snow angels. I guess it's hot chocolate again for me, to keep me
nice and toasty. I'll bring cookies for dipping.

Sounds good KYS. . I think later on in the evening when it really cools down Richard can light a bonfire and I'll make up some hot cider to drink (both virgin and alcoholic varieties). Anyone up to singing Christmas carols around the fire??

Laurie: "special brownies" that takes me back a few years.

Tonya: sorry you're not feeling very well. Hope you can stay for the tree decorating.

Nice to have you here Lizbud. Drink beer?? "This bud's for you".

Hi DDM: nice to have you here too

MM: Welcome back.



Two factory workers were talking."I think I'll take some time
off from work." said the man."How do you think you'll do that?" said the blonde. He proceeded to show her...by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging upside down. The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing? "I'm a light bulb" answered the guy. I think you need some time off," said the boss. So, the man jumped down and walked out of the factory. The blonde began walking out too. The boss asked her where did she think she was going? The blonde answered, "Home. I can't work in the dark".

Slick, you got me choking up here in laughter!!!

Thursday #29 - already? You want to throw snowballs? Hmm, let me look outside - well last week we could have gotten some right off the streets of Los Angeles......today it is about 80 degrees and I don't see any snowballs today.

I think I had better order something diet along with Mugsy - these holidays are going to kill me.......too many fun things going on.

But it looks like we have a really good crowd this week.....all of my favorites are here........hope a few more check in.

Oh, the heck with the diet coke - give me one of those frosty cokes instead.

(make mental note to widen door and back bar area)

I let my self get to pooped last week or two due to all the flying. Got a clod so mint tea will do for me this week. Plus got snow today and more predicted for tommorrw and I have to drive to Kalspell tomorrow.

"Having returned to the North Pole, Santa finds Rudolph and all the reindeer unable to fly the sleigh (or count backward, or walk in a straight line, or touch their hoof to their nose). Seems they have become good friends with Santa's older brother, Dingle Kringle, who has fallen off the wagon again" Sounds like they had some of my special brownies I also happen to be a master fire builder so let me at it! On a long weekend we have the fire going 24 hrs a day, just need to throw a few logs on in the morning to crank it up - no matches needed. The bricks get so warm & toasty after a few hours it heats the whole downstairs

[catland]

Let's get started.

lbaker - your fire is great - my toes (that Richard is so kindly avoiding) are toasty. How about using some Splenda in those brownies to make them lower-cal?

Corinna - Mint Tea - Done.

Gini - glad you caved - one Icy Coke for you. 80 degrees. Must be nice - sigh.

KYS - hot cocoa it is. Do you like big or mini marshmellows?

Duke - a sandball? I'm not familiar with the ingredients in that one - can someone help me out?

T&P - That's why my favorite brand of skis is called "Rental" One DOTD for you.

BB65 - same for you - enjoy.

lizbud - looks like lb has the fire going. Pull up a chair and and have and Irish Coffee.

Slick - a karaoke Christmas - I like it. I'll need a few more DOTD's or Spanish Coffee's before I'm brave enough to join you.

[slick]

Good morning. It's a nippy one here. I'm in training all day so won't be checking in as often as I usually do, but I'll take a Spanish Coffee to start off the day please.

Laurie: thanks for taking over the fire-building. It's really warm and toasty.

[catland]

Another coffee drinker - One spanish coffee for you Slick. Hope that keeps you awake in your training.

[Logan]

The only special brownies I ever heard of included "ex-lax".....what a tired prank! Laurie, please tell me yours are special because they have more chocolate???

Hope everyone is having a nice Thursday. Our weather is gorgeous and the only thing bad about it is that I have to work, not be out there with the puppies playing instead of working!

I know it sounds kinda corny but how about a "Winter Wonderland" theme. We could all dress up in our warm ski clothes and have a snowball fight. Then we could all come inside the bar and decorate the Christmas tree. Do some of you have a very special ornament you could donate to the cause?? I'll keep the fireplace stoked up while Richard fixes the DOTD. Maybe some Blueberry Tea with Baileys???

I'll pass on the warm clothes. We are having record highs in the upper 70s. Never fear... they are saying possible snow by Monday. Good old Kansas weather, always keeps us guessing!

I'll donate one of my handpainted glass ornaments to the cause. I paint roses on them and sold some just yesterday. I am right pleased with myself.

I would like a big cold cherry vanilla coke please. Oh, and some nachos ... extra cheese. The cats would like their usual cat nip tea but on ice today! Thanks in advance!

A blind man and his guide dog enter Richards bar and find their way to a barstool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde and I'm a 6' tall, 200 pound blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the woman sitting next to me is blonde and she's a weightlifter. The lady to your right is a blonde, and she's a pro wrestler. Think about it seriously, mister. You still wanna tell that blonde joke?"

The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

By the way, I'm blonde - I'm allowed. Glad you like the fire. Don't you love the smell of those applewood logs I just tossed on

[slick]

Oh Laurie Stop it! I've just spit on the keyboard. Ooops, back to training. These coffee breaks are not long enough.....
