That's what I was thinking, but the way she posted it made it sound so real. Gini.......are you joking? I don't think police would allow you to make a post on PT if they wanted to arrest you.......and I don't think PT'ers would do something so horrible that the police would have to interfere.

HELP!!

There was a knock on my door this morning after I got back from the airport and it was the POLICE.

I am allowed just one internet post, so I plead with any of you out there to please come get me out of jail.

OMG, they are asking for a sample of WHAT???

HELP!!!

Hang tight, Gini...we'll send Mario in with the key after the policeman guarding your cell has fallen asleep from the drug Mario slips into his coffee...
Richard will be in the van around back for the great escape...

LOL

I have a little wooden wagon in my dining room that is filled with the kids toys.

Tonya put some furry mice in there - I saw her do it - none were spilled on the floor.

Well, this morning there are little furry mice all over my dining room floor and the candlesticks on the dining room table were dumped over.

Guess while we were sleeping the kids had their own PARTEE!!

Zippy, is that THE mice that didn't make their way to Australia?!

Thanks guys, for getting me out!

Phew! That was a close call!

Hey everyone: I've been back home for about an hour and can't seem to muster up the energy to unpack. Unpacking is so final and is really a sign that my trip is over.

I've always taken pride in the fact that I don't cry in public, but today is an exception. I cried when the plane took off, I cried when the plane landed (thank God there was no one sitting beside me), and I'm crying as I write this. After 4 full days of intense fun and frolic, I feel like I have a big void to fill. My heart aches because I've left some good friends behind.

To Tracey, Laurie, Tonya, Kelly, Karen and Sara: I enjoyed meeting you all and as Gini has so kindly mentioned, Kelly made me wet my pants! Tracey, you are a gem and I'll treasure that Pet Talk hat and make sure the kitties know the gifts are from you. Laurie, I never thought I would meet someone with the same sick sense of humour. Hugs to you. Tonya, well, what can I say. If I could live life all over again, I would want you as a little sister. Kelly and Karen, it was so nice to share a laugh with you and I sure hope we can keep in touch outside of Pet Talk. Kelly, thanks again for the kitty presents and for you time to show us around Dizzyland. Sara: I had absolutely no idea you were the mystery guest until you showed up. Hugs to you and tell the E's that I know how lucky they are.

Richard: It was really really scary how our minds thought alike. Thanks goodness there are only two of us in the world. You make a great slushie and don't forget to open up the bar again tomorrow. I'm already parched!!!! Big bear hug to you.

Last but not least, Gini: You have a heart of gold and I will be forever grateful for the kindness that you showed me. Thank you for taking on this rowdy crowd and please tell Rusty and Ginger that I enjoyed scratching their butts.

To all of the people I spoke to over the phone: it was good to speak to you and put a voice to the name. Phred, I apologize if I sounded nervous, I was. It was like I was talking to Gawd himself.

I hope I did not leave out any Pet Talkers; if I did I'm sorry. I guess I'd better go bring my life into some sort of normality now.

Love to all of you.
Slick

Yup, Richard got all his coupons although I'm sure if he's going to cash them in.

Thanks Catland, I needed that.

Gini: your heart has no bottom. It continues to give and give and give and give and never gets empty.

Slick, I just have to say you make the BEST crab dip and Bailey's Irish Cream EVER!!! I have to have those recipes!

BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM

In a big bowl, whiz up all the following ingredients until it gets nice and foamy. Then taste, then bottle. Does not have to age. Can be consumed right away.

1 mickey Rye (OK, your Americans call it a "fifth")
1 large whipping cream
1 small 1/2 & 1/2 or creamo
2 eggs
4 tblsp. chocolate syrup
1 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
2 tblsp. instant coffee
1 can sweetened condensed milk

This recipe may be doubled or tripled depending on the size of the bowl and the amount of consumption.......And of course, the amount of Rye may vary depending on taste......I always put a little extra in........

Makes three 26-oz bottles. Because it's made with dairy products, it only lasts about 3 weeks in the fridge. Unfortunately, it will have to be used up in that time........
______________________________________________

HOT CRAB DIP:
Take one very menopausal woman and dip her into a cool pool of water

Seriously:
Mix all together

1 cup of crab meat
1 cup of mayo
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
1 cup of finely chopped onion

Heat up in a pan and put into a hollowed out loaf of sourdough bread.

slick, you are AWSOME!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

*bows at your feet*...I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! LOL

[gini]

Slick, what good news to read that you got home safely. I wish Zip would check in - but I betcha K'Cee and that Piper aren't leaving her alone for a minute.

I think I will echo Karen's chant "I am not worthy" "I am not worthy"..................you are one very dear lady and it was an absolute joy for me to meet you and now be able to call you friend.

And what was that you left on my bed? For shame.......you were my guest and it was an expensive trip for you to come to the BBQ.

I hope you, along with everyone will start your change jar and save up for next year. It was so much fun that I can hardly wait to do all of this again.

I am headed out to where? THE AIRPORT! Isn't that funny?
My brother comes in at 10:15 tonight.
