52 Thursdays-- And all I got was this lousy t-shirt.....

[RICHARD]

http://www2.postcards.org/postcards/cards/0930/093013.shtml

Happy Thursday and Welcome.

First of all I want to thank all the posters, lurkers, pet owners and everyone else that has stopped in over the past 52 weeks.....I really look forward to Thursdays....Actually, it's because I know that Friday is the next day...:eek:

No drink of the day this week, it should be what you want, when you want it!!!!!



p.s. Just one thing.....Please let someone know if Mario soils the diaper......

Let the games begin!:eek: :cool: :D :)

[lbaker]

The bar is completely stocked with beer, wine, liquor and all mixers, juice, softdrinks and of course catnip tea! In honor of the day I think I'll make myself a B-52 I risked the L&F to pull out the party hats and noise makers and Mario is setting things up on the buffet table. Let's have at it...

:eek: Gosh! and here I thought it was because of us and our witty conversation!!!

I would like a cherry vanilla coke and some nachoes. The cats would like their cat nip tea on ice this week please. The ban has been lifted. No upset tummies or barf in my bag!

Mario!!! Where is your diaper? No streaking allowed young man!!!

Let's get you a fresh one!
(MOFF last seen, diaper in hand chasing a screaming Mario through the bar into the L&F):eek: :D

[trayi52]

Hi, all. How is everybody doing? Me? I was sick last week, had bronchitis, and laryngitis. Still have them, LOL, my husband thought it was nice that I couldn't talk.

I think he has changed his mind, he is now making ME go to the doctor. I am sitting here trying to figure out a way to get out of going.

A beer sounds really, and make it a cold one.

So was Mario good? I can't believe he is actually doing something useful around here. How did you get him to set that table up for you Laurie?

I think he should have a beer for being so good!

[Rio and Me]

Thursday what it Wednesday here,lol
But seems youve opened the bar i'll have a large Vodka, no ice but a slice of lemon on the side
Thanks
Ky

[RICHARD]

Thank you Laurie....

Before you start to play cards could you please make sure there are 52 in the deck?;)


MOFF
Cherry Vanilla and nachos!! Catnip tea for the boys and I do enjoy you all.....I was being diplomatic...:D

Wedge the door open....god help us if it closes and you get locked in there!:eek:

DONE!

Tray,
Glad you are feeling well....
Twos beers, ONE Mario....

DONE!

[lbaker]

I bribed him of course Tray, with beer and cherries and a promise of a very special party hat (we all know how he likes funny hats :rolleyes: ) I also told him we may have some surprise guests for him to entertain * note to self, warn guests about their keys * HEY! Someone put some change in the jukebox!!

[RICHARD]

Rio,

Vodka and lemon of the side...

Done!

Laurie,
How's about the "sounds of Silence" and we dedicate it to Tray?
;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

[catland]

Happy Thursday's to you,

Happy Thursday's to you,

Happy Thursday's all you pettalkers,

Happy Thursday's to you:D


I can't believe our little ol' Thursdays is a year old. This is the best virtual bar that I've ever had the honor of visiting (ok, so its the only virtual bar that I've ever had the honor of visiting).

Richard - the next round is on me - thanks for all your hard work in keeping this bar up and running. and thanks to all the Thursdays visitors this past year - its been much more fun than real life sometimes.;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hey, look what Mario found: (MOFF enters followed by a newly diapered Mario. besides the diaper he wears a big black top hat that falls down over his eyes! a big toothy grin is showing beneath the hat!)
Here's our original PARTY ANIMAL! He's ready for another beer and more cherries! and he's ready to DANCE!!!!
Any takers?:eek: :D

Belly up to the bar!!

[lbaker]

Richard can dance with him while you get ready! :D

[slick]

Sorry guys, unable to join you today.

Work is hell. I'll catch up tonight.

[robinh]

Well, I'm so happy I wandered in at this point. Make me something wonderful - don't care what!

No two fisted drinking for me this week - not with this darned cast. I can't type, brushing my teeth is difficult - nothing is easy anymore! I hate this stupid cast! OK I'm done whining!

I love Thursdays! Even if they do start on Wednesdays. Best day of the week. Get to come, meet a few friends and have a beverage. Makes the week worthwhile. And the sidewhow isn't bad either! You just never know what's going to happen.
:D

[Miss Meow]

Happy anniversary, everyone! :D

I love this bar. I come and drink every week, and have never paid a cent. Oops, come see me if your books don't balance ;)

My car stopped going last night, so I came in with Shane at 6.30 this morning. There should be a law against working in the dark. A drink, please!

[RICHARD]

Hokay!

I'll dress up like Ginger.........:eek:

Thanks for letting me go first, MOFF....

Slick,
I think we'll schedule an "end-of-the-weekender" party..

Robin,

WHAT cast???

Here's a slushie, tell Uncle Richard all about it...

[catland]

[trayi52]

I leave to go to the doctor, come back and Mario and Richard are dancing like Fred and Ginger, and moff is getting ready to join the dancing. Now this is what I call a great show! Mario looks so cute!

I'll take another beer, yummy it is so cold and taste sooo good.

How's about a slushie??

Don't feel bad. I blew up the engine in my truck, borrowed my mom's car and did exactly the same thing....3,400 dollars of damage!!! Damned water hoses!!

Hope it's nothing serious....

DONE!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty.....

Yeah, right!:rolleyes:

BEER!


DONE!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Well Richard, you gotta admit that dressing up like Ginger sort of goes with the "pink" feeling you had earlier. ;) :p :D

BTW, I'll take one of those slushies while you're at it. :D

[RICHARD]

I only do one drag show a year!:D


T&P,
I'm sure I'll be the last transvestite with a red mustache you'll ever see....:eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

A slushie for the lady!!

DONE!

[gini]

Hey, just popped in to see if the bar is open yet. Is it open? The whole darn place is jumping! Mario and Richard???? NOW THAT IS A PAIR!!

Look, you will see it tomorrow anyway - so let me share that my birthday just happens to fall on Thursdays #52! Exactly my age - ha I wish....

So Richard, let go of Mario for a minute and let me dance with him.

Oh, and all of the drinks are on me - have whatever you want.

I would like to request a double chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing, please - skip the candles or we would burn the place down!

Oh, and Davidp said he might stop by - let's make him feel welcome - but no dancing for him - his knee isn't up to it.

[trayi52]

Happy Birthday in advance, Gini! Heres hoping you have a great day!

Those slushies looks great! Sounds good too, I want to try one of those.

Of course we shall make David welcome!

Mario will probably want a beer when him and Richard get done dancing...Aren't they just too cute??

[RICHARD]

[zippy-kat]

I just finished a 20 pager(:eek: ) and I'm about to begin (and finish) my webportfolio... I'll take a double of everything.

Actually, I'd better have tea (1 sweet 'n low, please); I have a dr's appointment in the morning. :(

Happy Burstday to one of my favoritest pet talkers!

[slick]

I turned around and saw this.....

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid114/p98c3d4c583c33444b1cdd96b2e27e450/f8d8ef21.jpg

It seems that Chutney the cat has nuzzled her way into Mario's heart. What are we to do???

[catnapper]

Gosh, I'm so confused. I've not stepped into a Thursday post before because I coudln't figure out what on earth was going on! But since this is a special party... could someone please hold my hand on my first thurday? please?

[slick]

OK, so I'm ready to go home after a dreadful day's work and I looked back a few posts and........I'm sorry I missed it.

HAPPY PURRRRRDAY GINI!!!

Tomorrow all your drinks are free. Barkeep, better keep that in mind.

Hee Hee, you are only 4 months older than me......:eek:

[Karen]

Mario, sweetie, I'll dance with you - YOU might be nimble enough to escape without injury (unlike humans who, well, as I am a klutz, might regard it as hazardous duty!)!

After our dance, I'll treat you to a lemonade - your choice, pink or yellow!

[Miss Meow]

Confusion is the order of the day :) Start at the start, or step in whenever you like. There are always drinks, a joke or two and a discussion about something weird and wonderful.

PS Mario is a monkey who hangs out and generally does strange things :)

[Miss Meow]

Happy birthday, Gini!!!


Hope you have a wonderful, happy day!

[Corinna]

I'm glad to get here to night we had it snowing at work today. Got 8" on the going to the sun road today. luckly none stuck around here.
If you want a lousy t-shirt we have dozons of them at work. Been unpacking them since the 5th , we hope to open by the 17th. I think it will be sooner.

[catnapper]

Good... so I'm not completely lost or something. Can I just grab a non-alcoholic drink? I say some strange things while fully sober... :eek: with some alcohol in me!

[Corinna]

Welcome Catnapper !! If it makes sense themn some one hasn't had enough to drink.

[trayi52]

Catnapper, welcome! Come on over and sit down. I am just sitting here watch Mario and Karen dance! They are dancing pretty good now.

Corinna, did you say it was snowing?!

That calls for a nice Hot Buttered Rum.

[leslie flenner]

I guess I missed you all. Well here's a nice rendition of a Beatles song:http://www.rathergood.com/chicken/
and if you can't open it- tell me what to do so you can! I did a url copy and paste!

[leslie flenner]

for you all heavy metals who love kittens:http://www.rathergood.com/gaybar/
Wait just one more and I promise no more (I thought I sent this next one to richard but I must've been dreaming...

[leslie flenner]

I sent this somewhere on pet talk but can't remember which thread! Maybe one of you will recognize this kitten band! Check out the guitarist's spay/nueter belly...http://www.rathergood.com/kittens/

[captain]

BARPERSON ................. I would like a margherita ........... strawberry flavour please.

GINI,

Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!

Catnapper,
Here, hold my hand ............. :D

zippykat,
webportfolio .............. can I see it???
Double drink on me please Richard for zippy!!!

[gini]

Catnapper, welcome!!! Hey, never, ever, feel uncomfortable here.
Look, Karen jumped right in and now she is dancing with Mario.

MARIO! Quit trying to get Karen into the Lost and Found with you! What a naughty boy!

Sorry, Catnapper, I was just going to mention that this is the place where you show up and leave your troubles at the door.
Or.......bring them on in...........we have some very good listeners here.

Most of all, relax and have a good time. Everyone is very friendly here and remember all drinks are on me today. Have some of my cake.

Thanks everyone for your great birthday wishes. I just plan on raising H___ all day the 29th.

Thanks, Richard for the cake...........wow! I didn't know that you could bake too! What a guy! Anything chocolate always gets my immediate attention.

[Miss Meow]

I hope this displays - who wants cake?

http://www.kitchenwhippers.com/img0013.jpg

[trayi52]

OMG, Nicole, that cake looks so good. I have to admit it, I am a chocoholic. I admit it, I love it, can't get enough of it!! Yummy!

Yes, Mario and Karen are having a good time, he is still trying to get her into the lost and found though! I think he has fell in love with Karen.

A nice cold beer would be nice.:)

[gini]

Nicole, your cake would work - yes, I sure would eat that cake.
It is the final touch of raspberries that got me. Oh, how I love raspberries! (and chocolate)

[gini]

Mario is sooooo smart. Wouldn't you know that he would just kissy right up to our Mayor..........our founder...........our leader...........but she knows a monkey when she sees one!

Mario look out honey, you may be in over your head!

[Corinna]

Yes you read right it was snowing . We can get it through July and it can start again in Sept. I really need a green house to garden ( the only other thing besides whale watching I miss about the pacific northwest) .
Mario you tratior I'm late and you take up with the Mayor . Willie how are we going to teach him loyalty?

[trayi52]

Corinna, I just don't know how to teach him to be loyal! He's a guy. Maybe we could let Richard take him aside and talk to him about that kind of thing!

Sounds like you have snow most of the year! I was watching the weather tonight and see them talking about snow in your part of the country. It just seem funny hearing about snow at this time of year. We are have some warmer weather now, and a little bit of rain. We have started feeding the fish in our ponds. Seen some really nice catfish come up to eat.

I love this time of year best of all, the dogwood trees are in full bloom, and very beautiful.

[Corinna]

Catfish I'll be over for a fish fry.! I miss that too I have ot go to the east side to catch them here. In Washington we lived on a lake it had the best catfish. It was nice and queit at night in the canoe fishing for them. The only time (at that point) I could get away from kids alone with hubby.
I said we can get we don't always some times it just feels like it . Hubby says we have 2 seasons winter and tourist. I ask if they are in season what is the bag limit.:D I'm sooooo bad. I guess i'd better put my self to bed. nighty night all see you tomorrow evening. so don't burn down the place.

Happy Anniversary everyone!

[lbaker]

That does it! Went fishin' after work yesterday and I'm gonna rassle up some catfish nuggets for todays buffet later. Sober up Mario and help with the table. I promise to give you a foot rub after all that dancing yesterday :rolleyes: I do believe a Bloody will go down quite easily this morning. Did DavidP ever show up? Or did he just look in the door and freak :eek: * heh heh heh * Look at this place - pink feather boa scraps all over the bar and the juke box is skipping on the same song over and over... sheesh :rolleyes:

[catnapper]

Please don't mind me as I'm being shy this week and rather like a wallflower. I'm just sitting back and taking it all in.

[robinh]

Uncle Richard...I fell off a three-step stepladder and broke a bone in my wrist. Have to have a cast for 6 weeks. (whine, whine).

I'd ask Mario for the next dance, but with my lack of coordination I'd probably hurt both of us. Another slushie, please?
:o

[Corinna]

Just a quick check in before I head to work. I can't wait for opening so I can be here on Thursdays again. I will have Thursdays abd Fridays off YAHOO!!!!
No snow this morning at home who knows at work. see ya all later.

[lbaker]

A wee bit early for Richard and the WestCoaster's so I'll start up the slushie machine robinh. Catnapper? Howsa bout some freshly squoozed OJ? I'm just a bartending fool this morning, really slept well with a nice clean breeze blowing and two of the dogs and two of the cats snuggled beside me all night :cool:

[catnapper]

Not be to be difficult, but how does grapefruit juice sound? I'd love a glass of that! :) I'll come back later for a slushie... mmmm that sounds like a nice afternoon treat.

[lbaker]

We have a grapefruit orchard right out beyond the back yard. No problem-o Don't forget the party hats and noisemakers today. Not only an anniversary but the chief head party mistress herself has a birthday today!!! YEA GINI WOOOOO HOOOOOO but for now we must be vewy vewy quiet and let her sleep in You hear that Rascal and the girls???

[halliecat]

Oh no! I see I'm late....got some catching up to do....

I'll have a T & T...

Who's next on the dance floor?

[lbaker]

Hallie, dance floor is a bit sticky right now (cherry juice and beer doncha know) , wanna help swab the deck? One T & T coming up. As the barmeister would say

DONE!

[robinh]

Let me get a mop and help.

Gini - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Anybody want breakfast? I do a mean eggs benedict.

[gini]

Has anyone looked outside this morning? The west coast side of the bar is very overcast and cloudy. Rascal, Annie and Emma have had their breakfast and just look at them - they went right back to bed!

Robin, sorry to hear about that wrist..........sit down..........let us do the clean up.

Happy Anniversary everyone - one whole year and oh the fun that we have had here. I think we owe Richard a lot for keeping our glasses full and our humor fine tuned.

A bunch of birthdays today - Robin and Oodles........let me share my cake with you.

Thanks for my birthday wishes...........and now LET'S PARTY!!

[slick]

Well, I'm still at home and leaving for work soon so I thought I would check in, in case today is another day from hell. Gini, I sure do hope you have a wonderful day full of dreams come true. I look forward to meeting you in July. If I don't get a chance to check in again, Happy Anniversary Dick's Place.

Remember, don't drink and change diapers at the same time.:eek:

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Happy Birthday Gini!!!!

Wow, is this place hoppin' already!

Catnapper, welcome! The general rule is that all newbies have to provide a joke. This is a good ice breaker and really gets you in a "Thursday sort of mood." ;)

I'm not sure what I'm drinking this morning. Everything sounds so good. But I do know I'll have some of that cake. Chocolate cake with fudge frosting - yummy! :D

[dukedogsmom]

Good morning, everyone. Here's a few jokes for you. I received them in an email. They gave me a good laugh and hope they do the same for you.
What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?
The position of the dirt bag.

What do you see when the Pillsbury Dough Boy bends over?
Doughnuts.

Why is air a lot like sex?
Because it's no big deal unless you're not getting any.

What's the difference between a wife and a girlfriend?
45 pounds.

What's the difference between a husband and a boyfriend?
45 minutes.

Have a great Thursday!

[lbaker]

DDM, love 'em :D I would say my co-workers are looking at me funny again but it's Thursday and after 52 weeks of this I think they expect it now :rolleyes:

[catnapper]

A joke? How bad can it be? Or must I keep it clean?

[RICHARD]

Originally posted by catnapper

Clean, with a real dirty double entendre usually does the trick.
Good morning everyone!

I brought in some Triple chocolate chip cookies for everyone.....NOT a good match when you drink Bloody Marys....But, lets party on!!!!

Here's some change for the juke box....

Catnapper, I see you need a GF juice, DONE!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

MMM.....molasses cookies...mmmmmmmm

Ok, ok, so you brought in chocolate chip, but it made me think of molasses - molasses cookies are my favorite. Which reminds me, what's or lunch everybody? I'm starving! I found a really yummy salad dressing, Ceasar....how in the world do you spell parmisian? I can't even come close so spell checker gives me the right spelling. :rolleyes: Anyway, this dressing is caesar parmi something or other with basil and boy is it good! So I can grill up a couple of chickens and we'll have grilled chicken salad - any takers? Or, we could put the grilled chicken in a wrap and have a grilled chicken wrap, or we could have grilled chicked quesadillas....I have to go to lunch...I'll be back. :rolleyes: ;)

I'll have another slushie Richard - what's in these things anyway, they sure are good!

I think I've posted this before, but I love it so here goes again....

I think it's parmesean..

I'll start up the grill.....

what's in a slushie? Margarita mix, Tequila and lots of ice!
One slushie......DONE!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Richard could I have one of those red slushy thingies? and one of the chocolate chip cookies before Mario gets an eye on them? He would knock over his own grandmother to get to a chocolate chip cookie!:D

[gini]

Just remember


PARME - SAN

or Parmesan Cheese.


That recipe sounds so good.........I would love one any 'ol way you want to serve it.

Oh alright, so I had to go to the fridge and look at the container to see how you spell parmesan............now you know!:D

[catland]

gosh, I can't believe I'm so late getting here on such a momentous occasion. We're actually going to have a weekend with nice July-like weather in the low 80's. (~29C).

So a cold slushie sounds good bartender.

I love all the links this week. We may not be a gay bar, but we are happy.:rolleyes:

Happy birthday Gini:D :D

and welcome all the new faces - we can never have too many visitors.

I hear you on the weather. It has been so nice here in Eugene this past week. :)


Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. I have been pretty busy. I'd just like a nice cold Raspberry Ice Tea and a chicken ceasar salad. :)

[RobiLee]

Well, today I am celebrating my 40th birthday and I decided to step in and have a drink! I haven't read through the thread yet so I don't know what the drink of the day is and besides I can never follow you big bunch of goofs anyway. ;)

So whoever is bartender today:

I would like a strawberry margarita on the rocks with lime and salt!

Cheers Everyone....Robin :)

Yes, thanks Ms Gini. :) Richard's spelling got me the correct option through spell checker, but it still didn't look right, seems there should be more to it - oh well. I decided to add some spices to my chicken and put it on a bun (oh the horror of all those carbs!) so I had a spicy chicken samich instead of a salad, so there's lots of lettuce and chicken and p-a-r-m-e-s-a-n dressing for whoever wants. Thanks for lighting the grill, Richard. For some reason that is one skill that eludes me. :rolleyes:

Happy Birthday Robin!!!

And now that I know what's in those slushies, sure I'll have another!

Where'd Mario go? He's been awful quiet lately......

beer and cookies!!

DONE!

T&P,

Slushie, DONE!

Mario's is passed out unde the bar.... Karen danced him to sleep!

[RobiLee]

Hmmmm...what is in those slushies? Might have to give that a try. Oh, gini, what is your birthday drink for the day? Maybe I will join you in what you are having!

[lbaker]

Actually I think it was the foot massage I gave Mario earlier today. It seemed to put him in a trance (does for me ;) ) We'll have to remember that. Richard's Slushies gained a certain notoriety at Gini's BBQ bash last July and seem to get better with every batch. Oh what the hell, just let me set up another blender because now that my work day is just about over, I want a HUGE slushie - any color will do :D

[lbaker]

HEY! Wait a minute... Robin called us a "big bunch of goofs" :eek: I resemble that remark:p

[trayi52]

Laurie, I think we all '' resemble'' that remark!!:D

Thanks for the beer and cookies.:D

Yes, I did!....LOL...only because I am too dim-witted to keep up with the convo...hehehe....you big bunch of goofs you!

Can I have all three....beer, cookies and a slushie???? Yum, sounds fabulous! Shouldn't mix the drinks but what the heck?!

[slick]

Hi everyone! Just popping in for a minute while I eat my lunch. Can I please have a double BM?? That will do me while I go back and read everything from page 1.

A toast to all the birthday people! May you enjoy a long and healthy life. :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

C'mon Slick, tell your boss to go....... It's the Thursday anniversary and you deserve to be here, not slaving away and answering stupid questions all day.

It's not even 3:00 pm here and my boss is gone for the day - whooo hooo! Suuuurrreee I'll have another slushie - and make it a nice big one like Laurie's. :D

We're headed to Palm Desert, CA next week for vacation and I can't wait!!! This afternoon is easy and tomorrow is an easy day - and then I'm off - so I'm in the mood for a party.

Bring on the slushies!!!! :D

[lbaker]

Bring on the Lushes?? :eek: :eek: Ohhhhh slushies * nevermind * :o

[RICHARD]

Slick,
Double BM for you (BM means bloody mary :D)

T&P,

Slushie for you,

LOL, let us know how you like the Land of the Easily Amused!

DONE!

[dukedogsmom]

Lbaker, that was funny. There are a lot of lushes here today.
Robin, Happy Birthday! I'll be hitting that same age in July. Ugh. Sucks to be getting older, doesn't it? These slushes remind me of Sonic's Cherry Limeade. Those things are so good. Robin, order whatever you want for the next drink because I'm buying.

Is that the drink or are you just swearing at Mary??? ;) :eek:

[catnapper]

OK, here's my joke... I hope it'll tickle your funny bone, yet not offend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A cowboy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "What the heck," he says to himself, I really want a drink."

When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, "What's the name of your manhood?"

The cowboy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."

The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name. Mine for instance is called Nike, for the slogan 'Just Do It.' That guy down at the end of the bar calls his Snickers, because 'It really satisfies.'"

The cowboy looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of yours?"

The man looks back and says with a smile, "Timex."

The thirsty cowboy asks, "Why Timex?"

The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps
on tickin'!"

A little shaken, the cowboy turns to two fellas on his right,
who happen to be sharing a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you guys call yours?"

The first man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "Ford, because
Quality is Job One." Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford lately?"

The guy next to him then says, "I call mine Chevy... Like a Rock!" and gives a wink.

Even more shaken, the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his manhood. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name is 'Secret.' Now give me a beer."

The bartender begins to pour the cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why Secret?"

The cowboy says, because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!

[trayi52]

Catnapper, that is sooo funny!

I'll have one of those slushies too, thanks.:D

[gini]

Well now, Catnapper, that ought to get you a few points around here...............oh oh, here comes Karen, and she doesn't look like she is looking for Mario either.

Busted on our first Anniversary - well that figures!!

I am drinking Slushies - I didn't ask, I just grabbed the blender and poured myself a little tiny teeny weenie one.........or two......or three........................

dirthdays are so fush mun.................................

[catland]

lol - welcome to the club catnapper.;)

As long as we're educating you on the ways of the Thursdays, a couple of things to remember - no matter how many slushies you drink, it is never polite to toss your unmentionables into the rafters.

Also, if you see any lost and confused haz-mat employees near the lost and found - steer them towards Slick. I don't know why but I've been told not to ask.

Bartender - got any nekkid beers back there?

[dukedogsmom]

Catnapper, that was a funny joke! I'll have to remember it. What's this about the nekkid beers? Not familiar with them.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

May I present....

Naked Beer!!! Yes it's the real thing and some of the best beer I've ever had in my life! Made in New Glarus, WI with a very limited distribution area. Fortunately Terry is up that way on business now and then and brings a case home at a time - never lasts long enough though. ;)

Catnapper - good one!!! :D :D

[davidpizzica]

HI everyone! old "one knee" is here. I'll take a soft drink and a shot of bourbon for the knee lol

[trayi52]

Welcome, David! Enjoy!

Hey Debbie, I think I would love to taste one of those nekkid beers. I really like the taste of beer.

I wonder if Mario would like one too, Debbie? Is he still sleeping?

[RICHARD]

welcome davidp!

Gini is cut off.....;)

Nekkid beer for...Catland, DDM and T&P...

DONE!

A coke and shot of bourbon for david.....er,
A coke for David and a shot for the knee!!:D

Welcome David - I'm sure Richard will enjoy the male company, it gets a little estrogen heavy in here sometimes.

Will someone please help me get Gini down from the rafters?


this is funny - I first heard about it on the morning radio, definately worth sharing with this gang.

Wooooo, does Moosmom know that David is a bit of a goer? :D

He'll be dancing with Mario after that many slushies!

What a day:
- mechanic can't see my car until late next week
- Shane forgot to bring our lunch (which normally I wouldn't mind, but it's leftover pizza)
- we were half-way into work and realised we hadn't seen Tabasco all morning. I have a sneaking suspicion he's locked in the study
- can't concentrate in case Tabasco is in the study, so guess who's borrowed the car and is about to go home to check :)

Maybe I have a slushy on my return?

[slick]

OK, I'm really falling behind here......

You guys are having all kinds of fun and

.....wait a minute.....

WHOA!!!!!

Do I see another man in our midst??????? :) :) :)

All right!!! Now the parteeee can start. I'm getting awfully tired of dancing with the Hazmat guys.

Welcome David.

[luckies4me]

Dylan's taking a nap so I thought I would pop in again. Can I have a hard lemonade? :D

Where's that monkey?! I sure have missed the little dude. I haven't been in here for months now! :eek: Oh and can I have some of those cookies too?

Slushy? DONE!

Shane forgot leftover pizza??
Probably because he can't drink beer at work!!

Dave,
I have learned to keep the bar between me and the gals....:eek:


Wait,
I'll send Mario after Gini!!!

[Randi]

Hi guys! Thought I'd step in and have drink with Gini on her birthday - and on this special occasion! :D I'll have whatever she suggest, and while I'm waiting for that, give me a G & T please. ;)

I'm late because I've been a board meeting. :rolleyes:

Oh did I tell you, I bought cheddar back from England for myself and Shropshire Blue for a friend - only I forgot it someones fridge over there. I'm waiting to hear what happens when it crawls out by itself. :D :D

Ps. I'm hungry too!

[RICHARD]

We have grilled chicken cesar salad, chocolate cake and chocolate cookies!!!

Gini may suggest a Lime slushie Margarita, made with Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila or the strawberry flavor!!:D

[Randi]

YES!!

Thanks, I'm enjoying my G & T immensely. ;)

Grilled chicken sounds good, and chocolade cake too!! :) I'm not sure I'm familiar with cesar salad, but I love waldorf salad! :D

A Lime slushie Margarita, made with Jose Cuervo Gold sounds just perfect, I love that stuff! ;)

Later, I think we should open a bottle of bubbly!

[RICHARD]

[Randi]

Uhmm, this slushie thing got me going ...... to bed! Do you realize the time here is nearly 1.00 AM

Thanks for the recipe - sounds yummy! ;) By the way, as Mr. Fawlty asked, have you ever tried a Ritz salad? :D

[lbaker]

By the way David, as to your question in another thread about single PT'ers? I'm reminded of a quote from Mae West "Marrage is a great institution, but I'm just not ready to be institutionalized yet". :p Belly up to the bar mate :D This from a over 50 widow. Been there, done that ;)

[Corinna]

God what a day I need a rum and diet coke please.
I have a joke today. This blonde was walking her 2 rotties ,guy says" Great looking dogs what are there names? "Blonde says " Rolex and Timex" Guy says " unusual names for dogs " Blonde says" Duh They are watch dogs"
Ok shoot me later ,

[gini]

Hey M A R I O.............whatcha doin up here with me? It's kinda fun swinging on these rafters isn't it.
Careful of those undies - you can lose your grip if you grab one by mistake. Now who would do their laundry and leave it up here?

How much do you want to bet that Tabasco has bought that wedding dress that Catland found on E-Bay. What a nice surprise for Nicole - no lunch and all........no car...........she needs a good surprise when she gets home. But I met her and she sure isn't a size twelve. Oh well, easier to take in than let out!!

Randi, go for the strawberry slushies............Richard makes the best - I mean really the beshht slushies!

David, welcome - let me buy you that coke for your knee and that bourbon for your belly - you can't fool me!!

Estrogen? Who said estrogen? We have too much? Oh just put the extra in the L & F for crying out loud.

it's my birthday, yes, my birthday, come on Mario let's swing around some more

[Miss Meow]

Ha ha, I just got back. :)

Thankfully Tabasco hadn't been on eBay :o but is rather fond of today's Cat of the Day. He was curled up in his bed and wondering why I was home so early! I only told a cat lover why I was going home - didn't want to paint an even weirder picture of me with the non-cat lovers.

Hmmm, that slushy is oh so yum. :D

[zippy-kat]

I've had about 5 hrs of sleep between the past two days... I'm just going to crawl under the pool table and snoozzzzzze.

Cap'n, yes ma'am you can see my portfolio...only I didn't get it finished. Gimme a day or two. :)

[QueenScoopalot]

I'll have some beer please! Icy cold Bud preferably. Tired out from playing mother cat to a six pack of kittens for two days, now it's time for a real six pack. :D Kittens are in the clear, back with their mama who was hospitalized, but happy to have her baby cats back. Me too! My allergies (to cats?? suicidal thought) to whatever is pollinating out there has been depriving me of sleep. Feel like a zombie after bottle feeding the tykes for 2 days (they're 12 days old), and waking up sneezing me brains out! Arghh! I'm glad their mama took them back, and they're going back to the original foster home. At least I have the dogs to take care of "diaper duty" if you get my drift. :D That's half the battle there. Mario, I'll dance with your cute little mugface any day! Enjoy everyone, and CHEERS! :D :D :D

[slick]

Hi people. I'm feeling kinda low right now. In the past 3 weeks there has been too much work and not enough me time. Anyone want to join me in a drink??? I need to relax.

[QueenScoopalot]

Tell me about it! It's the story of my life...so many cats (and kittens) so little ME time. I forgot who I am! Can someone tell me? LOL! I'll have a drink with you anytime Slick! BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT....AAAAOOMM!

[slick]

Hi David, Hi Jan. Gee it sure is nice to have some newcomers here. Don't want to get into details but work is not going well at all. We are just too short-staffed and working my butt off is making me miserable and that's being passed on to the staff. No good at all, I know that. Enough shop talk.

:eek: :eek: OMG you are right. Gini, get down from those rafters. You'll fall and break you neck. **sigh** what are you gonna do??? As my late Daddy used to say "What's the good of a birthday if you can't have any fun??" RIP Daddy.

David, since Richard is not around (a round....get it....not a square....groan) perhaps you could whizz up a pitcher of BM's?? It's so nice that you've joined us. :)

Jan, have I ever told you how much I admire you and your rescue work???

I think I'll drink a special toast to all rescuers. You will get your reward in heaven.

[Miss Meow]

Good point, Slick. Cheers to all the rescuers!

I hope your work situation improves. It's hideous when you're bogged down with nowhere to breathe, and there's no way out. Sit down, relax and enjoy the wonderful Gini doing her rafter swinging routine :)

And a special cheer to Dan Holder in Cat General for his lifesaving efforts on a kitten today :)

[captain]

HEY - when did my Margherita's become slushies?????
WHAT THE ...?????

I am off to a Spanish restaurant tonight, so more alcohol for me please barperson. Not going out without a "head start!!!".

This time I would like somthing with a "spanish" twist ..... any idease?????

Zippy - waiting!!

Nicole - wedding dress, e-bay ........ WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!! ??

And YES, I understand about only telling a cat lover the REAL reason for going home .......... been there, done that!!!

Gini - I am too scared to look up at the rafters, 'cos aren't you wearing a dress??? :eek:

[slick]

Hi MM: Thanks for the tip on Dan Holder. I'm going there now. I've so much catching up to do.

[QueenScoopalot]

It can be so taxing, and I often feel dumped on (being an out of pocket, and a bit too well known rescuer). Grimace.....so many cats, so little time, so little $$$, but Always a sucker for a stray in need. I'll drink to it all right now! *hic* Jan P.S. YES..Hicupping non-stop now...YIKES!:rolleyes:

[trayi52]

What is Gini and Mario doing up on the rafters? Those two must have really been partying!

A BM? yeap I'll have one, and make it a double.

Here is to all the people like Jan that does rescue work! :)

[slick]

Yup, Gini is still swinging.

I think I'll just go and put a blankie on Zippie. She's sleeping so soundly under the pool table. What a sweetie she is.

Thanks for the drink David. Now a feel better. I just gotta keep telling myself "14 years to retirement". **sigh**

Jan, Kudos to you and all the others. I'll never have the strength that you have.

[lbaker]

I have some STRONG coffee going (something makes me think Gini may need some) and will start to sweep up the confetti and such. Last day of a wet rather gloomy April in the Mid-Atlantic, although today is lovely - so I think I'll sign off with a few words from Chaucer:

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne is swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour :cool:

Hooray hooray the first of May
Outside &*^%ing starts that day!

uh no, that last part wasn't Chaucer ;)

[slick]

I don't have a clue what you just said Laurie, but it sounds good.. Strong coffee coming up. I think we'd better leave Gini the way she is to sleep in. It took us awhile to get her down from the rafters last night. Boy, can that girl parteeee!!!!:D :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Geeze o man what a mess in here this morning!!! :eek:

Must have been quite the party! I see Gini finally came down and curled up with Zippy under the pool table. I'm not so sure she's going to want to be woken up anytime soon.

So if Richard is not a round, which means he's square....so does that meant that Slick is calling Richard square? Oh, oh....;)

Laurie, I've heard the First of May rhyme too. The first time I said it to Terry he was like "What?!? What are you talking about?" Talk about not being a round. ;) :rolleyes: :D :D

Slick, hows about a double BM? Hopefully that'll start your day off on the right foot and the rest of it will go much better than the last few weeks have. Is it so hectic because everyone is still getting settle in from your big move?

Happy Friday everybody!! My last day of work until May 10th! Wooo hooo!

I step out for a few minutes and all of a sudden
bawdy rhymes are the highlight of the day....

It's all Gini's fault.;)

Anyone still interested in partying?:D

[gini]

I have a serious question......................

How long does it take for Excedrin to work?:eek: :eek:

[lbaker]

Make an icepack filled with some nice strong slushie, then when the headache subsides you can drink the contents :p

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Gini, I don't think Excedrin is going to work on the sort of headache I think you're talking about. ;)

I've heard that a little "hair of the dog" works wonders though. How 'bout a slushie to ease that headache? :D

I kind of like Laurie's idea, but I think you should have a slushie in hand while the other one is on your forehead. :D

[davidpizzica]

Oh Gini, your eyes don't look so good. :eek:

I feel your pain just looking at you. I really think a slushie is in order for you right now.
Should we tell her that she bought and tried on that wedding dress???

*KICKS SLICK INDER THE TABLE*

What dress???


Excedrin???? It depends on what you have in your stomach....

I think we should do some champagne and some Mimosas......We have until sunday to party.....;)

[lbaker]

Dress? I don't know nothin' about no stupid dress ;) Is this wear, I mean where the line "don't ask, don't tell" comes in?? * snirk * mmmmmm Mimosas, I just looooove Mimosa's. Lemme run out the the orange grove and grab some oranges!

[slick]

er.....oh yeah.......I mean....what dress?? Sorry I guess I got confoozled again. :confused: ;)

I'll take a Mimosa please. Thanks and it's good to know the bar is open until Sunday. I have to work all day tomorrow.....oh joy to the world!!!

[lbaker]

Boy Slick, I sure hope you're getting some decent overtime for all this.... great googly moogly :eek:

Gini, whether you feel like it or not you should get something in your stomach, even if it's just some toast or something. Can I fix you some cinnamon toast? It's just about coming out of the oven and smells reallllllly good. MARIO!! put those noise-makers away... that was yesterday :eek: Leave poor Gini alone for awhile.

[gini]

O.K. - so what if I bought the dress and tried it on. The really big question is - is there some occasion in my future where I could wear it? Oh, I didn't accept a marriage proposal last night did I?

Oh Mario, did you propose to me?

Why are you all looking at me so funny?

Excedrin - orange juice - champagne...............oohhhhhh, I don't feel so good.

The slushies on my head feel good though!

[slick]

Don't listen to a word anyone is saying. You were a purrfect lady last night..... That headache must be from overwork.

Mario and Gini sitting near the ceiling
K-I-S-S-I-N-G........
:eek:

[gini]

You guys are mean..........just plain mean.....Mario come here honey - don't let them taunt you like that!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hee hee....I hate it when I have a night like that Gini. ;) :D

And don't worry, they're just all jealous 'cause that's a really pretty new dress you have. However.......wasn't that one of the haz-mat guys from the L & F that you were getting rather chummy with last night? ru-ro

[Randi]

This anniversary thread ought to be able to beat that!! Line up the champagne and lets party!! :D

Gini, are you awake?

[catland]

sounds like the party is still going strong. So Slick, you are retiring when you are 50? must be a nice 401k.

Poor Gini, stuck with that dress - oh,oh - watch out girls, with a wedding dress comes the most dreaded curse ever placed upon womankind,

Gini, are you awake?

Here's a glass of bubbly.....and some coins for the juke box!!!!

THAT will wake Gini up!!!!:cool:

[gini]

Yeah, I am here.....and awake!

Why - Oh Why - did I buy that dress.

I have an idea - since this is a cyber bar - and the drinks aren't real - could I have a wedding - that isn't real?

Yeah, then I could wear it and just pretend - without having to make the really big committment!

Marriage? No thanks, I already gave...................

I think the juke box needs to be turned down Richard - but you may as well pass that champagne over here. I will never learn.

[trayi52]

I think your right, this party needs to really get started! Come on where is everybody.

I need something strong to drink, and make it a double, or if you want to make it a triple.

Gini, that dress is *cough* nice. Its just that I keep seeing tattoos for some odd reason, and I haven't even started drinking.

Mario, where for heavens sakes are you?? Is Mario in lost and found again?? What the heck does Mario find so dern interesting in the lost and found anyway???

Come out, come out where ever you are..........:D

[zippy-kat]

*yawn*

Where's K'Cee? What time is it?

*turns over, mutters*
Thanks for the blanket.... zzzz

[trayi52]

Hey zippy-cat, wake up! * crawls over to zippy and flicks her nose* come on, its time to get up!

[Randi]

Gini, I'm glad you're up and about. I can sympathise with the volume of the juke box! I hate to admit it, but I have to go to bed soon - I'm too old to party like I used to. :eek:

Would you believe it, I almost forgot to feed old Pjevs in the yard! I do it weekends. I happened to stroll out in the kitchen and I heard this pityful MEOWWW!! He must have been starving, I was 3 hours late. :( I made up for it him and gave him 2 courses. :D

All this partying! :rolleyes:

[catland]

Zippy - wake up!

there, lets see if that works, if not, I'll go get the bucket of water. <hee-hee>

[slick]

OK folks, it's 3pm here on a Friday afternoon. I have soooo much work to do but I'm really not in the mood. All the bosses are still here and the weather is absolutely fabulous. Let's see, I'll take a red slushy-thingy to cool me down.

Zippy, how can you possibly sleep that long?? Randi, please stay a little longer.

Hi Willie, Richard, Catland. Let's give this parteee a jump-start.

How are you feeling Gini?? Can I please be your bridemaid??? I've never, ever been in a bridal party before.

Catland, thanks for the compliment, but I retire at 65 in 14 years :eek: Just countin' the days. What's a 401K???:confused:

[RICHARD]

gini,

Dom for you!!

DONE!

A red triple slushie for Tray!!
DONE!

I heard that if you put a sleeping person's hand in warm water....oh, never mind!!:eek:

Randi,

Pjevs got a double tonight???

Dom for you!
And if you ever make a cesar salad please let us know if you like it!!

DONE!

Slick,

pick a song......let's make a conga line!!

[catland]

'You put your right foot in...

You put your right foot out...

You put your right foot in and you shake it all about...

You do the hok.........
Mario - let go of my foot.:eek:

[trayi52]

Well catland, Mario thought you wanted him to shake your foot all around.:confused:

Thanks Richard!

[trayi52]

Oops! I forgot to say Hi to slick and catland!

HI!!! Slick and Catland, Richard, Zippy and anybody else that walks through the door!

Those rafters are starting to look like fun, that is if I wasn't afraid of hights! Maybe if I drink enough of these slushes, I will forget my fear!;)

What's the drink of the evening? Mimosas are Sunday morning anti-hangover drinks. What's on for this evening? Mario...GET THAT LAMP SHADE OFF YOUR HEAD! You can't possibly be drunk yet! I'll have a Ceasar salad too....sounds yummy! Well off to finish my scooping duties.....I'll do the Hokey-Pokey while scooping. You put the scooper in, you take the poopies out, you....never mind. :D :D :D

How's about a slushie??? red....and a cesar salad...

A slushie sounds great right about now. Thanks.

Right foot in
Right foot out......

:eek: :eek: OMG Mario's behind me....get your hand off my butt. Be good now.

[QueenScoopalot]

Thanks Richard! Light dressing for that salad though! Everyone say goodnight to the lizard....had to tuck her in for the night. Geesh iguanas don't party the way monkeys do. Mario...you'll have to show Carmen Iguana the ropes! And I'll get some tatoos and develop a beer gut so I can attend your wedding Gini!:D :eek: :D The consumption of alcoholic beverages can lead to your doing things you never meant to do huh?

[leslie flenner]

Well, I've been gone for 48 hours or so! I have no jokes to offer but did anyone like the 3 musical numbers i submitted on Wed. night? Anyway- TGIF. I'll just have beer! And look forward to a lovely weekend of, well, whatever happens, happens!! My rafter swinging days are long over! It's almost 9pm here so that means it's about 6pm on west coast... I don't get the g. whatever times... are they similar to army times?

[G.P.girl]

Who cares;) ....It's Miller Time!!.

The tunes were great...that cat IS fixed!!!

DONE!!!!

[leslie flenner]

and where is everyone? Am I up too late? It's only quarter till 12 midnight here! Thanks for responding Richard! Me and Jan were thrilled with the kitten bands- if you go ahead onto the website- it gets pretty gross and strange- Well, you might enjoy it (Madonna, etc.) Personally, I like the Paul McCartney song- no kittens included just dumb funny! Anyway, "Where's the Party" ? as the song goes... Did everyone poop out? Leave it to me to be last... I been sitting on my front porch watching my neighbors cats beat the oncoming traffic as they criss-cross. And stomping out the fire of dead leaves and branches they made in the little bit of woods we have between our house and the bar next door - everytime the wind picked up, flames came up (even thought they doused it with water at about 10pm tonight...go figure). And re: the bar next door- well that's a whole other thread for me!- but let's just say, my ex's car has been sitting there all evening. And if he has too much to drink, there's a chance he'll come over to make nicey-nice let's pretend blah blah blah. On the other hand, he may be bartending which means he's sober and will go right "home". Where ever that is now.

[trayi52]

Hey Leslie, I'm still here. Think I'll grab a beer and sit down here with you and just watch whatever. Sounds like you have quite a veiw.

I think GMT, is short for Green Mean Time, or something like that.

Anyway a beer does sound good, a nice cold beer.:)

[leslie flenner]

like army time? I mean, How can one figure out what time it is on that thing? I read older posts that are in the am and I am in the pm but it seems that they were up at 3am or 12noon- I can't tell!!!
I'm having a rolling rock and I STILL smell smoke from the leaves outside and it creeps me out! It's quite windy here (though warm-finally!)

[davidpizzica]

I'll take a vanilla pepsi and and one for Donna, too!!!

[leslie flenner]

watch the 3 musical things I posted? if not, I'm gonna torture you by sending them to you (if jan didn't already). Why do I think i'm the only one (and jan) who finds them entertaining? Maybe our lives are in short supply of real entertainment!!!

[trayi52]

Torture me, and send them, Leslie. LOL. I don't know whether Jan sent them to me yet or not. I always get a kick out of what she sends.

:)

[leslie flenner]

Not again!! so here is first and the next 2 i will send private message so as not to put everyone else through it again even though me and jan think it's the balls!:http://www.rathergood.com/chicken/

[trayi52]

OMG, I will be singing that all night long, ''She got a chicken to ride'', those beatles. That was so funny, Leslie!

We get a little too much to drink we'll be standing on the bar singing that little song.;)

[davidpizzica]

A couple of slushies in me and I'll limp to the bar and join you!! I have a pretty good tenor voice.

[trayi52]

LOL, Chicken to ride, what a strange name for a song. I think its supposed to be 'ticket to ride'.

I think I would rather have a beer, too many slushies and I will be worshiping the porclain bowl for sure.;)

[lbaker]

Bartender pour me something strong

Here's to the past
You can kiss my glass

No cover charge
I love this bar
Come as you are

On my way out to buy 3 Erik Clapton tickets for the MCI Center Concert on June 21 (son Kenny, his wife Jenny and me). Going for gold when it comes to seating, baby... it's the ONLY way to fly

[QueenScoopalot]

Top 'o' the mornin' ta ya'll! Iced coffee for me thanks. Nice and strong...the way this online relationship is going so far! Do I detect a thumpa-thumpa coming from David's direction? :D Hope that fire went out last night Leslie....nothing more un-nerving than smelling smoke nearby. Mario....wake up...coffee's ready! Danced to hard to "she got a chicken to ride" huh? Poor tired monkey, all wrapped up snug in Gini's wedding gown.:D

[Corinna]

WOW do you guys know how to celebrate. 1 year of this madness what fun it's been. I wish I could be here this weekend to help continue it, but hubbys taking me on a minivacation to Helena. He has about 1/2 hour of work this afternoon ,then hot tub at the hotel and a trip to a new carousil I haven't been to yet. I have the digi cam so I can share pictures.
Happy 1 year Dicks place. fun for all! I'll try and get in on sunday eve when we get back. :D

[QueenScoopalot]

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent
Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing
on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a
weapon. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[slick]

Good morning everyone! 7:25am here on the West Coast and I'm just off to work. Glad to ses everyone is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

I think I'll take a Spanish Coffee to go. Catch ya on the flip side.

[Randi]

Yeah, Gini is awake and in good spirit - I have proof! :D

Richard, I'll let you know whether I like cesar salad the moment I taste it. ;( I'm sure I will! I'll eat anything apart from beetroot and a traditional danish dish called "Øllebrød" - you'll undestand once you see it. I tried to find a picture, but no wonder I couldn't! It's made from rye bread, water, sweet dark beer and lemon I think. Old people in hospitals are crazy about it and tend to pour cream on it. ..... I don't have a statistic whether they survive.

Slick, thanks for reminding me of a great song, it gives me the shivers - the Bar where I met John in the "old days" used to always play it before closing time. ;) It fits perfectly here, so I'll put a dime .... or whatever it takes, in the jukebox - please sing along very loud everybody! :D

"Stay" by Jackson Browne

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play -- just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song--

..... what do we drink to that. :confused:

[lbaker]

Those were his roadies he was singing about.. so, is there a drink that has anything to do with the word "roadies" in it :confused: Will have to go to Epicurious and look under "weird drinks" :rolleyes: I've been singing (in my mind of course, don't want to break glass) Joni Mitchell songs all morning.. ahhh beautiful here - sunny and in the 70's OH, FORGOT TO TELL YOU! The teenage stepkids just bought a trampoline and set it up in my back yard. Guess what, I'm not in my 20's anymore :( jumped around last night and today I'm hurting. But it's a good hurt I guess, at least I tried :rolleyes: I used to be very gymnastically excellent.. but that was then, this is now...

[trayi52]

Lauri, why didn't you get pictures!!?? That would have been a hoot!

I am thinking, beer goes with anything, so thats what I'll have. A cold one and keep them coming.

So Gini, are you feeling better? Where did Mario go?

Is he somewhere drinking a beer? He seems to love beer.

Hello everybody!!! Hope you are all having a good day!

[G.P.girl]

I want a trampoline!!!! *whines* mommmy can we puleeeeez get one? <sigh> oh well....
i just got back from helping the old lady next door plant some flowers in her garden. i feel kinda bad because i used to be sorta scared of her, but she's really just a nice old lady *ashamed* anyway, her son(or something)has a westie that stays with her sometimes, her name is bernadette. but she barks alot.
lol can i have a pepsi please? i brought some chocolate chip cookies if anyones interested.

lol i gotta love the chicken song! haha it's great

[davidpizzica]

Could I have two slushies? One for the knee and one for ME!

[slick]

Hi David: I'm not good at bartending but I'll do my best to make a pitcher of slushies.

How's the knee feeling??

[QueenScoopalot]

And pepsi for the underage crowd! Gorgeous day here in my little corner of the world. Planted some different types of lettuce and parsley for Carmen Iguana. My poor garden out back has been demolished by one 75lb. four legged wrecking crew named Spencer. *sigh* it's veggies in containers this summer. Can't wait for the tomato plants.....and cukes. Tasting fresh summer sun warmed vegetables straight off the vine! Oh...and my favorite, sugar snap peas! I can plant them today....going out to plant...later! Have a beer on me Mario..one for you too Willie. :cool: :cool: :cool:

[trayi52]

Thanks Jan. When those sugar snap peas come in, you are going to have to share. I love them raw, they are soooo good!

Where do you find the time to plant a garden anyway? Tomatoes, I love tomatoes, and canning tomato juice, yummy! I canned around 40 quarts of tomato juice one year. It is just the best.

[G.P.girl]

i'm allergic to raw fruits and vegetables sometimes

[gini]

I just had to drop by for a minute.....to say Hi and watch Laurie on her trampoline. Are the haz mat guys also paramedics?

I hope so!!

Yes, my eyes are focusing much better now and finally the excedrin did their trick. Would someone remind me next year that I am getting too old to be quite so stupid?

Although later I hear that my friends ganged up on me and made sure that I had a bottomless apple martini...........I wondered what happened!

It has to be that darn Slick and Laurie and yeah, you too Randi, sitting over there looking so innocent. And Willie...........you were up to some "monkey business" too weren't you? I thought that Mario was just a little too frisky.

Gotta go, my nine year old niece is with me today - and since she and her family are moving to Boston in a couple of months, each minute with her is precious to me. Of course, at nine she is glued to the Disney channel while I wait on her!!

[trayi52]

Whatd I do, whatd I do, I don't remember!!

Beer, beer, I say beer!!

How's the knee feeling?? Not too good! It's so stiff and sore that any way I move it, there's pain. I'm getting closer to knee replacement.

[QueenScoopalot]

HEY where's the bartender? (I almost typed bratender) geesh....not even drinking yet! Dyslexic fingers I guess. :rolleyes: Doesn't sound like any fun getting a knee replaced David. But it sure beats being in chronic pain! BTW what are slushies? They sound good...:)

[Randi]

I'm just popping in to say goodnight - sleep tight! :) Here it's night.

But I have every reason to look innocent, I'm really behaving today! ;) I was down feeding Pjevs again and do you know what I saw!!! :eek: That other cat, Ib, was out again, I had to guard Pjevs' foodbowl and reassure him nothing bad happened - he kept running back and forth to be cuddled and to eat his dinner. Oh, I love him!! :)

Still, all is now in good order, so lets sing it again ....

People stay just a little bit longer

And the union don't mind

Slushies are GOOD, they almost make forget about my stupid knee!! lol;)

[leslie flenner]

jan, you really should post a photo and story about Spencer Wrecker sometime! Why are you bothering to plant anything? Did you buy steel mesh fencing for the garden????!!! He'll eat THAT too! You didn't mention growing catnip this year? Is that a no-go?
PS - do you have Clinton St. kittens? I know I keep asking you and they are haunting me....

[QueenScoopalot]

http://img42.photobucket.com/albums/v128/QueenScoopalot/SpencerPuppy.jpg Innocent unless proven guilty in a court of dogs.....

[leslie flenner]

What a good (bad) boy!! For those who can't tell from the photo- Spencer has one blue eye and one brown eye! He was supposed to be a foster but ended up being a keeper! He's good to all the cats, turtles, (and the Iguana?- I dunno about that one!). Anyway, his poor mother was just reproducing repeatedly and now- right jan? It's stopped- right jan? Remind me- the mother is spayed now, right? The owners supposedly had no money to spay the mother dog....

[RICHARD]

90-100 degrees for the last three days....

Glad to see everyone had a great time ....THank you everyone that made the party a PARTY!!;) :)
