Mario gave me a copy of the keys - so I'll open the place up. Sure seems quiet around here. Any ideas on a DOTD?

No ideas on a DOTD, but I'll put on a pot of coffee and give you a hand straightening up the place. I'm so happy, I could drink anything!!
In fond memory and a warm thank you to the "House of Orange" let's make Creamsickles! We had them as DOTD last year sometime and they were yummy. Sort of like a Pina Colada but with orange juice instead of pineapple juice. I'll rinse out the blender Julie, can you go out back and grab some fresh oranges off the tree? Get that silly smile off your face David and push that broom ;) :D
I'll take a Creamsicle! Yum.
Ooooh, sounds good!! Can I have a little umbrella in mine please?
I'm up for a creamsickle!
Let's cheer for Kelly and the start of a new pain-free life! :D
**hugs**
Karen
Well as a matter of fact we just happen to have a slew of little umbrellas around here.... allow me :) First toast to Kelly :cool: cheers!
Gee, Laurie is it THAT obvious??Quote:

Sure is handy having an orange tree here at Thursdays. What will they think of next? I just ran across some of my BBQ umbrellas the other day at home. :D
David - why are you so happy?:rolleyes:
Yes - to Kelly - may this be the beginning of better times for you:D
LOL! I was reading a magazine the other day and they had a great idea for a drink called the "Watermelon Bomb." I IMMEDIATELY thought of Thursdays! LOL!
You cut the top off the Watermelon, smoosh up the insides - or gently slice through with a very sharp knife and then pour in the alcohol of your choice - vodka, gin, rum, tequila, etc., chill until time to party ... drill holes in the side to stick in straws (bendy ones would be good for Thursdays), set it in the middle of the party and let the fun begin! :D
I partook of one of those watermelon bombs once. Not pretty since it's really just straight booze with just a teensy bit of watermelon juice thrown in, but once you get past the first few sips......;) :rolleyes: :D
Here's to Kelly! <raises glass>
And here's to everyone else who is sick or having surgery or recuperating from something. We just found out that one of our best friends has prostate cancer. They think they found it early enough that they will be able to get rid of it. He's only 52, looks like 45, is finally in a fairly steady relationship with a wonderful girl (he's been looking for a long time and it looks like she just may be "the" one) and has a 16 year old son who recently got his driver's license and is having a blast at his first job - a lifeguard. Life is finally coming together for him after a few rough years....and now this. :(
Oh, oh....looks like Mario has gotten ahold of some watermelon seeds.....:)
It's too hot to cook so let's just do a pot luck thing with various nibblies. I'll start with some crostini with cheeses and some prosciutto. Gee David, your grinning and dancing with the broom instead of sweeping with it is a bit obvious don't you think :p :D What a fun idea with the watermelon ReddHedd, Mario will love you for it :D
Hi everyone!
4 catnip teas and a large cherry vanilla coke please.
Here's to Kelly! Hope she is pain free real soon!
Mario, stop spitting watermelon seeds at me!!!
Everyone, watch your step. We have a watermelon seed spitter among us. :eek: :D
Can I offer you some hors d'oeuvres?
I have strawberries injected with a little rum and rolled in confectioners sugar or tomatoes injected with a little vodka & tobasco and rolled in kosher salt.
Mom was a barmaid and had some real interesting ideas for little hors d'oeuvres. :o
OH WOW! Those tomato things are devine! What a great idea :eek: I just may have to steal that one away. Here's another batch of crostini with some wild mushroom & cream topping... goes nicely with the 'maters. Now I want a Bloody Mary. Wait until Oggy-Flute shows up, I bet he'll have some yummy appitizers :cool: ooo ooooops! *bump* Gol durn those slippery watermelon seeds :mad:
The appetizers are a cut above this week, are they not? Yummy!!
I think I'll give the watermelon bomb a wide berth though!:eek:
David, what are you doing on the ceiling? I'm sure the Health & Safety people won't be happy about that!
Because on August the 15th, I'll be meeting Donna (moosmom) for the first time! She's driving to Connecticut to visit friends and on the way back, swhe;ll stop in Pittsburgh to visit me! A very mini PT meeting!Quote:

hi everyone....
Today is the last day of my vacation, and what a vacation it was.
I am just about over my earache...
I just noticed all the great news we have been having lately....
People getting well, happiness in thier lives, space shuttles taking off with no problems.....
It's great to have some good news...
Thanks for opening up the bar for everyone Catland...
I hope everyone else is doing well and lets raise a glass for Kelly and T&P's freind, Seven astronauts and just good feelings all over the place.....
Let me pass out some umbrellas, a tray of treats and Catnip Tea and some more Creamsicles.....I hope everyone is staying cool.
These 100 degree days were killing me....
DONE!
Oh, before I forget..,..My CD drive is totally wacky.
I am going to transfer the BBQ pictures onto a floppy and post them..
I was waiting to go to work and do that...I don't want to take up time on anyone's computer...:o
Oooooooh, scarey! :eek:Quote:

I'd better have another of those creamsicles, please.
Enjoy work tomorrow! Well, I hope it's not too bad anyway!!
one creamsicle coming up..
DONE!!
What's so bad about work??
It makes me appreciate my vacations and gives me money to
save for next July......
Hi all. I'll have a Mocha Mint slushie with an extra shot of espresso. Got to keep cool in this heat. Richard, glad to see you're out of hiding.
One High Octane MM slushie with espresso...Quote:

Hiding???
You bet...this heat is killer!
It's rainy and cold annnnddd.... I JUST FINISHED MY PRESENTATION! Summer skewl is officially over! Woo! Now comes the hard part, waiting for grades. *bites nails* One more semester and it's all over with. *whew*
Can I have a mocha latte and *batts eyes* Laurie could we talk you out of some crabcakes and asperigussessessess? Pleassseee? Pretty, pretty plleaasseee???
(still walking two feet off the ground!) Could I have a DOTD?
Hey yall!
Man, I wish I could have come in sooner...I was busy as heck all dang day :(
Anybody got something that will sit well on the stomach? I'm still feeling the effects of the flu.
It's great you're so happy David!!! I am really happy for you and Donna both :D
I think Richard was passing out Popsicles earier....those can cure anyhting....
I'd love to try one of those Creamcicles - and a catnip tea for Fister. :) Here's to all of you. Cheers! :D
Wish you could send about 10 degrees over here, we've had rain today, uff!!
psssst, Zipster - over here quietly please Before anyone else wakes up come on over here and set your teeth into these crabcakes and sperrygooses I fixed JUST FOR YOU for finishing up your classes I'm sure in your excellent manner :cool: By the way, did you catch David doing the "electric slide" with Mario yesterday :eek: He's going to be insufferable for the next two weeks :rolleyes: ;)
I am so ready for a large strawberry milkshake.....:p . You've got that too, Richard??:D
It is so hot and humid here; even the cats are panting!
On top of all, my back hurts because I had to clean up the washing room (the kids, most my son) had made a huge mess of it....! Awwwwwwwwww, thurdays....:rolleyes:
One strawberry shake coming up. Because this is Thursdays, after all, only made with fresh strawberries and homemade ice cream!! Nice breakfast eh? Cures what ails you every time :cool:
I could have sworn I smelt crabcakes! I must be wrong though because there is surely no favouritism here? I mean, no-one would EVER make a dish just for one person would they?????? It certainly doesn't smell like a strawberry milkshake though.
We could do with a few degrees of heat sent to us as well, Randi. The temperature plummeted after the weekend and I believe London recorded its coldest ever July day yesterday! Hope Vio brought plenty of warm clothes!
Well I did just make one cake for Tonya but there are a few crab quiche's just about ready Karen. Would you care for some? It's almost the same recipe and still made with Chesapeake Bay jumbo lump crab meat and Old Bay seasoning. Only the best will do for my friends :D
Oh well OK then, I'll have some of that please, Laurie. :D Sounds fantastic. Perhaps a chilled glass of whilte wine?
A chilled white wine is an excellent choice with crab quiche, but only if we hold our pinkies up ;) :D
Gee, white wine and crab quiche for breakfast? Sounds like we live pretty good here at Thursdays. ;) :D I'll take a pass though. Just found out my 25th class reunion will be October 1st and I would like to drop a few pounds before then. So, how about some of Randi's yummy fruit and yogurt? Followed by the requisite coke.
How come this floor is so slippery? Oh, that's right, David was electric sliding all over and put some of that sand stuff down to make his slides easier. Hmmm....wonder what happens when sand and watermelon seeds mix.....;) :D
Got a busy day ahead, so I'll be pretty scarce. Weather is simple perfect here, which helped get me off to a good start for the day. Let's see if I can make it a good productive day while I'm at it. ;)
Sand and watermelon seeds? Sounds like a beach party to me!! Bingo anyone :eek: ? Finally the temps are going to only hit the 80's instead of upper 90's with high, high, gross humidity (like it's been all week) so today is looking good here too.
Laurie, Mario has been showing me some of his special moves! I better watch the watermelon seeds, they're slippy and I could go through the wall! Could I have a milkshake? I'm trying to cut the smiles down.
Strawberry? Chocolate? Vanilla? Name your poison David... all fresh ingredients available all day today. We want you to stay healthy. Quiche is ready, would you like some? WAKE UP GINI!!
