And, using your example, I might be impressed with his data basing and game playing and such, if he was duly impressed with what I do for a living. But treat me like an idiot and you're going to get the same in return. There are a lot of my boss's "friends" that treat me this way and I guess I've sort of gotten used to it and just wrote them off, so after I stopped and thought about it I'm not sure why I let this one bother me. I hope he chokes on the $40.00 fee that he's charging. Yes, Mr. Megabucks can't even waive a measly $40.00 ANNUAL fee. And for me, it's not the $40.00, it's the principal of the thing that galls me. That guy's probably worth a couple million and he can't even waive a measly $40.00 fee. :rolleyes:
Me too! And I might not be a millionaire, but I'll be happy and more importantly, I'll be a good person and not look down on those who have less than I do!Quote:
I'm gonna die sunburned and doing something fun outdoors..
Thanks for the lotto tickets, Slick! I'm not greedy so if I win anything off them I'll be sure and share with the Thursday gang. :D
Miss Meow, I used to think he was rich, but I'm beginning to wonder......:(
Ok, one more Hurricane for the road. I'm wasting my life sitting in traffic so I get a good paycheck. I think I need a good dose of Jimmy Buffet and Margaritaville to set me straight as to what's important in this life.....
"WASTING AWAY AGAIN IN MARGARITAVILLE. SEARCHING FOR MY LOST SHAKER AND SALT...." ;) :D
Thanks for listening to me rant guys. The Hurricane's have done their duty and I'm feeling much better now. :D I'll check in again when I get home.

Your hubby is a bigger man than I am....I HATE plumbing.....

T&P
You car pool with a Shaker????
It is the principal.....that's why they can't see around it....they have no principals....
DONE!!
MM,
Peachy smeachy...ON THE WAY!!!!
DONE...
Aren't we a fine group?
and BTW......
What do monkeys smell like???
Hell!!!
(just kidding, Mario.....)
That was my one of my dad's lines......
If he'd walk into an offensive smell he'd wrinkle his nose, shake his head and say, "Smell like Hell..." with his accent, it was really funny!
So whenever I hear someone ask, What does _________ smell like? I laugh and answer, 'Smell like Hell.....' Thanks for the laugh....
Mango Margarita Recipe
1 1/4 cups of cubed Mango
6 oz. Tequila
6 oz. Sour Mix
2 oz. Triple Sec
ice
Into your blender, pour in the liquids, then the cubed mango. Blend for 10-15 seconds. Now add the ice and blend for another 30+ seconds. For extra kicks, add a piece of payaya.
T & P - so glad that you could feel you could rant all you want with us at Thursdays. I do feel for you.
Look at it this way...........
1. My boss is a real "b _ _ _ _ _"
2. She insists on perfection.
3. She insists on meeting deadlines.
4. She insists I be on time (and I never am)
5. I hate it when you go to ask her for vacation time.
6. Forget getting a raise - she is tighter than a tick with $$
7. I asked for health insurance and she said sure, but I had to
pay for it.
8. She expects me to work overtime for nothing extra.
9. She always brings her three cats to work with her and they
sit on my desk!
10 And she expects me to clean the office from time to time.
(I am self-employed/work alone)
Say a prayer for SAS. She lost Winter today. Check out Pet Memorial. :(
oh Slick - that's so sad for SAS. Thanks for letting us know.:(
I am really sorry to hear that, she sure was a cute little bunny, she looked like a little stuffed toy she was so cute.
Dern I need a drink, give me what TP is drinking, if it works for her, it just has to work for me, and make it a double!
Give our little stinky ;) Mario a beer too.
I know our hearts are heavy now with another PT loss, but here's a little something to lighten the mood.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered what happened to Cinderella?
Cinderella is now 75 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now dead Prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship.
One sunny afternoon, out of no where, appeared the Fairy Godmother. Cinderella said "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these years?" The Fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?"
Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful consideration, and almost under her breath she uttered her first wish: "I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension." Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into solid gold. Cinderella was stunned. Bob, her old faithful cat, jumped off her lap and scampered to the edge
of the porch, quivering with fear.
Cinderella said, "Oh thank you, Fairy Godmother." The Fairy Godmother replied "It is the least I can do. What does your heart want for your second wish?" Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said: "I wish I were young and full of the beauty of youth again". At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful youthful visage returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside her that had been dormant for years. A long-forgotten vigor and vitality began to course through her.
Then the Fairy Godmother again spoke, "You have one more wish, what shall you have?" Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man." Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when complete he stood before her, a man so beautiful the likes of which neither she nor the world had ever seen.
The Fairy Godmother again spoke, "Congratulations, Cinderella. Enjoy your new life." And, with a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, she was gone. For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each others eyes.
Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most stunningly perfect man she had ever seen. Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, and held her close in his young muscular arms. He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered:
Bet you're sorry you neutered me now".
Slick, you know I thought about that when I had Stubby neutered. Now what if when I am old and gray the same thing happened? Should I have Stubby neutered or not?:confused: Almost decided to keep him intact, then thought Ahh what the heck, when that times comes he will probably already have ran off with some cat beauty. So what the heck, I'll just have them whacked. ;)
I was just laughing to myself at Gini's "boss" when I went to the next post and heard about Winter. I'm so sad! She was such a cutie pie. I'm off to the thread to find out more. :(
well we didn't get any where on a trailer yet but have a couple places left to check. I'll take a diet coke.
I didn't get the job at the hardware store so I'll be back up at west glacier this summer . I really hadn't planed on even getting a interveiw at the hardware store. 2 postions open and 4 applicants The manger said he really had a hard time choosing between all of us. He will keep me in mind if one of these doesn't work out. Since I had a job already , he wanted to try out the 2 he chose. Ok by me I'll make more per hour and its full time. versus part time.
I like my job in the park so it worked out ok.
Heres a toast to Winter and sas !
Got my pet swap box today, Merlin and the rabbit went nuts. Cats and Lady thought being out side in SUNSHINE was more important.
I am so so sorry to hear about SAS losing Winter. What an adorable bunny she was.
Maybe we should think about having a Memorial wall at Thursdays and we could periodically stop and all drink a toast to the beloved furkids romping around at the Rainbow Bridge.
For now, I raise my glass to Winter - a precious baby taken away too soon.
Corrina, diet coke.
DONE.
T&P and Tray,
Hurricanes, DONE..
Mario,
Beer, DONE!
And also a moment to remember Winter and all the people in Spain......
Good morning everyone -
Yes Richard - a moment of silence for the people killed or injured in Spain and for thier loved ones who have to deal with the aftermath.
Slick - great story - its good to have some levity in these serious times.
Well, its cleanup time at the bar - Richard, have you scrubbed ou the tub after Mario's bath? Mario - you smell so sweet now - was that lavender soap that Slick used?
Think I'll make a pitcher of BMs. Anyone care to join me?
Hi Catland: sure I'll join you. I've done about as much housecleaning as I can take this week so I'm ready to parteeee.Quote:

Actually I used some Tea-Tree soap on Mario; I'm told it repels fleas.
My prayers going out to the people of Spain.
I'll join you catland, I need something this morning.
If Richard hasn't cleaned the tub, I'll go clean it. Mario does smell nice don't he? Thanks for giving him a much needed bath slick.
That was really bad news in Spain, when is this all going to end?
And then theres poor little Winter too.
A moment of silence is in order...
IT'S DONE.....Quote:

NAG NAG NAG NAG NAG.... :rolleyes:
Come on Catland.......
let's rock!
* nudge nudge * is there room for me to belly-up to the bar with you guys? BM sounds perfect. May saner minds than those responsible in Spain prevail on this fragile earth with the coming spring & summer.
Speaking of fleas by the way, I found out (after all these years and all the dogs & cats I've had :rolleyes: ) that brewer's yeast sprinkled on some dog or cat food works like magic to control fleas AND mosquitos. Works for humans too. It evidently creates a smell that fleas & mosquitos can't stand but that's not noticed by humans (or presumedly dogs or cats). Really, it works.
I've heard a drop or two of garlic jucie added to water, does the same thing. None of my animals would drink water with that in it though!Quote:

Oooooo, Mario, you do smell nice! Did you get into Richard's cologne?
Could I get some nachos? and a cherry limeade?:D
My dogs would eat garlic if I mixed it up with enough butter :p
That's not my cologne..........have you been cheating Mario?Quote:

Nachos and Cherry Limeade...Done.
Laurie.
BM for you.....brewer's yeast????
LOL,
one day I'll tell you about my yeast infection!!!:eek:
No, I didn't call in sick today because I remembered one of the Union auditors was scheduled to be here. So she's finally gone, but now the boss is on his way in, and he's in the dog house as far as I'm concerned, so hopefully he'll only stay a short while and then leave me be. :rolleyes:
Moment of silence for all the people in Spain.
BM please? :D
And Richard, I don't know, will hearing about your yeast infection be more than we need to know? :eek:

I don't know.....I was sick and decided to take some "cillin"
pills that my mom had on hand...(I was out of work and thought my insurance had lapsed....) The 'cillin' killed all the stuff in my system and I ended up with a raging yeast infection........I'll leave the details out.....:D.......man alive........it was terrible.
BM for you!!!
DONE!
well yet another reason that Richard is so sensitive to us women! \
I'll have an reg.diet coke , moment for Spain.
What is with the world ?
T-M-I :eek: :eek: ;) :D
Ok Richard, that's WAYYYY TOO MUCH INFORMATION than I need today :eek: :eek:
BTW since daytime TV sucks, I've just finished making a batch of low-calorie doggie biscuits and they are in the oven baking. Can you smell them?????
Next week, it's Peanut butter, cheese and beef flavoured bickies. At work they all tease me because I call them SLICKIE'S BICKIE'S.:D

It's OK Corinna, we all slip from time to time.....
Richard: did you know that middle-aged men to through something called Andropause???? check it out....
http://www.andropause.com/
No wonder you are so senstive to our needs ;)
Poor Richard is having a hissy-fit and Slick is making low-cal dog bisquits and she has two cats? um, what was in those DOTD after all :confused: ;)
I'd chime in, but I think you gals are doing just fine ragging (no pun intended) on Richard without me.
Ump! I think my husband has been going through that since the day we got married! He likes to embarass me in front of my friends by yelling at me about stupid things like I am some kind of kid. I think I'll slip my old man a hormone pill!;)
Give me more to drink! Lots to drink! and make it a double!!
Richard, you know we tease you because we love you......Quote:

lololololol.
Here's a good one....My boss walks into give me the new report to catch the errors on the data I am putting into the machines.....
He makes the report identify personnel as primary and secondary.......1=primary, 0=secondary......
I tell him that I have to brush up on my binary codes, as a joke....(It's a basic computer code... 1=on, 0=off.........)
He looks at me and says, "that shouldn't be too hard...."
no smile or laugh......:rolleyes:
Captain,
That was highly illogical....sheesh!
Well, they kicked my dreamweaver off Survivor last night. My fantasy of being the middle of a Colby/Boston Rob sammich ended when they snuffed his torch.
I'll need a bloody mary please.

Well, I'm on my second batch of bickies, this time Veggie ones with peas & carrots. Oh, the dogs are going to love me :)
Corinna: my brother was trying to talk me into getting a Palm Pilot for all my addresses.......I looked at his and it looked like a 747 cockpit.......
I can put a server together but can't figure out to get to the address book from the main menu......:rolleyes:
Gee, I sound like someone of the "IT" people that work in Richard's office.........
How about a good old homemade biscuit? Anyone?? I am making them myself....

Tray,
