…people still hate you!
and then her friends joined her…and I could hear her telling them” She’s the other girls Mother,and those quads,and she has two more,can you believe her…and she’s like almost 50..don’t you hate her!
For the rest of the time..all they did was watch me.I was so happy when they went home!!
Tomorrow will be better…Pool Dad keeps me company on Sundays…so I don’t have to pay attention to the nasty Moms!
Tango…As for inviting my neighbors to a BBQ? They are the ones who wrote the handbook..they don’t do BBQ’s!! LOL!
I’ll just invite pool Dad tomorrow.
Laurel…Don’t tempt me..you are close to Vancouver! I’ll get arrested for stalking if I move by you! 😛
Iwildstar…how very scary for your Moms neighbor…It was good you gave that little girl a smile!!
Silver Spring…I know where that is..it’s not far…when I used to visit Monique before I moved..I always took greyhound and the bus would stop at Silver Spring!
Madonna…hope you feel better!
Anzia…your imagination is going to cause us to all be on the news…
There has been a rash of Women Spontaneously Combusting throughout the U.S. so far the only connection found…is that they all watched Blood Ties!
😛 😛 😛
Anyways…I received the rest of my black dagger books,so I am going to read book 2 and dream about not just Henry but lots of hot Vamps!!
I bid you all Bonne Nuit,
des rêves très doux d’Henry et de Kyle, il est toujours mon numéro un !
Love yas!
Tango said
Z – ROTFLOL!!! 🙂
And I love the pictures you’ve made me see!
One of my college roommies had a boyfriend who kept a black panther as a pet in his apartment. My roommie actually got hurt inadvertently while it was playing around. Go figure!
Cree said
Tango–I don’t do any exotics myself, just dogs and cats. I like them and all (especially snakes, no lie), but they are too much work to treat and handle. There is an exotics clinic right down the road from my hospital, so just refer them all there. I do like to play with the snakes when they come in though. I was always scared of them before I ever actually held one, but ever since I did, I totally fell in love with them. Nothing to be afraid of. Its those darn birds you have to watch out for. Those little critters are mean!!
AlisaSG said
Cree,
>> I will be 29 this September and am already depressed thinking about how that will be my last year in my 20’s. Where did the time go? I feel so old now!
I think I lost track of how old I was after I reached 43. I had to start subtracting my birth year to figure out how old I was after that.. and that always brings back the memories of all the years in between.. *sigh*
lwildstar,
>> And Danielle – wait til your 39 – then 29 won’t seem so old!
*g* .. wait til you reach 50 – that’s a half a century old.
Feels like 29 is almost a faded memory.. wonder what it’s like for poor Henry during his 489th birthday.. :p
Tango said
Claire – all I’ve got to say is it is their loss. I just can’t understand this whole mentality. Such close-minded people will never taste life as sweet as it truly can be until they spice it up with a variety of flavors. How bland and mundane their pathetic lives must be. I almost feel sorry for them. Hopefully they will come around, but if not, you have made an attempt to be friends, so the ball in in their court and you should not fret it. Maybe pool dad has some friends he will share with you. What about your kids’ friends’ parents?
Votre amitié a été un cadeau précieux à moi, j’espère que vous constatez que beaucoup de personnes le partagent avec dans votre ville natale.
Tango said
Cree – I don’t think I would ever be able to hold a snake. I have an irrational fear of them. I admit it’s irrational, and I’m okay with that, I don’t want to fix it. I’ve been very fortunate not to have seen any on our property which amazes me since we are surrounded by woods on two sides, but I’m sure that’s because we have dogs in the back yard.
Anzia said
Okay, i’m off for a little while. I’ll be back later! Have fun guys…

Anzia said
Claire- I love you girl. If I lived near you I promise that I’d show those women… well I’m not sure but they’re really nasty and should be taught a lesson. *grrr* You’re way too much of a sweety to be treated like that! *mumbles* stupid mean people with no intelligence… ANyway, If we lived close we’d TOTALLY shock the entire five state radius! ^_^ So, maybe it’s a good thing we don’t… that and i’d probably raid your earring collection!

OMG!!! that’s awful. As long as your health is in good status, that’s what counts more than what dress size a person is wearing. Sheesh! Those gossip biddies need to get their priorities straightened out.
My hubby struggles with his weight, because he has a hypo-active thyroid. He also scarfs / chug-a-lugs his food down (fast), and for some reason, it doesn’t digest well. I know someone else who gulfs her food down, and she has a whole host of health problems. Me, I’m a slow eater because it hurts my stomach to eat fast. If I can fit into a size 8 comfortably, I’m happy. My mother-in-law kept buying me bigger skirt sizes, and I literally had to grow fatter to wear them. But the more weight I kept gaining, I’d also pay for it in being sick more often too.
So, when I finally realized what my body was telling me, I went back to skinny (or skinnier). ..doubt if I’ll ever fit again into my wedding dress, since my shoulders and chest grew (triple AAA to a C.) I also have scoliosis which shifted my hip muscles, so, looking skinny isn’t as easy as some people think it is, in spite of their jealousies. I admire people who can maintain staying skinny, and moreso, those who are skinny naturally (without scoliosis mutating your body).
It’s all in how your body handles metabolizing your food portions, and needed exercise that helps. I don’t really work hard at staying skinny, it’s just there.. so those ladies would hate me too.
tough snoogies to them.. 😛
😀
When my mom became diabetic and blew up like a blimp, and she was forced to poke needles into her every day – to check her blood sugars; and my hubby had his health problems and was told to diet and exercise or die young (for health issues), I decided what size clothes a person is – takes a back seat to one’s internal and mental health. Being naturally skinny is a definite plus, but keeping various dietary diseases away also helps work wonders into a person’s total well-being.
———-
I’m also short.. not the perfect size in height. I get frustrated grocery shopping and have to climb shelves to reach for items beyond reach, or jump to see what’s hiding on the top shelf, until some wonderful tall person comes along and graciously helps me out. 😀
(and I’ve since discovered, I’m not the only shorty who feels that way or does that! once in a while, I’ll find a store stool to climb on..)
But I’ve also met tall people who say they’d rather be shorter.
What’s wrong with our society – to suffer from so many image complexes??
AlisaSG said
Cree,
>> >>she takes the crossed arms as “you’re blocking her from entering your space” (not kidding!). She takes it personally, too, as if subconsciously pushing away from her.. (oooooookay, i think that’s the lesbian in her taking this to a whole different level!).
>> wow, sounds like this girl has a few issues of her own! Is she your boss? If so, that’s kinda scarey that someone like that holds the fate of your job in her hands.
..
..
former boss.. she’s a genius (geek level, too). So, I had to realize when she’d get bored, her mind would resort to other things to keep her interests peaked. When she told everyone she took behavioral psychology in college, it only becomes disturbing when you know that factor while you’re watching her eyes glancing up and down at all of you, and it’s not because of your gender – but how she’s literally reading your stance in front of her.
I know a few others who also do that, and that’s only because they do – do hiring, and look for certain mannerism (behavioral) details – especially during interviews. (eek!)
Actually, she (the geeky genius one) was easier to get along with than someone else I knew who only gave you 3 times to learn a procedure, before she’d kick you out the door. Talk about *impatience*.
And worse yet, how about trying to work with a co-worker who only gives you one chance at speaking properly the first time. You screw that opportunity up, you’re out the door in her world. So, if you forgot to mention a detail.. God-forbid! you just ended up on her hate list for the rest of the day. And then she’ll take the opposite extreme of if you get too wordy, you’re belittling her intelligence..!
simply cannot have a peaceful moment around her. 😦
———-
re: kidney stones.. my hubby has passed more than 7 within a few years. He had to have the last 2 ultra-sound blasted. To prove to me why they cause bleeding when coming out of the urinary tube, he caught a few into a strainer and checked them under a magnifying glass. The stones were crystalized with jagged edges, like an *ice-star* on all sides.
Cranberry juice has become a necessity in his diet, but I’ve started taking it too, as a preventative measure.

ok, I finally got to read Anzia’s story… omg girl you got one heck of an imagination!

What’s this I hear about deleted scenes? Now why would you go and do something like that? Come on Z, share the love!
Laurel said
Claire, I’m going to have to come out and beat those idiots over the head with a…. wait a minute… I’m supposed to be channeling peace… just got back from church reunion…
I think that takes us back to you moving out here! If only it were possible, we could show you how neighbors are supposed to act. I’m sorry you have been plagued with such small minded people. They probably have no idea how ignorant they sounded.
People say stupid things, but some of them are just not thinking clearly at the time.
ex. I lost a pregnancy just after my youngest was just 8 months old. A friend from church, who is several years younger than me put her arm around me and told me how sorry she was that we had suffered such a loss. The next thing she said was “but it is good to know that bad stuff happens even to people who seem to have a perfect life.” I was stunned. I knew LW was someone who was tactless and abrupt, but that was a bit much. After I talked to a mutual friend, who had heard similar things when she lost twins, we decided that LW needed us to kindly and gently let her know that what she had said was hurtful. We knew she had few friends (no wonder) so we have been trying to enlighten her and help her become a better friend.
Bottom line – sometimes you have to train your own friends. She is a good soul who just seems to be missing one of the filters that fits between thoughts and mouth.
We’re here for you. 🙂
Laurel said
Wow! Skip the stuff I just wrote and tell us all about the deleted scenes!
I think I need some spirit lifting!
Anzia can certainly perk us all up with some more hot stuff. 🙂 😉
Anzia said
LOL
LA- 🙂 a “toenail”? that disinterested?
Tango- they’re “deleted” scenes ’cause i deleted them. I don’t have ’em anymore. Sorry. They didn’t fit where the story went. the gist was Henry “cleaning” vicki’s wound (which comes back later btw). There was also a lengthy description of something REALLY naughty with the beer bottle (i couldn’t leave it in. Sorry. I felt REALLY REALLY dirty after writing it and just couldn’t leave it in. It made it sound really trashy.)
I promise from now on to keep ALL “deleted” clips. K?
Tango said
Laurel, well said. You took the high road, one that not many people would have taken the time to travel but would have just written the person off. Good for you and good for LW, or at least I hope that she took the advice and it putting it into good use.
Laurel said
How about you just make up some “supposedly” deleted scenes? We can all admire your work some more!!!
Yah.
Wicked awsome!
Tango said
I’ll second that! And by wicked awesome, do you mean totally sweet?
Anzia said
LOL, that could happen too…
do any of the other many writers here want to do that? I don’t want people to think I’m the only one who can do this. I’m sure LA or Himmiefan could write ’em just as well if not better than me. ^_^

I almost sat down and wrote a little scene for Vicki and Henry the other day. Maybe I’ll do it later, since my characters are a little irritated with me.
I said a toe nail because it’s one part of my body I wouldn’t miss… I need everything else for modeling. If I could I’d give more. How about my sister… will you take her?

I am sure I would enjoy works from all of our writers. So I encourage you all to get those creative juices flowing and put the pen to the paper (or fingers to the keys). Anything to supplement the BT reruns we are hanging on to til October.

LA- Oh, I wasn’t offended or anything. I was just wondering why a toe nail. ^_^ Little sister huh? I have one of those… thank God she lives half a continent away! ^_^
I’d LOVE to read other people’s take on the characters and their “relationship”
Tango said

Good Night!

Our LW is still able to put her foot in it but she has shown true growth. She is a very dear friend and we try to remember that when she hits a nerve. When I ended up in the ER last year she and her husband came to see me and pray with my husband. She told me later that it scared her to wonder if she would lose a friend.
I got better. 🙂

I was just skimming and kept reading something about a toe nail. I am not going to ask…
Anzia – My name on writing.com is – get this – himmiefan! At least I think that’s what it is. Anyway, there’s nothing there, yet.
Now, I have an opening scene and an ending scene for our movie. No big surprise, it has a happy ending! You, yes you, get to do the hot and heavy scenes. 🙂
I have got to go to bed. Good night!
Laurel said
Good night to you all!
I have to get husband off to camp in the morning!
Anzia said
ahhh, that might be why I can’t find you himmie! *the lightbulb turns on* Okay… feel kinda dumb now… 😉
Okay, NOW i’m going to bed!

good grief you guys were busy last night!
I had such wonderful Henry dreams last night – t was like my own mini serise…with very steamy “episodess”…even had guest apperences by Kylle – thats always a little weird when I get both – itls like “twins” – and you know they act like siblings when I dream them together! Its funny.
Tango – I’m writing too – but using my own charactors not BT charactors – although I have been thinking more and more about putting someof these dreams down in print. Still ot quit eady to let anyone see my writing.
Anzia dear – yes keep the deleted bits – even if now you have to go back and re-make them, I’d love to see the “other” direction you were going……or course don’t let that get in the way of part 3!
The temp at work has spoiled the whole “sweet” – “wicked” thing for me…every time I give her work to do she says “sweet!”…it was funny the first couple of time because in my head I could do Norman lines…..but after two weeks of it I’m ready to strangle her!
Oh well – got a l ate start this morning, and now I’m off to cet my hair cut!
Talk at you later!

if you’re not totally frustrated yet (she could always resort to worse words), ask her if she’s a Richard Dean Anderson (RDA), or Stargate-SG1, or MacGyver fan. RDA used that term a lot in Stargate-SG1. When I started seeing it pop up on the SG1 forums, I knew where they all got it from, because it got mentioned that RDA started it.. and then it became a habit over there, that is still in use.
usually when our office hands out work, we call them *presents* for our co-workers.. and usually, depending on their mood, they’re just tickled pink with delight (NOT really). 😉

Sorry for the delay. I’ve been doing a couple of other things this week and haven’t had as much time as I’d like for the blog.

Most criticism of low carbohydrate dieting statistics 2012 is based
on the atkins diet. One more option is to try out a whole bunch
of supplements to find thebest weight loss pillsthat work well for you,
it’s not what you eat!
