Let's have a Survey Central potluck supper. What food or drink will you bring?

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ill pass on the tuna sandwich! Thanks! But I've already eaten. Burrrrrrrrrrrp!

I left you a NEW MESSAGE in Forum. 7/22

Had a great time at the Ho'olaule'a kicking it with you & Kristal. What did you guys do with the pictures?? I thought Kristal was going to post it.

I think she will. Let's kick her heels!

Kristal Rose! OOOoooh, Kriiiiistal ROOOooose!
*emits telepathic beams to the operator of the airwaves..."Yes, operator, please page Miss Kristal Rose"*

You go first! **pushes you in that direction ** Go on! I'm right behind you. I got your back!

I don't think she can hear you. **points to the 2nd message above**

Ok, but I'm going to try again from here.
Ahem.

KRISTAL ROOOOSE!

**hands you a megaphone**

I told you, I'm telepathic! I don't need these manmade contraptions to contact KR.
*takes deep, mental breath*

KRISTAAAAAAAL ROOOOOSE!

*mentally growls at Dabbs as she taps her foot and smirks at failing attempts*

[Whispers] She can't hear you!


HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Dabbs! Oh! Oh...there you are, Dabbs. Shucks! You just missed Kristal Rose. Yes huh! Yes huh! I did too talk to her just now, yes huh!
She said to say 'hello', in fact. And she said to be nice to me when she finally does show up - the second time, I mean. In fact, she asked me to not call her through my telepathy any more - I was coming in way too strong.
Yes huh! Yes huh! Dabbs, yes huh! I'm very sure it was Kristal Rose I was talking to.
She left because I couldn't remember why I was calling her.

And she didn't really say to tell you 'hi', I was just being nice. Yes huh yes huh yes huh yes huh!

Damn gurl...I heard that burp clear into Oregon! Cover your mouth next time...will ya?

It's this never-ending potluck she's held here. I can't even move for all the food I've eaten.
psst, Kate. Help me out of here. Dabbs keeps feeding me pies and eggs, and something called flan or something like --

Oh, Dabbs! Hey! What's that you got...on that...dish there?
*mouths the word 'help' to Kate*

HeHeHe...you're on your own baby! Hey Cleo...he said he wants a double portion this time! Here...eat this ice cream cone while Cleo gets you that extra portion.



*hands Nthensome a yummy ice cream cone*

I'm about to make a bodily ejection that you'll hear clear into Oregon.

I ain't afeerd of ya! Go ahead...eeeject away!

*would love to live up to threat, instead masticates with a mouth stuffed with pie, an - entire - pie*
Dabbs: There! For the growin' boy! Oh! Pudding!

Coward!

**sticks her tongue out at you**

I would have done an emo for that,[points to the above comment]BUT I'm still learning & my teacher is on holiday & I have no substitute teacher.

I don't do flan & puddings! I do the oriental food thing,like tempura,sahimi,miso soup,rice green tea ect. >
Nice try tho!

You tell'um Kate!

I will!

I don't do flans, but I have a very rich chocolate pudding cake that I make from time to time. Would you like a whole pan of that?

How's that fire up in Oregon?

We have one down here a few miles south of me in Julian.

Which fire? We have ones going on in the area of Sisters, Oregon (95% contained), smaller ones near the Coburg Hills and the Oakridge/Westfir area, one near The Dalles, Oregon and the biggest ones are the Florence Creek/Sour Bisquit fires near Cave Junction, Oregon. They are the two worrisome fires as they are both large and are within just a couple of miles of merging. If they merge it's gonna get REALLY bad! All the fires we currently have going are caused by lightning with the exception of the Coburg Hills and Oakridge/Westfir fires. Their cause is as yet unknown, but I suspect that the Coburg Hills fire was probably caused by human hand as the land is owned jointly by Weyerhauser and the BLM. In the case of the Sisters/Black Butte fire...the people were allowed to return to their homes Wednesday and in the Cave Junction area they have been evacuating a refuge and rehabilitation center for abused and retired animals. Most of the people in Cave Junction are ready to evacuate at a moment's notice if the two fires merge.

You know this was in reference to how often I end up back here, don't you? (Not to your food! I'd NEVER!)
Then, Kate kept making me want to juke all over the place, she was really no help at all, she was antagonizing. Yes huh!
Hey! Let's surprise Dino with something! Anything! We'll go through with how to do just two impressive things - even if we have to write them down, just for the joke on Dino.
Oh, boy! This is gonna be so GREAT! How abooooouuut...?

1) Taking and pasting an emoticon from a distant site, aaaaaaand...
2) Doing an italics or bold in your text.

If you're interested, #2 is sooooo simple!
There is "open bold" (or "open italics", whichever you're doing), then "close bold" (or "close italics"), that's it!

Open bold: <b> Place this before the word you want bolded
Close bold: </b> Place this after the word you want bolded

That's it! If you're doing italics, it's the same thing! Just put an "I" where the "B" is above. Wanna try it? Come on! Please oh please oh please!

Okay, how do I start?? ..................#2??

BTW How have ya been? I haven't been on for a few days.Plus I'm having a bit of trouble with my E-mail Don't know what's wrong now! I went to "Systems Restore" But it did nothing. > Does your Compac have a systems restore? Mine did nothing for my E-mail.

Geeze Kate I had no idea that you guys had SO many going on. We only have the one (located a few miles from here). Are any of them in your general area?? From where I am I an see the white smoke over the mountains. Still a ways away tho. I'm not worried about it cause they have it 50 percent contained.

The Coburg Hills fire (which they haven't released a cause for yet) and the Oakridge/Westfir fires aren't that far away. The Oakridge/Westfir (which was caused by vandals messing with Bonneville Power Administration power transformers) is pretty well gone and the Coburg Hills fire (which is the closest to me) is as well. I could see the smoke from the Coburg Hills fire, but then the hills are quite visable where I live so that's no big surprise.

Ohhhhhhhh! Your a little close tho. The first day the fires started here I could smell *& see the smoke. The next day, the sun was like a blood red. Scary! Almost biblical like. I could barely see the smoke this morning but, then again it's still early.

I'm just glad I don't live in Cave Junction (where the Sour Bisquit/Florence Creek fires are). They have an air inversion and the whole Illinois Valley area is thick with the smoke from the fires. It's thick enough from what I've read that the sun can't be seen.

WOW! That IS thick! The only other time that I've ever experienced a fire that bad, was back in '95' We had ashes falling down around us for 2 or 3 days.Boy was that scary! The fire was in a little city called Winchester about 12 miles from here. The air was thick with the smell of burning wood for days after. Didn't lose to many homes just a lot of forest like trees.

Yikes...that's pretty scary!

You getting any ashes around you??

No, the 2 smaller fires near me didn't produce that much ash and didn't burn that much. I just read on CNN.com that the Cave Junction fire is now the largest in the nation. Cave Junction is quite a bit south of us, but here is a link showing you how bad the visability is there: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/04/oregon.wildfires/index.html

Type something in bold for me.

Just type:

<b>This is bold</b>

Pat me on the back! Now all I gotta do is learn the emo thingy again. But in baby steps

YAY YAY YAY!
Just replace the "b" there with an "i", and you get (type this):

<i>This is italics</i>

Now, tomorrow, just casually insert that into conversation with Dino! On words you want to stress!

YAY YAY YAY, DABBS!
*cheerfully pats Dabbs on the back*

Thanks For being my teacher!

You missed your calling!
You would make an Excellent instructor

**hands you a nice delicious shiny new red apple**

My homemade chicken and spinach lasagna

*licks off the thick, candied coating from the apple, walks away, smiling*

Smarty @$$!!

It's candy coated super glue.>

*drool* You have any on you right now?

No, but I do usually spill some on my shirts. That's why I never eat pasta with good clothes on. :)

I can never eat pasta without dripping some red sauce down my front! Or a hot fudge sundae without getting some hot fudge on my top.

Last week on one of my daily breakfast outings to McDonal's I dripped ketchup on my cream colored slack. Didn't notice it until half way to work.

I hate when I do that and don't notice it until later. I start wondering how many people noticed it and were snicking about it!

I've had worse happen. Won't mention it here

Are you sure you want to leave it up to MY imagination? I can get pretty perverse!

Whath thath you thay? Thuper goo?

meatballs!

**whacks you with her bottle of super glue**

Take that you wascle you!

Homemade sushi.

I would make chocolate chip cookies to share

I would choose from the variety of things I know how to prepare (which is basically equal to almost nothing) and get Nestle iced tea.

Hi! How have you been?
