Good Wednesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Hump Day edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I hope you had a good Tuesday! Once we get today over with, we will be on our way to the Weekend! :woohoo: I just happen to be off work today, so it's going to be an easy Hump Day for me! I'm going to take Tony to the groomers this morning because it is WAY past his time for a hair cut. Other than that, I haven't really made any plans.

Yesterday, we started posting our pictures here in the Good Morning thread! I'm going to collect these together and put them in an Early Morning Crew photo montague (I hope I'm spelling that right), that I think will be really cool! So far, I've received pictures of: Billyskank, BuffyTheFundieSlayer, Hissyspit, Joan_Alpern, MissHoneyChurch, MrsGrumpy, Mutley_r_Us, Random_Australian, Starbucks Anarchist and Swimboy! As you can see, we have a long way to go, so those of you who haven't posted yours yet please do when you can.

I was watching the game show "Deal or No Deal" last night (I posted a thread about it last night but it dropped like a stone)...that freakin show stresses me out! x( Have you watched it before? It's the game where a contestant has 26 cases with money amounts ranging from one cent all the way up to a million dollars and they have to open each case one by one, and after each set of cases are opened, the banker dude calls and gives a dollar amount for the person to take right then to quit. The sound effect they use as each case is opened doesn't help matters either! I end up holding my breath as I'm waiting for each one to open. x( And when they hear the amount the banker offers, the idiots always say: "NO DEAL!" :mad: :rofl:

OK...enough of that. Let's get this day started, my crew! :bounce: Time to rise and shine!

2. Morning!

[Clintmax]

3. Hail, Random!

:hi:
How's it hanging, Mate?

[Random_Australian]

4. My legs are hanging fine. My country isn't bad either.

You?

[Clintmax]

5. I'm doing just fine too!

LOL...you and the "legs" reference! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

15. Yep. That joke has a life of its own. Legs of it's own too.

Q. If you took a tree from a forest and learnt German with paper made from the badgers clinging to its roots, would I make up nonsensical questions in German too?

A. Hay, except in the winter months when it was probably a meal of chaff.

[swimboy]

20. Your hovercraft is full of eels.

Wolverines aside.

[Random_Australian]

37. That was yesterday.

The changed into asparagus when I convinced NASA to use spaghetti as a verb.

Anyway, anything interesting happening?

[swimboy]

49. Strange navel oranges electrocuted the clown child, again.

other than that, same old same old!

[Random_Australian]

62. Again? This is getting a little frequent. Have you tried cheering cocnuts?

Or are you just plain nuts?

I WON A BOOK!

[swimboy]

67. How'd you win a book?

One worth having, I hope?

[Random_Australian]

72. Finding the equations of motion for a sphere that can take any reasonable

charge hanging as a pendulum between two charged plates.

FYI, T = 2 * sqrt< (2*L*m)/(qE)>

Cool huh? I was the quickest by a long, long way too. Several hours as far as I know.

I'll announce it to the Lounge tomorrow, when I have pics.

[swimboy]

83. So you're cute as anything and a genius as well, eh!

:applause: Many congratulations! :applause:

Very impressive, moreso if I understood it! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

88. Thankyou! Thankyou! I'll announce my winnings to the Lounge on

the morrow with pictorial evidence.

All the equation meant was that the period of oscillation is twice the square root of twice the mass & distance the two plates are seperated, divided by the product of the charge on the sphere & the strength of the field.

So, does that make any sense?

[Clintmax]

38. Ummm...Dude, you've got me all adrift again.

Quit it! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

47. I can make things better! Have a new and better pic!

In fact I would prefer it if you used this one.

[Clintmax]

73. WHOA!

Any closer and we'd be looking at the BACK of your head, Man! :rofl: OK...I'll use that one if you're SURE you want that one used in the Montague.

[Random_Australian]

80. Yep. My eyes follow you around the room.

Ok there is also a much, much better reason for using that one, but it is Aussie culturally specific, so it is hard to explain.

Anything special happen yestertoday?

[Clintmax]

85. LOL! Yestertoday?

:rofl:
Nothing extra special. I had my new car washed. That's about all that was different. We had several sexy boys come into the store yesterday...that's always fun! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

96. Indeed. New car? COOL. Anyway, the Hallelujah chorus is awesome.

And what is more, yestertoday I won a book! I will announce it to the Lounge tomorrow with pictorial evidence.

[Clintmax]

106. Yep! New car!

Here it is:

Congratulations on winning the book, Mate! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

109. Wow! Shiny and good! Thanks for the congrats!

What is more, replace 'if' by 'and' this will be funny! (I'll edit it in)

Edit:

[wildhorses]

169. ya know why I love ya RA???

cos you are a certifiable nut job (much like myself, me thinks)
nitey nite
:hug:

[swimboy]

18. Morning, Random!

:hi: Everything fine down there today? I enjoyed seeing your pictures yesterday. You caused quite a stir. I think shockwaves moved through DU! :rofl:

It's great having you around!

[Random_Australian]

54. Wow! Thanks! Hi! I posted on pic, just once, long ago,

and until then I thought I was really unnactractive. Cool how things turn out!

Here's a new pic:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Me too! I have high blood pressure, and I swear I am going to have

a heart attack everytime I watch that show. The one the other night where the girl's sister was the model with the case...and she didn't recognize her had me laughing so hard. Not even her own mother recognized her. :rofl: :hug:

[Clintmax]

11. Good Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
I just keep yelling at the TV..."Take the deal! Take the deal! Oh, shit! Here we go again!" :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. MrG and I argue on that all the time. Once it gets past $25,000, especiall

if they are having bad luck, I am screaming "Take the Deal" as well. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

43. Yes...the fools!

CNBC played an episode last night and it was a lady who said she was a Psychic and wanted enough money so her husband could retire. She kept going and going until she had to take $97,000. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

24. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

There is a British version of the show - though I have to admit never to having watched it.

How's things going for you today?

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Hi tj!! I am good, thanks. I woke up a bit tired...but my eyes are alittle

more open now. :) The show is addictive...that and I have no life. :rofl: :hug:

How are things with you?

[tjwmason]

39. It took quite some time for me to get going this morning too.

I had planned to get into work early, so I could dash out afterwards to get a new coffee-grinder (mine is far from happy, and needs to be sent to retirement), I was about to get up thinking it was about half past seven, when the presenter on the radio announced that it was time for the 8 o'clock news :eyes:

All's well now though. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. Wednesday is always a tough day for me for some reason.

My husband's aunt (our real estate agent) is coming over tonight, and I left too much of the little stuff until the last minute. Shame on me. ;)

[tjwmason]

69. The little stuff always takes longer than it ought.

Pity you can't have a DUer party to help you finish it all off.

[ScreamingMeemie]

117. Before I clicked on this I was just thinking that it would be awesome

to have a bunch of DUers over to just toss some little odds and ends... And then I'd make us all dinner. :bounce: :hug:

[tjwmason]

124. Great minds think alike.

:bounce: :hug:

[Mutley]

61. Mornin MrsG.

:hi: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

114. Hi mutley!

:hug: I saw your picture in the Tuesday Clintmax thread and you are absolutely stunning. How's your day?

[Mutley]

7. Mornin' Clint!

:bounce: :hug:

I've never seen "Deal or No Deal". Sounds irritating, though.

[Clintmax]

13. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
Oh my goodness, it will give you a heart attack! :rofl: It's a great concept, but they use as much suspense as they can! I LOVE the picture you posted in yesterdays thread! :loveya: I hadn't ever seen a picture of you, you little cutie pie! :hug:

[Mutley]

35. Perhaps I'll have to try and see it.

And thank you, Clint. :blush: It's rare I actually get a decent photo of myself. You're quite the cutie yourself. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

46. Awww...you're such a sweetie!

Thank you back, my dear! Take some heart medicine before you watch it. :rofl:

[Mutley]

59. Baby aspirin is probably best for potential heart problems.

:P

[Clintmax]

75. That's true...plus, they taste good too!

:rofl:
I remember that taste from when I was a kid.

[Mutley]

77. Me too.

I was always given the cherry coated ones. Ah, memories. :D

[Clintmax]

89. Oh yes.

Memories. Funny the things we remember, huh? My brother and I came up with a list of "Rememberies" we compiled from our childhood...we had a great time putting it together! There's over 150 things on that list so far! :bounce:

[Mutley]

91. That's a grand idea.

My sister and I should do that as well, as we're always talking about all that anyway.

[Clintmax]

93. It WAS a great idea!

I printed out our list and I read through it every once in a while! I'll get it out and give you a few examples so you can see how WE did it!

[Mutley]

101. Excellent!

:bounce:

[Clintmax]

107. OK...actually there are 271 of them!

I was just reading through them again and most of them you won't understand. Here's a couple though...

177. Rubiks Cubes that we never could solve.

201. "Up down up down left right left right B A start" - The cheat code for the old Nintendo

231. Catching June Bugs and tying a string to their back legs.

:rofl::rofl:

[Mutley]

115. Rubiks Cubes, yes.

I solved one once in my whole life, and could never do it again. I just got incredibly lucky.

The cheat codes for Nintendo! :woohoo: I can't believe you remember that. :rofl:

Why would you tie a string to a bugs legs? :P

[Clintmax]

119. LOL!

Well...June Bugs fly and they are big bugs (you know). We'd tie a string to their back leg and let them go. They fly around at the end of our strings and it was funny as hells! :rofl:

[Mutley]

121. That is so mean!

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

129. LOL! Hey, it was fun!

But see...it's that kind of memory we wanted to save! And like I said...there's 271 just like that!

[Mutley]

132. That is a good idea, though.

I'll bring that up to my sister next time we speak. She should love it.

[Clintmax]

143. You two will have a great time getting it all down on paper!

JEEZUS! Greekspeak came into the room and scared the crap outta me! :scared: Hang on while I pick myself off the ceiling. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Clintmax!!!

Good morning, my dear friend! I've only caught part of Deal or No Deal. I don't think I'm missin' much


Usually the only game show I watch is Jeopardy. And I always forget to frame my answers in the form of a question, but hey, I'm not acutally ON the show, so it doesn't count!!

Okay, here's a pic of me for the Rogue's Gallery!

[Clintmax]

16. Good Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug::bounce:
It's SO good to see you! :woohoo: I LOVE that picture! Thank you so much! It's a good game show, but they decided to use as much suspense as possible to give those of us watching heart failure! :rofl: I love Jeopardy too, but it is too damned hard for me. SOME of the answers I have questions for, but mostly I'm like: "Ummmm....what?" :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Well, at least you answered the things you didn't know in the

form of a question, which is more than I usually do! :rofl:

And thanks for the compliment on the pic. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

53. Well, heck...

If I were actually ON the show, I'd be a wreck and not do it right either, so it's just as well that I'm not! :rofl: YOu're welcome! Your hair style is great! :bounce::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

74. Well, did you know that our very own Aristis is going to be on

Jeopardy next month???? Isn't that wonderful???

[Clintmax]

76. Oh, Wow!

That IS fantastic! :bounce: Let me know when so I can watch, 'K?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

17. Hail, Starbucks!

:hi::bounce:
Are you having a good Wednesday so far?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Uh... sure.

:D

[Clintmax]

56. I'm glad!

I know...it's still WAY early! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

26. SA!!!!

:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. SG!

:loveya:

EDIT: Hey, I should have my thoughts on the Springsteen albums for you soon. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Cool!

I look forward to them! :loveya:

[NMMNG]

10. Good morning Clint!

I've seen "Deal or No Deal" and I have to say I found it to be incredibly dull, primarily because it's so slow moving/drawn out. However I've never been a big fan of game shows so it's no surprise that I didn't go for it.



"We Just Disagree"--now that brings back memories of when my friend and I used to play in her parents' basement as children. We had some good times back then.

[Clintmax]

23. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
Yes, the show takes a long time to get to the end. I like SOME game shows, but that one is too damned suspenseful! :rofl: I've said it before, but I'll say it again, you and I would get completely along in the music department! :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

29. Buffy, baby!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[NMMNG]

42. Hey GF!!!

[SeattleGirl]

50. Smoochies, baby!

:* :* :*

[swimboy]

12. Good morning, Clinticles!

:bounce: How are you this fine morning? :hi:

[Clintmax]

27. Hail, Swimboy!

:hi::hug::rofl:
There you go with that Clinticles thing! :rofl: You just crack me up, Dude! Thank you for the picture! LOVE IT! :bounce: I'm doing just fine, thank you! You doing OK?

[swimboy]

41. Heheheh!

I'm glad you like the picture! It's good to see yours as well! :hug: All's well here. Except . . . you don't have my journal blogrolled, dude! (If that's the right term :shrug: ) :rofl:

I'm looking forward to seeing your morning crew montage. DU is a beautiful group of people, innit?

[Clintmax]

58. I dont have your Journal blogrolled?

Well hells! Sorry, Dude! I'll go fix it right now! Yeah, DU is just chocked FULL of beautiful people! The Morning Crew has be best of a good crop too! :bounce:

[swimboy]

63. Thanks,man!

and I agree! I love looking in on the Crew! :thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

79. Done!

Sorry for the delay! We've got quite a group here that's for sure! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

28. Good morning swimboy.

:hi:

Also known as bloody hell, you got here before me.

Hope that life is more than jolly in Virginia today.

:hug:

[swimboy]

60. Yeh, post 12 in the morning crew!

I might have been earlier if my screen refreshed a little more automatically!

Good to see you hard at work (no pun intended :o). I have lots of work too, so I am quite certain we won't be seeing each other on DU today.

:eyes: and quite possibly :sarcasm:

[tjwmason]

68. I have been working hard this morning.

Really.

Genuinely.

Honestly.

I already tell that you're unconvinced.

Have you got your new computer at work yet?

(Oh and :spank: for that naughty naughty pun, I know you really did intend it, you're just like that.)

[swimboy]

78. Ooh, ow! Ooh, ow!

They came Monday and gave everyone but me and one other person (a very nice, kind woman) new computers and then yesterday noone came round. :grr: I'm hoping they'll show up today.


While you're hard at work, I think I'll roll over for another forty winks. Sorry old bean, but then, you'll be in your garden with a tinkling glass long before I'm home!

:loveya:

[tjwmason]

84. Lazy bastard.

Here's me hard at work, and you hard at rest. :evilgrin:

Speak later, I'm sure. Distractions always most welcome in the part of the world - especially if you're in those glasses and a dark jacket :wow:

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

104. Hello swimboy

one time you are online more than five seconds and I miss it :banghead:

[swimboy]

172. I am too unpredictable!

I was up earlier today than usual. I looked for you! :hug:

Now I am just poking my head in again before a meeting I could not wriggle out of.

[tjwmason]

21. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

A charming day here in merry England - with only two down-sides, first I think I've got the beginnings of a nasty cold that's been going around, and I've also got a large pile of work to be done. x(

But life is still good, and I'm still in a jolly mood. :D

:hug:

[swimboy]

Good day to you!

:hi: :loveya: I hope that cold passes you by! I don't want you suffering with that! :hug: I am glad you're in a good mood to address your enormous stacks of work. :(

Thanks for tucking me in last night! ;)

[tjwmason]

44. I tend to catch any cold within a hundred miles.

But then not suffer too much with them.

I've told the relevant germs that swimboy tells them to go away - I'm sure that they'll do as you instruct them.

:hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

32. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you're having such a good day! :bounce: I hope today is such a day here in Florida too! Hey, where's YOUR picture, Mister Man? :spank:

[tjwmason]

51. If you're off work, it's bound to be a good day.

I hope that it's beautiful and sunny for you too. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

64. It's supposed to be...

Sunny and 80 degrees! :woohoo: I just had my car washed yesterday, so I was hoping I'd get at least one day without rain! Looks like I'm going to get my wish! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

71. You'll be able to cruise around with Tony then.

Sounds like a great day. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

82. I hope it is...

Actually, there's no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days! :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

87. We actually need some rain here.

South-East England is on the verge of a drought.

We've already got a hose-pipe ban round here.

[Clintmax]

90. Wow...

well you're not the only ones. There are several cities around the U.S. with the same problem. I hope it rains for you soon then.

[tjwmason]

98. I never use a hose-pipe anyway.

I water the garden from a water-butt which collect rain-water.

But it doesn't bode well for the summer.

Pity I don't know any rain-dances to help...

[Clintmax]

110. Me neither!

I wish I did too! I only know country dances. :rofl: That won't help.

[Mutley]

40. Mornin' tj.

:hi: :hug:

Drink some orange juice and you might be able to avoid that cold.

[tjwmason]

57. Good morning Mutley.

:hi:

I bought a litre of orange juice this morning (we have to buy it in foreign measures here, I've got no idea what a litre is in English), and most of it's gone already.

How are you this fine day?

:hug:

[Mutley]

66. We have litres here as well, except they are liters.

:P

A pint is .473 liters.

I am well. We've finally started final exams at school, though my first isn't until Friday.

[tjwmason]

81. In that case - I've drunk 2 and a bit pints.

Seems like a reasonable start. :D

[Mutley]

86. Oh yes, that seems good.

Last time I got sick I drank a gallon of OJ in two days. The cold went right away. :P

[tjwmason]

92. I feel better already.

But that could well just be the effects of hanging round with such wonderful folk this morning. :hug:

[Mutley]

99. It is rumored that the Lounge has good "get well" vibes.

:hug:

[tjwmason]

102. I'm sure that it does.

Sickness and all other nastiness can be banished. :bounce: :bounce:

[sbj405]

25. Morning, Clint!

I haven't seen Deal or No deal, but from what I heard a girl I knew from college was actually on the show. I got the message too late, so I didn't actually see her.

[Clintmax]

33. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi::hug:
Watch it one time and you'll see what I mean. x( It'll give you heart failure! :rofl:

[crispini]

31. Morning!

:donut: Ugh. It seems the morning is getting earlier and earlier these days.... :hi:

[Clintmax]

34. Good Morning, Crispini!

:hi:
Hey, it's good for ya! Early to bed, early to rise and all that jazz! :rofl:

[crispini]

52. If only I *could* sleep in when I wanted to, I wouldn't mind so much!

:boring:

[Clintmax]

65. You've go the insomnia thing going on, huh?

I'm sorry. My Greekspeak does too sometimes.

[crispini]

105. Oh, I can GO to sleep, but when I wake up,

I'm awake, and it's OVER! No more rolling over and napping for me. Damn. That was always the best part of the day, the going back to sleep. :D

[Clintmax]

148. I'm the same way...

If I wake up, I'm up. That's IT. End of discussion. :rofl: Luckily, I don't wake up in the middle of the night usually.

[Minnesota Libra]

48. Good Morning - I love hump day, it puts everyone one day closer.....

....to the weekend. :bounce: Have a good day watching neocons/fundies squirm trying to distance themselves from the WH Idiot. :rofl: I love it!! :toast:

I've never watch the show "Deal or No Deal" but then I'm not the game show type. I've got a neighbor who watches every game show that ever hits her TV screen and for the life of me I could never figure out why. I asked her one day why she liked game shows so much and her answer was, "Because I can pretend it's me winning all those prizes and money." Ok, well we all have to have dreams and that's hers. :hug:

:hug: Have a good day everyone!! :grouphug:

[Clintmax]

70. Hail, Minnesota!

:hi:
Yes, we're getting close now! :bounce: It's good to see you today, Man! Have a great day today!

[MissHoneychurch]

94. Good morning Clint

I got a postcard today from a customer I helped some time ago. He seems so impressed by my name that he now sent me a postcard from a lake where a poet lived and that reminded him of me. Oh boy :rofl:

Here is what he wrote. The comments in the <> are by me:

Dear Mrs. S.
with the name Nora - full of meaning. At the Lake of Constance I get reminded of Hölderlin <a German poet and writer from the 18/19th century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6lderlin>. "Glückseliges Lindau" <"Blissful Lindau"> says it in his homeland-poem. You would know right away where that is to be found <not really>. I have to look for it, when I am home <great, he is gonna call me again :eyes: >. At the moment I am (almost happy) at the Lake Constance. ,Yours H.H.

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

95. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
Isn't it a little weird for a customer to send you a postcard like that? :shrug: And just out of the blue too! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

97. Yes it is weird

I think he is an elderly man. I never met him, we only talked on the phone. But oh well, if it makes him happy and he isn't bothering me too much I don't mind.

[Clintmax]

149. Well, if he's not bothering you, that's OK I guess.

Still...weird. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

150. I even got chocolate once

as thank you. Not from this guy, from someone else. It surprises me everytime when I get a thank-you for doing my job. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

158. It's nice when someone takes the time and appreciates you.

not many people do that any more.

[tjwmason]

100. Good morning Miss Honeychurch.

:hi:

Looks like you make a great impression on everybody you come across.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

103. Good mornign tj

:hi:

LOL ... I was just doing my job.

I get along with almost everybody. I am myself. I guess that is the clue. :hug:

[tjwmason]

123. that just proves what a delightful person you are.

Though we'd realised that long ago. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

138. Aww shucks

:blush:

[LaurenG]

108. Good Morning Clint!

It's nice to see you today!

I had a good trip. We drove through Missouri twice and I thought about you. Actually we stayed in Springfield on the way back. I did want you to know that as red as Missouri is they are very progressive. We saw several priuses in that state along with the billboards about farmers making more bio fuels. I liked it.

Anyway, I hope you have a really good day today.

:) :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Clintmax]

112. Good morning, Miss Ohio!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you too, my dear! :loveya: You stayed in Springfield?! WOW! That's cool! That's my hometown! :bounce: Yes, I wish Missouri wasn't so freakin red. I hope you have a great Hump Day too!

111. Fl check-in

Hi Clint - I watched that show the first time it was on. Since I usually don't post at night, I didn't see your comments. Anyway, I'm not sure why it is such a hit, but each to his own. We did get some rain yesterday - I'm sure we need more, but what the heck, some is better than none.

[Clintmax]

116. Hail, Flblu!

:hi:
Yes, some is better than none. We don't have any rain in the forecast for the next seven days either! That's OK by me though, I just had my car washed yesterday afternoon.

[AirmensMom]

113. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

I'm sorry I missed yesterday's thread ... guess I'll have to go back and look at it.

No, I haven't seen that show. I have enough stress in my life for now, though, so I think I'll pass. :rofl: Of course, we've been watching Deadliest Catch which isn't exactly relaxing! :rofl:

We got my mom on the plane yesterday. I have no idea if she arrived home, but she would have gotten in too late to call us. I spent the entire day packing up the room she stayed in. I'm SO tired -- when will this ever end? (Do we really need all this stuff?) I'm actually drinking coffee this morning to try to get myself going. Someone better come over and scrape me off the ceiling in a while ... I'm really sensitive to caffeine.

[MissHoneychurch]

118. Good morning AM

:hug:

so good to see you. I missed you yesterday.

I once drank coffee in the afternoon. I was awake till 4am. I can live without that :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

122. Good morning, MissHC!

:loveya: :hug:

I just looked at yesterday's thread ... GREAT pic you posted! :bounce:

Coffee BAD! :rofl: Guess I could've had a cup of jasmine tea and gotten a more gentle kick. :shrug: Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

[MissHoneychurch]

126. Well, you will have now a LOT of energy

:woohoo: :woohoo: :rofl:

Thanks. Are you gonna post your pic?

[AirmensMom]

131. I don't have one.

My laptop is still kaput and that's where all the pics are. Do you really want me to take one while I'm all stressed out? Besides, I don't have any good ones. I need one that looks a little, well ... less like me! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

135. I like the pics you showed me

don't be too hard on yourself. Says the one person that stands rather behind the camera than in front of one :eyes:

[AirmensMom]

145. That would be me!

:rofl: I'm hardly in any of the pics when the kids were growing up b/c I'm the photographer. :shrug: OK, I'll be a little more gentle on myself. I never like pics of me, though ... until ten years later! Then I wonder why I didn't like a particular one. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

154. The other day

OK, some months ago I visited an old schoolfriend. She took out the pics from our trip to Berlin at the end of the 10th grade. I knew again exactly why I hate pics of myself. Oh gosh, those pics are so embarrassing :blush:

[AirmensMom]

157. Well, who likes their 10th grade pics?

I can't think of anyone I know who didn't look positively uncomfortable at that age. :hug:

[Clintmax]

127. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug::loveya:
I'm glad to see you today! Missed you yesterday! Yes, that damned game show will give you heart failure! :rofl: We did a "Post your pic" thread yesterday and I started collecting the photos to put into an Early Morning Crew montague! It's going to be great once I get it finished!

Moving sucks, my dear. x( I know how you feel. It seems like it's never going to end. When Greekspeak and I moved from Missouri to down here in Florida, we threw away so much junk and STILL had a full truck when we got finished, and we had rented the longest "U-Haul" truck you can get! (it wasn't u-haul...it was the big yellow trucks, I can't think of the name)

[AirmensMom]

140. I looked at yesterday's thread.

We have some damn fine looking DUers! I'll try to get a pic to you one of these days. Maybe harleydad will pour me a stiff drink and take one while I'm relaxed. :rofl:

Ryder ... they have a big yellow truck. We rented their biggest one for one of our first moves. And we hardly had any furniture then! We gave away a pile of stuff when we put the house on the market. But there's always more. And it's SO sad tearing the rooms down. I love this house and all the rooms were really cute. Plus, this is the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my whole life -- 12 years! Actually, it'll be EXACTLY 12 years two days before we move. I'm just getting all sappy and weird about it. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

151. No, it wasn't Ryder...

It was Penske. I had to ask Greekspeak what it was. :rofl: 12 years is a long time...I can certainly understand how you'd feel sappy about moving from there. :hug: I can't wait to see your picture! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

155. They have a yellow truck, too?

You would think there are enough colors to go around. :rofl:

Thanks for the hug. :hug: I think it's hard being all alone today, too. It was like Grand Central Station here yesterday with all of us home and getting Mom ready. Today it's QUIET.

You might have a bit of a wait for a picture. But I'll see what I can do. I tried a few self-portraits when harleydad was in TN, but they're all goofy ... and on the laptop where I can't get to them right now. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

159. That's OK...

I can just go find one that you posted in a different post your pic thread if you don't mind. Don't worry about going and trying to find one right now. YOu've got enough to worry about. Alas, I need to get off here now and go take Tony to the groomers. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

163. If I don't get one to you sooner,

that'll be fine. (But I look so OLD in that one. :cry:) Have a nice day then! Hope to see you tomorrow! :hug: :loveya: :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

120. Hi Y'all

I haven't watched "Deal or No Deal". I think it might be toooo much excitement for me. x(

[Clintmax]

133. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to see you today! :loveya: It's a stressful game show, that's for sure!

[In_The_Wind]

144. Maybe I should declare an appletini night and laugh my ass off at it!

I have temporally overloaded my plate with stress. x(

[Clintmax]

152. Well then let's not add to it!

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

147. Good morning, Joani!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Am I gonna see you soon? Are you all ready? :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

164. I'm working toward being there next week.

Last night I checked the average weather for the time I'll be down there and started resorting my clothes. x( It is not crocheted doily dress time in the Keys! I'm beginning to worry that my gauchos made from teeshirt material might be too hot to wear. I may windup wearing a bathing suit bottom and tees most of the time. HELP! I can't run around nekkid all the time!
My new Dell laptop and Canon camera are here! I'm reducing my stress lever by hiring an acquaintance for the afternoon tomorrow to see if we can sort out the marriage of technologies without giving me another panic attack. D'oh! What in the world was I thinking when I went shopping for a simple but totally awesome and excellent camera.*Smacks Self In Head*

[AirmensMom]

167. Next week!

Wow! :bounce:

It's not crocheted doily dress time? Too hot, you mean? Heck -- we can always douse you with some cool water! :rofl: Bathing suit bottoms and tees sound perfect to me! :bounce:

You got a Dell laptop? PLEASE get the extended warranty or whatever it is that lets them talk to you and fix the problem after you've had it for 2 years. I'm having a terrible time with mine and they're telling me that my warranty is expired, even though the paperwork says it's good for another 1 1/2 years. :shrug:

Getting the Canon to work with it is pretty easy. The Canon cameras come with some great software! :bounce: I hope you have fun with it! :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

170. So ~ you don't think this little number will be too hot?

I extended my warranty AND upgraded to in_home_service. This is my second Dell laptop and my main computer is also a Dell. The software looks amazing. I didn't realize what a great package I purchased. I want to become comfortable with the 20D first and then buy a great zoom lens!

[newyawker99]

125. Good morning everyone!

:donut:



:hi:

[Clintmax]

134. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:

[lizziegrace]

128. Morning Clint!

I don't watch "Deal or No Deal". Sorry I couldn't help your thread!

Same old, same old here. Still looking for permanent, full-time with benefits. My daughter and I have been without medical insurance for months and months now and I have drugs I have to take to keep breathing. Tough to buy when you work 2 weeks and 2 days a month just to pay the rent.

Send those positive thoughts and :bounce: my way. I need them!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

137. Good Morning, Lizzie!!

I'm sorry to hear about the insurance thing. :hug: Sending as many good vibes and hugs as I can! I wish you the best! :bounce::bounce:

[Cannikin]

130. Good morning guys and gals! Hope everyone is having a good morning!

[tjwmason]

136. Good morning Cannikin.

:hi:

Having as good a time as I can amidst piles of work.

I was just about to take some lunch, now I know what stopped me, my subconscious knew that I just had to be around to see you.

:hug:

[Cannikin]

141. Awe. You're too sweet. I hope you enjoy your lunch.

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

139. Hail, Cannikin!

:hi::bounce:
We've got a great morning going on so far, Man! Even better now that you're here with us! Where's YOUR picture? I want to include you too!

[Cannikin]

142. Oh my....let me check my photobucket...here we go

[Clintmax]

146. GREAT picture, Dude!

:bounce:
Thank you for that! Are you a pilot? I took flying lessons for a long time.

[Cannikin]

153. Other pilots tell me I'm a natural, but I haven't gotten my

certification yet.

[Clintmax]

162. I had to stop when I threw up all over the controls.

:rofl:
I got too airsick and it was awful. x( See ya later, Man! :hi:

[Random_Australian]

156. On second thoughts, pick whatecer pic you think is best. Or run a poll.

[Clintmax]

160. LOL! I'll use what ever picture you want me to, Man.

It's up to YOU!

[Clintmax]

161. Time to get going, my crew!

I have to go take Tony to the groomers in a short while and I need to have breakfast first. I'll see you in the morning! Take care of each other! :grouphug:

Clint

[wildhorses]

165. damn...too late AGAIN!!! I miss you Clintmax...and oh yeah

GOOD MORNING!!! I love the Dave Mason song...have that album and I posted my pic in one of your threads some time ago ...do I need to post it again? It was taken a year ago this month. One of these days I will post new ones but, I have not changed much, my hair is longer. Take care and Have a wonderful Wednesday.
:hug::loveya::hug:



:cry: cos I missed you again this morning

[In_The_Wind]

166. Good morning ~ wildhorses

How are you today?

[wildhorses]

168. Hey Joani, good to see you

:hi::hug:

I am tired...it was hectic in the ER...now I am home and sipping on a glass of vino


I have been reading the DODQ thread and I just HAD to post in it...


I do not recognize some the people but, you guys look like you were having a ton of fun

[In_The_Wind]

171. I wish you a peaceful rest from your long night.

I met a few of the ladies on that thread last time I was in NYC. They are a great group!

[bigwillq]

173. Hey Clint!

Have a great day!

[bigwillq]

174. Here's my photo if you want to add it:
