Twas the night before Thursday #138

[RICHARD]

And all thru the bar,
Mario has stolen the keys to the cars.
The undies are hanging from the rafters overhead
And Lady thinks the couch is her bed.

Possum is waiting for the next snack
And the patrons are lined up at the door that's out back.
They bartender shows up and the choir does say..
Get that door open, It's almost Christmas day.

I held a finger up to my nose.
"what's the matter with you all, lately the bar doesn't close!"
To avert a riot, a scandal or stink...
I better get this mob some kinda cyber drink...


HEY NO PUSHING!! I am on it.


Since it's Christmas and you all should get what you want, there is no DOTD so order at will!

(INSERT "WILL" JOKES HERE)



I want to wish you all a Great Christmas and hope that 2006 shines for everyone....


I want to acknowledge Slick...We are with you.....

And David.....Damn colds! Lady's Human......take it easy on the wood pileand your back, O.K??.... and that frigging Orc.....I put him in the Lost and Found - as any Urukai would do, he made a mess of the place. sheesh!

Let's lower our Blood pressure this year...no names needed.. ;) Poor Debbie and her Hydral-leak problems. Everyone else seems to be doing OK....


On the good side.....Gini and Tonya.......


I was wondering if the Ginster was anywhere near that exploding airplane tires at Logan yesterday......knowing her, she went over the weight restrictions on the luggage...... :p ;) :o


And to the Zipster!

Congrats....


That hard work will pay off soon......and think about this!
You won't have to find a rich guy to marry.......

You'll marry a poor one that wants your brains!! :confused: !

I love you all.....and do I have to keep reminding you all that you Rock? :D


------------------------
And to the LURKERS.....come in for a drink....it is Christmas!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Barkeep the first round of drinks are on me!

I want to drink to all my friends hither and yon, human and non-human, whom I have come to love!

So a big cherry limeade (Mario, please let me drink it before you put your hand in it trying to fish the cherry out) for me and 4 cnt's for my gang.

Speaking of blood pressure, mine nearly hit the stroke mark yesterday when I killed my dvd player and the fuse box blew in this house. Luckily for me, the electricians were able to get the power back on but if it blows again, it means a new fuse box plus rewiring the house which my landlady won't do.
So please everyone keep my old house in your thoughts and prayers. :eek: :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Ooooo I'll take a little Christmas champagne please, bartender. Here's to 2006, only happiness for Pet Talkers next year!

No-one told me there were Orcs in the L&F! :eek:

[slick]

Hi everyone! I'm back at work today and working on auto-pilot. Can't think about yesterday or I'll lose it.

I'll take a strong BM please and thank you. Going to settle on the couch by the fire for a bit.

[Killearn Kitties]

Glad you're here, Slick. Let me get a roaring fire going for you while you are waiting for that drink. Or will I just vault over the bar and get them myself?? Hehehehehehe

[RICHARD]

KK, No you don't.....Not in that dress......

I have seen knickers before, but I think the ladies here in the bar should show SOME decorum!!!

Some Christmas Champagne?

DONE

Slick,

Sometimes autopilot is the only way to go....Just please disalble it while you drive, ok?

One good strong BM and keep your chin up, we all love you.

DONE!


MOFF,

OK....A CLA and 4 CNTs.... and no more electric problems..
DONE!


I just asked for two weeks of good times for everyone...

Hello, IS anyone listening? ;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I just asked for two weeks of good times for everyone...

Hello, IS anyone listening? ;)WE'RE listening but our problems aren't!!!! Sometimes I wish I was on a deserted island but know I would be bored in about 10 minutes. :D

[lbaker]

MOFF, I've met your friends Hither and Yon, what a couple of krazy characters :D I think a lovely glass of champagne would be great right now. Actually, even an ugly glass of champagne would work :rolleyes: Gini was worried about the cold New England weather and lookie! It's going to be a balmy day in the 40's around Boston :cool: Thanks for the good thoughts Richard - I'll second that emotion!! I'm so sick and tired of junk food the vendors keep sending I think I'll fix something healthy for today's bar snack - hmmmm - let's compromise... how about chocolate dipped strawberries and fruit? I'll bring out one of those fancy dripping chocolate fountain things that are all the rage now! We can fix fruit kabobs! Mario can help!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Mario and a chocolate fountain? Why does that give me nightmares? :eek: :D

[zippy-kat]

Aw, thanks for the shout-out, Richard!

{{Yes, I hope 2006 holds the best in store for EVERYONE!}}



We were worried about putting a tree up with Sid (this is his first Christmas). Wouldn't you know it? He could care less... it's K'CEE that's trying to climb it! Yep, 3 years and running... (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=18407) :D

[lbaker]

Zippy! How could I have missed the mysTREE story from a few years ago. I had to get up to shut the office door, especially after the comment about "what balsam people have, I tell you..." :eek: :D :D I was laughing so hard I started to hiccup!! You deserve a DOTD of whatever kind you wish my dear!

[Corinna]

Hi all just finished frosting cookies want a few? I think we may have just discovered my sons talents. He just did a ginger bread house and some cookies, think he should take cake decortating classes. Costco pays very well. My best freind works in the cake dec. and after 3 years shes making $20 bucks and hour.
I'll take a hot cocoa (sugar free I sampled way to much Icing) This has been quite the week losses moves missed adventures.
Also drum roll pleaseI heard my grand babies heart beat yesterday. The midwife thinks she's will carry this one to term (fingers crossed) strong heart beat and very lively kept tring to move from the doppler.
Going to help daughter celbrate her b-day (24th) with lunch tomorrow , then going to her place on Sunday and taking a family freind had her new guy. Got to make the sweet rolls to take.
I want to wish you all a Merry christmas.
Can next thursday we do New years resoluions?

[RICHARD]

Now, what else would we do? ;)

Sugar free hot cocoa

DONE!

Laurie and Zip....

Is it coincidence you live so far apart??? :)
Laurie, I read your post as HITLER and YON.... :rolleyes: confused? you bet!


MOFF,

who do you think invented Chocolate Covered Cherries?

[emily_the_spoiled]

It has been awhile since I have dropped in but I see that nothing has changed in the mean time :rolleyes: but that is a good thing :D

Laurie, if you don't mind I will join you in a glass (or two or maybe more) of champagne. But I think I will pass on any fruit kabobs that Mario has put together...

[lbaker]

Why Cheryl! There is no such thing as MEAN time at Thursdays, we are much too sweet and innocent to be mean :rolleyes: :eek: :D Let me move over in this champagne glass and you are welcome to join me ;)

[davidpizzica]

Hi, gang! My voice is close to normal today, it's a little sore but not like it was! RICHARD, do you have some eggnog on hand? It'll coat the vocal cords, and after a while I can lead everyone in some Christmas carols.

[emily_the_spoiled]

Thanks for the room on the couch.

I never said the cyber bar was mean, but you are a bad influence on those of us who are "young and naive" ;) ;)

[RICHARD]

Oh,
That must make us Old and Worldly!!!!

Some Champagne for the Younguns in the back.... :p ;)

David,
Glad to see you feeling better!

One Nog Du Egg!

DONE!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey everybody. :)

Is it really Wednesday already? Gee, the days just blend into each other when you don't have to go to work.

I think I'll just take a cup of hot lemon tea with a drop of brandy in it for now. It's still freezing cold here. Supposed to have a heat wave tomorrow - in the low 30's - woo hoo, break out the bikinis! (yeah, right :rolleyes: ) So if winter comes in like a lion, will it go out like a lamb?

Nice fire Karen, it looks so pretty with all the xmas decorations around here - so festive!

Think I'll just join Slick on the couch for awhile.......Slick, like Richard says, autopilot is a good thing, just make sure your landing gear is down so you don't crash. In the meantime, come snuggle close and put your head on my shoulder, they're strong.

Debbie,

No crashing here, Just a landing with lots and lots of sparks!!!! ;)

One lemon tea with a little brandy...

Done!


Next weekend I will tell everyone the story of "DONE"....


It's nothing mysterious, but it started about 1983....I should have trademarked it... :rolleyes:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

MOFF,

who do you think invented Chocolate Covered Cherries?
Gosh, you would think I would have known THAT!!! :D

How about a refill on the cherry limeade and the cnt's? :D

[RICHARD]

Gosh, you would think I would have known THAT!!! :D

How about a refill on the cherry limeade and the cnt's? :D

LOL,

It's in the 2006 Thursday's Trivia book!!

A refill coming right up......

DONE!



HEY DOR....ORC....HOW'S ABOUT SOME WOOD IN HERE?

And don't give me attitude....you are on thin ice still...


Damn hired help.... :eek: :mad: :rolleyes:

[Lady's Human]

Richard,

Hows about a LARGE Irish coffee, heavy on the irish, light on the coffee?

I have to go christmas shopping tomorrow, so I need to get in the right spirits!

I'm taking the baseball bat with me to teach the orc how to bring in firewood, Lady, Mario, can I get a little help here?

[RICHARD]

Why not ask Johnny D. to teach him? Batting practice and manners at the same time? You figure Damon don't need the money! :eek: :rolleyes: :mad:

Large Irish, small columbian?

DONE!

Do me a favor and turn off the RUDE-O-METER or leave it at home?
I went into a drug store and almost pulled my hair out. :eek:

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, could you use an orc-sitter?? I'll volunteer to watch him so that he doesn't get into too much mischief! Meanwhile I can use another dose, I mean, another order of eggnog? The last one was SOOOOO good!

[RICHARD]

If you and LH take turns.....I think that would be OK, until Johhny Damon shows up?!?!?!?!?

Just as long as I don't have to sing, I got tossed out of the second grade Christmas pagaent...


DONE?

[RedHedd]

The Thursday trivia book? Guess we'll park that one on the PT bookshelf right next to the Furminology dictionary! :D

The AC is still broken in our office. It's 65 balmy degrees outside, albeit a rainy-balmy :rolleyes: :p and about 90 here in the office. :eek: So a REALLY COLD iced CNT would suit me just fine! Top it off with a sprig o' holly :) Has the caroling started yet?

[emily_the_spoiled]

Well, RedHedd I will trade you ... my furnace died yesterday so I have NO heat at home right now. The one good thing was that the furry gang was REAL cuddly last night and everyone wanted to sleep under the blankets.

Richard, I think I will have an Irish Coffee to warm me up (that first step out of the shower was "refreshing" this morning) and to help me keep my patience while waiting for the repair people :rolleyes:

[Corinna]

Good morning all I think I'll take a hot cocoa! We are having a terrible time with freezing rain. All the schools are closed, I'm on the way to the library so the dogs will be busy running the fence to day. Thankfully Tim is home today we have a lunch date with our daughter for her birthday lunch.

[davidpizzica]

Hi, RICHARD! I can go for an irish coffee myself today. It's 28 degrees in Pittsburgh right now with some of the snow starting to melt. I'm still coughing somewhat, but my voice is nearly normal (what is normal?) I can go to choir practice tonight!

I can't give any weather reports from Sunny California...so......


My Rude-o-meter already has shown the needle in the red zone.....on the freeway this morning!!

Who invented the "Cadillac Truck"??? :mad: :rolleyes: :confused:

Redd.

I put plenty of blankies on the bed...I woke up last night sweating!

One IT, with greenery on top1

DOne!

ETS,

Doncha love repair people?
You hate them when they are late-But oh so thankful when they leave!

One Cafe de Ireland!

DONE!

Corrina,
Please be careful driving around?

One hot cocoa..

DONE!

[lbaker]

I just back from a delish lunch with ETS (Legal Seafoods OH BOY), after she defrosted a bit of course! She is now on her way back home to wait for the furnace repair person (she's lucky to have found someone who could come over today). She says she's going to work from home this afternoon but how can you type with mittens on :confused: How are you doing today Slick? Can I get you something while I'm up?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

OOH, now I'm hungry! How about a big old hamburger and onion rings? and a cherry vanilla coke and 4 cnts? Want a "good meal" before I start on all the holiday "snack" food! ;) :D

[Corinna]

Thanks but in this stuff I do not drive hubby does. Looking like we are due for another freezing rain storm about 5pm to night. Yea I know your not allowed to mention the weather there , but I won't talk about the lack of poputlation here. :rolleyes:

[zippy-kat]

I'll sympathize with you ETS; we went 3 wks without a heater! We ended up having to buy a new one. (And of course during that time, we hit record breaking lows. Figures. lol)


I have a major case of the "I don't wannas" today - good thing it's a slow day at work.

Everyone ready for the holiday? Merry Christmas early! :)

[emily_the_spoiled]

I am hoping that I do not have to go that long! I am leaving for the Christmas holidays on Saturday and I would like to have some heat before then... I can survive during the day, but that first step out of the shower in the morning is the killer :rolleyes:

[catland]

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have the "all Christmas" radio station on to get into the mood. We just avoided a major freezing rain storm here earlier in the week - amazing how different life is when its 34 degrees out and not 31 degrees. :eek:

So now its just pouring down rain - ahh - Christmas in the Pacific Northwest. :rolleyes:

[slick]

Hi everyone! Just checking in for the day. Feeling a little blue today.....thank goodness I'm at work and can take my mind off things. Just read about Rocky....there's way too much sadness on PT lately. I've got to get up and shake off this mood. Oh Richard......where is that annoying guy??? ;) :D I need a good strong drink. Laurie, I'm going to call you on Saturday....hopefully you will be home and not gallivanting around with rich men at country clubs. ;)

[RICHARD]

Merry Christmas everyone.

So now its just pouring down rain - ahh - Christmas in the Pacific Northwest. :rolleyes:

Makes you long for a nice July in Lost Angeles, eh?

And A merry christmas back at ya!

ETS,
I know about being cold... :mad:


MOFF,

Thanks.....I am gonna fire up the BBQ and do some burgers and ribs..


one burger, onion rings a CVC and 4 cnts.....

Do you want an onion roll for your burger?


DONE!

David,

One Irish coffee for you! don't ask ME about normal....

DONE!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Please pray hard for me & the kids. See my thread under general.

[emily_the_spoiled]

Well the furnace repair person is here and he can fix it, I do not have to get a new one :D Who would have ever thought I would be happy with an unexpected $600 repair bill...but it is better than the $2500 for a new heat pump!

So keep up the Irish coffee until the heat is turned back on!

[Lady's Human]

Okay, Christmas shopping done (Sorry, but I borrowed the orc to help with the crowds, he's back at work now)

One God's Blessing (for those of you who aren't Spider Robinson fans, that's an Irish Coffee), and I'll join whoever is on the couch. Anyone mind if I put in the George C Scott Christmas Carol again?

One big AAARRGH to the idiots who think that the highway is a place to drive like they're in NASCAR.........My truck doesn't stop as quickly as your little Hyundai, I hope whoever you are you need to go change your shorts!

[davidpizzica]

Hey LH, good idea using ORC for crowd control! I may have to borrow him! I heard him tossing the logs around outside. I like the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. A double eggnog for me, please!

[RICHARD]

lol,


The thought of an Orc in the backseat of a pickup would caiuse some kind of a traffic incident... :eek:


If you are off the road for the rest of the day you get a LARGE OGB.....I read Time pressure (?) years ago.....I'll have to look back into that author. Thanks for the tip!

ETS, I always look at a repair bill as a donation to a college fund! :rolleyes:


MOFF,
If you asked for PT Prayers you will probably get them!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Could I just get a 7 up? My tummy is upset. I wonder if life will ever be "normal" again. I'm hoping God has a nice house picked out for me and will help me find it and get there. It will take a miracle to get me and the cats moved. But this is the season of miracles, eh? ;)

Chicken that I am, I'm afraid to get off the Internet because then my phone line will be free for her to call and scream at me some more. My blood pressure and tummy just can't take any more today. :(

[Lady's Human]

Richard, try starting with "Callahan's Cross Time Saloon"

You'll love Ralph Von Wau Wau

One 7-up for you .....

DONE!

One parting shot when you move out.....

Tell her this, and yes you can tell her I SAID IT..


"YOU CHEAP BIATCH, If you had fixed the sewer the electricians would NOT have turned your SCROOGE ARSE in to the city...IF that don't work give me her number.....

IT's all her fault not yours.....the city will condemn the property and she is out of the rent she would get had you stayed.

She's always telling me it's HER house when I would get something fixed so that's what I told her. The plumber's must not have called and gave her the bad news yet because she hasn't called and screamed at me lately. Of course, I am on the Net. Sometimes dial up is a good thing! ;)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

MOFF, check into any renter's rights organizations in your town. Sounds to me like finding a new place to live might be a blessing in disguise. Any landlord should be thrilled to have someone like you who pays her rent on time every month and doesn't cause problems. She will realize how good she had it with you once you're gone.

How 'bout some eggnog bartender....which, for some odd reason reminds me....thanks Richard! I opened your card in the car while Terry and I were on our way to a movie, so I had to explain why there was a dollar in it....and also what the picture of the ring was for......thanks. :p :D

[slick]

Good morning everyone! Yipee! We only have to work a half day today....guess you all do too???

MOFF: How about packing up your stuff and moving in with me? ;) I'm so sorry that you are having such trouble and you know that we are all praying for you. As others have said, all things happen for a reason and I do believe that there is another house just waiting for you. As for what Debbie said, I was thinking the same thing. Here: http://www.hud.gov/local/ks/renting/tenantrights.cfm Will this help you?

There are four bottles of Baileys on the counter and I've put some fresh coffee on. Help youselves and I'll check back later.
{{{hugs}}} to all.
xoxo

[Randi]

Good afternoon all, and Merry Christmas! :)

MOFF, I'm sorry to hear about your housing situation. :( Something's gotta be done!! :mad: Take Debbie's advice and contact some renter's rights organization - look into the link Slick posted. I wish you the best of luck!! I'll try to send you the mail again, MOFF!

I'm been busy nonstop all day, so I could do with a drink now .... can't decide what, so you just pour what you think fit. ;) Fister is now blocking my view .... almost, but it's cosy to have him here in front of the screen. :)

Edit: LOL ! Fister just managed to scroll down for me. I should train him to hit the backbotton too - or even go to next page! :D

R, could you PM me your e-mail address, please?

[Corinna]

Moff sorry to hear of the move I understand after 11 years 4 of us moving ekks it was major cleaning session.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Barkeep, please keep the 7 up coming. That seems to be the only thing I can keep down.

No irrate calls yet from the landlady which tells me the plumbers haven't given her the "good news" yet.

Thanks for all the support everyone. Going through this alone is the pits. :(

[RICHARD]

Moff sorry to hear of the move I understand after 11 years 4 of us moving ekks it was major cleaning session.

I don't want to know what I'D have to move. :rolleyes:

Randi,

T&P,

[RedHedd]

No some of us have to work all day :p Yup, some of us do. Danged attorneys! Some are nice, like the one who's on his holiday today, but the other one .... :rolleyes: has to have someone served with a lawsuit the day before Xmas! There otter be a law! Even the process server is grumbling, but they will get it done. Bah Humbug and a lump o' coal in her stocking!

Barkeep, I'll have a nog-less nog. :)

[RICHARD]

Barkeep, I'll have a nog-less nog. :)

You got it...Coal?

That's way to expensive to give away....

I say give them what they use to heat and cook with in Tibet...

Yak poop!

{{HUGS}} You're not alone, you have us!
I wish there was something I could (physically) do to help you out. :(


Greetings to all - happy pre-Christmas Eve!
I only (thankfully) had to work 1/2 a day and as soon as lunch is done, I'm going shoe shopping.

It's a blustery day here - suppose to make it into the 80s but doubt that it does. Feel free to send snow my way; I wanted a white Christmas, dangit!

Barkeep, a white xmas, please?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

We have a member of the 12k Club amongst us.....
Let me introduce T&P's Mom........


What!?!?! :eek: Me, I've got over 12,000 posts? Gee, I didn't even notice. :o

Thanks Richard, thanks everyone. Another non-nogless nog for me please.

Had a good day today, and got news the motorhome will be ready in the morning. So we're up at 5:00 am, leave at 6:00 am to get there by 7:30 am which means we can be on our way by 9:30 am at the latest. Yes, we decided to still head to Florida, but the panhandle instead of the Keys. So....we'll see how far we make it this time. :rolleyes: If it breaks down again I'm going to just leave it sit on the side of the road and drive the Tracker home. ;) :)

Slick, hope you had a nice afternoon off. :) MOFF, maybe she knows the news but is finally realizing she's going to have to do something if she wants to continue to rent the place out. Zippy, we're supposed to have flurries tomorrow night so if you can make it here before then.... ;)

Don't know when I'll be able to check in again so just wanted to say Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

MERRY CHRISTMAS to the Whole Gang!

[Lady's Human]

'Twas the night after thursday # 138
And the Bartender's tired,
His patrons are up late.


Whew! Santa's done with his shopping (Never trust that everything you ordered is IN the box)

Lady's passed out on the couch. (I think she's finally getting used to Mario, and vice versa)

T+P, good luck with the trip, I should have piped up earlier about the Hydraulic fluid viscosity, but Phred beat me to it. Hopefully everything's in order, driving back in the tracker would be a big disappointment.

Zippy, I'd mail you a box of snow, but it would be melted by the time it got to you! :D

[lbaker]

MOFF, Zipster is right (of course) none of us will ever have to "go it alone" as long as we are here, pulling strings with "the Big Guy" and holding each other up. Congrats Debbie and safe and laughing trip and holiday to you! RICHARD, what kind of mischief are you getting our mascots into now?? HI PHRED!! How's tricks? Can I get you some broccoli? :p Oh, well how about some fruit kabobs? *sorry, just want to keep you around a while* ;) Love to you all and I'll check in this evening. We can sit around the fire and sip warm comfort and smile at each other waiting for Sandy Paws and the sleigh bells!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING EVERYONE!!!

I'm feeling a bit perkier today. I posted why on my prayer thread!

I even managed to eat some veggie soup and a marshmallow last night (not together so don't go YUCK). I may even try eating again today!!! ;)

Still need the 7 up though. Do you have it in gallon buckets? :D

[zippy-kat]

LoL! Thanks for all the snow offers... maybe if ya'll put it in zippy-lock bags and packed it in dry ice? (What is dry ice even used for? I know we used to get it at Halloween because it "smoked.") Aw well, it's the thought that counts! ;)

Funny story about "gallon buckets"....
Thursday night, a budget truck pulled up in front of our house and the UPS man delivered a package. (You heard that right; this year, the UPS men are driving budget trucks for some reason.)

We didn't recognize the sender and as it was addressed to dad, had to wait for him to get out of the shower to open it. Open it he did, and pulls out a gallon of Aloe Vera multi-purpose stuff! :eek: So, um... thanks to someone (still not sure who) for a gallon of Aloe Vera! lol

Good morning everyone! Didn't sleep much last night....on the phone to Randi at 3am....on the phone to Chris at 7am....tried to call Laurie at after that....went back to bed at 8am....now I have to get my butt in gear.

Heading on down to the post office to mail a few things to Pet Talkers... :o Gee, I guess it won't get there for Christmas. Duh!!!!

The weather here is nothing short of nasty. It's pouring buckets (sorry Zip... :D ) and it's one of those days where you don't want to get out of bed.

MOFF: I'm glad to see that you are a bit better. I'll check out the thread. Big {{{hugs}}} to you my friend.

One Spanish Coffee for the road please Richard. Well, actually the road doesn't drink so I'll have it for him.....

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!! Don't forget the milk and cookies for Santa.

NOT me! :)

Wonder if one of Dad's "Business Associates" sent the stuff?
MY Dad used to get "Gag Gifts" from some of his "Buddies" ...
some rather *Strange Stuff* got passed around! They often RE-gifted to
someone else the following year if it was really something memorable. :p

UPS GUY in a Budget Rental Ride???

YUP!
"HE" was probably a "Seasonal Extra Driver" ...
and when UPS runs low on "The Big Brown Trucks" -
they RENT extra Trucks, too.

:)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA!!!

WHAT A FINE SLEIGHFUL OF ELVES YOU HAVE THIS YEAR!!!! :D

[Corinna]

Good morning gang, I'm so busyy baking more stuff to take tomorrow to daughters as much as I'm taking I should have just had her bring her turkey here.
Merry Christmas to all and don't have too much cheer and then get on the road.
Richard you need Glacier to give you and that team a few lessions.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

"HE" was probably a "Seasonal Extra Driver" ...
and when UPS runs low on "The Big Brown Trucks" -
they RENT extra Trucks, too.

Heard the other night on the news that UPS had to rent 7,000 trucks for the Christmas season - 7,000 trucks!!!! :eek: And that doesn't count the extra drivers they had to hire to drive those trucks.

Just checking in quick - got a signal that goes in and out at will. We're about to the KY/TN state line on I-24. Everything is good with the motorhome.....so far. ;) CJ has even settled down and is napping quietly with only spurts of meowing. Guess life is good again. :D

Hope you all have a very very merry Christmas. Stay safe and stay healthy! :)

[RICHARD]

MOFF and Corinna.......
