Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Marje knew something was wrong!! I think you had her a bit worried last night. I hate computer problems. They really know how to mess up your day!!
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Me too! We went down about 9 pm last night, could not get this stuff back online and was just too tired to deal with the cable company. So... guess I had better rattle their cages now. I am so not looking forward to this.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Sorry about the internet, hope you get it up and running soon and Mannie comes down from that pink floor.

Have a good, stress free day

YAY for yesterday!! Another green and blue day - I am so happy for Mannie. These numbers are just so nice to see. He seems to have bounced this morning, but the +2 is headed down, so maybe.... another great day in store Mannie? :cool: :-D :-D

All is well in MannieLand this morning - I wish I could say the same for his bean.... STOOPID INTERNET!!! :-x :-x we seem to be fixed now.... :razz: Amazing how dependent we all are on it. :roll: :roll: Mannie is great this morning. He was zonked on top of his nanner pile this morning - oblivious to the fact that he should be hungry. Major kitty snoozes in progress. There was this mad dash into the kitchen once he heard the rustle of fuds, and testing stuff.... :lol: :lol: Breffis consumed heartily, clean plate club status intact. No fuds dance or civvie whacking this morning- Mannie? And now? after a brief tour of the outdoor domain he is back to the nanners. They are being hugged, kitty dreams in progress.... :cool:

My friends!!! After much debate on when is that full moon, and discovering that is it in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, we decided to celebrate tonight! Zoe - you are the bestest, as is your bean - thanks for letting us party in Florida. Sun, warm, flowers!! ok.... here is da menu. Bringing anything you want to add....
Flower Full Moon Party Menu
Beverages: Orange Blossom infused Niptinis, Tuna Flavored Champagne in Tulip glasses, Micro Brews with Violet Petals
Appetizers: Tuna Puffs, Sauteed Shrimps in Rhody Flower Cups, Chicken Canapes with Rose petal Toppings

Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

what a morning!! All is well now.... I think!

Hi Iorwen - what a pain it has been.... errrr!, but all better now, Mannie seems to be leaving the pink floor - so paws crossed there. :-D

RUSTY!! DUDE!! You are the best. Impromptu is SO GREAT. I finally got the bean to let me get on this 'puter, and gots a menu together - but I really like the impromptu thing - so everybody! Bring what you really like! Thanks man ~~ Mannie

Hi Barb - weird, huh! What a pain it was... alot did not get done around here last night. oh well, will get caught up today.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Yo Mannie, Glad your 'puter is fixed and that you're back. The menu looks GREAT! I'll be there early to help pick oranges and lemons. Let's make some lemon curd, OK?
Gettin' the grillin' stuff together right now.
Rusty
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Good morning guys .. so glad you got the 'net back on .. yes, it is amazing how much we rely on it! I like the fact that mannie had such a nice cycle yesterday and is already headed down this morning .. have a great day guys!
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Come on Mannie follow Tess back down, you two finally seem to be in sync.

Oy. we do become dependent on theses suckers! Glad the cable is working again.

Mannie, the menu is fabulous! All those flowers we can eat. I'm on my way out to gather the rosemary and I'll be sure to get the flowers too! I think we need the Furrari to enjoy the fll_moon . -- Tess
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360

Good morning, So glad to see the stoopid puter thing working again.. I believe you are correct, what would we do with out them? :lol:
Also happy to hear the nanner pile has been loved and all is well in Mannie land.
I wish you another great day for Mannie and you as well Michelle :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360, +2 309, +4 206

+4 206, YAY! Yellow! a little fast, but then again this is Mannie. I fed this with some 3% to slow things up a little...

Morning Julie - oh I know.... I knew we had issues when I went to bed last night, had so hoped they would be resolved by he time I booted this thing up, but alas.... not to be. Nice though to have a phone that can log me in here, but sure couldn't see doing Mannie's morning condo without my PC. Those silly phones are hard enough to type on....

Hi Devon - me too - glad this thing is back up and running... had alot I needed to do today. I, good or bad, do all I have to do via the 'net... and yes -yesterday was great, and wow on that +4 today. he's back to these bounces that clear quickly. YAY!

Morning Ann - hooray on these two being in synch. I hope they forget the teeter totter (anti-jinx!) and oh yes on the cable - phew!

Hi Squirrel - me too on the stoopid puter. I am glad too that the cable folks seemed to have fixed it, and that I didn't need to call - it takes miles of patience to get to a person who can actually help you. and heaven help you if you get in their on hold/in cue thing - a nightmare.... :lol: :lol: and thx on Mannie - looks like it may be a good day today. :cool: :-D

Sous Chef Tess - I am glad the menu is OK.... my beans 'puter was all messed up - she said sumtin' about an internet issue... whatever that is... I dunno, but I had to really wing it on the menu... my bean said I needed to put them flowers in da fuds, that is just too weird, but I did some anyways... The furrari is a great idea!! wind in our whiskers,. flower scents in the air, a fll_moon to see! AWESOME! See you soon! We needs to wake up Gracie... ~~ Chef Mannie

Sous Chef Rusty - YEAH!! on the lemon curd - great idea dude. Boy they sure gots lots of oranges and lemons and limes in Florida. :shock: See you soon - I'm just finishing up the flower leis... maybe we can make some more when we gets there. See you ! ~~ Chef Mannie
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360, +2 309, +4 206

Good morning Michelle and Mannie! Glad you got your computer fixed and hope it is smooth sailing the rest of the day. Sounds like it has already been a day full for you. Have a great Monday and keep coming down Mannie!

Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360, +2 309, +4 206, +6 155

Michelle,
Such excitement already today! Well, it's wonderful to see Chef Mannie come down to 155 @ +6. Tessie Lou is at 160 right now, so I think they both must be feeling good, don't you?

Enjoy your walk on the beach. Sounds so nice!

Mannie, I'm excited about the fuds, and oh the flowers, and seeing Florida, and the fuds! I'm gonna bring a pumpkin pie that we can all share. My bean says there's no sugar, so we can eat all we want! I can't wait to get my flower lei, too. I love the smell of fresh flowers. :-D Can't wait to see you and all the other kits. Tessie Lou

Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360, +2 309, +4 206, +6 155

Hey Michelle, glad to hear all is well in Mannieland and Internet is back up and working. I have Internet problems the wee hours of the night for some reason! We just got back from Vetty and I'm catching up on condos. So no whacking this morning, huh!

Hey Mannie, oh my gosh, I almost missed out on the party because my Bean took me to the Vetty. That menu sounds so lovely; I don't know what else to add or bring along, but I'll think of something. I was at Vetty this morning, and they found a bad toothie, so I'll have to go back again and have my toothie fixed. Tonight I plan on eating up a storm. See ya soon, Maggie
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie AMPS 360, +2 309, +4 206, +6 155, +9.5 91

91 @ +9.5. oh wow! we made green. :mrgreen: Mannie you never cease to amaze me.... :cool: :cool:

Hi roni - yes, thank somebody - what a royal pain the no internet thing was.... Err!!! but all is well now, and Mannie decided to celebrate by performing one of his signature mini dives. :razz:

Hi Sandy - I so agree! I really didn't expect this today, not with a 360amps. no complaints though right? And yes - beach walk was good. Tide was out, so i was able to walk quite far. very nice, except for brewing winds and storm clouds. :lol: :lol: looks like another wet system is on its way. :roll: :shock:

Hi Sherry - me too! That was like loosing both arms.... I sure don't know how I ever managed without it. scary, huh.

Hi Ann - nope, no whacking. :lol: :lol: and a big YES on the internet thing! oh WOW on Maggie - a bad tooth - so sorry! so then there was a reason for her higher numbers. wow.

Maggie!!!!!!!! You went to the vetty??? You need the KTSS???? We can come and give you the spa treatment so you will be all spruced up for the party. I think the KTSS needs to visit Gracie's Teddi too - he got an abscess! euuwwww - those are awful. Does your toothie hurt? what a bummer.... well tonight we party so we can forgets about it for now. See you soon - I will picks you up! ~~ Mannie

Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87

Hi Michelle!! What a morning you had and yes I was worried last night. TG for our Droids!!!

Gosh I love looking at Mannie's SS....all that blue and GREEN!!!! Your patience and diligence is paying off big time!!

Gracie and Tobey are so excited about the party tonight even though it has been a bit hectic around here today to say the least.

Mannie..I am hoping to have many niptinis tonight. I am very excited about all the wonderful fuds and the party at Zoe's. When Teddi is better, we can have a big party here!!
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144

144 @ +1. not bad - it is the boost expected from the fuds fed. I fed this one with a 3% LC, and will see where he is at at +2

Hi Squirrel - so so nice... I did not expect this with that amps this morning. Impressed with the boy tonight. Awesome indeed Mannie!

Hi Marje - sorry... I don't know why I didn't update last night with the droid... obviously not thinking. :lol: :roll: Well, it was nice this AM to be able to post something! I sure couldn't see doing all that goes into Mannie's morning post via the droid :shock: :shock: so I was glad we were back online soon after. Thx on Mannie's SS - it is so pretty right now. I love it. paws crossed and antijinx that the other proverbial shoe isn't waiting to drop... :lol: :razz: Mannie was out the door early - something about needing a KTSS Spa treatment for Teddi.

Gracie - I hope Teddi is OK.... I had one of them once, on my shoulder. It was big and gross and nasty and smelly, and ugly and euwwwww.... I think something bit me, I dunno..... I will come and help give Teddi a Spa before we head off to the party. I hope Tobey is coming! and that is an affirmative on the niptinis!! They gots orange blossoms in them - cool huh. See you soon, and a big yes on a party at your place when Teddi is better. ~~ Mannie

Hey Tommy!! I can help you with the dance, I'm not too good... but will try. I hope Binks shows up - he's a good dancer... oooooooooo - and Gracie!! She's really good too. We all helps you. I know Moonie would love to have you sing with her. You and Rusty and Moonie could be our new trio! SWEET! See you soon! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144

Wow, Michelle, you have had an exciting afternoon. I am amazed, too, looking at Mannie's numbers and how well you monitor him with food and carbs when he gets low. And all this with babysitting DGS, too. I used to be better at multitasking but not any more!

Hey Mannie, thanks for picking me up in the KTSS and for the spa treatment for the party. I am looking pretty good, or I should say, I feel pretty! Yes, we need to visit Gracie's Teddi, too, for some special tlc.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144

WOOT! King Kamanniemannie is is back!

lrg580.jpg


He and Kawabunga Kitty are gonna put on a Moon Light Show!!

Hey Michelle, PJ party tonight?
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187

187 @ +2. well.... darn it, and I think King Kamanniemannie just fell off his board. 3% should not have done this... :roll: :roll: Mannie????? well darn it again...

HI Ann, and Maggie - thx! I think I do OK when it's just Mannie and I: got the fuds down OK, but wow when DGS is here too... that one is a little tough. I have taken the approach now of getting a test in when the baby sleeps, anytime I am not busy with him. The testing gets a little sporadic, but at least I can get a feel for how the day is going... I think I may have blown tonight, or maybe he was just headed on up anyways. guess we shall see.

Hi An,and Tess - I so hope so!!! But wow on the +2. :roll: Not quite what I expected. the +1 was right on target, not the +2. **sigh** and I so wanted that PJ party, and the moonlight show.... well, night is still young, he may pull it off yet. paws crossed! :-D
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187

Hi Michelle,

Just stopped by to take a look at your condo and noticed the "managing the curve with food" tag on the bottom of your signature. What exactly does that mean? Does that mean you purposely keep him low and then bring him back up with food. If you have time to explain, I would love to understand more.

Mannie is a beautiful kitty. Love his pic. Thanks for dropping in on us and checking on Guinness, I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great night!
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151

Hi guys just dropping in to say hello.

Always a condo of positive energy and smiles...


Pawty, flower power from the garden!!!!!!!! ~~Attie

Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151

131 @ +3. ok...headed back down :-D aya - might make green yet.

H Linda - thanks for the visit. :-D on the managing the curve with food. wow - I hope I can explain this so it makes sense... basically it means that I try to control his numbers at the start of a cycle by using food at the front end of a cycle to control upcoming numbers. He will be fed his main meal at PS time, then a smaller portion at +1, +2, +3. ( I do not feed later on during the day - maybe small snack around +6, but nothing else) basically the food given at this time (at the front end of a cycle: called front loading) will "offset" the effects of the insulin, and keep his curve more even. Mannie is a well known diver. He can start out at, say for example 300 at ps and then dive to 100 by +2. all that diving then made him bounce out into the stratosphere. By feeding at +1, +2, +3 I am, hopefully, slowing the effects of the insulin, and preventing these drastic drops and subsequent bounces. This approach has leveled him out quite alot - the effects were not immediate, but over several months I did find that his diving lessened and his bounces weren't as severe. I hope this helps - if I wasn't clear, or there are more questions - let me know! I will also post this in your condo, in case you don;t make it back here.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

154 @ +4. well - ok! Blue surf! :-D :-D

Hi Beth - love the flowers!

Attie!!! - Hurry!! Paw-tay awaits, and bring them flowers! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

Michelle, thanks that was a great explanation. I guess it's true that every cat is different. Very interesting stuff. It's great that you are able to manage his dives that way.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

Hi guys. I just popped in to let you folks know how we were doing. I'm glad things are going okay with your boy. Loved the King Kamanniemannie on his surfboard.

I hope all the kitties really enjoy the Full Moon party tonight. Tori used to love those parties and all the wonderful food Mannie and the rest of kitchen crew prepared. Party on kitties!!
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

Hi Linda - oh good - I hope it was helpful. and thx. It has taken a while to get where he is now - divers and bouncers aren't easy - :lol: but this approach seems to work for him.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

Hi Barb - Thanks for the visit!!!! I just saw that you have a condo out there - I have to visit. :-D :-D Mannie as been doing OK, and for that I am grateful.

And I know on these parties - it is amazing how therapeutic they can be. How much all love them. Moonie was coming tonight - first party for her after loosing her brother Copper. She was doing a song for all the GA's - I know Tori is included.

I hope you are well - I still think of you, and your girl. She was, and still is, a very special little girl.
 
Re: 5/16 Mannie +11 77, PMPS 87, +1 144, +2 187, +3 151, +4

Yep, i think the PJ party is postponed for another day. Which is probably good since I am one pooped out bean.

Mannie, it's OK. I'm sort of buleish too. We can still surf and put on a good show. The fuds are so good tonight, and the Moon, wow! hey, I'm up! I can have nipitinis! -- Tess
