Thursday 127, A 'Homely' Thread??

[slick]

Val, I'd love a DOTD but it's that spiced Rum that wouldn't sit right. Maybe if you could sub some white rum...my tummy would like that better. LOL, I love the website that came from....I Drink Dot Com.

Hi Willie. Been meaning to ask you about a "house" update and where you are now. I'm afraid I'm not on PT that much these days so I hope I have not missed a thread.

[gini]

DDM, the blue Curacao always reminds me of TIDY BOWL, so I avoid those drinks. Please don't be offended, my plumber wouldn't be.

Richard, did your Dad huff and puff?

Slick - new wheels? Well, people were starting to wonder why you were driving around on your rims. Congratulations. Don't you just love home improvements/and car improvements. Always adds such a nice touch to the budget!! (as in - no food for groceries for the next month).

Is it still RedHedd's birthday - can we encourage Mario to sing to you? He does a nice warble of HAPPY BIRTHDAY! But be warned, he throws cherries at you after he is done.

Willie, I have thought about you a million times. I hope your new house is coming along well - and soon you can settle back down. Mario has been upset too.

If you want "homely" don't come by my place - carpeting ripped up - basement full of mud - firemen tracked stuff all through the house - ah, ain't life grand???

How could I even think of complaining? A prayer for everyone who has lost their entire home......and loved ones.........my problem is nothing!

A drink? It's either a rum and coke tonight - or maybe the all time favorite - a slushie. But then there is the apple martini - or maybe a cosmopolitan -
or a good ice cold glass of wine - but then there is a good beer too - I am filled with indecision.

I think I will call it a night - and check in tomorrow when I am firm in my decisions!

xxoo to all of you

Slick I got some new wheels yesterday. Well more like a new wheel. Monday I came home, got out of the car and heard the SSssssss of my tire leaking. I'm just thankful I had spent the extra money on the warranty for my tires.

Okay everyone. Time to wake up! I've got some fresh coffee made and it's about time for me to go home. Guess we'll have to send the Bloodhound out to find Richard. I noticed some of you decided to stay the night. You'll have to wake up Mario to get your keys. Have a good day, everyone!

[lbaker]

Oh please Val, let's just let sleeping Mario sleep his wee monkey dreams. If anyone wants their keys I'll just scurry up to roof and see what I can find. Coffee smells good! How about some buttermilk pancakes with real maple syrup. We still have some that Mayor Karen sent over last year from her trip to Vermont I think it was. Shall it be sausage or bacon with our flapjacks this morning? How about BOTH! I woke up hungary. Well, seeing as how it's about six hours earlier in Hungary - those folks probably woke ME up *sorry, guess I need more sleep*

My wife knows the number to the plumber/electrician/carpenter/etc. maintenance person by heart. It's my cell phone number if I'm not home, or "Dear, the ______ isn't working right, can you fix it?"

That's the number I use as well, although since he doesn't get paid for his work he is often slow in responding.

[trayi52]

Val, the coffee sounds wonderful! So does the buttermilk pancakes! I'll take some of each.

My house is coming along pretty good right now. I'll tell you all about it when they get it finished. I'll take some pictures and show you what it looks like and tell you what my husband done to save money on his project. Building material is very high right now!

Good morning all sorry I'm so late , sooo much going on here. But the good news is I was just informed by hubby I may get to go to Washington state Oct 17th for a couple of days. Yahoo we thought the trip might be off but he's done enough work after his back surjury to allow us to go. I'm so happy I haven't seen my mom for a year!
I need somee caffine to get started this morning DLC please. Hate to drink and run but only a week left of work another YAHOO!!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Hey all!

A coffee and Irish Creme sounds great! I'll take that, and maybe something to CALM the kitties down. They wanted to play all night last night .

I bet now they're sleeping...while I'm working! I think I need to make them get a job...

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

'morning everyone!

Gini, blue curacao and tidy bowl...too funny. No wonder they call it 2000 Plumbers.

Cafe' mocha sounds good about now. There's a nip in the air this morning and it's not supposed to get out of the 50's today....as compared to 86 yesterday! Yup, gotta love Chicago weather. If you don't like it, wait an hour and it will change.

Corinna, hope you get to take your trip! My best friend lives in Seattle and I got a call from her yesterday. She's coming to town for business. I just hope I'll get a chance to see her! It's been so hectic around here lately and every weekend we've got something going on out of town.....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Can I please have a double BM to go?? Thanks. Sorry I can't stop longer.

CONGRATULATIONS MOFF!!! I'm so happy your BP is down.

OK, off to check on Gini's thread now.

[RedHedd]

Is it still RedHedd's birthday - can we encourage Mario to sing to you? He does a nice warble of HAPPY BIRTHDAY! But be warned, he throws cherries at you after he is done.

No, that was Tuesday, but I'm still celebrating .... in honor of this week's theme, how about a screwdriver?

[just me]
