To all my good friends here in the Lounge......a temporary goodbye...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

As some of you already know, tomorrow I will be flying up to the San Francisco Bay area to spend the week with my pals NV Whino and Crazy Guggenheim!

I will pick up a car (hopefully a Toyota, since I drive one now) there, and then drive north over the splendid Golden Gate Bridge to the northern part of the Bay...

Where I will rendezvous with Crazy for lunch.....

Then I will proceed to Calistoga where my B&B is located, get checked in, and call NV Whino......


We will spend until Friday hanging out, playing with my new digital camera (Nikon D50) and like that! She has promised to let me use her new macro lens, and I am thrilled at the prospect!

So I probably won't be posting much...and when/if I do, it will be from her computer.....

So you won't see much of me until I return home...and I hope you all have a wonderful week .......

And REMEMBER: I LOVE YOU ALL!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. You should try to hook up with Bullwinkle925

She lives in the East Bay. Oh Bullwinkle - where are you?

Have a wonderful time!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Trust me.......I will!

Been planning this since last spring, when I retired ........


:pals:

[Bullwinkle925]

81. Have a wonderful time Miss Peggy.

Don't know if I can see you this week - hopefully you'll be able to come up another time?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

96. You never know....nothing in the works right now.......

Thanks for the good wishes!


:hug:

[enigmatic]

2. Have fun, Peggy!!!!!!!

:hug: And take some pics!

[alarcojon]

7. Think of the Nighthawks!

Oh the horror!

Just kidding - have a wonderful trip. We'll be here when you get back. B-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I plan on having the time of my middle-aged life!

Thanks!

The Nighthawks will survive this temporary absence....have no fear!


:grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear enigmatic!

ONLY SOME? You have to be kidding me! I plan on taking many, and posting the best!

There will be all kinds of wonderful sights to see in my pic thread when I come home to the Lounge......

I will miss you......:loveya: :hug:

[enigmatic]

Behave!:rofl:

:loveya: :hug:

[swimboy]

5. It won't be the same without you near!

Have a wonderful time!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thank you, my dear swimboy......

Everyone needs a change now and then...and that includes my beloved Lounge Lizards.....

I do as well.....it will most likely be therapeutic for me to be away from my computer for a few days.......


I hope you have a wonderful week too!



:loveya: :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Have fun Peggy!

You'll be missed. :hi:

I'll miss you (and will be missing the rest of the Nighthawks in a couple of days).

It'll be fun to see your pictures, and I'll make sure I post mine also.

Have a wonderful time, and don't forget Crazy's :popcorn: .

Here's a song for the road:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear SeattleGirl!

I'll miss you too...but I know you'll be having such a wonderful birthday celebration in Las Vegas!

Crazy will get his popcorn, to be sure...and some hugs I promised him a long time ago!

And thank you for the wonderful song for the road! I love ya!

18. Hey, CA Peggy! Are you gonna be in MY neck o' the woods?

Maybe I should PM you...

It would be nice to meet you in person. You come across as such a sweetie online.

:loveya:
Shine

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Ah my dear Shine....

Thanks! I don't believe I'll be that far north, however....

I'm headed for just north of SF Bay....Napa and Sonoma counties...

Go ahead and PM me...just to be sure.....Some fine day, we will meet...I am sure of this!

I'm a lot more interesting in person than I am here, believe me.....


:loveya: :pals:

[Shine]

27. Silly me. I just re-read your post and saw you won't be in my

area at all...unless you go SOUTH towards the Monterey Bay area. Scratch that PM I sent ya. Sigh....

Maybe we'll meet some other time and I'm sure we're both very interesting...WHEREVER we are, my dear! :pals:

Shine

[WCGreen]

19. Have fun... And be safe.....

The lounge will miss you.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Thank you, WC........

I will most certainly have fun...I am sure of this....

Being safe is very high on my list of priorities......and I will...

I will miss my Lounge Lizards muchly...but only for a short time...

I'll return full of piss and vinegar, and ready to post pics from my new digital camera......and it will be grand!

But the return will be all the sweeter for the separation, now won't it?

61. Thanks Crazy.......

I know you're almost as excited as I am about this trip of mine...

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Clintmax]

52. I hope you have a GREAT time, Miss Peggy!

I've been to San Francisco...it's a fantastic city! I'd love to live there except for one thing...it's too freakin cold there for me! That wind comes off the bay and it can blow right through you! *brrrr*!

Other than how cold it was (and in June, mind you), I LOVED the city! I rode the streetcars and trolly's and BART everywhere I went!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

54. As the old saying goes "I never spent a winter so cold as a summer

morning in San Francisco."

[Clintmax]

56. Boy, THAT'S the truth, Crazy!

:rofl:
Wasn't it Mark Twain that originally said that? I love, SF!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

59. I think so.

[BrotherBuzz]

95. It's an urban myth than Mark Twain smithed those words...

and I'll be the first to admit it captures Mark Twain's wit but he never actually said it.

Let me set the record straight: there's no proof that Mark Twain uttered the storied saying 'The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.' The only remarks Samuel Clemens made about San Francisco's weather was in the book Roughing It, in which he states, 'Nobody ever wears summer clothing. You wear black broadcloth, if you have it, in August and January, just the same... You do not use overcoats and you do not use fans.' and further in the chapter, he summed up California weather by stating 'Mono Lake has an "eternal winter", San Francisco an "eternal spring" and Sacramento an "eternal summer".'

The quote has also been attributed to H.L. Mencken and Will Rogers for good reason, but the true author is lost to history, and we doubt it was a longtime resident, since we all know that true summer arrives for a week in March and another week in September or October. (Please, don't tell the tourists).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. San Francisco is a wonderful city...but alas I'm only driving through it

tomorrow...

However, I did grow up in San Jose, so I know whereof you speak....

And that includes the cold wind in June!

But I thank you for your warm wishes...the trip should be grand...


:loveya: :hug:

[HEAVYHEART]

55. CaliforniaPeggy

Take care of you and have a great time! Enjoy yourselves!

Thanks for your good wishes...I will take care...and a good time is guaranteed!

57. Safe passage and I hope you have a wonderful time...

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

And I hope this week sees your healing accelerate!

I'm planning on having a complete ball!


:loveya: :hug:

It should be a wonderful week, thanks! I hope yours is as well.....

[Crazy Guggenheim]

70. Did you mean something about me?

[Floogeldy]

80. Of course

I want you to be careful, too. But not as careful as CP.

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

I got your Tarzan right here!

:rofl:



Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(4X)

Jungle life
I'm far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan Boy

Hide and seek
I play along while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

Jungle life
I'm living in the open
Native beat that carries on

Burning bright
A fire the blows teh signal to the sky
I sit and wonder does the message get to you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(4X)

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other chance
tonight
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other world

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(4X)

Jungle life
You're far away from nothing
It's all right
You won't miss home

Take a chance
Leave everything behind you
Come and join me
Won't be sorry
It's easy to survive

Jungle life
We're living in the open
All alone like Tarzan Boy

Hide and seek
We play along while rushing cross the
forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh Yeah
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
You won't play
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh Yeah
Night to night
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(4X)
(Repeat)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear Floog......

I will have a good time, you bet!

Careful? Of course....I'll be driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads....

I will indeed be careful!

See you when I get back! (Friday)



:loveya: :hug:

[NV Whino]

74. Bring a hat

We'll go topless. Weather has been glorious.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

75. I'll bring a hat ...as for topless..um..gee...

NOT!

I'm preparing for showers as well....and do I need any dressy clothes?

I'm so happy I'm getting to meet you and Crazy tomorrow!

I'll talk to you later..dinnertime right now....


:loveya: :hug:

[NV Whino]

76. I wouldn't worry about dressy

Everything here, except for a few restaurants that we can't afford anyway, is causual.

[Aristus]

77. I love you, too, CalPeg.

More than anybody else here!


(remember that).



I'll miss you! :cry: B-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. My dear Aristus!

What a sweetheart! And quite the flirt, if I may be so bold.....

I'll miss you as well.....See you Friday!

:loveya: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

88. I am sure CG will be on sometime before you get back

[Crazy Guggenheim]

89. My lips are and will be sealed.

[KitchenWitch]

90. Vee have vaaayz of making you talk!

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

92. Oh I see!

YOu think there might be some hanky-panky? Think again, my dear KW...

O8)

[KitchenWitch]

94. I was not worried about hanky panky

it is those pesky F-Bombs you like to throw around!

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

98. I'm a lot more discreet in RL........

Trust me.......:evilgrin:












BTW...NEVER trust anyone who says trust me......:rofl:

[texas1928]

97. Have fun

And no wild parties.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

100. Thank you, texas1928.......

Wild parties? Naaaaaahhhhhhhh........

I'm taking some magazines (no, I really am) to read when things are quiet......or I'm alone in my B&B at night.......

Fun is guaranteed......


:hi:

[IChing]

101. I guess that your life

is such

but DS1 got burned and he had no reply, even by You

if my words did glow of words of sunshine

I will also be cut off from the internet.

and not because of travel
or the protests you have done on Lennon's birthday or in your meetings
no matter who you decide
to meet
and not change. sorry I missed you on the date where protest mattered
but socialization is more important, right.

Good luck

sweetie
you and craziy
Gug........ he never talked about DS1 fire !!!!!!!!

This disappoints me unless you are the thinking person I thought you were.

Happy Lennon's birthday

My
thoughts will be cut out by construction
on my arson
and the new ...... so I will not communicate to the lounge
like this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1838761

They said
I would have to move out
for 2 months
I give them
1 day and it worked.

Arnt' I wonderful on rambling?
No one I think is my tree
I mean it must be high or low

[IChing]

102. On edited DS1 had threads like mine that were nominated

crazy never had one

good luck

[CaliforniaPeggy]

105. I thank you my dear IChing for your rambling!

You always challenge me, and I thank you for doing so....

I will have fun this week...and I hope your week is good as well...


:hug:

[Heidi]

103. And we love you, too, Peggy!

Have fun, and please shake Crazy Guggenheim's hand for me!

:hug: :loveya: (And take lots of photos to share with us!) :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

107. No worries, my dear Heidi!

Taking pics is the main reason for this little trip..

Of course I will shake CG's hand for you...! I might even give him a kiss for you, of course...:rofl:

And I'm sure that's how it'll pan out.......


:loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

106. You had me worried for a moment, Peggy.

(I thought you meant taking a posting break, as in "I don't know when I'll see you all again.")

Have a terrific time! And if you need bail money, call KitchenWitch. :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

109. Yeah, like KitchenWitch is MADE of money!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

113. Maybe you could cast a spell, though, to open the

jailhouse doors! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

114. Maybe not, but you have lots of friends, don't you?

And people would virtually throw money at you if you asked. I'm a preacher - everyone thinks I'm after their money already.

[KitchenWitch]

115. I could hold a DU fundraiser!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

116. A Post-a-thon would be more entertaining.

We may never get Peggy out of jail, but we'd sure have a hell of a time working on it! :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

117. You know it!

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

119. Now just a doggone minute!

Let's make something very clear: I AM NOT GOING TO JAIL! Not on this trip anyhow.......:rofl:

You guys crack me up......truly!

[SeattleGirl]

120. Well, we just wanted to let you know we are at the ready

*just in case* !!! :rofl: :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

121. Yeah. Right...Sure you are!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I am overcome with your love and concern for little old me!

:sarcasm:


J/K.......

[SeattleGirl]

123. I resemble that remark!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

110. Oh, my dear Rev! no no no....no posting breaks!

Have no worries..this is not that sort of posting break!

I will be back this coming Friday, and then my posting will resume!

No bail money should be needed....I hope! :scared:


A very good time should indeed be had, by me, and by all my friends who I'll see up north!

:loveya: :hug:

122. I live in SF

Come on by.
