thursday #48!

'morning everybody. :) Sun is shining brightly here too, now if the heat would only join it. ;) I know, I know, it's always cooler by the lake, but a few degrees would sure be nice.

It's funny, I'm really feeling kinda crappy today, but I'm in a really good mood. Usually those two don't go together. :confused: So I'm trying to concentrate on the good mood and forget the feeling crappy part.

I think Miss M's idea of champagne sounds wonderful. I haven't had champagne in years and years and years! My best friend, who moved to a different state when we were about 25 or so, and I would always have to have some pink champagne whenever she came home or I went to visit her. It got to be a tradition, until one year she decided she didn't like champagne anymore. Now she lives in Seattle and is a wine coniseur (sp?) but still doesn't like champagne. :confused:

Anyway, Laurie, I hope you're feeling better, Corinna I'm jealous of your sunburn and so far I haven't been "taken" by any April Foolers.....so far. ;) :D

I'm in a bah humbug mood today. Don't really know why, though. So, the champagne sounds like just the trick! Although, got to be careful since I'm at work. Ever had orange juice and champagne? I've always wondered what it tasted like together.

tasty!

DONE!

Logan,

DONE!

I got taken by a radio station this morning!

And I got a nice sunburn on Sat and Sun splitting wood!! It itches now!!:eek:

Good morning to you all too! It is overcast and blah here. I think the only day that is ALWAYS sunny is New Year's Day.

The whole world watches the Rose Bowl parade and the game and think that it is always like that here. And then they move here!!!

Laurie, that sounds like a good solution for Charlie. I have a lot of squirrels in my back yard and even though I don't speak "squirrel" - they sure sound as though they are saying pretty nasty stuff to Annie and Emma. Annie and Emma think that it is only a matter of time before they catch one. Rascal being older and wiser just sleeps through these confrontations.

I could swear that these squirrels are sticking out their tongues and taunting the kitties.

Fish faces? You guys are eating fish faces? It must be an April Fool's joke. But sometimes, I think that I am the April Fool!:D

Richard? Why is my name on the bathroom wall with my phone number below it?

Yes, I want a drink! To drink? I guess the DOTD sounds good for starters.

Can you imagine if this wasn't a cyber bar and we were really all having alcohol early in the morning? The word would get out - don't hire those Pet Talker's. They are a lot of fun but don't get much work done.

Here is to a great day for all of us!

Richard, I think you and my dad would get along great - his favorite past time is cutting wood. They even bought another 10 acres of woods behind their house just so my dad would have something to do now that he's retired. ;) :D Ok, ok, so that's not why they bought it, but it sure comes in handy except now that it's spring the ground is way too mushy for him to get much done - so he rambles around the house aimlessly until the ground dries out. ;) :D And yes, when we were kids we each had our own axes, each with a different length handle depending on our size, and each painted a different color - how sweet and oh how we hated it. ;) :D

The radio station didn't get me because I know they do something every year so I'm prepared for it now. :rolleyes:

I'll have more champagne please. The boss is on his way in so my free time today is coming to an end. Have to enjoy it while I can. :(

LOL

As you all know I work for **ahem** a charitable org that shall be nameless......

I showed up for work last year with a really bad sunburn that I got from the dog wash in July........

Everyone kept putting skin cancer pamphlets on my desk .
Don't forget the sunscreen everyone.

Richard, you were taken in, taken out, or kidnapped????:D

oh yeha! do any of you guys like soy milk? i just tried some on my cereal and it was gross it tasted like flavored water. maybe it was just this brand.

---

NOPE! Wasn't just that brand. It all tastes like barf! I think plain water would be better.

Gosh, it's April 1st already?
YIKES!!! That means this week end we in the states (well most of us) get to FORFIT an hour sleep as we commence the yearly insanity of DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!!!!
(Why DO they call it that since we LOSE time?)

I need a humongous cherry root beer and lots of hot onion rings! (PLEASE?)
;) :D

As if I know.....;)

DONE!

T&P,


lol, My dad split wood until he was 77!
He never bought me my own ax tho...

It kept him young....We have some guys drop off the wood, we rent a wood splitter and go to town.

We split about two cords over the weekend.

Champagne?
DONE!

Slick,

I don't remember!

MOFF,

Yep it's the first!

Cherry root beer, onion rings and catnip tea???

DONE!

The kids say thanks for their tea. You should hear the slurping! Could drive a person nuts!

Where's Mario today? He's been awfully quiet ever since we cleaned out the L&F. Did someone get rid of something of his?

Come on Mario! I'll share my onion rings with you!:D

Mario is in the bathroom writing everyone's name and phone number on the walls.

What are we going to do with that boy? Come on Mario, MOFF has some onion rings for you! That's a good boy!

I am very tired, I don't know why either. I think I need something to perk me up, or knock me out. I think I would rather have something to knock me out. Would a Hot Buttered Rum, with extra Rum work for that!?

Don't worry about Mario, he is kind of mad at me, because I told him to quit wiping his food all over the window! He keeps me busy washing the bananas and other of his favorite foods off the windows! Yuk! I can't see out my windows most of the time!

Gini, have you seen your count?????? 23 more to go and you hit 4,000!!!!!!

Rent??? Did you say you RENT a wood splitter? Geesh, my dad couldn't afford to buy one way back then so he BUILT one! :rolleyes: Although, I do remember being thrilled because that eliminated us having to use the mallet and wood splitters (the things that look like railroad spikes) to split the wood. Now all we had to do was HAUL it. I don't remember which was worse, splitting or hauling. :rolleyes: ;) :D I agree though, keeps 'em young, gives 'em something to do, and now that we're the recipients of some of the wood (we bring it along in the motorhome) I actually wouldn't mind going to help some weekend....hasn't happened yet, but I wouldn't mind. ;) Funny, I thought my dad was one of a kind when it came to wood splitting, but I guess he's got company. ;) :D

I rent a wood splitter about once a year. Actually it's not a big deal because they're hydrolic and not much work to split the logs. It's kinda fun. The real work is rolling the big logs into position and then humping the split wood over to the wood pile. My late husband used to work for a tree company so we always had plenty of wood to get us through the winter. Now my son & I have to put some effort in just finding wood to split. Worth it though when you look at how much it costs to get someone to deliver already split wood.

LOLOLOLOLOL,

MY dad built his own too...

He took ill before he finished it.:( the frame work is still in the backyard.....

There is something satisfying about putting up wood for a fire....


Edward loves the idea!

:rolleyes: :D

And the most satisfying part is when you have that nice warm crackling fire to put your feet up to. :D

So where is everybody? Guess I'll start the cleanup. I know Slick is closed in her bedroom with Max. Slick, maybe if you s-q-e-e-z-e him, right near his bladder, next time he actually steps in the LB? ;)

Mario, can you hand me that dish rag please, I've got a few champagne glasses to clean up.....

Wait, I will help you! But look, isn't that some champagne left in that bottle in the fridge - and there is orange juice to go with it.

What the heck, it is Friday and a little Mimosa in the morning sounds just fine to me.

Usually it is so messy here - it doesn't look too bad this morning.

Did you hear a rustling in the wood pile? Hmmm, what could that be? Mario hears it too.

Maybe it's Pandy looking for fallen squirels? That mimosa sounds like just what the Dr ordered. I'll get another bottle of champagne out of the wine cellar ;)

EEEeeekkk! What in the world was that? :eek: It just jumped out of the wood pile and headed right for the L & F! Sure was no mouse or anything, course if it came out of the L & F to begin with who knows wat sort of poor morphidite creature it is.

Laurie, got that new bottle open yet? I'll have some please. Here, just pour it in this glass I just wiped out - thanks.

I know Gini, usually this place is a nightmare the next morning. Must have been a pretty quiet evening.

Just about lunch time here....hmmmm...what sounds good......

Sorry for not checking in sooner. Work is still not going very well.....but I'm breathing.....14 more years to until retirement :)

Anyway, check Cat Health. There is a Max update.

I need a drink please. Anything tall and strong. Thanks. Now, off to my next task.

Now there are scratching noises coming from the L & F.

And it does not sound like a squirrel, or Pandy and the hair on Mario's back is standing straight up!

So much for a nice calm Friday!

Can we please have a toast to those pets who have recently taken the northbound train to the RB; Bodo, Ginger and others. To the owners, we feel your pain.

I agree slick, a toast would be in order! Safe trip to Rainbow Brige, Ginger, Bodo and all the other beloved pets who have passed this week.

Willie

Here, here! :(

And here's to all the "small" things in the world - like having a cat pee for you. ;) :D

Small is a word that does not belong in that sentence, especially when talking about 'male'
cats....;)

Tray,

What are you laughing at????
;)

DONE!

Men and their pride, and thats cats included! When Stubby was just a little fellow, he started admiring his pride a little too much. A little trip to the vets and he just didn't care anymore. Of course, he is still mad at me for that decision. Hmmm and its been about fours years ago. Will he ever forgive me??;)

Pssssssttttt: Size isn't everything

Lunchtime here. May I have a beer to go along with my wonderful, tasty deep-dish chicken pie with big chunks of white chicken breast, peas, beans, carrots, potatoes; all topped off with a light flaky crust. MMMMMMMMMMM

Well this is only my 2nd time here to Thursdays . But I'm crying in my beer, (I hate my job and everyone there) so I want a new drink. It's too watered down now.
I know, I know, my job isn't any worse than anyone elses, but to me it is.
So... since I serve drinks for a living, maybe I'll have food instead. An extra fatty, juicy burger with greasy fries please and a shake, any kind, but not choc. Maybe use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk. :-)
Thanks Katz

One Beer....

There's no Crying at Thursdays!!!!

Jobs are the things we do to keep from being unemployed....

One fatty, juicy, greasy, artery clogging, heart stopping burger and fries, with a vanilla shake...

Give Mario a few fries.....he'll make you laugh!

DONE!


Slick,

One beer!

DONE!

Tray,

lolol,

Poor Stubby, I think us men are fixated on 'things'......I start to type, 'fuzzy pirate'
and it wants to come out as 'fuzzy priva....'

Fergetaboutit!

DONE!

Richard, I'm trying to imagine the sentence you were about to type where you would need the words "fuzzy pirate" Consider my mind boggled thank you very much ;)

Hi Katz and welcome to Dick's Place. Ooooops, let me get you some more napkins; you've got burger juice running down your arm. If you're not careful, Mario will lick it up and he's on a low-fat diet now.:D.

Forget about all your work troubles when you are here. This is a place for relaxation and fun. :)

Yum. You get used to the taste (different brands taste different too) and your body loves you for not putting cow hormones in it. Mishi fights me for my cereal soy-milk every day. I tried giving him a bowl all to himself, but NOOOOOOOOOOO, it tastes SO much better if it comes from meowmie's cereal bowl; even better if he can get at it WHILE I'm trying to eat breakfast. It's now become our daily ritual with him begging for my cereal milk with his plaintive meows and me putting extra milk in my cereal to make sure I have some left for him; he licks the bowl clean. Starts my day off with a smile, my silly main goon kitty :rolleyes: :p

Slick, have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean? If not, you really must. It's really a sort of silly movie, but...what's his name...Edward Scissorhands....plays a good part. Johnny Depp! I knew I knew his name. :rolleyes: getting old and losing your memory is really no fun :rolleyes: :( :D

I've been meaning to try soy milk....haven't gotten around to it yet. I love regular milk but it doesn't like me. :(

I'm on otta here, so you guys have a great weekend! Terry's heading to Germany tomorrow, so maybe, hopefully, I'll have time to check in once or twice this weekend, if not, see you all Monday! :D
