Yum, sounds good. All my best laid plans have crashed. My boss's son-in-law died suddenly in a tragic accident on Friday, his funeral is today, so I will be pulling doubles all week and not getting off work until after 10 at night.

I'm begging or borrowing a lap top so I can keep up with events on FR.

Call girlfriend and ask if shes naked.

OK. What's your girlfriend's number?

[JoeSixPack1]

:-) Thank you for the inquiry. :-)

She had to stop at omar's for a new dress and Al's Army and Navy for some new shoes, but would like to meet you at her Godzillia look-alike club when your available!

PS. bring viagra and bandages.

If you go the coffee route, make sure you have some real food on hand (chocolate doesn't count) and remember to eat some occasionally. If bad news breaks and the only thing on your stomach is a gallon of coffee, you'll be in great danger of puking your guts out. Trust me on this one.

Coffee and cigarettes are what our soldiers and sailors lived on during WW2... However, at least one ounce of solid food per hour is recommended. Starchy and/or alkaline foods are preferred, so as to sorb up coffee and stomach acids.

I have to be at my salaried job Tuesday, so afterwards I'm going to the pub. Republican wins are best savored with Guinness...

Viagra?

You been talking to Madame DuFarge behind my back?

What is fifteen bean soup?

[Inspectorette]

Wow - I'm sorry to hear that. It really makes you stop and think how fragile and precious life is.

[Inspectorette]

It's a 20-ounce bag of various dried beans, and comes with a flavor packet. You can find it with split peas and lentils.

It's really easy - you just soak the beans overnight, then drain the water out and put fresh water in. Add chopped onion, carrot and celery, and bouillon cubes to taste. Throw in a ham hock, or if you're watching fat content, cut up some turkey sausage and throw it in. Turn the pot on, and head out the door.

When you come walk in the door after work, you're greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of the cooked soup.

Soup with 1/2000 of a bean for each of us?

[McLynnan]

Make yourself some toast and pretend it's an early, early breakfast. Then you can have some chocolate.

Okay, that's my normal routine anyway, lol.

[Slip18]

That was great, math! Thanks for bringing it in.

[cajungirl]

Hmmmm! Sounds good. In Louisiana speak that means "you are going to have me over to sample it, aren't you?",,Now you have to offer dinner for me three times each of which I say "Oh No, I couldn't impose",,then on the fourth time, I say "Okay, if you insist",,,those are the Louisiana Rules.

Just kidding...I'm getting married this Saturday.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

OK. What's your girlfriend's number?

Woops, I posted my reply 178 before reading the whole thread. Talk about great minds thinking alike...this time it was word for word!

[metesky]

Great minds? Speak for yourself!

I'm just your run-of-the-mill dirty old man trolling for phone numbers.

LOL!

Getting married on Saturday, eh? It's not too late, you know.

Seriously, if it's done right, you'll love it. Just learn how to say, "Yes, Dear" and everything will be jake.

I've been married for thirty-five years to the same wonderful woman, who is also a Freeper, (who is sitting right next to me now. Shh!)
