[SeattleGirl]

[huskerlaw]

3. Hey Heidi!

:hi:

:hug:

Great to see you here...and with a Nighthawk thread! :D

[Heidi]

7. *Envy*

Thank you for taking your energy to Elizabeth Edwards, huskerlaw! I bet she's even more beautiful in person! :hug:

By the way: :loveya:

[huskerlaw]

22. Hee hee...

well, trust me...I had more energy afterwards than I did before, so I think I stole some from her!

She's AMAZING. Really, so sweet and generous. And she has a fabulous smile, which she uses often.

She fielded some extremely tough questions with grace and intelligence. I think everyone walked away having learned something and feeling even more confident in their support for John.

I simply adore her...obviously.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Heidi...

I cannot tell you how much I have missed these wonderful threads...

And how many very special and warm memories I have of them, back from the summer of 2005...

That time is past now...but the memories remain brightly in my heart...

Thank you for resuming...

I hope you're well!



:loveya:

:hug:

[Heidi]

8. Peggy!

Hi, you! :loveya: :hug: :pals:

So far, it's all ladies in Nighthawks #69. Where are our guys????? This is a MIXER! :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I see that!

I have no idea where the guys are!

Maybe all the party poopers went to bed already!

Maybe if enigmatic shows up, he'll drag in some of our guys!

:loveya: :hug: :pals:

:bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hey Peggy!

Isn't this great????

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear SeattleGirl!

It is fabulous!

I have missed these threads so damn much!

Good to see you tonight, sweetie...

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Me too!

And it's good to see you!

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. Hello... What OS and Browser are you using?

I need web page checked on Windows. I was wondering if you could take a look..

[Heidi]

12. I use both Explorer and Firefox.

For you --> :*

(Send me a PM.)

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. Will do..

[Heidi]

18. P.S.: Windows. (nt)

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. And yet, the same people (and kittehs) haunt the café

Ah, well. At least we're consistent. :crazy:

[Heidi]

14. They're "the regulars."

:rofl:

:imissyou,oedi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Ever notice

none of the regulars at Cheers were women?

:shrug:

[Heidi]

31. Yeah,

but they were just there to cruise Norm. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. NORM!

Remember the "chubby chaser" chick who had the hots for him and Paul? :rofl:

Argh! What was the old dude's name? The one who had the occasional "gotcha" line, like, "Don't mention it, honey"? And the 30-ish, dark-haired guy who sat on the other side, one or two stools from the corner, next to Paul?

[Heidi]

36. You'll have to run that by CMW.

TV generally lulls me to sleep, so I miss much of the nuance. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. Found 'em at IMDB

The old guy was Phil, and this I didn't know: he was Rhea Perlman's dad.

The dark-haired dude was Tim.

And Paul's last name in the show was... Krapence. :D

[SeattleGirl]

17. Hey Oedi!

Sup, dude? :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. *waves*

Mostly, I've been wondering which ball club(s) to root for in the post-season. :(

Oh — got the teevee camera gig again for the local community college football. First game's tomorrow night. :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Sweet! Bet that will be fun!

Think I'm gonna root for the Cubbies.

I am an American League girl, but Sweet Lou Pinella is the manager for the Cubbies, so I think I'll have to root for them.

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. Yeah, the Cubs are a given

I'm a sucker for the underdog, the downtrodden, the long-suffering.

But I gotta figure all the pairings. The AL looks like it'll start with the Angels at Boston and the Jankees at Cleveland. I'm sorta torn on the first one between Kollyforniya loyalty and really wanting to see a Sox-Cubs World Series.

Okay, I just decided. :D

NL, can't tell yet. I'd like to see the Rockies in post-season, though, just for the novelty of it. And I hope the Mets can get the East back from the Phillies.

(I gotta friend near San Diego who grew up in south Jersey, so he's a fan of both the Phillies and Madres. It just wouldn't do if he had two clubs in the playoffs.)

[SeattleGirl]

43. I'm so sick of the Jankees being in the post season.

For once, I'd like to see them have a really bad year!

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Every March, I pray to the Dogs of Baseball for two things:

• A really good pennant race involving the Dodgers. (They don't have to win, just so it's right down to the wire with three or four clubs, so every night I get to listen to one game while monitoring two or three others at mlb.com.)

• The Jankees to go 0-162.

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

48. Oooooh, I like that!

0-162!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Oeditpus Rex]

54. Yeah, but the Dogs of Baseball aren't that benevolent

So I'll settle for under .500.

Oh — and it'd also be really cool if A-Clod got so far out in front of a change-up that he screwed himself into the ground, like in the cartoons.

In his first at-bat of the season. :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

56. Bwahahahaha! Wouldn't that be a picture!

:rofl:

So would watching Steinbrenner explode if the Janks were under .500!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. Not to mention the silence of the Jankee fans

Ooooo, how sweet that would be.

[SeattleGirl]

61. A DEAFENING silence!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. I was just looking at the Jankees' records in the '60s

after they fired Yogi Berra for losing the '64 Series to St. Louis. They were 99-63 that year, and 104-57 the year before under Ralph Houk (and lost the Series to the Dodgers :D ). They lured Johnny Keane away from St. Louis and promptly dropped to sixth at 77-85, then fired him 20 games into the '66 season when they started 4-16. They ended up dead last at 70-89 and didn't finish higher than second for the next nine years.

Ah, those were the days. :D

[In_The_Wind]

20. So that's why I'm so awake!

I haven't done Nighthawk hours in a very long time.


:hi::loveya:

[Heidi]

21. omgoodness!!!!!!!!

JOANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

:loveya: madly, dear! :* :loveya: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

26. I missed the heck outta my overnight pals.

I just can't seem to sleep through the night sometimes and it gets kinda lonely here on the east coast around 3AM!

[Heidi]

32. I'm sooooooooo happy to see you.

(And I'm always here around 3 a.m. eastern, even if I'm not posting. :hug: :loveya: )

[In_The_Wind]

37. I'm always happy to see the champion of Warrior Women!

I was moving furniture around 3 last night measuring and moving the old stuff again one last time before mr.a moves it into his bedroom.
I'll be shipping all of the stuff in Lighthouse Point north in a few months.

[Heidi]

38. You're more of a warrior woman than I am, Joani.

I only move furniture in order to clean under and behind it -- IF then. :rofl: :spray:

[In_The_Wind]

45. I have no choice at the moment.

I had a serious mouse invasion in NY (got rid of over a dozen in two weeks back in July & August) and a rat invasion in Fl. When you live in a country setting with pets in the house :shrug: sometimes aggressive measures are the only way to survive the onslaught of nature.

BTW I haven't cleaned behind my dresser since the room was painted the year I wintered in South Carolina back in 2003/04. I wonder how much money and how many missing crystals I'll find as I sanitize the place before moving the new stuff home.
mr.a was surprised every time he visited last winter white ceramic tile floors will inspire neatness!

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hey Joani!

How nice to see you! :hi: :pals:

[In_The_Wind]

27. You are up late & I'm up way too early!

It's great to see you too, my old friend. :pals: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

29. So are you in NY or Florida right now?

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

40. I'm in NY until 10/10.

Then I'll be traveling with billyskank for 2 weeks.

Sometime in November or December I'm going to pack and ship everything to NY. We need to create empty spaces for 3 rooms of new stuff. I'm not leaving here until that's done or at least well into the final stages.

After that I'm taking Miss Frodo traveling with me (for the cold winter months) in a gently used 13 foot travel trailer pulled by a new Jeep complete with a navigation system so I can find my way. It's gotten difficult to read road signs and watch out for the other guys at night.

[SeattleGirl]

41. Wow, you're gonna be busy, girl!

Your trip with Miss Frodo sounds great, though.

[In_The_Wind]

52. That's my reward to myself for surviving this year!

I've been moving nonstop since early May.



I've got so many good things in front of me but I've still got a lot of cleaning to do before I can go off on a picture taking excursion. :) I still have a gallery that wants to hang my work but I'm not ready yet.

[SeattleGirl]

55. Wow, a gallery! That is so cool!

Congrats, Joani! Let me know when you finally are ready to show your work.

[In_The_Wind]

60. Will do.

I think I'll check the woodstove one more time and then see if I can catch a few more hours of sleep.

Goodnight Ruby :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Night, Joani.

:loveya:

[fizzgig]

46. oh gods heidi

i can't tell you how badly i needed friendly faces right now

:)

[Heidi]

47. kagehime!!!!!

Me, too, gf. I miss y'all Nighthawks terribly. Are you okay? :hug:

:loveya: :*

[fizzgig]

50. i'm feeling a bit beat down and a lot pissed off, but i'll be fine

it takes a lot more than tonight to knock this girl down (yes, i ended with a preposition, but i think it just sounds better right now :P)

:loveya:

[Heidi]

53. GOOD!

You go, warrior woman! :hug: :loveya:

[Ptah]

49. Wow, I hope I'm not too late.

This is a pleasant flashback, Heidi.
Thanks for opening the cafe.

[Heidi]

51. Ptah, my friend,

you are NEVER too late. :hug:

I thought of you the other day while passing a field of sunflowers here in the blue south of Switzerland. :loveya: :loveya:

[Ptah]

57. I noticed your snow thread the other day and felt sad for you.

We're still quite warm, with 26 days above 90 F this month.

:loveya: :hug:

[Heidi]

58. *Envy*

I'm a warm-weather person. :cry:

[Ptah]

63. Now I remember, you are from Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.

Here's a Montana pic to simulate Oklahoma.
