thursday 133-I flu the coop!!!

[lbaker]

Feels like winter does it?? Two days ago it was 70 degrees in the afternoon and this morning when I left the house at OH-DAWN-HUNDRED it was 28 FRIGGIN DEGREES!! And we are talking Fahrenheit degrees Where is Catland anyway? I've missed a bit lately but wasn't she here a few days ago?? I'll have a snifter of some of that Ginger Brandy.. it's almost lunch time and I've been working like a mad woman all morning long. Are we going to have Thanksgiving here at Thursdays? We can each bring our specialties or whatever we have leftover on Friday if Thursday is busy.. wadda ya thunk?

[Corinna]

Good Morning all! Hasn't Richard come out of the L&F yet ? oh boy now I am worried. Maybe Eddie needs to send out for a rescue unit.
Ginger brady? sounds intresting some one want to explain to the tea totaler just what that is?
Catland where are you? We haven't heard from catdad in a while either.
Well today I make my pt christmas cards so Ill be on the computer most of the day . Will check back alot.
Oh I brought in a bacon quease(spelling rotten today)

[gini]

Good morning everyone.

I have tried to call Richard on his work number, but it tells me his mail box is full.

I sure hope he is feeling better - we get a little nuts when he isn't around to keep things under control.

Just look at the mess - guess it just was too cold to get in there and clean up. Everyone is huddled around the fire.

Wow! Slick brought in a CASE of Baileys? Isn't she the best? That sounds so good with coffee this morning.

Have a great Friday everyone!

[Lady's Human]

I figured out why Mario hasn't come out of the L+F.......

I forgot to tell lady no chasing when she came in yesterday.

Bacon Quiche? Sounds great, although I'm still a little gorged from yesterday.

Corinna, Ginger Brandy is a Brandy made with ginger root. If you heat it it does a better job of clearing out your sinuses than theraflu.

I'll start cleaning up, but I better have some help

We can't leave this place too messy or Richard will never let us open the bar without him!

[catland]

Where is Catland anyway? I've missed a bit lately but wasn't she here a few days ago??

I've been BUSY!! But that's still no excuse to not stop off at the bar. We've started decorating for Christmas already. (we're the nutty types that go overboard just so we can watch the people sloooowww dooowwwnnn as they drive by our house. I'll take whatever anyone is serving up, then I have to get back to work.

Btw - I have a lovely flea infestation to deal with when I get home tonight. Who ever heard of fleas in November?

[RedHedd]

it was 28 FRIGGIN DEGREES!!

OMG! I know why I live in California when I hear the temps from around the country. It's 80 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny - totally beach weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm running around in a tank top and flip flops. It's kinda hard to get into any kind of pre-Xmas spirit when it feels like summer outside. I need a really cold iced tea.

[Uabassoon]

It's 73 degrees over here Just perfect.

[davidpizzica]

Right now in Pittsburgh it's a COLD 33 degrees! Is there room by the fire?

[slick]

Well, we have about 50 deg F and it's just purrfect for me and yes, I'm still wearing shorts.

Julie, I'm so glad that you checked in. Sounds like your house should be in a magazine. How about posting some pictures when it's all decorated.

Lunch time here now and I'm enjoying some comfort food....a chicken pie. Yummy! Think I'll grab a DOTD and settle on down by the fire.

[lbaker]

70 degrees, 50 degrees and wearing shorts.. 73.. well HUMPH! Oh wait, that's what a camel has. Umm, pshaaw y'all! The boys and their friends are gathering up kindlin' and brought some of my split logs up to the back door and I'm starting a fire! First one of the year and I'm loving it. "Tough Tootie, oh Rudie.... wop bop alooma, adinga dang dong"

[moosmom]

Oh Daaaaavid, *pats the sofa in front of the fire* there's room right here next to me.

Hey Slick,

Don't ya just LOVE that saying you put in your siggy? My best friend sent it to me in an email and I couldn't resist using it. That's the way I want to go!!

[gini]

Just a quick drop in to tell you that I did talk to Richard this morning. He went into the office for just a few hours.

He sounded AWFUL!!!! After hearing him, I don't think any of us want the flu. (he had a flu shot too).

Uh, I am in So. Ca. so I don't think that I am going to say one word about the weather..........................

But it looks as though it is snowing outside the bar and that roaring fire looks great!

Maybe a nice dark rum with pepsi and some lime would hit the spot!

Have a great weekend everyone.

[Lady's Human]

Gini: One lime pepsi and rum coming up!

I brought some more firewood with me, so we can keep the fire going. (Roaring would explain why Lady is trying to hide behind my legs)

[zippy-kat]

Not feelin' too well on this end either. Called the Doc and she prescribed me some antibiotic for my sinus infection. This, plus a 20 page term paper (due on Sunday) does not make for a fun weekend. (yuck!)

Btw - I have a lovely flea infestation to deal with when I get home tonight. Who ever heard of fleas in November?

I hear ya!
Last Saturday, we discovered K'Cee and Sid have them; the question is, how in the world do INDOOR cats get fleas?!

I'd offer to trade "ailments" ...
but I doubt I'll find any takers!

As for the Buggy Problem ...

First Suspect might be da In/Out-side DAWGGIE!!

Second possibility is wunna da 2-Leggers!
I brough home a flea or two or three to my apartment in the Southern Tier of
New York many years ago ...
spread em all over the Fire Dept and work before I realized WHAT the problem was!
Both ankles and legs were covered in bites in a few days - and I hadn't been
near a dog or a cat in ages!

Drink?
Better make mine "warm tea".
