And, so a deep, dark depression fell over the cliques in The DU Lounge . .

[Floogeldy]

:cry:

[Broken_Hero]

1. And, Superman

uses his heat vision, to light the way...;)

"You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior, but everday I hear them crying for one"-Superman Returns....

[Heidi]

2. Hey!

That grey ghost next to your username looks good on you! :hi:

[Broken_Hero]

3. thanks...wish me luck

its my first go around...:) And I was just complaining about my DU bumper sticker the other day!...:)

[Floogeldy]

4. $29 for you to PM me the admin code.

:smoke:

[Broken_Hero]

6. what code??...

I'm new to this, buddy...I don't know shit!...:)

[Heidi]

14. It comes with your Moderator Decoder Ring after you complete

your DU Moderator Initiation Rites and Double Secret Probation. ;) (Not really. The Decoder Rings are pretend, too. :rofl: )

[Broken_Hero]

17. :(

no decoder rings? What kinda cracker jack outfit is this?..:) :toast:

[Heidi]

19. Hahahahaha!

Shoestring budget, remember? :P

[Broken_Hero]

21. yeah, yeah...:) n/t

[Heidi]

5. Good luck!

Race ya to the Mod Hot Tub! ;)

[Broken_Hero]

7. we got a hot tub??...:) n/t

[Heidi]

8. It's a _pretend_ hot tub.

Shoestring budget, you know. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

9. Ya'll can't afford a #3 washtub.

:shrug:

I will loan you mine.

[Heidi]

11. Will it hold 20+ people?

Or do we have to take turns? :rofl:

Hey, gf! :* :loveya:

[texanwitch]

13. It might hold 2 very friendly people.

Hi Heidi:hug: :pals:

[Heidi]

16. How's Texas tonight?

And how are Lil Monkey, Del and crew? :hug:

It's been 90° F. here the last few days, but we had a nice, longer thunderstorm last night, so it's much cooler this morning. *Whew!*

[texanwitch]

25. The animals are doing fine. Little Monkey is getting big, next week

I will take her to the vet to see if she is 2 lbs., if she is then her surgery will be soon. No kittens.

Ya'll are as hot there as here. This summer hasn't been that bad. Right now it is a nice cool 79, very cool outside.

I just get out in the heat, with my new hat. I don't like to get to used to AC, could loose it with a hurricane.

Does it always get that hot, 90 seems very hot for Europe.

[Heidi]

26. We're having an unusually hot summer.

But it does get warm in this part of Switzerland, because the southern, Italian-speaking part where we live has more of a Mediterranean climate. The good news is that although we don't have air conditioning, we have two really nice, quiet oscillating fans that have saved our lives and sanity the past couple of hot summers. :)

:hug:

[texanwitch]

28. My old house was built in 1930, so if I open the door a nice breeze

blows though the house, and with tall ceilings and a window fan I could make it without AC.

[Heidi]

29. I'd love to get a couple of ceiling fans.

Unfortunately, CMW has a kind of ceiling-fan-phobia. :scared: On the other hand, he could just be _saying_ that to avoid installing two ceiling fans. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

31. How tall is he. I think he might just be trying to do what you said.

I have ceiling fans, they do make a difference. I keep the AC at 78, with the ceiling fans, it feels cooler.

[Heidi]

32. He's 5'9".

I don't think there's a big danger of him getting whacked in the head by an evil ceiling fan. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

34. We all have our fears. I have been hit in the head by a ceiling fan but

I was on a ladder and didn't cut the fan off first.

Maybe you could suggest paying someone to put one in and see what happens.

[Heidi]

35. I could probably install it myself,

if it weren't for the electrical stuff and my own irrational fear of electrocution. :scared:

[texanwitch]

37. It isn't hard, I have watched my friend put them up.

You just have to make sure the power is off, and read the instructions.

I may try the next one, all I would have to do is take down the old one and put in the new one.

If you have a light fixture all ready, it doesn't take long.

I feel the same way about lighting the gas heater, don't like to do it.

[Broken_Hero]

10. that figures...

but my imagination is grand, so our hot tub looks pretty sweet...:)

[Heidi]

12. Call Me Wesley imagines it as a koi pond,

but that's just _him_. ;)

[Broken_Hero]

15. Koi Pond?

I will have to google that...

googled...foremost Carp fish...not gold fish.

http://www.vcnet.com/koi_net/intro.html

[Heidi]

18. Here's our koi pond:

And the koi family:

[Broken_Hero]

20. my uncle

out in seattle had one of these, i didn't know it was a Koi pond, I always called it uncle jims goldfish retreat...:)

[Heidi]

23. Our kois would refuse to eat if we referred to them as goldfish.

They're snooty like that. ;)

I love Missouri, by the way. My family used to vacation in the Ozarks every summer when I was a kid. :thumbsup:

[Broken_Hero]

24. Missouri is all right...

just a tad to hot, humid, warm, hot, and hot for me...:) I miss alaska at times, especially during the summer time, cause its, well, so damn hot here! If I had to live in texas, or arizona, I believe, I would die of a heat stroke....

[terrya]

64. Don't worry...I've told everyone I'm not wearing the Speedos this term.

There were some scared mods last term. :scared:

I'm looking forward to working with you. :-)

:hi:

[Placebo]

22. and they were all hit by lightening while mowing the lawn...

and listening to their iPods at the same time.

:smoke:

[LeftyMom]

30. I don't think it's fair to blame the lightning strike for his hearing loss

He was listening to Metallica, via earbuds, loud enough to hear over his lawn mower. His eardrums were not long for this earth in any case.

[Broken_Hero]

33. metallica, good choice in music..n/t

[LeftyMom]

36. Responsible for more than thier fair share of my own hearing loss

:)

[Broken_Hero]

38. same here

saw them at candlestick in august of 03...show was awesome, and the Deftones, took me by surprise...Deftones, are AWESOME live...

[LeftyMom]

40. I keep meaning to go see the Deftones

They did a free show at a park here a few months ago (they're from my town, so they play small venues here from time to time, and do poetry readings and shit) but I didn't have a sitter or anybody to go with. :(

I saw Metallica with Guns and Roses at the Oakland Colliseum but that was a looooooooooooong time ago.

[Broken_Hero]

42. Sac!

I lived in Sac for three years...:) Nice town, err...city, I mean...:) I lived in Valley Green, in North Highlands, mostly...

[LeftyMom]

44. Oh, I'm back in the south area after years in Arden.

Yeah, they did a free show at Cesar Chavez park before they left to tour this summer. I wanted to go really bad, but couldn't get the logistics worked out. :(

[Broken_Hero]

46. south area...

Arden, like Arden Way, near the mall? I didn't venture that way often. Most of my time in sac, I was broke...ever hear of Java City?

[LeftyMom]

47. Yeah, I was right over by Arden and Howe

Yeah, I've been to Java City. Not a coffee drinker (caffine does not make my body happy,) but since almost everybody else I know is, I wind up there sometimes.

[Broken_Hero]

49. damn

most of my friends work at java city, primarily at the warehouse...I can't remember what street it is on, but I know its by Arco Arena...:) Its been three years since I have been to sac. I miss it a lot, left a lot of good friends there...

[LeftyMom]

50. Next time you get to missing it, let me know

and I'll dig up the current weather and traffic report. That'll fix you right up. :)

[Broken_Hero]

51. nah, the heat usually does me in

in Sac...:) In...hmm, summer of 02, I believe, it was 114 degree's, to damn hot for me...and the traffic, is bad...not as bad as other cities, but its a pain. I hate Watt Avenue traffic! Arden Way, was pretty packed also...

[LeftyMom]

54. Arden's not too bad

since you can take Alta Arden to avoid the thick of it and El Camino runs paralell most of the way through town. Watt avenue, on the other hand, is nasty pretty much 24-7. There really needs to be a highway there, but I don't know how they'd build one through town. I read something in the Bee about putting a tunnel under it for faster through traffic, but what kind of hare-brained idea is building a multi-gazillion dollar tunnel in a flood plain?

[Broken_Hero]

58. hare brained idea, huh...

arnold----->hare brained idea?...:)

I still can't believe Gray Davis got the boot...seems, ...well, for lack of a better word, retarded...

Do, you remember that trucker...hmm, in 2001, or 2000 who took his semi, into the capital building? I believe it was around new years of 2000, or 2001...

[LeftyMom]

60. Yeah, I had to go to the doctor's office right over there pretty often

since I was expecting at the time and I was amazed both at the damage and how long it took to fix it.

[Whoa_Nelly]

27. Are you in a clique?

[Heidi]

39. Oh, my!

It's the DU Junior League, Gingham Chapter! :rofl:

[texanwitch]

41. Whatever they are saying isn't nice, you can tell.

:rofl:

[Heidi]

45. They're probably whispering about our Birkenstocks.

:rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

43. The DU JLGC! ROFLMAO

:rofl:Too funny, Heidi! :rofl:

[reformedrepub]

48. To hell with all this

sadness and bummerifiry....IM JUMPING INTO THE HOT TUB!!!!!!

[Whoa_Nelly]

52. Am on my way over to your place!

Just let me get my official DU JLGC uniform swimsuit on, and I'll be right there!

[reformedrepub]

53. Woohooo

Gingham!!!

[reformedrepub]

55. Now

where is Triple R....?

[texanwitch]

56. Implants or real, I say implants.

:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

57. Definitely implants

Too even...too round :evilgrin:

[texanwitch]

59. I do like her pig tails. I don't think that bathing suit was made for

swiming.

[Whoa_Nelly]

61. I totally agree with you

That swimsuit was made with other purposes in mind :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

63. I didn't think I was, but Heidi tells me I am...

I'm just pleased to be accepted, anywhere that I go on DU...:shrug:

And I wouldn't be caught dead in those outfits... Yikes!:rofl:

[Major Hogwash]

62. Gloom, dispair, and agony on me

Deep dark depression, excessive misery,
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all,
Gloom, dispair, and agony on me

Floogeldy started a thread that made me want to cry,
It reminded me of the kudzu thread, that had to go bye-bye,
Crazy G said there was no rhyme to lock it, nor no reason why,
Then EarlG said he had hoped that thread would just die

Gloom, dispair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression, excessive misery,
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all,
Gloom, dispair, and agony on me

[Floogeldy]

65. Heh.

Clever. :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

66. Floog, have I told you lately how awesome you are?

I love it that you keep me in line. :evilgrin:
