[KitchenWitch]

1. Hallo!

:hi:

How is your Monday so far?

[Heidi]

8. Hi, KW!

It's OK. I'm running a little late this morning. Ginger needed "extra attention." How're you?

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

10. Pretty good.

I have been casting a net of mischief far and wide. :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

24. I don't doubt that for one minute.

:rofl: Did I miss any good spankins? :evilgrin: Where's SeattleGirl?

[KitchenWitch]

28. She was here earlier...

hmmm

:evilgrin:

There were tons of good spankins, and WE ALL got a room...a big room!

[Wapsie B]

2. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

9. Mr. Iowa!

:hug: How was your weekend, friend? :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

14. Pretty good.

Can't complain. How was yours my friend?

:loveya:

[Heidi]

29. It was a pretty good weekend!

A friend in the US sent me some cool new tunes to listen to while I'm painting, and weather was beautiful, and I just about finished a new portrait. :thumbsup: It doesn't get much better than that!

[Wapsie B]

37. No it doesn't.

Sounds like heaven to me.

[TimeChaser]

3. Heidi!

I should never have taken a history class... :banghead:

[Heidi]

11. Do you hate it?

I'd love to have time to take the history class of my choice! What's givin' you fits about your history class, gf? :hug:

[TimeChaser]

13. The pure memorization of facts and dates

Honestly, this class is reminding me why I'm a science major.

[Heidi]

22. Isn't it interesting that you're forced to memorize

dates, etc?`(Thought that's at least somewhat important, I think really learning concepts is more important. :shrug: )

[Floogeldy]

4. Buenos dias, Senora!

Como esta su refrigeradore?

;)

[Heidi]

12. If you want to discuss my refrigerator,

you'll need to send me a PM. :rofl: :spray:

[Floogeldy]

18. What I really want to know . . .

Seriously.

Why is grocery shopping such a pain for you? I'm sad to know that. Going to the supermarket can be a fun and relaxing thing in Jokelahoma.

You've mentioned it several times and I'm wondering why you dread it so? I wish it were different for you. :(

[Heidi]

26. Well, you're a big sweetie, Floog,

and since you asked, here is a brief synopsis of why I loathe grocery shopping:

- Sensory overload. Too many people, too many languages, too many products labeled in too many "foreign" languages.
- Those mini-shopping carts for kids, which ride perfectly up over my heels when operated improperly.
- Underground parking. It doesn't freak me out, but I really, really don't like underground parking.

On the other hand, I _do_ very much enjoy talking to people I meet in the supermarket, and I like being able to come home with "surprises" for Ginger and Call Me Wesley. :thumbsup:

:hug: :loveya:

[PittPoliSci]

5. hello!

what's shakin'?

[Heidi]

15. It's a little early here for shakin',

but gimme another cup of coffee and my hands will be shakin' a little. :rofl:

How ya doin', PittPoliSci? :hi:

[PittPoliSci]

34. pretty good.

won my first hockey game of the season tonight, actually finished my school work.

things are lookin' up. time for bed now though! have a good one!

[Heidi]

38. Sweet dreams, then.

:pals: And congrats on that hockey game! :thumbsup

[enigmatic]

6. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

What weird day/night; woke up to find a wrestling legend had passed on. NSMA taking a break from DU, both the Browns and the Roughriders losing big, and it's starting to snow......

How are you, Wesley, and the kittys?

[Heidi]

17. Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ënvy, envy, envy! We've had snow sky since last night, but nothin' yet. :(

Yeah, yesterday was _really_ weird, and I had weird dreams, to boot. You OK?

Call Me Wesley and Ginger are sawin' logs. They're not morning people by any stretch of the imagination. :rofl:

[enigmatic]

23. I'm fine

Just ome of those days were the balance everywhere was noticeably out of whack; I put on my mala just a few minutes ago and I'm doing much better:)

[Heidi]

30. Right on!

I get a good measure of comfort from mine, as well, enigmatic, so I know exactly what you mean. :hug:

[auntAgonist]

7. present and accounted for ..

I think :)

hiya Heidi et al, hope you're all doing well.

[Heidi]

19. Honey, how are you?

:hug: :* :bounce:

The Nighthawks thread lights up like Christmas when you drop by. Any improvement? Feelin' better? I've missed you, gf! :loveya:

[auntAgonist]

25. you're too kind!

I'm doing ok, still quite weak and can't seem to get enough sleep. Dr will run more blood work this week. For the most part, I'm better.

:loveya: Heidi, you're a dear friend.

[Heidi]

31. Awwww, aA!

I'll send ya some good vibes, OK? I'm glad you're better, and you're going to get even better, my friend. :hug: :loveya:

[auntAgonist]

33. thanks Heidi!

I WILL get better :)

:hug:
for now I must head to bed.


goodnight :loveya:

[WCGreen]

16. Hey Heidi....

We were waitin' for ya....

But I think that cause it's a school night, we might not have as many folks as we did last night....

[Heidi]

21. Hey, sunshine.

I'm sure everyone was just on the edge of their seats, waitin' for me to show up. :rofl:

A quiet night is OK with me. :thumbsup:

How are ya, my friend? :hug:

[WCGreen]

27. Sitting here, looking at a blank screen trying to see if I can

squeeze something creative from my feeble mind....

Actually, I am about ready to give up and call it a night...

[Heidi]

32. You have yerself some sweet dreams, Chris.

Ya hear? :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. And a very good morning to you, my dear gf Heidi!

Good to see you as always! PM has been responded to, and thank you!

Today has been excellent...we went to a chamber music concert and it was fabulous!

And then we all went out to dinner, which is something I rarely get to do...we eat out for lunch more often!

The threads have been uproarious tonight...and no-one got locked!



:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Heidi]

35. Peggy!!!!!!!!!

I've been so furiously replying to Nighthawks posts that I haven't checked my PMs. I will, though.

A chamber music concert sounds just excellent! I haven't been to a concert in years. :( I think I need to get out more. ;)

:loveya: my dear friend.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. No worries, sweetie.......it will keep till you have time.....

This concert is one of a series that we go to every year....

They are free, but you can make a donation, and we always do.

It is so GOOD to hear live music!

Later, my dear gf...time for me to toddle off myself.....

Have a great day!


:loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Good morning Heidi

how was your and Call me Wesleys weekend? Hope you had a relaxed one. :hug:

[Heidi]

39. Hey, gf!

It was a good weekend. I got a lot of painting done, and CMW got the garden cleaned up for fall. How as yours, my friend? :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

40. I met with friends saturday evening

stayed with them till Sunday afternoon. Other then then, it was quiet. Read a lot, chatted and watched TV.

[billyskank]

42. Good morning!

:hi:

[Heidi]

43. Good morning, my friend.

:hug: How was London? :loveya:

[billyskank]

45. Hi Heidi!

:hug:

Have I ever told you that I am always really pleased to see you? :loveya:

London was exhausting. But I have only one more weekend to do. :)

[Heidi]

46. You might have mentioned that

a time or two. ;) Right backatcha, my friend. :hug:

Do you get to do anything besides _work_ when you're in London? One more weekend and we'll have you all to ourselves. I assume Shari and SeattleGirl should start warming up their spankin' arms now. :rofl:

:loveya: Happy Monday, billy. :pals:

[drhilarius]

44. Good morning all...

another day another dollar. I hate third shift. Anyway, god morning. :hi:

[Heidi]

47. Hiya, drhilarious!

I wouldn't wanna work third shift, either; though given the time differences between you and me, I sort of do. ;)

Mornin', sunshine! :hi:

[Clintmax]

48. Good Morning, Miss Heidi!

:hi::hug:
Are you doing OK today?

[In_The_Wind]

49. Good Morning!

[Heidi]

50. Good evening/morning, friends!

:hug: :) :hi:

[Err]

51. Hello Heidi.

:hi:

How's everything going this morning?

[Heidi]

53. Hey, formerly FM!

:hug: Still pitch-dark here, but sunrise is coming soon. How're you! :pals:

[Err]

58. I'm doing all right...

I guess.

Just getting some last-minute homework done before class tomorrow. :pals:

[Heidi]

60. Early class?

What's the subject? :hug:

[Err]

63. Yeah...

the subject is Global Tectonics.

I really hate the class.

[Heidi]

65. Sounds like

it has the potential to be interesting, but it'd take a really great teacher to keep my attention in that class. :shrug:

Why do you hate it so much?

[Err]

66. I hate the prof.

And I find the subject uninteresting.

[Heidi]

71. Six weeks more at most, right?

And then you're finished with this couse and this semester? Hang in there and try to pull a "B" out of it as a method of revenge. :thumbsup:

[Err]

75. There's four weeks left...

and I won't be pulling out a "B".

I'll be getting a C- at best. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear Heidi!

How are you this lovely day/night?

All is well with me.......When you get a chance, go check out my own pic thread.....

I've posted a rather different sort of picture of myself than I normally do.....

How's your painting coming along?

:loveya: :hug:

[Heidi]

57. Hi, Peggy!

I love that picture! If I looked that good after a workout, I'd post a photo, too. (But I don't. :( )

Work is going fine. I just need to do more of it. :evilgrin:

:hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

56. Hey Heidi! Hey Nighthawks!

How are you this fine day? :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug:

And look who I found!!!



Let's party!!!!

[Heidi]

59. There's my partner in crime!

How ya doin' gf? :hug: I really, really missed you yesterday, my friend. :loveya:

Let the spankings commence!

[SeattleGirl]

67. Smooch!!!!! I missed you too,

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

But at least I was able to find the Naughty Girls!



By the way, Call Me Wesley is now officialy one of my very favorite people, right up there with you!

[Heidi]

69. There are those bad girls!

:woohoo:

Call Me Wesley is pretty crazy about you, too, SG. And I agree with you, he's dang special. :blush:

[SeattleGirl]

79. So can The Naughty Girls play a special song for you and

Call Me Wesley??? Your wish is their command!

[Heidi]

80. Yes, yes, yes!

Anything by BB King, this mornin'!

[SeattleGirl]

83. Oooooh, BB King!

That man's music is a total YUM!

[Err]

70. Hey SeattleGirl!

How's it goin' tonight? :pals: :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

81. Going very well!

And you? Hey, I brought along The Naughty Girls Band, so any requests, let me know!

[Err]

84. I have some requests...

but I don't want to get in trouble.

:blush:

[SeattleGirl]

87. Oh, REALLY?????

:evilgrin:

[AVulgarianHue]

102. Hello, my fine feathered friends

Sooo happy to see you all here.:grouphug:

[SeattleGirl]

107. Hi, AvulgarianHue!

:loveya:

[AVulgarianHue]

113. Hi, Sweetie-Darling!

I've been wanting to say that since the AB-Fab thread.:rofl:
You, Sweetie, you. :hug:

[gmoney]

52. Hey Heidi...

Wrapping up another evening of photo editing and headed for home and bed, but I wanted to pay my respects to the lovely Lady Nighthawk and all her minions. ;)

Hope you're doing great and doing great things!

And congratulations on achieving 10,000 posts! :toast: Call Me Wesley idolizes you now!

:hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

72. Thank you Heidi!

Idolizes me? It's 10k. People here have many more than that. It is I who idolizes Call Me Wesley for obvious reasons. :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

73. Yeah, there are many with higher post counts,

but not many who come as highly recommended as you. :thumbsup:

[Wapsie B]

76. Recommended?

:shrug: I'm just me. Just me giving my 2 cents worth.

[Heidi]

78. .

Recommended as in, "Bushwentawol is one my favorites." :thumbsup: :hug:

[Wapsie B]

85. Aww thanks Heidi.

Believe me, the feeling's mutual. Very much so. :thumbsup: :hug:

Two cats now, both old. Poor Dell. Fought hard but just could make it. I miss the little girl.

[Heidi]

68. Oh, gf.

:hug: :cry: I'm so sorry that you've lost Dell. But know this: you gave her a good life, and she died knowing she was well loved. :hug:

Safe passage, Dell . . .

[texanwitch]

89. Thank you Heidi

We had the cat funeral today, buried Dell in the flower bed.

I wiil buy a nice plant later.

Give you cat a big hug for me.

I will check in tomorrow.

[Heidi]

95. Sweet dreams, texanwitch.

I will send you some healing vibes, and hug Ginger for both of us. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

90. Hey texanwitch!

I'm sorry about your cat, but I understand how it can also be a blessing.

Here are some hugs for you, dear!

I should put on "60 Minute Man" by Muddy Waters on the show right now:)

[Wetzelbill]

114. LOL

that's too good. I didn't even have a chance to give you hell about being back so quickly. You win this round. :)

[In_The_Wind]

82. Good Evening Heidi.

How are things in your little corner of the world?

[Heidi]

86. Joani!!!!!!

The sun's coming up. Here's what sunrise looks like at the Piazzga Reforma (Old Town) in Lugano. Enjoy. :hug: :loveya:

http://webcam01.lugano.ch/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi

[In_The_Wind]

92. Heidi

It's only 1:25 AM. I've got hours before the sun comes up ...

So thanks for the picture. I like the lil' street market!

[Heidi]

96. I'd a thousand times rather

wander around in a street market doing my Christmas shopping than face the mall mob. Truly. :thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

100. I hear you on that one!

I won't go near a mall again until next year.

I refuse to become part of the insanity.

[SeattleGirl]

94. Hey Joani, of the sweet and pretty face!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

99. Hey Darlin'

Thanks for the ego boost.

Most of my pictures on the site are like that one - old.

I do have a few newer ones in the photobucket but not very many.

[SeattleGirl]

104. Well, I hope you post some newer ones soon.

I'd love to see them! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

110. A DUer took this one at the Boston meet-up this Spring.

I hope that I'll have some new ones later this week.

[SeattleGirl]

117. I think I saw that posted a week or so ago.

I really love that picture!

[In_The_Wind]

120. That is one of my favorite pictures.

I never got to meet any of the DUers until I went to Boston.

[Wetzelbill]

126. I like that

you look like you're engulfed in serious thought. :)

[In_The_Wind]

128. I was. Mostly I was thinking ...

What The Hell Am I Doing Here!



But then I had a wonderful lunch with 4 other DUers. Not bad for a Friday afternoon in Spring.

[Wetzelbill]

97. I better check in

Yello, everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

101. Hello, bad boy!

Here's an official Naughty Girls welcome to you: :spank: :spank: :spank:

And a song to go along with it, by The Naughty Girls Band!

[Wetzelbill]

109. Woo hoo!!

[SeattleGirl]

111. Come 'ere, you!

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[Wetzelbill]

115. now all you have to do is drag me off to your cave

:)

[SeattleGirl]

118. Better not tempt me!

:evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

123. I will slowly back off lest I get torn apart

:)

[SeattleGirl]

127. Oh, I wouldn't tear you apart......

Just a little :spank: or two! :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

129. hahaha

good to know. :)

[Heidi]

105. Heya, bill!

On behalf of tall women everywhere, I'd like to thank you for evolving to the point where you'll actually talk to us. :rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

112. yes, Heidi, I feel I am maturing nicely....

although today I barely got out a hello to her as we passed each other. Friday though, that's when I usually talk to her.

I kinda like you skyscrapers, you're all ok in my book. :)

[Heidi]

116. Truthfully,

I'm not that tall, just 5'8", but where I live, I'm one of the tallest women around, and taller than a lot of the guys. Hey, you'd probably love it here: many, many shorter, dark-haired, dark-skinned Italianesque women. :thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

119. so do you have an extra room I can stay in for a while?

5'8 is pretty tall if you ask me. That's about how tall the girl in my class is, I think. Tough for me to tell, because everybody seems tall to me, lol.

It's funny how models are really tall, but actresses are typically much shorter. I don't know why the hell I brought that up. I forgot where I was going with that....

I think my lack of sleep just caught up with me. :)

[Heidi]

121. There is no room at the inn, because

we "don't want no short people, don't want no short people, round here." (To paraphrase Randy Newman.) :rofl:

Kidding, kidding. Switzerland would welcome you with open arms, my friend. :hug: :pals:

[Wetzelbill]

122. you had me scared for a second

I'm the only one who can discriminate against height around here! :)

[Heidi]

124. You've got a big

heart, and a fine mind, Bill. That's been proven. :thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

125. nearly as large as my ego

No, all kidding aside, thank you very much, Heidi. You are simply the best!

[billyskank]

130. Hi there!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

131. Hi Billy

:hug:

[billyskank]

132. Hi Joani!

:hug:

[Heidi]

133. Billy!!!

Good morning, my friend! How's your Tuesday going so far? :hug: :loveya:

[billyskank]

134. Hi Heidi!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

The first 45 minutes have been okay so far! :rofl:

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

136. Hello, darlin' billy!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[billyskank]

140. Hi SeattleGirl!

:loveya:

[WCGreen]

135. Still looking at a computer screen...

But now it isn;t so blank...

Late last night I was surprised by an unexpected burst of creative energy and tapped out over 2000 words on the novel I am working on for the Write a Novel in 30 days challenge...

[Heidi]

138. Hiya, Mr. Green!

Congratulations on turning that burst of creative energy into productivity! It doesn't always happen that way for me. :blush:

:thumbsup:

[WCGreen]

139. You take what you can get...

[Abelman]

137. Yowza

This reminds me of the dance party threads of yesteryear.

[Heidi]

142. Hiya, Abelman!

Welcome to our dysfunctional little thread. :hi:

[Abelman]

144. Well

it seems to be functioning fairly well.

What is happening everyone?

[Heidi]

145. The thread usually slows down about this time,

as the night crew in the US goes to sleep, and the regulars in Europe go to work. How're you? :hi:

[Abelman]

146. Awww

I'm good.

[billyskank]

141. Well, gotta fly a little earlier than usual today

I have to take my car to the garage. :)

[Heidi]

143. Have a good day, Billy!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

147. Good Morning, Miss Heidi!

:hi::hug:

[Heidi]

148. Hiya, Clintmax!

:hug: :loveya: Blow some kisses to all of Florida (except Jeb Bush and his henchmen/women) for me, wouldja? And keep one for yourself and Greekspeak! :*

[Clintmax]

149. I sure will!

But I'll keep the bulk of them to myself! :loveya::hug:

[alarcojon]

150. Kick!

Who's out there?

[Heidi]

151. Hiya, alarcojon!

How are ya? :hi: (And thanks for kickin' the Nighthawks thread!)

[alarcojon]

152. I'm doing well, H, how about you?

Thanksgiving break is just around the corner!

:woohoo:

[Heidi]

153. .

I'm OK. Broke up a cat fight at about 5 a.m. Full moon, dontcha know.

My cat, Ginger, and his brother Barley (who lives with my sister-in-law across the street) were bullying an old, deaf farm cat. Bullying is not allowed here. :thumbsdown:


My boy Ginger. I thought he was a pacifist, until this morning. :eyes:


Barley. I can't believe any other cat would take him seriously in a fight.

[alarcojon]

154. Sorry to hear it

Better than a cock-fight!

[Heidi]

155. Oooooooo, beautiful painting!

Reminds me a little of Meinrad Craighead's work. I'll try to post one of her paintings sometime. :thumbsup:

[alarcojon]

157. The artist is Roberto Mamani Mamani

http://www.tiwy.com/news.phtml?id=6

[Heidi]

158. Meinrad Craighead.

[alarcojon]

160. Interesting stuff. Thanks!

[Wapsie B]

156. You're confusing me.

First you were talking about Sly-Kicks and full moons and now it's the Nighthawks. :shrug:



Ok what did you do with the real Heidi? I wanna know.

:rofl:

[Heidi]

159. Here I am!

[Wapsie B]

161. You look very youthful there.

Was that taken recently?
;-)

[Heidi]

162. Nope.

It was taken back when I was youthful. :rofl:

[Wapsie B]

164. Sure coulda fooled me.

I still see the innocence in your more recent pics.

[Heidi]

166. See now? That's the thing.

Dorkishness sometimes is mistaken for innocence. :rofl:

Thanks, bushwentawol. You're a sweetie. :hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

167. Dorkishness? Not hardly.

You're welcome Heidi. :hug: :loveya:

[MrScorpio]

163. What's up, creePERS and creePETTES?

How's the creep going?

[Heidi]

165. Hey, you!

Call Me Wesley listened to your program the other night and loved it. (He stays up later than I do, so I missed it, unfortunately.) :thumbsup: MrS!

[MrScorpio]

168. I hope that he'll like this Thursday

Great show

[alarcojon]

169. Keep up the good work, Mr. S

[MrScorpio]

173. Thanks

I know that you probably have wanted some Bebel Gilberto, but there still is some great stuff on the show

[alarcojon]

174. Can't have Bebel all the time

variety is the spice of life.

I recommended Aganju to Enigmatic and he played it!

[billyskank]

170. Morning all

:hi:

[Heidi]

171. Hiya, Billy!

:hug: :loveya:

Happy Wednesday!

[billyskank]

172. Hello Heidipops!

:loveya: :hug:

[Clintmax]

175. Good Morning, Miss Heidi!

:hi::hug::loveya:
