[ReadTomPaine]

3. Hey Ms Honeychurch.. here's a new speck for the cat to guard!

;)

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I get the feeling

that might be asked to much of her :P One spot after another

[Jara sang]

5. I'm up!!!

It's a brand new day! Good Morning!:bounce:

[alphafemale]

6. oooohhhh. nice nt

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Good morning

what a beautiful sun rising. The sun is high on the sky here already and heating up quite a bit :)

[Barad Simith]

7. listening to Shostakovich's string quartets

on #5 now

[MissHoneychurch]

10. is it calming?

I have in mind that Shostakovich's music isn't always very harmonic on purpose. Or am I messing that up?

[Barad Simith]

14. not usually

There are a few calming parts, but most of it is like sitting in your mom's car on a rainy March afternoon while your brother is in the dentist office, looking out the passenger window, watching trucks splash by, telling your little sister it's going to be okay.

Like that.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. so my memory was right

:)

[tjwmason]

13. Grrrs.

Lucky git.

I'd love to have Shostakovich playing here. :grr:

[Barad Simith]

20. You can get the Fitzwilliam or the Rubio sets new, pretty cheap, on eBay

I'm still on the Fitzwilliam. Haven't even opened the Rubio yet.

[tjwmason]

23. It's not the lack of the music

It's sitting at work in a shared office.

[cleofus1]

8. i'm here...

but i'm at work...so i'm trying to actually do stuff too...
you can tell i'm here becouse the photo thread is active again!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. yes I saw it

you have a lot of pictures to share.

I am at work also and trying to calm down right now because I got pissed due to a house-intern customer :mad:

[cleofus1]

17. dish sweety!

what happened?

[MissHoneychurch]

22. She was ordering a book

and my co-worker went to the stack and found that she still has it. And now instead of saying "Oh I need to look again in my office" she is more or less telling us we made a mistake and that we lost it or whatever. It wasn't the only book she got on that day and she still has all of them. We have a paper in the stack where the book normally stands (her order with her signature) and we have the book still on the list of her checked-out books. Then she says, oh maybe she gave it to the restauration (:wtf: that is our job) or maybe .... We told our boss about and she talked to the lady. Who is now offended :rant:

Sorry ... but you asked :)

[cleofus1]

25. ssssss ok

i kinda enjoy those little slice o life type stories...

[MissHoneychurch]

27. I take a lot before I rant

but today it was enough for me.

[Robeson]

12. I'm here MissHoneychurch, but it does seem like few are.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Nice to see you

:hi:

[Robeson]

18. Always nice to see you too!....

...Thanks!...:hi:

[tjwmason]

15. I'm here and wide awake

My weather inspired good mood is still very strong and happy.

Plus my grandfather's operation yesterday went well.

I'm working at the moments ( :( ) and looking out of the window, wanting to be laying in the sun.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. you are not the only one who wants to skip work

and go out enjoying the sun. Too bad there aren't any open air libraries during the summer :)

Glad to hear your granddas op went well. :hug:

[bridgit]

21. well, i did wake up for a litle...

not "wide awake" as tj, but sorta blinky, does that count :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. it does count

and tj is an hour behind me and has to wait one more hour till lunchbreak which I have now :bounce:

[xmas74]

28. I'm logged back in for the moment.

I am dreading what the day will bring-the Fundie Festival (aka my family reunion). I have about 12 of them arriving this evening and over 100 more arriving over the next few days.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. sounds like a lot of fun

:eyes:

I hope you will survive. Let us now how you do. We want you to stay sane :hug:

[xmas74]

34. probably won't be on very much.

A few will be staying w/ us. I will probably have no chance to use my computer at home.
I'm afraid of what they will visit on my pc when I am at work!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. uh oh

you could put a password on your computer (grammar?). So that you have to have a password when turning the PC on. That keeps them from your computer.

[xmas74]

39. just easier to let them on.

I don't want to hear the whining and I don't want to have to add all the Christian channels back on my remote.
Let them play instead. I can clean it later.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. ok. was just a thought

but you are right. The whining is way more annoying. Just make sure your computer can take all the crabby sites ;)

[xmas74]

46. I am changing my screensaver every single day.

Today I have lined up a pic of two men kissing rather passionately. I have pics of women doing the same saved back, some bondage pics, etc.
I will really enjoy the looks on their faces when they see that.

Goodbye, Northern Lights (my current screensaver)!

[MissHoneychurch]

49. LOL

please take a pic of their faces when they see it ... that must be worth a shot :rofl:
My screensaver at work are pictures of Scotland and at home pictures of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.

[xmas74]

59. I'm an astronomy nut so I tend to pick up pics from Space.com

I'll try to catch their faces-no promises.
I think that at least one of them will feign disgust but will actually be turned on by one of the pics I will be putting up (I'll pm it you later-nothing nasty just "nice" in a sexy way).

[MissHoneychurch]

61. please do

maybe you should put pictures on from that one singer you fancy (sorry forgot his name) but you know who I mean. He had some very ... uhm ... interesting pictures on his homepage :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

67. That one is going up on Sunday morning.

They like to check their mail before they attend service (and no, they won't go to church w/ me-my church is too "liberal" and isn't the "real thing").
I'm going for the pic where he is tied up or maybe the one w/ the ball gag-haven't decided yet.

[MissHoneychurch]

69. see it that way

when they go to their church and you to yours you have some free time from them and can relax a bit and see some sane people

[xmas74]

71. After service is a family picnic.

Definitely not looking forward to that!

[MissHoneychurch]

74. nobody there at all that is at least a bit sane

and not such a freeper?

[xmas74]

76. I'm not sure.

Most of them are RR. I might have one or two. I have a cousin w/ a purple mohawk-he might be ok but I heard that he has a problem w/ gay marriage so I don't know yet.

[MissHoneychurch]

77. how long do you have to endure it

my thoughts will be with you

[xmas74]

100. two weeks

[In_The_Wind]

37. we'll miss you

stay sane! and take pictures :hug:

[xmas74]

41. You really don't want to see the fundie pics.

The women all have long hair and don't believe in make-up or anything that they view as revealing (including shorts).
And I will be the one barfing in each pic because I can't figure out who's long ass hair I have found in my potato salad.

[MissHoneychurch]

48. how yummy ....

I feel for you. That reminds me of the one and only time I went with my ex-bf to visit his family in Monroe, LA. We stayed at his sisters house first. Or should I say the cockroaches allowed his sister and her kids to stay there. They were everywhere. Bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen (even INSIDE the f* fridge) :shudder: My legs looked horrible because those nasty things bit me during the night. We then decided to move to a motel. I rather payed that then staying at that house a minute longer.

[xmas74]

51. Yuck!

Roaches are easy to pick up and hard to get rid of. But when they have gotten to that level you can assume that no one (her and her neighbours) have tried anything.

[MissHoneychurch]

52. you could pick out her house in the street very easily

all the houses around hers very neat and clean. Hers .... you saw she gave a shit about it. My ex-bf told me that when she was younger she was a very clean lady. But when her husband left her she went down. You could see it.

[xmas74]

60. That's really sad.

But it happens all the time. Sounds like she needed some therapy.

[MissHoneychurch]

63. she and her kids too

actually her son was already in therapy (in a closed psychiatry). Her daugher (back then she was 20) was pregnant with her second kid and was during the 3 weeks we were there in and out of the hospital because she didn't drink enough and started bleeding. Meanwhile she kept smoking pot and didn't give a damn about what the docs told her. And she couldn't handle her daughter who was (and by probably is even more) a spoiled brat.

[xmas74]

68. that's too bad.

[MissHoneychurch]

73. it was

the whole family was wacko. Believe me there are more stories were those came from. Some of them incluse my ex-bf. He wasn't an exception in this family.

[xmas74]

75. At least he's gone now!

And it is time for me to log out before my relief gets here and tattles that I have been visiting DU tonight!
Catch you later!

[MissHoneychurch]

78. ok

enjoyed the talk with you (and we didn't had to hijack another thread) :)

[xmas74]

99. catch you later!

[In_The_Wind]

56. sounds like purgatory

long hair and no make-up can be lovely on some ... it's the attitude that sucks :puke: along with hair in the food :mad:

[xmas74]

70. It will suck all the way around.

At least the fundie preacher will not be attending this time. He doesn't want to have to deal w/ "heathens" (like myself).
I plan to attend his church just once next year and prove that I can pass through the doorway of a church and not be struck down immediately (that ought to really piss him off!)

[In_The_Wind]

84. I was worried about that myself

not that I would be struck down but that the building wouldn't make it.

[In_The_Wind]

30. watching the hummingbirds

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. what a womderful way to start the day

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

32. it's a beautiful day to be alive

:hug:>

[MissHoneychurch]

33. it is

even so I feel like putting my hands around someones throat (see my rant some post above as answer to cleofus)

[In_The_Wind]

36. your rant was well justified

:grr: her oversight is preventing others from using the books she is still so jealously hording :nuke:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. oh she needs it herself

and she still hasn't found it. And I guess is still blaming us. At least she left her filled out order in our office now. :wtf: I am sure that way she knows exactly what to look for :sarcasm:
Sorry. I am still pissed.

[In_The_Wind]

42. this should be soothing

[cleofus1]

43. reminds me of something

just on the tip of my tongue

[MissHoneychurch]

44. spell it out

before you choke on it :) .. and I am nosy what it reminds you of :P

[In_The_Wind]

47. stop that

:spank: :spank: :spank: I just take exceptional snapshots ... you bad boy :evilgrin:

[cleofus1]

50. just a painting

i saw once in a new mexico art gallery...
:P

[MissHoneychurch]

54. by who

I know Diego Rivera painted some very nice flower pictures.

[cleofus1]

57. georgia o'keefe

very erotic...

[In_The_Wind]

62. that's quite a complement

Georgia O'Keefe is one of my favorite artist.

[cleofus1]

64. good taste

O8)

[MissHoneychurch]

65. really beautiful

wouldn't mind having that hanging in my apt :)

[In_The_Wind]

86. we can work that out

you may hang a copy if you wish ... pull a print out of my photobucket ... there's lots to choose from>

[MissHoneychurch]

88. I might just do that

except I don't have a printer at home :)
And there is way too much to chose from. Will make the decision hard.

[In_The_Wind]

93. it will be more difficult as time goes on

because the album will be growing ... when you do have access to a printer you might want to pull a few different copies so you can rotate them for variety.

[In_The_Wind]

72. then you should like this one too

[MissHoneychurch]

45. awwwwwwwwwwww thank you

.. it is ....

[In_The_Wind]

53. sheesh ... censoring my snapshots

[MissHoneychurch]

55. me wonders

why didn't you take part in the photo contest this month?

[In_The_Wind]

58. because I didn't

have a scanner until recently ... my last one went down over the winter and I just replaced it

[MissHoneychurch]

66. the contest closed Monday

you could have put an entry in. So that is no excuse :)

[In_The_Wind]

82. I've been a bit preoccupied

I did spend the weekend scanning things like this>>><<<I haven't had the time to sort through my old pictures ... I packed them all away several years ago. I've been taking new pictures but I just need to take my camera and ride alone for awhile. Then you'll have additional tidbits to critique but I've never been one to enter competitions so I'm not making any promises about that.

[MissHoneychurch]

85. nice picture

and you can't really call the conests here competition.
At least post them in the Photography group

[In_The_Wind]

91. when I have something new to show I'll post them in the Photo Group

there are several old sets of related photos that could put together as a thread ... but you know me ~ that might not happen until winter returns

[MissHoneychurch]

92. I am sure the Photography group will be here still

and you have enough time to take a lot of wonderful pictures over the summer :D

[In_The_Wind]

101. I just dropped a roll of film off yesterday

flowers and my garden gate

[Brewman_Jax]

79. G'day, MissHoneychurch!

:hi: I'm here! At my desk that isn't freezing under the A/C vent. :woohoo:

You're going home soon, aren't you?

[MissHoneychurch]

80. I have 2 more hours

not quite sure if I would call that "soon" :)

So the A/C is working properly again? Good to hear. I could use one also here since we have wonderful summer weather here now :bounce:

[Brewman_Jax]

83. Sooner than me

my day is just starting. Summer is here, temps are above 30C. :beer:

[MissHoneychurch]

87. same here

temps over 30°C. Love it. I am considering going to my aunt at the Lake Constance over the weekend. Then I can swim in the lake and sunbath on her terasse. I just need to call her and ask her if she is home.

[Brewman_Jax]

95. That warm?

I didn't know that temperatures could get that high in Germany. Is that the norm? (I learned something new. :think: )

Going to the lake sounds like a great idea!

BTW, how do you type in the degree symbol? :dunce:

[MissHoneychurch]

96. yep, during the summer it can get that warm

2003 we had the century summer when the temps got even higher and stayed that high over weeks. Which isn't normal. You never can predict summer in Germany. One year it is hot and warm, another it is cool and rainy.

There is a key left of the "1" where the ^ and ° are on (on a German keyboard - it differs from the American one)

I should call my aunt tonight and try to catch her. When I go to the lake I can go and seed how my dad's grave looks like also.

[Brewman_Jax]

97. Sounds like a good weekend

and those symbols aren't on my keyboard.

I remember the news stories about the heat wave in Europe, which is a rare occurance. Is the lake far from you?

[MissHoneychurch]

98. if the traffic is ok

about 3 1/2 hours. I am thinking about taking the train though. Too hot to drive. Even though I have A/C in my car.

Look for those symbols at the charmap. Unicode signs. Should be there with the Times New Roman letters.

[Lannes]

81. I like to listen to this U2 song sometimes when I get up....

"Bad"

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

[MissHoneychurch]

89. interesting song

I am not much of a U2 fan I have to admit. But I like the lyrics you just posted.

[Lannes]

94. Havent listenend to them much over the last 8 years or so

But from the time they first broke out until then I was a big fan.

[MissHoneychurch]

90. dupe

why oh why? :eyes:
