3:33 up and made it tonight.....

[WCGreen]

[KitchenWitch]

1. Hi WC!

I am not asleep either

[WCGreen]

9. Well if you were, it would be some trick now wouldn't it...

[KitchenWitch]

13. no kidding

[Heidi]

2. Who else from the night shift is here?

(Hi, KitchenWitch and WC!)

[texanwitch]

3. I am here.

[Heidi]

5. Hi, texanwitch!

[texanwitch]

8. HI, Heidi, is it tomorrow there yet ?

[Heidi]

12. It's 9:48 a.m., Sunday morning.

Shaping up to be a beautiful day!

[texanwitch]

33. Well, it is 2:48 am here and I am sitting outside enjoying the cooler

night air, I do like my laptop. I should be tired but I am not so I just hanging out on DU.

[WCGreen]

10. How's the heat in Texas

I heard from a friend of mine that people are just busting into flames fdown your way

[texanwitch]

21. It's just the same old August heat, nothing to bad. This summer really

hasn't been that hot, or I am getting used to it. I cut the grass today, but I did wait until 7:30 in the evening.

This summer I don't think we broke 100 once, and we might have a early fall. I hope so.

[WCGreen]

25. My bud says he hangs out at some lake north of the city...

He's in Commercial Real Estate....

Lot of little strip malls all over the Houston Area

[texanwitch]

48. I think you are talking about Lake Houston, I used to fish there alot.

I haven't been there for a few years, haven't had the time to go.

I am hoping to go to Washington in September for big protest, I have a place to stay, now I am working on the plane ticket, might get a free pass though some connections.

[WCGreen]

56. Thinking about going as well........

But I have to wear o2 and It might get dicey in the middle of a protest....

[texanwitch]

71. The protest might get a little crazy, but I got to go.

I am going for 6 days, and taking lots photos and videos, and do a little site seeing. If enough of us show up, that will help. It can't be worse the The Battle of Halliburton here in Houston, I had a Houston cop try to slam me into a wall with his horse. He missed.

I am battle tested.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Hello Heidi

(would have said "Hi Heidi" but it sounded to stuttery LOL)

[Heidi]

6. It's better than "Howdy, Heidi!"

[KitchenWitch]

7. OMG that is just....wrong

[WCGreen]

15. Now wouldn;t that be that is wrong, eh from up your way

[WCGreen]

11. Hey, did you see the proposterously pretentious

thing I said about your art....

[Heidi]

14. I thought it was a nice comment, WC.

(Thank you.) I replied here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[WCGreen]

17. Missed it, Blush Blush.....

so much talent, aw shucks....

[enigmatic]

16. What up?

I didbn't even make it past midnight last night; I'm getting lazy..

[Heidi]

18. Hi, my friend!

[enigmatic]

27. Hey Heidi!

Doing the car shopping thing; it's been years since I've done it, and it's exausting..

[Heidi]

30. Exhausting, yes . . .

but kind of exciting, too, isn't it? My next car will be a Smart:

[enigmatic]

40. We saw a couple of those today!

One was a ragtop, too; when we do the full-time RV thing that would be perfect for a tow car..

[texanwitch]

55. Cool looking car, I like the design.

[Heidi]

57. And here's the cool thing . . .

There's an electric version. And you can park a Smart nearly _anywhere_ (they're _that_ small). My kind of car.

[texanwitch]

66. How small,. I have never seen a small car look that cool. Does it

come with a backseat. It would have to have one for it to be popular here, we tend to pack around a lot of stuff in our cars.

It could be a nice second car for trips around the city, save a lot on gas with the electric version.

Gas is getting expensive here, little cars like that one have a future.

[Heidi]

68. They're not yet available in the US, BUT

they're coming. Check out this article:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5217861/

[texanwitch]

72. Thanks for the link.

[texanwitch]

75. Wow, one day soon the US will have little cars like this on our streets,

the price of gas will demand it. A lot of people I know are really hurting with the price of gas going up.

[WCGreen]

22. Yea, well I had a hell of a night (good)

Went to a twenty fifth wedding thing in Berea,
Went to a political meeting, hush hush insider shit...
Stopped at my little sis's house and laughed out loud as we watched the last terminator movie.... It's hilarious.....

And as for you, how are you coming on after the accident?

[enigmatic]

28. For the most part, ok

she's a little worse than I am, but we're both ok. Looking for a car this weekend, and it's a looooooooooong proccess..

[WCGreen]

44. Yea. I haven't had to do that for a while.......

I'm not that into cars...

Reliable, not rusty and easy on the gas....
That's about it for me....

[enigmatic]

63. I don't have a drivers licence

haven't had one since I was 16; I've always biked everywhere or took the Big Limo (otherwise known as the city bus or Geryhound), so this is an almost-first..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. CaliforniaPeggy checking in!

Good to see all of you very cool night-time DU'ers!

WC, KitchenWitch, enigmatic, Heidi...did I miss anyone? Droopy? Is he here?

Argh...

Anyway, from all around the globe ..... here we are!

[Heidi]

20. ((((( Peggy )))))

Isn't it nice to have the gang together in one quiet thread?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Yes, it sure is!

Times like this one are truly magical...I can almost see all of us, sitting at our computers, and then I feel the net of community cover us all, and bind us together like the huge family we truly are...

{{{{Heidi}}}}}} love ya, my sister!

[KitchenWitch]

23. I saw Droopy a little earlier

Hi Peggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Oh good...

I'm always so glad you are here, my dear KitchenWitch!

We are all part of the very special DU Lounge Night Association!

[KitchenWitch]

51. It is a small but wonderful group!

I am so glad to be part of it!

[WCGreen]

32. Hey peg.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Hey back atcha, my dear WC!

Always good to chat with you, any old time...

[WCGreen]

47. Well, 4:02 in the AM is getting old.....

I have to get to sleep....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. Sleep soundly and welll...let no harmful dreams disturb

your gentle rest...

[Heidi]

53. Sweet dreams, friend.

[WCGreen]

61. Thank you....

And have a great day.....

I know you will

[enigmatic]

42. Hey Peggy!

Drop any F-Bombs I'm not aware of today?

[WCGreen]

50. Good one E good one

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. Hey there enigmatic!

Not that I'm aware of, lolol....but I might have, and forgotten them!

I know for sure that I thought about doing just that...but I believe I did restrain myself...

The Lounge has had enough shocks lately, don't you think?

Good to see you, as always!

[enigmatic]

59. I haven't been around alot the past couple of days

So I missed the excitement

[MrScorpio]

24. The nights belongs to WCGreen

[Heidi]

26. I just wanted to tell you, Mr. Scorpio . . .

that I love the work you posted from your graphic novel. You're very, very good.

[WCGreen]

29. What did I miss................

I knew the big guy wrote but how did I miss this....

I am sooo Sorry...

I love the graphic novels

Mr. Scorpio has the right tude for that.....

[Heidi]

34. Here.

He's _excellent_!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[WCGreen]

38. Yea, and I posted on that thread....

Sometimes the long threads are missed when I am working and posting at the same time

I am allover it tonight

[MrScorpio]

31. That's just a taste

I've decided to add a nice prologue before that.

I want the background to be perfectly clear



Then, I'll bring the surprises

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Indeed it does, MrScorpio....

Especially this night...

[MrScorpio]

52. O, Peg... Another place and time...

With some hot oil and ropes...

Oh sigh!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. Hmmm...

*um* MrScorpio..."hot oil and ropes" ???? You have LOST me, sir!

Care to clarify?

Either here, or PM....

[MrScorpio]

60. I'll leave it to your imagination

Because I'm mysterious like that

[CaliforniaPeggy]

70. Oh what have we here?

A big tease!

Well, I want to tell you that I have a very vivid imagination...

But it isn't always right...

You can certainly be mysterious...but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen this time...

*sigh*

[Robeson]

36. I'm here, becaue Heidi told me to be here....

...

[Heidi]

37. That's because . . .

I wasn't gonna plod all the way over to some "other" thread to give you your hug!

So, here:

[Robeson]

43. Thanks, I needed that. I really did....

...

[Heidi]

46. You're more than welcome.

Cue up Whitney Houston CD _now_.

[Robeson]

62. Oh yeah, I think I'll do that the next time I cue up a Britney Spears...

...or Paula Abdul CD. I just love pre-packaged products....

[Heidi]

64. A quiet evening at home . . .

listening to Paula Abdul while eating a TV dinner. Life just doesn't get much better, does it?

[Robeson]

67. Absolutely......

...and that will allow me to practice my dance routines with Paula and Britney, while working on my yodeling with Whitney. Damn, what a night....

[Heidi]

69. You crack me up, Robeson.

In fact, I'm in such a great mood that I think I'll go bleach my red hair blond, so that I have a shot at becoming a hot young leading lady. Why, with pre-packaged botox injections and Pilates workouts, I could probably eventually pass for "young."

[Robeson]

73. Lets do it!!!.....

...I'll be your manager. Just sing alot of songs that say "oooohh, oooooh, oooooh. Baby, baby, baby, baby, your so sweet, and I love you", and I'm telling you, we'll make millions! The world is our oyster! Lets not let it go by....

[Heidi]

74. But I'll need to get a bunch of those cute little

accessories for The Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger, as he'll be my constant companion. You know, stuff like this: http://www.happytailpets.com/sub_dept.asp?deptid=Tiaras...

Ginger has always wanted a tiara, and I believe that under proper management, I will be able to make his dreams come true.

[Robeson]

76. No problem. We'll just fire some of the extras so that your....

...pumpkins can enjoy the good life too....

[WCGreen]

65. Just want to say......

It is sooooo great to be surrounded by such talented and wonderful people....

Everyone, I was going through that art link and let me tell, I am humbled by all the talent on DU........

And even though it is virtual, I feel at home, for the first time in many years....

It's almost like being on a college campus again, the challenges over in the "other" rooms and the frivolity's and caring in the loungue...

Thank you all for making my days and nights ever so better......

Good night Mrs. Kalabash, Where ever you are....
