Gosh, slick, for us that IS spring. We run around 85 to 105 in the summer!!!

yawn ---- I took a nice nap with some of the fuzzies and feel lots better.

Richard, I'll get started on the onion rings right away!

No, Mario! You can't help. You know we don't allow you around sharp objects. Why don't you go count the cherries and olives?

:D

Richard, you're here! I didn't expect you to show up today. Sounds like you traded one winner of a boss for another. When are they going to make you the boss? Then you can turn you desk and computer the other way so no one can see that you're on PT all day. :D

Ok, just about quittin' time here again so bring on the slushies! I had red yesterday (and no, I didn't get the red stain out of my white blouse :rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes: ) so today I'll try the greenies.

Onion rings sound yummy MOFF, and how about some pizza too? See, this is what happens when I try to eat healthy. :rolleyes:

Do you think calling into work sick so I can spend the day in a cyber bar makes me "boss" material????:D

One green slushie, for the road??? DONE!

Pit..

Had you held on to winter a little longer.....No poison plants at all....

You gotta share!!!

Done?

Moff.....

Thank you...As usual wonderful onion rings.

Absolutely!!!! I think my boss should try it sometime. ;) :rolleyes: :D

MMMMM great onion rings Connie. Thanks and they taste good dipped in the gravy from the stew.

Richard.....only 11 more Thursdays until the BBQ :) :)

May I please have a red slushy? I need to practice my "elbow bend".

I'll join you in that slushie.

Here's an email I got to give everyone a chuckle :)

After every flight, pilots fill out a form which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft Mechanics correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken. Here are some maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.

(P = the problem logged by the pilot S = the solution and action
taken by the engineers)

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

More firewood?

No probs, done! :)

Think i'll grab a quick slushie while I'm here, just an hour to go before the start of the weekend. WooHoo!!. No bananas thanks Mario, but you can chuck us a few of those onion rings.

Catland that e-mail looks very much like the flight reports we used to submit when I was in the Airforce.:D (Sadly my last reunion showed a distinct lack of humour amoungst the current crop:( ).

Is everyone sleeping? For once, I'm up for the people in Australia. It's 1am right now. I'm at work. How about some good strong coffee? Just sneaking in here to say hi to everyone but I see most of you are sleeping by the fire.

I'm up, it's the weekend now. Time I think for a long cold amber brew.:D

I'm up! I'm on holiday, but hubby isn't, so I was up at the same time. No lie in for me today, I have some serious shopping to do, lunch with a friend, and a holiday Monday coming up too! A Thursday party just started it off perfectly.

Anybody want to join me in some toast? I need to eat before shopping.

Ha ha! I just got back from shopping at Wal Mart on my break. I'm eating Cheetos and Mint Oreos with milk. Yum. That ought to keep me awake for a few more hours until I get out of here.

Toast, cheetos or mint oreos'...............Hmm what to have?

I know. Another beer!.............:D :D :D

Happy shopping KK, and dont you just love nightshift DDM.

Oh, I'm cooking some morrocan lamb cutlets at the moment, I'll throw a few more on for you.:D

I do love the night shift! This is only my second night of it after years and years of days. But, I've always been a night person anyway so it hasn't been that difficult. I've never had morrocan lamb cutlets before so that should be a treat. Do you have Indian restaurants there? I love the Tandoori chicken and the Naan bread.

I've only ever done night shift in my younger Air Force days, and I hated it because it cut into my play time.:D

We have plenty of Indian restaurants, the local one is excellent, they do a tandoori lamb which is heavenly and a butter chicken that just melts in your mouth. I like my naan bread with a dusting of herbs and garlic.:)

Good morning everyone! Well, it's officially Gini's birthday today and right now she's looking at 2:30pm in Ireland. I'm sure the pubs have rolled out the red carpet for her. In honour of her special day and her favourite drink, Rum and Coke will be the DOTD. Here's to one of my bestest friends! Happy birthday Gini, wherever you are. :) :)

OK, now that that's out of the way, I'm going to grab some ice water with lemon and start a little cleanup duty. Wanna help me Mario??

Asking Mario to help clean is like asking the fox to watch the henhouse .................... :rolleyes:

Hey, Mario's a good like helper, aren't you sweetie???

No hon, the plastic bag goes IN the garbage pail, not on your head....

'Morning everybody!

Catland - too funny! :D

Toast sounds yummy KK, although by now you're probably done with your lunch with a friend and back at the serious shopping. Sounds like a wonderful day off! :D

I'll grab the mop and bucket and do the floors, Slick. Wait a minute, Mario, give me that mop, it's all yucky and you really don't want to put it on your head!

While my toast is toasting....which means I'm still starving...what's say we start thinking about lunch....reminds me of when I used to work at my previous job (which I quit in 1987 so it's be awhile) my boss would usually stroll in about 9:00 am and the first thing out of his mouth after the "good mornings" was "what's for lunch?" :rolleyes: :D

I am so hungry right now (10:50 a.m.) I'm ready to gnaw on my chair *ew yuck.. needs mustard*. Don't have time for kitchen duty today though, I need to finish work up early so I can go home and kick some butt. yeah yeah, it's about time - I know I know :rolleyes:

Laurie......:( I've emailed you.

Hi Debbie. Did you see the request in Cat General for Peanut pictures??? :)

Thanks for helping clean up. I guess Richard went back to work today...

I'm just going to grab a BM to go. It's Friday, it's payday and it's sunny. :)

yuck, crappy old McDonald's for lunch. Mario, want a left over McNugget?

Friday afternoon here now, so bring on the slushies! :D

I almost stopped at McD's for breakfast on my way in this morning...but remembered the heartburn I got last time. :rolleyes:

OK, belly up the bar everyone. I've just made a pitcher of red and a pitcher of green slushies. On with the Friday afternoon partee. :D :D

After the day I had at work, I could use any color slushie, Slick.

I'll take a pitcher of each, Slick. :D :rolleyes: :D

Terry snuck out and took the afternoon off....but didn't tell his boss....then has the nerve to call me and brag about it.....while I sit here slaving away.....ok, ok, so I've spent some time on PT, did my school work, went to lunch, did my personal finances, spent some more time on PT, checked in at the bar, looked again and again at all the adorable kitten pics, answered the phone once, spent some more time on PT. Whew! I'm exhausted and need some slushies bad! ;) :rolleyes: :D

I love it when my boss is gone and busy all day. :D :cool:

:D :D Friday's are good for me too Debbie. My boss works Monday to Thursday. OK, so far I've been here for 4 hours and how much of that time did I actually do "work"?? Maybe one...:o

I just can't get into it today. It's sunny and I want to be outside. WHHHHAAAAHHHHH!!! Enough whining...here are some twistie straws for our slushies. The reminds me, I need to go shopping this weekend for some little paper umbrellas for our drinks at Gini's. :)

Mario, here's a special drink for you with a bendy straw. Now, NO blowing bubbles in the drink...you might end up with backwash!!!:eek: EWWWWWW

Well I need a reviving slushie after all that shopping! It's just unbelievable how much money you can spend in such a short time when you really put your mind to it. I hope that Oggy has saved me some Morrocan lamb from the barbie! Sounds yummy.

Plenty of morrocan lamb cutlets left for you mate.:D

I thought I would do some satay beef kababs this arvo, just got them marinating now. Another lovely sunny saturday down under so a big jug of red slushie would definately hit the spot.:)

Mario? what are you doing with that bag mate? No I definately would not put the straw there. Ok, but Slick just cleaned the place so make sure the cherries are gone before she pops back.

Hey Trev, I'm here tonight. It's Friday night for me and nothing on TV so thought I would drop in at the bar.

Sorry, no lamb for me but I'm tasting those beef kabobs as I type. I haven't had dinner yet.....mmmmmmm, my mouth is watering.

Big jug of red slushies, DONE! What's arvo??? :confused:

Trevelle send kisses. :)

Oh yeah, you are 8 hrs + a day ahead so that would make it 5pm Saturday for you??

It's 2.05 PM at the moment Slick on saturday afternoon. (Arvo:D ) this arvo means this afternoon.:D

Glad to hear Trevelle is fine. :D

I promise to make satay beef kebabs for all the PTer's you drag downunder in 2007.:D

2007...that seems so far away. God willing, we will make it. My neice travelled "down under" for about 4 months last year backpacking with friends. I can get some pointers from her, mind you, I'm alot older and trekking around with a 30 pound backpack isn't my style these days.:rolleyes: Anyway, I can find out where she visited and let you know. Where are you located?? Nearest major city??

I'm going to enable my PM's and send you my email addy. Maybe you can send me more info as to your location. It's never too early to plan. :)

I live in Sydney Slick, the city to be in.:D Though there are many wonderous sights and places to go all over Aus.:)

Ohhh Slick are you coming to visit us Aussies in the future? :D, woohoo.

Clover:
For decades now, my only dream vacation destination has been Austrialia/New Zealand.

...but that was before I met the Pet Talk gang. Now I want to travel to the UK, Germany, Denmark and other places too.

Who knows, 2007 will be here soon enough and we'll see what happens. :)

Trev, thanks for the PM. Let the planning begin.

OK folks, Saturday morning here and I just woke up....:o No work today so a nice spanish coffee will be just Jim Dandy. Wait a minute, who is Jim, and is he single??:D ;)

I know Jim, he is indeed quite Dandy :eek: :o

Hey Laurie....good morning to you, my friend. :)

Hope you are feeling better today. Your last post here had me a tad worried, but then again, what else is new?? :rolleyes:

Sit down by the fire and relax. I want to know all about Jim.

Mario, Laurie might need some cheering up. Stop shoving that banana up your nose and see if you can put a smile on her face. I'm going into the kitchen to see what I can rustle up. **pats Mario's head** There's a good boy, now. Run along.

good morning everyone...

Here's post #8000...

Oggy,
I almost crashed my car because of you....the local rock station plays the "5 o'clock funnies" some snippets of comedy albums....

I heard "here's your sign" and almost center punched the center divider....Satay??? no mention of peanut sauce? shame on you!;)

Hi Slick, KK and T&P-Mario, Laurie, Clover and David....

Do you think that Gini went over to Europe to see if she mess with that Greenwich Time Thing and NOT have a birthday???:D

I'll make a pot, put out some Kahlua and Bailey's for y'all!!!

I'll peek in later on!!!

Hi all, yeah Kahlua sounds a pretty good way to while away the afternoon, (that's arvo for slick;) - if you're going to come down under, got to get your slang up to speed).

Richard, Satay means peanut sauce.:D Can't have satay beef with no peanuts in it.:D

No mario, there are no cherries in a satay.:rolleyes:

Hey guys....I just got an email from Gini in Ireland......

....she's discovered Guiness and wants Thursdays to carry it on a regular basis...:) :) Over to you Richard. I don't do "suppliers".
