My morning coffee date has been cancelled so I'm going to... guess what?...

[crim son]

mess around on DU for a while. I'm having coffee by myself in my red bathrobe and wondering how everybody is this morning. Happy? Healthy? Optimistic? :hi:

[mikeytherat]

1. Not in my bathrobe (still in workout attire + sweats), but drinking coffee

and perusing DU. Looks like it's gonna be a fine day.

mikey_the_rat

[crim son]

2. It does, doesn't it.

Oh, you've reminded me that today is the day I am going to start my pilates. Thanks. :sarcasm: hehe.

Have a good one, mikey_the_rat!

[graywarrior]

3. Headed out the door.

Not thrilled about it, but resigned to my fate.

[crim son]

4. I wish I were working right now.

Put on a happy face, graywarrior! hehe. :P

[graywarrior]

5. Ok. Actually, I do love my job.

see ya later!

[plcdude]

6. well good morning

easy access is always nice.

[crim son]

15. Good morning, plcdude.

Second cup of coffee right now. I hope you're well.

[azmouse]

7. I'm doin' great!

We have beautiful weather here in Phoenix today - a high of 80 is expected. I'll have lunch on the patio sitting next to the pool, then I'll do some painting. What a great day! :)

[crim son]

16. A high of eighty!?

I envy you, I really do. The patio, the pool, the ability to paint... it does sound wonderful. :hi:

[Sanity Claws]

8. Crim son in red -- how appropriate.

How do you like your coffee? I'm drinking Irish Breakfast tea with a little milk.

[crim son]

17. I like my coffee with coffee-mate or with plain milk.

Lately I've been drinking tea on alternate mornings, just to get away from the coffee and I love the Earl Grey variety.

P.S. red is my favorite color

[leftofthedial]

9. mmm

coffee

:donut:

[crim son]

18. I never remember the coffee & donuts smiley.

Maybe that's because I have no donuts :(

Good morning white male.

[leftofthedial]

38. that's "straight white male"

now that I've had some coffee, I can safelty grasp the reins of power once again!

[crim son]

51. ...

:spray: Good to know!

[taterguy]

10. PM revealing photos of yourself to all your fans?

That's my guess. Or is it my hope?

[plcdude]

11. I'll

second that!

[crim son]

19. Ummm, I've never done that

and if I were you I'd hope for something more exciting, like pictures of NewWaveChick. :7

[taterguy]

25. There's more than one DUer that I would enjoy seeing revealing pics of

Funny how men are like that :)

New Wave Chick won't send me revealing pics of her because I spilled beer on her back in 1982 at an Oingo Boingo show

[crim son]

27. Is that true?

"I Want To Make Violent Love" :)

[taterguy]

34. I won't reveal what revealing things I've been PMed

Private messages are private
NWC and I were at the same Oingo Boingo show in the early 80s but I don't think I spilled beer on her

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Tired and working.

:hi:

[crim son]

20. Were you up too late?

Hi gorgeous man. :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Hey, beautiful lady!

Yeah, I was up a bit late -- I was watching a few episodes of The Wire on DVD. I just started getting into the show, and now I'm hooked.

[crim son]

26. I haven't seen it (of course).

I'll google to see what it is. I need to find a series to watch... I did it with Buffy and loved the fact that I could watch whenever I wanted. Trying to get to bed earlier these days. Maybe you should too! :loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. It's really good.

It's executed much like a novel and has literally dozens of characters involved, along with some humorous moments and perfect pacing -- it's basically one story over an entire season.

And I've always been a night owl. :D

[crim son]

32. I'll see if I can find a season of it to try it out.

How can you function at work if you stay up that late? When I am employed I have to be in bed by eleven at the latest or I will yawn and feel miserable the next day. The only way I can stay up late these days is because usually there is time for a nap the following afternoon.

That no sleep business, it's gonna kill you :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. You're assuming I function at work.

:rofl:

Hell, half the day is DU and smoke breaks.

[crim son]

35. The perfect job.

I'm looking for one just like it. But right now I must turn to my *X&!@#$!! medical terminology course which is the last thing on earth I want to do. I'll see you later, maybe. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. Take care!

:hi:

[Hugin]

13. Eeeh, so-so...

*waves hand side to side*

But, Everyday in everyway, I'm getting better and better!

*eye twitches*

[crim son]

22. Laughing.

I'll pretend I didn't notice that twitch. I've no doubt you are improving each and every day!! hehe.

[catmandu57]

14. I've been up since 5:30 this morning

Momma cat insists on it every morning I mean EVERY damn morning get the hell up feed me give me love, so the coffee is long gone, I've hauled seventy pounds of used cat litter and household garbage plus the recycling to the street. I've got Ian Anderson on BBC Scotland going, watched Looney Tunes, now I'm taking it easy messing around here for a while.

[crim son]

24. Five thirty isn't real time to me. I won't acknowledge it, ever.

The cat thing I empathize with. Somehow Benny got locked in a guest bedroom closet yesterday. He must have fallen asleep because he was very quiet in there until about three a.m. Then he wanted OUT!

[BarenakedLady]

21. Guten Morgen

I'm doing okie dokie smokey. Busy day today...at least I'll get out of the house for awhile. And the kids are back to school today! Yippeeeee :woohoo: It is actually a balmy 24 degrees today. Maybe I'll lie out and get a tan. LoL.

:hi: :hug:

Any news on the house?

[crim son]

28. God Morgon (this is all the swedish I learned while staying in Stockholm)!

We have fourteen degrees here and flurries are expected. WhatEVER. I'm going to study today so the bad weather is a blessing. The only word I've heard on the house is that the realtor is still waiting to hear from them... I received this information yesterday. I have not completely given up hope but I'm starting to. I tell myself that it's not the best possible time to sell because I'm still in school and there is only one house on the market that I'm even vaguely interested in.

My kids are in school too! Tomorrow the STBE will pull them out (only the boys - Kira refuses to go) and take them skiing. If only I had a working car I'd drive down and take you to lunch! Anyhow, enjoy your busy day. Hey, I did some pilates this morning. I'm starting slowly but I'm starting. :hug: :loveya: :hug: :woohoo:

[BarenakedLady]

29. Good for you!

I slept in. LoL. I'm a lazy ass.

Friday I'm driving to RI for that "toy" party. Not looking forward to the drive but looking forward to seeing my friends and my parents. I wish I was staying longer so I could drive up and take YOU to lunch. Maybe next time!

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

[crim son]

31. Maybe...

We're going to miss one another. I'm heading to Boston on the 20th and staying until the 25th. One of my other sisters is flying in from Oregon and we're all meeting and at yet another sister's house. Oh, while you're in RI, look up Marathon Company (jewelry). That's my BIL's company (actually it's his father's but he runs it).

Okay, now I have to do my... sob!...:cry:... ... schoolwork...

[Guava Jelly]

37. A red bath robe hugh

This thread needs pictures.(or at least my pm box does) :evilgrin:
Good afternoon crimmy :)

[crim son]

41. Good afternoon GoPsUx.

I'm taking a two minute break from studying. Nobody shall ever see pictures of me in the red robe!

[Guava Jelly]

44. how about without it

:7 :loveya:
(can you blame a pervert for trying)
:rofl:

[The Traveler]

39. Hiya crim son

Working from home today.

Coffee ... check.
Bathrobe ... oops. **grabs bathrobe**
Healthy ... as healthy as a coffee swilling, beer quaffing 50 year old male can be.
Happy ... I would rather be in Philadelphia. Writing grungy code to kludge in a nasty modification this system. Yech
Optimistic ... hoping I can find a job as a stand up philosopher some where ... if that isn't optimistic I don't know what is.

Top of the mornin' to ya ... or afternoon as it now seems to be ...

:hangover: :hi:

[crim son]

42. That IS optimistic.

:rofl: And I too would rather be in Philadelphia :hi: Hi, The Traveler.

[gemdem]

40. Well, it's afternoon now

So my question is have you shed the robe? :-)

I'm working from home. Have been since before 6:00 this morning. Kids are home again from school, day three because of cold and snow. So, rather than go into the office, I'm working from home to referee, and keep an eye on the younger two who are running fevers (100 and 102). Their mother just left for work -- second shift at the local homeless shelter.

So, I'm happy to be home with the kids. Other than that, I'm "meh." Which these days for me is pretty good.

Hope the day's a good one for you. :-)

[crim son]

43. "Meh" is what life is all about, isn't it?

It's the gray that contrasts so starkly with the blacks and whites we sometimes encounter. :hug: Good for you, staying with the kids. I'm happy to report that the kids are all at school because it's sixteen degrees here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear crim son!

Well, sweetie, it's still morning here.......just barely! 11:30am...

And I'm having a lovely day........

My cleaning lady is just finishing up, and the house has greatly benefitted!

My husband and I will be going out to lunch in a bit....

And then I'll really have some serious work: ALL the laundry, and ALL the grocery shopping needs to be done!

But it's a lovely day, and I feel happy! All is good in my world at the moment.......

And I fervently wish the same for you, my dear Lisa....:loveya: :hug:

[crim son]

46. You sound very happy and peaceful, Peggy,

grocery shopping and laundry notwithstanding. My kids are just about to come running in the door so I made a batch of cookies. Now, back to studying. :loveya: :pals:

[Haole Girl]

47. Hi there!

My morning break is over....darn....
just stopped by to say hello! Hello! :hi:

[crim son]

49. Hi KC2!

I'm clearly not getting any studying done so why am I bothering? I hope your day is going very well. I loved your H.S. picture :)

[idgiehkt]

48. are you still in the red bathrobe?

LOL. Hope your day is going well. Getting ready to write you a proper pm. :hi:

[crim son]

50. I am wearing the red robe, but now there are clothes underneath.

This house is cold. :scared: But I'm getting all kinds of things done (not studying) and feel great. Looking forward to your PM. :loveya:
