How are you today?

What did you think of Obama's speech yesterday?

I went shopping with a friend after work yesterday. Got me a simple white blouse and two long-sleeved shirts for the fall. Sorry, no pictures.
I also was looking for an external hard disk ... but damn, that is expensive stuff :wow: Will have to wait a bit before I buy it.

1. Good morning!

I liked the president's speech very much. I am cautiously optimistic we are well on the road to health care for all. The glass is half full. :)
I have to hold off on certain needed pc related items myself (like a new pc.) The life of an artist!
That's a great pic. Where is Black Forest House? It sounds foreboding. :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Allen

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I want a MacBook myself .... I need to save quite some money for that. And I want .... you know the deal, there is so much stuff I want but don't have the money for. So it has to wait.

A Black Forest House is a house in the Black Forest. They have a very typical way of building these. Wiki has only an explanation in German, but they have some pictures that give you an idea http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzwaldhaus

3. Goodmorning Miss HoneyChurch!

Good to see you as always! I'm running a little bit late as far as logging on here goes. Not sure what I thought about the Pres's plan but the speech was a good one. :)

Off to dry my hair then out the door and down the highway I go.

Have a great day!

4. Good morning aA

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I watched Countdown with KO this morning on my iPod (thanks to podcasts) and from what I gathered it was a really good speech. I wish you people the best for finally getting an affordable health care. Germany is by far not the best, but I don't have to worry about not affording to go to the doctor.

I wish you a great day yourself!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning sunshine

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Did your students watch Obama's speech on Tuesday?

[Strong Atheist]

7. Yes. It was delayed an hour at my school, but yes...

:hi:

:hangover:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. I guess one has to be thankful at least for that

:hi:

[Strong Atheist]

9. It was up to the principals till last Friday morning; when the county said it could not

be shown live...

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I can't believe

how hostile politics is these days in the U.S. But then, you had other times when it was as hostile.

[blueraven95]

11. Good Afternoon, MissH!

have you tried looking online for the hard drive? I generally find better sales on electronics online.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

No, I haven't done that yet. I will.

How do you like your new computer?

[blueraven95]

47. I'm loving it.

It's awesome!


Hey, I have an apology to make - I was just looking at the calendar and your wonderful photograph, and I just realized that there is a typo in your name. I am so sorry, and super embarrassed about it - I would swear it wasn't on the originals I sent out for printing - I double and triple check those, but it must have been. It's bad to start with, but it's even worse because you are a friend. :blush:

13. Good morning !

I woke up about an hour ago and was all confused because of my messed up sleep
patterns.I love your picture,it have a kind of Gothic atmosphere.:scared:
Have a great day my dear ! :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning Jeff

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Gothic???? OK, that is new to me :)

I hope you are able to get back to a normal sleep pattern soon :hug:

[NJmaverick]

15. Good morning MHC

Have you tried looking online for your hard drive? They really are pretty reasonably priced, all things considering. I purchased a 500 GB Hard Drive at the beginning of the year for $100.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Good morning NJmaverick

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

blueraven suggested the same. I will do that tonight or over the weekend. I also have to check how much MB are all my pictures combined so that I get an idea how much GB I need.


And don't you think I didn't see the thread:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NJmaverick]

20. thank you

yeah those birthdays find you no matter how hard you try to hide. I would think your pictures wouldn't exceed 10 - 20 GB. Which would be a very small external HD. If you get an external HD that is at least 100 GB you should be fine.

[MissHoneychurch]

21. LOL

have you planned anything?

Thanks for the tip. I think the ones with 100GB are a bit cheaper. The prices in the store ranged from €70 to over €200.

[NJmaverick]

25. I have to work today, so I am just going out to dinner with my family

nothing really speical. I would still double check the size of your picture folder, then go online and look for bargains. I am sure there are better prices than those.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. A dinner is a nice thing

as long as the restaurant isn't OliveGarden :hide:

Most likely there are better bargains online. There is a page where I can compare prices.

[Brewman_Jax]

17. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

The spinning equipment shows that is a busy house.

Watched USA defeat Trindad & Tobago 1-0 qualifier game. Gonna go find an over-30 team tonight--hopefully. I didn't play on Tuesday and they tied without me. :wow:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Germany won against Azerbaijan 4:0 yesterday.

Good luck with your search!! I hope you find a good team!! :thumbsup:

With you the team would have won :)

[Brewman_Jax]

23. I'd like to think so

but, they can make it without me. :P I'll finish this season, since I paid for it, then, who knows? :shrug: If they want to just run around, one of the sport and social club leagues would be more appropriate, not the soccer park leagues.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Hey

soon you will be in a new team and the old team won't matter anymore.

[Brewman_Jax]

33. True

but I also will be brewing. The all-grain mini-batch I made was successful! :woohoo: I'll have to adjust the amount of ingredients, but the process worked. Beer from amaranth grain.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. YAY!!!

How much alc% does it have? :beer:

[Brewman_Jax]

43. Very little

approx. 3%, not much at all. Hopefully, I'll improve the taste, and content, with practice.

[cwydro]

18. Hello Miss Honeychurch

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I feel like SA this morning...trsk, grvmpk...trying to get my coffee to wake me up.

That is a nice picture; that bed looks very comfortable and cozy.

I am ashamed to say I didn't listen to the speech, because I was watching the US Open. I did tape it and from what I've heard it sounded good, except for that ass from SC interrupting.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I don't think the bed was comfy. Hard wood and bed sheets filled with straw. But if you like that ... :D

[cwydro]

28. Lol!

Just saw your response.

No straw beds for me thank you!

Though I did read recently about a recent trend in Germany for people to say in barns filled with hay. Did you see any of that?

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Let me put it this way

sleeping in barns filled with hay is nothing that no one has ever heard of. There is a pic of me with a bunch of guys laying in the hay ... of course we were kids and we were on a field trip. :D

[cwydro]

37. Hmmm...

you with a bunch of guys lying in the hay....you have heard of the saying "a roll in the hay"? I assume?

Sounds like a very interesting field trip for all involved!

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I will scan the pic and post it

I promise :rofl:

[cwydro]

41. Good.

I can't wait.:evilgrin:

[Tobin S.]

24. Mornin' Miss H

I'm doing good. I did not get to hear Obama's speech because I sleep during the time it aired, but I have read a few reports about it and it looks like he did good. It also looks as if some foolish Republican might have helped him out, too.

There are big changes going on where I work. We are being asked to bid on new delivery routes. I'm pretty low on the seniority list, but it looks as if I will have a shot at a good route. But I may also be asked for a favor. There is a route that nobody wants. It pays good but is undesirable because it goes into a region that gets a lot of snow in the winter and I would have to haul double trailers (notoriously known as wiggle wagons) up there as well. I did that route for a while, but moved up the ladder when a new route became available. There are 2 drivers behind me in seniority and both are too chicken to take that route, when in reality one of them should have to take it.

Me and a few other drivers are thinking that I will be called upon to take this route so the other drivers won't quit in protest, which actually would be a foolish thing to do in this economy, but that's just how bad they don't want to do that route.

If the above scenario comes to pass, I'm think that I will accept the route in question for something in return, i.e. use a route that I should be getting as a bargaining chip. The thing is I don't know what to ask for. We had to take a pay freeze this year so they won't be able to give me a raise right now. What do you think?

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Good morning Tobin

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

That is a tough situation. Are you afraid to get fired if you don't take the route? Do you mind taking the route?

[Tobin S.]

34. I'm not going to get fired if I don't take the route

I don't want to take the route, but it could pay off in a good way if I do. If I'm not going to get anything out of it I won't take it. I'm just trying to think of what my demands should be. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

40. If

it is only for a certain period I'd say take it. You can use the money if you decide to buy a condo or house. And demand some extra cash.

[bigwillq]

29. Morning!

:hi:

Speech was good as far as tone and delivery. Content, as far as policy, was fair, imo. I was hoping for more (much more)that resembled a true public option. But Obama did well in being strong and refuting the right wing claims.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Good morning bigwillq

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I think it is a start in the right direction. You need a reform and you need it now. And Obama is trying his best to get the bill passed. One has to compromise, otherwise the bill wouldn't get passed.

[Mugu]

31. Good morning MissHoneychurch

Your wonderful photo makes me think about just how lucky we are to live now rather than then. I really like the electronic gadgets that we have now. I just wouldn't know what to do without my computer and digital camera.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Good morning Mugu

:hi: :hug:

I agree with you. There are things I don't want to miss. Also, as a woman I am very glad to live nowaday and be able to work and learn.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

42. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

I thought the speech was quite good. And it was the 2nd day in a row that the President spoke to kids. Last night, some of the children were very bad indeed. :rofl:

I didn't see the thread before. Glad I looked again. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I was wondering already where you were. Thought maybe you slept in today :)

Good way of looking at the Repubs in the Congress :rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

45. I did sleep in.

I got up at 6 and my common sense took over. ;)

My guess is they forgot this wasn't a town hall meeting.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. Hello MissHc

rainy day here. misty and cool. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Vidar]

48. Good morning MissHoneychurch.
