Welcome to the Beaver Cafe!

[Muffit]

Welcome one and all! While we wait to see if (when!) our beloved Galactica Cafe reopens, here be a place to rest your lazy bones and be completely silly! Your hosts: the beavers of course! They've been itchin' to make a comeback - well, actually they've just been itchin' - they are hairy after all - so pull up a log and join the fun! I'll start! :D



*Gnawty Beaver walks in carrying a big bucket with some kind of yellow liquid in it. *

Harry: "What the frack is that Gnawty?"

Gnawty: *puffing*"What do you think? You asked for it."

Harry: "And what might that be?"

Gnawty: "You know - what you asked for. Took me half the day and a ton of volunteers."

Harry: "SO WHAT IS IT ALREADY!!!???" :mad:

Gnawty: "A lot of urine, of course!"

Harry: "What???!@#$ No, no, no, I didn't say a lot of urine, I said alot of yahren!!!"

Gnawty: :nervous: "Oooooops... Sure you couldn't use some???"

Harry: "OUT!!! OUT!!! Get yourself a hearing aid for Sagan's sake!!!"

*The room dissolves into laughter*

[shiningstar]

Oh man, I am so glad I found this place!
My friend George Francisco is going to be
so surprised when I bring him here. He's
a Newcomer -- and he just loves beaver
but it's hard finding a place to take him
for lunch and it's my turn next (I also
found out the hard way not to use the
phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a
horse" around him -- man, was that
ever an experience!). So, anyway, can
I make a reservation for two for lunch
on Sunday? Oh....huh? OH.....my bad,
I just thought "BEAVER CAFE" and kinda
assumed that....... OH......no, I'm very
sorry. Really, I mean it -- hey, some of
my best friends are beavers. Yes, well,
thanks anyway...........

Oh, well, maybe I'll just go by the store
and pick something up and invite George
over for lunch and watch a game.........

Little Johnny was taking a shower with his grandma

He casually asked, “Grandma what’s that?” She quickly replied, “That’s my beaver. Little Johnny didn’t say another word.

Two days later he was taking a shower with his mom. Little Johnny asked, “Mommy what’s that?” She replied, “Well Johnny that’s my beaver.”

Little Johnny thought for a bit and said “

Oops I guess I shouldn’t finish this I wouldn’t want to violate the pg 13 rating, sorry about that. Well it’s been a pleasure gnawing on you , I mean with you, I mean chatting with you. :devil: toodles

Something to gnaw on...
Latin name: Castor Canadensis
physical description:"The beaver is highly adapted to it's aquatic life with webbed hind feet, the rudder-like tail, valves that close off the ears and nostrils, skin that seals off the mouth but leaves the incisors free for underwater gnawing and carrying and clear membranes that slide over the eyes protecting them from floating debris. During the early nineteenth century the beaver pelt was the single most valuable commodity, the pelt being used for robes, coats, clothing trims, and top hats. Nowadays the pelt is still highly valued, the flesh and sometimes, the tail are considered tasty but the beaver is now protected from over trapping."

hhhmmm
"the flesh and sometimes the tail are considered tasty..."

is up to her chest ...........my oldest it's up to her waist.
My husband is getting more exercise then he ever dreamed up ..............shoveling
that snow off the driveway ...................just so he can get to work.

We need a couple of more stomes like this to avoid a fire like the one we had in 2000
that made 400 families homeless ..........so pray that Los Alamos and the state of NM
for that matter gets MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SNOW!

a day in the life of; Today I went to school handed in my work on a disk (brand new) as the teacher requested and surprise surprise we could see the file but it wouldn't open, I looked so awful my teacher who is a nurse asked me about it I told her I'd had 12 hours sleep 6 days because I can't stop coughing long enough to sleep and was surviving on adrenalin and will power and feeling like a walking zombie. She told me to go to the doctor right away. I had an apointment anyways so I went but when I got to the skytrain (like a metro,tube, light rail, subway, L, but it's high up above ground) had just sat down when screeching tires and wham! car crash a block away, well great (student nurse firstaid ticket holder and all that I run up to see if I can help but everyone was ok so I ran back to catch the bus, I'm exhausted so I lay down on the bench put my head on my back pack and close my eyes when wham1 some guy dumped his enormous and very heavy back pack on my head!!! well after rubing my head and assuring him I was ok I head off to the doctors get the meds head back home but I get on the wrong bus I even had a choice I stood there and looked at the two buses and picked the wrong one! so it takes me much further away but still drops me off at a skytrain stop but when I got off I didn't recognise where I was despite the fact it was the same station I had just been at earlier (and one I have known well for 10 years!) got on the train and blew past my stop before I realised were I was, took it back to the right stop caught the next bus and promptly fell asleep but someone upstairs took pitty on me and I woke up in time to get off at the right stop and get home, whew! what a day, I am very excited about the possibility of getting a real good night sleep and I get to sleep in tomorrow yeah! this sleep deprevations is killing me (they won't let me do clinical because I'm sick) :) I could really use a cup of tea and just put my feet up

The pressure is on because I've devoted thousands of dollars and 2 years of my life (courses are non transferable) to this (and I'm not a kid anymore) and if I fail this clinical I'm out of the entire program for good (those are the rules) :P: and I tend to be my own worst enemy when I'm stressed. :/: So will be bugging you guys a lot over the next 6 weeks, hope you can "put up" with me:wtf:

If I start sounding really out there it's either the wine or too much stress, :blink:just giving you a heads up :heart:

we'll be here to lend you a shoulder when you need it. That was one thing I hated about being a housekeeper in a nursing home when I was in high school. I got to know so many of the residents and I cried every time I went home from work if we lost a resident that I had become friends with.

Galen, don't worry. I am stressing over my wedding. Just taking it a step at a time to get things done. It don't help when my older sister tries to tell me that she wants all my bridesmaids and maid of honor to have bouquets instead of a coursage which is in the budget I have set for floral expenses. Good thing that I am using silk flowers, that brings down the cost. My mom, myself and my mom's friend who is like an aunt to me is helping with the decorations.

You need to remember hon it's your wedding ........NOT HERS. Your sister
needs to respect YOUR WISHES. I think it's great that you, your mom and your
mom's friend aka your 'adoptive' aunt is helping with the decorations. :rose:

And thank you for your kind words:)

Good For you Bsg1fan. I'm glad you're standing up for yourself. Especially
since YOU are the one budgeting the wedding. Alot of people would just
go all out and not worry about the COSTS until the Bill came due. I give you
alot of credit for planning ahead. :warrior:

[bsg1fan1975]

well its the result of the fact that my parents can't afford to throw a big shindig and my fiance and I are just not able to afford it either! Plus I got invited to the reception for my sister's friends wedding and it stunk royally! I always had a plan for what my wedding would be like and its turning out just the way I like it!

I do know what it's like to be at a reception that STINKS. I was at one where
I didn't even get a meal because the bride's mother invited over 250 guests
for a wedding that was budgeted at 60 guests .......................:wtf:
GO FIGURE.............. I really felt bad for the bride ...........she was appalled
because she went out of her way to keep the wedding within budget.

My wedding it cost $4,000 tops. And that was INSPITE of
people who tried to sabatoge it at every turn. I thank God that I
and my fiance paid for it ourselves and were able to keep the haters
at bay.

[bsg1fan1975]

well we are sticking tight to the budget! Might not even take a week for a honeymoon. Probably will end up taking three days and going to Gettysburg because of funds and his job!

I know people who went camping for their honeymoon .............of course their
'second' honeymoon was in the bahamas .......don't know how much
'camping' they did there. My hubby and I went to Maui with the money we
saved from the wedding.

I'm certian you'll have a terrific time on your honeymoon :)

[bsg1fan1975]

well we both are Civil War nuts!

[shiningstar]

Well the doctors just got through examining me again. Yes I have Pneumonia..........:eek:

I also have Bronchitis ...............:(

So they doubled my meds and told me to get thee to bed ................:(

Get to bed Shining star and rest, that's the best way to get over what you've got.
I hope you're feeling better soon........... before you know it you'll be doing leg lifts :)

[amberstar]

That is bad! I remember alot of nights when I had to sleep siting up in the recliner, due to that stupid gall bladder of mine.
I'm sorry Shiningstar that you're going through this, hopefully you'll be good as new soon!

Amber :rose:

[shiningstar]

:eek: that royally bites!

Well it's better then the nightmare I had last night.

I dreamt my mother decided to move in with me and
made my husband move out. ...........About at the
end of the dream I was in this strange jacket and
my arms were wrapped around me ...............as
I tried to get out of this padded room :eek:

I'll take the bronchitis over THAT any day :thumbsup:

[shiningstar]

Thanks Amberstar .........Thanks BSG1fan

The doctor said I'll start getting better now that he's upped the meds.

A real double wammy! I'm glad you weren't misdiagnosed the way I was, I still can't breath properly my O2 sats are at 97% . Make sure you drink lots of fluids to loosen up all the phlegm. I'm still sitting up in bed too it's been a month of this and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, you just cannot get a good nights sleep like that. Hopefully yours won't last as long. One good thing that came out of this for me is I have a lot more understanding, appreciation and sensitivityy to my patiens with breathing problems. shiningstar since this illness is still so fresh to me and I understand how bad it is I really wish with all my heart I could just make it go away for you. This is the worst virus I've ever seen, it's taken out over 15 students in my program so far. Take good care of yourself:)

[bsg1fan1975]

They just said this morning on the early newscast that the flu virus hasn't gone away in my state. there were more cases reported this last week! Between being miserable with a cold or having my allergies flair up, I'll take my allergies anyday!

I'll keep your state and YOU in my prayers. I think the FLU is the only thing
I haven't caught this year ...........not counting the STOMACH FLu ...........that one
really threw me off.

Ify ou haven't had your flu shot Bsg ..........get it. If not for yourself ..........then
for all the people who care about you. :heart:

[bsg1fan1975]

Haven't had the flu so far, just a bad cold earlier this year! They ran out of flu shots here back in Dec.

[Rowan]

They just said this morning on the early newscast that the flu virus hasn't gone away in my state. there were more cases reported this last week! Between being miserable with a cold or having my allergies flair up, I'll take my allergies anyday!
well the weird thing about this flue is that it combines both there is so much production of mucus for the first few days, (giving you sinus headachs and a very tender nose), it's unbelievable! then the coughing and difficulty breathing start and never seem to end.

[braxiss]

any idea how log this flu thing is suppose to last????

mrs. braxiss and the kids have came down with bronchits.

i feel like i'm walking in a mine field just waiting to get the bug.

[Rowan]

Mine is still hanging on (because it converted to bronchitis and pneumonia) for 4 weeks now, I gave it to my guy with one kiss! so no kissing! (I know poor braxis) wash your hands constantly that's really the key, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands if they haven't been washed and avoid being sneezed or coughed on. You are living in a minefield !:)

[braxiss]

great!!!!

i'm not sure i wanted to hear that,

but then again i did ask.

[Rowan]

Oh ladies, bryan(gemini) has indicated that he wouldn't mind dying at our hands so I thought you might like to oblige him he has said some intersting stuff about us on the "shiningstar has killed 3 basestars" thread ;) :D

[bsg1fan1975]

My arthritis is finally letting up even though it is still raining out here!

[Rowan]

You are way too young to be suffering with that! I'm glad to hear it's letting up though:)

[bsg1fan1975]

ah the pain is gone finally. Hope it doesn't return tonight seeing they are calling for rain /snow to change over to snow late tonight!

[braxiss]

ah the pain is gone finally. Hope it doesn't return tonight seeing they are calling for rain /snow to change over to snow late tonight!

[bsg1fan1975]

Yippppeeee! I may not be cooking tonight! I may be getting dinner elsewhere!

[Rowan]

I'm glad that the pain is gone we have rain here... typical!

I'm very lucky that way my guy does all the cooking, why will you not be cooking?

[shiningstar]

Good for you Bsg1fan. I hope you have a fantastic time ;)

[bsg1fan1975]

Thank you bsg, I think I did all right:) . After the exam I went to the teacher and I explained that I had trouble determining the gist of one of her answers it read " a child can’t tell where the pain is" so I asked did you mean tell as in to speak or tell as in determine? Her reply was that I should go look up the word "tell" in the dictionary.:/: :wtf: So when I got home and looked it up it said this; 1st definition: relate in speach or writting, 8th definition: decide, determine, distinguish. Thank you very much that is so much more clear??!!:/: Yup sometimes I love my teachers and sometimes...

Oh bsg I truly empathise :rose: been there too many times. I hate that time in a pets life, it's so hard and every time I always swear that's it no more and then I cave 'cause I just can't resist. 14 is a good age to live to, and once the kidneys go on an animal it's very hard to make that sustainable. I always imagine that their probably having a blast, young again, pain free chaising the butterflies or some ball , probably thinks I'm a goof , "silly mummy I'm right here can't you see me?".

[bsg1fan1975]

I loved that dog. He was always at the door waiting for us when we got there. It was like he knew we were coming. Kev's mom said that he'd be sitting at the kitchen door five minutes before we got there. I'll miss that Brittany Spaniel, he was a painat times when he wanted to share the couch with you but he was also lovable.

back after having a nice weekend!

[Muffit]

back after having a nice weekend!

That's great Bsg!

Hey all, you might think me a bit out of touch if I mention this, but I finally tried my hand at using a crock pot for dinner. That because my family is tired of me burning dinner when I get sidetracked on the computer ;). So they bought me one (hint, hint).

Funny thing, we received SEVEN at our wedding, but traded all of them in cuz we needed food more than cooking utensils. Well, I gotta say a BIG THUMBS UP to this way of cooking! My first try was a chuck roast stew, and YUM was it ever good! It was so easy too, I just made up the batch while my daughter got ready for school and flipped the switch. And voila, nigh and behold at 5:30 it was ready, with NO checking every few minutes to add water, etc. I sure like that!

Even found a whole website of crock pot cooking ideas. Now if I can just get the fam' to try out new dishes... ;)

:muffit:

[Dawg]

Crock pots are the only way to cook chili.

Been a long time since I've done that, too.

Hmmm. Mrs. Dawg may be in for a treat this weekend......

;)

I am
Dawg
:warrior:

[Muffit]

Hi Dawg! Yup, in fact that's the dish I keep burning. The beans have to cook so long and I get sidetracked sometimes on the computer, I forget to check the water :blush:

:muffit:

[Rowan]

Muffit I did change my handle ;) and frankly I can't immagine you getting sidetracked on the computer...:laugh:


Crock pots are how my boyfriend makes his chili too, and curried chicken:)

I had the same problem with cooking a roast in the oven. It took forever! So, the last time I went to visit my parents they sent me home with a new appliance. A roaster oven. Now I just add water, meat and my veggies and let 'er rip. In two hours I have a no fuss and very little to clean up dinner! These things are a gift from the gods!

[Rowan]

Well I had to share this with you guys...
Remember I told you a little about the "great teachers" we have at my school and some of my problems well recently there has been a great deal of turmoil in my semester and the students got together and wrote a letter of complaint to the entire nursing department. I t was unanimously agree to by the entire student body of 4th semester! Here is the Assistant deans response to that letter.

Dear Debbie and the entire Semester Four student Body: (please forward this to all the
students if you like):

I have just received the semester IV letter and I am so very, very proud of the work that
you have collectively produced. As I read the letter, I could not help but feel my heart
swell with pride at the amazing work you have all done. The letter is professional,
constructive, very respectful and very, very hopeful.

I want to thank you for receiving me into "your" classroom and for sharing your
thoughts. It took courage and trust in yourselves and in me.

This process of finding your voices began on February 25th...and I am hoping that
through this very process, you have not only found your voice, but that you are
beginning to feel empowered .This letter certainly signals so.

I want to thank you, for your time and effort in "crafting" the letter.
The letter's language is articulate and sophisticated. If I had to grade this letter is would
get an A+!....

I want to share one of my favorite persons in history, a cultural anthropologist named
Margaret Mead. She has inspired me with her vision and her sense of humanity.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world:
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has".
Margaret Mead.

Thank you for the priviledge of hearing your voices. I am hoping to be invited to your
class at the end of term so we can touch base...over coffee and cookies perhaps?
It will be on me!!

Sincerely

Silvia RN, BSc.N, MA
Assistant Dean
Faculty of Health Sciences

I'm pretty proud of them! what a great group of students:D

Just hang in there. I think with the positive results you and your 'cohorts' (;) )
recieved ..........that the 'teacher's veiled threats' might simply turn to be
for naught. In any case I'm keeping you and your fellow letter writers in my
prayers.

I have a different 'prayer' in mind for that teacher ;)

that all the Preperation H is gone from the shelves.......................................

We got enough snow now where we don't have
to worry about draught restrictions however the
fire restrictions will still be in force. :(

at least I'm feeling alot better today. I'll still be sleeping on the couch though
so I can sleep in a 'sitting' position ...........................ssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhh.

[Muffit]

We have the strangest weather. We have only /two/ seasons (or maybe I should say "too" seasons ;) ) -- too hot, and too cold!

We have no Fall. We have no Spring. It stays 40 or below all Winter till about the middle of March, then it goes straight to 84-100 every day (usually 90 or above clear thru till October).

The downside is, to survive it, all year long either your heater is on, or your air conditioner is. And PGE obliges us so nicely by hiking natural gas rates in the winter (what our heater uses) and electricity in the summer (our AC). Nice of them to care. (!@#$%!)

Ah well, at least a few trees enjoy Spring and Fall. We have this beautiful young tree in the side yard that bursts out in gorgeous reds in "Fall" and the most stunning little white puffy bunches of flowers in the Spring. I keep forgetting the name, I've been told so many times but, you know how Alzheimers gets ya after 20. (:)).

Cheers all!

[amberstar]

Hi all! I'm back, and what a great trip I had, but I am glad it is over! Thank you all for the good wishes while I was gone. You all are the best!!!!!
I went to a class on ADD/ ADHD, and teaching diverse learner types. It was well worth it!
I have seven children in my class alone that are ADHD, and I have found some good ideas to implement in my class to help in the learning process.

Oh well enough about all that! It's just good to be back :)

Amber

[Muffit]

So glad you're back Amber! :) My older sister got her degree in special education and teaches in Washington. You must be a wonderful person!
:muffit:

[amberstar]

Thanks Muffit! It is hard work teaching, I'm the type of person that takes the day home with me. No matter if it is good or bad.
I have taken several classes in special ed, and it has helped so much to understand where some of the children are coming from. The ADHD children I have are really bright. Two of them I am requesting that they be tested for TAG, (talanted and gifted), that program falls under special ed too. What a wide range of areas it covers, from learning problems to gifited!
I'm not that wonderful, just someone who really cares about her kids :)
Thank you for your kind words muffit, they mean alot to me.

Amber

[Muffit]

Someone who cares enough to do all that work learning to help them, is definitely a wonderful person! And that's you Amber! ;) If you're anything like my sis', those kids are really lucky to have you...

:muffit:

[amberstar]

:rose: :rose: Thanks Muffit!

:muffit:
you took the words right out of my mouth Muffit I was reading the posts and got to Ambers where she said "I'm not that wonderful, just someone who really cares about her kids " and I thought but that's exactly what makes you wonderful!
Amber I wish the school system had more teachers like you in it! :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

[amberstar]

Thank you for the kind words Rowan. :blush:
I think to be able to make a positive impression on our youth we have to love what we do as educators. It's not all a bed of roses, but I enjoy my job and just try to reach those little minds and build a love for learning in them.

Amber

[bsg1fan1975]

Amber my sister has two with ADHD. My soon to be 18 yr old niece is the more severe case as she also is oppositional/defiant and behavoral problems. My 13 yr old nephew is a mild to moderate case of ADHD with learning problems.

Bless you for working with people like them.


meanwhile....

we had a fiasco at the video store the other night. We were renting a movie and Kev was going to add me to his account while we were there. So the clerk brings up his account and to his shock and my little green monster side, somehow his ex girlfriend's name is on the account. He never put her on the account and I trust him implicitly. So he had her removed and me added. we are still trying to figure this one out! I was not a very happy camper! :wtf:

[Muffit]

Eeks Bsg! That would be an owie for ANYONE! ;)
Sounds like someone was trying to get free movies...
:muffit:

[amberstar]

Thank you BSGfan, You really have to enjoy what you do especailly When you have children with special needs.

I would have been upset too at the movie store. It would have been a big shock, but I'm glad he took her name off:)

[bsg1fan1975]

your welcome!


I think she somehow added herself to his account without him knowing!

[braxiss]

hey hey hey

wwwhhhhhaaaaaassssssss uuuuuuuppppppppp????????

[bsg1fan1975]

its crappy and rainy out again. Now there is concerns about flooding in some areas of the state because of all the rain we are expecting. I went walking yesterday and there is a river near my house and the water level was up from the day before! Don't have to worry about where I live yet.

I'll keep you in my prayers that "YET" doesn't come about :rose:

[bsg1fan1975]

well so far its stopped raining! As that problem has stopped we have run into another one. I had to go out and buy mouse traps today. Our former neighbors on one side opf us were not great housekeepers and when they abandoned the apartment next to us left it a mess. Kev got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen for something and when he turned on the light thought he saw a mouse or a small rat skitter under the fridge. I no like rodents except for the beavers we have in here!

It's FINALLY started RAINING here .............so far with the temperatures being
about 45* we haven't had any more snow ........I'll settle for whatever
moisture I can get.

As for the MOUSE I know all too WELL about THOSSSSSSE wretched
creatures. :erk:

[bsg1fan1975]

got the mouse traps but they haven't been set yet! I am not going to do it as I don't want to set one off! I feel like banging my head against a wall and throwing up my hands and say to my older sis that she can do whatever she wants to ruin my life cause she has just gone and ruined my wedding! I am being told by my mother and Kev not to say anything but its so unfair to ruin everything that I wanted to go my way for my day!

you know, life is to short to be miserable. do it your way and tell your sister and anyone else to shut up and stay out of it. it's your day and your life enjoy every moment of it.



and if all else fails, you have a few freinds here that are willing to open a can whoop a#$ if you what us to.

[bsg1fan1975]

Thank you my mighty gnome friend I'll remember that if I have to call in the troops. I am taking on a new lease in life and taking control of what I do and how I do it.
