Shoot the Breeze With the Cooler Crew - Ableminds Edition

I'll bring you a button tomorrow Tim.

I hated going to the node center... That is where the officers sat and played playstation2 and x-box... I didn't want to bother them when they had such important work to do.

 I had to work fast though... Know how short-tempered someone can get when they have to stop playing games to switch their generators over??? C'mon.. what was I thinking, asking them to work??? :pbpt:

Man, I love Friday nights! Hockey on the boob tube all over the place.

Hey... PDG is 7 pm tomorrow??? (Or am I thinking of the Lawrence Welk Marathon???)

Hockey rocks

Most fun sport there is to watch. Living in Wisconsin I get to see the Badgers play too.

Zephy - no Lawrence Welk Marathon that I know of...but the 8th annual Pre-Dig Gig is at 7 tomorrow evening at Patrick McGoverns - upstairs this year.

Well, I guess I will have to settle for that then...

And I was all in a polka mood too. I had my fancy duds on and was ready to dance... :frown:

My wife can't wait until tomorrow night. Only one daughter can go, the other 2 have to work.

I've been given some bad news. My foster son was in a snowmobile accident on Lake MilleLacs, and has broken his back. He's scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon. I should be there for him, so the PDG is on the back burner. He's an adult now, but we still consider him one of ours. Damn kids- when will they realise they are breakable? Huh. Probably now. :frown:

Damn! That sucks! Yes you should be there for him. Sorry to hear that. We'll miss you!

that don't sound good hope the best

sorry KT :frown: go take care of your boy.

I may still make it- depending on how things go.

hope all is well KT my prayers are with you

I hope everything turns out ok... Best wishes to you and him

:frown:

best wishes to you and your son kt

You are in my thoughts K T

Oh crap KT, thoughts are with you and the kid.

Hugs KT!

Best wishes to you and the boy tomorrow KT.

Everyone, have a great time at the PD, sorry I can't be there, but come Sunday I will be out every night....

KT, I hope everything goes well for your son. Is he having surgery in the cities? I suppose they'll have to fuse some vertebrae...plates, screws, and whatnot. Back surgery has come a long way since we were young so I'm hopeful that everything will go just fine tomorrow...it sux all the same, though. My thoughts are with you and him..

We will miss you tomorrow night...I hope you're not missing the PDG for poker :pbpt:

...I'm sure you're not... :chagrin:

KT - Hope everything works out okay for your boy.

Inks broke his back when he was 18 in a farm accident. They managed to fix him up and that was a long time ago.

We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

I feel I need to make it clear that he's my Foster son, not a son from my own loins.heh. He's all growed up now, but has never had an easy life. Things were just starting to settle down in his insane life, and he decides to play Mario Andretti on a snowmobile- on a lake full of pressure ridges. Today I'm more frustrated than worried.

Thank you, everyone, for your support& prayers.

Yes, you did say he was your foster son, KT, but it all feels the same if something happens to them...whether worry or frustration, no?Anyway, I hope you can make it to the pre-dig...if everything goes OK today

KT - We, too, have had foster children. The worry is the same. Love of our children doesn't depend on where or how they become yours.

Best of all luck and wishes today...and hope to see you tonight.

the day for what?

you can't talk about scribe like that.

I love grilling food....

Its never too cold for that..

we had hot dogs on the grill last night at like midnight or so...

the thing I've noticed too... is that no matter what time it is, if you have food, outside on the grill, your neighbors all of a sudden pop up from out of nowhere and go "Gee!! Something sure smells good over there!!! What are you making?!?!?"

Green in the hizz-ouse!

I put "green" on the list to be able to read the cooler at least...

but we need to wait until "sysop" grants her posting rights...

so she can't get the message i sent her

she can get egrams...

(I think)

Green!!!!!

fwiw...I don't know "toomuch" ...won't give that person a free ride....

I hope "sysop" gets on that one.... :chagrin:

Good luck with your day Kitch! Enjoy your family and have fun with the party.

We'll see ya when ya get there

Sorry to hear of your faster childs accident KT. I hope that all will go well for him over the next few months.

You won't believe this but one of my many spies has come out with the 1st clue all ready and here it is.

" Treasure hunters swarming amidst globel warming make it hard to park our loot. Look for snow and ice enough to suffice to shorten you Winter pursuit."

Actually, my nephew Tim said it was in an early edition of the paper and it got in by mistake.

I'M HERE! Sysop dun me up and let me in!!!

I'VE GOT SPARKLIES!!!!!!!!!!!

Hay, Wolfpac!!! So good to see ya! How's Paula and the grandbaby?

Hi Green, Paula and Connor are doing great. She all ready has him working out with a shovel.

He is the most mellow little fellow, I should be the clue writer, you've ever seen. She has to work tonight so she won't be at the PDG.

Bummer. Her not being able to come tonite. Not Connor being mellow. :grin:

Paula says Hi and she'll be looking for you in the parks. All you'll have to look for is the shortest little hunter and you'll have found Connor.

You there Paula?
