Good Wednesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:hi::donut:
Welcome to the Hump Day edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: How are you this morning, my crew? I hope your Tuesday was a good day. It was a long one for me and seemed to fairly drag on for some reason. And now, suddenly, here we are at Wednesday!

I really must take the day today and get this place cleaned up. One would think a tornado moved in with us as much stuff is scattered around here! :rofl: That and laundry. Must do laundry today too if I want to wear clothes for the rest of the week. I guess I COULD go around in only underwear, but it would only be a matter of time before the police picked me up for indecent exposure. :rofl: So laundry is on the list too. Sounds like a great way to spend a vacation day, huh? :rofl:

It's time to rise and shine, my crew! Are you ready to get this day started? Well let's get it on!

Song Of The Day: "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen

2. Morning Clint!....

...at least you are getting to think about some domestic chores now. Usually, you are work, work, work, work! It's good to be off sometimes!...:toast:

[Clintmax]

3. Good Morning, Robeson!

:hi:
Yes, I am aren't I! Work, work, work. Seems like that's all I do. You're right...it's good to be off sometimes! :bounce: Hows things going in your world?

[Robeson]

11. It's going pretty good....

...but with the time you have off, it ain't about me. Enjoy yourself, take it easy, and even do your chores in your own time...:thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

14. That's good to hear!

Oh, I'm going to take my time today. Put the TV on CMT and watch videos while I'm working! :bounce:

[Robeson]

18. Hey, two of my best friends do video editing at CMT. I'll let them know..

...you are watching!...:bounce:

[Clintmax]

23. Yeah? That would be great, Man!

Thank you SO much! :bounce: I've been a fan of Country Music Television for a long time!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. I am not in the early morning crew but good morning anyway :)

[Clintmax]

6. Good Morning, CarolinaP!

:hi:
You don't have to be in the crew to say Good Morning to us! Then again, you COULD join the crew! Good morning to you too! :hi:

[Guy Fawkes]

5. So, what time is it for you?

[Clintmax]

7. Good Morning, Guy F!

:hi:
Well, right now it's 5:39AM. What time is it for YOU?

[Guy Fawkes]

8. 4:40 AM

And the birds are singing for me to go to sleep.

[Clintmax]

9. Ah. Haven't been to bad yet, huh?

I can't stay up like that myself. I've been an early riser since Junior High when I had to be at school at 7 am.

[Guy Fawkes]

12. I've been going to bed...

with the birds for the last few days. When they start chirping, I start snoring.

(And with this post, I am totally going to sleep! Goodnight!)

[Clintmax]

15. Have a good sleep, GuyF!

Sweet dreams, Man! :hi: Thanks for stopping in this morning!

[billyskank]

10. All hail Clinticles the Magnificent!

:D

Morning Clint! :hi:

[Clintmax]

13. LOL! Good Morning, Billy!

"Clinticles the Magnificent" :rofl: Dude, you crack me up sometimes! How's your day so far?

[billyskank]

20. Thing are going pretty ok here

How about you?

[Clintmax]

22. Doing just fine here too, Man!

Having some coffee and waking up.

[tjwmason]

27. Morning billy.

:hi:

[billyskank]

35. Morning, mason

:hi:

[tjwmason]

45. How's tricks in Bedfordshire today?

[billyskank]

49. Not so bad

The weather here is blustery with the sun peeping through at times.

The garage sucked all the money out of my wallet yesterday. x(

How are things with you?

[tjwmason]

58. Things are tickety boo round here.

:D

Though I am doing my usual trick of half falling asleep on the desk :eyes:

Sorry to hear about the garage - they do seem to be like that.

[AirmensMom]

40. Good morning billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

44. Hi there AirmensMom!

:hi: Nice to see you. :loveya: :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

19. Good Morning, Starbucks!

:hi:
It's good to see you, Man! Anything exciting been going on the past couple of days?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Two more days left of work.

Other than that, nothing much. :D

[Clintmax]

32. Well that's enough!

Two days remaining! :bounce: That's exciting! :bounce::woohoo:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

39. Yep!

Still gotta pack, though. :(

I also have to move some heavy stuff this weekend.

[Clintmax]

50. Yeah. The packing thing is the yucky part.

I hate that. x( Good luck getting everything done, Man.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

54. Thanks.

Though I was slightly relieved just now. A semi-large box that was in my apartment turned out to just be full of discarded mail and newspapers, so that's less stuff to put in my car.

:D

[Clintmax]

61. That's good!

Do you have a paper shredder? Don't put anything in the trash with your name and address on it until you shred it to hells! :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

74. No, my hands seem to do the work.

:D

[Clintmax]

76. That's the next best thing.

Tear that shit up! :bounce::rofl:

[sbj405]

17. Good Morning.

I'm ok. Tired this am. I was at the ER most of last night with a friend that broke her wrist.

[Clintmax]

21. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi::hug:
Awww...I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she's doing OK now. Breaking your wrist has GOT to hurt like hells. It was sweet of you to stay with her! :hug:

[sbj405]

24. Yep. She'll be ok.

Lots of pain meds and a cast. :-(

[Clintmax]

26. I'm sure.

I'm glad to hear she'll be okay. How everything other than that?

[tjwmason]

25. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Splendid to see you this fine morning.

I have to disagree with your assesment - you walking round in your underwear would not be indecent exposure, it would be most decent exposure. ;)

Hope that you manage to get motivated to clear up - my place is always in a terrible state...

I'm listening to some Gesualdo motets - a most odd composer indeed - at the moment O vos omnes.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

30. Good Morning, TJ!

:hi::hug:
It's splendid to see you this fine morning as well! :loveya: Me only in underwear might be a good thing to YOU but I have a feeling the police won't think so. :rofl: I think I'll be motivated to get this place picked up...I can't stand it when it's this way.

I've never heard of Gesualdo. Is he a contemporary composer?

[tjwmason]

42. I fear that you're right,

and we certainly don't want you getting into trouble. :loveya:

Gesualdo was around at the end of the 16th century. He was driven insane after he found his wife in bed with another man and killed both of them immediately by driving his sword though them both. The interesting point about him is that he was a Prince (of a small part of Italy) and thus had his own money, and so he didn't have to keep a patron happy and could write whatever music he wanted to - which means that many of his harmonic structures wouldn't be used again until the 20th century.

[Clintmax]

52. Wow. That's quite a story.

Interesting. But you said it was weird music...

[tjwmason]

65. It pushes very strongly against the edges of tonality.

Oh - yesterday, for the first time, I saw and heard Ann Coulter on television...she was interviewed on Newsnight ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight ) and she was utterly clueless and could barely even make out words in response to the interviewer. :eyes:

[Clintmax]

67. LOL! Yeah, she's a mess isn't she?

Reminds me of someone else who can't make out words in response to the interviewer, who shall remain nameless but whose initials are George W. Bush. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

70. I would say

at least our elected leaders can speak properly - but when one looks at Blair, he may be able to speak with the best of them...but it doesn't really push him up much in my estimation. :eyes:

[Clintmax]

72. Bushlet can't.

Blair...I don't know about him. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

77. The less you know about Blair the better.

Such is my view at least...

He is indeed an excellent speaker - like many of our politicians he was a barrister before entering Parliament, and so had to be able to speak well - then to get anywhere in the Commons a person pretty much has to be good at speaking...that he's a pathological liar is a bit of a downer on him in my view...

[Clintmax]

79. Yes, in my view as well.

I wish Bushlet had had to be a lawyer or SOMETHING so he could at least speak proper english. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

29. Good morning Clint!

LOL, you probably should do your laundry. We can't have you posting from the Big House.






OMFSM! "Radio Ga Ga" I was one of the few people who liked that song when it came out. Everybody I knew hated it but I loved it.

[Clintmax]

31. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I know...and I don't WANT to be posting from the Big House. I have a boyfriend already, thank you! :rofl: Hey, I loved Radio Ga Ga too...but I knew several people who really liked it as well. It's fun to think of songs like that, you know it?

[NMMNG]

37. LOL

But don't you want to be somebody elses you-know-what?

Ahhh, I have tonight off!

[Clintmax]

55. YAY! Well good for you!

I'm SO happy to hear that, my dear! You certainly deserve it! And no...I don't want to be anyone else's you-know-what! :scared:

[In_The_Wind]

33. Happy Hump Day!

Funny! I just sent a text message saying the very same thing!

I'm glad to see you are keeping busy this week. Do you have any new pictures to share with us?

[Clintmax]

34. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
It's funny how we think along the same lines, huh? :rofl: No, I haven't had a chance to take any new ones yet. It's been a crazy time the past few days. But, I DO plan to take some more, hopefully today, so they are forthcoming! :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

43. It's been a crazy for lots of us lately!

Do you think it's something in the air?

I hope your crazy time hasn't driven you plum bonkers.

[Clintmax]

57. No, not yet anyways!

:rofl:
It could be something in the air! What moon phase are we in now? :shrug::rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

68. Life's a mystery to me sometimes.

I don't think that it's the moon because we are between the Last Quarter 6 / 18 and the New Moon 6 / 25. :shrug:


yeah it must be something in the air

[Clintmax]

69. Yes, but what?

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

81. pollen

mixed with pheromones

It's hard to think when ya can't breath.

[Clintmax]

83. Yes, I guess so.

:rofl:

[billyskank]

36. Hi Joanee!

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

46. BILLY!

:loveya:

[billyskank]

51. ...

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

53. Have you been missing from DU lately?

or is it just me?

[billyskank]

56. I have lost my posting mojo

I just don't do it anywhere near as much as I used to.

[In_The_Wind]

60. me too

I wonder why?

[billyskank]

73. For myself, I have an idea

if you want to check your PM. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

82. me too

sorry if this is getting redundant
check your PM

[Clintmax]

85. LOL! That's an hilarious smilie!

:rofl::rofl:
I want it! I want it!

[In_The_Wind]

87. You are welcome to snag it and reuse whenever necessary.

It fits this week perfectly!

[Clintmax]

89. Yeah, no kidding!

I laughed my ass off when I saw it! Pulled for future use, thank you! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

41. Joani!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

It's good to see you!

[In_The_Wind]

48. I was just thinking about you yesterday.

How is the unpacking going?
I need to get your new address. There are Road Trips to plan!

[AirmensMom]

64. I'm just about as unpacked as I'm going to get.

We're not even unpacking our dishes ... just using paper plates. But things are pretty well organized and looking good.

I'll PM my new address and phone number. You still have a few months left. It'll be SO good to see you again! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

38. Good morning, Clintmax?

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Bring your laundry over and I'll do it for you. :loveya: Hey, aren't you going to Orlando one of these days? That sounds like a lot more fun than laundry! :rofl:

I painted for 15 hours yesterday, with just a short break for supper. I was too tired to sleep last night. It's all done except for part of the ceiling in the kitchen b/c I ran out of paint. It sure is looking nice, though. If I didn't have so much paperwork to do, I'd take a break today ... might still have time for that after the paperwork.

Harleydad is coming back in a few weeks, but only for a week. His managers are being stupid about this whole thing. And he's not doing too well. He misses me and the kitties and sounds generally down. I'm worried about him. :cry:

[Clintmax]

47. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
You'd really do that for me?? What a sweetie! :loveya: Thank you for the thought, my dear. You painted for 15 HOURS yesterday??? All by yourself? Wow, I didn't realize you still had that to do. I think you deserve a break today! I wish you COULD take today off.

I'm sorry to hear about Mister Harley. :hug: Why do managers have to be dickheads like that sometimes? :shrug: I just don't understand it. I could never be that way. I hope they change their minds. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

62. I surely would.

And I'd hang it out on the line for you, too. :loveya:

Yep, it was a long day. I thought it would be a quickie b/c the kitchen and dining area aren't that big. But it's a lot of trim work getting around the cabinets. I couldn't pull the refrigerator out ... I didn't even know they made them without wheels, but I think this one was made before wheels were invented. And I was afraid to pull the stove out. That can wait till harleydad gets home. Or maybe I'll ask the maintenance man to do it -- let it be his problem if he damages the floor.

I don't know why managers are dickheads like that. Originally, they promised that he could telecommute from here. Then they pulled the plug on that AFTER we bought land and put the house on the market. No way did we ever expect to be away from each other for so long. And the strange thing is that his manager lives in Wisconsin and works from there. So why can't harleydad work from here? I wish you were his manager. At least you have a heart. :hug: We have a big anniversary and I have a big birthday this year (both ending in 0) and I'm afraid we'll have to spend them apart. :cry: I hope they change their minds, too. *sniff* Thanks for the hugs. :hug:

[Clintmax]

66. Oooo...I'd love to have line dried clothes again!

:bounce: I don't blame you about moving the refridgerator and stove. You can damage the hells out of a floor that way. Leave it go, says I! :rofl: Oh, no. I'm sorry you've got some big dates coming up and you might have to spend them alone. I'LL be here with you if Mister Harley can't be. :hug::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

71. Well, then, c'mon up and bring that laundry!

:bounce:

Thanks. :hug: And I'm sure harleykid will come over. But it's just not the same ... I mean, usually the couple spends a wedding anniversary with each other. :shrug: I'm hoping we have things worked out by then.

Joani and MissHC will be here just before my birthday. Say, where is MissHC today?

[Clintmax]

75. I was just wondering the same thing.

Haven't seen her yet. :shrug: Maybe she's in a meeting or something.

Tony is wanting a LOT of attention this morning! He's got a stuffed duck toy and keeps bringing to me to throw so he can go fetch it. :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

78. Tony should come over and play with Satchmo.

I have the door closed so he can't bother me right now. He woke me up by throwing things off the bathtub. x( Now he wants second breakfast (as if he usually gets that).

Maybe MissHC had a hot date! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

80. Tony sleeps with Greekspeak and I...

and he never makes a sound until the alarm goes off. He won't let me hit the snooze more than one time. :rofl: Otherwise, he sleeps just as long as I do! Now he's sitting on his hind legs with both paws on my right arm just looking at me like; "Don't you see me here, Daddy! I wanna play! Pay attention to me!" :rofl::rofl:

[AirmensMom]

84. Ah, dogs ...

Is he wagging his tail? You'd better play with him. He is still a puppy, after all! :rofl:

I should get myself going. Honestly, I feel like I could go back to bed. I hope you have a good day. I'll be looking out the window for you and your laundry to drive up. :rofl:

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

86. Yes, he is.

He's so damned cute. It would be so good to drive up into your driveway like that, my dear! I wish I could! Do you have to go right away? :cry:

[Callalily]

90. Morning AirmensMom

How sad if you'd have to spend your anniversary and your big birthday without Harleydad. I too think that I'd be crying. Maybe his manager will come around.

[Minnesota Libra]

59. Good Morning, it's Hump Day, everything gets better from here........

....:bounce: because we're headed for the weekend.:bounce:

Clintmax, I understand the laundry thing all too well. Take solace in the fact that we will all be sympathizing with you and hoping all goes smooth and quick.:hug:

:grouphug: Everyone have a good day:grouphug:

[Clintmax]

63. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
Yes, it only gets better from here! :bounce: It's always a pleasure to see your positive self here every day! :bounce: Thank you for the good wishes! :hi: I hope you have a great day too!

[Callalily]

88. Morning Clint!

Not exactly hump day for me. We're on summer hours now, which means we get to work 4-9 hour days, but get to leave at noon on Friday. I decided to burn 4 vacation hours, so I get a nice three-day weekend. Yippee! I'm not feeling just too ambitious at work lately, think I must be a little burned out. But I must focus :rofl:

Laundry's a never ending chore. It's something I do every weekend. Do you do any ironing? I think I'm about the only one left on the plant who does it. There's certain things of mine that I just just so .

[Clintmax]

91. Good Morning, Miss SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you get to have a three day weekend this time! :bounce: It's good that you can do that! I get burned out sometimes too and so I take vacation when I do! :rofl: Yes, I do do some ironing! I have a couple of short sleeved shirts that the cuffs on the shirt get all rolled up in the wash and will NOT unroll and so have to be ironed. I just don't understand that. :shrug:

[Callalily]

99. Which reminds

me. I want to wear a certain shirt tomorrow to work, and it needs ironing. Hmmmm, a chore for tonight!

I best be getting my travel mug ready and head out of here. You have a great day, and be sure to set aside some time for some fun things.

[Clintmax]

100. I sure will, my dear!

I hope you have a great day too! Don't work too hard! Talk to you in the morning! :bounce::hug::loveya::hi:

[riona]

92. Fl check-in

Housework? Don't you hate it when the maid is on vacation?

[Clintmax]

94. Good Morning, Miss Flblu!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I DO! :rofl: And so now I have to do it all myself! x(

[Cannikin]

93. Hi gang. Gotta run. Supposed to be at work in 40 minutes!

I hate going in early!

[Clintmax]

95. Good Morning, Cannikin!

:hi:
Yes, it sucks when we have to do that! Have a good day, Buddy! :bounce::hi:

[tjwmason]

97. Good morning - sorry to miss you.

Have a great day. :hi: :hug:

[newyawker99]

96. Good morning everyone!

:donut:



:hi:

[Clintmax]

98. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
I hope you're having a splendid week so far! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

101. Time to get going, My Crew!

I hope you have a good day at work and I'll see you here in the morning! Take care of each other! :grouphug:

Clint

[tjwmason]

102. Have a great day Clint.

See you tomorrow. :hug: :loveya:
