The continuation of what was HChicky's Bar and Alty's Pub

Come, sit down, grab a drink, and tell me all your problems...

... and we'll see if I care. :p

Perfect combination... Tissues, Corona, and a sympathetic ear.

You're giving up the Dr. House persona? ;)

(Had to be the first post, Sneezy Dear.)

Never give up the persona... as hinted by the "...see if I care"

I saved you the first post spot ;)

Aww... shucks... thanks sneezy;)

Then I guess I'll take second...

Yay! Stringer made it!

Sad. You didn't make it into my Coffee, Coffee, Coffee OR my Chicky's Café... :(

But at least you're here!

Yay! Stringer made it!

Sad. You didn't make it into my Coffee, Coffee, Coffee OR my Chicky's Cafe... :(

But at least you're here!

Sorry 'bout that, I'll make up for it...

I think I was going through a very busy time then...

But, thank you...

Achoo, love it.

Achoo, love it.

QUICK!! Grab a bunch...

Yay... My Mom is coming to take care of me this weekend. *sigh*.. always nice to have Mom within a few hours drive...

Need the lady's suggestion on this.

I'm a bit of a watch fanatic... I love watches. It's an expensive hobby... but I like it. I'm contemplating purchasing this one... but I'm not sure I like it enough to spend the money on it. Your take?

7864

That's a sexy watch... very nice taste.

Perfect combination... Tissues, Corona, and a sympathetic ear.

I thought hot wings, beer, and football was the Ultimate Trilogy..!

Or was that wine, arranged out-of-the-house childcare, and a lit fireplace?

Gee... just like me to dirty up a nice little members board thread, eh?

LOL! Kp, it would have happened eventually... ;)

Hot Wings, beer, and football, yes that works too... or, Nachos, beer, and hockey... wine, lasagna, candlelight... picnic blanket, sandwiches, sunny day... pizza, pepsi, juke box... lol

Any of the above.

You guys are tooooooo cute! :)

Hey KP, Stringer, HC, Sneezy. I guess we're the only ones here so far. This kleenex box is a bit small, we should have gotten the supersized one. ;)

Give it a bit, we'll have all kinds of sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, so you can rest... wait a minute... that's Nyquil...

Anyway... lol...

Maybe if we took some of the tissues out we'd have more room. Ew, who used a tissue and put it back in the box? :) ;)

Sniffle, I've come to the right place.

LOL... go REST Alty! :)

I will soon, really I will.

Hey HC, do you feel like you're being followed from the pub to the kleenex box? ;)

I know it!! Its like alternate personalities... or dimensions... am I the same Chicky in the Box as I am in the Bar? Hmm...

Lets see,

Flirty Chicky comes out with coffee... so FHC is in the bar

Although... Doc Sneezy just may offer me a cup o' joe to ease my troubles and soothe my mind...

I'll probably be a different Alty in the kleenex box, unless we're allowed to drink beer. Ooooh, what if we are and it spills, then we'd have to sit on wet kleenex. We're going to have to think of something. ;)

I'm out of here! Talk to you guys later!

Well here we are! I'll get the lights since I don't see Sneezy anywhere. Anybody here?

I'm here. Anyone else?

I tried posting one last post in Alty's, when I started there were 3 posts left but you guys beat me to it. Oh well, my first closed thread, I feel weird. ;)

Hey, can we bring a couch in here, I don't want to sit on the kleenex.

M, did you make it?

Where's Lula? And where did CBW and CB go?

Yes we need to decorate this place... Sneezy isn't much of an interior decorator is he? Alty, did you remember to bring the pool boys with you?

Yikes, I didn't have time to grab the pool boys. They're still at the pub. I hope they're not scared. Oh well, we'll just have to hire new ones, if it's okay with Sneezy that is.

I don't know were CBW went, as for CB I think he only stopped by to close the place down. Sigh, it was fun while it lasted. ;)

I think we should check the place out and see what Sneezy has stocked behind the bar?! I'm sure he'll let us run a tab right? :D

There is a bar after all isn't there??

AAhhh... so this is where you all disappeared to , snot as big as Alty's Pub.

LOL!. very good Friend! Go "pick" your corner! ;)

There aren't allot of corners to choose from, this is a small box. M, you might actually have to come out and play this time. ;)

Cheers, I'm having a beer. Oh, I forgot, M is at work, sorry M, I'll have a sip for you okay?

Hello ladies... it's been one crazy weekend.

I'm off to the library to make new friends. Hope you guys have a fantastic Sunday night. I'll be back later :D

New friends? What's wrong with the old ones? :)

Later sweetie, don't worry we'll keep the place clean, M will make sure of that. ;)

Bye Sneeze! Can we do a little interior decorating while your gone? That phychiatrists couch is all that's here! We'll be good, promise, bwaahahaha!

Pink, I see pink, and lace, pretty lace. Oooh, Starby, let's get to it and have some fun. Maybe Sneezy won't notice.

Hehehe, maybe we can give the outside a face lift too?! We can find a pretty box cover. We have to be careful though, Friend is taking notes in his corner again.

Can we hang some kleenex flowers from the ceiling?. kind of like a big kleenex Disco Ball?

Love it, absolutely love it. I say we get one of those doggy kleenex box covers, cheesy yet fun. And flowers, lots of flowers.

Ooooh, Sneezy isn't going to be happy. Maybe we should add a few male touches, like a football or something. M can hold the football while sitting in the corner. Does that work for you? ;)

MMmmm... yeah I'm sure sneezy would want some blokey stuff , pass the football over and I'll hang it up in this corner.

I suppose we could get a sports illustrated calendar or a few posters, and put them up in the guys john. Do you think that will make them happy?

I guess so, at least they might be distracted enough not to notice the pink and the lace and the flowers. ;)

M, here's the football, do with it what you will my dear. We're going to chicky the place up a bit. Sorry boys. ;)

Well I think I'm going to shove off for awhile. I hate to even mutter the words, but I suppose I should break out my boots and the shovel. I feel like I am getting a kind of head/chest cold too. BLAHHH! My head is pounding!

I'll catch you a bit later on! Bu'bye! :)

Bye Starby, good luck with the shovelling, in April. RAH!

Sneezy, I can see that you are online, are you hiding. Don't let the pink and the lace scare you, we've got T & A for you boys. ;)

M, are you hiding in your corner?

Yep unfortunately have to retreat to my corner for a while... I hate when work interferes with fun :-)

Back later all! Sneezy sort these ladies out before this place resembles a ladies club.

Bye M, don't forget the football dear.

I'll leave the mens room for you blokes to decorate.

Unless someone stops me and Starby the rest is going to be girlie. Come and stop me, anyone, come on. ;)

CRAP! I was caught. Must change my status so that you can't see me on.

I'm at the library... "trying" to do some work, yet failing miserably.

My weekend highlights? I went to a bar, met some nice people, met this kid whose parents are very well off... he owns a high rise condo in downtown atl with the view of the atl skyline.. . the price of the condo rivaled the price of my parents' house. Yikes.

I'll probably be here for the next few hours. Keep it clean!

Clean is my middle name, no worries. Oops, I fibbed, did you notice?

Sneezy, you can run but you can't hide, I know all and see all, after all I have kids. ;)

I've got to go soon, make supper, bathe rug rats, read stories, drink beer, etc. etc. ;)

I'll be here for a few more minutes though, so dish out some details of your weekend, mine was not at all thrilling, too much snow!

Details... details... what would you like to know?

Everything. I'm living vicariously through you my dear, my youth is over. ;)

Well, OK then. Let me make this lively.

Thursday night, I went out on a date with hot but independent girl (you can read about it on my "I am doing NC" thread). Things went well, but still unsure.

Friday night, I met up with a buddy of mine, we just hung out at his place, catching up on the week, talking about the market (... apparently we're 40), and throwing back a few beers. Around 2am, we decide to go out to a diner to grab some food... we end up going to a restaurant in a hotel on a whim. Two guys... 2am... restaurant in a hotel. Yeah... it was weird. Regardless, I consider this kid to be one of my best friends, so we had a great time.

Saturday, I went home and had lunch with my parents (I do this once a week), then I dropped my brother off at a birthday party, came home, took a small nap, and then went over to that same guy's apartment, where we called a few people over, and again, just hung out. We head over to a neighborhood bar, where he sets me up with this girl... you can read about it here, post #1473

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/lounge/altys-pub-come-one-come-all-199200-148.html

Then we head over to another guy's apartment... the high rise condo. We get back around 330am, and I go to sleep (sorta). Woke up this morn, did NOTHING. Sat around... did a little bit of work... and sat around some more.

... that's it for me. Yep.

Wow, you sure do get allot done in a short amount of time. Sounds like you had fun.

Here's my weekend.
- Sleep
- cook
- clean
- laundry
- gauge out eye (almost)
- heat packs on eye
- drops in eye
- considering going to the hospital because of the eye, too much snow outside, hospital out of the question.
- eye doctor calls to confirm appointment and says that I should be okay unless I think I'm not (I'm not a doctor, how am I supposed to know if I'm okay or not, that's her job!),
- more cooking
- more cleaning
- playing with the kids
- relaxing bath in the jacuzzi tub
- and the best thing, chatting on AMHD and getting myself into trouble.

Phew, I guess I was busy too. ;)

oo... bath in jacuzzi tub... sounds really good.

I'm looking forward to the next few weeks... may 2nd, it'll all be over. =D

Yay May 2.

I'm looking forward to Mother's Day, I hope they actually remember this year. ;)

I'm going to go cook some dinner now. Spaghetti, hubbies favorite. I'll talk to you later Sneezy sweetie. Take care, work hard and be good, I'm watching. ;)

You got it aunty.

Have fun.

I will nephew, I will. ;)

I see I am late with the tISSUE!

Haha... I think we should take the bigger tissue box! More room to move in there! ;)

But the tissue coming out of the nose is a classic, love it.

I started decorating Starby, do you like the pink flowers, pink lace wallpaper and the pink kleenex?

True true... lol

I just got an update about my cousin and his wife. My cousin is at home now, but he's not allowed to bring his children home, and he is kind of on an outpatient basis. His wife is still on life support, and they figure if she does come out of this, it will take months or maybe even yrs for her to recover. So sad! The Dr.'s still can't pinpoint the virus from what I've heard.

My parents have made it to Fargo, but apparently this storm has hit hard in Great Falls... where they are crossing the border at Sweet Grass, so they will probably have to hole up somewhere in Great Falls for a few days. At least I hope they have the sense to do that!

I'm so sorry to hear about your family, I hope that everything works out okay. How old are their kids? Where are they staying until this over? They are in my prayers Starby, I hope that they get better.

Their kids are 3 and 5 I believe. They are staying with their grandparents. I don't understand why the Dr.'s can't find out what is causing this.

Thank you for your prayers!

It doesn't make sense, usually the doctors have some idea, especially because they've been there for some time now. This is scary, the fact that she's on life support means it's obviously taking over her entire body, I don't know why it's so hard to diagnose. I hope they find out soon and that she gets the proper treatment. How is her husband doing now that he's home? I find that strange too, how do they know he isn't contagious if they don't know what he has? I would think that keeping him in the hospital would be a better idea. I'll be praying for them, like I said. Keep us posted Starby and stay strong, we're here if you need us okay?

I'll say a prayer for them also Starby... I wish them well.
Stringer

Thanks Stringer, and Alty... sounds like they need all they can get! :(

Exactly Alty, I don't know why they have let him go home if they don't know what this virus is. Doesn't make much sense to me. But I'm just getting bits and pieces of info right now. So maybe there is a little more to it... who knows eh?

Where do they live? Are they in Canada also?

In a little town in Sask. (Leader) They are at the University of Saskatoon Hosp.

Well then they are in good hands. I'm sure that it's just that you aren't being told the whole story. Just keep your chin up and hope for the best sweetie.

Would you like a beer? I'm having one, I hate drinking alone. ;)

Serve it up girl! ;) Nothing else to do... can't go outside, lol. Ohhhh, and hey, just how much snow do you have? I'm just talking to my Aunt who is in Edm, and she says they only have about 6". If that's all you have too, I'm giving you a big noogie!

HA, I stuck my last couple beer in the freezer because they were a bit warm, and then forgot about them for awhile... uhmmm, they aren't warm anymore, lol

Are you having a beersicle?

We got around 8 inches or even more and it's still snowing. I'll need a horse drawn sled to get the kids to school tomorrow. I hate Snow!

Hey, where's Sneezy, I can see he's online, is he avoiding the kleenex box?

Sorry, running around answering other questions.

I really got to get that USER ONLINE thing off.

I've done barely any work tonight, but it's OK as I can afford it... I got plenty of time tomorrow.

How's everyone doing?

Starby: I have a feeling that your cousin is OK enough to go home... although that IS weird that he's allowed back home but not allowed to be with his kids.

I found that strange too. I know that when my dad had shingles he wasn't allowed to come near me because I was 8 months pregnant, but that was for the babies sake, not mine. I doubt it's something as simple as shingles, the doctors would have diagnosed that very quickly, but I'm curious to know what it actually is. Curiosity killed the cat. MEOW!

We have got at least a foot and a half so far, and it's still coming down like crazy! This is more snow than we had all winter long! I heard from a friend of mine that works in emerg at the hosp. that the waiting rm is full of people that are having chest pains from trying to shovel their walks because it is so wet and heavy. My parents friend died a few yrs ago while out shoveling snow. Just dropped dead right there on the sidewalk.

Yes, beersickle it is, lol... everything else is frozen... why not?

Maybe Sneezy doesn't like our decorating and is scared to come in! LOL

::looks around::

I think you guys did a great job!

... but what do I know about decorating? Currently, my walls have...

1. scheduled calendar
2. 6 framed art work all done by my friends... beautiful pieces
3. gumball dispensing frame.
4. bulletin board with cards/messages/small things attached to it
5. quote board
6.. . as geeky as this sounds, jeopardy style medical facts.

Alty, starby: want to help the teens of the world?

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/teens/he-wants-me-change-his-mind-207956.html

I'll be back in a bit you guys... just talking to my Aunt trying to find out more info

What, no pink Sneezy, everyone needs something pink. Do you have any pepto Bismal? ;)

Well, people with chest pains from shovelling snow, that's the straw that broke the camels back, I am definitely not shovelling, I'll wait until it melts all on its own, yup, that's what I'm going to do, so there snow, stick that in your pipe and smoke it, HUH! Wow, that felt good, Starby you should try it. ;)

Shoveling... snow?

... sorry, I've never done it.

You've never shovelled snow? I am officially inviting you to spend next Christmas with my family and me. I can promise you this; snow, a tree, lights, kids, presents, turkey, stuffing and shovelling, plenty of it, all for you. ;)

I did my best with the teen, I was dying to tell her that her post was extremely hard on the peepers, what's with the rainbow colors? Yikes, kids and their creativity. ;)

Haha, yeah... whenever I see those, I automatically assume... that she's around 13 - 15.

I've never shoveled snow in my life. I've lived in New Jersey, Florida, and atlanta... and when I was in New Jersey, we lived in an apartment complex, so no need to shovel there.

Ooh christmas in canada?. too cold?

It depends, sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's okay. But I seem to remember you saying that 50F was to cold, so you probably wouldn't survive a winter in Canada. It can get really cold, I'm talking freezing snot cold, losing feeling in limbs cold, but you can wear long underwear and we have a fireplace. ;)

Very true.

It's 60F here right now... and I see to be drinking tea and turning my heating blanket on.

I haven't caught up with the conversation yet... but Sneezy, stop being a wimp, HAHAHAHAHA! Electric Blanket? Puleeeaaassseee! Hehe!

You big baby, it's -11 celsius right now, wait I'll do the math, okay that can't be right, apparently -11C is 12.2F, is that right? I went to an online converter and that's what it said, sad.

No, OK it's -8 here, which is 18F... -10C with wind chill. I can't believe you've never shoveled snow Sneezy!

Yep. That would be correct. That would be BELOW freezing.

... not a big fan of anything near freezing.

Freezing Sneezing, hee, hee. Sorry, I've had two beers, it's loopy Alty time. Watch out guys, I'm feeling funny, but not in a good way, or maybe, I don't know. Yikes, I feel like a kid again, should I go roll in the snow? ;)

I lied earlier... well didn't really lie... I was going to go out and clean off my van, and attempt the walks... but I looked out several times and noticed nobody else's were done either... they will just have to be done again anyway the way it's coming down... so I put my shovel down and cracked a beer, lol

Snow angels!!

Well, it's 1:22am.. and I feel like I've done enough damage here on this forum for the night.

... I'm thinking I should go to bed early tonight. This weekend was a blur as far as sleep goes...

g'nite ladies! I'll be back tomorrow afternoon!

Want to go out and make snow angels Alty?. Sneezy? You game?

Geez, the FREEZING is also affecting my puter too... I keep missing things! - 8 Sneezy?. that's almost shorts weather! Well maybe not quite! But it was only 3 days ago when it was plus 18... upper 70's and we were sitting around the firepit!

G'nite Sneezy!

Are you still here Alty, or did you start Snow Angels without me??

Good night Sneezy dear, sleep tight. Lullabye and good night oh my sweet little Sneezy, go to sleep, go to sleep, close your eyes and go to sleep. You have to picture it with accordion music, really. :)

Okay Starby, snow angels it is. On your mark, get set, GO!

Bbbbrrrr... ::shaking snow off:: Ok, maybe it's too chilly out there!

Nik wants to build a snowboy now! Crazy dog, lol She's looking for her tennis balls... fat chance of finding those!

Anyway, I didn't find out much more info on my cousin really. I sent him a Facebook post, so maybe I'll get a reply and find out more from the horses mouth... so to speak. I don't want to bog him down with too many questions though. He has probably got more important things to think about right now.

Oh, that snowball just barely missed your head Alty... watch out... the next one is on it's way... it's a long throw you know, lol

Hee, hee, you actually fell for it and made a snow angel, no way in h@ll I'm going out there, you couldn't pay me. ;)

Ahh, that snowball hit my keyboard, Starby be careful! :)

Well I'm not quite that blonde or drunk (yet, lol) , but all I did was go out and watch Niki HOP through the snow for about a min. I only do snow angels when it's been a really good night and frostbite doesn't come to mind! LOL

I would've probably just sank in the snow anyway! Hehe

Me too.

It's fun to watch the dogs play in the snow, isn't it? My older dog Indy peed on the deck today, there was no way he was going to venture in to the yard, not after he saw what happened to Jasper. Jasper came back white, he's a black dog. ;)

I have to go to bed Starby, I'm exhausted and the kids have school tomorrow so I get up at 6:30am, YAWN! I'll talk to you tomorrow sweetie. Take care and get some sleep. Goodnight Niki, take mommy to bed, she needs to go sleepy, okay? Good girl. :)

Niki says woof woof, OK Auntie Alty! Yes, get to bed... maybe the kids will have a snow day! You can only hope right?. or maybe not, lol

Sweet dreams, sleep well! G'nite hun!

These threads... they grow up so fast... *sniff sniff*

It seems like just a few days ago we were in HC's café.

Morning all. Well, the kids got their wish. The bus driver called to say that the buses aren't running. It's -18 C which is -0 F, so it's cold, but not cold enough for the buses not to be running, I think it's because of the snow. The kids are thrilled!

How is everyone else doing?

Morning alty :)

It's about 60 here, heh. I went out on my skates in SHORTS yesterday. Just thought I'd rub it in a little, lol.

You should go make a snow angel!

Morning Resty,

Snow angel? No way, you couldn't pay me to step outside right now. The sad thing is that the weather was gorgeous just last weekend. My kids were outside in shirts and pants, runners and no jackets, they were riding their bikes. This is such miserable weather. It's APRIL! ;)

Lol, I know how you feel. We were getting up to about 50 one day a week, and six inches of snow that night. It finally started getting better about 3 weeks ago.

The bad thing was that there wasn't enough snow for my skis, and there was too much snow for my skates. What's a guy to do?

I can send you some if you want to ski, I've got plenty. ;)

It's windy too, this weather is really bad, I think my tulips are dead, they won't be able to hold on in this weather. Sigh, spring better get here and stay here, I've had enough of this crud.

Okay, enough complaining. How do you like the kleenex box? Starby and I decorated, do you like the pink everything? :)

Hmm... it looks all right. Pink isn't really my color, but I like the blue :)

Blue? Where's the blue? Who snuck in blue? Arrrrr! ;)

It's in the boys bathroom! I wouldn't expect you to go looking for it :)

I'm going to take a peek. If anyone's in there I'm warning you now, I'm coming in.

Oooh, not bad, it's a nice blue, it does need a women's touch though. How about a pretty flower right by the mirror? ;)

Hmmm... I guess if you really want to. Just make sure the 'Stall of fame' list stays intact :)

Hi Alty,
Just popping in to see what the kleenex was for ;)..

Sending some sunny weather your way.It is way too hot where I am,could do with some snow :)

Hee, hee, that's great! :)

So what are you up to today Resty? I'm having a "stuck in the house so I might as well clean day." :(

Hi Alty,
Just popping in to see what the kleenex was for ;)..

Sending some sunny weather your way.It is way too hot where I am,could do with some snow :)


Just say the word and I'll ship some to you, all the snow you want, I'll even pay for the shipping. ;)

The kleenex is for my tears today, because of the snow. ;)

Thanks for the offer,but they will melt before it gets here... too close to the equator lol.

I could do with some kleenex,to wipe sweat.. it is hot here.Hopefully some rain is on the way to cool things down.

FB, rub it in. It's coooooold here, very cold. I'm looking outside right now and all I can see is snow flying, how sad.

Can I come over to your place, I'll be good, I'll cook, I'll clean, I'll sweat, I want to sweat right now, it's better than freezing. ;)

I'm hanging out at work, as usual. Replacing a hard drive, waiting for everything to copy off the old one. Fixing some DNS issues for a couple servers. You know, the usual, lol.

Hi Chris,
Enjoying your day I see:)

Morning All! Looks like we almost had a taker for our snow! This is riduculous isn't it?

Hi Star,
I would love to see some snow.. someday,never seen the real thing.. ever!

Bye people,
I am off for now.See you sometime.

You've got -18 Alty? Yuk! Only -7 here. I told you your kiddies were going to have a snow day, lol

Yup, and they are driving me crazy. Mommy can we go outside? No, I'd never see you again. ;)

How are you this morning Starby?

Oh bye JB, take care, don't get a sunburn. Sigh. ;)

Morning FB!. and Retsy too :) Wow, you've never seen snow? Boy do I want to trade places with you! Snow is nice to have at C'mas time though, but after that it can all go away!

Morning all...

RAH!!

Off to a meeting... can I have a boatload of kleenexes PLEASE?!

Talk to you all a bit later...

I'm still all stuffed up Alty, the sinus headache isn't as bad this morn. How's lefty today?

Morning HC and starby

Ugh, meeting? I hate those... lol
IT guys tend to be introverts. The one time I actually fit the stereotype...

Morning Chicky... hurry back from your meeting! Here's a handful of tissues for you!

Hi HC, bye HC. Sigh.

I agree Starby, I love snow at Christmas. If it fell on December 23 and left on December 27 then I'd be fine. It's not only the snow though, it's the cold that comes with it. YUCK.

Okay, enough about snow. Let's talk about something fun. Anyone got anything fun?

Resty, I'm throwing a snowball your way, heads up!

Hi HC, bye HC. Sigh.

I agree Starby, I love snow at Christmas. If it fell on December 23 and left on December 27 then I'd be fine. It's not only the snow though, it's the cold that comes with it. YUCK.

Okay, enough about snow. Let's talk about something fun. Anyone got anything fun?
I get to see a high school production of The Tempest this weekend. That's kind of fun. And for a high school theatre group, they're not too bad at all.

*ducks*

It may look like I ducked 2 minutes after that snowball was thrown, but I'm in southwest Michigan. That's at least 2 minutes from Canada no matter how you look at it. :)

http://bradzockoll.tripod.com/youthworker/id3.html
Indoor games... hope you find something good.

Ta for now

Hee, hee.

I've got to go for a while guys. Hold down the fort, I'll be back later.

Alty out.

Thanks for the games FB! Might come in handy while we're all stuck inside! :)

B'bye for now, have a good one!

Well I guess it's just you and me Retsy, although I have to run off too soon. I know Niki needs to go outside, and she is refusing this morn... so I guess momma has to put on her boots and go out there for a bit. YUK... BRRRRRR!!

Everyone is leaving me! Lol

I guess maybe ill just actually go back to work. At least for a little while.

Oh work, such a dirty word! Lol I won't be outside for long, I can tell you that for sure ;)

I'll be back soon. We don't want Chicky coming back to an empty room now!

Catch you in awhile!

Y'all REALLY need to tell me something that will make me happy.:mad:

Bubbles...

Forget the bubbles, someone bring me a bourbon. :cool:

I'll do a couple shots of Parrot Bay with you, HC! It's the yummiest rum EVER. Especially the pineapple or mango flavored.

Mmm... alriiiiight Resty! Lets! :)

Awesome, lol.

So I take it your meeting didn't go as well as you hoped it would?

Oh, it was a normal meeting with the bigwigs... makes me feel like the little worker droid...

But I'll pull out my electric shock thing one of these days... :D

Its just a combo of leftover junk from my sun poisioning last week, the shot of steriod in my cute little sitter, and a weekend of pseudo-relaxing...

But Its Monday and I have tutoring tonight! Woo-hoo! :D

Well, as long as you're happy about it, lol. I could use some tutoring... I'm trying to learn Dutch.

I have two ESL students from Japan. My two years spent teaching in China have come in handy! I miss being in front of a class and the tutoring helps.

EDIT: LOL! I'm so frustrated today, I misused the TO, TWO, TOO Rah...

Oh HC, we all do it, don't worry. ;)

How are you feeling today? Is your sunburn any better? If you need to cool off then come on over, it's really cold with lots of snow.

That's my front yard as of five minutes ago, it's getting worse every minute. Does that make anyone feel better? ;)

Ooo... makes me want to come and build a snow fort!! I adore snow. Growing up in MI and Upstate (Buffalo/Syracuse) NY I learned to love it.

Meh... physically, if its not one thing, its another. I've learned to just grin and bear it :)

How's lefty?

Oops, the bottom picture was yesterday, the top one is today. Sorry, I don't know why both attached. :(

Lefty is still angry. My appointment with the specialist is on Thursday, but if this weather keeps up I might not be able to make it.

That stinks. Stinky bunny butts. :(

(Saying "stinky bunny butts" seems to work when I'm REALLY frustrated... really, REALLY frustrated, that is... lol... )

Come on over and experience the real stinky bunny butts, it's fun to say, not fun to smell. ;)

I'd hate to be that guy... but this is from my balcony:

Sneezy, you have grass, and leaves, and sun, that's so not fair. I am sending a snow ball your way. DUCK! :)

Is that your thumb to the right in the top pic Alty?

If you would like possibly I could capture some of this 78 degrees in a milk bottle and... ok, OK... I know-go away Stringer.

Ooo... pretty.

This is the only pic I have here of outside my apt... lol... it was during the last snow.

Is that your thumb to the right in the top pic Alty?

If you would like possibly I could capture some of this 78 degrees in a milk bottle and.......ok, ok...I know-go away Stringer.

Stringer, you're funny. Nope not my thumb, that's my plastic mailbox, yup frozen plastic mailbox.

Mornin' Stringer! :)

HC, that's cute, snow, hee, hee, do you get any more than that? ;)

I'm jealous, I want green grass, or a sprinkling of snow. If I step of my step right now I'll be buried. Sad, really sad. :( :eek: :) :cool:

Nope, not in Nashville!

I love my apt though... its my own little garden apartment. :)

It's gorgeous. I have a little garden by my downstairs window, I'll take pictures when the snow is gone, right now all you'd see is snow, lots and lots of snow.

Let's talk about something else, I'm getting depressed. ;)

Morning guys...

I somehow feel an obligation to try and cheer you all up. Maybe it's just the "fix it" thing that some guys have. Anyway, we are all alive, gas prices have to top out soon, the weather can only get better, the hounds came home last night (albeit dragging something that stinks), and I've got a few bucks left in my side pocket...

"Anything good happening......", as my dear old mom used to say?

Hmm... I have tutoring tonight! That's a good thing... umm... I have VERY strong coffee brewing... I have on my cute red stilettos...

:)

Let's see, good things. The kids are at home because the buses aren't running so I get to spend extra time with them. My hubby is working nights so he's home right now, and if he can't get out of the driveway then he'll take the day off. The kids and I are going to watch a movie, eat popcorn and turn on the gas fireplace tonight. That's about it. But, the weather is supposed to warm up on Wednesday, and I'm holding them to that promise. :)

Awwww huh! You friends make me proud...

Shucks Stringer, that's sweet.

Sir Stringer has once again protected the ladies of the kingdom from dire mental straights and unfortunate attitudes of self-pity... :) We thank thee, kind sir.

Shucks Stringer, that's sweet.

Thank you,

I can't help the "I can try to fix it" thing... I am who I am... (come on now, I'm not seeing smiles, come on... ):)

Hail Stringer. Three cheers! :)

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Thank ya,

I can't help the "I can try to fix it" thing....I am who I am.........(come on now, I'm not seeing smiles, come on........):)

Here's a big smile just for you dear Stringer. :) :) :) :) :)

I hate to see damsels with frowns or tears... they are so much more pretty with sparkling eyes and big smiles.

Sparkling eyes, big smiles, red stilettos. Check. :D

Hee, hee, I feel better! :)

Okay, got to go and spend some time with my mini people, it's time to have some fun, after all that's what snow days are all about, right?

I'll talk to you all later, take care and watch out, you never know when I'll throw a snowball your way. Muwahahahaha. ;)

Sparkling eyes, big smiles, red stilettos. Check. :D

Well... that's not a bad thing... :D

Nope, got to love the power of the red stiletto :)

I just want to say that I put on some strappy black heels today, and I look GREAT!

I can't keep up with you anymore, though. So... when I pop in, I'll read the last 5-10 posts and try to follow the conversation from there :)

SYNN!! What's up, girl?

Any woman that would put on heels has my total admiration and absolute attention.

Ello again all!

Stringer... I'm smiling because I got brochures in the mail this morn for my trip to England to go on a cruise (C'mas gift) It all looks so perty! :D :D :D

Aww shucks, Stringer :)

Heels are daily fare for me. Flats? What's that!

Aww shucks, Stringer :) Dazzled ya huh?

Heels are daily fare for me. Flats? What's that!?

Once, twice, three times a......

Heh.

I wear flats because I fall on my face wearing heels with all the running around I do.

When I found myself taking off my shoes so I could run at least twice a day, I just switched to flats.

I just need clunky heels to come back into fashion.

:D Ok, now I'm having a good day :D

Flattery. Makes every girl feel better!

Ello again all!!

Stringer...I'm smiling because I got brochures in the mail this morn for my trip to England to go on a cruise (C'mas gift) It all looks so perty!! :D :D :D

Wow! NOW that is what I call a Christmas present lady... I have to talk with Marta... I am jealous (but happy for you.):D

Wow! NOW that is what I call a Christmas present lady......I have to talk with Marta.........I am jealous (but happy for you.):D

I was blown away by it! And actually given to me from 2 people I have never actually met in person, but I feel like I've known them all of my life. They are wonderful people.

I won't get into it much on here. But my ex was very abusive to me, and we actually just got done with the court battle almost 1 month ago. My ex sis-in-law and her husband felt so bad with the way things went with my ex, that they surprised me with a phone call at C'mas time, and said they had made arrangements for me to have a vacation with them this coming Aug. and they wouldn't take no for an answer!

There sure are some wonderful, caring people out there aren't there! :D

I'm happy for you Starby! Sounds like you'll have a beautiful time.

I miss traveling. When I was living in China, I'd just "go" for the weekend. Fly to Beijing, check myself into the Marriot, and shop for two straight days. It was awesome.

Oh yes... SHOPPING!! We are also going to go to France, and Holland after the cruise. I am going to treat them to that. I have been to almost every state in the US, and have been to Mexico... but have never been anywhere in Europe. The whole trip sounds just surreal to me.

all the shoe talk reminds me of a discussion I had with my wife a few weeks ago. She likes to ask my opinion about clothes and outfits, as it seems I have an eye for what works. I may not buy it off the rack, but she can put something together and I can tell her what's good and what's not, and she trusts my eye.

she's prone to heeled boots and shoes, which I love, but of couse has a range of shoes, heels or not.

so she said after coming home one night, and after I had complimented her on her great outfit, "so you liked those shoes with that outfit"... to which I paused, blushed a little, and said smiling "im sorry honey, i didnt make it down to your shoes... kind of got lost in the middle"... busted.

oh well. She wasn't so surprised. She's used to my seeing her in strappy sandals, painted toes, and a breezy outfit and my telling her she needs to take that outfit off, which prompts "whats wrong with it", which leads to the now anticipated "nothing. It's a great outfit. I just REALLY want to strip those clothes off you right now." =) thank goodness she seems to like me well enough.

ungh. She's travelling a bunch right now and I'm obviously missing the girl. I should be outright punchy, cranky, and looking for fights by the end of next week. Apologies to all in advance.

nuff threadjacking... tho' its really not threadjacking if the OP said to drink and complain.

LMAO!. An interesting read there! Your wife is lucky to have you to come home to. What a compliment to her! Have you got a brother? lol.

I guess Sneezy isn't here. Can I get you a cocktail so you don't go off too cranky? Hehe!

I'll take one! Large sweet tea, please! :)

Just tea Chicky? I see you've calmed down from your meeting. No more bourbon?

I've used a complete bottle of lovely bubbles... pretty bubbles... and drank a double strong pot of coffee...

My desk is sticky...

Sweet tea is good! Or lemonade. Ooo... raspberry lemonade :)

Boy, subjects change quickly... and who raise the thermostat?

Boy, subjects change quickly.........and who raise the thermostat?

I believe that was kp! Lol

Rasp Tea coming up Chicky!. anything for you Stringer?

The sun is peaking out here you guys!. there's hope yet! MELT SNOW MELT! :)

I believe that was kp!! lol

Rasp Tea coming up Chicky!...anything for you Stringer?

I am in the mood for something sweet; maybe a Strawberry Daiquiri, on the sweet side and slushy please.

Ahhhh, I think I'll join you in one of those! Sounds yummy! I can pretend I'm laying on a nice warm breezy beach in the South Pacific? Yeah, that sounds nice!

Coming up Stringer!

Ooo... I'll have one of those... I'm a sucker for suggestion! :)

(With a pink umbrella, please!)

Ahhhh, I think I'll join you in one of those!! Sounds yummy! I can pretend I'm laying on a nice warm breezy beach in the South Pacific? Yeah, that sounds nice!

What'chu talkin' bout... umm... heLLo!! I'm Sneezy's hula girl, thank you very much... ;)


Missed that... sorry, "no wrath like that of a woman scorned?" I, I, I, I, didn't realize, I am so sorry... really HC.

Sneazy? Are you aware of this "fact?":D

Really? And just where do you expect these poor, not too bright, but sculptured boys to sit?

Do you REALLY need to ask that question? :rolleyes: Come here Carlos... sit in the sand and have a strawberry! Can someone hand me a kleenex to wipe my forehead?!

Who would have thot a kleenex box could be so much fun, lol

LOL!! Awww Stringer... you're so sweet. Not scorned... just re-affirming my hula-girl-ness :)

LOL!!! Awww Stringer... you're so sweet. Not scorned... just re-affirming my hula-girl-ness :)

Thank you I am glad you explained this to me... I am a sensitive soul you know he he. :p

What happened to KP? Did I scare him away when I asked if he had a brother?? Or was he just doing a drive by (thread by?) HAHA!

Do you REALLY need to ask that question??:rolleyes: Come here Carlos...sit in the sand and have a strawberry!! Can someone hand me a kleenex to wipe my forehead?!!

Again LMAO! Need a Kleenex huh, so it must be what 95 degrees. And Starby, did you know he can see where you are looking through those sun glasses??????

He knew when he picked out that Cabana boy suit he's wearing there! We can talk about him now because he just went to catch a wave! I'm just going to soak up the rays!. nother drink you? I see one of the Hula girlz just brought some tequila sunrises too!

Alty is going to be so jealous when she gets back! :cool:

Well I'm going to go ride a wave with Carlos for awhile... otherwise known as doing laundry... it was fun while it lasted! ;) The snow doesn't seem quite as bad now though! haha!
Catch you on the flip side! :D

All right - talk to you tomorrow, Starby! :)

Have fun on that "wave"... :D

C'ya Chicky, String Man... all you... out for now... buh'bye! ;)

C'ya Chicky, String Man...all ya'll...out for now...buh'bye!! ;)

See you all later... me too.

You guys'll enjoy this...

A girl from my school just e-mailed me and this is the content:

My friends tell me that you're pretty good with this medical stuff... and I know you're not a doctor, but I really don't feel like this is a serious issue... it's just that no one knows what to do with it. I scraped my knee last week playing soccer, and I wiped it with alcohol wipes and put some cream on it and put a bandage on it... and today, when I tried to change the bandage, it won't come off... it's as if the skin healed with the bandage, and now it's stuck. HELP!!

... to put that cherry on top... she attached 2 pictures of her scrape.

... that kind of made my day.

Awwww, Dr. Sneezy! I hope you helped the poor girl out with her boo boo! Maybe you should invite her over for a personal consultation!

Attach a copy of your invoice when you reply with the answer.

I missed all the fun again. Not fair. :(

Me too :-)

Aw, M, you and I are in the same boat. Grab a paddle, we'll go find our own fun, okay? :)

Boat... sounds like fun , no paddles though too much like hard work , where are we going sailing to?

Hawaii? I could do Hawaii right now, how about you? I'll buy you a hawaiian beer. :)

Woo hoo... I love Hawaii , been there twice. I'll have a Steinlager please , I'm not too keen on the American beers.

Aloha :-)

When I'm in a boat, without a paddle...

I just assume I'm up sh!t creek.

LMAO synn :)

I'm always up Sh!t creek Synn. ;)

Hawaii it is. Hubby and I went there on our honeymoon, it was wonderful. Love Hawaii! :)

Did somebody say Hawaii?

You betcha, Hawaii. I want to sun bathe on the beach, feed fish, wear grass skirts, hula, got to a luau and everything else. I'm done with snow, I want sandy beaches. Hawaii, oh how I miss you. ;)

Wow, I can not believe how one part of the country is getting walloped with snow, and well. You know us here are getting 25 degree weather and out with our short sleeves and shorts. I am not bragging or anything. Lol

Joe, I'm sending a snow ball your way! ;)

It's so bad that the school buses weren't running today, I got a call earlier that they won't be running tomorrow either. I'd drive the kids to school but I can't make it out of my cul-de-sac so they're stuck here, as am I.

HAWAII!! :)

Forget Hawaii, lol. Just come out to the east side. Lol You can do it..

Have you guys ever got snow in August or July? Well I am sure the kids are happy to stay at home. Oh I miss snow days, there is no such thing for me and my work. );

Hee, hee, I might just drop by, but with my luck you'd get this weather when I arrive and it would be gorgeous here, that's the way it goes, isn't it?

We've had snow in August and July, but it's been a while. This snow storm is just crazy. I thought it would snow a little, get warm, melt and that would be it. Instead, it's still snowing, it's really cold(-17C) and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon. I want Spring, I really do. Sigh, Hawaii I coming soon. ;)

Alty your back , you disappeared :(

Joe glad to see your coming to Hawaii with us , I love Hawaii too , not as much as Sydney though :D

My daughters name is Sydney, yup, I have a little part of Australia living with me. :)

I was gone and so was AMHD for a while, it was sad, I almost cried. ;)

Nice name :-)

Addicted right? Weren't you going to start a thread about that.

I got carried away answering questions so I didn't start one. I actually remember there being a similar thread already, don't want to be a copycat, I like being an original. ;)

Got to love originality.

Well I need to log off for a while Alty , have a meeting in 10 minutes so better get prepared.

Talk later

Bye for now M, be good. :)

Bye for now you guys.

What happened to KP? Did I scare him away when I asked if he had a brother??? Or was he just doing a drive by (thread by?) HAHA!

Oh I don't scare off that easy. I just like to come by and stir the pot now and then. Poke people with sticks. Talk about panties. Toss around some lies. Then leave... or was it talk about lies and toss around some panties? I forget sometimes.

Tired. Gym kicked my arse today. But the hammock was out for the first evening of the spring, so all is well. Except for my arse. k. tired and babbling.

Night.

KP - If you lay in the hammock at my house you'd fall in a pile of snow, that is if you didn't freeze to death first. Brrrrrr.

Toss around panties huh, yours or your wife's? ;)

Sneezy, I know you are online, are you hiding again?
