Use the left over fish bowls to make a drink!!!

Roman Holiday Punch

1/2 Cup Lemon Juice, 1 Fifth each of Marsala Wine, Rose Wine, and Brandy, 1 Pint Rasberry Sherbert

Mix all ingredients together except sherbert and chill. Add Sherbert just before serving. (Makes about 18 servings.)

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

Party On!!

Hi everyone. I'll be back!

For whatever reason, probably because it's cold, dreary and raining/drizzling, raspberry sherbert sounds absolutely scrumptious to me right now! I'll take a bowl of that, minus the alcohol. :)

Pit Chick

10-26-2005, 01:47 PM

I'll take one of those but make sure to take the fish out of the bowl first.

sherbert? I always see the ice cream stores packed on cold days... :confused:

DONE!!

PC,

One Holiday punch sans fish.

DONE!

Mario.

Yes, You can have a fish tank........

What? Oh yes, But don't put cherries into the water.

It's a cold overcast day in the 'hood...shall we start the fireplace?

GOD I miss alcohol.

Kfamr

10-26-2005, 02:36 PM

Got any hot chocolate? How about LOTS of marshmallows? :D

Oh.. and my question went unanswered.. are there any canine versions of the catnip tea? :)

It's in the 60's.. cool... and windy! Yet Kiara is still splashing away in the pool... :rolleyes: A fireplace sounds nice. ;)

Ooo! Ooo! Hot chocolate with tons of marshmallows for me too, please? And 4 CNT's.

YUMMY!!! :D

10-26-2005, 03:02 PM

Hi, everyone! I'll brave the cold and the damp and go out and get firewood and get a fire going. A hot chocolate sounds good, too! No, Mario, you can't roast cherries.

RICHARD

10-26-2005, 03:20 PM

GOD I miss alcohol.

Just a little bit more........ ;)

K,

Yes, HC with Marshmallows!

And a fire!

DONE!

MOFF,

I'll take one of those DOTD barkeep.

Piece of trivia for you - this is the 20th anniversary of the first time travel experiment in Back to the Future. How do I know?

My company is having their annual bowling/costume party this Friday. This year's theme was "I Heart The 80's" and my team is using Back to the Future as our theme.

I'm going as the Delorean. :eek: :D

Lady's Human

10-26-2005, 03:38 PM

Richard, I'll take a DOTD minus the fish as well. (Maybe put all the fish out in the pond out back)

Kfamr, about the CNT for dogs, what about a nice bowl of beef bullion for the pupsters? I'm sure Lady would love it, or how about going whole hog (or cow as the case may be) and doing a nice pot of beef stew?

Pit Chick

10-26-2005, 03:47 PM

I'm going as the Delorean. :eek: :D

LOL, that was my favorite character! :D :D

I can make a mean beef stew if any of the doggers are interested. With or without carrots?

RedHedd

10-26-2005, 04:31 PM

sherbert? I always see the ice cream stores packed on cold days... :confused: Probably because all those people (myself included) are in denial that it's winter or just because ice cream is a happy food and on a cold dreary day, happy food makes one .... happy :p

Tubby & Peanut's Mom

10-26-2005, 05:00 PM

Hey everybody! :)

I'm ready to par-TA! The boss is gone for...check this out...11 days!!! Yes, count them, eleven days! He won't be back to work until November 7th! I can't believe it because in the 13 1/2 years I've been here, he has never taken that much time off at once!! Wooo hooo! The good news is he will be checking in now and then. Seems every single customer has a major crisis the minute he is out of touch. :rolleyes:

So, I'll take a DOTD....all 18 servings if you don't mind making more. ;) :eek:

Kay, seeing as how the pups like Greenies so much, how about Greenie tea? Just boil a few greenies for awhile and walla! :D I didn't want to go along with the beef stew idea because that sounds pretty good to me! Sure I'll have a couple of bowl fulls if you're making PC. ;)

Gee.....a couple bowls of stew, all 18 servings of the DOTD....seems I'm being a bit of a glutton today.... :rolleyes: :p :D

RICHARD

10-26-2005, 05:38 PM

Hey everybody! :)

So, I'll take a DOTD....all 18 servings if you don't mind making more. ;) :eek:

LOLOLOL, do not poke your eye on all the straws.

DONE!

Redd,

That reminds me of the joke...How can you tell the tourists in Lost Angeles?

It's 59 degrees outside and they are wearing shorts!! :eek:

Hey PC,

Welcome back....The nice part about feeding the dogs beef stew is not having to wash dishes afterwards!! ;)

DONE?

thanks!

LH,
One Roman Holiday, no fish...
Do you want all 18 servings?
Oh man....beef stew and homemade bread!!! :)

DONE!

Hey Catland,

Why does Bowling and Halloween Costumes sound dangerous? :eek: :confused:
DONE?

(Pictures please?)

Maybe Richard can slip some Dayquil into your DOTD, by the time you've downed a few, you're sinuses will be clear and you won't feel a thing. ;) :D

Tubby & Peanut's Mom

10-27-2005, 09:31 AM

'Morning everyone! :)

It's a little early for a DOTD, and I'm quitting coke - again - so how about some coffee with Slick's Baileys? She sent me a note telling me where she hid some secret stash and thankfully Mario didn't find it first. ;)

Killearn Kitties

10-27-2005, 10:26 AM

Oh go on - coffee and Baileys sounds great! Hope that has the power to get rid of colds too!

I'll jump on the coffee and Bailey's bandwagon, too! Just the thing for chilly days.

Did the snow miss you in the end, David?

davidpizzica

10-27-2005, 11:27 AM

Karen, it barely missed Pittsburgh, we just got a lot of rain. However just to the east of us in the more mountainous areas the received 3-6" of snow!

lbaker

10-27-2005, 12:45 PM

YIKES!! I woke up this morning (as I have for the last several mornings) in UTAH. Sun is shining and it's going to hit 70 degrees this afternoon. My son back East says it's 50's and rainy the last few days. I should feel bad about that but, oh well. hehehehe. I'm at the Human Genetics show working my tail off so only have time for a slug of whatever's handy. Thanks. What are fish doing all over the place? Oh, the back stroke :rolleyes: I met Wolf-Q (Amy) for dinner two nights ago and met NEBO!!! I love Nebo. I met Reggie and Sydney (her other two dogs) as well. Great fun to travel around and meet PT'ers. ooops... another surge of folks coming in. Gotta run... behave ;)

RICHARD

10-27-2005, 01:08 PM

Human genetics? Tail?

I NEED A DRINK!

Two RHs...One for Laurie and one for her tail...

Mario,

I think you need to give Laurie some advice!

Done!

David,

What is snow??? :confused:

One Bailey's and coffee!
DONE!

KK,

I bought a cup of coffee across the street and I got a two dollar bill for change!!!! :D

Coffee and Bailey's? DONE!

T&P,

One coffee and Baileys.....No ice, in a coffee cup!!!

DONE!

PC,

I'm a bartender, not a pharmacist, dammit!! ;) :D

DDM,

Get better, there is nothing worse than getting a cold...

Feel better and a RH w/nyquil....

DONE!

Since it has alcohol I think you can swing it.

Tail? Are you sure you're at the right show? :D

RICHARD

10-27-2005, 03:00 PM

A prehensile tail could be useful! Sometimes you just need a third "hand" so a tail would fit the bill just fine.

It's just cold and raw here. I think I'll have a hot cocoa with some Rumplemintz and whipped cream.

(Rumplemintz=really good peppermint Schnapps! Yum)

Ah yes, Rumplemintz, they had some great ads in the years past!

DONE!

And two cherries, one for you and one for Mario!! ;)

PC,

OOPS!

"Jim, I'm a bartender, not a pharmacist, dammit!!"

I forgot the 'Jim'!!! ;)

10-27-2005, 03:55 PM

What do you mean I have to take a number to get into the restroom?

It's a deli now too??? :eek:

I don't even want to THINK about what Laurie is up to.............but she sounds happy doesn't she?

Richard, feeling generous today - so give everyone a DOTD on me!!

Hard work day - so guess I will request a large Pepsi with lots of ice!

Killearn Kitties

10-27-2005, 04:12 PM

"Jim, I'm a bartender, not a pharmacist, dammit!!"

Jim? Jim??? As in "It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim"? What have I missed.

You got a two dollar bill? Can you scan it for me? I still don't believe that some of this bizarre currency you mention exists! :D

Tubby & Peanut's Mom

10-27-2005, 04:46 PM

You got a two dollar bill? Can you scan it for me? I still don't believe that some of this bizarre currency you mention exists! :D
Gee, you should have mentioned that when you were visiting, Karen, I could have showed you a real one instead of just a scanned one. As a matter of fact, I think we have several and I probably could have given you one! :D

I can't believe I have frittered away the entire day! I've answered the phone a few times, but other than that, I haven't done a lick of work all day! Gotta love when the boss is on vacation. :D

And to help celebrate, I think I'll have another bowl of those DOTDs, yes, all 18 again if you don't mind - thanks. :D

Yep! Two dollar bills really do exist! My Gram used to send me and my brother one on our birthdays! I still have one or two of them somewhere. I don't have a scanner or I'd prove it. You'll just have to trust me. !!! :D

Can I get a LARGE cherry vanilla coke and 4 catnip teas???
The UPS man just left off a one pound packet from one of the companies about their Medicare Prescription drug coverage. It will take forever to read all this stuff never mind understand it. :D

LOL,

The "jim" reference is to the Sci-Fi series, Star Trek.

The doctor on the space ship was asked, by the captain, if a wounded crew member would survive... I think that he line he responds with is...

" Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a miracle worker..."
Someone will correct me- I know that's not the exact quote!

Oh yeah!! Scan the bill and get sent to jail for counterfeiting.....Just take my word for it, OK?? :p

Gini's buying so....
Pepsi for the little lady and roman holidays for the rest of us!!!

DONE!

T&P,

A large bowl 'o Holidays!! DONE!

MOFF,

If enough of us tell her about the bills, she'll believe us!!!

Large CVC and 4 cat nip teas!!

Pit Chick

10-27-2005, 05:34 PM

I'll vouch for the 2 dollar bill. Along with the 1 dollar bill it's the only one that hasn't had a face lift.

Hello everybody!! I think a Hot Buttered Rum would taste good right now, so thats what I want. So what is Mario drinking, and what is he doing with those cherries?

Where is Slick? I haven't seen her here in a few weeks. Is she sick? I would really love to hear from her. I really miss her.

Hmm, Debbie.. Simba wants to know if it comes with a Greenie Stiring stick? If so, he'll have a double. 2 for the girls as well, too, please.

Laurie!! You got to meet Amy, Bebo, and the Schnauzers?! :D Aren't you unlucky. ;) Too bad you weren't coming a month later, I would have loved to meet you. :)

I just had hot chocolate (no marshmallows, though :() with my friend Gina. :)

I've got to laugh at "thursdays". Genetics, tails, roasted cherries. :D
Richard, I do believe Scotty was the miracle worker. :D -Hence Bone's comment.
After the crazy week I've had, and with the temp hitting 30degC, a few Corona's are in order. Actually more than a few, I've allready started you see. :D

Why do kitties wake you up at the crack of dawn - demand to be fed - and then they all go back to bed? 'I' don't get to go back to bed - no, I have to go to work and make money to feed these little orange beggers!!

I may stop by later for a nice "Holiday" - thanks for the Pepsi, Richard!

My guys are going to be verrrry PO'ed at me until they discover I'm bringing leftover strip steak from last nights dinner :p Of course I have some nice smoked salmon for the catkins. Oh Karen, not only two dollar bills but Sacajawia coins!! They are beautiful and not all that common but I'll send you one in your Christmas card :D

:D I'm not sure that you should, Laurie. Richard has already accused me of trying to make enough money to pay for a flight to the States! Rats! He cottoned on to my $2 bill counterfeiting scam far too quickly!

RICHARD

:D I'm not sure that you should, Laurie. Richard has already accused me of trying to make enough money to pay for a flight to the States! Rats! He cottoned on to my $2 bill counterfeiting scam far too quickly!

I am a capitalist at heart.....counterfeiting is a little over my limit of civil disobedience!!!

(Laurie get a big box and send me about 3,000 of them coins, O.K.?)

DONE?

Gini,
You open your doors to the PT world and three orange kitties bother you? :confused:

Oggy,

That's why you have to put your ear to the door before opening it.....YOU NEVER know what will happen in here!

Coronas? DONE!

Chocolate and friends, a winning combo!!

Yeah, $2.00 bills, Sac. coins, Susan B. Anthony coins, you name it, I've got it. My mom has one of those book thingys that they used to make and you'd save pennies in it, plus a bunch of other "valuable" coins. The one time I was visiting and had my laptop along. We tried to find the real value of all her "valuable" coins and we determined they were worth about 5 cents more than their face value. So much for being "valuable." :rolleyes: However, she put them right back in their box and right back in her drawer. Valuable or not, she wasn't getting rid of them. :D

Well someone better warn those fishies that Micky is on his way! He was furious to hear that he missed out on a party a couple of weeks ago, so he is on his way now with Auntie Tracey's catnip pillow! Party on!

He said he hasn't even found a computer yet, so I don't think I have much to worry about. And besides, if he knew how much time I spend here on PT, I probably would have been reprimanded a long time ago. ;)

Happy weekend everybody! We're off for one last camping trip :) before winterizing the motorhome and putting it in storage until Christmas. :(

I'm so frustrated....this is not a good thing as it impacts 3 other departments. Dear God, please let me win this weekend's lotto so I can quit work. Amen.

Ah, but that's the thing of it!!! You don't need a jeweler's loupe to see it. It's just hanging out there in plain sight!!! :eek:

Seems sort of odd to me that a country that doesn't blink an eye when people want "in God We trust" off the money, will let an x-rated buffalo hang out on the money that little children will see too. Something's odd here somewhere!

Hi, Slick!!! Good to see you!!!
