2. Haha, Clint, I'm BACK!

[Clintmax]

3. Hail, Tangle Dude!

Welcome back too! How've you been, Man? Anything exciting going on?

[entanglement]

6. I'm trying Czech beer tonight

"Pilsner Urquell" they call it

Sadly, I can't describe the taste very well (you understand why,don't you )

Listening to some delightful *HARD* rock


to your health

16. I've never heard of THAT one.

But then again, I'm sure there are hundreds of beer brands I don't know. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself!

to YOUR health!

[LaurenG]

Good Morning Clintmax!!!

Nothing planned just routine clean/laundry/grocery store. After the grocery store I will stay in as it's too cold outside. I feel so happy that you love your car. Too cool!!! Have a great day today.

[Clintmax]

7. Good Morning, Miss OhioB!

After I got off work yesterday, I did the grocery thing, so that part is all done. I need to do laundry also and some house cleaning. I'm not sure I want to spend what little time off I have this weekend doing all the manual labor stuff around the house...know what I mean? Have a great day too, my dear!

[lizziegrace]

4. Hi ya Clint!

Can't sleep, so I'm one of the first on the thread. So you DID get the car? I'm so happy for you!

We're heading up to the farmhouse this morning to measure windows and wander the town. I'm looking forward to it.

[Clintmax]

9. Hello, hello, Lizzie!

Yes, I did get it! It's a 2006 Nissan Sentra Special Edition! Bright yellow, loaded, and one AWESOME car!

It's good to see you again and I'm glad you're one of the first in the crew today! Sounds like a good time! I hope you have lots of fun!

[XemaSab]

5. Morning Clint!

What kind of car did you get???

[Clintmax]

10. Morning, Xema!

I got a 2006 Nissan Sentra Special Edition! Bright Yello! Here's a picture from Nissan's website:

It's a SWEET car!

[billyskank]

17. Hi Xema!

[Fox Mulder]

8. Good morning Clintmax!

I'm off today and tomorrow, so I'm going to do some much needed shopping today. Maybe I'll hit the movie theaters tonight and see a movie...not sure yet, though.

[Clintmax]

13. Hail, FoxM!

I'm happy you have the entire weekend off! Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun! I had to do some shopping yesterday too. I'm not sure (other than laundry) what I'm going to do tomorrow.

[Robeson]

11. HEY CLINTMEISTER!!!

Glad you're loving the new car! I'm sure you're like a kid in a candy shop with it! Have a great time off, and give us some pictures!

[Clintmax]

14. Hail, Robeson!

I tell ya, Man...I have SO much fun driving it! And guess what...I don't have to shift gears all the time because it's an automatic! Can you believe THAT? I've driven a standard transmission for so long, I forgot how nice an auto really is! Pictures should be ready tomorrow!

[tjwmason]

12. Good morning Clint.

Do you mean to say that you've been thinking about getting a new car? I would never have known from your posts over the past few days.

I'm on Dum Transisset Sabbatum by John Taverner. Interestingly there is currently living a composer called (Sir) John Tavener - whereas Taverner lived a few hundred years ago, quite some coincidence that two chaps with only one letter different between their names would both be composers, the pronunciation is nigh-on identical too.

[Clintmax]

15. Hail, TJ!

I guess YOU'RE saying I'm droning on and on about my new car. I can't help it, Dude. I'm so excited. I'll try to tone it down about the car from now on I promise.

That IS quite some coincidence with those two composers.

[tjwmason]

18. I'm just giving you some gentle joshing.

Drone away - you're certainly not boring me.

I'm sitting her at the kitchen table looking out at some birds at the feeder we've got in the garden - it's utterly idyllic.

I can't stay for much longer though, I've got to see the optician in a while.

[Clintmax]

21. I know you're joshing, TJ...

I was ribbing you back a little too. My mom has a feeder outside one of her windows also and she loves to watch the birds eating. It's very peaceful.

Time to get your eyes checked, huh? I just had mine checked last month...no changes!

[tjwmason]

24. It's lovely to have nature around one.

Yes - I've got my annual contact lens check, and 2-yearly sight-test.

I'm not sure if I'll need new glasses or not...part of me would like to get some, if I can find frames which I like (I'm a very picky sod).

Then it's on to a late lunch with my sisters.

[Clintmax]

25. I don't like to wear glasses.

I wear contacts exclusively, but I always get a pair of glasses just for a backup. I can never find a pair of frames I like either because I'm so damned picky. I think it will have to be one of the frameless kind next time.

[tjwmason]

26. I go half and half.

I've received several compliments about how I look in glasses (unfortunately mostly from women), but contacts are much easier - I wear disposable ones and so just have to put them in first thing, then take them out and throw away at night. Every 2 months I get a pack of 30 pairs of lenses through the post, paid for automatically out of my bank account - things couldn't really be simpler.

[Clintmax]

27. I wear disposables too.

They really ARE the easiest! The only time I wear glasses is when I'm between lens changes. You change lenses every single day? That has GOT to be expensive!

[tjwmason]

28. Not too expensive.

£16 per month (roughly $30), obviously it would be double that for full-time wearing of them. That includes the initial fitting, unlimited after-care, sight-test every 2 years (which would only be about £20 anyway), and a reduced price when I buy glasses.

[Clintmax]

31. Well then I guess that's not too bad.

Especially since you only wear them part time.

[billyskank]

20. Morning mason

[tjwmason]

23. Good morning billy.

Hope that you kick the cold into touch pretty quickly.

Go and eat 50 oranges and 10 lemons - should give you plenty of vitamin C. Then have a bar of zinc (but be careful that you don't break your teeth on it).

[In_The_Wind]

[billyskank]

38. Hi Joani!

[billyskank]

19. Morning Clint

I am developing a head cold.

Post some pictures of you + your new motor soon.

[Clintmax]

22. Hail, Billy!

Well I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling good, Man. I hate that. I hope it doesn't keep hold of you for too long.

I'm going to try to post some pictures tomorrow. If not then (sometimes I'm not on DU on Sunday), then certainly Monday!

[benny05]

29. Not much sleep here

Woke up, couldn't go back to sleep, so I'm watching the Stones' Bridges to Babylon DVD, and in particular, "Sympathy for the Devil". Somehow, I think of Cheney when I hear that song.

[Clintmax]

30. Morning, Benny!

I do that sometimes too...once I wake up, I'm usually up for the day. That's why I always try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up every morning at the same time. I hop eyou have a great day though!

[In_The_Wind]

32. Pour Some Sugar On Me for sure.

Good mornin' Clint.

That's wonderful news about getting the car! Enjoy it to the max!

[newyawker99]

33. Good morning everyone!

[sbj405]

34. Good Morning

Looks like a crappy weather weekend, so I'm not sure about my plans. But a three day weekend, so bonus!

[Callalily]

36. Morning Clint!

Can't wait to see the photos of your car, and I hope you weren't pulling our leg. I want to see you inside, and maybe some driving ones!

It's extremely cold here temp is minus 16 with minus 34 chill factor. Was going to take my cat to the vet, but I'm putting that off for a warmer day. She's getting on in years and I don't want to expose her to that kind of cold. I was going to go x-country skiing today, but I just may have to rethink that. Maybe if it warms up latter on . . . I'm a little bummed about that, but then again there's always tomorrow.

With so few non-work hours this weekend, I think you should just set them aside for fun. The rest of the stuff somehow gets done.
Opps, coffee's done. Gotta go run and get me a cuppa!

[buddhamama]

37. Hooray

it is Saturday ! I don't have concrete plans for the weekend with the exception of some much needed rest and relaxation.

Glad you're enjoying the Freakin' Car. Can't wait to see some pics.

[AirmensMom]

39. Good morning, Clintmax!

Did I miss you AGAIN? Well, I saw your car and it's NICE! Can't wait to see the new pics!

People are coming to see the house this afternoon. harleydad had to take stuff to the hazardous waste site and then go grocery shopping. So I'm on my own getting things straightened up again. We need good vibes to sell this house!

Back to work now. I was hoping I didn't miss you ...
