I will do my best to finish the decorations tonight my witty one!
I'm back after more stupidness. Stupid stupid stupid.......
grumble grumble grumble....
And now i'm out til tomorrow since I need {someone in my office has the titanic song as their ring tone...awkward} to go home and pack.
TWO out!
P.S. – I want my review Tazer!
i'm going outside to stick my head in the snow...maybe it'll cool me off enough to be able to stand being here for another hour. MAN i swear they've got the heat set at 90'!!
I am gone. See you all in the a.m.!
See ya, I'm outta here!!!
I loved how excited you got over the snow, made me smile! I think they got you on tape... LOL http://www.weather.com/outlook/videos/iwitness-huge-snowball-fight-breaks-out-19273
yup... that's about right!!! :)
Very good, you got me as I am no movie buff...
OR:
Klatsch me if you can.
Klatscher in the Rye.
Love that title! :)
Hasta la later, everyone! I'm off to brave the cold weather outside. See you in the morning!
Buenas Noches all. Will check back in later but, in the meantime, life calls......
^^

V
Ergh talk about overcompensation- the office is ROASTING right now. And of course I wore a sweater.
Grumble grumble grumble.
Our office is like a sauna today too. Granted it is only 25 degrees outside today but still enough is enough.
Agreed. It's ridiculous.
1. Have to disagree with you, Fries and mayo are THE BOMB!
2. Miricle whip- the only miricle about it is that they are still in business...
3. Clash of the Titans (original), or 48 hours.
So if we did a movie, would it be Klatsch of Titans?
Like it!
funny I grew up on miracle whip, but can't stand it now except maybe on a turkey sandwich...french fries with chipotle mayo is gooooood.
hah! ok...i'll give ya the chipotle mayo... that is pretty tasty... i know folks that do straight plain mayo for their fries. *shudder*
Miracle Whip and Ruffles potato chips. Now that's a blast from the past. I haven't had that combo for years, I may have to bust some out tonight.
so i watched a movie yesterday... 'to wong foo thanks for everything, julie newmar'. forgot how much fun it was! Patrick Swayze in drag is a hoot! What's your "recent viewing of an oldie but goodie that you havent seen in YEARS"?>
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World – total farce. mind candy.
I recognize MANY of the places around LA: Malibu, San Pedro, Long Beach, the PV peninsula, the Pacific Coast Highway. The giant "W."
The Mirror has Two Faces with Barbra Streisand and Jeff Bridges. It's very sweet and I'm a sucker for romance.
"Miracle Mile"...VERY bizarre film...
Hmm, meat and fruit is my hubby's fave, but not so much for me...don't like the sweet with my meat.
Truth – what no cobb salad, chinese chicken salad, italian chopped salad??
Nope!
My idea of the perfect salad is a LARGE bowl of iceburg, laced generously with Gerard's champagne vinaigrette, croutons, oregano and bacon bits. Yum!
My idea of a perfect salad is a large grilled chicken caesar salad. The crisp cold romaine paired with the warm slices of grilled chicken topped with the creamy Caesar dressing and shaved parmesan cheese. Mmmmmmm, heaven.
food that does not go together: french fries and mayonnaise. YUCKYUCKYUCK other than that i'm willing to try anything once. (mayo is just gross all around, i'm a miracle whip girl) :)
Did I read it correctly that the Stupid Pie has no crust...?
OK...I get from the loud silence that YES it has NO crust....me Stupid.........(sigh)
Have a good nap! Talk to you in the morning. Toodles!
Gotta grab a nap before Dallas tonite so Everyone have a safe and warm evening. Tomorrow All.
Sleep well and drive safe!
I didn't know "Dallas" was still on television...
Might want to get yourself a DVR...
niteynite!
Back from lunch with a full belly and happy. The chicken potstickers won out with a side of sweet potatoe fries...the mac n cheese just doesn't seem to have any redeeming nutritional qualties.
what?! mac = pasta = grain. cheese = dairy product. (bonus if you add milk). two of your basic food groups! and if you add tuna you've got your meats, and if you add peas you've got your veggies! :)
LOL – If I put tuna and peas in my mac n cheese, I couldn't keep it down, YUCK! Sooo the question of the day is, do you have any foods that just don't go together (for you anyway). Mine is fish + pasta or salad. ewww I love fish but cannot get it near pasta or lettuce...
Any kind of meat in a salad...Salad should be lettuce, tomatoes, dressing, croutons, oregano and maybe bacon bits...
Mine would have to be meat and fruit. The only exception is an apricot chicken dish that one of my friends makes. Yummy!
no turkey and cranberries??
or ham and pineapple? or steak with grilled cherries? oh the combos i could come up with that are delish!
Yuck, yuck and yuck.
Starting over down here so I can find the posts easily.
Did I mention I am scared of clowns? Ever since I saw the movie "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" when I was young I have been freaked out by them.
Side note – I saw the movie again last year and laughed my arse off.
kay, i'm bustin in your conver. IT has to be the scariest clown ever....
IT=scary clown movie as well.
I have to say I agree with you. Clowns are creepy... and if you think about the people that want to be clowns... shiver.
That and birds. Yikes.
I agree that people that want to be clowns are creepy. I haven't heard of anyone wanting to be a bird though.....
Side note – I would love to have the eyes of a hawk! Then I wouldn't have to buy expensive seats at concerts....
Hhaha what?! Now it'd be OK to be able to fly like a bird, but those beady little eyes and pointy beaks make me crazy.
That would be cool to have something like zoom vision. So you could see from the nosebleeders but still be able to adjust it for close up stuff. Like built in binoculars. Cool.
They said they got all that info from filling out payday loan apps.
so....are they talking about a current loan, or something from a long time ago?
If they are talking about a current loan, shouldn't they have said they got the info from the LOAN APPLICATION?
A current loan and why would they give all the the information to Kathy not knowing who she is .?
wish I could drink beer but it's too "carby." A little white wine helps me take the edge off, though..... White Merlot is good.
Greetings! We made some cinnamon hazelnut coffee over here. Since we ran out of that aramark crap.
Hmmm, care to share??? I can swing by and pick some up... Our hot water is broken here, and cannot have the soothing cup of tea that I was really craving.
I'd love to share.
The water thing is broken over there? Can you nuke the water? Then you'd at least get something.
Well, I am definitely pulling in late today... Someone did save me a cup of something overly caffeinated, right?
Survived the weekend of relatives and the younger sibling's wedding. SO glad that whole ordeal is complete.
Ready for another cold one yet?
Ummmm, if you're just handing those out, I'll take one!
Well,Thanks for asking me! No thanks,I have to drive later! I see how you are now. HA!
I'll take one too! I don't usually drink beer but my office is burning up today!
Cheers!!
Sorry guys! Here you go, just opened 2 for you. Anybody else want something while I'm up? TWO was calling everything "stupid" earlier and I was trying to cheer him up! He drank his 1st beer about an hour ago so I figured he was ready for another. Here's some pretzels, peanuts and popcorn too! RH- you can have one with us. Just pull out the sleeping bag and sleep at work tonite. HA!! :) Ladies- anyone want a cold one?
Gracias!
Yes please! What are you serving?
beer me please! i worked up a thirst earlier...
I'm already on numero three. I only get the first one served to me. After that I just help myself :) I will take the two open ones though....
Not sure what everybody likes so I brought in domestic and import!!
You forgot about the burnt ends but thats o.k.
DOH! i'm just so wound up from our victory i forgot all about food!! many apologies!! what kind of sauce did you use??
As they say,Sauce covers up BAD BBQ! Yet,and no joke,being from Texas the BEST sauce I have ever had was from Rudy's BBQ! You can order it online and Thank me later. It's got a pepper bite yet it's not black pepper and I use it on Pork chops and meat loaf. I love this stuff!
my fave are rubs. several years ago i would judge the American Royal rub contest here in KC. so many diff rubs, so YUMMY. and most times i'd luck out and be able to take a baggie home full of my favorite ones.
i shall try it out! my current 'fave' is my friend Bob's bbq team's sauce. just the right combo of sweet and hot.
Yumm! Evil, but yumm...
Any lawyers here?
I manage a building full of them. What type of law is your issue?
I got some jackwagon calling the first lady telling her that she took out a "payday loan" for $2000 in November. Also said she didn't pay it back. Told her she would be going to jail if she didn't send 2 grand today. Pretty sure this is a scam, for a couple of reasons:
1. We only have one account, and there was never a deposit for that much.
2. Noone would give us a loan for that much.
3. A legitimate company would not (should not) threaten jail, and would not require it immediately when it supposedly only a little over 30 days old.
The First lady, however, is terrified and I am trying to calm her down.
definitely a scam. take the number/acct info she's supposed to send the cash to and call your local PD with the info. i've heard about this scam in recent days...
One of my tenants just directed me to this:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm
Anotehr thing to consider is if this is a case of identity theft. Could someone have done this in the first lady's name? Can they provide you with a signed loan agreement, address of branch where it was taken, check copies, etc. All things to consider.
Pretty sure that's a scam, from the banking industry.
First, it would go to collections. There's no such thing as debtor's jail in the US.
Second, I have never seen a payday loan for more than a couple hundred bucks. I'm relatively certain that you can't get a 2K loan from one of those joints.
Also, any loan would require some sort of paperwork/signature, so if she's not aware of it then it's likely fake.
All good points, and things I was considering. The scary part is that they had her social. I am going to attempt to call them when I get home. I instructed her if they call again to get all info she could and tell them a lawyer will be calling them back.
As for the jail part, they are telling her that they are going to press charges for check fraud.
make that, "send her to jail for check fraud". not press charges.
I take that as a no.....
I'm BACK! we creamed the opposition!!! tomorrow rematch will be riotous i'm sure! thank goodness i had my spiffy boots on, my feet are gloriously dry! but my snow hat is soaking wet... my arms are tired and mittens frozen. hot cocoa pls RH!
and to add to the stupid: stupid midwest drivers who hug your bumper and honk at you when they slide sideways cuz they're snow-stupid. and zyrtec works wonders on cat allergies TWO, i also suffer from the feline sneezies.
ps..i agree Tazer – living alone is the best ever!!! a whole house of quiet solitude. just me, my dogs, a hot toddy and a roaring fire is on the menu when i'm finally able to get home tonite...
there...am i all caught up now?
Oooo I so miss having a fireplace. Nothing beats a fire on a cold night.
It's crazy how many people are allergic to cats.
what's weird is that i wasnt always alllergic. i was immune till i hit 22. then all heck broke loose. just looking at short hairs make my face go 'PUFF!' but for some reason long hairs take a lot longer to make me sneeze... if i could i'd have a siamese roaming the halls at home. :) they're so smart!
Isn't that awful?! I'm immune to cat allergies too. I still can't pet them and then rub my eyes or all h3ll breaks lose. I have 2 cats...
I think I tried Zyrtec at first and it didn't help. I have tried just about every allergy med under the sun.
that's a bummer!! whenever i go volunteer at the local humane society i have to dose myself – even tho i'm not around the cats directly i still get sneezy. hmmm... zyrtecs the best i know about.
10 minutes to lunchtime and I'm in a quandry...what to have for lunch when 1/2 my mouth is not working?? chicken pot stickers or lentil soup...or mac n cheese. help
Mmmmmm potstickers. Although it sounds like the soup would be easier for you to eat.
mac n cheese definitely! :) perfect for a cold day... match it up with some tomato soup and you've got heaven!
Bacon Mac and Cheese. Your welcome.
I will have to 3rd the vote for mac and cheese. Hot, creamy mac and cheese will cure just about anything.
Oh! That's right, how was your appointment? Here's some jello, pudding, mash potatoes and soup for you!
I have to wonder if anyone has ever tried to make the "Stupid Pie" recipe...Does not sound appealing though...
And while on the subject of annoying co-workers, one of my colleagues decided that she could not make it in today, due to snowfall in the Denver metro area. This same colleague goes skiing every freakin weekend. Grrr....
I forgot to ask, how's your admin's hubby?
He may be released today. They think it was due to a ulcer that went into hemmorhage. He's not a drinker, which I gather is the most common cause. She is pretty much a mess, so she is at home today. Thanks for asking.
Btw, thought of you this weekend. Was in the car, and heard "Killer Queen"...:)
Yes, I am dynamite with a laser beam. Glad to hear he's doing okay. I was going to ask last week if he was a drinker but I didn't want to imply a problem that might not have existed.
I'm getting a stupid headache... :(
i have tylenol if you need it.
Apparently this is the recipe for Stupid Pie.
4 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
28 crackers (saltines or Ritz)
2 cups Cool Whip
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
Add vanilla and sugar to beaten egg whites. Beat until smooth. Add crackers (coarsley broken) and chopped pecans. Mix well. Pour into an ungreased pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
No chocolate? :( waaahh!
I'm gonna hafta try this at least once.....on principle alone.
Any one have a recipe for Stupid Pie? We should invent one.
Someone already beat us to it. Apparently it involves egg whites, sugar and Ritz crackers.. Doesn't sound at all appetizing to me but to each his own.
How was Colonel Sanders a typical male? .....All he cared about were legs, breasts, and thighs. HA! Botta Bing!
How can a clerk at KFC keep a straight face when asking a customer: "Legs, Breasts, or Thighs?"
MMMMMM..Me like Brestesses!
LOL!!! hehe!
Stupid coffee mug....
Herro!
Would you like a stupid hug?
Yes please! Boy do I need one today. What a crappy stupid morning which will probably be followed by a stupid afternoon and closed out with a stupid evening. And for dessert? Stupid pie.
Here's {{{{HUG}}}} from me. Hope it helps!
{{{{HUG}}}}}
I see you are mad at your stupid roommate. This is why I live aaaaalllll alone- I don't play well with most others.
If it makes you feel any better my coffee lid just broke and leaked all over me. Bllarrrgghhh
Thanks :) That hit the spot.
I too will be living the alone life in a week. That is my bright shining light at the end of my stupid weekly tunnel.
Next week I will be tons better since I will have actually been able to get a full nights sleep for the first time in 2 years. I will also not be slowly suffocating to death from the allergies I have to the three devil cats that prowl the apartment.
OUCH! That really sucks with the allergies and the cats. Very inconsiderate.
My last one was what broke me for life. She was nuts. For some reason avoided me like the plauge, and in an 800SF house it was super awkward. And she treated the dogs like doo, had her BF stay over every freaking night... Never again I tell you, never again.
I'm the one that told her she could bring the cats into the apartment. Stupid me.....
I will now be living alone until I am either married or in a really serious relationship that will most likely lead to marriage. And I will have a pool table.
Sounds like a good plan, I'm at that point too. No roommates, no BF, no plans to live with another human until I get to that "serious relationship" point. Too much hassle.
And, the psycho came back after she moved out and smashed my veggie garden. Dunno what I did to her... crazy!
OOO a pool table! I want one too. I'd also love to have a wet bar. With a wine fridge.
A wet bar is the way to go!
Who does that? I mean, I sort of understand smashing things that break but a veggie garden? All you end up with are dirty shoes.
Side note- I worked in a furniture warehouse for a while when I was younger. We got to smash old furniture all the time. Boy does that take the stress out!
I know, right, who does that? I wasn't aware that we had ended our roommate-ship on bad terms...? It confused the hell out of me and made me super mad, that garden took a lot of work to get going!
One stress reliever I used to partake in when I was a teenager was buying watermelons and throwing them off an 800 foot tall bridge. Totally ridiculous but it was pretty awesome.
Hey you two are both single, seem like nice people, tell you what, I just booked a reservation for two at 8:00 at Citronlle and the first bottle of wine is on me. The rest of the night you're on your own. East Coast/West Coast relationship, you can make it work.
Funny guy!
The restaurant looks mighty fine!
This is a direct quote from Citronelle's website!!!!
"Sample a sensual symphony of flavor and wit – lovingly conducted by a playful artist whose singular style never fails to surprise."
@Tazer – You can have a sensual symphony of flavor and me for dinner ;)
Oh boy...i'm going to get myself in trouble again.
See my last post to Sir Biddle :)
And smashing watermelons sounds like a blast. You weren't dropping them on cars off this bridge, were you? Cause that would be bad.
Sounds like the restaurant was hand-picked for ya!
HAHA YOU'RE going to get yourself in trouble? I'm having to bite my tongue ahah.
Careful with any words that start with, end with or include the big four letter word: L-O-V-E on the first date. Take it slow man, take it slow, don't scare her away with using the word lovingly, if even in quotes.
Just mention me at the wedding.
@Tazer! – Don't hold back on my account! And where is that review?!?
@Sir Biddle – Sorry coach.....
The review is almost ready! I think I'll send it via a singing dancing clown. Candy gram!
Stupid cold weather....
stupid people...(not the flamenons of course)
stupid roommate.......
stupid work........
grumble grumble grumble.....
I'll add one more to it. Stupid Jane, my moronic co-worker!
You've mentioned "Jane" before. What's her deal?
Although I tend not to insult folks who can't insult back, I trust your opinion and will state the following:
Stupid Jane.....
Well, where do I start with Jane. Basically she's an insecure person who when given an ounce of power feels she has the nuclear codes of the president. Think Frank Burns from MASH in female form but is not likeable. It will be a glorious day when she retires.
You just described the majority of the folks living in the DC and surrounding areas :)
Exactly!
Would you like an ice cold beer? :)
I will take one stupid beer please.....
Stupid beer coming right up!
mmmm....my favorite type of beer!
Take a deep breath, calm down and remember that there is a paycheck coming ......
A Stupid paycheck.....
Stupid bills......
Sorry. Just trying to be helpful.....Stupid helpful. Me bad.
I'm just messing with you. I get a smart paycheck :)
Well. GOOD for you! Any pay in this economy is good pay.
alrighty folks! it's still snowing here in KC... i'm on my way outside for the big 'war'. okay if i send casualties in for repairs? get the hot cocoa on, i'm sure i'll need it!!!
I shall have HOT cocoa and Burnt Ends ready for YOU!
Q: What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was pregnant?
A: 'Is it mine?'
HA! That's a good one!
I have more but I don't want to be TOTALLY annoying....(but thanks!)
Howdy ho Chummers! Wish I could report some dramatic weather from here but it's a gorgeous morning.
Are You talking about the heater in your car or at home?
Home. :(
Dang,What type of SlumLord Hood do you live in?
It's not bad, and the thermostat looks relatively new, but it's stuck on 73 and won't let me program it. SAAAD. And considering I can't get the LL to call back about anything (including a mysterious $65 I supposedly owe them) I doubt it'll be fixed without me busting out my tool bag. I think that'll be tonight's project.
Just a couple of thoughts-Did ya check to see if it has batteries? Take them out,wait 5 minutes and put in fresh. Normally on the inside cover it has programming instructions. If it's hard wired-Steal a can of Dust-Off from work and BLOW the crap out of the inside of it. There should be a small glass bubble of Mercury in there so DON"T break it,yet right above it you should see TWO copper contacts. Dust may have settled on those. Spray that also and DON"T shake the can. It's actually a mixture of freon and other stuff. Here's another $65.00 Bill for you.
Thanks for the tips! Here's prayin' it's fixed.
Not to sound like a dumb blonde, but I didn't know those things had batteries.
It's o.k. you have enough smarts to be OUR Sargent@Arms. The cover should flip UP as in ^! . Normally it's 1 or 2 AA batteries and you should see them when the cover is open. Have a flashlight with you so you get the polarity correct and then Break out the beer!
I need you to call me asap
Hah. One triumphant step closer to world domination. This is a good thing my chums, a very good thing.
I have a floor to ceiling wall of windows behind my desk/in front of teller line that overlooks a park. It's nice.
Windowless here too... :( It makes me take a break about every hour to walk outside which is a good thing.
Afternoon, folks. May I join in on the cold hate? I don't the freezing temps so long as there is snow on the ground and I can curl up to a window and LOOK at it and not actually GO OUT in it. Unfortunately, I work in an office with no windows. Slave driven, I tell you. I do miss the sun dearly.
Spring, I cannot wait for thee!
Good Morning or Good Afternoon depending on where you are. Group{{{{{HUG}}}} from us all. Do You want us to come talk to your Boss about a window?
Its snowing . (Nicks happy)
Well, it got down to the 30's overnight here, weather called for snow, but it went north and south of us. missed us completely, sooo.... just another Monday morning here.
normally this where i'd offer to share... but its not gonna happen! i'm being selfish with my snow today! you cant have any. i'm going out at lunch to have a snowball fight and i'm gonna need all the ammo i can get. (i'm quite serious folks...snowball fight in the quad here at work! these steel toed boots are gonna get a workout)
High of ten expected in Denver today...A little much even by my standards...
And as much as I HATE to agree with Al Gore on anything, I do believe in global warming. Whether or not it is caused by humans, can be argued all day. The evidence though bears it out, even despite localized areas being cold in winter...
Exactly, this is NOT why we live in So Cal!
Right? I mean, since when is the Central Coast prone to freezing? I had to de-ice my dang car this morning. Grrr....
I know a lot of y'all live where it's super cold, but we're not prepared for this!
i feel your pain... i feel the same way when it's mid 40's for 3 weeks straight in february and then all of a sudden we get 3 days of 70+ weather. outta whack i tell ya... just tell the doggies to sit on your feet to warm them up. :)
Yes that's a necessity, as my heater is broken (still). Quite miserable unless I wrap the 2 of them up in a blanky with me.
Ahem. War Eagle. Go Falcons. It snowed 5" at our house. The wiener dogs (Oscar and Mya) refused to go out (too low to the ground). Hubby is stranded in Baltimore but might make it by nightfall. Crank up the chicken noodle soup. Light a fire, work some crossword puzzles and watch the wild turkeys in the back yard. I've petted them, you know. They act real tough like a motorcycle gang but they are really quite friendly. Smooth and silky and good eatin'.
Wow! That sounds like a fabulous day. I should try to come up with an excuse to leave work. Go home, light a fire, do puzzles, but I'd make cheddar potato soup I think. :)
"Marshal Dillon and Miss Kitty,Doc's gonna operate on my leg so I'll be gone for a few days"!
Sorry, Chester. I'm a little too young for Gunsmoke references but I always did think that Marshall Dillon was a cutie pie!
Mornin' darlin's!
It was 32 here JBJ... WTF?
After our discussion on Saturday,YOU have been elected to Sargent@Arms for The New World Order. Now Truth and I realize you are a "Rookie" Yet don't let this bother you in any way. Wanna Arm Wrestle?
What went down on Saturday? I want in on this NWO.
Rookie doesn't bug me! I'll be the best Sargent@Arms possible for our takeover!
I could so beat you arm wrestling.
Not so fast Missy,unless I let YOU win. :) SirB- You and Jerv are Head of Propaganda Dept. We needed Major B.S.'er's for this position and although we Did Not go thru chain of Command,It is Now your job. SaraEllen is Head of Research and I must say We were very lucky in finding her!
HA, how fitting! I'm a natural for the job. Count me in.
Morning chummy chums, West Coast checking in. A too cold 37 degrees this morning, expecting a high of 59. Is this really global warming!? I think not!
HAH!!!
Word of the Day: lickerish
I am positively lickerish when it comes to warm, gooey cinnamon rolls from the local Korner Kafe.
Keep the JDizz bait coming, this is funny.
i'm trying!! :)
Lickerish is a positively wonderful word of the day. Good choice, Wendy.
I love red lickerish! HA!
book to read: So Cold the River by Michael Koryta. VERY good read! if you at all enjoy the premise of hauntings, you'll love this one! it is similar to The Shining in that the base of the haunting is a small town/hotel. but that's where the similarities end... if you need a good book to read, go pick it up! :) very quick and easy to read..highly entertaining.
I will put it on my "must read" list.
i promise you'll love it! :)
Is it a little hot in here or is it just me? I think I need a fan.
it's hot... they've got the heat in here cranked cuz of the snow... i wouldnt survive if not for the fan on my desk! i'll turn it to oscillate... let me know if any of the breeze is hittin you.
Well, we did our best to try and get vapoer to come out and play. Have a good day and stay warm.
You too!
will do. snowball fight at noon!
This is why I love you,Wendy. Not only a BBQ Queen but also already preparing for Baseball season. Gosh,Every mans dream girl!
absolutely! me and the dogs were out earlier...of course they kept eating the 'balls' and freaking out when they'd disappear. :)
I may need to borrow them if the dastardly S.F.Giants come to Arlington again!
For whatever reason when I think of Vapor or any troll, I picture the spastic, ritalin infused kid in the movie Smokin Aces. Anyone scene it – great movie.
ohmygosh yes!! i havent seen that movie in ages... yep... i can def see the similarities! :)
I always pictured him as Jimmy Wichart from King of the Hill.
GOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOORNING CHUUUUUUUUMS! (yes, i truly am this annoying in the mornings...i just usually tone it down for my Chummers...) it snowed in KC last nite and i am loving every inch of it!!! i had 4" at my house this morning when i left for work, and it's still falling!!! oh happy day!!! the drive into work was a treat due to the all the dumdums that freak out when precipitation falls from the sky...but no matter. i wore my 'I love snow' hat and big old industerial Servus steel toed boots. i'm in heeeeeeeaaaaaaveeeeeeen!
The Chiefs could have used those Boots yesterday. I was still rootin' for 'em tho!
amen! they played well the first half but apparently decided to go home at halftime. thanks for the rooting...they definitely needed it! :)
If "i am loving every inch of it!!!" or "i had 4" at my house this morning" doesn't draw JDizz to comment, I don't know what will.
I get teh feeling that our friend is doing the equivalent of sitting in corporate timeout...
or he was fired for "b*** slappin'" somebody!
he has been absent...maybe vapor got him!! eeeek!
You aren't poppin' off too much this morning??? Are you feeling ok??? :)
AND WHERE IS JDIZZ??? WE NEED HIM ON THE VAPOR TRAIL!!!
I know, where is Jdizz? I'm going to check and see if he posted over the weekend.
I'm betting the evil couchbag confiscated his iPhizzle.
Yes,I am a Happy Man. The Colts got Beat-JETS,JETS,JETS- Yet my Cheifs Lost-Bummer! It's all good tho. How are you little one?
I'm good! Sad to see the Chiefs lose as well.. :( It was a COLD weekend. Sat morning it was 10- yes you read right, 10 BELOW!
10 Below what? Oh, and if you find Brett-Please send him home,the cows and horses need feeding. Thank You!
Caramel rolls, yum! I'm going to have to up my pilates classes to twice a week now.
Pilates...I love drinking those...
The red ones with the pink umbrellas are especially tasty.
Do you have room for another person in that class? I'll need to go too. Just ate another caramel roll. This time I slathered butter over the top of it! Do we have milk in the fridge??
I've got chocolate milk in there but maybe I should think about the language you used on the other thread. HA! Good Girl.
Hey, simmer down. I used a "!" instead of an "i". :)
Purple umbrella for me,please! Your turn dear.
One purple umbrella coming up! Sorry, I was a little slow on the other one. I'm up to speed now.
After a 3 hr.marathon I can see why. Be back in a minute.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I thought YOU would like that one. Good to see you laugh!
That was a good Monday morning chuckle. It really "tickled" my funny bone.
Hey guys! Happy Monday- Jerv- you're back! YAY! Just posted a comment to Vapor for ya. :)
I made homemoade caramel rolls this morning for everybody. They're still warm! Enjoy!!
Man, that sounds fo good. Thanks. Yeah I saw you trying to get our buddy vapor to come out and play. I hope he gets wound up today. I don't have internet at home, so consequently I don't post here on weekends.
Yea, he thinks he's crushing people but I think he's funny. What afool. Seriously!
I don't come on here on the weekends either. Too much to do!~
*homemade*
Wow, if you really make those homeade I'd love to have the recipe.
Grrr! I hate insurance companies! People are afraid of Obamacare and death panels, well guess what? We already have them and they're called Anthem and Wellpoint. "I'm sorry ma'am we won't pay for you to start getting mammograms at age 30 regardless of your family history and the fact that you've had 2 biopsies in the past 3 years. But we will pay for your radical mastectomy, lymph node dissection, chemo and radiation after you find your 5cm lump that has already metastisized." Not to turn this food blog into a political rant but Grrrrrrrrr!
The answer is very simple-Hold at 29. And please-I Hate it when people get Political on a Food Blog. Just sayin'.
It's now official. I will stay 29 forever! And with the help of my stylist I will stay blonde forever too :)
Good Girl. I'm Proud of you. : d)
I'm with you...What disturbs me most of all is how gradually we came to accept this economic enslavement. When my generation was growing up, if we got sick, we went to the doctor. That was it. Today, if you are fortunate enough to have a job with insurance, it will only be after meeting hefty deductibles, copays, and the maze of what is/isn't covered. Sad times we live in, to be sure.
And for the record, my Mom survived a double radical in 1985. Still kicking. So I do know from whence you speak.
People think when you work in the health care industry that you must have fantastic insurance coverage. Not so, chums. Our insurance costs are less than stellar (the coverage, minus the above gripe, is decent). This year they made such a huge deal about our premiums not going up however in the fine print our deductible went up instead. Usually a higher a deductible means a lower premium but not in the health insurance world. Again I say, Grrrrr!
Like a bad case of VD, Vapor is back at it...fighting with himself on the Guy Fieri thread...Be warned...
Vapor is teh awesome. I know you guys don't like him, but I think he's the most amusing troll ever.
I agree. Looks like I made it back just in time for the fun.
Like I said to Jerv, I love messing with Vapor too. He's such a fool. HAHAHAHA!!!
MOrnin' all.
Is it Friday yet?
Sorry, my friend, it's only Monday. I've got a bagel with grape jelly that I could go halfsies on if that will cheer you up.
Thanks, but I don't think even a grape jelly covered bagel will work this morning, I think I will go over and abuse vapor for a while.
Are you sure you want to do that? Grape Jelly cures everything.
Morning crew. 25 and cloudy here with 2-4 inches of snow expected overnight. BRING IT ON!!!. Also, the 3 dozen various secuirty forces in the city are all on edge with the Arizona incident on Saturday. The neighbor who usually has one security team, had three this morning.
Today might be a good day to watch who you stand next to in line at lunch.
Crap, I just realized I forgot my lunch at home. Oh well, the Packers won yesterday, so it can't be that bad.
Hmmm...Me thinks today is the perfect day to have Jane run Point for you. Just sayin'.
Security team? Sounds like someone is a part of Alphabet Soup ;-)
He is a memebr of the 435
435 members of congress?
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
I can't imagine thinking that I am so important that I would need three security teams
Good morning all!
I was in Montreal briefly this weekend with my fiance... got a chance to stop at a store and pick up Montreal style bagels.
Quite different... sweeter and denser than the NY style I'm used to. But quite tasty!
Hmmm... and also picked up some candy from Canada. Coffee Crisp... hmmmmm *nom*
That stinks! (the snow and the smoke detector) Why do the batteries always go dead at night? Hubs stockpiles batteries like the end of the world is coming so we always have a replacement on hand but something about dragging a dining room chair down the hall at 2am to change it really sets a bad tone for the day.
Good morning all!
6-10 inches of snow fell yesterday, so today's commute was a mess, even for my bus. High ot ten expected today. To make matters worse, the smoke detector battery died sometime during the night, so we had to endure the beep every ninety seconds or so...
BEEP-What did you say? Morning Brother. Ten is a wee bit cold for me. Interesting discussion Sat. with us and Tazer! We need to make her sargent @ Arms for our New World Order!
Do we have any sausage links this morning? I need some protein to go with my pancakes.
Well,if my calculations are correct and she moves there-That will give Cleveland a population of 3!
I've got some Polska Kielbasa-Want me to throw it on the grill?
Sounds delish- although it may be a little early in the morning for naked grilling not to mention a little cold.
Good Point. Guess I could always fry it.
Make sure to put a splatter shield over it. Grease burns hurt! I've still got one on my hand from this weekend, ouch!
my little sister went with her hubs to Cleveland and it's 15 degrees there. hee-hee...she's thinking about moving there and I really hope that changes her mind. Off to do some work this morning!
Good Morning! How's the weather?
61 and sunny...not warm enough for me, but I'll take it! How's the weather out there?
Cold-High of 42 degrees. Gonna run Dallas this week 'cuz of the sleet and other stuff headed your way.
I think I can remember warm weather...but it's a little hazy right now. I think my brain has frozen along with everything else in this area. Hoping it doesn't snow tonight/tomorrow because I really want to go to work tomorrow (shocking!) and in theory construction will be over tomorrow :-D
BTW-Did we do good on taking care of that Scoundrel for you?
I haven't heard anything from him recently so something must have happened ;-) Altho I could probably ask my mom since she stalks him on facebook to make sure he doesn't get within a one state radius of where I am.
We are at YOUR Beck and Call-24/7!
Oh so I forgot to share my great news with you all, not that you'll really care but I care deeply. Thing 2's front bottom teeth have finally broken through! Do you know what this means? This means mommy (that's me) won't be walking the floor with him at night waiting for the Ora-jel to kick in and mommy (still me) won't be getting up at 3am to apply more Ora-jel and walk the floor some more. Although I have found every freakin' loose floorboard in hall way over the past 2 weeks.
I may send WD up your way. She needs a Good Walking around those hours and I'm usually sleeping.
Sleep? What's that? Is that what's supposed to happen when you close your eyes at night? I vaguely remember experiencing that a couple of years ago. Maybe one day I'll get to experience it again but until then I'll just single handedly keep the undereye concealer division of Neutrogena afloat.
congrats!!
Good Morning!
Good morning! Are you anywhere near Largo? My mother-in-law lives there (she's a snowbird) and I'm trying to gauge how much griping about the cold weather I'm going to have to listen to the next time she calls. For a woman who's lived in Toronto her whole life you'd think she'd be able to handle a little winter weather.
I am quite close to Largo (20 mins or so). I feel like everyone (myself included) gripes about the weather here because I think it's easier to get acclimated to warmer weather faster. This is a home-spun theory, mind you, but that would explain why people move to Florida, and 2 years later can't handle weather under 72 degrees.
Hubs and I had to listen to her complain about her hydro (electric) bill yesterday and the bills of all of her neighbors. She lives in one of those 55 & older communities like Del Boca Vista from Seinfeld. Apparently the high hydro bills have been the talk of park at the weekly bid euchre tournament.
I see the horse thread is still going strong.
I vote we take it out to the pasture and put it down.
No kidding.
O.K. I'll bite-What's a BB?
Someone else is Queen of those (hint, hint)
Sorry, A little sloooooooow this morning. Huh?
It's your turn if you want the answer.
Well, the one draw back of taking a day off is having to play catch up when you get back to work. Cath you later on and keep that Queenie in line.
Kat, yup definitely a suky Monday but just be glad you don't have doctors yelling at you.
bb=baby (at least, that's how I reference them)
Same here.
Morning guys. 8 AM, and already trouble at work. It is a Monday.
Kat, the only thing I can say to make this better is that tomorrow will be Tuesday. I hope your weekend, at least, went well.
I've sent out for bagels this morning.
Good Morning,Thanks for the Bagels.
We only have one Manning in Indy and he's doing just fine emotionally at least. He still needs to have that forehead of his downsized but otherwise, he's good. I wish it would flood here. Rain is much better than the 3-6 inches we're supposed to get between midnight and 7p tomorrow. Have I mentioned that winter sucks?
Sorry, that should be 3-6 inches of snow(my fingers are too fast this morning). And we're not going to be above freezing all week.
I know, what is up with that forehead? BBs??
Yeah, I'm not getting this either, my queen.
Me thinks Peyton isn't too far above Cro-Magnon man on the evolutionary scale. But on the plus side the Colts can probably us it to view old games if their projector screen ever breaks.
Gentlemen,The Queen is being VERY Naughty this morning. There are children in the room My Queen!
Richard, it's not my fault that maturity wise you're only one step above a 3rd grader. Ha! My first zinger of the day!
Well,That puts me one level above The Mannings! Zing!
Yes,My Brother had some Great Zingers out there! How's the weather up yonder? It should be flooding in Indy with all The Mannings crying a River!
Freezing cold. Won't even top 30 today and we get snow/freezing rain tonight. I bet Queeniie is crying the blues.
Only hitting 42 degrees here and a low of 28 degrees tonite. Guess I better go get a 3 pack of Puff's for the Queen. Don't want her Yelling about a sore red nose.
Where is my Little Buddy Jerv? He has been MIA since Friday! Is it Amber Alert time yet? Should WD and I get the blooodhounds ready?
Good morning RicH. I took Friday off cuz I desperately needed a mental health day. New job and all. On the weekends, I like to "unplug" so no internet then. You are a Jets fan?
Alright,Your o.k. I was about to call Kojack! Any team that beats The suck Azz COLTS are my favorite team. Maybe The Queen shall sing a LOSER song for us all this morning. HA!
Kojack LOL! I remember that show. Balled dude always had a tootsie pop. Man, Thursday was a riot. 2 and snowbunny had me rolling with their horse comments. They ahd the vegans running for cover. And OMG, Truth was laying people out!
I may have to look up this Kojack fellow. I love bald men and tootsie pops!
Oh, Telly Sevalas. I don't like bald men and tootsie pops that much.
It's 5:04 and no one has posted yet? SLACKERS!
What,NO Coffee? Jets,Jets,Jets! I'll put the coffee on for everyone and Good Morning ALL!.
with all due respect, you will never see a post from me that early. The last time I was awake at 5:04 am, it was because I was still up from the night before :)
