*snicker* Did you enjoy your candy, Richard?? :p

I'm up for some of that Christmas Sparkle Punch. I was delighted to share a nice meal Monday night with our very own, Laurie! We laughed and laughed...and laughed some more! I just love her!

PS...honestly...we do have the list! :eek:

I'll take some of that punch, but unfortunately I don't feel much like celebrating right now. Logan & Cybersides need our comfort right now....and me too. It's just too close to Tubby's "anniversary" for me to be reading threads like that. I need the boss to leave for awhile until I get my composure back, and please don't let the phone ring for awhile..... :(

BURR!!! Break out the hot chocolate and lots of marshmallows!!! It's snowing and a grand 15 degrees or maybe it's warmed up to 20 by now. I'm FREEZING!!!

4 warm cnt's too and some warm chocolate chip cookies, please?

Mario, are you helping decorate the tree again this year? I see you are wearing the tinsel! :D

*snicker* PS...honestly...we do have the list! :eek: :D about that list. :D I think Laurie may finally have it, although I'm not sure.

I took her to Buca di Beppo for dinner last night and we had a howling good time. She made me take a pic with my cellphone of the Frank Sinatra shrine that was in the room we dined in. There was Frank, bedecked with fake camellias and a lava lamps loving placed on each side of him :D. Unfortunately, my ISP is being dicky and the picture is somewhere in cyberspace, hopefully winging its way to my e-mail inbox. I will post is as soon as I receive it.

Laurie and I were laughing and conspiring on a visual we got of Mario dressed as Frank, complete with trench coat and hat jauntily tipped to one side, cigarette dangling from his lip .... We weren't even drinking! Really, we weren't!

They fired the litigation paralegal yesterday, so I'm busily taking over all the stuff she didn't do, among other things, so I'm VERY busy. An iced tea and some onion rings would be terrif, before I go back under, deep into the wilds of Excel. :rolleyes:

No I am waiting to go pick it up.

T&P,

Let's say a prayer for them and Rusty the Dog....and I do think that the Tubster wouldn't want his meowmie to be sad. Of course, you do have to be happy about the Ribbon Chewing Kid that wanders the halls........ :D

One CSP,

DONE!

LOL, Will I get in trouble for saying Xmas Punch? :eek:

MOFF,

Hot Choco w/marshmallow, 4 CNTS and some choco chip cookies!

DONE!

Mario.

I left the stems on the cherries so you could hang some on the tree.... :D


Redd.

No drinkies???

lolololol,

Ice Tea and Onion Rings.....DONE!

That depends, Richard, if you're throwing a "holiday" party, then it would have to be "holiday punch." If, however, you're throwing a Christmas party, then it's definitely Christmas punch! However, I believe the final determining factor would be how many glasses one has had - which would determine just if, where and when the punches will be thrown! :eek:

Throw another one my way while you're at it - thanks. :D

And you're so right about Tubby and that snotty little orangie boy. I really think they would have liked each other. :D

My mom always told me to never punch a lady.......But I think she wouldn't mind this time!!

A CSP, THE DRINK!

P.S. go home and get me a double snotty hug? Okay?
The Hug, Not the Snotty?

Not me! I wouldn't wish this on anyone! I sure hope you don't get the awfully low temps with it we are getting. It's just miserable here. Or maybe my old bones just are more sensitive to cold now. :eek: :D

I'm jealous! I don't think it got above 13 here. Now we have a north wind. Should be a 4 cat night tonight for sure!!! It's to be colder tomorrow but Friday they promise we will warm up to freezing, maybe! :D

It was just 60 degrees a few days ago. They say we are about 10 to 20 degrees colder than normal and are having January weather. Gee I can hardly wait until January! :eek: :D

It's a lovely 14 outside here, with snow squalls and a nice 10 MPH wind out of the north. BRRRR!

Barkeep, here's some Chai mix to store in the bar, and could you please boil some water and make some for me? I'm a popsicle!

Lady, did you have fun in the hot tub? Just what I needed, a hot shower from my pup.

I NEED MY PET TALKERS :D Yeah buddy, that was Frank at the restaurant with RedHedd last night .. the room across the hall in the restaurant was the "shrine room" and had a picture of The Pope encased in a plexiglass box on the round dinner table. Hmmm, interesting places these Californians take me to ~ :eek: Karen [Wolflady] and I almost ate calimari steaks :eek: WHOA :eek: those must be some VERY LARGE SQUID if you can cut them into steaks ;) This morning at 6 a.m. (keep in mind I'm still on East Coast time) I am easing myself into the jacuzzi on the 5th floor (funny you should start the tread with Mario, Lady, Possum and a Jacuzzi Richard) Anywho, I'm lollygagging in the jacuzzi and who walks in!!! OMD it's Mario in a Speedo :eek: IIEEE doggies was that a nasty thing to see at 6 a.m. I love you guys to pieces and Geophysisists are a strange bunch, but guys.. they ain't got nothin' on ME!!! hahahahhaha

Well, the candy drive has been driven - and was a huge success, but I still have one bag of candy that I sure wish SOMEONE would pick up. And I got the strangest phone call this afternoon...........someone was singing (well, I will be nice, they tried to sing) THE CANDYMAN SONG!! But this is California and almost anything can happen here.

Oh, the jacuzzi - boy does that sound good - no Mario, I don't think I want to borrow your speedo tonight, thanks though.

Now does it sound like we Californian's know how to show Laurie a good time while she is here or what? Karen in Mountain View - Reddhead in San Francisco - and we do our best in So. Ca. I got a call from Laurie RAVING, RAVING about what a great time she had with both of you. I am very jealous to say the least.

I don't want to hear any more of those low numbers temperature wise........scares me as I am going to Boston for Christmas........brrrrrrr.........

But I won't think about that now, I will just request a Christmas punch -
no, Richard, sit down, not that kind of PUNCH.......(even though you would love to) - no make that two - it has been a two drink kind of day!

Hey all!

Happy early Thursday to you all. I wish it were Thursday...because its two days closer to the end of training, although I found out today that we are being trained on an obsolete system so right after this training, I get to go into another training class.

Work....is....boring. And no PT access either :p

I'll take an eggnog

Okay guys (good thing I filled the wood box last night, it's COLD in here) I'll get the fire going, and there's a bagel bar on the bar with hot coffee and hot chai. Dig in, everyone (but don't share too much with lady, cream cheese makes her gassy)

Corinna
12-08-2005, 10:14 AM
Good morning all Hello Lady , I brought a Quiche just cheese so I guess none for you girl.
I think a hot reg tea this morning will do.
Got to brave the snow and wind, cold to go buy dog food.

12-08-2005, 11:04 AM
I want some hot soup for lunch today! How about some veggie soup? Some hot tea, and 4 catnip teas too?

(ok, gini close your eyes!) It got to 0 here with a wind chill of -10 last night. Going to be even colder tonight. Gee, I can hardly wait! I'm sure there will be a big THUD heard all over the country when I get next month's gas bill.

(ok, gini you can open your eyes now) We did get around 3 inches of snow but it's the fluffy kind that just blows off the cars and things. It was pretty this morning when I was letting the car run; looked like millions of diamonds sparkling. I love it like that! It best be gone by Monday though, another Doctor appointment. Still fighting with the blood pressure. :eek: :)

LH,

Thanks for your work in putting up the wood....
Bagels and cream cheese? I think there is a little bit of lox in the Fridge..

Hot chai tea for the man! What, no Yak butter?? :)

Wolflady,

Either you order a drink or move along ;) ...You are getting the patrons mad at you because you and Laurie are having fun. :)

12-08-2005, 02:13 PM
Geez, I just walked in today and there are so many conversations going on that I can't keep up.

Let's see - the Madonna disguised as an onion ring is stopping off in Napa on Her way to the July BBQ.........but She got sidetracked and is sitting up at the bar saying, thank you, She doesn't drink, but a nice cup of hot chocolate would be lovely.

Richard, exactly WHAT DID you put into my two punches?

Corinna, I don't think I will start a 2006 BBQ thread until at least January of the year in which it is being held. But the middle of July will be the target date. AND YOU MUST COME AND BRING YOUR HUBBY TOO. Ask Catland (Julie) and Byron who was very reluctant to attend what kind of time they had. Couldn't even keep pants on Julie!!! (you had to be here to appreciate that comment).

Just tell your hubby that all we do is sit around and watch slides of everyones cats. :eek: :cool: :D :D

Now, back to the bar...........I don't dare have another one of those punch thingys!

It's a wonderful life is a great movie! I would love to see it! Let's get it!

I'll take some hot chocolate, it just feels so cold to me. What is Mario drinking to stay warm or is he just naruarally warm already? Give that boy some hot chocolate too!

Hope everybody is doing okay this week. I know there is a lot of snow everywhere. We are ever supposed to get some, but I am thinking not. I'll believe it when I see it! Just been raining so far.

Hey folks....I got a call at work from Debbie. She was driving home from work in snow....or should I say crawling home in snow. Get home safe Debbie and check in tomorrow. :)

But maybe you should keep your pants on if you come to the BBQ ;) *snirk snort.. yep, you had to have been there* heeheehee* Everyone else.. I'll try to ketchup later or may have to wait until I'm home Saturday night. ooops.. times up. OH QUICK, Wolflady, I'll try to call you later - (dern computer police are giving me looks) have to run.

And no matter what kind - the police show up - just happens this time it is the computer police!! Sometimes, even firemen show up!!!

Debbie - hope you get home safely!!

12-08-2005, 08:42 PM
Corinna, it just seems there is this habit in California that if you are through with your mattress - you just chuck it on your lawn. I have never quite figured that one out - but EVERY TIME I drive somewhere and see a mattress out by the curb, I think of Laurie.

One year I saw so many that I was going to take pictures and send them to Laurie so she could take her pick.

Yes, and Julie ---- here I didn't know her from Adam at the beginning of the BBQ - well we became quite close after Randi, Sara and I worked over her pants at my kitchen sink! Talk about GIGGLES!!!!

o.k. the intermission is over - back to the couch to watch the rest of the movie.

Aaaahhhh...just what I like to come home to, a good movie, extra buttered popcorn, a roaring fire and nice snuggly furballs. Almost worth sitting in traffic 3 hours for.....almost..... :rolleyes:

Yep, you heard right. My normal 40-60 minute commute took me 3 hours. First I talked to Terry, then I talked to my mom, then I stopped for gas, then I was bored and I remembered I had Slick's work phone # programmed in my cell phone, so I called her, got lucky and she answered the phone (I was expecting voice mail) and the next thing you know my battery is beeping at me, telling me it's going dead - drat! But I was aalllllmmmoooooost home, but I stopped at the grocery store first - what they hey, it was on the way - and then I finally made it home - whew! Terry had dinner waiting for me and Peanut and CJ were happy to see me. Now we're snuggling on the couch watchng the news coverage of the plane that went off the runway at Midway. Fortunately I was nowhere near Midway.

So, hope everyone has a good night. Before I got the brilliant idea to start calling people, I got some good pictures and video on my drive. When I get them downloaded those who live in warm climates should be able to experience a real midwest snowstorm. :D

Nighty-night.....coming CJ.......

Richard, after looking at that news article, can we get someone to look at the ceiling in here? :D

Does Irish coffee go with Flexoril? If so, I'll take two of both!

Lady, you can hog the couch for now, just remember you're going to have to move when the rest of the humans get here.

Oh, please...no ceiling looking today.

I TRIED to fix a leaky roof for a friend, I THOUGHT I fixed it, right?
We had a small squall pass thru last night...

I get a nice email telling me that the roof leaked, again...(insert foul language here..)

Flexoril, and an Irish Cafe!.....

DONE!

Hey DJ....
One more eggnog....

DONE!

Hey David,
I don't blame you for not letting us ride in your car ;) :eek: :D

One hot chocolate...DONE!

Here's a confession....I have never seen IAWL in it's entirety....

I am going to get myself a triple punch and lay down for a while....



Corrina,

Thank you for sharing your popcorn and 7 up.


Now, let's get to T&P..

3 hours???? How many times did you change the radio? :eek:
I guess I can't complain about the traffic here. If it ever snowed here in CA all life as we know it would end....

LOLOLOL,
Do you remember the joke about the white piece of paper.....

"What is it?"
"A picture of a polar bear during a snow storm!!"

Tray.

Hi how are you....I guess Is shouldn't complain considering the rain you all are getting.

Two chocolates......DONE!


Slick and Laurie....

When you put them both together the world starts to laugh....

Gini, I am gonna punch myself....right in the head!!!

One drink, Punch......DONE!

Since the movie doesn't have to go back until sunday morning let's just have an "It's a Wonderful Life" movie marathon??? :eek:

Well, I am in for bit, mittens are soaked through, snow is still falling at a rapid pace - I shoveled out the kitchen door, down the driveway and up the front stairs, then had to shovel my way back up - another 2 inches were sitting where I had first shoveled.

It is currently thundersnowing - I understand that doesn't happen in most of the world? It happens several times a winter here!

Richard, I, too have never seen the whole "It's a Wonderful Life," just parodies, clips and snippets. And I figure, might as well not break the streak now!

RICHARD, I just joined the "shovel out the driveway parade" myself! We had about 4-5" in Pittsburgh overnight. Don't worry, I took it easy and took breaks. Karen, Pittsburgh has had thundering snowfalls maybe not as often as you, but we've had them. Does anyone have the coffee going? I'll just sit by the fire and watch George Bailey.

Karen,

I can imagine how frustrating that must be......

You get to the end of the walkway, turn around to admire you handiwork and :mad:

Can I pour you some chai?

DONE!

LH,

LOL,

Any tips on sending snow via post??? :eek:

How's about a refill on the cafe?
DONE!

David,

You better take it easy...I hear the horror stories from people who do too much shoveling....

COFFEE? DONE!

All of you come in and sit down by the fire....


I have been in falling snow twice in my life.

The last time I was filling up my truck to bring home a load for the neighborhood.......I was with my brother and watched a storm come flying UP
the hill, in a valley.. it took about 20 minutes to get to us...It was beautiful and scary...

12-09-2005, 03:07 PM
OK, hear me out. Youz all can just keep yer snow wer it's at!! We don't want none white stuff up here!!!

Things are a bit slower here today so just stopping by for a bit. I'll take a double BM please with a giant olive stuffed with garlic and a skewer of shrimp. MMMMMM.

**plops on the couch**

How is everyone today?

12-09-2005, 05:25 PM
Well, after getting up two mornings in a row at the crack of dawn thanks to Annie and also the need to let an electrician in the house.........the city inspector FINALLY arrived.

After my flood event I needed a new electrical panel and it has to have a permit and pass final inspection by the city. The guy arrived and he talked my leg off. Nice guy, didn't want to irritate him, but he gave me the lowdown on two of my neighbors who are being busted for illegal additions to their homes. I had wondered what all of the hammering was about.

Ah, California - where people think they can get away with anything!!!

I fell asleep last night before the movie was over - I sure hope you guys are showing it again. I would like to see Miracle on 34th Street again too...........I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE!!!!

Awww, Richard, forget about the roof and rain and pour us another drink!!

♥♥♥♥ to everyone!!

I did! I did get snow! Everything is gorgeous, my mittens are now drying on the radiator, and life is good.

No need to mail any. It has stopped now, the roads are a mess, and many businesses just closed up shop! Sheesh! It's just snow, people, which we get every winter? ;)

But it's so pretty, and I was singing Christmas carols as I shoveled, and I do just love it!

Saturday night - NBC - 8/7 central - It's a Wonderful Life.

Karen, check your local listings and make a date with your TV. Remember, you're never too old to see it for the first time. ;)

Way too busy today, time to relax on the couch with a nice glass of punch and an orangie boy. :D

Karen
12-09-2005, 10:30 PM
Ah, but see, I've decided that I never will, so I can always be the only person in the room who hasn't seen the whole thing. I mean, I know all the good parts anyway ...

And I neglected to thank the bartender for the chai earlier, but it really hit the spot!

G'day everybody,
Snow!!! We cracked 40degC during the week. :eek:
Guess it's more beer weather. :D Though I would never pass up an eggnog.
"Mr Smith goes to Washington" is another favourite of mine, could easily settle down on a couch and watch that with eggnog and lots of comfort food. :)

I knew I made a mistake when I brought Lady in here......

I just had to let her collar out a notch. She's getting too much from the handouts in here! :D (not that I spoil her, nope, not me)

Corinna
12-10-2005, 10:52 AM
I think we should let Mario pick a movie .leans over to hear him whisperWhat? ok Mario wants the "Busting Loose "movies with Clint Eastwood and Clyde. We'll I guess that could be ok. I do love the old lady screaming about him stealing her oreos.
Lady you look just fine to me. I like my pups a little on the round side (it gets really cold here need that little extra) :D

Lady's Human
12-10-2005, 11:31 AM
It gets really cold here as well, in reality I think Lady is just adjusting to the weather here in the winter. Her tail is even fluffed out a little bit. Her body is getting fuzzier for the cold, and she's spending more time outside than she ever has (More room to run). She IS getting pudgier, though. I think I need to cut back on the cheeseburgers. :D

Anyway, how about some hot cholocolate to go with the movie? Is it Any which way but Loose or Any Which Way You Can? Love those movies. :D

Corinna

How did the Amour do for your shopping trip?

Lady's Human
12-11-2005, 02:44 PM
Amour on a shopping trip ? Sounds Lovely. (sorry, corinna, I had to)

I hate Christmas shopping. The one time I enjoyed it was when I went with a friend of my wife. Our first stop was at a sports store where she bought a hockey stick for her boyfriend. For some reason, after that we had no trouble getting through the crowds.

AARRGH! What day is it? Where am I? Was that knock on the door from roomservice? Oh, no.. it's just Possum and Mario playing pool :rolleyes: Lady is doing arobics after some *not so very subtle* remarks on her - um.. womanly figure ;) After spending almost an hour deleting SPAM from my email the very first "real" message I read was HERE :D But now I have a few other threads I must check out. Some I'm not looking forward to :(

gini
12-12-2005, 08:53 AM
Laurie, good morning! Yes, I agree, Spam for breakfast isn't very good is it?

I am heading on over to the coffee pot to get that going and maybe make some cinnamon rolls to start the day out a bit better.

Glad you are home safely! See, Mario, Possom and Lady are sooo happy to see you too.

12-12-2005, 09:04 AM
Good morning, ladies! It's cold and snowy in Pittsburgh today. Gini, while you get the coffee perking I'll get some wood from the outside and get a comfortable fire going. Gee, Lady and Mario play pool pretty loud, don't they!

lbaker
12-12-2005, 09:21 AM
Possum, Lady and Mario remind me of Gini, Slick and me ~ if it ain't loud and outrageous it just ain't fun :D

12-12-2005, 10:34 AM
Wow, another week when Thursdays has gone on and on and on!

Gini - so glad you made it out alive!

I'm somewhat in a party mood - even though it's Monday morning. I just have to make it through 4 more wakeups before I'm on vacation for 2 weeks! Woooo hooo!!! And we're going to the Keys, so I'll be able to escape this frozen tundra they like to call Chicago. ;) :D

Hi all at Thursdays.. haven't been around in a while.

In an excellent mood today.. what a perfect Christmas gift, my brother is moving out!

I laughed when I read that piece of trivia......Pia Zadora's first movie.... :rolleyes:

I heard this song a few months ago and it's a catchy tune....

David,

Thanks for taking this last Thursday into this week- it made me think of this song!!!
