Good Tuesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I hope you had a good day yesterday! We made it through it, though so that's something. :rofl: And now that the dreaded Monday is over, the rest of the week should be easy!

I spent an hour with tech support at Roxio trying to get Easy MEdia Creator 8 installed and we tried many different things...with no results. x( In the end, the tech dude had no idea why it wouldn't work. He wants me to speak to one of the software developers who actually wrote EMC8 to see if they have any ideas, so I guess today, that's what I get to do when I get off work. This should be interesting.

And so another work day begins! Are you ready to get started? Time to rise and shine, my crew! :bounce:

2. Good morning Clintmax!

Not ready...yet. ;)

[Clintmax]

4. Good Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
You're NOT??? :rofl: Well...it's time to GET ready! :bounce::rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Heehee. I need a swift kick in the pants today.

I've got a busy day. :) :hug:

Plus side, weather's warming up! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

13. We all need that sometimes...

Consider yourself kicked! :rofl: I'm glad to hear your weather is warming up! It's been above 90 every day for a while down here in Florida now, so I'm glad to see that too! :bounce::loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Wow! Is it humid? We went to Florida in October once, and I was

amazed at the humidity.

[Clintmax]

37. Oh, yes....humidity is always high down here...

But it doesn't bother me. I like it hot!

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. I used to hate humidity, but I find it therapeutic now. It really helps my

joints the hotter it gets. :) :hug: ****Today's the Day**** We haven't backed out yet! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

54. And so, knowing that....are you moving where it's warmer?

Today's the day, huh? :woohoo::bounce: *crosses my fingers for ya*

[ScreamingMeemie]

71. Sadly, my husband's job dictates that we stay here for awhile.

We almost moved to WA last year, but decided against. Someday we'd like to retire to KY or TN...MrG is from there. :hi:

[Clintmax]

79. Ah, I see.

Well, I hope you get to move to one of those states sometime! :hug: We LOVE it down here in Florida, even though they are predicting a big hurricane season again this year.

[tjwmason]

25. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

Hope that you bounce into action soon - it took me ages to get going today as well.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Ha! Cross posting!

I let myself get stressed out over a less than polite loan officer yesterday, and am exhausted because of it today. :) :hug: I was sorry to hear you have a cough. Allergies? or cold? or just cough? Regardless of the cause, I hope you feel better soon.

[Robbie Michaels]

3. Good Morning Y'all

I just finished posting a controversial post on my WordPress blog, I'm reading the latest news and I'm winding down with my favorite Pantera MP3s before I go to bed.

Have a nice day, Morning Crew!

[Clintmax]

8. Good Morning, Robbie!

:hi:
Sounds like you're having a good wind down time! Thanks for stopping in and saying Hello! HAve a good rest! :hi:

[Mutley]

5. Morning Clint.

:hug: :loveya:

I'm sorry you can't get your software to work.

[Clintmax]

9. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
Yes, it's been a trial just to get the thing to install! I think, in the end, they're just going to have to refund my money. :shrug: I hate it when software does this. How was your Monday?

[Mutley]

12. It was alright.

I turned in a paper, and took an exam. I'm down to my last exam this morning. :woohoo:

Then I'm free until my summer classes.

[Clintmax]

39. YAY!

How long do you have between? Hopefully at least 2 weeks! :bounce:

[Mutley]

46. Oh yes.

I have two July classes. I don't understand the people who took the June classes -- giving themselves almost no time off at all. :silly:

I'm going to spend June applying (and hopefully interviewing) for a job. It just hit me a couple days ago that I could go anywhere. As in... *anywhere*. I've never been in a position where I wasn't stuck somewhere for some reason before. :o :D

[Clintmax]

57. THAT'S a great feeling, isn't it?

:bounce:
Any idea what you're gonna do or where you're gonna go?

[Mutley]

65. I have no idea.

:scared:

I posted my resume on a few jobsites and listed about 20 different places to which I'd be willing to relocate. Then I plan to keep an eye on the papers for those areas as well. We'll see what happens.

[Clintmax]

81. Well I wish you all the luck in the world, my dear!

Where would you LIKE to go? That's the question? Me? I vote for Rome, Italy! :rofl:

[Mutley]

87. If I could go anywhere in the world? Probably Ireland.

If I had to stay in the States I'd probably go north somewhere -- New England. Maybe out to the West Coast.

[Clintmax]

96. I've never been up north to New England...

But I'm sure it's beautiful up there! :bounce:

[Mutley]

102. I've visited most of the New England states

but haven't lived there since New York for a breif period when I was very young. It is beautiful and the weather suits me. I love snow. :D

[Clintmax]

110. YUCK! Not me!

Had my fill of snow and ice! Now that I'm in Florida...no more for me! :bounce:

[Mutley]

116. Then Florida suits you.

:D

[Clintmax]

119. Yep! It sure does!

And if you like snow...New England suits YOU! :bounce:

[Mutley]

126. It does.

Which is why I'm not sure why I'd consider moving to the West Coat. They don't get a lot of snow out there except in the mountains.

[Clintmax]

127. That and lots of earthquakes.

:rofl:
It's fun to visit...but I don't think I'd want to MOVE there either.

[Mutley]

137. You're right about that.

Hmmm. :think: :D

[Clintmax]

139. Sorry...LOL!

Didn't mean to throw THAT rock into the gears. Just spank me! :rofl:

[Mutley]

143. No, that is definately something to consider.

:D

[Clintmax]

148. I guess.

You know...every place has something. Florida has hurricanes, California has earthquakes, the midwest has tornados, on and on and on.

[Mutley]

163. Except Maryland.

We really don't get much extreme weather here. But I really don't want to stay here. :D

[tjwmason]

27. Good morning Mutley.

:hi:

How did it go yesterday? (If I'm allowed to ask.)

:hug:

[Mutley]

30. Morning tj!

Of course you're allowed to ask. It went well. The test was easier than I thought it would be.

How are you this morning? :hug:

[tjwmason]

60. See the Conqueroring hero come.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I'm good today, took a long time to get me going but once I finally rolled out of bed at half past eight and had a shower the body did eventually get into action.

[Mutley]

70. Lucky.

I wish I could sleep 'til 8. x(

It seems I wake up naturally earlier and earlier all the time.

[In_The_Wind]

51. Good morning mutley_r_us.

Did you finish writing the project you were working on the other day?

[Mutley]

58. Morning Joan!

Yes I did, and I turned it in yesterday. :D

[In_The_Wind]

86. Do you have more to do before the end of school?

Yea! I'm glad that's over. Now you'll have more time to be with us.

[Mutley]

91. I have one more test this morning,

then I am finished until July. :woohoo:

[In_The_Wind]

113. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job on this morning's test. Good Luck!

Do you have any plans for the summer?

[Mutley]

117. Just deciding where I'd like to relocate

and searching for job. I'm taking two July classes before I graduate in August. :woohoo:

Hey, you're going out to California before long, right?

[In_The_Wind]

129. I'll be leaving for the coast in a little over one month from now.

It should be a wonderful experience!

What will you be studying in July?

AND where are you thinking about moving? :woohoo:

[Mutley]

134. I'm thinking either New England or the West Coast.

:silly:

My classes will be Advanced Creative Writing and Writing Fiction. Easy stuff. :D

Give all the DUers you'll be meeting a hug for me, especially yourself. :)

[In_The_Wind]

145. It sounds like you saved the best for last. Scheduling things like that

really is the best way of being good to yourself. :yourock:

What type of career will you be entering?

Oh Yeah I'll be sure to give all the DUers I meet an extra hug or two just from you. ;)

[Mutley]

162. Hopefully editing or publishing of some sort.

Or maybe writing for magazines or newspapers or something. My options are pretty wide open. I'd even teach if I could find a decent job doing that.

My classes just happened to work out that way. I got lucky. :D

[In_The_Wind]

167. Maybe it was luck.

It sounds like you have done an excellent job of giving yourself several interesting options.
Sometimes it's luck and sometimes it's karma. :D

[SeattleGirl]

85. Joani baby!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

106. SeattleGirl

It's nice to see you this morning!

[SeattleGirl]

111. Nice to see you too, sweet stuff!

Smoochies to you, baby! :* :* :*

[Heidi]

6. Mornin', sunshine!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

10. Good Morning, Miss Heidi!

:hi::hug::loveya:
Oh, my goodness, it's good to see you this morning! :bounce::woohoo: How've you been, my dear?

[Heidi]

15. Good to see you, too,

my friend! :hug: :loveya: :pals:

All is OK here. CMW, The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger and I send our love to you, Greekspeak and Tony. :hug:

[Clintmax]

40. Awww...that's so sweet!

Thank you, all of you! :hug::loveya: I miss having you and CMW here in the Early Morning threads with me! :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

90. Heidi love!!!

Nice to see you! How you been???? :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :*

[Heidi]

98. There you are!!!!!!!!

:loveya: :*SMOOCH!:* :loveya:

I'm fine! How're you? How's your mom? :hug: :pals:

[SeattleGirl]

112. Smoochies, gf!

:* :* :*

Mom's doing well right now. Thank you so much for asking, love. :loveya:

[Robeson]

11. Hey Clintmeister!...

...beautiful pic, btw. It is always a pain when new software just want install. Hope you get it worked out...:toast:

[Clintmax]

18. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
Thank you for the photo compliment! AirmensMom actually took and posted it and I fell in love with it too! She gave me permission to use it in the early morning crew threads, so we have HER to thank for taking such a beautiful picture!

Hopefully...once I talk to one of the developers, we can get it resolved...but personally, I think they are going to have to refund my money. We've tried so many different things, I can't imagine we've missed something. :shrug:

[Random_Australian]

14. Morning!

[Clintmax]

19. Hail, Random!

:hi:

[Random_Australian]

21. The first steps in bringing good manners to all DU are bieng made!

Soon there will be the (hopefully) beginning of the end of using mental illness as an insult :grr: Me 'n Buff are working on it.

[Clintmax]

43. Good for you!

If anyone can help you with THAT trek, Miss Buffy can! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

59. yup yup yup. Looking forward to it. Anyway, how goes life outside the

puter?

[Clintmax]

62. It's good, Mate.

I had a relaxing time yesterday and I'm all rested up to begin working again today! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

67. g2g, math to do. Sorry.

Hope you have a nice day!

[Clintmax]

83. I hope you have a good day too, Random!

:hi:
Talk to you tomorrow morning!

[tjwmason]

77. Sometimes it appears that crassness transcends the political spectrum.

Good for you for kicking this part of it out of D.U.

[Random_Australian]

80. Thanks! Not just me. I'll certainly need Buffy along the way.

g2g math to do have a nice day.

[NMMNG]

16. Good morning Clint!

Did you try returning the software to the store? Perhaps it could just be defective. :shrug:

My Monday was mundane. After getting off work I went home and slept. Then I got up, showered/groomed/dressed. I cleaned the bathroom, did my laundry, went to the grocery store, had dinner then went to work again. Party down!

[Clintmax]

24. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
No, I haven't tried to return it to the store...in fact, we haven't even discussed that in my conversations with the tech people. I know I can't return it for a refund...but they would allow an exchange for the same thing. I guess that's worth a try!

I had about the same kind of Monday. I did laundry also and had a relaxing time in between! Like you said...PARTY DOWN! :woohoo::rofl:

[NMMNG]

42. Yeah, they never give you a refund on software

But an exchange is possible. At least that will let you know if it's defective or some other problem.

Now tonight I get to have the fun of putting all of my furniture back in place (it's been in the center of my bedroom because I was repainting). Happy, happy, joy, joy.

[Clintmax]

47. Ah, painting...

been there and done that! I like to change around the furniture sometimes. Are you going to put it back the way it was or are you going to try a new layout?

[NMMNG]

63. Originally I was just going to put it back as it was

But last night I was thinking it might be nice to rearrange it. I was trying to think of some way to put my bed where I'd least be disturbed by noise (me being a day-sleeper and all). I finally decided to put it on the wall opposite from where it had originally been, since that's not against an outside wall. Now that I know where to put the bed I'll just figure out the rest from there. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

68. That's a good idea.

One of the places we lived in Missouri was right on one of the busiest streets in Springfield and our bedroom window opened to that street. We got used to the noise though. I'm sure you'll like it better if you move your bed away from there.

[NMMNG]

82. I was having a problem with the light

I had to take my blinds down and now it's too bright with just the curtains. Then I remembered this wonderful eye mask someone gave me several years ago. I use that now and have instant nighttime.

[Random_Australian]

28. Mornin Buff, how are you?

[NMMNG]

44. Full of piss, vinegar and parsley.

And you? :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

56. Sleepy with maths to do.

But fairly good. It has been unbelievably cold today, I don't think it got above 60 F.

EDit: g2g math to do sorry. Hope you have a nice day.

[NMMNG]

73. We had a very cold night

It was somewhere in the upper 30's during the wee hours of the morning, and it's only 43 right now. I'm really looking forward to warmer weather.


I certainly don't envy you having to do all that math, but then that was always my worst subject. x(

[SeattleGirl]

94. Buffy baby!!!!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[NMMNG]

101. Hey GF!!!

[SeattleGirl]

118. Buffy!!!! Many smoochies to you, gf!

:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :*

Hope all is well with you, baby! :loveya:

[NMMNG]

122. Things are just fine

How are you doing? :grouphug:

[SeattleGirl]

124. Well, other than being totally f-ed up

by menopause, I'm cool!

[NMMNG]

176. That's something I'm anticipating with mixed emotions

On the one hand I'll not have the mess and hideous cramps from my waist to my toes every month.

On the other hand I'll have the unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause for however long that goes on.

Being a woman is so much fun! :sarcasm:

[In_The_Wind]

20. Hi Y'all!

I'm just going to see if the coffee is ready yet. I'll be right back, I promise.
I'm real sorry your having problems with Roxio. Is there a limit on returns for this product?

[Clintmax]

26. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
I need a refill on my coffee too...I'll be right back too! I know I can't return it to Best Buy...so Roxio will have to credit me back if there is a complete return...when is what I think will happen after all is said and done.

[In_The_Wind]

38. I'm sorry to hear that about Best Buy. Would you consider a replacement?

[Clintmax]

49. I might...

after I talk to the developer, I'll know more about what I have. If its a computer problem, then no. If not...then absolutely!

[In_The_Wind]

100. Good luck! I hope it's nothing to do with your computer.

Maybe the program has a glitch.

[Clintmax]

104. Well, it's brand new...so it's possible...

I'll know more after I talk to this guy.

[In_The_Wind]

115. What is this wonderful software supposed to do when it's working?

[Clintmax]

121. Oh, my goodness...everything!

It's media software...it makes DVD's, edits and works with photos, makes audio, creates movies from clips and pictures...everything!

[In_The_Wind]

131. WOW! It sounds like lots of fun!

And very complicated. I hope you're able to work out having it because I'd love to see your creations in a few months.

[Clintmax]

132. Well, you certainly will...

IF I can ever get the freakin thing to work! Computer problems, software or otherwise, are a pain the royal ass, let me just tell ya. x( Do you have any big plans today, my dear?

[In_The_Wind]

149. unpacking and repacking

I just checked the forecast for southern florida ~ there is a 60% chance of scattered showers every day for the next 10 days!

It sounds like we both have a few challenges before us. :(

[Clintmax]

152. No rain at all in NORTH Florida.

And we actually NEED it here. I hope it doesn't while you're there, Miss Joan! :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

161. Read it & weep ~ rain rain rain rain rain

My first trip back to Key West since I flew in to transport a boat north by water and it's gotta rain.
www.weather.com/outlook/health/airquality/tenday/USFL0225?from=36hr_topnav_aq
I hope there is a good movie rental place nearby.

[AirmensMom]

142. Good morning, Miss Joani!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Just a few more days ... :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

165. Only two more mornings waking up with Miss Frodo.

I wondered if we would be here together before my trip starts.

How is HarleyDad feeling today?

[AirmensMom]

168. He's doing better, thanks.

Still coughing up a storm, and still home, but better. :D :hug:

I'll be here tomorrow, too ... hopefully.

Right now, I'm looking for a pancake recipe online since I packed all my cookbooks. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

169. Good luck on making breakfast.

We didn't talk about the time for Saturday but there's rain & more rain on the way.
www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/boatandbeach/tenday/USFL0149?from=36hr_topnav_boat

[AirmensMom]

170. Done ... and it was DELICIOUS!

:9

What're you bringin' all that rain for? We've had gorgeous weather for months ... and NOW it's going to rain? x( Well, it's only 50% chance on Saturday. :shrug:

How did you do at the doctor's? What are you allowed to eat? :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

171. I did better than expected. My doctor knows I treat problems naturally.

My 2 hour fasting test showed a level of 134 which isn't great but it isn't horrendous. We need to avoid processed foods like white sugar, flour and rice. Whatever you fix won't throw either of us into any serious problems as long as you don't wave a slice of pineapple upside-down cake under my nose. x(

I guess you can blame the weather on me after all I did say I enjoy walking hand_in_hand through a warm rain. :)

[AirmensMom]

172. We'll just throw some steaks and veggies on the grill.

Sound good? And lots of iced tea. :D I don't know how to make pineapple upside-down cake, so not to worry! :rofl:

You see? It IS your fault! There will be plenty of warm rain here ... just watch out for those flashes in the sky. :D Looks like rain for packing day, too. I've NEVER moved in the rain and sure hope we get a break on the 2nd!

:loveya: :hug:

[tjwmason]

22. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Sounds like great fun - talking with tech support is always difficult.

All's well(ish) here - I managed to wangle some stronger cough medicine out of the pharmacist which put me to sleep last night.

I'm on Robert Carver's Mass Dum Sacrum Mysterium, incredibly intricately weaved voices - quite astounding.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Good morning tj!

I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well. :hug: Phenergan (sp?) with codeine helps knock coughs right out for me.

Hey! Mozart's Requiem for me today. Morbid mood and all. :loveya:

[tjwmason]

35. I'm fine really.

I don't do ill.

The cough only really comes on at night - so I wanted something which would calm the symptoms down and knock me out.

The Mozart Requiem is a true masterpiece - at one point I wanted it for my funeral :bounce: but then I get strangely excited and happy about funerals (yes mine is completely planned, despite the fact that I'm not even near 30 yet :eyes: ).

:hug: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. I knew there was a reason I liked you! I've done the same thing!

Call me morbid, but I did that when I got sick last year. I burned a CD of upbeat songs for my wake. And then one song that I absolutely adore. Forever Young by Alphaville. I also wrote letters to all those near and dear to me. I stopped short of a swan song post to have MrG post on DU. :rofl:

:hug: :loveya:

[tjwmason]

69. I don't think it's at all morbid.

I want the full trimmings, Latin Mass with oodles of Priests in black, incense so dense that nobody can see anything, some of the most astounding organ pieces ever written....:bounce: :bounce: Just a pity I'm not going to be there :eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

76. I'll let you know how it goes.

perhaps I'll even sneak a camera in. :rofl: Although, this Catholic girl is allergic to incense.

[Clintmax]

32. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I agree...tech support is always a little difficult to talk to. But, I know enough about computers that I can do anything they ask me to do. Nothing we did worked though. x( I'm glad you got some sleep last night...induced though it may have been! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

52. Sleep is the best thing for getting rid of colds.

It's not really a bother during the day. I take Beecham's Powders which have caffeine in them and so they give me a good kick :D

[Clintmax]

61. I always wondered about that Beecham's stuff...

does it work well? I never get sick, but if I do, I get REALLY sick.

[tjwmason]

89. It works well for me.

I know it's an old medicine - but it's what I always take for colds.

I'm the opposite, I tend to attract any cold within a vast radius - but in response I don't get it at all badly.

[Clintmax]

99. Hey, if it works for you...that's what matters!

I'm glad you found something that works so well.

[tjwmason]

123. I suspect that half of it is just the caffeine.

It gives the whole body a boost. :bounce:

The whole network here has practically died. Some silly fool in H.R. has sent out a health and safety e-mail which contained a dodgy link - so everybody in the company has been clicking on this jamming up the network :grr: This means the D.U. (and anything else on the internets) takes damn ages to load - it also means that I can't really work, because the stuff I'm supposed to be doing goes via the network to servers as well. :banghead:

[Clintmax]

125. Well hells bells!

I hate it when stuff like that happens. It's happend to our store servers too...so I know how you feel, TJ! It does suck...big time! :mad:

[khashka]

23. Hey Cap'n Clint!

Good morning!



Khash.

[Clintmax]

34. Hail, Khash!

:hi:
It's good to see you in the Early Morning Crew thread, Man! :bounce: I hope you're having a good night!

[tjwmason]

55. Hey there old bean.

Long time no see round here.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

36. Hello, hello, Starbucks!

:hi:
How's every little thing with YOU today?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. Pretty good.

I just watched the season finale of 24. :wow:

[Clintmax]

50. I never got into that show.

:shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

53. Watch the DVDs, damnit!

We had this conversation before! :P

[Clintmax]

64. I know, I know.

I just need a kick in the butt to do it! :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

78. There's no kick smiley, so here's a nuke.

:nuke:

:D

[Clintmax]

103. Even better, Man!

Nuke me! :rofl: Hmmm...there's GOT to be a kick smilie SOMEWHERE...let me look...

[Clintmax]

105. Found one!

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

109. Cool!

That wasn't listed on the table.

Now get to those DVDs, man! :D

[Clintmax]

114. No it isn't...

I had to go to a smilie website to find it. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

84. SA!!!!

:loveya: from SG!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

92. Hey, SG!

:loveya:

97. Hey sweets!

Nice to see you! Hope all is well with you, darlin'!! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

107. Pretty good.

Exactly one month from now, I will be finished with my current job.

:bounce:

A week after that, I'll be out of Los Angeles.

:D

[SeattleGirl]

120. Woohoo!!!!

Where you goin'? I now you said but I think I forgot. :blush:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

128. Seattle!

Naw, I'm kidding! :spank:

I'm going to NYC, baby!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

66. Good morning!

Guess what time I woke up?

[Clintmax]

72. Good Morning, Haruka!

:hi:
I dunno...4AM? 5AM? 2AM? :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

95. 11:55pm

I crashed out for a nap around 3pm. I woke up at 11:55pm. Hopefully, I will go to bed at a normal hour tonight and reset myself to a fairly normal schedule.

[Clintmax]

108. Wow...you've been up for a while then!

Yes, try to go to bed around 10 or 11 tonight, and then get up around 5. That'll reset your clock pretty damned quickly! You'll just have to withstand a rough day today is all.

[SeattleGirl]

74. Clintmax!!!!

Mornin' sweetie! Hadda good Monday where work was concerned. Got lots done, which is good!

Good pick for song of the day. Me, I cannot get away from listening to Neil Young's "Living With War" and Springsteen's "The Seeger Sessions". Hey, whatever speaks to us, right?

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

88. Good Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug::loveya:
It's good to see you today too, sweetie! :loveya: I'm glad you had a good Monday. If Monday is good, it seems the rest of the week is better too! I hadn't heard that song in a long time...you know it was used in one of the James Bond movies (I can't remember which. Octopussy?) And I've always liked it!

[riona]

75. Fl check-in

"Easy MEdia Creator"? This is turning out to be a nightmare. Exhausting. I'm done with the hurricane supplies. Forget the generator - too expensive and takes up too much room to store. Have a good one.

[Clintmax]

93. Hail, Flblu!

:hi:
Well, you're prepared! You know they're expecting a big hurricane season again this year...x(

[Callalily]

130. Good Morning Clint!

It not only is exasperating when software doesn't work, but look at all the time you've wasted. I think I hate that part the most. Oh well . . . nothing we can do about it.

Although my work week is going well, I can't wait until Friday. Then I can sleep in or at the very least post in my jammies with a hot cuppa java by my side.

[Clintmax]

133. Good Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I love to post in my jammies too, and do every morning! :rofl: Coffee next to me every time! :bounce: So, we're a pair you and I! I hate computer problems, software or otherwise, and you're right...the amount of time it takes to fix IS the worst part. :loveya:

[Callalily]

135. Yeah, I certainly

sympathize with you. When I first got this computer (a Dell and never again) I wasn't up and running for over a week. I finally had to take it to a local guys who was a trouble shooter for Dell. Most frustrating.

Anyway, on a more pleasant, today is going to be fantastic, weather wise that is. It's going to be sunny and warm, well warm for this part of Wisconsin in May, a whole whopping 71 degrees. But the sun part is making me happy already.

[Clintmax]

140. When it's sunny...

I'M happy too! We've been in the 90's for a while now so that's been a good thing! I hope it stays that way for ya, my dear! :bounce:

[Callalily]

144. Sad to say

but they are predicting thunderstorms tomorrow, so that's why I intend to take advantage of today. Heading down to the river after work for a nice row

[Clintmax]

147. I'm glad you can go rowing whenever you want to, my dear!

That must be SO nice! :hug:

[Callalily]

154. It's my summer passion

and will try not to get to boring about it. Anywhooooo, gotta grab my stuff and head for work. Wishing you a grand day and good luck on your software loading.

[Clintmax]

156. Thank you, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I hope you have a great day too, my dear! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

136. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Yeah, we got through Monday. Harleydad is still really sick but he managed to get to a doctor yesterday and get some meds. Harleykid is sick, too, and she sounds terrible on the phone. She saw a doctor yesterday, too. These two never get sick, so it's quite upsetting that they've both got it so bad.

The packing is almost done. I think I can finish it today. Just a little more to do in the kitchen.

I hope you get your Roxio figured out. I had a problem like that with iTunes installing and it was the strangest thing. I had an external sound card plugged in and it all worked fine when I took it out. It had me scratching my head for several weeks. :shrug:

How's Bandit doing?

[Clintmax]

138. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you this morning, my dear! :loveya: I'm sorry to hear you've got TWO sick family members on your hands now! :hug: Is something going around that I don't know about? Must be...

Well...packing is almost done! I'm sure you're happy about THAT! Packing is damned hard, I know! I'm wondering if it isn't something like my soundcard or DVD-RW drive or something too. Hopefully, I'll find out tonight.

Bandit's still using the floor in front of the box. x( I just don't know what to do about him...I guess he needs to go back to the vet. :shrug:

[AirmensMom]

141. I don't know.

And considering that they're 900 miles away from each other, I can't imagine how they caught the same thing. They don't know anyone else who's sick. :shrug:

I hope you'll tell us what the Roxio guys say. I'll be interested to know! :bounce:

Did you get the Cat Attract kitty litter for Bandit? Have you changed anything with his food lately?

[Clintmax]

146. Well, I hope both of them get to feeling better right away.

I'll certainly let you know what the Roxio guy says. But I just have a feeling it's going to be them refunding my money. No, we haven't changed his food at all. He loves what we feed him. And no, I have tried the Cat Attract litter yet. We need to though. Greekspeak just informed me that that the cat just used the floor AGAIN a few minutes ago. x( Now, I've got a mess to clean up again. :mad::grr:

[AirmensMom]

150. Oh, I am sorry.

That stinks ... literally! x( Get thee to the Petsmart and buy some Cat Attract. There's a good chance it'll solve the problem without seeing the vet. I know how frustrating it is b/c Sabrina did it for several months before we figured it out.

Here's a :hug: for you.

[Clintmax]

155. Awww...thank you!

I guess I better get off this computer and go clean that up, have breakfast and get ready for work. I have to be there shortly. I wish I could stay here longer with you today. :hug::hug::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

158. I have to go, too.

I hear harleydad stirring. It was good seeing you today. :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

160. It was good seeing you today too!

Talk to you in the morning! :hug:

[Clintmax]

159. I'll try to find the Cat Attract stuff...

and let you know how that goes too, my dear! Thanks again for that! I'll talk to you tomorrow! :loveya::hug::hi:

[Cannikin]

151. Good morning everyone!

[Clintmax]

153. Hail, Cannikin!

:hi::bounce:
Welcome to Tuesday morning, Dude! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

157. Time to go get ready for work, my crew!

I hope ALL of you have a great day today, and I'll let you know what the tech people from Roxio say in tomorrow's thread! Take care of each other! :grouphug: I'll see you tomorrow! :bounce::woohoo:

[Mutley]

164. Have a good day, Clint.

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

166. Have a wonderful day! Good luck with Roxio!

[bigwillq]

173. Hey Clint.

Good morning. Have a good one. :hi:

[tjwmason]

174. Good morning will.

:hi:

Hope all's good for you today.

[bigwillq]

175. Hope your day is good too.

I have another busy one. I may not have a day off this week. We are so busy.
