Babble Away! A Babbling Contest With Prizes!!

[margd]

 
@NewYork1303   Happy Birthday!  Why aren't you out celebrating the whole weekend.

@Margd   My cats are off sleeping somewhere.  They wore themselves out playing with their new toy.

Well I took a break earlier and we played Da Bird for awhile and then I tried to get Chula to chase the laser but she had no interest.  She's looking out the window now, letting me babble for now.

Sinbad is yelling at me, it's bed time. "But.. but.. Oh Mighty Feline Master... only 19 posts left to go...!!"

  it used to grow in a pot but got so big and heavy it was turning over the pot. Then I put it in the ground in my garden and it                                                                                                                                                                          is quite happy there. At the top and right you can see the bud of the flower it eventually had. Only one that year, none last                                                                                                                                                                         year, 4 buds this year

View media item 285955   this is the bud, it kept getting bigger

these pictures are not in the correct order, just look at the dates of them, it will give you an idea ot the sequence and how long it took from bud to ready to eat. It's sort of sweet with flavors between peach and various tropical fruits.

I am not allowed to grow trees in my plot. Vines are ok as they are not throwing shade onto the next plot most of the year.

@Margd  Ha ha. My cats are the exact same way. I am going to a mongolian grill with my fiance and some friends. It should be fun.

Oh that does sound fun!  Very tasty food to be had.  

 
I used to have some big fat marker pens that you could draw on cakes and cookies with, the ink was edible. They were great fun.

Those sound pretty incredible.  I've never heard of such a thing.  I can not decorate a cake to save my life.

They still make those.  We used to have the thin ones.   I used to color my kids sandwiches with them - cut out w/cookie cutters.  I think I did dogs and dinosaurs and drew faces on them.

I had a cactus very much like yours - in fact it looks identical.  I never keyed it out so don't know the genus - I just called it the Night Blooming Cactus.  Unfortunately one year we had a frost and it got hit and that was that .

@Handsome Kitty  I'm not the type for partying all weekend. I'd much rather be home relaxing with the cats.

 

[margd]

We only have 13 left! to go!  It's after midnight here but I think I'm going to make it to 2000.  Even if I have to type gibberish my next few times.

 

[losna]

Must type faster!!! I'm holding the house up, and eing grouched at. But I want to see 2000!

 

[NewYork1303]

Haha. I am so tired today. I would like to sleep but it is only 9:15 here. That seems a bit too early for a Saturday night.

Me too!  We'll get there.  Chula is back again.   She jjust diconnected the power cable to my laptop.  She means business now!  She wants to go to bed!

 

[handsome kitty]

We are watching the first Star Trek movie with the younger characters.  this is a great movie.  I love the humor in it.

 

[NewYork1303]

I am currently watching Hitch. One of the craziest romantic comedies I have ever watched. It is awesome.

 

[handsome kitty]

@NewYork1303   I assumed you were in New York, but I see we are in the same time zone. 

 

[margd]

I'm half way through binging on Midsomer Murders.  I actually love the music as much as anything else. 

 

[NewYork1303]

Uh oh. That cat means business now. She is clearly very insistent on getting you to pay attention to her instead.

 

[losna]

Sinbad is whining very very loudly, and starting to mess with all the computer cables.

 

[margd]

 
Uh oh. That cat means business now. She is clearly very insistent on getting you to pay attention to her instead.

Oh yes.  Her routine is all thrown off.  All this babbling.  But we're thundering down the home stretch now!

 

[NewYork1303]

Gah! I am really not sure what else to babble about at this point. It is very hot here and my Malamute is sitting in front of the fan.

 

[losna]

So close though! Congrats to whoever wins it!!! The tshirt is pretty awesome!!
