[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!

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?

[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!)

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".

[gini]

Hey, Phred is here. Now don't talk his leg off - he probably would enjoy just sitting by the fire quietly and sipping his tea.

Fleas - yeah well, it got cold here and they all disappeared - but just one warm day - and guess who is scratching himself silly. Time for one of those little treatments that he hates. He won't talk to me all day after I use Advantage on him.

LH - thanks for the rum and pepsi and lime. It really did hit the spot!

Tough tooties? Why Laurie - I never!!

Zip - come on now - you can't be sick with that paper to finish.

[Lady's Human]

Phred, One tea, coming up. Go over and sit by the fire, it's nice and toasty. Moosmom, can you make some room for him over there?

The beernuts have been replaced by pumpkin seeds, we just got done putting up enough pumpkin for eight pies, the seeds have to go somewhere, they're now roasted and lightly salted. Mario, no spitting them, they're not watermelon seeds

[Karen]

Nice weather for a good pot of Chai tea, Phred, I'll share some with you, too. I have some really nice chai with an elephant on the box that is Kashmiri chai, and as we drink it, let's say a prayer for all those in that earthquake-stricken area, and be thankful for our nice warm fire. It's okay, Lady, come over by me, and I'll protect you from the scary fire. Phred's a firefighter guy, too, so he won't let it get you, and I bet if you ask real nice, he's got a biscuit in his pockets somewhere for good dogs.

[Corinna]

Well so many different teas I will make myself some peppermint. Still a little sore on the tummy after my flu bout. If Richard has anything like I had I don't see how he went to work.We got our swap gift to day wow it was so great Flamepony really spoiled my kids. I got a great calendar of light houses one i didn't have.
Lady, come here I'll help you calm down from that roaring fire. My lady isn't crazy about them either,Dugan well let's Just say loud pops and you find him in the basement.

We checked Sara but couldn't find a single flea on her; doesn't mean they're not there though! Poor Sid and Kiss have the itchies. Regardless, ever'bunny (well, sans Piper) got a bath and frontline.

Ok, I have no more reasons to procrastinate; term paper here I come...

Oh wait! I could go make Phred his tea, first!

[RICHARD]

Darn, let me draw the blinds!!
That flaming ball in the sky hurts my eyes....

Come on out Mario....it's safe.....we are the only ones here....


What day is this????

LH,

Thank you,

Just don't tell Mario that the only game I beat him I had to cheat!

Thanks for bringing Lady in to meet the masses....I understand your reluctance to bring a loved one in here....


David.

Car shopping yet????



Thanks to everyone for keeping the bar running while I was out......
And a small bit of advice to everyone...

DON'T GET A FLU SHOT!!!

[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.
