Thursday 127, A 'Homely' Thread??

Home, home on the range
Where Rascal, Emma and Annie all play
Where the house starts to teeter
With the water from the heater
And the plumber comes and spends the whole day.
------------------------------
THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE STARTED THIS THREAD...


First I want to say that we have a theme for NEXT weeks thread.

It involves a time machine, school and ??????

Be prepared.

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

This week is dedicated to all the folks who know their plumber's , electrician's and gardener's and
handyman's phone numbers by heart.

I have to look up a DOTD... but I just wanted to open so we can all relax for a bit...

The plumber
The raker
The dry basement maker

Insurance men come
They all smile and nod
They aren't looking angry
Or snarling, my God!!

*shhhh, let's not wake Gini up... she deserves nice dreams*
Sweet Annie - our Hero Cat of the Day :)

Do you mean homely as in ugly ? :eek:

Could I get a big cherry vanilla coke, four catnip teas and lots of crossed fingers for me? I go get the BP checked tomorrow morning.

Sure hope it's down. I don't think I can take a third BP pill. I can hardly stay awake now. :(

Is Mario redecorating the bar this month? :D

Does having my building manager's phone number on speed dial count? I don't know anyone's number anymore! I just push buttons! :p

I found out the other day that for the past 6 months, I was living on top of a natural gas leak :eek: !

The gas company says the whole building gets a refund, due to the error. I'm really glad now that we got evicted! I found out though that the management place is trying to rent out the building again :mad: . Somehow that should be illigal.

Anyway...three CNTs and a double whatever for me...I'm feeling a bit under the weather today.

Hmmm....I wonder if anyone knows the number for a good electrical contractor? My doorbell at work hasn't worked in about a year now.... :rolleyes:

I'll just join Gini in finishing off the green slushies. Haven't had one in a while and I think I'm going through withdrawals.

(FYI - I work for an electrical contractor!) :rolleyes: (I believe it's a case of the shoemakers kids going barefoot.....)

My wife knows the number to the plumber/electrician/carpenter/etc. maintenance person by heart. It's my cell phone number if I'm not home, or "Dear, the ______ isn't working right, can you fix it?"

I'll take an irish coffee, should go REAL well with the flexoril and naproxen I just took.

LOLOL,

Good one!

Cyber booze is quite alright taken in conjunction with any prescription medicines.

Irish coffee, heavy on the Irish, easy on the Columbian...DONE!

T&P,
Electrical contractor??

And THANKS AGAIN!

What a shocking revelation..My dad made bricks and we lived in a wood house..go figure... ;)
Slushies? DONE!!


DJ,

WHAT?????? LUcky you.

CNT and a double slushie...DONE!

Hi Redd.

Buy you a B-day drink?
DONE!


MOFF,

I meant as in Homely good!!
A CVC, 4 Cnts and everything crossed.....do not worry everything will be alright.

Remember, your BP is always normal at Thursdays!
DONE!


Laurie, I talked to the Ginster yesterday. She was in remarkably good spirits!
She was still woozy from the firemen at her door. ;)

Hehe! Me and the hubby both do that to each other, depending on what the issue is. We've both have lived in places where things need to be fixed and we've just kind of learned what works and what doesnt (most often the most difficult way!)

I'll have another slushie, in observance of the best part of the day...

5pm!! :D

Anything on DOTD yet? Whatever it is, I'll take one. It will help work be a little easier. I don't know any handmen's phone number but I wouldn't mind a fireman stopping by to see me, as long as it wasn't business!!

I'm ready for a drink!

Sometimes I'm thankful I rent, I just call the landlord.

Since Richard is AWOL, I've taken it upon myself to pick the drink of the day. It has to do with plumbers. Taken from idrink.com

2000 Plumbers
Ingredients: 0.5 oz Lemon Lime Soda
0.5 oz Blue Curacao
0.5 oz Lemonade
0.5 oz Spiced Rum
0.5 oz Mango Rum

Directions: Combine the Captain Morgan Original spiced rum and Parrot Bay mango rum in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Add the blue curacao, shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Add Sprite and lemonade, and serve.

Enjoy everyone! I will serve doubles but you have to leave your car keys with Mario. Good luck on that one!

LOL! It's supposed to be called 2000 flushes. I really had plumbers on the brain.

Richard, you'll be happy to know that I went to my mechanic and said "my friend Richard said I should ask for four of those round black rubber things." He handed me 4 washers. :rolleyes: :D Got a great deal on four Firestone Destination LE tires and now my truck rides like a limo. Set me back quite a penny or two, but it's worth it. All the reviews I've read have been good and you can't put a price on safety.

Could sure use a slushie right about now. Anyone want to join me? Tomorrow at work will be just as busy today so won't have much PT time...must make the most of it now.

Hi to everyone!

I wouldn't mind having a slushie. Been in Nashville all day, and could use one.

Did somebody say Mario is redecorating?!

How are you all doing tonight? Hope all are okay.

Willie :)

I see you two aren't brave enough for the DOTD so here are your slushies. Mario is the Master of the Keys tonight for those of you wanting to stay a while. And I don't know what theme he has for decorating. Don't let him get into any paint.
