Thursday 151....

[RICHARD]

LOL,

I think that the number 151 means only one thing!

Bacardi!


Congrats to LH for FINALLY hitting the 1,000 post mark!

DONE!

Rum and Coke as the DOTD!


I miss you all and will be back soon!!


With that in mind....I hereby declare Thursdays open!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

Well why don't I rustle up some bacon and eggs to go with that rum and coke? It will be here for everyone getting up. Now, what do aliens eat for breakfast?

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOL!

After watching some Sci Fi movies.......

Aliens eat anything they want!!! :confused: :eek: ;)

[davidpizzica]

Well why don't I rustle up some bacon and eggs to go with that rum and coke? It will be here for everyone getting up. Now, what do aliens eat for breakfast?
As RICHARD said, Karen, "anything they want to!" Let me get a fire going and I'll start sweeping. I saw pieces of stale peeps on the floor.

[smokey the elder]

How about I rustle up some French toast with Bailey's for breakfast?

[Killearn Kitties]

Is that for us or the aliens? :D Go on then, I'll join you in some French toast and Baileys.

[lbaker]

"BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH" :eek: :eek: oooOOOOOOOO :eek: My house was really weird this morning, all dogs, cats, windows, even Gurl the Snake :confused: Coffee.Bailey's.French Toast. NOW please ;)

[Killearn Kitties]

Here's your breakfast, Laurie. Whatever the Ides have in store, you will be better prepared after a good feed!

[lbaker]

ahhhh, thanks Karen - better already :p Citrus is good for what ails you so lets put some lime in that Rum & Coke ~ cuba libre anyone? Actually, it's a bit early for that, even on the East coast :rolleyes:

[Corinna]

I 'll hold off for awhile I have to drive so to work then do the story timeat the library . Atippsy story teller for st pats day may not be a good thing. Pre schoolers Will check back laater.

[slick]

Good morning everyone! Yes, I know about the Ides of March Laurie.

Richard, you know it's a tradition on our family to always have 151 proof rum in our morning coffee on Christmas Day. What the heck, Merry Christmas everyone and pass that 151 down this way. :D :D

I'm still full after that juicy burger and onion rings Gini fixed me last night. Think I'll just chill out by the fire with my morning "beverage". I'm home all day today so will check in often.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

'Morning everybody! :D

Another bright beautiful day here....if you don't mind chilly temps.

Karen, my alien eats Cheerios for breakfast every morning....which reminds me...we're down to one box so I best remember to stop on my way home!

When I was a teenager, legal drinking age was 18. I was in the bars from the time I was 16 - and Barcardi and coke was my preferred drink. Not rum and coke mind you, but Barcardi and coke. One time the bartender thought it would be fun to switch to 151 without telling me. I thought the drink tasted a little different but didn't think much of it....until I woke up the next day with THE worst headache! As I grew older and had to earn my own money to pay for drinks, I started drinking beer (WAY cheaper) and got away from the Barcardi and coke. Now I don't drink it because I normally do my drinking in the evenings and there is NO way I can drink coke that late at night and still expect to get some sleep....also can't handle the headaches the next morning like I used to be able to either....getting old sucks. :rolleyes: ;) :D

I'm on a diet, so I'll just have some fruit and yogurt for breakfast, made the way Randi made it last July at Sara's house - yum-me!

[Randi]

Good afternoon everyone! :) You can't believe what I've been drinking ..... A CAN OF VANILLA COKE!!! A very considerate PTalker sent it to me a while ago, since I never tasted it before ;) Can't get it here. It actually tastes quite good, although a little sweeter than the normal, right? I usually drink bobbly or just plain water. No alcohol in the daytime!!

Debbie, I'm glad you liked my breakfast, and it's healthy. :D In the summer, I eat that all the time. Also, Shredded Wheat is good - the ones with a raisin in the middle.

I've been to the dentist to have my last wisdom tooth pulled out today, it took 10 seconds, but the shot he gave me is only just wearing off - why didn't I think!! I was starving when I came home and couldn't chew anything. :rolleyes: Well, I had to eat a can of Heinz tomato soup - not my favourite!

Anyway, I'll soon be ready for a Bacardy and coke! :D

[lbaker]

Hi Randi! I'm about to fix a nice plate of ost og skinke, would you be able to nibble on any of that? Especially if the ost is soft perhaps ;) I love vanilla coke, it reminds me of cream soda. hmmmm, Bacardi and cream soda. What a concept!

[Randi]

Uhhmm Laurie, I think I'm ready for some ost & skinke - if the cheese is not too mature. ;) I'm also trying to make up my mind whether to take a glass of wine or a painkiller now ....

Where did you get that "ost & skinke" from?? LOL!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Uhhmm Laurie, I think I'm ready for some ost & skinke - if the cheese is not too mature. ;) I'm also trying to make up my mind whether to take a glass of wine or a painkiller now ....

Where did you get that "ost & skinke" from?? LOL!

Mmmm.....I love "mature" cheese! But what is ost & skinke? Randi, glass of wine sounds wonderful, but sometimes those painkillers are a real trip - if you know what I mean. ;) :eek: :D

I'm up for a 151 and vanilla coke - sounds yummy!

Anybody seen the Orc? Or is it...anybody seen Orc? We could use some more wood on the fire. The chill is starting to creep in here and my old bones can't take it anymore.

[lbaker]

I'm right with you with the chilled old bones! It was 86 degrees on Monday and right now it's 52 degrees and windy , possible snow flurries tonight. That's March in DC for you :rolleyes: I met this guy from Denmark at the meeting in St Louis and his username for online access was ost, his password was skinke. I looked a bit puzzled I guess and he told me was "cheese & ham" - "ost og stinke". I thought of Randi and that made me smile :cool: I'm really not much of a rum drinker (unless it's in a Pina Colada) so I'll join you with that white wine. Thanks.

[davidpizzica]

Debbie, it IS cold in here! My store-bought knee can feel it! Just let me grab Orc's remote and he'll have the fire going in no time.

[Lady's Human]

Barkeep, one hot irish coffee please, and hows about some poached salmon with dill sauce, broccoli an rice for everyone for dinner?

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh that sounds awfully good! With a nice chilled white wine please. Or a light red? Oh the difficult decisions that have to be made.

[smokey the elder]

Dang, the bar got quiet all of a sudden! Would anyone like to join me in some fresh baked pretzels? I'll have a rum'n'coke to wash mine down with.

[slick]

Sorry I have not been around much today...I tried to be. I'm starving, starving, starving. What's for dinner? I've really being trying to eat healthy but since this is cyber, bring it on. Anything greasy and artery-clogging will do. Crunching veggies is good but sometimes my teeth want to sink into huge bratwurst with all the trimmings. How about a couple of ice cold brewskies to go with it. Mmmmmmm...

[Lady's Human]

fresh baked pretzels? Did somone say fresh baked pretzels? Come on, Lady!

[Karen]

In cyberspace, neither the salmon nor the broccoli will make me sick, right? Bring it on!

[RICHARD]

Aliens, pretzels and salmon..

Only here!


Double Done!

[slick]

Double Done!
Did I just hear double???? Thanks Richard. I could use a double BM right about now. ;)

[RICHARD]

Did I just hear double???? Thanks Richard. I could use a double BM right about now. ;)


And you got it!

I raise a glass to LH and the rest of the group,

Vanilla Coke?

Sounds great...I have one can set aside- I heard that they are going to stop making it......


LH, Heavy on the Irish, Weak on the Columbian.

Salmon? DONE!
A toast?


To the greatest set of people on the planet, their pets and the their households.

Every day I see an animal, Furry, finned or scaled I am reminded of the wonderful group that I am a part of!

Cheers!

or DONE? :D

T&P,

Wood? Done!

Karen,

Of course you can feast here! It's all cyber!

[gini]

Gee, I missed the pretzels and the salmon too? What was I thinking yesterday?

I love hot pretzels with some yummy mustard and a really cold one - great for what ails you.

But it is time for breakfast - anyone up for cream of wheat with brown sugar and bananas? Or should I make oatmeal?

And the coffee - good grief - let me get a pot of strong coffee going.

[Randi]

I'm feeling a lot better today, so I'm ready for almost anything. How about a good english breakfast .... you can keep the beans though! ;)

To drink, I think a Pina Colada would go down well! :D

Weather! Don't you dare whine about the weather!! Here it's: High: 34, Low: 29!! That's Fahrenheit - and it's windy too!

[Logan]

Poor Randi!!!!! Randi, it is supposed to be 67 (F) here, today. I think you need to visit me! :)

A Bloody Mary, please, bartender. I am woefully behind at Pet Talk and at work. I'll try to check in shortly.

Logan

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'll take whatever is being served, with lots of alcohol to calm my nerves today. ;) :eek: :D

[gini]

The barkeep is probably hard at work (why does that make me laugh out loud?), so I will open a brand new bottle of 151 and pour strong drinks for everyone. That should fortify you for the morning at least.

Would anyone like to try 151 with the new coke product COKE BLAK!

Just heard about it this morning.

[Killearn Kitties]

Laughing right along with you, Gini! :p Coke Blak would be what exactly?

[gini]

Laughing rith along with you, Gini! :p Coke Blak would be what exactly?

Apparently it has coffee in it...........just what you need along with a coke...........more caffeine!

[Killearn Kitties]

Hmm, I'll maybe try a small one. Just this once!

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a sight for sore eyes! Logan! Just yesterday I was thinking of you.

In my days before counting calories and everything else....my drink was Myers Dark Rum and Pineapple juice....oh the sweet and sour of it....the yin and yan of it....the smooth and tart of it.....

Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day....

[Lady's Human]

ES, being that they would be cyber calories, why not come up to the bar and order one? I'm sure richard could do a charitable job of mixing one!

Coffee flavored coke? Blah.. I think I'll stick to straight coffee flavored coffee, thank you.

Anyway, there's fruit salad on the bar, and if anyone is here in Central New York, make sure you weight your puppers down before letting them outside. 30-50 MPH winds for the last two days, mixed in with lake effect snow. Such fun.

[Randi]

I was going to ask the same, Karen, but you beat me to it.

I can tell from your posts that I'll just HAVE to go to Dominican Republic again and get 6 more bottles of dark rum - uhmm, it's SO good!! .... And while I'm in the area, I might as well go visit Ptalkers in the US. :)

Oh, back to reality and my curry in a pot. May be back later .....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

peek a boo - I see all of you!!!! or should that be I see you all? :D

Can I get a super duper extra large cherry vanilla coke please?

Weird things going on here, well weirder than usual. My car dropped its tail pipe the other day. I took it to get fixed yesterday and it had broken it 3 places and the muffler was non-existant. Where did it go? and why? :eek:

Right when I need my car the most - it does this. I'm sure the town loved seeing me heading to the repair shop drapping my tail pipe behind me! ;)

[RedHedd]

Today at our office we have MANY loaves of Irish soda bread that our librarian made. It's still warm and served with sweet butter! YUMMMM!

Coke Blak? hmmm .... I'll pass. Straight-up coffee for me right now.

[lbaker]

Warm Irish Soda Bread :eek: I think there is a 4:30 plane to SF, let's see - 1/2 hr to your house, you should just be getting home. I'll see you on your door step. Of course I'm assuming you can smuggle some out of the office :rolleyes: :p

[RedHedd]

Warm Irish Soda Bread :eek: I think there is a 4:30 plane to SF, let's see - 1/2 hr to your house, you should just be getting home. I'll see you on your door step. Of course I'm assuming you can smuggle some out of the office :rolleyes: :p
LOL! With our hungry horde of legal beagles, I don't think it will last past noon! We're also having a St. Patrick's Day Eve party this afternoon - complete with Green Jello shots :D

[slick]

OMD....did someone say Jello Shots???? Yes please...pass a few my way. Laurie, we must get some of those made for the BBQ in July. ;)

I've never had Irish Soda bread to I'm up to trying something different. How about a cheese try to go with it along with some white wine. Now that's a lunch. :D

Sorry about your car MOFF but very glad to see you back at Thursdays. I hope you cana get that fixed right away. If not, I'll send my mechanic down there.

Coke and Coffee together!!!! Gee, maybe that's what I need to get my day kickstarted. :eek: :D

[RedHedd]

You should SEE the jello shots! The wonderful tax attorney (yes, there IS such a thing; he's a good buddy) made green Jello jiggler "shots" in the shape of shamrocks! I'm going to try and get pictures.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh gosh, it's awfully quiet in here this morning again. Do I need to do the Marine wake-up call again? Nah, we'll let them all sleep in today. Maybe the smell of fresh organic Brazillion grown-in-the-shade coffee from Trader Joes will wake them up. I see Slick left a bottle of Baileys here, so I guess I'll just add some of that to my cup too.

By the way, speaking of Coke Blak, I believe it's at Dunken Donuts now where you can get a shot of espresso in your cup of coffee for an extra "jolt"! :rolleyes: What's going to happen to today's kids when the world runs out of caffeine?

Mario, sssshhh. Come here sweety, sure I'll add some cherries to your cereal this morning.

[Karen]

What's going to happen to today's kids when the world runs out of caffeine?


Caffeine is a renewable resource, unlike oil, and other "fossil" fuels. So there! Caffeine doesn't do much for me, Swedish grandpa's genes in effect there, but I've seen its effect on others!

C'mon, folks, warm Irish Soda bread this morning, just at the right temperature so the butter'll melt on your slice ...

[slick]

**yawn**
I'm up but just barely. Not very hungry this morning so I think I'll just grab a long tall ice cold glass of milk. Mmmmmmmm

[lbaker]

Oh how I love that Irish Soda Bread, thanks! When I drink coffee I like really good coffee. Black. Unless it's with real thick cream or Slick's Baileys :rolleyes: The idea of coffee and coke together makes me a bit queezy Of course I'm not much of a coke drinker anyway. Nothing against anyone Irish but if I hear anymore Irish Jig music today I'm going to scream :eek: How about Van Morrison? That's a nice compromise ;)

[Lady's Human]

RUN OUT OF CAFFEINE?????!!!????



AAAAAARGHHHHHH



Don't DO that to me! Not a nice comment to wake up to! :D :D :D

Anyway, being that the world still has a caffeine supply (It's in Newton, trust me, more shows up every year) I'm going to have a nice cup of Sumatra coffee with some of the soda bread.

[gini]

Oh my, hot Irish soda bread with butter oozing all over it - and a cup of strong, fresh coffee..................

now that is what I call a way to start the morning out right!

Have a good Friday everyone - hi ho, it's off to work I go.................

[slick]

Pretty quiet in here. It's an OK day up here....cloudy with sunny periods or sunny with cloudy periods. Take your pick.

I'm in the mood for some comfort food like a big bowl of home made macaroni and cheese. How about it?? Oh, and I'll take a nice hot cup of green tea...in keeping with the Irish theme today.

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone! :)

[slick]

Well, it looks like I'm the only one here today. Guess I'll fix myself a nice big old Lemon Drop Martini and relax by the fire. Mario, come sit beside Auntie Slick and let me pick those cherry pits out of your hair.

[RICHARD]

MILK? someone ordering MILK?

Get the bouncer! quickly!

Gosh, we are all over the place today....

dark rums, sumatran coffee's, bailey's, cokes, green tea, cherry vanilla cokes...jello shots and coke.....caffiene? I am just beginning to discover the joys of jet fuel....ONE CUP and I go flying!!



Can I give you all a group DONE??


OHG, Should you ever meet ES's husband, ask him for the recipe for his chocolate martini....

(I have been binging on chocolate since I have one.....I just need the alcohol....)


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

Hi Orc.....Yes you can have the day off today...

Hi Lady...Boy is that nose cold....go sit with Mario by the fire.

Ho Mario.........Come here I'll make you a Shirley Temple.....No, the drink not the girl!!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

RUN OUT OF CAFFEINE?????!!!????
AAAAAARGHHHHHH
Don't DO that to me! Not a nice comment to wake up to! :D :D :D
Anyway, being that the world still has a caffeine supply (It's in Newton, trust me, more shows up every year) I'm going to have a nice cup of Sumatra coffee with some of the soda bread.

Don't do that to him again I had to pick him up off the floor! Poor Lady thought something was seriously wrong with him! LH absolutely cannot function without his caffine.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I'm in the mood for some comfort food like a big bowl of home made macaroni and cheese. How about it?? Oh, and I'll take a nice hot cup of green tea...in keeping with the Irish theme today.

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone! :)

What kind of cheese do you want in it. Will cheddar do? I could put some green food coloring to keep with St. Paddy's Day but it might not look too appetizing. :)

[slick]

So much to celebrate:

LH hits 1,000
Chauncey hits 10,000

...and

Delta is home!!!! :)

Bring on the drinks and put them on my tab!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Delta is home!!!! :)



NO WAY!!! Oh my goodness, I'm so excited! I'll just have to run over to Dog General and read all about it! Yippeee!!!! :D :D :D

[gini]

Ah my, life is good! Let's all just sit around the fire together and rejoice that Delta is home. What an amazing story. Boy, I really was starting to give up hope too considering how harsh the land is in that territory.

What Tamara has been through - and just look at that little punk now - sitting there licking his chops - no idea what he put his owners through.

And that is why we love them - no?

A round of drinks on me tonight - for sure.

[Lady's Human]

Okay, Mario, you heard her........


A round of drinks......


ON her........

3,

2,

1,


Launch away, Mario! :p

[slick]

A round of drinks on me tonight - for sure.
Ah...thanks Gini, but I prefer mine in a glass..... ;) :D

[gini]

LH AND LOH..........it sure would be wonderful if you could be at the BBQ.

Drinks ON me............you know, I really am too old to have this silly sense of humor - but I think it is the secret to a long life.

So, Slick wants a glass...........is it half full or half empty?

Mario - are you actually laughing??????

[RedHedd]

I really am too old to have this silly sense of humor - but I think it is the secret to a long life. You bet it is! Let's keep laughing and grow old together! :)

[Lady's Human]

You have to grow older, no one ever said growing up was mandatory. :D

[Kfamr]

Anyone wanna pack up a cooler full of slushies and head to the beach tomorrow!?

That's what I did today.... minus the cooler full of slushies. :(

Slick's paying? In that case.. I'll take the most expensive bottled water you have, and 3 Greenie teas for the pups.

[RICHARD]

You have to grow older, no one ever said growing up was mandatory. :D


LAUGH.

LAUGH WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING.

LAUGH UNTIL YOU CRY.

LAUGH AT YOURSELF.

LAUGH WITH OTHER PEOPLE

LAUGH AT OTHER PEOPLE. BUT DO IT WHEN THEY ARE NOT WATCHING.

LAUGH AT THE PEOPLE WHO CAUSE YOU PAIN.
THEY WON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

SMILE

SMILE AND LAUGH.

SMILE WHILE YOU LAUGH.

BE SILLY AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. MORE IF YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM IT.

----------------------------------
Now, If I could just figure out why my mind says GO! My body GOES. and I hurt for a week afterwards......

-------------------------
Mandatory adulthood? :confused:

I should say not!!! ;)

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

K,

We have had snow, sleet, hail and rain in the last few days.

I'll carry to slushies You carry the suntan oil?

Deal?

DONE!

[Kfamr]

Deal, Richard.. Just don't forget the frisbee or ball for Kiara!

[Lady's Human]

Gini,

Who cares if the glass is half full, half empty or bone dry? The bar is still open, GET A REFILL!
:D

[RICHARD]

Gini,

Who cares if the glass is half full, half empty or bone dry? The bar is still open, GET A REFILL!
:D

Done!


K,

No problem.....having sun and no heat out here is strange. :eek:

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

I was totally starving this morning and wanted some thing different for breakfast....I made hambuger helper.....

and toast.

and tea. :rolleyes:

I'll make some eggs, bacon and ham, if anyone wants some!

DONE?

[slick]

EEWWWWW, hamburger helper??? Sorry, but I just can't stomach that. I made it once and had to throw it out. Don't know what I did wrong but it was all runny and greasy.....never again I said.

It's a beautiful day here today and I really must get on the move and do housework but the slushies in here are calling my name. How about a double over here??

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I want a root beer float!!! :D

Hi, everyone!!! :D

[RICHARD]

Double for the slickster and a RBF for the moffster.



See what single life is like....

At least I didn't have boiled eggs for breakfast!

DONE? :eek:

:p

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'll take a pitcher of slushies please. Thanks! :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Double for the slickster and a RBF for the moffster.


:pThe Moffster? Sounds like I should make you an offer you can't refuse!!! hehe :D

[lbaker]

Hey Moffster! Refuse YOU?? Never :D ;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Gini promised me a slushie or three....so here I am, Gini! Bring 'em on! :D

[gini]

Ooops - no barkeep - O.K. I will make them myself.

Here ya go - Debbie - the largest pitcher I could find around here - filled to the brim with S L U S H I E S!!

Hey, slow down - don't drink them so fast!! :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Aaaaahhhh......<smacks lips, wipes mouth with sleeve - just like the cowboys used to do ;) > Boy, those were good, Gini, got anymore? :D

Mario, sweety, if you bring me an ice pack for my pounding head, I'll help pick the cherry pits out of your fur.

Yes, the head is pounding even thought the slushies haven't worn off yet. :rolleyes: ;) :D :eek:

[slick]

Holy **** Debbie. Allow me to make you another huge pitcher of slushies. Sounds like your head is spinning. How about a Lemon Drop Martini after that's done. Gini makes it best. :) ;) :p :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Slick, doesn't matter what form the alcohol is in right now, as long as it's liquid and goes down cold. ;) :D

I'm going NUTS! I can't properly talk to Terry because the boss is here, and now I realize I forgot my cell phone at home....which means I have to wait until I get home to find out details....and that's about 2 1/2 hours from now!!

I need everybody's help here. Everybody please do the "Boss GO HOME!" mantra.

You're going to help too, Mario? You're such a sweety. Ok, together now.... Ooohhhmmm.....boss go home....ooohhhmmmm....boss go home....oooohhhmmmm...

[slick]

oooohhhhmmmmmm boss go home oooohhhhmmmmmm boss you are not feeling well oooohhhhmmmmmm boss go home

can't you email Terry where he is??

[Lady's Human]

Darn, you drank all those slushies at once? and here I was hoping to get one out of that pitcher!


Oooooooomm boss go home ooooomm boss go home (and another part to the chant....oooooooooommmmmm, Amy (see dog rescue) come here.....ooooooommmmm Amy come here)

[lbaker]

I want Amy to come to Camp Glenrose and stay with us for the summer, but it looks unlikely right now unless the Mayor can pull some magic. I have another thing right now. I'll post in another thread. NO, I won't bring bad vibes into the bar. See you guys later.

[Kfamr]

I think I'm hoping for something non-existant, but does this bar serve anything that will put you to sleep and make you feel 100% times better when you wake up?


Ah.. nevermind a nice glass of water and a box of tissues will do.
I'm stuck at the moment between wanting to quit my job and being too freakin scared to move onto something I really enjoy, and hopefully working with people that will actually work. (Like applying for the Animal Hospital down the street.) :(

[Lady's Human]

Kay,

Hugs, a backrub and a drink?

We can have Lady give you some kisses and cuddle with you while you're getting your backrub as well (and make sure Mario stops throwing cherry pits)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Kay, go apply. If it's meant to be, you'll get hired. If you don't get hired, that means there's something better waiting for you. Life is all about taking chances, so go for it. Also, if for whatever reason it doesn't work out, you're still young enough (WAY young enough) to pick yourself up and either move on to something new and better, or to fall back on your current job. Seeing as you have experience, I'm sure they'd have no reservations about hiring you back if you ever wanted/needed.

Here's a toast to taking chances in life! My motto - GO FOR IT!!! :D

Oops, forgot to say sorry, LOH. I'll go make another pitcher of slushies to share. I've calmed down enough that I don't need pitchers all at once anymore. ;)

Laurie, here's a toast to Steve. I know you said he didn't have many friends, but the fact that you consider him one of your best friends says a lot about his character and the man he is. Here's to Steve, along with many many prayers. {{{hugs}}}

[Karen]

Yep, Kay, go apply at the other place. Take a chance. It won't hurt, I promise! How about a nice, soothing mug of blueberry tea? If it's hot down there (it's cold up here) you can have yours over ice, okay?

[gini]

I hope none of you mind, I put a candle in the window for Steve.

It has been a long day - just about to roll down the shades and call it a done day.

I will make a batch of slushies and then go on home.............

[slick]

I just got home myself after a long workday. I will light a candle here too and say some special prayers for Steve. Laurie must be beside herself with worry. Imagine your best friend lying in a hospital bed and you have no control over the outcome. {{{hugs}}} for Laurie and Steve's family and friends.

[slick]

**squeak....as the door opens**
Hello??? Anyone home??
Yes, I know the bar is closed but I let myself in because...well...today was such a bad day that I really need a drink and some comfort food. How could so many things go wrong in such a short time?? Oh well, no sense in complaining. Right now I need to focus on prayers for Steve and Laurie.

****places ice in glass and pours a huge double BM****

Mario and Lady, any chance you could sit down on the couch with me?? Ahhh, the fire feels good. Funny how in cyber, the fire is always lit. ;)

I miss Possum and Trevor and also Richard. I wonder how they are doing?? No Lady, this drink is not for you. Hang on while I freshen up that water bowl. That's better. Now, let me switch the big screen TV to American Idol. Until next week folks. Cheers!!!

[Corinna]

Oh hey I wondered who had the lights on. Slick how about a nice bowl of chili and a order of onion rings. If that doesn't work I have a pounder of special dark chocolate.
sure wish i could send it to Laurie hey this is cyber space Here laurie have a big old chocolte chunk.
Prayers going out to you all (still) Hey Slick i got Orc to build a fire lets sit by it on the couch.

[gini]

What the heck are you two doing rattling around in here.........eating chocolate.......sitting by the fire.........(thanks, Orc) and Slick sipping on an XL BM?

Scuse the nighty folks........I really was just on my way to bed and saw the lights on too.

Tomorrow is another day...........start fresh in the morning and it will be better.

xxoo

I'll excuse your nighty if you'll excuse my bunny slippers. NO LADY! They are just slippers :rolleyes: Allow me to futz around in the back and scramble some eggs while the coffee gets going. I have a feeling a few of us are going to need it this morning. Time to clean up for Thursday 152. That reminds me of a great drink I had in San Fran a month or so ago. A B-52 coffee. Let's see if we have the ingredients back here somewhere ~ boy are you guys in for a treat!
