Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: The weekend is here! :woohoo: I hope you had a good week and that you have some fun activities planned for the next two days. I have to work, but that's OK...such is retail.

When I logged into DU just now and looked at the currect threads, I saw that there are nine (yes, 9!) locked threads in the Lounge! :scared: I thought to myself; "OK...what have I walked into here?" That has GOT to be some kind of record for the Lounge. Wow. :shrug:

I got my new glasses yesterday and had the doc check out my contacts. They sent the right prescription and they were sitting correctly on my eyes, so he ordered me a new pair of trials to see if I can see well out of those again. So, I guess it's glasses for a while until I get those in.

I still don't have a resolution from Roxio, but I'm not giving up. They have this one last chance to get it fixed or I'm going to get a refund. x(

So, are you ready to get the weekend started? Me too! So let's get going! :bounce:

2. Morning Clint!

I was wondering about the state of Lounge: Page 1 myself. :shrug:

How'd you sleep last night?

[Clintmax]

4. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
I checked out each thread, and I guess there's been a lot of Flaming going on. Craziness! I slept just fine, thank you! Laid down to read and was asleep in under five minutes! :rofl: Did you sleep well?

[Mutley]

5. Yeah.

I turned in at about 11, and was out like a light. I'm up a little earlier than I would've liked, though. I'll have to check out the threads and see what went on. I'm nosy like that. :P

[Clintmax]

9. Me too!

:rofl:
I'm glad you slept OK. I woke up just as the alarm was getting ready to go off also.

[Mutley]

19. At least we can admit it.

:P

So, you working today?

[Clintmax]

35. Yes, m.

I have to open the store this morning and then I open and close tomorrow. Retail, dont'cha know. :rofl:

[Mutley]

44. I don't miss it!

:D

[Clintmax]

50. I'm sure you don't.

:D
I've done it so long, though...I wouldn't know how to act if I worked a job where I didn't have to work weekends! :rofl:

[Mutley]

60. You act joyous.

:P

It's like a whole new world.

[Clintmax]

62. Oh, I'm sure it feels that way!

Maybe someday, I'll get to see what that's like!

[Mutley]

75. What else would you be interested in doing?

[Clintmax]

79. Well....

I've thought about several things...being an Air Traffic Controller, being a Real Estate Agent...several others. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a train driver! :rofl:

[Mutley]

83. Train driver would be cool!

You can make a lot of money as a Real Estate agent, but you still have to work weekends. I think the same goes for Air Traffic Controller.

You're just doomed to work Saturdays for life no matter what. :D

[Clintmax]

90. Yeah, I guess I am...

Give me some suggestions then...what are some of YOUR ideas?

[Mutley]

92. I'll probably have to work weekends, too.

If I'm a teacher I'll be grading and making lesson plans. If I'm in editing... well hell, as far as I can tell they never stop working. :P

[Clintmax]

95. Yes...

Greekspeak is going to be a professor and THAT will be a seven day a week job too.

[Mutley]

96. We're all in the same boat, then.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

102. Yep! You got it!

:hug:

[Mutley]

119. Or we could win the lottery and live in luxury forever.

:D

[Clintmax]

130. THAT would be great wouldn't it!

I'd travel all over the world! Live comfortably and give to good causes!

[Mutley]

134. Me too.

But I can only dream since I never buy lottery tickets. :P

[Clintmax]

141. I have bought a few in the past...

but none in the past three years. I guess you have to play to win, huh? :shrug:

[Mutley]

148. I've bought them at times, too.

But I usually forget about it.

[Clintmax]

154. The only time I've bought them is when the prize is REALLY big.

Like over 90 million! But, I would watch the drawing every time too. It was like after the first number was drawn, I'd look at my numbers and go: "Well, shit." :rofl:

[Mutley]

159. It's torturous!

:P

[Clintmax]

167. Uh...yeah, to say the least.

:D

[Mutley]

171. ...

:D

I'm reminded of that cheerleading girl in Grease whenever someone says that. :rofl:

"Isn't it the most? To say the least!"

[Clintmax]

175. ROFL!

Oh, wow. I forgot about that! :rofl: I love that movie!

[Mutley]

178. Who doesn't?

:shrug:

:D

[Clintmax]

181. Dunno...

but they'd have to be crazy! Did you like Grease 2?

[Mutley]

184. It was alright...

but it could never top the first one.

[Clintmax]

187. No...

but Michael Carrington was a HOTTIE! :woohoo:

[Mutley]

188. LOL!

True. True. :D

[Clintmax]

189. I have to go get ready for work now, Miss Mutley.

It was great talking to you today! :bounce: I'll see you on Monday morning, OK? :hug::loveya:

[Mutley]

See you Monday.

Have a good weekend, Clint.

:hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

196. You too, my dear!

:hug::loveya:

[tjwmason]

53. Good morning Mutley,

:hi:

How are you today?

:hug:

[Mutley]

70. Look, we're crossing wires again.

:P

I am well. How about you?

[tjwmason]

118. All's fine here.

I was up until about 3 a.m. though - thanks to caffeine over-load. :crazy:

[Mutley]

120. I read about your new toys and the adventure you had with them.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:7

[tjwmason]

125. That was fun.

But not really very advisable.

[Mutley]

126. I was actually considering having some coffee myself last night

until I read that. :P

[tjwmason]

137. It depends.

First, I got major insomnia in my second year at university - since then I've never drunk coffee in the evenings, so I'm not used to it.

Secondly, I always drink coffee at rocket fuel strength.

Your body might be less delicate than mine.

[Mutley]

151. Delicate. Pshaw!

I like mine good and strong, too.

[tjwmason]

155. I am a delicate little flower.

At least when it comes to caffine I am.

Now you've made me :cry: with your harsh insults.

[Mutley]

Hey, you called me delicate.

:D

:hug: :hug:

[tjwmason]

165. No I didn't.

Adding slander to your other crimes now are we? :P

[Mutley]

172. But I'm a good girl.

I keep trying to tell everyone that. :P

O8)

[tjwmason]

176. Was that said in an Eliza Doolittle voice?

If so, you're forgiven simply on the basis of referencing "My Fair Lady".

[Mutley]

179. Um, yeah, definately.

:P

My cousin was in a production of My Fair Lady a year or so ago.

[tjwmason]

200. Then everything's most splendid indeed.

:woohoo: :hug:

[Mutley]

201. Sweet.

:hug:

[ZombieNixon]

3. Will I get banned if I post in this thread just before I go to sleep?

:scared:

Good morning, everyone! :hi:

[Mutley]

6. It's about time you joined the Morning Crew.

x(


:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

8. I'm almost considering staying up now.

It's like pulling an all-nighter except without the whole work thing. I like it much better this way. :D

[Clintmax]

12. Yes, it's much better this way, I'm sure!

When you have to go to work, staying up all night (or getting up extra early) isn't easy! Hang out with us for a while, Dude! :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

30. I think I will.

:)

[Clintmax]

36. YAY!

It's good to have you here, Mister Man! :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

40. Great to be here, Clint.

Hey, how about them Cubs, I hear they're having a really crappy season, but hey, what else is new?

OK, I'm going to stop pretending I'm being interviewed now. :blush:

[Clintmax]

52. LOL!

Sorry...I didn't mean to make you feel like you were being interviewed! :rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

56. Nah, it's OK. Good practice.

:D

[Clintmax]

63. Oh, ok.

:rofl:
DO you plan on getting interviewed a lot or something?

[ZombieNixon]

76. Well, when you're all working for me, they'll want to talk to someone.

}(

It's *light* out again...which mean I need to grab some...well, I can't call it a night's sleep...more like an über-long power nap! :hi:

Maybe I'll be back up before this sinks too far down! :D

[Clintmax]

81. Ok, Man.

I can understand you needing a LITTLE sleep. Have a good rest, Zombie!

[Mutley]

17. You should see this thread when it really gets kickin'!

It rocks. :yourock:

[ZombieNixon]

33. I've run into a couple leftover morning threads,

on the rare occasions I'm up and on DU before 10 AM or so. They've been interesting. :)

[Mutley]

46. They are, they are.

The weekday ones are better, though, since more people are around.

[ZombieNixon]

58. Damn.

:(

I can never be up this early on a weekday.

[Mutley]

67. Sure you can.

Just go to bed sometime before midnight. :P

[ZombieNixon]

78. Yeah, what planet do you live on?

:eyes:

:P

I'm going to bed *now*! :hi:

[Mutley]

80. Planet Real World.

:P

Sleep well, Zombie.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

85. Well, when I'm awake this early, I'm really just up very late. nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

84. How long have you been up for?

Myself, I managed to sleep until 7pm yesterday after being awake for nearly 48 hours. No reason, just awake.

[ZombieNixon]

99. Only 17 hours.

But two days ago I'd been awake for 52 hours and doing two of those in one week would probably be bad.

My bedtime = now! :boring:

[Clintmax]

7. Hail, Zombie!

:hi:
I hope you don't, Man! :rofl: Good morning to you too! Welcome to the early morning crew thread! :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

10. OK, maybe I won't go to sleep just yet.

But then that makes my "Good night" thread a liar. :dilemma:

[Hissyspit]

20. I do that all the time!

[tjwmason]

51. Yes - ban the Zombie.

:P

How are you this fine day?

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

55. In disbelief that I'm still awake.

And self pity at the fact that my window faces west and I can't see the sunrise. (Yeah, I know it's downtown but I can see Lake Michigan from the room across the hall - the room that isn't mine. x()

[KitchenWitch]

11. Hi Master Clintmax!

The KitchenWitch family has busy times ahead. My husband interviewed for jobs in southern California this past week. No offers as of yet, but we are expecting that there will be. We will likely be moving before the end of the summer.

[Clintmax]

14. Good Morning, Miss Kitchen!

:hi::hug:
Wow...you're moving soon too! Seems like everyone is moving now or preparing to move! What city would you like to live in in southern Cali??

[KitchenWitch]

27. We will be living in Irvine

and attempting to turn Orange County blue!

[Clintmax]

38. Well good luck with THAT job!

:rofl:
I thought most of California was blue anyway. Did you find the only red area, my dear? :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

43. I think there may be 3-4 pockets of red in a sea of blue!

I just happened to find one.

I live in a red area in Minnesota, so it is not an unfamiliar feeling.

[Clintmax]

54. Ah...I used to like in Missouri...

Red central! :rofl: SO, it's not unfamiliar to me either.

[Robeson]

13. Morning Clint! It's been a wild one....

...hope all is well!...:hi:

[Clintmax]

15. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
It's good to see you again this morning, my friend! :bounce: Yes, it looks like it has! Crazy times, Man! Crazy times!

[Sugar Smack]

16. Good morning sweetie pie.

Uh, yeah. I just logged on and was utterly bewildered. I felt like I had to go into GD, where things made sense. :hi: :donut:

[Clintmax]

22. Good Morning, Miss Sugar!

:hi::hug:
That's funny...that's the second thing I thought also! Did I go into GD by mistake?? :shrug: :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

105. I accidentally wandered in there once.

I read about three threads before I realized where I was. I was concerned that the lounge was so serious. Good thing I realized where I was before I started posting nonsensical replies...which I've actually done before in GD (on purpose though). You know...just wander in and post about kudzu and leave the thread like a ninja.

[Clintmax]

112. LOL!

I'm sure THAT went over well! :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

124. Actually, I was just ignored.

I'm not sure if they actually hit the button, but no one responded. I was kind of sad about that.

[Clintmax]

135. I get ignored in GD every time I post in there too...

So, you're not alone.

[Hissyspit]

18. Morning!

[Clintmax]

23. Hail, Hissy!

:hi:
How's everything in YOUR world today?

[Random_Australian]

21. Morning!

[Clintmax]

25. Hail, Random!

:hi:
I hope you're having a great weekend so far, Mate! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

32. Aside from an ugly-fugly flamewar, yep. (Scroll down page 1, it

is HILARIOUS. The most locked threads I've ever seen in one night!)

[Clintmax]

39. That's what I was thinking also!

There's 9 of em, Dude! :wow:

[Random_Australian]

61. It was fun. Anyway, how are you?

[Clintmax]

66. I'm just fine, Man!

It's going to be sunny and hot (above 90 degrees) for the whole of the upcoming week, so I'm happy! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

73. Sounds like my midnights back home.

Whew is it cold here! I'm loving it! It must have got down to forty!

[Clintmax]

86. Yuck...I hate cold weather.

x(
The hotter the better, says I!

[Random_Australian]

91. If you like heat, you'll love this!

You reminded me of this 27 reply mega-ultra-super flamefest!
Count how many posts are left!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=214&topic_id=66274&mesg_id=66274

Funny stuff!

[Clintmax]

104. Hmmm...

Crazy, Man!

[Random_Australian]

106. See you tomorrow, I'm off to look for interesting posts to put into my

5000th post.

Good morningnightynight!

[Clintmax]

114. Have a good night, Random!

I'll see you on Monday morning! :bounce::hi:

[tjwmason]

128. Good morning R_A

Just had some fun with your country thread.

I'm not gloating or anything - but I'm significantly in the lead at the moment. :P

[Broken_Hero]

24. morning

Clintmax...:) :toast:

[Clintmax]

28. Hail, Peter!

:hi::toast:
And good morning to you too! Welcome to the early morning crew thread! :bounce:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

31. Hail, Starbucks!

:hi::bounce:
You doing OK this morning?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

45. Yep.

:hi:

[Clintmax]

59. I'm glad, Man!

:hi:
Do you have lots of fun stuff going on this weekend?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

87. Reviewing the script one more time.

Also try to catch up on some reading -- I'm in the middle of Richard Clarke's "Against All Enemies" right now.

[Clintmax]

98. I love to read too.

I take my book to work every day and read during my lunch break. I read every night before I go to sleep. LOVE IT! :bounce:

[Hissyspit]

29. If you go to the Greatest Page right now, clintmax, you'll see that

one of my posts has the top votes right now. All I did was post a Sidney Blumenthal article, but, still, pretty cool. Somebody can feel free to give it one more recommendation so that I'll know what it feels like to have a four-star post! (Hint..)

[Clintmax]

34. Wow!

Congratulations, Hissy! I'll have to go check that out! :bounce:

[Hissyspit]

37. It's a very good article.

[Clintmax]

41. I'm sure it is!

I'm on my way now...

[Clintmax]

47. Wow!

That's a GREAT article, Hissy! Recommended! It's a four star now! :woooho::bounce::hug:

[Hissyspit]

64. Thanks, I saw that! It will be there about one more hour now.

:P But for an hour I can say I had the top-rated post. (I think they fall off after twenty-four hours and I posted it right after I talked to you yesterday.)

[Clintmax]

72. They leave even if they keep getting recommends?

:shrug:
Congratulations anyway, Man!

[Hissyspit]

82. I think so. I may have to do with how many replies it gets, too.

But I think it's 24 hours.

[Clintmax]

97. Hmmm...well...you got the top rated thread

for 24 hours anyway! :bounce: That's something I can't say, Man.

[Hissyspit]

145. It's gone already! LOL For about 10 minutes, it had a four-star rating.

:P

Glory is fleeting...

[Clintmax]

157. Yes, it sure is!

Well, at least you had your fifteen minutes of fame, man! :bounce:

[hfojvt]

42. Do you always get up this early on a Saturday?

Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin looks at the clock and says 'omigod I overslept, I gotta get going' Hobbes yawns and says 'but today is Saturday' and as he is racing around Calvin says 'Of course, do you think I would care if it was a school day?"

I always have to work these two days, so I hate weekends. This seems to be hell week at work too since we are booked more than solid this weekend including not one, but two, farking all night graduation parties (hosted by the school or the PTA or student council or something, not like the kegger we had (which I did not attend. I am not even sure I knew where it was.))

[Clintmax]

48. Good Morning, Hfojvt!

:hi:
Yes, I sure do. I get up this early seven days a week! I work retail, so I have to work most all weekends too, although I usually get one of the two days off.

[hfojvt]

69. I guess we are even then

since I stay up this late almost every day too, although I do not have to. I just feel it is a good idea to maintain consistent hours to make the nights when you have to work midnight to eight for a farking overnighter, not quite so brutal.
Thus, I should be part of the morning crew, except that normally when I see this thread it means I have stayed up later than intended and usually I prepare for bed instead of replying.

[Clintmax]

77. Ah, I see...

I go to bed and get up at the same time every day too, whether I have to work or not. Supposedly doing that helps with insomnia. I've never had insomnia, but I have a morning crew now, so I like getting up early in the AM.

[tjwmason]

49. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

I'm sure that you look stunningly gorgeous in your glasses.

Odd things can happen with contact lenses - I think you'll just have to see what happens with the new trial ones. Eyes are funny things.

I'm listening to C.D. Review on Radio3 - currently it's part of La Clemenza di Tito be Mozart (or at least I think, not quite awake enough to hear properly).

:hug:

[Clintmax]

57. Hail, TJ!

Yes, eyes can be crazy things. I hope we get it all worked out soon. I've spent too much money on them the past month or so. x( I'm listening to SKY.FM on Shoutcast radio myself...country edition! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

111. I got a bit distracted there.

R_A posted a challenge - to name as many countries as possible. Thus I had to sit there for ages racking my little brain.

I got to 157 including 10 dependent territories - which I don't think is too bad really.

[Clintmax]

117. 157!

:wow: Good job, Man! I hope you won the challenge! :bounce: I couldn't come up with that many!

[tjwmason]

122. I just pictured each part of the world in turn.

Some of them were real geek ones - such as Western Sahara, and Transnistria (don't know how to spell it)...but I certainly used to be an international relations geek. :eyes:

[Clintmax]

138. Still...that's MUCH better than I could have done.

I'd see the contest, turn to you and say; "You win." :rofl:

[tjwmason]

150. I do have a slight advantage.

In that I've got a degree in International Relations - one can't really study it without knowing some countries.

I was tempted to throw in some defunct states just to see if anybody was paying attention - who says that the Sassanian Empire is no more afterall?

[Clintmax]

158. LOL! Who?

Sasswhatchamacallit? :rofl::rofl:

[Mutley]

68. Tj!!

:hug:

Morning, my friend!

[sbj405]

65. Morning, Clint!

I've got a million and one errands to run today as I leave for my trip tomorrow. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

71. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
I know JUST how you feel! It seems like there's always lots of errands to do before you leave on a long trip! But, it's also exciting! :bounce:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

74. Good morning!

Yes, it has been interesting in the lounge in the last few hours. I've never seen more active mods at 4am.

[Clintmax]

89. Good Morning, Haruka!

:hi:
It's good to see you today! I'm sorry I missed it all! I'm sure it was wild around here.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

94. I'm amazed my thread is still going.

Of course, it has fluffy kittens, which are always a lounge favorite.

[Clintmax]

101. Yes, they are!

Were you around for the Panda craziness?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

109. Nope, enlighten me. nt

[Clintmax]

Oh, my goodness!

Ok...I forget who started it, but she found a web camera inside a zoo that showed a newly born panda baby and its mother in real time! Everyone went APESHIT watching those two cuties and there were a brazillion posts about them in the lounge! :rofl: It finally died down, surprisingly.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

143. Was this last week/earlier this week?

I was suffering through a lack of internet. It was terrible. I'm scarred. I don't think I could ever do that again.

[Clintmax]

152. No, it's been a quite a while back actually.

I watched the webcam some too...they were cute, that's for sure! I hate losing my internet also. It RARELY happens with Comcast, but when it does, it REALLY goes down. Like for the whole country or something. :scared:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

173. We physically had the internet.

It's just that the iBook was off getting a bigger and better hard drive. My other iBook has a fucked-up display (kicking one off the bed while sleeping is bad for it). It allowed me onto DU for approximately ten minutes. During that time I made a random post that it (iBook, not DU) smelled like old people and it was freaking me out. Apparently, it did not look to be told that it smelled like old people because it went back to it's normal scrambled display.

[Clintmax]

177. Oh, ok...

I see. I didn't think Apples had problems like that. :shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

194. The hard drive was a choice to upgrade and I think kicking

a laptop off the bed and making it's display all wobbly would mess any kind up. It did work fine for about six months before it decided to scramble up. The computer itself is still sound. I'll use it sometimes to back stuff up.

[In_The_Wind]

88. Hi Y'all!

:wow: 9 locked threads ???

[Clintmax]

93. There's my Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
Good morning, Sweetie! :loveya: Craziness going on in the Lounge, that's for sure!

[In_The_Wind]

100. I had no idea!

Darn! I miss a whole lot when I sleep at night instead of playing in the Lounge. x(

[Clintmax]

103. I missed it too.

So you're not alone. :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

108. BTW ~ I think guys who wear glasses are HAWT!

just sayin' :evilgrin: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

133. *grin* Well, I hate wearing them...

but I have to be able to see the road signs and things so here I am with glasses until we can get the contacts thing figured out.

[In_The_Wind]

160. I gave up worrying about wearing glassed when I decided that I'd rather

see what I'm fixin' to eat. I like my meat rare but I don't want to see anything moving on my plate.
It has happened a few times since I've moved upstate. :scared:

[Clintmax]

168. LOL! I prefer contacts,

but only if I can see while I'm wearing them. Isn't that the point? I guess I really should just go get the Lasik surgery. This is costing me an arm and a leg!

180. I tried contacts when I was very young.

Silly me I wanted to change the color of my eyes. I felt like I aways had a grain of sand in my eyes. I'll stick with awesome glass frames. Besides the comfort level they keep the wind and sun out of my eyes.
I've wondered about Lasik surgery. Are you awake while they do it?

[Clintmax]

182. Yes, you are.

But there's no pain involved. The doc said I'm a prime candidate for it. It's expensive though.

[In_The_Wind]

190. I guess you're telling my that it isn't covered by insurance.

If that's the way it is ~that bites :scared: I don't think I would be able to stand doing the operation.
I'm a coward about some things. Like letting someone cut my pinky toenail.

131. Sleeping at night is highly overrated.

I slept 7am-7pm yesterday. Well I was up for a couple hours around noon, but I still had a headache and was possibly drunk, so I went back to sleep. The drama from Thursday night made the locked lounge threads seem calm.

[In_The_Wind]

147. Do you still have folks doing ritual dances under your window?

Come here you musta been ascared!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

170. They only stayed a few minutes.

It was weird. They otherwise looked normal. There's just not much around me except for woods. We have one neighbor. It definitely wasn't them.

[In_The_Wind]

183. It would have had me a bit concerned.

Did you happen to notice the moon phase that night?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

191. It was tonight.

We keep the house locked and I'm pretty handy with the sword.

[In_The_Wind]

197. tonight ?

oopsie, I thought that the ritual dancing was a few days ago. I've been way too busy to think about what day it is. :shrug: If Clintmax didn't start these threads I might wonder why the bank is closed on Sunday.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

198. Well last night. I'm still awake, so it's like the same day.

I often have a warped sense of time. I use Commerce. They're open on Sundays.

[In_The_Wind]

203. I think that I should go push the button for coffee and have a smoke.

I have been going non stop since I placed an order for my new laptop & camera. I wanted to get everything together before I fly down to Florida this Thursday.
My brain is a bit fried. It's not everyday that you visit with an old lover from 29 years ago.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

204. That's a great smiley.

110. Hail, Billy!

Are you having a good weekend so far?

[billyskank]

:hi:

[Clintmax]

121. That's good to hear!

:hi:
Do you have any big plans for the rest of the day and tomorrow?

[billyskank]

127. Well

Tomorrow I think I might go to London and see my friends there. In which case, I will have to do all my chores today. Which means tidying and vacuuming up the flat and ironing my shirts.

[Clintmax]

144. Going to see friends is always fun!

Cleaning the apartment/flat is a never ending process, Man. You just get done and it's time to clean some more. x(

[billyskank]

146. That is very true

:)

[Mutley]

113. Mornin' Stranger.

[billyskank]

129. Chores, mainly

Tidy the place up. Vaccuum it. Iron my shirts.

What are your plans?

[Mutley]

132. I've got to clean up, too.

And prepare for Monday's onslaught. :yoiks:

[billyskank]

136. What happens monday?

[Mutley]

140. A large paper and a big exam.

:cry:

[billyskank]

149. Aw man

But you'll do great. I know you will. :hug:

[Mutley]

153. Probably.

Thanks. :hug:

[entanglement]

[Clintmax]

142. Hail, Entanglement!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you this morning, Man! HOw's every little thing?

[entanglement]

162. I'm alive

I'm very drunk, of course, this being a Friday night and all that.

You're an O8) , just in case you didn't know :)

[Clintmax]

166. Awww...no, I didn't know that...

but thank you for saying so. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

156. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

I can't stay long today ... harleydad is sick and I have to do the stuff he was going to do today. Aaaaarrrggghh! Yesterday wasn't so good. Harleydad started getting sick and we couldn't find a doctor who would see him. I'm really concerned about him.:cry:

The cats knocked over something in the closet and it hit the mirrored doors. There goes $100 to get a new set. :cry: Then we called the cable company to get our new cable hooked up and the lady who answered the phone, B, wouldn't let us talk to the one who has been helping us all along, A, ... so B ends up getting the commission and she's charging more for the hook-up than A was going to charge. x( I'm trying to get that all fixed and left a message for A's supervisor to call me.

I hope you can get it all straightened out with your contacts and Roxio.:hug:

Good choice for song of the day!

[billyskank]

161. AirmensMom

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. :(

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

164. Hey billy.

:loveya: :hug: Thanks. It's good to see you. :hug:

[Clintmax]

163. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
Wow! What a MESS! I'm sorry you've got so much bad stuff happening all of a sudden, my dear! I hope Mister Harley gets better quickly. Bandit keeps using the floor instead of the litter box and I don't know what's going on with him. x( We cleaned out that box yesterday (washed, washed and washed it) new litter, and he STILL shat on the floor in front of it during the night. If he keeps it up, we're going to have to get rid of him or something. I can't stand that any longer. x(

[AirmensMom]

169. Oh, my!

Have you tried the Cat Attract litter? (I think that's what it's called ... by Dr. Elsey's, at Petsmart. They make a great regular litter, too.) Could he have a tummy ache? Sabrina was doing that and it ended up that she had a tummy ache from the food she was on. Sometimes if they have a bad time in the litter box b/c they don't feel good, it makes them not want to use it anymore. We changed her food, of course, but we also had to switch the litter we'd been using for 8 years. Now she's fine. I sure hope you get it figured out.

Harleydad almost never gets sick ... but when he does, he gets it bad. :scared:

[Clintmax]

174. Never heard of the Cat Attract litter.

I'll have to go check it out. I took him to the vet last week and they didn't find any problems with him, so I don't think its a physical problem. I don't know WHY he's decided to stop using the box, but I hate it!

I rarely get sick either...but, like him, when I do...I'm SICK. x( Tell him I said I hope he gets better soon! :hug::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

185. Well, cats don't just decide to do that for no reason.

Something about the box traumatized him. I'd bet it was a tummy ache, even if he doesn't have one now. I hope the Cat Attract litter works. I've heard great things about it. We never tried it b/c we got the desired results with the regular Dr. Elsey's. Good luck ... and let me know how it turns out. :hug:

I'll tell him. I have to go now, though. I hope you have a great weekend. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

193. I hope yours gets better too, Miss Airmens!

I'll see you Monday morning! :hi::hug::loveya:

[riona]

186. Fl check-in

Doesn't that software thing drive your nuts? I had the same trouble when I tried to upgrade my Norton program (on my old Gateway with WindowsME). Norton's old software, which came with the PC, refused to uninstall, so the new wouldn't install. We went around and around. (they didn't seem to be a particularly helpful bunch). I ended up getting most of my money back.

[Clintmax]

192. Hail, Flblu!

:hi:
Yes, it IS maddening, Man. If we don't get it taken care of today...I'm demanding a refund! I'm off now, Man...time to get ready for work. See you on Monday AM! :hi:

[Clintmax]

195. Time to go get ready for work, my crew!

No rest for the wicked, as the saying goes...take care of each other and I'll see everyone here on Monday morning! :bounce::grouphug::hi: Have a fantastic weekend, my crew! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

199. Have a great week-end Clint.

See you soon.

:hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

202. Clintmax!!!!

Lovely to see you, and I love your choice of song. Whew, am I tired! I need to hit it soon, but wanted to say howdy. Been doing lots of deleting of things on my computer and defraging too. Toooooo muuuuuuch stuuuuuuff on it!

Listening to "The Seeger Sessions" by Bruce Springsteen right now. Have you heard it? It's a fabulous CD!

[newyawker99]

206. Good morning everyone!

:donut:

:hi:

[Cannikin]

207. Sorry I'm late! Good morning!
