Good Tuesday Morning, Everyone!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew for this 7th of February! I hope you had a good nights rest and now you're ready to get this day started with me! Captain Clintmax here, and since I am off work at my other job today, I can spend more time here with YOU! :bounce: So...let's get it on!

Song Of The Day: "Unbelieveable" by Kaci Brown

[NMMNG]

1. Good morning Clint!

So, being here at DU is a job now? :rofl: Let's rumble!

[Clintmax]

4. Good morning , Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug::rofl:
No...it's not a job. And even if I worked for DU, I enjoy it so much...it wouldn't FEEL like a job. I love that slap smilie!

[NMMNG]

8. That smiley is a riot

For some strange reason it's called the "girl fight" smiley. :rofl: I've seen many "girl fights" in my life and never seen one like that.

So, what have you been up to lately? I have had to log off early the past few days so I assume I've missed you.

[Clintmax]

15. The girl fight smilie!

:rofl:
I haven't seen one like that either. But...it IS a riot! I've been working a lot lately. Our GM has been on vacation so I was the "acting" GM while she was gone. That equals lots of work, but I enjoyed it, and she really complimented me yesterday on how the store looked and how well we did in sales last week! :bounce: I guess I did a good job. :)

[NMMNG]

21. Congratulations!

It sounds like you did a good job. Good sales and nice looking store--well done! :woohoo:

I don't suppose she took you out to lunch or something?

[Clintmax]

31. Thank you, Miss Buffy!

:hug:
No, I took my normal PB&J, chips, soda & apple pie lunch. Lunch of champions! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Clintmax!

I was just heading for bed, but I'm glad I saw you before that!

[Clintmax]

6. Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you did too! It always brightens my mornings when you stop in! :loveya: Have you been doing OK the past couple of days?

[SeattleGirl]

30. Mostly yes

Just have a few wrinkles to work out

[Clintmax]

33. I'm glad to hear that!

Get those ironed out, and it will be smooth sailing!

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Good morning, Clintmax!

I am early birding it today. Needed to get some work done, so I've been up since 4AM.

Hopefully, I can get a nap at some point.

[Clintmax]

7. Hail, MidloD!

:hi:
Welcome to the Crew today! Well, hopefully, you'll get everything done you wanted to. If you got up at 4, I'd certainly say you'd need to take a nap at some point! Good luck!

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I always mean to take a nap....and I never do.

I hope you are more lucky than I. :hi:

[Clintmax]

22. Well, I dont' ever take a nap...

So it's the OTHER things I intend to do that invariably don't get done.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. LOL. Me, too.

I usually wake up about 5:30 with the teenager, and every morning, when I wake up, I think, "Is today the day?". Sadly, no, it never is.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. Sometimes I even get the couch all ready for a nap...with blankets

and all...and then the phone rings. :)

[Clintmax]

35. I hate when that happens!

:rofl:
Stoopid phone!

[Midlodemocrat]

65. Or the doorbell. Or the dog barks.

Sigh. I really would like to get a nap today.

Went grocery shopping yesterday, so that is all good. House is clean. Laundry is caught up. Maybe, just maybe.

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. Heheheh. I am in the middle of a winter purge of the house...and we

are thinking of putting on the market, and I've got to go get lunchmeat, because the lunches are lame today. No nap for me! :hug:

[Clintmax]

67. Sounds like you have a good chance!

With all that done...nap time should be good to go..unless the doorbell rings, the dog barks or the phone rings...:rofl:

[Clintmax]

34. I know JUST what you mean!

I have to MAKE myself do things sometimes. Even though I never want to. It seems like there is something else to do more fun. :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. good morning Clintmax.

It is c-c-cold here. I am just about ready to start the morning school routine. I'm glad to have my city back from all those crazed Steelers fans. I probably should not waste too much time here today...I have a lot to do, but things have a way of not happening the way I intend them to around here. :hi:

[Clintmax]

10. Good morning, MrsG!

:hi:
It's good to see you today, my dear! Do you live in Detroit? Is that why you were over-ran with Steelers fans? As far as things not happening the you plan...sometimes I feel like the king of that too! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Yes! We have a few hotels a mile from our house, over by my son's

school. You should have seen all the Steelers ribbons and flags on the cars...and for some reason, not a one was parked straight. ;) :hug: Enjoy your day off!

[Clintmax]

25. LOL! Crazy Steelers fans!

Can't park straight! :rofl: I'm certainly going to try! I'm HOPING I can go see Brokeback again today. I want to see it at least once more before it leaves the theaters.

[Wetzelbill]

11. Mornin' Clint

I haven't rested at all. Been up all night watching the first season of "The Shield" on DVD. I was tired about 6 hours ago, now I'm wide awake. Go figure. I have nothing much to do tomorrow anyway. :)

[Clintmax]

16. Hail, Bill!

:hi:
I think you've gotten your "second wind". That's why you feel wide awake. The bad thing about it is that once it goes away, it's gone at once, and you'll feel like you're sleeping on your feet.

[Wetzelbill]

18. I'll probably end up

waking up at like 5 tomorrow or something and getting all out of whack in my schedule. :) I hate that!

[Clintmax]

27. That might not be so bad, actually...

You know the saying..."Early to bed, early to rise..." :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

13. Good day!

This week is a weird anniversary for me. It was the week in 1987 that I was diagnosed with cancer.

Weird.

[Clintmax]

17. Good morning, Miss Kitchen!

:hi::hug:
I didnt' know you had cancer! I'm certainly happy you survived it! Now I have even MORE respect for you, my dear! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

19. Thank you

I had Hodgkins Lymphoma...treatment was evil!

[Clintmax]

28. I'm sure it was!

:hug::hug::hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning Clint

I am doing fine :hi:

but my computer died on me. I will take it to the company after work today

[Clintmax]

20. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry to hear that your computer died! That's a shame. What happend to it? Power surge?

[MissHoneychurch]

23. No idea

I talked to one guy of the company and he said it sounds like the power supply unit has died. I hope he is right.

[Clintmax]

29. I hope so too...

if so, it won't be nearly as expensive to repair!

[MissHoneychurch]

32. I am still under warranty

or better the computer is (I bought it less than a year ago).

[Clintmax]

36. Oh, well that's good!

Cross your fingers that it isn't the hard drive. If THAT crashed you'd lose all your data. :hide:

[MissHoneychurch]

Oh I am scared of that

but if it was the hard drive the computer would start at least. Mine decided to do .... nothing

[Clintmax]

39. Yes...you're right...

If it won't even turn on...it's the power supply. Well, I hope you get it back quickly! I don't know what I would do without mine.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. I am glad I have the chance to get online at work

otherwise I would freak out.

[Clintmax]

43. See, so would I!

No DU! :scared: And no, Miss Honey!

[MissHoneychurch]

46. just not imaginable

[Clintmax]

52. I know it!

Where WOULD I be without my DU?? :scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. having a life?

:scared: :rofl:

[Clintmax]

60. See now, I consider DU part OF my life.

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

61. a big part

maybe sometimes just a tiny bit too much (on my side) :rofl:

[Clintmax]

64. I know what you mean.

I always look forward to getting up and being with everyone in the mornings!

[MissHoneychurch]

68. that is a good reason to get up

:D

[Clintmax]

70. Absolutely!

I always have a smile when I first sit down at my computer to start the Morning Crew! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

76. cool

and I always wait for my lunchbreak. Not only because I get a break but also I know that you are showing up at this time. Makes my lunchbreak twice as sweet.

:bounce:

[Clintmax]

80. That's good!

I'm glad you can get online at work so you CAN be here with me! :hug:

[tjwmason]

37. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Always good to have a day off, and good for us that you're going to spend some of it here. :D

We're on Buxtehude organ works. He's the chap whom J.S. Bach famously walked over 100 miles just to hear play the organ.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

38. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I was wondering where you were! I hadn't heard the story of Bach walking a hundred miles to hear that guy play the organ. He must really be something then! Work going OK today?

[tjwmason]

40. I was being bored to death.

Somebody from another part of the office had walked in and was droning on and on about various nonesense :boring: The moment he left we breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Work's fine today, and I'm a million time better than yesterday. :D:D:D

[Clintmax]

42. I'm glad to hear THAT!

A million times better, huh? You must be on cloud nine then! :hug:

[tjwmason]

44. Not quite cloud 9 - but still happy

especially with you around. :hug:

Do you have any special plans for your day-off?

[Clintmax]

50. I'm hoping to go see Brokeback again....

Have you had a chance to see it yet? I'm always happy with you around too! :hug:

[tjwmason]

59. How many thousand times have you seen it now?

:P

Should be good in the office this afternoon, there will just be two of us here - the other one is pretty much silent, so it looks like I'll actually get some work done. :wow:

[Clintmax]

62. That's good then!

You can just have your music and your work! :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

74. Absolutely.

When I actually start to work, it's quite astonishing how quickly the pile of things to do vanishes. :eyes:

[Clintmax]

78. LOL! Yes, absolutely.

Once you get started working...the pile quickly disappears! Imagine that. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

83. It sometimes makes me wonder what would happen if I worked all of the time

But then I go to lie down in a darkened room at such a radical notion.

[Clintmax]

85. You do NOT!

At work??? Shame, shame, shame! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

89. Don't actually go to sleep.

That would be pushing things a tad bit too much.....

[Clintmax]

91. I was going to say!

:rofl:

[tjwmason]

95. Also Alt+Tab is a good combination to know.

For when folk walk into the office and a switch between D.U. and Excel or the company's accounting software is needed.

[Clintmax]

98. LOL! I'm sure it is!

Do you have to use it often? :)

[tjwmason]

104. My fingers rest on them almost naturally.

When I'm not actually typing, but I am looking at the computer my hands sit at either end of the keyboard - this means that my thumb is around either Alt or the space-bar, and my middle-finger somewhere near the tab key.

[Clintmax]

106. LOL! Good policy!

:rofl:

[tjwmason]

116. I make it lunch-time now.

May see you around afterwards - but there's a hungry T.J. to sort out for now.

[Clintmax]

117. OK...have a great lunch, TJ!

:hi::hug:
Stop back by when lunch is over!

[tjwmason]

132. Feeling very jolly now.

Though ready for a post-prandial nap.

[Clintmax]

134. Welcome back!

I trust you had a nice lunch! No naps for you, mister! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

136. Lunch was very good.

Soup with salad, bread and cheese (stilton today).

You're right about the nap though - if I sleep now I won't get to sleep later....then I'll be grumpy tomorrow. That means that you've got to keep me distracted though. :D

[Clintmax]

140. I'll try my best...

But I have to go take Greekspeak over to the college right now...i'll be back in a few minutes though. Stay tuned!

[tjwmason]

144. Have a good journey.

See you soon. :hug:

[Clintmax]

147. I'm back!

That took a little longer than I thought it would...but I'm back home now!

[tjwmason]

151. HURRAH

Clint gets back, and afternoon tea is on its way too. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

152. YAY!

And TJ is still here! Life is good! :bounce::party::loveya:

[tjwmason]

154. I'm here(ish) for the next hour and a half.

Then it's 5 o'clock and home-time.

I've just finished listening to Quatour pour la fin du temps by Olivier Messiaen (which was swimboy's fault) - an extraordinary piece, written whilst the composer was a P.o.W. being held by the Nazis.

[Clintmax]

156. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be...

I really need to get some things done today, but I wanted to come back for a little while...things have been busy in the thread today, as you know.

[tjwmason]

158. 156 Replies.

Pretty impressive say I.

I'm sure that you've got a million things to be getting on with though.

[Clintmax]

159. Well, maybe not a MILLION...

:rofl:
I love it when it's so busy in the morning like this!

[Clintmax]

69. Hey, TJ...

Have you ever heard any music from "Il Divo"? They're the italian boys who were discovered by Simon. (American Idol fame)

[tjwmason]

77. Yes - my mother likes them.

Can't say that they're going to be joining my music collection anytime soon though.

[Clintmax]

81. I have fallen in love with them too!

You don't like them at all, huh?

[tjwmason]

87. It's more their style and choice of music.

I'm a hard-core classical fan, they're soft classical.

As a general rule, if a C.D. is marketed on the basis of it's singer/instrumentalist I'm unlikely to like it. If it's marketed on the basis of the composer/work, then it's got a chance....

That said, they do serve a purpose for me - classical music is very expensive, and record companies effectively subsidise niche markets (like what I am) with the more populist releases.

[Clintmax]

92. Well, I must say...I've never made my musical choices

on how it's marketed. I, personally, think they have absolutely beautiful voices! And of course, they sing in italian...even better! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

100. It indicates what's considered more important

the performer or the music.

It's essentially importing the method and style of popular music into classical. Thus one also has the attempt to force everything into short tracks - a single movement from a concerto will be taken out of its surrounding context - a single aria from an opera which lasts 3 hours.... Classical music cannot be fitted into that small box without loosing itself, i.m.o. Popular music is pretty much all written within song form, in classical this is only a tiny minority - we have concerti, suites, symphonies, opera, sonatas, &c.&c.&c.

[Clintmax]

102. I see.

Interesting.

[Robeson]

45. Morning Clint! Nice to see you!....

....:hi:

[Clintmax]

48. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
It's always good to see you too, Man! How's every little thing going with you?

[Robeson]

51. I'm hangin' tuff! Hope you're doing good!.....

...:thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

53. I'm doing swell!

You keep hangin tuff, Dude! Kind of a funny story...we have running joke going on at my store...do you remember "half shirts"?

[Scooter24]

47. Mornin' Clint...

:hug:

Let's dance!

[Clintmax]

49. Let's do it, Man!

:rofl:
Is that you dancing there, Dude?

[Scooter24]

56. Unfortunately, no :(

However, we have the same body type :D

I like to dance, but only when I'm boozed up.

Without booze, and my dancing looks like this:

[Clintmax]

63. ROFL!

Somehow I doubt that, Mister. He's kinda cute dancing like that though. Treasure trail and all! :rofl:

[Scooter24]

94. hehe...

soft spot for those trails eh? :rofl:

How about we play a game until you leave? May I suggest this?


:P

[Clintmax]

97. ROFL!

:rofl:
That's hilarious! I could say something...but the thread would get locked in a heartbeat! :rofl: And yes, I do.

[swimboy]

145. OMG, Scooter!

I've gotta save that on my home computer! :rofl: (Can't really have it here at work).

You're a treasure, man!

[Sugar Smack]

55. Good Morning, dearest!

How are you? I just had the most wonderful dreams about other DUers!

:pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Hi Sugar Smack

:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

71. Hi, sweet Honeychurch!

How are you, love? :hi: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

73. I am doing fine

a bit tired right now. But that is the weather. It is rainy and just Bah!. Wish I could sit at home with a good book in the hand and read. Or snuggle with someone under the covers ... sigh

[Clintmax]

58. Morning, Miss Sugar!

:hi:
I'm doing just fine, thank you! Up to this point, I haven't had any dreams about DU'ers, at least that I can remember. But then again, I don't remember most of my dreams. The strange ones I usually do. :rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

72. I always remember the strange ones!

;-)

So I went ahead & started a thread about it!

[Clintmax]

75. I've had some doozies, let me just tell ya!

:rofl:
Some that are so strange as to be embarassing! I'd never post them!

[Callalily]

79. Good Morning Clint!

You should have slept in this morning if it's your day off. You're up quite early!
It's cold here this morning and I've got to stop for gas b/4 I head off to work - yuk! I should have known better and did it last night, but I was just too tired. Oh well . . .
Have a wonderful day off!

[MissHoneychurch]

82. Good mórning SimplyF

we have rainy and yucky weather here. Not cold. Just yucky. I prefer snow over rain. But you better drive carefully


:hi:

[Callalily]

88. Good morning MissH

Yes, air temp is one degree which truly is typical Feb. weather here, but it's been so mild lately we got spoiled.
Thanks, I'm always careful on my to work, it's the other idiots that I have to look out for.
Hope you have a great day, and hope you get your computer fixed. My modem went bad and I switched it out on the weekend. Seems to be working okay now.

[Clintmax]

84. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I'm always up early. I sometimes sleep in, but it's rare. It's good to see you today! It's not so cold down here in Florida today. It's 60 degrees right now, so it's rather pleasant.

[buddhamama]

86. Good Morning, Clintmax- Everyone!

I will be headed off to work shortly...one more cup of coffee before i go (as Bob Dylan sings).

My musical selection this morning is Michael Franti.

Have a wonderful day, Y'All !

p.s. i'd rather be doing this

[Clintmax]

90. Morning, Mama!

:hi:
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day too! :bounce:

[Call Me Wesley]

93. Good morning, Captain Clintmax!

Glad to hear you're having a day off. :hi:

[Clintmax]

96. Hail, Wesley!

:hi:
I sure am too! How are you and Miss Heidi doing? Has her cold gone away?

[Call Me Wesley]

99. We're doing fine,

but Heidi still has her cold (although not as bad as the days before.) It just takes time, and we have a saying here that a cold threated with medication will last 7 days. Untreated, it will last 7 days.

Can't help it. ;)

[Clintmax]

101. LOL!

That's a funny saying! Although, it IS true. Tell Miss Heidi I said "hello" and I'm glad she's a little better!

[Call Me Wesley]

103. Thank you, I'll tell her.

Right now she's busy showing our niece her new laptop ...

[Clintmax]

105. That's good!

I didn't know you got a new laptop! What kind did you get?

[Call Me Wesley]

111. An Acer ...

Some like this one:



Wireless LAN
100 GB HD
1 GB DDR2 RAM
15.4" Monitor

[Clintmax]

113. Looks nice!

I'm sure you two will enjoy it!

[Call Me Wesley]

118. It is a pretty nice machine.

Just tweaking it and setting it all up, including the wireless network with my work station was not so nice, but it's done now and works.

And there's no option for anything else besides a Windows operated machine, since both our clients only use that. Otherwise, I'd run Linux or would have considered a Mac. But, no choice.

[Clintmax]

120. Setting up the network is hard!

When I was setting up the one here in my house, I had to call the manufacturer of my router for help. I was frustrated to hells when I couldn't get it to work. But just a few minutes with them made all the difference!

[Call Me Wesley]

121. Bad thing was,

I forgot my router's password and couldn't set up a secured connection first. Then I found the post-it where I scribbled it down (of course, it wasn't with the routers manual but some place elsewhere.) Now it's all secured. ;)

[Clintmax]

124. That's good!

When I first set mine up, I didn't do a secured connection...then later found out someone in the apartment complex was using the signal to get free internet off me! THAT'S when I installed a password. Fuckers. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

125. You'd be surprised

at all the unsecured connections out there. Fortunately, none of my neighbours seem to have wireless access. My network is the only one around here, and they would have to take it from my cold, dead hands. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

128. LOL! That's the way I felt too!

I saw this strange computer in my network places and freaked! I shut it down, installed the security, and restarted. That put a stop to THAT. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

130. Not nice,

Internet access over another network is one thing, but access to shared folders and stuff is another thing. I might upgrade it once to a bit faster connection, right now I have 1.5 Mbits per second (I just wish it would be this speed once from all the other sides ...)

[Clintmax]

133. Well, I didn't want someone getting access off me anyway.

Let alone access to my folders and things. :grr:

[redwitch]

107. good morning Clintmax!

I am sleepy today, did not want to get out of bed. Winter is back here in upstate NY and I want to hibernate in my nice warm bed. I could sleep for hours! Probably because I got into bed last night, closed my eyes, and COULDN"T sleep. :mad: Insomnia drives me crazy. Or should I say "cazy"?

[Clintmax]

109. Good morning, Miss Red!

:hi:
I'm sorry you couldn't get to sleep. My Greekspeak has insomnia problems too, so I know what it's like. He says the best way to prevent it is to go to bed at the same exact time every night and get up at the same time every morning. Sometimes it doesn't work for him though. :shrug: Do you have some medicine you can take?

[redwitch]

112. No, but I have been tempted. Problem is...

by the time I realize I am having trouble getting to sleep, it is too late to take anything and still get up in the morning and have a clear head. I do try to keep to a schedule. Part of my problem is I worry about stuff too much. And late at night is apparently my favorite time for that.

[Clintmax]

114. That's Greekspeak's problem too.

He's the WORST worrier EVER. Nighttime is bad for that I guess, with lots of people.

[redwitch]

115. Tell him I sympathize.

It's pretty dumb of us. Worrying never helps anything really. I will think of him next time I am awake half the night. And now, off to work. Have a great day, it is always nice to talk to you! :hi:

[Clintmax]

119. Have a nice day at work, Miss Red!

I'll tell him! Thanks for stopping by today! It's always good to talk to you too! :hug:

[newyawker99]

108. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[Clintmax]

110. THERE'S Miss NewYawker!

I was wondering about you, my dear! I haven't seen you in a few days. I'm so happy to see you today! :bounce:

[newyawker99]

146. I have been around and busy with my mod duties.

I hope you have a great day! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

148. Yes, I'm sure you have been a busy lady!

It's good to see you today though! I'm glad you stopped by! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

122. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

:bounce: Yay! I didn't miss you yet today! Good to see you! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

123. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug::bounce:
I'm glad you didn't miss me today too! It's great to see you also! How have you been, my dear?

[AirmensMom]

126. I've had the flu!

But I'm better now. Imagine -- had to keep the house clean for the realtors while I tried to catch up on the rest and pour down all those liquids. That was a trip.

We're closing on the land this Friday. I'm SO excited!:bounce:

How have you been? I feel like I haven't seen you for AGES!

[Clintmax]

127. I'm doing just fine...

Been working a lot what with our GM on vacation. I'm sorry to hear you've had the flu. I HATE having the flu worse than anything! I'm sure you've had a time with everything and it sounds like things are proceeding apace with the land and your house! :bounce: It sure IS exciting! It HAS been sometime since we talked...but, we're here together now...so that's good! I'm going to have to go take Greekspeak over to FSU here in a few minutes, but I'll be right back, so don't go anywhere. I'll let you know when I'm going!

[AirmensMom]

129. OK. I'll be here for a little while longer.

And I'll check back, too. Someone's coming to see the house today, so I guess I should scoop the kitty box. One day last week, I came in after someone had been here and noticed that one of the kitties left a furball on the floor. Oops! And Sophie, the long-haired one, deposited one of those poop "hangers" (sticks to her fur and then drops off at inconvenient locations) right in front of the bathroom door. But they must have done it all after the people left, because the realtor said no one mentioned it. They've behaved since then. Kids!

Is it as GORGEOUS a day up there as it is here? It poured like anything on Saturday and has been chamber-of-commerce weather ever since. Cool, dry, sunny, blue skies. I'm opening up the house again today to let all the breezes come in. :)

It's sort of funny -- I got sick the day after my brother left. My sister got sick right after he left her place in November. He must be a carrier. :rofl:

Say hi to Greekspeak! :hi:

[Clintmax]

131. I'm sure it's been a trial!

Hairballs and hangers! :rofl: Embarassing, to say the LEAST! We're overcast up here right now. It's going to be partly sunny and 61 up here today, so it is going to be very nice too! :woohoo:

I think yes, your brother is carrying the flu around with him and giving to everybody as he goes along. :spank: Greekspeak says hello back, Miss Airmens!

[AirmensMom]

135. They're plotting against us.

:tinfoilhat: The kitties don't want to move. :rofl: I was mortified! So how are your fur kids doing? Got any recent pictures?

I'll send some of our sunny warm weather up to you ... can you feel it now? :bounce:

[Clintmax]

142. I'm sure you were!

I would be too! Tony and Bandit are doing fine. Tony is growing like crazy! I haven't uploaded any new pictures of him, but I need to. Once I get back from taking Greekspeak over to FSU, I'll do that so you can see how big he's getting!

[AirmensMom]

162. Now my ISP is out to get me.

Went down right after I wrote ... just came back up again.

Yes, I would like to see some more pictures of Tony! :bounce:

137. Hey, Clint!

I'm glad I get to see you late this morning! :hug: Congratulations on your time off! I'm not sure how it happened but we had no alarm set this morning so I am well-rested, just behind schedule. No harm done--and I made espresso in one of those stovetop chambered percolators(?) this morning to get me up to speed as quickly as possible. Now I feel like the Flash! See ya!

[tjwmason]

138. I was wondering when you were going to turn-up.

:hi:

I always knew you were a super-hero too. :hug:

[Clintmax]

139. Hail, Swimboy!

:hi:
Or shall I say the Flash Man! :rofl: It's good to see you too! I'm off to go take Greekspeak over to FSU, but I'll be right back. If you can...hang out till I get back here!

[In_The_Wind]

141. Goooood Morning!

[Clintmax]

143. Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
Good to see you today! I am going to go take Greekspeak over to the college right now, but I'll be right back. So, I'll talk to you shortly!

[Clintmax]

149. I have returned!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

155. I'm so glad I didn't totally walk away from the computer for today.

I swear if I ever move again, I'm going where it doesn't snow.

Brrr ...

Is Greekspeak taking some college courses?

[Clintmax]

157. I had my fill of cold too...

When we lived in Missouri. Now we're down here and it's much better. Greekspeak is working on his Doctorate here at FSU. He has a few more years I think, then we're not sure where we're going to go. He wants to be a professor, so it will depend on where he gets hired.

160. I love college towns!

When I was young I thought about becoming a college teacher.


I've gone back for several classes just for the sheer joy of the experience ~ to hear young active minds at work is amazing.

[Clintmax]

161. Yes, it is.

Because he is over there all the time, I spend a lot of time over there also. I tell ya, with so many kids around all the time, it looks, for all the world, like a full scale riot in progress! :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

163. It's a wonderful way of staying young.

These lil' towns up here roll up the sidewalks at sundown.

I was talking with my house mate about where I'd move if I going south. She suggested New Mexico because it's warm and she believes that you don't need a lot of money to be comfortable there. I'm more inclined to be within a few hours drive (or preferably less) from the ocean.

[lizziegrace]

150. Heya Clint!

Good morning! :hi:

[Clintmax]

153. Morning, Miss Lizzie!

:hi:
How are you today? Good I hope!

[lizziegrace]

164. Peachy!

What are you doing on your day off?

:hi:
