    Thanks, bud. I imagine this will be a somber night...hopefully with some distractions, and definitely with loving on those closest to us. Too many unable to do the same.

    Is it too early to hit the lounge? I'm definitely in need of becoming comfortably numb right about now :(
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I AM MINE

    With ya, riotgrl.

    Comfortably numb, and fortunately, comforted by who and what are around me.

    Been counting my blessings.

    Question: I have to work a few hours today on my day off. If I slip a little Bailey's in my coffee should I consider firing myself or just let it go... just this one time?

    I think the boss will be ok with it just this once :)

    My supervisor just gave me a bottle of wine for the holidays. Wonder if she would be opposed to me drinking it right now :think: :lol:

    What will you guys have? This round's on me.

    I'll have a rum and coke, please.

    My fingers need a break, a long one! They can play with a straw instead of a keyboard!

    Coming up!

    I've never tried that. A beer I gather?
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    You know things are rough around these parts when we're clamoring for the bar on a Monday afternoon.

    I've gotta wait till the workday's over to indulge...but ohhh man, am I gonna!

    Meantime - cheers, friends.

    It's well into the evening for me hedonist :mrgreen:

    Ah.... Stouts and ales - a bit different to the readily available beers in bars when I lived in the US!

    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    Its been a tough few days. I'll take a Bombay and tonic, make it a double with a lime. And, a umm, is there a smoking car? I need a stogie. And if not, is it okay if I step outside on the rear "portico" and light up? Anyone care to join me?

    Peace.

    Oh yes, there IS a smoking car.

    What I like about this place is that no matter where we might part on some roads, at some point, we in some way come together.

    Hope your days lighten up some - and that goes for all of us.

    Hey, it happens to the best of us. I was in the grocery store once and a clerk came up from behind me and said, "Do you need help finding anything, ma'am." I turned around and he got very flustered and I'm pretty sure I turned red. :lol:

    A bottle eh? Top shelf, I presume!

    Merlot- good choice, F4F!

    I'm right behind you, Halifax2TheMax and Hedonist!

    How's that bottle working for you, Catefrances?

    Good to see you all here.

    To better days! Cherio!

    Ha. I worked at Subway during a summer in college and asked a customer "what sandwich would you like sir?" It was a lady. There was nothing I could say at that point to backtrack. Awkward!
