    Where is everyone? I'm all alone again. I have my coffee to keep me warm but I miss my buds. HChicky, Scotty, Sneezy, Synnen, Starty and the rest where are you?

    Okay, just noticed, we have allot of S's you all.

    Patiently waiting for my coffee drinking pals. Sigh.

    I'm waiting on my coffee.

    Give me a minute, woman!

    I'm here. @ work. Coffee. Rat brains.

    Alty
    Sorry Synnen, take as long as you want, I'll be here.

    Sneezy - Rat Brains? Need more info, or maybe I don't need more info. I'm not sure.

    Haha, sorry. I work in research. Rats. Brains.

    *sorry to those who are against animal research... but hey, you ever take any sort of medication? Who do you think tried them out first? That's right.*

    Alty
    Rats and brains or rats brains? :p

    I'm not one to judge, I know that animal research is sometimes a necessary evil, and I do take med's for my thyroid etc. so I guess I can't be to judgemental.

    I don't believe in testing cosmetics on animals though, I really don't need lipstick that badly.

    How's the coffee this morning sneezy? Did you go to Starbucks?:)

    Morning, friends! Can I just tell you I love you guys!?

    Packer Perk, Synn, you're a meany... I had to deal with gas station coffee this morning. Course, that was the fifth cup, I got my pot o' gourmet in first, but still...

    ITS FRIDAY!

    ISneezeFunny
    Cosmetics... yeah, that's... an iffy subject.

    I test antidepressants + bipolar medication.

    And drugs that help wean off drugs (cocaine, heroin, etc)

    Starbucks was SO packed this morning (darn you hospital employees) that I had to go to caribou coffee. And you know what, I don't regret a thing.

    Oh, HC... altenweg wants you and me to get together.

    ... ::shrugs::?

    LOL! Yes, I just saw that...

    ::Answering shrug::

    Ever heard that song by Landon Pigg? About the Coffee shop? Not sure of the title, but its an adorable song.

    Oh, Oh, I've been caught.:o

    Sorry guys, I just thought that the two of you would really hit it off. I can't say it enough, you are both such wonderful people, who knows what could happen?

    Enough said, I've made the suggestion, it's out there, now it's up to you two.;)

    I hope you're not mad at me.:(
  • Mar 14, 2008, 08:16 AM
    HistorianChick
    Alty, how could I be mad at you? The bunny avatar makes you mad-proof ;)

    I was singing "matchmaker, matchmaker" the other day (thanks to Synn) and I just got it out of my head!

    Crud...
  • Mar 14, 2008, 08:17 AM
    ISneezeFunny
    I... don't really know the song. (result of not really having a childhood I guess)

    Thanks alty for saying those wonderful things about me... and HC's right... the bunny thing... REALLY can't get mad at you.
  • Mar 14, 2008, 08:19 AM
    Alty
    Oops, I'm filling people's heads with all kinds of stuff this morning.:)

    I'm glad you're not mad, the idea of you and Sneezy has been in my head for a while now, like I said, just a thought.

    I was actually thinking of changing my avatar, maybe I should keep it, it is hard to get mad at the bunny isn't it?:)

    I'm enjoying this - got my coffee and its Friday - what more could I ask for! ;)

    Hey now, Alt---stop messing with MY matchmaker plans, dang it!

    I've got to wander off to the store and get the stuff for dinner tonight (company, lasagna, salad, wine, mmmmm).

    You behave

    I'm searching for my new bunny. I had one picked out at the Edmonton Humane Society, she was an 8 year old in desperate need of a home, sadly she's not there anymore. I don't know if she was adopted or put to sleep:(. I'm now looking at the other older bunnies, yikes, 4 bunnies in my house. Oh well, what's one more when you already have three?

    By the way, my avatars name is Cotton, he's the baby of the family.

    Time to re-fill my cup for the fourth time and then I've got to pick up princess at her school.

    Talk to you all later. Don't gossip about me while I'm gone.;)

    Bunnies. mm...

    I had two hamsters. Then I went to college and came back a month later and my mom told me they ran away.. . the crazy thing is, they took the cage and everything with them!
  • Mar 14, 2008, 08:38 AM
    HistorianChick
    LOL! Mental picture on that one is just too sweet... or, is that scary... not quite sure...

    Poor bunnies!

    Ya'll behave

    LOL! Too funny, Synn. You girls are da bomb ;)
  • Mar 14, 2008, 11:36 AM
    Alty
    Synnen - I'm just giving our girl some options.:)

    Sneezy - Bunnies are better than hamsters, trust me. Would you like me to adopt one for you? I'll pick the sweetest one. They're great pets if you know what to expect from them and know how to handle them. My three are all sweeties, love them to pieces.

    There are tons of bunnies relinquished to the pound every day, people buy them because they're cute and then they grow up and can become a hassle if not properly cared for. It breaks my heart to see so many of them in small cages at the pound not getting the love that they deserve. Restrictions prevent me from having more than two dogs, but with bunnies the skies the limit. I've got room for one more in my home, but I have allot more room in my heart for these wonderful animals.

    There I go again, being all smooshie. Sorry.

    Time for another cup of Java.

    Glad you're back, Alty!

    I've been inhaling the coffee today... SOooooo glad its Friday!
  • Mar 14, 2008, 11:41 AM
    Alty
    Yay Friday, the best day of the week.

    I'm still doing the house cleanup, not done yet, but other than that it's been a pretty great day, so far.

    The cup I'm enjoying right now will be my last of the day, I need to get to bed early so that I can get an early start tomorrow. It's going to be a busy weekend.

    Slept in! 9:30 is laaaate! Long enough for me to know not to get out of bed before screaming these words... "You guys better put away everything you got out this morning I am getting outta bed in ten minutes!!!" LMAO
    The trouble they find... Coffee, yes, hope your Friday is treating you well!

    My weekend will be blissfully nothing. I'm seriously looking forward to it.

    Hi Starty - I know how you feel, my kids are constantly making a mess. You know that if they are playing quietly that they're up to no good. My daughter (5) made herself a jam sandwich yesterday (without telling me), it's really hard to get strawberry jam out of dog fur, especially when it's still attached to the dog. He's not so happy with me right now, poor puppy.

    HChicky - Why don't you take a little trip to Atlanta?;) Okay, seriously I'll stop now.:)

    Another 100 lashes for Alty.:(

    LOL! Wow... Alty, Alty... you're just too sweet, but didn't you read about the exploding chemistry projects, singed eyebrows, and brain matter on the other thread?

    Coffeeshop/singles bar... interesting mix... shall we add some disco music and a dance floor? ;)


    (Love you, Alty)

    AWWWW, NO lashes, you are good... all good
    Have you ever had a kid try and boil an egg in the microwave? I have, and let me tell you the laughter from it almost killed us all!
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:05 PM
    HistorianChick
    Oh no! Boil an egg in the microwave?

    Reminds me of high school... blowing up twinkies and ho-hos (still in the wrapper) in the cafeteria...
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:08 PM
    Alty
    Yes I read about the eyebrows etc, I laughed for 15 solid minutes. My gut hurts.:p

    As for the single's bar/coffeeshop, not a bad idea. Synnen and I can provide the singles and the rest of you can just show up and mingle, oops sorry Starty, you can chaperone.:)

    I'll get the disco ball and the music (no disco music, the ball is enough) Hey Synnen, can you provide the dance floor? Starty you might want to get a taser, just in case things get out of hand.;)

    Eeeek, I just looked out my window. It's SNOWING!! :mad:

    There goes my happy Friday.:(
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:10 PM
    startover22
    I would love to have a taser in my hand! THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW! Lol

    Tasers...

    Set Phasers on Stun...

    Sorry - inner geek :)
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:16 PM
    Alty
    You two make me giggle. Tee Hee.

    I'm willing to set up the singles bar/coffee shop in my basement family room. Do you mind if a few bunnies are present? They're all great dancers.

    Oh, my parents Urn is also down here, I hope that's okay, they loved dancing.

    Hop on a plane and come on down, forget that I said it's snowing, even though it is. YUCK!
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:18 PM
    HistorianChick
    Down?? Up, sweet Alty, up. :)

    I'm considering! ;) I love bunnies.
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:22 PM
    Alty
    Geography was never my strong point. Sorry.:o

    When you say you love bunnies, is it, I love to hug and snuggle bunnies? Or, Mmmm, can you pass the salt please?;)
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:23 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    I went away... for... mmm I don't know... 3 hours? And this is what happened.

    Yay it's Friday!. cept... I work... everyday. So yeah.

    It's raining here. Quite muggy + humid. I would def go to the singles bar... cept my dog would get QUITE mad at me for leaving for such a long time. If I'm not home by 10pm sharp, my dog goes haywire.

    I just loved Canada whenI drove through when we left Alaska...
    HC, I thought about how you didn't have Alaska on yer places you have been list! You should go in the middle of summer and take it all in with your camera of course!
    Alty, I wish I could take that trip, would be something GRAND!
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:27 PM
    HistorianChick
    Yup, look what happened... Alty went back to work on the whole HC/Sneezy thing and I've been influenced to change my sweet coffeeshop into a disco...

    But hey, bring on the disco ball! I love sparkles!

    ALTY - LOL!! No, not pass the salt love... fuzzy, furry love for bunnies.
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:28 PM

    I'm going to go run a smear stain. Be good.

    Oh, and to appease alty

    HC: how YOU doing?
  • Mar 14, 2008, 12:30 PM
    Alty
    Sneezy- Bring your dog, he can play with my two dogs, and the bunnies if he promises to behave. The more the merrier, I've got plenty of room.

    Maybe we should do this in the summer, that gives you all time to plan the trip, and then we can make it a Barbecue. Coffee, burgers and friends. Is there a downside to this?
