Cafe Closed. Lounge Open
Just a little while longer and beer, beer, beer.
Or, (in my case) chardonnay, chardonnay, chardonnay….! (Here I come!)
We’ve got plenty of that. George only likes beer.
Good to have lots of variety on hand.
Hey, MM!
What’s the countdown today? 3 is it? Are you down to 2 tomorrow, and then we throw ya a huge raucous drunken bash here on Friday? I’ll buy some nice French cheeses and make some of my signature baguettes for the occasion! FM can bring the haggis and goose grease.
Yup! It’s down to 2 as of tomorrow! Check out AndiF’s colorful countdown:
Five
Four
Three
There has got to be a big big party on your last day.
Yes, yes, big big party in cyber-space to celebrate Escape Day!
Friday afternoon I’ll be dancing around my computer knowing you are finally gone from that place.
Can we get live feed?
did you see my suggestion for how to print them out as a single page?
However — hint, hint — there just might be more yet to print.
Nope I musta missed that one in between pretending I was getting any real work done around this God forsaken place. Will look back to find it…..
No need to look. The idea is to open each one in a separate browser window and then resize and rearrange the windows. Then do a screen print and copy the image into a graphics editor and print from there.
Too late, I already looked! But thanks for explaining again anyway! (I need all the help I can get.)
Yay, AndiF!
close enough for the Queen of England, eh, olivia?
We do aim to please. We could have George deliver beer to all the poor souls chained to their desks.
I tried that for a while, and ended up parting from the desk due to irreconcilable differences. I think I was geneitically predisposed to being outdoors most of the day. Big question is, does being online count for that?
Not at all. A predisposed to being outdoors and being on line sounds perfect to me.
but ah, what does that mean exactly? 🙂
The carpenters in Winnipeg and Brandon would always say, “Good enough for the Queen of England” and the laugh, when trying to get some little project done that wasn’t working out quite rights, so instead of, just “Good enough.” They have the above quote. And someone would say, “You can say that again.” And so they would.
Also they had this neat little song they sang every time someone hit their thumb with the hammer. It starts out, “Compensation, compensation…” and I don’t remember the rest. ‘Cause they knew some guys wintering in Florida with the cooperation of a friendly Dr.
Great sense of humor those guys had.
got it covered!
It’s Beer:30 somewhere…
Enjoy
Peace
Thanks dada. I’ve always thought somewhere in the world people are drinking, so why restrict myself to any one time frame.
The Ultimate Beer Bong Geekdom Edition, w/ Construction Details!…no true Slacker should be without one…:{)

That’s genius in action. A lot of our local woodland distillers would be interested in that.
You’re makin’ Rube Goldberg look like an amateur.
Holy chihuahua! That would make ole Rube proud!
😀
You’ll appear for anybody won’t you? ::sniff:: I thought they were MY magic words.
generous, especially after reading about the talking fish who has signaled the apocalypse.
Hehe… gonna make it a daily appearance now Manny… I loved the cheesecake thread, even if I don’t ever eat the stuff. 🙂
That talking fish still blows my fragile leetle mind!
Sorry Mary! It just seemed the right thing to say at the time! Maybe I should just say Holy Esquinqule! from now on out … (I hope I spelled that right). <Tosses Mary a nice, cold brew and a bouquet of my finest weeds>
with ref to an FBC yest evening; Boulder wind info
I was probably in Denver, Jan of 72, when there were 8 days over 70mph. That was when I saw the number sign from the gas price stand (about 16″ x 25″) flapping up and down underneath an auto at a red light. Ya should’ve seen the guys face trying to figure out what was happening? ha ha!
windtable
Oh that’s just a slight breeze. 😉
No, it’s quite pleasant here…very spring-like.
I’ve been here 36 yrs and still not used to the winds…it can be extremely dangerous, esp around construction…as I’m sure you can imagine. Had some damage in Dec/Jan this year that I’ve got to repair this spring – shingles, roof and wall.
Peace
OK I’ve been trying to get this right all day. Lets see if it works.
Click for Larger Image
Great, you don’t know how long it took me to get it right.
Well I guess you do, I did say I’d been working on it all day.
Trial and Error my friend…OJT…the kinda stuff that, when you finally get it right, you remember!
It took me to your Site, which is cool…was that what you wanted?
I’m not sure at the moment. There’s still so much I don’t know what I can and can’t do there.
Olivia said she tried to add a comment in the Comments section, but couldn’t. It’s got this member thing, but I don’t know if someone has to be a memeber to comment. It’s supposed to be open to everyone, but there is still things I don’t understand.
That was made from a template, but you can make your own and they host it. But, I’m far away from that yet.
I tried it again with dada’s instructions and got nowhere. Do you need to have the larger image hosted with its own url? How does the image get bigger? Is there a little fairy elf inside that blows it up?
I only reduce the orig image in PhotoBucket to a manageable size, then use the URL in lieu of the Tag and size the posted image w/ code…
< img width=x src=…….. >
then you re-inset the full size URL behind per tutorial.
Magic!…Keep trying…You’ll get it.
ps: Preview is your friend…:{)
Peace
I’ve got to start snagging all these instructions and saving them at home so I can study and practice. Next thingie I want to learn is how to make one of those little thumbnails on my sig line, like Andi and Olivia do… guess I should ask them, huh?
Makes sense to me. 😉
I think my brain must be tired after a long day at the office, or else I’m just plain STUPID! But scroll up to see what a wonderful job I did embedding links to AndiF’s colorful countdown! It’s been a long time since I tried that one and my technique was a little rusty.
If you’re using PB, at the top of the page there is a “HTML Practice” heading…click on that. Also a good place to experiement is in old diaries….just be sure to use Preview, not Post.
Ya’ll are gonna get a bill for this…:{)
Peace
What I did was just like posting a regular picture, except I reduced it’s size down. Then I did the <a href= for linking. On my site I clicked on the thumbnail for the larger picture and copied the url to add it in.
here
although slightly lower highs.
Kinda breezy around here, but no real wind. That’s because I didn’t eat the Mexican food I was craving last night, so the breezes are pleasant.
Great cubicle picture, froggybottom! Makes me feel like I’m there.
I think that was the point. 😛
I read earlier where you’ve been working yourself into the ground. You need to slow down.
I’ll try, but it’s hard out here for a housewife.
The most under appreciated group of working people in the world. Well most at least.
I have know a few that made me look like the hardest working person on earth.
Thought of changing professions to pimp, given that last statement you made? hehehe.
w/ the purty flowers of course. 🙂
They just unchained me, so I’m free.
See ya’ll in a bit, eh? 😉
We’ll be waiting.
See ya’ll in a bit, eh?
we must be meant to understand that you are a Southerner Canadian — a member of a unique lard and beer-based culture of well-mannered, self-effacing people who scream for blood at a hockey games.
I thought everybody was that way?
Bloody hockey, lard and beer. Who could ask for more.
Miss O’s startin’ ta speak “Mercikan”…Oh great slothful one – you have saved anutha pore, misguided sole…Praise Be!
I was thinking of going out and starting tent revivals, but that’s too much work.
your minions do all the work and you make mucho dinero…and the only downside is not being 100% retired ~ say 90% – but you’re still young…you could achieve the ultimate goal – retire rich -devious…:{)
Good point, but it has one major drawback for me.
I hate lying.
Good on you!
Peace
LOL
My computer hung so I didn’t see the whole thing, but what I saw made me sick.
Mine is as barren as the Kansas plains and the Nebraska flatitude. Just piles of papers, a coffee cup and the usual office supply items (unfortunately, it’s a beige Swingline stapler. 🙁
I deliberately keep it that way in case I get fired, then all I have to do is put all my snacks and cup in a bag and scoot out the door!
Believe me, quitting time will not get here soon enough! These last few weeks have been hell in a handcart, and there doesn’t appear to be any let up anytime soon.
Now you know why I drink beer and stay up all hours!
I was lucky enough never to have a cubicle to work in. We had these old metal desk and chairs and all worked in one big room in most the places I was at.
It was good in some respects, but sometimes when you just had to get something important done, you couldn’t concentrate with other people BS’ing.
At least mine is private enough that I can slack for a little bit here and there during the day without getting caught. hehehehe
Well, hold down the fort my friend, cuz I’m winging my way outta here! Hope to be back later and have good pics of the Persian Pearl tulips!!
diary at the orange place
Been there and recommended.
Is that you masquerading as Family Man?
So the mystery continues. Hah.
You’re so obvious. Never a doubt in my mind, Courtney Beauregard.
posts to FM, you might have missed from last night;
here
and

Thanks NDD. I think we could swap a lot of stories.
I’ve gone over and re-did somethings and I need to see if anyone can comment. When you get a chance give it a try and let me know.
Thanks again.
It’s 5:30 where I am. Beer, beer beer?
Mary is here, yaaaaaaah.
I have Fresca. 🙂
are still waiting to hear about Bombay Dreams.
Yea I want to hear about the artistic value of the production.
I’m starting to think NDD and FM are the same person. Hmmmm…
No NDD is much smarter than I am. Plus I can’t even spell lutefisk.
NDD is the numinous nurturer of northern nature.
Andi if it wasn’t for google I wouldn’t understand half the things you say.
as your ‘word of the day’ calendar, only without the dates and the usefulness.
It was a touring company but I’d never heard of the show, apparently it’s been in London and New York.
Boy in India wants to save his poor grandmother and neighbors and decides that the way to do it is to become a big Bollywood film star. Which he does but sells out his principles and won’t admit he’s really just a poor untouchable until his childhood friend reminds him that there’s no place like home. Happy Ending. (Oh, and boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy sings song and gets girl.)
Well you covered the point I was looking for. 🙁
There were a lot of bare bellies with jewels in the belly button area — if that helps?
Well it’s OK, but…..
from Sniff. He would like you to ::weep:: instead of ::sniff:: in the cafe because he keeps thinking you’re calling him when you’re not which is very distracting and causes him to break concentration when he is chasing squirrels.
and he’s happy…teach him to fish for squirrels and they come to him!
Ecstasy!
Peace
is the whole point; it’s not like he actually wants to catch the squirrels.
But for people — good concept.
but Bu will lie near or next to me while I fish for them, and then when they get ‘involved’ with the bait, she’ll jump up and give chase…actually great family fun…:{)
Peace
I’m killing two birds with one stone — calling Sniff AND weeping. And Sniff always makes me feel better after I weep.
Gotta post and run, but these are hot out of the camera!
Oh, and yeah, these are only about 5 inches tall! The miracle of macro!
Hope you all like, and that Olivia gets back to see them, but I’ve got another 4 or 5 different ones, all good.
Going out on the patio to drink a beer now, not that present company isn’t delightful, but Chris wants to inaugurate it for the spring, so see you all later!
Great picture IVG.
I’ve got to start dinner. It’s lard and beer night tonight.
Be back in awhile.
Hey guys, er ya’ll… or somethin’. 🙂
Your biscuit don’t need butterin darlin.
Hi SN. 🙂
Long drive or interesting distractions?
Time to open up the new cafe!
or sarcasm?
Well, it just seems like about half the time when I show up at the cafe, the host decides to put up a new one. Nothing sarcastic about it.
How are you doing today?
I was reading it as “well here I am, time to close up” so maybe sarcasm was the wrong word and I should have gone for irony.
But in fact I’m going to go open a new lounge. You can be among the firs to trash it.
I just got home, if you want me to do it I will.
I’ll get it.
Having a good day? This cafe is a little full… 🙂
Yeah, I noticed. I’m having a reasonably good day — not the best day I’ve ever had, but not the worst either. Just glad it’s Wednesday, mostly.
I heard that Miss Piggy saw your linky from the last cafe and boy oh boy is she one pissed off piggy.
I think she’s going to kick Kermie’s ass… and maybe yours.
😀
Bring your drinks with you over here.
