Thursday II

[catland]

Another Thursday, another round of drinks. It's kind of cool and cloudy here in the rose city, (I won't be able to see the lunar eclipse because of the clouds) -

So Richard - a Spanish Coffee please.

[babolaypo65]

Its cool and cloudy here too. Spanish coffee sounds great. Make it two richard.

[Randi]

I'd like a coffee too - with warm whipped milk and a drop of Grand Marnier (the yellow top).

And later - una botella de vino tinto, por favor! Con Nacho cheese chips.

[Edwina's Secretary]

It's a gloomy day here too so .....a cognac please! Actually I think Randi's coffee sounds perfect. Make it two!

(I rarely drink coffee but this would be a good day for it!)

It's a beautiful day here. They are calling for showers but the sun is shining brightly and temp is about 12 deg. cel. A cool Gin & Tonic please and if that's not available I'll have a Caesar (not sure if it's spelt right, don't ask me, I just drink em)

So generous of you Richard. Oh yes, celery stick in the Caesar please.

[RICHARD]

slick,

you are a woman after my heart!

have you tried and olive in a caesar?? or pickled okra?

sounds bizarre but those are a few twists that i learned along the way.....


everyone else....drinks are up!!!



topic for today???

cell phones.....love em, hate them????

the thing that has me REALLY bugged is the 'walkie talkie'
option.......isn't it irritating to hear a conversation about ice cream while you shop in the frozen food section??????

bad enough to hear one side....now i get both sides of the conversation......that's what a shopping list and conversation (before you go out the door) is for...



also one of the 'football hazing kids' that was suspended for 10 days has hired a lawyer to sue the school district to overturn the
suspension....can anyone say responsibility?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I feel daring today so I'd like my iced tea with lime instead of lemon, please.

[Logan]

I love Thursdays!! But I don't drink coffee!!! I can do Kahlua, though....how about a White Russian, in a tall glass, Richard?? After 5, of course!

It is extremely cloudy here, but no rain right now. We did have rain overnight and I have the muddy pawprints to prove it!! LOL!!! I hope we can see the lunar eclipse tonight!!

The olive sounds good, but pickled okra????? never tried it but I'm very adventurous.

You know what bugs me???? Those idots that can't seem to shop without talking on the cell phone. I must be really screwed up because I can chew gum and walk at the same time, but shop and talk?? - no can do.

Sure they can SAY it but taking it is a whole different slice of cheese.

Cell phone???? Don't like them. Don't have one. Don't want one. Face it most people aren't that important: they just think they are or want others to. Is my iced tea with lime ready?

[catland]

cell phones - I finally broke down and got one a few months ago. Its one of those with the pre-paid phone cards so that if I don't use it often, it will run me ~$7.00 a month.

I don't use it in the car. I don't use it for long conversations. It was handy recently when I was on vacation and our Luau got rained out and we used it to call my husband's uncle to come fetch us.

But now my three months has run out and I keep forgetting to reactivate the darn thing.

Thanks for the spanish coffee - you are quite the bartender.

[RICHARD]

orders up.........


has anyone ever done tequila gimlets???

[Logan]

No, Richard, but I have done a Tequilla shooter, so surely I can handle a gimlet!! Scott loves Vodka gimlets.

As for the cell phone...I have one. I use it mostly when I travel. Thank goodness because my phone friends keep me occupied while I cover long distances. And it is a good time to return business calls, but I don't use it in heavy traffic, or when the weather is bad and I'm driving. In fact, my own mother refuses to talk with me when I'm on my cell phone, unless Scott is driving!!

sub the tequila for the vodka....different!

also, for snacks i'm putting out some Planter's spicy nuts and cajun sticks (there's a joke in there someplace )

i bought a pkg a few days ago........addiction city!

[catland]

I'll swing by Costco and pick up a bag of those spicy buffalo chicken wings. Got an oven?

(I love these virtual happy hours - lots of fun, and no hangovers or calories )
