    So pull up a stool, relax and order a drink. The sky's the limit and anything goes (with the drinks that is).:p

    Would you like a Beer, in a glass or in the bottle? How about a fancy drink with a little umbrella? How about a weird concoction or something with a sexy name?

    Your wish is my command. Pull up to the mahogany bar, grab a hand full of beer nuts and tell me all about your day. After all, that's what bartenders are for.

    The lights are dim, the music playing softly in the background and the drinks are FREE!

    Come on down!:D


    Nice place... kinda dim in here isn't it?

    Welcome Stringer. Let me turn on the lights for you. We like it dim, that way you can't see all the mess on the floors.

    Can I get you a drink? Some beer nuts? Lobster, steak? Your wish is my command.

    Thank you, still in the mood for some more white wine... do you have to tip here too? Don't mind if I should...

    Nope, everything is free, it's a dream pub. White wine coming right up, no food?

    How are you Stringer, I'm glad you stopped by.

    Steak Salad and Baked potato please. You got some Bailey's and Coffee? I'll need something to keep me awake through the night to study.

    Do you have anything that has the side effect of a photographic memory? I sure need something.

    Hi J, welcome to the pub. Well, since this is a dream pub and everything is available at the snap of my fingers, I'm sure I can find something for you.

    How would you like your steak done, potato fully loaded? Here's your bailey's and coffee, more bailey's than coffee.;)

    Photographic memory, hmmm, not sure, I'll have to check.

    Morning boys and girls ;) Is everyone drinking already? LOL Did Chicky give you her recipe for a Starby Special to you Alty? I'll have one if you've got one please!

    How's everyone?

    Starby special coming right up.

    I'm still drinking coffee, with sugar and milk, might have a beer tonight though, not sure yet.

    I'm okay, my eye's still bugging me, but what else is new? How are you sweetie?

    Fine fine... got some sleep for once! Must have been the beer from lastnite, lol Well if you read my message to Sneezy you probably saw that I carried on without you! haha.

    Just had an argument with my stubborn ole Dad who is insisting on towing an 18 foot boat and another vehicle when they come back from Florida in a few weeks. Crazy man. He's getting too old for that stuff! My mom is worried about it.

    I've got a strange craving for a pop-tart! Do you have any? :D

    Hi J,

    Don't know of any of that, but let me tell you the Chantix will give you vivid and strange dreams.

    Your wish is my command. A pop-tart for Starby.

    An 18 foot boat, wow, do the like going boating? I'd rather have a trailer than a boat, but that's just me. Hmmmm, are they living on the boat? ;)

    Yeah, I've been on the Chantix for 3 months now. Failed miserably, guess it's cause of the stress of this semester. Once I sit for my boards and get my license, I'll try again.

    But the dreams are very strange and very vivid (colorful). I haven't had any bad dreams though, just strange.

    A pill to help you quit smoking... I am down from 40 to 50 cigarettes a day to 10 to 15 and getting much better...

    My side effects; nausea ( not so bad now), very vivid dreams, some head aches, and gas... but so far very good I think?

    They bring "toys" back with them every yr! They brought home a schooner last yr, and the yr before a humungous motor home (which they hardly use) that I usually stay in when I go to visit them. They have a huge waterfront home, both here and in Fla. So, hence the boats, but at their age they don't need to be towing home toys anymore all the time.

    This boat is suppose to be for my bro. I'm calling him in a bit to give him a little piece of my mind. My parents have to detour from their normal route and go through Atlanta. I've driven through there and it wasn't much fun for me. I can only imagine towing a bunch of stuff behind you. Geez!

    J_9, you can channel my near-photographic memory when you take your exam.

    It's cold and rainy here in Chicago. I need something warm and comforting for lunch. Any ideas?

    I am down from 2 packs a day to less than one pack. I have had no other side effects other than the dreams. I actually enjoy going to sleep now cause it's like going to a different movie every night, and much cheaper. LOL

    But the dreams are very strange and very vivid (colorful). I haven't had any bad dreams though, just strange.

    A dream example; (Apparently saw some of a ghost story before I fell asleep.) I don't remember the whole dream now, it was a few days ago;

    My wife is away seeing her family so I am in bed by myself. I felt the presence of a person on "her" pillow. In my dream I opened my eyes and saw this decaying face about 4 " away from mine with big veined eyeballs with no eye lids staring at me, no lips and only patches of skin and hair. It looked like it was smiling at me with a sinister smile. I tried to tell myself in my dream that "this is a dream." But to no avail, it moved slowly closer and closer to my face and I couldn't move away.

    I am telling you that this is one of the most frightening dreams I have ever had, it was sooo real.

    They aren't as bad lately and I am happy that the Chantix is working for me, I really want to quit now.

    Oh man J, I can't imagine what would happen to me then if I took them. I have vivid dreams normally! A different movie every night. Pretty strange ones sometimes.

    Hmm, sounds interesting. I'd love to quit smoking, I can only seem to do it when I'm pregnant. I quit for both pregnancies, actually quit for 4 years with my son, but then my parents died and I started again. Quit again with my daughter and then started again. Nope, I don't want to have another one just so I can quit smoking. ;)

    J, when's your next exam, how many left, are you almost done?

    That's actually quite good J... that's 20 some less a day.

    And everyone is correct, you will do fine on this test... and then over the top!

    I have one this Monday on here is the breakdown of content on exam 5 : Burns= 15, Neuro 1=15, Shock =16, Dosage calculation =3 EKG Rhythm interpretation =1

    Then I have one next Monday and then the comprehensive final on the 30th.

    My dreams are actually VERY pleasant, bordering on FANTASTIC!! I'm not looking forward to no more Chantix :(

    It was 84 here yesterday, stormy in the morning, but sunny in the afternoon and 52 and cloudy today.

    Wow, you're almost done, that has to feel great! Congrats J, you are almost at the end of your goal. Stringer's right, you will do GREAT!

    Maybe I should try Chantix, I don't know if it's available in Canada, I've never even heard of it. I'm on other meds though so I'd have to check with my Doc, see if it's even okay for me. Worth a try, I so want to quit smoking, doing it on my own isn't working so well.

    It's around 10 degrees celsius today, I don't know how to convert that, sorry. It's a beautiful day, the birds are chirping, the bunnies are hopping, the dogs are, hey, enough poo, I've got tons to pick up as it is. YIKES!

    Friday morning was warm and sunny, but the 30-degree change in the early afternoon was scary. The grass is getting green and I saw a faint green blush on some Oak Brook trees yesterday.

    The coming week should be nicer, according to Tom Skilling.

    Oh no, I just looked outside, in my front yard. I think the little pine tree I planted last year is dead, or dying. Sigh, that's my daughters tree, she even named it, I hope it survived.

    Yeah, strange weather, I don't know about you but I need 75 to 80 degrees and bright sunshine for a while... I feel like I am paying for a debt that I don't remember incurring.

    K... here's the plan, ready?

    If it is dead, go get another just like it, plant it and she will never know... got it? Ssshhh.

    10 C is about 50 F, Alty. It's 15 here! :p hehe! A degree warmer for every hr it would take you to get here!

    Starby, not nice. You better clean up I'm coming over. Get out the lawn chairs and the margaritas you're about to get company. 5 degrees warmer, not fair.

    Stinger, I think I might have to replace the tree, I just hope that I can get it done while she's at school. She's only 5 but she's got a memory like an elephant, she remembers things that happened when she was 1. She's the kind of kid you don't make promises to unless you intend to keep them, because she will remember every word you said. She's also got a photographic memory. I don't know were she got this from, it's not inherited, maybe it skips a generation. Hmmmm.
