Thursday #139 The Year is almost...

[RICHARD]

DONE!

Since it is the End of The Year....the DOTD is champagne and what ever else you want.

-----------------------------------------


I promised everyone the Story of Done!

I worked in a records rooms and when you had a project assigned you ran around, picked up all the records and stacked them up..

I'd leave little 'love notes' on top-to let people know what was in the stack..
That quickly changed...people don't read notes..so the notes were shortened to "this project is finished" or "this project is done"....


People still couldn't read.........So it went to a half sheet of paper and written in GIANT BLACK MAGIC MARKER letters was the word DONE! on it.

And that's how people knew I was finished with their request.


Told you the story was boring!!

Let the Last Thursday of 2005 begin!

[slick]

When I receive requests from work to fix email or another problem, I always respond back DONE! I never used to....guess Thursday's is embedded in my brain.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas....mine was just OK. When I told an acquaintance about Speckles, she responded..."Well, she was old. BTW, can you come and look at my computer?" Not even "I'm sorry" or anything remotely similar. Some people just don't get it. I suppose I should lower my expectations of other people around here (locally, that is..)

I really like working through Christmas and New Year's. Everyone is on vacation and it's casual day every day. This weeks prayers going out to our dear friend MOFF. May 2006 bring you a new house. Also prayers for Terry and Debbie...may you have a safe trip home. Please check in from wherever you are. Saw your post about Norman Vaughan, Richard. What an amazing guy. RIP Norm. Thanks God for bringing Gini back home safe. Prayers for little Sammy....may you be home for NY. Did I leave anyone out?

Now on with the drink. I'll have my usual please....a double BM with a shot of horseradish, a slice of lemon and a skewer with two prawns and a cherry tomato. Not picky am I?? What is everyone doing for New Year's?? I'm going the same thing as last year....staying home. Richard, I bought some slushie mix and a bottle of Jose for NY eve. I'll toast you at midnight. Dark or light?? Get it??? Toast???

Slick, first of all my condolences for the loss of your dear Speckles. Second I'll probably spend NY staying home watching the ball drop in Times Square just like every year. A little early for the bubbly so I'll put a pot of coffee on and get a small fire going in the fireplace.

[Corinna]

I have been "burnt" before!

David,

You could go outside and toot the horn on your car!!!

Hey, RICHARD! I forgot I can do that! I can stay inside and press the button on my remote!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I'd like a gingerale with a cherry in it in honor of Mario who is helping me sort through all the stuff I stored in this house.

4 cnts too, please. The kids are a big help dusting and pulling things out of boxes whether I want them out or not.

Did have some good news today. The codes officer is going to work with me as long as I keep in touch with him. I have to report back in in 30 days. My brother is working through a local realtor to get me a house.

Of course, when the landlady gets hit with the "several violations" the codes officer said he was filing against the place, she may try to toss me out sooner. Lots of luck she'll have!

I was so relieved today that I took the afternoon off and took a long long much needed nap! I look forward to soon being able to keep something other than 7 up and soup down.

Slick and all, please keep those prayers flying. I know they are helping!

[Randi]

I'm sending positive thoughts and hugs to everyone who needs them.

We've been warned that a snowstorm is on the way and not to drive unless absolut neccesary - it has actually started snowing and looks pretty. One good thing is that people hopefully won't be out on the streets for long on New Years Eve with fireworks and crysantemum bombs!! Fister gets so scared, and poor Pjevs in the yard.

Well, I don't feel like celebrating anything, I'll stay home with Fister and look after Pjevs too, but I'll still drink a glass of Champagne with you all.

Happy New Year, everyone!

[RICHARD]

Well, I don't feel like celebrating anything, I'll stay home with Fister and look after Pjevs too, but I'll still drink a glass of Champagne with you all.

Well, we can always celebrate our pets!!

I am sure that Fister and Pjevs will keep you company!

One glass of champagne?

DONE!

MOFF,
Ginger ale w/ a Mario..Ah, I mean a cherry........

Things will work out.....they always do!

DONE!


David....

DONE!

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, every once in awhile a good thought filters throutgh this brain of mine! Good luck getting it around his neck!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hey, Mario, was Santa good to you this year?

You got WHAT?

Life on planet earth may never be the same!!!

[slick]

Big {{{hugs}}} to you Randi....your first Christmas without John. We are here for you my friend. I'll try to log on to ICQ tomorrow and we can chat, OK?

MOFF, prayers continue for you.

A big Happy Birthday to Willie. Mario, can you refrain from throwing cherries for just one day???

Where's Laurie?? How are those tree decorations holding up??

Another double BM please bartender....oops I mean....F.A.?????

[RICHARD]

Another double BM please bartender....oops I mean....F.A.?????

Peh!

A double on the way....DONE!

David,

When Lady's Human gets here he'll hold the baseball bat and you can hand me the collar shen I get him pinned.

Thanks for the fire....

Are we gonna have a film festival this weekend???

I want to see Citizen Kane.....I liked that flick!!

[Corinna]

Can we get a copt of Show boat. I love those old musicals.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey everybody!

Just checking in. I'll have a slushie - thanks. We went to dinner tonight and I ordered a margarita. It tasted like it was about 99% mix with a drop of tequila. The waitress came by and asked if I wanted another. I asked how much they were - about $6.50. I said that was too much to pay for a glass of mix. If they could add some tequila I'd have another. I, of course, said this nicely and not in so many words. Well.....the next one I got was strong enough to put hair on my chest! Good stuff.

Slick, I know what you mean about the locals. Right after Tubby died, one of my best friends from high school that I still see about twice a year called. She asked how I was doing and I said "Not too good." She asked why and when I said that Tubby died, she said "Oh, and the reason I'm calling is......" and she went on and on about the vacation her and her hubby were taking and wanted to know if we wanted to join them. She knew Tubby from the time I got him and she knew how much he meant to me, and all she said was "oh." That's why PT is such a wonderful place.

Ok, after all that, I think I need another slushie. Then I have to go spoil Peanut. Terry asked if he could give her something....don't remember if it was a treat or some fish from our dinner or what....I told him that in my opinion, she can have anything she wants! So....since our fish was soooo good, and we both finished it off and forgot to save some for her...how about a slushie for me and a small bit of fish for my sweetie? Thanks.
