[KitchenWitch]

1. Hello Heidi

Up to no good, as usual!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

4. "Good job, Ensign Crusher."

You're doin' the dark side proud. :thumbsup:

[alarcojon]

10. Still watching that endless ball game?

I'm just checking the score from time to time. Cubs fan and all.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Yes, I am addicted to baseball

I go through serious withdrawal when it is done.

[alarcojon]

17. You're like me with pro basketball

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear alarcojon!

How good to see you tonight.....I always love to see you posting pics in the various pic threads.....

I love your face!

:loveya: :pals:

[alarcojon]

56. Graci, Cal Peg

Here's looking at you, kid!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. Omigod! How did you know that THIS ONE is my fav?

It is.......thank you.......

I am speechless......

You are HOT, baby, HOT!

:blush: :evilgrin:

[alarcojon]

67. Just a guess, Cal Peg

glad you like it...:blush:

[Floogeldy]

2. Jello, Jewel.

:hide:

[Heidi]

6. Jello, Floog.

You can run, but you cannot hide. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear Floog!

How are you doing tonight? I'm still happy over that thread you did for me last night...

Luckily, my melancholy has gone away......And you helped it to vanish, my dear!



:loveya: :hug:

[Floogeldy]

49. CPeg!

Stay happy forever, doll. Please?

:loveya: :loveya: :hug: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. You are such a sweetheart, my dear Floog!

But remember, my dear, that forever is a VERY long time......

I don't ever want to be unhappy....no-one does......

But neither can you be happy all the time, though I do come close to it......

But now and then, well....somedays I'm unhappy with my life, and so I must get through those days the best I can....

With a little help from my friends......

I love ya!

:loveya: :hug:

[Az]

3. Hey there

:woohoo:

[Heidi]

8. Hey, Az!

:hug:

How ya doin'?

[Az]

9. I am alas in full mischief mode

Eris is strong tonight.

FNord!

[alarcojon]

25. Got anything to set the math people a'trippin?

[Az]

31. Not off the top of my head

But I am in full giggle mode right now. Hard to think straight.

[alarcojon]

36. Cool. Some problems need to be left to the pros.

heh heh.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear Az......

Lovely to see you tonight!

How are you?


I am surely one original poster, huh?

:rofl:

[Az]

48. Got a case of the giggles

Every thing I see I see subrefs to tonight. Its rather addictive.

[enigmatic]

5. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

Going go live for a couple hours before I crash; long day....

How's Mr. Heidi and thr kittys?

[Heidi]

11. Hi, my enigmatic friend!

All's well here. I have a long day tomorrow and may not make it to the Nighthawks thread.

Mr. Heidi is sawin' logs; Mr. Ginger is out in the garden, disturbing the delicate balance of nature by birding and peeing around. :eyes:

[enigmatic]

27. hahaha

Ginger and our kitty ought to get together and compare their seamless distubing of our delicate balance of our nature!:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear enigmatic.....

How are you holding up? Sounds like you're working some serious overtime, or something....

Hang in there, baby......


:loveya: :hug:

[enigmatic]

75. Hey Peggy!

:hug:

I'm ok; the caffiene IV I stick in my arm each morning keeps me going;)

How are you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

90. I'm fine, thanks!

Intravenous caffeine, huh? Sounds like a serious addiction!


:rofl:

[enigmatic]

93. you gotta do.....

you know the rest;)

[alarcojon]

7. Hi all

late night tonight. What's up?

[Heidi]

16. Hi, alarcojon.

Gettin' ready to head to the paints. How ya doin? :hi:

[alarcojon]

20. Continuing your recent series?

I'm just up late grading/hanging out with the Mrs./DUing. Still getting over a dry cough and some sniffles.

[Heidi]

30. I have a couple of commissions to do

before I can continue the series. :cry:

Grading? Now _that's_ big fun. Do you use a red marker? ;)

[alarcojon]

37. No, green

they told me red is too harsh!

[Heidi]

40. I agree with "they."

When I used to edit by hand (before "the computer age"), I always used a green or purple pen. :thumbsup: My reasoning was that I didn't want a reporter to ever feel like I felt when my math papers were handed back to me, looking like they'd been dipped in blood. :cry:

[enigmatic]

33. Hey bro!

What up? I need some more music requests from you; you haven't steered me wrong yet:)

[alarcojon]

39. I assume you've played Aganju by Bebel Gilberto?

I don't recall if I've mentioned Meninho off YoYo Ma's Obrigado. There is a live and a studio version.

[enigmatic]

47. I'm on it

Thanks for this:)

[alarcojon]

50. Aganju rocks - there are also at least two remixes out there

I think Mr. Scorpio is the expert on Bebel

[SeattleGirl]

12. Heidi dahling!

I can't seem to find the band right now, but I'll keep looking. And how are you this fine day?

:loveya:

[Heidi]

19. The band's probably out gettin'

idiotic, stupid, meaningless, cheap and worthless tattoos. (You know how _musicians_ are. :evilgrin:)

[SeattleGirl]

23. Most likely, and also having a touch of John Barleycorn

What with the anticipation of Merry Fitzmas!!!

[SIU_Blue]

14. Hey all!!!

Shouldn't be up this late, but this game is soooooo good.

:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

21. Hi, SIU_Blue!

"Whut game?"

[SIU_Blue]

28. lol!!!

:hi:

:popcorn:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. My dear SIU!

Good to see you up late!

The Nighthawk thread is a wonderful Lounge tradition......

It helps keep a lot of us anchored and friendly also.....





:loveya: :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Heidi!

Wow, the Lounge looked kind of deserted till you and KW showed up just now.....

I just got home from my Dem Club meeting (a good one, BTW) and was looking around here for familiar faces.....

And then you two showed up...thank goodness!

I'm GOOD today.......! Hope you are, as well, my dear gf.....


:yourock: :loveya: :hug:

[Heidi]

22. w00t!

It's nice to see you in good spirits, my friend. :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

29. Hello, Dear Peggy!

You DO seem to be in good spirits tonight! So am I: Black Velvet!

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. Hey, SeattleGirl!

Thanks!

Are you drinking, or watching the movie? Whichever, have fun with it!


:spray:

[SeattleGirl]

57. Drinking it!

:beer:

[Fox Mulder]

18. Good evening.

:) :hi:

[Heidi]

24. Fox Mulder!

Hi, there! How's your week been? :pals:

[Fox Mulder]

41. It's been okay...considering...

I went to a memorial service the college had for a kid tonight who died in a tragic accident this past weekend. He died when a bunch of students here stormed the football field here after a double-overtime win in our homecoming game and pulled down a goal post. The post struck him in the head and killed him. :(

I didn't know him personally but I had friends who knew him. It was really heart breaking. :(

[Heidi]

58. Wow, I remember your post about that on Sunday.

That _is_ sad. Are you OK?

[Fox Mulder]

68. Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just worried about some of my friends, though.

[alarcojon]

61. That is very sad

It's always sad hearing about college students dying, especially in circumstances like those. We just had a student die in a car crash at my school.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Howdy Fox!

:hi:

[Fox Mulder]

43. Hey SeattleGirl!

:hi:

[southlandshari]

26. Thank heavens you are here!

Have you seen what has been done with your beautiful Bama hand-held pie graphic throughout the day today?

:scared:

[Heidi]

35. Dare I ask?

Do you think the Bama Pie Company might have a valid defamation claim against anyone? :rofl:

Link me to the damage, baby!

[southlandshari]

46. For starters....

There's this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4205601

I told them that Bama hand-held pie wasn't just something that they could all pass around at will, but no one listened to me!!!!

:cry:

[Heidi]

51. "It's Bamalicious."

There's absolutely no denying that statement!

Here, have a hug: :hug: :loveya:

[southlandshari]

62. Of course it is!

:evilgrin:

But it is also not something that is available to anyone and everyone who wants a slice, right?

:hide:

[Heidi]

69. True enough.

Some might compare handheld pie to the jewel in the lotus, for example.

[Tafiti]

42. Hey Heidi!

And everyone else! :hi:

[Heidi]

53. Hi, Tafiti!

:hug: How was your Tuesday? :pals:

[Tafiti]

66. Oh, you know...

...kinda busy. Had to paint for a few hours tonight. Not fun stuff, just walls and ceilings. :)

I'm getting excited for Thursday. I'm headed down to my alma mater to talk to some former professors and ask them to write me recommendation letters. I'm beginning the process of applying to grad school. Then that night, Mikhail Gorbachev is speaking, which should be pretty interesting.

More importantly, how was your Tuesday? :pals:

[alarcojon]

71. Evening, T

what are you planning on studying?

[Tafiti]

76. 'Sup alarco?

I will be continuing with political science, which is what I got my B.A. in. Not sure what my concentration would be yet. I'd have to choose two out of American Political Systems, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and Public Policy/Adminstration.

[alarcojon]

80. Cool!

I recommend you do a little research on the profs before you talk to them - their areas of interest, that kind of thing. Ask them what programs they'd recommend.

[Tafiti]

83. Thanks for the advice.

But this was a really small school, so small in fact, that they'd likely remember my name, even though I graduated in May of '03! One professor was my advisor, and had him for 3 classes, and two others for 2 classes each, 1 class with each having less than 10 people. Yeah, it was that small. Great school though.

But yeah, I was planning on sitting down with them and talking to them about in detail about the different areas of study.

[alarcojon]

84. Best of luck

[Tafiti]

87. Thanks, and by the way...

...you play classical guitar, right?

I would imagine you've heard Friday Night in San Francisco. Those guys are insane. Listening to it is almost depressing, knowing that some people were just born to play.

[Heidi]

72. Oh, my goodness.

You went to school in Manhattan, Kan.? Please report back on the Gorbachev lecture!

It was a fine, quiet Tuesday; I got a lot of painting done (when the Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger wasn't interrupting and disturbing the vibe. :eyes:)

[Tafiti]

78. Manhattan, Kan. ???

Not sure if you were joking or not( :shrug: ), but no, a small private school in southern Indiana actually. :)

I will report back...I've had this on my calendar for quite awhile now.

[Heidi]

79. Joke.

;)

One of my girlfriends/colleagues went to the Church of God college in Anderson, and I have friends from Michigan City. Oddly enough, though, I've never been to Indiana. :shrug:

[Tafiti]

81. Don't worry...

...you're not missing anything.

Ah yes, it's called Anderson University actually. I'm familiar. Been to Michigan City a handful of times as well.

Are you originally from the U.S.? Sorry, perhaps a stupid question, but I really have no idea. Sounds like it though, seeing as though you have friends/colleagues from INDIANA. :)

[Heidi]

82. Yep,

I'm a native-born US citizen. I have friends and colleagues from all over everywhere. That's because I'm _old_, ya see. :rofl:

[Tafiti]

85. Ahh, OK.

Yeah, no shit...42. That's so old! :P

Still can't believe that...I think you're a liar, just fishing for compliments. ;)

[Heidi]

86. Be careful . . .

or I'll post a photo of myself with my glasses on. Be afraid. Be very afraid. :rofl:

[Tafiti]

88. Do it.

I dare you. :)

You don't scare me. :smoke:

[Heidi]

89. .

:eyes:

[Tafiti]

91. Oh Heidi...

...ever the modest one. I already knew you were beautiful, and I don't get how you think glasses would change that! No no.

And hey, don't get snarky! --> ( :eyes: )

[Heidi]

92. Nah, I like glasses.

I just can't wear them when I'm working because they impede my peripheral vision.

You'll get no snark from me. My dark side is beige. :eyes:

[Tafiti]

94. Truly.

One of DU's kindest, you are. :hug:

And stop with the eyes, you're dark side is turning tan now! :D

[Wapsie B]

45. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

55. You're fashionably late!

That's a very good entry strategy, my friend. *Everyone turns to watch Mr. Iowa enter the room at his leisure.* :evilgrin:

:hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

70. Yes time to make my grand entrance.

:evilgrin:

:loveya: :hug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

54. Hey Heidi. Merry Fitzmas!

[Heidi]

60. It's not Merry Fitzmas just yet.

I've been disappointed too many times in the past six years to count my Fitzmas eggs before they're hatched. :cry:

(HI, CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! :hi: )

[alarcojon]

63. I'm with you, Heidi

Reminds me of this Ted Rall cartoon:

[SeattleGirl]

64. Hi Crazy!!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. My dear Crazy!

How are you tonight?

I like your Fitzmas card!

But the one I'm making will be even more beautiful!

Good to see you, as always.....


:loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

95. Hi there, Nighthawks and Earlybirds

:hi:
