I figured I’d get ahead of the game this time and start the new one before we hit 1,000 posts. Go for it, folks, chatter away!

Where Gypsy Reigns and Strange Things Appear 
prtfvr said
Thanks ms.G. I’ve missed you! You only make cameo appearences these days.
Margaret said
Huh? I thought the ones airing in October were the remaining unaired episodes, which means what?
Rifkind said
Z and Prtfvr,
Thanks for the hugs 🙂 You gals are the best-est!
lwildstar said
Thanks for the new thread Ms.Gypsy! you know its getting big when event he super computer at work is having problems opening it!
Was tracking a package online and had to sneek over 😉
what I “read” (meaning what I understood) was that the October airing were to be the remaining 10 and that is why they pulled episode 13 from the original “set” – remember the first postings said there would be a “remaining 9 episodes” so for continuity they pulled episode 13 to make it an even ten for October……to me thats says that this was planned a long time ago and someone goofed…..anyway I am still hoping for a marathon prior to October – or maybe in the week leading up to the 13th – that would be the best thing they could do to reintroduce the show, and really play it up…what do you think? especially since they’ve switched the day from Sunday to Saturday.
ok got to go….
Margaret said
So is this good news or bad news, I’m thoroughly confused.

The tallent of this group is fabulous! I have enjoyed your creativity emensley as it has truly made the Btless summer go down easier. Much like the “spoonful of sugar” in that song.
Gypsy – I loved your pseudoNorman encounter. What a great thing to happen, it’s too bad no one had a cameraphone to capture you two together. That would have been a wicked picture, and when I say wicked, I mean totally sweet, to post here beneath your name.
The closest thing I had to a BT experience while I was gone last week was my roommie was from England and said “bloody hell” and called people “love” a lot. So my mind immediately went to Henry. She also preferred cake over death – that was for you Z and any other Eddie Izzard fans out there! 😉
Z-glad you feel good about the interview. Sending good vibes your way and hope that we will be celebrating your victory this weekend!
Prtfvr – loved chapter 7- loved that I started the day with it J I love how the pictures come first so that we can guess what you’re going to say, but the delivery is so much better. Fav line: “I…not…? Just out of curiousity, how come?” The picture with it is priceless. And the one that follows it – I just love the whole thing. This one is my favorite so far. The frame you ended with – ROFLOL! You are so twisted! I love it! 🙂 😎 🙂 😎
Lady A – what a treat! I finally got the time to read you fanfic. I have to agree with Laurel, or was it her twin Lauren 😉 who said it was like being able to see a new epi this summer. You write so vividly. Please give us more! 😎
Anzia said
It doesn’t sound too good that’s for sure. It’s quite possible that when they run the new eps like that, they’ll loose more viewers than gain. Who wants to feel like their show isn’t appreiciated by the network that’s airing it?
Alisa- you said something about finding another channel to take BT but, as someone mentioned before, why would they buy a series when they don’t have the first season? Not too many, if any, will do that.
rifkind- Thanks (((HUGS))) just to help with whatever may come today.
DIZEY1 said
Hi ya’ll feeling a little on the crappy side today. Just a bit off kilter (SP). Margaret I put another (20) cards in today’s mail and only have 13 left I must have put extras in another days mail. I’ll have to go pick up another 100 from the post office tomorrow. I’ll keep on HAND WRITING these till LIFETIME says OKAY Ladies we’re giving you as many seasons as you’d like just PLEASE STOP SENDING IN THOSE POSTCARDS (hee hee hee) And that’s exactly what they’re going to say. 🙂 😉
Anzia said
Tango- ^_^ “Cake or death?” I have the soundtrack to that on my iPod and listen to Eddy quite often. ^_^ He’s so funny! I have a confession, when you said “cake” then “henry” my mind went to the idea of frosting and the groceries he has sitting on his kitchen counter while Vicki… anyway. Didn’t quite make it to Eddy first. ^_^
Oh, I keep meaning to say but I like Styx too. I went to an REO Speedwagon and Styx concert my freshman year of college. ^_^ Loads and loads of fun.
Tango said
rifkind – sorry for your loss. Was this your neighbor? I think I must have missed something. {{{{{{{hugs to you}}}}}}}
Margaret & lwildstar – I don’t take the comments that lwildstar posted to be anything different than what we have already heard a couple of months ago. I’m hoping we know more by the end of next week. I think we just need to keep up the campaign we have going and stay optimistic. I’m sure Dizey has a few extra pair of rose colored glasses she’d be willing to share to help us all get through the next week or so. I’m with her, I feel good about a second season.
Claire – thanks for the French. I needed it! I feel like Morticia from the Adam’s family. Something about someone speaking French to me just motivates me! Quand Henry s’embrasse en haut mon mon bras à mon cou beaucoup comme Gomez fait à Morticia, il me motive pour faire des choses que je ne dois pas mentionner ici! Qui est d’accord avec le service avec un sourire! Je suis sûr qu’ils sont les mêmes services vous souriez de quand Henry est avec vous. 😉
DIZEY1 said
**Z** Sorry I didn’t get to congratulate you yesterday on your interview, I KNOW you’ve got the job if you want it, just make it yours. I am amazed at how many of you are STYX fans, too cool that they have crossed over few decades. It’s THE GRAND ILLUSION 🙂 I also saw and love REO Speedwagon, “You can tune a piano but you can’t tune a fish” Heard it from a friend who…….. 😎
Girls, we’ve got to keep positive thoughts about our show. The Secret is that what you think is what you’ll bring to you. Bad thoughts will bring more bad thoughts and that’s all you’ll attract. Keep those positive affirmations going so that’s all we’ll bring to us is positive good stuff which is what we want. 🙂 It’s not hocus pocus I swear. The law of attraction is what we need to use here think good thoughts. 😉
Tango said
Z – yes to cake and YES to Henry. And ABSOLUTLEY YES to cake and Henry! thanks for that imagery 😉 Have you been working on the next scene and could we please have cake and no death in it?
DIZEY1 said
TANGO
Yeah baby I’ve got plenty of those glasses to share with all my peeps here 😎
Tango said
Z – I didn’t realize you could download Eddie from Itunes – FABULOUS! I will do that now! I love Dressed to Kill. Thanks for that info. Which ones did you download? I wish they had him on video to download.
STYX – love them. Renegade being one of my all time favorite songs by them. I have a sister who is 6 years older than I am, so I was up on the cool music before most of my friends as she was a music major.
Chery said
Hey everyone!
How about a challenge for Fangs? Nettie has all of the info for purchasing at the Lifetime Board. At .14 cents each, How about purchasing 100 or 200 a piece? We could send at least 1,000 to LifeTime.
How about it everyone?????
Got an e-mail back from Slim Fast, one of the advertisers I e-mailed about seeing their ad on Blood Ties, they said thanks for noticing their ad on Blood Ties and sent me some coupons for Slim Fast. So my e-mail was noticed!
Don’t forget to play episodes on your computer from the LifeTime site.
O.K. off to write 20 more posticards………..
Himmiefan said
Morning everybody!
Ms Gypsy – “ya’ll” is a very useful word. Have at it.
Rifkind – I’m so sorry about your neighbor. Hugs!
Annalaise – so how much will you pay me not to reveal any spoilers? Just kidding!! (sort of..) 🙂
Vampgirl – so sorry for your knee. That can’t be fun..
As for the episodes, I also thought they were the back 9 and that maybe by showing them that way, it would give Canada time to catch up with us. Hmmmm. Well, if Lifetime doesn’t pick up, and I’m still feeling optimistic, then they’re crazy because 1) there several “immortality” and fantasy-type shows coming up in the fall so obviously there’s a market, 2) BT already has an established fan base which would be easier than creating one from scratch, and 3) um, what was three…. BT does appeal to their demograhpic, if they’d just read those postacards. Of course, the eye candy doesn’t hurt. 🙂
Oh, Dizey, hope you feel better!
DIZEY1 said
What do ya’ll wanna do about the fangs?? Do we don’t we?? We need to do something soon. I’m writing like I’m manic or something. My poor mom is my partner in crime with helping me out. See she loves me cuz’ how many mom’s would help their ADULT child write about a TV show. She’s cool and has had to put up with me since OMG the Donny Osmond days how’s that for a blast from the past. 😉 🙂
Margaret said
Dizey: Got to love your mom. Ordered an entire box from Nettie but also told her if it didn’t look like it would fly send them to me and I’d hand them out for Halloween. Told her we might want to send a test box. We need to decide if we are going to s— or —-the —.
lwildstar said
I have a link from Netti re: the fans if anhone is intereted – the LifeTime board gets a little cumbersom trying to find old posts on it.
I really can’t beleive LT would be ignoring the cards – really now if ten of us sent ten cards a day (including weekends) thats still what 700 a week? and I know there are more than ten of us!
Now admit Ihave fallen behind on emailing the sponsors – I’m going to leave myself a post it remeinder to do that everyday when i get home.
Just spent that last half hour looking for a file – I was nearly in tears – it was on my desk the entire time! I was looking under the wrong name! A mind is a terrible thing to loose.
Ok I’m going over to Lifetime and put an episode on to calm me down!
Margaret said
WE NEED MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE DOING THE POSTCARDS.
DIZEY1 said
Margaret,
My aunt works for a company called Big Wheel Novelties, she has some kind of fangs etc, but I don’t know if they are the same ones. If so I can get them at a good price w/her discount. I’ll see if they have a website and maybe we can look at them and figure out what we should do.
I’ll Be BACK 🙂
Chery said
Margaret and all:
Margaret, you are so right, more than 10 of us need to be sending postcards! I noticed on Bloodlines people are sending them in but 2-3 at a time.
Please everyone, in order to make an impact, we need over 1,000 postcards this week and if possible 1,000 fangs!
TIME IS CRITICAL, THIS WEEK COULD BE MAKE OR BREAK FOR ANOTHER SEASON OF BT
Himmiefan said
Hey Ms Gypsy – to get to this page, I had to go to the previous page (if that’s the correct term) and then click on the link you posted. Is it supposed to be that way?
lwildstar said
Sorry Margaret – was was just trying to point out how simple it is too get the numbers of postcards we need.
Anzia said
Hmm, I promise no death in the next installment.
I have everyone of his shows in audio. I have to admit that while you can get them off iTunes, I did not. ^_^ Dressed to kill is my absolute favorite as well. I really want to walk around with a flags and just claim things half the time. :0)
How many people do we have here? Diz, tango, laurel, me, alisa, claire, ms.gypsy, himmie, blah (wherever she went off too), LH, LA, Danielle, Chery, Cree, Madonna, Vicki, Margaret, prtfvr, lwildstar, rifkind, vampgirl… that’s 21 and that’s assuming I didn’t miss anyone… If I did… SORRY! Wasn’t intentional!
Thanks again for all the positive thoughts re: the job. ^_^ I really love you guys. You’re absolutley great!
Diz- I hope you’re feeling better. ((((HUGS))))
elizabeth said
msgypsy – I too was married to a southerner and lived outside of Nashville for a lot of years. I can say Ya’ll with the best of them 🙂 So this is for all you wonderful Southern women out there – I know you will get a giggle out of it like I did.

Clean skin.
A winning smile.
That unforgettable Southern drawl.

“Yes, ma’am.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Why, no, Billy!”
Southern women have a distinct way with fond expressions :
“Y’all come back!”
“Well, bless your heart.”
“Drop by when you can.”
“How’s your Momma?”

Southern girls know their prime real estate:
The Mall

The Beauty Salon
Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins:
Having bad hair and nails
Having bad manners
Cooking bad food
More Southern-ism’s:
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don’t “HAVE” them, you “PITCH” them.
_____
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up “a mess.”
_____
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of “yonder.”
_____
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long “directly” is, as in: “Going to town, be back directly.”
_____
Even Southern babies know that “Gimme some sugar” is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
_____
All Southerners know exactly when “by and by” is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
_____
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who’s got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor’s trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!
_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between “right near” and “a right far piece.” They also know that “just down the road” can be 1 mile or 20.
_____
Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a redneck, a good ol’ boy, and po’ white trash.
_____
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
_____
A Southerner knows that “fixin” can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
_____
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, … and when we’re “in line,”. We talk to everybody!
_____
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they’re related, even if only by marriage.
_____
In the South, y’all is singular, all y’all is plural.
_____
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
_____
When you hear someone say, “Well, I caught myself lookin’,” you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____
Only true Southerners say “sweet tea” and “sweet milk.” Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it — we do not like our tea unsweetened. “Sweet milk” means you don’t want buttermilk.
____
And a true Southerner knows you don’t scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,”Bless her heart” … and go your own way.
_____
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart!
_____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, … bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin’ to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
_____
And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y’all need a sign to hang on y’alls front porch that reads “I ain’t from the South, but I got here as fast as I could.”
Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !
Now.. … Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had been!
If you’re a Northern transplant, Bless your little heart, fake it.
We know you got here as fast as you could!
May this day bring you joy!

22- Elizabeth! *smacks head* I’m going to feel really horrible once I relize just who I forgot on that list. I swear it wasn’t intentional!
elizabeth said
Dizey1 – I keep forgetting to mention that I am also a “practitioner” of The Secret. Love that book and how it has helped me turn some negative habits into positive reinforcement – now, if I only had 480 years of positive reinforcement like our favorite Vamp – look out world!! 😉
Himmiefan said
🙂 “Bless you (his, her, etc) heart.” is a very useful expression. When done with a concerned look and sympathetic tone, it means “oh poor thing.” When done with a smile or even half smile, it means “you’re so dumb!”
Anzia – there’s also catcornmom, moonbeam, and mara.
Anzia said
25 then…
elizabeth said
“Hey Ms Gypsy – to get to this page, I had to go to the previous page (if that’s the correct term) and then click on the link you posted. Is it supposed to be that way?”
I’m having the same problem that Himmiefan is. 😦
elizabeth said
Himmiefan – Believe me, I have found some of those southern expressions so very, very convenient at times! When I mix them up with my British roots, people never know what I am saying…too funny 🙂
Anzia said
I saved the link in my favorites then just clicked on it. If you look under the title for htis page it says it’s filed under uncategorized. So if you’re looking under the BT convo’s it won’t be there. ^_^ Or at least I assume that’s the way it works…
elizabeth said
prtfvr – You just keep getting better and better! I giggle my way through all your chapters and can’t wait for the next installment!

lwildstar-Wasn’t yelling at you. I’m sure we’re thinking that we’re getting some where but I’m wondering how much impact we’re making when they are thinking they want viewers in the millions.
Got the same old letter from Lifetime, usual intro, here’s an excerpt of what followed intro:
“Blood Ties” completed its first season of 12 episodes on May 20th.
Lifetime is excited to announce that “Blood Ties” will return for a
second season of ten new episodes in the fall. Please stay tuned to
Lifetime for more information. If you can’t get enough of “Blood Ties” or
missed an episode, they can be purchased from iTunes by going to
http://www.lifetimetv.com and selecting the shop button.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx
Then after that they go into selling the other two shows they premiered.
Margaret said
Now Lifetime is launching its next generation of new programming,
beginning on Sundays at 8PM (ET/PT) two new dramas will be added to the
lineup. (Insert text about the other two shows,……)
Although the last line did sound kind of hopeful:

The three shows they are talking about are Blood Ties, Slice of Life and State of Mind. First part of the letter mentions that they are glad I’m interested in their new series Blood Ties, the story of…….. Then it skips to the promo on the other shows and then the paragraph below follows.
Margaret said
Forget everything I just said: I’ll just post the whole thing and you all can see what you think:
Dear Viewer:
Thank you for your email. We are happy to hear of your interest in the
“Blood Ties,” a drama series starring Christina Cox as a private
investigator specializing in solving supernatural crimes, who joins in an

family therapist whose personal problems rival those of her eclectic
and offbeat patients. Then at 10PM (ET/PT) with “Army Wives,” starring

man living with their spouses and families on an active army post and

Tango said
Elizabeth – I loved your Southern post. I am a GRITS myself (Girl Raised In The South) and appreciated this light-hearted way you’ve explained our idiocyncracies. My roommie that I had for the convention last week was England las transplanted in Tennessee & married to Tennessean. I got a big kick out of her trying to put on a Southern accent. I would love to hear some of your British/Southern expressions.
Anzia – let’s not forget about Susana. Our Kenyan (?) sista transplanted in TX. I just e-mailed her to see how she’s been. There’s also Nina & Terresa we haven’t heard from in awhile.
I downloaded Dressed to Kill thinking that Death or Cake was on it, but I never heard it. What performance was that from?
Tango said
Try this link and just log on from this page.
Madonna said
Hey everyone!
Rifkind,
So sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you.
Margaret,
I’m still fighting the fight…. Postcards, emails, searches…..
So who thinks they are going to do fangs?
All this talk on here about the south and the term y’all, I just had to look this up and share. It’s a water tower about 10 minutes from where I live.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Y'all_Water_Tower
rifkind said
Tango –
Thanks to all of you you hug, and right back at you {{{ H U G S }}}
Yes my sweet Angel was my neighbor, and like a Mom to me for the last 21 years. After her husband died we started taking her to dinner with us every Wednesday night. She was LOVE incarnate, never a bad word about anybody. I’m sure that there won’t be enough room at the funeral home to hold everybody.
Like I said the other day, her life was about Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness. She passed surrounded by loved ones and sent to Heaven with prayers.
Sorry to be a downer, having all of you here as extended family helps so much!
Madonna said
Ok, That link didn’t work? Lets try this again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all
Tango said
Rifkind – Wow! What a legacy to leave. We should all strive to leave such an impact on this earth. Your paths crossed for a reason. Maybe to carry the torch that she has passed on – passing it forward, if you will. It sounds like you are already taking a piece of her and sharing it with those around you.
Madonna said
Err…. One more time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Y%27all_Water_Tower
Himmiefan said
Margaret – thanks so much for posting that letter. I think is sounds good.
One thing I meant to point out earlier is what happens if BT really takes off and Lifetime hasn’t bought the other episodes. Bad for them. Don’t some networks buy a series and don’t show some episodes if the series tanks?
Susana, Theresa, and Nina, I forgot about them!
I was in London a few years ago visiting my cousin, who was living there. I had the best time teaching his British girlfriend how to talk Southern. I got her to say “nice, white rice” with a really good twang. 🙂
Tango said
Himmiefan – are you a GRITS too?
“Nice white rice” – is that the test phrase? LOL 🙂
There are others we haven’t heard from in awhile too:
Maddie Mo & Scotialynn
Himmiefan said
Madonna – how cute! Reminds me of a kosher deli we had back in the town where I grew up. They had a sign in the window that said, “Shalom ya’ll!”
Rifkind – double hugs!
rifkind said
Tango or MsGypsy.
The new topic needs to be Edited and then the Parent page set to the (Blood Ties Conversation ) Category.
Then we can easily find the new conversation
Lady Afrodyte said
I’ve just been keeping this conversation open in a new tab so I don’t lose it.
Afternoon all! I slept in a little late. eep!
rifkind said
Again thanks everyone for the Hugs! 🙂
lwildstar said
Margaret: Those are the same letters I got from Lifetime
Tango said
Rifkind – I have e-mailed Gypsy about it as that would be something that she would need to remedy.
Does everyone right click and add to favorites everytime she starts a new page? This is how I keep up with it.
Madonna – the water tower was great. It reminds me of going to the PGA tournament while it was in Birmingham, AL.
Tango said
OK, I wasn’t finished…
Madonna – It reminds me of going to the PGA tournament while it was in Birmingham, AL and they would hold up signs that stated “Hush Y’all!” when the golfers would step up to the ball.
Now I’m finished.
Claire said
Bon Jour mes amis et famille!
Rifkind…((((((((HUG)))))))) it is always a blessing to have known someone like your angel.I’m sorry for your loss.
Tango…mais naturellement… je comprends pourquoi vous souriez… je souriez toujours quand Henri me rend visite !
Lady A….we are the same height…I felt very gawky and insecure when I was young until a wonderful teacher in High School told me”Never be embarrassed about your height,Hold your head up and walk proud when you enter a room and when everyone turns around to look smile!”….She was so amazing…I think she kind of suspected my life was not the usual teen life and always gave me encouragement! She also wrote in my yearbook” Never stop and hide your smile…you are a beautiful young lady inside and out I wish beautiful things for you!” Those words got me through so much when I needed them!
Now…I love being tall! My daughter Nikki is also 5ft 8in….I don’t do high heels anymore because of an injury…but Nikki…girl…she loves those 4 and 5 inch heels…she looks like a Goddess in them!
Ms.Dizey…J’espère que vous sentez meilleur aujourd’hui mon cher ami.
Anyway I’m off to look at prtfvrs latest installment..check back later!
XOXOXO 😛
Chery said
Just a thought, but does anyone know how to check the ratings of the two new shows that LifeTime is premiering?
I would like to see how they compare with BT’s ratings.
Anyone??????
Lady Afrodyte said
Claire, I shouldn’t wear heel either. I’ve got really bad knee and back problems, but heels looks way too good for me to give them up!
elizabeth said
My daughter is very tall – she is about 5’9″ and has been lucky enough to have an older brother that always made her feel good about her height. She has towered over many of her school friends and it has only been in the last year or so that the boys are starting to shoot up and not be so much shorter than she is. I have never seen her slouch (I think I spelled that wrong) and she loves to tease me about being short (5’4″). She loves being tall. I suspect, Claire, that she will also proudly wear heel when she decides that jeans and t-shirts and the ever present flip-flops no longer are her uniform 🙂
Tango said
Claire – did you just tell Dizey that you hope she smelled better today? I hope that was a mistake on my part, as I wouldn’t want to see the ragin’ Cajun come out in her. 😉
prtfvr – Kyles IMBd starmeter is up by 3% today. I hope that means that I make a difference since I wasn’t able to search him las week while I was out of pocket – he was down 2% according to the figures you posted.
Tango said
Chery, no I don’t know where to get those figures, but would also love to know.
DIZEY1 said
Merci Claire. J’espère que ce bogue part bientôt !
Elizabeth , yes I bought the movie (The Secret) and a lady I work with who originally *TURNED* me onto it had the audio discs so I copied those and cruise around with them in my car all the time now. Gotta try somethin’. And I am one of those grits girls also. I loved the list, hysterical and alot is so very true. Now what’s even funnier is if ya’ll come down hea’ and listen to my Cajun family, Poooyaya!!! Cher’ dey talk alot like dis’. Heavy cajun accents it’s a trip. Some will talk in French but more Cajun French than Claire’s Parisian French.
Rifkind, XOXOXOXO for your sweet friend. She’ll be in my prayers.

elizabeth, I think your daughter would find that a good pair of heels with those jeans makes them look 10x better. 😉
Lady Afrodyte said
Not that I am one to give clothing advice at the moment… I’m still in my “summer” pj’s. Men’s boxers and a tank top.
It’s way too hot for real clothes at the moment.
elizabeth said
Lady A – Krysten is more into comfort right now, but with her long, long legs heels would be fabulous. In our Karate class students are warned about her long legs – her kicks will knock you through a wall 🙂 Me, I’m definately more into comfort. Heels (I had to backspace because I typed hells – fraudian much?) kill me.

Anzia,
I know I haven’t been around much lately but you forgot me too.
Anzia said
I add each page to my favorite too! ^_^
Okay so our numbers are now 29 + Sai13 = 30 and that doesn’t include the people who lurk but don’t post. They might be helping too!
Um… I think Cake or Death is in Glorious.
and for all you hens i have something for you. NOT from me! but something great nonetheless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQAXrQNQjtQ Nina showed me that one… so all thanks should be directed her way. ^_^
Anzia said
SORRY! Dr. Duchat! 😦 31… *throws hands up* I give up. Horrible horrible memory!
Lady Afrodyte said
I found this pair of knee high heeled boots that feel like slippers when I wear them. Omg, they are totally my favorite pair of shoes right now.
ok, talking about shoes is dangerous when I can’t go shoe shopping!
Lady Afrodyte said
poor Z! It’s hard to remember all of the folks that come and go through here. I was surprised you remembered as many as you did!
*huuuugs*
Claire said
Lmao! Tango!Lord no! I said I hope she feels better today!!!!
clearly you need more French! Where’s Henry? get him to Tango Asap!!!!
Elizabeth…Nikki also has a brother who loves her height…but then he’s 6ft5!
Yesterday…I was complaining about a hanging light fixture where the lightbulb blew out…it hangs in the middle of a curving staircase in the hallway…I kept wondering for weeks how I could get up there..can’t use a ladder.So yesterday Chris goes what are you complaining about? this thing? goes up the stairs reaches up and changes the bulb…Victoria was amazed and said” Wow Chris you are so big!” Chris goes” Yeah gee thanks little for making me feel like a giant!” I said ” I knew you would come in handy someday!” Then he started goofing on his older sister..”Well at least I’m not Tiny Tim like Monique!” she is 5ft4 like her paternal grandmother.Monique always pokes fun at herself…she saids my refusal to breastfeed her stunted her growth..and that I created giants by breastfeeding everyone else! LOL!
Anyway Dizey this is for you…but everyone else enjoy also!
Ok if I did this right it should be 3 pics of Jake and 1 pic of his parents my daughter Monique and her husband Matt….She looks 12 in the pic instead of 30!!!
Himmiefan said
Tango – yep, I’m GRITS too. 🙂
Claire will love this, or will scream in horror, it could go either way. I took three years of French in high school, and one of our teachers was a really nice woman who was from France. We had the best time practicing our vocabulary words with a double dose of twang. Drove her crazy! At the end of the year, we chipped in and got her a book called “How to Speak Southern.”
Anzia said
Thanks LA. ^_^ I just feel bad for forgetting people…
I’m not southern although I get accused of having the accent at times. It’s REALLY obvious when I get mad! Which is kind of funny since I’m from Ohio and have only lived there and WI. *shrugs* oh well… but I just wanted to say that I LOVE GRITS! and am the only one in my family (except the step-father who lives in OH) who does and everytime someone mentions them I get REALLY hungry! ^_^
Lady Afrodyte said
My mother was raised by folks from Arkansas. It’s really funny when she tries to say certain things, like Wash. Wash becomes Warsh…. SO I’ve got to Warsh the dishes, and start the Warshing machine, pick up the Warsh cloths…
Sometimes just to pick on her I tell her “Mom, I don’t know how to Warsh the dishes, but I can Wash them, is that close enough?”
Margaret said
Forgive me for basically posting that letter twice. Won’t do anything like that again. I realize it takes up too much space.
Lady Afrodyte said
It’s ok Margaret. It lets us know that at least someone is getting a response from Lifetime, even if it is a form letter.
Anzia said
yup no worries margaret
elizabeth said
Woo Hoo – my friend just called to remind me that we have a “girls only” weekend coming up 🙂 How could I have spaced that this is the weekend we go away???? I must be working 😉 too hard, or something! We plan to check out a spa at the coast, do a little wine tasting on the way down 🙂 and who knows what else. Life is good, my friends 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
I am so jealous! I want a spa weekend!
Have fun, be safe!
Madonna said
Lady Afrodyte,
Honestly, where I live 5’8″ is not really that tall. My sister is 5’8″. My niece however is well on her way to becoming a giant. Harley is 8 years old and she is already 4’10” and wears a size 9 shoe. I only only wear a 6 1/2. I believe that this time next year she’ll be taller than me.
Ladies, Ask an ye shall receive. Here’s the ratings for Side Order Of Life and State Of Mind
http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6461095.html
Margaret said
Blood Ties only got 1.3 million didn’t they, which means it was half of what the others did. Am I wrong?
Lady Afrodyte said
I wish being 5’8″ weren’t so tall, but walking through the mall I’m a giant! Not to mention I’m not a twig. And when I wear my 6″ heels to go dancing in… Holy cow!
Madonna said
Blood Ties debuted at 1.6, got as high as 2.something and average 1.3!
Lady Afrodyte said
The thing to remember is that Blood Ties did not get the push that the other shows did because it’s a vampire show. I’m waiting to see how it does in the fall, which should be the perfect time for it.
Madonna said
The one thing you have to remember about those numbers is the fact that Blood Ties was not promoted nearly as much as those other three. No one knew about BT. We’re changing that now!!!!
Madonna said
Lady Afrodyte,
Great minds think alike right?
elizabeth said
Blood ties would have probably done a lot better if they had advertised as much for it as they have for these new shows, don’t you think? How many of us found it by accident…I know I did.
DIZEY1 said
Now Ladies, all that being said remember what Denis said not to concentrate on ratings and demographics it’s not our forte’ and that’s not what they (network) want to hear from us. I for one don’t have a clue as to what those numbers really mean. I’m not sweating those because I don’t know what it does or doesn’t do for our show. That’s the bean counters job I guess. I think if anything it makes us think that Blood Ties didn’t do well and I think in the short time it was on and not Highly publicized (SP) that it did do good numbers for a show that’s not normally their forte”. Did that make any sense at all. I lost myself there, must be that damned cemetary bug that Angelique slipped into my Voodoo doll.
I’ll catch y’all ehen I get home.
elizabeth said
Good grief! It looks like we all were thinking the same thing!
Himmiefan said
It seems to me that Lifetime didn’t promote BT as much as the other programs, which I think they produced. I think BT was almost an afterthought and based on that, probably did pretty well. Imagine how well it could do if they promote it as well as the other programs!
Grits must be cooked with milk, salt, and butter and must be very creamy. Use of sugar is an abomination!! Adding in cheddar cheese is a plus.
Just listened to “Lorelei.” on my iPod. 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
whoa, totally, Madonna!
Geeet out of my head!!
lol 😛
I did find the show by accident. I was flipping past lifetime and saw Lovely Kyle in an ad and stopped. It was the only ad I saw and I had nearly forgot about the show by the time it aired.
DIZEY1 said
I love Lorelei, and yes sugar in grits is grose(sp) Most def. add the cheese.
Himmiefan said
Um, looks like great minds are thinking alike.
Lady Afrodyte said
Now if any of you all are snacking on carrots we have simply gotten too familiar with each other….
Lady Afrodyte said
I think it ate my post. Shoot!
If any of you all are snacking on carrots… that would just too fricken weird.
Lady Afrodyte said
I killed the blog!
Himmiefan said
No, no, not to worry! I think a lot of us are just on the way home.
elizabeth said
Unlike those of us on the West Coast that still have at least an hour left of work – bummer
Lady Afrodyte said
ahh… I always forget that there is a time difference between some of us.
d’oh!
elizabeth said
yes, but isn’t it lovely that we can forget time and distance?
Lady Afrodyte said
Yep! Well that is until I think I killed the blog with carrots… Thats an odd feeling by the way.
elizabeth said
I don’t think carrots would be my weapon of choice…. Luckily, they didn’t kill the blog 😉
Madonna said
Lady Afrodyte,
Ya didn’t kill it. Himmiefan was right. I was just in transit.
Lady Afrodyte said
oo yay you all are kinda back.
My fiance took off with a friend to go watch a live showing of ECW (wrestling) so I’m alone in the house with my napping nephew. So bored!
Madonna said
When I was young I liked wrestling. Now I can not stand it!!!!
Lady Afrodyte said
I watch it occasionally. I’ll watch tonight because I think they got ring side seats. I am kinda jealous because he gets to go out, but oh well.
elizabeth said
I think it is time for me to shut down the computer and head home. Talk to all of you tomorrow.
Madonna said
Well, I’m going to jump off here for now and grab a bite and finish my postcards. After that candle making, then writing, maybe the Gazelle for a few minutes. With any luck I’ll make it to bed by 2am.
Love y’all!
Check back in later
Tango said
I just wanted to drop in for a momento, por favor, before I go eat cheap Mexican, to say that I too found BT by accident. I was scanning the TIVO programming guide and from what I recall, the summary didn’t even mention vampire. From what I remember, we watched it the next night and loved it so much I immediately “season pass” ed it. I never saw a promo for it or anything.
Check you guys when I get back from the border.
AlisaSG said
elizabeth,
>> Blood ties would have probably done a lot better if they had advertised as much for it as they have for these new shows, don’t you think? How many of us found it by accident…I know I did.
mine was just *good* timing..
I hadn’t been watching LIFETIME for a while, and don’t normally watch much TV (outside of Sci-Fi and the news), but saw an article blurb in the local TV guide, which I had stopped reading for a while, too, because the former guides were getting boring (nuttin interesting on).. and came across a picture of Christina Cox and Kyle, with a summary explaining about the first ep of Blood Ties, and that it’d be a regular series on Lifetime.
That same night between commercials, I made an announcement on a web site that isn’t BT related, to let everyone there know about the show being on. Only a few people replied. The rest were probably lurking, or didn’t get the channel at all.
A few weeks later when Craig Veroni guest starred as Emmanuel (in the LOVE HURTS ep where Henry *really* kissed Vicki for the first time), I found a few postings about Craig’s appearance in BT over at his topic on Gateworld. 😉
so, that’s 2 web sites outside of BT’s regular sites that I know of, where some or a lot of info has been posted. Because Norman kicked Henry’s butt a bit too much, now Michael Eklund (Norman) has become the favorite on the one web site.. *sigh*
gotta do something encouraging — so the few who are watching (and sharing there) don’t give up on their first wonders of Henry.. (that’s at both web sites — which have very strong connections to most of the world — on a larger scale than LIFETIME has).
moonbeam2016 said
Damn Anzia – That utube scene got the blood rushing, heart thumping and could make one wet whew. . . . . talk about breathn’ heavy
AlisaSG said
BTW, it took me a few more weeks before I found Tanya’s blog and posted on it.
———-
Anzia,
>> Who wants to feel like their show isn’t appreiciated by the network that’s airing it?
>> Alisa- you said something about finding another channel to take BT but, as someone mentioned before, why would they buy a series when they don’t have the first season? Not too many, if any, will do that.
I’m not sure what you’re actually talking about, but I do remember a while back discussing about how popular “BLADE” got on SPIKE-TV. The series got cancelled about a month after it’s last episode from the first and only season aired, because SPIKE apparently wanted better ratings, or something like that.
So, faithful viewers of the BLADE series went researching into other possible networks that might pick up the series, including the Sci-Fi channel (to which many pleaded a very loud–
“NO!! They killed Stargate! They’d only do the same to BLADE”
so, the viewers kept on looking for other networks to write to, etc.)
BLOOD TIES on Lifetime.. sounds like a deja vu of BLADE’s same problem..
–Unless other countries get better and higher results than LIFETIME did, and seek a renewal directly from TPTB who create Blood Ties. If the other countries pick up positive results on their *own* stations, it could make LIFETIME’s own efforts of advertising into it .. well.. obviously show someone which programs Lifetime prefers to air (if Lifetime doesn’t get/take the *hint*).
vicki said
I too found BT by “accident” I am a tv aholic..and I was flipping channels and they said my name during the promo..and of ccourse I stopped and watched and listened. Made a mental note to watch it, and saw the ad in the TV guide. The ad mentioned vampire and of course the picture of Kyle helped. So I set the Tivo and watched at the same time. LOL
The other thing is…Lifetime has rerun all these “new” shows just about every day!!! during the “high” time. BT was only rerun the same night at midnight!!!
PLEASE!!! I have seen the army wifes running like a marathon some days..and the same goes for State of Mind, and side ORder of Life..etc.
IF they want to keep the show they would rerun it as often as they could. i dont thinnk the content of the show would stop them from rerunning it during the evening hours. 4-7pm….but it doesnt matter I am still sending my postccards..and still wearing my t-shirt
BTW my room mate from college was MAJOR southern girl, from Shaw, MS. She knew all that southern girl stuff..and I learned alot!!

Just checking in. I’ve been off doing other stuff, trying to get motivated to teach 5 days of craft classes for VBS next week. My heart is just not in it this year.
Rifkind – so sorry to hear of the loss of your “angel”.
Postcards! I’m drowning in postcards. I have to hand decoreat the little buggers and I just don’t have the kind of tallent I would like to have for this medium. That said, I am hoping they are getting so many they don’t know what to do with them.
Killing the blog with carrots!!! Man, that is funny! 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
*smirk*
Don’t make me pull the carrots back out, man. I’ll do it! I’m crazy enough to do it!
Laurel said
Fine. I’ll just have mine with some ranch dressing. 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
*whips out the carrots*
Mwahahahahaha!!!!
Here you go. Would like like a glass of iced tea to go with that?
Laurel said
Yeah, I take my iced tea straight up. No sugar. No lemon.
en’garde!

What is with my Henry fellow? One minute he is there and the next he is blank~ go figure!
Lady Afrodyte said
goodness I’ve gotten silly.
I think that means it’s dinner time!
I’ll be back after I shovel food in me and my nephew.
Wish me luck!
Laurel said
Dang, moonbeam, I am soooo jealous! Why didn’t you learn to do that while you were at my house? Now you’ll have to come back!
I think you have to be logged in for your avitar to show up. Now, figure out how to put a pic behind your name. If you scroll over the names that are printed in orange you can click and get a picture. Warning, some of them are pretty hot!

Ooh, ooh, I have got to go there, Oh Yeah! Did you see that youtube video Anzia mentioned? I’m still panting.
msgypsy said
I think there’s a chance the link problem had something to do with me forgetting to categorize the topic. It’s categorized now, and if you’re still having problems, please let me know.
BTW, having my work email wouldn’t have helped today. I was in a 3 hour tech committee meeting (the contractor sitting next to me kept poking me to keep me awake. Too bad he’s married cuz he’s darned cute and I was perfectly happy to let him poke me…) and training a temp to replace me. Busy, busy day.
Tango said
Moonbeam – I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you. I’m Tango, one of the GRITS we’ve been talking about today. You must also reside in OR since you are visiting with Laurel – I have a younger sister who lives up in Portland. Have you met Laurel’s sister Lauren?
You must have joined us while I was out of town last week. Glad you’ve decided to join us. How did you find us?
Tango said
Good news Minxes – Dylan has made two movies for Lifetime while on hiatus. One called ‘Secret Past’ w/Kelli Martin (playing the husband w/the wandering eye) and ‘The Art of Dating’ with Ricki Lake (playing the guy that gets the girl)
Laurel said
Tango – Moonbeam is my sister-in-law! We are married to brothers, and are essential to one another’s mental health. While you were out and about I had a little incident involving the ER and she is the one who took me there. She lives about 100 miles down the freeway from me.
Laurel said
Oh yeah, moonbeam had assured me – all spring and well into summer – “I don’t do vampires.” Then while she was visiting at my house I was on the blog and pulled up a pic someone had behind their name and she was standing behind me. “Wow! Who is that?!” When I explained that that was the Vampire I’d been trying to show her she had a change of heart. We proceeded to watch all 12 of the episodes aired to date. Then she borrowed all the Blood Books and began reading. We took Henry to the hospital with us so she wouldn’t have to wait alone while I was floating on pain meds. 🙂
DIZEY1 said
CLAIRE, Jake est un bébé très beau. Jake ressemble à Monique 🙂 Remerciez-les des belles photographies.
Tango thanks for the Dylan update. Now if we could find out when Kyle’s flick is out or where it will be aired. I need Kyle/Henry fix. You see how those two just flipped, Kyle’s never fought to be in front of Henry before, hmmmmm. Laurel isn’t it sooooo easy to **TURN** someone once they SEE the Vampire??

HI BlogKin…
I’m down in the dumps tonight….The big old house that I live in,I don’t own…I rent.Well tonight my A$#hole of a landlord called me and said”I’m not making enough money off you so unless you can pay 2500 a month..you can move cause I’m not renewing your lease.My lease ends on my Birthday Aug.24! Hows that for a great Birthday!!!!!
My oldest quadruplet Alexandria is very sensitive and shy…she burst into tears.I got her calmed down…then when she went to bed..she looked around her room and burst into tears again…which made me start crying…which made Nikki start crying…which made Chris start cursing and saying he wanted to kill the landlord!
So,I can’t afford 2500 amonth…if that was the case..I would have bought the effing house! So he tells me start looking as soon as possible!
Now I can’t even think straight….and looking at my babies crying is breaking my heart…they love it here!
Anyway I’m having a real hard time staying positive…like jeez how much more do we have to go through! I wish I had Henry….I’d sic him on my money hungry evil landlord!!!!
See you guys tomorrow…going to look on Craigs list…see if I see anything.
wish me luck!
Lady Afrodyte said
Oh no! How horrible. That man needs a good butt-whoopin! Ok a few more colorful words came out of my mouth, but I tried to be nicer on here.
Laurel said
Oh my yes! It was almost tooo easy to catch her with Henry/Kyle.
I am working on others as well. When I droped my Rose off at camp I was carrying my i-pod with Henry frozen on the screen. (I was hoping to turn new viewers). What do you know, both the camp director and one of the councelors (sp) saw the pick and said – in unison – “hey! I watch that show! Where did it go?” Of course I gave them the whole story and invited them to join us. They probably won’t but who knows?
Now who was it that turned me to the “Black Dagger Brotherhood” books? Merde’ I am on the fourth book already! They are really hot!!!!
DIZEY1 said
Claire, it’ll be ok. Positive , I know it’s hard but something good will come. I’ll say a prayer for you tonight. You’ve got a guardian angel watching ya’ll so keep a good thought and I will too. If you need anything you know where to find me.
Laurel said
Claire darlin’, we will be out here sending you lots of positive energy and prayers. Change is so hard on our children, and watching them hurting is the worst part of parenting.
DIZEY1 said
Well I’m heading for bed oops gotta write out the last 13 of my last 100 postcards then I’ll jump in bed. Henry’s waiting you know and he can be a little grouchy when he needs to be fed….. 😉 🙂

moonbeam2016 said
Oh My Claire, I am definitely thinking of you and sending every little bit of positive energy that I can muster your way. I sent bunches of X#%! to the landlord, as well. UGGG
Laurel- I am heading to the library for the”Black Dagger Brotherhood” Books my interest is piqued. author, please! I’m waiting for the first two of the “smoke books” so I’m definitely needing something!
moonbeam2016 said
Still trying to figure out the orange name and Hot picture scene! Plan to get there!
Tango said
Claire dear my heart goes out to you. Just remember that God will not bring to anything that He will not bring you through, and He will not put you through anything He knows you can not handle. So I must say, He must think you are one tough cookie. He must have something great in store for you, just have faith that either there is a better house for you and your family, or He will provide a way for you to make this increased amount for the rent. If it is a move for your family then maybe there is something about the house that is not right ( it could be the ghost in the printer will cause problems down the road, or there maybe black mold that will one day creep up. Who knows! God knows everything, things we may never understand, things we may never even think of, but there is a reason for everything that happens in our life, so be of good cheer and trust that He will take care of you.
In 2003 when my husband lost his job w/UPS due to his accident, I knew that I needed to make a change in my job to make up the difference. God sent that job to me, but it was a big leap of faith, because I initially knew it was about a $15k paycut in my base salary. With commissions, I ended up about $300 ahead of what I made with my last job, but every year I have steadily made considerably more. Last year I increased my salary by about 39% – best year so far. I never would have achieved that with the last company, and it took something bad, something drastic, for me to step out of my comfort zone and take that leap of faith. He has always been there for me and will always be there for you.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
You are one of the strongest, bravest, most loving, beautiful people I know. I have no doubt you will come out of this ordeal shining like the star that you are.
Himmiefan said
Claire – prayers for you and your kids. I know you’ll find something better than what you have!
Tango said
Laurel – so I guess moonbean knows Lauren afterall (smiles) I do remember you having to go to the emergency room right before I left for OKC. How have you been since? Did you have to go back again last week?
I’m curious to know what pictures sealed the deal. Was it one of the ones with Sinead? I know Dizey ususally has some steamy pictures behind her name. Although any of the pictures of Kyle make me swoon.
AlisaSG said
news Flash on “FLASH GORDON” with Gina Holden..
there’s a topic started that you can follow the latest flips or flops from the critics of Sci-Fi channel’s new series.. starts August 10th at 9:00 PM (I’m guessing that’s EST – NY, USA time).
TOPIC: “Flash Freakin’ Gordon!!”
http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=39436
..I hate it when the critics (and *bridge* trolls) get in dissing things before the show has even aired. At that rate, Gina won’t have a chance of survival on there, because even tho she’ll most likely be the appealing *eye* candy, the rest of the show has already been declared a *disaster* before it’s even been shown!!
Tango said
Moonbeam and Laurel – see if these directions will help you with the picture behind the name.
1. Find a picture on the web that you want behind your name and capture the web address from the site. There are many at the bloodties-bloodlines site. Ie. http://bloodties-bloodlines.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=383&fullsize=1
2. Make sure you are logged in here
3. Go to ‘My Dashboard’ at the top of the screen
4. Go to ‘Profile’
5. Go to ‘Contact Info’ to the ‘Website’ box and enter the url (web address) of the picture you want behind your name.
6. Scroll down and click ‘update profile’
7. Scroll up and click ‘view site’
8. click on the page you want to go to and you will see it there once you post.
Presto magico!

I never listen to the critics. They rarely have the same POV as me. They always seem to be so jaded and don’t seem to enjoy the simple pleasures some programs offer.

Moonbeam, yes BT brings the eyecandy, it’s when you get to the point like many of us have when you also look forward to the geeky freaks like Norman that you know that you are ‘insert twist’ and won’t be letting go anytime soon.
Hey does anyone have the link saved of the fanfic that was so steamy a while back? You know the one that came with the warning not to read at work 😉 I didn’t have time to read it back then, but it may also be a good to share with some of the newbies.
Lady Afrodyte said
you know I never did get to read that fanfic… I try to stay away from fanfic stories least they cloud my images of the characters… And now here I am writing it… Oh poop!
Tango said
LA – you did such a fantastic job with it too. I admire those who have the talent and the patience to make their thoughts appear on paper or screen as the case may be. I don’ have a problem with images getting clouded as I watch the originals so often, but I can see your point.

I’ll also be very honest. A lot of the fanfic I encounter online is nothing but junk. You find thousands of fanfic sites that are looking for pornography. While I like a little romance and sex in my stories, if thats all it is then why write it?
Sex is good, sex is great, but if you wanna see your favorite characters doing it, dream it, don’t waste web space.
Now that being said, I still love what our ladies have been writing. It is creative and original.
Man I sound like an ass tonight!

moonbeam2016 said
Well, Dang I guess I was impatient with all those posts. Some didn’t show up and I was sure they didn’t work and I couldn’t post at all so I started all over and did it again. Oh well, now I know how to do it! Good learning curve
Tango said
moonbeam, don’t know why but sometimes post get caught up in limbo until either msgypsy or I can release them. I didn’t realize that anything was caught up until Lady A mentioned it. We’ve noticed that sometime’s links within the post or long post will end up in post purgatory, but not sure what the deal was tonight. Don’t worry about your muliple posts, we understand you’re new at this.

Night All!
Anzia said
Claire- I’m sorry honey! ((((HUGS)))) You have my thoughts and prayers. If there’s anything else I can do you have my contact info. I suggest the Order of the Yum pay a special and not so nice visit to that landlord of yours. Total jerk! UGH… i hate people like that… 😦 (((HUGS))) here’s another one… so sorry hon.
I’ve read quite a bit of CSI fanfic and it’s amazing some of the plotlines people come up with. Some of the stuff I’ve read is better than the episodes themselves. There are of course the barely hidden porno ones of course, but i shy away from those. Which is why I was leary of writing the stuff I have and am for BT. It was described as “porno” by someone and I REALLY don’t want that label on them. Which means more plot but I can’t do that as quickly as I can when I’m just doing sensations and minor plots… Oi.
I’ll have something new for you guys either tomorrow night or really early Thurs. morning.
I’m going ot bed guys. g’night.

Ms Anzia – I just replied to your e-mail on writing.com. At least I think I replied; I have no idea where to type a response. Am I doing it in the right place? Simple! I need simple!!
Anzia said
himmie dear. if you hit reply and then just DELETE everything else… there’s no problem. ^_^ It makes it simple. I just type at the top of the box given after I hit “reply.” If that’s right is a different matter. It works for me. ^_^
Himmiefan said
Hi everybody. I’ve been scanning posts and have a question since you all are talking about fanfic and sex. There’s something that’s been bugging me from a writer’s point of view. Let’s just say that Vicki and Henry do the deed (I’m not talking about the books here). Okay, now what? Where do they go from here? Is a roll in the hay for a roll in the hay’s sake their goal? Sometimes I wonder if it isn’t Henry’s goal simply because he can’t have a real relationship. I mean, he can’t have one with another vampire, and he can only have a limited romantic relationship with a mortal. So, now what? Maybe it’s kind of depressing to me since I want the relationship.
I’ve been pondering this because, well, it’s so much more interesting than thinking about work. 🙂
I’ll talk to you all tomorrow. Night!
Anzia said
From a TV perspective, that’s going to be the either the end or close to it ’cause all the tension between the three characters will be gone. This is assuming TV Vicki doesn’t follow Book Vicki in the events of the third book. That would change things quite a bit and add it’s own tension.
From a purely fan perspective, I think Henry CAN have a relationship it just isn’t going to be a “forever” kind. Vicki will grow older and Henry won’t. There are many ways to keep the tension between the characters. Mike would have to central to every one of them. Unless Henry or Vicki start pulling back as the other one pulls in. But it really depends on how Mike’s character is managed during all of it.
moonbeam2016 said
Himmiefan, in the show if they do the “deed” it will take an element of the tension out of the show that they play on. Naturally, we all expect that there is something happening or should~but the fact that he is going to out live Vicki and she’ll become one of his dear trusted “old friends” someday is really depressing instead of his sweet hot saucy mama
Margaret said
In the books she had a night shift (Henry) and a day shift (Mike) but I don’t think Lifetime would want it to go that way as they would probably think it would make her look slutty, even though a guy could probably get away with it.
lwildstar said
Heres the Fanfic link – be warnded do not read at work – it is not sutle at all -I’ve stopped reading any of thiese because in most cases its bearly veiled porn

Claire: I’m so sorry about your house! I’m not a religious person but I believe in Karma. Unfortunately, the problem with Karma is that it belongs to the person doing the bad deed. Us regular folk rarely get to see it in action but rest assured, he’ll get his.
Ok, having said that I’m not religious, I DO have a VooDoo doll that works quite well. Give me a first name and I’ll give him shin splints for a year! 🙂
Margaret said
If she has a relationship with either one of them on tv the tension will be gone along with the show according to the “tv” types. You always have to have the sexual tension, heck look at how long JAG rode that pony-close to ten years and the only reason we got closure is Don Bellasario knew that closure between the two would sell more DVDS.
Claire, my heart goes out to you. The State of Florida has a statute concerning the Landlord Tenant Act. Don’t know what the equivalent would be in your state. If its an unwriten lease it usually runs for 30 days and he has to give you at least that much time to leave. BUT I AM NOT A LAWYER-if you have friends that know any you might want to check into how long you can stay before he has to legally evict you but I doubt you would want to go that route as I’m sure you have enough stress already. Our local community college has a WENDY program for displaced homemakers that sends them back to school etc.-I realize you don’t need that but if you have a similar program in your state maybe they could help you locate housing. Maybe a church would know of something, one of their parishners, perhaps.
prtfvr said
Episode 13 of Blood Ties, D.O.A premieres on 10/13. FYI.
lwildstar said
Clair – (((HHUUUGGSSS) what an A$$ of a landlord…I don’t know what laws there are where you live but in MD they ahve to give you 30 days notice (and then in the county I live in you get another 30 days to move – every county is different here) but if he’s going by the “non renewal” thing – i would have no clue….
i look at it this way – you are not going down, you are going up. When my room mate moved out of the apartment – the mangement co. said I had to leave because I didn’t make enough money to cover the rent….I found out who the property manager was and called her at work and reamed her out…my name is on all the checks! I yelled, you can’t just throw me out unless I can’t acctually pay the rent, not because I “might not be able to”….and the whole thing was cleared up by the end of the day – six months later I found a house with a mortgage that was half my rent and moved out….
You will be fine, you have the whole Blog family praying for you and sending you all their good vibes!
Chery said
Well all, I am really bummed about the ratings for State of Mind and Side Order of Life.
They were at 2.l million viewers and I think that BT only received l.5 million on a steady basis.
Now having said that, remember that LifeTime produced these shows, they bought BT!
I notice on the link about the new shows ratings, Susanne Daniels went on and on and on about the “sharp writing, acting, etc.” Sounds like a pushback about how we are writing about the great writing etc in BT.
Also, remember, BT wat up against all of the Main stream shows through May sweeps for crying out loud. And LifeTime did not promote the show as much.
When the networks trot out their shows in the fall, Lifte time may not do as well.
Another thought It sounds like LifeTime is building nights around a few shows.
Remember in the interview on Denis’s blog she said they were thinking of building a night around BT. (Saturday it looks like) So I guess I am still optimistic……………….
What do you all think????????
DIZEY1 said
Good morning ya’ll I’m home today I’ve still got that damn bug Angelique put in my Voodoo doll. Mom actaully just made me some noce bland grits w/real butter of course.
Chery, I think we’ll be ok. We also have to realize Susanne Daniels was hired to “RE-VAMP” if you pardon the pun, this network. They were stagnant (sp) and that’s why she’s here now. Look what she did for the WB. I think we need to trust her smarts and let her do her job, cuz’ we don’t know what they’re real thinking is. Sure they’ve done some of their own shows now but I BELIEVE that we have a place in their line up. We’re different and I’ve said that on some of my post cards also, that I like that they took a chance on a show that’s not part of their usual style. These are the shows that will draw new viewers, because women aren’t happy being the victim all the time. A lot of the movies were about abuse of some kind, and sadly based on true events. So I will keep writing my post cards until they say “UNCLE”.
DIZEY1 said
Prtfvr, how’s the bronchitis?? I have a history with it also. Nothing worse than a summer cold etc. It’s so hot and then coming and going in and out of the AC probably creates alot of these problems. All the feathered friends are good I assume also. BTW I loved the new addition to the site. Dylan’s got some funny facial expressions too. Great job as usual. 😉
Margaret said
Heard that phrase: I see dead people? I see Lifetime, it has a bubble machine generating thousands of bubbles…..How many people are writing post cards here and how many? I’ve been writing/mailing 20 per day for the most part. Would be doing more if I had a working printer.
DIZEY1 said
Margaret me tooooooo! My hands killing me. My printer won’t recognize the post cards I guess. My mom tried on my aunts printer and the same thing happened. But yeah I’m sending at least *20* a day. I’m gonna pick up another *100* today and start writing those. My poor mom looked at me last night and said oh please no more ;( I told her it’s ok I’ll do em’ all by myself. I’ll give her a day and she’ll be addressing some for. I love her 😉 🙂 😎
Margaret said
Tell your mom I love her. Maybe we can get Henry to come over and massage her hands after this is all over. lol
lwildstar said
sent 10 cards today – almost out – I only have 20 left – need to go get some more – I’ve been doing AT LEAST 10 a day for a while now.
The blessings on the printer – and a label printer – otherwise I would never have made it this far!
DIZEY1 said
I did my Blood Ties duty went to IMDB, surfed a bit with BT an KYLE etc to try and bring up hits on sites, went and posted at LT we’re still at the top over there. Googled our show and friends also. Let me go finish those 13 pc’s and get to the Post Office to mail and get more 😉 🙂
elizabeth said
Claire – I have to echo the thoughts here about your situation. I am so very sorry your landlord is being such a jerk, but I also have to believe that something better is in the works for you. As parents, we hurt more for our children than for ourselves and I know your grief is magnified by seeing your children be so upset. You are a great Mom and they will be fine as long as you are in their lives. I am winging positive, loving thoughts and wishes your way 🙂
Moonbeam – you and I definately have the same taste when it comes to Henry’s picture by our names. I love the look on his face and the way part of it is in shadow. Yummy 🙂
elizabeth said
lwildstr – my daughter is crazy about my little vamp bat and wants to adopt his sister. Do you have any left?
Laurel said
I’m out here doing my post cards too! Of course I really hit the jackpot when I caught moonbeam in our web. She is probably sending more cards than I am because she is way more computer savey! I am doing all mine by hand while watching episodes, and while waiting for this page to load each time. I think I’d better have a latte to boost my writing speed.
Be right back!
Himmiefan said
Morning everybody!
I love Moonbeams’ sweet hot saucy mama! I just think it’s depressing that Vicki would grow older and Henry wouldn’t. Personally, I’d probably not get into a relationship with him in the first place since it would hurt too much to break it off with him after several years. Little things like this just bug me as a writer. I am sooo glad this isn’t real life, but it makes great TV! Hear that, Lifetime?
A couple of you were talking about looking at things from Lifetime’s perspective. Maybe that’s a great thing to add to our postcards. You know, how paranormal shows seem hot this year and that BT has the strong female as it’s main character – therefore perfect for Lifetime!
Claire – I agree, talk to a lawyer!
Laurel said
Moonbeam – Black Dagger Brotherhood books are by J.R.Ward.
#1 Dark Lover
#2 Lover Eternal
#3 Lover Awakened
#4 Lover Revealed
I hope this gal writes fast because I have almost finished book 4 and I want more!
Aha! The light on the espresso machine now says it is warm enough to make the goods. Thank heavens!
Mini-wheats are poured and ready for my very late breakfast. I guess 9:20 isn’t too bad. I’ve already had to take my husband his cell phone and now I have to turn around and take in his palm-pilot.
DIZEY1 said
Laurel, I’ve had LT’s ep’s running on another window so I can listen while I write to you. I also just emailed Kellog’s about those cute little crunchlettes etc and how I love them while I watch BLOOD TIES !! COOL 😎
DIZEY1 said
Ya’ know it’s sad but I pre-ordered the new books with my gang’s pic’ s on them. I’ll have *2* sets now except for the Smoke Books. I guess I need to order the above Black Dagger Books now too. I’m afraid to read the Blood Books cuz’ I don’t want them to change the way I feel about the show. Has it changed the way anybody else views the series?? 😦
lwildstar said
Elizabeth – yep – I have bats left (two on reserve for Dizey) I sware they are breeding, everytime Ilook at them I think there are more! – just let me know when you send the $ so i can watch for it. i was making a family tree for them – my cousin suggested a family cave – but if everyone comes up with where their bats orginated from (like yours is from Italy) I’ll make a map and connect them.
poor little guys having to stay in the basement day in and day out – i treated them all to Blood Price last night……i have them hanging from the ceiling in my work room…I have to take them down thou – I have contractors coming and I have to get everything out of the way for them……oh well.
I just came back from lunch with Robin – she point blank asked me “what was up with me and Paul” I told her I would like to be more than friends with him, but he is not “receptive” to the idea….I probably shouldn’t have said anything, but shes really easy to talk to, and I just didn’t check my mouth.
Oh well, what can she do – go hit him up side the head and tell him to get a move on? would be nice, but no….I wouldn’t want her too.
Ok must get back to work now.
Margaret said
One of the ladies over at the Lifetime message board is trying to keep a tally of how many post cards we’ve been sending. Please go over to the site, register if you haven’t already and let her know how many you’re sending every day. Thanks.
Remember that Blood Ties has brought us together, remember that it has helped some of us come out of our shells (while others of us should probably go back in-me), remember it’s helped some of us be more confident, and last but not least REMEMBER BLOOD TIES NEEDS US NOW!! ASSUME THE POSITION-Take your printer or pen in hand and keep writing those postcards. Let’s show our appreciation to Blood Ties and try to see that they stay around for a long while.
Laurel said
Dizey – I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who wants the books with the new covers! I am waiting for them to show up at Borders so I can use a coupon or at least get credit for them on my membership there. I read the books after I started watching the show so I don’t really know how much that affected my “inner vision” of the characters. I do know that for me Dylan is very clearly Mike and Kyle is usually Henry, but I apparently play the part of Vicki when I read them. Trust me, that is quite a stretch! 🙂
Margaret – I am sending another dozen cards today. I’ll go over to Lifetime and mention it. 😎
elizabeth said
I also read the books after I started watching the show. It just seemed to add another dimension to what I was seeing on the TV. I guess it helped me understand what the characters might be feeling. I got a clear image of Mike w hen I read and could certainly see Vicki. I struggled a little more with Henry, but after awhile I just visualized Kyle and happily read away.
I’m like you, Laurel, I will wait until Borders has the new covers and then I will buy them. Last time I was in there, they still had the original style cover.
elizabeth said
Oooh, I just made reservations for a 2 hour horseback ride along the beach for Friday! I can’t wait. I’ve ridden mountain trails a lot, but never on the beach 🙂
Himmiefan said
Have fun Elizabeth! Think about those of us stuck at work.
Seriously though, it sounds great!

Afternoon folks!
Wow we have been busy, haven’t we? Jeeze!
I should get my tush in gear and hit the online BT spots and show my support. I’m out of postcards, so those will have to wait until I can go to the store.
Happy Hump Day!

Hey guys. I got my pictures up FINALLY from london & paris. I hope this link works. If not I’ll be shooting off emails to anyone who wants to see ’em. This is not, by any means, all of my pics. They’re just the ones I thought ya’ll might like and came out the best. ^_^

Anzia – your pictures are beautiful. It looks like you had a wonderful time! I particularly enjoyed the gargoyles looking out over the city. Was that in London or Paris?
Anzia said
That was paris. I was on the top walk way in Notre Dame. I have some picture from the very very top of the right most tower… but not put up there. ^_^
Anzia said
Okay, I have to appologise for the HORRIBLE spelling on the picture names. SO SORRY! Espcieally since I’m sure the french isn’t right. *smacks head* that’s what I get for being in a hurry. Sorry guys…
Tango said
Elizabeth – I am so jealous! I hope that you have a fantastic time with the girls this weekend. I must say that horseback riding on the beach is one of my dreams. I hope to accomplish this possibly next year in Cancun, as they don’t allow animals on the beach where our vacation home is. You know we want to hear all about your escapades when you return. You will have to take some pictures and share as Z has.
Anzia – thank you for sharing your pictures of London and Paris. They were absolutely beautiful. Was that you and your father incognito in front of Big Ben? 😎
Did you go on the farris wheel? What a great view you must get up there, I bet you could get some fabulous pictures from those seats. I also enjoyed the gargoyles. Was there one that was smoking or was that his tongue? I have this little gargoyle statue on my desk – he’s sitting with a laptop in his lap just typing away. He looks a lot like the smoking gargoyle.
Anzia said
That was his tongue. Actually, In front of big ben it is my father and step-mother. ^_ ^ I did go on the London Eye (the farris wheel thinger) and I do have pictures from there but I couldn’t remember what exactly all my pictures were supposed to be of (WAY too far away in some cases) so I didn’t put ’em up. 🙂 Same with the ones from the top of Notre Dame. They’re great pics if you want to see how developed the city is but you can’t really pic out any monuments or anything. ^_^
Lady Afrodyte said
Gorgeous pictures Z! I hope that one day I’ll be able to travel.
Tango said
Madonna – sorry for the delay in the thank you department, as I just checked my alternate e-mail address and found the “Fangs 4 More Blood Ties” postcard you sent. You are very talented with the graphic art. I would love to be able to produce something so professional, but that is what you do for a living, so I guess that’s why you make the big bucks, huh!?
vicki said
evening blogkin..
Claire…My prayers are with you and my curses with the landlord.. Do you have anyway to get a break with him. I know in my state single mothers can sometimes get a discount for rent adn stuff…I dont know where you are,but it might be something to check into..
I know a girl I used to work with only had to pay 7 dollars a day for daycare because she was a single mom.. i wish I could have only paid that! LOL..but I dont think I will give up the husband to get it.
Anyway…I will be sending out 10 more postcards tomorrow, I think that makes my total only 30,,,,((hangs head in shame))) I will attempt to do better.
Summer is not what it used ot be….I have the kids in swimming lessons..I am working on my schools website…I admit that I have been lazy though,,,,I only do laundry when someone runs out of underwear.
HEHEHEH
lwildstar said
Work sucked today – I made a bunch of mistakes (all about learning the job) but I felt so stupid…sigh…but at least lunch with Robin cheered me up. I’m off to study for a “test” at work tomorrow.
but I just wanted to tell you something – do you remember the icedent two weeks ago with the mooing boys on the bus? Anny way coming home from the allergist that very same transit worker who shut them up was on the bus. So I politly asked her “I don’t know if you remember the rude mooing boys from a couple weeks ago, but I really have to know what you said to them…I mean they were quiet as two church mice” she smiled brillantly at me and said “well hun’ I simply told them that when they said things like tht they were not only insulting every woman around them, but their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousin and every woman down the line and if they didn’t stop I was going to remove their (>>>>)’s so that they could not reproduce more (>>>>)’s like themselves.” I almost pee’d myself laughing. Now if I had been one of those boys I would have taken her seriously, this lovely lady is at least 6’2″ maybe 230-240 lbs… with an up front attitude I love!
Elizabeth – yep – I have bats left
Himmiefan said
Hey Vicki – do not hang your head in shame. Thirty is good! We do have real life to do, you know.
Prtfvr – I love chapter 7! Mike dresses for his flashback, and wonders why he wouldn’t be Henry’s type! Cute!
Anzia – I love the photos! I wanna go back, I wanna go back…..
Himmiefan said
Lwildstar – good for her!!
DIZEY1 said
**Z** les photographies sont très belles. I showed them to my mom and she thought the same and is very jealous. London’s Tower Bridge very cool and I did love the gargoyles. Lucky girl 😉
I laid down a while ago and fell into that wierd kind of sluggish stupor (sp). Well I’ll go do some pc’s I think I’ll try and wrangle my little drummer brother Eric also artsy talented too into doing some post cards with mom and I. He’s the one who keeps complaining that I keep watching the same ep’s over and over and over……… This way 2 birds one stone/post card HA HA!! 🙂 😛
vicki said
Thanks Himmfan…I feel better now..
This week has been rough…not on the same scale as others here..but I did finish the new Harry P book..Cried my eyes out!! so the next day I had a headache that would NOT go away. (i never get headaches!)
of course my children decided THAT day was the day they would try to kill each other and fight and yell all day. LOL
And of course I am DMS ing and I ran out of dark chocolate..good thing I dont own any firearms….LOL But dont worry I got my dark chocolate today..and I feel much better..
Anyone else reading Harry>>>???
lwildstar said
oh just had a chance to check out the new covers for The Blood Books
Blood Price is the flame trower scence form Heart of Ice
Blood Trail is a promo shot of Henry and Vicki (one of my favs)
Blood Lines is Episode 9 – damn can’t remeber the tilte – but the picture is of Vicki with the sword
Blood Pact is a promo shot of Vicki
and Blood Debt is a promo shot of the “trio”.
Ok must go study so I can get some fun reading in before bed tonight!
May or may not be here tomorrow….
elizabeth said
lwildstr – I know my daughter will be thrilled about the bat. I will email you when I get the money in the mail. thank you 🙂 I’m glad you asked the lady on the bus what she said – what a hoot! Maybe those little punks will think twice before they decide to be unkind.
elizabeth said
Oh, I forgot to tell you – my daughter has picked out a name for her Vamp. Vampiro della Luna. She’s the sister of mine – hehehe- or, at least, that is was Krysten informed me this morning.
elizabeth said
oops – that should have said “what Krysten informed me” not was. Long day….
Laurel said
Vicki I totally relate to the laundry issue. Today is laundry day for my house because I’m the one who is running out of underwear. I just don’t go for the dark undies beneath the white shorts/slacks/skirts look. TMI if you ask me.
I have not finished Harry Potter yet. Only up to chapter 22 but loving it so far. 🙂
I guess I’m not in a hurry to finish it because I know there won’t be another one to wait for.
Meanwhile I finished with the Brotherhood books until the next one comes out in September. Man, I hate waiting for it but I may actually get something done if I stay away from them for a while.
moonbeam said
Iwildstar- Thanks for the story. I’m saving it for future use!
Anzia- Love those pictures, I’d even give that ferris wheel a try and I get pretty spooked on them. I like a good fast & STRAPPED IN ride , but a ferris wheel always seems too loose and free for me, especially if your partner is swinging the seat.
I hope I get to see those gargoyles someday too.
I got more cards done today, after a very long Dr. appt. with my mom ( a miracle that she allowed me to accompany her) Tomorrow, another with a boy of mine.
Going to the library to check for the books~ thanks Laurel~ Think I’ll check on-line to see if they have them first!
Vicki- Still in line to get my hands on Harry in my house!
Elizabeth- (You’re right, we do have the same taste. I decided he was the one I wanted before I started and then couldn’t get it to work and ended up going through the back door to get him) After lots of techno trouble, I finally went to your pic and took your “Henry” Thanks for sharing!
Off to print more labels

Hmm. . . Library doesn’t have everything. . .enough to get me in the car and heading over there

Elizabeth..its worth the wait..but the library in you area should have some copies…give it a try..
I couldnt stop reading it, I got it Sat morning and I finished it by Monday evening. (thats with kids..church…dinner out..etc.)
Lost some sleep, but well worth it.

DIZ: I haven’t had bronchitis in about 10 years. Got me an antibiotic – it’s still in the package. I can’t decide whether having an attack of ulcerative colitis is worth taking them. My doc said I could wait a couple of days to see if I felt better so I’m waiting…I think I’m getting better (All hail Monty Python and the Holy Grail).
Laurel said
elizabeth and gypsy – I really need to introduce you to moonbeam. If we can get something set up for a weekend day…? Or maybe we will have to just hope for a spure of the moment meeting next time moonbeam is in town. It looks like none of you are going to the quilt show with me and my folks on Saturday. 😦 Oh well, I will go and take some pictures.
Anzia I am still trying to get a look at some of your pics from the trip. I can hardly wait to see them!
prtfvr – I hope you are feeling much better without having to resort to the antibiotics. They can sure play hell with a body’s systems. I try not to take them either. I’m still keeping you in my prayers.
moonbeam2016 said
aha, just got all of the “smoke” books from the library. It looks like I might get another bit of a Henry fix in between postcards and on the vacation road!
Madonna said
Good evening everyone,
prtfvr,
Hope you are feeling better soon!!!!!
lwildstar,
I just love what that transit worker told those boys!
Rifkind,
Claire,
How are you ladies holding up? ((((((((HUGS))))))))) to you both.
Claire,
Your landlord sounds like an ass. I’m sure this will be the hardest on your kids but kids are usually pretty resilient so hopefully they’ll manage OK! As for you, maybe this is God’s not so gentle way of telling you that it is time to get away from those snotty women in your neighborhood. Maybe wherever you relocate you’ll find some good adult companionship.
Tango,
Thank you for the compliment. As Rifkind told wrote to me we all have to do whatever we can to save our show. As for Big Bucks….. what/who is that? They told us in college we’d meet him, but I’ve yet to see hide nor hair yet.
Anzia said
I’m a bit scared of heights. Not all the time but sometimes there’s just SOMETHING that spooks me. Like, the London Eye… VERY VERY High up. The pic of Parliment is from going down on the opposite side. I glanced down once and about had a panic attack. The ENTIRE capsul is glass (or plastic) except the bottom, the bench and the supporting beams that create the structure. AHHH! I wouldn’t go near the windows. Totally freaked me out. Now, at the top of Notre Dame I had no problem. ^_ ^ I did kind of freak when I went to the top of the Eiffle Tower. Mostely because it was really windy and you could (or at least I imagined I could) feel the structure sway.
moonbeam2016 said
Elizabeth, just chatted with Laurel and she explained “who” you are ~ had lunch together~know Aunt Winnie etc. . .small world
Have big fun riding on the beach. I love the beach. . . I’m going to go to the quilt show after all!

>> DIZ: I haven’t had bronchitis in about 10 years. Got me an antibiotic – it’s still in the package. I can’t decide whether having an attack of ulcerative colitis is worth taking them.
ulcers of anything.. not worth it 😉
my preventative and healing remedy = vitamin C and Zinc
Preferably chewable C’s (my mom and sister recommend about 2000 mg daily).
I break my doses down to 3 times a day with the C’s.. and take with juice –NOT water.
for some reason, the “water” just pushes the vitamins C and B’s right on out, instead of them getting absorbed into the body. That’s what the vitamin book says.. I found out years after I had been taking both with water, and not feeling like they were working at all. Now, they work.
Amazing!

>> Hey Vicki – do not hang your head in shame. Thirty is good! We do have real life to do, you know.
just thirty?? wait til 50 rounds the corner.. seems like yesterdays were forever.
LOL!
When I was younger I used to wonder what getting older into those “middle-aged” years were going to be like. I couldn’t imagine it, because I was in school and hated school, regardless of my grades (A’s and B’s level). wondered back then about getting older and living life all over again – retaining the knowledge of our former entire life’s years, to prevent making the same mistakes over and over again..
I guess that’s what inspired me to become interested in time traveling Tv shows..
*g* 😀
vicki,
>> This week has been rough…not on the same scale as others here..but I did finish the new Harry P book..Cried my eyes out!!
I heard DOCTOR WHO read the last ((the 7th Harry Potter)) book and he said it was very sad.. so the rumors MUST be true about the sadness (that was the ep that gave a surprise *tribute* to J.K.R.). 😉
Anzia said
okay, for the record. I might not get the new portion up tonight. My computer is getting some fixin’ done… if it gets done in time… no prob… but I’m not sure.

Just a thought before I go to bed.
I’ll bet the United States Postal service is raking in a tidy profit from Blood Ties.
Well goodnight all…….

I just LOVE the new chapters~

Too funny!
Rifkind said
Madonna –
Thanks for the hugs. You gals are SO good for me!
Thanks for being my Blood Ties Family!
Everyday I can find something fun here and between all the great writing, I find myself smiling.. 🙂 🙂
DIZEY1 said
PRTFVR, OMG you are so damn funny. I just loved chap 8 hysterical. Is that a sword in your pocket?? 🙂 LMAO 😉
Madonna thanks for the postcard and yes you are a professional. WOW I wish I could do that. Oh and my mom went and picked up the last 100 postcards my Post Office had and she said the woman had to count them out to see how many were left. Postcards are a hot commodity right now.
Well ya’ll going to jump in my jet tub and relax after writing all those cards out and then to meet Henry in bed. Feeding time again you know and it’s good for both of us.
Reves doux d’Henri XOXOXOX Beth Luv ya’ll my Blood Sisters 😉 🙂 😎
Anzia said
prtfvr- OM! That’s GREAT! I love the “kiss your ball” OMG! SO GREAT!
Rifkind- I love ya hon! (((HUGS)))
Claire- I love you too my adopted mom. I hope everything is a little better today. (((HUGS!))) *whispers* I’m sending you some extra special chocolate chains and blow henry pops. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG lasting ones.
Tango said
prfvr – very clever as always. I love how since you couldn’t produce wavy lines, you just made us imagine them LOL! And what doe you mean there’s only two more chapters! If you thought Henry did protest too much, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet sista! October is too far away for there to be just two chapters left. Please reconsider! (gets down on her knees, folds her hands in true begging fashion)
prtfvr said
Tango: I meant two chapters left to the I’m Not Gay Story. Next chapter is Henry flashing on all the things that prove he’s not gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉
Tango said
Good night Beth – sleep well!
Rifkind said
Dr. DuChat.
What was the password again.. my brain is tired and fried and I can’t remember ..
It looks like I am MANY chapters behind in my reading 🙂
Tango said
prtfvr: whew! I guess I can get up off the floor now. Did find some change under the couch while I was down there though. 🙂 I get really antcy when I don’t have new Henry each week. For the sake of all that is good and pure –
IS IT OCTOBER YET?!!!! Criminy! Would someone please run to the infirmary and fetch me a tranquilizer before they come with the straight jacket? *-*
prtfvr said
Tango: You’re a mess! LOL!
I’m afraid that October will get here, they’ll show the eps they bought and then cut it loose!! This show’s gonna give me an ulcer, I swear!
prtfvr said
Alisa: Thanks for the advice! I don’t think I can take one more pill though. I take about 10 a day already. No lie! And I’m supposed to be taking 16 but I just can’t do it!
Tango said
prtfvr: Bite your tongue! Or I’ll have Henry come over and do it! 😉 It sounds like you need to dream…
In the imortal words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “I have a dream…”
I have a dream that my TIVO actually recognizes that there is a Blood Ties epi within the next two weeks.
I have a dream that I see enough BT commercials during the week that I am not going through DTs. DTs for BT – not good 😦
I have a dream that I am trying to figure out next week’s story line from the previous week’s teaser previews.
I have a dream that I have something exciting and sexy (besides my hubby) to look forward to on the weekends.
I have a dream that I am so excited to talk to my fellow bloggers about what I just watched that I am staying up waaaaaay past my bedtime due to excitement about the show.
I have a dream that I am “turning” people left and right because they were able to tune in on the weekend or see the commercials throughout the week and I wasn’t concerned about were they on dial up or dsl.
Do you have a dream?
I posted this over at LT board, but it seemed like you needed a little pick me up.
prtfvr said
Oh, don’t worry. If you send Henry over, I’ll pick us both up! 🙂
Tango said
Red rover, red rover, Henry will be right over! 🙂
Rifkind said

>> Alisa: Thanks for the advice! I don’t think I can take one more pill though. I take about 10 a day already. No lie! And I’m supposed to be taking 16 but I just can’t do it!
During that water fiasco discovery, I also learned that I can’t take my B-vitamins in one pill. Otherwise, I end up getting too much B-1 and B-2 (more than I need). So, I have to take ALL of my B-combo supplements separately.
And I can’t take Vitamin A, either. I ended up getting vitamintosis from that (toxicity from too much A .. it thinned my skin to red-raw, right in the thighs area, too! Did wonders being able to stay home for that time frame and not having to wear pantyhose for 2 weeks, let alone wear much of anything else!).
So, now I have to avoid ALL multi-vitamins and take each one separately. I totaled them all up to about 13 vitamins in one sitting. I think I’ve cut down that number and managed to spread them out a little at other meals. But now I have to also take iso-flavinoid vitamins too to control those *OMG!!* HOT flashes; and add Caltrate and another 2 (MSM, Glucosamine/Chrondrotin) for stabilizing the cartilage in my spine (for a degenerative cartilage condition). 😦
Fish oil Omega-3’s look like horse-pills, but so do the pantothenic acid ones that come in 250 mg and have to be broken in half, because the whole pills in one meal sitting is too much to absorb with my body’s petite size (slightly higher than 5 feet tall, less than 120 pounds average with clothes!). 😉
Anzia said
Wow you guys are really in need of some Henry. I almost feel bad with doing what I’m going to do to you guys. ^_^ I’m warning you now 2 things. 1) The next segment WILL be up by tomorrow morning when ya’ll go to work but it WILL not be like the other two segments and probably CAN be read at work and 2) it is NOT the last segment. I just had a perfectly delightful idea as to what to do and it would be way too long to change everything that needs changing. I’ll work on it tomorrow and hopefully have the fourth part up by friday. ^_^
I just wanted to warn people now… so… yeah…

Hey Susana! ^_^ I’m glad you’re still here. Good luck with the business and such. ^_^ My writing.com portfolio is at this link: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/user_id/storyndreams All the BT stuff is obvious by the title. ^_^
Laurel said
Susana!! Thanks for checking in! We are always glad to have you show up. Sounds like you will have plenty going on next month, but be sure you take care of yourself. Don’t let yourself get too run down at the beginning because it is way too hard to catch up later.
We’ll keep some good thoughts headed your way.
Good night my sisters!
Anzia said
Okay, part 3 is up ladies! Here’s the link http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1296872
Enjoy. I still think you should be okay if you read it at work but be warned about what happens towards the end. I can’t wait for ya’ll to get part four. If you guys love that part as much as I am loving writing it… Oh my! ^_^
Margaret said
Anzia: I never knew that looking for keys could be that steamy.
WELL DONE!!!
And yes, people should definitely NOT read this at work but your writing is so great who can wait until they get home. lol
Margaret said
Anzia: It was soo good I had to read it one more time before I left for work. You got talent!!

talk to you tonight!
Annalaise duChat said
Good Morning All!
Whew! Between being on deadline at work and writing until 2:00am the last several nights I’m pretty exhausted. I went home last night, fixed dinner, cleaned up and crashed in a big way. I know I shouldn’t be abusing myself like this but when I get rolling I can’t stop. I’ve got to get it all down while I can.
Rifkind – sorry I didn’t see your post yesterday. I’m assuming you found it OK but Just in case its :http://annalaiseduchat.wordpress.com/ Password: dreamcatcher. I hope you like what I’ve done, let me know what you think. The stuff I wrote Tuesday needs to be reworked a bit before I post it so I’m a day behind. Things are really starting to get intense.
Thanks for your support.
msgypsy said
Good morning, blog fambly. I was at rehearsal until after 10 PM. We’re now rehearsing twice per week, but it all seems so pointless as we’ve lost our expected performance venue. The event we were going to perform this at was just too packed with other things for us to fit into the schedule. We may have to create an event for ourselves, and that’ll take even more time since there are only 9 of us, and 2 of them are leaving at the end of August. (She’s going to nursing school on the south coast of Oregon and since they’re Macbeth and Lady M we face a challenge…)
So I won’t be around much for a while. But I do check in every morning, so hopefully you won’t all need to scream in panic when the topic gets too post-heavy. And I’ll check in any evening I’m home.
Be good and keep thinking all those Henry positive thoughts! (Or Mike positive, like me, although I’m actually more thinking Blood Ties positive in general.)
vampgrl said
Hey guys. Just wanted to swing by real quick and say that I did read Anzia’s new part to the Vicki/Henry food scene…and yes I did read it at work. 🙂 I especially like the part on the end when Vicki goes back in and jumps Henry behind the couch. All I gotta say is…YOU GO GIRL! About damn time! What took you so long?! I would’ve jumped him WAY before that. *g* But DUDE! That was HOT! And I liked the additional chapters to the not gay story. Too cute. We have to have more stories like that on there. The pics match the words almost too perfectly…hehe
Oh! How you like my new piccy? 🙂
vampgrl said
grrrr…never mind…pic didn’t work
vampgrl said
trying again….
vampgrl said
Aaaahhh…that’s better…now…how you like my pic?

Good morning still got a little bit of that Voodoo bug in me!! Can’t wait till that sucker leaves me alone.

**Z** my wonderful story teller. I loved this addition, keep em’ coming PLEASE!! The keys oh yeah baby ! And he can invade my personal space 24-7-365 😉 Love her jumping him YES! YES! YES!!!! 🙂 😛
Vampgrl… Love Emanuelle great pic 😉
Himmiefan said
Prtfvr – how hilarious!! I love it! 🙂
You know, something about the melting hands picture I, um (clears throat), um, never noticed before…..
Anzia- girl, I know better than to read your stuff at work. I’ll check it out when I get home tonight. I’ll bet it’s good!

Himmiefan said
Oh Dizey – groan…. 🙂
Loves History – good to hear from you! Hope everything is going well!
Folks, I have a Harry Potter hangover (sleep deprevation from staying up waaay to late to finish the book).
DIZEY1 said
While you’re there get some good BBQ if you can eat that. My brother’s friend lives there and my bro. went to see him last month. Eric (brother) loves it up there. My best friend Melanie’s brother and uncle & wife lived there for a few years and they loved it also.
Anzia said
Well I’m glad that ya’ll seemed to like it. ^_^ If you thought the keys were hott…wow, ya’ll combust in the next part. ^_^ Although, I’m not sure if it’s the end. Seriously, at the rate it’s going it’ll NEVER end! Wahh!
^_^
elizabeth said
LH – Glad to hear you are okay. Keep us posted; you know we care a great deal about you!
Moonbeam- I think Laurel’s idea about all of us getting together is terrific! I will be out of town part of August, but maybe we can all plan to meet after the 20th sometime? It would be so much fun 🙂
Laurel – have you thought much about lunch next week? You pick a time and place since I know you are involved with your art class.
Prtfvr – I am running out of ways to tell you how much I enjoy your whole web page. It definately makes me smile and I often pop in during the day when things are tense at work for a little Henry R&R.
Anzia – I had to check out your newest chapter even though you had a warning about reading it at work 😉 Loved it! I soooo want Henry to invade my personal space. Okay, need to wipe the dreamy smile off my face – not professional …. drat…too hard to do……must think of something work related *yeah, like that is gonna work!*
Tango said
AN UPDATE ON CLAIRE: This is a reply to something I sent her – she asked me to keep everyone updated.
“Tango…Thank you so much…. I’m just at my wits end. He has given me until Aug 24th to pack up and leave…I am on 4 hours sleep since Tuesday…all I do is look online for houses and I can’t find anything…he said by law since he gave me 30 days notice…he can put me out in the street if I don’t get out! I don’t have time to go on the blog, please update everyone…I need all the good thoughts I can get.”
Please continue to keep Claire in your thoughts and prayers.
Z – Wowie! Zowie! 🙂 😎 🙂 😎 You’ve got me reved up girlfriend! I can’t wait for the next part. It will be hard to concentrate on my continuing education (CE) (boring money laundering and securities crap) that I now have to drag myself into my office to do. I knew I should have waited until after so that it could’ve been my reward for finishing. (hits herself on the forhead with the palm of her hand)
Vampgirl – Bravo on the picture – 3 gorgeous men in 1 shot. Well done!
Annalaise – I must say, I too burn the candle at both ends. I feel that it is living life to the fullest. I know it is probably not the healthiest lifestyle, as you can never really make up for the missed sleep, but I can’t imagine living life any other way. I can’t wait to read what you have linked here. I will do that this evening once I have completed my conintuing education courses. This will be my reward for finishing my CE.
Gypsy – I do hope that you get something on youtube for us to see. It sounds like it will be histerical. And I hope that you find another venue soon before your fellow thesbians have to leave.
LH – welcome to the Heart of Dixie, the Dirty South, the Land of Humidity! I hope this will be a successful trip for you. I agree with Dizey – make sure you get some of the South’s BBQ, it’s the best down here.
Voodoo Bug – GET OUT OF DIZEY!
Diz – hope that helps! I also agree with you about the personal space issue with Henry. As far as I’m concerned, he can be permenantly attached sniffing my neck and other pleasurable nicities 24/7.
DIZEY1 said
Tango thanx I hope your little hex drives that sucker away!! Thanx also for the update on Claire , I just seconds before coming back here sent her an email just to make sure she was ok, and to let her know we are here for her. There’s got to be something someone can do for them. I find it hard to believe that what he’s doing can be legal. I’ll pray for her and try to think of something she can do. God Bless her and her family.
lwildstar said
i only scored 60% on the assesment test today – but then again I’ve only been learning the new stuff for a couple of weeks – I really don’t know what the point of this was so soon…oh well
LH & Clair – you are in my prayers!
Anzia – if asked I am going to blam my low score on your story! hahahahah!
I have completly reworked the begining of my Henry&Vicki short, so its been like starting over.
I started chapter 8 of my story.
and I have printing postcards like crazy and I am down to my last 20 – ordered 100 more online.
couldn’t mangae more thatn tw chapters of HP last night – I was just too tired after studing!
Well lunch is over so I’ll try to hollar at you tonight.
take care everyone!
Tango said
Oh Susana! (Oh don’t you cry for me, cause I come from Alabama with me on Henry’s knee) I don’t own a banjo 😉
So glad you popped in! All this talk about catering and remembering some of the dishes you spoke of earlier that your brother prepares really makes me want to hop on a plane and show up to yours or your brother’s house for dinner. It being lunch time doesn’t help either. You’ll have to tell us the recipe of Safari punch, sounds interesting. I would tell you to slow down, but at this point that would be hipocritical of me. When you go full time, is that is nursing or catering?
prfvr – hope you are feeling better today. I know the ol’ upper respiratory problems can really wipe a you out. Although I must say it hasn’t slowed you down in your comic writing thank God! I am still laughing about what you wrote last night!
moonbeam2016 said
Anzia – I wouldn’t mind losing my keys near as much as I do if the search for them were as incredible as Vicki’s/Henry (Heck, I’d lose them on purpose for that bit of invasion. . . sigh)
Elizabeth – The week of the 20th, I have teacher workshops except for 22nd & 23rd or the weekend. After that, it’s back to school full-time all day everyday!
I’ll zip up to P-land for some fun and spoiling at Laurel’s if we can make it happen that week!
Tango said
lwildstar – you take the cake for the typo prize of the week.
“I was just too tired after studing!” Oh the images that came to mind! 😉
That was as good as Birthday Weed!
Am I to assume that Henry was the stud you were referring to? Or Paul?
elizabeth said
Moonbeam – I vote for a weekend if that works for Laurel? Otherwise, I could only visit for a short time during the week because I would have to get back to work. Where has the summer gone? Here it is almost August and I haven’t even reconciled myself to it yet *sigh*
For any of you that have Claire’s email – please let her know that I am thinking of her. At times like these – I wish we all were a little closer in proximity so that we could be there to help.
Tango said
Elizabeth – I know what you mean, I would love to help out more with Claire’s situation. It’s amazing how close we’ve all binded toghether, and I am sure if one of us were close by we’d be there in a minute. I think it’s great how you have several people in your area and are able to get together. Hopefully when I get my sister in Portland in the loop, she may be joining you guys for lunch at times as well.
I will pass along your well wishes, and have already told her of the lovefest that is going on.
I recommended to her to check out to see if there is a service in her area that helps people find homes and or appts to rent (much like a realator does). It is a free service here in Birmingham. Maybe this will help take some of the stress off.
moonbeam2016 said
It is so frightful to think about what is happening to Claire! It makes one feel very impotent (perhaps we can attach that to the voodoo doll, too) I don’t even bring home that much $$$ I don’t know how someone brings it in for rent alone
Elizabeth – either side of the weekends before Mon 20th or after is good for me. Husband is leaving for Burning Man the weekend of 25th, I think. My Gus is always anxious to get up there to be with the cousins. We’ll see how things fit for Laurel. . . Otherwise, it’ll happen sometime!
elizabeth said
Tango – Has Claire checked with the United Way? I know they work a lot with single parents to help them get settled. I don’t know if she is involved with a Church, but I do know they often have resources available to help as well.
I hope we get to add your sister to our growing “group” here in Oregon. The more the merrier 🙂
Moonbeam – I am totally open the weekend of the 25th and 26th of August.
Hey Laurel/msgypsy – does that work for you guys?
Margaret said
Claire should check with the Clerk of the Court (or whatever the equivalent is up there) to see what legal papers have to be filed against her. In Florida, I believe it has to be in writing, sent by certified mail, I could be wrong so don’t take it as gospel. Maybe legal aid up there could help?
moonbeam2016 said
I’m with Margaret! It just seems that Claire should have some legal resources backing her up against a money-grubbing landlord! Maybe legal aid. She might have to still move, but the next person might not get the same shaft. Somehow, it just seems that the landlord is taking advantage of Claire and her situation (from my very new and limited perspective)

Well I’m glad that ya’ll seemed to like it. ^_^ If you thought the keys were hott…wow, ya’ll combust in the next part. ^_^ Although, I’m not sure if it’s the end. Seriously, at the rate it’s going it’ll NEVER end! Wahh!
^_^
Well that’s good. Who says we want it to end? MOREMOREMORE!!! And I have a confession to make. I never got your post about the 3rd part being up. I have that link saved to my fav places and keep checking up on it. Same with Henry’sHens. Those can keep going too. My all time fav is still The Dance for some odd reason. We really need a sequel to that one. 😉
I don’t have the link for Henry’sHens saved on my pc at home, but it’s a really easy name to remember. Heh. And I swear, if I don’t get the time to finish Lady A’s novel up to where she is now, I’m just gonna print it tomorrow and take it home with me. I am SO tired of not getting past chapter 8…formerly known as Chapter 7 continued. 😦 Still love the story so far though. Hey! If you ever happen to get it published, I’d be one of the first to grab it up. *g* It’s nice to read something new every now and then. I kinda got tired of reading BT fanfics for the moment. Fanfics seem to get old after a while. Or maybe that’s just me. No clue…hehe…
Glad you guys liked my pic. I wasn’t really looking for that one in particular, it just kinda jumped out at me…hehe
Tango said
Elizabeth, I’m not sure about United Way. I wasn’t aware that they were involved in such things. I will pass the information along. As for church, I don’t recall her mentioning it, but I am sure if that is the case that she probably is utilizing that.
lwildstar said
Tango – what did I win? oh trust me the “studing” would have been MUCh more fun than “studying”!
I really can’t type when my brain is tired. My mother fusses at me all the time about how bad my grammar is when I send her emails – not to mention the typos!
But hey – I’m good for a laugh!
lwildstar said
For Claire – i don’t know if this is any good or not, but I mentioned to one of the ladies here at work who is a single mom with a child who had some problems after her divorce…she suggested to look here for info
http://www.singlemom.com/HOUSING/Housing.HTM
hope you find something helpful – if only an agancy you can contact.
msgypsy said
Real quick drive-by posting. What state does Claire live in (yeah, memory like an elephant. The extinct kind…) Some states have hotlines to assist people in just that situation.
Also, most states have a set up that if you dial 2-1-1 you get connected to a referral service for social services and she certainly qualifies for their assistance. In NW Oregon, the 2-1-1 service has been excellent. Some places not so much. But it’s well worth the try.
Back to the grind now. Later, bloggren.

Lady A, thanks so much for the link. Way cool girls she got the goody. I just love this woman. Tanya you rock!!! 🙂 Can’t wait till OCTOBER 😉
Laurel said
I will check with my husband about Aug 25-26. I was supposed to be in Ashland with the Girl Scouts, but forgot to send in my order for tickets. Now I just have to admit it to Sarah. 😦 I suspect that weekend will work for me. I will confirm that when I figure it out for sure.
Elizabeth next Friday would be fine for lunch but would be easier if we could start a little later than noon. Even 12:15 would be better if possible but if not I will simply go back to pack up my stuff after lunch. btw – Have fun with your weekend at the beach. 😎

Looks like Tanya was please with her gift. Good going guys! 🙂

Thanks Lady A for the link – that makes my day so much better! Its great to know she really got it and really appreciated it!

hIMmfan…let me know…if you like the Harry P. ending..I think you and I are the only ones here who have finished it. take a nap and get back to me. LOL
I had a good morning..my daughter FINALLY jumped off the diving board all by herself. She is taking swimming lessons and so far they have had to push or throw her off. (I know that sounds terrible,,,but these guys and girls are great!!) My husband has been calling it swimming “boot camp” HEHEHE
I am so proud of her…and my son is just a fish..he has been jumping on his own from day one!!
Sorry I am having a proud mommy moment.
Check back with you guys later

DIZEY1 said
Lady A, it made perrrrfect sense to me. Hey can you make me a pic of Henry and call it “THUMP DAY” I’d love that 😉 😎 THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP, I call Briscoe ! I just love that ep, and that was our girl Tanya’s ep too.
Lady Afrodyte said
I’ll work on that pic right after I finish watching Bad JuJu
DIZEY1 said
Call me **CRAZY** but I’ve got a warm and fuzzy feeling right now. I’m a little bit psycho and I’ve just got a good feeling. Maybe something good’s coming down the pike. You know sometimes you’ve gotta trust your instincts. Maybe it’s that Hex Tango put on my Voodoo bug, but I just feel GOOD and wanna pass it along. 😉 🙂 😎
DIZEY1 said
OOh thanx you Rock Lady A 🙂
moonbeam2016 said
Awesome bookmark, thanks for sharing
Margaret said
Dizey: Actually I typed the letter to an unnamed actor and printed it on an unnamed printer (obviously not at home because it wasn’t working back then, back then being May 21st to be exact). Actually I think I WON’T be getting anything back as the people at the post office sabatoged me by possibly putting the wrong postage on it, even after I asked for an international coupon for the return.
Margaret said
When did they go on hiatus? How are you feeling Dizey1? How’s your dad?
elizabeth said
Dizey – if you are crazy then I am standing right next to you. I am having a marvelous day myself – all warm and fuzzy and there is absolutly no reason that I should be feeling this over the top happy. Good things are definately on the way 🙂 We must be dialed into the same ESPN station 😉
Laurel – next Friday works for me and I am absolutely open on the time, so 12:15 will be fine – we can meet later if you need a little extra time. let me know where you want to have lunch.
Vicki – yea! for your daughter. I love having proud Momma moments and hearing about others, ya know? Seeing our kids accomplish something they have been struggling with is such a good feeling, isn’t it?
DIZEY1 said
I’m actually feeling a little better this afternoon. It could have something to do with the hot ham and swiss po-boy and the fries I ate. I was so hungry since I hadn’t eaten too much the last 3 days I scarfed it down. My pop’s doing ok still has the IV antibiotics going till he sees his Dr. I’m not sure when the next appt. is but that will be the final decision on the foot and some of the leg. Still holding out for a miracle and maybe he’ll keep it a little longer. God’s holding all the cards so whatever he says we’ll do. Thanks for asking.
They went on hiatus sometime around end of May maybe. I’m trying to remember when Kyle did his pod cast and that wasn’t long after they went on Hiatus.
Lady Afrodyte said
Here you go Dizey.
DIZEY1 said
Thanks Lady A, too cool 😉 I just love that DUDE and his sweet thumpin’ heart.
Or as we southerners would say ” Bless his heart” and your too 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
🙂
I have fun playing with photoshop. It gives me something to do during the boring afternoons.
Himmiefan said
Vicki – I agree with what a reviewer said about the ending: it’s really the only ending it could have. The last battle (no spoilers here since everyone knows there are battles between the good guys and the bad guys) and the epilogue are awesome! Now, she wrote the epilogue years ago, so wording-wise, I didn’t think it flowed as well as the rest of the book, but content-wise, it was great.
What did you think?
By the way, my mother started her book last night, so now I get to torture her and say that I know how it ends. 🙂
DIZEY1 said
Oh and that lovely chest you chose a good pic for it too. Oh yes the ORDER OF THE YUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
Lady Afrodyte said
🙂 I just want to lay next to him and play with his chest. It’s so inviting.
DIZEY1 said
Oh yeah me too. I don’t think the fiance’ will approve though huh???
Oh and the six pack ab’s just……what can I say about those. It brings back to mind the sexy swagger when he was going to munch on the madd monk!! God I love that scene. YUMMY !!!!
Himmiefan said
Uh huh, you got that right. Yum!
Lady Afrodyte said
The fiancé would be a bit miffed, but I think he’d understand. It’s not like I want to jump the poor guy and grind him into the ground. I just want to cuddle and play with his chest.
Gods I sounds weird today.
Margaret said
Ok, Dizey was I sleeping at the wheel. Has Kyle’s girlfriend turned into a fiance and where was I when this happened or are you talking about Lady A?
Lady Afrodyte said
Me! I’m the one with the Fiancé.
Margaret said
Forgive the momentary lapse. I’ll crawl back into my obsessed hole.
Lady Afrodyte said
lol it’s ok. I had a few moments today where I’ve just drawn total blanks.
I blame the heat.

Lady A – love the picture, as you can tell from my avatar. So is Thursday Thump Day now? I love it!

lwildstar – your prize ? Cake, as in you took the cake. I am sending it to you now, be careful unpacking it as there may be someone jumping out of the top for you 😉 It all goes back to the studing comment ya know. I know what you mean about the studying as I have been sentenced to studying for my CE, which is so long and drawn out. I’ve completed two parts and have the longest one to complete. Argggggggggggggggggg! I am such a procrastinator!
TO ALL THE IPOD USERS:
FYI
I just did my updates yesterday and had something strange happen, it wiped everything off my ipod and I had to download it all again. Had to go into settings and change the settings back to sync all the movies, tv shows, video, and music b/c at first it was only doing about 190 of the 750+ items. Thank God they were still on my computer via itunes. I was about to have a heart attack.
Dani said
lwildstar-I got HMV Fangs sister yesterday. I have named her Calpurnia Headbanger.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Dani girl , we missed you this week. Glad to hear from you, has it been a good week off?
Tango yes it’s official Thursday is THUMP DAY 😉 Woo hoo bring on thumper. I may have to go watch that one now since I’m home. Get me some of that FINE HUNK of VAMPIRE !
Iwildstar, I promise I will put the money in the mail tomorrow for the Bat Babies. I so love that Tanya actually got the bookmark. Way COOL 😎 😛
Dani said
I just read Tanya’s comment on the book mark. That was sweet and when I say sweet I mean totally wicked.
Dizey it has been an awesome week. I have been so busy it is hard to believe that is only Thursday. Tomorrow is aquarium day.
DIZEY1 said
Dani that sounds like a fun day to me. Who’s going just you and Amber??
Dani said
Wow! I really screwed that up. It should have been wicked awesome. My brain is on vacation as well.
Dani said
Me, Amber, my mom, my dad (he took the day off from work), Kelly and her kids Jesse and Rianna. Amber is talking about seeing the penguins, That is all she cares about since seeing Happy Feet.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Dani you’re not supossed to think while on *Hiatus* that’s what I’ll call my vaca. time from now on. Anyway yes it was wicked awesome, and totally sweet!!! 🙂
DIZEY1 said
My nephew Logan has been hooked on Penguins and Zebra’s maybe it’s the black and white thing. Anyway ya’ll will have a great time. I love to travel in packs. We do alot of that with my gang of peeps. We’re also known as **The Louds** a name given to us by Melanie’s brother in law yrs.back. We all will be talking at the same time and of course it gets loud, but we all manage to know what the others said. Freaky but it works.
Dani said
Yeah I know It is just not working this week.
So everyone that bought the new Harry Potter book, how fast did you finish it. I was up until 2 am Saturday morning reading and I had it finished Monday afternoon. My grandmother has it now. She was so excited to read it she stopped the one she was reading when I gave it to her, It is so funny watching my 88 year old grandma reading it and my 38 year old sister won’t let My nephew even glance at the books.
elizabeth said
I am getting ready to log off of here. I have been absolutely useless this last hour at work – I have officially mentally checked out and I am thinking of 3 lovely days away from it all 😉
Everyone – enjoy the weekend and I will endeavor to catch up on all the post on Monday. At least I now have something to look forward to when I come in each week.
ciao bellas
Dani said
Same with us.
I have been working so hard this week. Went to Rein’s Deli for breakfast on Monday and went SHOPPING, Tuesday was swimming at Valley Falls, the local pond, Wednesday was Chuck E Cheese and getting pampered at my sisters salon, today was shopping with Gram, tomorrow is Mystic Aquarium and Saturday is Santa’s Land or as Amber calls it Santa’s World. Sunday I am just going to sit back and relax.

Hello Hello Bloggers!!
How is eveyone doing here?
I’ve been busy the couple of past weeks and it looks like it’s going to be so for a few more days. It’s been a while since I last posted and I see that there are a few new bloggers around. For those who don’t know me, I’m Nina and like most of you BT addict.
Anzia kept me a little up to date to what has been going on here 🙂 Isn’t she an Angel!!!! Z keep up the writting, read part 3 for the fifth time today!! Too GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My YM is giving me troubles, but I’ll be online as soon as it starts liking me again 🙂
Claire – Darling I’ll be praying for you and hope that something good comes out of this. I know that the situation is harder when you’ve got your little children to think about. Lots of hugs and love coming your way and if I could I would send Henry. Try to be strong for the kids.
Tango- Thanks for your mail! Made me feel special *blushing*
Ok I’ve to finish up a report for tomorrow and not going that well. I’ll be back soon 😀
Have fun here!!!
Love,
Nina
nina said
Sorry for my spelling guys 😦 1.21 am here and sleep deprived…
Dani said
Hey Nina is has been a long time.
Lady Afrodyte said
Hello Nina!!
Glad to see you back from the depths of wherever you were.
Don’t be a stranger.
nina said
Hi LA and Dani!!
Yup has been a long time, but keeping up with you guys and my school work was getting impossible. I promise to try and visit as much as I can 😀
lwildstar said
Tango – ooohh cake with a surprise in the …my fav! please make the bow dark purple if you don’t mind – thats my favorite color!
Ran into Robin on the way out tonight – she says she needs to talk to me – *G* I hope she didn’t say anything to Paul…I kinda gushed a little at lunch yesturday. oh well whats done is done….
Its funny – her husband won’t let her watch the BT dvds I lent her – he thinks its “silly”….and this from a man who has the biggest collection of Japanimation I know of!
Finished twenty postcards, I found ten more that had gotten lost under a pile of papers – and I ordered another 100. I’m not sure when they’ll arrive so If I can get to the post office tomorrow I’ll pick up a few more.
Had a thought – I don’t make it over to the Lifetime board often aenough to keep up – has LifeTime Karen posted anything for or against the fangs? we all know she reads over the posts and I was curious.
I have my Nephew Saturday…I have no idea what we are going to do…he’s never been on the Metro (subway) to go downtown before so maybe we’ll brave that and I’ll take him to the National Mall and we’ll go to the museum…somewhere down there is a childrens hands on educational museum…..he might lke that – you get to play with experiments and what not….I got my sister to send a laptop with him – I’m going to try the creative writing thing and see if I can’t get him to open up alittle about whats been going on with him.
Dizey – I collect penguins! how cool – at Christmas I have oh about 20 stuffed penguins that I put on the stairs – tiny ones towards the top and big ones at the bottom….it has become a tradition to get a new pengiun every Christmas now. I also collect hedgehogs.
Dani – where is your bat “from”? please, for the family map. (Headbanger, I love it!)
Don’t worry Dizy – I set two of the little fuzz balls aside for you.
Yes and one for you Elizabeth.
Well I’ve got stuff to do so I’m going to log off.
Nighty Night my lovelies!
Lady Afrodyte said
Well I’m handing the computer over to my boy toy.
I’ll be back later.
Peace!
Dani said
Do you mean my personal location or the place I would like Cal to be from? She is hanging in my car quite happily flying free. Of course my dad took my car to work today so I could use his van so it might be down.
lwildstar said
hey have any of you been over to the LT baord? I just checked in…and whats up with the negativity over there? Appearently someone posted they don’t like BT on the BT message baord…HUH?…anyway it looks like they got some nasty messages back about it and just posted a rant….
Oh well, I am soooooooooooooooooo glad we play nice over here 😉
now I am off to do a little writing and a little reading….
Oh my short story is looking better since I re vamped (giggles) the first part. Will let you know when I get the courage to post it.
Dani said
She is from Rome in my world.
lwildstar said
hey maybe shes a cousin of Elizabeths little guy Vampiro Lunari and the soon to be adopted Vampiro della Luna…
Now really I got to go!
Dani said
I will have to ask her tomorrow. My dad works secod shift so she will be out late tonight. Elizabeth you should check with your little one to see if they are relatives.
Dani said
Hey Diz did you ever get everything squared away with eBay, your check and your t-shirt? Did you ever get it?
Madonna said
How is everyone here tonight?
Dani, Missed ya.
Dani said
Hi Madonna Thanks
Dani said
My mom wants to get going home so I have to go. I will talk to you Monday if I can’t come on between now and then.
vicki said
Elizabeth…Yes proud mommy moments get me..I was struggling not to cry todday as she jumped off that diving board. (I am sooo DMS ing!! LOL) She was just so brave, and she has come a long way with her swimming. Her brother (who is only 3) was yelling for her by the side of hte pool. “Just jump Willow,,,you can do it” Again with the tears..they are such joys to me.
Himmfan…I know what you mean about hte epiloge….I noticed the difference as well. (I kinda also wanted a little more info..what kind of jobs did everyone have…etc) But the funny thing was, while I was reading hte last three chapters before the epiloge, my husband was outside in the backyard playing with our dog. He could hear me crying and came to the door. “what is wrong?” I was sobbing so hard all I could do was hold up the book. He promptly rolled his eyes and went back outside. LOL
DIZEY1 said
Welcome back Nina we missed you. Good luck w/school and don’t be a stranger. 🙂
Vicki congrats on the guppie. That’s what they called it when my cousin learned yrs. ago at the *Y*. Amazing how those little ones can jump from there. 😉
Well I’m going to write out some post cards aaaagain and then to bed.
reves doux d’Henri XOXOXOXO Beth
Claire may you rest well and take care of yourself and the kids, you’ve got a guardian angel protecting you. Like Henry said sometimes you have to hav FAITH. You’ll be ok. I’ll keep ya’ll in my prayers. Je t’aime XOXOXOXOX
Lady Afrodyte said
I managed to sneak by the LT boards earlier… What I saw sickened me. Yet again there was fighting. I tried to remain neutral and think happy thoughts… I wouldn’t be surprised if someone called me a few nasty names by now… *rolls eyes*
moonbeam2016 said
I bopped over there too. I don’t understand all of the particulars, but I left a post anyhow. i figure if the LT powers poke around it might help if a newbie shows up and makes a statement about wanting BT
Lady Afrodyte said
From what I’ve heard they do poke around quite a lot. That is why I always try to stay on topic and positive.
Negative things only make us as a whole look stupid.
moonbeam2016 said
I agree and it feels so ugly, as well.
Madonna said
Hi guys,
I personally don’t understand why someone who does not like the show would bother to post there anyway.
Although I had a hard time understanding that woman’s post it almost sounds as if one of the Lifetime bloggers may have started it by saying something nasty on another board. I went to Army Wives board and lurked a little…. I didn’t see anything derogatory there? Who knows? Although I try to post there occasionally under mjp79 just to let TPTB know I still care, I much prefer it here. This feels like a home.
Madonna said
OOPS, I meant the Blood Ties board.
Well I just finished up my postcards. I’m heading to bed now.
Love y’all
Madonna said
What I meant to say is that it sounded like one of the Blood Ties bloggers started it.
Heading to bed now really………..
Lady Afrodyte said
goodnight folks!
Sweet dreams!
Anzia said
Hey guys! I’m sure most if not everyone is in bed but this is the first oppritunity I’ve had to be on here today and i wanted to share GREAT news.
*clears throat* lalalalla
*bellows* I GOT MY JOB!
*giggles*
Yup, I start working for Kohls on th 13th of Aug. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY there was much celebration on this end so I will desperately try to get pt 4 done. ^_^
I’m sorry I missed you NINA! Me? an angel? HA! got the wrong girl lov! ^_^ I’m too naughty to be an angel!
I heard from Claire. She really misses all of us but is really not having a good time of it. Her landlord’s broker came to take pictures of the house today. 😦 Oi, Like to get my hands on that man. Grrrrr…
Anyway… I’m off to turn angry frustration into something else. Talk to ya’ll later. ^_^
Tango said
ANZIA!!!!!! Fabuloso bella! What great news! I think we all knew you nailed that interview and we are so happy for you. So, are you gonna get the discounts?!!!!! I did the whole retail stint in my life when I was in college, and just loved getting that 40-50% discount. I would think even though you were in the corporate office that you would still be entitled to a discount. Let’s hope so anyway. In honor of your big news ~ I shall go shopping at Khols this weekend! Good for me…and…good for you! 🙂
Thanks for sending me that email to give me a head’s up on Claire. I sent her another email to give her a solution on my email debakle (sp?) I thought that problem had gotten resolved, but I guess…not!
Himmiefan said
Yeah Anzia!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! You go girl!! 🙂
Himmiefan said
Vicki – Once I got to the school part, I couldn’t put the book down. I’d cheer then I’d boo hoo, then I’d cheer, then I’d boo hoo. 🙂
Tango said
CLAIRE NEWS: Thank you for all the good suggestions posted today – Himmiefan, Gypsy, lwildstar & Elizabeth. I am taking what you post here and sending directly to Claire since she doesn’t have time right now to sift through the fluff. Maybe not the right word there, but you know what I mean.
Nina – Mission accomplished! But you don’t need me to make you feel special, you accomplish that on your own. You forgot to tell the newbies where you’re from. This is the cool part! So, you’re going to summer school, huh. I did that one summer in college to get ahead, took 4 classes, did the whole work-study program and also worked a retail job on the weekends. I fondly refer to that summer as “the summer from hell”!
Did anyone else get giddy today to see their name on Tanya’s LJ? How goofy am I?
Tango said
Jeez Louise it’s getting late, what am I thinking, I have to be up in less than 5 hours….. good night all!
moonbeam2016 said
Anzia – That is Fabulous!!!!!!! I’m so excited for you! OH YEAH!!!!!!!
Anzia said
Thanks guys. ^_^ I’ve come to the realization that part 4 won’t be done by … well… today. I’m going to bed and will finish it tomorrow…er… when I wake up. 🙂 When the words on teh screen start moving and you’re not typing… you KNOW it’s time to sleep…
Margaret said
RE: The Lifetime Message Board
For the most part that board is a positive board. That was an isolated incident between two-three people. There are such things as trolls and its quite possible this person was/is one. The mistake was that anyone reacted, had they let it pass she probably wouldn’t have felt the need to keep posting.
Tango said
Good morning bloggerati! TGIF to ya! I must say after we’ve named Thursday Thumpday, we’ve got to come up with something better for Friday.
I wanted to leave a quick note before I got on the road today as I might forget, ok, most certainly will forget by this afternoon…
LH – I’ve got a present for you. I saw this cool plane, almost spaceship-like for you to fly in our movie. It’s the newest thing from NASA.
http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/improvingflight/x48b.html it’s not in color here, but on the news this morning, it has this royal blue trim around the border where you see the white writing – just along the edge. Then the rest of it is like a gunmetal grey. Notice the bended wings – they are actually doing this wing style with the newer commercial jets too. I was on one last week and they are furistic looking.
Hope everyone is in store for a fabulous day! Check you guys out later!
Margaret said
Depp lights up ‘Dark Shadows’ (Variety.com)
Warner Bros. is teaming with Depp’s Infinitum-Nihil and Graham King’s GK Films to develop a feature based on the ’60s daytime supernatural sudser “Dark Shadows
Does anyone see a theme here? TV and now the movies. Lifetime would be foolish not to purchase more episodes the way this genre is heating up.
Tango said
And that would be futuristic, not furistic. Could you imagine a furry plane? Snoop Dog might have one, but I doubt it would ever go commercial. Love to start the day with a good typo, don’t you?
Tango said
I really got to go, but I sure hope they notice our man, Kyle for this. Really gonna be late not – bye!
lwildstar said
Good morning Blogkin!
Anzia – I told you you would get it! congrats!
Tango – thanks for passing on the info to Claire….. I have friends who have been through similar situations – if you want to send me a personal email that I can reply to – I just need to know where Claire lives (city, county, state) I’d be more than happy to help on the research end …there has got to be some sort of protection group that covers this sort of thing.
And No tango you’re not goofy – seeing my name – both names – gave me a warm fuzzy feeling – like she was passing on a hug…
Ok need to go to work – I picked up a few post cards a tthe post office this morning to tied me over until my order comes in.
Talk at you later!
Madonna said
Congratulations Anzia!
Margaret said
If anyone has sent post cards over this week, please personal message
Staceycj
over at the Lifetime Message Board. She’s trying to keep a running total and aiming for a 1,000 this week.
Margaret said
Whoops, Congratulations Anzia. You should really be as proud of yourself as we are. We knew you could do it.
Chery said
Good Morning fellow addicts:
Koodos to everyone writing postcards! I noticed that Stacey posted on the Lifetime Boarad that numbers seemed down yesterday. I am sure people just did not tell her their numbers.
Keep up the good work everyone, we really need more postcards to make the 1,000 this week.
Love Yu!
msgypsy said
Anzia, CONGRATS!!!!! Kohl’s is now officially my favorite department store!
I haven’t had a chance to send any postcards so far this week but tomorrow I have scheduled a full hour to produce and address them.
And I’m late for work. Latter, bloggren!
DIZEY1 said
***Z**** BABY CONGRAT’S Not that I ever doubted you wouldn’t get the gig. You’re a very smart chick and I guess they saw that too. Yeah for You!!!
Tango yes ma’am warm and FUZZY. I loved that she posted it with our names too cool 😎
lioves history said
hey just saying hi didnt see any blog on bt bu anybody who hated the show whats up.
lwildstar said
consider this a drive by posting…..
LH – the negitive stuff was on the LT message board not the BT blog.
And last I checked – it looks like its moved on….
Already emailed StacyNy my postcard count.
Must go now – will check in tonight
Margaret said
Got two emails saying the exact same thing from Lifetime, thank you for your interest, yadah, yadah, yadah….and then goes on to describe the new shows, again.
Laurel said
Way to go Anzia! You rock sweetie! I might even have to shop at Kohl’s now.
LH – always glad to see you check in. I hope you are soon on the mend.
It seems to my that today is our usual “brain-fry-day” but maybe it’s just me. 😎
Moonbeam – tonight or tomorrow? When should I expect to see you and your guys?
DIZEY1 said
Hi LH how are things going?? What are you there to do? Is it the actual transplant??
Laurel said
Looks like I’ll be in and out today. I get to pick up my Rose from camp at noon and then some running around to do for my crafting classes.
To top it off sci/fi channel is showing “Jake 2.0”! I can’t even get this on i-tunes, and it never went to DVD. I love Christopher Goram but prefer him as Jake but watch him on “Ugly Betty” where he plays Henry. Hmmm maybe it’s a Henry thing.
🙂
Laurel said
Christopher Gorham is te correct spelling. 😎
Laurel said
Apparently my fingers think I need more coffee. If they don’t respond I will have to add chocolate and an hour of Blood Ties. Actually, I should probably just go for the BT and chocolate with the coffee so I can feel better faster. I figure I can watch BT on my i-pod while watching Jake on TV
Anzia said
Laurel- BT & Jake? Um… dear… should we step up your treatment? ^_^ I can’t throw stones. I go to bed with Henry most nights. I LOVE having a laptop! I too am in desperate need of chocolate. Sadly, there is NONE in the house! @_@ Yeah, it’s getting a bit harry over here without it.
Everyone- Thanks for the congrads. I was so excited I was dancing in the kitchen and woke my aunt up (she works third shift at a hospital- she’s a nurse). She said she felt a whole lotta energy and couldn’t shake it enough to go back to bed. ^_^ I was REALLY dizzy ’cause the dancing was, of course, in a circle. I almost fell trying to sit. BUT i’m happy! ^_^
I’ll definitely be shopping at Kohls. I get a discount! YAY.
vicki said
good morning blogkin..
I had to go to school today my prinicpal was interviewing math teachers for my team, and she wanted some of use there..FUN!!!!!
Anyway..i noticed on the lifetime board that BT was number one!! And I watched “dearly departed” on there video page.(thats the only one I dont have on my tivo) Naturally its the one where Henry has his shirt off alot!!! LOL
it’s nicce that they have all the episodes on there… easier to recruit people..oh sure..just go to the lifetime site and watch the episodes. HEHE
And I still agree with that Canadian reviewer…”women gasps when Henry came on the screen” (I am paraphrasing)
God knows I still gasps when I see him
vampgrl said
Ugh. More negativity over on the LT board. I swear, I just don’t get people. As I said before, if you don’t like the show, why would you go on the BT board and say you don’t like it? It would be like going on the AW board and saying you don’t like Army Wives. Stupid much?! See? That’s why I stay away from that board. I’m the kind of person that just can’t let a negative comment against BT go. It could get ugly. 😛
Oh and why do a movie of DK? Sorry, never did get the whole DK thing. I used to make fun of the reruns when I used to watch them on Sci-Fi. *g* Too before my time I guess. Heh.
Oh and finally read up to Chap 9 of Ana’s novel. Not to be confused with Lady A or A or Z…or whatever you guys call yourselves. 🙂 Now keep going…hehe
Like my piccy? I’m an equal-opportunity drooler…heeh
ZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!! 🙂 🙂 😎 😎 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

lwildstar said
just checked the LT Board – there is a post from LifetimeKaren that the negative comment posts and the responses to said posts have been removed as the “violate house rules”
So there you go.
help! I need someone to proof my short story – any Volunteers? email me at LognWldstr@aol.com

loves history,
How are you feeling?

How’s the knee?
Prayers and good wishes going to both of you!
Himmiefan said
Loves History – so did they just do testing at Vanderbilt? You’ll stay in NYC until a liver comes available? I don’t know how organ donation and transplants are handled. Seems to me that they’d send the available liver to NYC.
lioves history said

Lady Afrodyte said
Congratulations Z!!!
Another late morning, I swear I need to find some way to convince myself to sleep before 2am. Ugh.
DIZEY1 said
LH, so will you stay there till you get the liver? And your wife will go back to NY and work until it’s time for your surgery??
When my sister passed LOPA (La.Organ Procurement Assoc) was standing by us waiting. I know that sounds horrible but God Bless her she couldn’t use them anymore and there are so many people just like you Loves History that can use them. It’s truly a wonderful feeling when you get a letter saying that (2) people can see now becasue of her cornias, and I think a couple of people rec’d her heart valves. So in some small way my sister lives on. Everyone should make sure your loved ones know you want to donate your organs, after this I told my family and Melanie to make sure it happens if I go before them.
Good luck LH I think you’re gonna be fine and healthy.
Himmiefan said
LH – I’ll keep you and your wife in my prayers so that she can work in New York and you stay in Nashville. Can she telecommute (work on a laptop from anywhere)?

To Madonna: Knee’s about the same. Doctor said it will take 6 weeks to heal, I’m thinking longer, since I never get enough time to rest my let, hence the reason why I’m not on my own pc right now. If I sit in that low desk chair, I might not get back up. I still can’t get enough pressure on the leg to stand up on it. And I’m still limping like and old lady. Ugh. I’m too young to feel old….again…ugh.
Zooommmm…again..hehe
DIZEY1 said
Oh Vampgrl I forg to to say earlier like the pic. Zander a blast from the past. I really did like Buffy and Angel. At least I can still see my hot David Boreanes (SP) Love Bones ! Very cool show 😎
DIZEY1 said
Oops that was supposed to be FORGOT not forg.
Lady Afrodyte said
Vampgrl, that sucks! I hate when my knee goes out on me. Keep taking it easy, hopefully it’ll heal faster than you’re thinking.
DIZEY1 said
Oh and another thing, what is JAKE Laurel or should I say who is JAKE??? And not baby Jake either. I know Christopher Gorham from I think the show was called Popular maybe from a couple of seasons ago. He also was in a show not long lived about the CDC and he played a scientist I think. Anyway just curious what that show was about.
Madonna said
Vampgrl,
I can sympathize with you. I was in 9th grade when my left kneecap first dislocated. While I was recovering from that the right one went out. Too much outward pressure. I had to have surgery on both of them. It helped for a while but when I was a senior I walked on a sublocated (partially dislocated) left knee for almost a year. Immediately after I graduated they cut the bone in my leg in two, realigned it then put a screw in through the bone and tendon. Non-weight bearing for over a year. Now I have no cartilage left in that knee at all. It does make you feel old.
One of the tricks I’ve learned is to keep the muscles surrounding the knees strong, especially the quadriceps.
Keep it elevated and stay off of it. Take care!!!
Lady Afrodyte said
Well I am off. My wrist isn’t allowing me to type comfortably… *grumbles*
Hopefully I’ll be back tonight!
Chery said
Hey!
Just received my “Henry” rings today! They are awesome!
Glad I purchased them.
Thanks Margaret for the suggestion, let’s push for postcards over the weekend so Life Time is flooded with them!!!!!!
Off to write postcards……………… (looking at the rings………:)
DIZEY1 said
Hey Chery, did you get all 3 of them? I’m thinking I want the band and the filigree looking one. I’m a ring girl big time.
BTW mom and I will sit tonight and finish off my pack of postcards probably 70 or 80 left out of this 100. Are we still sending in 20 at a time?? How many do ya’ll want me to send?? 😉
Chery said
Thanks Dizey1
I purchased all three and they are just beautiful!!!!!! I just love them.
Yes, thanks we are still sending out 20 per day, trying to send 1,000 this week. I think this week is critical, LifeTime will be making a decision soon,
so, keep those postcards flying right out to them!!!!!
Also everyone, do not forget to contact advertisers, and look at the episodes on the LifeTime Video board.
Back to writing………..
lwildstar said
I’ve got my 20 postcards to drop in the box tomorrow!
I hope my pack of 100 comes Monday……
Well it looks like my nephew isn’t coming tomorrow – he decided he didn’t feel well and had my parents take him home – oh well.
I just stopped in to see whats up …its been storming here on and off so I’m not going to stay on…
Night all.
Dani said
Hi guys! I jsut got back from Mystic Aquarium about 1 1/2 hours ago.
I am hanging at Kelly’s. We are going to watch some movies, John Tucker Must Die and Premonition.
I am wondering what has happened with Claire? I know I asked yesterday if anything big and good or bad has happened with the familia but no one answered so I assumed nothing happened.
Dani said
Oh and I was very giddy to see my name on Tanya’s blog. To know that she was talking about me made it very squealish.
Madonna said
Hi Dani,
Glad you had fun at the aquarium.
Claire’s landlord told her that he was raising her rent to $2,500 a month and if she couldn’t pay it she was out by the August 24th. Right now she is scrambling to find someplace else to live.
Dani said
Thanks for letting me know. That sucks. A long lost friend of my moms is moving in with my parents for awhile because her husband lost his job, she has been in 7 car accidents (none were her fault) so she can’t work, and they are being evicted. I hope all this is true and she isn’t going to screw over my mom. The last time they saw each other was before I was born. They are moving in next week.
Claire my thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. If I could put you up somewhere I would. I have a hard enough time paying my rent.
Madonna said
Dani,
How close have your mom and her friend been in the past 29 years? I hate to say it but that situation sounds kinda funny to me.
Dani said
My mom heard from her for the first time about a week and a half ago since my mom was married to my sister’s father. That was long before I was born.
Tango said
Hey Dani – I haven’t heard from Claire today. So the latest news is what Z posted about the broker coming to take pictures. Nutshell is the landlord appears to be acting like a royal jerk, not showing any respect nor compassion to Claire for her and the situation she is in. ( He has gone up on the rest exponentially and the rent is out of her reach) Threatening to kick her out regardless August 24th.
Dani said
Some people can be so effing thoughtless, cruel, and just plain stupid.
Tango said
I guess I should have refreshed before I posted. Sorry for being redundant.
Dani – I’m with Madonna, the situation with the “long lost friend” does sound questionable. It sounds like your mom is sof-hearted. She needs to set some ground rules and a time frame. And you may have to help her stand up to these people. I hate that I am so jaded, but with identity theft as rampant as it is, there is more at stake than just having over-baring houseguests who wont leave.
Dani said
Her and I are a lot alike when it comes to things like that. She already told me that she is going to put them to work. My sister Kim does the woman’s sister’s hair. That is how they got back in touch. She said none of their family will help them. i am definitely going to be looking out for my mom and speaking up if anything seems suspicious to me. She has looked out for me since I was born. It is my turn to look out for her and my dad.
Madonna said
Hey Tango,
How are you doing tonight? While you were away I started taking ideas for everybody’s super hero emblem for Elder Hostel. Do you have any ideas for yours? Email them to me along with a description of your costume, for style, colors etc… and I’ll see what I can put together for you.
MadonnaJPike@aol.com
Dani,
Did you ever think of any ideas for your logo. I know it will have to be something in purple and silver?
I’m working on Anzia’s right now.
Where do you guys think everyone has been tonight? In fact it has been pretty dead on here all day.
Dani said
I am thinking a silver sword encrusted with amethysts maybe with a rose twisting up it. That sounds really cool. Has anybody else had their’s close to that?
Madonna said
Nope nothing like that yet.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Madonna, Dani, Tango 🙂 Stopping for a moment to see wassup ?? Mom’s helping me write postcards again god bless her little heart 😉
Anyway I got a message back from Kellogg’s saying how thoughtful of me to take the time to write and say how much I love their products, she sounded almost surprised that someone would write and say thanks. I also got one from I think SlimFast too.
Tango loved the Grandma and the lawyers, email hysterical.
Dani how was the aquarium?
Dani said
Diz it was great the kids had a ball.
DIZEY1 said
Glad to hear it . All we got here was rain today, and most of the day. Tomorrow evening out on the river front is the Pre-Game Arena Bowl Concert, the bands will start sometime around 5:00 until I guess I think Styx comes on about 7:00 I’m STOKED baby. I hope if it’s gonna rain it does it early. It should at least keep the temps a little lower.
DIZEY1 said
Well since I sucked her into doing these postcards I should at least go help her write some. Will check in before I crash. 😉 😎
Tango said
Madonna, I’m doing well, just a little worn out after a busy week. How was your week?
So everyone is having their own emblem, or we are pitching in ideas for the group emblem?
Madonna said
Tango,
Worn out here too. You know, too much work and not enough people to do it.
Everyone gets their own emblem!
Madonna said
I’m signing off for a little while guys. Gotta go do some drawing.
Dani said
Diz what are the other bands performing?
prtfvr said
Looked at the Lifetime Blood Blog for the first time since May. What a waste of space. A chat room would better serve everyone. I can’t believe it’s over 1,800 with still more going. Why people still post there is beyond me. That and why Lifetime keeps that blog open. Maybe I’m just missing something, but I don’t get it.
Dani said
Good Night guys I am going home to go to bed.
vicki said
Himmfan…I was the same way at the school thing..cry…cheer…cry…laugh..cry…etc.
Cherry…where did you get Henry rings????I WANT!!! I WANT!!! Let me know.
well..I have pictures of kids..a birthday party..AND i have a singing gig tomorrow night…Not rest for the wicked.
So I think I will go to bed soon, not really sleepy yet though…maybe just little Henry before I go to bed…LOL
Anzia said
So, want to hear a heart wrenchingly sad story? a true story btw. If not, sorry. I’m going to tell you anyway partially ’cause I’m sure the support for you guys wouldn’t compare to anything I could get from my non-internet family. That and it’s after midnight and I have to tell someone before I cry all the tears my body will ever be able to produce.
My freshman year at LU I met a guy named Nick. He was 23 to my 18, in the Army and totally amazing. In a matter of weeks Nick was in my room more often than not. He’d just come up and sit and talk, do homework, or just about anything. We ended up becoming really good friends. Him, Me and my best friend Stephanie were basically joined at the hip the next year. During this time, I found that I had fallen for him. I also knew that he was in love with Stephanie and, though she didn’t admit it for another year, she was in love with him. By this time Nick and I were really close. He told his fraternity brothers one night, during an all night event on our main green, that out of everyone in his life besides his parents, I knew him best. He said that he’d told me things that he’d never told anyone and that combined his entire fraternity might come close to knowing him like I did. I was pretty happy with this. It meant I was important to him and at that time, it seemed enough.
Well, Nick was also 2/3 of a year ahead of stephanie and I. So, our junior year things changed. Partially because Stephanie and I weren’t living together (for the first time in over a year) and because we both had to deal with the fact that Nick was leaving. He started pulling away from me. Instead of visiting me at least three times a week, it fell to twice, then once, then it was a good week if I just saw a glimpse of him on campus. At the same time, he was starting to visit stephanie more. I came to the conclusion that it was just ’cause she lived closer (denial is great—for a while). Then he graduated. And I never saw him while Steph saw him a few times a month. Three months after he graduated he was told he was going to Iraq. And I about died inside. Stephanie had FINALLY come to terms with the fact that she loved him although she wasn’t willing to believe that he was interested in her, let alone in love with her. Me, being the person I am, put the facts out there for her. I, his confessed closest person next to his parents, was no longer ever seeing him. INstead he spent his time with her. He called her to do things, not me. The best evidence was that when he left. He wasn’t going to say goodbye to me. Stephanie had to force him to come to me. I can’t tell you how much that hurt. I cried so hard that my roommate at the time was going nuts. I kept screaming that I wanted to know what I’d done wrong to deserve this. Why did I have to lose him for her to gain him.
By this time I’d figured out that he couldn’t be good friends with the woman he’s in love with’s best friend. So, I freely gave him up so the Stephanie could be happy. While he was gone I never wrote. I never had Stephanie tell him I said “hi.” I just let him be. Hoping that it wouldn’t hurt so much later.
Well, Nick came back for leave mid-way through our last term at LU. I was so busy that I couldn’t have seen him if he’d wanted to. Not that he ignored me. I was the first one out of the two of us to see him. I hugged him so hard and cried (the first time he’d ever seen me cry) that he was worried that something was wrong. Well, Stephanie pushed him away. She was afraid he only wanted sex. She kept pushing me for the reason why Nick and I really couldn’t be in the same room for too long. Why I was always really upset when he left. I wouldn’t tell her. I still haven’t.
He left again. He didn’t say good-bye to either of us. Mostly ’cause stephanie made it very clear that she wasn’t sure about him. She wanted a gaurantee before she’d take that first step. I wanted to scream. I still care very deeply for the man and it really REALLY hurts to know that I could’ve fought for him. I could’ve tried to save the friendship from whatever had made him decide to drop me.
Right now I’m so mad. He’s back for good. He’s going to be a trainer at a boot camp in Indianapolis and Stephanie wants nothing more than friendship. She’s so scared that it won’t work that she’s pushed him completely away and I’d give anything to hit her over the head right now. This man is so great guys. He’s sweet. He’s caring. He was engaged when he was younger but his fiance ran off with his best friend on the night before the wedding and he doesn’t hate them. He wont’ talk about it ’cause it hurts still. He’s been there every step of the way for his sister who’s a drug addict. He keeps trying to help her, to make her life better but she resists. He doesn’t give up. He makes the most outlandish jokes and makes everyone believe that he’s the “bad boy.” He went to seminary school for a year. He has complete belief in God and has a tattoo on his left shoulder of his Squad (Is that right?) number around a cross. I don’t understand what’s so scary. He’s the kind of guy that comes along ONCE in a person’s life. Just once, and I can’t make her see it.
Sorry this is so long and so … well desperate is probably a good word. My only excuse is that Nick meant the world to me and I lost him for her. AND i’m really hormonal right now (and we have NO CHOCOLATE). I just can’t believe that she’d give it up. For no reason other than fear.
Sorry guys, no Henry tonight. I can’t write it right now. I’m really sorry. g’night
Margaret said
Anzia: Sounds like you really need to have a good talk with your friend. You are a great friend and a loyal one but if she’s not interested in Nick maybe you should try reopen that door. Sometimes you can go back home.
My boss’s brother is the man that Black Hawk Down was written about. He had married, had kids (his wife did that of course), divorced, came back home, got reacquinted with his high school sweetheart and married her. So never say never. Not exactly the same situation but it does prove that you can go home, at least once in a while, and once in a while there is a happy ending.
Remember: “Love is worth the risk, eternity is a long time to live with regret”.
Chery said
Anzia, I also think that your friend Stephanie lost her chance and you should try and establish communication with him.
and I totally agree with Henry’s quote also
“Love is worth the rish, eternity is a long time to live with regret”
Chery said
Vicki:
Blood Ties Central has the contact information. The jeweler is in Van Couver BC. and he also made the “Iluminacion del Sol” He makes jewelry for tv and movie productions. The propmaster designed the rings and the Iluminacion del Sol, and Gil made them.
I wrote my 20 post cards yesterday with them on. 🙂
Tango said
CLAIRE UPDATE: She’s going out today to look at a house, the owner had faxed her a picture of the house yesterday, so it must have some curb appeal. She’s got a friend who will be looking out for the quads while she goes so that she won’t have any distractions. She said she heard the kids praying last night about the house, how sweet is that!
Keep those prayers and good vibes going her way.
She quoted Willa Cather, “Where there is great love there will always be miracles”
I told her there was a lovefest going on for her over here and with all those kids you know her cup over floweth! Miracles will continue to come her way, I know it! If you’ve read her previous posts, you know her life has been one miracle after another, yes she has had plenty of pain in her life, but it was the miracles that have brought her out of the pits and I know she’s due for another.
prtfvr said
Anzia: I was so worried about your story when it began talking about your soldier. I thought for sure you were going to say that he’d died over there.
Here’s the thing though; he DIDN’T die. You still have a chance to find out if you’re right for each other. Don’t waste time with regret. Don’t wait until he has someone else and your chance has been lost.
Get your butt in gear, tell this man how you feel and see what happens. What’s the worst thing that could happen? He’ll reject you and talk to you less than he does now? At least you’ll know that you tried.
Go out and make a grab for happiness. There aren’t soul mates around every corner! Find out if he’s yours! Plus, it’ll change the ending to your story and who doesn’t like happy endings. You know what happy endings are, right? 😉
*hugs*
Debbie
Tango said
Anzia, I think all signs are pointing to you making contact with Nick. Stephanie had her chance, and it was her choice not to pursue that avenue. You are at the top of your game right now, you’ve just graduated college, you’ve just landed your first “real” job. You’ve got all this emotion bottled up inside you, much is the regret that you let love slip away. Take the chance to rekindle the friendship and allow love to grow.
Passion isn’t something you can shut out forever Z, it knocks down walls, it sweeps you off your feet, it can change your life.
Go for it!
Tango said
Henry’s fangs
I guess if there is anything about Henry that doesn’t sit well with me it is his fangs. http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=10&fullsize=1
The bitemarks he leaves only show the canine marks, yet as you see two of his incisors (yes, I had to look that up) are also longer, yet they don’t leave marks. Hmmmm. Has anyone else noticed this?
I was noticing in the promos of Moonlight that the vampire in that show only has long canines, which would match up with the traditional fang marks we are accustomed to. I must say I like his fangs better.
AlisaSG said
from Madonna,
>> I personally don’t understand why someone who does not like the show would bother to post there anyway.

>> What I meant to say is that it sounded like one of the Blood Ties bloggers started it.
———-
from Margaret,
>> RE: The Lifetime Message Board
>> For the most part that board is a positive board. That was an isolated incident between two-three people. There are such things as trolls and its quite possible this person was/is one. The mistake was that anyone reacted, had they let it pass she probably wouldn’t have felt the need to keep posting.
———-
from vampgrl
>> Ugh. More negativity over on the LT board. I swear, I just don’t get people.
———-
okay, just from reading the few above comments — this sounds like it’s either the proverbial *TROLLS* under the bridge coming in from another web site (hmmmm, let me guess – GW?? since BT is posted there)..
or it’s possibly someone on the inside of LIFETIME’s programming team (or friends of them) posting in the negative to set about trashing the show to rile up the true viewers and getting them to post more or their real feelings (and sadly, I’ve actually seen the Sci-Fi channel pull that sort of internal campaign just to liven up the notches and blood pressures of various viewers).
Since BLOOD TIES is soon to debut in several other countries, it’s going to come under attack from the “trolls and other inside folks” who like poking holes into anything that’s positive.
Wait til Johnny Depp comes under attack for being in Dark Shadows..!! My guess is that it won’t be him who’ll be attacked, but the storyline itself.
too many wonderful fans of his are already going *THUD*.. just hearing his name.. and that he’ll be portraying a vampire..! okay, that means
Henry’s gonna have some serious competition going on there..!!
and if that’s true, OOOOOOOooooo!! what a way (for us) to help promote BLOOD TIES even MORE..!! 😉
Yes, I *Like* my way of thinking, sometimes!! Let Johnny Depp go forth.
Henry’s right next to him, too!! Depending on how TPTB do J.Depp’s vamp make-up.. One dark-haired guy for those attracted to him..
and one curly, lovely, sandy-brown haired and ultra handsome HENRY for the rest of us! 😀
Margaret said
Tango: But ah yessss, do we REALLY care that much about Henry’s fangs. I myself love his other ASSets more.
Laurel said
Good morning/afternoon blogerkin. I am anxiously awaiting moonbeams arrival in about an hour. I wish more of you were on your way because I know we would have a great time together. 🙂
Dizey – I’m sorry I didn’t get your question answered yesterday. “Jake” is actually Sci/fi’s “Jake 2.0” from 2004. It was very short lived with only 12 episodes aired even though 16 were filmed. The final four have aired since then but it left a cliffhanger in the last episode. The main charactor, a computer geek for a gov. agency, was infected by nanites – tiny robots that enhanced his abilities physically and mentally (and electronically). I came across it last fall when sci/fi was running a marathon day of episodes. They show them about once every 2-3 months over a couple of days. If you liked it but want to know how it would have ended check out the ImBD site and follow the threads for Christopher Gohram – Jake 2.0 and look for the fan offering how the final episode would have gone. It was a good ending that never got filmed.
AlisaSG said
QUESTION..???????????
has anyone here contacted anyone on the main Dark Shadows forums about possible suggestions for what to send to TPTB at Blood Ties??
The DS folks have had 30 years experience in that field (for reviving their beloved series on TV, old and new remakes, etc), so I would imagine they’d be a good resource for finding out what works best or not.. however, I don’t think TPTB creating BT are the problem here..
I think LIFETIME is a moot case – they only want postcards
AlisaSG said
>>>>> ALSO >>>>> RE: POSTCARDS 😦
(not the *BT* type from here, either)
..AND BTW.. I’ve been getting VIRUS emails about POSTCARDS and GREETING cards within the past week at work. My hubby got them at his addresses, too. It’s also been posted from someone else at another web site, that there’s a sudden RASH of GREETING cards POSTCARDS recently.
PLEASE be careful at what you’re all opening. My computer quarantined the one(s) at work and I had to delete it – pronto. 😦
The geeky crooks on this planet are sending out computer viruses faster than the anti-virus software folks can keep up with them. I see several anti-virus sweeps daily now, and it’s getting annoying. Seems the sabotaging virus geeks out there scan sites for what is the most popular method to attack, and they’ve picked this one up within the last week or so.
DIZEY1 said
Hi ya’ll just checking in to see what’s goin’ on??
**Z** Sweetie girl life is so short, all the shoulda’s and woulda’s suck when you look back. If you think about it what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not reciprocated ? Which is no worse than where you are now. As our beloved Henry would say “Sometimes you’ve gotta have FAITH” just believe that it can be you and that you deserve it. You know our Henry is so wise 😉 🙂 Well whatever you decide I’m behind you poking at ya’ to take a chance. Take a walk on the wild side. 😎 Ok my friend I’m done preaching but it’s only cuz’ I love ya!!! (“Oh and wear something nice” 😉 )
Laurel thanx for the scoop on Jake 2.0, I’ll have to look for it and check it out.
Well I may check back in before we head downtown to the Styx & bands etc concert. I am so stoked to go listen to some good old music. I’m gonna take my camera and will get some pics to send ya’ll.

here’s a snippet and more of what was mentioned in there..
from AlisaSG,
>> Based on the photo in this article.. he looks too much like BT’s

———-
((so maybe *that* is GOOD NEWS..??.. positive REINFORCEMEMT..??))
someone is *definitely* out there keeping track of BLOOD TIES!!
no wonder it’s coming under negative attacks..
Margaret,
>> Depp lights up ‘Dark Shadows’ (Variety.com)
>> Does anyone see a theme here? TV and now the movies. Lifetime would be foolish not to purchase more episodes the way this genre is heating up.
WHOOOOOOOOAH – a totally ***WILD*** thought just popped in my head.. 😀
Yuppers!!!! Apparently, LIFETIME has NO CLUE about the fan base explosion that is about to come into this world.. *funny* (totally, totally OMG!!!!!!) thought just hit me – Vicki’s initial storyline is to bring about “HELL on earth” via Astaroth.. –right??? 😉
REAL WORLD events are escalating into HELL invading earth (end times prophecies)..
it sounds sort of weird and uncanny if both BLOOD TIES and the new Johnny Depp “DS” film/series would escalate that even faster.. 😉
If so, who’d ever thought Vicki’s BT encounter with the supernatural world would bring about the end of this life on earth, as we humans know of it (excluding the 1000 years of peace that follow in the prophecies, etc., too) 😛
Vicki, Henry AND Mike.. oh, (Michael too as) Norman teaming up with DARK SHADOWS and Johnny Depp to bring about the prophecied HELL on earth (the age of *THE* real/FINAL, deceptive Anti-Christ).. this is too much INFO overload to think about.. but sort of funny, too – as in uncanny, if it did.
(OMG!!) :p
———-
might as well toss in CoastToCoastAM radio broadcast this week with George Noory, about performing an actual Ouiji board (international) *experiment* for reinforcement too – with bringing about all that HELL into our dimension stuff.
..any additional thoughts??
Lady Afrodyte said
Afternoon folks!
I’ve been kinda giddy about the DS announcement. Johnny Depp as a vampire, oh yeah baby!
If I went by the temperatures I’d say Hell had already come to earth. Ugh!
Tango said
Margaret – yes you’re right. His other assets (too many to name) do more than make up for this inconsistency, I’m just surprised the propmaster didn’t think of this.
Alisa – thanks for the heads up on the virus.
Lady Afrodyte said
I am not a fan of the doubled incisor. I makes the vampires mouth look crowded, if that makes any sense.

Lady A – It does – that’s a good way to put it. Thanks, I thought it was just me.

Hooray I haven’t lost my mind! I’ve been feeling a little out of it lately, so I wasn’t sure if I made any sense whatsoever.

Ooo look! Something shiny!

lwildstar said
Tango – I’ve noticed the teeth too – in episode one the first time you see Henry in bed with Sandra – you see four puncture marks in her neck – so that fits with the four teeth.
I don’t remember if the dead hooker in episode 7 had them – the one Mendoza fed to Delphine…but I think she only had two puncture marks.
I just poped in to see whats up – my nephew went home last night – turns out he was sick – he has a raging ear infection – my sister called this morning and said he woke up with a fever so she took him to urgent care and they put him on antibiotics….so I spent the day trying to get stuff around the house done – dropped off 20 postcards in the mail box this morning – I’ve got ten left for Monday – I hope my 100 show up on tuesday or I’ll b behind!
Ok – I’m fried so I’m going to log off – really should finish cleaning the house….yea, right….- talk at you later!
Lady Afrodyte said
I should be cleaning as well, but with my wrist and all I can’t lift anything! It’s interesting trying to wrangle a hyper kid with one hand…. hahaha!
Soo… How’s everyones weekend been so far?

yea – I wish I had an excuss – other than being drained – I have had three anxiety attacks this week alone! I’m PMS’ing today – so I think thats part of it.
Ok I just did my posting duty on the LT Board soand IMDB so I am off for the afternoon!
Margaret said
Well, since we’re talking about his teeth, here’s one for you. If a vampire is a self healer he shouldn’t have chapped lips either, should he? In one of the first two episodes, specifically when he’s talking to the waitress looks like his lips are chapped. Or, am I just looking too close? lol.

Margaret… Put down the magnifying glass and step away from the tv… lol!
True he can heal himself, but I think he also needs to ingest water to maintain his body. If he was dehydrated that would account for his chapped lips, even if he can heal himself.
The water thing varies in the mythos, so I have no clue if our Henry needs it or not.
Margaret said
Ok people, Hallmark is now on board with psychics, wonder if they have a vamp up their sleeve. Found this in Woman’s World
Claire Premiers on the Hallmark Channel/August 4, Valerie Bertinelli stars in this murder myster as a widowed mom with psychic ability.
Is this where we all say whoohaaaaaa?
The trend continues and we’re one day closer to October.

Whoops-should have read murder mystery….

Tango, re: the virus info – you’re welcome.
Lady Afrodyte,
>> I am not a fan of the doubled incisor. I makes the vampires mouth look crowded, if that makes any sense.
I never heard of making teeth look that way until BT came along. However, it’s the same set version that the DRESDEN FILES used with its mythos vampires double fangs on both sides on the mouth. 😉
If anything, it would make more blood squirt out faster (*that* sounds disgusting!), if not make it harder for the person in the role have a harder time wrapping their mouth around someone’s neck in the right spot.
———-
lwildstar,
>> Tango – I’ve noticed the teeth too – in episode one the first time you see Henry in bed with Sandra – you see four puncture marks in her neck – so that fits with the four teeth.
>> I don’t remember if the dead hooker in episode 7 had them – the one Mendoza fed to Delphine…but I think she only had two puncture marks.
I’ve always seen the 4 marks on everyone, but Mike (after Henry bit him.. imagined and the real deal). His collar kind of hid his.. Maybe when Kyle’s teeth hit him, they all figured it was too embarrassing for Dylan and Kyle, so they hid the marks, until the behind-the-scenes DVDs come out.
😛
Tango said
Alisa, well maybe I stand corrected then. I was thinking that a couple of the girls in the clubs only had the two marks. I will have to go research this. But I still agree with Lady A and the mouth seeming crowded. Something I can obviously overlook considering everything else he’s got going for him. 😉
Michael Eklund’s artistic abilities. He mentioned that he actually did the drawing of Coreen in epi one and that he sold some of his stuff on the side. I went back and looked at said picture of Coreen and I must say that it is wicked awesome, and by wicked awesome, I mean totally sweet. Or something to that effect anyway. Wouldn’t it be great if we could commision him to do something? And when I say we, I mean me.

Margaret,
>> Ok people, Hallmark is now on board with psychics, wonder if they have a vamp up their sleeve.
Sci-Fi has always had psychics on its programs. Nothing new there.
USA network has a new series out called “Psych”..
that’s still nothing new. REAL TV type Detective programs have often used psychics; and now its been announced that the military is investigating the use of psychics for various reasons. The Russians have used psychics for decades and done intensive research into that area.
Art Bell and CoastToCoastAM with George Noory have psychics on their radio program almost weekly (definitely monthly).
Probably the trend on HALLMARK probably has nothing to do with vampires (as with Johnny Depp’s DS interest- which I’m curious at where his inspiration was beyond Dan Curtis’ recent passing (Dan Curtis created and produced DARK SHADOWS – the 1960’s version, and helped in producing the 1991 version, too).
My guess is this planet earth of ours is about to have an explosion of psychic and supernatural activity as it has never before experienced. The spiritual warfare out there is intensifying on the same levels as the physical warfare. There’s been historical studies into these things, so its not info just coming of thin air.
(more info in next posting of mine..)

Bloggerinii Mia! I decided to have a contest whether you all want to participate. But I’m not ready to do the one Laurel wants me to do. So here’s the contest for this time. It borders on fanfic but I just love this whole concept.
In episode one, we see Corinne’s boyfriend Ian walking down the street, talking to her about where they are going to go later. He names three clubs: “Funhouse, Savage Garden, The Bovine.” I was more or less okay with the first two but … The Bovine? Soooo….. here’s my contest. I want you to describe The Bovine. Describe the music (and keep in mind that I’m not as up on music as some of you are so links to sites where I might hear a sampling of what you have in mind would be a good thing), the decor, the layout, the lighting, anything that gets your mental image across in words. Extra points may be awarded if you also describe Savage Garden and the Funhouse. May be. Depends entirely upon my mood. (I’m the judge. I can be arbitrary if I want to be. LOL!) Extra points, too, if you believably explain why the Nervosa Club has a sign reading “Silver Dollar Room.”
I’ll set up a new topic for you to post the descriptions in. I’m not judging on style, per se. I’m judging on how convincing you are. I’m really looking forward to finding out what The Bovine is all about!
I’m dog-sitting a kinda sick dog this weekend and they don’t have a computer at that house so I won’t be around much but I’ll do what I can. I spent a lot of today shopping for stuff to clean up their kitchen floor (DON’T ASK!) and finally came home to take a nap and check in online. Think nice thoughts for me, willya?
Oh, on a different topic, I checked that scene in the diner. His lips aren’t chapped. They are more matte than usual for Henry. It’s possible Kyle had licked his lipstick off. (No I’m NOT making nancy-boy jokes about Kyle. His makeup almost certainly involves lipstick of some kind…)
I’ve been listening to the Dresden Files on CD in my car (I have a killer commute…) and I’m starting to think Henry needs a long, leather duster. I can’t explain why.

continued (from my previous posting)
re: Psychic energy // beings, etc.
and actually, it was strange listening to George Noory on the radio the night of his Ouiji board experiment (I’m intrigued in hearing how THAT whole thing turned out). George was interviewing some guy who was experiencing spiritual warfare of the WORST kind just for mentioning the experiment in recent weeks. He said the attacks were definitely *demonic* in nature (more known as Murphy’s LAW, but a relative was involved in a serious accident and died).
Christians (especially, the power praying born-again Christian) need to be praying against those forces. The reason why I say this is because I’m just so amazed that people like Kyle and many of you here sound like you ARE that praying type of person. The stronger the prayers and angelic shields go up, the stronger the forces of darkness fight against the GOOD side. I’ve spent over 25 years studying spiritual warfare, and this is true in every single case I’ve heard, and actually experienced within my own life.
Encounters with these other dimensions are God’s territory and that of the interdimensional angels // beings who can walk in both the physical (human- hands on) dimension and the invisible (because humans with their non-supernatural vision cannot see the other dimensions); and *faith* will help guide each person (being prayed for) get thru the fog..
I can’t help but think of that nasty-little (demonically devastating) storm that hit our area the week these blogs were discussing “ghosts”. I actually saw a power line get hit (nice, pretty colors came out after, too!). But another oddity occurred a short distance away as well.
Some guy was driving his truck thru a traffic light intersection, just as lightening hit a tree, that snapped in half breaking the traffic light pole in half, and that came smack down on this guy’s truck just as he was passing under it. He managed to escape unscathed. I’m not sure how badly damaged his truck was. But that was a WICKED storm, and–
I do NOT mean *totally SWEET..! *eek!!!*
demonic in nature and very, very NASTY.
Everyone in that town lost power .. our generator didn’t even work (something got burned inside it, and not sure what caused that). But the folks in a nearby town got to watch from a safe distance — a *fantastic* “Lightening” show from nature itself.. 😉

OOOOooo! is that a long, leather Coat?? 😉
*snicker*
as for the chapped lips.. I saw that too — same scene, most likely.
He probably did chew off the lipstick, even if a clear variety was used.
I’ve dabbled with make-up, so I’m a little bit familiar with some things that are used ..and when powder is used on faces.. so the lights for the cameras aren’t so over-poweringly shiny on the skin.. of course, I did admire Kyle’s *OOooh so SOFT* — *ivory* soap skin face in the first bed scene with Vicki – it’s most noticeable when she runs her hand across his cheeks.
It’s best seen here (with the light from somewhere above)
in Henry’s “Oh. My. Gods.” worthy photo!!
Margaret said
Lady A: Didn’t Tanya say that her vamps only drank water? So we know that the production has already departed by that by having Henry eat olives. Maybe we will see him cook later? We all know he’s smokin (I’m sorry, it was just too easy not to). At least we know he has salt, even if he doesn’t have a kitchen.
AlisaSG said
Margaret,
>> At least we know he has salt, even if he doesn’t have a kitchen.
maybe he has one of those kitchenettes that you see in some motel efficiency apartment rooms.
That house my hubby and I were in had one of those 3-in-one kitchen units that are usually installed on larger yachts and probably motor home units (the nice ones that are used for traveling around the country..).
Plus, I think the kitchen was a converted 8 foot wide by 10 foot long, bedroom! (yes, it was THAT tiny!) My husband’s old bedroom was bigger than THAT..!! Oh, and my kitchen table was a 5 feet by 5 feet, solid countertop unit – not much room to maneuver chairs around when the room was only 8 feet wide in that corner.. I’ve seen college dorm rooms that size!
(did I miss my parents *humongous* 15×15 kitchen..) 😦
anyway, the 3-in-one kitchenette unit had a little sink, 2 stove top (electric) burners, and a mini-fridge with only enough freezer to stick ice packs in — You get to see those in some motel rooms, now. Yup, the owners expected us to use that to sustain our living habits..! Believe me, I protested and wanted at least to bring in my 2-year old, brand new 18 cubic foot fridge/freezer. WWI lights, too, my foot!
Oh yeah, and my kitchen work counter space?? Hah! I had to use my own kitchen table for that. It was a sad apartment set-up for us, but for Henry, it might work (better), especially if he only needs it occasionally — for his dinner dates.. 😀
Madonna said
Good evening everyone! How are y’all?
11 WEEKS FROM TONIGHT we’ll have new blood. How are we ever gonna make it? Speaking of Kyle, if you have the STARZ package on DirectTV, the Covenant has several showings the next few days, starting at 12am ET tonight.
I’m glad to see that there has been a little activity on here. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with everyone or that all the hens have fled the coop.
As for me I think I’ve got the voodoo bug now. I’ve got a little bit of a scratchy throat and just no git up and go.
Does anyone find it strange that we’ve got Johnny Depp in Elder Hostel and now he is going to do a vamp movie. Just exactly who is watching this board?
How’s this for the jerk of the day….. My 8yr old niece’s father left her alone for the first time today and didn’t even tell here where he went. Then when he got back he lied to her and told her he wasn’t gone he just had to move the car. Harley called up here panicking and my mom rushed on down to their apartment. When she got there the A-hole was already back. As you can probably tell there is no love loss between he and I. We’re civil to each other, but at least on my end, I don’t like to be around him anymore than I have to be.
He is getting ready to turn fifty. When I first met him at sixteen he hit on me. About 3 years later he hooked up with my sister and she got pregnant. For the first 3 years of my niece’s life he wanted nothing to do with her, then out of the blue he pops up one day. Everyone except my sister still believes that by doing so he was hoping to have the child support dropped. He is an alcoholic and has a serious gambling addiction.

My mother canned some of her home-grown tomatoes today. I really don’t like raw tomatoes but I love them when she uses her canned tomatoes to make homemade vegetable soup. By far my favorite thing she makes. It’s different because she uses a tomato base instead of a broth. I just love it!

Heart of Ice – episode 1×07 is finally up on BloodTiesCentral

lots of photos…
still waiting for HEART OF FIRE photos.
..hope whoever is working on those hurries in time for the new folks coming in from the other countries (outside of the U.S.A.)
anywho.. hears the trivia surrounding the question on the 2 puncture wounds–
Direct QUOTE from bloodtiescentral.com:
{Mike says “Listen – I have a body with two puncture wounds” – we’ve just seen a close-up showing four puncture wounds.}
possible solution in resolving that — it may be either Dylan messed up the lines with the traditional vampire comment (from other movies), and it wasn’t caught until NOW??
or the writers wrote it in – forgetting that there were 4 marks instead of the traditional 2..
or .. Mike meant “2 sets of the 2” vampire teeth puncture wounds, which is the way I understood it the first time he said it.
Kyle’s double fanged-tooth set are clearly visible as two separate sets of teeth as seen during the
intro theme video (of season one) at–
http://bloodties.tv/main.html
yes, the web site is working again..! However, I didn’t see anything new or different on there. So, if TPTB are working on it, they’ve got less than a month before the first Canadian broadcast date comes up. (I looked under their Links link, and didn’t see any new web links to other stations or countries in there.)
Anzia said
Johnny Depp’s in a VAMP movie? REALLY!? I really missed something there. *ponders* I wonder if there will be a scene with him and his leading lady in one of the changing tents on the beach. ‘Cause if so, I’ve SO totally already seen that scene! ^_^ (yay for good dreams)
Thanks for the support guys. My family isn’t the most understanding bunch and most of them don’t like Stephanie already so for me to try and explain all this would just be a mess. I’d really like to contact him but I don’t have that information.

Bonsoir mes amis merveilleux!
I am back..still the same…just a little more battered and bruised(mentally)
first off I’d like to thank all of you for the prayers..the emails..and all your words of encouragement…I truly have found family here…I hope all of you are okay…especially you LH!!! I’m just to tired to read through everything right now…but I gather congratulations are in order for Z girl!!!
Okay…I won’t make you all suffer any longer….I found a house on Craigs list the other day..in my town…when I looked up the address…it was right around the corner!!! I had emailed so many people on Craigs list and no one had answered..I didn’t even think I’d get a response…but I did…and a bunch of pictures…that blew me away.Anyway the price was two thousand more than I pay here,but my kids..especially Chris…said he would throw in six hundred more a month…so I said what the hay…maybe I’ll try it.
So,I saw it today,I loved it! wood burning fireplace…large deck..back yard..5 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths…and it’s a single family…not an attached townhouse like I have now…Signed the lease…gave my deposit…MOVING IN ON THE 1ST!!!!
Does dance of joy!!! 😛
Mr.Riverson can kiss my French Âne !!!!!
Oh and my babies….stay in their beloved school!!!!!
So I’ll pop in whenever I get a chance in between trying to pack up a house in 4 days! I did all of the living room and part of the kitchen tonight.
Je t’aime tous tellement …Bonne nuit mes amis…rêves doux !!!
Finally…to sleep..with good worries!
Claire said
OOps not two thousand more…see what no sleep does…seven hundred more.I pay 1243.00 now the new one is 1900.00.
Okay seriously Bonne Nuit!
AlisaSG said
WOW!! Claire, that’s EXCELLENT news.. 😀
see what the power of prayer does??
Hoping everything works out much better and as smoothly as possible.
May your angels continue to guard and watch over you and your *precious* ones!
*GODSPEED* .. too!! 😉
Anzia said
Mama Claire! I’m so glad to hear that! ^_^ No one deserved what your a$$ of a landlord did, least of all you! *thinks evil thought about the man* Grrr. And thank you for the congrads. 🙂 It seems that I was the only one who had a bit of doubt about me getting the job. But, if you know me, that’s not a surprising thing.
Tango said
Claire – I join you in your dance of joy! ( does a litlle cabbage patch and running man around the room)
Positive thoughts, positive energy, positive results! You did feel it!
I must say good night because I can’t see through my eyelids and there’s no telling what I might type with them shut.
Madonna – I am still thinking about my crest, I haven’t forgotten. Will probably use my family crest and tweak it just a bit.
Tango said
Oh, before I go…
Watched Flicka tonight. Good story, bad filming. Most of the shots cut the people’s heads off when they were shooting dialog. I can’t believe they let that go to print. I would have been ticked off if I had paid to see that in the theater.
Done with rant – good night!
msgypsy said
Claire, WHOOT!!!!! I just KNEW something good was going to happen for you. YAY that it did!
I discovered another show to distract me while I wait for October. It’s an old one, too, called “Jeremiah” and it used to be on Showtime. I used to have a crush on Luke
Perry (did any of you ever see the original “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie, the one with Kristy Swanson?) Plus it was created by the unspellable J. Michael Strazinski, who also created, produced, and wrote almost all of the worlds of “Babylon Five” which is my first love (and which would explain why I’m a Minx if I didn’t think it was already self-evident…) so I’m pretty happy. Still watching a BT ep a day on the Lifetime site (I watched two today!) but at least I have something to distract me…
msgypsy said
Oh, I just watched “Blood and Chocolate,” too. Good movie. No vampires but I think that’s okay under the circumstances. Although I was kind of sorry for one of the deaths that I think the audience was supposed to be glad for. I’m just weird that way…
Laurel said
Claire – I’m so happy for you. I know the anxiety of such a situation must be especially hard on you little ones in school. Moonbeam and I said prayers specifically that they wouldn’t have to change schools. Continued blessings, my dear!
I spent the day with Moonbeam and my folks. We even saw a quilt made by Elizabeth’s mom! She does lovely work. 🙂
Gypsy – sorry to hear about your dog-sitting being such a challenge. I am sending good thoughts your direction. I already have an idea for the Bovine, now I just have to figure out the best way to get it to you.
Well, I get to leave for the airport in about a half-hour. My Sarah is coming in from the mid-west after being gone for 10 days and I sure have missed her! She’s never been away from us this long but I think she had a good time.
Laurel said
Good night! We are headed off to pick up the girl! I hope her plane is still on time.
Sweet dreams.
Lady Afrodyte said
Hooray Claire! I am super happy that you found a new home and that it’s so close to your old one. Moving schools sucks, trust me, I know.
Madonna, I hurt my wrist a few days ago and it is still giving me problems. I’ve been trying to take it easy, but in doing that the house is falling apart around me!
*sigh*
Anzia said
Ms.gypsy- I too saw “Blood & Chocolate.” While I liked the movie, I was more in love with the lead man. *purrs* WOW! ^_^ And i own the original Buffy. I love that thing! I had a crush on Luke Perry when I was younger. I look back fondly on those years (I was pretty caught up in the whole 90210 Kelly or Brenda debate–KELLY!). But everytime I watch that movie I renew my love for the man. He definitely looks good! ^_^
LA- Are you wearing an Ace bandage or anything on your wrist? I have a brace for mine but before I got it I found that wearing an Ace Bandage really helped since it kept it slightly less mobile. 🙂
I’m on the verge of going crazy. My crocheting isn’t cooperateing with me tonight and I really don’t have the patience to make it. Grrr… stupid yarn with a mind of it’s own. Who told it it could do that? ‘Cause I sure didn’t! *mumbles about evil yarn out to destroy what little peace there is to be had*…
Lady Afrodyte said
I try to keep it wrapped, but after so long it starts to bug me so I take it off for a couple of hours.
msgypsy said
Laurel, silly, I have a blog topic set up for you to post your Bovine description! (I know you’re just dying for me to do the contest we talked about but I don’t want to waste it. I’m testing how many people actually want to participate in a fanfic contest like this.)
Shelby (the dog I’m taking care of) seemed to have been kind of sick this morning but this evening she was fine, even nagged me for treats. So I just now got home. Chasing someone else’s dog around the house trying to get her to go outside instead of beg for more treats is not my favorite experience. But she gave me a lot of slurpies later. And now I’m home with Faraday the Almost Bald and it’s bedtime… Tomorrow I’m going hiking so when I get home I may be TOO DAMN TIRED to post but I’ll try.
Lady Afrodyte said
Thats why you take the treats outside as a bribe!
Anzia said
I have a question about the contest. How serious is this description supposed to be? ‘Cause the picture that I get when I think of “The Bovine” might not be as plausable/serious as you might want it to be. Any requirement?
Lady Afrodyte said
I think I’ll refrain from the contest… lol that first thing that popped in my mind was not kind in the least!
Anzia said
It can’t be nearly as bad as mine. Seriously, it alternates from disgusting to just plain freaky depending on which details I’m omitting in my head. Have I mentioned my very odd personality and penchance for non-sequitor mental images? Or just completely off the wall mental images in general. Over active imaginations can be very interesting at times. ^_^
Lady Afrodyte said
My third eye is nearly blind after a conversation with a few fans over at Sherrilyn Kenyon’s chat.
Too many fantasies about hot guys. Oh my!
Anzia said
Really? Hmmmm *ponders the wonders of hot guys and fantasies*…. who’s your fav Hunter?
She used to have a Dark-Hunter of the month and the guys she had pose for the pics! OMG! Those things make the photo of Dylan on the bed look amateurish. Unfortunately she got rid of all the pics on her site. Those things DEFINITELY made your day a bit brighter!

Claire: Congratulations, I am soooo happy for you. I can’t wait for Christmas for you, when you can hang all those stockings on your fireplace. I live in Florida and even though I don’t use it that much I wanted a fireplace. There just something about seeing stockings on a fireplace mantle that really brings Christmas home. But alas, it will just be me and my dog’s stockings this year, unless I can move before then. lol.
Seriously, it really sounds nice and I’m so glad the ordeal is over for you. Now your babies can settle down and stop being so stressed right along with you.
Tango said
Good morning my BT sistas and brothas!
Madonna – sent you an email about the crest. Evidently I am having problems again when people reply to the address, so Anzia figured out if you will just reply, take out the address and type the address back in, that this will work. However if you just start a new one, that works as well. I’ve tried explaining this problem to the tech support guys with examples to show them and they can’t figure out the problem. So, until I have a chance to totally wipe out the account and start again, I will have to live with the problem.
Moonbeam – have fun on holiday! I’m not familiar with Victoria (if it’s the beach or the mtns or what), but I hope you get a lot of R & R.
Have a great day everyone!
msgypsy said
Oh, heavens, The Bovine? Serious? Heavens, NO! I can’t imagine there’s any way to do a serious description of a club called The Bovine. Go for it, silly, nasty, other-wordly, I don’t care. I think there’s extra points for making me laugh so hard my co-workers notice.
Sorry I didn’t make that clear enough.
Claire, still doing the happy dance for you. And your current landlord? Needs a kick in the pants. Not saying what part of the pants.
Well, I’m off to check up on (and most likely clean up after) Shelby. And then to a state park that opened two weeks ago to explore the great wilds of Vernonia. (In Portland, so far as I can tell, all roads lead to Vernonia, which is just this little town in the Coast Range that has no distinguishing characteristic than that it seems to appear on every distance and direction road sign.)
Oh, “Macbeth in Minutes” is on again, in two weeks. Now I’m starting to get mild stage fright…

I am so happy for you Claire!
Especially since it is just around the corner, and your children can attend the same school!
Best wishes on the move to a much better house!
Rifkind said
Claire,
I am adding my **Happy Dance** to the others.
I’m so glad that this worked out for you.
We have been very worried about your situation.
Remember back a bit when you were having the Printer ghost?
I think that it is a good time for you to move out of there. I wonder if that house is going to have an electrical fire or be hit by lightening or something.. It is just a feeling I have, after re-thinking about some of your previous posts.
I’m so pleased to hear that you are able to stay in the same school. You’ve only been there for a year, and it has to be hard on the kids to change schools again.
Hugs to you and yours.. and always remember that your Blogkin have your back!

Hey,
If there are any TPTB reading this, and are casting from our Elder Hostel.. (Ala the Johnny Depp stuff above)

QUOTE:
>> John Alexander, a former Green Beret, … was also a champion of the government’s now defunct “Remote Viewing” program, which, until its termination in 1995, sought to use psychics in the service of national security. Today, he continues to advise the military and frequently writes on national security issues.
PARTIAL INTERVIEW QUOTE:
>> Danger Room: So, tell me about the witches [who were brought into the Remote Viewing program].
>> John Alexander: It was a group of women. They were not doing remote viewing. They were doing palmistry, crystal ball kinds of stuff. This was very different from the guys who were the remote viewers, who were following very strict protocols.
>> DR: Then who were the witches?
>> JA: They were more like storefront psychics.
…
>> DR: Were the witches successful?

Rifkind,
>> Claire,
>> Remember back a bit when you were having the Printer ghost?
>> I think that it is a good time for you to move out of there. I wonder if that house is going to have an electrical fire or be hit by lightening or something.. It is just a feeling I have, after re-thinking about some of your previous posts.
and that printer problem was one of the stories that started the whole cycle of other bizarre phenomena that same week (with the demonic storm that hit my employers property with the power lines).

as for landlords getting their just desserts–
here’s a sad, but true story (still ongoing, too)
we heard of a home-owner renting out their huge house to a wonderful couple with a baby. Well, since the house was turned into a multiple family (apartment) home, the one neighbor didn’t like the nice neighbor.. so she made all sorts of complaints to the landlord (BTW, her teenager son was accused of sexually assaulting the little girl across the street, and that’s why this “mom” didn’t like the nice neighbor..).
So, the landlord pushed the rent up $1500 higher than it already was. Everyone in the house ended up moving out, and who came in – but a welfare family. Because the state was paying for this family’s services, the landlord couldn’t push them out after rumors of drug ring being operated within the home and added basically a bordello for teenagers and young adults moved in. It’s a revolving door of parties – last few years, some in and out all night long. The place is a mess – literally, with garbage everywhere.
None of the families inside clean up whatever the “sanitation engineers” (garbage men) toss into the garbage trucks. So, whatever falls out of their bags and gets blown by the wind into someone else’s yard, the persons who aren’t the original owners of that garbage ends up picking up the trash instead.
It’s a totally disgusting situation. But who’s really paying for the damages? Not the landlord, except in legal hassles and aggravation (and only when the STATE agencies are forced to intervene), but the rest of the neighborhood itself. 😦

I might comment to Danger Room that he SAID they weren’t witches. Why did the interviewer continue to call them witches?
Sorry. Just a little sensitive on the subject.
And I’m off to get dressed and discover the real Vernonia. (This is a big joke among some of us…)

Good Afternoon Family…
Thank you all my fabulous family!!!!
I think all your positive thoughts and love made this happen!!!!!
Because it really was weird…I was on Craigs list all day…tired of all the ads…I got up got a drink of water and when I sat back down…I closed my eyes…and said..Please God…started looking at the same list and saw my a house in my town…I was like…WTF…that wasn’t there before..unless I missed it cause I was so tired.And here we are…Now can anybody tell me how to pack up a 5 bedroom house in 4 days? I seriously am in need of sleep..but I have to finish this up!Anyway Prtfvr…How about a pin to the Ane…LOL…you pin…Ms.Gypsy can kick!!!!
And you know what…Karma exists…what goes around really does come around….I’ve seen it happen.
I also think those of you who thought that something was going to happen here…are correct.We have been seeing alot of activity…it doesn’t scare me…cause my family have been sensitive that way forever…but it’s been on the rise…and I know we can’t all be going crazy at the same time…even one of the quads said he saw something.
Anyway..off for more packing and cleaning…see yas later!
XOXOXO

Claire~ I am soooooo happy for you! A new home a fresh start & the kids get to stay in their school !
As for ex-landlord, Karma will come home to roost. You may never see it, but just knowing it will bite him in the A$$ one day is enough…
Sorry I wasn’t around last night we had horrible storms, and I didn’t want to risk it – plus I’ve been feeling alittle out of sorts. I haven’t written or read anything in two days – had a wonderful day out with mom yesturday and then got in a, well not a fight, but a disagreement with her this morning.
We were going to go out for breakfast since dad is on one of his diving trips – anyway she saw my postcards sitting on the counter (so I dont for get to take them to mail tomorrow) and asked me just how much money I’ve put in to this “silly show”…I told her that one I’m an adult and that if this makes me happy, and I’m not hurting financially, its my right…..besides the profits from the Blood Moon jewelry paid for the first lot of cards. and 2 at least I’m not spening $100s of $ on “toys” like my sister and then struggling to pay the mortgag. Well that didn’t sit well with her. Actualy I don’t think the whole blog thing sits well with her. She doesn’t understand that I have friends here and that we are like a family. Shes afraid of, i don’t know the whole anonomus (sp) aspect – “you don’t know who your talking to”….I’m not even going to try and exsplain it to her – and lets say we didn’t go to breakfast. oh well.
Hoping to have lunch with Paul tomorrow so I have something to look foward to…..and thats a good thing.
Trying to get the laptop my sister sent me up and running, but i just dont seem to have the energy today.
Clair – again Congratulations – I think things are looking up for you – sometimes you just have to hit the bottom first…..(((((HUGS)))))))

msgypsy,
>> I might comment to Danger Room that he SAID they weren’t witches. Why did the interviewer continue to call them witches?
probably because that’s the most term most often used for anyone associated in having occultic-like powers or psychic link connections to the supernatural (or the world that transcends beyond the understanding of *normal* science and logic).
It’s sort of weird listening to people constantly operating in terms LOGIC — they utterly deny that the the supernatural world even exists (that’s the world that people cannot see with their physical vision, but can *perceive* from their “intuitive” senses). And arguing with them about real situations happening and thousands of coincidences occurring is folly to them. They simply don’t believe it, even when it happens right in front of their own faces / or they’ve experienced it personally, and still deny it being caused by something beyond understanding or a higher being being in control – in one way or another.
So, it’s more a matter of name labeling *convenience* than comprehensive understanding. To most people who aren’t familiar with the various levels of various “religions” / beliefs in our world, they resort to OLD world historical terminology, instead of modernized “21st century (A.D/A.C.E.)” ones.
In science, unless such (interdimensional) “realities” can be scientifically and logically explained away, it basically falls under 2 categories – that of “spiritual religions” or “witchcraft”, which some branches of Wiccans consider the whole “witchcraft” term being a different *religion* than what Wiccans do. (What is the difference between the *good* witches on Tv’s “Charmed” series from what a Wiccan does.. is it just an erroneous term used or part of science/fantasy not knowing who is really what?)
What amazes me in Blood Ties is seeing the whole HEART OF FIRE inquisition routine from Mendoza with Henry. Henry was obviously innocent, and just caught because of being a vampire.. but Mendoza stretched it beyond all of that into services of the devil.. and ordered Henry to confess his “sins”.. yet Mendoza never told Henry what Henry did to warrant the torture, until after Henry was ready to break his chains.
I just loved it when Henry yelled back at Mendoza–
“YOU FIRST!!!!!!!!!” 😛
😉
anyways.. I also came across several articles this morning defining the difference between Harry Potter’s involvement with magic and how some persons interpret it as opening the doors to witchcraft. Didn’t think anyone here would really want to read those.. they were even worse – sort of discussed the same stuff most of us here were talking about in the last blog before this one started.
maybe someone else has more info on the terminology labels used?
PS.. my mom used to tease my dad into believing she was a *white witch*, following the term Sybil Leek (sp??) lived as. My dad was an agnostic more than a real Christian (we were raised Catholic, so such practices are often *tolerated* in the Catholic Church, but NOT in the more born-again, fundamental Churches). whatever my mom was at heart and spirit, I’ve inherited her side of the family’s ability to *sense* the other dimensions and living beings from within those realms.
and THAT I know is NOT witchcraft.. instead, it’s something that has become termed as a person being *spirit-sensitive*. 😉

>> whatever my mom was at heart and spirit, I’ve inherited her side of the family’s ability to *sense* the other dimensions and living beings from within those realms.
..
>> instead, it’s something that has become termed as a person being *spirit-sensitive*. 😉
just a footnote..
the more fundamental, born-again Churches accept persons who are gifted in as being “spirit-sensitive”. They do not accept anything darker, if the intentions involve (various “entertainments” as such things are now labeled) the no-no’s of Deuteronomy that Moses (and Paul later admonished) said were of the devil in origin.
So, when does the fine line difference in GOD’s own eyes define at what point a person has actually crossed the no-no barrier of understanding, and treading the fence, so to speak in the devil’s darker domain??
I’m not going to answer this myself, because I’ve been thru it, and seen when God has made an absolute and CLEAR NO. Sometimes, it happens when in sharing these things with other Christians who oppose programs like BLOOD TIES (and *CHARMED* if anyone is caught watching that one too, even just to watch the *pretty* girls acting..), well, that’s when and where some of the troubles of baggage comes in.. it’s in having a lack of *faith* on my part that “GOD” (the one I firmly believe in) cannot help me without the assistance of the harder cored, fundamental Christian who I know opposes watching those shows.
I think the lesson there was learning a lack of *faith* on my part, and because of that, the other person would be praying for terrible things to happen within my life – if reading books by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro or watching Tv shows – dealing with the mystical magic/fantasy realms were ever discovered within my life.. I’ve put that theory to the test, and so far, it’s proven TRUE – that it was my lack of *faith* that God wasn’t strong enough to help me praying on my own.. which in a way, is contrary to what Jesus himself, taught.. “when you pray, go into your closet..” (imaginary prayer closet, if that helps make the visual description make better sense).

ok, it seems that I am being dragged to the store. I will be back this evening.

Wow, in a way I guess I’m lucky on the religious front – neither of my parents are very religious and well I guess I grew up not looking towards “organized” religion in anyway. My dad – well his mother was removed from the church (not sure thats the right phase) because she married a man who was not of the same religion – I know my grandfather was constantly making remarks about the Catholic chruch being “evil” ….but being as he was of Irish decent I just figured well that was how he had been brought up. So he had very little relegious influence in his life, and My mom was raised basically Christian, but only insisted that my sister and I attened Sunday school as children so that we would at least have a basic understanding.
As we got older and started asking questions – our parents said that it was our choice what we wanted to believe. In college I even took a religious course just to get an understanding of “what was out there”.. Even visited different churches, temples, etc. with friends…and nothing felt right. In time I guess you could say I found a more spiritul path with out having to follow any church – my dad jokes that I am a witch (now you can t replace the w with a b and probably be closer 🙂 ) any who he even bought me a talisman of protection after I was mugged so that nothing like that would ever happen to me again – and one year he bought my sister and I each silver tarot card pendants (my is The Star)….and I read the tarot so it fit. He and I have had many interesting religious discussion, from the out side looking in, but I think if not for his openness I wouldn’t have had the freedom to find myself…I have always gotten the impression that my mom wished I had taken a different path, but has never said anything. She just shakes her head alot.
Neither of my parents know I’m sensitive to “the other world” and such – they just think my fasination with ghosts and the paranormal is “interesting”, but they don’t understand it.
I guess thats why I refuse to dissus religion with Paul – he is so set inon his path that he really has a hard time understanding my veiws – not that he says they are wrong – he just doen’t understand where I’m coming from.
And non of them understand my facination and obession with Blood Ties – so I’ll just have to deal with that.
Oh well there goes the thunder again so I should get off the computer.
Have a good night ladies.
Hugs to every one!
AlisaSG said
hmmmmm, should I also make note that while I was writing up the info yesterday about that nasty weather phenomenon a few weeks ago being demonic in nature, I was keeping an eye on the weather radar — most of the time I was writing that note yesterday.. heard a few rumbles of thunder in the nearby distance, but went against the forces of whatever was out there, and continued typing (I prayed too, the whole time, to keep the storm at bay, until I was done!).. Well, here’s the results of that BIZARRE experience..
there was a “system” that grew up around our area, and blew up into almost a storm – it reached the “orange” radar levels, until I was done and posted. Strangely, the so-called storm over our area, suddenly dwindled away into the lighter green shades and vanished..
I call that *WEIRD*.. BIZARRE, if nothing else makes better sense.
.. and for reinforcement – there’s another one slowly growing to the west of our area, and heading our way — it’s turning into the RED weather radar zone shades, so that means shutting off the computer.. 😉
uh-huh.. somethings out there (from those other dimensions) just don’t like getting exposed.. and (me) having a migraine on top of all this doesn’t help the situation, either.. 😀

If his mom was Catholic, it’s termed “Excommunication”..
Otherwise, if it’s a protestant Church, I have no idea what it’s called (probably something like *shunned* or ostracized).
TTYL..! 😀

I do. And it’s difficult for me to explain why I bother watching it, to other people too, so I just don’t say anything to them. It’s pointless getting into huge debates, especially when Henry is a vampire who still has strong beliefs in serving a *Christian* God.
Try explaining that to a real, born-again Christian, and I guarantee it’ll wrap the wrong way around their brains! (as in *YIKES!!*). On the other extreme, I find it quite intriguing — especially, when I was writing a story about a vampire who fell in love with a Christian — and she couldn’t explain it to the Christian family she was living with at the time. 😉
lwildstar said
AlisaSG – even my cousin who I have recently “turned” and is my partner in crime when it comes to the paranormal has difficulty understanding me… and as far as exsplaining to someone who is religious – Paul really can’t wrap his mind around the whole vampire aspect…I remember him askin gif I believed that “such things” were real…I said – “why not?” I loved the look on his face!
And my story has the main charactor falling in love with demon – what would be the religious implications of that?
Damn I wish the weather would make up its mind…the storm pased and now its back. boom boom boom
I think I am going to have to stay off for a while – everytime I get online the thunder starts up! I think someone wants me to go clean the house and stop playing!
Talk at you later!
lwildstar said
AlisaSG – forgot to say I think grandma was Catholic and Grandpa was Protistant……..So I guess she was excommunicated.
I know da has always said that in the eyes of the “church” he and his brother didnt exist….So I wonder what that would mean to my sister and I?
All Right already! Geeezzz now the power is bliping!
I guess I really need to go do some house work! and then I’ll go read.
I need to work on my writing, but the battery on the laptop wont hold a charge, so I guess thats out tonight.

ok also she was Polish and he was Irish.
For some reason I just can’t get my thoughts straight….oh well.
Now I’m logging off!

LA- Ach’s eyes are his best feature! ^_^ I LOVE those things. I”ll definitely have to look for the DHotM. I am a total Hunter fan! They’re my fav “vampire” books (even though they aren’t really vamps).
Claire- YAY! (((Hugs))) m’dear! You’ll get it done. You could turn it into a game for your kids. Set up teams and give each team a room and have them go at it for a while. Then, judge to see how has the most packed and efficiently. Which would be a tie and everyone could have ice cream. ^_^ Or, not… don’t know… just an idea. Good Luck!

How is everyone this evening?
I almost got scammed today. I opened up an email that said it was from AOL and that they wanted me to update my account info or my service would be terminated in 24 hrs. I started filling out the form but then I noticed that the page it took me to was not secure. So I called AOL up and they said everthing with my account is fine.
Claire,
I so happy everything worked out for you! You had lots of prayer from everyone on here working in your favor. And might I add about Chris….. That’s one hell of a boy you’ve got there! You raised him right.
Lady A,
Ouch! Sorry about that wrist! Take care of it.
LadyA,
Anzia,
My favortie Dark Hunter is Vane. I think it is because he fell madly in love with Bride who was a size 18. That’s powerfully attractive to me. My least favorite, I’d have to say Wren. I’d love to meet the man on the cover of “The Dream Hunter”, OMG….. Those eyes!
AlisaSG,
Thanks hon for the well wishes. I’m feeling a little better today.
lwildstar,
My mother is almost as big a fan of Blood Ties as I am. Almost! She has been making out postcards with me, but the other day she said she was not going to make out any more. In her words… If they’re going to make another season, they’ll make another season. If not, they won’t. I don’t think she gets the blog for herself, but I think she has come to understand what it means to me. She knows how lonely I’ve been and she knows that I need the contact with others desperately even if it is only on here.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I’ve been hard at work on the Elder Hostel logos and costume illustrations. Long way to go still. Anzia’s is almost done. So far I’ve got Anzia’s, Elizabeth’s, Rifkind’s, Tango’s, Himmiefan’s, Margaret’s and Danielle’s. I’ve recently discovered that alot of my mail has been going to the spam folder and I don’t check that as often as I should, so if you’ve sent me yours and I didn’t mention your name please send it again. It may have gotten deleted. Sorry and thanks in advance.
Madonna said
Oh and might I add, you gals sure do have a thing for leather!!!
Anzia said
Madonna- shhhh, you weren’t supposed to tell 😉 I do love Vane for that… well that and I have a BIG thing for wolves! So, yeah… totally dig the weres. It’s because of the little things in those books that make me love the male characters so much. Kyrian, love him because of what he does when he picks Amanda up from work. OMG! I SOOO wanted to see her slimy fiance’s face! Not to mention the whole scene with the whipped cream, honey…. OH MY GOD I don’t think I closed my mouth for a week! *giggles* It is quite possible that I owe my LOVELY sense of humor and imagination to that scene. ^_^ But my all time fav is still, and will always be, Zarek. Devil on a snowmobile!
Lady Afrodyte said
I saw a show a week or so ago about Alaska. I stopped to watch it and thought of Zarek the entire time.

Well the latest set of storms have passed so I thought I would check in and see whats up.
Madonna – I wish my mom would take an intrest in the things I like…you’re lucky! At least you have someone to split up your postcards duties with 😉 .
oh and I’ll have to email you my costume and logo design – I think I may have actuall drawings around here somewhere…
I managed to get some writing in and now I think I’m going to go read for a while.
Hoping my postcards show up tomorrow so I can get started on them!.
Night everyone!
lwildstar said
well my post disappeared….Oh well, its been that kind of a day
Modanna – you’re lucky your mom shares your interest – and you get to split the postcards duites!
Oh and I need to email you my costume design – I think I may actually ahve a drawing around here.
Well I forgot what else I wrote – so if it shows up it shows up.
Hopefully my postcards I ordered show up tomorrow so i can get started on them!
Night all!

Well what do you know…there it is.
Ok the ghost in the machine again!

Hello my Bloggeratti, sorry I’m checking in so late. Long day yesterday at the Arena Bowl Extravaganza, we were there from about 4:00 till about midnight last night and then they shot off fireworks over the river (MS.) after the concerts. STYX ROCKED!!! they were here back in Feb. I think they played at the Endymion Extravzaganza (parade organ.) so they like it here and have been really good to N.O. from the Katrina thing. And Tommy Shaw a native Alabama boy is a good southern boy (I love him, too cool 😎 ) .
Gypsy, the thing about Savage Garden etc, when Ian was talking on phone to Coreen, I thought those were bands. I think Savage Garden is a band but I could be totally wrong. I could only skim through so I may need some clarification on what the contest is about. Sorry I’m slow today.
Anyway my poor Rob had another seizure today they’ve been kicking his butt lately and in turn kicks ours (he’s 6’1 and about 190#) a force to be reckoned with. Logan’s stressing over his dad having these seisures, trying to let him know it’s ok but when you’re only 6 everything seems larger and scarier (sp). We’ll be good though.
Claire, j’ai su que Dieu bénirait vous et votre famille merveilleuse.
I’m so glad everything worked out so well. See God is good, and so are you, he didn’t want ya’ll to stay in that house. He sent evil landlord so you could leave there. If he leads you to it….he’ll get you through it. SO happy for ya’ll 🙂 😉 🙂
Well guys I’m pooped got my pc’s to mail out tomorrow and will try and finish the rest of this 100 and dole some out each day.
Bonne nuit et rêves doux d’Henry.
XOXOXOXOXO LUV YA’LL and chat w/ya tomorrow………Elisabeth

Buenos noches Beth! Sounds like you have burned the candle at both ends this weekend.
I know Claire is pretty much exhausted, too. I hope you all get a good night’s sleep and come back to join us here tomorrow.
I start Vacation Bible School tomorrow. I almost have my crafts ready to go.
I guess I belong to an odd group of Christians, there are quite a few of us who watch Blood Ties and read loads of paranormal stuff. The Harry Potter book will be a prime topic during the week, and most of us will enjoy talking about that as one of the summer’s highlights. Like Hagrid says in book one “Well, you get weirdos in every group.” 🙂

Okay for all the french speakers & Friends fans:

Merci tellement Beth… je crois également au ce qui notre Kyle a dit.
I am pooped as well! I may not look almost 49…but my back is sure feeling that way! LOL!!
Well Living room,dining room,part of the kitchen,and part of my room is done..Nikki packed some of her clothes..Chris is arriving tonight…He and Brittany went to Virginia Beach to visit her Dad…see how he’s doing.So everyone should be into more packing tomorrow.I hope the old tenant coughs up the keys tomorrow..the landlord said he would let me start taking things over.
anyway this morning me and Nikki indulged in 3 epis of BT on demand…we just sat there smiling…you know what we noticed…Henry tells the waitress in epi one that he’s a vamp..it just goes over head! She had said something like I think gruesome blood thirsty monsters would leave some kind of impression on people if they were running around Canada…when he was leaving,he said something like it was nice meeting you I’m glad I kind of made an impression on you.Anyway..it was nice to see my baby again…can’t wait to see him in October!! Oh but wait…he’s coming to my house in 26 days! 😉
Bonne nuit mes amis et rêves doux d’Henri !!!! et Kyle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drive by posting again because I ACHE! The trail kicked my ass! It wasn’t so much the length but the constant climbing. I have GOT to get into better shape! But I finally got to see Vernonia and it really is a cute little town in the middle of absolutely nowhere. (And all roads DO lead there, it turns out…)
Go here http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2007/07/29/slice-of-scifi-poll-for-week-beginning-july-29-2007/ and vote for Kyle. He isn’t winning yet. Not even close. Go vote. Although, to be honest, I can’t imagine him playing a young Captain Kirk but I’d love to see him getting more exposure (NO not that kind! Well, not that kind in this context, I mean) so I say we should all vote for him…

Claire vous êtes tellement très bienvenu. Vous et Kyle partagerez votre anniversaire ensemble, n’oubliez pas qu’il aime le service avec un sourire ! 🙂

Claire I did love that scene w/the waitress “You think blood sucking freaks would’ve made an impression” …….”I’m glad I made an impression” that was pretty slick on his part and the look on the girls face like she kinda got it???
**Z** Merci beaucoup for the Joey video. And my I say “Bluuu Bluuu Bluuuu, poo poo” ala Joey. Loved Friends I can still watch and laugh like it’s the first time seeing it.
Bonne nuit encore. XOXOXOXOX 😉 😛

lwildstar,
>> well my post disappeared….Oh well, its been that kind of a day
mine disappeared, because it had links in it, so I knew it went to blog limbo until it could get dug out.
>> I know da has always said that in the eyes of the “church” he and his brother didnt exist….So I wonder what that would mean to my sister and I?
well, from what I’ve always been told, if you’ve personally done your good Catholic deeds by being baptized Catholic and graduated from all of the sacraments (First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Penance – for starters), attended Church “mass” weekly (except in extreme weather.. boy, have I got a story there!!), then you’re probably still in good standing within the eyes of the Pope, Bishops, and local priests.
In the eyes of the *Church* elders, each person is supposedly based on their own merit.
However, it is in the eyes of “God” that counts heavier at the point of no return. If God were to ask why He should let me into heaven, and a good Christian “dispensationalist” – such as is the term replies,
“because (at the cross) Jesus paid for the penalties of *sin* in my place, and it is thru him that my slate has been cleaned *washed whiter than snow*”
(and not as in a snow-job/con)
then, according to the dispensational belief, heaven’s entrance is granted.
If a person never believed in the Christian way, according to the dispensational belief, then it is by that person’s own value system that judges their soul. For example, if they have ever deceived anyone, (even *fibbed*) that’s an automatic strike-out. Of course, I know people who are huge teasers, and tell tall tales all the time, just to see how another person will react – so where does that leave them??
Especially if God gave that person the talent to be a BIG tease all the time, and quick on the wit, etc., how can that person be pure of heart, when the gift of deceit (teasing) is part of their personality.. and especially if they don’t fess up and come clean with the truth after eons of teasing some poor soul, who believes and hangs on their every word as *gospel* truth?
From my own personal experience, I always considered Jesus’ words higher than that of the Church (any Church, any denomination).
Those are hard questions to answer, and I’m just glad I’m not in God’s shoes.. supervising ALL of the universe – everywhere, and all at once.. supervising your own home or office domain is hard enough, especially, when rebellion shows up in the ranks to test your *patience* or sanity.. but to watch over ALL of history with everyone everywhere, and ALL at the same time..? that’s too much to think about.. 😉
let’s see, on the more humorous side, how many *eyes* or monitors does God’s master (all-seeing visuals from any angle) control room have and how many (angel) operators are processing that info back to the throne room of heaven? Prayer has been nicknamed as the hot-line to heaven. I’m not sure, but I think that’s possibly what other belief systems also believe it as, too.

lwildstar,
>> AlisaSG – even my cousin who I have recently “turned” and is my partner in crime when it comes to the paranormal..
I just loved how you phrased that “partner in crime” for believing in the paranormal..! 😀
———-
>> I guess you could say I found a more spiritul path with out having to follow any church – my dad jokes that I am a witch (now you can t replace the w with a b and probably be closer 🙂 ) any who he even bought me a talisman of protection..
I’ve either destroyed or removed all talismans from my life. When *faith it* or *fake it* is put to the test, there is no one there, but me and God – nothing else that’s tangible. Those things never brought peace into my life anyway. Plus, it didn’t help that as a Catholic, I had a rotten stage designing teacher in college who made me break a mirror nearly a hundred times to create it into his crystal ballroom glitter ball. He broke only broke one piece – and bragged,
“see? that’s only 7 years of BAD luck!”
I thought he was nuts. I cursed out loud (yelled out for help to “almighty God” to intervene and STOP the MADNESS!!) every piece he made me break. The superstition on that alone would have put me into enough *superstitious HELLs* for several lifetimes. Anyway, the night of the opening ACT, the ball fell and broke some more.. serves him and the of them right! They finally broke down and paid for a real glitter ball!
AlisaSG said
agh.. thought I caught all of the typos (that’s why I never use spell check .. it skips grammar and overlooks correctly spelled words!! brain malfunction) 😛
here’s 2 of the corrections..
>> serves him and the of them right!
should be
“serves him and the rest of them right!”
———-
also-
>> He broke only broke one piece
should be
“He only broke one piece”

lwildstar,
>> And my story has the main charactor falling in love with demon – what would be the religious implications of that?
well, if the demon is an outright demon from hell, bad news on the hard core Christian (Church) front.
Is it someone like “Emmanuel” from the “Love Hurts” BT’s episode? “Emmanuel” in the world of *Stargate* understandings, could actually be an *being* entity which can co-exist in other dimensions.. and is not necessary a demon but something else.. such as- a different type of sentient creature with higher intelligence and abilities.
If your “demon” was really an being from an alternate reality, and had magical powers beyond human comprehension, that’s okay (in the eyes of some Christians), because he’s not really a “demon” (he’s not evil in nature, either), but is merely another creature of life – he’s just living somewhere else in or beyond the scope of human understanding and exists as a different “life-form”.
I’ve found it extremely BIZARRE that in watching *STARGATE*
and *DOCTOR WHO*- it’s okay to encounter beings with higher powers of telepathy and healing abilities and telekinesis, etc. It’s okay to watch those programs, and believe in ascension or even discuss it on a fantasy alien *being* level.
But it isn’t okay to have those abilities as a human.. in our *natural* (Biblical vs. whatever) world.
I’ve heard of other “Christians” who accept that, but keep it in perspective separately from our real world understanding of heaven and hellish beings. They can accept the “other world” E.T.alien aspects, but cannot accept it in *theological* terminology.
In some ways, I think Stargate has touched upon some biblical issues and brought them to light in a better understanding than how we’ve all perceived thruout the centuries. I don’t think the program is deceptive, but more on the lines of being an eye-opener to new understandings of old teachings. I can *thank* (or attribute that sort of thinking to) Daniel Jackson’s character role for all of that bending of mystical, mythical, and theological info.. 😛
I’m not saying what I wrote is right or wrong, but it is intriguing, at best.
Maybe that helps answer your question better.
msgypsy said
Watching my Sunday night Blood Ties and … does Vicki have a key to Henry’s apartment? Sometimes she just goes in and sometimes she knocks. And there doesn’t seem to be any sense to the times she knock and the times she walks in, other than what the plot seems to require.
Ah, yes, crunchlets. Back to the show….
msgypsy said
Back to crunchlets. Why do Henry and Mike want to know about Vicki wanting to get a dog? What does that have to do with either of them?
“Did you miss the part where the demon showed up?” My favorite line in this episode…
Anzia said
msgpsy- I think they want the discussion to continue because they both believe that her want of companionship is really her desire for themselves. I really think that the “no” is in response to the end of the discussion not the dog comment. I’ve been wrong before (but don’t tell anyone 😉
LH- I hope you have a safe trip! Does this mean you got your surgery?
Hey, I have the second section of the dance scene up. Um… NOT like anything else I’ve written so… yeah. It’s probably still rough in places ’cause I JUST wrote all of it in like half an hour. So, PLEASE be kind. Here’s the link http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1282365 Remember, it’s all the same file so you’ll either have to re-read part 1 or skim through until you get to the “section 2” heading. ^_^ Enjoy peeps
AlisaSG said
msgypsy,
>> Why do Henry and Mike want to know about Vicki wanting to get a dog? What does that have to do with either of them?
I later got the impression that both Mike and Henry were sort of following Vicki around like long-lost puppies clinging to their newly found mama.. which is what might have inspired Vicki to come out with the dog statement.. of course, at the time she said it, I thought she meant a seeing-eye dog, because of her belief that she was eventually going to lose her eye-sight.
But back to the dog comment from both Mike and Henry – it was just too funny that they both said it at the same time.. and *who* was seeking Vicki’s affections up to that episode?? Both Mike and Henry (as in *puppy-love*) .. of course, Henry finally snuck in a real kiss just prior to that scene about Vicki wanting a dog..
Was she making a potentially subliminal, double intended, meaning statement there?? ..it just makes yah wonder.. 😉
😀
Margaret said
As far as Vicki thinking about a dog, remember the incubus was talking about “longing”, she says she was thinking about getting a dog and starts to explain, he says you don’t have to explain it and then both of the “boys” say “explain”. They want her to explain her longing I would think. Remember she was the bait for the incubus as she is/was sexually frustrated.
On the Sci-Fi link-I voted and placed a comment about viewing Kyle’s work on Lifetimetv.com. If people don’t know his work maybe we can suck them in that way. Of course I’m still waiting to see if they let that comment stay.
lwildstar said
Good morning!
AlisaSG – My demon is actually from a differnt plan of existance – a different world – and is quite insulted that he and his kind have been “lumped in” with the term demon – although even he admits that even he would refer to many of his “cousins” by the same term because of their “bad habits”…..
last night I finally got the laptop up and running so I started on the edits for the first eight chapters – 8 good grief – anyway made it thru the first two. I’m very wordy – but I figure someone else can take care of that in editing. 😉 if I ever get the nerve to show it to someone else that is.
Anzia – I love it! a great way to start off the morning!
Now if i can just get up the curage to post my story – you have been a big inspiration. May be this weekend – still have a few edits to make – I completly changed the into.
didn’t risk watching BT on the computer last night – the last line of storms was pretty bad and I was afraid of power outages – so I’ll make up for it tonight.
Crunchlets! could use some this morning – forgot to bring breakfast.
Well its time to start work…depending on whether or not Paul chickens out of lunch again will determin if I visit this afternoon – other wise it maybe tonight – but of course we are under that thunderstorm warning for this evening – again.
So maybe not….
Have a good day my dears.
Oh and I hope things went well for you LH – and Claire 🙂

Anzia, that was (dare I say it?) cute! Although Sinead was annoying (as usual) and I’m having trouble visualizing Coreen trying to stay in the scene with Henry all vamped and angry and Sinead egging Vicki on. (Good thing they got Dave to leave before all this happened.) All the scene needs now is Kate and it’ll go from potentially explosive to full-fledged nuclear. I’m pretty sure Coreen would get out of the way, but Sinead could be collateral damage. Wait, that would be a GOOD thing!
Late for work. Type at you later, bloggren.
LH, put those feet up and rest! I hope all goes well for you now.

Yo Babies !! 🙂 How is everyone on this fine Monday?

Went and voted again on the Sci-Fi link for my Kyle again and he’s moved up alot since I voted last night. Very cool 😎
**Z** going to read your addition now and will be back.
Dani said
Hi everybody. Ugh! I wish I was still on vacation.
Anzia-I just read the new story. It was great I loved it. If I were you I would go after that guy. All the cards seem to be right.
Claire-I am so glad that you found a house for all of you. It sounds like a great place to live. I wish I had a fireplace!
So my mom’s “friend” moved in yesterday. Her and her husband seem pleasant enough. I stuck around all day to keep an eye on them. She seemed very apologetic for having to be there. She seems very genuine to me. Who knows maybe she is for real. She said she has been in 9 car accidents int he past two years, none were her fault, and is having back problems from them so she can’t work. Her husband lost his job and they were being evicted. I know things can happen like that so I am not going to show any animosity towards them but I am definitely going to be keeping watch. I was watching BT last night, I noticed episode 3 is On Demand now, and she seemed interested in it so she can’t be all that bad.
Anzia said
Oi, I had a post, hit the “submit comment” and it came back with “internet explorer cannot view this page” which was soon followed by “this site has a programming error” GRRR Translation- post go *poof*
So, a recreation is in order *grumbles*
lwilstar- thank you very much. I’ve never had anyone say that to me. I don’t know what I did to deserve it but thank you. It was a great way to start the day. I can only hope it is a good thing and not me setting examples of what NOT to write. ^_^
msgypsy- is cute a bad thing? you seem so tentative about saying it. are you not sure? I was trying for funny and exasperating but Cute is TOTALLY fine (well, as long as “cute” isn’t your equivavlent to Emma Woodhouse’s “elegant”). ^_^ I felt that adding Kate would be REALLY unfair to Vicki. And, I kept trying to get Coreen out of the scene but I kept seeing her in a chair with a bowl of popcorn in her lap. It was almost like a Mystery Science Theatre thing with her there. Watching but commenting just the same. ^_^
DIZEY1 said
**Z** great addition, I loved it. Very funny and I could see all this chaos going on. Wondering if Henry were to feed on lets say a drunk Vicki or anyone, could we get a sequel where Vicki would have to take care of a drunken Henry. I think that would be very funny. I’d love to see him drunk. She could be his caretaker instead of Henry always taking care of everyone else. It just crossed my mind when they were in the bar.
Welcome back Dani girl 😉 I know it sucks to come back from vacation. Reality BITES !! 🙂 😛
lwildstar said
Anzia – no pressure – I mean it inspires me that you have the courage to let others read your work – that is something i am still struggling with.
And since i’m here – i guess that means I’m not at lunch with paul – no biggie – balls is in his court now, lets see if he picks it up.
Well i am going to run off and play for awhile.
Talk at you guys later!
lwildstar said
Anzia – just had the same problem posting – but I copied my post to the clip board first…funny thing is when i hit refresh the post showed up.
i think I am going to start copiying all the posts to clipboard until I see that they have really posted – that way I don’t have to ry and remember what I wrote if they go poof*

(Henry growls again. “Why bother Vicki. I can take care of the problem. I’m feeling a bit peckish and I do love the taste of fear.”)
*eg* For some reason, that had to be my fav part right there. Totally LOVED this though. Go Anzia! MORE!!! I love it when Henry and Mike are going at each other. I really miss that on the show. They should bring that back. Kinda reminds me of Angel and Xander. Or Xander and Spike. Or Angel, Spike and Xander…hehe
And I did have more…but I totally forgot what it was…. 😉

My internet has gone wacko on me and I have to stay off for awhile until the IT person can check it out.

You know Henry is baiting him! yes i miss that in the show too….
An hour just goes by so fast! I’m waiting for the mail to be delivered to see if I have to sneek out to the post office for more post cards.
Dani said
My internet is working again. I swear the IT guys get paid to do nothing. The guy pushed one button and even he was surprised that it was fixed. He isn’t sure what he did.
Dani said
You know speaking of the postcards and all the campaigns to save our show. today is the 30th it is the end of the month. We should be getting an answer soon. I don’t want to admit that I am a little worried that it is this late and there is still no answer. I just keep hoping that they have made their decision and they want to keep the good news from for as long as possible. The longer they keep the good news to themselves the bigger the response in my opinion.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Dani I agree, they’re saving the *BEST* for last baby!! No worries cher’ (Cajun) it will be worth the wait. I forsee many seasons coming and I’m freakin’ over these last October ep’s. Kyle said in his pod cast that he’s only seen the same ep’s that we’ve seen and I think the balance of this season’s gonna be temultuous (SP). I can’t wait especially for the Christina ep, I wanna see some of his past and hope they show when they met etc. Oh and BTW……..***IS IT OCTOBER YET ?***
See ya’ll after lunch 😉 🙂 😎
elizabeth said
I think I have skimmed enough to be caught up with all these posts – good grief!
Anzia – Congrats on the job! I am so very pleased for you 🙂 Also, I second..third…whatever, the comments made about your friend and how much you still care for him. I have let too many things pass me in life because I hesitated to reach out – please, don’t make that mistake. Tell him how you feel. Nothing ventured; nothing gained. You don’t want to wake up years from now and wish you had taken the chance.
Claire – Yea!!! I am thrilled you found a place to move to!!!! With all the positive energy flowing your way it had to happen.
Madonna – I also loved Vane from the Dark hunter books and probably for the same reason you did. Do you havea the link to her site? I quess I could search for it… 😉
Dani – I do believe your fuzzy little vamp is the cousin to Vampiro Lunari and Vampiro Della Luna. At least, that is what mine whispered to me. Definately, love the name for yours and that he is from Rome.
Laurel – how is Bible school going? Looking forward to lunch this week. I didn’t know my mother had put a quilt in the Estacada show. I will have to give her a call and find out which one she showed.
Can we say I had a terrific few days off?!! Oh yeah! We visited some wineries and I bought a few bottles of wine I liked. Took a fabulous 2 hour horseback ride through the Oregon Dunes and on the beach. Because I am an experienced rider they put me on a fairly young horse that was HUGE! I could barely get my foot high enough to get in the stirrup! But, wow, what a fun ride he was :). We also did some hiking, visited some of the lighthouses along the coast and talked a lot. It was relaxing and fun. You guys are the only reason I am not moping because it is Monday and I am back at work.
elizabeth said
I finally got to see The History of Violence this weekend. Kyle looked so young and I am so tired of seeing him as a bully in most of his movies. I truly hope that BT has shown him to be far more versatile and, dare we say it, leading man material. I was watching some other program (I can’t remember which one), but during that show The History of Violence was mentioned. weird.
Margaret said
Maybe Kyle has been playing bullies so he can prove he’s more than just another pretty face. At least that’s my take on it.
Dani said
Dizey-I was watching Extreme Makeover last night and the team had put a light table in one of the kids rooms. I couldn’t help but think about Christina’s interview about Kyle lounging on her’s scantily clad. I can’t remember if she said it was from an actual episode or if he was just clowning around. Do you remember. If it is that is the future episode I am looking forward to.
Elizabeth-Yes C.H. told me they were cousins. She also told me that they were close at one time but they grew apart. She is very happy they have found a good home.
Margaret said
Just in case we don’t hear anything:
July 31
I think we need to look at tomorrow with guarded feelings. If we don’t get an announcement tomorrow could be that they led someone to believe something that had changed over the months that we’ve been waiting that isn’t necessarily the case now. Even though we think we might get word tomorrow they could drag this on forever if they really wanted to, its not like we can stop them.
Dani said
You know what I think? Someone out there is getting some sort of sick pleasure out there by leading us on. They think it is hilarious watching us go from yippee to agony and back again before they release the good news. 😛
elizabeth said
Margaret- good point! I hadn’t really thought about that being the case. It is definately obvious over the course of time how his face has become more beautifully defined. He has lost some of the baby roundness *sigh dreamily* I missed watching Bt over the weekend – even though I was having fun, I still missed my show.
Margaret said

I know this is really bad but I am getting very depressed. I am having a hard time thinking positive. I need some chocolate and Henry to lift my spirits.

How is everyone today!
Dani,
Welcome back!
Elizabeth,
Glad you had such a good weekend!
Anzia,
I loved it!!!! Especially the part where Henry says “Since your pointing at him, does that mean I get to see two?”
Just a thought….. Tomorrow is Christina’s birthday….. Maybe Lifetime is planning on giving her a gift.
Well I’m leaving work, then I have to go to the grocery store. Chat with you all later.
Dani said
Ooooo a gift of buying more episodes and keeping her in a job. It would be like a birthday gift to us all.
msgypsy said
Drive by again, blog-kin. I remember SciFi dragging out the Dresden Files decision for weeks and weeks beyond when they said they’d have it done. And even then there was the faint possibility they’d change their minds for a later season. So I’m not giving up hope yet.
Hiked yesterday, serious hiking, through spooky dark woods and around horse droppings (because there’s a horse camp nearby…ugh!) So today I ache and don’t think I’ll be doing much of anything this evening so maybe I’ll be back to chatter then.
Dani said
I have not completely given up hope. I am still hanging on to a thread of hope. Sometimes the thread does seem stronger.
DIZEY1 said
I vote to give that to Christina for OUR birthday gift this year. It’ll work for everybody 😉 No matter I’ll keep sending out my token *20* postcards tomorrow until they say “WHEN”.
Ms.Madonna, I thought I emailed my Elder Hostel emblem, if not will send to you tonight from home. I too loved the line about can I see too?? I say oohhh yeahhhhh 😉 🙂
Elizabeth , you lucky dawg! I love horseback riding and can only imagine riding along a beach. OMG so freeing !!! We used to go to Kiln, MS. they had lots of places to rent horses for the day and ride through the woods/forest etc. I don’t know if any survived the hurricane. I’m glad you had such a wonderful time Good for you 😉
DIZEY1 said
Hey PRTFVR, if your lurking I just wanted to say HI and hope you’re feeling better. Miss you and I keep checking out the funnies and the dance oh and I”M NOT GAY !! (hee hee) 🙂 Hope you’re doing better and didn’t have to take the dreaded antibiotics.
LUV YA!! Feel better 😉

On August 1, LifetimeTV.com will re-launch its website. To continue the conversation about “Blood Ties,” go to “On TV” on the new site and click on the Talk About It button in the upper right corner on the page. Keep the conversation going!
This is what is posted above the message board on the Blood Ties conversation. Not sure what it “really” means.

I have no clue what Lifetime is up to. You would think that they would send an email out to let the viewers know that they are revamping the site so soon.
Is it the weekend yet?

I made it through my first day back. YAY! I am outta here. Ciao!
Lady Afrodyte said
Hooray Dani! Are you totally insane yet, or still hanging in there?

Whew, I survived the long morning of VBS. For some reason we had more pre-school kids than usual. They are cute and funny, but really hard to craft with. None of the skills you get with the Kindergarten and older kids. Can’t cut with scissors, can’t glue, can’t color in the lines (okay one of them can do all that but she doesn’t believe any of the rules apply to her). Rose and I are worn out after having four different classes in a three hour period. I am going to have to change out some of the crafts I was going to teach because they are too hard for the littles.
Elizabeth – your mom’s quilt was really bright! Orange sherbert the predominant color. Lots of yellow, green, and pink, too. I really liked it. 🙂 It would really look great on a day-bed! (Or my couch!) lol

well as my sister would say “this is dash in”…the sky is darkening – no thunder yet – but I ‘m not risking it after yesturday.
I’ve printed 10 cards for tomorrows mail.
Wow so LifeTime is going to redo their website – wonder what that means for the blog and message boards….
I’m going to go eat dinner and see what the weather does – if it blows over I’ll be back! 😉

Lady Afrodyte,
>> I have no clue what Lifetime is up to.
well, since I’ve seen this sort of Tv *NETWORK* behavior before (NBC), and since CBS is just as bad as NBC and CBS owns Lifetime.. I think they are waiting until the results show up from other countries, before they stick their paws into saying anything.
Otherwise, it’s sort of like Sci-Fi sticking their fingers in the air to see which way the wind is blowing..
that’s just my inner gut speaking..
don’t forget also that Kyle’s birthday occurs after the premiere eps begin on several stations. If TPTB wait until his birthday to make any decisions, after the first several eps, would seem to be the most likely time for Lifetime to realize what they’ve got.
The only way the other stations and viewers are going to find out tho, is if people who have seen BT already help inspire and encourage the new viewers to watch. Please refer to the list of countries and stations again at–

HOPING it’s okay to post this NOTE here below.. (another link into forum limbo in the meantime)

okay, more updates on CANADIAN listings.. and I’m not sure how accurate these are. This info came directly from the bloodties-bloodline forum topic link at-
http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1277
it’s currently *stickied* on the forum’s website. 😎
The new premiere air dates are as noted-
“For any of you in Canada that have not had a chance to see the show, here are the new air dates:
Citytv Toronto and Winnipeg:
Monday August 20 8-10PM
Citytv Vancouver:
Sunday August 26 8-10PM
Citytv Calgary / Edmonton:
Thursday August 23 8-10PM”

Also, one more note of potential *importance*..
this was posted in the same topic as the above BT forum link
and again, I’m not sure how accurate the info is, but —

It seems that the Canadian TV landscape is changing. City-TV will no longer be owned by CHUM as they have been sold to Rogers Communications. This means that City-TV and Space will no longer be a part of the same corporate family.
I’m wondering if this will put into doubt the deal to have Space carry Blood Ties since a different owner will be involved? Ugh. I’ve got a headache. I just hope that, once all is said and done, that City-TV will still be carried by Bell ExpressVu satellite (as that’s what I have and I don’t have cable) and Space will still broadcast Blood Ties, along with Supernatural. Phooey, if they don’t!!!”

and that viewer won’t be the only one with a headache. 😦

msgypsy, if there’s anything in my last 2 postings that need to be trimmed out (because they’re direct quotes, please feel free to edit them). If the quotes have to go, could the links please stay?? it would be helpful, since they’re the hot-lines to most of this new broadcast date info.. (for Canadians).
anyways.. if everyone else can see the info in that last post of mine, Tanya reinforced the new air times with this comment on her LJ-
“CHUM has decided to delay the Blood Ties launch by one week in order to allow the airing of the two hour MOW as our Premiere and give the show the best possible opportunity to reach it’s audience. The previous dates we relayed to you would only have accommodated the first hour. So, that said, here are the new airdates per market..”

Hey everyone,
loves history,
Take care of yourself OK. We’re all pulling for you!
Dizey,
Unless it went to my spam folder and it got deleted before I got to it, I haven’t recieved it. Don’t worry though, you still have plenty of time. It’ll take me at least 2-4 more weeks to finish them. When you send it please give me a description of your costume as well. I’m trying to illustrate the costumes also.
I think the darn voodoo bug still has me. I don’t necessarily feel bad so to speak, I just have absolutely no energy. That being said…. I’m 28 years old, it is 8 o’clock where I live and I’m going to bed. Kinda pathetic huh?
Good night all. I’ll check in with you all tomorrow.
DIZEY1 said
Madonna I soooo feel for you. The nasty little bug that had me last week sucked! It just made me feel off kilter (sp) nto quite right. Anyway I hope you feel better and I’ll put a description also. Not like you’ve got nothing else to do. Don’t run yourself down. Oops sorry there I go Nanny Beth that’s me at home always trying to fix something or someone. Feel better. 😉 Well I’m gonna watch a little tube and I’ll check back later.

Madonna – I hope you feel better dear, get some rest and hit the vitamin C before you go to bed. I’m feeling like lead myself today, just now get a pseudo second wind now.
What we know is they do not have a kitchen set built at Henry’s, but they have eluded to his kitchen with the salt in Bad Ju Ju and the popcorn in Norman. And you know if he is entertaining the ladies, he has a stocked bar or at least a liquor cabinet in his virtual kitchen. I’m thinking they will have the kitchen built by the next 22 epies. So body shots? I’m in! 😉
prtfvr said
Hey DIZ! Thanks for the well wishes. I started the antibiotics and lasted only two days. I’m getting better – sorta. Still have the dumb cough. Haven’t felt like working on Hens but I will finish the story soon, promise.
🙂
DIZEY1 said
Tango yay another drinking buddy besides Henry of course. Yep I see him with a Wolf Range and the big 48″ Sub-Zero of course I sold them to him and sold him only the best.
Prtfvr, Glad your feeling a little better. Please, I know I’m a *PIA* but I swear try the Airborne. It will boost up your immune system and will shorten the duration at least. You may even feel a little better. Ok Nanny Beth’s done nagging, sorry it comes naturally. And as much as we’d like another addition take the time and take care of you first. 😉 😎

IMDB Stats: Dylan and Christina are on the move but everyone else is down, including Blood Ties. How the heck did that happen?
This week’s stats, compared to last week’s stats:
NAME ******* 7/30/07 **** 7/23/07 **** TREND
Blood Ties **** 3,846 ****** 3,462 ***** -381
Kyle ********* 2,873 ****** 2,583 ***** -290
Dylan ******** 5,939 ****** 6,792 ***** +853
Christina ****** 2,766 ****** 3,779 ***** +1,013
Gina ********* 2,636 ****** 2,569 ***** -67
Michael ****** 11,104 ***** 11,189 ***** +85
I guess there are more Minxes than Hens. But what the heck happened to Blood Ties? It took quite a dive.
DIZEY1 said
Prtfvr, I looked this morning and thought I looked at it wrong. Hell I guess not. So this means we need to click more BT’s and more Kyle so we can get their numbers up. Very strange don’t you think? I always click on Bt’s first and then just link to all the others after. I don’t know. Hmmmmmm. 😉
Tango said
prtfvr, are you sure you have the dates on that right? It looks just the opposite to me.
DIZEY1 said
Well my blood buddies, I’m gonna go do my BLOOD TIE DUTY and write out my token *20* post cards , Mom’s waiting so off I go. Will chat at ya’ tomorrow.
XOXOXOXOXO Beth

I’m home but likely going to curl up in bed shortly. If I get the laptop out I’ll be back tonight; otherwise I’ll be back in the morning. For some reason today was a long day…
I stand by my belief that we are way premature to be worrying about BT being renewed. Lifetime is obviously waiting for something and if they’ve got the website being redesigned and relaunched, I’m confident no announcements of any kind are going to be made until that’s taken care of. And I suspect they’re waiting to see the response in Canada, as well as still judging how large a viewership they can count on for the back ten (formerly back nine.) I’m not giving up hope until the announcement is already made, but it’s final and at least one of the stars is so busy at something else that the show can’t possibly come back. I AM the fat lady and I don’t aim to sing for a long, long time. (You wouldn’t want me to but that’s beside the point…)
Claire said
Dizey….Oh mais oui. Je ne peux pas attendre le jour… ses belles mains… le chocolat….sa bouche…. son beau sourire ….Ahhh… oui… ce sera un bel anniversaire pour nous.
Madonna…thanks…he is a good young man…you think he would be dying to move out so he can do whatever he wants…but he saids for now…he is the man of the house and it’s his responsibility to help out.
Anzia….OMG!!! could your writing be any funnier…I loved it!!! I could see them in my head standing there arguing!
Lh..God Bless
Now I have to say Bonne Nuit mes amis, Je t’aime tous… jusqu’à demain.
Anzia said
Claire- I’m glad you found it funny. ^_^ How’s the packing and such going? Are you getting any sleep??
The “don’t worry Vicki, I can take care of the problem” line is one of my favs too. ^_^ Although I just really love the idea of the whole scene. ^_^
lwildstar- where do you live? It seems you’ve had nothing but storms for the last week! Here, no storms, just HUMID and HOT weather. *ick*
Himmiefan said
Hi everybody!! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Ms Anzia – I loved your two new chapters! Some good one-liners! Now, I do have to say that I would have slapped the hell-fire out of Mike, but anyhoo… After making Vicki jealous, Henry can then show his devotion by tripping Sinead. 🙂
Folks, I thought Kaleidoscope was waiting for Lifetime to order another full season before they started filming. Is this correct? I kind of hope not since the stars could get busy with other projects.
Oh! This appreared on CNN’s website today. If you haven’t finished Harry Potter yet, DO NOT even think of clicking on this link. Hands off the mouse! Fair warning.
Spoilers!

Anzia said
Okay, I hate doing this but I have to ask. Did anyone get the “are you a goldfish?” line? I debated about keeping it… obviously I did… ^_^
Himmie- *blushes* yes, I might have been a bit harsh with Mike’s character. However, Henry is letting Sinead do suggestive things to his yummy backside just to make Vicki jealous…
Laurel said
Just a drive by for me tonight. I have caught up to this point and if I don’t post something I won’t know where to start in when I get back tomorrow! lol
Today was really long and ended with a killer migrane so I am going to head for bed now.
I am shocked that the ImBD numbers weren’t better. I was on there every day and looked up everyone! I always start with BT so I can’t imagine why it would be down so much. I probably did click on Dylan a few extra times though. 🙂
I’m with Gypsy – it ain’t over yet! We can keep up a positive attitude better than any group of women (and man)! It would make sense to wait and see what the numbers are like when this hits Canada and when there are episodes actually playing here for us to send new viewers to. It is too bad it hasn’t replayed over the summer. I do appreciate Lifetime sending this to Comcast – On Demand because it has enabled me to pull in my friends and relatives. I still believe there is new life for our Blood Ties world.
vampgrl said
Hey, guys. Just another quick fly-by posting. On the whole Dark Shadows, JD thing, I just can’t see Johnny Depp playing a vampire. At all. Maybe it’s me, but I never found him sexy. Weird maybe…but not sexy. *g* I have this list of who gets to play a vampire, and he’s not on it. Heh. Tom Cruise used to be on it…until he got too weird…then I booted him off the list too. Sorry, Stuart Townsend still made a better Lestat. Especially that part in Queen of the Damned when he’s singing on stage in that see-through shirt and those tight pants. *dddddddrrrrooollll….*
OH! Caught part of that convo and vamps today and the whole double fangs thing…and the part about making the blood squirt faster. Can I just say…eeeewwww…thanks SO much for that. Ugh. That image alone would almost be enough to give me nightmares. Henry all vamped with the eyes and the teeth freaks me out to begin with…which is why I still can’t watch Heart of Fire before bed…ever…but add in that tasty mental image…and I have to run away and hide. *shudder*
ZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!! 🙂 🙂
prtfvr said
Tango: Nope, the dates are right. I couldn’t believe it myself and checked the IMDB stats several times. Very disappointing.
lwildstar said
Anzia – I live in MD just outside of DC – its the humidy that causes us to have these storms – we’re in the middle of a drought though – how weird – no rain expected til the weekend wtih temps back in th 90’s auuugggggggg.
Oh to those who asked – here is my website agian – I haven’t had a chance to update (hangs head in shame) but with so many other things gong on I haven’thad the time – yes there are bats left, and although the site says book marks are out of stock Ihave three. New item (maybe if any one is interested) Cell phone charms? I’ll make a sample at some point and let you know when I post the picture
http://hometown.aol.com/lognwldstr/Moon.html
Did my duty and dropped 10 more cards in the mail – just got those done before the first power blip last night
oooh dang, times up must start work – will go to IMDB and do my thing there first – talk at you later!
lwildstar said
where is everyone this morning!
Maybe you’re all west coasters and haven’t gotten up yet.
Well i guess I’ll pop back in a t lunch. 😦
AlisaSG said
lwildstar,
>> where is everyone this morning!
usually I’m working and not able to come visit..
but this morning I caught up with the flu bug (chills, fever, vomiting, migraine)..
we also had nasty storms pop up now and then, so the weather wrecked havoc on my head. Dewpoints and humidity were less than 10 degrees apart at times.
didn’t help either that my faithful *female* companion (period) showed up yesterday to stay for the next few days.. adding to the migraine that wouldn’t quit and sicky feeling. Airborne wouldn’t have helped keep this away. I forgot to eat supper and take my vitamins yesterday! Took my allergy tablet and Tylenol only to lose them both shortly later down the toilet.. 😦
Dani said
I am here now. Everybody say a big Happy Birthday to our favorite half blind private investigator, Christina. Ok everybody? On three

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Dani said
Everybody it getting sick. Please don’t pass it on to me. I refuse to vomit! I hope everybody feels better.
DIZEY1 said
Iwildstar, thanks for the website address. I had it saved but when I pulled it up it took me somewhere else. Very cool and I’ll pass it along.
Alisa, sorry about that ole VOODOO Bug going around. It does suck to be sick. My family has a history of migraine’s and other brain thingys. Hope you’ll be feeling better. My alergies are acting up a bit also living in N.O. were always moist so mold, and stuff are always here too. I live on Alegra and Nasonex, and I did actually do an Airborne last night it helped a little. Take care and be well soon. 😉 🙂
DIZEY1 said
OOpps I almost forgot.
Ok….Happy Birthday to youuuu……Happy Birthday to youuu…….Happy Birthday Our Christinaaaaa……..Happy Birthdaaaayyyy toooo youuuuuu…….and many more!!!!! 🙂 😉 😎 WOOOO HOOOOO
XOXOXOXOX From your Blood Ties party girls and Drinking Buddies
Dani said
Diz-I forgot about the body shots. I am right there with you. You know I am. Have you had jello shots. Yumm-o
Dani said
I have been recording everyone’s birthday’s. The next I have on my list is 8/24 both Claire’s and our favorite guy Kyle. If anyone is between now and then let me know.

hime in nyc a few hours late but i am good
Dani said
Glad to hear it LH.
DIZEY1 said
LH…Safe and sound back in the BIG APPLE 😉 I want to ge there soon. Glad you made it back ok. Do you have trouble traveling, by plane etc. The elevation must play havoc w/blood pressure etc. Hard on the legs too I would think. Anyway glad you made it back home ok.
DIZEY1 said
Ooh Dani yes ma’am we love Jello shots, had some for my birthday man those pigs were scarfing them down faster than I could grab em’ 😉 But body shots w/ Henry/or KYLE baby works for me 🙂 😉 😎
Himmiefan said
Hey Anzia! What you wrote about Mike was in character. You know, sometimes our characters have minds of their own. Of course, feel free to use and abuse Sinead. I don’t like her; she seduced my man. Grrrr. Of course, she didn’t hold a gun to his head, but we had a long talk and he’s sorry. 🙂
Great dialog in both stories, by the way!
Alisa – hope you feel better!! I sympathize.
As for Johnny Depp and Dark Shadows, I think he’ll make a good Barnabas. I assume he’s up for Barnabas, surely not for Maggie! 🙂 I do hope they change the story just a bit and not just do the same ‘ole same ‘ole plot line again. Also, I remember being frustrated with the second Dark Shadows in the early ’90s. The first Gulf War had just started, and everyone was wrapped up with that, but the show was just concerned with the strange goings-on in the town.
As for IMDB, maybe, just maybe Lifetime realizes that the numbers will go down a bit since BT isn’t currently being shown. Maybe the numbers are good in that case. Maybe? I don’t know, just casually thinking here….
Dani said
Diz-You have so got to let me know when you do go. I am only a little more than an hour away by train. I love NYC! You should try to go during the holiday season. I know there will be a LOT of people, very busy but it will be so worth it. With any luck it will snow and you can go to Central Park to see it. I think Lady A has a modeling job there in November though.
DIZEY1 said
Dani you know I need to figure out a time to go. Mom loved it her and my Aunt , I know she’d want to go again and she’s fun she loves Lemon drops and Tequila shots also my brother turned her/us onto Patron Silver smooooth stuff, and now she’s hooked. At 66 yrs. old she starts to drink hmmmm. But I’d love to go in the fall or winter , I’ll look into it 😉 We’ll get Claire to meet us there too , her old stomping grounds and she can probably get us into some cool places (hee hee) I’m stoked up now!!
Dani said
That would be totally freakin awesome. I would be more than stoked.
lwildstar said
yeah! people…I was lonely this morning.
you are welcome Dizey – I checked this morning and the site had 73 hits on page one! whoo hoo – so I guess people are still looking.
Himmefan – did he also appoligize for nibbling on Sinade in episode 7 when he could have had Vicki? I have watched episode 7&8 so many times and i am convicned thats Sinade he goes to after the Wndigos first attack on them (not to mention he was suposed to be mad at her for the whole love potion routine – maybe he was using her because he was mad at Vicki) my my my how we analize these things!
Well, while I still have some lunch time left I’m going to go do some writing and pop in at LT.
AlisaSG said
if Christina (Cox) is reading this blog.. in the words of
DIZEY1
>> Happy Birthday to youuuu……Happy Birthday to youuu…….Happy Birthday Our Christinaaaaa……..Happy Birthdaaaayyyy toooo youuuuuu…….and many more!!!!! 🙂 😉 😎 WOOOO HOOOOO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Himmiefan said
Lwildstar – I’ve watched that scene too and I’m not sure it’s Sinead, but it very well could be. I’ll have another talk with him. You know, that whole episode was crazy with the wrong lines at the wrong time. I’d love to totally re-write it so that it makes sense. Of course, once Henry says he has work to do, I’d have backed off and let him work and gotten Ronan from Stargate Atlantis to help me track down the windigo. Then, of course, Henry would have come running along to help.
Does all this kind of make you worried about what goes on in my head? 🙂
DIZEY1 said
Himmie, I never worry about what goes on in your head, because the same goes on in mine ( sometimes a little raunchier though). I am NOT hanging my head in shame either. Say it loud say it proud my age would be kickin’ Sinead’s ass !!! Ha! With age comes wisdom and a few other tricks I’ve picked up along the way. We’ve been too good for WAAAAAYY too long girls 😉
I hope to god that we get a blooper disc with these DVD’s. I can only imagine how much fun they had on the set after a 16 hour day. I’d be dancing around with a lamp shade on my head 🙂
AlisaSG said
Himmiefan,
>> I’ve watched that scene too and I’m not sure it’s Sinead, but it very well could be.
I think it is her.. same hair, etc. the only problem I had with that scene was after reading about Tanya saying why it’s easier to get the blood from an arm or wrist –less risk of blood loss– Henry nibbled on both sides of *her* neck — which would cause double blood loss and maybe more, since he was injured and needed the *extra* for extra healing.. of course, she didn’t seem to mind it at all.
Plus, they must have met outside, because Henry’s hand was resting against a brick wall, that, and he had his hooded jacket on, too.
———-
lwildstar,

Sinead and pheromones//Hathor and the entire SG male cast.. 😛
Sinead’s much prettier, tho. 😀
anywho.. I think it was Sinead too for the same reason. Sinead didn’t seem she’d ever turn Henry down to let him near her in *that* particular way..
hmmm, the BT vibes here are strong in that direction. 😉
Himmiefan said
Sinead is pretty, but I still don’t like her! 🙂 I wonder what my reaction to Christina will be?
“Say it loud say it proud my age would be kickin’ Sinead’s ass !!!”
Cute, and Amen!
One thought I just can’t get out of my head is that I want Henry to want to become mortal again. I know, like Forever Knight, but it works. I want my vampire to want to have a normal relationship and not one where he and the woman would have to part at some point. Can you imagine how awful that would be? I can see why Vicki would hesitate to get into a relationship with him.
This is so much more interesting than work…..
lwildstar said
Honestly it was her mouth and expression that made me think is was Sinade – plus henry would know she wouldn’t turn him down and remeber the scence in epi 5 – he bit her neck (it would be rude to refuse a drink!) pah-leese! Plenty of slurpees here and with out the nasty after taste of deception! hello!
Ok I’ve already runover my lunch time writing – trying to tie up my short story – currently its split into sections. Now I need to get it together! No one has offered to edit yet – so when I post it this weekend – well, be kind.
AND YES – I really truly plan to post it this time!
ok gots to go –
Dani said
I guess Sinead is pretty but I think Vicki is prettier.
Dani said
lwildstar-If you want to send it to me I can proofread and stuff for you. I do that for someone here at work because they think I am the best at it.
rifkind said
Danielle,
How’s your sister and her pregnancy?
I hope that things are still going OK..
Dani said
Things are going great with Chris’s pregnancy. There have been no scares. She went to see the geneology doctor or whatever she called it to make sure there are no problems and things are good with that. She should find out at the end of August what the sex is. She has a basinet for it. I have picked up invitations for her shower and I am in the process of crocheting a blanket for the baby.
One thing that surprised me is her doctor told her to have a glass or two of alcohol if it will help keep her stress free. Don’t go crazy but have a little to stay calm. It will be better then having another miscarraige from being stressed and making the colitis act up.
Dani said
Thanks for aaking Rifkind. I feel we can breath a little easier now that she is past three months.
Dani said
I meant “asking”
rifkind said
Dani,
Good to hear the great news!
Dani said
I think it was everyone’s thoughts and prayers and candles etc on here combined with my families and our friends that helped.
AlisaSG said
DIZEY1,
>> Alisa, sorry about that ole VOODOO Bug going around.
😛
aaagh.. voodoo schmoodoo.
I’d be *teasing* if I say Madonna sent it my way; but the truth is I got it from someone at work, who got hers from someone else.. I was fine, until I forgot to take my vitamins and eat supper. I had a pain in my shoulder, but I thought it was the way I had been sleeping on my pillows. She had a pain too, before she went home sick.
It didn’t help that other people kept leaving bad odors lingering in the bathroom, and when it’s hot and muggy outside, that only aggravates the fumes that much more.. 😦
watching the X-files … and man, that show is weird! reminds me of listening to CoastToCoastAM with George Noory in the middle of the night.. which is probably WHY it’s on in the middle of the night! 😛
.. and seeing snippets of news during commercials in the meantime, in between naps .. which napping is hard to do when the sun is shining at its brightest. Pull the pillow shade over my head and block out the light, as best as possible.. 😉
———-
loves history,
keep those feet up.. and try to get a nice massage worked into those muscles – they need their circulation moving. Sounds like the black and blues might also be from circulatory problems, as a possible 2ndary issue to your other health ailment. 😦
As long as you’re not clutzy like I am, hopefully you’ll heal faster. I keep banging my legs against sharp corners of furniture, and wonder how my legs manage to heal at all, because not many days pass by without me going *Oooouch!!* (insert harsh curse words!!) all over again.
Madonna said
QUCK!!!! Somebody grab the Lysol and spray this board down really well. LOL!!!
AlisaSG,
Sorry you feel so bad. I thought I was coming down with something over the weekend but I think my problem is that I’m just run down.
Dani,
Happy to hear that your sister is doing well!
How is everyone else doing today?
OH and Christina… If you are reading this, Happy Birthday!
Anzia said
lwildstar- i’ll take a gander at if if you want. ^_^ I love editing stuff! almost as much as writing.
lwildstar said
just a drive by – having a baaaddddd afternoon and I needed a pick me up – and on top of that we’re out of chocolate!
thanks Dani – I’ll try and email you part one tonight – I really am hoping to post it this weekend – if thats too much of a rush let me know.
thanks
Claire said
Afternoon Blog family….taking a break…transfered all my utilities…comcast workers are lacking brains…ugh!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Christina!!!!
LH- glad you made it back to NYC ok!!
Diz…Dani…I would love to spend time with you in NYC…if I can bribe a sitter LOL!!!!!
Why oh Why is our favorite man on my mind more than usual today? HMMM…
Honestly answer this….would it be weird if I sent Kyle a Birthday Note…to that fan mail address Tanya gave us?
Anyway the packing calls….
love you see you later!!! 😛
Lady Afrodyte said
Happy Birthday Christina!!!
Dani, I will indeed be in New York in November. I think I arrive the 16th, but it may change. I’ll actually be on Long Island most of the time, but I’ll have access to a couple “Party Bus’s” that will be taking models to the city and back. I can’t wait to get out there. I really, really want to go shopping!
Lady Afrodyte said
I think Kyle would appreciate the birthday wishes.
Madonna said
Maybe we should all join together and send Kyle something for his birthday. You know something to the effect of Happy Birthday from the hens… It’d be a good way for us to show some love. There’s still time to orgainize it. Does anybody else think this is a good idea? If so does anyone have any ideas to throw in the ring?
Lady Afrodyte said
Madonna… You are post 666… *giggles*
I think it would be a great idea to send Kyle something for his birthday. But if we are going to do it, someone needs to step up and get it done so that it might have a chance of getting to him in time.
Madonna said
What should we send?
DIZEY1 said
Bonjour Claire, glad things are moving along so well, other than the Comcast peeps. Why don’t we make a card like we did for Tanya and do one for Christina (belated) and one for Kyle. Iwildstar, Lady A or Ms. Madonna are the artsy ones here and we could send our little note like we did for Tanya. I think we’d ROCK ladies. It’s a fleeting thought but Tanya was so appreciative that maybe her kidz would appreciate us also.
Good afternoon Ms.Madonna, having a good one I hope. My day’s not so bad when I’m here with ya’ll 😉
Hey *Z* how are you my girl?? I keep re-reading your stories , they are so good. One day I’ll be able to buy a book at B & N and say I knew her when she was just a little girl 😉 🙂
Dani said
I agree I think we should all send some sort of greeting. Madonna maybe you could create something from all of us.
Lady A-Maybe I can get over there for a day if you can find the time between looking pretty.
Claire-Who wouldn’t love to watch those adorable little ones?
Madonna said
I could do the note. I wonder if lwildstar has anything in her jewelry chest suitable for men?
DIZEY1 said
God ya’ll are we all twins or what. Do we share the same brain???
Dani said
Don’t forget Dylan. His birthday is October 8th.
Claire-It sounds like you totally need to get away from la vida loca for awhile anyway.
I am out of here guys. Talk to you tomorrow. Ciao!
Lady Afrodyte said
I do have a few rosaries. I could send one, but I can’t print a nifty color card, my printer is so old that I have a hell of a time finding color ink for it…
DIZEY1 said
I know maybe she’s (Iwildstar)got a goody we could also send to Christina as a belated birthday gift.
Madonna said
A rosary might be nice. He did say if he could have anything his character had it would be the rosary around his wrist. Anybody have any creative ideas I could use for the card? Something catchy maybe?
Dani said
I think it would be really cool to send a rosary to Kyle. I think he would love it. It would just solidify our feelings for the show and his character. Maybe Madonna can do the card and send it to Lady A and Lady A can send them out together from there. That maybe going through to many hands though.
Lady Afrodyte said
That would work, Dani. That is if Madonna is up to it. If not I could figure out something to do.
Dani said
I will do some brainstorming tonight. Catch ya tomorrow.
Madonna said
Bye Dani!
Lady Afrodyte,
I could probably do it, but I won’t be able to work on the card until Friday evening. Too busy til then. But that will give us some time to collect some ideas.
Madonna said
Sorry guys. Lunch is over and I have to head back to work. Everybody start thinking. Check back in this evening.
Lady Afrodyte said
Here is a preview of the rosary I was thinking of. I have to add something to cover the strong between the beads and the cross.
DIZEY1 said
Claire vous êtes brillant. Kyle aimera recevoir les cadeaux envoyés par nous ses belles femmes.
Madonna or Lady A, I can’t do much computery (technical term) but if you’d like me to do anything let me know. I feel so incompetent 😦
DIZEY1 said
Lady A….I like it if you do any others let me know I strangely collect rosaries. Is that wierd ?? I am catholic if that’s any consolation. 🙂 😉
Lady Afrodyte said
I make rosaries and I’m NOT Catholic, I just play one on the weekends. lol I have a few others, give me your email address and I’ll email those previews to you.
Anzia said
Oh, i think i should mention taht I edit other people’s stuff A LOT better than my own. I can’t do my own worth crap. I always see what I want to see intead of what is really there (or at least I think that’s how it works). ^_^
Madonna said
Dizey,
You are clever and you do have a good sense of humor. It would be great if you could just come up with some good ideas for the card(s). I would love to send him (them) something to make them laugh or at least smile and not just blush.
Once I have the idea I can put almost anything on paper. My problem is and always has been concepts.
Madonna said
Anzia,
You greatly underestimate your talents. I’ve heard you say that you don’t have the polish on your writing to be a pro. Let me tell you…. You are an excellent writer. Just own it!
Anzia said
okay, i should say that I um, didn’t refresh before posting… crap
I’m all for the birthday gift. Maybe we should do a limrick or somethingon the card and have a “greeting” from each of the Hens?
DIZEY1 said
Madonna, thanks Ok I’ll see what kind of sentiments we can come up with. I just love when we have a project. We need to become our own company. Marketing this show for us would have been a breeze.
Lady A… “just play one on the weekends” LOL 🙂 my home email is bambi7@cox.net Ooh I’m so excited. Thankx
**Z** It’s always easy to critique someone else. But we are way harder on ourselves than we should be sometimes. 😉
DIZEY1 said
*Z* I was thinking that also the limerick would be cool.
DIZEY1 said
Maybe we can find a way to incorporate something of us like a way to weave our names and local or something on that order. The wheels are turning.
Lady Afrodyte said
Ok, email is sent. If you have any trouble with it, let me know.
Himmiefan said
Hey Anzia – I agree. It’s so much easier to edit other people’s stuff. With your own, what’s on the page gets mixed up with what’s in your head.
Claire – one thing I learned about dealing with Comcast, and maybe any other cable company. If you have multiple cable outlets, make sure you specify that you want all of them turned on. Silly me assumed that they’d get all of them, and, of course, they got just the one downstairs. There’s nothing like having to wait a second time for the cable man to appear. Cable man – kind of like the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot. Is he really real or just a myth? 🙂
Lady Afrodyte said
The Cable Man is real! He even helped us move a friends heavy oak dresser upstairs once.
Himmiefan said
Wow! You were lucky! 🙂
Margaret said
I’m all for the birthday present. If there’s anything I can do, let me know although I leave the creativity up to those who possess it.
Margaret said
So Dizey has Kyle become a Morman? Wives?
LH glad that you’re feeling a bit better. Know that are thoughts and prayers are with you.
Claire said
Merci Beth, comment pourrais je ne pas penser à notre amour sur son anniversaire?
Yes…I think the rosary would be great…he did say he liked it!
and of course the card! and of course we must mention that I share his birthday…just not that its 25 years more than his LOL!!! 😉
Ok so I got a smart Comcast person…and everything is done!!!!!
OHhh I’m so excited…I know it sounds juvenile but..I want him to know we exist…does that make sense…also he loves his Cali…what if we sent some doggie treats for her with his gift…il aurait tant d’amour pour nous!
packing Sucks big time…and when I say sucks…I don’t mean the enjoyable Henry kind…LOL!!!
I am so damn tired…and all my nails are broken!
Evil landlord says he has to walk through the house to see if I deserve my security deposit back! UGH! Bet he finds something to complain about!
Anyway mes amis…back to the torture….tomorrow we start taking stuff to the other place…I’m strangely excited..
later!

Claire,
>> Honestly answer this….would it be weird if I sent Kyle a Birthday Note…to that fan mail address Tanya gave us?
a snail-mail letter inside a ribbon/bow card might be nice to send to your *special* Birthday Twin.. *g* 😉
It’s not every day we find our birthday TWIN.. so, I’d say go for it! 😀
When I had a Birthday Twin (at work), I sent her a special TWIN card – it was our special *memory* secret..
and Claire’s card would have to be separate from the group card, since hers is a super *special* situation.
lwildstar said
Dani – just emailed you Part One – be gental!
Madonna – unfourtunatly I don’t have any mens jewelry in the stash – other than copper chain braclets – I like the rosary idea. For Christina? – you’d have to look at the website.
ok this is just what I needed – work sucked this after noon – I made three stupid mistakes all at the same time and had to spend an hour straightening them out then emailed one thing to person A that was to go to peson B and visa versa….chocolate! I need chocolate!
I’m going to go eat, take a bubble bath and go do some writing – that seems to help. I’ve already started Part two……
I’ll check back later – theres not a thunderstorm in sight to night!
AlisaSG said
rephrasing the above.. group card sounds great, but I’d still send an additional separate one Claire – one that’s just between you and Kyle being special
Birthday TWINS (years apart, but still on the same month/day). 😎
lwildstar said
AlisaSG – when I sent Tanyas card to the Kalidescope address I used Priority Mail to Canada because it was almost the same price as regular mail and with the book mark inside I wanted a tracking number – and it got there a couple days sooner…..and we know that got passed on to Tanya….
Good luck Claire, and if the Evil landlord says you can have your money – tell him you want the check NOW! he sounds like the kinda person to hold on to it…..

..okay .. skip mentioning the *YEARS* apart, and just make note of it being the same month and day..
I should send a snail mail one myself, regarding his name and my name..
and how he laughed about it (in his interview) – because he didn’t think his name was *that* important..!
(..I’m still in awww trying to figure out how history got our names wrapped up — nevermind, don’t read more in there that isn’t there!! That takes a bit of historical doing moving heaven and earth just to get to that point in time alone; and to never find out until after BLOOD TIES made the connection!) 😉
Chery said
O.K. I am officially freaked out! Blood Lines just took down the letter from Paul McConvey (producer) about sending postcards to LifeTime, and they took down The blood Tie link to copy!
Great, is this a gentle way to tell us it is over and Life Time is NOT GIVING US ANY MORE SEASONS?????????
YIKES
Dani said
Ok guys I ma hanging out at Chris’s. I came up with this for Kyle’s card. How do you like it?
Happy Birthday from your Hens
This birthday gift we want to send
Though some of us are Mike’s Minxes
This does not include jinxes
A bunch of friends we have now got
Cause your vamp style makes us hot
We hope you have a happy day
Several wishes now sent your way
Feel free to tweak it to your liking.
Dani said
The fourth line was supposed to be This GIFT does not include jinxes.
Madonna said
That’s cute Dani!
On the way home from work I was telling my mom about it and asked her for ideas.
She jokingly said, “Put the ‘shocker’ on the front and have it say something to the effect of Have A Wild Birthday.
What can I say…… That’s my mother!
Dani said
That is too funny Madonna.
Madonna said
Anyone who has any ideas throw them in. The more we have to work with the better the finished product will be.
Anzia,
I also like the idea of a limerick, but someone else would have to write it. I can’t rhyme worth a damn.
Claire,
I’m so happy that you are getting everything worked out with the new place. I also think the idea of something for Cali is cute. She is his “baby” after all. And no I don’t think it is juvenile to want him or them to know we exist. We’ve become such fans and supporters of the show that it is almost as if they have become our friends. I think as far as Kyle is concerned, for me anyway, it is the whole “I’ll be there for you as you are for me.” thing. That makes him seem like he appreciates us.
AlisaSG,
Are you feeling any better? I think I joined the family a little late to know what you mean by the name thing. What are you talking about?
Chery,
Relax dear. That could just as easily mean good news.
Even though we don’t have the idea solidified yet everyone needs to start sending me their greetings. Please let’s keep it at least PG-13. LOL!!!! I don’t like to blush while I am working.

DIZEY1 said
Hey ya’ll just checking in. Dani I like it .
Madonna your mom sounds a lot like mine. If we can tweek the photo and have his pic doing said shocker w/Cali in it also would be kinda cool 😎
I used to work at a Feed Store I can see if they have any dog t-shirts maybe I can get my lady @ work to write Cali’s name on it she’s got a fancy monograming sewing machine. Suck him right in ya’ know. 😉 People hit me where my dog lives I’m pretty much theirs.
AlisaSG said
Madonna, the name thing – that’s personal.. really personal.. twill send via e-mail.. it’s worth the laugh, if nothing else (some people here have already seen it).
Dani
>> Feel free to tweak it to your liking.
I’d drop the Mike/Minxes line – just to prevent any backfiring hexes.. (that’s just me, tho)
>> Though some of us are Mike’s Minxes
>> This does not include jinxes
or reword it to
Happy Birthday from your Hens
This birthday gift we want to send
Though some of us are Mike’s Minxes
Also sending some joyful winxes 😉

okay, maybe that one line is a bit silly, but anything but the word jinxes just seems better.. kharma.. destiny
lwildstar said
Maybe its a good sign..like tomorrow there will be a wonderful post telling us that all the post cards have worked…huh huh, what do you think? Positive vibes, positive thoughts….I’m printing postcards right now!
I’m not giving up!
oh great the printer just whent nuts!
be right back!

Margaret shoule we keep mailing the postcards??
DIZEY1 said
I’m just gonna keep sending them until they squeel.
lwildstar said
Hell I’ve printed 40 tonight – I had ten for tomorrow already done – now I think I’ll send 20!
Printer is better – Its either feeling over worked, or the ghost in the machine is back.
I am almost out of blue ink, which is interesting becasue most of the cards are black and red….oh well.
I’m going to logg off now and start putting address lables on the cards.
Don’t give up the fight! more cards, more cards! Even after they make the announcement (and they will) I’m going to send them cards of thanks!
DIZEY1 said
Iwildstar I’m with you sista’ going to write some now. Unfortunately I’m doing them by hand, god bless mom she addressed them all so I just have to write the tale. I’ll check back later.
BTW….Claire, je pense que notre Kyle glorieux aimerait n’importe quelle femme qui aime le chien Cali. Kyle nous montrerait des quantités emormous d’affection. (hee hee hee) I’m up for it I love the dog Cali. ^-^ 😉
Margaret said
Dizey: That was my first question to her. I told her at the risk of sounding dense should we stop cold turkey on the post cards but haven’t heard back from her yet. Maybe she thought she was being self explanatory when she said tptb felt it was best now to let things things settle and let Lifetime SOAK IN ALL WE HAVE SENT THEM. (as in past tense).
I have no problem with saving the post cards I have left to send them thank you notes if the news is good.
If I hear any more you all will be the first to know.
DIZEY1 said
Cool beans Margaret 😎 Well the ones already finished I’m going to mail I can’t do anything else with them. So I’ll mail those off and wait to see what happens from here. 😉 🙂
Dani said
I think my mom has a recipe for homemade dog treats I can aks her and I could make them and send them to Lady A to add to the rosary package.
I just watched The Pursuit of Happyness with my Chris and Ryan. I suggest everybody see it. It is a great movie.
Margaret said
Barbi is checking with someone and will get back with me when she finds out something.
DIZEY1 said
Dani I have that movie in my que on Netflicks I heard it was good. I love Will Smith too. That would be cool with the dog treats, and I’ll check into the doggy T-shirt I may see if my lady at work can do some kind of bat thingy her machine can do Mickey Mouse all kinds of cool stuff. I’ll let you know what I find tomorrow at work.
Thanks Margaret, appreciate it.
Madonna said
IMHO…..
The “shocker” might be a little too risque and may not send the message that we really want to send to him. What do you guys think? I’m all for including Cali somehow though as she seems like something that is important to him.
Cree,
You’re the expert….. What breed of dog most closely resembles Cali? Just in case we need it I want to start gathering images.
Vices & Minxes,
Any ideas for Christina’s and Dylan’s? Maybe we should skip the belated B’day greetings for Christina and just send her our love. If we sent it for here birthday it would probably just come across as an afterthought. What do you guys think?
Madonna said
Oh yeah,
Don’t forget to send your city/state in your greetings email if you want me to include it.
AlisaSG,
If you don’t mind go ahead and send that to me. I’m always up for a laugh.
DIZEY1 said
Madonna that’s cool with me , and by the time she’d get it well yeah too late.
I’ll check back in a bit my neck’s got a crick in it and sitting at this screen isn’t helping.
Alisa I’m a bit unsure of what you were speaking of also, names ??? Well feel better. 😉
msgypsy said
When IS Dylan’s birthday? Yeah, yeah, I’m the one who posted it way back when but DAYUIM! I’m an old, old lady with a fading memory… 😉
Maybe it’s my sick sense of humor or my non-Hen-ness but I really think someone ought to send Kyle a plush chicken. Or send Cali a chicken shaped dog toy. (Might not send the right message, I know.)
I’d send Christina chocolate but I’m afraid the delay in getting it to her would make it a moot gift. Perhaps a Godiva gift certificate? I believe they have Godiva up in the northlands. (I **STILL** want to figure out how to send Moonstruck chocolates up to Tanya but even Moonstruck would balk at sending it through an intermediary, especially at this time of year.)
The rosary is beautiful, but there’s this little voice nagging me, reminding me that we don’t know Kyle’s religious stance and it could be taken as offensive by some people. Might be better to wait on that kind of gift. I like the bookmarks, though, and if you could make one of the necklaces with the red tears in a masculine design it might be really good.
I got my mile and a half of Forest Park in on the way home tonight and now I’m going to curl up on the bed with my puppy (I make his treats, btw, although the recipes I use wouldn’t really travel well) and the movie I got from Netflix today. (No BT connection but I do love speculative fiction and “Children of Men” really looks good…)
Margaret said
Are you all sure that a young guy would put a t-shirt on his dog? That seems like something a girl would do. Sorry….think the dog biscuits and maybe a personalized bowl for Cali?
Anzia said
Okay, I need to make sure I didn’t miss anything regarding Kyle’s birthday gift. We’re sending him a rosary w/ a card. the card might have a limrick on it (be it Dani’s or something else) and we’re supposed to email madonna w/our greeting and location. Did I miss anything? is that right?
Diz- honey if I ever get anything published I’ll probably be givin’ out free copies. Although, by all means, go ahead and buy it! but i really doubt that’ll ever happen. ^_^
I’ve been thinking, and I might end up moving where the BT stuff is at. I’m only allowed 10 items in my port at writing.com and i’m at 9. It’s either that or I delete my other stuff. Which isn’t a bad thing. I just wanted to warn you guys so if i give out a new URL you won’t freak. ^_^
AlisaSG said
Madonna,
about e-mailing the name (no biggee, it’s just text on a page) – only if you’re still interested, tho.. if I send it (and I’ll let you know here when and what to look for) -you’d know right away just from reading this..
gosh, I must be feeling better, but I really should eat supper before midnight.. the pumpkins await me.. darn, glass slipper never fit to begin with.. 😛
———-
DIZEY1
>> Alisa I’m a bit unsure of what you were speaking of also, names ??? Well feel better.
aaghh! it’s Kyle’s real name (middle name) and my real name are the same.. well his name is part of mine.. it’s just weird, because he’s a he and I’m a she 😉
it’s the historical wrapping around of the names that makes it OMG!! to me,
mind-boggling. I thought it was interesting with just having Claire and Kyle sharing the same birthday.. but to drag me into his life, too — that was too much to think about. He said his name during an interview and laughed – probably figuring that was the end of it or not important.
anyway, my jaw dropped and I had to re-read the interview. I thought I could just watch BLOOD TIES without being *tied* into a connection with anyone, and simply walk away.. except I realized I couldn’t after reading that.. I thought I could just watch another vampire show without getting sucked into the vortex of time without being noticed as just another incognito viewer..
I had to check the alphabet on my letterhead, just to be sure I wasn’t seeing double, too.. so, now I’m forever bound across the spans of time and space of our vast universe, and only the COURT of LAW can separate that magical *name* bond (that’s what makes it too funny!)..
Just know he said his name is *Andreas*.. such a lovely name.. And he spells it exactly the same..
(hearing some hysterically giggling on this end)
*sigh*
I could understand me and *Vicki* (Nelson, the character) sharing something in common, but me and Kyle??
———-
okay, please focus the spotlight back onto Claire..
as I humbly slink away to make my supper.. 😀
Claire said
Beth…. Oh oui je conviens que… il serait si reconnaissant… il se sentirait honoré que nous étions si attentionné.Je peux voir son sourire maintenant!
oh yeah…lets do it!
but now…must go to sleep..still have so much to do tomorrow!
Bonne nuit mes belles dames jusqu’au matin….rêve de henri!

someone keeps sending something called

If anyone gets something similar to it — DELETE IT.
There is no message and contains an attachment. It most likely contains a VIRUS, too.
I’ve gotten the same mail, by different names.. and oddly to my former e-address.
AlisaSG said
okay, I just had a weird thought hit me about the BT episode NORMAN..
Did Norman disguised as Henry walk into Vicki’s office during broad daylight??
I think if he did, *that* right there would have tipped Vicki off that this really wasn’t the REAL Henry — before Norman threw her against the wall.
Anzia said
NO, it was night ’cause he then went immediately over to Henry’s and Henry was up.

good morning!
ok looks like LifEtime didn’t do anything over night will have to go back and check at lunch – though most sites don’t do a midday flip.
I mailed my 20 cards today – I have twenty more ready to go….I just wish they would say something.
Ok got a late start today – dashing off!
lwildstar said
almost forgot – Dani – did my email come thru last night?
I was having computer issues so i wasn’t sure – sometimes AOL says its sent stuff but its really floating in the ether…
thanks for helping!
Cree said
Madonna: Cali appears to be a cross between a border collie and a lab. She has the colorings of a border collie but the short hair of a lab (border collies have long hair). Her size is in between both of those breeds. Hope that helps.
Everyone have a great day!!
Dani said
Good Morning! I got wildstar. I started going over it at my sister’s last night. Don’t worry she wasn’t reading it over my shoulder.
Gypsy I don’t want to step on your toes or anything but I do remember Kyle saying in an interview that the one thing he would want to own from Blood Ties is his rosary bracelet. That is why we thought to send that. Dylan’s birthday is October 8th.
Alisa thanks for all the email warnings.
Dani said
You have a good day to Cree.
Claire said
Good Morning Blog family….So I guess I’m disturbing the creatures that live in this forest , by packing? EWWW I woke up and noticed the girls door was open so I went to close it so Josie wouldn’t jump on them and wake them…I did this in the dark and my foot brushed against something mushy! Turned on the girls bathroom light and EEEEEEWWWWW! Back part of a really dead chewed up mouse!!!!!!!! with stuff hanging out!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn my Cats!!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say I woke up the girls ad Nikki with my loud Retching!!!! I sprayed lysol on my foot!!!!! Ewww and I had to clean it up! I will be scarred for life after this!!!!
What a way to start the day Eh?
Anyway…thanks Alisa for the warning….Moving stuff today…Does dance of joy!
I can’t get Kyle out of my head…really strange…I keep thinking about him…
Hey Alisa….some kind of weird connection going on?
Check in later mes Amis!
Dani said
Ew Ew Ew! That is just gross. My outdoor cat is really old and has no teeth but she still manages to get the little critters and leaves them as gifts on my doorstep. So gross!
DIZEY1 said
Good Morning my Blood Sista’s , I agree Dani on the bracelet. We’re not trying to convert anyone, just a token Henry gift.
Margaret I take offense to the remark about the dog T-shirt comment. (JK) You have no clue how many people buy stuff like that. It’s a huge business. They’re not all girly, wtih flowers and stuff on them. I may even be able to get something with Soccer balls on it. He’d porbably like it. Anyway it was a fleeting idea and no big deal. Can you tell I’m a big animal person. I fight for the animals, and sometimes like an animal I guess 😉 Sorry if I’m a little bitchy this morning my sciatic’s(sp) been biting me since last Saturday and I’m starting to snap .
Gypsy I got and watched “Better than chocolate” yesterday from Netflicks, can I say not my regular rental, but it was good. She looked like a little girl, maybe it was the short hair. Very good movie though, I loved the girls mother I thought she was hysterical. The people at Netflicks must wonder because that movie came and the other was “The Bridge to Terabithia” . They’re probably thinking this chick is twisted 😉 🙂 😎
Hi Doc Cree, missed ya’ stay cool and kiss the pups for me. I’m looking to adopt a dog from “ARNO” which is the Animal Rescue that was set up after Katrina, man it’s so hard to pick one freakin’ dog. I hate going to these places because I want to take them all and they all want to go with you. So sad. God bless you for the job you do, I admire anyone who cares for animals. Anyway you have a good day Doc !!
vampgrl said
RE on the whole squishy dead mouse thing. Can I just say…EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!! *retchgagpuke* Ugh. That’s even worse than the whole ‘make the blood squirt faster’ image. Blech. See? And that is why my cat doesn’t go outside. No mice for her. Although she does try to grab anything that might get in the house. Lizards, frogs, roaches, spiders etc. She likes to carry roaches around in her mouth, drop them then pounce on them. Then she likes to tear their little legs off. *g* Same with frogs, minus the whole let tearing off part. And I once saw her eat a teeny spider. Now that I probably made you all sick. Sorry about that. 😦 Okay so maybe I’m not…okay maybe I am…a little…hehehe. But no. She doesn’t go outside, although she did try to run away once on my Dad. Bad Kitty.
Oh! On the whole blood issue…not to extremely gross you guys out or anything, I mentioned this over on the LT board, but I’ve had lots of dreams where I was a vampire in them. Blood drinking thing and all. Weird huh? I’ve even written stories where I put myself in as a vamp. Talk about disturing. Okay, that’s enough from my twisted head…hehe… 🙂 🙂 😎 =^.^= 😮 😛 😛
msgypsy said
Dani, no, no offense taken. I don’t really read the interviews that much and I never did hear the Kyle interview that everyone is talking about. Was that the one on Slice of Sci Fi? I got to hear their interviews with Christina, with Dylan, with Tanya, and with Peter Mohan but not with Kyle. I just wanted to be sure we weren’t taking a chance at offending him. Some folks really would be offended if sent a rosary. I have two co-workers like that. (A client pulled into the parking lot with a {Pray the Rosary” bumper sticker on her car and those two went off on the whole concept. While I find it hard to believe Kyle could be even remotely that close-minded, I know that there are people who are open minded when it comes to other people but not when it comes to themselves. If he’s outright said he wishes he could have kept the one he wore in the show, then by all means send him this one. It’s really lovely and sure to make an impression.
Ditto (I gag on the word but must say it) to Dizey on the doggie t-shirt idea. I refuse to put one on my dog but my ex always used to buy him cute little ones. Fortunately (from my point of view) Faraday always ate any t-shirt that was forced upon him. (Shredded, at least. I don’t think he ever actually ATE any fabric…)
As for missing Christina’s birthday (again, just because I’m the one that posted it doesn’t mean I know when it is) I think I’ll find out if Moonstruck is willing to ship through an intermediary at the end of August when it’s just starting to cool down. Then we can explain that we had to wait for favorable weather. Moonstruck is one of the bestest ever chocolates ever made. And it was either Christina or Tanya who talked about how Christina always loved seeing Tanya because the latter brought good chocolate from Toronto.
As for Dylan……hmmmm……. I have such an urge to go with something related to fatherhood because it really does sit so well on him. Compare him in some of his earlier stuff (I always point to his skinny geekiness in “Legend of the Rangers” but he’s been around much longer than that) to him as Mike. There’s a world of difference. Anyhow, since Dylan is such a private fellow, I can’t think of anything offhand. I’ll leave it to some other Minx to take care of Dylan. For the purposes of the birthday gifts, I’ll be a Vice. (Yup, I now OWN “Better than Chocolate.”)
And I should have left the house 15 minutes ago and DAMN I still have to take a shower. Later, bloggren!
msgypsy said
Hey, Vampgrl, it could be worse. My dog made friends with a mouse in my house once. I was trying to trap it and send it away dead or alive and he was buds with the thing.
Also, I’ve had dreams where I’m a killer of one kind or another. Dreaming about being a blood sucking vampire (too bad I can’t add bastard son of the king but you get my drift…) can’t be that different
BTW, speaking of bastard son of the king, I know I asked this once before. But does the Fitz in the name Fitzroy really refer to his status as a bastard? I used to think so back before the internet (I had a professor tell me that once, about someone named Fitzsimmons) but now that I have online access I can’t find that verified anywhere.)
REALLY REALLY RILLY late now.
Dani said
I can’t remember which interview it was. I think it was one of the podcasts. The one when he was driving in California on the coastal highway. I could be wrong though. Does anyone else remember which interview it was?
Margaret said
Dizey-It was only my opinion on the t-shirt. I must be a sexist as I just don’t think a strapping young guy like Kyle would put a shirt on his dog, it just doesn’t seem that manly and after all the discussions that have been had about whether “is he/isn’t he” I think that might make him shy away from putting a t-shirt on his dog. (AND PLEASE LET’S NOT START “THAT” DISCUSSION AGAIN). I’m just talking about the perception, not the reality. Besides, unless you start dressing the dog when they’re young, won’t they resist it and try to get it off like Ms. Gypsy’s dog? (I still love you Dizey, its only my opinion, you know the phrase-everyone has one……lol)
Dylan-I think I read or heard in an interview that he has two young kids so he wasn’t getting that much sleep but I certainly don’t know how you would tie that into a gift, unless it was some really special earplugs. lol.
DIZEY1 said
Dani I think it was an interview on line or something I listened to his PCH interview about a week ago just to hear his voice ya’ know, and it wasn’t that one. But I do remember him mentioning it. My memory’s shot. Anywho I’ll do whatever ya’ll want to do no matter to me. 🙂 😉

Dani: The interview where he’s driving down the coast was on SCI-FI Talk but I don’t think that is where he mentioned wanting the rosary. It might have been a written interview I think. Try Bloodties-Bloodlines and see if they might have it.

Robin sent this to me to cheer me up – yes having another bad morning – and I though everyone would enjoy!
*Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer*
I think we can learn a great deal from our four-legged friends:
– Choose the “being” part of a car ride: it’s an exciting, joyful
event that allows you to soak up fresh air and let the wind rush your face!
– Greet those you love when they come home. Experience your joy at
reconnecting with them. Feel your connection when they leave.
– Notice the feeling of loyalty to those who care for you. Does it
help you to feel safe? Does it give you strength?
– You can be silent and communicate volumes to someone nearby who is
having a bad day. Sometimes just being there is enough.
– Sniff around to learn when you’re on someone else’s territory.
– Let other’s know when they’re on your territory. A low growl is
enough. No need to bite.
– When others reprimand you, take it in for a moment, then make
friends with them.

As for my cats..the grosser part is that they are not outdoor cats…they are catching these things inside the house more EWWWWW!!!!
Yeah I think its time to move…ya think?
OK back to the grind! 😦

Here’s what I received from Blood Ties-Bloodlines:
Bloodlines removed it (Letter from Blood Ties Producer) to make room for other things and felt everyone had read it by now. The banner for the postcard campaign is still up there so there is no cause for worry that it is a bad sign, Lifetime has not made any decisions yet
It wouldn’t hurt to keep the cards and letters coming to Lifetime. And since they haven’t made a decision, the more the merrier.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So as Garth Brooks once said on a Saturday Night Live Show: Settle down now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I believe we still have time to bury them in postcards. If you write postcards you can probably be writing twice as many as it takes you to write a letter, just keep that in mind. An occassional letter probably wouldn’t hurt though.
I’m just thinking its easier to count post cards.
Margaret said
Are my posts being blocked? Tried twice and no sucess.
Dani said
Just remember that we are with you in spirit Claire. It will be over soon and you will be in your new place.

I was just IM’ing Chris and she said she just got bad news. I hate it when she does that. Right away I thought something was wrong with the baby. Nope. Her landlord just called and told she has 24 hours to decide if she wants to buy the condo. If not it is going on the market on Friday and she has to be out in a month. She is having a real difficult time finding another place. People aren’t getting back to her or they are all outside her budget. I told her about craigslist. It worked for Claire. Hopefully it will work for Chris also.
DIZEY1 said
Dani I’m so sorry to hear that. What the hell is wrong with this world. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins don’t people have a conscience at all?? How do they sleep at night I wonder. Well I’ll start praying for her Dani. It’ll be cool there’s a plan just like for Claire. Someday’s people just suck !!!
DIZEY1 said
Oh and when I say suck , I mean it in a crappy sucky way not a snuggling feeding Henry kinda way. 😉 🙂 😛
lwildstar said
Thanks Dani – the computer was acting up last night – first the printer – than it wouldn’t open my pictures – the nasty gremlin from work followedme home!
Fitzroy-bastard of king.Terrible isn’t it? – Well talk about labeling the kid! At least daddy made sure everyone knew henry was his – no question about that!
Claire – oh you poor thing! my sisters cat was always bringing her “presents” – you had to look at the stoop before steping out in the morning so that you didn’t – well you get the idea! Good luck moving/packing/everything! and i know hwat you mean about the clean up – three years ago the complex was infested with rats and I put out traps – will NEVER do that again – after the first clean up – that was it! i demanded that the pest control guy comeout daily until all the critters were gone!
Postcards postcards postcards…I’m going to keep mailing them until they give us an answer – and then I’ll mail some more in gratitude!
ok that was half my lunch and I wanted to go work on my story – not the short – I’m waiting for your comments Dani before I got back to working on part two. Thanks again!
Will stop over at LT first 🙂
Dani said
Well she said there is nothing on craigslist that suits her there is only one that is remotely close to her allowance. She can afford about 1100 a month and this one was 1900. We were pouring over other sights and there is nothing at all listed for Coventry CT. Ugh! It is hard because she needs at least 3 bedrooms. 1 for the two girls, 1 for the boy and one for Chris and Ryan. Plus the baby won’t be able to stay in there room forever.
Madonna said
Good afternoon all!
Looks like deciding on a present for Kyle is as tough as buying something for my dad. Believe me…. That’s tough!
So what says, We love you, we respect you, we want to jump your bones, have a great birthday and oh BTW…. please don’t think we’re crazy?
Cree,
Thanks for the info. So I just need to find a good pic of a border collie, make him grow a little and give him a hair cut right?
Can anyone tell I’m in a wierd mood today?
Dani said
Madonna-A weird mood every once in awhile is always good. I had one a couple weeks ago. I still like the idea of the rosary and something for Cali. It would show him that we really care. Sending something for Cali will only help him appreciate it even more. Maybe we could take a vote for the rosary.
Claire said
What goes on in the world….Jeez….is your sisters landlord related to mine?…Ugh! it’s sad when people forget humanity…when all they see is dollar signs….well Dani…what was done for me will be done for Chris….someone I spoke to the other day said to me”Don’t worry good always provides” Tell Chris we got her back…just like you guys had mine…
Madonna…it’s not that hard…having the same birthday…and weirdly alot of his same mannerisms…(I use my hands alot too…and so Nikki says…that thing he does when he smiles with his mouth closed..the corners turn down…kind of I’ve got a secret, smirk) anyway I digress..yeah Kyle on the brain! LOL
what I’m trying to say is…I see him as I am…it’s the little things that count…that we noticed he liked the rosary…that we noticed he really loves his dog…that we love his acting ability.In the note I’ve been working on..this is what I touch on…his amazing gift…to make us believe, cause in the podcast when asked what he thought about being sex on two legs and how all the fans were crazy about him…he said something along the lines of..”at the end of the day all that matters to me is that I gave it my all and did a good job.”
So something small yet meaniful…would surely grant us a big old place in his heart!!!! LOL!!! 😛
Madonna said
Dani,
Claire,
I agree, I was just joking around!
Dani said
I have to say you guys are so great. I feel it more and more everyday. I can’t quite figure out how to say this but I have stronger feelings for Kyle more and more everyday also. Not in the way you would a guy you can see and touch everyday but oh forget I can’t express what I am trying to say. The words escape me. I am just starting to sound really juvenile. Why do I always seem to be attracted to younger guys.
I find Zac Efron, the guy in High School Musical and Hairspray, very cute. He has the most amazing eyes. Now I just feel really dirty because he is still a teenager although I think he is almost 20.
Dani said
You know what as long as the person has three lower extremities and is hot I will appreciate them.
Dani said
Being able to sing well is a definite plus for me also.
Dani said
I wonder is Kyle can sing.
Now that I have that off my chest I feel much lighter and free-er.
Dani said
Sorry I didn’t mean to get so EW! on all of you. I guess I am just crazy.
lwildstar said
Dani – i know what you mean “I am just starting to sound really juvenile” – I feel that way when I talk to others about paul – and when i gush about Kyle/Henry…I can be soooo high school sometimes.
well I was suposed to have returned from lunch 10 minutes ago, but I was in the groove writing and loost track.
Talk at you tonight!
DIZEY1 said
Claire the hand thingy me too must be the Italian in us or could be the French. I’ve got both among other things. Bad temper I guess I get from either the Irish or the German sides. God I”M a MUTT!!
Claire, Dani, Iwildstar, do not feel bad. We can gush because we are still those girls at heart. I think I will always be this way. Nothing’s changed since I discoverd boys at about 11 and I still feel the same way when I see a cute guy I get that giddy schoolgirl feeling and I do hope I always keep that kind of simple innocence. The rest of the world is so jaded, lets just be girls 🙂 😉 😎
Margaret said
Sorry to hear about Chris. Maybe we should start making a bunch of voodoo dolls for landlords.
Isn’t one of the main reasons we came here was so we could gush about Kyle in an safe environment? lol. Trust me I’m probably older than most of you and when I think about Kyle I feel like I need to go to the nearest Sheriff’s department and register. Me, I don’t care whether he can sing or not, he does everything else well enough that I can overlook that. lol.
Dani said
I feel so great knowing I am not alone. I just gush about hot guys, PERIOD! If they are hot I gush regardless of there age. It is highly unlikely that I will ever actually meet any of them and actually have a relationship/friendship with them anyway, right? I think I am trying to make myself feel better about the younger guys. I never felt icky about the Kyle gushing because he isn’t “that” much younger them me but Zac Efron is only 19.
DIZEY1 said
Dani that’s funny. I understand what you’re saying. I so remember the days of school though when the cute boy you liked even did something as simple or stupid as asked you if you had pencil he could use…..OMG he talked to me!!! And then I would probably have saved the pencil because he touched it. I can vividly remember a guy in grammar school that I just adored. Those sweet innocent memories. Just sweet is the only way I can describe it. YUMMMMMM is the ORDER OF the DAY 😉
Love ya’ll to bits 🙂 catch ya’ when I get back from lunch
Dani said
I remember those days too. I also remember there was this one guy in middle school that I had a crush on, Tim Fahey. I had it written all over my binders and school books and everything, I love Tim. I started crossing them all out one day and he said, “Awwww you don’t love me anymore?” I said, “Nope.” Really smart ass and all.

Hot men! just took a run to the Starbucks – needed the break! let me tell you I almost got myself run over eyeing a guy on a bike – no shirt, shorts, OMG he was ripped! Good thing wsomeone was with me or I would have gotten squished. And yes she Gibbs Smacked me for not paying attention and then we proceeded to giggle about the hot guy!
so high school!
Anzia said
Okay, *raises hand* i love gushing. I silently gush to myself all the time about guys that I can never actually meet ’cause if I did I would find myself suddenly haveing a rap sheet. *blushes and hides head* Am I ashamed of the fact that I’d probably jump Mr. Schmid (if he were dressed as Henry of course) if I ever saw him in real life? not nearly as much as I should be. What can I say, I’m shameless *starts singing Garth Brooks* *coughs* um… sorry… 😉
So, Kyle gushing is a MUST when rehabilitating an addiction. If you keep it inside, it only fuels the desire for more. Which, in turn, causes more gushing. It’s a vicious cycle. Totally totally viscious. 😉
I really like the idea of the rosary and something for Cali. Does anyone know of any pictures of him and Cali? I mean, playing sports or something? ‘Cause we could always get him something like that. Which could be alittle creepy I guess since a bunch of strangers are sending toys to your dog. *shrugs* Or it could be thoughtful that we’d take that much effort to find something he’d appreciate.
As for the card. We could mention that we find him attractive but put it in a compliment to his personality. Something like, “One of the most endearing qualities in a person is level headedness and while the entire female BT viewing population is going nuts about your looks (us included) you realize that that is not all you are. It is a rare quality in a person and even more so in a person who lives in the public eye.” That might not be too “happy birthday”-ish but I’m sure you get the idea.
I too remember the HS days & crushes. I was never popular. I had a lot of friends and they spanned all “cliques” but I was never the kind of girl that thought anyone remembered her (still not). So, I, of course, had a crush on the most popular guy in band (yes i am and always will be a music geek) who was also pretty popular outside band. Him and I would fight ALL the time. It was almost a game with us. He’d insult me, I’d make him crawl back into his hole w/his poor little tail a few inches shorter and tucked neatly between his legs. One day, he asked me why we’d never dated. My first response was, “you never asked me” what I said was, “i’d never lower my standards that low.” I thought he was making fun of me again, and it hurt ’cause he’d never said anything like that to me. I immediately told my best friend who laughed and said “good job.” Matt never insulted me again. We actually became friends soon after that. We were in a musical together and I saw that his personality had changed. He wasn’t a jerk anymore. It wasn’t until my sophomore year of college that I was told that I’d shot down the guy I’d had a secret crush on for years in a very public and demeaning way. Talk about revenge. *cringes* My brother, a year younger than me, came home the day I’d said that and asked me what I’d done to Matt. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about. He said that I had done something to him ’cause Matt wouldn’t let anyone mention my name around him and had been pretty quiet during gym (the only class my bro & matt shared). YEah, talk about stupid blonde moment! not sure if I regret that, or if i’ve accepted it. I regret never telling matt that he was a great guy.
I’m not sure what the point of telling that story was. I was going to tell the one about the popular guy who knew my name and I was so stunned that I just stared at him.
I have a dead mouse story too. It climbed into my suitcase before I left on a trip and died in transit. I, uh, was wondering why all my clothes smelled. So, while taking them all out to do laundry I was greeted with a flying dead mouse that hit me in my head when I flung out my shirt. Talk about screaming bloody murder. My step-mom had thought the world was ending. CREEPY!
okay, done now… sorry so long…
msgypsy said
Margaret, I think it was the lines of X’s that sent your post into the spam bucket. Sorry. I approved one of them and let the others go; hope that was okay,.
I brought a couple episodes of “Doctor Who” on my Zen to watch at lunch. I think I’ve worn out the BT episodes that are on it. Well, not literally, but after a while when I can recite the lines along with the actors, it’s become a not-work-safe activity.

OMG I’m SOOOO sorry for flakin’ out on y’all this last month or so but real life reared its butt-ugly head *glomps to er’body*
Madonna said
Hey guys!
My whole take on the younger/older/teenager crush thing…… God gave us eyes, God gave us hormones, God gave us the ability to recognize beauty in something when we see it. As long as the object of our affections is an adult, and Kyle is, we are simply using the gifts God gave us. The minute that you let yourself stop seeing the beauty of things is the minute you die. The body may age but the heart never does. So use the gifts God gave you and let yourself relax and enjoy the thrills that life brings your way!
So anybody have any new ideas for the card? I want to get it done Friday evening so that I can get it to Lady A, so that it may have a small chance of getting there on time.
Who’s taking care of Kyle’s gift for Cali?
Anzia,
As far as I’m aware the only public pic that exists with the two of them is the “shocker” pic and even if I could come up with some theme from that I could never use it as it is far too low quality to do anything with.
Madonna said
Hi blah!
Welcome back!

I haven’t been feeling too hot so I’ve been locking myself in a cool room and reading.
DIZEY1 said
Gypsy that’s funny I just came back from lunch and was telling my lunch buddy, I have buddies for everything can ya’ tell? I love people. Anyway I was telling her sadly almost verbatim about Blood Price and how Vicki and Henry meet. It’s very scary when you can do each actor’s lines oh and with the same inflection and timing. ” Victoria Nelson, P.I. …… cute” I love that scene, oh hell I love em’ all. The good thing is I think Susan will be watching when they bring them back. She was a big Port Charles Vamp lover so it wasn’t a really hard sell 😉
Iwildstar, a girl after my own heart. If you’re gonna go at least go with a great view and a smile on that pretty face, right ?? 😉 🙂
**Z** OMG the mouse in the suitcase. Holy Merde!! We scream with roaches the mouse would’ve totally freaked me out. I wanna be sedated *** 😛
loves history said
maggie that ie aform letter written by some moron copywriter who most likely has not seen the show.
Madonna said
loves history,
Hi there! How ya feeling?
DIZEY1 said
Hey LH how are you?? You’re probably right about the form letter. Add a name and email it or mail it out. Kind of cookie cutter huh?? How are the feet doing? Bruises gone I hope.
BLAH baby welcome home !! You’ve been missed.
Hey Madonna I’ll do mine tonight and email it to you. Are we basically doing like we did for Tanya and putting all sentiments on one or more fancy pages??
Dani said
Welcome back Blah.
I am outta here guys. Talk to you tomorrow. Ciao!
DIZEY1 said
Hey ya’ll on the Cali gift do want me to see if I can find a dawg bowl and put her name on it??
Madonna said
Dizey,
That’s what I was thinking. 8 1/2 x 11 will probably work best to fit the 25-30 or so greetings from all of us. As far as the theme of the card, limericks, imagery, text etc. you guys let me know what you want me to do and I’ll do my best to do it. This is from all of us so I think everyone needs a chance to give some input.
DIZEY1 said
Ciao, bella Dani!!
XOXOX
Beth
Madonna said
Dizey,
If you want to do the dog bowl that’s fine with me.
DIZEY1 said
Ok cool, then I’ll do what I did for Tanya’s and write what I want send it , and I assume ya’ll just paste it to…. I’m so articulate paste it to the page thingy 😉
Madonna said
I was thinking I might do everyone’s greeting like it may look if everyone were to actually sign a card. What do you guys think?
DIZEY1 said
I’ll see what I can find and let ya’ll know , if it’s a yes I’ll send it to Lady A ?? Or do I mail it there??
Madonna said
Don’t know for sure.
Lady A, How do you want to handle this on your end?
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Sorry, heading back to work now….
DIZEY1 said
I think that sounds great. Cool idea 😎
Lady Afrodyte said
I guess the best thing would be to send everything my way and I send it to it’s final destination. That way I can make sure everything is packed so that the rosary doesn’t get squished. That would be baaaad.
Claire said
Madonna honey…I knew you were kidding…although…heh…who wouldn’t want to say that to him eh? I just keep it in my head…makes people wonder what I’m smiling at…
Dizey…who loves ya baby? I feel the same…I will always be that girl…who saids you have to change because you age?
Here’s Nikkis take on me at 80..
Nikki…”Mom look out what are you looking at? You’re going to drop your cane!”
“Mom are you looking at that old guy?ARe you checking him out?”
Me…”Why no sweetie..he’s too old…I was looking at that nice 40 year old..and reminiscing…”
I will arrive in heaven with a smile,my hair a mess..and I will say…damn I had fun!
Margaret…Roflmao!!! I will gladly accompany you to the sheriffs office to register…cause lord the things some of these younguns make one think about!!!
Hey Anzia…since we are gushing…I love Kyle Schmid..that’s right…old enough to have birthed him…don’t care! I love his hands…smile…hair…eyes…back…oh that back…Ms.Dizey…you feel me?
Everything about him including his amazing acting ability is Delish!!!!!
J’aime Kyle… oui que je !
and I love you guys…cause I can be crazy…and you don’t think there’s anything wrong with it!!! Ya know?
Oh yeah Diz..I’m for the doggy bowl..let me know what to chip in.
Madonna said
Lady A,
That sounds good. When I mail you the card I’ll send you some cash or a check to help cover shipping expenses. Whichever you’d prefer. I would do PayPal but I don’t have an account.
vampgrl said
LQTM…laughing quietly to myself..hehe
Lady Afrodyte said
I don’t have paypal either… I try to avoid spending money online… Or I spend mom’s and pay her back. Cash would be easier… I messed up with my bank account and gotta wait to reopen it… *headdesk*
DIZEY1 said
Vampgrl, I had been trying to figure that one out. The *Q* reeeeaaly had me stumped 🙂 But quietly is way to hard for me.
Claire, Kyle aimera notre esprit libre enfantin. Nous serons appréciés et récompensés par Kyle pour les cadeaux accordés sur le chien Cali. Kyle/Henry rend ma sensation de coeur jeune et heureuse. 😉 🙂 Claire, Beth aime les mains fortes de Kyle, les cheveux mous, le sourire glorieux et le dos musculaire. (hee hee hee) 🙂
DIZEY1 said
I just got a generic email from Lifetime also and the email I sent them had to be months ago. I barely remember writing it. They must be going through a list of emails and just bulk mailed them.
I’ll check in when I get home TTFN 🙂
Laurel said
You gals and your mouse stories! Yikes! My cats bring me all of the mouse/cat-toys they can find and leave a small pile outside the bedroom door. Thank heavens they haven’t had the opportunity to meet a real one. They do like bugs though. A fly got into the house and was buzzing low across the dining room – headed for the big picture window where it bounced off and then made another sweep around the room. Next thing I know there is a cat launching herself from the far side of the room, landing in the middle of the table before she sails across the room and pins the fly to the wall. I now need to remove the wall-paper because of the tear she put in it but it was so spectacular I almost don’t even care! She was beautiful to watch and very proud of her catch.
I love the idea of the rosary for Kyle’s birthday. I too remember him saying he liked that particular piece from the show. If the dog dish is too heavy to ship maybe we could send Cali a couple of dog scarves. They are very much in evidence among the dogs here on the west coast, and she would look good in them.
Claire said
LOL!! Yeah…mes sentiments exactement !Nous devons être soeurs.Nous avons les mêmes pensées! MMMMMM….La bouche…les mains…
Ok…fanning myself!!! 😉
Well..off to order Dominos…then off to new house..see you later!
rifkind said
Hi All,
I’m finally getting caught up on the posts..
The Rosary sounds like a good idea..
And for Cali… it might be a good idea to do a folding portable dog dish.
They have folding ones so that you can carry them with you .. like when Kyle is running.. and then when the dog needs a drink , you unfold it and add water…
I bet that Kyle would use it!
Laurel said
rifkind – I’ve seen those folding dishes, too. Nice.
They are really handy for taking to the beach as a foot-bath when you get back to the car with sandy footed kids! lol
Claire – I’m thinking positive about you getting your deposit from the landlord. Take pictures when you leave, just in case you need something to back up your rights.
LH – glad you made it home safely. I hope you get some good news soon.
blah – glad to see you again!
Himmiefan said
Hi everybody!!
Loves History and Blah – good to hear from you two!
I’m a little behind here. Who is taking up money for the gifts? I love the idea of the folding doggy dish.
By the way, as one of you said earlier, there’s nothing wrong with admiring God’s creation. 🙂
Oh, something to try since it’s so hot out – a Strawberry Lemonade at the Starbucks at Barnes and Noble. Fantastic! I can’t find it at a regular Starbuck’s though.
rifkind said
I was thinking that a folding dog dish would be easier to ship too!
Margaret said
Count me in on the gifts. I’ll have to send a check and need to know where to send it.
Anzia said
I’m with Himmie- let me know how much to send and where and I’ll do my best (dang job don’t start for another 2 weeks!) I like the folding dog bowl idea. As for the sentiments, does that go to Madonna then?

Yup, we should ALL send our coments, limerics etc to Madonna ASAP..

Gals,
What I could really use help on is the overall design for the card? Any ideas?
Comments I need by about 7pm Friday at the latest.
Madonna said
That should read greetings I need by 7pm Friday.
DIZEY1 said
Hi ya’ll I’m home out of the heat still 90 something here at 5:45 gotta love the summer time.
Rifkind, cool deal on the folding dog dish and since I used to work there might even get a discount.
Himmie the Strawberry Lemonade sounds awesome and I have a Barnes and Nobles down the block from where I work. Might slip in tomorrow and get one I also adore their Frappaccino (SP??) soooo good. It’s the best store around the smell of books a coffee 😉
I’ll send Madonna my email this evening.
Madonna said
Along with being tired comes artist’s block. At this time my creativity starts and stops with car ads. LOL!!!! I’m working on a doozy of one right now. Lime green YUK!
What will the main message of the card be? Then maybe I can take it from there.
Do we make him laugh? Do we make him cry? Do we make the poor man blush from the top of his head to his toes? He does look good in red you know.
Anzia, Himmiefan, Annalaise, Lady A, lwildstar, Dani, and all the other great writers & rhymers we have…. this is where your talents come in.
Margaret said
Well, we could always tell him that along with the rest of the world (like someone has already said) who admires his looks, we also love him for his brains and acting talent. Sorry, that was just to easy. Or reverse the order, tell him we admire his brain and acting talents, but we also like his looks.
Madonna said
The idea I’m stuck on is having a chicken coop on the front with balloons and a party theme and have it say…. Happy Birthday From The Hen House!
Please say somebody else has something better……LOL
AlisaSG said
Margaret,
sounds like Lifetime is still singing the same ol’ tune about the wrong eps being *their* version of a SEASON 2.
If you look on the bloodtiescentral.com web site, there’s a link to the eps, and each one is listed numbers 1 thru 22 as
1×01
1×02
…
1×19
1×20
1×21
1×22
the # 1 before the x = Season One.
So, it’s Lifetime’s error in looking at the original set as being obvious.
I wonder if they’ll ever correct the eps on the LIFETIME web site back to Season 1, instead of Season 2..
afterall.. the numbers would get thrown off at the 13th ep (D.O.A.), and show up on LIFETIME as
2×01 (for what really is 1×13).. etc.
I think I’ll just refer to the eps as they exist on the bloodtiescentral.com web site.. it makes life less frustrating to keep track of. 😉
AlisaSG said
Madonna, I’ll have to send the e-mail out later.. (about Kyle’s *name*..) 😉
I have to go make supper and etc.. first.
Margaret said
Madonna: I think your idea is funny but he won’t realize what we’re talking about unless you put a little blurp in there about the card being from Henry’s Hens…
AlisaSG said
Claire,
>> I can’t get Kyle out of my head…really strange…I keep thinking about him…
Hey Alisa….some kind of weird connection going on?
not strange.. (well, not to me anyway *g*) 😉
you’re both linked.. and somehow I think that the closer you get to your birthday, the stronger that psychic energy link will feel.. not to also mention some potential *dreams* … 😎
anywho, I’d send the card.. give it your best. And also encourage him to venture into expanding his talents for directing and producing, if that’s what he’d like to do.. somehow, (after reading his comments about those areas) I think he’d do extremely well in those areas once he sets out to achieve those goals. 🙂
what’s really weird is how you, Kyle and me are linked sort of together, but in different ways.. it’s just *awesome!*
😀
PS– hoping everything is going well in your new home.
May many joyful and precious memories be with you always!
DIZEY1 said
Hey Madonna maybe it could be something from Tanya’s Blood Blog and maybe his pic and our names swirling around him?? I have no clue I’m winging it here (batty) 😉
Anzia said
Madonna- I actually like the idea of the “Hen House” ^_^ *hides*
Madonna said
Hey guys,
Margaret,
I realize that if we included any references to hens it would have to explained somehow.?
Let me expand on my earlier post. I was at work and couldn’t take a whole lot of time.
I was thinking of a scene, night of course, big full moon, with a cartoon style hen house with hens bursting out of the windows. There could be musical notes surrounding it, with balloons and a sign out front that says Ms. Gypsy’s Place. Maybe a banner hung over the door saying “Happy Birthday Kyle”, Another sign somewhere that says BYOB – Bring your own blood. Just have it look like a big celebration. I might even be able to do a caricature of Cali hanging out one of the windows as well. I know this isn’t great. Please keep throwing ideas out to me. Sleep on it tonight and maybe we can take a vote tomorrow.
I also emailed a few other people who haven’t been here for a while and asked them if they wanted to send greetings.

Checking in and checking out…from 7 to 10 Nikki and I loaded her car four times and unloaded at the new house…even went to target for cleaning stuff…now my back is feeling very much 49!!!!
Madonna that sounds kind of cute..but I will put my two cents in tomorrow when I am more coherent….Anzia…if a rotten mouse ever hit me in the face I probably wouldn’t live to talk about it EWWWWWW!
Blah honey welcome back…hope all is ok..
Te parler demain Beth..Rêves doux de Kyle
Je t’aime mes soeurs
et LH aussi
Bonne Nuit
msgypsy said
You might consider a link to Henry’s Hens in the card, too. It won’t explain the henhouse but will certainly entertain if not Kyle, at least his friends and probably mother.
It’s too hot to sit in front of my computer right now so I’ll be back later. Keep up the good work, bloggren. New topic either tomorrow or Friday depending on how prolifically we all chat in the next day and a half…

>> Alisa I’m a bit unsure of what you were speaking of also, names ??? Well feel better.
(from AlisaSG)
>> I could understand me and *Vicki* (Nelson, the character) sharing something in common, but me and Kyle??
the only thing I’d like to add beyond anything that’s already been publicly spoken of (already) on these blogs, is that I doubt if LIFETIME appreciates these bizarre connections that have bound some of us to BT, and each other, in spirit and taken us beyond our wildest comprehension when understanding the scope of it all. That’s where I start muttering the words *awesome*..
amazing.. a-maze-zing.. WOW! ..and how about *mind-boggling*~!!..?
The *ties* that bind and keep us together.. the tapestry of the universe has woven these things together.. even if they are pulled apart by nature itself, the memories of them will remain intact forever.
one more connection (of me) to Kyle.. he said his dog Cali is close to a border collie in one of his interviews (I’m not sure of the exact wording). Border collies are basically cousins to shelties (in the same family tree somewhere). I grew up with a shelty (toy/miniature collie) – he had darker Lassie markings but in *miniature* sized style. He was definitely spunky, and *Loved* the snow! He was a natural snow-bunny. 😀
I think I need a midnight snack. yes, I am feeling better, thank you!
Rifkind said
Hey Blogkin,
If any of you are watching the news tonight, you’ve seen my city in the news. Minneapolis had a catastrophic bridge collapse right in the middle of rush hour. Thank goodness, I don’t go home that way, but I WAS in the highway heading home right at the time of the accident. I work less than a mile from the bridge.
On the way to dinner, we saw a state patrol go screaming into downtown and following it a state patrol towing a water rescue boat.
At the restaurant, the lobby was filled with folks looking at the TV and the devastation. I had flashbacks to when the towers went down.
Folks in the downtown, had cell phones not working because of overloaded cell circuits.
Shortly after this, our cell phones started ringing.
We were out in a suburb, so we had cell connectivity.
Friends and previous co-workers all started calling. Family called each other to be sure that everyone was OK.
Another co-worker and I had walked to the parking garage together.. and I was worried about him.. a little bit later, my phone rang again, it it was Dominic. I didn’t even know that he had my number. I was relieved that he was OK too
Send some prayers for the dead and their families. I’m sure that the death count will increase tomorrow.
-Rifkind
Laurel said
Rifkind – I am so glad to hear you are okay. I knew one of us was from the area and I have been saying prayers that you would be okay.
It reminded me of the Bay bridge collapse and the two level freeway in Oakland during the earthquake in 1989. That was so terrible and this looks to be just as horrific for those involved. My prayers are for the families and friends of those killed, and survivors, and especially the emergency personel on the scene and at the hospitals.
It has been hard to watch the story unfolding.

Hey Blog-kins!! I’m gone for a couple of weeks and the blog moves 2 times!! You’ve been busy!!! I went on a middle school mission trip with my church to Omaha Nebraska. We worked with the Open Door Mission Bible Day camp. One day we went roller skating with the kids and I stupidly decided to try backwards roller skating (which I never mastered as a kid) and fell not once, but twice on my tailbone. I did it 2 times, because I figured the first time I fell was just a fluke….because I hadn’t fallen all day! That was 3 weeks ago, and it STILL bothers me!! It was not so fun driving the 6 hours back with that injury! Since we’ve been back, I’ve been trying to jam a bunch of stuff in before school gets going in a couple of weeks. BOO!!!
prtfvr-sorry to read about your bird…one of my daughter’s parakeets died shortly after we got it and we had to have her dad come get it out of the cage because we were freaking out. We never did know what happened to it. We replaced it and the 2 we have are still going strong. People on the phone always comment about them chirping in the background, and I’m like…”Oh yeah, I didn’t even hear them!” You just get so used to them!!
I also LOVE the new stories on the Hen site!!! Too funny!!!
I was hoping to come back and see that the BT crew was all set to start filming the 2nd season. What the heck are they waiting on???
Oh, I see Blah checked in today!! Hello!
I’ve missed so much, I’m going to try to skim a little and catch up while I don’t sit for too long–tailbone you know!! GRRR!
catcornmom said
Rifkind – I just saw that story on the news. I’m glad you and your family are safe. I’ll say a prayer tonight for your city. It reminded me of that Oakland quake too.
Rifkind said
Thanks for the support and prayers.
The local news channels have been showing the bridge collapse since it happened. It’s now 11:20 PM and they are still showing the devastation, over and over again… It really does feel like 9/11 all over again..
I need to just turn the TV off. I should watch some TiVo before going to sleep. I need to get the images of destruction out of my mind before sleep.
Laurel said
When Mt St. Helens went off in 1980 I was in the ash fall-out zone. It was the only thing in the world that we knew about for almost two weeks. It was like having claustrophobia, the news became so overwhelming.
I will add a prayer for your dreams to be peaceful tonight, or at least to be all about Henry.
It is hard to avoid the news when the event is so near, but we will be here to offer you a break when you need one.
catcornmom said
As I went back and skimmed, I saw that there might be a Hen’s birthday gift for Kyle…I don’t have any great ideas, but I will certainly chip in for a gift!!
Himmiefan said
Welcome back Catcornmom!
Rifkind – thank the good Lord you and your family are okay. I didn’t know if we had anyone from Minneapolis here, so I was about to call roll.
msgypsy said
Rifkind, thanks for letting us know you’re okay. I thought you were from somewhere in the Great White North on this side of the border but wasn’t sure where. One of my friends is the only member of her family NOT in Minneapolis and we just heard within the half hour that her entire family is okay. WHEW! But I will send love and peace to those who have lost friends and family, and those who are now afraid.
Going to bed now. Hopefully I won’t have nightmares after seeing “Children of Men.” Dystopias fascinate and repel me at the same time…and this one was more dys than most.

Hi BT Family~
Rifkind~ I’m so glad you and your family are safe! That is soooo scary!
Busy blog going on.
I’m vacationing in Victoria, BC for a few days after a Big Fun in Seattle. We even had Mr. Dad in a shop trying on kilts. Thankfully he is way too cheap to buy one or else we’d find ourselves having to walk out in public with him sporting one. (He’d never spend that kind of $$$ w/o getting his money out of it) (My teenage boys really appreciate his spendthrift (kind words) ways in this instance!!!!
I think the B-day gift is a grand idea! I think the rosary looks very cool!
Just got an email from sister-in-law, Margaret.
She went to comcast on her way home from work and Demanded the On Demand program where she could get that handsome vampire man that her two sister-in-laws get It seems that Salem, OR doesn’t have On Demand yet. (maybe Sept.) The sales rep. suggested that she have her sister-in-laws tape the “handsome vampire man” shows for her.
Pretty funny! another convert! Maybe she’ll end up on this site!
Thank goodness for computers and wireless connections in the motels. My sister, Katherine, is in the hospital with appendix problems and I’m able to keep abreast of things while on vacation. She has to get an infection under control before she can get her appendix removed. This all came to light yesterday. It’s a good thing I brought my computer. Katherine lives in Delaware so I wouldn’t know without email.
I’ll be thinking about the B-day gift!
G’night
Rifkind said
Night All!
Thanks for the well wishes!
Margaret said
Rifkind: Sorry to hear about bridge collapse. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone there.
Even though Germany will soon be getting Blood Ties I found out that my friend over there can’t get into Lifetimetv.com. Apparently they block it to foreign countries, don’t know if that will change once they get the show or not.
Speaking of videos someone on the Lifetime Board posted this (12 signs to show you’re addicted to Blood Ties: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1cWq8QkcMo0
She said her twelve year daughter found it.
lwildstar said
God – I needed that vidio this morning!
Rifkind – I’m so glad you’re ok – I didn’t see this until the news this morning – I was getting worried, but I knew you would post something!
Sorry i didn’t check in last night – had a little booboo and spent the evening nursing bruises (fell down the stairs on the way to the work room to use the computer – acctually i only missed the last stair – but the landing was spectacular!) I’m ok just really stiff this morning….
I’ll check back at lunch
lwildstar said
oh and BTW – still no changes over at Lifetime
Madonna said
Rifkind,
The story about the bridge is terrible. My prayers are with all the injured and deceased. I’m grateful however that you are OK. If you need us you know where to find us.
lwildstar,
Are you sure your OK other than just being stiff. Hope you feel better too.
Dizey,
Sorry you’re in pain too. Do you have a herniated disc or something in your back? You feel better too OK!
prtfvr,
How are you feeling with the bronchitis?
LH,
How are you feeling?
AlisaSG,
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I sent you a reply to your email.
On my end…. My right foot has been hurting a couple of days and in guarding it I twisted my left ankle this morning. It’s fine though, just a little sore.
My aunt could use everyones prayers. She was trying to help a stray cat that got hit by a car in front of her house about a week ago. The cat bit her and as a result she has got blood poisoning from it. If they can’t stop the infection she could lose her finger or her hand.
Damn Margaret I was going to post that video and you beat me to it. It’s great isn’t it. I think we all needed it this morning!
Margaret said
lwildstar: Hope you’re feeling better.
Madonna: I’m at home sick so I have some time on my hands.
I guess the good news would be the video, the bad news would be this post I found on Lifetime (I didn’t include all of it, just the important part):
“I wrote a letter to the head of programming last week, and ask for more episodes of season 2, I recieved a reply from them that said that they would only be airing ten episodes for the second season, and nothing more. I suppose they are going to wait to see how the ratings end up after that before they make a decision.”
I asked Mindy who did the video if she could you do a video for rallying the troops to write to Lifetime and posted it over at Youtube. Don’t know if it will stay but its worth a try.
Margaret said
Sorry about the grammer: should have been could you do a video….
msgypsy said
Good morning, blogginis. I woke up to the kinda good news that they’ve lowered the estimate of deaths in Minneapolis. Still a major tragedy since there were still deaths and a whole lot of injuries, both physical and mental. But it’s good to see anything get better out of it.
That video was a hoot! I only want to point out that critiquing Mike’s wardrobe is easier when you’re looking at that damn trenchcoat. Especially when he’s got it on over a tuxedo.
Oh, and I’ve found a wonderful use for Youtube. I can find every one of my favorite songs there and if the accompanying video isn’t to my liking, I can still play the song in the background. http://youtube.com/watch?v=r66cNPM9xko is actually a fairly decent video but I don’t have to watch it every time I play it anymore. (“I Would Do Anything For Love” is my most favorite song…)
I need to get to work early since I’m out of coffee and can’t work without it. I’ll be back when I can.
msgypsy said
Margaret, is there any chance the person on the LT board was just paraphrasing the same email you received? LH was right, that email you got wasn’t personal. It was a cookie cutter thing. I strongly doubt anyone got anything more personal than that.
Gotta RUN now!
Margaret said
I spoke to someone who knows better than I and they said that they don’t believe that the response the person got from Lifetime is no more than the stardard response that many of us have gotten.
WE STILL NEED TO BE SENDING POSTCARDS. IF LIFETIME WANTS TO PLAY THIS GAME I SAY WE BURY THEM IN VERY POLITE, ADDICTED POSTCARDS.
I think I’ll be purchasing another 100, which brings my total up to 500. Anybody going to join me?
Dani said
Good morning.
I was wondering who on here was from the Minneapolis area. I thought someone was but I wasn’t sure. I am so glad you are alright rifkind. It seems like such a bizaare (sp) occurence.
Everybody that is suffering some sort of affliction I hope you all feel better.
I found my mother’s recipe for dog biscuits. Most of the stuff has to be bought at a health food store and that can get pretty pricey. I won’t be able to afford to make them. I like the dog bowl idea also. Let me know how we are going to split the cost and I will send money to Lady A.
That video from youtube was totally absolutely funny. I am so in accordance with all those things. Moving to Toronto even crossed my mind. Actually moving to Vancouver has crossed it more since that is where they actually film the show. Being near the stars appeals to me more than being in the city that the show is based on. I could never leave my New England though. I love it here.
lwildstar said
Yes thank you I am feeling better – stupendous black and blue marks – just stiff, nothing broken (surprised me considering how bad certain bits hurt last night) Wheres Henry when I could really use a good full body massage!? Tango – Dizey? ok which on of you have him? 🙂 Please be sure to let him know he needs to stop by tonight 😉
I just dropped 10 cards in the mail today – I have 40? left – will have to order more. I find if I order them on Thursdays- I can get them on Monday.
I got the Form Letter last night from LT – I’m wondering myself if what that person posted wasn’t just their take on the letter.
Never fear – we are going to keep sending cards till they give us what we want!
Ok question on the jewelry front – would anyone be interested in either cell phone charms or the key rings? with the Blood Moon motief? I’m starting to get bored again and I’m looking for something new to work on.
Also – Bats – are you still interested in the bats?
must go – I was just taking a 5 minute brain brake.

THIS SHOULD BE THE BLOOD TIES HOSPITAL WARD 🙂
Good morning Ya’ll 🙂 Thanks Madonna the sciatica every now and then bites me , worked out hard last Sat. and was at the Styx concert and didn’t get off my feet till 1 am Sun. so I think the bod’s just telling me to give it a break. Thank goodness no back or disc trouble. Almost finished my Kyle note for the card.
Rifkind… Prayers are with all in your area, disasters of any kind are devastating to everyone. I can so feel for you. Hugs and I’ll keep praying .
Catcornmom, ahhh the tailbone I did that years ago and thought I broke that sucker boy it sure can hurt, and where else can you sit??? 😉
DIZEY1 said
Iwildstar, I guess I have been hogging him, but he’s “better than Ice cream” and I have a hard time letting go of things 😉 I’ll send him over. Need him to lick those wounds for ya’ ?? 🙂 😛 😛
Moonbeam glad to hear about the new conversion, sorry about the other in-law. Prayers for her on the infection front. Missed ya!
Dani said
I found a few dog biscuit recipes online that I can handle. If you think it is a good idea I can make some and send them to Lady A. Let me know.
Dani said
Madonna-I love the Hen House idea. A big celebration. Woohoo! I do think we need to explain the whole hen thing in the card though. He would be totally dumb-founded otherwise. A link to henryshens.com would be a good idea also.
lwildstar said
Dizey – I knew it would be you! ha! yes please! lick, kiss, whatever….. sigh, smile, blush 😉 I promise to return him in relativly good condition.
ordered my next 100 cards!
vampgrl – usually I fall UP the stairs..I have a bad habit of catching my toe on the edge of the stair. This was just not paying attention and thinking I was already on the last stair…
I think we need to have a second wing at the BloodTies center…one just for the klutzes – Henry can make special visits to the injured – oh wait – maybe thats not a good idea – I can just see some of you throwing yoursevels down stairs and bumping into walls just to get admitted and the extra attention!
hahahahahahah!
DIZEY1 said
Dani girl I like the idea and send a list of the ingredients so he knows what’s in them.
Madonna I think if we do the Hen house we need to let him know we’re the girls from Tanya’s Blood Blog so he may be a little less afraid of the gift. We’ll let him know we sent Tanya her bookmark and he’ll feel just as important as our Author 😉 What do ya’ll think??
Iwildstar, I’ve really never been sickly or clutsy(SP) in my familia, the healthy active one. I used to be a little jealous of my sister she had everything , hurt everything ya’ know the squeeky wheel ??? I’m glad now I was always so healthy.
Dani said
I just got that same email from Lifetime from the one I sent them thanking them for airing the remaining episodes in October. Man they are really behind. I actually sent several emails before that one that I never got a response on.
rifkind said
Morning All,
I spent the early morning sending out emails to distant friends and family telling them that we are OK.
I had a pit in my stomach last night though, feeling that I KNOW somebody who is injured or dead… I have no confirmation on that though. Thank Goodness!
I too was relieved to see the “official” death toll dropped to 4.. but there are still 20-30 people missing, and I assume are dead.
Dani said
diz-I was always jealous of all the kids in school tht broke something. I have never broken a bone on my entire life. It was always unfair. All the kids wanted to hang around the kids with the crutches. Argh! I totally know what you mean.
rifkind said
KYLE’S BIRTHDAY GIFT
Hi All,
One thought on the dog biscuits.
I think that we should JUST send him some of the neat recipes that you have.
(It also makes it easier for Lady A to get a package together to send to him).
And maybe buy some of the cute dog biscuit shaped cookie cutters.
We might have multiple problems with HOME –Made treats..
1. We are sending them across the border.. these are not commercially created and packaged foods.. so there might be a problem there
2.) These are home-made. Kyle doesn’t know us from Adam.. and may NOT want to give the treats to her, just in case. . .
DIZEY1 said
Rifkind yeah ya’ know that’s what I was thinking when I said send the ingredient list, but that’s cool when I go look for the folding bowl thingy I’ll also look for the cookie cutters and if they let us ship pre-packaged stuff I’ll see what cool new stuff they have and I’ll let you know. Is that ok with ya’ll??
Dani said
I can make up cute little recipe cards. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea for those exact reasons Rifkind. I wanted to know what everyone else thought.
DIZEY1 said
Dani that’s a good idea. He’ll think we love his dog more than he. Sometimes I do love people’s animals more than some of them. 😉
Dani said
Have at it dizey. I am going to pull out my sketching paper and colored pencils and create some wicked recipe cards. I can incorporate bats with dog bones on them or something.
Himmiefan said
Hi everybody! To all those who aren’t feeling well, have scratches and assorted boo boos, and have just freaky things going wrong, I hope all of you feel better soon! Take some BT, good for whatever ails you.
Rifkind made a great point. Kyle doesn’t know us and doesn’t know if we’re crazy or just the fun, lovable crazy that we really are. So, I recommend no edible gifts. Doggy toys (can we do Fangs as a doggy toy?) and/or the bowl are good.
Rifkind – still sending prayers your way and to all the others in the Twin Cities. As much as I love BT (and I love it!), things like this do put things in proper perspective.
rifkind said
Partial post from Tanya’s LJ site:
Still haven’t heard from Lifetime about an actual second season — as opposed to them showing the second half of the first season — but I’ll let you know the moment I know.
And you guys are totally kicking ass on the letters/postcard thing! I can’t thank you enough!
Himmiefan said
Hey Dani. New England is beautiful. I used to go to CT in the fall for business. It was wonderful! Now, I love it down here in the South, but as someone on the board said, “Day-am!!” have we got the humidity! It’s horrible. Hope things are a little better up there.
Claire said
Bon matin mes amis..
Rifkind…so sorry to hear about the bridge collapse…Thank God you are okay!!!
Missed you Catcornmom…nice to see you back!
Margaret…oh did you make my morning…that video was great!!
Iwildstar…hope your booboo is better…I constantly do the same thing…I also like vampgirl am fond of falling up stairs…When I used to model…man did I pray…Please please don’t let me fall on the runway!!! almost did once though!
Madonna..I do love the henhouse idea..I am still working on my note I promise to have by tomorrow or maybe tonight!
Love you guys..have to run..more lugging and packing!
Dani said
Let me say sweet on the kicking ass thing. Woohoo!
Dani said
Himmiefan-Things get really humid up here this time of year. It is going to be in the mid 90’s today and the humidity will be higher. Yesterday when the sun was shining on the thermometer outside it read 118. It gets bad but hey that is what a/c is for right?
rifkind said
Catcornmom,
If your tailbone is giving you way too much trouble, there is now a procedure that they can do where they basically super glue the tailbone back into proper alignment.
I’m sure that it isn’t a fun surgery, but it is a new option if you are in terrible pain.
Himmiefan said
Dani – what did we do before a/c? Last August, mine died. Let’s just say with a long-haired cat and two bunnies, it was tramatic. I had to haul everyone over 30 miles away to my sister’s. This year, though, I had my system checked out and everything looks okay. 🙂
DIZEY1 said
Himmie, Dani ,
Can I say there’s no freakin’ way down here in hot, sticky, HUMID New Orleans that anyone could live without AC. Sometimes I literally can run it in the winter , for whatever our winter is. One year I need to go somewhere in the fall/winter that actually gets WINTER. 🙂
Madonna said
Hey guys,
Stopping by for a quick 15.
Love Tanya’s post!
My office does Twin Cities AutoMart mag. Our sales reps up there just narrowly avoided being on that bridge during the collapse because of construction.
Margaret,
Sick day? What’s wrong? Hope you’re feeling better.
Guys, thanks for the encouragement on the hen house idea. It’s just one of those things that gets stuck in your head and you can’t get it out. I also agree on all of your comments.
Before I finalize that plan though I’d rather wait until at least tomorrow morning to see if someone can come up with something better.
Dani,
The more I read your poem, the more I like it. You start to touch on the hen’s thing with the Mike’s Minxes and you also mentiion how we’ve all made friends because of the show. If we go with the hen house idea…. could you maybe expand upon your poem to include the idea of the Hens, Minxes, Hinxes and Vices? We could put it under the hen house and use it as wording for the card and that will work for the Hen’s explanation.
Dizey,
I love the idea of the Blood Ties klutz wing. One problem though…. I’d never be released to rejoin you guys. You all would come visit me right?…. Right?…. lol
By the way I’ve been on crutches and I’ve had back surgery…. NO FUN!!!!!
OH YEAH, I found this and I thought it would be perfect to add to the gift package. What do you guys think?

elizabeth said
Hey guys, To all of you on the injured lists I hope you feel better soon!
Rifkind – I am so thankful you were not on that bridge!
I agree that sending doggy treats for Callie could be a problem. The recipe idea is much better.
DIZEY1 said
Madonna of course we’d visit as most of us would just have frequent flyer miles to the WING. And I love the Woof or Treat I say yes, and how quickly can we get it ?? I may have to order one for myself I’m going this weekend to find me a dawg!! I can’t stand it anymore. I miss mine and I need one now 🙂 Yeah for me and the pup!!!
PROPS to all of our Postcard writing team YEAH us , I told ya’ll it’s gonna pay off and in a HUGE WAY. I can just feel it in my bones. 😎 😉 😛 😛
elizabeth said
Madonna – I love the Vamp doggie toy! I so want one of those for myself 🙂
Dani said
Madonna-I will definitely work on the poem. I will try and figure something out to fix the jinxes line also. OMG! I love the vamp dog toy. If my dog played with toys I would get it for her. And yes I would visit in the wing.
DIZEY1 said
Hey Elizabeth , glad to hear from ya’ 🙂
I went and posted a while ago on LT’s site and as I wrote I realized I’ve sent at least **300** of those little suckers and all done by hand. I figure that having sent and spent so much I should be able to purchase my own episode by the time LT says YEAH!! I’m thinking maybe we can get a cameo or walkon , and maybe I can have a kissing scene or better yet I could be a NECK for my Henry when he needs to be fed. ( Living in oblivion ya’ know) I can dream. 😉
Margaret said
Ok, I have now gone off the deep end, in case there was any doubt. If Lifetime is going to play this game maybe we need to dig in for the long run. How about designing business cards with the link to the Lifetime Videos and tell them they have to register. Leave them in public places, restaurants, give them to friends, heck; give them to enemies, ask your waiters or waitress if they like vamps and whip out the card and give it to them.
lwildstar said
I agree on the dog biscuts – sending the receipe is a better idea – I don’t know how customs would handel non comercial food items….
Ran over to the used book store across the street – they are going out of buisness – started in the scifi/fantasy esile and found my self in world history looking for Henry! I’ve been seeing the closing sign for weeks now and only just got over there, unfourtunatly they are down to the end of stock so there wasn’t much of anything left….
So Dani – just curious – how far did you get reading, and how bad is it?
well I’ve got a few things to take care of
Rifkind – our prayers are with yo and your friends ((((HUGS))))
lwildstar said
ok was just over at IMDB and it says Kyle has dropped by 10% and Blood Ties by 9%…
I couldn’t find where you go to get the actual numbers though.
Margaret said
Madonna: Thanks for asking. I’ve been prepping for a colonscopy for the last day. Ask someone older that you know, wouldn’t want to post it here, probably would come under the heading of too much info. Having the test this afternoon, its routine but the prep work for it is gross.
I think the dog biscuits, if they were made, might have problems getting passed through customs. Wouldn’t that stop the whole package?
Off to the post office to buy more postcards Having my test and will check in later.
Margaret said
Can someone post the link on where to vote again for the IMDB again?

this is the link margaret – http://imdb.com/ but you need to register to vote – after that if you want directions let me know – I just spent the last of my lunch breack voting/rating all the episodes and Kyle…will have to go back for Christina and Dylan.
lwildstar said
Margaret – in reference to “been prepping for a colonscopy for the last day. Ask someone older that you know” I’m young and I know! I have to have one every 18 – 24 months because of the colitis – and yes nasty nasty nasty!
I always end up dehydrated and dizzy…
take care!
the link is http://imdb.com/ but you have to register first – let me know if you need instructions!
Blah said
Anzia- nuthing horrible but it was enough to keep me from the blog. Half of my family came into town,my best freind since forever moved back into town,and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. But I’m back and I plan on staying this time.
Dani said
Blah-How did you like the last Harry Potter book. I got it at midnight that night. I thought it was really good.
lwildstar-I am going to finish it tonight. I am taking my time because I want to give it the attention it deserves.
Himmiefan said
Madonna – I love the vampire toy. Adorable!!
Margaret – bless your heart! You’ve got everyone’s sympathies.
Remember, if you’ve finished Harry Potter, check out the article on CNN’s website. Rowling gives info on the characters that she didn’t put in the book.
Anzia said
Madonna- Vampire toy! GREAT! I so want one now! ^_^
I tried coming up with limricks last night… yeah there was a lesson in frutility. Poetry, i can do. Limricks, I can’t. I did write something. It seems kinda dorky now but… I went with the scene that was painting regarding the “hen house.” It seemed all decked out for party so I thought it would be kinda cool if the inside sounded like an invite to a party or award show or something. This is what I came up with:
Mr. Kyle Schmid
Us Hens from Gypsy’s Place would very much like to extend their birthday wishes to you. We felt that you would like to know that we find our looks, while very appealing, are nothing compared to your gorgeous personality and amazing acting talent that you share with the world. You do not just give life to Henry Fitzroy. You bring into existance an entire world for millions. It is because of this we wanted to say, Happy Birthday. We hope that you will find as much joy and happiness on this day as you bring us as our favorite Vamp.
Your Fans,
The Hens
Blah- I’m glad to hear that it wasn’t that bad. ^_^
To everyone who’s sick. Get to bed! Sheesh, at teh Betty Ford BT clinic we have BT running 24/7 and three other channels that play NOTHING but Christina, Dylan and Kyle movies, shows or whatever. Besides, we have an AMAZING selection of DVDs. There is no reason for ya’ll to be up and moving. Sit in bed, relax, enjoy the gorgeousness that abound around us and I’ll get ya some hot chocolate or tea or coffee or a blow henry pop. ^_^ I really hope ya’ll feel better soon!
Catcornmama- Welcome back! So good to see you! and we are most definitely a talkative bunch. ^_^
Claire- I can’t hide the fact I’ve been christened by a dead mouse. It’s just one of those stories that eventually gets out. ^_^ Besides, i’d be more worried if I’d hit myself with the dead animal than if it had happened by accident. 🙂 I’m glad that the moving is going well. I promise to set up a massage session with you and Emmanuel and Henry as soon as you’re able *holds up appointment book* see, lots of free time on their schedule right now… soo… you’ll be TOTALLY satisfied by the time they’re done. ^_^
I love the idea of sending the dog biscuit recipie (did i mention my lousy spelling abilities?). And I have a question for ya’ll… what are you sending as your ‘greetings’ on the card thinger? I have NO IDEA what to say besides, “happy birthday” and that seems a bit…i don’t know distant?
Anzia said
okay, so it doesn’t sound like an invit to anything…
Anzia said
Rifkind- I’m so sorry! ((HUGS)) You have my prayers dear!
*whispers* it would be so much easier if I just started a list of things I wanted to say while READING the posts… then I wouldn’t keep remembering things and come back and such.
Madonna said
Anzia,
I really like it. It’s touching and I think it will help him to understand that we aren’t just a bunch of crazy chics. This will probably be a 2-3 page card so maybe we can put Dani’s poem on the first page with the image and then yours on page 2 or vice-versa. Y’all let me know how you want me to do it.
As far as what to say in your greeting…… Say what you feel and wish him a Happy Birthday! PG-13 of course. LOL!!!!
Do we want to get the vamp dog toy or not. If so we need to order it and maybe get expedited shipping. It would probably be best to have it shipped directly to Lady A’s to cut out the middle man.
DIZEY1 said
HI **Z** girl , I liked it as UN-HENRY would say. It was good maybe it could be like an invitation to the Academy Awards.
Anybody got Madonna’s email, I have it at home but for some reason don’t have it in my work address book, please and thank you 😉
lwildstar said
Thanks Dani – I’m just nervous because this is my first foray into fanfic – and I want to the charactors justice.
Anzia – the card note looks good! so how are we working the $?
ok just popped in because I needed a quick break…. I think we are getting close to needing a new thread – taking too long to open this one – someone what to email Ms.Gypsy? or I can do it when I get home tonight.
Madonna said
Dizey,

Dani said
Ok gals I am outta here for the night. Oh and the younger guy wants to meet at a hibachi place on Saturday night. I am not sure if I really want to. I just don’t think he is right for me.
Anyways
Ciao!

You have to read the transcript of J K Rowling talking about the Deathly Hallows..
SPOILER ALERT : DO NOT CLICK on the link if you haven’t finished the book yet!
http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/7/30/j-k-rowling-web-chat-transcript
Himmiefan said
Hey Anzia! I think it sounds great!! At some point, are we explaining what Hens means, as in Henry’s Hens?
I had to laugh when you said that you need to take notes as you read through the posts. All over my desk on various Post-It’s, note pads, even work documents, I’ve got scribbled various names from the blog with notes on what to respond to.
Madonna said
Himmiefan,
Dani is working on revamping her earlier poem to explain the hens, minxes etc….
vicki said
hey all…
Man I have got to log on more often I missed all kinds of things….
Rifkind…My prayers are with your city..I was watching CNN for about two hours last night.. so sad..
Margaret…LOVED the “you know your obsessed” video…So true…I will have to watch it again…and again…
I did finish the Harry P book..It was awesome!!
BTW…I didnt know that Kyle’s birthday is soon.. What day??? My son, Xander, will turn 4 on Sunday..and he wants a motocycle cake…where did that come from?? Is that a boy thing??? I didnt have brothers…and my other child is a girl..and besides…he likes Wonder Pets..and Backyardikins….I dont think he has any motorcycle toys…Hmmmm should I worry?? Is my son destined to be a Hell’s ANgel??? LOL Oh well…as long as he is happy.
Himmiefan said
Rifkind – Excellent!! The CNN story just summarized some of what she says. This is the whole chat. Thanks!
DIZEY1 said
Hey Ms. Miss Madonna I just sent my Kyle B’day note. I hope it’s ok let me know. OCD!!! that’s me. I could never be a writer it would never make it to paper.
Mom found a colapsable (sp) bowl waaaay inexpensive. I may go online and see if there are any others out there. This one just happens to be RED 🙂
lwildstar said
Dani – go for it!
Blah said
Dani-I liked it but I was a bit dissappointed in the Epilouge (sp?). So How’s everyone been?
vicki said
Blah..I too was disappointed somewhat with the epolgue…But that link to the Leaky Caldron is nice..it is J.K. telling us all the stuff we wanted to know…
catcornmom said
Well, I feel in good company with my fall. What a clutzy group!! I don’t require surgery. It’s not hurting that bad. Although today I was sitting in a massaging chair getting a pedicure today and one of the little massager things kind of hit my tailbone and I almost flew out of the chair….OUCH!!
The vampire dog toy is sooo cute!! What a great idea!
Could someone repost those names/addresses for postcards? I’m going to get some postcards and I don’t want to go back through 2000 posts if I don’t have to.
I enjoyed the Harry Potter book. Although, it surprised me when I was reading it in public how many jerks wanted to spoil it for me. I also noticed a sign on a light post close to my house and all it had on it typed out was 6-7 names from Harry Potter… soso DIED soso DIED soso DIED. It just had a big list. I think only one of them was actually correct, but anyone familiar with the books would know that names were from Harry Potter. I’m sure it was just some clown with nothing better to do than put up signs to try and ruin the surprise for everyone!! Thanks for the Leaky Caldron website. That was fun to read.
The YouTube video for BT addiction was great. There are a lot of Blood Tie videos on there now. Some people are sooo creative putting different scenes together!
Well, I find I can’t sit too long. TTFN!!
Lady Afrodyte said
omg… it just took me well over an hour to catch up!!!!!
email me at afrodyte5150 at gmail dot com and catch me up on whats happening with the gifts. I got a little confused as I read. Eep!
Oh! But on the dog treat thing… I was part of a gift exchange for a cat community and got a little book on how to make your own cat treats, it came with a little fish shaped cookie cutter. Simply adorable!!! It it one of y favorite gifts ever, and my cats are really happy too!
DIZEY1 said
Lady A I got a colapsiblle (sp) dog bowl in red I went online and found a site w/cookie cutters and recipe book etc. I’ll put the link here see what ya’ll think.
If it’s a go I’ll order it and send it to you w/the bowl and can all ship together??
COOL w/you ? 😎
DIZEY1 said
Lady A , I also loved that the manu.of the tin & cookie cutters was GourmetSleuth.
Funny but all roads lead me to …..Henry/Kyle
“Last time we played sleuth I didn’t feel so good” I watched that epi this morning.
GOD………IS IT OCTOBER YET??????? I miss Henry.

Dizey!
You ROCK Girl!
I love the cookie cutters.
Some of the gals had other health food recipes for dog biscuits and Dani was going to make some hand-made cute recipe cards.
I think this is so special!
Count me in folks and let me know how much I owe you!
Madonna said
Don’t you gals love it. It seems that we are trying to get to Kyle’s heart through his dog. I think I am going to check into seeing about that dog toy tonight.
Lady A,
Can you go ahead and email me your home address? Is it OK if I get it to have them ship it directly to you?
DIZEY1 said
Ok ya’ll I’ll check in when I get home.
au revoir jusque plus tard à mes amis. Je t’aime !
Margaret said
You can address the letters to either: Susanne Daniels, Head of Programing, or Andrea Wong, President, or audience relations.
Anzia: Is it our looks or his looks on your message?
lwildstar-My hat is off to you if you have to go through those things every 18-24 months. The procedure was a breeze but the prep was a ….###. I can take just about anything but tossing my cookies which is what that solution made me do. So my heart goes out to you.
As far as the rosary, card, cookie cutters and recipe for dog biscuits count me in. Maybe Kyle’s girlfriend can make them for Cali. Just let me know where to send the check.
DIZEY1 said
Madonna that’s cuz’ we’re all animal people too. That ‘s how someone could get to me is to love my pets, we’re a pcakage deal. If the cookie cutter’s are a go let me know I’ll order and ship it and the colapsible bowl together.
TTFN XOXOXOXOXOX Beth
rifkind said
Yes Madonna,
We have it fugurd out.
To get into a man’s heart, you have to show that you love his children… and our pets ARE our children, aren’t they?
DIZEY1 said
Kyle’s a smart man he can bake those for his baby. No girl needed 😦 (hee hee hee)
rifkind said
I’m sure that the Hen’s would all offer to go to HIS place and make cookies..
😉 and. . . . . . Hee Hee!
Madonna said
I’m sure he is gonna be pretty well off soon. He’ll probably just have is help do it for him.
Lady Afrodyte said
Ok, Madonna I emailed you.
I’m going to go lay down, I feel a migraine coming. Hopefully a nap will help.
Peace!
Margaret said
Maybe we can tell Kyle that Tanya can vouch for us and that none of us were the stalkers that he’s had in LA or Vancouver. lol.
Madonna said
We can do that Margaret. I however think that we can make this sincere enough that the only thing he’ll think is that we appreciate him for who he is.
Madonna said
Plus I think it also helps that we are doing this as a group. Stalkers usually operate alone. I think he’ll appreciate it.
Margaret said
Yes, only his mother will know that its not his mind that we’re admiring and hopefully she won’t tell him. lol.
lwildstar said
I’ve lost track…..so whoever is in charge of the gift/card – email me details for $ at LognWldstr@aol.com
Did anyone notice the Henry quote on IMDB? Henry Fitzroy: Passion is at the center of my world. There’s nothing else worth living for.
That is one of top ten!
Found out before I left work today I was informed that the head of HR is coming tomorrow to not just interview some canidates for my old position but to formally announce my move to the new position – ’bout time!
After sitting at work all day my body is stiff all over and my neck is killing me – along with my bad leg – so I can’t move or sit still!
So I am off to a bubble bath to see if that helps.
If I can I’ll check in when I get into work – otherwise (since HR will be “in the house”) I’ll have to wait till tomorrow night…
Printed 20 postcards for tomorrow!
Margaret said
http://andpuff.livejournal.com/
Did anyone catch Tanya’s last post: …….And you guys are totally kicking ass on the letters/postcard thing! I can’t thank you enough!
DIZEY1 said
Madonna, was my Kyle thingy ok?? To wordy? Do I need to re-do it ?
DIZEY1 said
Margaret SEE we ROCK!! I may never be able to write with my had again but my **BLOOD TIES** are well worth the writers cramp. 😉 🙂
DIZEY1 said
I guess nobody’s around I’ll check back a little later.
Margaret said
Dizey: I’m writing postcards….

Dizey…
I am here..and feeling out of the loop…
Its my fault been busy and I havent checked in lately…(((Sighs)))
I need to watch some more BT>>.>>>
Is it Oct. yet????
Madonna said
Dizey,
Your message is perfect. I think he’ll love the sentiments!!!! The limericks are very cute. I assume you do, but do you want me to include them too?
Vicki,
Don’t feel out of the loop. Kyle’s birthday is August 24th. I’m making Kyle’s B’day card and we’re all gathering gifts to send to him. Everything will go to Lady Afrodyte’s and she will send them all in one package. If you want to include a message for Kyle’s card please email me by tomorrow night. I would have emailed you to let you know but I don’t have your email address.
MadonnaJPike@aol.com
DIZEY1 said
Thanks Madonna I thought it might be too much or I dunno. The limericks it’s up to you if you like , we keep. I’m easy, but by now everyone knows that(no life). Ok on the cookie cutters should I order those ? or do ya’ll want to look online and see if you like something else. That colapsible bowl is ok but I may see if they have a nicer one. I’ll be back.
Himmiefan said
Margaret – I just watched the addicted to Blood Ties video. It’s great!!
Madonna said
I’m still looking for the dog toy. Every place I’ve looked is either out of stock or wants way too much for it. I’ll keep you informed.
I have a question for y’all. Do you want me to label the hens hanging out of the house with our names? I’ll include some if only some want to or none, doesn’t really matter. If so, any volunteers to be the drunk hen or hens? I’m thinking of doing a drinking game tie-in.
Madonna said
BTW…. With regards to the Addicted to Blood Ties video…. I have an LCD screen at home and at work. I have to conciously remind myself not to lick it.
Himmiefan said
Um, licking the screen is bad? 🙂
Oh, more Potter stuff: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/19935372/
DIZEY1 said
Madonna sure go ahead I’ll be a drunken Henry Hen 😉 I think it would be cute. Gotta go grab something to eat it’s getting late and I’ll try and check in before I crash.
Himmiefan said
By the way, I have another Henry song: Thunder Island. When it came on my iPod, I was looking at Dizey’s avatar and, you know, it just kind of fit (looks down, shuffles feet)…
Margaret said
Don’t know how many of you have tried the revamped lifetime site but it SUCKS!! Hard to navigate and won’t take my password.
Rifkind said
margaret,
What URL do you use to get to Lifetime?
The ones that I had bookmarked don’t seem to work.
Margaret said
I had it bookmarked. It got me there but kept telling me my password was gone. Bizarrely enough it’s let me play the episodes without signing in. Its a real pain to navigate, loads slow, and there doesn’t appear to be any new news. I went to their contact us and told them I wanted to know if/when they were purchasing additional episodes of BT past the 22, that it wouldn’t take my password, and the new website stinks and is too slow to load.
Rifkind said
I finally got into the ‘NEW’ site.
Their SEARCH engine is in need of a majore overhaul!
I can’t FIND the Blood Ties Board anywhere!
Margaret said
Try searching Blood Ties and see if it will let you sign in, usually under the photos.
Rifkind said
OK, So I fiinally got to a spot where I could try to log in on Lifetime.
I had to click on the OK to submit button twice.
Then it took me to a “NEW’ member screen.
It looks to me like they want to collect even MORE info on the LT membership..
filled in the screens and reentered my password..
so now I am logged in, but don’t know IF I will find the Blood Ties Board or not…
Did they even do ANY smoke testing on the site?
I would guess that for anybody on dial-up, the site will be impossibly slow and difficult to get anything to work.
Madonna said
Definitely not a site made for us dial-up people that’s for sure. And oh good lord…. it’s all pink! How cliché is that. Don’t get me wrong, I like pink but I’m thinking Pepto Bismol when I look at their site.
I finally placed the order for the vampire dog toy and it is winging its way to Lady Afrodyte. It’ll probably reach her in about a week.
Dizey,
Did you have any luck with the dog bowl and cookie cutters?
Any other takers on being a drunk hen or on my labeling the hens with names? Dizey has graciously volunteered. I could use at least two.
Well, I’m off of here for tonight. Don’t forget to email me your greetings.
Goodnight gals!
DIZEY1 said
MADONNA thanks so much for doing all this. I’ll order the cookie cutters tomorrow and I’m gonna see if I can find a better portable bowl. I’ll bet my drinking buddy Dani girl will be a drunken Hen with me. Anyway I’m gonna crash and will chat with ya’ll when I get to work in the AM 🙂
Oh and the LT site makes this HUGE SUUUCKING sound. I had to re-register and I don’t know where the blogs are. Very baaaadddd!!
Love ya’ll XOXOXOXOX
Beth
reves doux d’Henri/ Kyle 😉
Margaret said
Rikind: So did you sign in as a totally new member or what. Did you notice when you try to sign in as a new member it asks how old you are. I tried to do the new member thing and it wouldn’t let me do that either. I’m quiting for the night and finishing my postcards. I’ve emailed them and told them how much I loved the new site, NOT.
Claire said
Madonna I sent you Kyles note..please let me know how it is…I think it’s stiff..but I didn’t want to go all gushy on us having the same birthday and how beautiful he is LOL!!
Anyway I think I like the idea of labeling all the hens with our names…just make sure mine has long dark red curly hair and speaks FRench LOL!! 😉
Wow tonight Nikki and I loaded the car 7 times…I’m beat..Chris is off tomorrow…his turn…truck for the heavy stuff coming on Saturday.
Beth email me babe…with costs for doggie gift
pour maintenant je dirai bonne nuit…et rêver de mon beau Henri/Kyle courant ses doigts dans mes cheveux.
XOXOXOXOX Claire
Laurel said
I would like to share in the cost of the gifts for Kyle and Cali. Who do I send $$ to and what is the damage?
Madonna – I will send a short e-mail message for you to include. I could be a background hen but not drunk. 🙂 I may be a Mike’s minx but I do love Henry too!
I am afraid to go to the LT site. Maybe I will wait until Saturday to check it out, I am too frazzled from my week as the craft diva to deal with any @%# from a website that was working fine before they “fixed” it. Do we have any idea if Tanya will be joining us again in October? I really thought that added a great deal of pleasure to the whole experience.
Chery said
The new lifetime site sucks! it will not let me in to the board and says it does not recognize my e-mail address……..
They hardly mention Blood Ties at all folks.
catcornmom said
Madonna- I’m a hen….I could be a drunken hen. Why am I drinking??
Rifkind said
OK Gals try this link
http://www.lifetimetv.com/lifetime-topics-search?filter1=blood+ties
Then at the top of the page in the ORANGE buttons.. (What an ugly color!)
click on sign-in… if you have cookies on your machine, I THINK that part of your user information will be displayed //
I had to put in my password and go through the page where they try to get you to sign up for newsletters and stuff.
(At least all the boxes don’t come PRE-CHECKED like a lot of sites have done!)
See if that works for you
Anzia said
You can label me as a drunken Hen. ^_^ Not true but, I’ll totally celebrate! ^_^ Tequila Sunrise baby! 😉
And I was refering Kyle’s looks. Was it that really confusing?
Rifkind said
I wrote a post on what I did.. but it might be stuck and waiting to be approved.
If it doesn’t show up by tomorrow, I’ll re-write it.
I seem to have lost a long post on Lifetime too! UGH!
Night All!
Margaret said
I ended up with the same thing being posted three times. I hate the new website, it stinkssss.
Laurel said
elizabeth – Are we still on for lunch? I forgot to check in with you this week but I am still planning on meeting you somewhere at around 12:30 if that would work. I can’t locate your e-mail at the moment and my computer seems to have lost my address book. I didn’t know it could do that. 😦
I did find your phone # so I will call you in the morning and see where you want to meet. I will probably have both of my girls because they are helping me at VBS this week and I won’t have time to get them lunch and drop them at home. Besides, Sarah really liked going to lunch with us before and hates to be left out. 🙂
Talk to you in the morning!
Gypsy – was it hot enough for you this week? I hope you are doing well, and I hope we can get together next week.

Margaret,
>> I had it bookmarked. It got me there but kept telling me my password was gone. Bizarrely enough it’s let me play the episodes without signing in.
I’ve never had to log in. I’ve got Tanya’s bloodblog (the main link) bookmarked and it still works.
Just saw part of NORMAN.. morbid curiosity about the night scene.. yep, it was night when Norman (as Henry) showed up.
Anyway, when Norman went over to Henry’s as Vicki, and Henry was oblivious to Norman’s presence at first – the first time I watched that scene (during it’s actual airing), I had a really hard time getting past the whole “IT’s NORMAN!!!! not VICKI..!!!” But maybe with the volume low enough I didn’t get too ensconced into Henry looking forward to taking care of “more important business” with that NOT being Vicki he was kissing. My goodness!! He really got into that one, (especially) first and 4th times before he got pushed away.
😛
re: everyone else.. ((((((((((HUGS!!))))))))))) and prayers!
Madonna,
as for the e-mail for Kyle, I’m sort of speechless (mind went numb, can’t think after I shared everything else). I’m not very good with creative writing poems anyway. But I do wish Kyle-
“a very HAPPY, HEALTHY, and *fun-filled* Birthday and year ahead!” 😀
(= AlisaSG )
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to send something before tomorrow 7pm (EST-NY time), because I may have to go grocery shopping, and not sure how quick I can think or type and then mail something out. I will try. If not, I’ll snail mail something out. One of my niece’s birthday is somewhere around that date too, so, I need a card for her, also.
AlisaSG said
oh, I also meant to add about watching the video clips on LIFETIME–
and I’m not sure if this is because that’s the first time I’ve seen a NORMAN clip on the Lifetime web site..
the videos do work; however, I’m not sure if there was a change in filming (from what I saw originally on Tv) or if TPTB went to a high digital print for the web site, because the video feed is sort of choppy, as it usually looks on the news when live feeds are done.
The movement is definitely not as smooth in the night scenes, tho the quality of the viewscreen looks very fine (high definition).
AlisaSG said
Rifkind, (((((((((hugs!! & prayers for continued safety!)))))))))))
thank you for letting us know you’re okay (from the bridge incident)
Margaret,
prayers for getting better, soon..
Rifkind said
Thanks for the hugs and prayers AlisaSG!
I walked down to the river today at lunch.
The police had the area cordoned-off so that we couldn’t get close.
There is a parallel bridge that is setup as a walking bridge across the river. It’s an old railroad bridge.. and I was hoping to walk across it.. well they had it CLOSED and only the media could walk out there… bummer. At lunchtime there wasn’t any media folks out there anyway!
I suspect that the media will be going up in choppers to get a better view anyway! That is, IF the state patrol helicopter allows them over the site.. or maybe they have to have the state patrol fly them over the river.. That makes sense, so that we don’t get too many choppers in the confined airspace.
Lots of folks want to show concern and respect.. the walking bridge is not too close to the scene.. and I do KNOW that they are concerned about this being a recovery and don’t want folks too close as they pull the other 30 folks from the river.
I hope that they figure out a proper place for folks to leave tokens of grief and sympathy. Folks here are just still in shock!
lwildstar said
hate the new LT website formate – but I had no problems getting in and finding where to chat – don’t have time to fish around the rest of the stuff this morning. Will play tonight.
mailed twenty cards this morning – that leaves me twenty for tomorrow!

New topic up. It’s at https://msgypsy.wordpress.com/2007/08/03/first-august-topic-and-that-means-were-closer-to-october/
I’ll put anything else I have to say there, just to be consistent. But first my coffee is calling to me.
Madonna said
Good morning all,
Started my sketches for the card. Something else has come up tonight, but I’ll still be working on the card. That just means that you all have until tomorrow morning at the latest to get me your messages.
If you don’t want to email them to me, you can of course just include them on a post here at Ms. Gypsy’s
AlisaSG,
If I don’t receive anything else from you I’ll certainly just use your message earlier.
Claire,
Don’t know if you got your email last night…. I work on a Mac and don’t have any Microsoft software. I can’t open it. Could you please just resend it the the text of your email?
Oh, by the way, what might you say in French if you were at Kyle’s birthday party and maybe a little tipsy?……
Laurel,
Ms. Gypsy,
I’ve got a place for you guys in the card as well. I think you’ll like it.
Claire mentioned to make hers with long curly red hair. Does anyone else have any specific features they want me to bring out on thier Blood Ties hen.
Well girls, I’m off to check out Lifetime’s new site before I start work. Be back this afternoon.
Chery said
Stacey if you are keeping track, I sent my 20 postcards for today.
I cannot get in to register to the lifetime board. It does not recognize my e-mail address.
Also the blurb for the 10 episodes of season one is stupid! It says Vampire Fans! good news! Bloodties has ben renewed for a second season this fall!
Like they have given us something wonderful…………
I hate the new site!!!!
Dani said
Hi guys. I made up the recipe cards last night for the two recipes I found yesterday. They are very cute. I put a dog bone in the upper left and lower right corners and a bat in the upper right and lower left. Going down the right side I put Cali in blue bubble letters. I of course wrote the actual recipes in red.
This is what I came up with last night to revise the poem I wrote. Please tell me if you think it is awful:
Happy Birthday from Henry’s Hens
This birthday gift we want to send
Mike’s Minxes some of us are
That can take us very far
Vicki’s Vices we have one too
For her he does quite coo
The hinxes, you can’t forget them
Hens and Minxes mesh like a gem
A bunch of friends we have now got
Because your vamp style makes us hot
For that, to you, we want to thank
Of course you we would rather spank (JK)
Your sides we wish to flank
We hope you have a happy day
Several wishes now sent your way

And Madonna count me in on the drunken hen. Coconut rum here I come! Woohoo! Everybody loves a responsible lush.

Where in heaven’s name did everybody go?

Dani,
I think everyone packed up and moved to the new thread. I’ll be there in about 20 min. when I can take a break.

“Statistics for Word – Press” definitely forms the main statistical indicators for
the blog. If you are getting an internet business off the ground, or you have been in the game for a while,
but don’t understand why you can’t get a good response from your clients
or prospective clients, than you already know that communication is one of the most important
currencies around when it comes to doing businesses online.
