Thank you, that was excellent. I really do wonder about the psychic bond we have with our pets.

It seems like even when Nick does their random shuffles, we almost never get to to see the NYE episode where Monica, Joey, Janine and Ross are on Dick Clark's show.

Emotional vampires are the worst!

Looks like she picked you! Seriously, she's gorgeous!

I think he made pulled pork sandwiches.

Lol, my son got a whole pork shoulder. Same type of deal. I think it weighed around three lbs. He was thrilled.

Funny story. Our mailbox used to be about two blocks down the road from us. One day a mail carrier brought a package to the house and remarked on the distance. I agreed. She said "Listen if you have a box or something, I'll just bring to your house." I have a small Igloo cooler so we decided that would work. I put the cooler on our front porch. For a couple of years that's what we did until our renters next door wanted a mailbox closer to their house so my husband cemented in two mailboxes on a nice stand at the end of our driveway and that was the end of that chapter. Weird, huh?

This seems to be the state of affairs these days.

Oh, these are women? I was picturing old dudes. Maybe they can play canasta?

You never know, they might just get all hopped up on all that caffeine and go on a rampage at the Early Bird special!

I'm sorry you're not sleeping. That is such a hardship, my DIL suffers from insomnia and it makes life harder than it should be.

Well, it does have a partial view of the lake but so does my son's apartment. But his is a one bedroom, one bath and it's 2K a month.

Seattle is no better. The condo next door to my son is going for 5K a month. 2 beds, bath and a half, no pets.

Seattle gets brushed with the same dirty brush. I swear there are people who think Seattle and Portland are on fire all the time. It's so ridiculous.

Maybe they're in gangs! These old lady gangsters have been trying to take over our peaceful sidewalks and tea shops!

Lol, I guess I don't spend enough time hanging around coffee joints. My name is peacheslatour and I'm a tea-a-holic.

Mama was right. Nothing good happens after midnight.

To me, loud means angry.

The hassle part comes with as Blue Skies says "crowding around, and talking loudly". That would make me uncomfortable and what if you happen to say something they don't like? I worked in a restaurant in high school and we had the same old guys who would come in every day as soon as we opened and sit at the bar all day long. They never said one word to anyone but they drank all day. We made money off of them. I'd rather have them in my shop than the angry coffee drinkers.

You'd think that if the franchisee had any business sense, they would sternly discourage any kind of behavior that could make customers feel uncomfortable or hassled. I know I would kick their asses out. No loss of their measly one donut and coffee.

I hope they're making money of some kind because when hubby decides she's reached her expiration date, usually some time before hitting 30 and kicks her to the curb to marry someone younger and more subservient, she better have something to fall back on.

I like eggs but the Arby's commercials with globs of meat turn my stomach.

They could always jam a pillow case down on their heads.

I never could get the whole "My wedding is the pinnacle of my life and has to be perfect in every tiny detail" deal. Shit, it's ONE day out of the thousands of days you will live. When we got married, I was much more interested in the marriage rather than the wedding.

I have friends in Conn. and they are saying it was pretty strong there too.
