    Chris
    :)

CM comes in blinking, wondering why Jackie and Chris are sitting in an empty
tub...

Your suit is such a wonderful shade of read, Choc... 8^)

I'll just stand over here and guard/dispense the towels

Cat falls through a hole in the ceiling and lands with a splash!
Disgruntled, he shoots out of a nearby window and vanishes.

    
    
    
    Hey who drained all the water..and why is my head so sore??!!!
    
    
    Chris
    :)

    Chris,
    
    You drained all the water when you splashed it everywhere!  S'OK..I
    filled it again, but that poor cat got soaked into the bargain!
    
    CM, What you doing reading my suit? Huh?  
    
    Jackie

The water must have been cold... it was in braille! <blush> 8^)

CM

    
    
    re -1
    
    bad boy!!!
    
    Chris
    :)

    A good book should be read over and over until fully understood. I'll
    be at this one for a long time 8^)
    
    CM

    
    GASP!
    
    
    
    ;-)
    
    Jackie
    
    

    I knew I should have warmed up my reading hands...
    
    8^)
    

    
    
    Chris fills up the tub with lots of steaming hot water and gets the
    jets going......
    
    
    >sPlAsH<...slips into the tub.....
    
    
    	>AAaaaaaaaaHHHHhhhh!<
    
    
    Chris
    :)

    Smiles and Joins Chris in the tub..
    
    Ahh.. I needed this!!!
    
    H

    
    
    Chris splashes the Holl-meistress and ducks under water....
    

CM sneaks in and grabs the towels and clothes...

The smell of the Tabu overwhelms him and he rushes back and apologies.

Trying to avoid being splashed, I hold up the clothes...

Cm

    
    
    
    hey..that was exciting!! hehehehehe
    
    Chris splashes CM anyhow....( what did ya come back for? hehehehe)
    
    

Trying to avoid the splashes... 

I didn't put DOWN the clothes yet... 8^)

Since it's soooo hot in here due to the water temp, I strip down and climb in
(being careful to splash Chris in the process)

    Holly dodges Chris's splashes and ducks under the water .. she grabs his
    ankles and pulls him under with her.
    
    She then sits up and begins splashing Coreman!
    
    H

Coming seemingly out of thin air, Holly is surprised by the initial blast from a
fresh can of silly string...

CM wonders why Chris isn't fighting 8^)

    
    
    
    Chris is enjoying this too much too fight it!
    
    Chris wonders where the can was hidden! :))
    

CM stops long enough to enjoy his lacy artwork on Holly and awaits....


retribution from the Godesserator!


A booming voice declares...


"Do you have a death wish, mortal"

    
    
    
    >Chris ducks under the water<
    
    then decides to make a quick exit.......
    
    >ViP...........<
    

CM smiles to himself. He always thought the Ventriliquist lessons would come in
handy 8^)

CM

    
    
    
    Chris Peeks in and watches CM playing with his silly string. :))
    
    

You may think it silly... I think it's pretty!

CM

    
    It seems that I missed a big party!! _)
    
    
    But know I can enjoy it alone!!!
    
    :-))))

    Ravi.

Wake up Tina, it's morning again! Better watch out or I'll find my silly
string...

CM

    Holly wakes from a deep sleep, only to find herself covered with silly
    string ..
    
    "CM!!  I'll get you for this!!"
    
    She begins splashing him uncontrollably.
    
    H

    
    
    Morning again? I can't believe!! :-)))
    
    
    Let's stay in another night! :-)))))
    
    
    
    Tina

I laugh cheerfully and watch as the silly string gets splashed all over the
room. Now Tina seems to be wearing a good bit of it as well...

Here Holly, let me help you get free from all that silly string...

<SPRITZZZZZZZZZZZZZ> (sure is nice of Chico to stock old fashioned seltzer
bottles 8^)

HAHAHAhahaha

    Couldn't resist this hot tub.  It's sooo.. cold here.  And as luck
    would have it this morning, my car heater failed, had to drive to work
    with the window open to keep it clear.  Car goes in on Monday.  
    
    Nice bubbles - champagne would be nice, chocolates, etc.
    
    Nice quiet relaxing soak...

    Marilyn
    After I've finished here I'm a headin for the pool!

    Chico,
    
    What happened to your car heater.  Mine magically began to work
    perfectly Friday evening, so I never did take it to the shop.  More
    money for Christmas.
    
    Cheers,
    Marilyn  

Hi Marilyn,

I had a heater fail like that once. It was ice in the line that kept the hot
water from getting into the heater core. Sitting in the lot after it had been
driven made it thaw out. The thing is, if your antifreeze is weak enough to
let this happen, you need to get it looked at/changed so you don't freeze it
worse and do some real damage next time.

Good afternoon.

Jim

    
    
    	My heater doesn't work because I removed the thermostat when I
    put the new head on. I had bought everything except a new thermostat
    so I didn't bother to put it back in. Kinda wish I had now.....:)
    
    	jim

    
    
    
    Bet that makes for pretty frosty mornings on the drive to work on real
    cold days......assuming you know what a real cold day is like.....I
    have a sister in Texas and she says it is real cold when it goes below
    70.....must be hard to take huh....:-)
    
    Craig
    
    

My parents in Florida still have their New England winter coats and wear them
whenever it gets to 60F.

Yeah, thermostats are nice accessories...

    
    
    
    YIKES!!
    
    thank god for warm water soaks!!
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    	thank gawd I'm not a carpenter anymore...:*)

    Thanks for the info Jim.  I'll have it looked at.
    
    Marilyn

    RE: NO THERMOSTAT
    
    If your not wide awake when you get in the car, you will be by the time
    you get to work.  OH, I hate cold cars - I just plain hate the cold. 
    Gotta put my ski suit on, warm booties and mitties to stand it.
    
    I always look forward to spring, walking out of the office with nothin
    but the clothes on my back and a smile on my face.  None of this get
    your boots, coat etcetera etcetera
    
    Marilyn

    
    	I like the cold as long as I can dress for it. I hate getting
    caught in the cold in less than adequate clothing....
    
    
    chico

    CHICO,
    
    Re: Carpentry not being your profession.  Good move Chico, although
    have you ever noticed that some carpenters are missing fingers/thumbs?
    
    Marilyn

    HEY CHICO!
    
    You like the cold and you like shovelling.  WHAT ARE YOU...PART ESKIMO
    OR JUST HOT BLOODED?
    
    Marilyn
    (ICE IN MY VEINS)

    
    I love the cold too, especially when it stays on the outside of the
    house.  -)
    
    Ann
    

I like it warm. just like this snarfy hot tub!

    Cold on the outside of the house - where it belongs.  Came home a couple
    years ago last winter to discover heat was off in the house.  Luckily,
    the franklin stove heated things up enough to prevent a complete
    freeze.  I think if it was a few more hours and the house would have
    been in the deep freeze.  Then your into mega bucks with spliting
    pipes.  From then on, I always had a neighbour check on the house.
    
    Marilyn

    
    Now that's not good.  I lived in this house once that felt like you
    were outside.  It was horrible.  Don't ever want to do that again.
    I'll take some heat thank you.
    
    Ann
    

    Ann,
    
    My best friend keeps her house cold to save money on heating.  When I
    go to visit, I have to dress for it - tights under the jeans, cozy
    sweaters.  She and her family have becme climatized to it.  I don't
    think I could ever become that accustomed to the cold.  I like warmth,
    hot tubs, balmy summer weather.  My mom is the exact opposite, she's
    always warm.  It's always interesting when the two of us are in the
    same house.  Thermostat up...thermostat down...
    
    Marilyn  

    
    I know what you mean, but,  I don't like it real hot, can't take it.
    I always sleep with a window partialy open.
    I feel it's easier to keep warm than it is to keep cool.
    
    Ann
    

>    I feel it's easier to keep warm than it is to keep cool.

I've always found that to be the case. Rather warm in here at the moment...

    
    Why at the moment CM? -;)
    
    

I seem to be warm considering all the snowperson talk...

    >>I feel it's easier to keep warm than it is to keep cool.

    Here's some snow to cool you down Jim.  Don't abuse it!
    
    I don't personally every remember being too warm.
    
    Marilyn
    

    Ever so quietly sneakin into the tub.
    
    AH.  This outa warm me up after car heater fiasco this morning. 
    Brought a nice hot toddy, properly doctored from the CAFE note.
    
    Marilyn

Pssstttt! Over hear. MUCH warmer hands...

AAAAAAhhhhhhhhh....... Much better. Best be careful not to get any hot sauce on
those delicate tissues...

Wake me when I'm wrinkled (ok, let me sleep a LITTLE bit 8^)

    SHRIVELLED YET?
    
    MR

You'll have to check 8^)

    What that hot water does to ones brain!
    
    MR

"I'm gonna wash that brain right outta my head..." 8^)

Time to dry off and drive off...

CommuterMan

This is a much better place to be....in this lovely greenhouse room with a 
steaming hot tub...watching the snow fall down while...

    
    Just thought I'd take a luxurious dip in here
    
    Jackie_relaxing

You can come over here in the hot tub to warm up if you'd like 8^)

    Just gonna soak and get wrinkly in here for a while
    
    Jackie

    OK, time to get out and get ready to go home...
    
    Jackie

    So here I am... came down for a good relaxing soak... dont know why but
    I kinda expected some company........

    SSSSSSPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Me too!

I'll be asleep over here. The tickling plum wore me out 8^)

    
    Well... some company at last.. isnt this fun splashing around
    together..

I'm enjoying the scenery 8^)

    
    You like my bathing suit ?????? ;-)
    
    
    
    Shelley

We're supposed to wear suits?? 8^)

    
    Birthday suits are acceptable ;-)
    
    
    
    
    
    

Mines a bit wrinkled. Needs a good pressing I suppose...

    
    Must be the water thats making it wrinkled ;-)
    
    
    
    
    Shelley

And a bit threadbare in places due to age...

    
    Wear and Tear is only natural.....
    
    
    
    
    
    Shelley

    Serenity has been worn, torn, ridden hard and put up wet.

    
    Ridden hard eh.... arent you the lucky one ;-)
    
    
    
    

    Most of the time!
    
    Serenity laughs merrily

CM is seen grinning and listening

    Hmm...this is a family tub....no pressing in here folks! ;-)
    
    Jackie

    I didn't even bring an iron!

    
    Pressing... no need Jackie, theres plenty of space without us pressing
    up against each other ;-)

I'll make a point of it 8^)

    No, let me! Let me!

I'll let you lend a hand...

    
    Hey.. what can I do to help....
    

    You can lend another hand!

    
    Oh.. what a good idea.. thanks serenity ;-)

    I always try to be a helpful little thing.

No more wrinkles 8^)

    Serenity giggles.

    Now I see the women are winning ....
    
    
    
    2-1 in points.
    
    (SPLASH)
    
    I am in, worn, wrinkled and very sticky from the mud.
    
    Dave

CM raises a glass in toast and greeting. May your afternoon go well.

    
    Getting rather hot in here.....
    

Good to see Michelle has the day off and Shelley can come out and play 8^)

    
    Ooh Jim.. giving my secrets away ;-)
    
    
    
    
    
    Shelley

Nope! I want them all for myself 8^)

    
    Michelle has been magicked away for the afternoon.. shelley's having so
    much fun she just might stick around ;-)

We hope so. We missed her 8^)

    Serenity irons out a few wrinkles, then lays back, submerging herself,
    her hair a silken silver web across the bubbling water.

Nessie is sighted crossing the serene sea and disappears again into the dark
depths...

    Serenity plucks Nessie from the waters and gives her a little shake.
    
    "Be a good little sea monster or it's back to the cold old loch for
    you, missie."

    
    
    I'll bet Nessie would love do go into the lochs :))))
    

There be magick in those underwater caves...

    My monster loves exploring undersea caves...
    
    
    Watch out Shelley and Serenity.
    
    
    Dave 
    
    

    Serenity *is* the magick!

    Serenity work some of that majick over here...
    
    How about a nice drink to start of a beautiful morning. 
    
    Come over here and snuggle a while.
    
    Dave
    

    Serenity cuddles up to Dave companionably. "Hi there"

    Hello Serenity, 
    
    Long time no snuggle...
    
    
    Dave

    Yes, Dave, much too long! Am I doing this right?
    
    (grin)

    Yes, but snuggle even closer.  Perhaps we can get two bodies to occupy
    one space.
    
    Dave

    Serenity is no fool ... she snuggles closer

    And Dave is no fool either, embracing the lovely Serenity and snuggling
    is such a wonderful way to relax... I am loose almost all over... but
    
    Dave

    
    An old song.

    explain to them that they should try and interelate with the group more
    and actively make themself a team-member, instead of a one-man band....

    Got layed (TFSO) off in October of 1994 while working at CXO3. 
    Unemployed for about 6 months, then worked for a company in Seattle,
    Washington for 6 months, and unemployed for about 5 months.  Son
    number one died in Mid November, so I was home then.  I would really 
    rather be unemployed than lose a child.  It gets better, and working
    helps.
    
    Contractor again.

    My regrets about your son, Dave! :-(
    
    Hopefully, CA'll realize that what they're doin's cuttin' their own
