Good Saturday Morning, Everyone!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
I hope all of you are having a GREAT weekend so far! I have to work today (and hopefully it will be a busy day so the time will go by faster) but I'm off tomorrow! :woohoo: Anything exciting happen overnight, Nighthawks?

[In_The_Wind]

1. Good Saturday Morning

The most exciting thing in my house overnight .... I fell asleep a little after 11

[Clintmax]

2. Hello, Miss Joan!

:hug: So did I. I read a couple of pages in a book and I was out! Now, here we are!

[In_The_Wind]

5. If I'm real lucky ...

I'll be able to catch a little more sleep before I tackle today. I still have that roof_fixing_job to take care of, we don't expect rain this weekend - although is is a bit cool. I don't have any idea about the temperatures that are needed to cure the silicone caulk I think I'll be using.

My wireless computer card is fun. After I spent 2 hours in Cingular getting 3 years of unnecessary junk cleared out of my laptop - I was good to go. On my way home I got stuck at a railroad crossing with a very slow freight train passing through town. I whipped out my laptop and sent one PM and one post. That was exciting! Of course I pulled over to shut everything down before finishing my drive home.

*note to self* no posting while driving ...

[Clintmax]

7. Wow!

I bet that WAS exciting! That's GREAT! Does it get good reception everywhere?

[In_The_Wind]

11. It is more sensitive to any temporary loss of signal.

so it did go off line several times while I was playing with my laptop in my bedroom just before I fell asleep ...

the salesman/tech said that you don't notice a momentary break in service on the cell phones as you do on a computer ...

reconnecting is easy and then I just hit the back button to continue what I was doing before I was knocked off-line ...

the service is faster than dial-up but slower than cable ...

this opens a whole new world to me ...

the possibilities are endless ...

when DU calms down and things are moving slowly again - perhaps I'll start a thread asking about "How can you earn money using a computer" ...

I'm not interested in buying things to resale on e-bay as one of my friends suggested ... but there must be a way ...

[Clintmax]

14. The E-bay thing is NOT easy...

There is a LOT more to it than you'd think and you have to spend as much time and energy doing it as a regular job. Plus, there's always the chance you'll get a deadbeat bidder and then it's hell on Earth to try to get your listing fees back and stuff. I wouldn't ever suggest E-bay as a job to make a living by. It's OK if you just have a few things you want to get rid of, but not as your sole source of income.

[In_The_Wind]

21. I may list some new things that I own but will never use.

but I doubt it ...

[Clintmax]

23. Yeah, see...that's the way to do that...

Like I said yesterday...let me know what you come up with, and I'll be on the lookout for BOTH of us also!

[In_The_Wind]

31. Hey Clint ~ Have A Great Day!

two more hours see ya later ... bye

BTW - with all the truly active minds here at DU, I think we'll come up with something ...

[Clintmax]

33. I think so too! Have a good rest, Miss Joan!

:hug::hug:

[NMMNG]

3. Ain't nothing going on but the earning of the rent

How are things down your way?

[Clintmax]

4. Hello, Miss Buffy!

:hi:
Things are fine. I'm having some coffee and waking up with my friends here on DU! I hear ya about the rent thing. Same here.

[NMMNG]

6. I'm near the end of a pot of coffee myself

Next to last mug (decaf though). I have four more hours of a 12 hour shift to get through then I can go home and crash. :boring:

[Clintmax]

8. 12 hour shift...

:puke: x( I bet THAT sucks. But, I'm glad it's *almost* over for ya. I have to work 9 to 5 today (the Dolly Parton song is now playing in my head: "Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'...") and then I'm off on Sunday so that's good.

[NMMNG]

9. Ewww, what a terrible earworm

Yeah, weekends suck for me--three 12 hour shifts in a row (or longer if they need me to work extra). But it helps pay the bills and I get my bennies through them so :shrug:.

[Clintmax]

10. 3 of them!

Holey moley! You NEVER get ANY time to yourself on the weekends, huh? Where on EARTH do you work that you have to put in THAT much time?

[NMMNG]

12. I work with the developmentally disabled

I've been doing it for 18 years now and I can safely say I'm burned out on it.

[Clintmax]

13. Well, well!

That's a noble job! Important too. But I can certainly see how you'd be burned out too. Do you have any vacation time you could take?

[NMMNG]

15. I've done used up all of my vacation time for the year

Most recently for Women's Week in Provincetown earlier this month. Now I have nothing to look forward to but a long, bleak winter of work and no play. :cry:

[Clintmax]

22. Goodness!

Well, you stay right here with US and we'll help you get through it! :hug:

[NMMNG]

25. Yes, you guys will

You guys, my books, the voices in my head and the occasional Black Russian. ;-)

[Clintmax]

28. LOL!

You're so funny!

[WCGreen]

37. I heard black russians do it on the rocks....

[Clintmax]

39. Hello, WC!

:hi:

[WCGreen]

41. I'm already one post ahead...

My MIL has a 75 year at the same church thing goin' tomorrow...

Best part is, we get a good brunch over looking Lake Erie...

[Clintmax]

42. I see you are!

:rofl: I want to have brunch overlooking Lake Erie!

[WCGreen]

43. It's really good food....

I went there one time and ran into Jim Thome, the baseball player..

Man could that guy eat....

[Clintmax]

44. I bet THAT was exciting!

I want to eat there!

[billyskank]

16. Hiya clint

:hi:

[Clintmax]

18. Hello, Billy!

:hi:
You having a good weekend so far?

[billyskank]

26. Yeah, pretty good thanks!

Gotta do some fairly major surgery on my PC in a while...after I've cleaned the house.

(I have to replace its PSU, which means a lot of wires must be unplugged).

[Clintmax]

29. Ugh!

I HATE that. I'm always afraid I'm going to cross some wires or something and cause the damned thing to explode like a 50 megaton atom bomb!

[billyskank]

32. Fixing and building PCs is always scary

I'm just always petrified it won't work when I put it all back together. And there always seems to be one moment during the operation when I think "oh no, I've really screwed it up now." So far I haven't broken anything though!

[Clintmax]

34. I know the feeling.

I thought the same thing several times. Good luck with it, BTW.

[Omphaloskepsis]

17. It is still Friday here..

Not really, but it doesn't change for me until I go to sleep. The bars closed at 2:30 and it took about an hour to ride my bike home.

[Clintmax]

20. Good Evening, then!

:hi:
I hope you weren't too far gone and THAT'S why it took you so long to get home!

[Omphaloskepsis]

24. Nope.. I just live far away..

And we drank a few beers in the park.

[Clintmax]

30. Oh OK...

Well try to get some sleep in a while, then wake up and come back here all refreshed and stuff!

[Omphaloskepsis]

35. I'm going to stay up for a few hours..

The plan is to wake up around 2pm.. BBQ.. And go party all night. I love Halloween.

[Clintmax]

36. Ah, Ok!

Well I hope you have the best EVER!

[Scooter24]

19. Heya Clint!

:hi:
Good morning! :)

My weekend looks to be great. Halloween party tonight (lots of boys, lots of booze, lots of (insert whatever you wish here)! hehe

I was up late reading the first 12 chapters of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Looks to be a beautiful day. I have to wash my new car then go grocery shopping, stop by the cleaners, then go have lunch with the parents who are in town.

Thanks for the great wakeup call :hug:

[Clintmax]

27. Morning, Scooter!

Good to see you! Sounds like you have a great day planned! I hope you have lots of fun, Dude. :hug:

I'm going to have to go get ready for work in a little while, but until then, I'm right here with ya. And you're welcome about the wake up call.

51. Good morning to you all!

Going to be a great day today. I'm meeting my son's fiance's mom for the first time and looking forward to it.

We're taking the grandchildren to the pumpking patch (they are 2 and one month) and taking pix.

Then I'm spending the rest of the day trying to get ahead of the dog hair on this tile floor. The black lab is blowing her coat in preparation for winter.
