How's everybody doing tonight?

[SeattleGirl]

I'm doing well. Started out really cloudy and rainy here, but it turned into a beautiful afternoon and evening. Got a couple of things done at work that I really needed to get done (yay!).

Now I'm kicked back, watching the Mariners/Red Sox game, and cruising around DU.

How about you? :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

1. Pissed.

I have to be at work in a 1/2 hour. :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Ugh. My workweek just ended.

Hope you have an easy night, Fox.

[LeftyMom]

2. I can talk now.

My voice still isn't quite 100% but it's really only an issue if I'm singing.

flvegan got the present I sent him.

I got an A in my summer class.

All in all I've had a pretty good week.

[SeattleGirl]

4. I must have missed something. What happened to your voice?

Glad it's coming back though.

Does sound like you had a pretty good week, and congrats on that A!

[LeftyMom]

9. I lost it at that concert last week.

I actually had a high enough grade in Astronomy that I would have had an A- even if I didn't attempt the final. I'm pretty excited about that. :)

[SeattleGirl]

11. Oh that's right! I remember you posting about the concert.

Really nice about the Astronomy class!

[1gobluedem]

5. I'm great!

Heading for your area of the country tomorrow morning. My sister lives in Seattle; we are heading for the San Juans (BIL has a family house on Lopez), then the Olympic Peninsula, the start of our Betty McDonald tour, then we meet our internet book club in Portland.

Can't wait! It's been a hot, humid summer in Michigan. And dry. I packed things with long sleeves!

[SeattleGirl]

6. Cool! I love the San Juans and the peninsula!

Beautiful places!

But make sure you pack some short sleeve things too. It's been rather warm here this summer!

Hope y'all have a great time!

[1gobluedem]

10. I did

But warm in SE Michigan (read HUMID) and warm in the Pacific Northwest are vastly different.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Don't I know it!

It can get humid here too, but your area is far worse for that! I would be a puddle on the floor for the whole summer in that much humidity.

[1gobluedem]

17. It can get nasty

I love Michigan but July and August....well, if I can't spend them entirely in the pool or on the beach, I can get grouchy.

But...the four seasons are worth it.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Yeah, sometimes I get tired of day after day of rain in the winter,

but I also get cranky if we go too long WIHTOUT any rain! :rofl:

[1gobluedem]

23. You need to meet my sister...she's the same way

And she's a DUer too!

[SeattleGirl]

24. She is?

What's her user name, if I may ask.

[1gobluedem]

25. She introduced me to DU

Her name is LisaM.

[SeattleGirl]

26. That's your sis?

Nice!

[1gobluedem]

28. Yep!

We are going to have FUN this week -- sister time!

All our time is booked this trip (our brother and SIL are coming too) but we will meet up with you next time if you're up for it.

[SeattleGirl]

29. I'd definitely be up for that on your next visit!

I get to meet another DUer next week, when she comes to town.

I love meeting other DUers!

[1gobluedem]

31. DUers are the best -- ab-so-lute-ly

But, if I don't go to bed now, I'm going to be very cranky. I need to leave for the airport at 7a.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Doing great.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

13. SA!

Nice to hear that! :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. Yep, I'm going to actually wake up early tomorrow.

I need to go to the library and post office tomorrow, read, and get some writing done.

My life is truly exciting. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

21. That's more exciting than what I have planned: cleaning the house!

Ugh!

Wanna trade places?
:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. Actually, I have to clean, too.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Oh no.

:rofl:

[Kajsa]

8. Hi Seattlegirl!

I had a pretty good week.

Today, both my son and I were off work so we went down to
beach. It was beautiful, and the water is warm ( 70 degrees +)
for SoCal.

I'm going to cruise around DU and relax tonight.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Sounds like a wonderful day!

Nice that both you and your son had a day off together! :hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

14. Doing better than I was...

DU'ers came through again.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6796282

[SeattleGirl]

16. Oh honey, I'm so sorry you're going through this, but glad you are

feeling a little better tonight.

And yeah, DUers really know how to lift us up when we need it, don't they?

:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

19. Hopefully the drama's behind me...

...knock on wood, and all that. :hi::hug:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Hope so too.

It may be a roller coaster for awhile, but I KNOW you will get through it!

[Fire Walk With Me]

27. Anticipating vast lifestyle alteration.

[SeattleGirl]

30. Glad it's something you are anticipating!

:hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. Oh yes, with open arms

;-)

[otherlander]

32. I was going to ride my bike to the park

but my stomach hurt
so I went to sleep instead.

Also I made a pie. :)

[SeattleGirl]

34. Pie!!!!

What kind of pie did you make?

Hope your stomach is better!

[otherlander]

41. My stomach is better, thanks.

:)
I made....





A PLUM PIE!!!!! :woohoo:
:bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

42. Ooooh, I bet it's tasty!

I have a plum tree in my yard, and also blackberries. MrSG made a plum/blackberry pie once that was really good!

[otherlander]

47. You have a plum tree?

Cool... I'm jealous!

And that does sound good.

[SeattleGirl]

51. Yup, I do.

And they are so incredibly delicious!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear SeattleGirl!

I'm pretty good tonight, sweetie...

Just had a yummy dinner plus dessert...:9

Watched the news...

And now I'm cruising DU!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

37. Hi ya, darlin' Peggy!

Glad you're having a good night! :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

38. About to go to sleep...

Went to bed at 3 am, up at 9...Me tired. But, we had a fantastic evening of sex, cuddling, drinking, and eating. :D

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

40. Glad you had such a great evening!

:hi:

Sleep well (which I bet you'll do!)

[Zomby Woof]

43. Watching the Dodgers and Diamondbacks

I enjoyed the recent series with the Mariners (my AL team) against Anaheim, especially Ichiro's throw to home plate. :D

It was Wappleriffic! :P Great to see Safeco in HD, with the train blasting!

[SeattleGirl]

44. Hey ZW! Glad you got to see the Mariners!

I'm watching them against the Red Sox right now. Score tied 4-4.

I really love how so many players on other teams WILL NOT RUN when Ichiro has the ball! It IS Wappleriffic!

[Zomby Woof]

53. When they came to Anaheim and L.A. last year

I saw them twice. Weird seeing them as the "away" team. The Angels-Mariners game went into 13 innings, and the M's won! Angels fans are so damn entitled and arrogant - they act like the 2002 World Series was just the other day. I loved wearing my Ichiro t-shirt. :D

I have been a Dodgers fan since I was a wee lad in the 70's, and didn't adopt the Mariners until I moved to Seattle in '88, while I was in college. I figured since there are two leagues, I can have two teams, lol.

No problem rooting against Anaheim (most Angelenos refuse to use the 'L.A.' in front of their name - they play in Orange County ferwapplersakes), but when the Mariners played the Dodgers, I was very close to neutral, lol. (The Dodgers won the game we went to)

[SeattleGirl]

55. Glad you got to see the games.

The Angels fans have nothing on the Red Sox fans for arrogance, though. Went to a game last year when they were hear, and they kept changing "Let's go Red Sox" so obnoxiously that the Mariners' fans had to boo them into silence. :grr:

BTW, where did you go to college here? UW? I went to Seattle University.

[Zomby Woof]

60. They were probably bandwagon fans

Didn't even know where Boston was on a map until they won.

One thing which made the '95 season so rewarding was that I suffered through all those BEAUTIFUL Seattle summer days in the freaking KINGDOME, rooting for the perennial sub-.500 underdogs. (Remember the SS Mariner cannon for home runs? LOL) I was a Lefebrve Believer!

My oh MY!

So many bandwagon fans as a result, I couldn't stand their blathering on TV. "I never followed baseball until they won!" :nuke:

I have a chunk of the Kingdome on one of my bookcases. :-)

CWU Wildcat here! It came down to either them or UW, but the reputation Central had as a teacher's college, plus the appeal of quiet rural living for a few years, won out. :D :beer:

[SeattleGirl]

63. Yeah, and they ALL come out of the woodwork when the Sox

are in town. :eyes:

I've been a baseball fan my whole life, but I confess I didn't pay a lot of attention to the Mariners when I moved here in '83. Was going through some bad stuff, plus I was working full time AND going to school full time. They were pretty much under my radar at that time.

I remember the first time I walked into Safeco Field, after seeing so many games at the Kingdome. When I walked up the stairs from the street to the main concourse, and saw the sun shining on a real grass field, I knew exactly how Dorothy felt when she landed in Oz!

I'm glad I went to SU; the classes are small, and the teaching is fabulous. I think I would have felt totally lost at UW, as the undergrad classes are so big.

Oh, and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Oregon Ducks football fan, so my family probably would have disowned me had I gone to UW! The BLEED Duck Green! :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

67. Small classes are the best

That was a key factor for me too. And no frats at Central. Although I took some summer classes at the UW a few years after graduation to maintain my credentials and those were nice and small. So I have a soft spot for the Huskies.

Not an Oregon fan, BUT my all-time favorite QB played for them - Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Fouts! :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

68. No frats at SU either, thank goodness.

Well, since you like Dan Fouts, I'll give you a pass! :P

[Zomby Woof]

69. Lifelong Chargers fan

San Diego native here!

Fouts and I share a birthday too. For Christmas 1980 I got an authentic Dan Fouts jersey... it was my "Red Ryder BB Gun" moment. Best present ever!

[SeattleGirl]

70. Hehe! Everyone needs one of those moments!

[EstimatedProphet]

45. Doing alright

I miss the Prophetess - sh's out of town. But I've got 3 days off baby!

[SeattleGirl]

46. Bit of a mixture of the good and the bad there.

Well, I hope you have a good three days, even if it's minus the Prophetess.

:hi:

[EstimatedProphet]

57. Yeah, she'll be back Monday

along with the Estimated Mother-In-Law of the Prophet for a couple weeks.

It's a short period of time. She left Monday. In the meantime I'm doing the male pig thing - hanging around watching TV and posting, smoking hookah, and inventing cocktails.

[SeattleGirl]

64. Estimated Mother-in-Law of the Prophet! That's a mouthful!

Well, just remember to clean the pig sty before your beautiful wife (and her mother) get home!

[EstimatedProphet]

71. Oh yeah, I will

Not going there

[SeattleGirl]

72. I bet! Hey, how is the Prophetesss doing in terms of her back?

I hope she's better now. I have back problems and they suck!

[EstimatedProphet]

73. Well, the original spot is fine now

Unfortunately now she's getting similar pains on the other side. We hope it won't end up with more back surgery.

[SeattleGirl]

74. Let's hope!

[Chan790]

48. Grrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!

*Housesitting...that means internet. I can't get it at home because they refuse to run wires up the mountain.

*Job interview Wednesday in NYC for one of the largest NPOs in the country.

*Drinking a fine Riesling which was free complments of the wine cellar.

* Putting on the Sox game now b/c I forgot it was on.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Wow, sounds like you're having a great evening!

Best to you on your interview!

[ZombieNixon]

49. Hot.

I have to leave for the airport at 3 AM.

[SeattleGirl]

52. Hey ZN!

Hope things cool off for you.

So are you going somewhere or returning from somewhere?

[ZombieNixon]

54. Returning to Chicago from NM.

I really hope the electricity's been turned on in my apartment. :P

[SeattleGirl]

56. That would be nice!

Have a safe trip!

[ZombieNixon]

59. No kidding...

Thanks. :)

[madrchsod]

58. better than last week

after two operations, battling an on going staph infection for the last three weeks i`m much better than last week.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Oh my! I'm so glad you're doing better. Hope you continue to

improve!

I got a staph infection in my chest shortly after I was born. I literally almost died several times from it.

[madrchsod]

66. thanks

mine was`t that bad...you were a tough little baby.....

[Bryn]

62. Mom is leaving tomorrow and will be gone for one whole week

Wheeeeeeee!! I moved in with her a year ago to look after her, but have regretted it since then. I miss living alone ... just me and my animals. Mom freaks out if I have a glass of wine. She's a fundie so that was my big mistake giving up my lovely home in S. Fla to move here. :hurts:

Mom got invited to go to Kenneth Copeland Convention in Texas by my fundie sister so off she goes in the morning and will be gone for ONE WHOLE WEEK. Yaaaayyyy

I am gonna buy a gallon of wine and cases of beer. :beer:

[SeattleGirl]

65. Salute!

Your's is definitely a case of blood being thicker than fundie-ism!

Have a great week! (Just don't forget to take the bottles out before mom gets home!)

[u4ic]

75. Cold

It's a cool night tonight; mid 50's F. I'm just trying to keep warm. Brrrrrrr...:scared:



I hope your team won! :loveya: :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

88. They did, and they are up 1-0 right now in tonight's game.

It's only the 3rd inning though.....

:loveya: :hi:

[idgiehkt]

76. I am watching a creepy movie

It's Juliette Lewis and William Hurt, too...I should have never started watching it but it is really intriguing. I am jumping at every sound. lol.

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

77. Is that The 4th Floor?

Is it on DvD or TV?

I never saw the ending of that movie.

[idgiehkt]

78. yep

apparently the boyfriend was behind it the whole time. The left loose ends, which I hate. But overall it was a pretty good movie. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

89. Never saw that one.

I remember being totally creeped out by Single White Female (I think that was it). A movie I couldn't watch again. :scared:

[Norrin Radd]

79. Pretty good.

[Norrin Radd]

because

[Norrin Radd]

81. I

[Norrin Radd]

82. am

[Norrin Radd]

[Norrin Radd]

84. Yay!

[SeattleGirl]

90. Good!

:hi:

[RedCappedBandit]

80. Pretty Good

Just Chillin.



..My brother seems to be having a "party" in my backyard, but I wasn't invited to partake in the festivities.. hence.. I'm in here on DU of course! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

91. He's having a party in your backyard, and he didn't invite you???

:wow:

Well, hope we're good for you to party with! :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

85. I am doing well

And headed to bed :)
Have a great evening

[SeattleGirl]

92. Sleep well!

:hi:

[Deja Q]

86. Accepting of reality. Then I drank some hard liquor.

The buzz didn't help any attempts to communicate with neurotypical human beings.

Oh well.

[SeattleGirl]

93. Maybe you should try communicating with neuro-Atypical humans.

Oh wait. You already are, because you're talking to us! :silly:

[Inchworm]

87. Doing super!

And I expect the night to get nothing but better as it goes along! ;)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

94. Good deal!

:hi:
