Good Morning Friends. It's murky and muggy here in the usually comfy mountains and back to work after a holiday weekend...ugh...oh well...

I wish everyone a beautiful, blissful day wherever they are. Facebook says it's "chocolate day" so that can't be ALL bad, right??!!

I googled it....
Chocolate Day


When : Always July 7th

Chocolate Day is the perfect opportunity to eat you favorite chocolates in ample portions. Do you really need another excuse to over indulge with your favorite food treat?

Chocolate is America's favorite flavor. It's the flavor of choice in candies, ice cream, cakes, breakfast cereal, toppings, and a whole host of desserts. Unequaled in popularity, it certainly deserves a day in it's honor.

Did you know? Chocolate is a vegetable. It comes from the Cacao tree found in rainforests.

We don't need to tell you what to do to celebrate this day, do we? Eat Chocolate

Good Morning Donna

Sounds good to me Let's all celebrate chocolate day!

some chocolate cake



and some chocolate kisses



Have a wonderful day everyone

Good morning Donna, Judy and all to come. I like it! Chocolate Day - I'll be sure to eat some today. Speaking of Chocolate - item #10 comes with chocolate, and he is made of mohair.

Kristi, how was your weekend? Any pictures of the diving?

Good morning all!!! CHOCOLATE!!!
I have some chocolate coffee that I add to my reg. coffee, it makes it taste like Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate!!!

Morning PS. Did Calypso have any of your supper last night?

Morning all of you.

I'll HAVE to get chocolate when I am out and about today.

We lost power last night about 9:00 and got it back on about 4:00 this morning. Was nice sleeping with the windows open with the rain, though. But that was some terrific lightening and thunder. The one that got the power felt like an earthquake the way it shook the ground. They predict more strong storms this afternoon. Yesterday there were gusts to 70mph and hail in some places in Tampa Bay.

OK, just came on to watch for signs of the "gang" on the Bonaire cams.

Have a great one, everybody!

Morning BT Peeps How fitting that it is chocolate day. We had to work our guys part of the Holiday weekend but guess which customer it was? Guess?

Hershey!!! LOL

Motor is back and the line is running again. It was a roller motor for the final leg of the plain chockie bars. Life in chocolate world is back to normal as of Saturday evening I love them as a customer!!!

Good thing you got them up and running for today!!! The world would be at a stand-still!!!

Calypso didn't get any of my dinner last nite!! Well, George gave him and Spice some, but none disappeared from the counter!! I've been making those things every Sunday for weeks now. It's just so good!!

So, Kobi, what are in YOUR plans for the day??? G told me something last nite, but I don't remember what...something about how we use those vouchers...ANYWAY, it's getting done!!

Can you believe the chocolate motors we have been fixing?! OK so THEY aren't chocolate but the customer is....LOL I'm thankful to have them as a good customer and they were OVERLY happy with our performance this weekend. Makes me feel good and my guys as well for a job well done. Let the chocolate flow LOL!

I'm coming to your house for dinner sometime, PS Actually when I do finally get my tail to town dinner is on ME!!!

My plans, for today, are gonna involve a telly call to my travel agent cause Rob and I are planning on going somewhere with someone special peeps LOL!

Whew it surely feels like a Monday and I, too, slept okay. 'Till 3 and let the girls out and then amazingly fell right back to sleep. Must have been that Ben & Jerry's LOL!

I promise to call you later today, PS

Morning Kobi! Thank goodness y'all fixed the Hershey machine!! What would we do without those chocolate bars? I'm adding some Godiva chocolate to go along with Choc-O-Late!

Morning, Linda I might have to go by the plant this week and thank them for the business and grab a few bars for myself LOL! Used to be you couldn't take anything out of the plant but you could eat all you wanted while you were there.

Can y'all see m now? Wonder how many kisses I can cram into my mouth!?!?! LMAO

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We had a nice long weekend in the forest of Northern Arizona. And I have the mosquito bites to prove it!

Mmmmmmm, chocolate. I don't need an excuse to eat it, but I'll take it anyway.

Morning, Brad!! Glad you had a great Holiday weekend. We did here & not looking forward to working a full week this week

Glad you're back on duty; I'm not good at the weekend MPT shift

Oh, Brad, you are gonna hear it now!! You are NEVER allowed to go away for weekends again!! You are to be here at all times!!!!LOL
Tell him Kobi....

Hey, PS....can you take a call now?

You can go look at how long the threads got!! We were just goin', had no guidance...it was rough!!LOL

Yep, from now own you gotta make sure somebody covers your shift

Why, certainly!!! Call ME!!

It was pretty much a hormonal train wreck at one point, Brad LOL!

Let me check w/ my secretary...Oh, she says I'm booked all morning and can't take any calls...Just call my direct line, I'll talk to you!! She's fired!!!

Well if there were hormones involved, I'm glad I was MIA.

What is SHE doing back here?? I fired her MONTHS ago!!! What was her name, Lucinda??LOL

116 posts...OH...MY....G...........aqwerp[dmV"DC:sf












Sorry, just passed out and had to get up again and wipe the drool off the keyboard.

Kobi, I don't have a secretary....You CAN call me!

morning all

Brad, glad you had a nice time camping. We used to camp a lot with in the San Bernadino Mountains when the kids were little. Our friends from AZ were here, and LOVED the nice weather...guess it's a bit "hot" over there?

uhg, having a hard time getting going this morning...my legs are STILL so sore i can barely walk!

Hope Patrick peeps in to let us know what happened!

Morning Brad and Cynde.
I feel much better now that I've had my two Hershey's milk chocolate Nuggets. I'll have two more after lunch.
Brad, sounds like you had a great time. Camping is lots of fun.
Cynde, didn't you get a massage last night??? Loved the Matt dance. We all have to put a Matt dance together.

Linda, no massage...michael's back is still not good, so he's a hurtin' unit as well and has NO sympathy for me! lol! I do think of you often with the "porta potty thighs"....it ain't funny!

Matt dance, i showed michael and he was just like "omg, you put that on youtube?" yeppooo...

Cynde, I think that Michael needs to do the dance, too. Might not happen with his back hurting, but it would be fun.

Brad, LOL!

Morning west coast peep, BC!!! Hope your sea legs get better soon.

PS, I promise I'm calling. Got a few emergency phone calls; none of them chocolate this time though LOL!

Linda, I don't think so...on michael doing the dance...he can barely walk

I thought maybe you were thinkin' "Pegi's talkin' about Lucinda again...she didn't take her meds!! I'm not calling HER!!!!"

  I forgot about your old useless secretary LOL! I actually employ one of those as well; she's even off today!

I just got an email from some people, Steve and Glory, who just got back from Bonaire...they found this there and sent me a pic!!!! They googled the name and found me!!

I put it up in Feb. when I was on island...I've been wondering if it was still there!!!

Good Morning, Good Morning!!!!!! (sing it with me folks!)

Before I even finished reading the thread I ran to the kitchen and grab a chocolate covered spoon to put in my coffee ---- not looking forward to the sugar crash in about an hour!

We have fog and 40% humidity here but it's a short lived break. Once it burns off it's supposed to get HOT and DRY (so much for the monsoonal moisture they spoke of).

PS that picture is GREAT!!!

I think it's so funny that us SoCal girls are fighting over a sweatshirt on the auction --- HaHa!!! Must be global warming

Boom, I could use that sweatshirt here in Sunny Florida. It is so cold here at work. I can't imagine what the AC bill is. I'm having hot soup for lunch today. brrrrrrrrr

Bon Tarde all.

Boom glad to hear about the humidity, more would be better. Great job Guy, pump that water. Also cool to hear about the DC-10, I always though a wide body could kick some fire butt. Now where are the 747's or C-5A's, we retire hundreds every year. Imagine how much water they could carry.

Cool picture PegiSue.

I think we should follow through on the Matt dance idea. Weirder things have done more.

Weirder things?? What, BOB??LOL
I am not coordinated enough to do that dance. It looks like a simple dance, but I've tried, can't do it!! I'll just let yall do it, and I'll laugh right along with you!!

Noooo way PS --- it's not about doing the same dance as Matt. It's about doing your own dance and spreading the joy!!!

I'm definitely going to do it. Cecil, I can almost see the lighthouse in the background while you shimmy

PS - have a little wine and you can do it. We were trying it last night before we lost power. Gotta pick where to do it for real!

Pegi - that picture is so cool, and ever cooler that they took the time to google it and let you know! I'll look for it next week.

So the big guy still hasn't checked in, huh?

Hey Tom - are you out there??
You were supposed to spill some beans yesterday.

It's early for a drink but hey, what the heck. I'm at work and work for myself LOL!

Kathy, can you do another split for us?! I'm amazed at your flexibility; then you can do the Matt dance too. Then you'd have kind of a cheer routine or something going on LOL!

Hi everyone! Glad you all had good weekends...at least I hope you did, I just did a quick skim over. If I missed anything, I am sorry.

Linda..we had a good weekend, thank you.
Did get a few pix of some underwater statues they had. I thought my daighter would get a kick out of them. We had a paddle fish swim right up to us but I was so shocked, I didnt get a shot. Silly HUH! LOL

PegiSue.....that, girlfriend, is an awesome picture!!!! I love it............

I'm plugging in my cell phone LOL!

Hi Kristi. Glad you had a good time over the weekend. I checked out the website you posted for your Saturday dives and saw a photo of a paddle fish. Are they usually a shy fish?

LOL!!!!

What is this? Are we giving Brad the day off with pay?

Get chatting!

Hey - MIA is Kelly and Lisa B. It's been ages since they've posted. It's been FOREVER since we've seen Riley's smile. Sigh...... They just don't like us anymore.

(Message edited by ski9413 on July 7, 2008)

Gail, you are right!! Time to give Kelly a nudge on Facebook

PS, having a really bad storm here. It hailed earlier and that was just beyond crazy so we'll chat again very soon. Cell phone is still charging as I left the charger at home and I called from work....DUH moment on my part!

I didn't get answers today, that I needed, as my TA chick is still on vacay so will buzz you tomorrow if that's ok. Tell Lucinda to put my call through LOL!

No day off for me today!
