Yup. You must be starving that cold, cause it looks thinner too.
Hi, Fishy!! Yeah, I've been feeding my fever, though. I'm snuggled down all warm and toasty in the deepest part of the pants I can get to. As a matter of fact, I'm so far down, I can almost touch the sock...

*fishy left speechless by gasping for oxygen*

Woodrow. Does the term "TMI" mean anything to you?

Tisha
I just commented in a political thread. Give me something that'll put me in a coma for a week so I don't have to deal with the fallout.

Quickly!

got a call from my mom. My last grandparent just passed away. I thought 'fuck thread?' naw, I feel more comfortable with something like this in the bar. Please take no offense Lydia.

any drink suggestions?

my condolences, stuart

i suggest a single malt scotch, and pour a second for the dearly departed.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:03 pm

No, something stronger than Mead. Everclear or a kick from a horse. I went back to that thread and said more. Deep, Deep DooDoo.

Stuart, my thoughts to you..

Sorry to hear of your loss, Stuart. A little bit of those folks lives on in you.

Hey there Tisha! I could use a Black and Tan.

Nice tunes.

Stuart, sorry to hear of your loss....I hope the family is doing well in these tough times...I'm sure they left this place proud of the legacy left in you and yours.

Thank you. I love being able to share the music. Sometime in the near future I will actually hook up the turntables to the computer and mix a set that way.

and, yes, props to the Sand-man for the music...

although i missed that last one - was in a meeting - might have to play it again later when i can listen...

'nother *smooch* for Stuart.

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:04 pm

Thank you all for your thoughts

In honor of my Grandma, who died just before her 90th

I will have what she would have had

12 ounce glass of straight vodka and a carton of pall mall filterless

Funny thing is, all I remember about her growing up was that I was constantly told she would not be with us for very long. Over three decades ago she had already had every garden variety of cancer known to man, weighed about 90lbs, smoked 3 packs a day and started her day off with the above libation. 30 years later the woman had escaped from several assisted living situations cuz they would not let her have her vices. Fiesty she was as well as a total pain in the ass.
I very much believe that longevity is an inherited trait. My mom was adopted so, unfortunately, I am not the happy recipient of those major ass kicking genes.

Wherever you are, I sure hope they let you smoke and drink to your hearts content. There will be hell to pay otherwise.

Thanks Tisha.

Stuart, your Gramma sounds like a hell of a woman. No wonder she lived 30 years longer than she expected.

12 oz of vodka is probably better for you then 16oz of coffee.

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:11 pm

Stuart... sounds like I'm part of that gene pool... My grandfather was the same way. Had a stroke on his 89th birthday, surrounded by his family. Headed of into the mysic mountains ten days later. He's probably still up there, hunting and fishing and hiking to his hearts content.

In honor of your grandmother, and my determined Scots grandfather... Glenmorange for my friend... and since it is virtual... one for me, too...

Slange!!

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:24 pm

slange!!

may the same recipe work as well for me!! damn - sounds like my kinda lady. the kind i want to be when i grow up.

brought tears to me eyes, stu. i miss whisky and cigarettes with my gram - 10 years gone now.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 2:25 pm

Okay, now you are getting me sentimental. I miss whisky and cigs too, but not with my gram ... with my brother-in-law. He was my best friend when I was living abroad. I was from the mid-atlantic and he was from Florida. We decided to go back to the US and have the ultimate summer vacation. We started at Ocean City, Maryland and went all the way down the coast hitting every beach till Satellite Beach in Fla. Man ... what a trip THAT was. My sister graduated college the weekend we were to start out and she said that instead of renting a car, we could just use hers if we took her along ... so we did! Stopped at the mall, bought a rubber chicken, stuck it on the antenna of that 72 Duster and off we went. By the time we got to Virginia Beach, my best friend and my sister were lovers. By the time we got to Jacksonville, they were engaged. In some respects I was hating life on that trip, being the third wheel ... but he and I spent many a night with a bottle of Jameson's, a couple of packs of smokes and a case of beer solving the world's problems.

Here it is about 20 years later, they are still married but they live on the East coast and I live on the West and haven't seen him for more than a day in years. I miss that jackass.

Next round is on me!

I just got the call for a 3rd interview for a great job. Lots of overtime but sweet benefits and non-salary which means all the overtime is paid.

Yeah, I'll drink to that... we may be getting the same thing over here on the river (the beautiful, grey, Willamette)... after years of running our dept with temps, they are going to change to perms.

I don't know how I'd look with a perm...

Slange!!!

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:00 pm

Slange!!! Congratulations boys!!!! (you'd look fabulous, Sam!!)
Good news and sad news... ahh, life, eh? the beauty of it.

but I do like all this toasting! Anybody else got anything to drink to??

Here's to: grandmas, and best friends, and whiskey & cigs, and best friends, and new jobs, and promotions, and....sunshine!! and almost-off-work, and great co-workers, and......

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:04 pm

May I suggest:

The perfect e-playa whisky - the smoke is built right in.
