Hi All

WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING ? ? ? [?] [?] [?]

Our high today is going to be 88. I had to sleep with the windows open and the ceiling fan on last night. [:(] Mother Nature, this is April, NOT JULY. [:(!] [:(] [:(!]

My rule of thumb is if it hits 85 degrees then I leave the air conditioning on for the dog. BUT it is W A Y tooooooooo early to start using the a/c. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!]

I was looking for a little relief from the gas bill but if the a/c comes on now there will be no relief. [xx(] [V] [xx(]


I will be working Friday. It is a railroad holiday so I get paid regular time if I work or not, then overtime for working. [:)] I just can't pass up 8 hours of overtime for nothing. [;)]

The Deal or No Deal show was cute last night. The contestant not only left with $301,000, he also left with his new financee. He proposed to her on the show. And of course Howie Mandell had to get in on the act. It was just as funny as he is. I have always like HM and love his Bobby character.

Everyone Take Care

Shedding? Try Dalmatians - walking snowstorms! You might not think a shorthair will shed, but you'd be wrong. If you're wearing a "sticky" fabric - watch out!

My old pup does a pretty serious shed in late summer (which appears to be due in part to some allergies). Keeps the vacuum busy.[:(!] Put the two of them together and watch the dust bunnies multiply...

Oops, sorry if I ruined lunch for anyone- I'll take a ham, cheese, and lettuce sandwich please.

[cherokee woman]

Lunch is ready to be served out on the patio:

We're having the following sandwiches: BLTs, tuna salad sandwiches, bologna
and cheese, ham, ham & cheese, cheese and lettuce. You can also have your
choice of potato chips or fries with your sandwiches.

Dessert will be: fruit cocktail Jell-O and oatmeal raisin cookies.

[edblysard]

Which is why Boa Constrictors are the perfect pet...they dont bark, scratch the door, sharpen claws on furniture, never get you up at night to be let out, you dont have to walk them, they never shed(hair, that is) and they dont care if you go into the bathroom and shut the door...
Added bonus, your neighbors never want to come over!

Don't shave the dog! I have lived with dog/cat hair for most of my life and wouldn't be able to face the world if I didn't have a certain amount of it all over my clothes. In fact, since Mz Moo has been gone almost a year now - I am just now wearing clothes with almost no pet hair. Sad, isn't it! My pet rock just doesn't shed. Or move. Or eat.

Here's a question for you all...

Why do I always show up when no one is around.

Am I in an alternate universe, or just suffer from really bad timing.

I know, you are all avoiding me. It's the dog hair, right? Mookie, I'm sorry, I try to get it all off, but the dog keeps shedding.

I've been thinking of shaving her bald (the dog, not Mookie).

Or not,

Anyhow, can I please have some coffee...and a doughnut, and a piece of pie—no make that some cake, with ice cream on the side (I'm working into lunch time, bear with me).

Tanks,
Josie

I'll probably be scarce, as we do get tomorrow off and we're headed up to Minnesota to be with my family for Easter. I will be able to check in on the forum from my Dad's computer, though.

[Mookie]

Since Nebraska just passed the concealed weapon law - I can now pack heat. Of course, I can't carry it anywhere. Just sit in my living room with my concealed weapons!

Will I have to check my beautiful nails at the door? `````

Since I have what Jim wants to bake [:I], I will take what Tree is having.

Plotting very carefully what to do about MC and the aspergus. Will think of it as my civic duty - to save Iowinians from Coloridians. (I'm already in the middle of this one!)

[:o)]

[cherokee woman]

Sorry about sleeping in this morning. Maybe someone needs to give me a "wake-
up" call.

Larry, your orange-flavored tea is coming right up. Along with the bear claws, we
have an assortment of doughnuts this morning. Don't worry, Jim, they're my
treat this morning.

I'll take a cup of orange flavored tea and a bearclaw (throw the bearclaw on the griddle for a moment - they're great warmed up). I've seen enough cats claws for one week.

Happy Easter Everyone. [:D]

Are you sure that you want that kind of BUNNY ????[:D][:p]
(now Hugh Hefner might like that kind..........)

Brian (Ia.) I think that it's safe to come out now.
(at least 'til tomorrow morning.)

[blhanel]

//carefully comes out from hiding back in the Men's Room

Is it safe yet?

OK, I think I'm finally getting the As-PAR-A-GUS joke...[D)]

It sure was a beautiful day here today, and supposed to be even better tomorrow- they're predicting record highs!

The only hard and fast rule I have ever made for the coffee shop was, "NO ALCOHOL."

Now am I going to have to make a second rule saying, "NO GUNS ! ? ! ? "

I certainly hope not. The ankle biting I can put up with. [:o)]

Brian [8D]

Now wasn't that a gross of chocolate cakes instead of just one? You know we in the restuarant business don't order just one cake, we order boxes of them. [:D] [:p] [;)]


Hey CW

Isn't it about time for some "Walk In Soup?" [}:)] [:D] [8D] I have not seen that on the menu in a while. You know we have to stay within budget !!!

I think I am going to go to bed early tonight. Today was trash day and I got up at 6:45 to make sure and get it out since I slept to about 8:30 the last 2 weeks and they came about 8. Today since I got it out nice and early they didn't come till almost noon. HOW do they manage to do that ??? [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] The recycle truck came just minutes after the tra***ruck and he usually comes about 2 hours after they do. Something is fishy here. [B)] [8]

Now, now, now, now...I have a plant in Powder River basin that can make all the chocolate cake and fudge thats needed. Glad all is forgiven! I'll have 2 burgers and fries then back to work!

[mudchicken]

([:D][:D][:D]) Nice to not be in vicinity of flying fur and claws for a brief while.

As short of power as CSX seems to be in my area - I could see it here, too! We've had Soo engines up here a couple of times.

Looks like I'll have to clean the hammock this time. I can't leave you children
alone, now, can I?!?! You always have to get into trouble playing with each other,
whenever I have to go run errands!! PLAY NICE, OR THERE WON'T BE ANY
DESSERTS after you eat your supper!!

Speaking of supper, since it's so nice outside today, I've got the grill heating up.
For your supper enjoyment, am grilling some hamburgers and hot dogs. With
them, you can have potato chips or fries. Supper will be served out on the patio.

//tries to sit next to sis/kitten on hammock, dumps everything. kitten runs off. will have to find her.
Not eating here today--big job ahead at home.

Yikes! OK, I'll settle for some fudge...

Hey, they're probably coming through Cedar Rapids![}:)]

What's one less cake out of a boxcar load for a traversing-the-state fee?[:D]

[Mookie]

All Right - all is forgiven. This is so much better than ankles any day! And I will even share the fudge with the diner. The chocolate cake, however will be "stored" away for a rainy day.

Ah - see some clouds coming my way!!!! (Driver sez I am so transparent! Wonder what he means!)

[CNW 6000]

Didn't mean to miff the cat...cuz I wasn't sure who that was! Apologies! On its way to you courtesy of a CNW powered UP train: 2 boxcars. One of chocolate cake and the other of fudge. Will that work?

[Mookie]

Desserts? [}:)] Yes!

Got a bowl of the soup - the noodles are spelling something.......can't quite make it out. Plus my spelling isn't all that good...... S-W-A-P T-O-H ?????? I think someone has been toying with my noodles!

P.S. cw if you need a bouncer or first aid/medic here at the diner I'm your man. Thats what I do for a living.

Well I am not sure about a bouncer but I cold definately use some security around here for late night and early mornings. The desserts seem to dissappear about that time frame every night. I know CW and Mutt are in bed at that time and I certainly don't eat them all. [;)] OK OK, maybe a few of them. [:o)] [;)] [:p]

Hmmmm,who was it that requested the "extra" key for the lock on
that particular "cooler" ????[:0][swg]
