Thursday 125- It's good to be alive.

[RICHARD]

Here's the deal for this Thursday...


If you opened this thread you HAVE to post.

Check in an let us know that you are O.K...There's alot of 'stuff' going on on the planet and I think it's time to stop for a second and join us for a little mirth...

Mirth is legal in all 50 states and is highly addictive.

It's an open bar and we can pretty much get you anything you want.


Here's the first quarter in the jukebox..


"It's not Unusual" by Tom Jones.....something to make everyone laugh.:D ;) :cool: :p :)

[slick]

OK, I've opened up this thread so I guess I will post. Not a good day at work....server down......users with nothing to do until the server is rebuilt.....people complaining.....wwwhhhaaaaa.....

Enough ranting. I'm in a good mood and all will be well in the garden. Right Chauncey???;)

So, I think maybe we should get Gini to bring in Rupert and show him around the place. Maybe he can work his magic over by the bar. I'll be happy to empty his "little container." :D :D I wonder what Mario will think of him??

New Orleans get's struck again and here we are enjoying ourselves in the bar. A toast and some prayers to all those in the path of Rita.

:eek: :eek: Richard, is that a broken hip....or are you trying to imitate TJ??? :D :D

Edit: Can we please say a few prayers for Kelly. She's in hospital again. :( :(

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ok, here I am.
Prayers on the way for Kelly for sure!

I can use a few good thoughts myself. Got a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. He's supposed to specialize in pain managment. I'm sure hoping he can help. My arthritis has been really bad latley.

Looks like we may get some Rita left over's later in the week too.

HI, Mario!

4 catnip teas for the critters please, and a large cherry vanilla coke for me. (funny, I typed that cherry vanilla cook at first) :D

[Rachel]

Yikes, I got caught peeking in at the Thursday's bunch. And how come Thursday's is starting on Wednesday?

Golly, Richard, you do play the *oldies*. That song is from my era. As for a drink, make mine Pomagranite juice. I'm still working.

serves you right! ;)

Pom Juice, DONE!

Slick,

When it rains....

Prayers sent to Kelly. DONE!

Moff,

Good thing you didn't type Cherry Vanilla Kook!

CVC and 4 cat nip teas....DONE!

[caseysmom]

Oh gosh my first order at the bar...I am still working I will take a strong cup of joe for now!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Howdy friends!

Well so far, I'm alive :p and thats good.

Waking up is the first step right? :D Things are going a bit better. The move is stressing everyone out but at least we get a better place (with a garage, so I can tinker with the Festiva at all hours of the day or night!).

The cats are getting antsy with all the boxes about. Remus and Spook seem kind of depressed about the whole situation, although they were playing this morning and trust me I was thrilled! They haven't played at all since the eviction notice came. Onyx is oblivious, he thinks we've brought the boxes in to build him an amusement park :rolleyes: . I think all of them though could use a CNT or two. I could use a double...anything is ok with me!

I'd like to take a moment of silence and prayer for everyone going through difficult times all the world over.

PLUR to everyone!

[Cataholic]

I am here, I opened the thread, and will comply with Richard's edict. I posted. Bye bye!

[davidpizzica]

Hi, gang! david p is still among the living. Just got done with work and I'm relaxing with PT. RICHARD could I have a big cup of coffee and three CNT's for the girls. Here are prayers for anyone in the path of Rita. BTW, is Tom Jones still living?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey everybody! Gee, it's good to be back at Thursdays. :D At the rally last week we had Happy Hour everyday, so I was definitely keeping up with the alcohol intake, just missed the atmosphere and company. :D

Life is good here in my little corner of the world. Just wish that was the case for the rest of the world.

Here's a toast to to better days for those who are having bad days, and a toast to good days for those who are having good days. :)

[wolflady]

I usually peek into Thursday's but don't post often as I usually get lost in the shuffle :o
LOL

Yes, prayers on the way for Kelly and just for everyone who needs them. There is just so much going on right now it seems.

Could I have mojito please?

DJ, I'm meeting Amberlee for lunch today...so finally the CD will be in hand!

**hugs**

[lizbud]

Hi all. Just popped in to see what's going on today. I've got
a plumber coming over to fix a leaky pipe in the basement. Not
sure if I should have a drink now or wait till I get the bill later.:D

[Pit Chick]

So what's the DOTD? Hurricanes or frozen Rita's?

[RICHARD]

LOL,

This must be plumbing week....I worked on a stopped up toilet at my mom's house last week....for two days. I feel your pain.

Your place at the bar is being held.

DONE!

Wolflady,

A mojito, and say Hi to Amberlee for us???

DONE!

T&P,

LOLOLOL,

I see you prefer happy hours in LA!!

A toast? Better Days are ahead!

DONE!

David,

A cup of joe and 3 CNTs...Prayers for the Gulf...

DONE!


Hi Cat,
Thanks for checking in!!

:D

DJ,
How's about a slushie and 3 CNTs?
DONE!

Caseysmom,

You cup of Joe awaits you!!

DONE!


Some good vibes sent out to the world......and whereever you are at...

DONE!

[PJ's Mom]

I've opened the thread, so here I am. :eek:

I just got back from having a root canal and I went by the store afterwards, to fill a prescription. People around here are buying up all the water and batteries they can before Rita hits. Amazing since we're 170 miles from the coast. :rolleyes:

I'll have a DotD, please. :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

PC, I'll take a frozen 'rita. Just got bad news about our friend with prostate cancer (see General) so there's one more to add to the prayer list. :(

Funny how life can go from good to bad in the wink of an eye. :(

[Kfamr]

After much crying and frustration today it's finally a happy ending. For those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, go view my most recent thread in Dog General. I was so worried as to what would lye ahead for this sweet dog.


I'll take a virgin slushie and I have homemade corn & black bean salsa to pass around. :)

[PJ's Mom]

At least it was a happy ending. You did a great thing, Kay. :) I bet that little girl is very happy now. :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I just read the entire thread, Kay. Since your mom was adamant that you couldn't keep her, I'm so glad you found her home. If your mom had agreed to keep her, I'd be heart broken that you found her home. I can't believe how similar her and Ki were and how well they got along. Since I don't make it to the dog side very often, it was really quite difficult for me to tell the two apart - even after you showed her with the collar you put on. :o

I will definitely join you in finishing off that salsa, and make it a full blown slushie for me - green please - thanks. :)

Alive and well David. My co-worker goes religiously to see him every time he performs in Atlantic City. He was recently scheduled to perform in New Orleans, I believe, and obviously that is not going to happen. :(

Richard I opened your thread so here I am posting. I will take a Black Russian please. ;)

Richard I opened your thread so here I am posting. I will take a Black Russian please. ;) It was just that I haven't heard anything about him lately. Thanks for the info. I think I'll have a double slushie and sit down and relax the knee. It aches when I've been on it too much.

[gini]

AAAKKKKK.........I opened this thread so now I have to SAY something???? Richard, how could you do this to us? I errr, ummm, wanna say..... uh, uh, well, you know!

LARGE Green Slushie please...........................

I rejoice with Kay and her family that they found Coco's home.

I pray with Kelly's family that she will be alright.

How I wish that I had the powers to just make RITA go away!!

It is good to be alive.........and Rupert and I are very grateful.
(well, he thinks he is "alive". I hate to break it to him that he needs a battery for life.)

Good work with the dawg!

DONE!


HI Pam..

Pull up a microfiber stool and here's your drink!

DONE!

David,
Double slushie and here's a sit on the patio.

DONE!

[slick]

Something terrible has happened here and I know it's going to come back and bite me in the butt. Our department is going to be in deep doo-doo come Monday morning. I need a big slushie now please. Thanks.

Sorry, don't mean to....oh yeah, that was last week's Thursday. :D :rolleyes:

Great news Kay that Coco is home again. She landed on your doorstep because she knew that you would help. Kudos to you.:)

I hate to break it to him that he needs a battery for life
So this means that you DO have an appliance that needs batteries!!! :D ;) :D

[lizbud]

Well, plumber's gone, problem fixed. Only cost $268.00. :eek:

How about a nice cold draft beer Richard?

[QueenScoopalot]

I make post # 30 (unless someone posts at the same time)...where's the other 161 replies to this thread?:confused: Cheers to the guests here, and prayers to all in need of them, and to hoping Rita dies. ;) The HURRICANE!! ;) (edit...I need a drink too while I'm popping in)! :rolleyes: I'll have a mudslide...frozen por' favor! :)

[Freckles]

Reporting in as directed.
Just watched the jetblue landing in LA and that was a good thing!:)

[Shelteez2]

:o caught me.... I always check out Thursdays.... never post 'cause I don't know any jokes! lol

[Logan]

Good grief, Richard. You made everyone answer on this one!!! :) Including me!!!! :D

It is good to be alive, isn't it? So many sad, scary things going on around us. This hurricane is scary, really scary. I do hope that all will be safe.

Serve me up whatever you're serving, just no brown liquor and no coconut. I think you already knew that! :p

Logan

[slick]

It's been a long day for me and I'm hungry and thirsty.

May I please have a double BM and some onion rings. Ta!

So many people need prayers and hugs.....sending lots of them from little old me. Well, I may be old....but little??? :rolleyes:

[davidpizzica]

Hi, gang! I just got awake with the help of a furry, four-legged alarm clock named Daisy. Maybe a double slushie will get me back to dreamland. also, Pittsburgh prayers to anyone in Rita's path, and anyone needing prayers that are menntioned here.

[RICHARD]

Ok...after several mentions....it's obvious I missed something last week. Who/what is Rupert? Gini, have you taken to naming your....eeerrrrr.....battery operated devices? :eek: ;) :D

Beautiful morning here again. We had a thunderstorm last night and I swear those boomers were two feet from my head! :eek:

Once again it's going to be a busy day, so I'll just have the usual to start with, but have the slushies ready for later - I think I'm going to need them.

Slick, I'm racking my brains trying to figure out what could have happened that won't cause problems until Monday? A virus that won't kick in until then maybe? :confused:

[gini]

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=88719

Debbie - you have heard of Extreme Makeover - or Extreme Makeover Home Edition??? Well, I had an attack of Extreme silliness last Friday and the above thread is the result.

However, Rupert IS here, alive, well and awaiting my next command.

Good morning everyone - think I will just stick to coffee this early - well, maybe a shot of Bailey's wouldn't hurt.

Let's hope for a GREAT day for everyone here!

LOL me too - I don't usually know what to say but I do check it out...I guess ya caught me Richard! :D

edit: while I'm here, I might as well have a drink...any frozen margarittas in the blender? ;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Could I have a 7 up or a Sprite, please?
My tummy is upset because I go see this new doctor this afternoon.

Gosh, I do so HATE to meet new people when I'm half neked!!!:eek:

[DJFyrewolf36]

G-morning all!

Another day at the office...hooray. Oh well, I feel pretty darn good today :-) and I'm not going to let things get me down!

A slushie and 3 CNTs for the crew...and maybe something worked up for my little ratties, Cleo and Banana. I haven't been paying nearly enough attention to them lately :(

[davidpizzica]

Hi, Jen! I welcome another western Pennsylvanian to thursdays! I can use another double slushie, too. Jen, I can't wait for you to meet Mario.

[JenBKR]

Thanks for the warm welcome David! Now, who's Mario? :p

[RedHedd]

OK I will comply with Richard's rules of Thursdays, although I know there really are no rules here, just a good place to peek in for some upliftment (is that a word?) It's been a ROUGH week; everyone I know is having a hard time at work (including me) - must be the fall equinox or the planets are misalligned, or we could just blame it on George Bush :rolleyes: or global warming. I keep telling myself, this too shall pass.

Mishi went to the vets for a follow-up ultrasound on Tuesday. No change in his kidneys although they did see the beginnings of a bladder stone, so the vet is changing his diet to Science Diet XD (instead of the KD he's been on). He's also lost about half a pound, they think - he was so rambunctious at the vet's office that they had a hard time getting him to sit still to get an accurate weight on him. He now has a rep at the vet .... poor guy. I still love my big goon, even though he is expen$ive to keep around. .... Except for his shaved belly, he seems fine to me and he likes the new food.

So, before the attorneys come in from court and start beating me up again, I'll have some whipped cream on a cuppa.

Now to get back to the brief .... groan. Is it Friday yet, anywhere on the planet?

[gini]

Gee, and I thought it was just me that was having a bad week.

Maybe I do need a slushie to get this day in proper gear!

REPEAT AFTER ME: THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!

Oh Mario - bless your little heart - a hug and a kiss.......and you are going around to everyone and giving them one too?

Aren't you something else?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thanks for the hug and the kiss Mario. I really needed that. Nothing like a little monkey love to make a person feel better I always say!:D

[Randi]

Since I was curious enough to open this, I'll check in also. :)

First I want to send healing thoughts to Debbie & Terry's friend, to Kelly and to Moff. :( And hopefully Rita won't be too bad!!

I've had a much needed relaxing day, Susanne and I went for a walk in the churchyard (as we often do) and said Hi to John - the whole grave is covered in flowers. :) We gave his friend next to him a drink of water too.

Now, that I've had my dinner, I could do with a good cup of coffee [SIZE=1]and perhaps one of Slick's Bailey's. ;)

Fister is still being very demanding, he has even started coming under the duvet to get more attention! :) Oh, just as I mentioned his name, he's calling for me, so until next time .....

[slick]

Now to get back to the brief
:eek: Did someone say briefs??? They are better than boxers! :D ;)

Repeat....
It's going to be a good day
It's going to be a good day
It's going to be a good day

I've made some more Bailey's. Help yourselves. Gini, do you still have those plastic bottles from the BBQ? Hang on to them for next year.

Sending more prayers for those in need...

[JenBKR]

Got some fresh coffee brewing to get through the afternoon...I could sure use some of that Bailey's, mind passing it over? ;)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Poor Mishi boy...I'll just have to go into that vets office and tell them what a sweet kitty he really is!! :D

Now I have a question for you Thursdays patrons...

I create a comic called "It Sucks to be You". It is crudely drawn (Half because I can't draw worth a crud and half because it actually makes it funnier) but it is quite hilarious. It's about two roomates and the life they lead, based on my whacko life I've got going on here. I'm experimenting with drawing them on the computer and I was wondering if any of you all would like to see? I'd post them on here, but some of the topics covered I'll admit aren't even appropriate for the Dog House ;).

Please post here if you'd like me to PM you a copy of the first ones done on computer. I'll be more than happy to start making this a weekly or bi-weekly thing if the interest is high enough.

Just trying out a little of my off-brand humor on the general public :) Hopefully it goes over well!

Ummmm...now that I'm done shamelessly promoting myself...do I have to pay a Thursdays advertisement fee :confused: :D

[RICHARD]

And since I can make all of you post on the Thursday thread-- I want you all to reach into your pockets, wallets and purses and send me all the pictures of dead presidents you find...


Keep the coins for yourselves...:rolleyes: :eek: :confused: :D

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

There was a Kiddie comedian, Soupy Sales, who once did that on his TV show.....He told he children to send him money...

I'll see if I can find that story...it was funny.:D

Talk to ya'll later on...

and, yes, DJF, we know Mishi's a cool dude, but when he's at the vets he turns into another cat! I have to keep trying to get a pic of his "bikini shave" :p it's so cute and looks and feels like pink suede.

Lunch time! I'm starving!

oh, and Richard, do you just want the pictures or :confused: :rolleyes: :cool: :D :p

A seal walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender asks the seal, "What's your pleasure?" The seal replies, "Anything but Canadian Club".

[trayi52]

I'll check in too, hope everyone is doing better, prayers for those that are not feeling well today. Me? Just tired is all.

I'll take a Slushie, that really sounds great. I have been out shopping for the house, well looking at carpet, even though it is not ready for that yet! Still fun looking.

[Oggyflute]

G'day everyone, :)
An ice cold jug of beer would go down well Richard, it's a balmy 29 deg C at the moment.
Been a very hetic past month, but looking forward to catching up.
The bar's looking good, still a few cheery stains though.;) Better go over and kiss Mario Possum, he's probably missed you.

[slick]

**waves**
Hi Oggy.....so nice to see you here again! Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Got an ice cold Guiness if that suits you.;) :)

Corinna, I've got a bag full of Max's fur...do you still take orders?

[lbaker]

Slick! I'm sorry, I meant nothing personal by that lame joke :( Richard just put me on the spot by saying I HAD to post if I opened and someone said something about a joke and I was desperate. Come on buddy, let's kiss and make up (don't anyone look :rolleyes: ) OK OK, Mario and Possum are giggling in the corner, so what!

[Corinna]

Sure thing Slick I just finished a scarf for Choc. Puppy Hope it gets there in the next day or 2 . Mandy make sure mom posts pic. of your beautiful yarn.
Trev so good to see you here.
It's cool here this morning how about a hot cocoa. Hubby started back to work yesterday really sore but remembering to take it slow and take brakes and do some of his back exercizes. Yea no more totally broke.
Cheers to the sirrah family and Persion mom for a safe landing and return of the group home.

[joycenalex]

i'm leaving columbus this afternoon for 8 days of rest and sun. alex is staying here with my dear friend shawn to mind him and the 4 cats, still i worry about alex. may i have a mimosa please to celebrate and calm my nerves about the flights please?

[catland]

Sorry I missed the party yesterday. I just now skimmed through the posts since I'm required to add to the thread.

We started CERT training earlier this week. (Citizen's Emergency Response Team). Its a FEMA endevour (there's got to be a joke there somewhere) - but seriously, it has to do with the fact that we can't always count on the trained professionals to be there in case of a major emergency or disaster so its training on disaster preparedness.

Is there still a DOTD out there somewhere? If not, a Baileys sounds good too.:D

[lbaker]

pssst, Julie - over here! Allow me to fix you up with a drink-eroo. We have some slushies, Slick's Bailey's, the usually non-alcohol choices and I think someone opened some champaign for a Mimosa or two. Let's play pot luck and see what we get! I'm part of the ERT squad at work as well. If anybody needs help at the next BBQ you and I can take turns helping the firemen.. if we end up having to give them mouth to mouth well HEY! Just keeping in practise :D

Thought some comfort food would be a good idea.

[lbaker]

Fresh peas are still available, I'll help to shell them! I think shelling peas is fun *as fun as vacuuming with Rupert? Gini, we both need to get a life* How about some nice home made biscuits and gravy. Comfort food is good, nice idea :cool:

[gini]

I let Rupert loose in my office. He just loved this one corner and kept going back there over and over again.

Got to check it out - must be something good back there!!

Fresh peas - sounds good!

[lbaker]

Was that the corner where Richard stayed :eek: Maybe Rupert has a "thing" for Richard ;)

Lunchtime on a Friday...halfway there!!

It is COLD today :(. I'm going to go sit by the fire...

:D I'll take a slushie to go with my steakburger. Has anyone tried these things from Burger King? They are so yummy!

*HUGS* to anyone that may need them!

Fresh peas - sounds good! Reminds me of my cats when they keep returning to sniff a spot ... and as for the peas .... now I've got that "I scream, you scream, we all scream for green beans" jingle going through my head.

I think I need a slushie!

My whole life I have heard it "I scream, you scream, we all scream FOR ICE CREAM!! Never green beans..............

Must be the new age healthy jingle!!:D

[DJFyrewolf36]

Maybe two!! :D

I have a moral question for you all...

What do you do when you feel like crud and you want to leave work (and you've got paid leave) but everyone else decided to leave and YOU'RE the only one there?

Sigh...I want to just say eff it and close up shop but I know the second I do, SOMEONE will complain.

I hate feeling icky :(

Well it's five o'clock somewhere.... tell you're brain was temporarily in another time zone :rolleyes:

[Lady's Human]

Well, I guess since I did open this thread......;)

I'm glad this trip is almost over. I've been in OK for over a week, and it's time to go home to the family finally. I just hope Rita stays far enough offshore not to screw up my flight.

DJF,

I used to work with w guy who had a change of schedule in for the whole summer so he could "adjust" to daylight savings time. Just tell 'em you couldn't adjust to the clock change. :D

Bartender, I'll take an Irish Coffe, and I even brought an extra bottle of bailey's so slick won't be too put off.

Especially with brown onion gravy.:p :D

Actually since it's the first hot weekend downunder, and the footy finals are on. I've cleaned up the bbq, and have decided to do some sate beef kebabs, served on jasmin rice with a fresh garden salad.:D

It's also hot, so better drink some more beer.:D

It's also hot.. oops, too hot or too many beers.:D

I just made some hummus and fried pita bread, anyone want some? :D

[caseysmom]

I have been on a hummus kick, I'll take some! I have been buying it at costco though, its not as good as homemade.

[DJFyrewolf36]

PARTY TONIGHT!!!

Just stopping by before I go dance the night away. Can anyone spare some good PT vibes so no one is stupid and gets hurt? I worry about people sometimes...

:D Everyone enjoy the weekend!!!

I looovee hummus. I've never tried any store bought hummus, i've always just made it.

2 cans of garbonzo beans, a few dashes of olive oil, lots of garlic. ;)



Anyone want a dog? Specifically a dog named Nala?
Was sleeping peacefully on my bed with Nala. My bed is against the wall and Nala was sleeping on that side with her back to me. Decides to stretch and push her legs against the wall. In the meantime she pushes her back against me and I go flying off the bed, bashing my foot on the dog crate next to it.


GOOD MORNING! :rolleyes: :p

[davidpizzica]

Sorry for being a dufus (oh, that was last week) but what exactly is hummus? Is it good?

[PJ's Mom]

Hummus is a paste/spread/dip (whatever you want to call it ) made out of garbonzo beans and flavored with things like garlic, olive oil, red peppers, etc. It's quite tasty, but I hate the premade hummus. Making it yourself makes it taste much rmore fresh and you can control things like salt, sugar, etc. :)

[Kfamr]

What she said. ;)

I make mine with LOTS of garlic, cold and spread on warm toasted pita bread. Mmmmm.

[popcornbird]

Hummus is sooooooooooo yummy. :D Its a Middle Eastern/Greek dip/spread made out of garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, and other 'flavors' are added. Really good. I like to make it too. I actually never knew 'non-Arabs' eat it so much until I joined PT. :o

[CathyBogart]

Oooh, now I've got a craving for Hummus....but I've been to the grocery store twice already tonight. -_-;; What to do....

[RICHARD]

hey ya'll
Sorry I haven't checked in....

It's been a busy weekend.

It was work and plumbing and sweeping and trash....

I see that you are all doing the hummus thing...

MMMM...Good.

I have to apologize for being cranky this week.

This hurricane stuff drains me...

I also had my yearly eval this week, got into a shout out contest with the "boss" and there are some other things that have been on my mind lately.

Who knew my pinhead could hold so much info?????


I hope you all know that you should feel free to hang out and pour your troubles away when the 'bartender' isn't around....

------------------
I just hope that that Rita hasn't troubled anyone and that you are all safe and sound.


Party on guys and I am still trying to get myself in sync with being back to tend bar...


You all rock!


:) :) :)
