45 to go before I get 5000 - can I do it today?

[tjwmason]

Oh, and feel free to ask my anything.

[MissHoneychurch]

1. what a stupid question

how is work today?

[tjwmason]

2. Work has yet to start.......

I've been in here since a dash after 8 (it's nearly 11 now), but have done practically nothing. It's one of those days.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. sounds familiar

so what are your plans for the rest of the day (beside not working).

[tjwmason]

4. The reason that I got in early

was so that I can leave early to catch (D.v.) the end of the cricket.

Other than that - just hanging around on D.U. chatting with these most charming, beautiful and otherwise wonderful folk (such as yourself).

Do you have any good plans?

[MissHoneychurch]

5. not really

gonna work a bit longer today, since I showed up only at 9pm (normally I show up at 8am).

[tjwmason]

6. You arrived at 9 p.m. - that really is bad.

13 hours late for work. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

8. oopps ....

I ment 9am of course. You see I am not awake myself. That is why I am going to take my lunch break now. See you in a little while.

[tjwmason]

10. Have a good lunch

Do you have anything interesting? :hi:

Obviously I knew that you meant 9 a.m. - but I couldn't resist the joke. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. just got back

got me a Foccacia with pepperoni, cheese, tomatoes and rucola :9

[tjwmason]

12. That sounds gorgeous

The rocket (as rucola is called in England) would give a wonderfully peppery kick to go with the pepperoni.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. and with the tomatoes

I love rocket.

and it is very yummy. I try to eat it without smearing too much

[tjwmason]

16. You have to smear it a bit.

Food like that can't be eaten in a totally calm detached manner. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

19. ok, I am back

had to stop posting while eating my lunch. I managed to eat it without smearing too much stuff on my keyboard.
So what will you have for lunch?

[tjwmason]

22. As always - I have a large salad.

Plus some chevre goats cheese to have an a couple of bagels. With fresh orange and coffee on the side.

I like to take something that's good and healthy (a salad) and then add in something to ruin the goodness of it. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. chevre goat cheese is yummy

I like goat cheese. Did you ever try it warm with a salad? I tell ya - to die for.

[tjwmason]

26. Yes - quickly fry it on both sides

Part of it browned, then most of it runny just held in place by the edge.

I'm practically drooling over my work right now.

[MissHoneychurch]

28. yep

you had it before. Just thinking of it makes me yearn for it too.

[tjwmason]

29. Me too.

With some very crispy fried bacon over the salad as well. :9

[MissHoneychurch]

31. nah

as much as I love bacon it doesn't go with goat cheese. Both are too strong and will kill the other taste. Either salad with crispy bacon OR salad with warm goat cheese.

[Clintmax]

7. *YAAWWNN* Morning, TJ.

I wish I could do nothing at work. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

9. I occasionally push the paper round the desk

plus if I'm on D.U. then I'm typing quite a bit - so it looks like I'm working.

Very very wicked of me, I know. :spank:

Plus - good morning again :hug:

[Heidi]

14. Go, tjwmason!

(This encouragement brought to you by the Khashka Fan Club's Synchronized WooHoo Olympic Team!)

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

15. Thank you Heidi - a definite real encouragement.

but I'm still shocked that he imputed nefarious intentions to us.

[Heidi]

17. Yes, I'm still reeling from the mere suggestion

that our intentions might be something other than honorable. Trotsky as my witness, I adore khashka.

[tjwmason]

18. He knows full well my views

I think that he might just be trying to get a rise out of us.

We should give him a damn good kicking - both because he deserves it, plus he's enjoy it.

[Heidi]

20. I just kicked it.

:rofl: My dark (beige) side is rising up in protest. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

21. My dark side is more purple crushed-velvet.

Apart from the really dark side, which is totally hidden from everybody for ever.

[Heidi]

23. I love purple crushed-velvet.

It has the feel of royalty and it sets off my red hair nicely. I bet Khashka looks divine in purpose crushed-velvet, wouldn't you guess?

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

25. I'm sure he does too.

Though there are surprisingly few pictures of him around - perhaps we should commission a few more to bedeck our club-house.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Heidi]

27. Capital idea, tjwmason!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

30. He's going to love us for this

either that or get so pissed off that he'll hunt us down mercilessly.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Heidi]

32. Who would you suggest as the portrait artist

for the royal portrait of khash? My choice would be Nelson Shanks, who so capably depicted both Pope John Paul II and Princess Diana.

[BikeWriter]

33. Uh, you still have a few to go?

[tjwmason]

34. Just a few more now.

Been quite a prolific morning - a.k.a. avoiding work.

[BikeWriter]

35. I used to do that. Some days I'd get by...

with doing practically nothing. The next day I'd stay busy all shift. It kept the supervizors on their toes.

[tjwmason]

36. I'm lucky in that regard.

I'm basically totally unsupervised - the person who is supposed to do so works even less than I do, and my boss is based at an office half way across England from here.

That said - if I don't do what I'm supposed to do, then pretty soon folk start to bitch and moan. It gets done - just not today.

[BikeWriter]

50. That sounds like a good setup! :-)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

[tjwmason]

38. Cruising in what sense of the word?

[tjwmason]

40. As I was beastly to you last-night

my 5000th post is to say what a wonderful person you are.

You've managed to raise a most gorgeous, and obivously charming son. You've entertained and delighted us on here constantly. You're stunningly beautiful, and I'm certain that I'm not alone in saying :loveya:

[progmom]

41. oh my!

:blush:

I think you're fabulous, and I am honored to be the recipient of your 5000th post. Here's to many many more... :toast:

[tjwmason]

53. Now you're going to make me blush too.

But definitely :toast: to lots more posts here - though I doubt that I will reach your stratospheric levels anytime soon.

[xmas74]

43. Silly-of course you can!

Now post a pic w/ a hot man in a kilt. I need some cheering up.

[tjwmason]

46. I don't know of such a picture

So you'll have to make do with me in one.


Is there anything else that I can do to cheer you?

[xmas74]

48. Find me a job.

[swimboy]

47. Looks like you've done it! Congratulations.

:party: :toast: :bounce: :loveya:

[tjwmason]

51. Thank you.

You've past 300 too (which is far harder than adding another 1000 i.m.o.) - but any excuse for a :party: is good in my books :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]
