Good Monday Morning, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew today! I hope you had a fun weekend! I worked both Saturday and Sunday, so that was MY weekend...that's why I hope you had fun enough for me too! And so another work week begins. I do, however, have this upcoming weekend off, so I CAN plan for some fun. Maybe we'll go to Orlando...

I've been listening to the Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack a lot since I purchased it. It's absolutely amazing music. I was reading last night on IMDB, posts about peoples favorite scenes in the movie, and that made me "re-live" the movie over again, and this time seeing things I didn't see the first time. Now, I have to go see it again so I can experience it all over again! I hope you've seen it!

[MissHoneychurch]

1. Good morning Clint

:hi:

my weekend was lazy, lazy and lazy. Oh and lazy :D

[Clintmax]

3. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
LOL! I guess you had a lazy weekend then, huh? That's OK...some of the best weekends are lazy ones!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. well, I did some household stuff

like washing my clothes. One has to wear something at work after all. But mostly I watched winter sports, read and slept :)

:hug:

[Clintmax]

13. Yes, a very relaxing weekend.

The olympics are coming up, you know! Speaking of winter sports. I love to watch them too!

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Yes, I know

I looking forward to watch the Olympic Games. And they are in Europe this time, that means I don't have to stay up late or get up way early to watch them. Only problem I can't watch it during the week.

My favorite winter sport is Biathlon. It is just fascinating. And figure scating :)

[Clintmax]

19. I'm glad you won't have to stay up late!

The only event we two don't agree on is figure skating. I've never liked that particular event myself. I do love the rest though!

[MissHoneychurch]

32. I think we can agree on something

that we both wanna watch :)

[Clintmax]

35. I'm sure we can!

I have no doubts!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. now all we have to do

is someho wcome together :)

[Clintmax]

41. That's true!

If I could just get that damned transporter fixed...

[MissHoneychurch]

43. you better get started my dear

:D

[Clintmax]

45. I know it!

I wish Scotty were here...he can fix anything! :rofl:

[swimboy]

48. Good morning, MissHoneychurch!

Your weekend sounds wonderful. I had a late lie-in Saturday but then got very busy with errands and things. I am in a better frame of mind starting this week than last week. We'll see how it goes! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. good morning swimboy

:hug:

I know what you mean. I was really glad I could sleep in this weekend and also take a nap when I wanted. Now I am rested for the new week (which already started here hours ago).

[tjwmason]

2. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Always good to see you - brightens the day so much.

How are you this morning?

:hug:

[Clintmax]

5. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
It's always good to see you too, my friend! I'm doing fine! Having some coffee and waking up with the crew! Are you doing OK there at work?

[tjwmason]

12. All's well here.

Glad that life's good with you as well.

I'm drinking some green tea (had coffee earlier), but still have yet to start working properly (bad T.J.).

I've got to engage the brain now, I need to decide what music to listen to. I was going through a load of Lefebure-Wely, but he's just finished. Any ideas? (But it does have to be on my M.P.3 player....)

[Clintmax]

14. Ideas about music from ME?

:rofl:
Surely you jest. I don't know 90% of the people you mention to me. Hey, did you get to see Brokeback over the weekend like you hoped you would?

[tjwmason]

22. I've chosen some Bach.

I hope that you've heard of him - he being the greatest composer ever.

St. Matthew Passion - should keep me going for a couple of hours, and quite a gorgeous piece especially the very famous "Erbame dich mein Gott" which is almost the definition of sublime.

Unfortunately didn't get to see it - could manage to find a time with other folks...scheduling can be a nuisance some times. We're still trying to find a mutually good time - shouldn't take too long (touch wood).

[Clintmax]

24. Oh yes, Bach.

I've heard of him. :rofl: Once you get to see the film, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[tjwmason]

36. I'll certainly let you know what I think.

But in advance, I'm not much of a cinema goer (or indeed film watcher at all) and so probably won't be able to come up with a long hearty review like you.

If you're at all interested, "Erbame dich mein Gott" is definitely worth a listen - definitely one of the pinnacles of human artistry.

[Clintmax]

37. I look forward to chatting with you about it...

I will tell you though...after reading through IMDB, I didn't understand or get some of the things that happened. I need to go see it again, and I suggest you do as well (see it at least twice).

[swimboy]

49. Hello, TJ!

:loveya: Mighty good to see you this morning! :hug:

[tjwmason]

55. Good morning swimboy.

:loveya:

Always wonderful to see you around. :hug:

[NMMNG]

4. Good morning Clint!

I had my usual weekend of course. I've managed to get a good deal of reading in though .

[Clintmax]

9. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you got to read a lot! I love to read too! How's work today?

[NMMNG]

18. Same old, same old

Just getting ready to start the morning rush...

:grouphug:

[Clintmax]

20. Ah...

The morning rush...we have those too. :grouphug:

[B Calm]

7. Good morning Clintmax

Terrible weekend. Slipped and fell bringing up a wheel barrel of wood to the house Friday night and twisted my ankle. All weekend has been a real bore trying to heal my ankle enough to go back to work today.

[Clintmax]

10. Hello, BC!

:hi:
Sorry to hear that! :cry: I have an injury also, although not as bad as yours. I was helping a customer load a big heavy wine cabinet into his truck. He on one side, I on the other. He went too fast and I slipped. I tried to keep ahold of the cabinet as I was going down and catch myself with my forearm. He had the bed of his truck sprayed with one of those spray on bed liners, so as I went down, the skin on my left forearm was scraped off. :cry:

[Scooter24]

8. Good Morning Clint...

wow...up early today? I had to work all weekend too. My desk is swamped with paperwork and post-its. x(

I think I will nominate a song for the day: Beyonce- Check On It :party:

:hug:

[Clintmax]

11. Hail, Scooter!

:hi:
Not up eary...this is normal for me. You better get on the ball and get all that paperwork done, Man! You don't want to get innundated more than you already are!

I don't think I've heard the Beyonce song. I'll check out Check On It! :rofl::hug:

[Scooter24]

15. The song is from the

new pink panther movie coming out. I say 8 out of 10 gay stars. :rofl:

Paperwork! Blah...mostly legal crap and phone calls to return today. I have a pile of stuff to be shredded but my shredder broke :(

Today is going to be one hella long day for me.

[Clintmax]

17. Long days like that sucks, Dude.

I know. As far as your shredder breaking...I guess you'll have to do it the old fashioned way...just tear them up by hand. :rofl:

[Scooter24]

21. And risk a paper cut on these hands?

Psh.. :rofl:

My new office computers, drives, and software are coming in today from Dell and a rep is coming to install them. Lord knows I won't even attempt it for fear of having to spend hours on the phone with someone from India trying to solve my problem. Then while that is going on, I have a brainstorming session with a few people trying to find a name for my business. Then a meeting with my graphic artist to get some renderings for a wedding I'm doign later this Spring completed. Then hopefully the Dell dude will be finished for me to start transferring my data from my old computer to the new ones.

I also reorganized my office over the weekend, and now I tragically can't find anything. lol

So what about your day? :rofl:

[Clintmax]

23. LOL!

I'm sorry...I didn't even THINK about papercuts. Heavens forbid! :scared:

Sounds like a full day to me! It's kind of exciting that you have new computers arriving today, though! I love that sort of thing! How is it that YOU re-organized your office and can't find anything? I could understand if your secretary did it for you...unless your memory is just going by the way side, Dude! :rofl:

I just have to work all day. I work the middle shift today so I have to be there at 11. Every day is different in retail, so I have no idea what's in store for me ANY day.

[Scooter24]

25. Hey...

This was posted in GD:Politics. I think you might enjoy it.

39. Morning Clint!

The jury's still out on the "good" part. I can't stop yawning!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

40. Hello, hello, Miss Lizzie!

:hi:
Good morning! That happens to all of us once in a while...hopefully we can help make it a god morning! :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

42. Delivering payroll returns and W-2's to a client later

this morning. The employees should be happy. The employer, :shrug:

After that, a run to the store and more places to look at to rent. My lease is up here on March 31st and it won't be a moment too soon! My neighbors were busy again this weekend. Banging around at 3am and the 75lb dog barking... I think I got 3 hours sleep Saturday night. I'm too old for this!

Have a good one!

[Clintmax]

44. YUCK! What a weekend!

good luck! I hope it's a good day for ya!

[swimboy]

46. Good morning, Cowboy Clint!

:hi: I've heard seeing that movie can turn you into a cowboy! :rofl: My week is off to a good start. I'm just back from swimming, but the water was cold today! :scared: I warmed up pretty quickly though.

Congratulations on your upcoming weekend! :hug:

[Clintmax]

47. Hail, Swimboy!

:hi::hug:
Good to see you today, Man! Just so you know...I used to BE a cowboy. I have lots of pictures of me from that time of my life, and I laugh every time I look at them. :rofl:

I'm glad you're doing good, but I'm sorry the water was so freakin cold today.

[swimboy]

52. You know,

as I was typing that, I thought you look a bit like a cowboy in the picture you post. I have to get ready to go to work now, but I'd like to know more about what that was like. :hi:

[Clintmax]

58. I have stories, Man...

When you have more time...I'll tell you couple of them.

[tjwmason]

53. I demand proof.

I want to see Clint as a cowboy.
I want to see Clint as a cowboy.
I want to see Clint as a cowboy.

[Clintmax]

62. Well, you'll have to judge that for yourself...

Give me a few minutes here...I'll see what I can do.

[Clintmax]

63. Ok, Mister...Here's Cowboy Clint!

All 19 years old and everything!

[lizziegrace]

64. Yep

With a belt buckle the size of a dinner plate. :) What'd you win that for?

[Clintmax]

65. It is a huge buckle isn't it?

:rofl:
I still have that crazy thing! I got it at the rodeo.

[tjwmason]

66. I'm very impressed

You really do look the part. (Though I can see why it might just make you laugh a tad now.)

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

67. *smirk* Are you making fun of me, TJ?

:rofl:

[tjwmason]

68. Not at all.

There's no way that I post many pictures of me at that age - and you're definitely starting to look adorable there.......

[swimboy]

70. I'm all Achy-Breaky now!

Thanks for posting the great picture! I can't take my eyes off your belt buckle! I do want to hear about your cowboy days. :pals:

[swimboy]

71. Thanks for lobbying for the cowboy photo!

I'm glad I could be a catalyst in the process. Our Clint makes a really cute cowpoke doesn't he?

[tjwmason]

72. He sure does

Queenie fits can be worth it at times......

[swimboy]

73. Hmmm.

I want to see TJ as a gladiator.
I want to see TJ as a gladiator.

I want to see TJ as a gladiator.

Or a galley slave. :evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

74. If I but had the pictures

They'd be winging their merry to you right now.

That said, there are other types of slave I'd rather be than a galley one :evilgrin:

[Callalily]

50. Morning Clint!

I had a great weekend. The Iron Chef Soirée was a great success. There must have been at least 50 people there. The secret ingredient ended up to be soy sauce. We did manage to make a great desert though. We poached pears and made a honey/soy sauce glaze. And to top it off we put edible gold on a very nice piece of dark chocolate. Exceedingly yummy.


Wishing all a great day!

[Clintmax]

51. Hello, SimplyF!

:hi:
Sounds like you had a good time! I was wondering how it went! So...who won?

[Callalily]

57. They decided

not to do any judging, because of our team coming in at the last minute. But . . . IMHO, I think that we would have won.

[Clintmax]

59. Well good for you!

Those pears look DELICIOUS!

[MissHoneychurch]

60. that looks really yummy

glad you had so much fun


:hi:

[newyawker99]

69. Good morning everyone!

:donut: :hi:

[Beware the Beast Man]

75. Morning, Clintmax!

:hi:
