Good morning, everyone!

[AirmensMom]

What? No morning crew thread? :shrug:

It rained like crazy last night and kept me awake with all the thunder. Harleydad can't come home tonight as planned -- has to stay another week. x(

Someone's morning has to be starting out a little better than this. C'mon over and tell me what's cooking with you today! :grouphug:

[MissHoneychurch]

1. Good morning MissAirmens

I just emailed you. I won't repeat here what I wrote you :)

:hi:

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

3. I'm reading it now.

Good morning, MissHC ... or is it Good Afternoon? :hi: :loveya: :hug:

TGIF, I suppose. :bounce:

[billyskank]

5. TGFAM

:D

[AirmensMom]

10. That could mean a hundred things.

:D

[billyskank]

13. Thank God For AirmensMom!

:bounce:

[AirmensMom]

17. Oh, my!

I thought it MIGHT say that ... but thinking that seemed a bit presumptuous. :blush: Thank you! :yourock:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. It is Afternoon

:bounce:

A bit after 2.15pm to be correct :D

Oh yes, TGIF for sure. This week went by fast but it was horrible because I was tired the whole time and not able to do shit

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[AirmensMom]

16. Who wants to do shit anyway?

It's highly overrated. :rofl:

I'm sorry your week was bad and I do hope you have a mahvelous weekend. I think this week has been horrible for a lot of people. Not sure why. :shrug:

:loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. It truly is

:rofl:

I don't know either what the matter is. It is either the weather or just the horrible situation in the world that pulled us down. Going over and reading in GD or GDP surely makes one depressive.

[billyskank]

21. I was in GD yesterday

I remembered what it was about that place that was so frustrating. It's not the flame wars. It's the fact that so many people there are so STUPID.

:wtf:

[AirmensMom]

23. I haven't been over there yet today.

But it sure made an impression yesterday. And the TV is all terra, terra, terra.

[Callalily]

29. Morning MissH

Just popped in to say hello. I'm at work, (yes on my day off) got a few things that JUST HAVE to get done. Good grief! Now is this dedication or what!

[billyskank]

2. Hi AirmensMom!

:hi:

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

4. Hi billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: How are you doing today?

[billyskank]

7. Skiving

I couldn't face work today (not that I'm doing much right now anyway) so I took the day off. How are you?

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

8. Oooo, are you "sick"?

Or "on vacation"?

I'm fine, thanks. Just a little bummed. Some days are like that. :shrug:

[billyskank]

9. Oh no!

A bummed AirmensMom is _not_allowed_! Is it because of harleydad? Is there anything we can do to cheer you up? :hug:

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

12. Mostly.

And because I can't seem to find my energy, which makes it harder to be alone. :cry:

But you cheer me up just by being here. Thanks. :hug:

[billyskank]

15. It sucks to be alone

I know all about that. :hug: You should phone him as soon and as often as you can.

[AirmensMom]

20. We do that.

We have unlimited minutes to call each other on our cell phones. Only thing is that our cell phones suck, so they drop calls right in the middle of a sentence. It's very frustrating. x(

He had a little "excitement" on the way home from work yesterday which actually made me glad he's not traveling today. A picture of a tire came up on the dashboard with some arrows somewhere on it. So he pulled over and found that he had a flat tire -- ran over a wire. The car told him before it got very flat and before any damage to the rim happened. He changed the tire knows how to fix it, but I'd rather he drive a few local miles on the repair before he starts out on a long trip. But that doesn't mean I'm happy about him staying away for an extra week.

A lot of people here know about being alone. I shouldn't complain. :hug:

[billyskank]

22. We are friends, AirmensMom

complain all you like. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

24. You're too sweet, billy.

:loveya: Thanks. :hug:

[ThomCat]

11. Good Morning!

:hi:

It's too early to be alive, but I'm checking in briefly before stumbling to work. :P

[AirmensMom]

14. Good morning, ThomCat!

:donut: :hi: Thanks for stopping in. I hope you find your way to work OK. Just remember to open your eyes before you get behind the wheel. :P

:hug:

[ThomCat]

18. I'm a NYC commuter,

So no driving for me.

I get to sit for half an hour on the Staten Island Ferry, then walk a ways, then take two different trains, then walk some more.

If I'm awake enough, I'll get a lot of reading done. :)

[AirmensMom]

25. Well, that's good.

You don't have to be awake if you don't want to be. :bounce:

Here's how awake I am ... I read "Satan Island Ferry" at first. :rofl:

[Katina]

28. actually

it SHOULD be called "Satan Island Ferry"...I know a lot of commuters who would be fine with that description! :7

[ThomCat]

30. Yes, especially during the cattle call to board.

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

31. I bet you could get it started.

All it takes is a slip of the tongue ... and there you go. Everyone will be calling it Satan Island Ferry before you know it! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

33. Good morning, Katina!

:donut: :hi:

[Callalily]

26. Morning AirmensMom

I took the day off, and guess where I am! At work! Ugh! Only plan to put in a few hours though. Sometimes life is just not fair!

[AirmensMom]

27. Good morning, SF!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Wait a minute ... you're working on your day off? What's wrong with this picture? I hope you go home SOON!

It's good to see you, though. What are your plans once you get off work?:bounce:

:pals:

[Callalily]

32. I'm thinking about

going to the Mall. I HATE the Mall, but maybe there's some good summer buys. Additionally, it shouldn't be just too crowded, another thing I just HATE.

[AirmensMom]

34. I'm with you.

Haven't been to the mall in over 6 years, though ... too many perfume counters. But I hate the crowds, too. I hope you find lots of sales! :bounce:

[Callalily]

35. Yeah me too!

One time I went to the Mall, actually had a real goal in mind, walked in, started to walk down the mail aisle, and decided that I just didn't want to be there. I truly hate shopping so I left and shopped on-line! Unfortunately can't buy shoes on-line, otherwise I'd do that too!

[AirmensMom]

36. Actually, I have done that.

Bought shoes online, that is. Many times. Guess i've been lucky with it. But there are so many warehouse shoe stores around now, so I'll shop there for shoes.

I do most of my shopping online these days. My UPS and FedEx drivers get to know me pretty quickly. :rofl:

[Callalily]

39. I can relate

Get a lot of my work suits from Overstock.com! They've got petites that always seem to fit. Have been lucky that way.

Sorry, but I gotta say good bye for now. Want to get my work done so I can start my day off. lol

[AirmensMom]

40. OK, have a great day!

:loveya: :hug: :pals: :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

37. Since there didn't seem to be a Morning thread I went down to breakfast!

I'm sorry you'll be spending the weekend alone with the kitties.

[AirmensMom]

38. Good morning, Joani!

:donut: :hi: :loveya: :hug:

How was breakfast? I'm thinking of being bad and having some coffee. I'm tired of feeling tired. x(

Alone with the kitties is better than being alone without them. I can always hope harleykid wants to do something. :shrug:

Are you still enjoying yourself* down there? :bounce:


(*and him) :blush:

[In_The_Wind]

41. Well ...

I am happy that I'm here. I managed to develop a blister on the bottom of my foot on yesterday's morning walk x( so my hips are yelling at me about the lack of exercise today. I plan to stay in and let my foot heal perhaps I'll go for a swim later to make up for it.

I had a long long talk with him last night about things which were bothering both of us. I was so depressed that the talk couldn't be put off until I move down in November. As it usually goes with men, he was clueless about the depth of my feelings for him because I have loved and missed him for most of my life. His Hepatitis C is sapping his strength and we are taking a break from each other tonight so he can be in better shape for our date tomorrow night. I believe we have made a lot of progress toward being together.

He was shocked when he heard me say that I would throughly kick the ass of the woman he cheated on me with if I ever see her again (btw ~ that's not likely to happen). She was our friend. He said "But it was only sex! There was no emotional attachment." :grr: His statement gave me the perfect opening to talk about his double standard.

[AirmensMom]

42. That's good to hear.

That you're happy to be there, I mean ... not that you got a blister. :rofl: I hope it gets better soon. :hug:

Sounds very frustrating. But you're definitely headed in the right direction. He'll come around.

Double standard? You mean, it's OK for the gander, but not for the goose? :wow:

[In_The_Wind]

44. That's exactly what I mean!

I guess his attitude came from his French background compounded by his lifestyle. Sometimes the best thing is to open up all of the old wounds and throughly clean them out so they can reheal with a minimal scar.

[AirmensMom]

47. I don't envy you that.

Opening up the old wounds can be painful. It'll be worth it in the end. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

48. Having the old baggage hanging over our heads is more uncomfortable.

BTW He isn't blaring the TV or radio at full volume any longer now that he knows I'm not going to yell at him.

It was his little comment while we were visiting Borders on Wednesday night that was the reason I decided to open the discussion. I could tell that he was uncomfortable and so was I. Now we don't need to discuss any of it again. :)

On our first date he cooked supper for us and he was surprised to hear me say that I have thought about him every time I've eaten mussels since then.

[Zomby Woof]

43. You cheerful ray of sunshine, you!

;-) :hi: AM!

[auntAgonist]

45. good morning to you too Airmen's Mom

I'm sorry Harleydad isn't going to be home as planned :(

I'm just waking up here 1st cup of coffee.

:hug:
good to see you!

[bigwillq]

46. Good morning Airmens!

:hi: Have a great day!
