Good Thursday Morning, Everyone!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
How's everyone doing? I hope all you Nighthawks have had a fun evening!

[tjwmason]

1. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

La vie est (une peu) belle.

[Clintmax]

2. Morning, TJ!

:pals:
So, is the translation something like; "The life is (a little) beautiful"?

[tjwmason]

6. Yes....things aren't quite at the full-blown la vie est belle stage.

But things are pretty good, and as I'm listening to French opera I thought that I should use some of my atrocious French.

How are you today mon ami? :pals: :hug:

[Clintmax]

12. I'm great!

Still yawning, but fine! Anything exciting been going on in merry ol' England?

[tjwmason]

19. Not much.

We're being governed by a group of unprincipled liars, the Conservative Party leadership race is going to take almost as long as your primaries, and soon a television licence could cost nearly £200 p.a.

How's life in Florida?

[Clintmax]

23. Well, if we could get rid of that fucker, Jeb...

we'd be a lot better off! him!

[tjwmason]

26. Do you honestly mean to tell me that you don't like the Governor

of your state?

:wow: I'm shocked.

[Clintmax]

28. Ummm...no, I DON'T like him...

even a little bit. :rofl:

[billyskank]

3. Morning clinters!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

7. Hi, Billy!

:hi:
You know, it's strange, people have been adding letters to my name to make up a new one for a long time! I had a co-worker who used to call me Clintly...then a good friend who used to call me Clinticles. What made you decide on Clinters? :rofl:

[billyskank]

10. I often add "-ers" or "-sters" to the ends of names

depends on what letter it ends in. You become "Clinters." Progmom would become "progmomsters," or maybe just "progsters."

Clinticles.... :rofl:

[Clintmax]

15. Yes, that's a funny one...

It always made me laugh when he said that name. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

I suppose that it's less of a thread-jack to say hello Billy here

:hi:

How's you doing this fine morning?

[billyskank]

17. I am doing fine, thanks mason

Maybe I can't say la vie est belle, but I can say ça va bien, merci.

Et tu? :bounce:

[tjwmason]

22. Oui ca va bein aussi.

But my French has suffered from 10 years of non-study so that might be very wrong.

[swimboy]

40. Good morning, TJ!

How are you? :hug: When I get down to work in a few minutes I will get my first taste of Poulenc's Dialogue des Carmelites. I went by the library last night on the way to choir practice and got that and Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle (a boxed vinyl set). That was hard to find. It had been checked out only once since 1985 and had not yet been migrated to their automated catalogue. Richmond has a very impressive music library, including scores, for a city of our size. I'll need some time at home for the Rossini as I'll need the turntable.

Thanks for expanding my horizons! :D

[tjwmason]

51. At my university library I was forever checking out books

which had yet to make it to the computer system :crazy:

I do hope that you enjoy them now that my reputation rests on them :scared:

:hug:

[Fox Mulder]

4. Morning Clint!

I'm getting ready to leave on my fall break trip (less than four hours). I'm kinda excited so I can't sleep.

How's it going for you?

[Clintmax]

8. Hello, Fox!

:hi:
It's going good! I'm just trying to wake up...have coffee in hand. Where are you going for your trip?

[Mutley]

5. Is it Thursday already?

Sheesh this week has gone by fast.

Mornin Clintmax! :hi:

[Clintmax]

9. I know it, Man!

Time just flies! How's it goin', Mutley? :hi:

[Mutley]

13. Good!

I'm tired of waking up so early, but once I get on a schedule it's hard to change it. :hangover: How 'bout you?

[Clintmax]

16. I'm swell!

But I've always been an early riser, and I like to be up this early, so no complaints from me about THAT.

[Mutley]

20. I'm more of a 9am riser.

But the SO was working at 7am for a couple weeks so now I'm used to getting up at 5:30-6. x(

[Clintmax]

24. Hey, it's good for ya!

You know..."Early To Bed And Early To Rise Makes A Man Healthy, Wealthy And Wise." I just wish the wealthy part would hurry up and happen!

[Mutley]

25. Yeah, but I can't even stay up past 10 anymore.

But that's okay. Gives me time in the morning to screw around before I go to school.

[Clintmax]

27. That's right!

I hate to get up and then immediately start getting ready to go somewhere. I like to make coffee, wake up, fix breakfast, watch the sun come up and just basically take my time and enjoy the quiet of the morning. It's great!

[billyskank]

11. Hi mutley!

:hi:

[Mutley]

14. Hey, Billy!

How's your morning going?

[billyskank]

18. Quite well, thanks!

I am ready for lunch, to be sure.

Nice to see you!

[Mutley]

21. Lunch?!?

:D

Good to see you, too!

edit: okay, nevermind. I just looked at your profile. No wonder it's lunchtime for you. :7 It's 6am for me!

[In_The_Wind]

29. *Yawn*

My goodness - I slept late this morning ...

[Clintmax]

30. Hello, Miss Joan!

:hug:
It's OK to sleep in sometimes...we ALL do it! You doing OK so far though?

[In_The_Wind]

33. I'm facing a serious problem ...

do I shower and wash my hair before or after I go to Bob Evans for breakfast ...

other than that ~ everything is peachy-keen



I don't even mind the pouring rain ...

[Clintmax]

34. I would.

But so long as you don't smell, you should be OK. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

35. no problems ...

later then ...

See how much I rely on my DU friends!


I Need Coffee ...

[Clintmax]

36. That's what we're here for!

:hug:
I hope you have a good breakfast!

[In_The_Wind]

49. *Warning* ... Bob Evans coffee Is The Worst In Every State!

drink the hot chocolate ....

cause Bob Evens coffee is only coffee-colored-water :grr:

[Clintmax]

50. LOL!

Yes, one can hardly get a good cup of coffee ANYWHERE anymore! I WILL say that Krispy Kreme's Bold coffee is EXCELLENT! Have you tried theirs yet?

[In_The_Wind]

54. Yes, indeed I have.

I grew up drinking Krispy Kreme coffee - but I find the bold to have a bit of a bite, I believe that KK might add chicory to their blends ...

I'm so spoiled that I used to take my coffee grinder, beans and coffee pot when I traveled - I may start taking Dunkin' Donut's coffee beans with me. The next best thing is Starbucks.

I like mocha latte ...

as I just said ~ I'm spoiled ...

[Scooter24]

31. Gooooood Morning!

I'm doing good thankyou. How did the cellphone shopping go?

:)

[Clintmax]

32. Hello, Scooter!

:hi:
I got busy doing other things so I didn't go. I may wait until this weekend while I'm off work so I'll have more time. I still haven't made up my mind which one I would get.

[kitkatrose]

37. It is a good morning!

I only have one class today. But I have 3 tests tomorrow. :( Oh well, I get to see my boyfriend this weekend. :loveya:

[swimboy]

38. Good morning!

Clinticles :rofl: That one goes in the file!

I swam this morning and I biked there. Very odd because the city streets were all but deserted at 5:30am. It's certainly safer that way.

I hope you have a great day, and you have your weekend off to look forward to.

(Sorry about Jeb. We had an idiot governor, George Allen, and we decided to send him to the Senate. :grr: )

Later, bud. :hug:

[tjwmason]

39. Good morning swimboy.

:hi:

Good to hear about the swimming and biking - I'll reason that you've done enough exercise for both of us. :D

[swimboy]

45. Hello!

Ha! Yes, unfortunately I ate a muffin for both of us too! I'm using my bike more often to get around. It's nice having home, work and church, library, etc. within a few blocks of each other.

Don't miss my greeting higher up in the thread. :hi:

[tjwmason]

53. Well I had salad for lunch

as usual, which should count for something good.

But I did have a bigger than usual breakfast as well - which is definitely not good.

[Clintmax]

43. I KNEW everyone would get a kick out of THAT one!

:rofl: I hope you have a good day too! I'm looking forward to getting off work tomorrow afternoon, I'll tell you THAT!

[swimboy]

47. You were durn right, too!

:pals:

[Clintmax]

48. LOL!

Yes...I know...:pals:

[AirmensMom]

41. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi:

[Clintmax]

42. Hello, Airmens!

:hi:
How's every little thing today?

[AirmensMom]

52. Fine, thanks.

I hope you're having a nice day! :)

[WCGreen]

44. Mornin' Mr. Max.....

As I promised yesterday, today is a fine one indeed....

[Clintmax]

46. Heya, WC!

:hi: Glad today is going so good! Nice to see you again!

[RedCloud]

55. I,m fine. Hope you are too. My Red Bird Clouds won!

[Shine]

56. Top 'o the mornin' to ya

:hi:

It's an absolutely GORGEOUS autumn morning, out here on the west coast!
It's a great day to be alive.

Life is good....

Shine

[Clintmax]

57. Glad to hear everything is so rosy in the west!

:hi:
Top o' the morning to you too!
