Weekend Coffee Chat!

[Janice]

Since it's so late now, I figured I'd post the Coffee Chat thread for the early risers.

Happy Holiday Weekend, my friends. I'm not doing much on Saturday, just getting the place ready for some company on Sunday.

What are your Saturday plans?

Who's bringing the muffins and scones? ;)

[Fleet]

Again?



;)

[TJL]

I had a great night Janice. Things are off to a good start.

Thanks for the good luck message.

I will file a full report tomorrow after i get to Mom and Dad's place.

I am really tired now, so I'm off to bed.

No scones for me, i just had breakfast at the Galaxy Diner on 9th Ave.

I highly reccommend the eggs benedict.

;)

[gilligan fanatic]

I have to be at work in an hour, but I am only working for 4 hours so it isn't that bad. It will be really busy though.

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

Happy Peppy Cofee Hyper morning to everyone!:D
ACTUALLY... I HAVEN'T HAD ANY COFEE... BUT I'M STILLL HYPER HYPER HYPER!
today... i will study for a test... maybe... clean my room, finish some projects i started years ago...
Happy Easter to every one!

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

I brought some muffins! they look yummy...:D

[Janice]

Yum, those muffins look delicious mrs.gingerhinkley, thanks! :happyface

I'm glad you had a nice time Tom. Can't wait to hear all about it!

Shut up Fleet. j/k :kiss:

I slept until 10:30, then made the hubby breakfast.

My two cats need so much attention in the morning. It's like they missed us overnight or something, lol.

:cat: :cat:

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

i had waffles for breakfast. YUM!:crazy:

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

I just woke up 30 min. ago. It doesnt even feel like Saturday to me since my days have been running together since hanging out with Curt the last 3 nites til 5am. Today I have work 2-9 and then me and Curt are going out again. Tomorrow Im working in the morning then ham at home! :liplick:

[Number 9 Dream]

Morning all! :wave:

Again, I have work from 2:30-10 but I'm looking forward to coming home tonight and seeing my family tomorrow :) Hopefully there's no arguing.

I also have some homework to do before I go back to school on Monday (spring break went toooo quick), so I better get on that tonight!

Hope everyone has a nice holiday! :D

[swedeace]

God morgon, allihopa! :D

It's currently 10:32 a.m., and it's been cloudy all morning long. It has been like this since yesterday evening, and I am still waiting for it to rain.

I am also getting ready for work. Before work, I plan on eating some brunch at my mom's house and getting my taxes done at work. My college offers free tax prep for the community. After work, I plan on using the rest of my Applebee's gift card to order the Tequila Lime chicken. I am badly craving it right now that I can't get it out of my head. Yum! :drool:

[PZelda]

I have noooooooooo idea what'll be going on for me. My dad has not had anything planned for Easter, but we'll be eating out at some point... maybe today or tomorrow. And I have some floor spot-cleaning to work on. :lol: (coffee and dirt. Oops.) And, *shrug*, that's it.

[Number 9 Dream]

After work, I plan on using the rest of my Applebee's gift card to order the Tequila Lime chicken. I am badly craving it right now that I can't get it out of my head. Yum! :drool:

Is that the same as Fiesta Lime chicken? :confused: Because I had that one day and it was gooooood :drool:

[Brian Damage]

My doctor just diagnosed me with depression. Yay me! :rolleyes: I really want to see Grindhouse today, but nobody is available to go with me. :(

[Ireneparalegal]

I FEEL LIKE CRAP!!!!!!!!! *tourette's syndrome behavior insert here*

I got sick the day after my birthday. I was just feeling a little bit under the weather and now it got worse. Bad cough! That's ok though because yesterday I had to take my son to the emergency room. Ear infection. He is feeling lousy! I feel so bad for him. I would rather be the sick one then him. Oh well, I guess our Easter plans are canceled.


Sorry to hear abt what you are going through Brian. Hey, I have been there too. Meds and all. If you ever need a shoulder, one is right here.

[Brian Damage]

I hope you and your son are feeling better Irene. It sucks being sick.

[dawsongirl]

My doctor just diagnosed me with depression.

Brian, that just breaks my heart, yet I'm not surprised. For the last several weeks I've felt that something was wrong, even in our e:mail conversations. After all these years, I think I know you very well. You haven't been yourself. I hope your doctor can find the right course of treatment for you. Remember, it's NOTHING to be ashamed of, and it's NOT your fault.

I don't have to tell you that I'm always here for you Brian. You're my best online friend, and I've grown to love you. I don't care how that sounds to anyone. It's true. If you need to talk on the phone to me, that can be arranged. Clinical depression is one scary diagnosis. Don't try to go it alone here. Fortunately, you have a wonderful, loving and supportive wife.

And go see Grindhouse alone. You watch movies alone at home. You want to see it real bad, just go. You and your bloodbath movies, lol.

I'm so sorry to hear this Irene. It's difficult enough taking care of a sick child without being sick yourself. What a terrible situation for you both, especially with Easter here. I hope you and your little love feel better soon, and I hope your boyfriend is stepping up to the plate.

:bighug:

[Ireneparalegal]

:bighug: :thanks: To you Janice. It really is bad timing, but then again, is it ever good timing to be sick? :crazy: :lol: Right now my son is in pain and I just gave him some Tylenol. I feel so bad for him. I just want to take his pain away. His dad went to the store right now to go buy him something from Toys R Us. Thanx for caring!


Brian, the depression and all that goes with it must have been driving you crazy. The emotional lows and wondering "What is wrong with me?" The thoughts that go through your head, etc. Believe me, you have friends here and those of us who are dealing with depression for one reason or another, understand what you are going through. Mine came on because of my chronic back pain. I am deeply thankful for my doctors who diagnosed me and helped me through. Whenever you feel the need to vent or rage, we are here. I am here. :bighug:

[swedeace]

Is that the same as Fiesta Lime chicken? :confused: Because I had that one day and it was gooooood :drool:
Yep! That's what it is! I always forget what the new name is because this dish used to be called Tequila Lime Chicken." So now, I forget what is the new and old name and still often get them mixed up. And, as you can see, I still get them confused. :lol: It's yummy, isn't it? :biglove:

[swedeace]

By the way, it hasn't rained yet. Instead, it snowed! *gasp* :eek: Well, it sprinkled snow. The good thing is that nothing is sticking to the ground. Wow....I can't remember the last time we had snow in April! It must've not been since the early 90s for us. Wow....so weird....

Thanks Janice, I knew I was feeling very rundown lately. You know everything that has been going on here with me and my kids. I really thought it was just stress, but I found myself sleeping like 10 hours a day and still feeling tired. People at work were asking what was wrong with me and honestly, I didn't know. Jenn was constantly telling me that I seemed different. You even said I changed a bit. I felt different, but I guess I ignored the symptoms. Today I went to the shrink and gave me the diagnosis. I guess I am grateful for finding out, but a part of me is "old school" and would rather push past the pain. It really is a sickening feeling.

[Fleet]

Shut up Fleet. j/k :kiss:

It is driving me crazy, because this is so not like me. I feel trapped in a bubble. Hopefully the meds he perscribed will shake me out of this rut.

Take two chocolate bars and call me in the morning. :)
(Chocolate is supposed to help depression.)

I'm really sorry to hear that buddy. You're a strong minded man, you'll be okay. You have a lot be okay for with that beautiful wife and two little girls of yours. Not so sure Grindhouse will help lift your spirits though lol.

Thanks Crank, maybe a little Tarantino and Rodriguez violence will stir up some of my old self. lol

[Brian Damage]

Brian, you are both in my thoughts and in my prayers; stay strong, my friend:) and God Bless you:bighug:


Thank you sweetie, that means a lot! :)

Thanks, I'll be alright. It sucks to have that kind of diagnosis though.

Hello everyone!

I'm currently at my parents house for the Easter weekend. I took a train this afternoon, which really wasn't the most pleasant ride since I was up until nearly 6 this morning with my friends. The fun never stops in the big apple.

I just came back from dinner with my parents my sister and her husband and thier daughter kate.

TGIFridays rocks. I highly recommend the green bean fries.

We're now hanging around my parents ouse hiding plastic Easter eggs for my neice to find - she cheats and peeks while we're hiding them.

The Easter Bunny left me a ton of chocolate here. He rules.

Tomorrow it's off to my brother's for Easter Dinner.

Of course i'm sure Janice wants to hear all about what I did last night...

I had my first official "date" with my ladyfriend who i have mentioned in previous Weekend Coffee Chat threads. We went to dinner at this great place over on 10th Avenue, had a bottle of wine and a nice meal and talked for a while. She's very charming and funny. Then of course we went back to the Gaf for the rest of the evening. I really didn't want to go there since all of our friends were there - but in the end it was nice to have friends around.

I introduced her to my roommate's girlfriend and they chatted most of the night, plus my buddy Tim was there with his girlfriend Kris who put in a few good words for me.

We had a very good time. i really like this girl a lot and from what I have gathered (thanks to some info from the girls) she feels the same way.

I think we will be doing something again real soon. She has a very busy work schedule in the next few weeks (plus she's going away on business for a few days) but I think we'll be able to see each other soon.

So for the first time in a while, i think I might have something good going on here.

;)

[Brieannas21]

My doctor just diagnosed me with depression.


I've been there, happened after my friend was killed...Meds didn't help me at all just made it worse.

But on a happy note. I went into the office today and I worked all day today. Tomorrow it's church and 2 easter dinners, Oh the joy.

[Brian Damage]

The problem with this depression, is that I am actually feeling physical pain.

Tomorrow, we are heading out to my in-laws....oh joy!

[Already Gone]

My doctor just diagnosed me with depression. Yay me! :rolleyes: I really want to see Grindhouse today, but nobody is available to go with me. :(

I'm really sorry to hear that Brian :( You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you get a treatment for it that works well for you. If you do go see Grindhouse, I hope you enjoy it. :)

[Brad Russ]

Pretty decent weekend for me so far. Just got back from taking a nice walk up to Walgreens. Bought my neighbor some Easter presents, so I'm just waiting for her to get home so I can give them to her. Aside from that, I've pretty much just been laying around resting, and watching WWE 24/7, and planning out my plans for next week.

Sounds like a great time Tom. I really have a good feeling about this. I'm glad the evening turned out so well. :)

I have no plans today for Easter, so it is a bit depressing for me. :( My mom might go out of town with a couple of friends of hers on a day trip, and my sister might end up spending the day with her boyfriend. None of my relatives invited me to a dinner or a get-together, no word on any gatherings for today, etc.

It looks like it's going to be a solo day for me with me just staying at my apartment hanging out and cleaning. Too bad. I wanted to be involved in a gathering or a dinner or lunch or something today.

I'm sorry to hear that Mona. What's up with your relatives? Maybe they thought you had plans already? Nobody should be alone on a holiday.

[Brad Russ]

I'm so sorry to hear about that Brian!! :( I was diagnosed as bi-polar a few years back, and I know it can be hell at times. If you ever need someone to talk to, please know that I'm always hear to listen. :) Hang in there buddy!! :hug:

[freshprinceofLA]

Well kinda a :( last day of spring break! I'll try to enjoy today. Nothing really interesting going on today for me.

[Brad Russ]

Today I'm going to help my neighbor wash her dog. She needs help because he's paralyzed in his back, so I have to hold him up and stuff while she washes him. I also might have a date later tonight, but after the last one was a no show, I'm not getting my hopes up about that. I lost 7 pounds on my trip to Detroit, so I'll also probably go for a nice long walk, and try to lose some more weight. :) Aside from that, I'm just planning on being lazy, laying around, and watching basketball.

[swedeace]

Thank you for your concerns, Janice and Jenny. :hug: Today ended up being somewhat productive. Well, the second half of the day was more productive than the first part of the day. My mom and I ended up doing some shopping at Wal-Mart, we went to watch "Night at the Museum" at the dollar theatre, and I took my mom to work. After that, I hung out with a friend and her husband by going to his aunt's house for Easter dinner and then went home and watched the Peter Davison Doctor Who episode "Castrovalva" on YouTube. I got home about 1.5 hours ago. I'm soon going to bed so I can make it to my Step Aerobics class.

So, yeah, today ended up a great day for me. Sometimes the unexpected events are better when they are spur-of-the-moment decisions.

[dawsongirl]

Thanks, it is a club I wish I wasn't a part of though. lol
I know. :( But you're definetly not in a small club, so that's reassuring. I used to think I was the only one who felt this way until I started reading posts here of people who felt similar. Turns out this is kind of a depressing board. :\

At least we don't have to sell cookies. </lame joke to lighten to mood>

[Brad Russ]

Here is my weekend

FRIDAY I had the date from HELL; this is the reason why I do not DATE; this guy turned out to be such an ass!; first, he was all over me, very touchy/feely, which, like most people, I do not like; then he pretty much told me that he was in love with me..HA!!!, whatever, dude:rolleyes: Then, (it get worse, folks) he has the audacity to flirt with my best friend's girlfriend, in front of him and I; this idiot was a total jerk! and yes, he did call me the next day...(PLEASE, LOOSE MY CELL NUMBER) arggghhhhhh!

Geez, that's almost as bad as the last date I had where the woman showed up drunk, and barely able to walk or talk. :rolleyes: Looks like we've both had some pretty ****ty experiences recently. Hopefully our next experiences in the dating world will go a little smoother. They certainly couldn't go much worse. :lol:

[Brad Russ]

He was a drunk HORN DOG from hell; he was just a walking erection; kept saying how beautiful I am and what a great body I have *BARF*; and he could not keep his hands off me. I just told him the truth, that I was not interested in him, and that there is someone in my life that I happen to love very much..but no!!!, he still called the next day:rolleyes:

:lol: Don't mean to make light of it, but it sounds like we had the same exact date. This girl scooted her chair right next to mine, and was hanging over me all night. The smell of alcohol was just oozing off of her skin and breath, and she kept telling me how she wanted me to take her home, and blank her. :eek: There's no way I was about to even kiss this girl, much less blank her. LOL!! She probably would have vomitted in my mouth had I tried. :lol: She eventually ended up taking a cab home, and I emailed her the next night to make sure she got home okay, and I haven't been out on a single date since, and that was almost 3 months ago. Amazing how much one bad night can influence your whole dating life. ohno:

[Brad Russ]

7 pounds...woooohoooooo!!! I am so proud of you, Brad:)

Thanks Tara. :) About 15 more pounds to go, and I'll be right where I want to be. :D

[PZelda]

:lol: Sorry, but I laughed at your story, Brad. I know I wouldn't be laughing if that happened to me, either. Ewwww...BLAH. I seem to attract guys like that sometimes, too. Ew.

I remember this one time I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend's dad. It was at an Elks lodge here in town, and there was this guy there (my friend's brother's friend). OMG... he would NOT stop hitting on me. He basically wanted to take me out on to the dance floor and feel me up right there. Needless to say, I was NOT cool with that and THANK GOD I had to leave. :rofl:

[Brad Russ]

:lol: Sorry, but I laughed at your story, Brad. I know I wouldn't be laughing if that happened to me, either. Ewwww...BLAH. I seem to attract guys like that sometimes, too. Ew.

Ha ha ha, it's okay. I can look back at it now and laugh myself, but damn, at the time I wished I could just crawl into a hole everytime she made a scene, (which was pretty much the whole night). In a weird way, it's kind of nice to know I'm not the only one who has some dating horror stories. :lol:

[PZelda]

Let me guess, he wanted to SLOW dance with you?:rolleyes:
YES! OMG.

Same thing happened another time, but it was at a wedding reception with a different guy. Both guys, though, were drunk off their asses. Ewww. The guy @ the wedding reception actually had the nerve to SAY, "Can I touch your ass when we're on the dance floor?" To that I said, "How would you like a kick to your crotch?" He left me alone after that. :rofl:

[PZelda]

Ha, honey, I believe it..some men (especially, if they are drunk) just have a lot of nerve; hence, the reason, why I like being single???
Damn, where did all the gentlemen go?, oh, they are married or gay, or taken...:lol:
Or in the service. :lol:

[Brad Russ]

Funny that we're talking about dating, considering I just got back from one that was made last minute, which, imagine this, actually turned out to be pretty darn good!! :eek::eek::eek: This was a girl that I had gone out with before, and who I knew was normal, so I knew I didn't have anything to worry about. She even wants to go out again next week!! :D

With all these dating horror stories, I'm just waiting for someone to tell me to shut the hell up. :lol: If it's any consolation, I'll probably have another date from hell in a couple weeks, so don't be too mad at me. Believe me, I'm still a member of the psycho daters club!! :lol: ;)

[Brad Russ]

Ha, maybe we should set out dates up, they sound like the PERFECT pair!

Yeah, it sounds like they were separated at birth! LOL!!
