Good Monday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew thread and the start of a brand new week! :bounce: I hope you had a good weekend with some beautiful weather so you were able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air! I certainly did! :woohoo:

We went shopping on Saturday and got several things, including the movie "Desk Set" on DVD. I love that film! It stars Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn and it is GREAT! If you've never seen it, give it a look...it's a romantic comedy and funny as hells! For Mother's Day, I sent my Mom a bouquet of flowers and when they arrived, she called and said they were beautiful and got a little choked up as she was telling me about them. It was so sweet!

Greekspeak and I got the laundry done on Sunday and I made what is quite possibly the BEST Country Mix CD I've EVER created! :woohoo: I can't wait to listen to it in my car!

So are you ready to get the week started? I hope so...because here it comes! :bounce:

2. Morning!

[Clintmax]

5. Hail, Random!

:hi:
How's every little thing? Still pretty little? :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

11. yup. No time for chats today, I'm sorry, there is lots of math to do.

x(.

Cya on the morrow.

Edit: The Hallelujah Chorus is so cool. (And "Jesu, Joy of (lalalalala)")

[Clintmax]

30. Well ok...

Hello and goodbye I guess. x( Good luck with all that math! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. We are in the home stretch for home readying!

I am painting our bedroom today, and making the laundry room presentable...the sign should go up on Wednesday. I'm a bit melancholy about it all...This is our first real home...

Have a great week, Clintmax!! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

13. Good Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
Awww...I can certainly understand about you being melancholy, my dear. :hug: I'm sure it's an exciting and scary time for you. It will all be just fine though. You'll see! :loveya: I hope you have a fantastic week too, my dear!

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. I have been enjoying looking at the pictures of the homes you have

looked at. Made any decisions yet?

[Clintmax]

31. Yes actually...

we decided to wait for a short while to get a few things ironed out before we take on buying a house. So for now...we're on hold. I want to be sure we do it right.

[ScreamingMeemie]

114. And you will know when the time is right!

I'm a little scared now though. I felt better about it knowing someone else was going through the same thing! ;) :hug:

[Clintmax]

119. Yes...I'll know.

I just need to get a few of my "ducks in a row" to make sure everything is right before I commit. Try not to be scared, my dear. Everything is going to be just fine!

[ScreamingMeemie]

121. I hope so! Big step. Our house payment is so nice right now and

we're really chopping away at it...but, it's not our dream. And it is time for MrG to realize one of his dreams. He deserves it. :) :hug:

[Clintmax]

140. I'm sure it will!

I'm sending all kinds of good vibes your way, my dear! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

148. Thanks Clintmax! I appreciate them.

We put it on the market on Wednesday. I took a picture of the front this morning, with the lilacs in full bloom for the listing. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

154. YAY!

How many bedrooms and things?

[ScreamingMeemie]

158. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, finished basement with bath, 2 car detached

garage with new siding and roof. New carpet in the basement. Freshly painted and all appliances (including that dratted brand new washer/dryer) stay. :) Walk to the park and beach. Walking distance to elementary, middle and high schools.

[Clintmax]

167. Sounds fantastic!

I wish it were here in Tallahassee! I'd love to see it! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

14. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

Wonderful, as always, to see you here today.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Good morning to you tj!

It is wonderful to be here. How's the week shaping up for you so far? :hug:

[tjwmason]

38. Not to bad at all thanks.

Pretty boring - the company's trying to introduce a new system, but those who are 'organising' it couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery...

But I'm happily ignoring all of that - sitting here pretending to work.

How's things with you?

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Things are really good, thanks!

Why do the most inept people get the jobs that everyone knows they are going to screw up?

I am getting ready to paint the bedroom. It will be the last major project before we list the house. :)

[tjwmason]

74. You seem to be doing more to the house when you're leaving

than most would do when they arrive...

I hope that it all goes well for you. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

112. MrG is a bit of a perfectionist. Honest to golly, he is worried about

what people we don't even know will think of us. :) We "had to" replace the carpet in the basement. I keep telling him that in a few months we'll see it rolled up at the side of the road because the new owners don't like it. The appraiser in me gets me questioning him all the time.

I'm okay with the paint job, because I don't like the original color I picked out. It's really too dark. :hug: Thanks tj!

[Mutley]

4. Morning Clint!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Hi mutley!!!

:bounce: :hi: :hug:

[Mutley]

9. Hey MrsGrumpy!

:hi: :hug:

How are you today?

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I am good...Lazing around in my robe...about to get kid number 1 up

for school. This is truly the best time of the day for me. :)

[Mutley]

23. Wonderful!

:)

I'm just trying to become fully conscious. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Hehehe...It's a tough thing to do.

:)

[Mutley]

62. It is. But a little coffee jolt and I'm on my way.

:D

[Clintmax]

15. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today, my dear! Did you have a good time over the weekend?

[Mutley]

24. Hey Clint!

My weekend was alright. Just did school work, hung out on DU, and watched a baseball game yesterday. Fairly typical stuff.

[Clintmax]

32. Did you get all your school work done on Saturday?

I hope so! That way you had part of Saturday and all of Sunday to yourself! :hug:

[Mutley]

36. Meh, most of it.

I've one small project I need to do during my break today, but it truly won't take long.

[Clintmax]

45. That's good!

You've GOT to be getting close to being finished for the summer...right?

[Mutley]

48. My last exam is on the 23rd.

8 days from now. x(

[Clintmax]

58. Wow.

That's crazy! You should have been done a week ago! Every other place has been! x(

[Mutley]

60. Don't I know it.

Though ZombieNixon finishes later then me, I think. He's about the only one I know of.

[Clintmax]

66. Jeez!

Some of these colleges have completely lost their minds, I swear.

[Mutley]

70. I'll drink to that.

:toast:

That's coffee, BTW. It's not even 7 yet! :P

[Clintmax]

73. You got it!

I'm going to fill my coffee cup right now also! :bounce:

[Mutley]

77. I'm out of milk so I'm drinking my coffee

black with sugar. It's kind of gross. :P

[Clintmax]

82. I drink mine black only.

No sugar, no milk, no creamer. THAT stuff makes the coffee yucky in my opinion. :rofl:

[Mutley]

86. I'll try my second cup straight up black.

Maybe that'll be better. :D

[Clintmax]

92. You could try a little sip...

before you pour a full cup to see if you'll like it that way. You probably won't if it's at all bitter. Let me know what you think!

[Mutley]

100. I didn't like it.

I had to put some sugar in it, though only about half as much as the last cup and it's much better.

[Clintmax]

103. Ok...that's good.

Drink it how YOU like it. Not everyone can drink it straight up like I do. I like it strong too. I don't like to have a cup of hot water. :rofl:

[Mutley]

132. Lol, I used to drink it black in high school

I guess my tastes have changed. :P

[Clintmax]

142. Hey, that happens.

Worry not. Like I said...drink it how YOU like it.

[tjwmason]

16. Good morning Mutley.

:hi:

How are you this fine day.

[Mutley]

25. Morning tj.

:hi:

I'm well if a little sleepy still. How about you?

[tjwmason]

40. Glad to hear it.

:hi:

I'm pretty good here - though surrounded by pure nonsense, as always, not letting it affect me in the slightest though (apart from the high-pitched nervous giggle from one of the women here, I would like to cut her vocal chords out - but she's not in my office so it's only occasional visits when it bugs me). :D

[Mutley]

46. ...

:rofl:

You make me yearn for office life. :P

[tjwmason]

81. It's great fun really.

:crazy:

I suppose it's like any other environment where there's a group of people - some will be bound to irritate one...especially if one's a grumpy quasi-misanthrope like what I am.

[Mutley]

87. Well, I better look forward to it

because that is likely what I'll end up doing.

[entanglement]

7. Howdy, Clint!

:hi:

and for once, you have a 'Song of the Day' that I've heard and like :rofl:

[Clintmax]

22. Hail, Entanglement!

:hi:
LOL! You're not the first person that's ever said that before about the song of the day. But see, you're supposed to go give those you haven't heard before a listen to see if you like them!

[entanglement]

35. Mea culpa, I'm justly rebuked

Sorry, it's just that I found it very funny for a moment.
And, to reiterate, I really like "Winds of Change", so we actually have something in common :)

[Clintmax]

49. Sweet!

I love it too. I haven't heard it in a while, so when I came across it in my mp3 files, I just HAD to listen. Didn't mean to rebuke ya, Dude. Sorry.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning Clint

YAY!! Finally a song I actually KNOW!! But then The Scorpions are a German group :rofl:

Yesterday I was sleeping more or less the whole day as we only got home 4am.

Now it is time for me to get on my lunch break, will be back in a little while

:hi:

[Clintmax]

26. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you've actually heard one of the songs! Maybe I need to make "Moskau" a song of the day sometime so you'll know another one! :bounce: Sounds like you were out VERY late on Sunday am.

[MissHoneychurch]

55. We went to two different clubs

some eye candy, some good music, a lot of good time.


And please, don't make "Moskau" to the song of the day :rofl:

[Clintmax]

61. LOL! Don't think I should, huh?

:rofl:
Hey, it's a good song! :rofl: I'm glad you had a good time! Did you get to make up some good names for people?

[MissHoneychurch]

67. Not really

I just told M. later on that even though there were some black people in the one club, none of them could compete with him. He thanked me for the ego boost :rofl:

[Clintmax]

71. LOL! Hey, sounds like you've got a good one!

If none of them could compare, you've got a sexy boy! I'm happy for ya, my dear!

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Hell yeah

I got a sexy guy. Very yummy. :7

[Clintmax]

84. Good for you!

:bounce:
Is work going OK so far today?

[MissHoneychurch]

89. Work is good for me

Quiet so far but that is OK. My boss called me this morning at home, told me she would take the day off as she has private business to do out of town. OK, no problem. Now my co-worker is packing her stuff so I will be alone this afternoon.

[Clintmax]

93. Isn't that going to be lonely?

All by yourself for the rest of the afternoon?

[MissHoneychurch]

95. It is OK

in my old job I was alone all day. It was really bad when there were no students which were half a year alltogether every year. Now it is only when both my boss AND my co-worker are gone. And I can turn on some music and work and post here.

[Clintmax]

105. Well then that would be okay for me too!

I'm listening to some music right now also and posting here! It's a lot of fun! But then again, I'm at home not at work.

[MissHoneychurch]

108. At home I would listen to my music even more

here I have to keep it quiet so that no one is bothered.

Btw, did you see the pics I posted today?

[Clintmax]

116. No, I haven't seen them yet!

I've been in the Morning thread since I came in here! I'll go see! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

125. Yes you are quite busy here

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

143. Yes...

the threads have gotten huge and they keep me busy! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

145. They sure do

you are a well liked person I would say. So it will be a boost to see you in RL. I can brag about that here :rofl:

[Clintmax]

156. LOL!

I'm going to go see your pictures now...be back in a few minutes!

[MissHoneychurch]

176. I guess you saw the pics

and liked thme :D

[Clintmax]

181. Oh my gods YES!

They were all BEAUTIFUL! You are SUCH a good photographer! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

187. Thanks Clint

:hug:

[Clintmax]

190. You're welcome, Darlin'!

You deserve the credit! I haven't seen a picture of yours yet that I didn't like!

[Callalily]

128. Morning MissH

Glad to hear that you had fun clubbing. Ahhh, lots of eye candy huh? Well, nothing wrong with looking. And anyway, seems that your allegiances lie (and I use this term figuratively :rofl: ) elsewhere.

[MissHoneychurch]

135. Good morning SimplyF

yes you could say so. Nothing can beat the look of THAT man :rofl:

I read through your post to Clint. Sounds like you had a lot of fun yourself at the jazz evening.

It is hard to lose a friend or family member to cancer or any other reason. Good for you that you do the fund raise. When my granddad died due to cancer we asked for money for the children's cancer foundation instead of flowers. Same when my dad died. Money for a brain cancer research foundation instead of flowers. It helps more than flowers.

[Callalily]

159. That was very thoughtful

of you and your family to ask for donations in lieu of flowers. That way others can be helped too, and it's a nice tribute to your dad.

Nice to hear that you and your sweetie are so compatible. Suspect that you wish that the two of you lived closer. Did he get the job that he was interviewing for?

[MissHoneychurch]

173. Yes he got the job

he has an interview for another job tomorrow and then he will decide which job he takes. Both have their plus and minus.

Actually I am thinking about finding a job and moving to London. I started to apply. Now I need to get lucky in that direction as well. I will only move to London when I have a job. I want to be independant and able to support myself in case something goes wrong with M.

[tjwmason]

192. Great news Miss Honeychurch.

I would say that all of the good vibes worked - but I'm sure it's just because he's a great guy.

You're thinking of moving over here too? That would be marvellous - and as you're German no legal issues (in theory at least) :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

194. Oh yes, those Lounge vibes work for sure

And yes, he is a great guy. He knows what he wants and is achieving his goals.

Yes, thank goodness for the European Union. :)

[Callalily]

207. That sounds like

an excellent plan on your part MissH. Wishing you success on your job hunt.

Also sending good vibes for your sweetie on his job decisions. Guess he'll just have to weigh all his options concerning the job offers, and try to choose the one that best fits his needs.

[MissHoneychurch]

208. Thank you

I know it will be a while till I find a library that is willing to employ a German. I will see how it goes.

[tjwmason]

10. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Sounds like you had a good week-end - must have been a pleasant change to have two days off.

I'm in a work-mode and so have got Bach organ works on shuffle, they're excellent to work to, can go on for ages and ages and ages, and on shuffle one has no idea which is coming next.

:hug:

[billyskank]

20. Morning mason

:hi:

[tjwmason]

42. Good morning billy.

:hi:

How's things with you - is your weather as crappy and rainy as it is here?

[billyskank]

53. I am quite well, thanks mason

It is indeed rather grey and dreary here. :)

[tjwmason]

83. Whatever the weather

You're a big ray of sun-shine for the rest of us. :hug:

[billyskank]

88. LOL

First outrageous compliment of the week :hug:

[tjwmason]

96. Plenty more where that came from too.

:D :hug:

[swimboy]

182. Must get coffee

:hangover: I'll get with you soon when I get to work. :hug: (I may get my new computer today :bounce: )

[Clintmax]

27. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
Yes, we had a very good weekend, Greekspeak and I! It's rare enough for those of us in retail to even GET a weekend off that I very much enjoy it every time I do! I love to put my music on shuffle also, for that very reason!

[tjwmason]

47. I rarely have music on shuffle.

Because most is comprimsed of multi-track pieces. If a symphony has three movements, for example, each will be set as a separate track and the system won't play them all in order.

[Clintmax]

50. Oh, wow...yes I can understand that.

I'm glad I don't have any music that is made up like that...in movements. Everything is between 2 and a half to 7 minutes long. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

85. I just need something that can shuffle in groups.

I set all of the Bach organ works as their own genre which means that I can do it with them (they're all single movement works).

[Clintmax]

90. Couldn't you do that with all of them?

That way you COULD shuffle but still hear all the movements before it moves to the next set.

[tjwmason]

94. I don't think so.

Because I'd want to hear the 3 movements (say) of a work in order, before moving onto another (randomly chosen) piece to hear its movement in order, and so forth.

[Clintmax]

109. What you need to do is get some DJ software...

so you can mix the tracks together into one long track. That way you can run your music like you want. That's what I do with all my music too. :bounce:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

28. Hail, Starbucks!

:hi:
How are things, man?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. They're okay.

Like usual. :D

[Clintmax]

52. Well see that's good!

:bounce:
Any word on your Screen Play?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

57. This week, I'm going to finalize it.

For all intents and purposes, it's already done, but I just need to review it one more time before I start shopping it around.

[Clintmax]

63. Oh, OK.

It's quite a process, huh?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

64. Yep.

I finished it a week ago, but needed to take a week off, since I was going to puke if I had to look at it any longer.

:D

[Clintmax]

68. LOL! I can imagine.

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

91. Good morning Starbucks

are you ignoring me these days? :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

97. No, I am not, my little Nazi.

:hide:

[MissHoneychurch]

101. Please don't use that word with me

it is offensive to me.

Other than that: Good :D

How are you doing today?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

106. I kid, I kid!

:hug:

I'm okay.

[MissHoneychurch]

110. I know you are kidding

but I am sensitive about that. Just saying.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

115. Okay, I'm sorry.

:cry: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

127. OK. enough of that

:hug:

Anything else you wanna call ... uh ... tell me :D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

130. I haven't been ignoring you, BTW.

I think we just keep missing each other. :hi:

EDIT: You should know by now that I usually say stupid things. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

139. I am here all morning

since 9am my time. AND I posted two threads. Both you didn't reply to. Now what am I supposed to think about that? :mad:







:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

146. What's 9am your time in California?

I work during the evenings over here, too. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[MissHoneychurch]

153. Minus 9 hours

The math you can do yourself :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

170. So that would be noon here.

I was asleep. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

175. No, you are nine hours behind me

you aren't good at math :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

179. That's what I meant.

I was asleep at 12pm my time. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

184. Is 12pm Midnight or noon?

I am getting confused :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

185. Is 12pm Midnight or noon?

I am getting confused :shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

186. LOL!

:rofl:

12pm is noon! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

189. Then you are wrong

9am my time is midnight for you

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

193. D'oh!

You're right, but at least I know that 12pm is noon. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

195. I know it also

you just got me confused. It is all your fault :cry:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

198. Sure, blame the brown guy.

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

201. I always blame the others

no matter what color :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

202. Sure...

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

203. You don't believe me?

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

204. I never believe you.

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

205. ...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

206. ...

:hug:

[billyskank]

18. Hi Clint

:hi:

[Clintmax]

29. Hail, Billy!

:hi:
Did you have a good weekend, my friend?

[billyskank]

39. Yes, quite good thanks

:)

[Clintmax]

56. I'm glad!

That makes the day go by so much better! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

134. Hi billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: How are things with you?

[billyskank]

138. AirmensMOM!!

:bounce: :loveya: :hug: :hi: :D

I am okay thanks! How are you?

[AirmensMom]

144. Good to see you!

:bounce: :loveya: :hug: I'm so busy, I think my fingers may fall off. Every day I get a little more done, but I surely don't know how the movers thought they were going to pack up this house in two days. :shrug:

[Wetzelbill]

34. Good morning, Clint

I am not ready to start the week. I'm ready to go back to bed, but I probably won't be able to do so. :) Typical.

You can't go wrong with Tracy and Hepburn.

I own a Hepburn film. Lion In The Winter. It's awesome, she won an Academy Award for her performance. :)

[Mutley]

37. Morning Bill!

:hi: :hug:

[Wetzelbill]

69. Hey Muts!

Good morning!

[Mutley]

72. Morning good Sir.

How are you this lovely fine day?

[Wetzelbill]

78. tired

probably going to watch a little bit of The Sopranos on DVD, maybe see if I can crash out for a few more hours. Oh who am I kidding, I'll still be up until about noon, haha.

[Mutley]

80. Well aren't you mister lucky?

I have class all day. :P

[Wetzelbill]

107. I am so glad I finished last week

I am beyond sick of school. :)

[Mutley]

133. You're telling me.

I still have to take two classes in July before I graduate. x(

[Wetzelbill]

137. yeah but I'm 75 years old

or somewhere around there. I'll finish about the same time I should be retiring. :)

[Mutley]

149. 75, eh?

:P

[Wetzelbill]

162. maybe it just feels like it

:silly:

[Clintmax]

43. Hail, Bill!

:hi:
Monday does that you know...arrives whether we're ready for it or not. :rofl: I feel that way sometimes too. I agree about Hepburns films! LOVE THEM! :bounce:

[Wetzelbill]

75. nothing beats old school films

I have been on a quest to watch the top 100 AFI films of all time. I actually have slacked off quite a bit, I have about 20 left or so, but, man, some of those ones like "The African Queen" or "the Philadelphia Story." It just doesn't get any better.

You know, one film I watched that had a profound impact on me was "Giant" with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor and directed by George Stevens. I was obsessed with it for several months. I kept renting it, then finally I just bought the damn thing, haha.

[Clintmax]

79. Yes, some of them are great!

I own Giant also and it's a great film...but I can't say I've obsessed over it.

[Wetzelbill]

118. I'm a farm hick

and a former rodeo competitor, so the ranch thing had me enthralled. That and I am deeply interested in minority and gender roles in society. Giant just happened to hit me on all of those cylinders.

Anything to do with some type of prejudice and the role of the oppressed damn near mesmerizes me. I think minority, gender and gay and lesbian issues are all interrelated in that way. I find it all fascinating. Those are worthy things to fight for too. :)

[Clintmax]

120. I think so too!

They ARE worthy to fight for! :bounce: I didn't know you were a rodeo cowboy! That's awesome, man! :bounce:

[Wetzelbill]

141. many moons ago

when I was younger and much dumber I used to ride bulls. :)

[Clintmax]

150. I was asked in the past to be a bull rider...

"You've got the perfect build for it, Man!" they kept telling me! "Ummm...no." says I! :rofl: But I sure did enjoy watching the bull riders!

[Wetzelbill]

166. they had a penchant for my blood

:)

Writing is much safer. I wrestled too. And, yes, I found writing is much safer than that as well. :)

[Clintmax]

168. LOL! I'm sure you did!

:rofl:
Both aren't very conducive to ones health.

[sbj405]

51. Howdy, Clint!

I don't wanna go to work :-(

[Clintmax]

54. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
I don't either. I want two more days off, dammit! But I don't guess we have a choice do we? :hug:

[sbj405]

59. No, I have too much to do this week. But then . ..

Vacation :bounce:

[Clintmax]

65. YAY for Vacation!

:bounce::woohoo:
That means that this week is going to crawl along you know. :rofl:

[Minnesota Libra]

98. Morning all - hope everyone is doing fine and looking forward to..........

.....to a new week. It's supposed to clear up around here and we might just get to see a glimpse or two or that bit glowing orb in the sky. It's been awhile since we've seen that thing but I'm looking forward to at least checking it out again.:bounce:

Be good to each other and try to win a new one from the dark side today. Shouldn't be hard these days with the boy king's numerous screw ups.:rofl:

[Clintmax]

102. Hail, Minnesota!

:hi:
I totally agree mister! It shouldn't be hard to win some over cause of chimpy boys screw ups! I hope you have a great week!

[Droopy]

99. Hi, everybody

Thanks for putting me on the list, Clintmax. I enjoy y'all's company.

[Clintmax]

111. Hello, hello, Droppy!

Welcome to the Early Morning Crew! :bounce: And you're welcome! We enjoy your company too! HOw was your weekend?

[Droopy]

117. My weekend was liesurely

Didn't do a dman thing Saturday but fool around on the computer and watch basketball. Sunday I spent some time with mom and went to see my cousin who was in town taking some time off from his Navey gig. Then I watched more basketball and dozed on the couch. I'd had kind of a rough week and it was a nice way to spend the weekend.

[Clintmax]

124. You bet it is!

If I have a hard week like that, I do the same thing. It feels good to take the time off like that! I'm not a basketball fan though...it would have to be football for me! :bounce:

[riona]

104. Fl check-in

Morning Clint. I like making my own CD too - guess I'm more into Celtic/New Age. The 99 cents a song has been great. Now I'm not stuck with buying the whole CD which usually has several songs I don't care for. Have a good Monday.

[Clintmax]

113. I LOVE those too!

Celtic/New Age is one of my favorite genres too! I have several CD's made up with those too! I hope you have a great Monday too! :bounce:

[Callalily]

122. Morning Clint!

Glad to hear that you and Greekspeak had a good weekend. Mine was fine. Went to a jazz concert Saturday night. Very nice They did several original pieces that I just loved. And . . . they were so new they didn't have a name for them yet.

Ahhhhh . . . flowers for your mom, how nice. I was in a bit of a melancholy mood the last few days thinking about mom's day, and not having a mom. Additionally, a group of my friends and I always do this fund raiser walk/run for cancer. We do it in memory of one of our friends. We had his picture silk screened on the back of our shirts as a tribute, but whenever one of my buddies was in front of me, I could see his picture and became sad. But life does go on doesn't it.

Love the movie Desk Set Actually, I have quite an affinity for those old sappy movies. Maybe that's why I like old jazz too.

[Clintmax]

129. Good Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I'm so proud of you for taking part in the walk/run for cancer! :hug: I can certainly understand that seeing a friends face who's passed away like that during the walk would make you sad. At least you're trying to DO something about it. :hug:

I was actually surprised to find Desk Set on DVD. I never expected to find it anywhere.

[Callalily]

147. Yeah, we've been

doing it for a couple of years now. It is a nice tribute, and you're right, it's definitely for a good cause.

Hepburn and Tracy sure were a winning combination. Hahahaha, should schedule in some old movie viewing time. Well, the way our weather has been (cold and rainy) now certainly would be the perfect time.

[Clintmax]

151. Yes, if the weather isn't good...

that's the perfect thing to do!

[Callalily]

163. Hmmmm . . .

yes, and some fresh popped popcorn with real butter. Ah, now I wish that I would have taken the day off. Would have been the perfect day to just settle into a bit of cocooning with some old sappy movies.

[Clintmax]

169. Oooo...yes, that sounds like a lot of fun!

I wish I could do that too!

[newyawker99]

123. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[Clintmax]

131. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Here's to a good week for both of us! :toast:

[AirmensMom]

126. Good morning Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Sounds like you're ready to start the week! :bounce: I'm glad your Mom liked the flowers. It was sweet of you to send them. :loveya:

We had a nice day. Harleydad made us take a day off from packing and we went on a picnic at the park. We were going to go to the beach, but apparently everyone else had the same idea and it was impossible to find parking. My girls both called and said something's on the way ... and they sent a pile of e-cards meanwhile. I also talked to my grandson. :loveya: He's as cute as can be. :loveya:

We got the kitties new harnesses, leashes, tags, and carriers for the trip. They don't like any of them, but you know how cats are. :rofl: Have you seen the machine they have at Petsmart that engraves tags? It's pretty neat. :bounce:

Today is Mom's last full day here. She leaves tomorrow morning. She seems to like helping with the packing, so I'm going to let her do more today. I think we're both going to be pretty tired by the time we're done. But she agrees it'll be good if I get packed up early so I can get a good long rest before having to make the drive to TN.

[Clintmax]

136. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you got to take a day off from all that packing! :bounce: It's good to get away from it once in a while! Yes, I've seen the machine that makes tags for pets...I thought about using it, but I just haven't. I'm happy to hear it does a good job! Your Mom's right...it'll be good to get some good rest before you make that humongus trip north! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

160. And I panicked when I couldn't find something.

Harleydad bought me a John Deere baseball hat (b/c he wants to buy a tractor) and it was different than the others. But I had no idea where it was and didn't remember packing it. We looked all over the place and I was hating the moving thing for a bit. But he found it inside my motorcycle helmet. :rofl: The funny thing is that I don't even wear hats! I just didn't like that it was missing.

That machine does a GREAT job! We've had lots of tags made before and these were probably the best ones. You get to say what to put on each line and you watch it go. It took a little while to do four of them, but it was interesting. We spent a bundle of money on the critters! You should have seen Sashka with her harness on ... it suddenly paralyzed her. She absolutely couldn't move, even though it was on very loosely. :rofl: The rest of them decided it wasn't worth getting all upset about. :rofl:

When harleykid called, she said we're going to have some "Mom and me" time when I get up there. :bounce: Less than three weeks to go! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

172. It's funny how something like a lost cap can upset us like that!

That happens to me all the time too! HATE THAT! :rofl: Cats are so funny. She was totally paralyzed, huh? Silly cat! :rofl: I'm sure you'll enjoy your time with your daughter! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

180. Actually, I wondered if there was more.

And I just didn't miss it yet. I've been VERY careful to write long lists on the boxes so I'll know exactly what's in them and I thought I was losing it. Phew!

OK, she wasn't TOTALLY paralyzed, but close enough. She sat like a heap on the floor and crawled on her belly for a few inches before giving up. :rofl: Then she thought she could get it off if she rolled over a few times ... looked like a little alligator. :rofl:

Hey, this is weird. I'm looking out the window and it's sprinkling -- just enough so I can see it in the puddles that are already there. But there's not a cloud in the sky! :shrug: Am I dreaming?

[Clintmax]

188. LOL!

Like I said...cats are funny! I'm sure you were laughing your butt off at her too! I would have been! :rofl: Isn't it strange when it rains like that? Isn't that called "sunshowers"? :shrug:

[AirmensMom]

196. It's like being in the twilight zone.

Especially since I'm only half awake! :rofl: I forgot they were called sunshowers! I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere else. :shrug:

I just read all the e-cards from the kids. Even one of the boys sent one! :bounce: And my grandson -- he's funny. He talks quite well now but can't type very fast, so he tells his mom what he wants to say and she types it. I can imagine hearing him when I read it. :loveya: Yesterday he told me that he sent me a zoo. :rofl: But he was GOING to the zoo! :rofl:

Guess I should get my behind in gear pretty soon. Another busy day ahead. :( Thanks for chatting with me. I'll be able to stay a little longer after tomorrow. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

199. It's time for me to go too.

I'm STARVING! Plus, it's starting to storm out there and the thunder is LOUD! :scared: Try to have a good day and I'll talk to you more tomorrow! :hug::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

200. OK.

You have a good day, too. I hope the storm stops soon. :loveya: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

152. Hi Airmensmom...

It's good to see you! Jessie has the bone tag with all her pertinent info on it. My son loves watching it engrave the tag, so we get a new one about once every six months. :) :hug:

[AirmensMom]

165. Hey MrsG!

You still working on getting that house ready? When's it going on the market?

I like the bone tag ... but it's too big for our little kitties. We had to get the smallest ones. And we put my cell phone number on them since our new phone isn't hooked up yet. I'll be getting new ones as soon as we get up there.

:loveya: :hug:

[Cannikin]

155. Howdy gang! Hope everybody is doing great

[Clintmax]

157. Hail, Cannikin!

:hi::bounce:
Good to see you today, Buddy! Here's to a good week for ALL of us! :toast:

[tjwmason]

161. Good morning Cannikin.

:hi:

Great to see you today.

All's good here - and I hope it is with you as well.

:hug:

[Cannikin]

164. Aside from dealing with the fact that its Monday, I'm doing great!

[swimboy]

171. Morning, Cannikin!

:hi:

Yeah, Monday's calling. I have a let's get through it attitude, but I could have a worse attitude if I applied myself. I'll get some coffee soon and things will start to focus.

Have a great week, man!

[tjwmason]

174. Thank goodness we only get Monday once per week.

I'm partially over the whole Monday thing - it took an awful lot to drag me out of bed first thing, but after coffee and tea we're getting there...sort of.

Hope all goes splendidly well for you.

B.T.W. I saw the pic of you and your mother - a more charming and elegant pair it would be hard to imagine.

:loveya:

[swimboy]

177. Good morning, Clintmax!

:hi: You did a nice, good son thing, there! :hug: We have the in-laws staying with us so mr. swim and I fixed Sunday dinner for our four parents. Having them all together is fun and a little nerve-wracking at the same time. :dilemma:

Have a great Monday! :hug:

[Clintmax]

178. Good Morning, Swimboy!

:hi::hug:
Wow...all four parents there at the same time! I can't even imagine that! :scared: I hope you have a good week also, my friend! :loveya:

[tjwmason]

183. Good morning mon cher ami swimboy.

:hi:

Sounds like you had a good week-end.

:hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

191. Good morning swimboy

:hi:

All four parents at once? You and Mr.Swimboy must have a lot of patience :rofl:


:hug:

[swimboy]

209. Hello, MissHoneychurch!

Yes, having them all together can be very pleasant, but then later I realize I had my jaw clenched tight the whole time and I want to take a nap!

I'm going to go upthread and read about your adventures and look for your pictures too!

:hi: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

197. Time to go have breakfast, my crew!

I had a great time this morning! :bounce: I hope you did too! Take care of each other, and I'll see you tomorrow! :grouphug:

[bigwillq]

210. Hey Clint!

Good morning! :hi:

[tjwmason]

211. Good morning Will.

:hi:

Hope everything goes well for you today.

[bigwillq]

212. And the same to you!
