Get Your Kicks On Thursday 66!!

Here, I brought some store bought creams since it's taking Laurie forever to get the real stuff....I can understand though because she's doing the cousin Itt thing so no one recognizes that it's her doing the milking, so between that and getting that durned cow tail in her eyes....sorry Laurie, the first aid kit doesn't have anymore Visine in it....

Anyway, I'm happy to report that the boss hasn't been in yet - yippeee!!!! I do expect him this afternoon, but at least I was able to get an entire Lab done for school this morning. Now I guess I gotta pretend to work again for awhile. :rolleyes:

DDM, wow, what a stressful day you're having - hair done, nails done and lunch - sounds like my kind of day! :D

Richard, I want to know how I can get a job like your boss has. Is it a pre-requisite to have family in high places? If so, I'm otta luck. ;) :( :D

Enough coffee for me, I'm up for a...hmmm...should I have a red or a green slushie today?

Anybody seen Slick? Is she back to work yet or is that next week? If she's back to work, I don't envy her one bit. I've got a hard enough time coming back after two days off, much less a whole month off, much less a whole month off with a trip to CA thrown in for good measure!

Slick, you snot! You responded as I was typing! Sorry to hear about your bad news. Please don't feel like you have to keep it from us - we want to help you share the burden.

LAURIE'S BIRTHDAY IS ON SATURDAY????

WELL, NOW THAT CALLS FOR SOME SHENANIGANS!!!:D :D

uh oh *slips out barn door, trips over milk bucket* Squish... looks down... ewwwwww! Durn cow :mad:

Hmm, Laurie, did someone give you some perfume for your birthday?

It has that pungent, down-home fragrance.

And why are you telling this cow all of these jokes? Look at that cow, just rolling its big eyes at you!

Today, I'm working unfortunately. Saturday is the fun stuff.
Richard: I got the F350. I'm surely realising how much good mileage my Ranger did! But, I don't miss it. I LOVE Hank McTruck!
Slick: Sorry you had bad news
Laurie: Happy early birthday!

Oh, Oh! Mario has his cowboy hat on and his leather chaps and is heading toward the cow! Somebody stop him!!!!!:eek:

pst... Mario, that is a COW not a BULL!!! :D

Mario! Do you want me to bring Flair so you can have something to ride? He hasn't been ridden in ages so you might get an adventure anyway.
2 1/2 more hours and I'm finally free from work. Everyone must be getting busy........

I'm reading it, I'm reading it! I hear you both. You're very kind. How about another one of those coffees while I contemplate flight prices?

I think we're still waiting for this Dilbert story!

Hope you're OK Slick.

And to whomever is fixin' (as the Cali ppl know, I'm useless in the kitchen :o ), can I also have a small piece of raw hamburger for Matilda, cilantro for Piper, and a small piece of ham for Kissiekat? And please throw in a banana for my brave bunster boy who had a scary day at the vet yesterday! Thanks!!:)

A BLAZE for you,
raw hambuger, cilantro, ham and a nanner for the bunny..
Done!!

Slick,
Water for you
A toast.....

Hope all is well..
DONE!

T&P,

The job is cool, the moron working it isn't.....family? no it's not a prereq.

Don't worry laurie, I'll mop later on..

DDM,

I loved the 350 because I could stick my legs out the window while I rode shotgun!!


MOFF,
I think we all worry about Mario being Mario....
It's probably the cowboy movies he's been watching!!;)

KK,

Just think, our first European So Cal BBQ guest-
We'lll get you a crown and a sash....you have 11.5 months to
make up you mind....not that we are pressuring you!!:D
A blazer..DONE!

Who stepped in The........ OMG I'm glad cows can't fly. Man I thought Marios diapers in the L&F were bad.
I 'll take my usual diet lime please. Someone had better take those cap guns away from Mario. Mario don't you know we check arms at the door.
Merlin got a neat new toy and Bandana from Nebo yesterday so after his Bath at the dog wash today he got to wear it as we went shopping. He thinks hes just so cool.
Sorry to hear about lousy days at work , I have today and tommorrow off yaaaaa!!!!.

Guess what? MY surgery was posponed until the 18th! I had a very low potassium level and they didn't want to operate!! I did spend two days in the hospital getting pumped up with 14 units of potassium, the nurse said that it was the most ever given to a patient!!!

Give David a HUGE Banana Daiquiri right now!!!


David, I saw your other thread...........hang on......we are all here behind you and will see you through the next two weeks until the re-scheduled surgery!

Now get to work on those bananas in that drink:D :D

Is the bar still open?

I hate being late for a party! :D

I see a jug of half-empty slushies, some banana peels :confused: , Mario in his cowboy hat and not much else :eek:. Better start cleaning in preparation for lbaker's special day!

Happy birthday, Laurie! :D

I'll help you clear up Miss Meow. I'll float through my morning's work dreaming of my crown and sash ...

Excellent! Many hands make light work (and can open a bottle of champagne while we're scrubbing ;))

Oh how lovely! A glass of champagne! An excellent morning pick-me-up.

I'll second that KK - then probably third and forth too!! I think Marks and Sparks do a good range of off the peg sashes. D'you fancy a nice blue one? Very regal!! :D

What is that **smell**?? Laurie did what?!! OH good grief - it must be pre-birthday nerves!!!

Hi all - missed two weeks, so I'm in need of friendly faces and lots of drink and food!!!

I reckon David needs another Banana Daiquiri - one's never enough!

Gini - was the BBQ good? Where's the report - I can't find it!!!
I've only been online about 2 hours!

I'm really sorry that so many of you are having boss trouble - do what I did - retire! Seriously, I do understand how it can affect your health having a rotten boss. Let's all have another drink!

Errrrrr...................... what is Mario trying to do with that cow?

Lynne

An off the peg sash from M&S? Can't say I've ever spotted them! I remember them doing tiaras though.

The report of the barbeque is carried on in the same thread in "Meetings" that it was always in. It's practically 50 pages long and just designed to make us all GREEN! I have a friend who has been talking about buying a house in California for about 25 years. I think I'll have to start giving him a bit of encouragement.

Mario! I didn't realise you were still here. Don't you ever sleep?

Good morning all! I think I'll have some of that champagne with some orange juice. That ought to liven up work a little. Mario riding that cow was so funny! I'll really have to bring the horse for him next time. Riding cows just isn't quite as fun, although it is a lot more adventurous.

Wow, I certainly killed this thread :eek:

Hey now, don't be silly... West Coasters are probably still asleep and just about everyone takes a little time to get oriented on Friday's after such a goofy Thursday visit like yesterday. I was busy sqooozing oranges for the Mimosa's, would you like a glass of juz by itself? Freshly sqoozed? Of course being from the Sunshine State, fresh OJ is probably no big deal but I find it like a drink from the Sun itself ;) :cool:

I always love orange juice. Actually, we get it in the store like everyone. Now there is a place to go and get it fresh and boy is it good! I buy Florida's Natural. That's my very favorite. I forget a lot of people are on the west coast. It's 1141 here and I've been here since 645. Still got 2 hours until lunch and am getting hungry already.

yawn - oh - good morning - today I'm actually, as Slick would say, a wet coaster. Its raining here for the first time in two months - of course, this is the day of the cheesy company picnic. I tossed some parkas and extra umbrellas in my car. :rolleyes: Tomorrow is supposed to be nice again and Sunday is supposed to be down right hot.

Mario - can you come to the company picnic with me? You would be much more entertaining.:) lb - a mimosa sounds great. Real OJ doesn't seem to agree with me as much anymore but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy some cyber OJ:D

As Big Daddy would say
DONE
Hey DDMom, we have some Eastern Shore sweet corn just coming into town. Would you like me to whip up some fresh corn fritters for lunch? I'm getting hungry too. With or without maple syrup, corn fritters are sooooo yummy when fresh corn is used. mmmmm, good in cyber but even better for real. I know what I'M fixing for breakfast tomorrow :p

How did you know I loved those corn fritters?? I have never had some home made before. I'll bet they're even better. Didn't even know they existed until a few years ago. Someone at work was eating them and I asked what they were. I tried them and have been hooked ever since. They are so tasty.

Hooo boy, we better bring a bushel inside to shuck. When the others smell these fritters EVERYONE is going to want some! Mario's going to end up with corn silk everywhere I bet. He's going to look funny as a blonde :p

After my scary last two days, I can use a few of those banana drinks! I'm still shaking (geesh!)

DDMom and Catland, why don't you two hold David's hands while I get his banana drink and start the corn shucking. Easy does it David, a delay in your operation is just another bump in the road at this point. It will be OK... that's a PetTalk promise :)

Whoa.........she skids into the bar sideways

What is that on the floor?

If it wasn't for the odor of corn fritters frying I could swear I can smell......................(nah, it couldn't be)

I am going to whip up a cake for Laurie's birthday. Anyone want to help decorate it?

Fresh sqoozed oj and champagne? Now you are talking.

DDM - yeah, sometimes us left coasters get into the bar kinda late.........but we do stay later to clean up too.

Let's turn on some music.........something Laurie would like!

Save the corn shucks, too. The horses just love them! Flair doesn't but all the other horses do. They're a real treat and from what I hear, we'll have plenty. I can load up my truck with them. What does everyone want to drink besides banana drinks? I see Richard is lurking in the dog house but hasn't made an appearance here yet.

Unless they're making lemonaide at Gini's! ;)

I'll help decorate the place - I'm useless in the kitchen. :D

Tonya, you make a batter using fresh corn, flour, baking soda and seasonings and you fry it like a pancake.

When done, you put powdered sugar (if desired) and also maple syrup on it and they are sooooo delicious!

Maybe we should have a "cook-off" next year during the BBQ weekend.

Don't worry, we won't make you cook..........just eat!:D

Hey! I can make a mean slice 'n bake cookie! ;) :D

Hey, those PIllsbury chocolate chip cookies are the best! I don't care if they're not home made. Where's that cow? Got to have a big glass of milk with them. Mario, have you seen the cow?

Good day to you all! I just thought I would stop in for a moment or two for a lovely Champagne and OJ.......I love the Champagne - but hate the day after so Cyber is where it is at. ;)

Work is awful - so I needed some distraction on the QT.....don't think I can stay long however.


I would also like to try some of those corn fritters and cookies.....

It's been very slow in here today. The fritters are cooling on plates now. They are delicious. Cookies are still in the oven, however.

That is OK - Fritters first then cookies for desert. And I will share a cookie with Mario - if he won't smash it on the floor!!!

Guess everyone is on the downward slide for the weekend. :D

I know I am:D :D :D :D
