  • Thank you also to @hunnybunny for your kind words - I always make sure to read your tips and am happy we have bumped into each other along the way ;-)

    Thank you also to @gumby and @mumsie42 ;-) very nice of you to pop in and wish me a Happy Birthday!!! Thank you kindly ;-)
  • Look @kathy - I sure do know how to fill up a page, haha...some things never change! Tee Hee :D
  • @pellystar - Loved the video, I must admit I have never heard the band either but I sure did enjoy a trip down the 70's funk-a-delic memory lane...too funny ;-)
  • @lesleyg nice to see the birthday girl pop in!
    I'd love some of that champagne. Sorry you had to work - I think birthdays should be an automatic holiday :D

    @kathy yup the circles at the bottom of the page. I think you need 10 feathers for the 4th one?
  • And now for @Rat - Thank you my funny friend! You always make me laugh! I appreciate you and your wit! I haven't had time to play like I used to either, but I don't think I will ever completely quit. I go through some slumps but I always come back...speaking of "backs"...Your cervical issue doesn't sound too good...I truly hope you are doing ok!!! I'm sure you've posted about it here, but unfortunately, I haven't been here in far too long so I am way behind on ALL things AB's.
  • Found it @Karen68 Thanks:)
  • Thank you @karen68 you too! I like your idea! We should all have our BDay's off, it should be included in all of the US's long list of holidays @jlz666 was mentioning earlier, haha!

    btw...@jlz666 - I too am hating the Walking Dead break, wahhyyy...we have been watching Fear the walking Dead, which I like, but it's not the same! I knew you were a cool chick like me so it's only fitting that you're a fan of the show too, tee hee 8-)

  • @knichy Keep on truckin' in Space.

    Good night @Ma
  • Hello guys,
    good morning to you all.

    Bad news over here. We had to return Wolf to his breeder. We discovered that this lovely little man actually had a genetic issue.

    At home, with just us in the house, everything was going fine. He had lots of fun, acted open.
    As soon as people came to visit us or when we went out he became panic. As soon as he saw other people, no matter if he saw them before, made him very anxious.
    We did visit dog trainer, dog therapists, they gave us tips how to handle this.
    No matter what we did, progress wasn't there. Actually things got worse and worse.

    That's also the reason that I didn't visit this BP for a while.
    I'll be back soon.
  • That's gut-wrenching news @bernersenn.
  • oohh nooo @bernersenn I'm very ,very sorry to hear this:(
    hope you will be doing o.k:(
  • So sorry @bernersenn, such a beautiful animal.
  • Yes @rat ! After the CD in my car broke, my girls at 3&4 used to make me call the radio station on the way home to request Deep Purple, and that was their favorite. It got to where the DJ would recognize my voice and have me have them shout for it from the back seat.
  • I had forgotten about Space Trucking until you put up that stanza @knichy.
    As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memory".
  • @rat @kathy @knicky thanks for these nice words. We will manage this and when the pain is gone completely we will start looking for a new little man or girl.
  • Bye Bye @wolf I loved you....
  • Aww man @bernersenn I was at work this morning, when i saw your sad news, words just can't express , poor Wolf, hopefully he can find a new home that he will eventually feel comfortable in, I know you did everything possible, and it ain't cheap for treatments that you mentioned ,trainers and therapists hope as he gets older some one will be able to help him overcome this anxiety. I had a kitty that was the exact same, she loved me and was cuddly and playful, but whenever another person , adult or child no matter, she would run in the bedroom and hide under the bed until long after she was sure they were gone! I didn't have money to have any treatment for her, but even if i did i don't think i would have, only because i don't think cats can be treated easily for something like that, i tried everything i knew such as treats and coaxing but nothing worked, i had to move so i had to put her in foster care, and the woman emailed me and said she was doing o.k
  • @knichy Ilove that song Whiter shade of pale, how does that relate to @pellystar link?
    And the stanza you posted idk:(
    Well it's Blues Wednesday but not in the mood for music atm:(
  • @bernersenn :( I am so sad to hear that news, I am gonna miss him.
    @kathy Wassup
    @knichy Deep Purple was my first concert EVER. They Rock
    @hunnybunny hello
    @rat That should be your new theme song ( Space Truckin' ) :)
  • @gumby Waaaasssuuuuppp!!!¿¿¿
  • @kathy sad news about Wolf :( I hope bernersenn and family are ok
  • woot made it into top 50 on the challenge, barely
  • Wtg @gumby !! Bday party is a tough one!
  • We can have blues night tomorrow , not in the mood tonight for it , if anyone else wants to feel free!
    OB I'll have Blue Mongo though please:)
  • Pizza is here bbiab:)
  • @AngryAdvisor -- Happy Birdday! So good to see you again. Hope you had a marvelous day (at least after work was over).
    Must confess I haven't been spending much time in the BP or even on ABN recently.
  • @benersenn -- How tragic. It's really bad to have to give a dog up because of genetic problems.
  • Hi @mvnla2 good to see you, i hope it's good 'real life busy, happy' things keeping you from ABN:) sure miss you around here!
    Been getting some golfing in?
  • @Mvnla2 isn't playing golf @Ma. Even better. She's busy with the administrative duties of weekly tournament chair for her ladies golf club instead. lol
  • Oohh @Pa i missed that , sorry @mvnla2 with 2 birthdays this week i got behind:/
  • @kathy @rat -- I'm playing as much golf as usual (at least once a week). It's just that I spend a lot of the rest of the week on weekly tournament chair duties.
  • well that's a good thing @mvnla2, didn't sound right, you not playing golf lol;)
    well my friends I got my headphones in my ears it's book time, then bedtime g'nite to all and best wishes for a peaceful evening ♡
  • Nighty night @Pa
  • What's @Mvnla2 still doing up? It's past 8pm. Doesn't she play golf early mornings?

    Nite nite @Ma
  • first post of the day at 1530 EST !!!

    @Kathy Roxy Music ran in the same circles as Pocul Harum, so @pellystar reminded me of them and Whiter Shade of Pale. When I was starting out in my alter-ego musician career, I was in a 3-piece playing bass and keys, about 1/2 original music and 1/2 covers. Most of the covers were Rush, Judas Priest, Journey, Scorpions, and Triumph, but we did some Sammy Hagar, and his one-album power group HSAS (Hagar, Schon, Aaronson and Shrieve) did an AWESOME cover of Whiter Shade that we ripped off. Just a kinda non-sequitor blast from the past connection probablt prompted by a Blue Mongo or two.

    Good times! Back to the challenge! for about 5 minutes before I become chef and Taxi Driver (but without the pay) for evening activities.
  • @kathy thanks for your comment about fear. I also hope that he will get happy with his new family. I think the little guy would be happy on a farm, far away from civilization. Less visit, the own people don't celebrate holidays in crowded places.
    We are looking for a new Wolf. Yes, the new guy or girl will be named again
    Wolf. Normally we don't use names for puppies that our belated dogs were called. This case is different. Of course I will keep you all informed about progress.
    See you later guys
  • I think I'm seeing things!! @Pa #1 trophy holder in Winter Wonderham level 19!! Trophy holder??
    I haven't even had a drink I swear!! OB let's remedy that, maybe that's the trouble , or my eyes are going need new contact lenses!
    I'll have a Blue Mongo please !
