Think I'll sit down here for a bit...

[seajoy]

Gee thanks...I needed that!

 

[Studeclunker]

Seajoy, I noticed that you've changed your character. Is that the empty tomb behind you? If so, what an excellent picture.

 

[Studeclunker]

I feel like I'm being followed around by the political-correctness police today...

Ha ha. Big brother is watching. Time to take ANOTHER break from this particular area of the CF methinks.

Peace, everyone.

Yes, I did change it...and yes, it's the empty tomb. Better than standing out in the snow like before.
The heat is good for the fibro.
And Jesus Resurrection is good for the soul!

Oh, come on....stay. There's no booze allowed in here, so things don't get too out of hand. Only tea, coffee, or cocoa. Maybe some cider now and again.

What! No booze? Hmm, no one told me that. Is that written down some where?

 

[Studeclunker]

Some of the fellas were bringing in beer whilst Seajoy was out a while ago. Me, I'm a tea drinker. If they did a blood test on me it would come out Tetley positive with a reading of at least ten on the Bieglow.

 

[DaRev]

What!??!!??

Who said no beer??!?

 

[synger]

*slips some Honey Liqueur in her PG Tips tea*

Hmm, what?

Don't panic...just in this thread (unless too much liberal talk elsewhere forces one to come here for refuge ).

Please don't , I can't stand to see a man !

Hmm, what?

I never thought of that...sounds good!
OK...forget the rules!!!

Thanks for the laugh Seajoy and everyone else. What a great way to start the day!

Maybe I'll break out the ginger brandy tonight or just have a beer?

The honey liqueur was a move of desperation. My husband likes very sweet drinks, but doesn't drink much. So when we get a bottle of vodka (my drink of choice), he'll look at the liqueurs and find one that sounds interesting, and buy it. So we ended up with a liquor cabinet containing Sabra (chocolate orange liqueur from Israel), a tiramisu liqueur, honey liqueur, french vanilla liqueur, and a blueberry liqueur. This is on top of our normal trinity of butterscotch snapps, coffee liqueur, and raspberry liqueur (all of which are really good in milk).

I got so tired of looking at ancient bottles of liqueurs, which he tasted once, and which are much too sweet for me, that I started trying them in tea. Very, very nice! And a great way to get rid of them. *grins*

 

[Studeclunker]

It has been a pleasure here. Thank all of you for your hospitality. I feel a need to appologise for a remark I made here earlier. Saturday was not a good day.
Again, it's been a pleasure. God bless and keep you all.

 

[Studeclunker]

I think a healthy dose of Blackberry brandy would have been a welcome addition to my tea yesterday. Then again, there was a Valentine's day message posted on this forum inspired by alcohol. I don't think that kind of prose would have helped the situation (LOL).

Today isn't going any better. My car died on the driveway last night and this morning was a deluge. I just couldn't face the tempest and the dead car at the same time. Of course, I suppose it could be worse. I could be in Parish New York where they have over nine feet of snow!! And here I thought South Bend was bad...

By the way, it's now blazingly sunny and a toasty 55 degrees. Oi.

If you'll forgive me, mates, I'll pour out this morning. Someone please hand me that bottle with the purple cap, in the fridge please...

 

[QuiltAngel]

It is a balmy 27 degrees today with snow on the way tonight and a drop of temps to the teens. Hey, we have been below zero or single digits with strong winds the last two weeks. I gotta celebrate this warm temperature, we will take anything we can get.

 

[Studeclunker]

Ah, frigid it may be right now, but at least you're not facing water rationing like we are. Precipitation has been half of normal so far, here. If things keep going the way they are, my well will dry out again before July possibly early June. I gotta get outta this place.

Yikes. I forget where you are. I know that there are parts of the country that are very dry. We lived in one of those areas until we moved here almost 8 years ago. They are just now getting some precip that is so needed.

Where I am, the farmers tile their fields so that water will run off, we get so much. I wish we could share our excess moisture with those who need it.

I pray that you can work it out to make this move and to get a job.
