yesterday... a day of resting for Mannie. It was expected. Seems that whenever we have a dip into the lower greens, the 50's +- 60's, we will get a bounce day followed by mid level yellow surfing, especially when I have had to feed the higher carb fuds. At least the amps wasn't a high level pink. YAY on that one! Not too bad Mannie - whatever color you are, your bean LUBS ya... cat_pet_icon Let's see if we can get back into the blues and greens again, OK?

All is well in MannieLand. The whacking as returned... Dinner last night was met with several - everybody got and received. :shock: :roll: A major whack-a-thon. :lol: :lol: :lol: after which they retreated to their respective corners... what a bunch of comedians! omg... I love this menagerie.... Mannie is still sleeping in his bed that he conveniently moved under the window - breezes were many last night. It was cute to watch the nose sniffing and the whiskers fluttering while he slept. What a life! We had a good test feed shoot this morning. No complaints, and no whacks. Guess they got all that whacking out of their systems last night. :lol: :lol: And the nanners... omg... the nanners! Mannie has been very busy with the stash - seems we had a breech of security. DGS slobber! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Poor Mannie - he worked very hard to reestablish ownership. Meanwhile his bean is thinking "oh gross... I was only gone for a minute.." great.... dgs slobber on the nanner. blech, gross, ick. Mannie, you may have to relocate your nanners. :shock: :shock: well - normalcy, and life is good in MannieLand. :razz: :razz: :razz:

Have a good day everyone. Today I continue my DGS sitting duties, and then I am off, so to speak, for fur days... be good DGS, your grammie will miss you. I will try and get to condos, but really doubt that I can. Maybe in the evening... Do know that I am thinking of you all, even if I can't visit. Think GREEN kitties!!

Friends!! WOOT - Those hammocks were really cool. I gotta get one for my house.... we are back to camp Stu today. Well... at least I think we are... my bean hogged the 'puter all night long, and I have no clue what end is up... sheshhhhh! I want my own 'puter, and then this wouldn't happen, ya know? them beans!! messin' with the Nanner King's social life... Seer you guys later! Anybody need a ride? ~~ Mannie

and completely OT: Here are a few photos on the lake I took DGS to yesterday, a nice small almost alpine lake, elevation about 3000 feet. Full photo album can be found in my signature line.

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233

I think Mannie is starting his day off pretty good. Just make sure you head DOWN today, Mr. Man, DOWN!!! Good thing he didn't abandon the nanners with the baby drool on them, like a mother bird does it they smell something foreign on their babies!! Mannie may have to install a security system!!!

If your grandson gets any cuter, his cheeks are going to get pinched off...seriously!!!! That picture says it all... he's well loved and it shines out of him with that awesome smile!!!! Babies are truly a blessing!!!

Have a great day, Michelle!!

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119

Mannie is looking good at +3! :smile: He is way too cool not to be green today.

OMG!!! DGS slobber on nanners. How disgusting! How did Mannie let this happen? So much work for him to do today.

The pictures are beautiful and adorable!! What an absolutely adorable DGS! He looks pretty loved. Love the civvie whacking stories. What about the choir? Hope you didn't oversleep today.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey Mannie! Picks me up. I gotta bust outta this place. Too hot here.

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119

The picctures are beautiful (as always!).....and DGS is too cute!!! Nice cycle for Mannie....let it continue.

Mannie - grooooossssssssssssssss the little human SLOBBERED on your nanners???!!!!!...eeeewwwwww Glad to hear you got them cleaned up...what a job. I could use a ride to Camp Stu....I needs a vacation from the hot and humid weather. ~Zoe

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119

Cruisin' the blues, headed to the greens! Go Mannie. Michelle, your GS is just toooooo cute.

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119

By a lot happens here before I am even up. :? It looks like the Nanner King is making a beeline for the greens. Have a great Day w/ Nicholas. Yesterday must have been wonderful at the lake. Everyone has said it before me, he is one adorable, happy little guy.

Mannie! Security breach!!!!!!! I think you gotta get a safe to keep them in while we are out! -- Tess

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95

Reading your condos is always one of the highlights of my morning! The whack a thon had me cracking up, and I love that Mannie is so industrious that he can move his bed all on his own. Gotta love the sniff of the breeze from a sleeping cat. Such a sweet image. Loved the pics as well... that Nicholas is such a charmer!! Somebody ADORES his grandma!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Hey, Mannie! Mah bean hogs de laptop too, but we haz a desktop I can sneak onto so I'z can keep up wif de days events! Whatever's goin on today... I'm IN!! --Willie

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95

WOOT!!! Again! :lol: :lol: Not that I mind.

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81

ohmygod_smile ohmygod_smile ohmygod_smile ohmygod_smile this kid is NOT napping this morning... shheeessshhhhh! :roll:

amps 233
+2 196
+3 119, fed 7%
+4 95, more 7%
+5 81, more 7%
WOW! Looks like Mannie is on a mission today. LOVE IT!

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81

ok... think we have got it.... I-) I-) I-) I-) I-) for the kid... finally....

hi Patty - ahhhhh... I think Mannie's been reading his condo again. He has followed your instructions to the letter. :razz: :lol: I do believe he agrees with your assessment of the nanner situation. I found him a few minutes ago with mail order catalogs piled high around his bed, all opened to security systems... :lol: :lol: --- thx on DGS - yes, they really are a blessing.

Hi Melissa - Green he made - awesome! I had hoped when I got that +2, and that +3 - on a mission for sure. and I know on the nanners - EUWW!!!! Could it be that he doesn't mind DGS slobber? Hmmmmmm..... oh on the choir; forgot that! Down to one member today - BJ, BELLOWING at the top of her lungs, right in my ear. :shock: :shock: that got me attention. Mannie and Elsa were waiting at the top of the stairs, with that " I'M HUNGRY - FEED ME NOW" look. so we did. we are so under their control.... :roll: :?

Hi Sherry - oh please let it be so on the cycle... I have no doubt that the pink/yellow from yesterday was due in large part to all the carbs he had the night before when he went low green. So maybe he's back to flat blue/green cat... maybe...

Hi Bev - thanks on DGS - i think so too... of course slightly biased here. and YAY on Mannie!

Hi Ann - a beeline it was. no messin' around this morning. Guess he didn't like the yellows and pinks that much. :lol: Yep - lake was good yesterday. It was easy to get too, and \once he is a bit older it will be a good one to go too - enough "beach" area that he can play some, even venture on out into the water. I love mountain lakes for that - so clear, a bit cold, but one can deal with that. He is fun, even with those "fussy moments". :lol: :lol:

hi Christie - thanks, and never a dull moment here. :lol: :lol: that whack-a-thon was a riot. Had n=me laughing - silly kitties! The bed moving thing was cute - he didn't have to move it but a few inches... those paws are darn strong. :shock: thanks too on the pics - he is such fun to take on these outings - he loves them all. Music to my ears... YAY!

Willie - awesome dude!! I think my bean has a netbook somewhere... I needs to find it so I can keep up with everything. sheshhhh! It's important, ya know? Cool on the I'm in - I will picks you up - off to camp Stu! SWEET! ~~ Mannie

Tess - I KNOW!!! I am researching now on security systems... a safe would be good. I hope they make them paw friendly... yes!! gotta look at safes too. See you at camp Stu? ~~ Mannie

Zoe - affirmative! I KNOW!!! tiny human slobber!!! :evil: it took FOREVER to make them normal again.... ok then on the ride - I gots the top down and the AC on high in the roadster, so we are good to go. See you soon! ~~ Mannie

Tarragon - awesome dude - I am on my way! I hope the hammocks are still out and ready to go. They were are so cool! I am sorry it is so hot there... you want one of my kitty fans? ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81

Glad to see Mannie is back at work today doing his Mannie job!!! And it's most important to get nanner security back in place if there is baby slobber on his nanners. I can so identify with the "ick" factor of baby slobber :lol: :lol:

Those three of yours are so funny with the whacking. How great that you can have your windows open so Mannie can sniff the fresh air. We are always opposite huh? Windows open in fall, winter, spring here; closed summer. Just the opposite for you.

Great pics!!! That Nicholas is one adorable baby and he loves his hikes with his grammie!!

Mannie...Tobes and I got new hammocks to take back to Camp Stu!! I can't wait and Tobey has new "slippahs" too. Mamabean made him take his water wings if he gets in the lake!!! He's still such a baby!! See you soon.

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 196, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81, +6 72

72 @ +6, fed a very small amt of 7%

Hi Marje - omg on the baby slobber on the nanners... I need to watch better... he's not quite crawling yet, but apparently can scoot along very well. :lol: :lol: -- and yes on the windows - it is wonderful to be able to open them: something we can rarely do here in the winter. I can see why you guys don't in the summer. HEAT overload I would imagine... thx (!!) on the pics - this was a good one for the little guy - very kid friendly, we will have to return.

Gracie -AWESOME!!! on the new hammocks - that is so cool - we had to take turns yesterday... more is better!! Tobey gots new slippahs??? wow, i want some too! - and PHEW on the water wings... I worry about him, ya know. Now he will be safe. Does he have 6? ya know - for each leg and the tail and the neck?? safety ya know! See you there!!~~ Mannie

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81, +6 72, +6.5 7

67 @ +6.5, fed a little more 7%. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +3 119, +4 95, +5 81, +6 72, +6.5 6

Beautiful cycle so far today, Mannie! Hey Michelle, maybe Nicholas needs a nanner of his own!

The kitties are down on the dock, swimming around, trying to avoid the jet ski that one of the guests at the motel next door is giving children rides on. It's noisy here today (but we had a nice paddle this morning).

Wonderful pics from yesterday's hike. That Nicholas is so cute and looks so happy to be out with his grandma!

See you later, probably much later--another dinner this evening to go to.

Ella & Rusty

Re: 8/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 95, +5 81, +6 72, +6.5 67, +7 74

Hi Michelle and oh my, I'm gone for a couple hours and miss all the action. Mannie is doing great and I couldn't quite see the +6, but it looks green. Oh how funny with the nanners and the DGS slobber. :lol: The pictures, as always, are just beautiful, and your DGS gets cuter every picture and also growing. I forget, how old is he now? I should know. I'm embarrassed to ask, but what do you mean fur days - is it four days? I'm dense sometimes! :roll:

Hey Mannie, can you picks me up for Camp Stu. My Bean is a little late getting me ready, as she has the nerve to be kitty sitting our next door neighbor's femae kitty. Can you tell I'm a little jealous? See you soon, Maggie

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81

81 @ PMPS. What a glorious green surd this afternoon. WOW! Love the pmps. I fed this with an 8%, to boost him up a little for onset. We will see how he does with that today - sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it sends him flying.. paws crossed that it was a wise choice today.

Hi Ella - oh I know... a nanner for Nicholas! :shock: why do I get the feeling that Mannie would confiscate that one too. :lol: :lol: Oh wow on the jet ski - Mannie always wanted to try one of those... I hope he is being a good boy. :shock: :lol: :lol: I am glad that your paddles this morning was good, and not noisy. I do the same thing here - do the local stuff in the morning - before all the noisy people shoe up... :roll:

Hi Ann - yes: That fur should have been a four. Me and my typos! :roll: you're not dense, I just can't type well.... :lol: :lol: -- and yep he has been green all day, once he got there. What a lovely surf it has been, took a little fuds to get him out of the 60's, but wow - nice nice cycle! -- And Nicholas is 7 and a half months old now. How time flies! -- and do you believe that? got one of the naners.... blech a thousand times over... we shall see if we can get Mannie to keep them in a different spot. thought I suppose that once the crawling starts that really won't matter. :shock: :lol: THx on the photos!!

Hey Maggie - it's OK. I knew you'd come, so no worries! I will picks you up - off to camp Stu! hey - what's up with that kitty? your bean cat kitting? Is she a nice kitty? Maybe then it would be ok... maybe. see you !!~~Mannie

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159

159 @ +1. oh carp... whoa... way too much carb I guess. darn it! I went back to the normal 4% for mini meal #1... .

ok.... dinner, then condos!

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159

Hi Michelle, :lol: thanks for explaining the fur day - I thought it stood for something else! Sorry about the +1, but Mannie will come down. It's so hard to know how they will react to foods, even with knowing the % carbs. Enjoy your evening.

Hi Mannie, thanks for picking me up. My Bean is done with kitty sitting, thank goodness. The kitty is nice but tempermental. I'd rather my Bean not litty sit, Maggie

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159

Hoping that +1 is a Mannie bump and he'll come back down. Nice shooting of that 81. What an awesome day for Mannie.

Mannie..yuppers...Tobey has six water wings.....the bean worries about his adventurous nature. Maybe we can grill out under the stars at Camp Stu and spend the night in the hammocks?

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157

Great day for the Mannie Nanner King. Nice job for the bean too. Did you and Nicholas get to hike? Hope so and you post more pics.

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157

157 @ +2 - well down a little from +1, well sort of... definitely could have gone with his regular % fuds. oh well... still been a great day, and the night isn't too bad either.

Hi Marje - me too on the +1... but the 2 is the same... so - either it was too many carbs, or he was headed up anyways. guess we shall see.... and thanks - it really was a great day for him!

Hi Ann - no problem - I make alot of typos, and really scan what I write looking for them. Guess fur and four looked the same to be this morning! :lol: :lol: -- and yes on the carbs. Sometimes with that PMPS it works for him, other times it does not. perhaps my clue should have been no change in numbers from +10 to pmps... aiyee! another lesson learned.

Hey Maggie - oh good on the kitty sitting. I hates that - time away from me, ya know? oh boy on the temperamental - you keep your distance, Ok? hey - did you see? maybe we can camp out in the kitty hammocks at camp stu tonight. AWESOME! ~~ Mannie

Gracie!! Oh good on tobes - he looks safe enough with 6 water wings - he sure complains alot though, says he floats just fine... I keep telling him better safe than sorry... I LUBS THAT IDEA!! let's do it!! I don't think Rusty will mind... and well... Auntie EllaBean likes us. This will be so cool!!! ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157

my gosh you've had a busy day. making me tired just reading everything!!!! your sweet little nicholas has the most beautiful face that i've ever seen on a baby (except my own, of course!)

glad that mannie pulled up a bit and i hope he lets you sleep tonight! if not, we'll be glad to see you here!

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157

Nice Hooting! Just a food spike it looks like. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: More green?

Mannie the hammocks are so fun, but I got tents too! too many skeeters at night for the hammocks! -- Tess

Re: 8/5 Mannie +10.5 81, PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157

Well.....Gracie is headed up too.....too much green for them today :lol:

Mannie....I got a special drink for Junior's OTJ party. It's called "Cat Bite Ginger Beer"; I hope he likes it!!!! Will you include it on the menu tomorrow please???

Re: 8/5 Mannie PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157, +3.5 151

151 @ +3.5. well ok - we have a nice mid-level blue surf! and I will get to sleep tonight - oh YAY!!!

Hi Barbara - I missed your post!! Nicholas and I went on a local "hike" on the trails here at home - just easier today with Mannie hitting the greens, and staying in the 60's so long. And that was OK - we had a good time. We just didn't have tpo derive anywhere to do it. :lol: :lol:

Hi Julie - oh yes - it has been busy! caring for the little guy and testing Mannie: you'd care for one, take care of the next, and by the time DGS was taken care of it was time for Mannie again... that went on all day long. :shock: :lol: :lol: -- and thanks - he really is a sweetie. and yes - looks like it will be slow steady surf tonight, and I won't have to stay up with him. he's been really flat since his +1. YAY!

Hi Ann - I had hoped so... but that +3.5 says flat blue surf tonight. oh well - maybe that was just the way it was meant to be tonight. OK by me, he's had a really good day. and for him just to settle into this mid blue thing after this morning is really nice. btw: that photo is too darn funny!

Hi Marje - yep, I think so... if Mannie's deal was fuds I'd see a little change by now, and that ain't happening. Time for him to regroup in the blue zone - his fav place these days. :lol: :lol:

Gracie - oh wow on the drink special - i likes it! that sounds really good.... pssstttt: what's in it? and bring extra for the bus, OK? OH! I outs it on the menu!! ~~ Mannie

Tess - oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Those tents are SO COOL! You have the bestest ideas ever!! I never thought of the skeeters! :shock: :shock: hmmmmm... will a hammock fit in the tents? I want to shop where you shop - it's better than stuff here... Back to the tents!! I am soooooooooooooo sleepy. ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/5 Mannie PMPS 81, +1 159, +2 157, +3.5 151

Could sworn I posted to you!!!! OK My bad for worrying over Moonie!! Looks like DGS 1===Mannie 0 on the drool on the nanners!!!--So funny the goings-on in your house! Whack a doodles live there :lol: :lol: :lol:
Moonie has some green, then the next day is yellow, till the evening & perhaps she rewards me with a blue!
Today she hardly was blue at all, but yesterday she graced me with a 103!
These cats could drive us nuts!!= Have a restful night & Big Hugs & Lubs from us!--Sorry I really thought I posted, like I always do--XOXOXOXO
Beautiful Lake, please take me too!! ;-)

134 @ +4.5. still blue - YAY!! Way to go Mannie!

Hi Roni - that happens to em too - I could have sworn I posted somewhere, but alas: no post... I would agree with that scoring! DGS definitely won that one. :lol: :lol: and I know on the numbers.... enough to drive us bonkers! It is good to see Moonie post some low blue numbers, YAY! I was relieved to see today that her leg is better, Very good news.

so.... this bean is totally toast, so off to bed for me. NI NI ALL!

Wow...look at him go back down!!!! Cool!!

MANNIE...I can't tell what's in my secret drink recipes!!! I'm the Mistress Mixologist!!!! I love those tents Tess found. ...perfect. And they are in your favorite color, too!!

Hi Marje - I think so too. No dreaded "B" after this morning... YAY! I expect he'll stay blue - or so I am hoping as I am headed off to bed. nailbite_smile

Gracie - oh OK on the drink ingredients.... that's way cool! just make lots, OK? aren't those tents cool? and my fav color too! I hope we can fit a hammock inside. i dunno though.... fleece would work just fine. It gets cold at nights up there at camp stu... but hey - no skeeters in those tings! YAY! ~~ Mannie

Blue …. Blue… Blue Blue great color on you Mannie.

Mannie, I just finished the Chicago Cheesecakes w/ Cinnamon Sauce, can you put it on the menu? Oh and filled Poppyseed Kolaczki! Gotta have those in Chicago! -- Tess
