You have to look at his thread to see the post re left/right brain.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

My left brain isn't working. Now I have an excuse!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Don't worry Ronda, my left brain isn't working either. And my hubby's right brain isn't working, so together we probably make a perfect fit. Nuts and Nuttier! ;D

Has anyone seen Johnny and Barbara??? Johnny..are you out there???

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny and Barbara are out here but very busy getting their new house in order. Both were at Crispers but at 2pm and thought everyone had already left. They also have no computer with them so only pick up their emails at Savannah.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Thanks Bright, we were getting concerned. Good to know they are involved in happy exciting things.We all know how time consuming getting settled can be, but it sure is a happy busy isnt it?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi everyone, we are back in NJ. Sorry we missed you Sam. We did get so much done and had a great time while we were there. Thanks for thinking of us.

Topicop Alert :cop: :cop: :cop:

Sam, Gracie want to talk to you about Koi.
For some reason, :dontknow: she is hijacking my Canadian luncheon thread with talk of fish. Not sure of the connection ... perhaps she is meaning to offer up her Koi as an appetizer for our Canadian luncheon.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bare, that is sheer sacrilege. These are koi. They are special. The baby koi I have now are alive because of me. Their Mom came in from Japan. I had a good idea of when she would spawn so I built a small rock walled pool in the pond. When she spawned and I saw a big male cover the eggs, I swooped in and gathered (some of) the eggs before they became fish food. I fed them boiled egg yolk after they hatched. We bonded. Koi are very social fish. They will eat from your hand. When they see you approach they come swimming up. They know a handout is at hand!
My pond is in Pa. I won't have one here. I don't wish to spend that much time on upkeep anymore.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam this reminded me of my beloved black and tan cocker spaniel, Bubba Lou Cole. When Bouvier (my 16 yr old blind and deaf spaniel) gave birth every other pup was breach. Pup #1 was Bubba. He was still born. I ran around the house screaming and praying for help. Instinctly I covered his whole snout with my mouth and sucked! 2 times and Bubba Lou was born! Bouv had 7 pups. 4 breach. PS I have a surprise for you! I sketched your view from the avatar. I left a tree out as it would have been unbalanced and would loose its flow. 1 too many happy trees per Bob Ross!! LOL

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Ronda. What a great story. I know you recognize the bond I have with those fish. I can't wait to see your sketch!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Happy July to all. If you are not in TV, summer is a wonderful time to be here.
Johnny..I'm talkin' to you!!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hey Sam we are trying. Another setback today. The person who is supposed to be the letter writer for the attorney review period is on vacation. I have an extension of attorney review until Monday, July 7th. Who knows :dontknow:, we are just living day to day on this mess right now. I do know one thing, we own a home in TV, it's just a matter of time before we get to live in it. ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Love the positive attitude!! Won't be long!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Don't pull out your hair in the meantime! ;) You'll be here soon.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Roger!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

This is not a hairy situation, Sam! I know hairy when I see it, believe me!!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

This is for Barefoot......

Oh Johnny Oh....that is sooooo cute!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Is Barefoot from the Blackfoot Indian Tribe?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam

You are so witty...lolol....love it!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam those are her barefoot imprints as she walks across a glass atrium somewhere in Canada :bigthumbsup:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Thanks Johnny, those barefeet are so cute. The little feet cheered me up and I needed it today.

Speaking of house woes, this story should make you feel better. My prospective purchasers just did a building inspection and the inspector found mold in the attic. This is regarded as an extremely serious, toxic problem. The "mold busters" informed me today it can cost as much as $12,000 to remedy a large attic.

And I don't even have the incentive of full-time residence in TV to motivate me. I'll still be exiled to Canada six months a year.

Oh, I miss TV and everyone soooooooooooo much. :'(

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Barefoot I am so sorry for your dilemma. We are, as a matter of fact, having our buyers doing their private inspection tomorrow at 3:30pm. Our CO inspection is scheduled for July 15th and our closing for July 21st. The kicker is we still can not get a letter from the township and builder which this whole deal is contingent upon. Still in God's hands. Hope you find a way out of your problem. Make sure to get a few estimates from reliable resources, although I am sure Rick is on it. Prayers going out, Johnny

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Oh Bare, I am so sorry your going thru this mess,Your too sweet to have all these trial and tribulations to deal with. Prayers and good wishes going out your way!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bare, I would get a second opinion as well. Can you spray it with clorox? That's my cure for all ills ;). Seriously, I am a clorox freak. Did you look on the net to see if you can find a simple fix? Are you sure this guy isn't full of crap??

OK, I just looked. Seems clorox doesn't kill mold. I saw all sorts of things that do ,however.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

:( Oh Bare, I'm so sorry. Mold is awful, my friend in Chicago had to go through the same thing. Sending you lots of white light, love and prayers too. chels

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

From what I read, you need to send some ozone up to our Bare. It's supposed to kill mold.
Of course that may be an internet scam. Who knows?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

The church across the street from our church was flooded when they had a new roof put on. The roofers removed the old roof and then the heavens opened up and poured rain for days -- and we never get rain like that in Utah! It was so sad. They had just installed a new floor in their basketball court and new carpeting in their sanctuary. The water was all down inside the walls, too.

Their insurance company had them run right out and rent ozone generators for the building to help prevent mold. Insurance comanies rarely pay for anything that they think is "experimental," so maybe the ozone generators really do work?
(PS: They took the insurance money and are building a new church out in the suburbs)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Cool..Judy, Thanks. Bare..get some ozone going on or ask someone. I saw a big unit for around 1200.00.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I thought I would move this here in case you missed it on the main board, Johnny

A tribute to the players of "The Freeze", LSL - April 2008.......

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sweet memories

Thank you Johnny!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

That day was so much fun. I will enjoy a repeat this winter or spring at SS. We have to wait for Bare and Susan!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

My little granddaughter is now sound asleep. Praise the Lord!! I've gotten way to used to having all my time to myself and husband, doing as I please 24/7. This is a comeuppence!! She doesn't go back until the 30th. Will I last? I am no longer :super:.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I just looked at the Freeze video posted by Johnny, aaaaaaaaaah, it made my day!! :bow: What a great time we had. For sure we should do it again (when Bright and Susan are both around as they "ran the show" so to speak). Although I believe the whole idea originated with Samhass, great idea Sammy! The highlight of 2008 for sure.

Can anyone post the original Freeze video so we can enjoy it again? (The one where the actual Village entertainment on the stage is singing about the Freezers?). I find that video hilarious.
Great memories. lovehorse

Barefoot in Canada

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Oh Sam, I sure do understand where your comming from. They do take up every bit of our time and attention . As much as we love them, I do believe youngsters are for the very young.

I babysit my two grands every Thursday, and altho I love them to death, I am so ready to give them back at the end of the day! I commend you on taking this on for the whole month of July. You are a saint. ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Just for you Barefoot...

I wonder what happened to Bruce. Haven't seen him here in the forum.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bright, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. :bow:

If I can't be in The Villages, watching the Freeze Video is the next best thing! The comments from the band on the stage make it doubly funny.

What a super time. 1rnfl
Wow, I miss you guys so much. lovehorse

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

We miss you too, Bare...big time!!!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I showed the freeze to my Grand tonight. She thought it was cool!
