Hush....
It seems this thread will only be truly stopped until someone comes in and locks it I suppose.Babbling on forever is our specialty.
Hahaha it seem I was stuck on the page before and I did it.

My kitties really like to sleep with people. My mom usually wakes up with a kitten or 2 asleep next to her and my boyfriend and his mom and sister recently got used to Conan jumping on their beds at night to sleep
August 1st! That MY birthday as well! Please give Snick a extra special hug from me! Yay! Birthday buddies!
I've realized that the cats can easily jump from the top of their six foot cat tower right down onto the bed. I suspect I'll be woken up at least once by a cat springing down on the bed in the night.
Just returned from Eclipse's first dental visit. The vet looked at his teeth, said there wasn't a lot of tarter and didn't recommend cleaning yet. And they don't charge for dental consultations! I love my vet!
Does this mean we don't have to stick to the rules anymore?

Well, if it's going to get locked, I'd like to thank all the babblers here for all their hard work. It was a long 2 weeks that passed very quickly thanks to everyone babbling here.
I would like to thank @Anne and the Mod team for the wonderful opportunity to participate to win some prizes for us and our kitties and, very importantly to get to know more about the people that hang out here a lot of their time.
I had a lot of fun babbling with everyone and I look forward to more fun activities on TCS!
@NewYork1303 Let's not forget the banana!

(Of course now Angua wants to play with them all. Cats
I feel kind of bad posting after all those dancing bananas but wanted to join in the post competition babbling.
I've been out all afternoon and most of the evening and just got back a few minutes ago. I was out with my mom and then spent 4 hours sorting through clothing donations for a local charity shop: it never ceases to amaze me what people hand in. It's a great way to recycle from what you don't want anymore, the charity can make money for their project and people who like to brows and shop but don't have lots of money can find some amazing bargains. Found in a pile of things that had been donated then sorted and priced and left ready for hanging and going out for sale I found 2 lovely men's suits and one of them was an Armani one. Similar things in women's clothing too. Of course there's plenty of stuff that isn't worth much and almost as much that can't be sold but that all gets used even if it has to be scrapped and recycled in to other stuff - money per bag of fabric for recycling.
This babble has been great fun and rI too have eally enjoyed meeting everyone here. It's a nice offshoot that the new weekly thread is starting.
I don't know who's going to close this thread or when but it has certainly been a brilliant babbling competition! Well done all, I think this has totally blasted out the previous babbling competitions.

Well... technically the contest ends on July 30th, so we had one more week to finish. Since it took 2 weeks for us to reach 2500 (1250 a week), I think we would have been able to reach at least 3000-3500 by then if we set our minds to it..without further ado... bananas!
Well, okay. I'll play.
And now....the mandatory bananas!
I've gotten some great things at thrift stores or charity shops. I once bought a small chest of drawers that had been exquisitely hand painted with country scenes - meadows, barns, churches. It was amazing. Unfortunately I gave it to my daughter and when she moved she left it behind.

It's so nice of you to help a charity! A lot of people may not know how much someone has worked for the items to be nice and neat. Great job you're doing!
I'm actually not that surprised! I adore going to thrift shops because you never know what you can find!
I once found a whole garbage bin full of toys! It was about 5 ft tall. The shop owner had not looked inside but since I'm a good customer (maybe too good) he let me "help myself". I was amazed! Sooo many vintage Ninja Turtles toys! My boyfriend collects them and I found one after the other! I immediately called him and after 4 hours of exhausting work sorting the other cartoon we didn't collect, we found about 20-30 figures, tiny weapons, a couple of vehicles, a couple of horses from a themed movie or episode the turtles had, my hands were dirty, my back hurt, but we made out with all those toys for about 20dlls. The guy did give us a deal because we bought in bulk and while sorting we inadvertently decided to help him. He didn't have to do the work so he cut us a deal.
Some of those toys my boyfriend had not been able to find for the longest time and still hasn't found them again!
I guess your find of the suit and my remembering our find of the turtles, warrants... bananas!
Ahh, but at least you and your daughter got to enjoy it for a while!
Well, okay. I'll play.

To me that sounds like an utterly disgusting breakfast but to each his own. Give me one over-easy fried egg, one sausage link, half of an avocado, one piece of sourdough toast and a small glass of milk and I'm in heaven. If I go out for breakfast it's a Denver omelette with toast and a cup of decaf. Cereal of any kind leaves me cold although I have been known to have a cup of hot cereal (but no oatmeal ever) with a dollop of home-canned fruit on it. I eat that when my tummy is upset.
I'm having the same breakfast I've had all week so far. Coffee and some extra toasty Cheez it's. These are new and they are amazing. it's a whole box of the slightly overbaked original Cheez it's. They say it's their #1 most requested new flavor. I see why. They are so good. I emailed them yesterday to tell them how much I like them and they emailed me back pretty quickly to say thanks and included a printable coupon for $1.25 off a box.
Sooooooo, are we going for the 3000 mark? If so, I'm game. Oh. And here's more bananas for your enjoyment!

Quite a few years ago The Goodwill Industries had a "best of the best" sale at their fancy store in Pasadena, CA. They even advertised it on TV. They let people in early to check out the merchandise, then closed the store for two hours before opening it again. That way you knew where in the store was what instead of roaming around trying to find what you were interested in. I bought a 3/4 length beige genuine mink coat for $40.00. It was in excellent shape and I had it cleaned for another $10.00 (I told you it was a long time ago) and then gave it to my daughter who wore it to the opera and other fancy occasions. The stuff that was there was unbelievable, everything from genuine crystal through leather clothes, from gem inlaid oriental screens to designer gowns and dresses with labels intact. I could only wonder where all of that had come from.
Well, okay. I'll play.

I'm not a big breakfast person and this is what I have at my desk at work at about 11:30 AM so I guess at that point it would be a mid morning snack.
My mornings are rushed between getting myself ready, walking the dog, feeding the cats and scooping the litter boxes. Breakfast isn't even a thought.
Well... I'm going to keep babbling here. I hope we don't get thrown out

Bananas rule!
That sounds amazing! One time I saw a rabbit fur full length (?)(looked about 5 ft long) coat. Asking price was about...$15 dlls. I was horrified for the poor animals that had to die to make that rabbit coat
Hahaha, we should make a club of "breakfast at desk near noon"

I have lunch at 12:30 for 30-40 mins and work some more until work day is over and I get home at 7 or so. Feed the kitties, shower, do a little bit of chores, shower and go to sleep. Repeat Monday-Friday!
Oh my goodness. Look what I started. So many dancing bananas. I think my kitten may maul the laptop if I show her them.
okay, i haven't read through since i was last in this thread this morning, so i don't know how the banana fest started........but i'm in dancing banana heaven!!! i love those dancing banana dudes!

I honestly just can't get over that particular emoji. It is so strange and so hilarious. Why is this dancing banana so funny?
