LMAO - Thanks, peachy, for keeping the Cafe open while I was at a meeting - you have a lunch date i see! Smiles

 

[oil_paint03]

Just thought I would pop in and see how the crowd was doing.

So, since we are all children of the 50s... what was the top songs when you were born...

Rock Around the Clock was on the charts when I was born in 55. Kind of cool to think that Rock and Roll was born when I was... lol COOL!http://www.youthblog.org/joe%20cool.jpg

TECHnically, I'm a just shy of 50...and I'd have to look up what was hot when i was born. I remember listening to the Mama and the Papas, Johnny Cash, and Herb Albert growing up - lol

 

[peachydreams]

You mean we have to find somebody "nice" to bring along?

Unless you can be good .....just during lunch.....save bad for later.....

I have very good table manners and I'm starved! But I have a feeling I'll still be hungry after lunch. Sound good? What do you want for your lunch?

Good Morning Ms. Peachy! Should be nice here in the Mitten state as well! Enjoy....MMMMMmmmmm... Good coffee!!!

 

[deecee53]

Mornin' guys & gals..... Yep, the coffee was good, especially the second pot. The first one ended up in a broken pot in the sink...

 

[bisolom]

Mornin' y'all Where's the coffee?

 

[erostorm]

Morning all. Coffee to go, as usual.

Looking like a stormy few days here in the Sunshine State. That storm system down south looks eerily like a really disorganized hurricane. Hmmmm. Too early for THAT silliness. Oh well. Have a great Tuesday all......


1957. Elivs Presley, Buddy Holly, and a Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On!

Oh, and we learned that space was a good place for a race.

Morning Peachy. I had a good time yesterday. Or was that a "bad" time?

 

[DoRaMe]

Morning all! Beautiful day in Chi town. 77...I am taking the top down...on the car that is...

1 coffee, cream and sugar please! I need it.

Thanks, have a great day everyone.

Rae

 

[mwmnpa]

Hello all. Looks like coffee's the order of the morning. Finishing up cup # 2.

Looks to be a beautiful day here in the Philly 'burbs. And , should be nice this weekend.

Anyone have any special plans? Going to a cookout with my brother's family one day, and going to throw some ribs on the smoker come Monday. In and around all that, lots of beer.

oooooh.....I am so much better when I'm bad!

 

[DoRaMe]

I bet no one would complain if you took both tops down. (You might cause a few pile-ups, though...)

Only the top on the car is coming down. I only do private veiwings for 1 now.....

 

[MrMikelobe1952]

That seems awfully selfish of you.

 

[bisolom]

That seems awfully selfish of you.

Funny...I don't think so.



Peace

 

[MrMikelobe1952]

Are you the lucky guy?
Hope you don't mind me saying that I'm just a tad jealous.
Rae seems very sweet, fun and exciting.

 

[bisolom]

Yes. I'm the lucky guy who enjoys the "top down" ride.
Yes...she's pretty amazing. I don't blame you for noticing. Thanks for the "props."
I know she thinks you're a real nice guy too.
I hope you'll be lucky enough to find someone special in your life.
Good luck, and thanks.

 

[oil_paint03]

Good morning, peeps - coffee is ready: Good morning blend; Kona for your spoiled kids; and a Brazilian free-trade dark roast for the "greens" who are burning both ends.

Oh, and tea - featuring Irish Breakfast and a blend of mate', black tea, apple and cinnamon.

whew - I'm tired - heading back to bed

 

[peachydreams]

Work will be over in an hour......ready for the real "hump day" to start!
