Good Friday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: How are you this morning? I hope you had a good day yesterday. And here we are at Friday! :woohoo: Get through this work shift and the weekend will be upon us! I hope you have some nice relaxing plans for the upcoming two days off. That is...if you HAVE them off.

I've been working a little on the genealogy of my family the past couple of days. Have you ever done this? It's quite fascinating when you get into it, to see how far back your family tree goes. So far, I've gotten back to the year 1616 when one of my ancestors was born in Sedgley, Staffordshire, England! And I still have a ways to go. Like I said...it's quite fascinating!

So, are you ready to get this day started so it can get over with that much quicker? Me too! Time to rise and shine, my crew! :bounce:

2. Morning Clint

:hi:

[Clintmax]

5. Good Morning, Billy!

:hi:
You doing Okay at work so far?

[billyskank]

9. Yeah, everything is motoring along nicely here

I think it's time for a banana. :D I hope you are well this morning.

[Clintmax]

11. I love bananas too!

Doing just fine, my friend! Still trying to wake up.

[tjwmason]

17. Morning billy.

:hi:

How is everything with you today?

[billyskank]

25. Hi mason!

:hi: Everything is okay today. How are you?

I'm sorry to hear your classical music forum is playing at largissimo right now.

[tjwmason]

51. All's delightful here.

The group has never been the most active of places - one wouldn't really expect it to be - but has tailed off recently...it's one of those things where there doesn't quite seem to be the critical-mass to keep things going. Such is life I suppose.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. Good morning, Clintmax!

First!

EDIT: Damn! Second! :mad:

[Clintmax]

6. LOL! Good Morning, Starbucks!

:rofl::hi:
Hey, you can't win them all! :rofl: How's it goin today, Man?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Take a wild guess.

Last day of work yesterday! :party:

[Clintmax]

44. WOOHOO!

Yes, I know! I was going to say something about that! So when is your actual move date again?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

56. Next Thursday.

And I'm writing a post about finishing that job right now. :D

[Clintmax]

60. Cool!

This is quite exciting!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

67. It's hard to write, though.

I'm kind of self-medicating right now. :smoke:

[Clintmax]

73. Uh oh.

:rofl:
Stop that! :spank:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

81. What? I'm serious!

:D

[Clintmax]

82. I know.

Now quit it! :rofl: :spank:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

86. No! I refuse!

:D

[Clintmax]

90. LOL! OK fine.

Just keep on keeping on then! :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

94. I'm lighting one up now just for you!

:P

[Clintmax]

102. Well thanks, Man.

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning Clint

almost lunch break and half the working day over.

I will go to Stuttgart this weekend, meeting with another friend of mine. Getting a break from my friend here in Frankfurt. Not sure what we gonna do, maybe go dancing.

[Clintmax]

7. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
That's nice! You have a fun weekend planned, and I don't blame you for taking a break from your other friend for a couple of days. I hope you have a blast in Stuttgart! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Well, I haven't seen that friend in a while

so we will have a lot to catch up. Of course we talk and email in between, but to talk person to person is different again.

[Clintmax]

13. Yes, it is!

I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing her again. I have friends back in Missouri I haven't seen in years and years and it would be good to see and talk with them again sometime.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. That friend I am going to visit

I met on a flight to the U.S. in 1994. We connected from the beginning. Of course I never had a sexy guy sitting next to me I could have connected with :P

[Clintmax]

62. Oh of course not!

MY luck is the same way. But, it's good you found a friend like that!

[MissHoneychurch]

75. Check out this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5296678


just posted it

[Clintmax]

77. Beautiful!

Love your pictures, My dear! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

79. Thanks Clint

thought I mention it to you as you barely have time to check other threads since you have to answer us all here :)

[Clintmax]

83. I'm glad you told me about it!

I'd have hated to miss it! :bounce::hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

85. Hey I just want praise

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

92. You certainly deserve it for those...

and ALL the pictures you post! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

97. ...

:blush:

[Clintmax]

103. Well you do!

Hopefully, some day, I'm as good at picture taking as YOU are!

[MissHoneychurch]

105. When I'm grown up, I want to be a Porsche

[Clintmax]

110. And you're a volkswagon until then?

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

120. It is really a sign you can buy

of course it is funny on a VW Beetle :rofl:

[Clintmax]

134. Oh OK! I get it!

:rofl:
Good one!

[MissHoneychurch]

138. I just thought of it

when you said you want to take pics like me :rofl:

[Clintmax]

154. Well that's a good one, my dear!

My camera doesn't have a macro lens. Do you think I'll be able to get as good a closeup picture as you have?

[MissHoneychurch]

163. Just try it

you can delete them after all if it doesn't come out :)

[tjwmason]

19. Good afternoon Miss Honeychurch.

:hi:

Sounds like you've got a good week-end planned.

Enjoy your lunch?

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

43. Having salad with shrimp

so yes, I enjoy my lunch :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

[tjwmason]

53. Sounds ideal.

I'm not sure what I'm doing yet - there's an event tomorrow in London which I may go to...but the timing isn't terribly good for me, I'll probably decide at the very last possible moment knowing me.

[MissHoneychurch]

70. What kind of event?

just go, you will have fun I am sure.

[AirmensMom]

74. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Another fun weekend ahead for you. :bounce: I hope you have a great time!

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Good morning Airmens

I just posted some of my rose pictures

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5296678

[AirmensMom]

87. They're great!

:bounce: Thanks for letting me know ... I posted over there. :loveya:

I used to take a lot of flower pics. I'm hoping the last one of harleydad's orchid turned out, but I haven't had a chance to upload anything for a few months.

[MissHoneychurch]

91. I am new in that field

mostly I take pics of buildings and landscapes. Flower close-ups ... still learning.

[AirmensMom]

96. It's a little tricky.

But you did great. Does your camera have a close-up button? (It usually has a picture of a flower on it.)

[MissHoneychurch]

99. It does

and I also have a macro zoom. Not a very close up, but 1:2 I think.

[AirmensMom]

108. Did you use that?

I found you can get pretty close. It's fun to play with it on a digital camera b/c it doesn't cost anything. When you come, I'll let you play with one of my digital cameras. Hopefully, we'll still have something worth taking close-up pictures of. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

124. That would be really sweet of you

here is the zoom I used

AF 70-300mm F/4-5,6 LD MACRO 1:2



This is the definitive lightweight, compact telephoto macro zoom with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at the 300mm setting -- ideal for shooting subjects that are difficult to approach such as sporting and theatrical events. The lens also features special effects such as the capability to provide beautifully blurred backgrounds to highlight the main subject in protraiture, or "compression effects" that make the most of the telephoto lens. By switching to maco mode, subjects as close as 0.95m can be shot within the focal range of 180-300mm, for true macro photography. The optical system incorporates a LD (Low Dispersion) lens, resulting in clear sharp images free of chromatic aberration.

[AirmensMom]

127. That's a fancy lens!

My cameras are very small, with built-in lenses. But they should do the trick for playing around and experimenting. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

It was my Christmas present

do you understand now why I going to keep taking pics with my analogue camera? :)

[AirmensMom]

139. Yes, I do.

Harleydad has some nice lenses and he wants a digital body to put them on. So I'm saving up my money and will get him one for our anniversary. Joani has the one he really wants, but there's a smaller one with fewer bells and whistles that I might actually be able to afford. He stopped taking pictures because it got so expensive to develop the film (he took a LOT of pictures).

[MissHoneychurch]

142. Make sure

the camera supports the analogue zooms. I am not sure how that works. I can understand him. Getting the pics developed ... oh boy. And I take a lot of pics too when I go out with the intention to shoot pictures.

[AirmensMom]

152. They do.

There are two sets of arrows where you fit the lenses. One is for the analog zooms and one is for the digital ones. He took a good look at Joani's. I would think they'd have a harder time selling them if people had to go out and buy new lenses all the time.

You have to shoot a lot of pictures if you want to get the perfect one. Harleydad always teases me about "wasting film" when I take pictures, even though I'm using a digital camera. :rofl: I love being able to take thousands of pics and just deleting the bad ones. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

162. I am sure that at one point I will by me a digi cam

but I want a really good one and those are too expensive for me at the moment. I need to save all my money for the trip to the U.S. :)

[Random_Australian]

10. Morning!

[Clintmax]

12. Good Morning, Random!

:hi:
I hope you're doing okay with your tests, Mate!

[Random_Australian]

15. studying very busy will drop in occasionally have not been able to

run 'difficult question' thread.

[Clintmax]

46. Well I can certainly understand THAT.

What with all the studying you're having to do. I hope it's going okay.

[Random_Australian]

65. Mmmmm sort of night before exam portion not understood stressing.

[tjwmason]

21. Good evening Random.

:hi:

You still managing to keep half a step ahead of the beastly work?

:hug:

[Random_Australian]

24. Nope, crunch time!

[tjwmason]

54. You do know that you've got a bunch of us rooting for you?

and we all know that you can pull through and triumph gloriously. :hug:

[Random_Australian]

69. Are you serious?

[tjwmason]

88. Totally.

You's a good 'un.

[Random_Australian]

93. I have not really been doing my work, too simple too often, and now that

has caught up with me. However, I may just make it.

We shall see.

P.S. Who are the people mentioned?

[tjwmason]

16. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Staffs is it? My maternal family is pretty much all from Yorkshire - my grandfather has traced back quite some way, I'm not quite sure how far. My paternal family is also Yorkshire more recently, but before that mostly Lincolnshire - my father had a brief go looking into that and got back to the 18th century.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

29. Good Morning, TJ!

:hi::hug:
That's as far as I've gone so far. No TELLING what I'm going to find as I progress with this. I've also found, on my grandfathers side, a woman, last name Taliaferro born in the year 1700 in Scotland. I've hit a rather dead end with her though. I'll have to keep looking. How are YOU today, Sir?

[tjwmason]

59. I'm doing very well indeed.

:D

Family history is utterly fascinating - the Scots side is to be expected, given that you're from the South. I read a short paper once which argued that the tradition of "spirituals" actually arose from the Gaelic metrical psalm singing from Scotland - taken over with the whites who became the slave-owners. Extraordinary how population movements and cultures impact on each other.

[Clintmax]

68. Yes it is!

I could talk to you all day about this genealogy stuff! My great grandmother on my fathers side was a full Cherokee indian. The native Americans didn't keep records on familys like the whites did, so I have NO chance to find much about her.

[Heidi]

18. Just a quick

:hi: and :hug: before I go grocery shopping, Clint. :loveya:

[billyskank]

27. Not the grocery shopping!

:o

:hug: Stay safe, beloved. :loveya:

[Heidi]

33. Yes, it's true. I can procrastinate no longer.

:cry:

Thank you, my friend. :hug:

[Clintmax]

30. Good Morning, Miss Heidi!

:bounce::hi::hug::loveya:
I'm SO glad to see you today! Hugs and kisses to you and to Wesley! :hug:

[Heidi]

35. Thanks, sweetie.

:hug: Right back at you, Greekspeak, Tony and Bandit. :hug:

[Clintmax]

47. I'll let them know for you!

Damn I've missed you! :loveya:

[billyskank]

50. You are not the only one

Breakfast sucks without a nighthawks thread. :cry:

[Clintmax]

55. I was thinking of the Nighthawks thread earlier too.

:cry:

[sbj405]

20. Good Morning!

Did you get that laundry done?

I'm ready for the weekend. No big plans as the weather looks like it's going to be crummy.

[Clintmax]

31. Good Morning, Miss Sbj!

:hi::hug:
Nope. :rofl: I had NO desire to go over there. So...I skipped it. :rofl: I'm going to have to break down and go...like SOON.

[sbj405]

63. Go today. Weekends at the laundromat suck!

And you really will be naked soon. :-)

[Clintmax]

71. Yes, I know.

It will certainly have to be today. *grumble grumble* I don't wanna go! :rofl:

[sbj405]

98. Well there's always fluff and fold.

Or whatever they call it these days. You drop it off, they wash and fold it. A little more, but perhaps worth it.

[Clintmax]

101. Hey, that's a GREAT idea!

I'll just take it over to them to do and then I won't have to mess with it! Why didn't I think of that?! :bounce:

[NMMNG]

22. Good morning Clint!

I've never tried looking up my family tree. I'd probably go back and find out I was related to Hitler, Himmler or someone like that. Some things might be better left unexplored.

Mmmm, "Drive". Such a sad song. I love sad songs. :cry:

[Clintmax]

34. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
That is a scare of mine too. That I'll find I was related to somebody like those two as well...so far, no. I love that song too. I wish you could see the videos, my dear. :loveya:

[NMMNG]

52. I think one of my sisters was doing some geneaology a while back

Maybe I'll ask her next time we talk and see what she found out, if she indeed was doing so. Maybe I'm not related to any fiends (at least on my mother's side--it's my father's side that's German so who knows... ).

[Clintmax]

58. Yep...who knows?

:rofl:
I hope you find you aren't!

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Hi Clintmax!

Yes, MrG has done a lot of genealogy on his family. His family has been traced back to a passenger on the Earl of Donegal in 1767 to South Carolina. They were from County Antrim.

http://www.geocities.com/earlofdonegal/LIST.htm

It really is interesting. :) :hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

28. Hi MrsG!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Hi billy!

:loveya: How are you today? Fish flies are almost gone here so I am feeling better about things. :)

[billyskank]

36. I am well

I only have three weeks to go now. I have to start getting myself organised, especially as I will be doing stuff next weekend (it will be my birthday a week on Sunday).

I am so excited! :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

117. That is exciting!

I'll have to remember to wish you a BIG happy birthday on next Sunday! :hug: Do you have any special plans?

[billyskank]

165. I will go and stay with my mum for the weekend

I expect on Sunday we will probably go out for dinner. Nothing more exciting than that.

I will be 30... :scared:

P.S. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

167. I loved turning 30!

I really did! Now this 36 business...well....it stinks.

:hug:

[billyskank]

168. Well if it was good for you, then I shall embrace it

:7


:loveya:

[Clintmax]

37. Good Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today, my dear! Yes, it is interesting...but when you start doing it...the hours just melt away into nothingness and you look up and five hours or something has passed without your approval! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

113. It is time consuming...in a fun way!

and a good reason to get out of folding clothes! :hi:

[Clintmax]

118. Yeah, no kidding!

I think I'm just going to take the clothes over to them and let THEM wash, dry and fold them! Then, I don't have to worry about it at ALL! :rofl::hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

128. Excellent Idea!!!

:hi: :rofl: I wish I had thought of that... ;)

[Clintmax]

131. Well it took, Sbj405 to bring it up to me.

I didn't think of it either! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

136. A little confession, I once sent MrG's shirts out to be ironed...

:rofl: I let them go too long and it would have taken all day to iron so I sent them away. :blush:

[Clintmax]

146. LOL...hey, when you don't have either the time...

or the inclination, let someone else do it! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

61. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

Don't seem to have chatted with you for a while - perhaps that's just my imagination though.

How are you today?

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

115. Hi tj!

:hug: I am good, thanks! I posted in the classical music group for you. It would be a shame to see it deleted. :(

I have been busy with the kids, but should have more time soon. Once my father is done with surgery you'll see me more often again. I've missed you. :loveya:

[tjwmason]

141. I've been thinking about you and your father.

:hug: for good luck to you all.

I can see the admins' point with the classical music group - it does need people to post in it if it's going to continue, and they seem reluctant to do so.

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

144. I honestly did not know it was there. I hope it stays because

I would post there. There were so many groups at first it was really confusing. :hug:

[tjwmason]

149. That's one of the reasons I put the message here.

I thought that there would be some folk who didn't know it was there - a bit of advertising. :D

[Minnesota Libra]

26. Good Friday morning everyone...................

....if you all can make it through today you've got two whole days to yourself.:applause:

I've often thought of doing the genealogy of my family but for some reason I just never got started. Where would you suggest I start? Is there a web site that could get me started?

Take care everyone and for all those neocons who are repeating the party spew of we don't want to :eyes:"cut and run":crazy: just tell then that's fine with you as long as the ones that are forced to :cry:"stay and die":cry: are all neocon, all the liberals have decided not to "stay and die".

:grouphug:Be good to each other:grouphug:

[Clintmax]

39. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
It's good to see your positive self here every morning! :bounce: Yes, you can start at "rootsweb". It's a great resource! http://www.rootsweb.com/

I hope you have a great weekend planned!

[Minnesota Libra]

40. Thanks for the link - yes I'll have to check it out. nt.

[Clintmax]

49. Good luck in your search!

And be prepared for hours to go by without your permission! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

38. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

I spent the day running errands. It's nice driving around here, so I didn't mind at all. Today I might unpack some more little things.

I've wanted to do harleydad's geneology since it's more interesting than mine (we already know who his ancestors are, but we don't know the in-betweens). Since you know how do to it, perhaps I could bother you for some tips. Did you have to pay for one of those geneology search places?

Is the laundry done yet? Are you going to Orlando? We must know! :bounce:

[billyskank]

41. AirmensMom!

:bounce: :hi: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

45. Billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: Did I get auto-completed today? :bounce: :rofl:

[billyskank]

48. No, I wrote a new one for today!

:P

[AirmensMom]

66. Oh, my, I'm honored.

:blush:

Are you having a good day?

[billyskank]

78. You are silly

:loveya:

Yes, I'm okay. How are you? Settling in yet?

[AirmensMom]

84. You're right ...

That's what my grandson tells me. Only, when I tell him HE'S silly, he says, "No I'm not, I'm CRAZY!" :rofl:

Yeah, I'm getting settled in. We have a lot of boxes we're not unpacking until we get into the new house. But just about everything we wanted to unpack here is unpacked. I'm sitting in the dining room and it's looking pretty bare with the empty china and curio cabinets, so I might unpack a few figurines or something, just to make it look a little less like a furniture store.

I'm LOVING my new MacBook! I wish my Canon PhotoRecord program would run on it, but otherwise it's so cool! And the battery and wireless work great ... a nice improvement over my Dell. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

42. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
Some of the search sites you DO have to pay for, some you don't. Rootsweb.com is my favorite and its free! Also, check the states census sites. There's a LOT of info in most of those! We can talk on the phone if you want and I can give you a lot more info if you decide to start looking into it!

No...the laundry didn't get done. I had no desire to go over to that place. So, I went shopping instead. :rofl: I think we're going to try to go to Orlando tomorrow...together. It will be a great time!

[AirmensMom]

64. Wow, thanks!

:bounce: I'll take a peek at Rootsweb.com as soon as I get a chance. Sounds like a good place to start. And we can talk on the phone even if I don't decide to look into it. :loveya:

My kids used to do that ... run out of clothes and go shopping instead of doing laundry. :rofl: I hope you bought some clothes! :rofl: Orlando sounds like MUCH more fun going together! :woohoo:

I got bit by a bug yesterday. Don't know what it was, but I saved it in case my finger falls off. I was sitting on the deck minding my own business, talking with harleydad, and something got on my neck. When I brushed it off, it bit my finger -- felt like a hot poker going in there! I killed it and collected it in a bag to show the neighbors. Get this ... they've lived here all their lives and not ONE of them has ever seen a bug like this one. :scared: But they all said not to worry if my finger wasn't getting hot or swelling up. It didn't do that, but I can still see the hole it made. :scared: I thought all the big scary bugs were in FL. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

72. Oh my!

I HATE bugs! :scared: Especially ones that bite you like that. I wonder what it was?

Yes, it would be MUCH funner going to Universal with Greekspeak than alone. I hope we get to go, but we may decide to stay in and enjoy each others company.

And yes, we can talk anytime on the phone! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

80. I do, too.

I'm going to try to find it on the internet. Problem is that it's pretty squashed and I can't tell what kind of creature it is ... just that it has long legs and a red hairy butt. :shrug:

WHAT? :wow: You might stay home tomorrow? I was all excited about you going to Universal. It would be a blast if the weather is good. :bounce:

You just might hear from me. Hopefully, I'll sound better than I did last time. :D :loveya:

[Clintmax]

89. A red hairy butt? *shudder*

Sounds scary! Let me know what it is if you find out. Bugs are the grossest damned things. I came upon this one the other day:
Scared the living shit right outta me! Did some research and found out it's poisonous and it's venom is as powerful as a scorpions! :scared:

[AirmensMom]

95. Yikes!

:scared:

You actually SAW one of those? I don't like bugs, either. I'll let you know if/when I identify the one that bit me.

[Clintmax]

100. Yes, and nearly had a coronary!

I hate those things! :scared:

Do you think it was a spider of some sort? Can you tell how many legs it had?

[AirmensMom]

107. Well, that's the thing.

Its legs are all folded up, so it's hard to count. My initial thought was that it was a spider but I'm not seeing enough legs. And it has a long skinny antenna ... but I only see one. Maybe some parts fell off when I slapped it. I don't see anything that looks like wings, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a flying insect.

[Clintmax]

112. Hmmm...I don't know which way to tell you to go then.

To look for it. There's millions of bugs out there.

121. I know.

But I'm looking at spiders first. I'm more curious than anything else at this point since there doesn't seem to be any real harm done. One thing that scares the crap out of me, though, is that my dad was bit by a bott fly once ... and a bott fly larvae crawled out of the wound some time later. :puke: But his bite swelled up and got nasty. So we won't think of such things. :scared:

[Clintmax]

129. YUCK! Good gods!

:scared:
Let me see if I can find a picture of one of those...
This is about the best I can find:
It's not one of these. I'm sure of it.

[AirmensMom]

135. Fortunately, I wasn't there to see it.

It was bad enough when my mom told me about it. :scared: They had been on a cruise somewhere when it happened. Sounded like a sci-fi flick. :scared:

[Clintmax]

147. Yes, it does.

No more about THAT, ok? :scared: :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

150. OK ...

FINE! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

151. LOL!

Well! It's gross! *shudder* :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

156. Ya think?

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

158. Yes, I really do!

Bugs...:scared:

[Clintmax]

116. Did it look like this?

But with a red butt?

[AirmensMom]

132. It might have.

The butt looked like the jumping spider on this page. But I don't see the long antenna on the jumping spider.

Do I want to know what this bug is?

[Clintmax]

145. Hmm...I don't know if we do or not.

:scared:

I'll keep looking too.

[AirmensMom]

148. How did you find that one?

I'm not getting a lot of help from google, so I'm sure I'm not looking for the right thing.

I'm going to get some of these:

That'll show 'em!

[Clintmax]

153. I just used Google Images and typed in Bott fly...

and the other one was a wheel bug. Up they came and posted them I did! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

155. Yep, you did!

:rofl:

Holy cow! Look at the time! I'm going to have to go. :cry: And we had such a good time this morning. :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

157. Yes, we did!

I thoroughly enjoyed it too! :loveya: It's about breakfast time for me too. Let me know if you ever find out what kind of bug that was. Call anytime you want, my dear! I'll see you in the morning! :hug:

[AirmensMom]

159. I will.

I'll call when I'm sure I can talk. :loveya:

See you in the morning. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

160. Ok good! See you then, my dear!

Have a great day! :bounce::loveya::hug:

[newyawker99]

104. Good morning everyone!

:donut:



:hi:

[Clintmax]

106. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
Happy Friday to you! :bounce:

[Cannikin]

109. Sorry I'm late! Good morning crew!

[Clintmax]

111. Good Morning, Cannikin!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you this morning! Late or no! :hi:

[Cannikin]

114. Hiya! Do you get any time off this weekend?

[Clintmax]

119. Yes, I'm still on vacation.

I don't have to be back to work until Tuesday! :bounce::woohoo:

[Cannikin]

130. Oh cool. I envy you.

[Clintmax]

133. Thanks, Man. It's been very relaxing.

And I still have 4 days to go! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

137. Good morning.

:hi:

How are things with you this fine day?

:hug:

[Cannikin]

140. Hi there. I'm doing great. How about you?

[tjwmason]

143. All is splendid here, now.

Just had a long argument with Mildred (my computer) who decided to stop paying attention and lost the wireless network...:eyes: she can be a temperamental thing at times...but all good now.

Especially as I'm sitting chatting with such a stunningly gorgeous man.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

122. Good Morning!

There were two Friday morning threads. I was all confused. My sister graduated HS. It was hot and long and no one could hear anything. Possibly because there was an annoying woman directly in front of us with a fucking fog horn. One would think she would stop with the fog horn after being called an asshole by about twenty people (including my former French teacher...good to see she's not deported anymore).

Oh and the cops were wearing bulletproof vests. Why I don't know, since nothing ever happens in Rockaway Boro. I'm pretty sure the last time anyone got shot was a dumb hunting accident or gun cleaning thing.

[Clintmax]

125. Good Morning, Miss Haruka!

:hi:
Yes, I just saw that Random kicked last weeks Friday thread! He's such a naughty young man! :rofl: What a stupid woman....with a foghorn no less! :eyes:

[riona]

123. Fl check-in

After a few nights of kitty wanting to chat at 2:20 AM, hubbie decided to shut the br door. Well, you have a cat, and I've had cats before, so WE KNOW what's going to happen (but who am I to say?). Sure enough, it's NONSTOP meowing, door scratching and tackling, and various mystery noises. A 2:30 chat would have been relaxing in comparison. Wonder what we'll do tonight?

[Clintmax]

126. Good Morning, Miss Flblu!

:hi:
ROFL! Yes, I knew exactly what was going to happen when you said he closed the door on it! :rofl: Saw that coming from a mile away!

[Clintmax]

161. Time to get going, Crew!

I hope you have a wonderful Friday and I'll see you in the morning! Take care of each other! :grouphug:

[tjwmason]

164. Have a great day Clint.

See you tomorrow. :hug: :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

166. I know, I know

I'm late. Hi everyone!

Airman's Mom - I was wondering about you and your move. Everything went well I hope? You have internet access and that's the most important thing. :P
