A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2181 Slamming Coffee Is So Fun!

Afgrey is going to slam the doors on the last CH very soon now, so I got this open for us.





Merme *keeping her butt from being clipped by the doors swinging shut*

And did you hurt yourself, Miss Afgreyparrot?

Have you any Beam to go with this Pepsi Maxi left for me?



Merme

Ouch. I've got bruises on my behind, now.

Naw, I was joshing you

so.... this is where everybody is!
that was a quick over and out in the old ch.

Tina I keep an eye out when Afgrey turns up. I've had to suck my sore paws too many times being stung with those doors!




Merme *smarter than the average bear*

Actually I think it is funny that afgrey slammed her own bad self in the last CH.

Hi Cricket. I'm glad you found us!

OMG, I need a new computer, desperately. Just turning pages here freezes the program, so I have to launch IE again, come here, log in again, and come back. If I can't get a screen here that is the right colors, then I have to reboot. Sometimes it is very frustrating!


Merme

my computer was giving me a very hard time last week. i ran a defrag and config and it's running as good as.....well...as good as a 6 yr old computer will run, anyways. have you tried anything like that, merme?

No I haven't, Cricket. My computer belongs to someone else and he's set limits as to what I am allowed to do with it. He is a computer expert and usually does those tasks himself when he visits. But he hasn't visited in a year!


Merme

I still feel very sick to my stomach, so I'm going to go lay down for a while.

See you all later.


Merme

you have a pm, merme.

well, I'm signing off as well. I'm still fighting this head cold and the rest of this week is going to be very long hard days. gotta get some rest.

Hi Merme, Just a suggestion, try if you dont already clearing you cache every day. And your browsing history. Also try using Firefox. Its fAR SUPERIOR to IE! :wink:

Thank you, Kim.

That's all for me for tonight.


Safe away home O my palies, and sweet dreams to you all!

I just have to bring up something from the old CH because I am sitting here laughing and I can't stop. The snow shoeing conversation...it is really funny! I have never thought of snow shoeing in the way that you do I guess Cricket! I liked your description...round wicker things that people wear on their feet that you have seen on TV. That was really funny to me!! There are some wooden ones. James has a metal pair. They are really nice and make a big difference when you need to walk through snow. It can really be a lot of fun. We have to make the best of our weather I guess so we learn to enjoy those sorts of things! I just had to bring this back up because this really cracked me up.

If you have never really seen it you don't understand some things. I never wanted to go downhill skiing but I enjoyed cross country a lot. It was heavy hard work but a lot of fun. I never 'shoed'.

Good morning. I'm up a little early this morning. Just about ready to dive into my coffee.

Good morning, everybody!

I am really glad our storm yesterday didn't amount to much.

I've got a busy day but the early coffee is good and eggs w/ toast will be soon.



Merme

I just cannot deal with food too early in the mornings most days. Jonni just ate most of a twice baked potato (I cooked ahead and froze) and wanted to know if I wanted to finish it. Most of the time I jump at the opportunity but not so early. But my dog is happy.

It's another snow day in Monroe, NC. Woooooo Whooooooo

Another free study day for your test this month.(yes, I am praying for you) Congrats, Sheri!

I was just thinking that and thank you.

Mee too, Sheri!!!

Yeah I definitely understand that you may not understand if you haven't ever seen it. I just got a chuckle out of it.

Nap time for me. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

good to know I made some of you laugh with my description of the visual I got from shoeing. I wasn't trying to be funny, but whatever works.

I'm cooking up some stew this evening. I have only one load of laundry to fold and one load of dishes. then I plan on eating a bite and getting under some covers for the rest of the evening. I'm still fighting this cold and am dead dog tired tonight. I may try to pop back in.

oh, you just reminded me I have laundry in the dryer to fold. I have some meatball stroganoff heating to serve over noddles.

ooohhh, I love stroganoff tina!

I went to start on that laundry, which is staring my down, and got to thinking about about the shoeing again. And, what jessica was saying about how you have to have fun with the weather you have. Years ago when I was in college, we had a pretty bad ice storm. very rare around here! We had this huge hill across the way from our dorm and we all carried our laundry baskets to the top of the hill and sledded down. ha ha. it was so much fun. a bit scarry at the end, though cause the hill leveled out only a few feet before the 3 foot concrete retaining wall, then the parking lot. ha ha. we had to learn quickly to make short stops...in ice! ha ha. it's a wonder no one got hurt seriously.

The things I used to do when I was young and stupid. I told my kids about a few, then told them if they wanted to try it, just let me know so I could kill 'em before I was shocked by an accidental death.

good one!


just poking in to say hi and let y'all know i'm still alive. just not real "talky" to use a phrase my kids use. but i'm here more often than not!

That is a good story Cricket!!

I hope I didn't hurt any feelings by laughing about the shoeing. I wasn't trying to make anybody feel bad. It just gave me a chuckle. I wasn't really laughing AT anyone!

Jess I understood what you were chuckling about. Your chuckle gave me one, also.

As did the mental image of Cricket flying down the ice hill in a laundry basket!

Merme

Hi everybody-----

Valarie and her room mate used food trays from the cafeteria to slide down the hill when they were in college. They both still have their trays. She said they were piled up outside by the cafeteria door--so they muat have been old ones the help the kids to use as sleds???

Thanks Merme!

Hi Carol! How are you this evening?

Oh and HI there Miss Jiffy if you are still here browsing.

Merme

I am fine---watching the last of Mr & Mrs Smith in FX channel---

Oh I haven't seen that movie. Is it good? I am just not a big movie watcher. I will watch a movie if we are home on a Saturday night or sometimes on a Sunday afternoon. I wish I watched more though. There are a lot that I want to see.

yep, still here
i know what you mean, but i can't tell you the last one i did watch!

it is ok it is about 2 people who are married. They had both been "spys " but for different sides-----their bosses didnt like thwem being married so they gave each a hit on the other---at the end they are trying to get away alive from both sides-----I had seen paerts of it several times---so I decided to watch the whole thing for once

I've been home since 5 but just couldn't pull myself together well enough to visit w/ y'all. I ate a little something & crashed on the couch for a while. Now I'm having a fresh coffee & a small sandwich and am feeling MUCH restored.

My new agency has been sending me girls that work so well they don't leave me many chores to do! I turn around to do something and she is already doing it. I put something on my to do list and she nails it first. I've had 4 girls from this agency and they all work like that! I'm starting to feel like I have a life of leisure.

My new girl can't come on Friday mornings because of a babysitting issue. So we worked out a deal where she will come on Friday evenings. This will be PERFECT because when I get home from dialysis on Friday's I am completely done in... really rough shape. But Maxi is here & I need to stay on top to get dinner on and whatnot. This will be wonderful to have her come then. I can rest and she can get dinner started. This will be so much better for us.
