Thursday #149 - Come All Ye Sickly

[slick]

So, our dear bartender had his internet taken away again :( :mad: so I emailed him and he said it was OK for me to open the bar. He sounds sick.....I'm sick.....my Mom is sick....thus the theme for this week.

There is a stack of blankies and pillows by the door, help yourself but don't bump into mile high stack of kleenex boxes. As well as the usual "medicinal remedies" there are also some drug store stuff. When I was down in LA last weekend I picked up some Airborne...amazing stuff if you take it early on. Now, we must be careful...don't want any alcohol and drug interactions going on. :eek: :D Oh yes, and I give a great massage...just ask Gini and Sara! ;)

So curl up by the roaring fire, stay warm and enjoy a "Hot Toddy"....no comments from the peanut gallery... ;)

Feel better everyone!

[Corinna]

since I'm feeling better I'll help you take care of the sickees. I brought Dugan and lady to help those who need cuddly treatments. I think a cup of green tea today would be nice. I'll make a pot for others too.
Sounds like the BBQ went well last weekend.

[RedHedd]

So curl up by the roaring fire, stay warm and enjoy a "Hot Toddy"....no comments from the peanut gallery... ;)

Feel better everyone!Toddy's here! YAY! I hear he gives GREAT massages! :D

Add me to the sickly list too. I'm hoping Toddy will toddle over here with a nice hot cuppa chicken soup with a side of Kleenex. :rolleyes: :p

[Karen]

I'm here, and brought Lady, borrowed from Lady's Human and Lady's Other Human. She's got that short, soft coat, so is a good "hot water bottle" for anyone whose aching muscles could use it. I'm healthy, so will boil water for tea for anyone who wants it. I'll make a pot of chai, but also have yummy blueberry tea that's gotta be good for what ails ya, too. Vitamin C and all that ...

[Corinna]

I have a kettle of chicken soup going . should I add the homemade noodles of just as a broth?

[davidpizzica]

Chicken soup will do me fine. I feel okay, just a little tired after working at Good Will. I swear those people there think I'm 27 instead of 57! Does anyone need a fire going? If so, I'll get Orc started with gathering firewood.

[lizbud]

Sorry everyone's so sickly. May I have a black coffee with a little
Baileys to ward off the germs. :D

[slick]

A big DONE! for everyone.
I'm going to take some drugs and head home. I'll check in later.

[dab_20]

Yep, I'm sick too with a sinus infection. :( Really sucks...

[Lady's Human]

Liz, is that black coffee with a little bailey's or a bailey's with a little black coffee?

Either way, DONE

[lizbud]

Liz, is that black coffee with a little bailey's or a bailey's with a little black coffee?

Either way, DONE


:D The former please and the latter maybe later on. :D
Thanks.

[RICHARD]

Hey guys and gals!

I am ditching work for a week so Let's get this party started!

I missed you all and want to make sure that I take care of everyone...

First of all,

Yes the "evil one" took the internet away from me...but I'll get it back again.
I have had a wonderful time making her life miserable. Sooo, let me say something right now....


I attended the So Cal Picnic and behaved myself....Me porte bien! :p

I met two more PT'ers and they were wonderful. Cincy's Mom and Pnance!

But I want to apologize to Edwina's Secretay's husband....

He wanted to make some slushies for the group and they would not let him....

They wanted me to do it!

No one has got ill from my bartending skills so I think I have a job, should I need one....


Fly me out to your get togethers and I'll tend bar for y'all!! :rolleyes:

Anywaay....I'll check back later to stir and pour..gotta catch up on the other threads!

[Edwina's Secretary]

But I want to apologize to Edwina's Secretay's husband....

He wanted to make some slushies for the group and they would not let him....

They wanted me to do it!



He still got to make his chocolate martinis!..... :D :D :D

[catland]

Hi everybody - sorry to hear about all of the sickies. How 'bout I make some fresh squeezed OJ to help chase away the blues - Mimosas for whomever wants them :)

I had the most horrible dream last night - I had flown down to sunny CA to meet pettalkers and it was a dull and boring weekend. What a nightmare. Good thing that I know that the real thing is much, much different. :D

[RICHARD]

He still got to make his chocolate martinis!..... :D :D :D


And they were 100% to DIE FOR..... :D



Catland.

Boring?

Did we just sit there and look at cat slides?? :eek:

[moosmom]

Happy Thursday everybody. Sorry to hear about all you sickos (just kidding). Hey, if you need a nice, warm, hot water bottle, MooShoo has his paw raised volunteering. Got the box ready, just gimme the address, I'll slap on a label and he'll be there in two shakes of his rat tail to ease your pain!! :D :D

[gini]

I had the most horrible dream last night - I had flown down to sunny CA to meet pettalkers and it was a dull and boring weekend. What a nightmare. Good thing that I know that the real thing is much, much different. :D

I thought we could play Bridge this year. :D

[gini]

I am dealing with a very depressed, dominant and demanding client today - so I'd better just go for some of that tea - and skip the spirits.

So far, I am not sick.........what did you and Richard do, Slick?

[zippy-kat]

I had the most horrible dream last night - I had flown down to sunny CA to meet pettalkers and it was a dull and boring weekend. What a nightmare.

A night full of slide-shows, right? ;) :D

[lbaker]

AARGH, AAAEEEII! Can someone feed me with a spoon? :( Just slide a DOTD down my throat and put a warm furry next to me ~ OH Mario, what a sweet dear you are. All your worries and you still have time for me. Snuggle up dear Boy. :) If life is a carrousel I want to get off right now :rolleyes: Anyone for a game of pool? Or Poker? Aces and eights don't count. Watch out for Mario, he cheats ;)

[Lady's Human]

one warm fuzzy and one spoon fed DOTD? You got it! (Though the fuzzy (Lady) has slick fur, it's soft and really cuddles well)

[lbaker]

ahhh, thanks sweet Lady. And for all out there "dream a dream to make the morning easy, if you can". Love you.
L

[smokey the elder]

I'll have an Irish Coffee, extra Irish, please. We had jambalaya for Mardi Gras; I have some left over. It's spicy, though!

[Lady's Human]

You sharing, Smokey?

How about some hot ginger brandy for all you with sinus problems? Clears 'em right out. (Trust me)

David, last night I got the fire here so hot I couldn't get close enough to toast marshmallows. I looke silly toasting marshmallows for Marylin wearing the fire gloves! :D

[Karen]

But I am sure Marylin would rather have toasted marshmallows than toasted Daddy!

Hey, let's all toast marshmallows, 'specially so Zippy can have s'more s'mores!

[zippy-kat]

YaY! :D

So, Hershey's makes a s'mores (http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/smores.asp) bar. Anyone ever tried it?

Think I'll hold out for the "real" thing. ;)

[Lady's Human]

Hold it, last time someone mentioned s'mores it took 3 days to clean up the bar!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Wow...everyone at my house is sick too. :(, I'm going to take a nap here where it's quiet...

Happy Thursday all, feel better prayers being sent to all that are ill

[RICHARD]

AARGH, AAAEEEII! Can someone feed me with a spoon? :( Just slide a DOTD down my throat and put a warm furry next to me ~ OH Mario, what a sweet dear you are. All your worries and you still have time for me. Snuggle up dear Boy. :) If life is a carrousel I want to get off right now :rolleyes: Anyone for a game of pool? Or Poker? Aces and eights don't count. Watch out for Mario, he cheats ;)

checkers! You don't have to count! ;)

LH, thanks for pouring...

Zip,
Forget the store bought.

You must first,
drop a mallow into the flames, singe the poop outta one, burn your hand or tongue and duel with someone else-there is nothing like having a skewer fight and watching an opponent's mallow fall into the ashes..

;)


Hi DJ, Karen, Gini and Smokey!

[slick]

**sniff sniff** **blow blow** **cough cough**
Got nothing to say except I need another Hot Toddy please. One is never enough..... ;) :p :D

[davidpizzica]

You sharing, Smokey?

How about some hot ginger brandy for all you with sinus problems? Clears 'em right out. (Trust me)

David, last night I got the fire here so hot I couldn't get close enough to toast marshmallows. I looke silly toasting marshmallows for Marylin wearing the fire gloves! :D
Sorry, LH, I'm afraid Orc overdid it with the firewood. Next time I'll command Orc to "cool it" on the flames! I'm surprised the firemen didn't show up!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Add me to the sickies list, but I don't have a cold or anything....that I know of anyway. I just feel tired, headachy, achy bones, no naseau (whew!), just down and in the dumps I guess.

My head hurts so I don't want to think about anything. Yes, David, a fire would be wonderful. I'll just curl up on the couch with a bankie, and a hot toddy. A massage would be wonderful too, to ease these achy bones. Gosh, if I feel like this at 44, how in the world am I going to feel when I'm 74? :rolleyes: :confused: :(

As for boring PT meetings, I that is an oxymoron. I don't care if we're watching slide shows or playing bridge, somehow I just can't imagine that it would be dull and boring. :D

Ok, enough typing. I've had to correct a typo about every 3rd word on this post. I need to go home and go back to bed and shut out the world for awhile....

[lbaker]

Debbie, couldn't help thinking "Yes we'll still need you, yes we'll still love you - when you're 74" yeah, yeah... don't quit my day job :rolleyes: Good thing this couch is so big isn't it? Mario, Lady, sickie's ~ wow Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy has her work cut out today ;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks, Laurie. :D

My boss just called and he's home sick. Almost told him to come here for some comfort. ;) But that must be why I'm feeling blah, I'm just a day or two behind him. He sounded all stuffy and really bad though. Sure hope I don't get it that bad. :(

Speaking of comfort, I'm not so sick that my appetite is gone, so what kind of comfort food are we having today? Haven't had onion rings in a while.....which reminds me, where's MOFF been lately?

[Corinna]

Here Debbie have a cup of this echannacca tea it should help nip that thing in the bud . Have one later this evening to.
I brought a big pan of scrambled eggs and bacon , made some toast to. If any sickies feel like eating.
I can't stay got to do that spring thaw thing . Cleaning up the Newfy mountains.Yuck. !!!!
I left a bunch of really old and really bad horrior movies on the tv for you all. Enjoy.

[catland]

This sick thing must be catching. When I got home last night Byron was feeling sick and now I have a delightful headache. :eek:

maybe the orc can give me a neck massage?

[davidpizzica]

Catland, I'll put Orc into gentle neck massage mode for you and anyone else that needs it.

[zippy-kat]

... I need another Hot Toddy please. One is never enough..... ;) :p :D


Ménage à toddy, eh Slick? good choice!

Sorry for all the sniffly-sneezers. {{May you feel better ASAP!}} :(

I'm feeling a bit down, myself - work related junk. *sigh*
I don't like my new boss very much.
As long as I keep sending out those resumes, the perfect job is bound to come along, right?

Laurie - I sang it too! lol One of my friends played that as she exited the church on her wedding day. cute!

[Corinna]

Well the day is looking up I got a call for an interview at our local bakery (job I really want) doughnut fryer .
Can I get any of our paients a hot tea or 7-up?

[Lady's Human]

Well, corinna, if you're going to be interviewing for a donut fryer position, why not demo those skills for us! (Hot donuts....mmmmmmmm)

[lbaker]

*bangs fists on table* DONUTS DONUTS DONUTS, or - if you prefer DOUGHNUTS DOUGHNUTS DOUGHNUTS :D

[gini]

Corinna, oh, don't even think about tempting me!! (I will be right over)

My downfall is a doughnut! Any kind will do...............

I was driving home after dropping Slick off at the airport and I drove
right by a Krispie Kreme shop. It was so tempting to pull into that drive-through............but I was good.............and I am not proud of it either!

I must rather would have liked to have had a doughnut or two...........

Corinna - oh no! - glazed - chocolate covered - creme filled - jelly filled -
how could you?????? (hope you get the job).

[gini]

*bangs fists on table* DONUTS DONUTS DONUTS, or - if you prefer DOUGHNUTS DOUGHNUTS DOUGHNUTS :D

Geeze - who woke her up??? :D :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Always reminds me of an old Dunkin' Donuts (I think) commercial. "Time to make the donuts, time to make the donuts..." as the guy stubbles around half asleep. :D

Donuts and a hot toddy by the fire after a good massage.....aaaahhhh...

Good thing I'm wrapped up here by the fire, because our heat at work finally decided to give up the ghost. It's been acting geeky since November. The boss has gotten quotes on replacing the furnace but that's as far as it's gotten. So there the quotes sit in his "in box" and here I sit in a 67 degree office - and dropping! The heat hasn't gone on since I got back from lunch. If not for my little heater under my desk - brrrrrr......<shivers as she takes another sip of hot toddy> Every now and then I have to sit on my "mouse hand" to warm it up. :rolleyes:

Good luck, Corinna!

[Lady's Human]

Gini, Sorry about that, I started talking about hot fresh donuts an she woke up.

Can I get a Large hot anything? It's time to go out and shovel, and I'm going to need a little liquid refreshment when I'm done!

[Corinna]

donuts must be the cure all for any thing that ails you . Shure got some of the sickies more alive.
I'm sure I'll have no pproblems this time . I know what those little gems do to my blood sugars and I really only want one a year, and thats an old fashion plain no glaze. I know how boring but rather have lots of boring than fewer sweet things.
What is so funny is he wanted to do it today but i had 2loaves of Pizza bread ,2 loaves of dark pumpernickel, and a strawberry pie all going at the time . I had to laugh and explain why tomorrow would be better. Kizmet maybe?
Thanks guys I know I'll feel your good vibes tommorrow. Gosh I just can't tell you how I want this job.
It's like moosmom and the newspaper, by the way how did that go Donna?

[Kfamr]

Sick here again, too. My doctor gave me extra pills last time and told me to take them the first sign of any sore throat/cough/stuffyness/etc. Took one today.. they make me dizzy as heck!

It's kinda warm here so I'll take a BIG glass of ice water, slice of lemon too?

Simba is in the snoring choir again.

[Corinna]

one big glass of water with lemon right here. brought some strawbeery pie I baked today .

[lbaker]

Twenty-eight years ago, Bubba Thibodeaux, a Louisiana man from deep in the bayou, was drafted by the Army.

One his first day of boot camp, the Army issued him a toothbruch.
That afternoon, an Army dentist yanked several of his teeth.

On his second day, the Army issued him a comb.
That afternoon, an Army barber sheared his head.

On his third day, he was issued a jock strap.
The Army is still looking for Bubba..

happy Friday everyone ;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Way to get my day started with a smile, Laurie. :D

It's a be-u-tee-ful day here. One that makes it seem like maybe spring really isn't quite so far away.

I'm up for the usual coke this morning - yep, still haven't kicked the habit. :rolleyes:

I feel better today too. Had a nice relaxing evening last night and got some good sleep, so hopefully I'm keeping whatever the boss has at bay.

Hope everyone else's day is looking up too! :D

[slick]

Laurie :D :D :D

knock knock
who's there
Anita
Anita who
Anita bath

**groan***

OK, so I'm silly today. It's just that I feel so much better than a day or two ago. It's amazing what drugs and green tea can do. ;)

Debbie, the weather is the same here. Crisp and a bit frosty but not a cloud in the sky. This morning I awoke to the sound of birdies singing so I know that Spring isn't that far off......and I'm wearing shorts today. :)

You guys should come to my work. I walked into the lunchroom and the table is full...and I mean full.....of boxes of Tim Horton's donuts. Corinna, did you make a visit in the middle of the night?? ;)

Hi to everyone else. Kay, sorry you are sick. :( LH, how's the shovelling?

I'm going to start off the day with a big mug of green tea. Thank you.

[lbaker]

Who's Tim Horton? "Is he single" :p :D

[gini]

I don't know Laurie, but I bet he is sweet as can be!!

[lbaker]

*group grooooooan* :D ;)

[slick]

:D :D :D Tim Horton may be sweet, but he can't hold a candle to Mr. Hot Toddy! ;) :D Don't you have Tim Hortons in the States? It's a donut shop something like your Krispy Kreams (or however your spell that).

[gini]

It must be Friday!!! :D

[davidpizzica]

:D :D :D Tim Horton may be sweet, but he can't hold a candle to Mr. Hot Toddy! ;) :D Don't you have Tim Hortons in the States? It's a donut shop something like your Krispy Kreams (or however your spell that).
Close enough, Slick. It's Krispy Kremes and the make the sweetest and best donuts and unfortunalely for me, the most sugary donuts on earth!

[catland]

dis code must be catching. <sniffle> - I rarely get sick, but I must have caught something here at the bar and now I don't feel so good. Just waiting for the lastest round of advil with a tylenol chaser to kick in.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Mario, quit laughing at me! I can't help it that I got a bloody nose and the only way to stop it is to sit here with tissues hanging out of my nose. Good thing I have the kind of job where very few people actually see me. :o

I can't get it to stop. I've held my head back, pinched my nose and everything. Everytime I bring my head back up and unpinch/take the tissue out, it starts up again. :rolleyes:

Ok, laugh of the day, picture me with my head tilted backwards, with a tissue coming out of one nostril, trying to read and type on PT. :rolleyes: :D

Forget the hot toddy, I think this requires a pitcher of slushies! Don't forget the straw since it'd be kind of hard to drink with my head tilted back. :rolleyes: :D :p

[slick]

Debbie, that's doesn't sound good. Is this for real or just cyber?? You've got me worried here. :(

Catland, I know how you feel. Hang in there!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

It's for real, Slick, but no need to worry. It finally stopped. Kinda freaks Terry out too when it happens at home, but this happens...ooohhh...about once a month or so. I remember it happening to my mom many years ago too, so I guess it's hereditary - along with the bad heart, the arthritis, the thyroid problems, etc..... :rolleyes: ;)

Thanks for the box of tissues, Mario. You sure are a sweety when you're not being a snot. ;)

Ok, now, about that pitcher of slushies.....

[Lady's Human]

T&P, Here's your pitcher of slushies, but virtual slushies only for you. Thins out the blood, make you bleed more (Not good).

I'm off to put on the green suit this weekend, so Mario, no tormenting Lady while I'm gone.

David, did you remember to put Orc's remote back in the L+F when you were done? Mario's smiling and orc is twitching a bit........

[RedHedd]

Hmm. Hot Toddy .... Straw-Beer-y Pie (I'm afraid to ask), bloody noses, bloody mary's, donut day here in Burlingame too. Working through my lunch hour, munching on carrots .... I need something unhealthy like maybe some onion rings and slushie to wash them down!

OK back to the spreadsheet :rolleyes:

[Corinna]

Oh Slick is that where i left him sorry (i think) :D I think i did good to day but he said he had a couple people who had experance and he really needed to hire some one . But he would have to train some one so I wasn't nessaraly counted out. They work 7pm to 1am so that would be ok also.
Heres a new box or two of klenex for the crowd her. I think for safty of all lets burn the tissues and make sure the germs are killed . Her Orc empty this trash can of (YUCK) used tissuses.
I made a pork and rice dish if any one is intrested.

[davidpizzica]

David, did you remember to put Orc's remote back in the L+F when you were done? Mario's smiling and orc is twitching a bit........
A big OOPS on that one, LH! I'd better brave putting it back in the L&F. It's easy once you get by the flimsy rope bridge over the lava pit!!

[Corinna]

I think we should order out chinese to night . I think I want mooshoo pork and rice (opps sorry moosmom)
what else am I ordering? Maybe a Bruce Lee look alike will deliver.

[RedHedd]

I think we should order out chinese to night . I think I want mooshoo pork and rice (oops sorry moosmom)

[catland]

Hey - it works.

Thanks for the kind thoughts Slick - its more annoying than anything else - I really don't want to be sick over the weekend. :eek:

Corrina - you can have Bruce Lee if I can have Jet Li ;)

[lbaker]

" ~ mooshoo pork ...oops, sorry MoosMom"...

ROTFLMAO! :eek: :D :D

[Kfamr]

but this happens...ooohhh...about once a month or so.



Ack.. same here!! It really blows (haha) when it happens at work for me since I deal with customers a lot and I'm around people 24/7!

[Kfamr]

Chicken broth & Egg Noodle soup anyone? It's about all I can eat right now because of my cold. Made a big pot of it, though, so everyone's welcome to have a bowl.

A nice virgin slushie would go down nice... where's Richard?

[gini]

KayAnn, I need some of that soup right now - it sounds so good.........
I have ended up with a doozy of a cold..........must have been picnicing too hard last weekend!!
