1. you always catch me just as i am going to bed

...which i guess means that i am not a true nighthawk.

but i will say hello, just the same. :hi:

[Heidi]

2. Funny you should pop in, progmom!

I was just getting ready to post the first-ever, "Describe progmom's pajamas!" thread! :rofl:

Sweet dreams, friend. :hug:

[progmom]

3. ha ha ha ha ha ha

:thumbsup: :hug:

[BikeWriter]

12. Yeah, like she can sleep after that! LOL!

[Floogeldy]

4. Hi Heidi!

I hope all is going well for you and Mr. Heidi.

Thanks for promoting our night during your morning.

:)

[Heidi]

8. I have only one question for you, sir.

Where's our poem for the evening? Hmmmmm?

[Floogeldy]

27. I haven't worked on it, but since you ask . . .

. . . ahem.

When I look at Pat Robertson
I expect his ears to wiggle
Then I hear his words
And I can't help but giggle

Then I imagine him spitting fire
And puking his smelly evil innards
Prolly smells like a burning tire
Like the brains of his robot sinners

But, may God bless his soul
And shoot it to the bowels of hell
They'll know what to do with that hole
And there the fundies will jell

-----------------

Thank you! Thank you very much!


Luv, Floog

[Heidi]

33. I love it!

Especially the ". . . ahem" part!

:rofl:

[Floogeldy]

35. Well . . .

:blush:

[enigmatic]

5. Hey Heidi!

Our feed is down, and I'm getting pissed; I need a hug:)

[Heidi]

10. Come and get it, my friend.

6. I'm on dial up so I want to post while I can!

Hello! :hi:

[Heidi]

13. Hi, merh!

If you're still here when the thread starts getting long, we'll just start a new one. (We're crafty that way. ;) )

:hi:

[merh]

29. Why, thank you.

I doubt I will make it much longer - long day today and damn it, I have a boss that expects me to work tomorrow.

I do enjoy the Nighthawk threads! :hi:

[Reciprocity]

22. Me too, hi all!

If you get the chance to watch Jon Stwart's show tonight do so, it was great. I'm going to watch it again at the top of the hour.

[merh]

32. I'm trying to stay alert so that I can catch it.

Thanks for the reminder!

[murielm99]

7. I'm a nighthawk again!

Who knows how long it will last this time?

I love the night.

[Heidi]

14. Glad you're here, murielm99!

I love the night, too. :hi:

What a knockout you are...plus being one very talented and smart lady...

Here's a toast to the Nighthawks! :toast:

:hug:

[auntAgonist]

48. the letter would be nice ..

I'd be happy to hear from my son ...


:hug:

[Heidi]

51. I know what you mean, aA.

I'd be happy to hear from my mom, but she has a new grandson, and thus has become disinterested in her eldest daughter. :cry:

My pets thought they had chicken for dinner. The way they are still scampering into the kitchen, their only dismay is the empty dish.

[yvr girl]

26. Hi Nighthawks!

I haven't been up as late for the last little while. How are you all keeping?

i dont mind living away from home for the school year... but i hate packing.

[Heidi]

80. You'll still

:hug:

[LastKnight]

82. 8 am classes

but ill sure try, this may be my last nighthawks thread for awhile. at least for a few days until im settled in again.

[enigmatic]

81. Hey bro

Packing's almost done, so relax and spend some quality time w/ us:)

[LastKnight]

84. actuially im

gonna do most of it tonight. lol. but ill be checking DU the whole time i do it.

[texanwitch]

86. Hello Heidi

I am staying up all night and going to Crawford in the morning, it is going to be so hot. Blow some cool air down this way.

[Heidi]

87. Hi, texanwitch!

Safe travels to Crawford tomorrow! I'll send you good vibes and cool breezes (it's raining here this morning).

Will you post photos or an update when you return from Crawford?

:hug:

[texanwitch]

92. I will try, everytime I try to post I do something wrong. I feel stupid.

I am going to learn how to post pictures, just which century I figure how I don't know.

I am going on a bus so it will be fun, we are leaving a 7 am so I need to be there around 6:15, so I just didn't see the point of trying to get any sleep.

I didn't think I was going to get to Crawford, but I managed to get a few days off. It is a very long drive there for just one day but I will take what I can get.

I would love to camp out for the weekend but it's not possible. I would love to see the night sky away from the city lights, it as been a long time.

Buses from seveal Texas cities are coming also so the day will be fun.

[drfresh]

88. I've seen this picture like 6 times now

WTF is going on?
/drunk

[Heidi]

89. Huh.

:toast:

[drfresh]

90. I'm a DU lounge lurker.

I'm still trying to figure out how ya'll function.

[Wapsie B]

91. We meet again dear Heidi!

Hope your day has gone well.

:hug:

[Heidi]

93. Hi, my friend . . .

Rainy Saturday morning. How're you? :hug:

[Wapsie B]

94. I'm good my friend.

Slowly getting tired.

OMG. Those pics of yours are breathtaking.

[Heidi]

95. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo to my Nighthawks! (nt)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

96. My dear Heidi!

It is most excellent to see you, gf! How's it going for you? Is it still raining?

You have the most wonderful views from your place...I'm jealous!

Come visit my thread on my funny after-dinner episode, if you like...


:pals: :loveya:

[Heidi]

98. And here's your hug:

:hug:

I will, indeed, visit your thread. :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

97. Present and otherwise accounted for!

Hi Heidi!

How are the cats?

[Heidi]

99. Hello, sunshine!

The Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger is sleeping, and it's cool enough this morning that I have the windows and doors closed, so _no visiting cats_ and _NO CAT RODEO_ this morning!

How are ya, KW?

[KitchenWitch]

100. not bad

KWDaughter's asthma is acting up, so it will be a long night, but otherwise all is well.

[Heidi]

101. I'll send KitchenWitchJuniorette

some good vibes. My little brother grew up with asthma, and when he couldn't sleep for the wheezing, none of us could sleep. Hopefully, your daughter will outgrow it. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

102. I actually think she is starting to

thank the gods!

and thanks for the hug! :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

103. Hello Heidi!

:hi:

[Heidi]

104. Mornin', sunshine!

Here, have a hug, bushwentawol! :hug:

[Wapsie B]

105. Morning Heidi!

Have a hug yourself. :hug:

:)

[Heidi]

106. Thanks, my friend.

We Nighthawks are hug-o-riffic, aren't we? ;)

[Wapsie B]

107. Yes we are.

There's plenty more where that came from. :)

[Heidi]

108. It's a Hug-O-Rama!

And you're the only one who showed up for it, but that's good enough for me. :)


Watercolor on handmade paper, 1999

[Wapsie B]

109. It's good enough for me too.

:)

[enigmatic]

110. Hey!

Loooong day for us; saw a band in the sfternoon that we're playing on the station, and we just got back from a local wrestling show.

I'm trying to catch up w/ the news today; been out of the loop..

[Heidi]

111. I was wondering where you were, young man!

:hug: Glad you're here, my friend. :grouphug:

[enigmatic]

112. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

Missed my bro Wetzel I see; I'll E him and see what's up in the college life:)

This is the band we saw; a great bunch of guys, and I'm very happy to play them on the station:

http://www.thewheatpool.com/

I'm watching the WLWT feed for Hurricane Katrina; this is going to be very, very bad..

[Heidi]

113. Wow, thanks for that link, enigmatic.

I just listened to "Whyte Avenue" and loved it. They remind me a little of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Lovely.

:thumbsup:

[enigmatic]

114. Very much alt-country

Uncle Tupelo, Richmond Fontaine, Son Volt etc, but w/ a distinctly Canadian feel to it. Great stuff:)

[enigmatic]

115. And Whyte Avenue

Is the main University/funky drag in Edmonton; we actually saw them play in a tavern on Whyte Avenue today :)

[Heidi]

116. The reason I chose that song to listen to

is because one of the greatest times of my life was spent in Key West, Fla., hanging around on White Street Pier. :hi:

[enigmatic]

117. Emily Carr is a good one, too

They are supposed to send me a live tape of a show they did last month; I'll send it on to you when I get it:)

I'm about to fall over, Goodnight Heidi:hug:

[Heidi]

118. Sweet dreams, my friend.

:hug:

[progmom]

119. checking in.

progspawn has been awake for an hour now. his fever is back. i just handed him off to progdad and am heading back to bed. :(

[Heidi]

120. Sweet dreams, darlin' . . .

I hope your little one feels better tomorrow, and that all of you can get some rest. :hug:

[progmom]

121. he's very sweet when he's in that land between awake and sleep

he was just saying to me: "do you know who my favorite person is? my favorite person in the whole world? you are." :swoon: that'll make up for a sleepless night. :)

[AVulgarianHue]

122. Hiya! Peeking in until....

the browser freezes, or shuts down, or network gets jammed, or.....
until the whiskey kicks in.
:smoke:

Kitchenwitch inspired me to get tight. :toast:

[Heidi]

123. Hi, AVH!

Glad you're here!

:toast:

[billyskank]

124. Hi!

:hi:

[Heidi]

125. Oh, someone slept late today!

:hi: billy! :hug:

[billyskank]

126. I missed you!

I've been offline for a couple of days. :hug:

[Heidi]

127. Why, thank you!

Glad you're back, billy. :hi:
