Thursday 155 let's have fun

[gini]

Yeah, well try to say Artillery really fast three times in a row after having a few of those................ha GOTCHA.

Thanks for preparing the peeps for proper curing. Mmmm are they good when they get a bit crusty around the edges.

I am feeling really mellow and introspective tonight - think I will just curl up by the fire and watch it for a while. zzzzzzzzzzz

[smokey the elder]

I'm home making sure the roofers don't mess up. How about some French toast made with Bailey's, and Canadian bacon?

Scoot over! I love Disney movies.

MOFF just look at you - Wow 20 pounds. You sure look great.

Well, I'm glad someone FINALLY noticed me!!!

The last two times, I posted in the bar, I've been totally ignored, so I deleted my posts. I decided this would be my last visit unless someone at least said HI to me.

I may look a bit better but never hurt so much in my LIFE!!!
Gini, I finally started the book you sent me in the fall!! Just the perfect time for it since it takes place in the spring!!!

Some Peeps followed me home from the store yesterday. They are planning to stay until Easter!

The pony just fallowed me home. (gee does every one here beleive that one?)
I need a DLC this morning.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

LOH, I also collect Disney movies! I have almost all of them including a rare Fantasia gift set that has the movie, a tape of the making of Fantasia, lithographs of it, and two CDs of the music. Only 1500 sets were made.

I don't have nearly all of them but I do have some good ones, especially since a lot of them are being re-released on dvd. I also have almost all of the disney/pixar movies I think the only ones I'm missing are A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 2. I especially like the animated shorts they include with the movies. I don't know if this would be considered child-like but I also collect Japanese Animation. Right now my collection is still kinda small, but every once in a blue moon I get to ad a new one.

Sure, I made a spot for ya, pass that French toast, mmmmm, that's good!
What should we watch first? Bambi, maybe too sappy, then again 90% of disney is sappy... oh I know, how 'bout "Melody Time", ya know, the one with Johnny Appleseed, and Pecos Bill? I love that one.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Corinna,
I'll get you that DLC. How are things going for you?

MOFF,
I'm sorry I didn't mean to ignore you. One of those DOTD's from LH really does a number on you. Gini's right you look great. I love jigsaws too, I just don't have much time or a safe place to do them these days. My 4 year old likes the Backyardagains too as well as Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer.

Sounds like you need a soak in a nice bubble bath, to ease those sore muscles and relaxation.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Heard two opposing views on Peeps last night. You've all probably heard of GREAT STUFF, haven't you? It's the stuff in a can you buy at Home Depot that you squirt into holes and it immediately expands and fills up the home with styrofoam type stuff. Well, one lady said Peeps taste like Great Stuff with sugar on! blech!

The guy was all for Peeps, and he said the best way to eat them is poke holes in the cellophane and then put them in the freezer for a few hours.

Something childlike? I like swinging on swings in playgrounds. Love the almost roller coaster type feel when you get going really high.

I'll take a pass on the DOTD, like Gini, I think I'd be dead after just one of those!

MOFF, you shouldn't delete your posts! Sometimes some of us don't get to the bar as often as we'd like, so if you've deleted your post by the time we show up, how do we even know you posted? I have noticed your absence and I'm glad to hear you're mostly moved in and are ready to start settling down. I'm assuming the pretty tree outside your house that you posted about is done blooming? Ours should start blooming here in about a week or two. May is always so pretty around here.

Back to work for me!

Well, I am a newbie here at the bar. I have been following these posts for a while, and you sound like a great group of folks! I am kinda shy around people I don't really know.

I am always willing to try something different, so I will try one of those artillarys! (My dad would be proud as he is an Army man!)

As for something that I have done silly as an adult.... well, for my 40th birthday, (4 years ago!) I threw myself a party and the theme was "Princess"! Everyone had a great time, and there were lots of silly gifts.It was my first birthday since my divorce, and I felt the need to celebrate my new life! Last year for my birthday, I got my cartilige in my ear pierced, and this year I spent it with my best friend as we searched for a wedding gown for her!

Now where is that drink??

[RedHedd]

Donnaj, welcome to Thursdays. You reminded me that I did something sort-of childlike a couple of weeks ago - I went to a Prom! Our local AA Central Office committee held a Prom as a fundraiser and it was a blast! Everyone got into the theme and dressed up in prom dresses, wrist corsages, turquoise tuxes - the whole lot. Even my hairdresser had fun giving me "prom" hair. I had never gone to any of my high school proms so this was a first for me. It was such a smashing success - we raised over $3,000 - that they're thinking of making it an annual event.

Moff, please don't delete your posts. T&P's mom is right; many of us don't always make it to Thursdays because we're busy or can't post with the boss looking over out shoulders. Just because we don't respond, doesn't mean we don't love you.

And on another note - the squeaky wheel gets results. I've been living out of boxes for a year while earthquake retrofit construction goes on in my apartment building. In January of this year, my living room was relocated to another apartment, because that was the only room they supposedly needed to work on. Nope, they tore up the bedroom ceiling too. The actual construction only took a few days, and was complete sometime in February. I've been waiting since then for them to close up the work, paint and allow me to move my living room stuff back to where it belongs. Each time I called the contractor or the building manager I was told they were waiting for the building inspector to approve the work. So, finally, almost three months later, I got tired of their excuses and the waiting and called the City building inspector myself. I'm sure the contractor isn't happy with me rattling the cage, but they're in my apartment today closing up the ceilings. Painting should begin next week and, hopefully, everything will be back in my living room by May.

The cats are happy too as they HATE going to the other apartment while the contractors are working. I'll be happy to be able to sit down to eat meals and watch TV and use the Internet with the kitties pestering me.

I'll pass on the Artillery. I don't like gin. How about a Raspberry Martini??? I'm off work for 3 days (from my full-time job) WOOHOO!!!!! Let the partaaaay begin!!

Thanks everyone! No more deleting posts! I plead temporary insanity.

Yep, Debbie, blooms all off my pretty tree. My redbud is going crazy though. And looky what else I got:

Lilacs are my all time favorite flower. I've been lilac deprived for years. How thrilled am I to see these blooming in my yard???
YIPEEEEE!!!!

LOH, I can take Blue's Clues but Dora drives me nuts. It's the voice. So high and whiney and bossy. I like her cuz Diego though.

RedHedd, I love you guys too.

Welcome Donnaj4962! Has anyone told you the cover charge for the bar? You have to tell a clean joke. Good or bad we don't care. I'll get Lady's Human to fix you one of those drinks or is there anything else you'd like?

[Lady's Human]

DonnaJ... One round of Artillery Shot over, shot out, Fire for effect!


Moosmom... Ummm......Raspberry Martini? Whew, Mario missed the raspberries in his latest raid.

MoFF, can I get you anything besides a bottle of UnErase? I'd comment on the weight loss, but my wife IS in here frequently!

[Donnaj4962]

Oh no.... I have to tell a clean joke????

I will have to think on that one. Can I run a tab and get back to you on that???

I am babysitting tonight for my friends' children and I am sure they can help me!

I would ask my coworkers, but they have all left for the day (which is why I am on here again!)

Thanks for the welcome!
