RICHARD, I'll be your company for as long as you want. I'm a little nervous about turning 60 this friday!

It's only a number!

Hang tough my friend, we made it this far!


SG,

You would not believe some of the stories I have about my mom....


Can I tell one more?


It has to do with Joseph Cotten a old actor, Leonard Maltin a movie critic and my mom and me.


I bought a book, a kind of encyclopedia of movies. When I'd go over to spend time with her we would get to the old movies and try to figure out who the actors were. If we could not get who they were, we would look at the Leonard Maltin book as a last resort.

It got to the point-god help me, I can't remember how Cotten's name came up-where any actor we could not ID became JOSEPH COTTEN.

I'd say, "LOOK, IT'S JOSEPH COTTEN!"

She would turn to me and say, "You are a liar!", then we would laugh like idiots, try and guess who the actor was and, as a last resort, go to the book.

LOL, JC made more movies than he was ever given credit for!

[Karen]

That fire is nice, okay, I'll join you!

Okay, David, don't worry about turning the big 60! It's just one of those zero numbers, after all, and zero means nothin', right?

But another birthday - well, that's cause for cake!

A toast to dear friends, tell someone you love them today because it could be the last chance you get.

I love everyone on PT, you guys have been nothing but supportive through my struggles and you all have shared in my joys (speaking of joy, does anyone want to watch a cat play with a tennis ball? I've got one over here having a blast )

*HUGS* to you Richard and everyone! To me a hug is the greatest gift because they always fit and no one complains if you re-gift them to someone else.

David, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Here's to many more!

While were on the subject of sharing fond memories, let me share some about my dear grandmother. When I was little, I would spend a lot of time at my grandmas house when my parents were at work (especially when school was out for the summer). My grandmas yard had a pair of HUGE plum trees. I remember spending hours picking plums and eating them fresh from the tree. My grandma made the best plum preserves too Grandmas house to me was days spent outside, climbing trees or playing with all the toys that were at grandmas only She also had the coolest orange tabby cat ever. My parents had cats but they weren't nearly as friendly as old Boots. I think Boots really started me on the path to liking cats...now that I think about it Remus and Boots really have similar purrsonalites lol.

**knock knock**
Anyone home??? Is the bar still open?
It's early here.....just after 4:30am and I can't sleep. Got anything to help with this??? How about a Spanish Coffee????

**yawn** I think I'll just crash on the couch for awhile.

[Medusa]

Gosh, I should've joined you, Slick. I couldn't sleep either. Well, I'm a little late so my hazelnut coffee will have to be w/out the Bailey's because it's morning now.

Richard, those are all great stories about your Mom. Keep 'em comin'.

David, turning 60 is like turning 59 or any other number. Doesn't hurt a bit.

[Catty1]

As they say - old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative!

Or - It's not how old you are - it's how you are old.

A neighbour of mine is in his early-mid 50s and thinks he is in an unemployable category because of his age.

I am 52 and started a new career as a computer tech!

there ya go....

[Randi]

Richard, I'd love a tortilla, it has to have avocado in it, and the rest is up to you - any cheese, meat and salad - but NO BEANS, please! And I'll have a Corona (or are they called Sol in Mexico) in honor of your mom. Unos Nachos con queso tambien, por favor?

David, don't worry! You won't feel your age, until the day after!

Slick, I'll join you on the couch - if you don't mind.

[catland]

Sorry I'm so late here to the bar - been doing lots of decorating!

Richard - I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. So many of us are now in that transition of saying goodbye to our parents and becoming the "senior" generation.

I always enjoyed your stories of Eddie and your mom.

big cyber hug<<<>>>

[RICHARD]

Hey, Stopped in for a second.....

Let me serve everyone with a HUGE DONE!

I'll come back for individual orders later on!

I love you all!

[Husky_mom]

Would anyone be interested in a homemade tortilla with real butter on it.

Mega drooling... I love homemade tortillas *drools*

Phred,

Tortillas are like bread to us!

You can take a flour tortilla, deep fry it and while it's still hot take some cinnamon and sugar to it!

Or you take them hot off the griddle and you can stuff it with beans, rice and meat too!

IT's Mexican white bread!

now I need a tortilla fix.... I´m soooo hungry...

and TB is nowhere even near to Mexican food... one of these days I´ll be glad to show you some... one of these days....

I love you all!

We love you too! My chair seems to have a plush tabby cat sitting on it...hopefully he will be content to share

Who wants to pet a kitty. Catnip teas and a round for everyone, my treat!

[RICHARD]

A round for everyone! DONE!

When I get off the couch I come back to a white car in my place!

Please watch where you sit!

Who parked the white car on RICHARDS couch?

[DJFyrewolf36]

A white CAT may have had something to do with it...Where is Ed anyway?
