When All The Doors Close

[Kathy in FL]

Not underwater ... came close but no cigar. We built on the highest part of the property for more than one reason (wink).

However, we were stuck and unable to get out until today ... almost got stuck twice but the Good Lord gave us a boost and I was able to drive through it with only a little slip and sliding.

Back in Tampa now but facing a couple of tons of work. I won't be posting any story tonight, my apologies; we need to get our workload all lined up. Lost a few shingles on our own roof that will have to be fixed before the next rain as well.

[sssarawolf]

Good to hear you are back safe and sound, and good luck getting that work done.

[debralee]

Glad to hear your ok. Real life comes first, so do what you need to, we understand. Be careful fixing those shingles.

[Sportsman]

Kathy, Thank you for providing what writing you can. We know you're drowning down there, so take care of business first.
We'll be here when you get some free time later.

Good to hear that you and yours came through the storm okay. I was wanting to ask Kathy about the brand of soap you use to make your laundry soap. You had posted it a long, long time ago, in a tree far, far away, but I lost the reference. Would you please re-post the name of the soap? Right now I use Fels Naptha, but I remember that your brand was different. TIA

[RVM45]

You have both my Hopes and more importantly, my Prayers for your continued Safety and General Well-Being Kathy.

[methos]

Calgon or any of the old soaps that don't have scent in them. I use ivory quite a bit as well. Octagon if I can find it but it is as hard as the dickens to find anymore. Also those "bars" of laundry soap that you can use on baby clothes.

Zote is another one I have a bunch of in the closet.

Hope this helps.

[Jimbopithecus]

Yes it does! Octagon was the one I was trying to remember. Thank you very much!

Kathy must be on full clean up mode this weekend.

Kathy - hope you're doing OK and enjoying the Fourth. Please take time to shoot off some fireworks for those of us in CO that can't!!

[Kathy in FL]

Sending lots o' love out to my chicks. (wink) Thanks for thinking of me on this 4th as I was thinking of you all. Roofs still in progress and it seems our own home may be one of thos that has to be redone. Maybe only a repair, we'll have to see. At least it isn't leaking IN the house but on under-roof lanai. And yeah, we worked this morning but had family and friends come over this afternoon and just got back from church where we listened to some wonder patriotic music followed by an outstanding fireworks display that was put on for the community by our congregation.

Happy 4th Y'all!

[kaijafon]

and trouble just seemed funner somehow

so now I'm about to go and find some cause I'm sad there is no MOAR

[sssarawolf]

The other day when I was working around the house I kept thinking I was forgetting something that I wanted to do. Then I realized, yeah, reading the rest of this story is what I wanted to do, but I can't because there is no rest of the story yet. More please.

+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

hmm is that enough zero's or do we have to start stomping around and going after little woodland creatures...

[kaijafon]

Keith Richards stopped by to see if there was any MOAR cause ya know, I told him this was a great story

of there being no more MOAR!

so I had to 'medicate' him while we wait

[Vtshooter]

Kaijafon you should seriously consider writing a story illustrated with your "characters". Would probably be a fun read!

[debralee]

I 2nd that idea Vtshooter. I tend to get the giggles when Kaijafon does those cute posts.
Hope Kathy can get that roof fixed soon. I'm having withdrawal and might need to be "medicated".

how about a lollipop?
only slightly used...

[kaijafon]

so me and my cow were dancing in the afternoon sun.

when I heard a strange noise

did my cow fart, I wondered

no it was just my neighbor coming in for a landing

he only got slightly flattened

[Vtshooter]

Kaijafon, that's a great start! And nice of you to keep us entertained while we wait for Kathy's return.

debralee, be careful with the "medications", you may miss a new chapter.

[Kathy in FL]

Give me through the weekend y'all to get to a catch up point. This has been a rough week or so. Summer normally is rough but this one is taking the cake. And hubby is going on a father/son vacation towards the end of August so we need to get things prepped up and running smooth before then.

[kaijafon]

NO!!!!! lol! just joking. we know family is first. We just miss ya! we'll be here when you are ready!

I'll try to behave

[debralee]

Kathy we be waiting and anticipating what is in the next chapter.
Kaijafon does that lollipop have a tootsie roll center? Those are the good ones. Slightly used will work..as long as you didn't drop it and get hair on it..

[kaijafon]

yes the lollipop DOES have a tootsie roll center!

no cat hair either! lol!

this is who I got it from:

[kaijafon]

[debralee]

I knew something didn't taste right. lol

[Sportsman]

Wow! This wait is getting to me. Seems like it's been over 100 degrees for weeks here. Wait, it HAS been.

Guess I'll have to start reading the story over from the beginning whenever Kathy has time to post another chapter.... .what with oldheimers and all...

~Sportsman

[SheWoff]

Hubby just came by my puter and seen me cryin over no new up dates to the story...this is what he says!

[Rabbit]

1003, just checking again.

[kaijafon]

1003, just checking again.

you can swing with me while we wait for MOAR, if ya want to....

I already tried clapping to make "MOAR" appear

didn't work.

So I tied dyed myself in protest for MOAR

that just made a mess and got me laughed at

so I thought I'd

but the neighborhood thought my cat had someone rock over her tail, she has no tail....

I've had a lack of sleep

cause it has been so long that I have nightmares that this

I know that can't be true cause Kathy would NEVER leave us forever!

So I will and patiently wait for MOAR.

and maybe take a bath while I wait

I hope that weird neighbor isn't around trying to peek in my windows

[debralee]

Kaijafon you have to say abbracadabra BEFORE you clap your hands.
Do you live on my street? That neighbor looks like the weirdo that just moved in across the street.
Guy really freaks me out.

[kaijafon]

"abbracadabra"




what the heck?

someone turn me back please!

[Rabbit]

kaijafon you sure take the sting out of no new chapter. lol

[debralee]

I swear you crack me up ..lol

[sssarawolf]

LOL good one.
