<p>Let me figure out how much I owe.... hmmm...</p>
<p>Drinks are $0.00 each, but I don't know how many were served... a hundred? More? How can I figure out how much I owe unless I know how many were put on my tab?</p>
<p>l'addition, s'il vous plait!</p>
<p>Or OptiDad can write an equation for a linear, non-decreasing quantity.... :)</p>
<p>No take out orders, please.</p>
<p>This is why I hate coming in at the middle of the show. How did going to get a restraining order to keep a tree from being chopped down, end up in the family court?</p>
<p>Sluggbugg you do lead an exciting life...nevertheless, I think it is time for the Sinner's Alley Stereo Egg Chair (circa 1969) to be wheeled out of the closet...of course it is fitted with the personal imbibing helmet...it sounds as though you are in serious need of decompression ;) ....perhaps Alumother could bring back some potent Feng Shui magic devices from Shanghai to divert evil neighbor vibes!!
Best Wishes for success!! :)</p>
<p>Lol, Sybb -- Just the forms were located in Family Court. Then, the forms get signed over in Civil Court. ::: Diving into the Stereophonic Egg Chair::: :D</p>
<p>Remember when SluggJr's iPod and Bose headphones were stolen in Study Hall last month? He found out who did it, called the guy, and worked it out. I'm real proud of the little slugg. :)</p>
<p>La France a gagne, bien sur, et je suis tellement content... mais l'Espagne-- ils etaient mille fois plus mignon, non?</p>

LMAO!!! My morning entertainment - talk radio is so overrated. :)</p>
<p>What on earth is a stereo eggshell chair? (Aries admits to her youth and gets carded by the bartender.)</p>
<p>ariesathena, the Egg Chair is a lovely spherical return-to-the-womb piece of furniture...think Austin Powers meets Bauhaus, and then add more fun.</p>
<p>P.S. The ID machine is over in the corner, dust off the cobwebs, we use it to change our weight, hair color, and age :grin:...I hope it doesn't break if someone increases their age...... ;)</p>
<p>AHEM! I'm old enough to drink and rent cars. Just not at the same time. ;) That is why, should someone create a Harry Potter-esque aging circle around the bar to keep out the young uns, I could pass through with impunity and not look like a Sybil.</p>
<p>Why change your hair? Not a speck of grey among you, from this corner. (No, not the corner with the kiddie chairs!)</p>
<p>Dig, throw the bill my way. Engineers have got to be good for something. ;)</p>
<p>Will have to find an Egg Chair. Ebay? Vintage stores? Antique malls? ;)</p>
<p>Wasn't there an egg chair in the first Men in Black movie?</p>
<p>Actually, when I did some online research, I saw the Stereo Egg Chair and thought... Will Smith sat in that in his Men In Black application session! :) It was the time when they were all in chairs, filling out forms, and he hauled a table over so he had a writing surface.</p>
<p>SBMom, yeah, why is that soccer players are so good-looking overall? I was wondering about that the other day. I can't think of another sport with so many movie star lookalikes....Enquiring minds want to know.</p>

It would help me a lot if the gang could switch from Francais to Espagnol for their Countdown and Sinner's Alley musings.</p>
<p>As I muddle along trying to self-teach Spanish, I am tres impressione avec ma francais. But as I sit here in San Diego about to cross the border for the purchase of mi casa, I am wishing that Alu and SB would admirent les jeune hommes de futbol en espagnol.</p>
<p>Pile into the Woodie, kids (technically, the term is "rejuveniles")! Party at jmmom's Mexicali mi casa! Wuuuuu-huuuuu! :D</p>
<p>I suck at Espagnal. And I am so impressed with SBMom's french I had to answer her in English. I can't remember how to spell many french words. Man. At one point I was so fluent I was mistaken in France for a Dutch or Russian girl. What a compliment:).</p>
<p>Tu casa es mi casa? Ayiyiyiyiyiyiyi!</p>
<p>I have already told all my IRL friends that they will know I have prevailed over the Mexican real estate gods when they receive my email saying "mi casa es su casa." Friday is D-Day, if we can climb over/under/around or through the various obstaculos.</p>
<p>Mixing a few languages ici, (and getting the cases/tenses/etc. all wrong, bien sur), yo puede dicer que la casa es assez grande pour tous mes amis d'Allez des Pecadors. Allons-y. Venez. ole, ole :D</p>
<p>Como se dice en espanol "thanks jmmom, we'll converge from all over the world...."</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Matadora</p>
<p>So funny, Alu, when I go to France my nationality always puzzles people. They know I am not a native speaker because I make errors, but my accent is pretty impeccable. I've heard guesses that I am Swedish, Dutch-- which I take as a compliment, because those Swedes and Dutch are amazing with languages. Most speak 4 or 5 languages... </p>
<p>The number of languages one speaks seems to be inversely proportional to the size of one's home country.</p>
<p>Back to the hotness of the soccer players. Truly remarkable how consistently good looking they all are. Maybe there is some gene that governs both nimble-footedness and great facial features?</p>

You needn't dice. Just show up. Bearing gifts. :D</p>
<p>SBMom, </p>
<p>Single-minded these days huh? Thinking of your late in life surge...He he. Things they didn't tell us.</p>
<p>Sorry to barge in on your chat but I am suffering from some CC withdrawal!!!! SO -- how is everyone doing? what is new? I seriously wonder what I have been missing. truly, momnipotent</p>
