Well, I survived Bday week. :hat: Didn't get into any trouble, but, probably started some. :o Thank heavens I don't have to go to work. :^: But, I think I'll go harass a couple of my friends who do. :s:

So, fair warning, I WILL be here for the final countdown. :p

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.....

:carrot: IT'S OVER! put a fork in it...:carrot:

Have a great time. But I dont think joints and Yorkville and the same as they use to be. Yorkville is so full of Harry Rosen, and Ashley and what every other snooty retails labels are out now. I love going to Queen St W. Its really come along way. I lived there in the 1990s when they started to renovate the Gladstone hotel and many other places. A joint would fit in nicely there! LOL

Karen sorry for your loss
Ronni - hugs
Bill welcome back, glad you had a safe vacay
Gary today is one of those my kids better grow up fast days. Get your dd a great big hug!
Operator & dd - Happy Birthday! Glad you enjoyed yourself despite the coppers!

Hi Julia...did you see the race yesterday?

Pretty good counting there EZ. Did Angie help you with that or was it Bill? :p

Do I see a hint of sarcasm in the above most? Or is it just the prunes kicking in?

Nope, it's all the alcohol leaving. Our friends have pretty much kept us drunk since Tuesday. I'm just glad it's over with and I can go back to being just plain, old, boring Mom.

Gonna be hot here today...not even 5:30am and it is already 74 degrees

It's been cooking here too. I'm fighting like **** to keep my new roses from being turned into burning bushes. But, the weeds, they aren't having any problems. :mad:

No didn't catch the race. Its not the same since they changed weekends and no longer called Molson Indy. yes i am still pouting!

I'm with ya there Julia. IDK why, but, it's just not the same now that it's not The Winston Cup. Besides, Big Dale left us, so who cares anymore.

The race here just does not get the same pubicity that it use to get.

56 days left till school starts!

Karen, I just read back and want to offer you my condolences. Losing a parent is really hard and we also have to face the reality of being grown up.

Had a great weekend in Toronto and Oakville. Saw Jersey Boys and think it was one of the best shows I've ever seen - and, having worked in theatre, I've seen lots. Didn't see much garbage lying around Toronto but certainly heard the Honda "Indy" near the station yesterday. Had a great time at my brother's place in Oakville. He really did it up for my belated birthday - fireworks and three pipers plus an absolutely delicious cake. I hope I live to enjoy my 80th in ten years.

# 315 - are we slowing down?
