And no updates here from Miss Buttercup since she hit Texas last night unless Spy or Merlin has heard from her. I asked her what happened to New Mexico and she just said--"Been there, done that, no service." No idea if She has phone service in Texas yet or not. It's been nearly 13 hours since I've heard from her.

I am voting Bat has a hat and a smoke, Willi!

Willi

I vote yes on the smoke & no on the hat. A hat would be annoying while driving. Just ask Adven. Where the heck is Adven anyway?

Okay totally off topic here but does the time of Willi's post up above show up as 6:04 am for anyone else?

I'm pretty sure that Butter arrived at Merlin's. It is very chaotic at first, but I'm betting they will be in chat tonight. It also doesn't look like Butter slept much last night, so she's probably been sleeping today at some point.

Hmmmm. Bat has her smokes. Merlin has his smoke and mirrors. I see a pattern here.

Oh my Wink! Too weird!!!

Moon...Maybe HRH will still be in Texas when you get there.

Must be the second-hand via the telephone smokes.

I am willing to bet that Buttercup will not be arriving in Houston until very late tonight. If she made El Paso at midnight last night and stopped for a rest, I am thinking she did not leave until sunrise this morning. After leaving El Paso, I would expect that she would be unable to get her brand of phone service until she reaches San Antonio.

Ummm Spy, besides Phil being a bit anal retentive, what is this chaos you mention?

Merlin, she means just the jumping up and down and being excited about meeting one of your imaginary internet buddies, talking about a dozen things, plying them with food and drink, getting Phil installed in the bathroom and his litter box set up before he runs out of the house and runs away, things like that.



Is she there yet? Be sure to tell us when she arrives. Be sure to put Phil in the bathroom first thing when they arrive, not so much for the constipation factor as for him to calm down and rest a bit and not get excited and run and hide or run away.

Ahhh...well, if Butter didn't sleep last night, I was betting she already made it, but if she did stop, then she won't be at Merlin's yet

Well...about that chaos...what JuJu said. The meeting of someone new, getting Phil into either emergency stool removal or some other method of de-pooping, and then of course I figured she would have been without sleep....

Keep us updated, Merlin, since Butter's cell phone service appears to be ca-put.

Okay, there will be incoming emails as Buttercup has made it to San Antonio and now has phone service. Another four hours drive or so to make it to Houston.

Buttercuppy slept til almost NOON!!

Direct quote: YEHAW! Van Horn-slept til almost noon. Without service all day. Currently sitting in rush hour traffic in San Antonio. lol"

I don't know about you all but I'd love to hear YEHAW hollered with a Norwegian accent.

Merlin, may I just ask what it is about Texas that leaves people without phone service for hours at a time?

Tess

Oh, and Merlin--what the heck is Van Horn?

Judging by the last few messages I've received I fear that aliens abducted our sweet Buttercup somewhere in West Texas and replaced her with a born and bred Texas gal.

example: "Phil ain't singin'!. Am fixin' to get gas."

Add a different hat and some cowboy boots to replace those Ugg's and we won't even recognize Miss Buttercup.

Tess, Van Horn is an itty bitty town way out there in West Texas. Ain't nothing out there. Especially ain't no cell phone towers.

Yeeeeeehaw!!!

Fruitbat report???



Sheesh, this is so thrilling I may forget to go to the Autumn (BB2) chat at 7 p.m. at www.elitestv.com.

Hahahaha, Tess, on latest message. Of course, correct grammar and dialect is: Ah am fixin' to git me some gas. Yeeehaw!

Merlin, Butter asked me to tell you she has one request for when she gets there: She would like some good wine. Merlot, specifically.

Tess

Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 05:44 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
hahahahh Juju!! I'm sure when Miss Butter isn't typing while tooling down the highways and byways of Texan and when she isn't limited to 150 characters she'll get all the grammar down pat. I told her she was sounding like a Texas gal and she just says, "Bloom where you're planted."

Miss Buttercup is having a wonderful time and she hasn't even gotten it to the Magic Man and his smoke and mirrors yet. Oh my.

Lance, why am I not surprised you were asked to pass on the message about the wine instead of me?? I get updates on the singing.

And just remember, we are watching you, Merlin.

Way to go Butter! Good Luck!

Maybe I'll be able to catch up on all your adventures in a few days. Life is crazy here, My son wrecked his sister's 55chevy Saturday night. She got all 4 wisdom teeth taken out Monday. I just got Christmas cards done today, but not in the mail(ran out of stamps). They are hoping I get the tree up, no shopping started, no baking, nothing done. And we have 2 Birthdays here before Christmas.
I knew I should have went with you Butter (it sounds like so much fun)!!! I'm thinking of you even if I haven't been here much!
