Hello, MannE. I always wonder if you have those ingredients on hand for the elaborate drinks you post. I can’t imagine ever being together enough to have them all in stock and ready to go.
They’re goin’. That’s really all I have to say about that. I’m a bit behind in a couple of classes, but such is life. I should be caught up by the end of this week, as I have absolutely no work to hand in for the rest of the week.
Aside from that, I’ll be home in a week for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to catching up with friends from high school.
What’re having for dinner? I think one of the reasons I had such a long nap this afternoon is because I broke out the ice cream. Triple chocolate. 🙂
I’m slacking tonight. Tomorrow at school about half my kids will stay at home because of the half day. I’ll do a little one-on-one and small group work with the rest, but mostly we will get out the building stuff and give our creative sides a romp in park. Then it’s home for a luxurious, early afternoon nap.
I know exactly how you’re feeling. I used to hate to go to meetings. I really hated the meetings that seemed to run on forever. Sometimes I would want to tell some people, “would you shut the hell up so we can get out of here.” It seems some people in meetings like to hear themselves talk even when they’re saying nothing.
Virtually every college department has at least one of these people. I think it must be a rule written down somewhere.
“oh, professor gormezano has retired. Time to hire another gasbag to replace her”.
Most of my meeting were during the time I was in the military. My last boss had a rule that no meeting was to last over an hour. So you had to have what you wanted to say short and staight to the point. That was refreshing.
That’s my rule, too for the weekly meeting that I run (my lab members). One hour or less. And sometimes, we don’t sit, we just stand. It really keeps things short and sweet. Or short, anyway. If people want to visit afterward or beforehand, they can, but not at the meeting. And I don’t invite bloviators back to my lab after their first semester.
So if it’s dark when you get up and dark when you go to bed, and you nap during the day … do you ever see the sun? Hmmmmm … maybe you’re a vampire! lol
I’ve always liked see the sunrise. I usually stay awake during the day long enough to look out my window and think, god that lawn need to have something done to it. Then I yawn and take a nap. 🙂
I’ve never understood why people do that. I don’t have a tatoo and I’m not saying anything is wrong with them. However, to tatoo your face to look like a skull is way to far out for me. But to each their own.
BTW I wouldn’t go out in the light if I had that. 🙂
With a tatoo like that, I wouldn’t leave the house. I’ve always wondered when people do something like that, how do they feel about it when they reach 60 or 70 years of age.
As I have to occasionally remind my mother, you can plan you funeral all you want, but the survivors make the plans. If that guy’s in my family, that coffin is nailed shut. Possibly, cremation is a better choice.
Hey, I forgot I wrote this and then just remembered to check for responses. Ok, cool, I love the special blends, especially the chronic ones, lol…
Hi, FM and Dada and all you froggers, that sounds funny…
Ok load the hooka, I’m ready!!!!!
Oh sorry, I got lost in thought, mighty good that special blend of your, let me put in a dash of my own special blend for you to try.
I am doing pretty good, finally letting myself believe we won….kept thinking I would wake up and find it all a dream. Plus I have been the happy gardner with my flowers while most of the country is looking at bare branches…sometimes I feel bad you all can’t have year round flowers, they keep me sane.
How are you doing, you are in colorado, right.
For some strange reason, I started singing “Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride,uh huh,” when I saw this picture. Our minds are a truly stange web of connections and memories.
What’s the drink recipe of the day?
the Screaming Multiple Orgasm on the Beach
Enjoy! And no faking it.
If I drink a couple of those, I wouldn’t even know that I was having a orgasm, let alone be able to fake it.
Hello, MannE. I always wonder if you have those ingredients on hand for the elaborate drinks you post. I can’t imagine ever being together enough to have them all in stock and ready to go.
a halfway decent liquor selection, leftovers from my bartending cousin who used to live with me. Good times, good times.
Ah, that explains it. A professional resource in the family. BTW, check your email.
Ah, as Eyebeam, one of my fave cartoons of the past used to say, The Two Principles of Law: Caffeine by Day, Alcohol by Night!
Evenin’ folks. I have a light night tonight, planning on going to sleep very early and getting a good 10 hours of sleep or so.
How’s are classes going?
They’re goin’. That’s really all I have to say about that. I’m a bit behind in a couple of classes, but such is life. I should be caught up by the end of this week, as I have absolutely no work to hand in for the rest of the week.
Aside from that, I’ll be home in a week for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to catching up with friends from high school.
Are you in a dorm or an apartment? The reason I liked to go home was to escape the awful dorm food.
I’m in a dorm, but I don’t have a meal plan. The dorm is like an apartment, so I usually end up making my own dinner.
What’s his favorite drink?
he’s a big fan of the Flying Teetsie Fly. Go figure 🙂
I like Darwin. Unlike George when he bartends, Darwin does wear clothes. 🙂
Hey that’s not saying clothes are a requirement in the cafe, but it is different. 🙂
I’ll be right back.
Better watch out. You know how Andi is always asking for pictures. 🙂
I left iSight on!
Yep you’ve got to watch those gadgets. 🙂
I’ve asked you before, stopping looking at my gadget!
Trust me, I glad there’s only words I see. 🙂
That’s as far as I care to go with this thread. Like Monty Python, I have no punchline.
Evening, one and all. I come bearing thirst and eyeing a half-day tomorrow. Set ’em up and keep ’em coming.
Good evening. Hope everyone is doing fine tonight.
A nap is alway good. What’s been going on in Olivialand?
and watching KO … 🙂
What’re having for dinner? I think one of the reasons I had such a long nap this afternoon is because I broke out the ice cream. Triple chocolate. 🙂
Hey, FM. The ice cream sounds good. Reminds me that I’ve got cheese cake in the frig.
Hiya Teach. Geeze you’ve got me wanting cheese cake now. That’s usually Manny’s job. 🙂
See you’ve got half a day off tomorrow. Hope you do some slacking.
cheese cake….mmmmmm
I need to eat dinner first, tho. I have marinated pork in the roaster – tried out a new recipe made with an achiote chile paste. can’t wait!
That sounds good Manny. Remember, we do take care packages. 🙂
I’m slacking tonight. Tomorrow at school about half my kids will stay at home because of the half day. I’ll do a little one-on-one and small group work with the rest, but mostly we will get out the building stuff and give our creative sides a romp in park. Then it’s home for a luxurious, early afternoon nap.
I’m glad to hear you’re having a little slack time. I knew you had the potential. Now we’ve got to work on Kidspeak. 🙂
Yes, well, some of us here have to put in a full day in the salt mines tomorrow. A day of meetings. Yuck, what I hate the most about my job.

When I ran meetings that pretty much the way I did it too. Except for the standing of course. 🙂
Everyone knew that if they had something to discuss that would take a long time, it would have to be before or after.
Of course, some people can take a bathroom break or get a coke when the want.
that’s for sure …. roasted chicken brst … nothing fancy.
Sometimes the simple meals tastes the best.
So how do you like it getting dark earlier?
If I was a vampire, it would be great though! 🙂
Like I said earlier, I don’t mind it. Since I’m not a night person, it’s nice to go to bed when it’s dark outside.
so it must be dark when you get up too right?
So if it’s dark when you get up and dark when you go to bed, and you nap during the day … do you ever see the sun? Hmmmmm … maybe you’re a vampire! lol

What do you think?

Interesting social experiment his life is going to be from now on … Would you go out in the dark?
With a tatoo like that, I wouldn’t leave the house. I’ve always wondered when people do something like that, how do they feel about it when they reach 60 or 70 years of age.
seems a bit extreme … and you have to wonder what the consequences of such a choice will be … mais, chacun a son goût, d’accord!
OK you just had to have me google didn’t ya. But I can’t find what the last part of your sentence means.
d’accord?
mais, chacun a son goût, d’accord!
Is that Canadian talk? 🙂
but, to each his own … right!
OoooooooK. 🙂
these are mandatory learnings if you want to maintain that honourary cdn status … 🙂
Yeah I’ve been falling behind on my cdn studies. I guess I need to watch more hockey. 🙂
What’s your Canadian beer of choice?
Keith’s India Pale Ale …
and Rickard’s Red too.
What about you?
but I like LaBatt’s Blue. To tell the truth, I’m a real lightweight these days. I rarely drink. If I do, I like Harp or Bass Ale.
Actually if my understanding is correct, I need to watch hockey and drink massive quantities of beer. I can live with that. 🙂
don’t forget that … 🙂
How could I forget poutine!
Ah yes, the good life. Beer, poutine and hockey. 🙂
Trust me, this guy’s not gonna see 40.
I tend to agree with you.
And I’m pulling for a closed coffin.
You never know. If he was crazy enough to have that tatooed on his face, he would probably want everyone to see it.
I just can’t imagine him having kids one day and trying to tell them, you shouldn’t do this because…….
If I was the kid, I would just break up laughing and say sure.
As I have to occasionally remind my mother, you can plan you funeral all you want, but the survivors make the plans. If that guy’s in my family, that coffin is nailed shut. Possibly, cremation is a better choice.
You know, I’ve told FMom pretty much the samething.
For that guy, I wonder if they have halloween funerals.
Looks like we chased everyone off Fred … 🙂
Yep Ginger. Where are all the yappers at?
Are you going to go over to the new cafe before you head off to bed?
Yep going now.
I’ll be your server tonight….gaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Where’s the chain saw?
Think I’ll go shopping for clothes instead
Hi dada. I like that shopping for clothes.
there’s some fun stuff there…I esp liked “boyfriend” and “dog crap”…:{)
Hey d … Jason is right.
Those are cute! Well, maybe not the dog crapping one … that’s just as bad as the tattoo!
I think SN needs to see the dog crap one. Give her some ideas for her neighbor.
That’s boy’s not right in the head.
I’ll bet the inside is scarier than the outside.
you’d win that bet I think
Hi Mannee and all, say manee I was wondering what’s in that hooka pipe you occasionally bring to the lounge.
And did you bring it tonight?
Hi Diane.
It’s good to see you. How have you been doing?
The Enn-Ess-Aye is probably listening in, so I’ll just call it “dada’s special blend” 😉
have you bought one of those things yet?
AhLow..anyone out there?
Of course we’re here. How’s it going tonight?
of hand selected and tested herbs, aromatic but soothing…patent pending
And LEGAL absolutely LEGAL.
in Ansterdam.
Such a beautiful city with great bars. 🙂
Hey, I forgot I wrote this and then just remembered to check for responses. Ok, cool, I love the special blends, especially the chronic ones, lol…
Hi, FM and Dada and all you froggers, that sounds funny…
Ok load the hooka, I’m ready!!!!!
bogarting the hookah again, Diane…give him a nudge
How ya doin’?
Oh sorry, I got lost in thought, mighty good that special blend of your, let me put in a dash of my own special blend for you to try.
I am doing pretty good, finally letting myself believe we won….kept thinking I would wake up and find it all a dream. Plus I have been the happy gardner with my flowers while most of the country is looking at bare branches…sometimes I feel bad you all can’t have year round flowers, they keep me sane.
How are you doing, you are in colorado, right.
it’s trying to be winter…already had over a foot of snow at casa dada.
Time to tend to dinner, as its in it’s last throes, as it were…
later
You better watch out. After a few of Manny’s drinks and the hooka, it’s no telling what you’ll be doing. 🙂
Harpo Froggie weighing in.
Hi MM. How’s it going tonight?
For some strange reason, I started singing “Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride,uh huh,” when I saw this picture. Our minds are a truly stange web of connections and memories.
Hiya O and FM and Teach! I’m still in my minimalist stay off the keyboards as much as possible mode, but much LOVE TO ALL!!
What Olivia just said MM.
i’ll be right back with a new lounge.
come on over to the 24/7 Lounge
