I'm goin' out on the patio to have a smoke. Who's comin' with me?

[Heidi]

Oedi? SeattleGirl? enigmatic? C'mon!

:smoke:

[swag]

1. I would, but one puff and the next thing I know I'm two packs a day.

Have a nice pull.

[Heidi]

2. You can stand around and shoot the sh!t with us, though, can'tcha`?

Mornin', sunshine! :hug:

[swag]

6. Oh, hell to the yeah!

[MonkeyFunk]

3. I'm on my porch right now having one....

pass that ashtray over.

[Heidi]

5. Hell, I'll even gitcha a clean ashtray!

:hi: MonkeyFunk! How ya doin? :hug:

[Ptah]

4. I'm with you, Heidi

[Heidi]

8. Ptah!!!!

Nice to see you! :hug: :loveya:

Here's my poison:

[Ptah]

12. Good to see you, Heidi

Friday was our annual big holiday party, I spent
Saturday napping and recovering, so now I'm awake at 2:30 am.

[Heidi]

14. I know I'll totally sound like the Grinch,

but I'm sooooooooooo glad I didn't have to attend any company Christmas shindigs this year. :whew:

I'm glad you survived the party, Ptah! :loveya:

[Ptah]

15. Yeah, sure, just float above the misery

:hug:

[Heidi]

17. I'm not good in party situations

where I have to interact with a ton of people all at once. :scared:

[Ptah]

19. It was about twenty machinists and engineers.

We get along well at work, so a good time was had by all.
A couple of retirees were also there.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. O-tay!

:smoke:

[Heidi]

9. Hey, handsome!

It's a big patio. C'mon out! :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Sweet!

I'm celebrating, too -- finished the rough draft of my novel earlier tonight. :toast: :woohoo:

[Heidi]

11. Right on!

Congratulations!!!!! :woohoo: :bounce:

:yourock:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. Thanks!

:D

[fizzgig]

16. is it too late for me to join you?

i could use the break

:loveya:

[Heidi]

18. It's never too late for you, gf!

:hug: :loveya:

[fizzgig]

20. yay!

:bounce:

hope all is well in your part of the world :hug:

[taterguy]

21. I would but fouling the air is wrong wrong wrong

What the hell, I'll hop on a jumbo jet and be with you shortly

[Heidi]

22. You could bike here.

It'd be challenging, but I know you could do it. :P

Mornin', sunshine! :smoke:

[taterguy]

23. I've always wanted to ride a bike across the Atlantic Ocean

I guess the biggest challenge will be keeping my cigarettes dry

[Heidi]

24. People have been rumored to have walked on water,

so I see no reason why you couldn't bike and smoke on water. :thumbsup:

[taterguy]

27. Well I have been accused of being a saint

It's only about 3,000 miles to your place right?

Do you have any beer? I'll probably be thirsty by the time I finish the ride

[Heidi]

29. I don't know how far we are from your town, but we're 4516.7 miles from Charlotte, NC.

And there's beer in the cellar. :)

[taterguy]

31. And CallMeWesley doesn't have a problem with unannounced strangers showing up right?

[Heidi]

32. CMW would be highly upset

if you consumed all of the beer in the cellar. :P

[taterguy]

35. And he can kick my ass right?

Maybe I should stop at a convenience store on the way

[Heidi]

36. He's a pacifist,

so I think you're safe. ;)

[taterguy]

37. In that case his beer supply is not safe

But what guy doesn't want a fat drunken stupid stranger hanging out drinking his beer and smoking his cigarettes?

[Heidi]

38. Whole cultures have been built on that premise.

:rofl:

[taterguy]

39. I'm pretty sure I'm house trained

Do you guys have cable TV? Do they speak English over there? I don't want to learn a second language

What can I bring you from NC?

[Heidi]

42. We speak English in our home.

No, we don't have cable TV. Is that a deal breaker? :rofl:

What do I want from North Carolina? Pecan pie! :bounce:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. Great idea!

I think I have another joint around somewhere.

:hi:

[Heidi]

26. Bring your own snacks, though, m'kay?

:hi:

[Callalily]

28. I'm pass on the

smoke, but I'll bring breakfast for everyone!

[Heidi]

33. You're already a smokin'

lovely DU woman! :hug:

YUM! Those look like carmel pecan rolls! *yum*

[Callalily]

43. Oh yes, a sweet roll

and a cup of coffee, sitting here in my jammies on a Sunday morning - could life be any better!

Ah . . . and you are to be admired! :hug:

[Heidi]

46. It's 1:25 p.m. here and I've been up since 5 a.m.

(demanding cat, ya know), and I was thinkin' I might go take a shower and then just put on my flannel cat-print PJs and wear 'em for the rest of the day. Is 2 p.m. too early for PJs? :rofl:

:loveya:

[Callalily]

50. LOL, it's never

to early for flannel jammies. There are days when I come home from work, and, ummm . . . it's jammie time already.

Yes, I've seen pics of your cats. Beautiful. My dear cat passed away last year on December 22. I still have her cat dish out as a tribute and remembrance.

:hug:

[Heidi]

54. Oh, sweetie,

I'm sorry you lost your kitty. I'm gonna be a wreck when Ginger's time comes. I sort of hope he outlives me, but I also know that I'm the only person on earth who will boil fish for him at 5 a.m. or feed him slivers of rare deli roast beef (:puke:) straight from my hands. :pals:

:loveya:

[Callalily]

58. Oh, thank you!

Yes, she was on sweet cat. But she lived a long and happy life. I came home from work one day and she was curled up on the floor as if she was sleeping, but I knew that she wasn't. I am thankful that I didn't have to make that awful decision. She just passed peacefully in her sleep.

I know what you mean about specialty treats. My cat loved salmon and tuna, but hated lobster and shrimp.

[Guava Jelly]

30. I'll be there

I'll bring the visine and pizza :D

[Heidi]

34. Now, _you're_ the kinda guest we like to have!

Mornin', sunshine!

:loveya:

:hug:

[Guava Jelly]

40. Mornin to you

I hope the Beautiful Heidi, Handsome Call Me Wesley as well as the stoic and noble Ginger are having the most glorious of days .
:loveya:

[Heidi]

51. It's a beautiful day here,

but it's shapin' up to be a weird Christmas: no snow, temp is 40° F., and our goddaughters are now too grown up (13 and 15) for kiddie Christmas. It just feels strange. Ah, well. Things change, don't they? :hug: :loveya:

[boobooday]

41. Bringing my coffee

:smoke:

[Heidi]

44. Hi, boobooday!

You don't have to bring the coffee; I just made a pot of coffee for Call Me Wesley and there's still plenty. Or, if you prefer something else, here's what else we have at Casa Heidi: orange juice, milk, iced coffee (pre-made, not fresh), Earl Grey, camomille, green tea, white tea; Coke; San Pellegrino (frizzante), white wine, red wine and beer. :bounce:

[taterguy]

45. Your beer supply is already spoken for

Don't you read your own thread?

[Heidi]

47. You're gonna drink _all_ of it?????

Gaw, we'll have to roll you home! :rofl:

[taterguy]

48. I ain't leaving

There's beer, smokes and mountains there right?

[Heidi]

49. Ya know, I went to a lot of trouble just now to find this song

so that I could dedicate it to you, taterguy. Enjoy! :toast:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9078770454121967290&q=Are+You+Drinkin+With+Me+Jesus&total=59&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0">Are You Drinkin' With Me, Jesus
I saw you sittin' there
I was tryin' not to stare
I wasn't sure if it was you
I didn't know just what to do

CHORUS
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear
Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
Would you buy a friend a beer

As I nestled on my barstool
I felt your warmness within
I looked down at my pants
That wasn't warmness
I wet myself again

CHORUS

Does your head pound, Jesus
As hung over you do rise
How does paradise look, Jesus
Through holy bloodshot eyes

Should we take a cab home Jesus
Man, we can hoof it from here
I know you can walk on the water
But can you walk on this much beer

Are you drinkin' with me Jesus
I can't see you very clear

[taterguy]

52. I love Mojo and Jello

Saw Mojo live a few times and got to see the Dead Kennedys once

Thanks bunches

I just wet myself
Is that TMI?

[Heidi]

55. You wet yourself

AGAIN, dontcha mean? :rofl: :spray:

Heidi <---- AVID Mojo Nixon fan!

[taterguy]

57. Don't go swimming here

Whenever I canoe there and nature calls I just get out of the canoe and well . . .

[boobooday]

53. I'll have one of each, please

If it's no trouble.

:hi:

[Heidi]

56. Comin' right up!

:rofl: :spray:

[Mutley]

59. I quit again.

But I'll come get some second-hand smoke. Seriously. If I couldn't get my fix second-hand, this quitting thing would have worked for about three hours. :P

:banghead: Why :banghead: do I :banghead: keep doing this :banghead: to myself? :banghead:
