Great To Be Alive Thursday #316

[RICHARD]

I have some grand idea that it's good to be alive today, Even with all the problems in the world, ours don't seem that bad.

So, it's an open bar-with eternal optimism on tap?:)

DONE!

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I'll drink to that! :)

[Grace]

I'll drink to that! :)

And so will I !!

How about a Harvey Wallbanger today http://www.thatsthespirit.ca/en/images/harvey_wallbanger.jpg

[RedHedd]

And now I've got that old disco beat "Stayin' Alive" in my head! Everybody DANCE!

Harvey Wallbangers .... don't encourage Orc! He WILL start banging the walls!

I'll have a regular iced tea for now.

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, it IS good to be alive and in my case starting tomorrow I'll be able to sleep alot better. I'm geting my BIPAP breathing machine! C'mon Orc, no lullabys. You can't sing! I'll take a decaf coffee with Bailey's in it, please?

[cassiesmom]

I'd like to toast it with green tea, please :)

[Bella_Sadie_Hailey]

I'll go with a starbucks coffee please?:D

[Pinot's Mom]

Oh my goodness, a Harvey Wallbanger...and I even know what that is!! Wow! OK-that dates me.

I'll take the green tea, with a shot of something, surprise me barkeep. :D

[RICHARD]

I'll go with a starbucks coffee please?:D

Welcome to our weekly insanity! A Starbucks?
DONE!
I'll get you the official 'rules' of the thread later on.
But everyone has to tell one clean joke as the price of membership! :)

CM,

Hey guys! Please tell me its sunny at the bar cuzz it is rainy over here!!! I'll take whatevers on tap and some nice warm soup...isn't it supposed to be spring? :confused:

[Karen]

Here, have some nice, hot soup - I brought enough to share, okay? It's good homemade chicken soup, plenty of carrots and celery and real chicken and I so miss it in the real world!

And don't worry, the weather is always perfect here at Thursday's!

[Medusa]

I'll take whatever is on hand to warm me up and get me out of this funk. It's cold and rainy here and the work on my house has come to a virtual stand still because my construction guy over promised and under delivered. There are worse things to complain about but I was hoping to have everything done by the time my son comes in on Sunday. So, make it a strong one, whatever it is! :rolleyes:

[pomtzu]

Yes, it is great to be alive, considering that I have cheated death on several occasions. And today I'm not gonna sweat the small stuff - like how my son made some adjustments to the landscaping yesterday with his new chain saw. :mad:

Coffee will work for now, but I may check in later for something with a little more kick. :)

[Pinot's Mom]

Orc, you never brought my drink! Well, coffee for this morning and I as well will check in later for something with a kick.

Mary, it's a rule of contractors, having been through a few in life, that they NEVER deliver WHAT they promise WHEN they promise, or sometimes not at all! Good luck!! ;)

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I need a sunshine chaser please. Rainy and dreary here today.

[happylabs]

Well, I missed this post yesterday. Are you still partying and can I still get a drink? It is raining here in Pennsylvania today but that is not a bad thing. My car will get the dirt washed off of it.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I could use a sunshine chaser as well, rainy and windy here. Though yesterday started with frost on the lawn it turned out to be a really nice day, but the thing is I want several in a row not just one here and one there. I'd like a nice hot toddy to warm me up, please.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Yeah happylabs, you can still get a drink we party all weekend and sometimes all week here at Thursday's. Just let our illustrious bartender know what you want.:D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm extra glad to be here since a tornado went just south of our town last night. It was headed right for us but turned just in time. There were some tree limbs down, power lines and some grain elevators but nothing major. I AM SO SICK OF ALL THESE STORMS! :(
This has been the worst spring ever!!!

I'd love a super duper cherry vanilla coke and 3 jumbo cat nip teas, please?
My babies were so good last night. Chester was the only one who hid under the bed. ;)

[lvpets2002]

:) Oh I will have some of Karen's Chick Soup.. Orc can you go to the store & get some Crackers.. Get the bit size.. No No dont feed them all to the birds when you pass the park.. Also Orc what happened to Pinot's Mom Drink.. Well if you drank it then you need to get her another one..Ummppss:p

Yeah!!! Thank you...thank you. I need something to get me through this afternoon of boredom at work! Something not too strong but that will perk me up. Any suggestions? :)

[pomtzu]

OK barkeep - a round of drinks for all in celebration of my "paid in full" car. I just have to share my joy with everyone.
And celebrating that it's just great to be alive - and celebrating that the sun is shining after a gloomy looking morning, and I could bore you all with more, but I won't.
However, I noticed a weird smell - thought maybe Orc needed a bath??? :eek: Then I realized that the farmers around here are fertilizing the fields and the wind is blowing that distinct aroma this way. Celebrating Spring???:D:D:D

Yah Spring!!! I can relate to the fertilizing thing. I have Amish neighbors. P.U. :D Why do they always fertilize when the weather is nice and I want to open my windows?!? Whatever the Amish use, it is way worse than any manure I have ever smelled too! (I need a green smiley with a nauseous look on its face.)

(I need a green smiley with a nauseous look on its face.)

Would either of these work?

[Moesha]

I've been singing "It's a great day to be alive..." ALL MORNING! I guess it isn't as bad as "You ain't never had a friend like me" from Aladdin that I had stuck in my head yesterday, but it isn't fun!

[smokey the elder]

Don't you just hate earworms? Maybe a mojito will drive it away! I know I sure could use one.:D

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm with you on the Mojito!! It is great to be alive, the last two days at work were - let's just say not the best - but they're OVER! A round of Mojitos would do a world of good - with possibly some Guacamole dip and Pita Crisps. Orc, don't give me any grief, I know they're all not from the same part of the world! I'm in a mood, OK?? You didn't get me my last drink! :p

[RICHARD]

I am here. I just typed a message, then deleted it because I am too impatient.
Can I give you all a general 'DONE'! :cool:

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I guess that means your still having computer problems, eh Richard:(
I need something chocolate right now. Maybe some of LH's homemade brownies. Oh and BTW, let's not forget that Saturday is LH's Birthday. I'm going to make him a cake.:p

I should be back on line by the end of next week. I have to post via a Playstation controller, one letter at a time. If anything, I have learned patience!
Chocolate......how's about a fruit plate w/a side of melted chocolate ?
DONE?

What flavor of virtual cake can we whip up?

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

The fruit and chocolate sounds good. Maybe some cut up bits of pound cake too, mmmm. Just like fondue.

He's a big fan or chocolate and cherries. But I think just about anything will be good.;)

Ohhh that would drive me nuts...one letter at a time.

Chocolate fruit plate sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!! :love: :love: :love:

Does anyone like coconut? How about a white coconut cake with coconut frosting?

[gini]

Coconut cake with coconut frosting? Forgive me if I drool. Does it have a cream filling too?

Richard, let me help you out until you get things straightened out.

LH - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - a bit early - but why not?

[Pinot's Mom]

I'll go for the coconut cake, but I don't think it matches a mojito at all! :)

[happylabs]

Hmmm...I could add a little green food coloring to the batter. :D

Oh my yes...what would coconut cake be without the cream cheese filling?!? :)

[lvpets2002]

:) Oh this sounds so yummy.. Could we put a few pecans on the iceing all around the cake please..

....well i'm going back outside to attack weeds again, so how bout a big cold bottle of water and an iced tea/lemonaid...aka arnie palmer? ;)

[Medusa]

Ok, I'm feeling better now. I don't even care that work on my house has come to a stand still. The Boy is coming home tomorrow and it truly is great to be alive. I'll have what everyone else is having; that's the good mood I'm in. :):D

[RICHARD]

A giant pitcher of HWBs, a Happy B-day to LH, Cake for everyone and a restful Sunday!
DONE!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Happy Birthday LH! Whoooo hoooo! I made him a Chocolate cake with cherry pie filling for icing between the layers and on top. mmmm. I'm not usually a fan of cherry anything (except for maybe pie) but it came out good.

How's about some pancakes with blueberry sauce and whipped cream.

DONE?:D

[Karen]

Blueberry pancakes for sure! :)

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Absolutely Karen, any other takers?

[RICHARD]

Absolutely Karen, any other takers?

I'll bite! A nd clear the table, too! THANKS! ;)

[Killearn Kitties]

Absolutely Karen, any other takers?Well, I would, but I am a bit concerned that the birthday boy is not first in the queue. I feel it's not a good advert. ;)

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Don't worry he won't mind. I think he'd be more upset if it got wasted so help yourself!:D
