Thursdays #165 - drinks are on me!

Redhedd, it was the Comcast toolbar. I quickly realized that they verify every single site you enter. And I also quickly realized that they posted nearly everything as NOT VERIFIED AS SAFE. Now that included such mundane things as Dictionary.com - The Breast Cancer site - and of course, Pet Talk. However purging the toolbar didn't solve the problem - so I had to get on the mandatory hour phone call and then email the Blacklist people to get it straightened out. Comcast did admit that they were receiving a lot of complaints about their toolbar. (hello?????)

Since I am venting - my bill from Comcast is in my ex-husbands name. But when I called to change it - they demanded that I go into their offices with my divorce papers. That was nine years ago - I have just been paying the bill every month. I didn't really think that my divorce papers were any of their business.

Oh, but on to Randi - congratulations on the job. Gosh, I hope it is something that you will be happy doing.

MOFF, mmmm, I feel for you ..........no car is no fun! I wish we had a Thursdays trust fund and could just buy you another one.

Redhedd, congrats on the good review. I hope a good raise is in your future.

I am still swaggering around with the Blacklist title - do I have a black dot on my forehead?

More Baileys she demands!!!!

Gini....I am envious..... to be on a blacklist! Do you suppose homeland security has anything to do with it?

Wow - Gini blacklisted - I feel like I know a celebrity now. Hmm - Homeland Security - that's an interesting theory - they aren't nearly as cute as the haz-mat guys but I bet we could invite them to Thursdays and maybe get them to spill their secrets.

I'll see how those ribs are doing and we can have lunch here anytime.

Gosh, how do you get supplies and things?

Our bus is like a taxi in that they come right to the house but it's such a pain trying to bring kitty litter and stuff home. I dread the day I may have to take them to the vet. That clanky bus will freak them out.

I've never not have a car since I could drive. My life just gets harder and harder. I'll just sit here and cry in my cvc for a while. :(

tsk.....tsk....tsk
Gini, Gini, Gini. **shakes head** You sure learned your lesson didn't you?? So sorry you had to go through all of that. :( You could have just asked me.. ;)

Toolbars are a big NO NO in the IT world (whether they come from your ISP or not), especially that thing called Hotbar. Bad, bad stuff to put on your computer. The only toolbar that I use is the Goggle toolbar. Anything else is just spyware as far as I'm concerned. While I'm on the subject, you know all those silly little smilies you can download?? Not a good thing either because they also install spyware unbeknownst to you. OK, I'm stepping off my IT soapbox now.

MOFF, I'm so sorry to hear about your car. I know how inconvenient it is to not have one. To echo Gini, yes I wish there was a PT fund available so we could sneak a new one into you driveway. ;)

Hello to everyone else. I wish we could move Thursdays up here to KA-NA-DA. The weather is superb and we are supposed to get up to 25 today and 29 on the weekend. For those of you south of the border, just double it and add 30 and you'll get your approx. equivalent in Fair-in-height. :p

I've got a busy day so probably won't have a chance to check in again so bartender......could you just load up my desk with a few pitchers of slushies and a big platter of them finger-lickin' ribs and I'll be on my way? Ta!

Happy Friday everyone.

MOFF, I go shopping on my bike! Not fun in the winter though. I do have a basket in front, and a baggage thing in the back to put stuff. ;) Will post a picture one day.

Can I have another G & T, please? Cheers! :D

Slick! Slow down!!

Randi - one G&T - done.

Slick - we're getting the same weather - just a bit hotter for us but I'm ready for it. I should have some very long, hot cats by Monday.

Momo - I know there's not much I can say to cheer you up - One Big CVC with lots of ice - Done.

So, for next week - I think we should invent a brand-new Thursday's drink. I don't know what the ingredients should be yet - but I know of a catchy name, we can call it "the blacklist". :cool: :rolleyes:

Catland, that's brilliant!!! THE BLACKLIST I'll make one now if you want to sample it with me ;) It's actually a shooter with white creme de cacao, Balaton or Morello cherry juice (look at Mario's eyes light up :p ), heavy cream and a wee bit of shaved chocolate over the top :cool: All highly chilled of course :cool:

That sounds like a good drink! One of the most unusual shooters I ever had was called a B-52. It was MANY years ago but I think it was chocolate creamy liqueur and grenadine in a shot glass.

Actually, I think a B-52 is Kahlua, Grand Marnier and Baileys... carefully layered in a shot glass. I ordered one in San Francisco not long ago and the bartender gave it to me in a large mug of coffee DELICIOUS!!

lb - that blacklist is yummy - a couple more of those and I'll join Mario and swing from the trees. :eek:

Smokey - your B52 sounds like a winner too - we could have a good contest here.

Starting to wind down now on this very warm Friday afternoon. We had a new boss start this week (actually it's my boss's new boss). Finally we have someone with lots of people skills....someone who's actually approachable. Seems like a nice guy although I could be his mother. :rolleyes:

So here are my empty pitchers back and thanks for the rib sticklers.....

Shooters...haven't done them in decades. Laurie, that Blacklist does sound good though. Worth a try if it's not too sweet.

Catland: I have to chuckle.....Momo.....cute name for MOFF. Think I'll stick with it of MOFF doesn't mind. :D

Only two hours to go and I'm off for the weekend. Have a good one everyone. :)

I don't mind but Momo is the name of an aminal with long ears (a lemer I think) on the catoon the Avatar on Nickolodean channel.

He's cute though so I don't mind sharing his name. I insist my tail is not as long as his and you will never see me swinging from it!!! :eek: :D

Look who I found? Okay, Lady and Mario helped. The little now-almost-all-orange fluffy one! In true kitten fashion, he had found a dusty corner to roll around in and get completely dusty, but with a good damp brushing (sigh, no, Lady, don't need doggie help with this, yes, I KNOW you can do the damp part really well) he's back and purring.

And because this is Thursday's and things is hypoallergenic (as well as non-caloric and non-fattening) can I get a big cold glass of lemonade?

Oh thank you! You have found my fluffy orange/blue hypoallergenic kitten!!! Lady didn't eat him! I'm so pleased. Cold lemonade all round please! :D

KK and Karen - cold lemonade all around - done.

Momo/Slick - in my getting used to cyber names I didn't realize that momofuzzyfaces meant mom-of-fuzzy-faces - and I always thought of her as momo. In my little mind the name stuck. ;)

one good weekend - DONE :D

Sure!!

Remember that mouse and that elephant who went simming together?
Well, the elephant went in a cabin to put on the swimming suit.
Then he yelled: "Hey mouse, I need your help here! I tried to puit on that swimming short of you, but I am stuck, cause I put 2 legs into the same leg opening.... :D "

I am soooooo thirsty! How about an icecold lemon tea, please?
