You are both correct - I commented that the rest of us had moved on but s/h/it had not read far enough ahead in the thread to see that - just jumped right back into where the thread had left of when having left.

I don't understand folks that can't understand they are in a place where they are not welcome!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Darnnit Gabz, darling, now she/he/it will be back to respond to these.

Some people have to have the last word.

[tpaine]

You got it kid.
So shut up, like you said you would.

[humblegunner]

It was lively, as it ever is when we get together, we had good food, good conversation, and if I am not mistaken, we scared the heck out of the waitstaff!

I loved the speech, and I'm really sorry about that poor waiter guy.
I just know they have insurance.. but never get between me and a raw steak.

[Gabz]

You're lucky!

Hubby is away this week and bar and restaurant in his hotel are non-smoking. He's very resourceful - he's found a locals bar within a block or two and the folks there have led him to the best chinese and italian take-out places in the area.

As soon as I've got sond capabilities on a computer I will seek out the files from you or COB1

[Admin Moderator]

Do not post again to this thread.

[RikaStrom]

LOL, that steak was so rare it tried to get off your plate and go eat Petroni's steak!

[Gabz]

Darnnit Gabz, darling, now she/he/it will be back to respond to these.

Darnnit Dubya, sweets, you've got the name wrong - it's s/h/it - it's never spelled out completely!!!!

[Gabz]

There is nothing HUMBLE about you gunner!!!!!

So glad you all had a good time.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Why stop at just the thread?

[NeoCaveman]

Darnnit Dubya, sweets, you've got the name wrong - it's s/h/it - it's never spelled out completely!!!!

Ahh I see. I've always spelled it out, but then read it fast for the same effect :-)

[NeoCaveman]

Why stop at just the thread?

Beacuse s/h/it has been around since 1998. (sigh)

[SCalGal]

Looks like I've missed most of the fun.

That's what I get for going out for a manicure and for cooking dinner. Fried chicken, anyone?

[LurkerNoMore!]

Was it buffalo?

[Gabz]

The first time I did that was on a board that included a few really vicious anti-smokers.

No one could accuse me of using a vulgarity because I was just being non-discriminatory in my identification of gender.

My contribution to internet shorthand - LOL!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Fried chicken, anyone?

Mmmmmmm fried chicken, goes great with beer.

[Gabz]

Fried Chicken?? HERE HERE - Oh Please.

[Gabz]

Speaking of beer, mine's empty - better go get another!!!!

Actually I shouldn't and I should go to sleep.

Beer/sleep...sleep/beer....Beer/sleep????????/

The questions that confront us in this day and age.
