I'm not venturing out of the lounge today.

[ThomCat]

Very little sleep for 2 nights now. I'm a little slow and punchy. I don't think I could hold my own in GD today. (I mentioned this last night, and it hasn't changed today :( )

So you're all stuck with me. :P

So how are you doing today? What's going on that's fun or interesting?

[miss_american_pie]

1. Hey you

I haven't slept much either. Want some coffee?

[ThomCat]

3. Can I get it with soy milk and chocolate in it!

:7

I would LOVE some caffeine, but I don't care for the taste of coffee by itself. I know, it's positively unAmerican of me. :P

[miss_american_pie]

5. Of course

I even have choclate soy milk.

[ThomCat]

6. Have I told you lately that I love you?

You're wonderful! :*

[miss_american_pie]

7. Oh gosh

Thank you. :hug:

But maybe you should love my kid with the dairy allergy. :)

[ThomCat]

29. Please tell your kid

that I'm a kindred spirit. :)

I grew into a dairy alergy. Dairy was no problem when I was a kid but I haven't been able to tolerate even small amounts of dairy since my late teens. I have funny stories about EMTs telling smurf jokes because I was visibly blue while they rushed me to the hospital. Of course it's only funny now. It wasn't so funny when it happened.

Silk Soy Milk and Soy Delicious "icecream" rule!

[miss_american_pie]

34. He's never been able to have it

and did you know they add powdered milk to babyfood? I learned that as a result of his hives and projectile vomiting. Fun times, this parenthood gig.

His doc thinks he'll outgrow it, but in the meantime we go through tons of that Soy Delicious stuff.

[ThomCat]

35. The stuff they put in food for kids should be a crime.

It's amazing how hard it is to find simply, healthy food for kids, and how expensive it is.

I don't have any kids, but I babysit for friends. And because I like to shop I am a frequent shopping companion. I don't know how parents do it. Especially one friend of mine who is a single mom.

[miss_american_pie]

36. It's awful

He's allergic to dairy, eggs, and all sorts of nuts, so to find things he can eat we usually have to buy organics, and that gets expensive.

[pagerbear]

2. Come here and lay your weary head on Pager's shoulder

[ThomCat]

4. On your shoulder?

Sit down, boy, and I'll lay my head in your lap. :)

[Deja Q]

8. Well that sounds naughty!

:P

[ThomCat]

14. NewWaveChick1981 inspires me today.

I need to be a bit more naughty. :P

[Deja Q]

21. Want me to help?

:P :D

[ThomCat]

22. Of course. You're always invited.

:hug:

[pagerbear]

9. I'll be right over!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. I was sent out on a corporate espionage mission, but I think

the place I was supposed to be espionaging on was a hallucination.

Oh yeah, and I watched Will & Grace and ate a tofu sandwich. Hmm...and chewed gum.

[ThomCat]

15. Well, as long as you're okay and well fed. :)

You have to be careful when you go on those espionage missions. Don't get caught.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. Trust me, it wasn't a risky endeavor.

More like a go in, walk around, talk to the owner, buy something sort of mission.

[ThomCat]

23. Damn. That's not fun.

Unless it was a fun place to shop. Shopping is fun. I could use some retail therapy today.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. I couldn't even find the place.

It's an all-natural shop of some kind.

[swag]

11. Hey, man. I'm very sorry to hear about that lack of sleep.

I hope you get some solid rest soon.

My status report: I'm taking the Pacific Time morning off to clean the house before friends from LA arrive. Tonight we're all going to go to dinner, go wander amongst 'em at the "Last Thursday" artwalk on Alberta, which will be an absolute fucking zoo tonight, then we're going to go hear another old friend perform some music at the Mississippi Avenue Pizza pub. Then I'm going to take tomorrow morning off and go get some breakfast with this crew.

I had better do the vacuuming now.

Take it easy.

[ThomCat]

16. That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm inviting myself over to

visit you on my next vacation. :7

[swag]

19. Please do.

[LeftyMom]

12. Morning, ThomCat

Nothing much going on here. LeftyKid is playing with his remote control dinosaur (somebody around here got it for him for giftmas- he's so spoiled) and I'm still waking up and trying to decide what I want for breakfast.

[ThomCat]

17. Caffeine. You want caffeine for breakfast.

and lots of it.


or maybe I'm just projecting. :)

[LeftyMom]

24. No way

I can't handle caffine. I get the shakes really bad just from a caffinated soda.

[ThomCat]

26. Oh. Well soda is evil to begin with.

But I know other people who can't have caffine. It does bad stuff.

I crave it horribly when I'm in pain. I couldn't get through the day without it today. :(

And starch. Fried Potatoes! Now THAT is a breakfast. With peppers, onions and tomato. And some really good rye bread smeared with peanut butter. :9

[LeftyMom]

27. The spicy food thread got me to wanting indian food

I think I'll be having punjabi eggplant over rice for breakfast.

[ThomCat]

30. I'll be having Indian food for dinner. :)

Curried spinach and Chana Masala over rice. Yum. :)

Food is one of the best medicines. It not only keeps us healthy, it cheers us up too.

Do you think LeftyKid would let me play with the Dinosaur next? I'm tired of paperwork. I'd like to get down on the floor and play with some toys too.
:)

[LeftyMom]

38. He has two (he's soooooooo spoiled)

Do you want the Tyrannosaur or the Pterodactyl?

[ThomCat]

39. Oooooh! The Pterodactyl!

I can wave it through the air and watch it fly!

Unless LeftyKid is doing that. Then I'll play with the tyrannosaurus and eat the furniture legs.:7

[LSK]

13. i spent most of the morning in GD

Its not too bad but still has its moments.

[ThomCat]

18. Please raise some hell for me next time you dive in.

I'd hate for the place to get boring without me. :P

[LSK]

31. hahaha, I saw you in GD

:P

[ThomCat]

33. Yes, I'm a fool.

But I think I only posted once. Not 40 times, like yesterday. :P

[NewWaveChick1981]

28. Stay in here, sweetie!

:hug: I've been working today (in between posting out here, lol!), so nothing interesting yet. Maybe later today! :D

[ThomCat]

32. Okey dokie. I'll keep an eye out for interesting threads.

:)

But please don't get 'em locked too quickly. I'm a bit too zombied today to catch things quickly. :dunce:

[jonnyblitz]

37. the lounge can get intense, too, if you get emeshed in the drama

just sayin... :hi:

[ThomCat]

40. That's true.

:hi:
But I've avoided almost all of that. I like lots of people even if they don't like each other.

Though I do admit I'm careful about talking to a couple of people.

:hug:

[liontamer]

41. hi!

i rarely post outside of the lounge most days anyway. welcome to slackerville. :hi:

[ThomCat]

46. Thank you. I'm sort of enjoying being a slacker.

:hug:
Nobody (who meant it) has called me a monster all day. :)

[NNadir]

42. I spent a good part of the night in GD last night.

Generally I don't go there, but I'm trying to divert myself from just becoming massively depressed.

Not wanting to be a rube, I was pretty obnoxious myself, just to keep in the GD spirit.

Here are my adventures: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1740258

[ThomCat]

45. That's a nice adventure.

:)
I like what you say.

[LostinVA]

43. That's just because you're

antisemitic.

Giggle.

Purrrrrrrrr......purrrrrr.....purrrrrrrr

[ThomCat]

44. I too tired to be

antisemetic today. Maybe tomorrow. :)

[LostinVA]

49. Hehehehe

[ismnotwasm]

47. Oh, come on you know you want to

Come on, just a peak...

[ThomCat]

48. I did. I peeked. And I even posted once or twice.

But then I came right back here. It's scary out there. :cry:
