Twas the night before Thursday #138

[RICHARD]

Good morning all I think I'll take a hot cocoa! We are having a terrible time with freezing rain. All the schools are closed, I'm on the way to the library so the dogs will be busy running the fence to day. Thankfully Tim is home today we have a lunch date with our daughter for her birthday lunch.

I can't give any weather reports from Sunny California...so......


My Rude-o-meter already has shown the needle in the red zone.....on the freeway this morning!!

Who invented the "Cadillac Truck"???

Redd.

I put plenty of blankies on the bed...I woke up last night sweating!

One IT, with greenery on top1

DOne!

ETS,

Doncha love repair people?
You hate them when they are late-But oh so thankful when they leave!

One Cafe de Ireland!

DONE!

Corrina,
Please be careful driving around?

One hot cocoa..

DONE!

I just back from a delish lunch with ETS (Legal Seafoods OH BOY), after she defrosted a bit of course! She is now on her way back home to wait for the furnace repair person (she's lucky to have found someone who could come over today). She says she's going to work from home this afternoon but how can you type with mittens on How are you doing today Slick? Can I get you something while I'm up?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

OOH, now I'm hungry! How about a big old hamburger and onion rings? and a cherry vanilla coke and 4 cnts? Want a "good meal" before I start on all the holiday "snack" food!

[Corinna]

Thanks but in this stuff I do not drive hubby does. Looking like we are due for another freezing rain storm about 5pm to night. Yea I know your not allowed to mention the weather there , but I won't talk about the lack of poputlation here.

[zippy-kat]

I'll sympathize with you ETS; we went 3 wks without a heater! We ended up having to buy a new one. (And of course during that time, we hit record breaking lows. Figures. lol)


I have a major case of the "I don't wannas" today - good thing it's a slow day at work.

Everyone ready for the holiday? Merry Christmas early!

[emily_the_spoiled]

I am hoping that I do not have to go that long! I am leaving for the Christmas holidays on Saturday and I would like to have some heat before then... I can survive during the day, but that first step out of the shower in the morning is the killer

[catland]

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have the "all Christmas" radio station on to get into the mood. We just avoided a major freezing rain storm here earlier in the week - amazing how different life is when its 34 degrees out and not 31 degrees.

So now its just pouring down rain - ahh - Christmas in the Pacific Northwest.

Hi everyone! Just checking in for the day. Feeling a little blue today.....thank goodness I'm at work and can take my mind off things. Just read about Rocky....there's way too much sadness on PT lately. I've got to get up and shake off this mood. Oh Richard......where is that annoying guy??? I need a good strong drink. Laurie, I'm going to call you on Saturday....hopefully you will be home and not gallivanting around with rich men at country clubs.

[RICHARD]

Merry Christmas everyone.

Makes you long for a nice July in Lost Angeles, eh?

And A merry christmas back at ya!

ETS,
I know about being cold...


MOFF,

Thanks.....I am gonna fire up the BBQ and do some burgers and ribs..


one burger, onion rings a CVC and 4 cnts.....

Do you want an onion roll for your burger?


DONE!

David,

One Irish coffee for you! don't ask ME about normal....

DONE!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Please pray hard for me & the kids. See my thread under general.

[emily_the_spoiled]

Well the furnace repair person is here and he can fix it, I do not have to get a new one Who would have ever thought I would be happy with an unexpected $600 repair bill...but it is better than the $2500 for a new heat pump!

So keep up the Irish coffee until the heat is turned back on!

[Lady's Human]

Okay, Christmas shopping done (Sorry, but I borrowed the orc to help with the crowds, he's back at work now)

One God's Blessing (for those of you who aren't Spider Robinson fans, that's an Irish Coffee), and I'll join whoever is on the couch. Anyone mind if I put in the George C Scott Christmas Carol again?

One big AAARRGH to the idiots who think that the highway is a place to drive like they're in NASCAR.........My truck doesn't stop as quickly as your little Hyundai, I hope whoever you are you need to go change your shorts!

[davidpizzica]

Hey LH, good idea using ORC for crowd control! I may have to borrow him! I heard him tossing the logs around outside. I like the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. A double eggnog for me, please!

lol,


The thought of an Orc in the backseat of a pickup would caiuse some kind of a traffic incident...


If you are off the road for the rest of the day you get a LARGE OGB.....I read Time pressure (?) years ago.....I'll have to look back into that author. Thanks for the tip!

ETS, I always look at a repair bill as a donation to a college fund!


MOFF,
If you asked for PT Prayers you will probably get them!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Could I just get a 7 up? My tummy is upset. I wonder if life will ever be "normal" again. I'm hoping God has a nice house picked out for me and will help me find it and get there. It will take a miracle to get me and the cats moved. But this is the season of miracles, eh?

Chicken that I am, I'm afraid to get off the Internet because then my phone line will be free for her to call and scream at me some more. My blood pressure and tummy just can't take any more today.
