Good Monday Morning, Crew!

[Random_Australian]

Hi there! I have to start todays thread early, so if the Mr Clint makes an appearance at his normal time, my apologies! :bounce: Though I am sure no-one will mind 2 threads on the one day.... at least I hope no-one will!

It's the first day of the week! I started class again today, and I am hyped! :bounce:

How about you? How does this morning find you, crew?

Let's start the day well! The song of the day is "So long, Marianne" By Leonard Cohen.

[wildhorses]

mornin' R_A

good to see you:hi:

[Random_Australian]

4. Good morning wild!

Lovely to see you too; these threads are great for saying hi to everyone, I'll say that for them!

[wildhorses]

7. will you see Naomi now that school is back in session?

That was her name??? Sorry if I got it wrong, it has been a while. And how is her father, right?

[Random_Australian]

10. I have a very small chance of seeing her sometime this semester,

but it is merely luck, unfortunately. :(

Time will tell, friend....

[wildhorses]

17. then I am wishing you the very best of luck

coming your way with some powerful mojo pushed up against it!
:hug:

[Random_Australian]

21. Better mojo than mofo, as they say!

Thanks, horses!

Btw, why did you choose wildhorses? Like or breed or both or ride or other?

[wildhorses]

31. there are several reasons why I chose that name

there are several songs about wildhorses and I like those songs.

Yes, I used to ride and help breed with my exhusband who is a horse trainer.

But, he could never "break" me so to speak and so the name fits me that way.

wildhorses is somewhat political in that Bush fancies himself a cowboy but, democrats are the wildhorses that he will never tame.

I love all the ways I can maneuver around here in the guise of wildhorses. wildhorses can say things as a horse that I could NEVER say as a mere human.

so in the end, the name just seems to suit me....doncha think?

[Random_Australian]

34. It does. Talking by keyboards gives us certain freedoms, which are

lovely, IMO.

Sorry to hear about the ex.

And as for the political thing; I certainly hope that cowboy Bush gets thrown out of office. That would be lovely.

[Road Scholar]

2. Good morning. Hey welcome back RA nt

[Random_Australian]

3. Thanks! Good to see you!

Looks like we started good morning threads at the same time!

[Road Scholar]

5. Yeah, I probly wouldn't have but np here. Good to see you back.

Just wanted to help keep it going.

[Random_Australian]

6. Just shows you how much Clinticles has gained respect here!

Quite the person, he is. Pehaps we are merely trying to imitate him? ;) Just kidding, though imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is reason unto itself to keep this going. :)

[Road Scholar]

9. I agree. I just got used to his post. I'm sort've a

creature of habit.

[Random_Australian]

11. I know the feeling. In fact I run up and down the apartment stairs

every day at the time I used to go running up my hill. (I moved away)

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning R_A

I just woke up again. I took the day off today. Didn't sleep good last night and didn't get out of the bed really this morning.

Was invited to a BBQ yesterday evening at neweuropes place. Around midnight I looked at the watch the first time it was so nice there.

Are you hype because you can learn again or because you saw certain people again :evilgrin:

[Random_Australian]

12. Good morning Miss Honey!

Both, but unfortunately 'certain people' doesn't include certain person. :(
Pity, now there is only a small chance that I will ever see her again, but I do no give up hope so easy. But my other friends, yes, sure, it was nice to see them.

And learning again is good but not yet done today. Soon.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Why is it only a small chance?

why don't you just call her or go to her just to say hello (for starters so to speak :) )

[Random_Australian]

18. AHEM.

If I had her number, I would have called months ago,

If I see her, I will talk to her.

The problem is finding her.... big uni you see! Only one class in common! She may not even be in the same class this time!

Believe you me, I am not going to take the chance of bieng too shy!

(Don't worry, I am not angry at you, despite the loud 'ahem')

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Oops

:blush:

Was just nosy ...

You know I want the best for you and I want you to be happy. I am sure you will let us know when you meet her. When is that class in question the first time?

[Random_Australian]

25. If she is in PSYC1002 then there are three lectures per week,

tuesday, thursday, friday, and each is done 3 times - so at earliest Tuesday, but maybe Thurs or Fri.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. OK

You know I cross my fingers for you :hug:

[Random_Australian]

30. Thanks. I shall circle my fingers, ooh! That's three in a row!

Tic tac toe!

(Or as we call it, I won the game of noughts and crosses)

[Callalily]

41. Morning MissH!

So you took the day off? Good for you, and glad that you had a chance to sleep in, that's such a good feeling.

I still wasn't feeling my perky self over the weekend, so I took it kinda easy. Went to a movie last night though "Water", http://water.mahiram.com/ Takes place in India in the 1930s. Another one of those though provoking films, which I like.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Good morning Simply

when I woke up and looked at the watch ... I didn't expect it to be that late already. Oh well, guess my body needed it.


So you like Bollywood movies? :D

[Callalily]

44. LOL Bollywood movies!

Hmmmm . . . don't really know about that, but this film was good.

I know exactly what you mean about needing rest. I think sometimes I work so hard, and play so hard, that one day my body just says "enough", and shuts down until I give it proper rest. :rofl:

Gotta head out for work now. You snuggle in with a good book, and take it easy the rest of the day.

[AirmensMom]

51. Good morning MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[NMMNG]

14. Good morning RA!

I'm still at work and have to start my morning rush in 20 minutes. I get off in about 4 hours.

[Random_Australian]

15. Good Morning Buffy!

Grnnnk! Work! Well, I hope it works out.... or in the very least someone dressed in a devil suit scares the 'PRAISE THA LARD' out of that out-loud praiser at work. (Unless they went in my absence)

[NMMNG]

19. LOL

She's still here, though I didn't hear a peep about Gawd out of her last week. That's because she had to take a client (I'll call her Jane) to the lab. I showered/dressed/groomed all four clients, gave three of them their daily meds, gave Jane her sedative and clipped her nails, carried Jane to the van to go to the lab and back into the house when she returned. Holy Roller couldn't thank me enough.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Good morning buffy

:hi:

You work late (or early) today. I thought normally you are off already that time.

[NMMNG]

22. I'm at the weekend job

Fri/Sat/Sun I work 10p-10a.

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Oh OK

that explains it. But a 12 hour job??? Wow!!!

[NMMNG]

28. I used to work 16 hours on Sat and 23.5 on Sun-Mon

12 hour shifts are a breeze by comparison.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. True dat

Hope you get through your last 4 hours with ease :hug:

[NMMNG]

32. Thanks

If the holy roller keeps quiet it should be ok.

:grouphug:

[Hissyspit]

20. Morning, R_A.

[Random_Australian]

26. Morning Hissy!

How does the start of the week find you?

[Hissyspit]

33. No school. Summer break. It lasts about one week.

Then I have to teach my Monday/Wednesday night classes. Regular semester starts August 17.

We had some rain yesterday and it may rain today. High of 88 today. (I don't know what that is in Celsius.)

[Random_Australian]

35. Don't worry, I am good with Celsius/Farenshite conversions.

It rained here today too. It was lovely - rain is my favourite favourite weather.

[tjwmason]

36. Good morning Random.

:hi:

Splendid to see you this fine day.

It's beautiful and sunny here, which is my favourite weather - so it looks like we're both lucky in that regard.

:hug:

[Random_Australian]

37. Good morning tj! Splendid to see you too!

:bounce: English weather? Sunny? Is the world going to end?

:D

Anyway, enough geocentric jabs - how goes life in tj land? (I assume that since you are from England you own the nation)

[tjwmason]

38. Yes, the world is going to end

But I thought it was a good few billion years until the sun turns super-nova...or whatever is going to happen - so don't blame it on English sun. :P

All is going marvellously in tjland - and how about Randomland?

[Random_Australian]

39. Ordered and non-random.

:P

Not blame it on the English sun? With sun in england, less english people will become pirates, and we all know that a lack of pirates causes global warming, DOOMING US ALL.

Gotcha.

:)

Anything special happening this week?

[Callalily]

40. Good Morning Random!

Glad to see that you're back, and happy that you've taken over the morning thread for Clint. I'm sure he appreciates it. It's quite a task!

I suspect that you're glad to be back at school. How long until you finish? Any major? Just being nosy.

[Random_Australian]

45. Good morning Simply F!

I am glad indeed! How long until I finish? Why, I am just starting second semester!
(I may go for three or four years in total)

Any major? Nope, I am a first year!

[riona]

43. Fl check-in

It's off for estimates. Our car got rear-ended for the second time - another uninsured driver. At least it was a low speed thing. It"'s amazing how people still like Leonard Cohen. One of my favorites "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye. Have a good day.

[Random_Australian]

46. Good morning Fl!

Ow! Another car crash? That is pretty lucky, but it is good that you report no injuries (which I assume means no injuries)

Leonard Cohen was an interesting figure, from the calm and quiet songs to the spectacular time he blew his top about abortion (at least I think that is what it is about) in the recording of 'Diamonds in the mine' on the album 'So Long Marianne' - (all the same words but yelling plenty with strange tone)

[Random_Australian]

47. Time to get going to bed, his crew!

Have a good day and take care of each other!

[Fox Mulder]

48. Mornin' everyone.

:)

:hi:

[StellaBlue]

49. Thanks for the lovely pic

It's like the "breathing space" in O Magazine. hahahaha

I am doing well, except very tired, because I cannot for the life of me make myself go to bed early, and I am facing a mountain of debt, and I don't know if I can meet all my obligations this month, even if I don't eat. I'm going to have to drop out of my degree because the recently-deregulated tuition has doubled and I can't afford it. :/

Other than that, though, I am grrrrrrrreat. Not being sarcastic. I played tennis twice this weekend, got a little rest, stayed in BOTH nights in an attempt to be responsible, and wrote a paper. Today I'm working, and will likely be on the phone with a health insurance company my entire lunch break. Then I have to write another paper tonight. Then I have to look for another (3rd) job.

[AirmensMom]

50. Good morning,RA!

:donut: :hi: Thanks for doing this. I tried once last week, but then I got sick and haven't been around for a few days. Glad to see the crew is still together! :bounce: :grouphug:

[femmocrat]

52. Good morning everyone! Happy Monday!

[txwhitedove]

53. Good morning, RA, and welcome back. We missed you.

I'm not on the regular morning list. Have time to check in now because I'm looking for new job....
okay tell me to get back to work cause DU keeps distracting me.
:hi:
