L2D2 4. July 2009, 22:08

Happy July 4th Edward. Don't let the Bloody Mary's get the better of you....or at least be near a bed or chair if they do! :D

edwardpiercy 4. July 2009, 22:14

I'm actually back in The Cave and IN BED drinking them as this is where the AC is. Or I guess I dhould say sitting on the bed. Listening to Regina Spektor.

LMAO.

Have a great one, Linda.

L2D2 4. July 2009, 22:37

It is going OK.

ellinidata 4. July 2009, 22:52

:heart:

edwardpiercy 4. July 2009, 23:13

@ Linda

OK is not nearly good enough in my book. Thus I am sending you this magic genie that will make all your wishes come true. He should arrive in about two hours if the flying carpets are running in time. :D

@ A.

You too, Angeliki. And you can't know how glad I am to have you back and how much I have missed you and that I am looking forward to your return post!

:heart:

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 00:47

I am going by the river to see the 4th of July fireworks!

I love you much!
if you have a "cold beer"
have a second for me!
I am still holding fee of alcohol....
but I crave the f* thing ,
as much as I crave other things
that I will not admit even if mt life depended on it! :D

see you in two hours or so........... :heart:

L2D2 5. July 2009, 00:48

Edward thank you. I believe I will take a ride on that Magic Carpet to my younger years. I am feeling very old lately.

Stardancer 5. July 2009, 01:24

Happy 4th!

:hat:

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 01:41

@ A.

Well better a beer than a ....

See ya in a couple.


@ Linda

There was a song like that, yeah? "Take a Magic Carpet Ride."


@ Star.

Happy 4th. S. We'll remember the good things about the US.

L2D2 5. July 2009, 03:23

Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. I saw them at a lowly dive in Kilgore maybe 20 years ago. There were only two of the original band but they were still touring, but oh, how the mighty had fallen. They still sounded good, but didn't have new material. I felt sorry for them.

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 03:36

better than ...... w00t! :hat: ...... it look promising !! :lol:

I don't dare asking what the ......translate to!
if it is ....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sometimes it is as delicious as a beer ! p:

:D

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 03:54

@ Linda

Wow. Yes I remember now. I remember seeing the Pretenders down to the same minimal staff. Basically just Chrissie Hynde. Would have been a great concert if they hadn't rushed it so much.


@ Ang

Well we are celebrating your return and I have now. Had about 37 drinks in your honor on your return. w00t w00t!

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 05:30

37 w00ts makes my return grand!!! w00t! w00t!



L2D2 5. July 2009, 05:57

I would say "grand" doesn't quite cover it Angeliki. Did you have a nice vacation?

gdare 5. July 2009, 07:04

Happy 4th of July Ed :hat: Take care, all these Mary-women could be tricky :left:

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 07:08

:o: yes it was great Linda !

"I would say "grand" doesn't quite cover it Angeliki"

hahahaha , I will not hold myself any longer and I will say :lol: :lol: :lol:
Eddie boy just wanted a reason ! p:
I am glad I helped the "Lady Liberty" :lol:

Darko,
you know too much! :D

L2D2 5. July 2009, 07:21

I am beginning to believe Edward will use any excuse to celebrate.....greatly! :lol:

ricewood 5. July 2009, 08:44

Belated happy independence day.

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 13:16

Seems I used to "celebrate" a lot more than I do now. p:

And thanks Allan.

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 18:06

Eddie your secret is out!!!

:lol: Linda I am a believer too!

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 18:30

*currently recouperating from celebrating*

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 18:36

hahahaha
I mean :frown: sorry...
Eddie,
you know I care with a :D in my face , no?

ok here comes a hug :

h00t! (just for fun)

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 18:42

*feels an improvement coming on...*

:D

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 19:28

everything with the name "on" seems an improvement to me!

Homer: Doh! I hope we are talking about the same thing! :lol:

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 19:50

LMAO.

I'm sure we were. p:

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 20:21

Gosh! for a moment I thought something else was going "on" p:

edwardpiercy 5. July 2009, 20:44

Here's another "on"

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zDlcqKcP0Ew&client=mv-google&gl=CA&hl=en

Kim Wilde -- I definitely get "on" p:

ellinidata 5. July 2009, 21:30

w00t! :hat:

*Viagra goes in the trash and it's replaced by a cold beer! Our Eddie is "on" ! *

L2D2 6. July 2009, 00:15

After that marathon celebration you should have been unable to motivate at all today, mentally or physically.:whistle:

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 00:34

@ Angeliki

w00t!


You know I worked with a girl who looked exactly like Wilde. She was a sweet girl. Married, though. :cry:

@ Linda

Surprisingly I don't have any hangover today. I'm more bored than anything else.

L2D2 6. July 2009, 02:34

I can't type for my cat butting her head against my hand and sitting on my keyboard.

It's amazing you don't have a hangover after that bout. :D

Bored? Did you say bored? How is that? I don't think I have been bored over 4 times in my life. Not something that happens to me very often.

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 03:03

Love the cat story. :D

Sasha jambs her head into the Blackberry to push it out of the way and give me kisses or one of her toys. I think she's jealous of the thing!

Well the boredom did lead me this afternoon to polishing my shoes. And I just got done fixing the bent earpiece on my good sunglasses -- amazing what a pair of needle-nose pliers will do.

L2D2 6. July 2009, 03:49

I know my cats are dismayed and angry when I sit at the computer so much. I am supposed to be sitting in my recliner before the TV so they can lay in my lap.

If I am on the pc, they will get on top of the desk and lay accross my mouse pad and mouse so I can't move my hand. My Popcorn sneakily lowers her nose to my hand on the keyboard and keeps giving it little shoves. Topaz will just pretend the keyboard isn't there and walk all over it. And THEN lie on my mouse.

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 03:53

:D

ellinidata 6. July 2009, 06:29

Eddie married she was but not "dead" :lol: I am sure she loved having a smart man like you around!

Linda my kids have one cat each,
a calico and a short hair black and white...
since we are very much into Science their names are :
Lava and Magma :heart:
our cats behave exactly like yours! :smile: plus they like to sit behind my butt in a chair! :lol: either I have a "hot butt" or they want to show me who is the boss! :D
I made a post on the with the title "priceless" :smile:


*hugs Eddie not to be bored*




L2D2 6. July 2009, 06:38

Angeliki. it is undoubtedly the "hot butt":lol:

Mine do the same thing.

Magma and Lava---aren't they the same thing? Geological cats. Woohoo! :D

ellinidata 6. July 2009, 06:42

:lol:

I will go with "hot" too!

the next cat will be named "volcano" p:

or
"mom is tired of cleaning the litter! " :D

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 16:40

How about "Flo" -- after pyroclastic flow?

Although I recommed that you get a nice dachshund instead. :D


No boredom today. Have to go up to the doctor's office. Yes, there's nothing that quite says "excitement" like an echocardiogram. p:



L2D2 6. July 2009, 20:45

Why, Edward, do you miss the thrill you got from the electrodes on the electrocardiogram? The thrill of their icy touch is unforgettable. Now you just get a silent echocardiogram. That's boring.

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 20:51

Oh it's not silent! It sounds like a dishwasher -- shhhwoooomp shhhwoooomp boink! shhhwoooomp shhhwoooomp boink! etc etc etc.

Waiting now to give the friendly vampires some of my blood. Then it's home and a good lunch. :up:

ellinidata 6. July 2009, 21:01

blue blooded people are the "friendly vampires's" favorites p:

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 21:08

:D

Not blue exactly. More like lapis luzi. p:


A. I've had some time to kill here so I've been "pimping my phone." I now have a cool Andy Warhol theme with Marilyn. Whoa!

(You don't think that's too "gay" do you?)

L2D2 6. July 2009, 21:14

Well.....:lol:
