Yeah, Joe, I heard on the news last night that the new postage rate goes
into effect l/8/2006, but I'm like you: I thought it was 1/1/2006! Think I'll
make a call to my local Post Office, and make sure about that date!!

I an certain the postage rate will go up1/8. Check twice because we have a large mailing for our business that will go before the increase.

Saw something on the news the other day,about the postal rate increase.
I believe they were calling it: "The Revenge of the Two Cent Stamp,the oft
printed,but seldom used item that not many people know about"!![:0][:-,]

Getting all the pizzas ready for tonight's Saturday night pizza fest.

Also have a chocolate cake decorated for Ed's birthday; we'll have that,
and then at Midnight, we'll have some Welch's Sparkling White grape
juice to toast in the New Year. How's that sound to everyone?

Okay, everyone: the pizzas are now ready![C=:-)]

The birthday cake will be served a little later, whenever
the birthday man shows up. If he doesn't, I'll start
serving the cake around 8, 8:30.

Willy,
I'm sure that the "brunch" menu will include the necessary items required for
those "unfortunates" that "over-extended themselves celebrating.
(can't imagine anyone doing something like that,even at a younger age....Hmmmm)

Hope you guys have a great "gig" tonight,and yes;please;EVERYONE STAY SAFE & SOBER
If you can't stay sober,please either stay where you are,or have a sober person take you home. DO NOT DRIVE IMPAIRED !! The "Diner" provides many things,but one of them is NOT bail money for impaired persons that have been taken into custody;
when they should not have.[B)]

Who knows ? I might even get wild and have a beer tonight..........at home !![:)]

Carl, I think Union Pacific should of kept their corperate offices over here, in the great state of Pennsylvania, that would of brought back some rail life back into all the hills and valleys over here in Penn's Woods . I was very and I mean very surprised to learn this information, out of all the times I've been over to Bethlehem, I never knew that information!

CW I think I'm going to need extra chesse on the pizza tonight!!!

Everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Sarah, got you covered on the extra cheese on your pizza.

Willy, I'll make sure that at every table in the morning, is some
Alka Seltzer.

I know it's an hour to go (at least on EST, but:

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone

I've got the Welch's Sparkling Grape juice chilled, and have glasses
out on the counter, ready for the countdown.

Joe, thank you for putting on the coffee, and making the juice! Also,
thank you for the delicious cinnamon rolls!!

Mutt and I actually stayed up, and I finally went to sleep about
12:30, and slept until 9:30 this morning.

Hope everyone had a very nice evening, and also everyone here on
the forums stayed sober!! I want to see everyone back here in one
piece!!

For Sunday Dinner ( which will be ready really later on this afternoon,
will be Chicken & Dumplings. Was going to have the traditional meal
of cornbeef and cabbage, and black eyed peas, but couldn't find any
corned beef at the store: they were SOLD OUT, would you
believe? That meal has never brought us much luck and money; so,
I've decided to start a new New Year's tradition with chicken & dumplings.
It should be ready around 5 p.m., CST, 6 p.m. EST.

Again, want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!

I got to sleep about 12:30, up again at 4, to the airport by 5:20, home before 6, in bed by 6:05, and up again at 11:15. Finally got down here, and now it's nearly time to get ready for work. I think I'll take some leftover pizza with me for lunch.

Kids have landed back in California.

The Bug is showing that it's 40 degrees out. I should check the weather report for tonight. Might do something drastic! Nope, too late for that already. Oh, well--happy new year, everyone!

CW I really do hope those Chicken and Dumplings are going to be done soon!!!!! Because, I'm really looking forward to that, I think you know why. lol

railfan619, I believe you and I are in the same boat for going back to work tomorrow. I have to go back, and I really don't feel like going, but I do feel like getting paid.

I also start kick boxing tomorrow at 7:30 EST at my gym. This should be interesting, on top of that I have to do my normal weight training after kick boxing so, you'll bet I'll be wiped. Oh I forgot the gym will most likely be packed with what I like to call the "New Years Resilution People", they only stay for the month of Jan then they leave.

The chicken and dumplings are ready to eat. They're on the warmer bar,
so everyone can help themselves.

Our temp, when I woke up at 9:30 this morning, was in the low 30s. It's
now 58 degrees F. here. This is my kind of weather![:D]
