Thursday 155 let's have fun

[Donnaj4962]

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??

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.

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?

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!

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!

Mario helped me fix a cherry rootbeer. He even let me have a real cherry to put in it. I just hope it wasn't one he kept in his diaper!!!

Just because I'm here frequently, doesn't mean you can't congratulate a friend on her achievement. We're all physically adults here.
