The Easter Bar #426

[wombat2u2004]

Ok folks, I've opened up the bar. Orc is out back washing the dishes because of past crimes.
So what'll it be folks ???
We have some bagels and cream cheese left over from last week, some hot cross buns, and some chocloate eggs and bunnies.
Tea, coffee, ales, wines....you name it, we got it.

"A true friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even though they know you are slightly cracked." :) hee hee


Happy Easter to all my PT buddies.

[Queen of Poop]

I'll have a cup of tea please Wom.

Just finished hiding chocolate eggs in one of my young engineers offices. Along with a stuffed bunny and some chocolate covered raisins. Should be good for a laugh in a couple of hours when he gets in!

Hey all, guess what, YES, we are expecting SNOW later today and tomorrow. It's never going to quit!!

Richard, hope you're doing better and that you are able to leave hospital tomorrow, that will make it a really Good Friday!!

Doris, thanks for all the info and updates on Richard. Thanks also for keeping him and Edster well.

[smokey the elder]

It's STILL not acting like spring (a year ago it was in the 80s F!) so I'll have a hot chocolate and a hot cross bun.

Richard, get well soon!

[lvpets2002]

:) Give us some Peeps.. :eek:What Orc ate them all.. Orc now you have to go back to the store for more Peeps.. :p

[happylabs]

Anything with coconut please. I :love: coconut! :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yes, peeps and a cherry rootbeer for me please? :love:

What? you TRUST Orc with DISHES? :eek:

[Lady's Human]

Better than trusting Orc with the peeps, he doesn't even let them get properly stale!

Peeptinis anyone?

[smokey the elder]

Peeps are still vile. *puts one under vacuum to watch it explode!:D*

[Medusa]

I'll have English Breakfast tea and shortbread, please, Wom. Oh, and I love the egg pix. :D

[gini]

Peeps? Oh my, I love peeps..............only aged Peeps though. Karen, I think you still have some in your cupboard that should be about ready.

S the E - how could you watch a Peep explode and think that was funny? Shame on you - may the Peeps never come off your walls and may they be multi-colored:D:D

Let's see - in honor of the Easter Bunny, I will request a chocolate martini..........made with godiva chocolate liquor.

[pomtzu]

YUM!!! - Peeps - and spiced jelly beans - and just one or two Cadbury Eggs. I'll wait till Monday and then go stock up when all the stores cut the price to get rid of them. :p

Can I have a 7-Up please? Got somewhat of an upset tummy today, and I'm passing on the tacos that the rest of the family is having tonight. It's toast and applesauce for me. :(

Richard - you need to get back here. Look at all the goodies that you're missing. Sending out good wishes and vibes to you! :love:

[Queen of Poop]

Sorry, don't know what "peeps" are. They look like some kind of easter treat?

I'd like a tall gin and tonic with lime please. After having my annual mammogram this afternoon I need a reward! This is year 5 after the lump removal. Gentle reminder ladies - GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS DONE!!

Richard - can't wait till you're back, miss your brand of humour.

[davidpizzica]

Get out of that hospital, QUICK, RICHARD! I should've checked in earlier, but I was somewhat under the weather myself (feeling much better now!) Wom, a couple of hot crossed buns ans a large cup of coffee with Bailey's in it for me, please. BTW, how many dishes do we have left after Orc"s butterfinger handling of them?

[Lady's Human]

dishes, well.........does anyone here have a membership at Sam's club? We might need it...........

QoP, Peeps are marshmallow animals (bunnies, chicks, etc.) coated in colored granulated sugar.

[RICHARD]

First off, I need something strong Wom, and make it a double, I'm drinking for Richard too.

QofP, I would much rather have snow than the thunderstorms w/ chance of tornados forecast tomorrow for here. I lived in Germany for 5 yrs and I miss the snow. We do get some, but not nearly enough for me.

Friday apparently was a little optimistic, but he's now hoping for Sat. He's at a teaching hospital and since he hasn't had a colonoscopy (ever) they have decided to schedule him for one. My advice was to ask for double the anesthesia to make sure he doesn't feel the camera at all.

Doris

[cassiesmom]

Look at these--- how cute! WIsh I'd found this a week or two ago.

http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/recipes/?type=recipe&rcid=aa7d735a-4b2e-42ec-a369-eb3c92943fef

Could I have diet 7-up, please?

[wombat2u2004]

Wow. The place is packed.
Orc !!! Get a move on, we need more dishes. If you break any more, we may have to eat off the banana leaves from the Indian restaurant next door.

QoP.....a cup of tea for you. In a mug today, Orc hasn't started on the tea cups yet. Milk and sugar is on the table already. :D

Smokey.......one hot chocolate coming up, and a hot cross bun. Would you like some butter with that ??? :D

Helene.........Peeps ??? You'll have to wait for Karen to get here, she'll be bringing some from her collection. ;)

Helen.....We'll make something coconutty for you as soon as Orc gets one down from the tree. ;)

MOF.....A cherry root beer for you, in a long tall glass. Peeps will be here soon. KAREN.....hurry up with those peeps. :cool:

LH......the peeptinis look....errrr....delicious.

Mary......an English shortbread tea and a breakfast for you. ORC....STOP MESSING WITH MY ORDER BOOK !!!!!

Gini......A chocolate martini coming right up. Peeps will be here soon. ;)

Ellie.........a 7up for you. And the ORC wants an Easter kiss if that's ok. :p

QoP........I'm not sure what a peep is either mate....but I do know that when they are mentioned the ORC goes and hides.
A gin and tonic with lime for you, here you go. :D

David......a coffee for you with baileys, and there's a plate of hot cross buns for you. Eat as many as you want mate.

Richard......we have some liquor anasthetic here for you, all ready to go.
A colonoscopy ??? Bummer !!!! The Orc said he's a specialist at that.....if anyone is interested. :D

Doris........a double shot of anything you'd like from the bar mate....your choice. ;) ORC !!!! Would you stop oggling at Doris please ??? And NO, you cannot go out and play with her in the snow !!!!

[wombat2u2004]

Elyse.........glad to see you here mate. One diet 7up for you....enjoy ;)

[gini]

Wow - this place is jumping! It's that Peep season - gets into everyone's blood.

Oh, now that is a good martini and I didn't think it would be as I usually like my chocolate dark and straight up! Wom, you are doing good.......

Do we have some new bar patrons? Do you know the rule about telling just one good joke - and then you are a member for life?

We need some new good jokes anyway - so go for it.

Oh, that stand over in the corner is to hold the candles that we can light for Richard praying that all will go well for him and Doris too. Please help yourselves. There are candles and matches by the stand.

No Orc, those candles are not for your birthday....besides you have already had two birthday celebrations this month (he ought to be 212 by now with all of these celebrations).

[slick]

WARNING:
Do not put peeps in the microwave!

[Pinot's Mom]

WARNING:
Do not put peeps in the microwave!

Well, great Slick, now you've got the idea (BOLD AND IN PINK!) in the Orc's head. :rolleyes: Can't wait to see where this one goes!

Could I get some Peeps (preferably raspberry coated in dark chocolate, and yes, they do come that way!) and cappuccino, please? Thanks! Happy Easter y'all! :D

[pomtzu]

dishes, well.........does anyone here have a membership at Sam's club? We might need it...........


I'm headed off to Sam's. How about I just pick up a bunch of styrofoam or paper plates? That way, if Orc starts flinging them around, nobody is going to get hurt and it won't be much of a mess to clean up. :eek:

After my coffee tho. It's darn chilly and I need something to warm the innards.

[happylabs]

OMG those are cute! :love:

[smokey the elder]

WARNING:
Do not put peeps in the microwave!

Oh, why not? You never let us have any fun!:D:p

When I was at Univeral Orlando I had a chocolate martini that was just divine! We make them at home now, with one part each Godiva chocolate, Frangelica and vodka.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

OK GUYS, PULL THE TRUCK AROUND BACK!!!!

Orc go unlock the door. I was at walmart this morning and got us a year's supply of peeps!!! Peeps for all seasons too!!!

Orc, Don't you dare try and eat all of them. You will explode!!!

Of course, they aren't aged like karen's. But if we put some in the lost and found by the time we find them again, they will be. :D :love:

[RICHARD]

The latest Richard update: Apparently Sat was a bit optimistic, so he's now saying Sun. They have removed the continuous IV and foot pump, that points to a release sooner rather than later.

I can't remember who asked, but yes he did lose all the toes on his left foot, but has the majority of the ball of his foot, so with the proper orthotic, he should be able to walk normally. They have him using a walker now.

Wom, I thought you would guess that a gal from KY would only drink Bourbon, straight. No nasty Mint Juleps for me, thank you very much. And Orc is more than welcome to come play in the muddles (muddy puddles) w/ Tucker. I outgrew that more years ago than I care to admit to.

I took printouts of this thread to the hospital tonite and Richard really had a belly laugh from Slick's comment about peeps/microwaves.

Richard is such a charmer. He literally has nurses fighting to be his nurse. He treats everyone w/ such respect that even the orderlies and custodians love him. Gotta respect someone who respects everyone that works hard to make a living.

[Karen]

Well, at least he may be home for Easter! And, given that he worked at a hospital for so long, I imagine he has healthy respect for those that do the hard work there! Tell him that when I was recovering from brain surgery years and years ago, the first time they had me use a walker, the physical therapist marveled and said "You do that remarkably well for a person your age!" I explained that I had lots and lots of elderly friends and relatives, so had seen the technique for much of my life.

[wombat2u2004]

WARNING:
Do not put peeps in the microwave!

Will this happen if we do ?????

http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae186/wombat2u2004/010SmellyMicrowavePeeps.jpg

[wombat2u2004]

Yep, come on folks start unloading those peeps. Richard will be here soon for his share.

http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae186/wombat2u2004/peeps.jpg

[wombat2u2004]

Wom, I thought you would guess that a gal from KY would only drink Bourbon, straight.

With a little umbrella and a plastic seahorse in it ???? :D

[Lady's Human]

No, Wom, the umbrella and the seahorse go in RICHARD's drinks, not Doris's.

Glad to hear Richard's spirits are up, though I'm not surprised. We'll have to stash a walker for him in the bar, and make sure his orthodics are fireproof. After all, Orc can get a little out of hand with the fireplace. :p

[Medusa]

I'm so glad to hear that Richard is doing better. And it's no surprise that he's charmed all the nurses b/c he's managed to charm all of us here on PT as well. That's our guy! Happy Easter, Richard, and try to stay out of trouble, will ya? :rolleyes:

[gini]

Moff, aren't you wonderful? Just look at all of those peeps. Makes the fillings in my teeth rattle - ha ha.

Thank goodness this is a virtual bar and we can eat and drink anything that we want - no harm done.

I lit a candle for Richard - I am sure they all love him to bits at the hospital. Let's just hope that he will heal well.

Hmmm, thanks for the chocolate martini recipe - I will have to try that out in real life.

A Very Happy Easter to everyone!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Gini - here's another chocolate martini (Don's recipe) - equal parts Godiva chocolate liquor and Vanilla Vodka. Garnish with peppermint stick at Christmas - powdered cocoa the rest of the year....

You get to decide how large the "equal parts" are..:D;):D.

[Queen of Poop]

Hi all (waves)!!! Guess what!!! No snow!! I even wore flip flops today!!!

Could I get a white wine please to celebrate.

Richard, praying tomorrow's your day.

[wombat2u2004]

No, Wom, the umbrella and the seahorse go in RICHARD's drinks, not Doris's.

Oh, I thought Richards drinks had the little sombreros in them, served with the bowl of chillied jumping beans. :D

[wombat2u2004]

Hi all (waves)!!! Guess what!!! No snow!! I even wore flip flops today!!!

Well ya can't help bad luck mate. We're praying hard here for more snow. :p

[Bonny]

Could I ask for a Cranberry Wine Slush to start off the Easter morning before I have to go whip up a meal. I like that relaxed feeling I get when I measure stuff in the proper portions & sometimes even have to guess.

[wombat2u2004]

Could I ask for a Cranberry Wine Slush to start off the Easter morning before I have to go whip up a meal.

Nope !!! You're getting what everyone else gets around here, flat lemonade and peeps. :p

[Lady's Human]

Flat peeps??????

ORC!:mad:

[Bonny]

Nope !!! You're getting what everyone else gets around here, flat lemonade and peeps. :p

I have a confession to make. I ate a whole box of yellow peeps yesterday. I hogged them & had them hidden in the back room & didn't share a one with anybody. :( But they were really good & I enjoyed everyone last one of them thoroughly. I was in PEEP heaven. :D

[RICHARD]

Easter update: Unfortunately Richard was not discharged today. He is NOT upset at this turn of events. Seems he likes being waited on hand and foot (excuse the pun).

He has 3 different drs that all have to sign off on his release and one has been ok w/ release for the last 2 days, the other 2 not so much.

I can't wait for him to come home, for lots of reasons but one is that it's easier to introduce 2 pets to one another w/ 2 humans to make sure no one gets hurt or bit.

I'm hoping that the next posting is truly Richard's.

Doris

[Karen]

Oh, Doris, thanks for the update! Hopefully Monday everyone will finally agree and he can get back to Eddie, whom I am sure misses him terribly!

[wombat2u2004]

Awwww....truly terrible.
Poor Richard, he must be getting so sick of the three cooked meals a day and the constant attention of the nurses. Cruel....cruel. :p

Righto !!! You're in the kitchen old mate....washing dishes for the next two days. That's your penance for being a greedy gutz. :)

[Medusa]

Can the Orc help me? It is dark & spooky back there in the kitchen with all kinds of funny critters running around with hairless tails tails & big bugs the size of a saucer.

[wombat2u2004]

Sorry mate, but you're on ya own. I gave the Orc time off to go play in the compost bin.
Do what I do.....stand at the door and hose everything down from a distance :p

[wombat2u2004]

:d:d:d Ok, why aren't my smilies showing up, just letters?

OMG.....your computer is broken. :eek:
That happened to me once. The only way you can fix it is to.........
............ahhhhh...I forgot.....sorry :p

[Medusa]

:D Just testing. Crazy computer!

In that case I better go get the Heavy Duty Power Washer. :eek:

[gini]

Do I dare ask for some help in cleaning up the bar? I think next Friday very early in the morning this place is going to be packed with guests here to watch the wedding on our big screen t.v.

We should probably make a list of teas to have on hand - and scones and clotted cream and a good jam.............what else?

[Medusa]

Now you're talkin'! Perhaps some lemon curd and shortbread tea biscuits.

[cassiesmom]

Oh, good! You're still here! Here are cookies with Peeps on them from a Chicago place (Mindy's Hot Chocolate and I saw the photo in the online Tribune)...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2011-04/61028911.jpg

Do we have any diet 7 up left? We do? Great! Could you please top up my glass, Wom?

[gini]

Now you're talkin'! Perhaps some lemon curd and shortbread tea biscuits.

Oh, lemon curd - one of my favorites - I could just stand there and eat the whole jar with a spoon.

Shortbread tea biscuits - look at the lovely ones that Cassiesmom brought........oh this is going to be a grand wedding!!!

We musn't forget the cucumber sandwiches, eaten of course with ones little finger sticking outwards. :D

[Catty1]

I was just imagining the cucumbers with a little finger sticking out from the bread...lol...

[RICHARD]

The doctors are finally all in accord and fingers crossed, Richard will be home tomorrow. And not a moment too soon for Eddie. He tolerates me, but he definitely misses HIS human.

Not sure he'll feel up to opening the bar Thurs, but I'm sure he'll be on if I remember to keep the laptop charged up so that he can take care of orders from the comfort of his recliner.

Doris

[mrspunkysmom]

That's good to hear. I had wondered where he went. I knew he was moving, but not that he was ill.

I hope you continue to improve, Richard. I don't know you well, but I miss your wit.

And in anticipated celebration, I'll take champagne with a strawberry please, if there is anyone behind the bar besides Orc :)

I'd like to try a peep-tini in honor of gini's birthday and that dress!!! :D :love:

[lvpets2002]

:) Hey I Have Been On The Phone With Richard For The Past Hour.. He is still at the hospital But is being released as of now.. We had to hang up for him to fill out his dismissal.. It was a Great Conversation with him.. He is so Chipper & Happy Sounding.. He said he will post this afternoon when he gets settled at home..

[Pinot's Mom]

So sorry I've been absent! Work ... well, let's just say it's a challenge and leave it there.

Richard, I'm so glad you'll be out of the hospital! :D
Doris, thank you for keeping us updated! :love:

Barkeep! Please another round for the house, and a double Vodka/Diet Ginger for me. I know it's early, but, as I said, it's a challenge!:rolleyes:

Orc!!! What happened to all those nice peep cookies from Elyse? Oh, don't go in the washroom? OH, NO!!:eek: Where are LOK and Pinot - you didn't give them any, did you???:eek:

[RICHARD]

hey kiddies!


I was released this afternoon and I am home.

It's a long story and I for the most part aand glad to be here and thankful for all your good thoughts and prayers and mostly for my friend, Doris. She saved my life. I had a very bad infection in my toes that had turned into a blood infection and a nasty looking foot.

I think the infection 'made' me diabetic and if that? I am borderline.

I want to thank LP for calling this afternoon.

We did have a wonderful conversation and she does have Texas in her voice and aviation in her heart.:D

I wish I could have taken my time and stopped along the way to visit some of the people along my path.

Maybe when I go back to pick up my stuff in storage later in the year I can make a more leisurely trip back here and fit in some of people and sites I want to see.

Thanks again for all your prayers and thoughts.

You all rock!

[Queen of Poop]

Yay Richard's back!!!!

Glad you're doing alright dude! You sure were missed around here. Now get Doris set up with her own user ID so we can chat with you both.

In honor of your return, we had a SNOW shower this afternoon! Yep, we're still seeing the white stuff, it's actually forecast to snow Friday.

[lvpets2002]

:) Glad your home Richard & doing good.. Yes I so enjoyed the phone conversation we had today.. Now Now Richard you know My Cats are My Heart.. Aviation is just what helps me feed my babies..:D Now you get some rest & please dont try to do to much.. Gives that Ed lots of Loven..

[pomtzu]

Richard - so glad that you are home and on the mend. Hopefully you will follow doctor's orders. :p You really are pretty lucky to be here since a blood infection is no small issue - as I'm sure that you know now. I think that Doris is truly your savior. Thank you Doris for getting this stubborn guy the medical attention that he so desperately needed!!! Now keep him on the straight and narrow please! ;) I'm really up for a celebratory drink now.....
Here's to you both!!!

[Medusa]

RICHARD, you bad boy, glad you're home and well on the mend. Really, though, no more worrying us like that, ok? My old heart can't take it. Be good from now (ok, as good as you can be) and we'll keep the prayers and good thoughts going for good measure. :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Richard are you trying to turn my gray hair white? ;) Take care of yourself.

I bet Edster was thrilled to see you, eh? :love:
