    Thursday 243-Back from the Outer Zone!

    Hey y'all...

    Back from Oz,

    My temp job is over......I have an upper resp infection....and I think I will make it.

    I had a nice talk with the Scarecrow- we have so much in common!

    Anyway....I'll stoke up the fire and get things rolling here.....

    Why is this place a mess....where is the cleaning crew?

    I want to start with a ginger ale and a shot of something....anyone?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Ginger ale with orange juice - that's what Dad always fixed or us when we were feeling under the weather!

    Me - after shovelling 4 + inches of "no accumulation" and coming home to a couple more, I'll take some warm mulled cider, please!

    Welcome back! I hope you feel better. I heard of a neat drink on another web site called "Mein Gott's Blessing": coffee with a little chocolate, peppermint schnappes, and a dusting of cinnamon. That might be good for what ails ya!

    Richard, it's so good to see you back!!!! Were you easily amused??? Sorry you are feeling under the weather and I think it's about time you sat down by the fire and sipped on something strong. How about hot rum....with emphasis on the rum. That should kill all those germs.

    What's this about not liking fruitcake??? Now what would the Fruitcake Lady say about that??

    Cheers to Gini who is vacationing in Boston for two weeks. Brrrrr!!!

    Hi Momo!! Hi Karen!! Hi Smokey!!

    Richard, may I please have a shot of Grand Marnier.....warmed up??? It's chilly here too but we sure don't have the snow that Karen has.

    Cheers!!

    Hmm, that does sound good. Hi Richard. Nice to see you (hear from)
    you again.

    Fruitcake, no thanks. Anybody ever see "hard candy" being sold anywhere?
    Used to be a holiday staple.

    I got some just today at our Walmart's grocery store. They had both the regular Christmas hard candy and the filled kind. I got the filled kind.

    I hadn't seen that for years!!! We used to find it in our stockings when we were kids!!! Along with oranges and nuts!!! (and underwear)

    THAT WAS FUNNY.....I think there is a universal Book of Childhood that everyone lives by.....Do they hand it out at the hospital to parents?


    David.

    I have been stoking the fire at mom's house for a week....in exchange for lodging for Ed and I.....we both crash out in front of the fireplace and get the remote for the TV too!

    You relax, I am too much of a baby when I am sick....DONE!

    REDD,

    Some nog-less nog and some fruit cake.......look out with the cherries-Mario has been picking them off cake...

    DONE!


    JNA

    Weak tea, a bucket, a binkie and a place on the couch....I have been doing the Poor Man's cure......Vicks, the Rub not the Dog Killer, and I cover my head with the sheets!

    DONE!


    Liz,
    you also reminded me of the hard candies with the peanut butter centers.....those were GREAT!

    As soon as I can get new batteries for Orc's remote he can tend the fire. RICHARD, when Orc comes over, I want you to just sit by the not taking care of it! Want me to play bartender for a while?

    Oh here you are! I've been lookin' for y'all! Is it Friday yet? Yikes! It's Christmas too! I have an evening "wrap" session planned. I think Mitzi wants to help - she's discovered that helping mom with the Scotch tape is Phun!

    I think I'll need a slab o' fruitcake and some nog-less egg nog. Good to see everyone, Richard, put your feet up and let us wait on you!

    I don't think you got that from us, but don't send it our way (at least not yet) LH is suppose to come home tomorrow from OK and I have to be able to go pick him up at the airport.

    DUMB! to me and DONE! for you!

    MOFF,
    I did miss the place!

    Slick,
    My 'cure' for the ickies is to get real drunk....you wake up feeling punk anyway!

    LOL, The Edster is over at my mom's house.....alternating time in front of the fireplace and the recliner.

    I'll join ya in a GM!

    DONE!

    Thanks Liz.

    Oh, hard candy....My dad was a total Butter Scotch freak!

    He would hoard them and the wrappers ended up in the dryer screen-after they dissolved in the washer.....Thanks for the memory!

    LOH,
    A Mein Gott Blessing? DONE!
    And be careful on the road!

    I am caring for the fire because.....ah.......ah....I like to burn stuff?
