Dang - it is COLD here!!!!.
Soooooooo, barkeep, seeing it is WARM where you are, please may I have a Strawberry Dacquiri ..... heavy on the alcohol, light on the Straw ....
:D
Cheers

RICHARD, I'll gladly join you on the beach! Rain & thunderstorms in Pittsburgh! As long as it's cyber I'll have a BIG Pepsi with little ice.
Now THAT'S a sandbox!! Salty Margarita with an umbrella (palapa?) please :cool: Beach food coming up. Where are the cabana boys ;)
Laurie, that sounds good to me, I'll have the same. It has been so hot here, I have just wanted to stay inside next to the air conditioner. Something ice cold would be wonderful!
Willie :)
We do have sunny spells here - in between light showers, but I'll just pretend I'm sitting amongst you all on Laguna Beach with a large cold Pina Colada. :D
I'll have one of the cabana boys bring it right over Randi. Mario - your little surfer dude shorts are cute but watch Randi's drink if you are going to use your skateboard while serving :rolleyes: and don't nab the cherry off the top!!!
Well how nice! It seems ages since I was on a beach. I'll take one of those margaritas and a cuddle at the Edster, please. :D
YO BARKEEP!!! *slams hand on the bar* I'll be in the little blue chair by the water. Could ya saunter over here with a pitcher of Margaritas and one glass?? Preciate it! Oh, and don't forget the salt.
Do I get a pair of Bertulas so I can be like EVERYONE?????? :D :D :D
Kiki wants to know if the beach allows DAWGS? Her favorite place to be is the beach!
Any good fishing out that way????
Oooh the Southern California beach! Can I please have some fresh fried SHRIMP??? YUM! :cool:
Sunny So-Cal I could use this right about now. I'll get my SPF 8000 for my pale Oregon skin (where we don't tan, we rust ;) ).
Its nice to have Edster joining us today. Richard - how about a pitcher of slushies - my treat. :D
What size and color Sara? Perhaps there are some in the L&F :D *umm, Sara? used shoes? nah ~ never happen* ;)
Are "we" going swimming? :eek: Then, we'll need a cork belt to put around me, or you won't see me again. I can swim about 3 meters, but only if someone is close and can rescue me. On second thoughts, I think I'll just sit in the sand with my drink and watch you lot. :D
If someone brings a blender, I'll make a yummy Gazpacho for all. :)
Ooh! Gazpacho! Shrimp! Flip Flops and SPF 8000! A vat of iced tea and a cabana boy to fan me and I'm all set! :D
The SPF 8000 we can arrange (SPF 55 okay?) but the cabana boy is going to have to be orc. :D
Pitcher of slushies anyone?
Don't think I need to see the orc in shorts! It's hot and muggy here today, so I'll be in the water! Randi, you can swim by me if you want, I promise to keep you afloat!
Oh dear! Orc in Shorts! :D The visual I get .... :rolleyes: :p Oh wait! Mario is in shorts too - he looks so cute with those little furry legs! :)
It's hot and muggy here too - very weird weather. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's earthquake weather.
SPF 55 will work just fine with this strange cloud cover we have.
Ah, a nice relax on the beach may be just what I need.
The blood pressure has shot up again so off I go to the doctors in the morning to "discuss" my meds. :eek:
I'll grab a cvc and just sit here with my toes in the sand and watch you all bob about in the water.
Mario has offered to do "mouth to mouth" if anyone has a need of it!!! :D
Sounds like my idea of a good time!! The weather has been nice here too...not too hot or cold oddly enough. The clouds have lingered all day...its felt like it wants to rain but just isn't.Quote:

Hope yall are having a good day!
Good morning everyone - it is yet another great beach day! So nice to wake up to brilliant sunshine instead of May Muck........(cloud cover)!
I have a surprise for you girls - a team of cabana boys will be available all day. They are well trained and will assist you by bringing you drinks or towels or a chair. They will be passing out yummy food too.
I hear some of them are life guards so Randi - maybe you want to tread into the water and yell "Help" - the blond one named Tad is looking pretty good! :D
Sorry I haven't been around much - it's a bit crazy at my house this week.
Aww, it's tempting to take Mario's hand and walk right into it - that is IF the water temp. is about 80 Fahrenheit and no big waves!! Karen, thanks for the offer, I'll definately stay close to you, I bet you're a good swimmer! :) I must warn you though, I nearly dragged my girlfriend down many years ago, holding onto her.
Then, after the swim, I think it would be a good idea to dig in to the food and have Tad and his mates serve drinks. :D
MOFF, I'm sorry about your BP, hope it will go down - without additional medicine.

**bats eyes**
Oh cabana boy......I need some lotion rubbed on my back!
You are going to need a cuddle with those cabana boys and some hot toddies too! I went kayaking Sunday and the water is.......................
COLD!!!!!
That's bad?????
Even our Chicago girl is joining the ranks of Californians. :D :D We are wimps out here if the water is too cold.
Now if you are from Scotland or Copenhagen - I am sure you think there is something wrong with us if we call it "cold".
Tad or Biff, could you please go over and apply some lotion on Slick?
Uh, I am not sure where she wants it rubbed on.........maybe you had better ask her first! ;)
Cold=taking a bath in the ocean on Iceland.
Ocean water in the US latitudes is merely brisk!

Of course Slick wants it rubbed on....all over! We don't want anything too hot.... ;) ;)

Ain't no such thing as cold water in California, is there? The CA water I've been in was like bathwater temperature!
I can assure you that Sara's tub has the right temperature!! So if it's too cold in the sea, I'll retire to there - and then I can have Don serve me drinks and spray sunlotion on me, and you won't believe it ...... I can sit in a blue armchair at the same time! :D
I know exactly the movement you mean, Karen, where people jump in and jump out so fast that it looks like a film being run backwards! The water can be awful cold round here. If you wade in, you can feel like your legs and caught in a vice!Quote:

ES,
Chalk it up to a childhood swimming in the north atlantic. Our mother loved the beach, and we went regardless of the water temp. If Ma dove in and said "It's brisk" we knew we were going to freeze, but got used to it. :D
anyone for some steak on the grill? Bring a pitcher of slushies over and I'll start cooking!

You've gotta keep in mind that I grew up with the ocean meaning the North Atlantic, and we usually hit the water in Rhode Island, Maine, or off Rockport, MA, not in the sheltered and (slightly) warmer waters of Massachusetts Bay. Ma like "real waves" - so colder water was inevitable. In fact, Dad would yell us in to shore when he noticed lips turning blue from cold.
Hee hee - did a Google for ocean temperatures, and found the attached graphic representation of water temps where we swam: the light blue places!

LOL I know that! I got sucked into an undertow at that very beach. Of course I had no change of clothes :pQuote:

You got it, LH! One pitcher of slushies coming up! Is that Orc trying to be a cabana boy?!Quote:

I'd ask for cabana girls for equality, but LOH might not appreciate that.... :D
LH, I'll do that! I'm a bachelor.Quote:
