Nighthawks IV (Please don't post images here!)

[Heidi]

I'm excluding the regular Nighthawks painting here, to help the thread load more quickly for our friends on dial-up.

:hi: friends! :hug:

( If anyone wants to see the Nighthawks painting, go here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4022905&mesg_id=4022905 )

[enigmatic]

1. Ha!

I'm first for a change! I usually vclose the place down:)

[Heidi]

3. You get the first hug . . .

and the first coffee burp. Lucky you. :hug: :bounce:

[enigmatic]

9. I'm drinking coffee right now!

:rofl:

[alarcojon]

34. Hey E, glad you like the Cafe Tacuba

:thumbsup:

[Not_Giving_Up]

2. Thank you!

My dial up thanks you!

[Heidi]

4. You're welcome . . .

and I'm truly sorry the previous thread became so cumbersome. :hug:

[Not_Giving_Up]

7. By the time I saw it, it was already too huge

Maybe if Rita blows this trailer away, I'll move somewhere serviced by Time Warner and get Roadrunner.

5. Good evening to you my dear Heidi...or I should say....

Good morning!

I'm glad you're starting a new thread...they get bit unwieldy fast!


And I also think that this is an excellent thing for you to do....

It gives the Lounge a focus, someplace to gather and talk together that is reliable...



:loveya: :pals: to my special gf!

[Heidi]

10. You're pretty special yourself, gf.

I was hoping someone on dial-up would let me know at what number of posts the Nighthawks thread starts to slow them down, so that I could sort of keep an eye on when to start a "fresh one."

I'm glad to see in you better spirits, friend. You're much beloved here. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Thanks my dear Heidi...

Just having all my friends here to talk to is so much help, I can hardly tell you...

Do you have any Instant Messaging capability? I might like to talk with you sometime.......

:pals:

[enigmatic]

25. Hey Peggy!

:hug:

I sw your thread earlier today and I was going to post on it, but I was literally on my way out the door. Anyway, I'm glad you're spirits are up:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thank you so much, my dear enigmatic...

Nothing like having my friends helping me get over heartache...

Blessings on you for your support...:loveya:

[Az]

6. In all the cybergin joints in all the net

I walked into her's.

:hi:

[Heidi]

12. Too funny, Az.

:hi: Glad you found us. :)

[Dave Reynolds]

8. Hi Heidi,

I am a sporadic Nighthawk, I guess.

[Heidi]

13. Hi, Dave . . .

Sporadic works for me. How are you? :hi:

[Dave Reynolds]

23. Good, thank you.

Winding down another work night, only 3 hours overtime tonight!

[Heidi]

26. Wow. Do you _always_ work nights?

I'd feel deprived of my playtime if I had to work nights. :cry:

[Dave Reynolds]

31. 3:30 pm until ????

I'm not much good at getting up in the morning, I usually prefer to see the sun come up prior to turning in.

[Tom Kitten]

11. Hi Heidi!

I'm in a warm fuzzy mood tonight!

[Heidi]

15. Hey, TK!

Are you in your new place yet? Seen the little Hitler-moustached kitten at all?

:hug:

[Tom Kitten]

21. October 1st

I move, and the little Hitler-moustached kitten belongs to someone! :cry: I just found out!

[Heidi]

22. It's good that he has a home.

I feel better now, though I know you would have given him a good home, too.

How are you, Tom? I love new starts, but I loathe all the work involved in preparing for a new start . . . like packing. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

14. I am here tonight too

Hi Heidi!

:hug:

:donut:

[Heidi]

16. Howdy, gf!

Do tell us your _real_ feelings about the "c" thread that will remain unnamed. Shameless attention mongering? Or attempt at meaningful dialogue? :evilgrin:

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

17. I think I will stay out this round

I am however intrigued by the book mentioned in the thread...I like to read books with divergent points of view, even if I do not entirely agree with them.

[Heidi]

18. You're a smart and occasionally diplomatic human bean, KW.

I've heard of the book before. Might even read it, if I ever get caught up on everything else I need and want to do. :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

19. only occasionally diplomatic?

:cry:

just kidding

:rofl:

[alarcojon]

32. An attempt at meaningful dialogue? In the lounge?

Just my two cents, of course.

No more posting artwork Heidi? :cry:

[Heidi]

37. Yeah, that's just what I mean.

That's the very reason I think that post was flamebait. The OP should have tried that post in GD. :evilgrin:

I'll post some more artwork when I get some photos taken this week. Right now, I'm barely keepin' my head above water. :cry:

[alarcojon]

40. I was referring to the "please don't post pictures"

warning on this incarnation of Nighthawks. I understand we want our dial-up friends to participate, but I also love to post pictures (as I'm sure you've noticed).

[Heidi]

41. Oh, I'm sorry about that, alarcojon.

I love your picture threads. :hug:

Too late for me to edit the OP here to allow for pictures. :cry: I guess the happy "in-between" for would that we go ahead and post images, and just start new Nighthawks threads more frequently? Arrrrrrgh. Dilemma! :dilemma:

[alarcojon]

43. Well, you can't please everyone

I can go without pics for now....

okay, just a little one....

[Heidi]

44. .

Spank you very much, sir. :spank:

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Hello Heidi

:hi:

How are you today? :hug:

[Heidi]

24. Hi, MissHoneychurch!

I'm a little sad that Droopy is leaving us, and I miss Mr. Scorpio, and I'm way behind on work that I need to finish before the weekend. Otherwise, I'm just fine. :rofl:

How're you? Any news on the election? I haven't checked the German websites this morning.

:hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. nothing new on the election side

yeah, it is sad that Droopy leaves. I hope he comes back someday. And where is MrScorpio? I just thought this morning that I haven't seen him in a while.

I am not too good. Have the feeling like a cold is creeping up on me. In the morning it is cold, in the afternoon warm. How are you supposed to wear the right clothes?

[Heidi]

30. Mr. Scorpio's computer was giving him problems

over the weekend, and he explained that if he's not around, that's why.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Dress is layers; then you can strip down if you're too warm, or add more if you're too cold. :shrug:

:hug:

[billyskank]

33. Hi gorgeous!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :bounce:

[billyskank]

35. Well...I gotta go to work

You missed me. But I missed you more. :cry:

[Heidi]

36. Billy, dah-ling!

I had a phone call. Sorry, sorry. :cry:

:hug: Sending you good vibes for a beautiful Tuesday, my friend. :loveya:

[billyskank]

45. I had to check from work

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Heidi]

46. Right backatcha.

:D

[texanwitch]

38. Hello Heidi

Getting ready for the Hurricane, no going Washington DC now.

I am just a little pissed off right now.

[Heidi]

39. I'm sorry you can't go to DC, gf.

:cry: My little sister's town was evacuated already; I worry about her everytime mother nature decides to throw a hissy fit in the south.

I'll send you good vibes, huh? :hug:

[texanwitch]

42. I will get to Washington but just to visit, sometime in December or

January, maybe I will get lucky and it will be snowing.

Thanks for hug.:pals: :hug:

[gmoney]

47. At what point do Nighthawks become...

...stupidly-early-in-the-morning-Hawks?

How can I be wide awake after only two hours sleep? The mind is a dark forest...

:loveya: Hello Heidi, my shining morning star... and good morning fellow denizens of the dark. :donut:

[enigmatic]

48. what up?

[alarcojon]

53. How goes it E?

Another late night for me. What else is new?

[enigmatic]

54. Hey bro!

I was going to put the show on auto-pilot and crash early but I got my second wind; how goes it w/ you?

[alarcojon]

55. I'll probably be up another hour or so, maybe more

light teaching day tomorrow - just a little probability in the morning.

[KitchenWitch]

49. A bit on the rowdy side tonight!

Good to see you Heidi!

[Az]

50. Hey! I think I am starting to get the pattern

This thread gets active at..... whats the word..... ..er..... Night.... this thread is active at night! Yay!

[enigmatic]

57. You gots it!

Heidi hasn'r shown up yet; I need a coffee burp hug from her, too!

[Az]

51. Dupe

And an excuse to get a second hug.... :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. All right..here we are...Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

How are you doing, my dear Heidi? It has been crazy good in the Lounge tonight..

All sorts of interesting threads...I even had a techie one...

:loveya: :hug: to my gf!

[alarcojon]

56. That tech one whizzed over my head!

sounds like a fun trip you've got planned, CalPeg. Evening to you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. Ah, my dear alarcojon!

Actually my trip for this year is done..we went to the Mediteranean in June/July...

Nothing's planned as yet for next year.......

My husband resists planning till at least January of the year when we'll go...

Good to see you!


:pals:

[texanwitch]

59. Hello Heidi

Just checking while I still can, Friday that hurricane should hit.

Wish I was where you are.

[alarcojon]

60. Take care, TW

we're all with you in spirit

[texanwitch]

68. Many thanks alarcojon, this is really my first hurricane as an adult

with all the worries. I have a good, solid old house that is 75 years old, been though a few storms. Everything will be OK, and I have insurance.

Everyone is rushing around, buying everything in sight.

Take a good look at downtown Houston, it won't look the same after Rita comes.

[billyskank]

61. Hi, Heidi!

:hi: Have a hug from me: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

62. billy!!!!!

:loveya:

[billyskank]

63. Hi KW!

:loveya: How are you?

[KitchenWitch]

64. Pretty rowdy tonight!

[billyskank]

65. Glad to hear it

Man, I couldn't live life at the pace you young 'uns do. ;)

[KitchenWitch]

66. Who you calling young?

I am in my forties.

[billyskank]

70. I know

Or rather, I guessed. ;)

[alarcojon]

67. We're all in a time warp!

I just noticed this is Nighthawks IV, not Nighthawks XIV. Well, I guess I wanted to go back to the start of semester after all...

BTW where is Heidi?

[gmoney]

69. Morning Glories...

Or maybe it should be "Night, Hawks" -- between insomnia and our friends in far flung time zones, I can't tell night from day half the time.

How is it that Sunday and Monday were looking so positive, and Tuesday comes around and it feels like every single thing that was working is now collapsing? Am I being punished?

:shrug:

That aside, greetings Heidi, MissHoney, and everyone else, no matter what reason you happen to be up at this odd hour. :grouphug:
