Good morning all Just a quick check in . Man I guess I have to admit age creeping up . Hands so stiff with the arthritcs today I guess Mr Alleve will be my freind again to day. More snow its starting to get depressing. How about a sugerfree hot cocoa please.
Slick can I have some of that biscuits and gravey sure smells good.
O please not the red eye gravey again!
And WHAT *she asks haughtily, looking down her nose* is wrong with red-eye gravy? OK ok, sausage gravy is good too, how are doing with that Lacey? mmmmm, biscuits are starting to rise and about ready to put in a covered skillet to cook over the coals in the fireplace. Camp cooking... gotta love it :D
Sausage gravy is just about ready!
Oh, no! Mario! When you squeeze fresh orange juice, the juice goes in a glass, not all over you!
Good morning everyone....for the second time....
Laurie, you're right...those bickies and gravy sure smell good. **holds up plate** Slap one of the those puppies down here will ya? Thanks.
I used to camp by myself all the time and my trusted friend was this heavy cast iron dutch oven. Man, the cooking I did over an open fire was to die for....and there's nothing like the smell of cooking bacon over the hot coals. Too bad we all couldn't squeeze in a camping trip sometime.
Hmmmmm, I wonder how many tents we can string up in Gini's back yard??
Did you get some more sleep, Slick? (Sleep Slick??)
Did you really have to pluck up courage to get your ears pierced at 40? :D :D
Did you count sheep in your sleep Slick? :p
:D :D
Into the slitted sheets I slipped and counted sheep in my sleep....
:eek: OK, I'm not going to say that really fast 3 times over after a few drinks....Actually, Speckles crawled underneath the blankets with me.
Karen...yes....on my 40th birthday I decided it was time to get my ears pierced. I was so scared, I took my niece with me and she held my hand and giggled the whole time. :rolleyes: OK, go ahead and laugh now...I can take it.
Biscuits and gravy are good, but once I found out the details like Karen posted, everytime I see them all I really see is a heart attack on a plate....and just can't bring myself to eat them anymore! They are good...but I think I'll stick with the eggs bennie this morning. That's always been one of my favorites. I love the place in New Orleans (forget the name) but they have, like, 40 different varieties of Eggs Benedict. :D
Have to raise my cup of Coke to Speckles and Max today - Happy Gotcha Day, sweeties! :D
Camping trip? Did I hear someone say camping trip? We just got the motorhome fixed and it's back home and rarin' to go - as is Terry! We've discovered the awesomeness of bacon cooked over an open fire......so now Terry's cholesterol is up. :( :rolleyes: Have to try that turkey bacon stuff......yuk! :p
I don't even know what you're having today, besides the sinful biscuits and gravy (good southern cuisine). :) I'll skip the food and go straight to the bar. Whatcha serving Mr. Bartender??? Whatever it is, I'll take it, unless it has brown liquor or coconut in it. :p
I found a problem on our taxes and undoing a mistake I made is killing me!!!!!! Of course, I waited until the last week to do them, but this makes 3 days straight that I've been working on them! It's killing me!!!!! :eek:
Hey Slick...here's my ear piercing story. I am the youngest of four so I was always the guinea pig they tried things on (I'll tell you the hot dog eating contest story sometime.) Anyway...one Sunday my sister and I were sitting around and she decided to pierce my ears. An ice cube, a sewing needle and there you have it. Done...as is said.
She did my mother's too.
Sorry...I am under the gun to get a project done for a client so I can't stick around.
Been there, done that. ;)Quote:

I got my ears pierced for my 13th birthday. Don't know how old I was by the time I wanted a second hole in each ear - Mom said no way! I was so mad :mad: that I took a needle and ice cube in the bathroom and locked the door. Didn't come out until I had two holes in each ear - second was much harder since the anger had worn off a bit by the time I got to that one. :rolleyes:
Ok, now that the eggs bennie are gone, what's for lunch? I'm starving! Could really go for some pizza, anybody else want some?
Pizza sounds wonderful. I'd also like a cherry limeade and 4 cnt's for the kids.Quote:

And some ice for my hand. I've been trying to get the bottom off a blender since yesterday. Silly people shipped the thing vacuum sealed on. I tried putting it in the refrigerator, soaking it in hot soapy water, prying it off, and throwing it against the wall. My hands hurt so bad today. I'm sending the stupid thing back along with a LONG letter of complaint (as soon as I can hold a pen again). :p
Mario, did you make cherry pizza again?:rolleyes: :D
Hi everyone, I think I will join everyone but I will have a glass of champagne. Two weeks ago at this time I wasn't sure that I would have a job (politics), but I still have the job and I am about to adopt two more furry members into my family. So I think both of those call for a celebration :) :)
Three glasses of champagne (or three bottles if you want to share ;) ). One for each kitten and one for the reprieve from job worries! YEAH Cheryl... :D
Slick, you just reminded me of a joke Richard and I were going to play on Laurie last year.Quote:

I have a tent - I have a porta potty - a joke my brother gave me one year. Little toilet seat - on a stand - comes with a dozen baggies - I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.
We were going to pitch the tent and put the porta potty next to it
in my back yard - Laurie's Room. It was going to cost extra:D :D
Lunch time - let's see - anybody know what a Monte Cristo sandwich is? - talk about calories..............I would love one.
To drink? Hmmm, maybe an ice cold glass of a good crisp chardonnay!
I'll share in the sham-pag-ne celebration! I love sham-pag-ne!
Congrats on keeping the job - can't wait for those two boys to get home! :D
Gini - that would have been a good one! I like the part where it costs extra. :D :D
MOFF, did they super glue it or something? :confused:
Pizza and sham-pag-ne all around! :D
I think they must have! I sure can't get it to budge.Quote:

This is good pizza.
Mario eat your own. You put the cherries on it, so YOU eat it!:D
Donna, is there a chair big enough for two? I'm worn out after being on the business end of a lawn mower for 8 hours!! At this point I'll even take a Yeagher bomb!Quote:

I think I will go for 2 bottles of champagne for each kitty, but only a glass for the job. This is just a temporary reprieve and I will be going through the same stuff next month. But I am going to enjoy the time while I have it :D
good morning everyone..
sorry I cannot tend to you all individually.
But I want to tell Gini that I have had a craving for a Patty Melt for two days now....
and on a more morbid note......Two guys were killed on the freeway this morning when a piece of metal went thru the windshield of the car they were driving.....It hit the man in front passenger seat and the man sitting behind him.....
In all the traffic I ended up behind a car with this on his license plate....
I'M MARIO.
Let me guess Richard - it was a bright red Lexus two seater..........and the dude was throwing cherry pits out of his window.
Right?
Last week Debbie saw "Mr Slick" driving down the street, right? Next sighting?? Let's keep our eyes open and see what the next one is.. (no fair making it up). Winner gets - um, gets.... well, we can think about that.
I don't know if this counts - but last Monday - early evening, I saw this woman on my front lawn. She had a metal detector.
I couldn't stand it - so I went outside and asked her what she was doing.
She didn't really answer me - but assured me that she wasn't digging anything up.
She then proceeded to walk up and down our whole block checking out everyone's lawn.
Is there something SHE knows, that I don't???
Today I saw "CSONTKT" :) Took me a while to figure it out :rolleyes:Quote:

OMG! I would have lost it and probably gotten in an accident if I saw that one! :D :DQuote:

Terry and I just got new cell phones last Saturday - we had them before, we just got new ones. So while I'm sitting in traffic waiting for a red light, I'm playing with it, listening to all the different ring tones, trying to figure out how to send a text message, etc. The news comes on the radio. A school teach was killed on the South side. She was talking to her husband on the cell phone - went around the guards at a train crossing - was hit by a train and killed. I put my cell phone down.....
I guys, work is busy today so only stopping for a moment to grab a double BM to go.
Gini, nice to see you here.
Connie, sorry you are in pain. Want to borrow a hand?
Everyone else? Hi y'all. Sorry gotta run....the alligators are biting at my heels.
Love ya....
Slick, before you insult the alligators - get out of the pond
Richard, who are you calling sheep dip :eek:
Gini, was that woman looking for the iron maiden that never made it home after last years BBQ :o
So I walk into my psychiatrists office the other day and I say...
"Doc you gotta help me. The night before last I dreamt I was a pup tent and last night I dreamt I was a teepee. What's going on?"
She looked at me and said "Sounds to me like you are too tense".
:o :D OK, I'm going to back to work. Will check the other threads later.
G-R-O-O-O-A-N :D :DQuote:

Almost time for me to go home so I'll a pitcher of slushies to go in about 20 minutes and 1 right now to tide me over.
Can I quit my job now?
Hey, everyone! My car's fixed and I drove down to the bar to show it off. Any rides?
david! remember that 'retha franklin song..".riding down the freeway of love in a pink cadillac?"....so what did you get?
I have a 1994 Olds Cutlass Surpreme coupe. It has a little over 68,000 miles. I just got it out of the body shop today. It's teal blue. I've had for five years and it's paid off!Quote:

I saw a bumper sticker once that said, "Don't laugh, it's paid for!"
Hey Slick,
Don't quit your day job!! ;)
Sure Mario can dhaperone if he promises no cherries in the car!Quote:

Hey david how about a picture of the new Old blue
Considering that Rutherglen is one of the best wine producing area's in Victoria, I would think not.:DQuote:

Rutherglen Tawny Port? Would that be Rutherglen, Australia? I didn't know you had one! I wonder if it is anything like Rutherglen, Glasgow? What do you think? :D
Yeah David we better see what we are going to get into.:D Just don't let Mario anywhere near the keys, he's had way too many cherries.Quote:

Slick, "two tense" :rolleyes: Whatever your drinking, better make it a double.;)
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! There's fresh coffee on and a new batch of Bailey's on the bar. Help yourself.
Weather here today is crappy....overcast, raining and cold....just the kind of day that makes you want to never get out of bed....but then I wouldn't be able to check on Thursdays. :D
Not sure if Richard will be around today and I've got a couple of meetings so let's make this a free-for-all. Belly up the bar and make your own. The bartending book is here and it's alphabetized by "name of drink" so fill your boots.
Meanwhile, I'm going into the kitchen to see what I can rustle up for breakie.
