59????

[RICHARD]

59.....

I am at a total loss for thinking of a theme that coincides with this number......


I need help today!

the Drink of the Day??


Manhattan
2 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 dash Angostura bitters
maraschino cherry
Stir liquid ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with cherry.

I feel a little East Coast today..

------------------------------------

Stupid story of the week..

I am getting off the freeway......At the stop light at the bottom of the ramp I pull up next to a Jeep and see there is NO ONE in the driver's seat........I wait for the driver to sit up because I know some one is looking for something that fell on the floor...

The light turns green and the steering wheel starts to move and the car rolls forward...

I'm thinking this person is a total dope for trying to drive that way!

The Jeep starts to move faster and then I notice that it's being towed by the RV in front of it..

:eek: :confused: :eek:

Am I a moron or what?:D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

No drink of the day for me but I would love some of those cherries in a big cherry limeade!!! Oh, and 4 catnip teas on ice. The kids have been good this week!

LOL! I thought maybe you were going to tell us a dog was driving the car! (or maybe Mario)
:D

[slick]

Richard: I'm not even going to comment on that story :D :D


August 21, 1959 - Hawaii is admitted as the 50th U.S. state.

August 27, 1859 - Edwin Drake drills the first oil well in the United States, near Titusville, Pennsylvania

Where will you bein 2059?

Weather is sunny and hot this week. Going to hit 27 tomorrow which is good because I have to condition myself before I get down there next month.

I'll just take a beer and a burger please. Thanks.

[lbaker]

Answer to your last question is
WHAT
Theme for 59, hmmmm *keep it clean Laurie* I'll have to get back to you on that one.
Feeling a little East Coast are you?

:D :D
I take it this was early in the morning on your way to work....??? ;) :D

I'll take one of MOFF's cherry limeades please. I've got another final tonight for the class from hell, so I better stay sober until after it's over. :rolleyes: But then the good news is we've got what can be considered summer break. The next class doesn't start until after the 4th of July!!! So that's 2 full weeks of no school! Whoooohooo!!! I'm not going to know what to do with myself. Guess I'll have to catch up with posting all the pics of T & P that I've been taking but haven't had a chance to post yet....

It's nice here, not too hot, a little muggy, but we're expecting rain....

Looks like another crazy Thursday has started, so bring on the drinks! :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, and I forgot to say, <insert whiny tone here> You guuu-uuys! I'm sooo jealous of your So Cal gathering that's coming up quickly! I've seen that Slick has her hotel booked and you're all ready to get things going! I wanna go.....<pout>

I think you, David, and the rest of Pet Talk should just drop everything and head on over to Gini's for the BBQ. I mean, what's more important, life or a Pet Talk meeting??:D

[trayi52]

Hello all!!! Hope everyone is okay today!

I want to try the DOTD, sound interesting. I think Mario just wants a beer is all, with some of those pitted cherries. That way he don't spit the seeds in the floor!:D

[Miss Meow]

Good morning. A manhattan sounds lovely!

And an aspirin or two. I've cricked my neck and can't move my head. Extremely glamorous ... good thing for rotating office chairs so I don't have to twist :(

[halliecat]

slick.

Of course I'll be alive in 2059,,,you wil be too!

In the meantime, a T & T sounds good.

[zippy-kat]

I'll be 79 in '59! :eek:

[sirrahved]

I'll be 76. I should be playing with my great grand kitties by then!

[gini]

I would love some WINE on this fifty-nine...............

David, shall we put another shrimp on the BarB...........we would reserve the chaise lounge for your comfort -

Have you looked at the guest list? How could you go wrong?
Many of the Thursdays crowd will be here and there will be nothing "cyber" about the day!!:D

Wine? - changed my mind - I will have a martini with David.

Thanks, Richard

[dukedogsmom]

Oh man, I'll be really super old in '59. 95 if I'm still alive by then. I'll be in a nursing home somewhere still using my computer for PT.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Nursing home you say! Bah! We don't need no stinking nursing homes! I'll be a mere 97 - who says 97 year olds need nursing homes?

Slick, I'll take some of those slushies you saved for me now. I took my exam and I think I did pretty good. Not 100% mind you, but that's ok too. Now I'm off for two weeks - yeeee doggy! Anybody wanna buy a slightly used Systems Analysis and Design textbook? Ack - let's just burn the sucker! :p

Slick, when I was 21, my younger brother told me I was "over the hill." Can't wait to raz him next year when he turns 40. <evil grin> The only problem with that is he can in turn raz me about still being older than him. I can't win that argument.....blame it on my mother. ;) :p :D

[slick]

Debbie: Way to go!!!! Still aiming to go into IT???

We've just hired someone to assist me. Start date is July 5th. Good-bye 10-hr days.

One red slushie for you!!! DONE!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

In a round about way I guess you could say. After this class I've learned that I most certainly DO NOT want to be a systems analyst or designer - give me a break!

Thanks for the slushie - gulp - that one's gone, got another? I'm parched! :D

[lbaker]

Still feeling a little East Coast RICHARD? Let's have a New England clam bake, or head on down to the mid-Atlantic for a Chesapeake Bay crab feast! I'd bring a bushel of crabs to the BBQ but they would have to be live... I can just see me bringing Mario and a bushel of live crabs on the plane :eek: Manhattans are a great idea! Maybe in honor of ThelmaLu's first visit to the bar! She is from NY city you know. COME ON IN THELMA, THE WATER'S FINE! Anybody familiar with the group Manhattan Transfer? I think there's a tune or two on the juke box by them. Let me go over and kick the dern thing and get some music in the joint. '59 eh? If it's a Thursday I'll be at the bar at the Bridge with a lot of you and our kritters. Going to have to enlarge the place :cool:

Hi GP. Laurie, I can just see it now you, Mario and a bushel of crabs on the plane.

Excuse me, may I have one beer for each pet? :D

David, Ancient one eh??? Gee, if I'm 107 and you are 111 then doesn't that make me younger than you????:confused: ;) :D

[lbaker]

Then I'll be older than dirt. Will they still have dirt in 2059 or will everything be paved or in a bubble :confused: ACK Let me fix some bloodies and let's get off this age thing... I'm started to walk humped over just thinking about it ;)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Man I'll be 77 in '59...sitting at the old folks home listening to "Baby got Back" on the oldies station...

Ever stop to think that all those obnoxious Rap songs from the 90's are going to become "Clasics"?

I need a beer after that thought...

[slick]

Could we please stop for a minute and say a prayer for Naomi and Bassett. Bassett has a vet appt for Friday (check out Cat Health section) and Naomi is not doing very well.

Here's to you Naomi and Bassett. May you both be returned to good health soon.

[Logan]

I think I will pass on the DOTD, right now, given Naomi's news in Cat Memorial. Please keep her in your prayers. :(

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Logan, I don't feel like partying much anymore either. :(

RIP sweet Bassett. :( :(

I was saving Thursday's as my last stop before I went to work...

I'm really sorry to hear about Bassett-

------------------------------

All this talk about getting old.....it presses the point home...:(

Instead of a toast we can send some cyber hugs and prayers to Nomi....


DONE!

DONE here too!
I think back to the time I met them at the Animal Critical Care Unit and I was able to give Bassett's some scritches from all the Pet Talk people. She was so happy to see Naomi and she even looked at me straight in the eye even though she'd just had sir jury. I'm so lucky that I had a chance to meet her.

DONE! I have a cousin who always says growing old is not for sissies! I can verify that is true!
Loving is not for sissies either. It hurts really bad at times, yet I wouldn't want to do without it.
(((HUGS Naomi)))

Hi to all, again. I have been so busy, it just seems like I am never going to get the stuff around this house fixed! I am so tired, I feel like I am already 111! I think my bones are starting to screek!

I sure would like a couple of nice cold beers, and go ahead and give Mario on, he has been helping me so much. That little tool belt of his come in handy. I just don't know what he done with all the nickels he took from everybody last week!

Why are you all talking about old age?! :eek:

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now I bet Mahayana (sp?) will remember that song.... sigh. * Just a little - touch of gray - We will - survive - We will get byyyyIyahhhy. We will survive. (ahh Jerry, I miss you) Go comfort Mommy, Mario...

[thelmalu99]

I'd like a glass of white wine, so I can raise a toast to sweet little Basset, who went off to the RB today. Naomi, I'm thinking of you and wishing you comfort.

Willie Oops, Willie I think I started it! I don't think you have a creaking bone in your body!

[gini]

You know, you guys, I think the loss of Bassett has hit me very hard.

So many of us were involved with her Sir Jury and deep in prayer for her health and recovery.

She was given just a few months longer to be with Naomi.

But her job is done now and she is at rest. Now we need to rally around Naomi and congratulate her for all she did for Bassett at great personal and emotional cost.

What seems to be important is not how old we are............and I refuse to post my age........but how much love we give............

So, I would like to ask for just a moment of silence for Grasshopper and Bassett............surely they are raising hell at the Rainbow Bridge............we can only hope.

Agreed! I think we should close the bar for this week in honour of Grasshopper, Bassett, and all the other PT'ers pets that have made the trip to the RB, and in honour of the humans who have cared for them.

I know that I'm not in the mood to party.
