Why, yes, GE. Somebody else will probably want that whipped cream. Thanks.

My, but don't you look ravishing today.

*scootching closer to giggles* Here, dear... sip away... they're exceptionally amazing today... must be because Tish is making them...

and, thank you, BHA... I don't FEEL very ravishing, but I appreciate you thinking so...

I'm cold as hell, actually. I think the heat in my store is broken. The thermostat is set at 73, but it won't get any warmer than 64 in here...

brrr....

here, Giggles. Hold this a minute...

*slipping off bench, grabbing edge of neverending blanket, hopping back up, and pulling blanket around herself and giggles*

There. Better...

*snuggling in* Yep. Heaven...

BHA... wanna come join us? There's room for one more, I'd wager...

Editing. If your copy wasn't so clean, I'd have to decline. But I've seen your work and it is good, GE.

Why did I have a feeling that you'd show up and say something along those lines, Stuart? Do I misread?

i hear you. i've been cold for months, saved only by the delay in getting proper lighting, because the task lamp doubled as a heat lamp. it was so cold up here today that we called maintenance again. after a few hours of poking (in the ceiling, that is) about they discovered that none of the local heating coils are working. It could be a week before they're fixed. if i was anyone else in this crew i could bring a lap blanket and slippers, but my position doesn't exactly permit it.

guess what? the maintenance guy wanted me to entertain him, too. gooo figger.

glad you're happily buzzy, GS. *smooch*

Could I get a merlot... please? Stomach issues, and red wine seems to help...

... or is that a white whine?...

First of all, the Olsen twin photo cracked me up... people were staring at me... how to explain...

But the Beringer smoothed me out... thanks, Stuie... I do appreciate it...

you can have them. they didn't fix mine, and i prefer to hang with you all instead of making bored people happy.

one of our engineers just came up to ask what adventures i have planned.


i told him they were secret: 'stealth adventures'

Ransom E. Olds (of Oldsmobile fame) invented the power lawnmower in 1915. Charcoal briquets were invented by Henry Ford to use up scap wood left over from the manufacture of the Model T. The second highest amount of invention patents were granted to Edwin Land, inventor of the Poloroid camera.
