I have washed two loads of laundry this morning. What have you accomplished

[Tuesday Afternoon]

this fine Saturday morning?

:donut: :hi:

on edit: I just put the third load in to wash.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Got out of bed,

went to the bathroom and fed the cats. I will also make some coffee.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. I see you have your priorities in order.

:D :hi:

[Moondog]

3. Nothing yet. I'll probably clean out a drawer in

my filing cabinet. Lots of stuff to be run through the shredder. The trick is figuring out something to distract myself from the boredom.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. You can do it...

"...distract myself from the boredom."

I have some faith in you that, this is not an impossible task.

[Moondog]

7. Autohypnosis, perhaps.

:boring:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Are you in for a lazy Saturday? There is nothing wrong with that.

Naps are a good thing ;)

[Moondog]

12. It may come to that. Hopefully not. n/t

[NJmaverick]

4. I have ate, bathed and dress

and fixed a website problem and notifed another website owner of a bad link that took readers to a porn site.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. Productivity!

Impressive :D

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

59. Hey, I thought porn was why the internets were invented. duh.

You screwed up dude.

:yoiks:

[hobbit709]

8. Got the trash out, fed the dogs and cooked breakfast.

Now I'm goofing off on DU.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. What was for breakfast? I had a boiled egg....meh

diets suck x(

[hobbit709]

13. My version of breakfast tacos

Scrambled eggs with sauteed onion and jalopenos, on warmed tortillas with cheese and bacon. Fresh Ethiopian coffee on the side.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. damn. that sounds good

:9

[Bertha Venation]

11. I changed old Harry the cat's puppy pads twice, and cleaned up

his hork. Poor old boy.

Off to bathe, then to a desperately needed haircut, then the dry cleaner, then the grocery store, then back home to do the White Tornado!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. what is the White Tornado?

:hi: Hi Bertha :hug:

poor Harry. :( Give him a scritch for me.

[Bertha Venation]

32. I will. He loves scritchies from his DU pals.

:hug:

The White Tornado is a reference to an old Ajax household cleanser commercial. The commercial portrayed the product as a white tornado ripping through the house to leave everything sparkling. That is my today's task. :(

[cwydro]

15. I got up at 5, made coffee, and went running for 40 minutes.

Took a shower, got dressed, fed the furry fiends, drove to work.

Been here for 3 hours now.B-)

Do I get a gold star?:bounce: :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. I think I do see a gold star by your name............

:D :hi:

I should start running again. How far do you run in 40 minutes?

[cwydro]

21. Lol!

You want me to put that on the INTERWEBS!!!???

Depends how fast I am running on that day, but I'm no speedster.:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. You know, I really don't think it matters as long as you get your heart rate

up for over 20 minutes. If you did 3-4 miles in that amount of time, I think that would be plenty impressive for the average human.

[cwydro]

27. Oh, I'm a running addict.

When I run races, I finish in the middle of the pack - an average runner.

I generally run 4 to 5 miles 5 days a week.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. so then, you are doing 10 minute miles....

right?

:thumbsup:

[cwydro]

33. Just a wee bit faster...

and on my faster days I can break 9!:rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. That is what I was doing, back in the day...

9 minute miles. I was ok with that. I hate to think what I would do now. :o

[cwydro]

43. For me, it is more important how far I run

rather than how fast.

I love to run; it's more of a mental health thing for me...jut to run and run - alone with my thoughts. It settles my overactive mind down and makes me peaceful.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

45. I never was into the speed either or the distance...

I think I just ran because if felt right. Although, the zen never did really kick in for me and after about 30-45 minutes, I was ready to call it quits on the running for the day :shrug:

[cwydro]

47. Some days I run for an hour.

40 minutes is where the endorphins start kicking in for me. A nice natural high...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

48. I never could push past the pain of the first 40 to get to the endorphin

high :D

Water skiing is my endorphin high

[cwydro]

68. Omg,

I have not waterskiied in YEARS. I would LOVE to go waterskiing.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

69. Girl, You are living in Key West !!

Why are you NOT water skiing ?????????????????????????

:wtf:

[cwydro]

74. I never see much of that down here.

I've been knee boarding and tubing behind a boat, but only seen skiing a few times. Probably the shallow waters make it not so doable...to get deep you have to go pretty far offshore and then you're in some rougher water.

[armyowalgreens]

89. I guess it depends on the person. It would take at least an hour of steady running...

to get runners high.

However, when I raced 5Ks I got a runners high a couple times.

But the only other times I've gotten it is during marathons.

[Roon]

76. An interesting observation I have made when I used to run

It was easier to run when I was a 17-year-old smoker than it was running and being a non-smoker at 40.

[cwydro]

77. Lol.

I have never been a smoker, but I know what you mean on some days.

All in all though, my running has improved as I've gotten older.

[Roon]

90. Nice!

eom

[Bunny]

17. Cleaned the house, did a load of laundry (with more to come),

made breakfast, got a shower, and spent time reading a very romantic message from my baby.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. Does your baby post on DU?

I am happy for you Bunny. It is nice to be in love.

[Bunny]

38. He might.

;)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. heehee

I wonder if I can guess who it is :)

[tigereye]

95. hey - new romance? I'm way behind...

if so - happy for you! You are most deserving, my friend! :hi: :thumbsup:

[SoxFan]

19. Scratched myself and fed the cats

That's asking a lot before the caffeine kicks in.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. Ever notice how one feeds that cats First Thing. I bet you

scratched yourself while on the way to Feed The Cats :)

Have a cup :donut:

[SoxFan]

44. They make damn sure that's the case!

Especially Brianna, the Maine Coon mix. She's a motormouth who makes it very clear that her breakfast is the first order of business!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. She is gorgeous.

Give her a scritch for me :loveya:

[Arugula Latte]

98. Yes -- That is the law of the universe. Feed The Kitties First.

I do that before I make coffee or do anything for myself or my family.

Proud to serve. :patriot:

[In_The_Wind]

20. I have deleted hundreds of old emails,

copied 20 or so of my CDs (I either wear 'em out or give 'em away), consumed two cups of coffee, put away clothes I won't be taking on the road with me when I head southwest escorting for the winter ... I haven't slowed down much since getting home from Thedford Mine / Black Horse Ontario a week and a half ago.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. Joani !!!!!!

You have been on my mind :hug:

Good to see you :loveya:

Sounds like your business is going well.

Check my journal, there is something in there especially for you :)

[bikebloke]

22. I managed to nomalize my sleep cycle.

After two weeks of hard travel and not a lot of sleep in Turkey, my circadian was completely out of rhythm. Jet lag has never been much of a problem with me, balancing in a day or two. This time it has taken a week.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. I think it is harder to adjust, the older one gets...not saying that you

are old are anything. Just saying. :hi:

[bikebloke]

92. I adapted last year's trip real quick.

Because of limited time, I pushed myself harder than normal, along with curtailed sleep (compounded by nocturnal Ramadan activities going on outside). I'm surprised I didn't catch a cold which usually happens after severe knackeredness.

Being immortal, I don't have to worry about growing old. :P

[NNadir]

25. I read a paper on the behavior of plutonium oxide in chloride matrices.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. and what did you learn from it?

smartypants, you are :D :hi:

[NNadir]

34. Well, among other things, that dismantled nuclear weapons - who can object to that? -

can contain significant amounts of salts. I'm not quite sure why that it is. It may involve a dissolution process. Most nuclear weapons plutonium is an alloy with gallium, to prevent phase issues.

Also I learned that these salts, under certain circumstances, can generate hydrogen chloride gas.

I sort of knew that, but didn't think about it all that much so it was a nice reminder.

Well, you asked...

:-)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. question...about this phrase:

"...can generate hydrogen chloride gas."


is that a Bad Thing?

[NNadir]

39. It depends on the context. If one is trying to store plutonium for a long time, yes.

I personally favor fissioning plutonium. Under certain circumstances, therefore, the answer is no, but it's somewhat complicated to explain.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

41. what do you think are the benefits of fissioning plutonium?

I am fast getting in over my head :o

[rug]

37. I got in about an hour of SpongeBob.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. SpongeBob

SquarePants :D

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

[Liberal_in_LA]

49. I washed one load

[Tuesday Afternoon]

51. I am now folding my third (and last) load...

:hi:

[seabeyond]

50. on SECOND cup of coffee so fingers able to type this post. read gd. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

52. reading GD....

can be painful for your mental health :) :hi:

[seabeyond]

58. lol

four or five years ago there was a shift in my mental health. go figure. maybe that was it.

thanks doc.

[Hepburn]

53. It not quite 8:30 AM on the West Coast....

...I have:

Drafted an answer with 11 affirmative defenses to a complaint for money,

Folded two loads of laundry ~~ hung to dry yesterday,

Loaded and emptied the dishwasher,

Fed the dog a gor-mut breakfast ~~ baked chicken and steamed rice with fresh carrots,

Emptied the trash and watered my tomato plant,

Picked up the house and made the bed,

Talked to my best guy pal on the phone,

Had four cups of coffee and a piece of cinnamon toast,

And gave the finger to the bitch that lives next door.

Yawn....time for a nap....:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

55. time for a nap ??? on 4 cups of coffee !!! I defy you to do it --

as for your accomplishments....this one might just be the greatest of them all

And gave the finger to the bitch that lives next door.


:rofl:

:hi:

[Hepburn]

60. Hell, I can drink two pots of coffee an hour before bed time and still fall asleep.

But...giving the finger to the bitch next door was the best part of the day.

:hi:

[graywarrior]

54. I wrote a storyboard and drafted out a short story.

I started at 2 am, went back to bed, got up at 8 and finished it. Now I am doing Illustrator Pen exercises and wanting to kill myself over it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

56. You love it. You know you do.

:P

[graywarrior]

57. I'm addicted to writing now.

I can't stop.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

61. when the muse calls one must answer.

good to hear it. Happy for you gray.

[graywarrior]

71. Thanks, Tuesday Afternoon (which happens to be my favorite time and day--Writing class)

[Inspired]

62. I just gave Bank of America half of my paycheck.

And I paid off 2 department store credit cards. Today was my 'put a dent in my debt' day. I'll be broke for a few weeks because of it but it felt good to make a little progress. There's a long way to go though. No one's fault but my own.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

64. I feel your pain.

Debt sucks x(

Good on you for dealing with it :toast:

[crispini]

63. I cleaned the kitchen and started the dishwasher!

Go me!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. Go You!

[av8rdave]

66. I'm washing the first load.

[madmom]

67. Delivered a car load of donated items to our local mall for a charity bazaar raffle our

volunteer group is holding today.Will take my turn manning the booth later today.

[eauclaireliberal]

70. Made some sausage patties and continue to study for pharmacology exam

[MineralMan]

72. Well, I avoided doing the laundry. I consider that quite

an accomplishment.

[abq e streeter]

73. got up, ate breakfast , went back to bed, got back up and read and answered your question

its almost noon, time to get moving...(or not)

[Blue Diadem]

75. Got up, made coffee, sat around talking to my daughter and granddaughter.

Made us some breakfast, then granddaughter and I put up some decorations for Halloween.

I got a couple loads of laundry done last night.

Now I'm debating, do I go upstairs and work in my closet or do I vac the never ending dog & cat hair? Maybe I'll just sit around and read DU.

[Cant trust em]

78. "accomplishing things" is for the week.

Today my accomplishments have included waking up, sitting in bed for the next two hours and reading.

I have washed a bunch of dishes that we left from last night.

[TommyO]

79. Grocery shopping and getting the chemicals to close the pool with.

Laundry will come later today.

Tuesday: If it stops raining, take down wind chimes, dig out snow shovels, cut down wild flower gardens.

It's a full, exciting life.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

83. This morning my car keys disappeared. I looked for them for quite awhile

and finally had to use the spare ones so I could run errands. When I came back I looked some more. And looked. And looked. I dug at least three times into a bag of trash I was about to take out, looked in the garage, looked in the garden, dumped out the contents of my purse and a couple of tote bags, checked all my pockets, sorted out and threw away a whole pile of stuff where they could have disappeared, and once again rummaged in the trash bag. And there they were. I have now idea how they wound up there, but I suspect that cats were somehow involved.

My day is now complete and I can relax.

[tigereye]

96. that was me and my cell phone today

Finally found it in my purse.... :yoiks: Oh and then I hid the comics somewhere by mistake- could not find them anywhere. My husband was bummed since they are what he mainly reads... :D I suspect my son made off with em...

[asdjrocky]

84. Dishes. 1 load. Watered my plants.

And now I'm stoned. Pretty good day so far. Later I'll make some stakes for friends and family and then I'm going to see the new Michael Moore movie.

I love my life.

[proteus_lives]

85. Visited the folks. Cleaned up the apt a little.

And I'm to some grocery shopping and transcribe some notes tonight. A nice quiet saturday night. Just what the doctor ordered.

[Arugula Latte]

86. Hmm ...

Fed cats, read paper, worked out (at home), cleaned up the kitchen, made my kids and myself breakfast & lunch, helped son w/ math homework he's redoing, picked up daughter & friend from play rehearsal, now I'm doing a little desk work (well, not this second 'cuz I'm on DU) and going to throw a load of laundry in, then have to take daughter to pick out a present for her friend's b-day, etc. etc. We are having drinks w/ friends later, so there IS a cocktail or two looming in my future.

[Inchworm]

87. Facilitated 11 spay/neuters

and one kitty adoption. Well, not so much the adoption (I just did/checked paperwork).

A good day indeed.

Whars mah beyah?!

:toast:

[Arugula Latte]

97. Yay, you!

Kitty Helpers are at the very top of my list of good people! :applause: :yourock: :thumbsup: :hi:

[armyowalgreens]

88. I went to the driving range. Hit a ball 260 yards.

Not bad for a skinny dude that hasn't picked up a club in 4 months.

[Xipe Totec]

91. Sorted 80 lbs of shallots, 70 lbs of garlic n/t

[tigereye]

93. well, on Saturday I got up early, drove to a volunteer event and found out

it was the wrong day - whoops! and then went to my tai chi class. Then I had a late Thai lunch out with the husband. Next a nap and a few loads of laundry and some other housework.

Then today (Sunday) I did more laundry and put a bunch of it away, swept the basement, took a walk with the husband, planted a bunch of fall bulbs and weeded some, and now it's time to cook dinner. Usually I work too and then go grocery shopping, but I didn't have any appointments today. (yay!)

[Maestro]

94. For both Sat. and Sunday

I rode 30 miles. Sunday's ride was in the rain, but refreshing.

[jmowreader]

99. I had a nice refreshing Saturday morning...

I started my engine at 3am and pulled 43,000 pounds of salad oil from Little Rock, Arkansas, to New Braunfels, Texas. When I got to my destination (a Sams Club distribution center) I exchanged my trailer for an empty one and parked for what I thought was going to be twelve hours.

This morning, it was raining its ass off in New Braunfels, so my satellite communications weren't working. I had to drive the truck to a different truck stop to get a clear shot at the satellite. (For some reason my Qualcomm does that shit...once I was completely off the air for five hours until I got disgusted and pulled the truck forward two feet.) I got another load: go to San Antonio today, pick up 44,000 pounds of scrap aluminum and haul it to Berea, Kentucky. I've supposedly got three days to do it, but it will only take two. I've got three choices for routes: go back up through Dallas, cut across I-30 and head north from there; go to Dallas then go east on I-20; or run down I-10 into Louisiana and go north from there. I haven't been down I-10 in about a month, I-35's boring as shit (although if I DO go that way I can write down the exit Willie Nelson's truck stop--yes, he has one--is at) and I promised my wife I was going to try to pick up a can of LSU Tiger Dust for my parents because it's sugar-free...so I-10 it is. I was actually TRYING to get the load today, but the shipping clerk isn't there. Strangely enough, the shipping clerk is the only person in the whole shipper's company who's off today.

[kentauros]

100. Considering I went to sleep at 7:30 and slept until 2:30,

nothing this morning ;)

This evening I answered an email from my gf that I'd been putting off since Friday night because I really didn't want to answer it.
Things are a bit strained at the moment.


Now I'm wiped out! :P
