Mmm..... doughnuts :) Thanks Kitten for the yummy doughnuts and tea!

I brought Champagne so we can celebrate American Pharoah who just won the Triple Crown after a 37 year lull. YAY!!

hey there, anyone around? am still in a daze and have seen no evidence to justify my survival of the crash. it feels really weird.

hope all is well with you guys.

Irish, it is so nice to see you. I am going through a rough patch today and think it'd be good to lounge around here with some pia coladas or something.

I haven't stopped by the lounge in a little while. I hope all is well with everyone. Sensitive, I'm with you. I'm also going through a rough patch and I could use a drink. Anybody else up for a cocktail and some good company?

I AM! I could use a fine glass of chardonnay. Rough patch here, too.

So nice to see you spacekat! Sorry to hear about the rough patch. Chardonnay sounds good, I think I will have a beer.or two.

Well I did take a walk to the Home Depot to buy stuff for work. Sometimes it's fun to look but other times it depresses me because I'll never be a home owner and will always live in crappy apartments.

Tell me to snap out of this depression! Please! I'll have some Chardonnay Spacekat. I brought stinky cheeses and baguettes too. Camembert, Brie, port salut, Gouda, and a bunch of other ones I can't pronounce.

Oh Pagan & Sensitive! It's wonderful to be around good company! I'll bring a case of chardonnay - the cheeses sound delicious (I love stinky cheese!). Just gotta drag myself up -- cleaned house and now for a reward.

Sensitive, I have to warn you: Keep the gouda away from me or it will disappear. I've been known to eat mass quantities (from the "Coneheads") of gouda - SMOKED gouda - YUM!

Wait a sec: We can have an endless supply! Bring on the gouda!

Sounds Gouda to me Spacekat!!

Sensitive, I feel the same way as you, I will never be a homeowner too. I wish we could both snap out of our depressions. Oh well. Those stinky cheeses sound wonderful! Thanks so much for bringing them. How about some goose liver pate to go along with it or is that too weird? Either way I'm happy to be hanging out with such good people.

Yummmmm I loooove pate. I am a foie gras junkie. Sorry, morrissey and all the other vegetarians out there. My Oncle Marcel in France used to make all kinds of ptes and one time I even flew home with three jars of his homemade masterpieces and customs did not confiscate them. The Oscar Meyer braunschweiger will never be as good as that pate.

Fantastic! I am a fan of pate of all kinds. Its pretty cool finding someone else who likes it as well. Goes great with a nice glass of wine, just a suggestion.

I'll have the cheeses with some cracked black pepper crackers and tomatoes , hold the pate! good to see you all again.
any plans for the weekend.?
I have to go soon and pick up tj's friend joe from the train then go to the nursing home and get a taxi to a restaurant in town and have dinner at about 6.pm which is very early for me but tj usually eats at about 5.00pm in the home so it will be late enough for him. I hope it all goes well. I find the meals out quite difficult but will get through it and maybe have room for a nice dessert!!! Joe is staying with me tonight and i have to drive him back to the train tomorrow, (A two hour round trip). then i can relax again. yay!
