Ms. Grammar- I've had Coffee Crisp from Canada ad well. YUM!!
Please ... the name is "Kaffeklatsch" not coffee klatsch. When using foreign words, it would be so good to spell them correctly in their original language and not "americanize" them. It literally means "gossip at coffee hour". Kaffeeklatsch is for the Germans what High Tea is for the Britons.
Thank You,and we never intended to make anyone mad by Americanizing a phrase that we heard. My Apology's if we have offended you.
No offense taken. Just offering a little cultural education. Take it or leave it :-).
English may be a Germanic language, but we don't run words together that way German does. ;-)
Good Evening,Fearless Leader...I seem to have been Moderated on a 5@5 post,which is a quote from a very Famous song. Yes, In the "old" Days you would have threatened me with the Spatula...Well,I'm a Big Boy now. I can tie my own shoes,put on clean clothes and say "Yes Sir and Yes M'am" with the Best of them. But Kat, To be moderated without using the F-Word which is prevalent on the weekends by others, The S-Word which just all of a sudden appears on ESPN and should be O.K. to use.....That is Not me. I have learned what the Rules are concerning Your website,Yet to be Moderated for a Famous Quote from a very memorable Song.... concerning 9/11 and staying on subject regarding 5@5-this one boggles my mind. Love You Both tho. RHx.
Just got back from lunch. Had an unbelievable chicken parmigiana panini. Best of all, it was free. A friend of mine is a restaurant reviewer and this week's assignment was a new Italian place near Wash Park in Denver. Yum!
No fair! I want a friend who's a restaurant reviewer too! Off topic, how's the BP?
As of labor day weekend I have quit everything (well almost everything) that is remotely fun and I am down as of yesterday to 135/110, which is my personal best for a LONG time. Once I get into a close to normal range, I will go in, re-test and enroll in school for January. Thanks for remembering.
For anyone who cares, my friend did the review on page seven...Nice to have a friend who gets paid to go out and eat. Nice work if you can get it.

Fun times on the 5 things you don't want to hear from your waiter page.
Alee- well, I could of had my Outback leftovers as part of breakfast.... but had plans.
Truth- you lucky lucky dog.
Oh... I'm about to do an unofficial taste test.
I love British candy. Say what you want about British food, their sweet tooth leads to some excellent candy. Cadbury is a British company, and their sweets are better in Brittan then they are here.
So, Nestle in Brittan has a bar called the Aero- a milk chocolate bar filled with bubbles of air, made by Nestlé and primarily sold in the UK and some other countries (most with long term ties to the UK). It's quite excellent, and when I'm in Canada I make it a point to pick one up.
Now, at the store last night, I found the Hershey's Air Delight... which looks like it's their response to the Aero... *AND* it's US based.
I'm about to comparison test them for myself.
I remember having something like that during one of my many trips over to Holland. It was called BROS and sounds a lot like what you just described.
Let us know how it tastes and compares!
Tried it – similar mouth feel, but Hershey chocolate tastes far different than nestles or cadburys. I agree and LOVE the Aero bars. I have family in Canada and get regular "CARE" packages from them. That candy, and COFFEE CRISP (remember that one???) are always included.
Cool! Looks like Apple has patented 3D hologram technology. Thats going to do wonders for SirBiddle and Cherry Potters porn careers! Rock on Star Trek!

Hello! It looks like the party started early this morning in the lounge. Glad to see I'm the only one getting any work done. Slackers! I kid, I kid.
C'mon. Being a mom of 2, you know some of us can multi-task. ;)
Especially when we LOVE what we're working on! ;)
I understand you have the DQ credit card? Does it smell like ice cream when you swipe it?
Haha! I know, I'm going to pay tomorrow for messing around so much today. But it's so much fun!
Messing around is the SPICE of Life!
You are so right.
Some poor bastard going by the name "Beernifer" is taking a beating on the 5@5. That's me posting as Plato. I don't know why folks have to be so fraking nasty.

The General definitely nailed that one.
Perhaps Jeann will have to weigh in...

I think photos of you both are in birthday order for the klatch.
/Users/stxlegend/Desktop/hankhill.jpg
Here's my picture.
Well that didn't go well. Give me a few and I'll figure it out.
We must place our ice cream cake orders with the Queen soon. What kind do 'ya want and how many candles?
If we go with Cold Stone (nodding to DJCP), Cake Batter ice cream with cookie dough & chocolate chips mixed in. From DQ? All chocolate I.C. with brownies mixed in! What are you ordering from QOE for your cake? Candles? One less than you. How many was that again?
Cake batter ice cream (from anywhere) is one of the best ideas since the wheel and fire. just sayin'
The Queen is a card carrying DQ Dudette..she gets the special discounts. Hmmm.the chocolate and brownie does sound good. Remember now, You are older than me and the Queen does NOT play well with fire. :))
Cold Stone also has ice cream PIES as well as cakes. They are as good as they sound, having had one or two for my birthday last year.
RH, ok, then let's just get one candle for each of us – no tiki torches on the birthday cakes. ;)
Truth, Cold Stone is the only I.C. place I go and don't get chocolate ice cream. Theirs is amazing. :-9
DJ, how did you get to have more than one birthday pie? Did you have more than one party, you lucky dog? ;)
Well, there was a couple of people who came to hang out at the house and have ice cream pie, so we got two different ones. One had cookie dough with Cake Batter ice cream and a graham cracker crust and the other I think was Sweet Cream with Oreos and fudge...it may or may not have had a chocolate crust...
I just finished lunch and, damn those sound like great desserts. Just a small sliver of each please? ;)
Morning Crew
I see the spatula twins found some of the government archive footage from the early days of the subliminal message anti-syphilis campaign – Operation Flake. The actress was someone we pulled over from East Germany and let me tell you she got results!
WRAP THAT RASCLE !!
Cap that seeder before you breed her.
Holster your gun then shootings more fun.
House your hose then curl her toes.
The Withdrawl method....something my Momma and Daddy should have done years ago.
Wrap your rail then fill her pail .
Dear Women
When you elect to run while wearing a short (above knees) skirt please keep the following tips in mind:
1. knees close together – this will prevent the skirt from sliding up and showing things most people don't want to see
2. under NO circumstances should you grab the end of the skirt and pull it up while running, again most people don't want to see all of you
3. panties are your friend, this is especially true if you disregard the above two tips
I understand that things happen and that running in a skirt sometimes can't be avoided but remember only you can prevent crotch shots.

I am now going to find some brain bleach so I can get that image out of my mind.
Exceptions to this list:
Halle Berry
Sela Ward
Grace Park
Even with women as gorgeous as them I still would rather see undergarments than full frontal. There is a time and a place to find out if the curtains matches the carpet...going to the bank is NOT that time.
I have two black eyes from running.
"Curtains matching the carpet"...
Not heard that in years! LOL!
Why was she running an a bank? Were you having a sale on new bills ... while supplies last?
I'm not sure why she was running in to the bank, I was just going to deposit a birthday check when i heard heels clicking at a fast pace behind me. I turned to see what was going on and wound up seeing a lot more than I bargained for. Once I entered the bank I didn't see her, so maybe an employee running late?
A few of my friends have a thing for red-heads so unfortunately I hear that comment every time we go out for drinks.
M'am, the officers' candidate does not understand JainaJade's question.
Just a reminder folks, hardwood floors can be much easier to maintain and less hassle. We guarantee are floors to be clean and smooth and even fit to eat off of.
Good morning everyone! How are you this fine day?
Me? I totally thought today was Thursday...
Anyway, I registered with that charity event that I posted about yesterday and already got $50! Hopefully I can get more donations by the time Oct. 1 rolls around...
Interesting Wheaties commercial. PLEASE tell me there is no sex tape floating around by that same actress...
I can just imagine that hot momma.......nope I'm not going there..... this morning.
Tattle Tale Teachers..starring SirB and Miss Francis,it's in the vintage movie section.
Knowking SirB, he would have it filed in the educational and self improvement section.
It's the Queen's turn to buy...she can pick up a couple cases while getting Apple fritters,and Aleed's and my own ice cream cake from DQ. :))
The above comment belongs below in the next section.Need more coffee. Sigh.
Ice Cream cake?! Sweet! All chocolate all the time!
(who's 10 years old? HA!)
Holy Christ onna Cross! She looks like Bela Lagosi's mother. *shudders*
I wonder if she's really Sir Bid's type. ;) A gen-ee-ine MILF?
I have always thought one of the hardest lines to ever hear in connection to a woman like this:
"Doctor, your 11:30 pelvic exam is here"...
I'm at the Gyno's office right now.
Pair-azz Hilton doesn't have a gyn – she has an excavation team.
DYNOMITE !!
Whomever goes to the store next, we are going to need hand sanitizer. Lots and lots of hand sanitizer...
... hand?
And speaking of educational supplies, I give you one of my favorite scenes in all of cineme, played out by Me, RichHead, Jerv and Biddle:
LOL! Great scene. I can't count the number of times that I've watched Shawshank Redemption. Great flick!
Good morning! I have some Mocha Muffins with Chocolate Chips for the group so please enjoy.

Good morning all!
Fal lhas officially arrived in Colorado...Actually had to use heat in the car this morning. Pretty nice!

Morning everyone. I had left over Taco Hell for breakfast. Yuck! Hey RicH, my pops sent me some photos of the TX wildfires. Holy crap! TX is on fire!!
Morning Lil' Buddy, talked to my neighbor last nite on the phone and he told me a new fire started up about 5 miles from the hacienda. Luck was on our side and the local firefighters have it under control.
Need.........Coffee. 4 more days till AleeD turns 10.
*pouring coffee in RH's cup*
Nuh-uh! I'll be 12!
5 more days 'til Rich turns 60!
Soooo have you laid out your plans for retirement yet. ;)
Thanks for the coffee,I need it this morning. In WD's years I will be 60,so how old am I really?
Oooo math! Cool.
How can you turn 8-1/2 on your birthday? Either WD is really 54, which'll make you 9 or she's 70, which'll make you 10. ;)
Either way, I'm older than you! Crap.
Morning !! Waiting on my Folgers ...
4 AM is way too early to be at work. When does Starbucks open?
What the heck are you doing at work so early?
