Since I have been told I have a fettish with my hair, I am going to avoid the food fights and sit in the corner, sip on a drink and observe others get goo in their hair. If anyone cares to join me in the "quite corner", I'll buy.
Cyrene's is a good place to be if you want to miss the food fights. We would definately loose our heads if we even thought about throwing food in here. However if you ever decide you want to be a pirate then slap on a shower cap and head over to Z's Seven Seas Tavern & Inn. We are always looking for more victims.
Hey Erco... like Scrappy said... you're safe here at Cyrene's, because LucyStar doesn't allow it to get messy here. But if you ever do feel like getting 'down & dirty' then head on over to:

<steps over Scrappy, slumped to the floor> Hello Eroc with the Oh-so-Perfect Hair. <makes a feeble attempt to smooth down her own wind blown rat's nest>. Nice you see you around. Thanks for the kitty food advice. I wrote it down for future reference. Any words of wisdom on how to keep one cat from eating the other's food? Dusty as aquired a taste for Kitten Chow, while the kitten prefers Cat Chow, though both of them would rather have Baby Phalon chow, I think. Gotta teach her to not drop so much food under the table.

I think, Xengab, that sounds like a plan. Especially if the pirates swear by it, (although there be no swearing in my house...except under one's breath, of course). Had my own lot o' scurvy dogs yesterday. Little Xena, home sick from school, decided it was time to figure out what to be for Halloween.
Her and Baby Phalon chose to be pirates. Rounded up some pirate garb, (me included - believe it or not, I actually had a billowy ruffled shirt from dressing up as a gypsy a couple of years ago), a sword left over from her Xena costume, and a few bandanas and we were pirates most of the day. The girls forgot about arguing amongst themselves as they were mateys, busy looting the fridge for wealth untold, while fighting off their adversary, (me).
So iffin' you kin whip up a mean pot of tomato soup and make killer grill cheese sandwiches, they'll be right happy.
Hi there, Lucystar. Hope all is well your way.

Hi All,
I must apologize for not being around here more often. this past month my work schedule has varied from week to week and my sleep cycle has going all screwed up. For example, two weeks ago my days were 8p - 4 a, 9p - 5:30a, 11p - 7a, 10p - 6a and 5p - 12:30a. I'd get off work and know I should think about going to sleep, but being used to my 11p - 7a shift, I would be up till at least 8a and then after to be to work earl. Or at least early for me.
I am hoping my schedule will setting down soon. One of the other night auditors quit so I guess I will be taking her shift, since I an the back up auditor. So I will probably be working wed - sun 11p - 7a.
Now here's the "good news and the bad news. The good news first. My Mom had lower back surgery on Monday and will have to spend 10-14 days in the hospital. The surgery went well and the problem wasn't as bad as the doctor thought it was going to be. Now, hopefully she will be able to be up and going more like her old self again. She' almost become a hermit since getting in and out the car was too painful.
The bad news....my Dad's health is failing fast. He was moved from the care center on friday to the hospital and was diagnosed with pnuemonia in his left lung. Dad has also over the past few months dropped from 127 pounds to 82 pounds. He is not responding to the anitibiotics. Based on the doctor's recomendatins, it has been determined that Dad will be moved to the hospice section of the hospital and the doctor will stop the antibiotics. They will continue to give him fluids by IV. But we all know my Dad would not want to be kept on machines or feeding tubes. So we have decided to let nature take it's course and let Dad's last days be dignified and without machines all around him. I know that's what I would want.
I don't mean to "bum" you all out. I just wanted to share since so many of you are like family. Your prayers and thoughts will be greatly appreciated, as always.
Jan aka LS

LucyStar, I will be thinking about you and your family in the days to come. I hope they are peaceful ones.
Phalon, you may as well give in on the cat food. The kitten needs Kitten Chow and the worst it will do to Dusty is pack the pounds on him. I didn't want to put my cats on grown up food until they were a year, but the vet sd. six months was enough, especially since there were different age cats eating from the same bowl. They did actually slim down a bit when we went back to Cat Chow vs. Kitten.
Have a good day everyone!

Jan, I know there are not words enough to help you and your family through this difficult time. Things can be said, but at a time like this, all the heartfelt expressions in the world may seem hollow. Your situation with your Dad is so very similiar to the one I experienced with mine, that I feel an odd kinship to you, (I say odd, because though we've "spoken" here in this Tavern for years, I don't really know you, nor you, me).
I could say that I know how you feel, but I'd be wrong. Each of us feel and react differently to similiar situations. I can only wish you and your family will find comfort in knowing that you are doing as your Dad would have wished. My thoughts are with you all.

Oops...Hello Erco. I missed you there. Dusty pack on the pounds from indulging in Kitten Chow? Ugh...that's all I need. He's heavy enough as it is, pouncing on my stomach in the middle of the night.
Take care and have a great day. Gotta run. Errands, you know, and nearly the first time I've been outta the house for two days.

hey everyone!
Stopped in to have a few stiff drinks. I need them right now. I was fighting in trafic court today. Disputing a speeding ticket. Police said I was going "52" mph in a "45" zone. Where was the police? I didn't see anyone? I know I wasn't even driving 45. But the car in front of me passed me up like I was standing still. Go figure.
Anyway, can I have something strong? Something you recommend. Just keep them coming. Here's my keys already. Just call a cab when you feel I need to go home.
lucystar, sorry to read about your dad. It's not easy to watch them soo sick. I had to do that 8 years ago. Good luck to you and your family.
Now, where is my drink hon!

To My Whoosh Family and Friends,
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.
Dad passed away in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at 5:00pm. He died the way he always wanted to...in his sleep. As a dear friend of mine told me, what a wonderful way to pass on into the eternal life. I can now imagine him busy setting up his woodworking shop preparing to finish all those projects he never got to do.
Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers
Love You All
Jan (LS)
