Thursdays #24

[stacwase]

I'll keep a candle going all day long, starting now - for everybody.

[gini]

Time for a celebration..............see Richard's post with the good news that Kayla has returned.

Let's keep the candles going.........champagne in pretty glasses looks so nice in candlelight - besides, I think the prayers are still needed here for Kayla and everyone who is having a difficult week.

[RICHARD]

thanks everyone.

Kayla turned up......

It's one of those situations where you want to hug the kid and then ring her neck for pulling a stunt like she did.....she did leave under her own free will....with a 37 year old a-hole that she took a shine to.

It's good news, with a little 'catch'...


Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and candles....You want a story to end on a high note - which it does, now you have to deal with the sequel.


I know this is a somber day but would anyone object if I have a 7&7 in a bladder buster glass?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yes, candles are still needed for so many this week, but I agree that it's time for a celebration - a muted one perhaps, but still a celebration! Kayla's back! Sounds like she still might need some help, but at least she's safe and sound. I haven't been able to respond to too many threads, but I have been reading, and this is wonderful news to start the day off with.

Champagne sounds wonderful Gini, and here's a small joke to hopefully bring a smile....

You know you've had too much coffee when....

You can type 60 words a minute - with your feet!

Richard - I was just replying to your post in General and thinking, I'll stop by and pour myself a drink. It's rainy and windy up here today so I'm going to make myself a nice warm irish coffee - heavy on the irish.


7&7 - done.

[lbaker]

Object?? Hell, I'll join you - and I don't usually even like brown liquor. I'll even get the first round. Oh joy, even if tempered joy. The candles stay lit though - it's been a super tough week (or two or three) for quite a few dear friends here - and within our own private circles as well. Mind if I kick my shoes off and wiggle my toes? I've been a bit tense.

can you type????

[gini]

A tall glass of giggles - yup - that is exactly what I need today.

[lbaker]

before or after I drink brown liquor, Richard When my arm was broken I did learn how to tie my shoe laces with my teeth though really Turned out to be quite the party trick

[slick]

Richard I'm so relieved as I'm sure you are. Call me a dumb Canucklehead but what's a 7&7???

It's raining here so hard, we are supposed to have 65 mm in the next 24 hours. I need something warm and comforting. AWWWW group hug, groug hug.......

My candle is still lit for Tonya and others with a heavy heart. I'd like to light up another one for all the homeless people and pets out there without shelter and food. And yet another one for all the animal rescue people who try so desperately to save the lives of strays and ferals.

Laurie: want a foot massage??

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm drinking ginger ale today with a cherry floating (er sinking) in it.

Such good news about Kayla. I hope things get better for every one else real soon too.

Years ago my mom would sit by the window on especially rainy nights.
She'd look out the window then turn to us, sitting in front of the fireplace, and say, "If you were homeless on a night like this, where would you go?

Our answer always was, "Under the freeway". When I get lazy or just hate working i think of what life 'under the freeway' could be like.

Last March our office moved down the block and we are now right underneath a major bridge. When we first moved in we had to evacuate a couple of homeless people that had set up shop on the parking lot. I felt kinda bad about it but what can you do??

My reality check is when I see little children going through cancer treatment and smiling about it.

BTW Richard, didn't you have puppy pictures to show us??

I'll take my specialty please: Blueberry Tea with a shot of homemade Baileys.
