Whatever happened to "The Nighthawks?"

[auntAgonist]

I used to enjoy that.

:shrug:

I'm off to bed, not much of a nighthawk tonight.

1. My dear auntAgonist....

I believe Heidi stopped writing them after she became a mod...:shrug:

I miss them as well....they were truly a coming-together place for us night owls...

Sweetest of dreams!

:loveya:

[billyskank]

2. She stopped before she became a mod

She doesn't have time any more.

Sigh. Breakfast sucks without a nighthawks thread. :cry:

[Heidi]

4. Yep,

it was before I became a Mod.

Here, have some luvin' with your breakfast, my friend. :loveya: :hug: :* :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hey Heidi!

How's it goin'?

[Heidi]

9. Tired, but OK, SeattleGirl.

Ginger has decided he's a macho man, so CMW and I now have to stay up about two hours later every night (morning, actually) to keep him from attacking our neighbor's cat, Leo. :eyes:

How're you, my friend? :hug: :loveya: Do you think we could talk the Girls Band into livening up this thread a little? Please, please, please?????????

[SeattleGirl]

32. Dang it, the Naughty Girls are MIA!!!!

:cry:

[Heidi]

35. They probably lost faith in me,

after not having a Nighthawks gig in months. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

37. Nah. They are just Naughty Girls who go their own way sometimes.

I'll find 'em eventually, I promise.

[RevCheesehead]

44. Did I hear someone call me?

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

45. Calling you AND Binky!

:hug:

I've missed you, gf, and Ginger has missed his Aunt Ruth. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Heidi!

:hug: Binky's doing even better tonight! She sat and watched TV with me, and when I fell asleep on the sofa, she stayed right next to me on the floor. Small steps, but I'm more convinced that she's gonna pull through all this. :bounce::bounce:

Hi, Ginger! :hi:

[Heidi]

49. We've been praying for her, Rev.

Isn't it sweet when they snuggle right up next to us? :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. How much I miss you, my dear Heidi.....

I remember saying....."Late nights in the Lounge...I love it here."

:cry:

I remember those innocent days last year.....

And now they're gone forever.....*sigh*

But you're still here...and that is cause for rejoicing! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

14. Thank you, Peggy.

I miss you, too. :hug:

I think we'll just hijack Kesha's thread here and turn it into a Nighthawks thread. What say you? :loveya: :*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. What a terrific idea!

I don't even remember what number we're up to now!

But that doesn't matter!

Hijack away, sweetie!

:* :loveya:

[Heidi]

33. This would be Nighthawks 62.

The last one was Nighthawks 61, started on April 6 by that hunka-hunka-burnin-luv, MadAsHellNewYorker. ;)

[billyskank]

24. !!!!!

:hug: :loveya:


:*

:hi: :D

[Heidi]

26. *Swoon*

I been *smooched*.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[billyskank]

41. Heidi, you are *so* smooched

:D

[auntAgonist]

54. hi Heidi

I miss you too!

:loveya:

Don't hear from you anymore.

:hug:

aA

[Heidi]

55. There you are!

I miss you, too, kesha! :hug: :loveya:

You always are welcome to email and PM me, my friend. I've wondered how your health is, how your grandbaby is doing and how your daughter-in-law is. I can't blame my absence on being a Mod. My work has taken off like crazy since the first of the year, and unfortunately, I now am working "Swiss hours" in consideration of painting and consulting clients' schedules. x(

Do you hate us for turning your thread into a Nighthawks thread? I thought you wouldn't mind too much. :hug: :loveya:

[auntAgonist]

56. OH I didn't mind at all ....

it was fun to come here this day and see all the people chatting. I'm doing quite well, feeling good and have energy again! Ella is adorable, growing like a weed. Ashley is feeling good too, the e-coli seems to be on it's way out and she's getting around just fine these days.
I do miss you and have thought about sending you email a couple of times, but i know you're busy.
I'm going in for some surgery on the 12th of July to repair an abdominal hernia and to get rid of some adhesions, should be a simple operation.

:loveya: Heidi, say hi to that handsome dude of a husband of yours. :)


kesha

[u4ic]

5. Oh my!

It's early afternoon.

Time to turn in. :rofl:

[Heidi]

11. Don't go to bed!

The fun might just be starting! :hug:

[u4ic]

31. Hi Heidi!

I have some meds kicking in now, hopefully I've got another 5 minutes...

This time is my favourite time on DU - but I have to have a good sleep for my dental :scared: :scared: :scared: appointment tomorrow.

I don't like them. :cry: I'm an utter child when it comes to dentists and puking. (hopefully not at the same time)

The dentist is hot, so that's a plus. :D

[Heidi]

34. Ooooooooo, I'll send good vibes for your dental appointment,

sweetie. I'm not a big fan of dental appointments, although I _do_ love getting my teeth cleaned! :hug:

[u4ic]

38. Thanks, luv!

I appreciate it. I'm having my teeth cleaned, too.

It's right near a picturesque area of town, perhaps I should bring my camera and as a reward, go down to the river to take some shots.

OK, there's my plan.
My other one is not to cry when I walk in the dentist's office. :rofl:

[billyskank]

25. Hi u4ic!

:loveya:

[u4ic]

28. Hello billyboy!

:loveya:

Rainy, again?

[billyskank]

40. No, it's nice today

:D

[auntAgonist]

53. thanks Peggy!

:loveya: You're the only one that said hi me :( :cry:

ah well, at least folks came together and chatted a bit. I do miss the nighthawks, and I miss Heidi.

aA
:grouphug:

[Ptah]

3. Ah, those were the days, er nights.

We were all so young then.

[Heidi]

7. Ptah!

:hug:

Please use the _official_ Nighthawks image, which includes jobycom's cat, Millie; bridgit's sweet boy cat, Tim; the Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, and Ginger's ever-hungry brother, Barley! :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. W00t!

I much prefer the one with the cats and the skanky wimmens. :thumbsup:

[Heidi]

17. Um, those "skanky wimmens"

are CMW's artistic renders of California Peggy and me, mister! :rofl:

How ya been, Oedi? :loveya: :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Like I said

:P




:hide:

[Heidi]

21. Don't make me stop this car, young man.

:rofl:

Geez, I've missed you! :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. You've missed me because

you remember all the times you looked in the back seat and I was sleepin' and so precious.




When I was awake, you were thinkin' about retroactive birth control. x(

[Heidi]

39. Okay, we're back to me being shallow.

I'm so busted. What I really missed were your wrists. OK? There. I've said it. :evilgrin:

(Bless your little hoart.)

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. And since I'm just a gigolo

(first syllable pronounced "gig," a la Danny Partridge)...





:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

43. Oh, my.

I believe I'll need to step outside for smoke in order to calm down now. :blush:

[Ptah]

12. We were all sitting there, waiting for your return.

I'd like to say that the Un-sink woohoos missed your gathering.

Good to see you even if it's for a short reunion.

:hi:

[Heidi]

18. Were ya keepin' my seat warm, Ptah?

Cuz it _feels_ warm. :rofl:

I love the unsinchronized woohoos. They remind me of myself in high school marching band. :spray:

[Ptah]

22. Everything here in Tucson is warm.

Here I am,



Here's the sun,



:hi:

[Heidi]

23. _Gorgeous_ sunflowers!

And you have a lovely smile, mister. :hug:

[Ptah]

27. That was the morning after I learned that

my dear neighbor Peggy got some good news.

Easy to smile.

And thanks.

:hug:

[Heidi]

29. That was some news to truly celebrate, I agree.

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Indeed, my dear Ptah....

We were all younger then...

And not just in terms of age...

But also in terms of knowledge, and of innocence....:hug:

[Ptah]

15. We gotta start somewhere.

:hug:

[JVS]

16. here is a cheap substitute

[Heidi]

19. Blasphemy!

:rofl:

Hey, JVS! :hug:

[texanwitch]

46. Hello everyone,

I have been busy at work, having lunch now.

My company hired new people and gave all the stupid ones to me to train.

They don't know their ABC's and can't count to 25 at the same time.

I want a nice cold beer.:argh: :beer:

[Heidi]

47. Hi, texanwitch!

How many hours until you get to go home? :hug: :loveya:

[texanwitch]

50. I have to stay until 8 which means I have 3 more hours to go after lunch.

I want to go home now, I am tired of the stupid people here.

If I told you to go to row 22 box b, could you find it. Row 22 is between row 21 and 23, and you might find box b between a and c.
:mad:

[Heidi]

51. Yeah, I think I could probably do that.

You have my sympathy, gf. :hug:

[texanwitch]

52. These kids did go to high school, they told me so.

I don't know how they found their way to classes.

:shrug:

[khashka]

57. Heidi's been busy

We're all hoping for the day her mod duties end, so she'll have more time to amuse us again.

Khash.
