SHADDIE....HOW IS YOUR TIME THIS WEEKEND. I MEANT TO ASK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND FORGOT EACH TIME!!! LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE FREE, THE DAY AND THE TIME...MY TIME THAT IS AND WE CAN BIOTCH TO EACH OTHER IF NOT THEN NEXT WEEKEND IS NOT GOOD. WE HAVE THE TOWN PICNIC.

GOOD NIGHT LADIES AND LURKERS! SLEEP TIGHT AND DON'T LEET THE BEDBUGS BITE!

Not free but reasonable this weekend. Anytime as per normal around 4.00pm to 4.30pm your time will suit me just fine I think. Let me just check the clock. Yep no earlier than 4.00pm your time. Remember I am home during the week as well so any day is appropriate. I ain't going anywhere at 6.00am

Annie,

Set a trap for Jeff. Get him to take off his pants. Then pull his b@lls down until they touch his ankles. Then let go. ***SNAP*** Then walk away slowly and look over your shoulder and say "teach you not to call me".

This may be why DH has stayed with me for 36 years, you think?

I'm not a shy flower any more - 36 years in I.T. working with all sorts of clowns has done that to me

Just because I like trivia and Mel deserves an answer -

What did ancient Egyptians and Cleopatra eat?

Fish, Bread, Beer, Figs, Dates, Grapes, Coconuts and Olives - tho only for the very rich, as well as peas, beans, garlic, turnips, onions, wheat products and honey

Just for fun I went to the Kraft Foods dot com site. They have a feature where you can plug in a couple of ingredients and it will produce a recipe for you.

First try - fish, beer and figs. Hmmm. Couldn't recommend a recipe for that.

Second try - bread, dates and turnips accckkkk bust

Third try - peas, beans, garlic. Success - 5 choices Speedy Mix & Match Stir Fry for Two (enough for her and Marc Anthony), Pickled Black Eyed Peas, and Oriental Shrimp and Spinach Salad as well as 2 other stir fries

Alas there's also nothing tasty that Kraft came up with using turnips, onions and honey which proves no matter what, you can't make a turnip taste good

Guess the ancient Egyptian cooks had to be more creative...

One roasted turnip + 47 roasted cloves of garlic. Even the turnip tastes okay - mind you no one will come near you for at least a week.

Right back to the taxes!

Happy, you never fail to crack me up. I may even scrape up the oomph to post one of these days... If I can get out of the doldrums, that is.

Meanwhile, hello to all. Personals will happen one of these days, meanwhile I'll just keep on lurking.

And by the way, I suspect Madcat's 'neggies' are a typo for "veggies'. Unless it's some weird Toronto food fad.

Huge hugs to Mel, Shad, Annie, Ceejay (extra hug for you - enjoy the xanax while it lasts), Rennie, Michele, Ruth and Hershey, Madcat, and whoever I'm forgetting.

Happy Friday ladies --

I'm so glad it's Friday, DH is coming home tonight, and I could really use a 2 day break from work. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can fish.

I really enjoyed the strength training class and dance class last night. I left the gym feeling SO great! Endorphins really are a wonderful thing!

I have physical therapy later today, not sure if it will be the working out type of therapy or the deep tissue massage type.

Shad - My projects aren't on time. They're a bit late. But my boss knows the challenges I'm running into and understands. Regardless, they have to be done by mid next week no matter what. But I am NOT working on the projects this weekend.

Mel - I hope you enjoy your day shopping!

Happy - I got the biggest laugh out of the "Jeff snap"! And you're Egyptian diet recipe finder! Too funny!

Carla - It's so great to hear from you. I hope you're doing okay and out of the doldrums. Hang in there!

Well, it's time I get to work.

A big and to all you terrific chicks!

Love you all,

HUGS BACK TO YOU CARLA...I NEVER THOUGHT OF it being "VEGGIES" LEAVE IT TO YOU TO FIGURE THIS OUT!

HAPPY....ME THINKS YOU HAVE FAR TOO MUCH TIME TO SPEND ON THE COMPUTER IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THE KRAFT WEBSITE I LOVE TURNIPS...MASHED AND WITH LOTS OF BUTTER AND SALT AND PEPPER. YUM! BUT I DON'T EAT THEM ANYMORE. TOO HARD TO CUT UP AND I DON'T LIKE FROZEN. THAT'S SOME FOOD PYRAMID CLEO & MARC ANTONY HAD

SHAD...I FORGOT ABOUT WEEKDAYS. DUH!! NEXT WEEK WOULD EVEN BE BETTER FOR ME. THE ACCOUNTANT IS COMING THIS WEEKEND..... THE ONE THAT NEEDS BABYSITTING. ...AND ALSO DURING THE WEEK THE DOORBELL WON'T BE RINGING AS MUCH AND THE KIDS WILL BE LEAVING FOR THE TRAILER TO WINTERIZE IT. OK A WEEKDAY IT IS. I'LL BE MORE SPECIFIC BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

GOOD MORNING CHICKS. IT'S A LITTLE NIPPY OUT THERE THIS MORNING. I THINK IF I GET A CHANCE THIS WEEKEND I SHOULD GET SOME HEAVIER CLOTHES READY.
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CHANGES IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION. THERE HAVE BEEN MEETINGS AFTER 4PM AND ALSO ON SOME WEEKENDS. NO OVERTIME ALLOWED FOR THE MEN SO NOW IT'S MY JOB TO OPEN AND CLOSE. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY OR WHAT. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 SO FAR HAVING TO DO WITH SOME NEW PROJECTS COMING UP. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!
THE KIDS WENT FOOD SHOPPING LAST NIGHT. I DON'T HAVE TO GO TODAY! HAVING A 3 DAY WEEKEND...JUST ME, THE MEETING, THE PLUMBER AND ONE ACCT!!
HAPPY FRIDAY/SATURDAY

Michelle..good Morning Early Bird!! Hope The Pt Goes Well!! Save Me Some Endorphins!! I Could Use Some !! Have Fun Time With The Dh!!

TGIF...This will be a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG weekend to get thru. I wish I had to work. Down time just kills me.

Shad..I must be one hellava strong women cause there has been an awful lot of hurt in my lifetime. I must of been a bad person in my past life to warrent this kind of crap. Painting...YUCK...I no likie painting.... May the force be with you.

MEL...Bless your heart. Plumbing probs are the worst. Especially when dealing with the elders.

Happy..OMG, hilarious, and I would do just that to Jeff if I ever see him again. My DD, Samantha, said she has an *ss kicking to give him. LOL

Carla...Perk up girl. I have been down in the dumps enough for all the worldly chickies.

My tummy is hurting this morning and have been to the potty at least 4 times already. YIKES.

Went to dinner with a couple of GFs last night, we had a good time and laughed a lot, man bashed, and ate chicken alfredo at Italian Gardens Restaurant (a local Italian place). That is the restaurant we went to before prom back in the day. Memories.

Hello to all the chickies. Have a marvelous Friday and weekend.

Love and Hugs

Good morning ladies,

Having some problems getting this site to respond this morning.

You know, the funny thing is ... on Madcat's post I saw that as Veggies - guess I don't pay much attention.

Mel - am I reading this wrong or are they piling more work on you, saving themselves money and not paying you? I know you won't let them take advantage of you but I smell fish somewhere! And turnips do look like they are a bit fiesty to peel up...

Carla - good to see you again. Glad I could make you smile We miss you.

Michelle - sounds like you are in the workout groove again. Have a great weekend with the DH. Hope he brings you back a fun hat or something I hope you are starting to dry out up there. Getting kinda chilly to be sitting out on the water in the wee hours of the morning - brrrrrr.

Shad - 47 cloves of garlic is one way to dress up a turnip I think polite southern charm is a lost art limited to a select few down here. Which other rooms are you putting floors into?

Annie, Ceejay - hope the two of you are feeling better today. Funny how sometimes time flies by and other times, it just seems to drag on endlessly. But one thing is for sure, eventually things do get better if it doesn't seem so at the moment.

Nothing much new on my end. Glad it's Friday. I think the hip pain may have in fact been lower abs. It's getting better. I did take a pass on the gym today but I'm very much looking forward to going back on Monday. Feeling a bit out of sorts without my routine so that's a good thing.

Think I'm going to try and get to work a little early today so I'll sign off now. Happy Friday to all.

My week off is coming to a close to fast, sigh. The only thing that makes me want to go back to work is to find out what changes have been made if any. I'm praying that we go to an 8 hour shift. I'm really tired of he 12 hour shifts.

Mel--Don't let them walk over you at work.

Carla
Good to see you. I thought Madcat meant niggles.

Happy and Annie
Hello I see your egg lights aglow above me.

I'm going to my uncles this afternoon and I need to do some things before I get on the road. Have a good week end.

too funny Mel exactly what I said when I drove by the other day. $3.79 for the low end to $4.89 for the premium

Thank you to Carla for providing the Toronto-to-rest-of-the-Blessed-World translation. It was typo and should have been "veggies".

Our gas prices actually dropped again last night to 1.13/ litre (about 4.02/gallon) which is a price we haven't seen in quite some time. It was 1.36 last week (about 4.79US/gallon). Hmmm, methinks there might be a bit of price fixing happening, ya think? <sarcasm>Heck, it's not as if this country actually is one of the largest oil and gas producers on the planet or anything.</sarcasm> I'm glad I can walk home most nights.

Back later for the commenting.
