'friends' finale

I'm having a few friends over to watch this finale.
Nothing fancy - chicken wings, veggies & dip, cheesecake
and of course, wine.

Ah yes, that is tonight, isn't it? Quesadillas here.
Assorted cheeses, shredded chicken, salsa and queso, beer
and wine. And, saying goodbye to "Friends" 🙂 I wasn't a
religious follower but I do have to say, it's been a pretty
good series.

Where's the coffee? Don't they get together in a
coffee house?

I'm one of the few that has never seen the show so I'm not
going to start now. From the snippets I've seen, I don't
think I missed anything. Ed [email hidden]

Damn, we forgot the coffee.

I do think though, a large part of the appeal is that it
brought friends families together for at least one night
of 'togetherness'. My youngest daughter was only 12 when
this series began. A lot happens in 10 years and I think
we all felt that last night as we watched.

So it's an end of an era - for that reason I'll miss it!

Finally, someone else who never felt the need. I also never
saw or got into Seinfeld. Both were a waste of time to me
and I'm glad they're over. Fraiser is another show, that I
have watched in the past, but has long past it's shelf life.
Raymond too.

Everything that's hyped is overhyped, and the Friends finale
was no exception. I wasn't interested at all when the show
first started. It was wildly popular, and, typical for me,
I'm never interested in anything that's wildly popular--
until it's past prime, overcooked and a done deal. Then I
get curious. (NOW I'm a Beatles fan.) After 10 years, I
started watching and wanted to catch up on the reruns.

Part of the appeal for me was in the lack of Hollywood
scandal behind the scenes. There was the bit about
prescription drug addiction, but there's been no backbiting
and nastiness between the stars themselves. They appear to
be good friends. There's something refreshing in that.

I didn't even tape it. Last night was my 30 yrs awards
dinner sponsered by my company. I ate in a swanky hotel
along with about 100 other people. Got free liquor, a
resonable meal and forgot to set up the machine before I
went to it.

Make that three. I've probably watched no more than 5
episodes in all the years Friends was on the tube. Seinfeld
& Fraiser....Probably watched more of those since moving to
Central America than I ever did in the US....simply because
we only have three English language stations so choice is
limited. Friends is here also..but about a year or so behind
the US networks.

Big Congrats on 30 years. The longest I've lasted with one
company is 10 years. I've also had a few jobs that didn't
last more than 2 dayze before I was outta there.

It pays to stick it out. I became eligible for an early
retirement (80 Factor) after 28 years with the same
outfit. I handed in my resignation a few weeks ago and am
retiring at the end of June. I have been paying my son's
tuition and rent while he is at university. The difference
in pay between my working wage and my pension rate is less
than I have been paying for him. I will end up with a
virtual raise.

29 working days to go. :-)

mother, and would be joining her in Paris in a few days.
