A Heads Up, Newsletter

[virgo1]

The mail was good today. Volume 2, Number 7 of the Newsletter came today. I guess drinks are on me this time. :D

Eva :wink:

[Wendy]

Eva ...

Dry white wine for me please ... now you had better hang around to buy the drinks before rushing off to the read the newsletter ... :)

Wendy

[Mary]

I'll have Chablis - thanks Eva :)

[Wendy]

Anyone seen any peanuts around here ??

Wendy

[virgo1]

Wendy and Mary...

I thumbed through it during dinner. A 2005 Bonus Edition is included for version 4. I'll stick around for drinks, semidry white for me. It's early evening here, 7 pm. Saturday night...7 pm...my favorite programs on public tv are from the BBC and CBC. Can I read the newsletter and watch Ballykissangle at the same time. :lol:

Eva :wink:

[Pauline]

ok Gary, you got yours a whole week before me last time. This time I want mine first!!! :cry:
Oh and I'll have a rye and ginger please mmmmmm that sounds good. Maybe I'll have a real one instead!

[GaryK]

Pauline

Get yours sent here instead .. I'll drop it off at your hubbys work and he can bring it home :lol: :lol:

Eva

I'll have one of dem dare "import" beers...maybe a.... Canadian ..eh. :lol:

[Pauline]

Well I enjoyed my drink. Thanks Eva! :lol: At least I wasn't drinking alone. I had all my internet buddies with me. :lol:

Good try Gary. Considering he's staying in the city a couple days a week, I'll take my chances with the mail service. And if I hear them mention the SNOW word on the radio one more time, I'm going to have to turn it off!!!

[MikeH]

I went to bed "early" and missed the Eva in the chair :cry: :cry:

Mike

[Wendy]

Mike ...

Trouble is the time difference ... !!

Wendy

[virgo1]

I didn't have a drink and fell asleep to the tv. :lol: :lol:

Eva :wink:

[Pauline]

Ya well bratty Thomas, PM'd me to get me to sign up to MSN, just before I was going to bed and I ended up staying up past midnight chatting with Gary, Grant, Ray and Sherry!! I went to bed with my head whirling from all that speed reading and trying to keep up with everything!! It was fun though. :wink: Good think I only had one drink!

[Wendy]

Pauline ....

Sounds like it was good fun ... :)


Wendy

[Pauline]

actually it was fun, but I had plenty of schezophrenia moments. Not that I have schezophrenia, but it must be what it feels like!! Thomas went to bed after he got us all going ,and sometimes with 5 people we had a couple different subjects going! You kind of had to piece things together. :lol: My mind was whirling. My e-mail messages were popping up and it was all I could do to try and keep track of things. It was pretty fun though. I will miss next Sat.'s big night since I will be at a Halloween party. Usually not much happens around here Sat night, so it's a good night for some fun with friends. Poor Sherry was outnumbered by us Canadians!! All of us that were on live relatively close to each other. Well Ray is the farthest with Montreal. That's about a 7 hr drive from me.

[GaryK]

Got home today..guess what was in the mailbox :D :D :D

[jazzfisher]

I'll have a Zombie while waiting for it to hit the US of A.

[GaryK]

Grant has a bunch of those :lol: :lol:

[jazzfisher]

Maybe I'll switch to a Bloody Mary---Get it?

[Pauline]

Gary, you're lying just to bug me aren't you? I know you are and that just isn't fair. I had a bad day today and could have used a nice newsletter as a pick me up. I can't even have a drink since I have 6 girls to pick up after their basketball game!! :cry:

[GaryK]

Pauline

Sorry..not lying. I was very surprised though.

[Pauline]

I'm surprised too! That was fast! Hopefully I won't have to wait a whole week longer than you. Not that I don't have enough to do or anything!
Took me all bloody day to finish lesson 7! Three attempts before I got it done!

[CarolLHB]

Got mine today-but I'm only drinking Nyquil (sniffle, sniffle) :( ...
I'll read it as soon as I can focus...(ahchoo!!!!!!!)

[Wendy]

Oh dear ...

Carol you poor thing ... I was going to say pass the white wine but I guess its going to have to be pass the tissues instead :).

Do hope that you are feeling better soon ...


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Carol, ya, i know...got mine today too. Can't look at it yet either.....pretty cover tho ;) I've been sick for over a month now...2 colds are never better than one ! I can honestly say the latest is probably one of the worst I've ever had....tho I don't have too much to compare it to as I really am not the 'sickly catch every cold ' type of person. Get better sooner !

[CarolLHB]

Are they soft tissues???

Thanks, guys-poor Jodi, I shouldn't complain-I've only been sick since Friday...fortunately I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow anyway-so if this is a sinus infection, which I suspect it is, I'll be on the mend soon enough :) .

I do like the cover-like the PSE4 cover even better even though that one's not much use to me (although judging from all the posts, we're not missing much, eh Wendy :wink: ?)

Thanks for the "feel betters"-they're working already!

[Wendy]

Carol ...

Well they did say they were working on a Mac version :)


Wendy

[CarolLHB]

At the moment I think I'll pass :lol:

[Wendy]

Ummm ... did anyone bring any food??


Wendy

[CarolLHB]

Wendy, my husband brought me Entemann's chocolate covered doughnuts (take 1 three times a day-better than Nyquil)...I'll share... :D

[Wendy]

Hi Carol ...

... Oh that is nice of you.

I have some mincepies in the freezer (just waiting for Christmas) so I'll get a douzen of them out :)

AND. ... my newsletter has just arrived so drinks are on me :)


Wendy

[MikeH]

My Newsletter arrived today as well... :) but the drinks are still on Wendy :lol:

This issue looks particulary good... :) and the PSE4 supplement is tempting me to upgrade...

Mike

[Wendy]

Mike ....

No drinks are on you ... make mine a double white wine :)

Wendy

[Pauline]

I really think I need a triple rye and ginger. Thanks!

[MikeH]

Ok... I'll get the drinks... just don't tell everyone...

Large dry white wine and a triple rye and ginger coming up...

I playing taxi tonight so I'm on orange juice... :(

Mike

[Jodi Frye]

Oh just give me a Bloody Mary...heavy on the horseraddish please. I need to kick this nasty demond cold out of me somehow.

[MikeH]

Jodi,

Ok.... with pleasure... any one else while I'm at the bar..?

Mike

[jazzfisher]

I'll go tropical today--Mai Tai, please.
Still waiting in partly sunny California.

Mike, I like 4.0

[Pauline]

Uh, can I have seconds? While that first one did put me out for the needed hours' sleep I'm a little depressed about the 3 bills that came in the mail. No PET magazine, BUT an advertisement from Adobe regarding elements 4!! Now that's just plain mean! :cry:

Oh and while laying down I had another 'mask' brainstorm, so it's off to try it out. :lol:

[MikeH]

Sherry,

Mai Tai coming up... Pay cheque just arrived so an order maybe going off...

Pauline - I did think you'd started early, but here goes...

Mike

[Pauline]

Now Mike, remember the time change here. I did have my first one after 1 pm! It's now 3:25.

[MikeH]

Pauline,

It's a good job I'm going by closing time over here then...!!

Mike

[jazzfisher]

It's always after 5pm (Cocktail time) somewhere in the world at all times!!! :lol:

[Wendy]

That is so true ... they always say that the sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world !!

May I have another glass of white wine please?


Wendy

[MikeH]

Wendy,

Pheww this is proving an expensive round... good job Gary isn't here :lol:

Here you go Wendy another "large" glass of wine :)

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike,
Maybe just give Wendy a box of wine less refills--unless you are serving the good stuff out of a bottle.

[MikeH]

Sherry,

I only go for the good stuff out of a bottle... :) or more than one bottle :lol:

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Well, when the tour bus rolls into Encinitas here, we have a great wine bar with excellent wines & am friends with the owners & we can take over for a PSE night!!!!!

[Jodi Frye]

Mike, my glass is drying out...what's a gal got to do around here to get a refill ? I have no boobs to hang on the bar and time is not
waiting for me...if ya know what I mean. :roll:

[jazzfisher]

Jodi,
It would have to be a really small bar for me to hang anything on tooo! :lol:

[CarolLHB]

Jodi! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Forget the Nyquil-I'll have a frozen mudslide! Don't wanna say what would happen to the bar if I...never mind... :lol:

[Wendy]

Sherry,

I getting worried about who is going to drive the tour bus ... :)


Wendy

[jazzfisher]

Wendy,
I think we better hire someone to drive the tour bus back to my house--you all can sleep on the floor or in tents in the back yard. We could probably make $$$ if we turn in all the wine bottles we empty to the the recycler!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wendy]

Sherry ...

Its OK I will drive ... (I don't actually drink :) :)) ... well except here :)


Wendy

[jazzfisher]

Wendy,
A virtual drinker--the worst kind!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wendy]

Sherry ...

I know ... so bad for me :)


Wendy

[MikeH]

I don't actually drink :) :)) ... well except here :)

Sherry,

All the more for us then :)

Mike

[Wendy]

Mike ...

No way !! ... I'm still virtually propping up the bar :)


Wendy

[Pauline]

Okay Folks. I'm buying!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ah, you might have a while to wait though since the forums seems to be crawling along today. Rather than avoid the frustration, I am heading back to my couch with my newsletter!

I LOVE the front cover (of the regular issue).

[jazzfisher]

The forum slow---thank goodness I thought it was just me

[MikeH]

Pauline,

I'll have a glass of a full bodied red wine please... waht do you have in?

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike, If your typing is any indication--you've had too much!! :lol:

[Jodi Frye]

I'm starting to catch a buzz. Not sure who's been puttin' the drinks in front of me...but ' thanks' ;)

[MikeH]

Sherry,

I'm making up for being the designated driver last night...

Mike

[Wendy]

Oh my ...

Guess I joined the party late tonight ....

Dry white wine please ... and a packet of Crisps :)


Wendy

[MikeH]

I'm still waiting for my red wine... Pauline's service is slower than the Forum tonight :lol:

Mike

[Wendy]

Ummm ....

Pauline ... where are the drinks ??? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Wendy

[jazzfisher]

Yes a large Red Wine would be nice

[MikeH]

And another large red wine here please...

Mike

[Wendy]

Oh I suppose I had better have another ... the slow speed on the site is driving me up the wall. GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


Wendy

[virgo1]

I thought Pauline said she was going to the couch with the newsletter. That is a little far from the bar. I'm ready for a vodka on ice. :lol:

Eva :wink:

[Pauline]

So sorry folks. I did go to the couch with my newsletter, and I didn't receive notification of any of your drink orders!!! Not only was the site slow, but it was negligent as well. :lol: A double for everyone! 8)

[MikeH]

Pauline,

Phhheeeww!!! at last... it was getting very dry in here :lol:

I'm on the white wine tonight.... very large dry white wine please...

Mike

[jazzfisher]

It's noon here so I'll have a vodka martini with extra olives, please.

The olives are the lunch part! :wink:

[MikeH]

Sherry,

Actually I'll join you in a Gin and Tonic first (Pauline - you'd better have Bombay Sapphire gin)...

Mike

[Pauline]

Uh, Mike, I've never heard of that gin. I only have Gilbey's Lemon Gin.
A martini. Hmmmm I don't think I'm good at this bar thing. I don't even know how to make a martini and I think I used all the yucky olives on my
husband's half of the pizza. This is a tough group and I don't get out enough. :cry:

[jazzfisher]

Oooh, That's a great gin if you like gin. (ick)


Hey any of you UK people know these places? my favorite Peter White is there performing this & next week:
Pizza Epress--London
Ollies Bar/Royal Groom--Ascot
Cinnamon Club--Altrincham
The Stables--Milton Keynes

[MikeH]

Sherry,

I've heard of PizzaExpress in London and The Stables in Milton Keynes (the company I work for is based in Milton Keynes).. but I've never been to either of them.

So, how come you're not over here as the tour photographer then..? :wink:

Mike

[MikeH]

Uh, Mike, I've never heard of that gin. I only have Gilbey's Lemon Gin.
A martini. Hmmmm I don't think I'm good at this bar thing. I don't even know how to make a martini and I think I used all the yucky olives on my
husband's half of the pizza.

Hmmmphhh you just can't get the bar staff these days...

I can see our world tour will have to include some evening classes... :wink:

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike,
Your assignment is to go to The Stables & ask Peter that.
Have him call me on his cell--he has my #
He's from Luton (born there) grew up in Letchworth Garden City.

[MikeH]

Sherry,

He's at The Stables on Sunday...

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike,
You have your assignment.......


Besides it would be one of the best concerts you could see---he started out with Al Stewart--if you remember him.

[MikeH]

Sherry,

Well as I'm here you'll guess that I'm not at the Stables...

Al Stewart, oh I've heard him on those oldies radio shows :lol: - The Year Of The Cat right..?

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike,
I'm sooooo disappointed I thought I could count on you to do my bidding :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: !! :lol: !
Also you missed a really fun time no doubt!!!

Well, he's still playing several places around London for the next couple of days--I'll give you a second chance! :wink:
