Thursday 124. I am sorry.

[RICHARD]

Since we are in the process of apologizing for for things we have or haven't done...George Bush, are you listening??? ;)

I think that THIS Thursday session will be a light hearted apology session for the patrons of Thursdays..

I'll come back with a suitable DOTD, but first I'd like to throw out the first apology.


I want to apologize for breaking up a marriage once.

And I want to apologize for driving the gal to re-marry her ex husband.

Actually,
who am I kidding???;)


DONE?:D

[Killearn Kitties]

I would like to apologise that I couldn't wait to find out what the drink was. Can I just have one please? It's been a busy week. :D

[lbaker]

I would like to apologize for running down Gini's street in my jammies yelling in the middle of the night :eek: For a DOTD how about a Verbena Mojito.. 10 to 12 verbena leaves, muddled with lemon slices and 1 ounce of simple syrup. Add citrus rum or citrus vodka and ice and shake vigorously with muddled mix. Pour into tumbler and top with soda. hehehehe - "take something muddled and shake vigorously" sounds like a perfect Thursday's drink to me :D :eek:

[slick]

Can I apologize for not apologizing because I have nothing to apologize for.......or should I just say I'm sorry because I don't understand US politics?

Hmmmm, maybe I'll just shut up and see what transpires....this has me confooozled.....but what else is new?

Karen, I can't wait either...oops, should I apologize for that? Let's hammer into this blender of slushies I just made! :D

Laurie.....:) :) :)

[mruffruff]

I apologize to Gini for arriving in the middle of the night and causing Laurie to run down the street in her jammies. But I won't apologize for enjoying the sight!

I'll take one of those drinks. Make it a double. It's been "that kind" of a month.

The day Katrina hit the coast, our business went 'live' with a whole new software system. Chaos everywhere.

I don't see Mario. Is he hiding?

[lbaker]

Mario is in the corner looking muddled and shaking vigorously :rolleyes: He thinks he'll get an extra drink that way ;) HI MARY! HI SLICK! HI KAREN!! Richard? Are you here somewhere? Come out come out wherever you are!!!

[gini]

Mary, how about I apologize for the absolutely filthy bathtub you found upon your arrival.

I told you that it was the result of some serious plumbing problems - actually it had been that way for months!:D :D

Who knew that the crowd wanted to take showers?:D :D

I would like a vat of the DOTD served back here for me and Mario!

Theme of the Day: LIGHTEN UP!!:p :p

[Cataholic]

Hmmm....what can I apologize for? I know, I know!

I apologize for not understanding what everyone elses (except you guys) problem is! So VERY sorry....really, I am.

[RICHARD]

I apologize for not having the DOTD ready...

LOLOL,

Some paper work got lost between buildings. I handed it off to a gal and she lost it in two blocks of travel..

They called me to ask me where it was...I told this chick that I didn't have it 5 times....I told a co worker I looked in my rear for it..

She told me that if I go potty later on and the papers come out, I'll be in trouble....

A good BM sounds wonderful....

Double? Better!!!!

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

I am sorry for trusting an airhead to carry back important papers.

;) :D :confused:

[CathyBogart]

I am HUNGRY! Any chance of a lemonade while I wait for my homemade pesto *drool* to be ready? I'll share when it's done!! :) :) :)

[Corinna]

Hey everyone quick warm up the puter here Boomers in the air. Hey Mario your going to have a cool new buddy here. Hope Boomers fight compaion was good company. I'll take a DLC had to deal with jelwrly rep today ,I hope the trends hold for next year. I think if I see another peice of costume jewels I will scream!!!!!!
Going to spin some Mandy (chocolate puppy ) and keep up with boomers progress. Got my wheel here can I take the chair in the corner and watch the screen and spin.?

[Corinna]

Ok Yahoo Boomer made it and is safely in grandparents arms. Bartender around in honor of Boomer.

[gini]

Yes, Mario - be very patient and kind to Boomer - he has had a very wild ride - he will tell you all about it.

And I offer to share another round with everyone in celebration of Boomer's safe flight and arrival home with his GRAND parents.

[RICHARD]

Well, It's late and I'll take care of everyone first thing tomorrow morning...even Evil has to rest..

I appologize for geing a lazy bartender??

[slick]

Good night Richard! A double BM for me and a bag of "nip" for Boomer!!

I apologize to Boomer that I couldn't be there to comfort him during the long journey.

[slick]

**knock knock knock**
Anybody home? Just finished a 90 minute boring meeting with idiots. Quick, I need something to stay awake. I'll just fix myself a slushie and take a seat over by the fireplace. Golly gee, I love Thursdays. :)

I think that Cathy Bogart will apologize for not sharing her homemade pesto...; )

Lemonade??

Done!

[lbaker]

Hiya Slick.. guess it's just you and me kid (so far anyway). I can't stay too long but prop your feet up and rest your brain for awhile. I'll bring us a few drinks and some munchies and we can get caught up. Haven't had much of a chance to chat with anyone lately, I've been a bit out of touch *with reality maybe? * but that's life. Mario is napping so maybe we have time to set up a scrabble board - wanna play scrabble? Hi Richard! I'm the lemonade queen... allow me while you keep Slick company :D

[RICHARD]

Let's make a super big bowl o' slushies!!

DONE!

Hey Great to hear that the Boomer is AOK..


Corrina,

DLC,
Cheers Boomer!!:D

[slick]

Thanks Dick....errrr, I mean Richard! Baby, you're the greatest!

Hi Laurie.....glad to see you around. Pull up a chair Sis and tell me all about what you've been up to lately while we are playing scrabble! Hmmmmm, I don't think that mfomberluck is a word! :D I've been a bit out of touch myself....that is, until my 3 hour phone call with Gini last night...:eek: :D :D Let me apologize because you were not in on the conversation...but you were zzzzzzzzz!

Hi Corinna, Hi Cathy! :) I apologize for not saying HI sooner!

What's for lunch? I could use some of Richard's refried beans and burritos. :D

[gini]

Grrrr, the power was out here again!!! That is the fourth time including the really BIG L.A. power outage.

Should I apologize for being non-productive? It sure takes a bite out of the work day.

Why, Slick, are you tired this morning? I will send Rupert your way for a spin - that ought to wake you up!

Hi everyone - Cathy, Corrina - Laurie - Richard................ya gotta love those slushies!

[slick]

OK, maybe I'm just tired and stupid (I apologize for that), but if the power is out, how can your PC be working??? :confused: Do you have a UPS??

[gini]

No - the power was out from about 10 am to 11:30 am............and then VOILA!!

Have to go around the house again and re-set all of the timers.

[lbaker]

I'm curious... when the electric goes out does that mean all your alarm systems are inactive? YIKES! The only time my alarm systems are inactive is when they are eating milky bones or sleeping in my bed :rolleyes: ;)

[gini]

Laurie, the main alarm system has a battery back-up.

The secondary alarm system just sleeps through all events.

:D :D

[slick]

No - the power was out from about 10 am to 11:30 am
Excuse me while I slink away and take my smart pill now!:o :rolleyes:

Cheers for Boomer and his new home!

[lvpets2002]

:o Ok I want to apologize for mmm :rolleyes: now where was I - oh yes was apologizing for [oh no a senior moment forgot again]:confused: :confused: Ok I know now it was not using the word of being responsable for anyone with sincerity..

[lbaker]

I sincerely apologize for my responsible words with irresponsibility and insincerity :p so there.

[moosmom]

I first need to apologize for asking such a dumb question. What question you ask??????

Funny you should mention it. But...

WHO THE HELL IS MARIO???????

Either my mind is mush from all the Tetrahydracanibenoid I did as a teenager, or he's a figment of all YOURS imaginations.

Now that I've probably made a total a$$ of myself, I'll have a double mudslide and a dish of nacho chips and salsa, and slink over unnoticed into a nice quiet corner alone.

I'm really not fit to be around anyone today. :mad:

[gini]

Oh Mario - don't cry - Donna really has never met you before. She doesn't know who you are and how important you are to all of us (well most of the time).

Donna - this is Mario - Mario - this is Donna - you are going to like her a lot. See, she is already drying your eyes with her hanky.

Donna, Mario IS A REAL MONKEY. Do you know Willie? Well, a bunch of Thursdays ago we adopted Mario, Willie's monkey, and he is our mascot here at Thursdays.

Watch out - he steals things and runs away and hides. But if you bring him his own jar of cherries he is your friend for life - errr - well maybe only until the cherries run out.

Donna, I highly recommend you sit down with Mario and get to know him.......and could you change his diaper while you are at it?:D :D

[slick]

and could you change his diaper while you are at it?

Now Gini, do you really think that's fair...given that Donna is a fairly new patron??? Well, OK.....I guess we all have to dive in eventually.

Donna, here are some gloves and a gas mask. Good luck!!:eek: :D There will be a mega mudslide waiting for you when you are done. ;)

[davidpizzica]

Hi, Donna! Let me grab a slushie or two and I'll help you with his diaper. He trusts me and I give him a not so friendly look when he tries to throw a cherry!

[gini]

Oh alright, I will change Mario's diaper.

I just thought it would be "kinda fun" for Donna to bond a bit with Mario - changing his diaper sure bonds something!!:D :D

[trayi52]

Hi everyone, I guess I'll apoligize for being late. Has Mario been a good boy?

I would like one of those slushies, sounds sounds good right about now.

By the way, how is everyone tonight?

Willie:)

[Corinna]

Just checking in before going off to bed . Terrible head ache a high level meeting with staff about inventory procedures starting next week for some of my shops. Man what a day. I think a hot coca and pepperment scappes would be very relaxing for tonight.

Hey Mario you remember your manners young man. Hey did we ever find the door key after he tossed it on the roof after our deck party?
( Has any one told Donna about the L&F room and the you know what that Slick and Gini keep in there?)

Hey what would it mean if I said there was a California fire truck out front? :D
Yeah I need to go to bed good night all.

[gini]

Wait - Wait Corinna, don't go to bed..........what fire truck?

Let me get Staci, Kelly, Laurie, Slick, Tonya, Karen, Sara, Mary, Randi - EVERYONE wants to see the fire truck!!:D

[DJFyrewolf36]

Dang...I am sorry I havent been around. Life has just simply has put me in a hurt locker...

A quad of whatever is going around...and a shoulder to cry on...

[moosmom]

Donna, Mario IS A REAL MONKEY

You're putting me on, right??? (no offense Mario).

So, lemme get this straight (even before I've had my coffee) Mario ISN'T a figment of all your imaginations, like pink elephants are mine when I've had too many cherry martinis???

I think I'll keep Mario and his existence to myself. If I tell any of my friends, I'll be in a rubber room for sure!!!!!

Oh, and ya better add an extra shot of vodka to that mudslide cuz this is just making me laugh so hard my sides hurt!!!

Nice to to meet ya, Mario :confused: :confused: :cool:

[gini]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/trayi52/sig%20album/tray1.jpg

Donna, see Willie's signature? There is Mario.

So we all know Mario is real - but your pink elephants:D :D - well, I haven't seen any around here lately!:p

[lbaker]

In real life Mario lives in Tennessee with Willie and Willie's family. Mario is a widower, his wife used to be in the circus but died several years ago :( He has free rein of the place and would be insulted if he had to live in a cage. Here at Thursdays he still has free rein of the place and can be quite helpful when not being a little imp. Willie had a video of Mario playing with her Grandson a year or so back. It was great. :D

[slick]

Gee, I'm sorry I didn't get here earlier to explain about Mario. Yes, Donna, he is real and has become our Thursdays mascot.

( Has any one told Donna about the L&F room and the you know what that Slick and Gini keep in there?)
All I can say about the Lost and Found, is stay clear...especially if you hear strange noises. Hmm, that reminds me, soon we will have to get out the Halloweenie decorations and make sure the Christmas decorations aren't buried in the back.

It's going to be a great day today even though it's raining here. Think I'll have a spanish coffee to start. Oh yes Mario, you can put a cherry on top...but not if you licked it! :eek:

OMD, did someone say firemen!!!! ;) :D

[lbaker]

ewww, spinach coffee? YUCKIE! Donna, by the way... Tennessee Mario has been cloned. I have one of his clones at my house (Slick gave him to me in Seattle) and he has been to Gini's BBQ twice now. He's a very well traveled youngun'. The flight attendents all love him. Travel with Mario and you are certain to get a free beer or two :D REALLY!! Would I kid you :eek:

[gini]

Donna.........a true story.

My niece attended the BBQ this year - so she now knows all about Thursdays and what it means - and she knows about Mario.

Her Dad, my brother, was visiting and I mentioned that I was really surprised because it was already Thursday and no one had opened Thursdays - so I had to do it.

My brother looked at me and said "what do you mean, you had to open Thursdays?"

My niece and I sat there howling - how do you ever explain the craziness that goes on here? You don't - you keep it to yourself and just have fun.

Could you bring your pink elephants one of these days? I bet Mario would love a ride on them.

[mruffruff]

Hi everyone!

That slushie Richard made me must have been a doozy. It made me late getting back here. But I'm always late, sometimes as much as 24 hours.:D

Umm, Laurie, I think that was Spanish-not spinach-coffee. I think I'd like a Spanish coffee too. I'll get it, Slick. Mario has the cherries. Sould I ask him for them or would you like to pass on them?

Done!

[lbaker]

oh Spanish coffee er *nevermind*

[slick]

Gee, I just spent some time going through Boomer's thread and seeing all the pictures. What an adventure, and he's come out purrrfectly OK.

Laurie, call it what you wish, my dear.

Lunchtime here and I'm being good....eating my healthy salad with chicken and a whole wheat bun, but thanks to visualization, I'm really eating a sloppy cheezeburger with two kinds of cheezes, lettuce, tomato and onion and a mountain of onion rings. :D :D

Thanks for the S-Coffee Mary. :)

[Uabassoon]

*rolls in the keg*

Tomorrow is my first rugby game of the season (after my three year hiatus). So I'm bringing in a keg to get into the spirit of the game, and to dull the pain of any injuries I may recieve.

[davidpizzica]

I'm sorry, I'm late again! I can use one of hose spinach/spanish coffees and three CNTs for the girls. Slick, when Donna comes over to my house, I can show her my Mario doll! I still have him sitting on my bookcase.

[RICHARD]

lol,

Moosmom,
A mudlside and nachos,

Done!

Hi tray!

A double slushie?
DONE!

David,

Thanks for the help in the slushie department!!

MrRuffRuff,

Blame the spirits, don't blame me!!!
What was the line,

Always late, but worth the wait??:D

DJ,

Here sit on the couch by the fire.....

Everything will be alright....a quad E Pluribus.....No moping here, remember that!

DONE!


Corrina,

That red truck shows up and the girls go wild!!!!:D

LV,

But what are you drinking???


Slick,

We are crazy,


Laurie,

Are we back to spinach cafe???

Hehe, I have to be at work a 5:30am - around 7 hours a day 4-5 days a week! 5:30 surely is a killer. Get lots of sleep tonight!

Oh... and can I have a Strawberry virgin Margarita? Had one in Margaritaville and it was delicious. ;) Plan to go again soon.... anyone want to come? :D

[moosmom]

I would absolutely LOVE to show you my pink elephants. Fortunately, I haven't seen them in over 12 years (sobriety, that is).

I took a look at Willie's signature and by God it IS a monkey!!!! All this time I thought Mario was a dog.

Sorry Mario. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. If you had a thing for catnip, I'd send you some. How about some cherries??? Send me your address and I'll pick some up at the store today.

[Corinna]

Good morning sorry I missed yesterday. Had a ton of things to do. .
Hey Richard I understand about red trucks married to an ex fire guy. ummm why are you wearing a white fur jacket?
I think we moved the decorations out to the locker out back just for the reason we didn't want to go in the L&F.
Got head to work only an month more. Yahoo!!!

[trayi52]

Good morning, all! Hope you are all doing okay this great morining. I really feel good this morning, our house is almost ready for the electrical wiring, and everything is really coming together now! Will not be long and we can move out of this little mobile home, and into our house!!

Mario is doing great too, and so is the rest of my fur family. Yeap I think I want to celebrate with a really good cup of coffee, and something stronger later on!

Willie:D

[RedHedd]

Tray it's SO good to see you online again. I'm glad the house is progressing. Mario, may I have a cherry in my coffee this morning?

That's so great to hear! :) Oh, what a celebration day that will be, huh? :)

We've got Ophelia visiting today, so it's kinda cool and rainy. Good day for a cup of hot chai tea, so I'll make a big pot if anyone wants some.

[trayi52]

Karen, I would love some! Thanks!

Willie:)

[slick]

Oh Willie that is such great news. :)

Well, I'm at work rebuilding a computer from some friends of mine. Karen, how nice of you to make some tea. Would love some. Thanks.

Hello to everyone else! :)

[Kfamr]

I just made some kick@$$ guacamole, but have no chips. Anyone want some? Bring some chips! :p


Willie, it's so wonderful your house is almost ready. :)

[davidpizzica]

Hi, girls! Count me in on the guacamole! I'll bring chips. Willie, I'm so glad your house is almost complete, and welcome back to thursdays!

[Karen]

And I forgot the original theme of the thread:

I'm sorry that I sometimes (too often) forget to reread my posts, and so leave confusing typos in them.

Better brew a new pot of tea, this time I'll use my lovely old Wedgwood teapot that I got as a wedding present from my elderly friend, Mrs. Aldrin (yes, her nephew was Buzz Aldrin. Okay, he's still alive, but she has since passed away). But it's very old Wedgwood, that darker blue, and it looks so pretty with the warm red-brown tea.

[Uabassoon]

Ok I'm ready for a drink, chips, salsa, guacamole... what ever you've got! Tough rugby match today, but I managed to get out with only a couple of bruises. Tied the first game and lost the second 0-3.

[Kfamr]

I'm craving some lime chips for that guacamole. :o Need to run to the store!!

We've got some yummy home-made salsa that my aunt makes, too.

[trayi52]

Kay, that sounds absolutely delicious! I'll take some of that. Hurry back from the store!

Willie:)

[Corinna]

I brought a cheese dip and chips . Willie I'm so glad to hear that the house is almost ready. You will have to do the open house via photos for all us Pet talkers.
I got hubby a early birthday presant (I am now getting tired of BBQ foods.
I think I'm just going to knit and sew tomorrow (day off thank DOG)
Have we got any DLC left?

[lbaker]

September 19 maties! TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!!

T'me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,

And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed. Yo ho...

Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello,
Your ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"

:eek: :D :eek:

[gini]

You want us to do what? so early in the morning!!!:o :eek: :mad:

[Kfamr]

Pirates?! Haha.. I was just looking through my closet for old Halloween costumes and found my old Pirate one.

Simba has a Pirate costume, too...
http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/nalasimmy/simba2.jpg

I don't think there's a cuter pirate than him.... Johnny Depp comes in close at second though. ;) But, I've never seen Richard as a pirate so who knows.......

[RICHARD]

I am sorry that I have not been attentive to the bar for the past few days.


I am sorry for laughing at Gini's plumbing problems...

I went home on Friday and my mom announces that her sewer line is plugged up..

My brother rents a snake (no not that kinda snake;)!)

And we get up on Saturday and try to run it to the street...

The snake doesn't feed right.. it gets all tangled up and they
gave us a blade that doesn't belong to that model machine.

The rental place closes at 12 p.m.....and it's 11:55../

On sunday I had to climb under the house and go into the system from there.

no fun at all....

But her toilet flushes now!!:D

Thanks for keeping the place jumping everyone!!!

[gini]

But did you clean the bathrub at 2:30 am - Richard???? None of this hard work and expense counts if you didn't clean the bathtub!!:D

[mruffruff]

Don't count on it!:D

History has a way of repeating itself.

No brag, just fact :D :p *heh heh heh*
