Good Wednesday morning, crew!

[Random_Australian]

Hi again crew, it's me again, welcoming all to the beginning of hump day! :bounce:

:grouphug:

That's right crew, today done and you get clear sailing to the weekend. :woohoo: I think we can all use a nice weekend R&R, though I must admit I feel heaps better this morning.:headbang: Still somewhat busy so I may take a little bit to respond, but don't worry. :)

Today was good, my first capoeira class of the semester! :bounce: Boy, am I sore!:nopity: But it is a good sore. :bounce:

How is everyone? Anything special coming up? For me, I have a BIG physics project coming, will tell more soon, but we are still planning ideas - probably finding one of the fundamental constants of nature, or the strength of gravity or some such in a novel way. (I know, nerd alert but :nopity:) Any way it goes, it will be fun. :D

Time to rise and shine, crew! :bounce:

The song of the day is "The happiest days of our lives" by Pink Floyd.

(As in the one with "YOU! Yes, you! Stand still, laddie!)

2. Good morning/evening R_A

Good to hear that you feel better :hug:

What is capoeira????

[Random_Australian]

6. Good morning Miss Honey!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art, disguised as dance. It is a lot of fun, but I mostly do it to get flexible. Sheesh it works!

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Ok thanks

sounds like a lot of muscle aches in the beginning.

[Random_Australian]

11. Yep, you can tell when someone had their first lesson, as they walk

around the next day, doing the robot.... but they don't mean to. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

12. And you?

are you doing the robot? :D

[Random_Australian]

13. Halfway. I had lessons before, but not for a while.

But quite a few pieces of me are not working right now. :(

But it is a good sore, because by the end I could put myself in a space that is not very big, and other strange things.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. So I could come to Australia

pack you in my suitcase and take you back home with me?? Something like that? :D

Sorry to hear that you are sore. I need to go the gym again but I am also scared of the muscle ache I am going to get x(

[Random_Australian]

18. Not a suitcase, but a box. :)

Actually, I think I might be able to, now I think of it.

I know the feeling about anticipating gym.... my advice is to learn to NOT associate 'gym' with 'pain'. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Easier said then done

but actually it is less the pain than the going itself. I am not a big fan of sport but I want and need to go the gym so that I stay fit.

[Random_Australian]

28. Aye, I know that feeling too. :) Gotta stay fit vs. wasting your freaking

time!

Urgh, the dilemmas of a modern life. I wish all that I had to choose was whether or not to go "Huh?" when I was eaten by a saber tooth tiger.

[AirmensMom]

20. Hi MissHC!

:loveya: :hug: :hi: Did you get a good rest?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Good morning Miss Airmens

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I slept good but it wasn't enough at all. I barely made it out of the bed this morning.

[AirmensMom]

23. Hmmm ...

You don't have a weekend planned with your mom, do you? You might have to take it easy and catch up on some rest before you get on that plane for the US. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. I might have a date this weekend

other than that I plan to be lazy and sleep a lot.

3 weeks and 3 days :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

29. Is it that close?

It was 5 weeks just a few days ago! :wow:

What kind of date do you have? :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

30. It is that close

:bounce:

Probably meet a guy I met online. Nothing really exciting but since I am on the market again I can use the time and meet new men.

[AirmensMom]

33. Oooooo!

Now be careful, OK? :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. I will, I promise

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

42. Good girl!

:applause:

I have to get going now. Talk to you later. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Talk to you later

:hi:

Give the kitties a hug from me :D

[Callalily]

35. Morning MissH!

So your weekend plans include catching up on your sleep! Those sound like great plans to me, and I will be doing a little of that myself. That and catching up on domestic chores But I did none of that last weekend, and am a bit behind. Actually, once I get into it, doesn't really take that long.

Additionally a date? A guy you met on-line? How brave of you.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Domestic chores are part of my weekend as well

and your smiley says it all :rofl:

I finally got a dryer last weekend so I will have SMOOTH and SOFT towels in the future :bounce:

I met some guys already in RL that I met online. It is easier for me to meet them online, talk with them and then meet. Sometimes it is a good date, sometimes I wish I could leave right away.

[Callalily]

49. I suspect that

there is no great formula for meeting guys. They can be creeps if met in RL or online. I know girls who have met their SO's on-line, so I guess it's just another alternative to meeting people. I have some friends that are encouraging me to do that, but I just haven't gotten up enough nerve!

I've gotta fill up my travel mug and get outta here.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. I met you and others here online too

and we become friends. It isn't different to dating online.

You have a great day as well

[Cannikin]

3. Hello RA! How's it going?

Tell me, is the Superman movie doing any good down there?

[Random_Australian]

8. Good morning Cannikin!

Well, when it was here it was doing pretty well, but that was a while ago, so it has rather simmered down now. I might see it, if it is still in the cinemas.

[NMMNG]

4. Good Morning RA!

Nice song selection! Of course Pink Floyd is my absolute favorite band. :headbang:



Educate me--what is capoeira?

[Random_Australian]

9. Good morning Miss Buffy!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art- disguised as dance. Honestly, I have no idea how to fight, I use it to get incredibly flexible. :)

[NMMNG]

15. Ah

Sounds like something quite useful. Strength, self-defense and agility rolled into one.

[Random_Australian]

16. It is real useful, and fun too. You forgot one thing though:

Because it had to be disguised as dance, it is also really, REALLY cool looking. :)

[NMMNG]

Oh yeah

And I love watching dance. :thumbsup:

[Random_Australian]

39. Yeah, they put on performances to get people to join, and for social

events. It is like break-dancing so they are quite popular. :)

[NMMNG]

17. Oh yeah

And I love watching dance. :thumbsup:

[billyskank]

5. Good morning

:hi:

[Random_Australian]

10. Good morning Billy!

How are you?

[billyskank]

32. Okay thanks

:)

[Random_Australian]

48. Well, that was succint, I must say. You are in contention for the

'most shortest answer award'.

:)

Anything special happening this weekend?

[billyskank]

53. Think I'll go and see my Mum/brother

I need to pick up a load of Stargate SG-1 DVDs off him. :D

[Random_Australian]

54. Aha! The secret of your nerdity is revealed!

That makes two of us. (Bieng nerds at any rate - I loathe Stargate and kill anyone who watches it)

:)

We could make a club for this.... (j/k)

Good to hear! have a great time!

[AirmensMom]

22. Hi billy!

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[billyskank]

31. Hi AirmensMom!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

19. Good morning, RA!

:donut: :hi: It's good to have you back.

What's capoeira? :shrug:

I'm having my piano tuned today. The guy is coming from NC ... but that's just down the road. I sure hope he's good! I won't be able to stay long b/c I want to be dressed when he gets here. :D

[Random_Australian]

26. Good morning Miss Airmens!

Sure! don't worry about not staying long.

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art - disguised as dance. :7

[AirmensMom]

27. Getting tired of answering that?

:rofl: I read through the thread AFTER I asked, of course. :blush: Thank. :D

[Random_Australian]

43. Don't worry, I don't mind.

It makes me feel special. :)

[Callalily]

38. Morning AirmensMom

LOL maybe if you meet the piano guy in your jammies he'll give you a discount on the tuning!

Yeah, poor RA. He got a zillion questions about capoeira, but doesn't it sound intriguing. It's something I'd like to try, but I haven't heard of it before, so it's rather doubtful that classes are available here. Oh well . . .

[Callalily]

34. Good Morning RA!

Glad you're feeling better, and it does seem like you've got a full plate ahead of you!

Capoeira sounds very intriguing, something I'd like to try. Wish we'd have classes here!

Ah . . . and it's NOT hump day for me. I'm taking off on Friday and all I can think about is sleeping in, and posting in my jammies. Yes, life can be good.

[Random_Australian]

37. GOOOOD Morning SimplyF!

Sound like you are in a happy mood! Great to hear, man!

Anyway, by coincidence, I finished cooking tea (at 9:30 pm no less) and had a full plate in fron of me as I read you say 'like you've got a full plate ahead of you!' which is pretty funny IMO.

Nice smilies by the way!

[Callalily]

44. Oh it's the

brilliant minds think alike syndrome. Travels all across the world as you can see!

Yes, I am in a good mood, much better than yesterday morning. I think it's because I'm almost done with a VERY BIG PROJECT at work, and that's always a relief. But there's alway more projects on the horizon, huh!

My smilies? Yes, i've got quite a collection. But I've seen some pretty awesome ones here!

[Random_Australian]

46. You know, I never liked that saying about great minds until a few weeks

ago.... after all, if that is all there is it is not difficult to derive a much, MUCH more accurate version, but then I heard the other half, which makes it ok in my opinion. :)

[Callalily]

50. Whew!

Glad that you didn't take offense!

Gotta head out to work. Wishing you a great rest of the day!

[Random_Australian]

52. Wishing a great day to you to! See ya SimplyF!

[AirmensMom]

41. Good morning, SF!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I have to go ... but wanted to say hi first. Hi! :hi:

[Callalily]

45. Awww thanks . . .

Wishing you a good day!

[Random_Australian]

55. Time to get going to bed, crew!

:bounce: Have a great day and take care of each other!:bounce:

Time to shine, crew!:bounce:
