THURSDAY 79#- I'm at a loss!!

[RICHARD]

Does anyone have a '79' theme for the bar today??

I hate when this happens!!!!!

I try and try and there is no corresponding story for the week number!!

I do have the DOTD!

Swiss Lemonade

1 oz. Absolut Citron, Sour mix, Splash each: Cranberry Juice & 7-up

Shake Citron & Sour mix with ice, Pour into a Highball glass, Add splash of Cranberry juice & 7-up
---------------------------------------


Hi Mario!!!!

[Logan]

No more mini bottles in SC, Richard! The measure passed, as expected. :) I don't have any ideas, but of course, some of us would think that the DOTD should be Champagne, but I know we're in the minority!

Maybe the theme should be, "Thank Goodness it is over"! :D

[RedHedd]

How about Pepto Bismol as my stomach is churning and I feel like throwing up!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Is a person who voted for BUSH still welcome here or should I crawl back into the wood work and stay there?

[dukedogsmom]

I would love a glass of champagne, though certainly not to celebrate. Let's see what Mario can do to cheer us up today. Maybe he would like to go with me and Duke on my road trip to Ohio? Would he handle being in the back seat? Duke rides shotgun.

[DJFyrewolf36]

How about another one of my concoctions:

Strawberry Daquri mix
Vodka (The citrus kind)
Dry Vermouth
Canadian Mist
Brandy
Ice

Throw unspecified ammounts in blender and blend
Serve frozen
Pass out :D

I'm STILL trying to recover from my holoween party lol

Its ok to be here no matter who you voted for. The election is over, so lets be friends again!

[K9soul]

How about theme, "Land of Confusion." or have you used that before :p. Not that it wouldn't be apt to use more than once.

A simple glass of good Chardonnay would be nice..

I think I can speak for EVERYONE, Connie, that ALL are welcome right here!!!! :)

[RICHARD]

I just looked at the thread title and I want to say that I didn't mean that as any political statement....

As a matter of fact if you had campaigned within 100 feet of the front door or Thursdays you would have been made to come in and fed shots of Jack Daniels.....Until you cried OR told your most embarrassing life story!!!!

Yes, I'm glad it's over.

Remember,
No gloating. No teasing and No throwing up.......Pink vomit isn't fun;)


SOOOOOO....

Logan,
BIG BOTTLE, Champagne!!

Done!


Red,

Pepto Shooter, DONE!

MOFF,

Like the lady in Poltergeist said....."ALL WELCOME HERE".


DDM,

Champagne? DONE!!!!

I don't know how Mario does in a moving vehicle.......

Would Duke share the co-pilot seat?
:)

I don't think we ever stopped being friends!!!!

Your Concoction is noted, Name please???

K9,


There’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

One of my favorite songs...:) .

Chardonnay?

DONE!!!!

[zippy-kat]

79?

1979... a Smashing Pumpkins song!

[K9soul]

I really like that song too. I enjoy a lot of Genesis (the band) music and lyrics.

Thanks for the glass, I better only sip till I'm done with work :D

Smartass......

You got the number and the name right on....

I am sure there was alot of "pumpkin smashing" in the last couple of days.:D

Name your poison!!!:D

[jazzzytina]

Whew! I'd like a nice Bacardi & coke w/a twist. :)

[trayi52]

I would like a DOTD, and Mario wants a beer as usual. Though I would love to try some of that Champagne later. I have never drank it before, might as well taste it now.

Think I've had all the coffee I want for the day!

I'm just not sure how Mario would act in a car, he would probabley want to sit on your shoulder and do your hair for you!

Make that 151 rum for me .... as I REALLY want to forget this one :p

or perhaps some Tequila shooters?

and I don't even drink anymore :rolleyes:

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I think that Swiss Lemonade sounds wonderful! Now if I was just on a Swiss Alp while I was sipping it, life would be good. :D

MOFF, one of the unwritten rules of this bar is that we are all friends here. Leave the politics, religion and attitudes at the door. Otherwise we'll have to get security on you and we haven't seen them since they went looking in the L & F for something quite awhile back. ;)

Why thank you Mario. Yes, that cherry will go quite well on top of my drink. What a sweetie you are. :D Oh wait, wait! No, I don't want it in my hair, I thought you meant it for my drink. Eeewww...now my hair is all sticky again. What is with me, this bar and sticky hair? :confused:

[K9soul]

Well, I got Genesis stuck in my head now. Of course when you put lyrics there, I heard the song in my head, then I had to put on Genesis and listen to it. :p.

Here's another of my favorites..

Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

I could leave but I won't go
Though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
---

Look at that.. the wine glass is empty already ;)

[CathyBogart]

*pulls out a bottle fo Midori and some leftover Samhain candy*

I dunno about anyone else here, but I could use some chocolate and a girly drink. *Offers shots of Midori all around*

[lbaker]

No politics, no religion - or no bar visits at Thursdays
No shoes are OK though..... I can just imagine what Val's hair would look like after driving to Ohio with Mario on her shoulder "fixing" her 'do' :rolleyes: Hey DDM, did I hear you say something about stopping in Maryland on your way? When? I think I'll just have a nice glass of dry white wine. Anyone for a game of pool? Rack 'em up!

[Maresche]

Can I just have a tall cold glass of milk? I'm not allowed alcohol with baby on board.....

[RICHARD]

B and C for you...........I'll have to find you a Chubby Checker...;)

Tray,
DOTD for you and a beer for the MAN!!!


DONE!

Redd,
151, DONE!!!

T&P,

Thanks!!

DOTD for you and maybe a field trip to Switzerland next week?

DONE!

David....

What's your drink?? Marios on a road trip today!!

K9,
Ah, that was a BAND!!

Refill? DONE!


WC,

Thanks for sharing the bartending duties!!!


Hi Laurie.....

White Vino!!!
I don't know about playing pool with you.....Are you hustling me?

Done!

Mare,

MILK!!!!! I'm lactose intolerant.......But since kids are involved...

DONE!!!
:D

[dukedogsmom]

lbaker, plans got changed so I'm not coming to MD at all :( I AM, however, rescuing a kitty while I'm up there in Ohio. It's Doogie(moosmom's) I'm so happy I could ease her mind and take one of her kitties. I'm hoping Duke will adjust ok. I'm getting so excited! I leave this Saturday. I would love my hair done! Can Mario give me tiny braids and some beads?

[snappy]

DDM- I have had the tiny braids and beads....I hope your hair is strong! If not - when you take them out you will end up with much shorter hair! I had a friend who that happened to....my hair was OK - just really BIG!

Champagne please? I nice large bottle so I can forget the past few weeks? (not just politics.....life in general)

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, I'll have a DOTD, please. I'll go to the Alps, too!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yes!!! I'm going to Switzerland, I'm going to Switzerland! Yippee!!!

go here (http://usa.myswitzerland.com/en/products/USP/panos/pano_intro.cfm) to see Switzerland from the Alps today. It's a be-uti-ful day there. Perfect for alp top viewing! Once you're at the site and can see the view, click on Schilthorn or San Salvatore to the right to see more views.

And if Mario's on a road trip, who put this cherry in my hair? :confused:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Originally posted by david p

I tend to take things the wrong way when I feel like this. I'm giving myself a time out for a bit. I need an afternoon under the electric blanket with some cats and a good book! and / or a nap!

Can I get a cherry vanilla coke to go? Did Mario leave any cherries?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Here Connie, let me get you all tucked in here by the fire where it's nice and toasty. I'll even see if I can find some of that wonderful applewood. However, I'm going to give you a nice hot chocolate to warm your bones instead of a cold coke, k?

There you go now, I'll send some of the resident kitties over as little heaters for you. You know how they like to snooze by the fire on such blustery yucky days.

Yum! Anything with Midori is good with me! I'll take one of those shots! :D

Gosh, I got to the polls after work about 7:15pm and there were still lines! I waited for about 45 minutes and finally was able to cast my vote!

Just glad that it's over, eh?

[Corinna]

Hey MOFF I have some onion rings and we can slink off to eat them I 'm a Bush person too.
Richard could you add a diet cherrycola too.
Hey Slick time to knock off work and join us (2nd computer calling):D

DONE!!!!


I haven't thought of a name :confused: it does warm you up...even though its icy. I'll leave the honors to you Richard!

Brrrr, think I might get a coffee. Its snowing right now :eek:

Slight chance of snow my foot...:p

Remus had great fun watching me leave at lunch. He had this look of "Hahaha, glad you aint me!"

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yeah Slick! Tell that 3rd world guy....or 3rd wheel guy...or 3rd shift guy...or 3rd whatever kinda guy he is to quit looking over your shoulder so you can check in!

I'll take another DOTD please.

Anybody here ever use Dreamweaver software? Just curious because I'm downloading a trial version right now. Hopefully I can get my boss to pop for the full version after 30 days.

Corinna, come back here with those onion rings! Mmmm....onion rings...and they're the nice big fat ones....mmmmm.....any spicy dipping sauce for them around?

[RICHARD]

DJ,

Cafe for you! and draw the blinds before you leave!!;)

Corrina,

Diet cc and onion rings.
DONE!

MOFF

CVC, DONE!

David,

DOTD, Done!!!

Snappy,

Champagne for you!\

DONE!

[Corinna]

Hey who ate all the rings !!! We need some more, Slick would better bring some more. Hope the new installation is going well.

[dukedogsmom]

Hey, what is Midori?? I've never heard of it.

[DJFyrewolf36]

DDM Midori is a melon liquer...its green! Pretty tasty, but deadly too. Approach with caution

Anyone come up with a name for my drink yet? Im going to submit it to a drink site :D and I need a name!!

[trayi52]

Val, I have never heard of Midori either!?

I'll take a beer and one for dear sweet Mario. I gave in and drank some more coffee. Stayed up too late last night or should I say this morning. Should have just went to bed.

Corinna, Moff, where are you, and those onion rings?:)

[dukedogsmom]

That Midori sounds delicious! I love melons. I had an apple drink like that one time. Drank half a bottle. I won't go into what happened after that.

[KYS]

Swiss lemonade sounds wonderfull,
I am rather thirsty tonight and if I am
not being selfish can I have a strawberry margarita
too?

I'll bring chips and Guac. dip to go along with
the Onion rings! :)

[gini]

How about calling the DOTD THE HAPPY CANADIAN?

Or is that what we call Slick?

Boy is it ever refreshing to come in here..........no one is mentioning the "B" word, or the "K" word, or the "D's" or the "R's.

I really don't think I could take it if we had presidential elections more often!

Richard NO! I am not going to practice yodeling for next weeks trip!

I would like two Happy Canadians - one for now and one for later.
(Slick, leave it alone!)

[slick]

Eh???? ROFLMAO!!!! :D :D :D Oh God I'm laughing so hard I'm choking!!!! Gini, you really "crack" me up!!! :D :D :D

Edit: Good morning everyone. It's really too early to go banging around so I'm just going to help myself to a Spanish Coffee, stoke up the fire, then "cop a squat" as Laurie would say. Work is so busy and have no time during the day to come to the bar so I had to set my alarm and get up early just to join you. :rolleyes:

Edit again: Did you guys know that our outstanding bartender has a birthday in two days??? Sorry Richard, just had to blab.:)

[DJFyrewolf36]

I need a gallon of coffee this morning...

*Yawn* Im going home after work and going to sleep lol

[trayi52]

DJ, I could use some of that coffee too! I'm still sleepy, even if I did sleep all night, I still feel like I could sleep some more.

DJ, I see you aren't wearing your cat on your leg today!;) LOL, I can still see that picture in my mind, and still laughing about that!:D

Willie:)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Oh no, Remus did his leg attack rutine today. He nearly got squished because he darted in front of me without warning! Stupid cat...keeps me on my toes though!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Originally posted by slick

Ummmm.....don't think I even want to go there! ;)

Giinniiiii<whining> why won't you yodel with me? Huh? Yodeling is fun, especially in the Alps. :D

And of course I have a story about yodeling. One time when I was probably like 10 or 12 years old or so, I was just goofing around and sang out "little old lad-y who" in a yodeling tone of voice. My mom turned to me and said "Don't call me and old lady!" in a scolding tone of voice. I just cracked up and she couldn't figure out what was so funny. :rolleyes: ;) :D :p :D

I'll have a Spanish Coffee to start the day too.

Hey, has anybody checked on MOFF? I tucked her in on the couch by the fire yesterday and haven't heard from her since! It's kind of a cold damp icky day here today so she might not be feeling that great yet....better go stoke up the fire for her.

[lbaker]

One of my dogs yodel... maybe you could harmonize. She - Collar[flower] - makes a little oooooo mouth then yodels her little heart out. I love it. MOFF? Oh MOOOOOFFFFFF?
*oh dear, you don't suppose she sleepwalked into the L&F do you* :eek: I was going to make some creamed chipped beef on Patty Shells for breakfast. Makes your tummy go MMMMMMM on a cold rainy day. And boy, is it ever cold, wet and nasty this morning. YUK.

[gini]

Debbie - you really just don't want to hear me yodel!

Laurie, that stuff you are cooking...........there is another name for it where I come from!:D :D

Yes, let's keep an eye on MOFF today to be sure she is warm enough........except......where is she?

[Corinna]

Good morning all!! I finally have caught up on my rest . Hey I think I ate too many rings I feel a little gross. I almost have all my correspondacnce caught up . Just 2 more one to a very sick freind(dying of multiple cancers) and one to my new pen pal. How about a cup of cocoa today.

[catland]

Good morning everyone. I have the week off which is why I haven't been around much. But it is Thursday so I wanted to stop by.

I'd like a nekkid beer and a toast to the fact that at least there is no recount this year. Also, I'm so very glad that the "get out the vote" phone calls have stopped. :eek:

In keeping with the surreal when it comes to voting - here in the vote by mail state my husband and I got out our ballots on Monday and voted while old time Star Trek was on the Sci-Fi channel.

Turns out we cancelled each other out for our presidental votes - just like we did in 2000;)

[Logan]

Connie must be so warm underneath her electric blanket and kitties that she isn't quite ready to move yet! I don't blame her one bit! It is chilly (nothing like some of you are experiencing) and rainy in SC today. I would like to be snuggled in my bed, surrounded by my furry kids too!! :)

Wake up, Connie! Hot chocolate or tea, whatever is your pleasure, is waiting for you!! :)

[lbaker]

Gini, we call it that other thing too but when serving in puffed pastry instead of on a "shingle" it just seems too refined to call it by the "other thing" :o Hi Logan *waves* extra rich hot chocolate coming up for you and Connie - marshmallows optional (assuming Mario left any behind from last week). Anyone else?

[davidpizzica]

Did someone mention HOT COCOA??? Would you believe I tried working outside in the rain, trying to clean up leaves on the golf course?!?! I feel like a frozen Davidpsicle!

[RICHARD]

A bottle of Midori for the taste testers!
DONE!

DDM,

How did you like THEM apples????;)

KYS,

A straw margie!!!

You can set the chip platter on the pool table! The spills aren't as obvious!:D

Gini,
Two happy Canucks.....

We'll just dress you up as a Swiss Miss and make you eat chocolate!

DONE!


Slick,
I'm ignoring you........And I thought 'dropping boys in the pool' was bad.:eek:


DJ and Tray....
Two gallons of coffee!!! Doesn't anyone eat donuts around here?

DONE!:D


T&P,

Cafe Espanol for you!
DONE!

Laurie.
I just had a biscuit and gravy.......I left room for the SOS......Gini is to polite to say SOS.

Corinna,

Cocoa for you.......Marshmallows????

I think Mario left THESE alone.


CATLAND!!!

LOLOLOLOL, Last week I was running around the radio dial (IS it still a dial when you have a display???) and a caller called into a talk show. The host asked for help in pronouncing the name of the town she lived in......Yep, it was YOUR home town!!!!!

I LMAO!!!

Nekkdi beer?
DONE!

Hi Logan.....

What a crappy game last night......:confused: Looks like we are in for a so-so year.....

Can I get you something?:)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'M BAAAAAAACK!

All the TLC from you all plus an afternoon under the electirc blanket and cats, helped a lot. I even went to bed at 8 last night and the cats had mercy on me and let me sleep until 5 am!

I celebrated by going to the grocery store this morning and getting locked in when the power went off. It finally came back on (well, DUH! HERE I AM).

I'm fixing home made veggie soup for lunch. Any takers?

Can I get 4 catnip teas for my fuzzy bed warmers? and a cherry ginger ale for me?

Did Mario be good while I was out? Somehow, I doubt it! ;)

[K9soul]

You know what sounds good today.. a mug of good coffee with some Bailey's :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Mmmmmmmm......homemade vegetable soup! Yummy! I make a creamy version and add cheese (since I'm from Wisconsin you know, eh?) ;)

Glad you're feeling better MOFF. Lauries SOS in a refined pastry sound yummy also. Hmm...yep, according to the clock on my computer it's 12:09 which must be why I'm so hungry!

Here, David, I'll put another log on the fire so you can thaw out a bit. Then I'm off to lunch! Now I have to find somebody who serves a good bowl of soup......

[gini]

I would love to have those vegetable soup recipes..............

I have a meeting here next Tuesday......at 6 M - since it is chilly here and soon to be raining again........the soup might just hit the spot for everyone.

MOFF - there isn't anything like a pile of kitties and an electric blanket. Glad you got out of the grocery store alright.

Aw, Richard, I am NOT too polite, it just is that I would rather not be thrown off the board for calling a spade a spade!

SOS or SOpastry shell.......same thing to me!

[Logan]

I want the recipe for the creamy version, Debbie, if you don't mind! I like cheese, as does my family, and I love vegetable soup. Is there a recipe you can share by email or PM, or even right here??

Logan

[momoffuzzyfaces]

You have met one now!!! But maybe never again!!! Send the recipes, please!!!! :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

My veggie soup is just a throw in what you have, type of recipe.
I just use a can or two of chicken broth, a bag of frozen mixed veggies (or several cans of mixed veggies - not drained), a can or two of tomato sauce, any other veggies like potatoes and onions that you want to toss in. Add water to cover the veggies and cook until veggies are tender. I toss in 3 or 4 slices of cheese and let it melt before serving.

Today's soup has baby carrots, a bag of frozen mixed veggies, one can chicken broth, a can of potatoes - not drained, and a can of tomato sauce and a can of water. Then 3 slices of American cheese tossed in after that cooked. It's really easy and you can make it as thick or soupy as you want!

It's a great way to use any left over veggies or ones who are aging fast!
:D

[lbaker]

I do a similar thing but simply call it "refrigerator soup". It's usually made the day before a big grocery store trip in order to make room for new food :rolleyes: Add a touch of this and a splash of that and don't even TRY to write down a recipe ;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I do similar to MOFF except I make a white sauce and add it to thicken the soup and make it creamy. I do have a recipe at home...somewhere....I think....I'll look tonight when I get home and post it if/when I find it. My mom - who gave me the recipe - uses fresh veggies like cauliflower & broccoli but I just use the frozen. So much simpler and just as good.

Couldn't find any soup for lunch so I had a salad. Blech - salads are no good on cold damp days.

I think I'll take a nice steamy cup of hot tea to warm my innards after that. ;)

[RICHARD]

David,
Hot cocoa!!

DONE!

Hi MOFF,

I'll take a bowl.....yummy!!!

K9...

Cafe and Bailey's!!!
Slick makes great homemade Bailey's!!

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

I love this soup.

It's fast and easy.....You just have to chop some veggies.

1 bag of split peas.
Three stalks of celery
Two potatoes.
Three carrots
1 large onion.
1 cup Ham or 1/2 cup chopped bacon

Prepare the peas
Overnight soaking or place the peas in water, heat to boil and turn the pot off.

Chop all the veggies. Add to the peas.

Add the ham or bacon and cook for about 1.5 hours.

Grab some bread and eat.

You can puree or strain the soup before you eat.

Your soup sounds great too! I'm going to try it soon!
:D

[lbaker]

Richard, that sounds similar to my Navy bean soup but I use chunks of sausage instead of ham. I make split pea soup too, great way to use up leftover ham and I always have some dried beans or peas in the cupboard. Wow, now I'm ready to go home and start some soup for dinner with some sourdough bread!! Enough of the food already, let's have another round... Is everybody having a rainy, dank day? I heard it's even raining in parts of California.

[DJFyrewolf36]

All this food talk is making me hungry! Think I'll go have some soup too! It is kind of cold out today.

Sigh, don't you hate it when a song comes on the radio that reminds you of a person you would rather forget?

Baileys, with a hint of coffee please...and maybe something to take the spaz out of my cat lol!!

[lbaker]

hmmmm, catnip tea would either spaz him out more or put him to sleep, it's a toss up........

[RedHedd]

thought I'd stop in before going to lunch ... and now I want soup too! :rolleyes: :)

[RICHARD]

Another round.

DONE!


DJ,
Bailey's splash of coffee!
Let me find some Spaz remover!!:confused:




The most satifying sound to a cook is the sound of a spoon scraping up the last drops of soup they made.
:D

[Corinna]

Its so funny I was just making split pea soup to have with the wonderful sourdough bread that Richard sent me. Need a good warm up as it only reached 34 degrees to day. we had a great 22 last night. Guess it is winter now here.

[slick]

OK, just dropping in for a quite minute and grabbing an ice water to go.

I'm headed back to work. Catch up with you all tonight when I get home.

Hey, JC welcome to the bar. You might want to watch out for Mario, he likes to fling cherries. Oh, and be mindful of Remus. He might trip you!

The rules are as such..

Rule one,

The outside world stays outside!

Two, you owe the bar 1 clean joke!

Three, there are no more rules.


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

Scooby snack for you!!

DONE!


P.s. HOW DO YOU milk a coconut???:confused:

[DJFyrewolf36]

Richard

Milking a coconut requires patence and a good pickup line!

[heinz57_79]

Good pickup line??? :eek: you lucked out! I had to buy mine dinner!

A "clean" joke, eh? OK....
What do you call death with a broom?

LOLOLOL,

When Slick came down for the BBQ we went to have a drink at her hotel.......

They run a public service commercial on the radio and the premise is a game show where you have to use your best pickup line.....

ready??

You must be a parking ticket because you have FINE written all over you!!!!

That was the start of some Maniacal Laughter. Soon after the bartender came over and told us the bar was closed...


"I close bar...." I embellish the story by quoting his line this way,

"You go, I close bar....." Like to Soup Nazi, but with liquor!!


It was Gini and Slick's fault.....I was behaving.:rolleyes:

Heinz....

Congratulations, You application has been approved!!!!

[lbaker]

OK, I have a song (with thanks to Lewis Carroll)

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two p
ennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-evening,
Beau-ootifu Soo-oop!

I believe this was sung by the Gryphon during The Lobster Quadrille. :rolleyes:
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are

[SIZE=1] nevermind[/SIZE

[momoffuzzyfaces]

:eek: WOW! Just listen to all the soup slurping going on!

Mario, fire up the juke box! Something cheerful please. Country western on a dreary day makes me want to get drunk and stay that way until spring!

How about some Beach Boys?
:D

[DJFyrewolf36]

Helllooooooo anyone here?

Guess Ill pour me a coffee...Glad I get the afternoon off today, Im beat!

Heya mario, want a few cherries? Ok...so long as you eat them and not fling them at the next person to walk in!

REMUS, lay off the catnip!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey everybody! I heard on the radio this morning that next week is....get this.....are you ready.....NATIONAL SPLIT PEA SOUP WEEK!!! Yes, can you believe it? :eek: I guess I know what we'll be having for lunch next Thursday. :D

I forgot to look for my recipe last night - sorry. I'll try and remember tonight.

I'm tired and I'm glad it's Friday. Wish I had the afternoon off too.

Guess I'll have one of those Swiss Lemonades to start the day off. Then I can dream about Switzerland all day again today.

Yo-del-a-he-hooo! :D

I thought I would pop in and tell everyone to wish RICHARD a very Happy Birthday!!!! :D

[lbaker]

ARRRRRGH, I thought it was tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU BIG GALOOT!!! Watch your back, I think Mario has a birthday surprize planned and you know what THAT could mean :rolleyes: :eek:

[wolflady]

Yes, it is tomorrow...but since I will not be here at Thursday's tomorrow, I thought we could wish him today! ;) :p

[lbaker]

Tomorrow today? Or yesterday? I thought today was yesterday there but Wolflady lives in California and some people there don't know if they walked to work or carried a lunchbox next week. See?

[gini]

Richard? Is Laurie trying to pick a fight?

Just leave MY LUNCHBOX out of it, please! Dern easterners anyhow!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY? GOSH YOU JUST HAD ONE LAST YEAR!

Break out the Ginger ale for a toast!

Can't wait to see Mario's surprise! Maybe you should wear a rubber suit, just in case we need to hose you off! :D
