Hard to believe this is the last Thursday of 2006! Next week will be another year, 2007! Richard, I'll watch the last sunset with you. You know the 28th, today is my Birthday. Could I have a special drink of some kind to celebrate?
Willie :)
I'll watch the last sunset with you and Willie, RICHARD. Willie, I hope you get really spoiled today!
Happy Birthday, Willie!
Hard to believe that someone somewhere could be watching a sunset. We have a whiteish fog around at the moment - can't see very far at all.
I'll take a suitable sunsetty drink. I don 't know what that might be, I can only think of sunrises at the moment.
Happy Birthday Willie!!
How 'bout a Sunset Island for the festivities?
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz Grape juice
1 1/2 oz Lemon-lime soda
1 tsp Sugar syrup
Ice
Or if you prefer a little alcohol in the mix, a Sunset Sour
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Whiskey
3 oz Sour mix
1 tsp Grenadine
Or for one more option, a plain Sunset
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Watermelon schnapps
1/2 oz Malibu rum
1 oz Pineapple juice
1 splash Grenadine
Here's to the memories of 2006 and hopes for a wonderful 2007!
Thank you for the birthday wishes, and that drink sounds just right! I'll take it, alcohol and all!
How are you all doing this morning?
Willie :)
Happy Birthday, Willie! Get spoiled! :)
I'd love to watch a sunset, it can't get much greyer than it is here - and now it's even started raining! KK, stop sending your weather over here!! ;)
Cincy's mom, can I have a glas of the second one? Only, I'd prefer it without the Whisky, but instead pour some of my Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila in. I got a bottle for Christmas - oh yes, I had visitors, all the way from Mexico. :D Anyone else wants to try? You're all welcome!
Cheers!
I'll be there to Watch that Last Sunset with Everyone~
It's pretty darned grey over here as well~ So, I"ve missed Plenty of Sunrises and Sunsets!!!!
I'll take a Plain Sunset Cincy'sMom~
Does Mario have your Keys Willie? ;)
Cheers Everyone for The New Year~~~~2007~~~~~~
DONE :p
(spelling correction~ :o )
I'll be watching the sunset, looks like it will be a great one, lots of sunshine today.
I watched a beautiful sunrise this morning - yes, it's all bright and shiny here in San Francisco. I think the wind we had blew all the clouds away, among other things (trees, wires, etc.) - DANG! it was blustery!
I'd love to watch the sunset with all my PT friends. Happy Birthday, Willie! I hope Mario treats you well today. Perhaps he'll even bake you a cake!
It's too early for a sunset drink for me, so I'll just raise my cuppa Joe in a Birthday toast! Here! Here! :D
I'm on the west side of the office and it is a sunny day in Chicago, so we should have a nice sunset this afternoon if it doesn't cloud over. I'll toast the last Thursday of the year with a diet Coke, if you all don't mind.
I'd like to join everyone.
Mario - sit down - you're blocking the view :eek:
(now which way is west?)
I have the perfect picture to say goodbye to 2006!
I peeked out the window last night and saw the prettiest sunset. I grabbed to camera and took some pics. This one is special because a jet was flying over. I didn't realize it until I loaded the pic on my computer. The jet stream is pink too.
Bye Bye 2006!!!
can I have a cherry vanilla coke? :D

Wonderful picture, MOFF! It's gonna be windy there tomorrow, you know the saying.... Pink sky etc. (honestly, I can't remember in English ;) )
Red sky at night, sailors delight
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning!!
I saw a beautiful sunrise this morning on my way into work but it usually sets while I'm underground on the Metro after work :mad: I DO NOT LIKE leaving the house when it's dark and coming home when it's dark. We recently moved our small little department down to the "Garden Level" which actually is the basement so I feel like an old bat most of the time :rolleyes: I can always zoom over in cyber space to catch the sunset with you all at Thursdays so have something inviting when I get there pul-eeese?
Thanks Randi!Quote:

Is that the one you are thinking of?
OOPS!!! I see lbaker beat me too it! :)
Happy Birthday Willie!
Can I join in the sunset walk with you all? I can't wait to say goodbye to 2006, because it hasn't been a good year for me at all. I just hope 2007 is better.
Barkeep, I'll take one of those sunset sours, if you please!
Goodbye 2006!
I agree Karen, good bye and GOOD RIDANCE
The last Thursday of 2006 already? Seems like the year started not too long ago. One of those Island Sunsets (sans alcohol) sounds delicious. Maybe we should set up the chairs outside so we can get a better view of this beautiful sunset? Oh - and Happy Birthday, Willie!
So long, 2006!
Sure I'll join. I like sunsets and may as well try one of those drinks too.
I will join you all on that sunset ............ and will see it before everyone but NZ Carole ............ so I will let you know how it looks, OK? :D
Barkeep, one of those Sunset drinkies please ......... the one supplied by Cincy's Mum .............. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'll help Mario get the chairs outside. Uh, Mario? Not on top of each other! Cyber-sibes, I'll join you in one of those non alcohol Island Sunsets.Quote:

You're most welcome to share. I hate the taste of Whisky - might be because I had too much one time as a teenager. ;)Quote:

Randi, I'm with you kid... outside still works over here on the other side of the pond and it's amazing how tolerable cold can be for a few puffs :rolleyes: Funny how I can go all day without a cig but seem to make up for it when I get home :o Are we not pathetic? Hey, there are worse vices ;)
Why, I was just (gently) nagging my brother-in-law about quitting smoking ... and like I told him, it's just because I love you and you know that ... I am sure both of you have herad the lecture, but if you want to quit and need a nudge, I'm here for you!!!!!!!
Still getting Christmas cards in the mail, which is nice!
To quote the Counting Crows:
It's been a long Deecember, and I've reason to believe maybe next year will be better than the last ...
C'mon, Orc, please help me with this ... I'm bringing a big urn of mulled cider out for folks to enjoy while watching the sunset ... keeps fingers and insides from getting too nippy ...
Now I KNOW I will really be there for that Sunset~
Mulled Cider~ :o What a Great Drink to Toast in the New Year~
I'll help set up the chairs~ I'll even hold Mario on my lap ( sorry Toto, you"ll have to sit on slicks lap ) :D
Receiving Christmas Cards, after Christmas, is an extended Bliss~
It's going to Be a Warm New Years Eve for Sure!!!
Just think, it will be a whole new year this time next week!!! Seems like just yesterday it as 2000!!! Remember all the Y2K scares? :D
Still seems like we should be traveling in flying cars now that we are in a new century and stuff!!! Guess they will have to wait for the year 3000! :D
Bottoms up gang!!! :D
no mario, I didn't mean for you to stand on your head!
I feel your pain Randi. :) Our city is not yet as strict as yours will be,Quote:

Mmmm, mulled cider sounds very good! Mario, can you dip me a cup of that mulled cider without getting into it up to your elbows? No, Mario, the saying is "More fun than a barrel of monkeys", not "more fun with a monkey in the barrel" :rolleyes:Quote:

RICHARD, is Orc running down? I guess he's walking a little slower. I'll make a fun trip to the L&F to get batteries for his remote and the smoke detectors in here. (and home!)Quote:

Is there some hidden meaning? A conspiracy to take over the world, spoken in code, of course?
Or just one of those, "You had to be here from the beginning" kind of things?
Just curious. Please don't break my kneecaps for entering the sacred clubhouse without knowing the secret password.
;)
Twister, just a repost.....
To explain (or attempt to explain) this madhouse to the newbies:
Take your average streetcorner bar. Fill it with Pet Talkers, and a barkeep who has an amazing ability to come up with ANY ingredient you can name.
Take one monkey (Mario), a dog(Lady), and a little orange kitten (Who STILL doesn't have a name!), and throw them into the mix.
In the summertime, we have a cabana, but the Cabana boy is an Orc, and he hauls firewood for us in the winter. The remote control you see Mario playing with isn't for the TV, it's for Orc's electronic collar. With the exception of the times Mario has it with new batteries, the collar is completely humane, so no worries.
Add to the bar a L+F, which is basically a black hole that all sorts of odd material falls into. DO NOT , I repeat DO NOT go in there by yourself. Some people (Richard) have gone in there and not been heard from for weeks!
Admission and drinks cost one clean joke on entry.
Feel free to join in the chaos!
Champagne anyone?
And Twister, if any of THAT makes sense then you belong in this loony tunes bin :p There is only one rule, LEAVE THE ATTITUDE AT THE DOOR No arguments, no politics, doghouse it is but love is where it's AT baby. ;)
Nope....no sunset here, it was bloody raining again.
I did however, have a beer :cool:
Wombat
OH, and another thing... sometimes we bring in regional food (I almost typed in FOOLS but actually that works too) Slick will bring in some Canadian smoked salmon and The Mayor will contribute maple syrup. In the summer I will bring Chesapeake Bay Crab cakes and Silver Queen Corn. Oggie Flute has mahhhvelous food from Down Under and my goodness!! the things we have from those crazy Europeans ~ well my dear, some of than Haggis stuff you don't even want to hear about :rolleyes: ;) HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! :D
:D I hope we didn't scare Twister off! The L&F is the Lost & Found. Some of the stuff that is found in there can be quite scary and I'm not sure how useful. :p Like others have said, some have gone in, not to emerge for weeks. Sometimes we send Orc in after them.
It's the last day of 2006. It was a very good year - I'm still alive so that makes it a good year! :)
I plan to spend a quiet New Year's Eve at home with the cats. The dude I'm dating has other ideas, but I'm just not up for a big blow out this year. Does that mean I'm getting old or just comfortable with being the age I am? :confused: Whatever; I'm not going to worry about it.
For now a cuppa coffee as it's still breakfast time here in dreary gray San Francisco.
