WOW!!!!!!
For once, a day with good news posts!
Annie, what a nice thing to read that you had got the job! It made me feel extra good about my day. Of course, we all knew you couldn't go wrong with the collective power of international worldlies all thinking good thoughts.
Michelle, now that we've fixed Annie's situation, your DH will be next. I hope he's prepared for a whirlwind of great job offers and good luck! Meanwhile, enjoy thanksgiving with the MIL. (Maybe I shouldn't say so, but if you wanted to set up all your penguins near me, I might have to kill you... Please tell me they don't have flashing lights and play loud music.
)
Shad, you never did tell us about your sleeping quarters with the drivers... is there something exciting you're not telling us about one or more of the blokes you were bunking with? Celibate, sex-deprived minds want to know.
Mel, about the bursitis, I have one word: take drugs!!!
As for saying no, I'm just glad you didn't say no when I invited myself to visit you! I'll never be able to watch Biggest Loser again without thinking Mel-thoughts! I hope you have a lovely, quiet Thanksgiving tomorrow. Don't eat tooooo much, enjoy the rehabbed AOL, keep warm. And do give my love to the grandson - he was a little stand-offish with me, but I described him to the cats and they'd really, really like to meet him.
Patty, I hope it has been a very, very happy birthday!
Do you get two big dinners - one today with cake, one tomorrow with cranberries and stuffing???
Happy, if your community is still wondering what to do about the lights have them call me and I'll tell them where they can plug them in.
heh heh heh. Or we can sic Michelle and her penguin colony on them... I'm surprised you're planning to grill the turkey. Being as how you're in the south now, I would expect you to deep fry it! Now, before everyone attacks me for being anti-south or for promoting the consumption of fried foods, I've eaten deep-fried turkey. It was absolutely delicious, very moist, and not greasy at all. So there. Just don't set fire to the entire neighbourhood.
Madcat, I need to PM you, but a heads-up - I'll be down your way next week, and hope we can get together for a nice steak frites. (Or, if you're behaving these days, a nice dry salad.
)
Ceejay, travel safely and enjoy your thanksgiving! Thanks for trying to PM Rennie - I hope she just got tired of us and is all is well with her.
Rennie, if you're reading this, at least post a quick 'I'm fine/not fine' - we worry about you.
Greetings to Ruth, Rose, Painter, and whoever I've forgotten.
It's been pretty busy since my return - got called in to work each of the last three days, which will make a tiny dent in the enormous NYC bill... And that's that for now. G'night all!
