Cold (may get UP to 50 degrees, oh boy), rainy, bleek - how do I spell relief? T-H-U-R-S-D-A-Y-S Oh, I've been sick for the last few days but had to come in today to run the print order for the April 9 issue. Turns out there was a major electrical shutdown overnight so print order will be late anyway. And for this I came to work :confused: ARRRRGH MATEY I just want to go home and change into my snuggies and curl up with a few dogs and cats and watch the soaps and eat bon-bons (just kidding about the soaps, more of a NYPD Blue or ER type).
Sorry you are not feeling well Laurie. Why don't you just curl up on the couch by the fire with Mario and rest awhile. What can I bring you????
I guess we should be on guard today. If anyone's likely to pull an April Fool's joke it's Richard......
Hot buttered rum sounds good Slick, thanks. Either Mario doesn't want to get sick or he doesn't like my bunny slippers :rolleyes: . He's keeping his distance this morning. Tried to get through to PetTalk from home yesterday p.m. with an emergency HELP call but couldn't get hooked up. Called Gini and she helped. Seemed some young little baby squirel fell out of it's nest and when son went outside to check it out it crawled right into son's hand and started to snuggle. Dogs were going NUTZ of course. Well next thing you know squirrel's name is Charlie and he began to feel quite at home under Ken's sweatshirt up against his chest. Will be taking Charlie to a wildlife rehab place today. I don't like squirels but who can't like babies? What a bunch of pushovers we are
OK Laurie, HBR DONE!
Years ago my X and I were in Stanley park and came across a black baby squirrel that was abandoned because the Mom got hit by a car. I took it home after consulting the Zoo staff and raised it for about 3 months, then took it back to the park and set it free. I called him Skippy. At the time I had two cats so keeping them separated was a chore.
Pushovers??? There must be a sign on your front door :D :D
Like those hobo signs? Can squirrels and bunnies read signs?
By the way:
The commonly accepted origin of April Fool's Day involves changes in the calendar. At one time, the New Year celebration began on March 25 and ended on April 1. However in 1952, King Charles IX adopted the Gregorian calendar and accepted the beginning of the new year as January 1. Those who refused to acknowledge the new date or simply forgot received foolish gifts and invitations to non-existent parties. The butt of such a prank was known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish".
Fish & Chips for lunch today anyone? Better than fish Butts I guess.
Hey, I was born in '52!!!! Would love fish and chips as long as the fish is Halibut.
Speaking about fish parts, I went to dim sum a few years ago and had salmon cheeks. Boy were they ever good.
Must have been a typo :o Maybe 1592? Salmon cheeks?? YUK. Sushi yes, fish faces? NO
Good morning all well I hope you all didn't awake to the great aprils fools joke i got from Mother nature after getting a sun burn 2 days ago we got a1/2" of SNOW. and its still doing it. :mad:
Our sun is shining, thank goodness!! Richard, I'll take a DOTD. I'm getting ready to get involved with a conference call, which is ususally about 1 1/2 hours long. I can use that drink, right away!!! :D
'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.

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. ;) :DQuote:

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. :(
