May the 4’s be with you
Newcomer and lurkers come on in. All of us frogs are friendly.
No, there is no real escape from the cube for me–at least until next Friday, when I go to visit Boo (barring that little potential problem of a NW Airlines strike…)
Then lets do a mind exercise. Put your feet up, close your eyes and think, “happy hour is near, happy hour is near….” 😉
I’m working it….
Once you achieve that heightened sense of happy hour, there will be plenty of beer here in the cafe.
Beer, mmmmmmm.
I may finally be up for one tonight. Rather ugly night Sunday for that, worst in years. Perhaps today…
It’s the cafe, so all the beer you want in here. I’m going to try and polish off a brewery Friday. 🙂
Escape The Cube
I wish! Several hours to go…
ask you haven’t realized that world leaders listen when FM talks.
Who the hell am I kidding. My dog doesn’t even listen. 🙂
If it is any consolation – not many listeners here, either.
How’s your day (apart from slacking)?
Me slack? Hah, I laugh at the thought. 🙂
Actually it’s been very unslackerly today. One good thing though. I went into the city today and among other things I got was a wireless router. Blogging around the house now. If I could just get used to the laptop keyboard everything would be perfect.
Hi Manny. Hope you’ve got your hat on too.
I may not fear the Enesaye but I’ll be damned if they’re getting into my brain!
Manny, Manny, Manny. Don’t you know they’re everywhere. Do you think the thoughts you’re thinking are yours? :~)
Interesting set up. Have any installation instructions handy?
all you need is an indrustrial-sized role of aluminum foil, identified target are, and loads of patience 🙂
You got me, Family Man. I reeealllly would like to escape my cube today. For some reason I’m all antsy — hard to be a busy little workerbee. I’m mixing my insect metaphors but you all know what I mean!
Last night I saw an accidental Maggie Gyllenhaal double feature of Monster House and World Trade Center. I’d give both a B for their looks and for Maggie Gyllenhaal. Well maybe an B+ for Monster House — it was really pretty good — but World Trade Center was rather TV-movie-like. Has anyone else seen it?
Haven’t see either yet. Glad you have the low down on them.
Antsy in the cube? I remember when I would be going nuts to get out of that damn chair and do something.
yeah, I’ve been up and down a dozen times in the last hour. Must… concentrate…
Must have beer, must have beer……. :~)
OK when’s that keg getting here again?
The keg is already here and I have a beer and some popcorn for you.
Oh that hits the spot! Now I can get through the afternoon refreshed and with a smile on my face. Thanks FM!
Always happy to serve a long distance drink.
Happy Hour will start in about 3 hrs. in the ctyd…thru the gate, ’round back…plenty of shade, cool breeze, music…now we just need the keg and the ladies to show up…:{)
clik to enlg
see ya there…
later
Well, I’m not exactly a lady, but I’ll hang with you in the breezy yard with music & a keg any day of the week, dada. The boys of the FBCafe are the bestest on the internetses. 🙂
Yeah, but you’re a Babe Magnet!…if you come, they’ll follow…:{)
And that’s one gate I’d love to be walking through!
Oh sure, leave out good old FM.
I’ve been put in my place, thank you very much. 😛
Everybody knows that! 🙂
The ego is happy now. 🙂
There should be something from me appearing in your mailbox soon. It went out today. 🙂
I can’t wait to receive IndyMail … 🙂
3 hours??? If it’s past 6:00 am then we’re late already. :~)
Hey dada, I see you liked my poo pic.
If it`s girls you want, here`s one showing a little leg.

Nothing like Betty.

POO works well w/ loserman too…Party Of One….ha!
Really gotta go…supposed to be somewhere in 20…you, Indy and FM keep the ladies amused, don’t drink all the beer…and please don’t break any guitar strings, it’s my last set…:{)
Later…for real
Does anyone know if Second Natures girl is ok?
I kept thinking of her all evening yesterday, but saw nothing more than all the good wishes for him & her.
At the top of the recommended diaries SN wrote about it. She’s home now and SN is taking care of her.
As I’ve said before, my “cube” is 75 acres and I’m about to go out into it and start putting in a small lawn for our new daycare center. This morning we were all working on another project but got our part of it done so now my worker bees are back to just doing maintenance.
Thinking of beer, the weekend and men probably in reverse of that order. Will there be plenty of all starting Friday at 3:31?
Hi Soup. Sounds like to much work. I’d rather be drinking beer. 🙂
Gotta run for a bit, family is calling.
Beer is free and drink plenty because we want you to be ready for Happy Hour.
I just escaped from my cube … 🙂
See I knew people would start getting the message and throw off their shackles to escape the monotony of cubihell. 🙂
Rebell all you cube dwellers, rebell!!!
Whoa, glad I got that out of my system. 🙂
How’s it going Olivia.
It was a bummer of a day. I picked up 2, count em: 2 containers of ice cream on the way home. Cookie dough, chocolate mayan, and plain old chocolate. Plus, I’ve got two types of chocolate cookies and! … a pkg of Mars bars in the fridge. I’m all set. 🙂
How was your day?
Lets see, you will eat some real food tonight won’t you?
It’s been going OK so far today. Since I’ve gotten the wireless hooked up I can’t figure out how to make the l/r buttons on my touch pad work again. I remember when I got the wireless keyboard and mouse, I disabled them for some reason and I can’t remember how to inable them again.
Is there a specific setting on the control panel or in the system tray. You could always try googling … 🙂
So the wireless is still working is it? Are you using the LT keyboard? Where have you been so far … have you explored how far your boundaries are?
Only been to the den so far. I’m back hooked up now. I figure if I want to do some fast typing and putting up pictures, I’d better be with what I know.
I’m going to go across the street to my sister’s place later and see if it reaches there.
I’ve gone into the control panel and looked at all the drivers, but I haven’t figured out the specific thing yet. I’m sure in time I’ll hit on it.
You’ll have to let us know when you make it to the porch … Then you’ll be like Kelly. 🙂
Seriously, you should google your laptop and touchpad and see what you get.
I think Kelly’s porch is enclosed. It’s to hot out there for the patio.
Have you ever known someone that will try everything before they look at the instructions. That’s me.
I used to dread Xmas just for putting the girls toys together. 🙂
I do happen to know a few of those type … 😉
Go to Start –> Control Panel –> Printers and Other Hardware –> Mouse –> Mouse Properties –> Should have a drop down box that lists the mouse(s), the external and the touchpad.
Thanks Olivia, but been there done that. I have an icon for just the mouse. I went into properties and I have 3 drivers. On the ligitech wireless, it’s enabled. On the touch pad, I can’t get the box to open up to enable it. I checked the driver and it said it was working properly, but I think when I installed the logitech it overwrote the touch pad one.
The thing is, I can still use the touch pad to move the pointer, but the l/r buttons don’t work. I can still get stuff done by tapping twice on the touch pad, but it turns into a hassel. I’ll get it figured out though.
Heh, I did something like that yesterday. Went to the store for bread, baking soda, and laundry detergent; walked out with a 6 pack of pudding cups, a pkg of chocolate donuts, and a box of Fudgesicles.
I hope your night is better than your day was.
Sounds delish Indy … 🙂
Sometimes the body knows what it needs and doesn’t bother the brain w/ the details … lol
(btw, the plain old chocolate was already in the freezor …)
Fudgesicles – God I haven’t had those in a while. I love those things.
I eat them about every 28 days. 🙂
Every 28 days huh. Me thinks I’m not going near that one. 🙂
You haven’t pulled them out in a long time FM 🙂
Are you slathering in ice cream yet?
I just about polished off the cookie dough … need to take a break before I start on the next one tho …
How was you day? and how’s Jim?
Ah to be a toddler again and not worry about my cholesterol level.
Day: comme ci comme ça
Jim: grumpy
Well, that doesn’t sound good.
starts off great and sometimes it stinks.
Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better …
Yeah but with the cholesterol level you get to take all those great pills. I set my clock by them.
not warning, so no pills yet.
That’s a very good thing then. I’ve been on them so long, I’ve forgotten what year I started taking them.
I’m feeling kinda queasy … think I overdid it … LOL
Hah, I knew it. Of course if you had already bought the ingredients for pimento cheese that would settle you stomach down right away. 🙂
please, no FM …
I need NDD here. We could give you the choice of that or the lutefisk stuffed chitlins. Pimento cheese sounds pretty appetizing now doesn’t it. 🙂
If I have my way the helmets will still collect dust.
Of course we haven’t had a gang up on FM night in awhile. 😛
you miss it, don’t you? 😉
Being a male who has reach my ripe old age, I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut. Though every now and then I stick my foot in it and the froggy bottom killer bees start to swarm. 🙂
we certainly believe that you have a lived a life of quietude, decorum, and discretion — just about as much as we believe you could beat Olivia in a mud wrestling contest.
Decorum and discretion are my middle names.
Now beating Olivia in mud wrestling is a different thing.
exist to be ignored
Which I usually do when I’m in the cafe. Old habits are hard to break though.

That was great Janet. I wish I had found that. 🙂
poor, pitiful dial-up people — not only do we never get to have any fun, we don’t even know what fun we’re missing.
she looks like the Orc who stole the ring from Frodo. To you LOTR fans I’m sure you know what that means – I don’t.
Hi SN. Tell Ryan I think for someone who got hit by a vehicle she looks great. However, with the pads on her arms she looks more sci-fi than fantasy.
How is she doing this afternoon and how are you doing?
Aww, poor baby.
I was going to discuss over at your place about whether you would become an IFO* once you get an Ohio license but I thought the test was enough to worry about.
*Idiot from Ohio
No, I’m sorta tied to my heritage being from Florida: The Craziest State.
I’m not sure about that Craziest state designation — sure there are weirdo patches but a big chunk of the state is so hypernormal it’s actually scary.
Boy do they have you fooled.
Pretty much all Floridians are Grade A whackjobs, but especially South Floridians, where I grew up. I like to think of the greater Miami area as where all the problems of The South™ meet all the problems of The City™, and then they dance the merengue together with machetes before an audience of urban chickens on crack who’ve been slated to die in a voodoo ritual.
Oh how I wish I were making that up for comedic effect.
I’ll give you the southern part of the state but during my bouts in northern half of florida I would have paid big bucks for some craziness.
Are you at all familiar with this film? That may as well be North FL.
Now, if you’re talking more like the Tampa Bay/Orlando area, yeah, there does seem to be a bit of weird normalcy going on around there. I’m very suspicious of them nonetheless. They’re hiding something. Like maybe the real Area 51 inside Space Mountain.
Wait a minute, you’re talking about my neck of the woods.
I do own a banjo though. 🙂
Okay now my mental image of you is on the porch, in the tighty whities, in the rocker, with the shotgun, playing the banjo, and watching for gators. 😉
OK I admit it, you nailed it. That’s exactly me. :~)
Tampa, Orlando, Clearwater, Jacksonville, and everywhere else they’ve drained the swamp.
I could take you to some spots in southern Utah that are freakier than anything you’ll come up with in Florida — and there won’t be any great food, either.
lol, not a fuckin’ chance.
that’s what I figured. 😉
Okay this is weird but I think she looks more like Colin.
But still, poor baby.
How soon does she get to come home?
I had the exact same thought about her brother but I censored it.
is a really admirable trait but I seem to have a natural antipathy toward admirable traits.
That’s just one of the many things I love about you. 🙂
Tell her I got hit by a car when I was 12. I went under the car instead of over. Crushed ribs and such… and look how I turned out…
er… well maybe you should just tell her that we are thinking of her and YOU and that we are so sorry this happened.
re my car accident on bike: Mayor’s daughter was driving so you guessed it.. we got fucked over. She even took off, never got out of the car. Teens took me to a local store. I was a bloody mess. From an early age I learned that politics rule over people instead of the other way.
Still don’t trust politicians.
Be well both of you.
