[Clintmax]

:hug::hi:
I just checked and you're in there, my dear!

[SeattleGirl]

12. Fabulous!

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

28. I didn't think I missed you!

:loveya:

[Bzzzz]

6. Good morning Clintmax...

How was your Valentine's Day??? Mine was very nice. :)

[Clintmax]

10. Morning, Bzzzz!

:hi:
Mine was wonderful too! It's good to see you today!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good monring Clint

:hi:

I am back in time from a meeting to say good morning to you :)

[Clintmax]

11. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I've missed you the past couple of days! I'm glad you're here now, though! How have you been? Anything exciting happening?

[MissHoneychurch]

47. I thought I posted Monday

even though I was off.

Yesterday I got a very sweet text message from my last date. I'll pm you the text. And you let me know what you think :)

[Clintmax]

54. Hmmm...did you? You might have...

I get my days mixed up sometimes. Yes, do...I'll let you know!

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Yes I did

here is the proof :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4737282&mesg_id=4737293


Looking forward to your answer regarding the text message. Which came at 6.45am btw.

[Clintmax]

67. Oh, I believe you did, my dear...

Like I said...I just get my days mixed up sometimes. going to read the text now...

[MissHoneychurch]

77. I am sure I had troubles remembering everything myself

you answer to so many people every day in your thread, it is hard to keep up :hug:

[Clintmax]

79. Yes, sometimes it is...

But I ALWAYS enjoy trying! :woohoo: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

78. What a SWEET message, Miss Honey!

That was SO nice of him too! I love it that he called himself your Superman! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

93. the "your" is important

when he sent me messages before, he just signed as "superman xxx"

[Clintmax]

96. Well then...

that IS important! I'm very happy for you my dear! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

99. I hope I see him again soon

I want to spend more time with him.

[Clintmax]

106. I don't blame you! I'd want to spend more time with him too!

:loveya::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

110. HEY!!!

He is mine :rofl:

[Clintmax]

113. Yes, I know! ROFL!

:rofl:
And I hope you get to spend some more time with him too!

[MissHoneychurch]

119. Thank you Clintmax

you are too kind :rofl:

[Clintmax]

122. You're welcome, My Dear!

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

136. Oh, I forgot to tell you

of course I got a text message also from Ex-MrWonderful. He just wrote "Happy Valtentines Day". How boring is that compared to the other message I got?

[Clintmax]

140. Mmm hmm...

There's no comparison between the two is there?

[MissHoneychurch]

145. no, none at all

which is a good thing.

I knew I would get a message from MrNotsoWonderful. But I was excited when I got the other one and then so early also. It ment a lot to me.

[Clintmax]

146. That's great!

I hope it continues to go so good between you two, Miss Honey! :loveya: You deserve it! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

148. I hope so too

I really do. I try not to bug him too much, meaning I am not sending him text messages every day or call him all the time. I let it go slowly. That is why this message yesterday was so important to me. It showed me that he is still interested even though I haven't heard from him since last Wednesday. I just think that if he wouldn't be interested anymore he wouldn't have sent me that message with those words "My heart is yours" and "Your superman". Do you understand what I am trying to say?

[Clintmax]

150. I certainly do!

I didnt' know you hadn't talked to or heard from him in a week! I don't think I could go that long without talking to my man!

[MissHoneychurch]

153. I talked on the phone with him last Tuesday

that is when he answered his cell with "Hi sweetie" and gave me his home phone number. Wednesday I called and asked if he is off the that weekend. He had to work. He also told me that he is really busy that week. Wednesday I called him around 7pm and he just came home. I called him yesterday also after 7pm and he wasn't home yet. So I do believe him when he says he is busy.

I can't go that long myself that is why I called. I just try not to overdo it.

[Clintmax]

155. Yeah, don't overdo...

but it sounds like you're not doing too much. So you should be OK! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

159. I really hope

because I am really interested in this guy. And it already seems longer than it is since I saw him last.

[Clintmax]

162. I know how the times between can seem like a lifetime!

:hug::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

163. It sure seems to me like forever

and not only like a week and a half :banghead:

[Clintmax]

164. I know.

You poor girl! Can you talk to him soon?

[MissHoneychurch]

165. I will keep trying

actually he asked me last Wednesday when I am home that Thursday. But on that day I went to the opera with some friends. So I take it as a good sign that he wanted to call. I don't know if I get around to call him tonight because I help a friend to pick up a cat she is going to take care of for a month. And she will call between 7 and 8pm. So maybe I try again tomorrow. I will see.
I told him I have b-day Friday. Maybe he remembers :)

[Clintmax]

166. Well, which ever day you can...

I hope you can talk to him soon! It sounds like he wants to talk to you too! That's wonderful! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

167. Thank you Clintmax

you can tell I need some assurance in my lovelife. I might be secure in other things but when it comes to love "MOOOMMMMYYYY" :rofl:

[Clintmax]

169. ROFL!

:rofl:
You're welcome, my dear! :loveya: I hope it turns out very good for you! :loveya:

[Callalily]

112. Good morning MissH

So your new guy is your "superman"! That's so sweet!
Are the two of you planning anything for the weekend? Maybe a little
Wishing you a great day!

[MissHoneychurch]

Unfortunately this weekend won't be possible to see him

my mom and her bf are coming to me. And it is a bit early to introduce him yet :)

Check your pm's, I will send you the whole message.

[Call Me Wesley]

3. Good morning, Clintmax!

:hi: Glad to hear you're off work!

[Clintmax]

14. Hail, Wesley!

:hi:
I hope you're feeling better, Man! Are you staying warm over there in Switzerland?

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Much better today, thank you.

And as long as the heater works, we're pretty much warm. I can still feel my sinuses, though.

[Clintmax]

27. I'm glad to hear that!

So let's hope that the furnace doesn't give out! I'd hate for you and Heidi to turn into big ice cubes or something! :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

35. We'd just stay

at the ice hotel, I think. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

37. The Ice Hotel

That's just silly! :rofl: I'd freeze my little butt off!

[Call Me Wesley]

50. There are several

and I guess their business goes well. You just have to bring warm clothes ...

[Clintmax]

56. I think I'd still freeze!

I'll take 70 or 80 degree weather, thank you very much. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

63. Honestly,

I can't wait for spring. And I really wonder how my Kois are doing in their 'Ice Hotel.'

[Clintmax]

70. Yes...I hope they're OK.

That water has GOT to be cold! They're probably staying on the bottom where it's a little warmer maybe...

[Call Me Wesley]

86. They are staying at the bottom,

but I doubt that it's really warmer there. Theoretically, it should, but only if you have a small sized lake as a pond. But I have them for 4 years now and it was always fine. here's one of them, 'Winky.'

[Clintmax]

89. Awww...look how CUTE he is!

I hope the poor things are OK. Since they have been in past years, I'm sure they are again. I want a Koi pond!

[Call Me Wesley]

94. No, you don't want a Koi pond ...

;) Because you will build one and fill it with Kois, and the next year you will build a bigger one, and, and ... It's pretty addictive and also high maintenance. And in your climate, you'd have to feed them (and they eat good and not cheap) all year long, with filters and stuff running.

My best friend (who got addicted to them seeing my pond) is now extending his pond for the third time.

[Clintmax]

101. Well, I couldn't have one here at the apartment anyway...

But they sure look fun to have! EVERYTHING takes work...any kind of pet. Tony and Bandit take a lot of my time around here. Especially Tony. He's still just a puppy and he always wants to be right with me no matter where I am.

[Call Me Wesley]

105. Tony!

I guess he and bandit are now doing together well? It always amazes me that some people still think cats and dogs can't go along together. When I go walking with my sister (who has two dogs), most of our cats are following; and people can't believe the sight.

:hi: to Tony and Bandit!

[Clintmax]

109. Yes, they're doing fine together...

It's so funny because they chase each other around the house, playing. Those two keep me in stiches all day long when they do that! :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

118. My sister's poodle

and the newest cat she has, were crazy for each other from the beginning. She even found a way to just jump on him and stay on him while he was running wild. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

124. That's good.

I was HOPING they would get along when we brought Tony home. In the beginnig, he was smaller than Bandit...now...he's quite a bit bigger.

[Call Me Wesley]

Kudos to Bandit then.

He just could have eaten Tony in the beginning! :rofl: Nah, I'm sure they're best buddies now.

I have to leave for a while. :hi: Have a wonderful day! :pals:

[Clintmax]

133. You have a wonderful day too, Wesley!

Thank you for spending time with me today! :hug::pals:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Good morning Clintmax!

It wasn't romantic (kids were involved) but it was fun. My son (7) needed daddy to take him out so that he could "get something done", and that something was going out to get something for Mama that he had seen the other day. :) We had a very nice time, glad you did too!

Today, I am working on an appraisal that is like a bad penny...it just keeps coming up. Sigh...I'll be glad to see the end of this one! Have a great day! :hug:

[Clintmax]

17. Hello, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
It sounds like you had a GREAT time! I'm so glad! And yes, we had a fun time too. I hate it when things keep popping up that appraisal. I have stuff like that happen sometimes too, even in retail.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Good morning, Clintmax!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

19. Morning, Miss Seattle!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:
I hope you're doing OK out there on the West Coast!

[tjwmason]

13. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

I'm just wondering what "I slept well" is a metaphor for. ;)

This morning I didn't even wear a coat to work, just my scarf, it's beautiful and sunny too. :bounce:

We're on Latin anthems by Thomas Tallis (he was around during the time of Elizabeth I F.Y.I.), currently 'Loquebantur variis linguis'.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

21. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
You're thinking correct, Man...I had other influences help me get to sleep last night! :rofl::bounce: The weather here is changing to warmer too. We're going to have 70's the rest of the week and 80 degrees on Friday! :woohoo:

I would think the Latin Anthems would be fantastic for work! I hope you enjoy them!

[tjwmason]

29. They do work very well.

Especially because of the high renaissance style, different singers are singing different words at any one point so the word don't distract. The very best for me though is organ - I've really got to get to work ripping the Bach organ works (they take up 20 C.D.s just by themselves) as they are very good at aiding concentration.

We're not quite at the 70s, the B.B.C. reckon a maximum of 51 today - staying in the high 40s for the rest of the week.

[Clintmax]

36. I may have to look one of them up on Rhapsody and give it a listen.

20 CDs? TWENTY??? Are you kidding me?

[tjwmason]

51. The most famous is probably Spem in Alium - which is gorgeous.

But anything by him with a Latin title should be good - indeed his English anthems are gorgeous too.

That collection means all of the organ works which Bach ever wrote, given that he was an organist who lived to 65 it's not really shocking.

This collections manages to get it onto 17 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000041KD/qid=1140002887/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/026-2462542-1350028

His complete cantatas are easily pushing 100 C.D.s - he had to write one each week, actually starting with drawing the lines on the page, hand-writing each copy for the singers and instrumentalists, rehersing all so it was ready for Sunday morning.

[Clintmax]

57. Wow! I didn't realize.

Amazing. I'll give Spem in Alium a listen and let you know!

[tjwmason]

74. Are you up to anything stunning today?

As you're free from work?

[Clintmax]

80. Haven't really decided on what to do actually...

Spending my morning here on DU is first...after that...:shrug:

[tjwmason]

88. We'd certainly miss you if you weren't here.

Pity I don't know more about what's in Tallahassee or I could make some suggestions - perhaps you should run a poll and let us all decide what you're going to do.

[Clintmax]

91. There are lots of things to do...

We have an IMAX theater here and it would be cool to go see something there...Brokeback is still playing and it would be good to see it again before it leaves the theater...

[tjwmason]

120. Do they still run matinees these days?

I can't say that I'm big cinema fan.

[Clintmax]

126. Yes, they do.

No cinema either, huh?

[tjwmason]

132. I've never really been into films.

thus not really into the cinema.

[Clintmax]

135. Ahhh...

You never did say...did you ever get to see Brokeback Mountain?

[Robeson]

16. Morning Clint!....

...glad all is well! Hump day! Time to wind this week down....:hi:

[Clintmax]

22. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
Yes it is! Time to wind the week down! It's flown by at warp speed to me! I have to work on Saturday, but I do have Sunday off. Greekspeak and I have been discussing it and we're thinking that it may be a better idea to buy a house before we go purchase a new car...what do you think?

[Robeson]

24. Are you currently renting?

[Clintmax]

26. Yes, sir...

And we need more room, and these apts are just cheap hovels. :rofl:

[Robeson]

34. As long as you can make the mortgage payments, then yes, .....

...you should purchase a home. As soon as this disaster leaves the White House, the rates that have been artificially kept low, will start to rise. If you can get into a home, do it now. Also remember, you are just pissing your rent away. Once you get a mortgage, you'll be able to write your payments off as a tax deduction. Also, if you or your partner work out of your home, or are thinking about running a business out of your home, then you can write off almost everything you purchase for that home. Just some things to to think about.

[Clintmax]

40. I know about the rent thing...

I've wanted to buy a house for a long time. It may be worth it to talk to a mortgage broker and see what I need to do to get pre-qualified. I didn't know I could take the mortgage payments as a tax deduction! :woohoo:

[Robeson]

48. Actually, it's the interest on your mortgage payments you can write...

...off, but that's what you'll be paying for a long time, to begin with. They front load the interest payments, so you really want be paying on the principal for a long time. This is what I do for a living. I rehab old or foreclosed homes, and resale them. That way, I'm writing off payments for my home, and the one I'm working on. The Repukes have been trying to end writing off a second home. Just another example of how they are trying to screw the average guy, so that billionaires can get a tax break. I lose mine, so that they can maintain theirs....:grr:

[Clintmax]

61. Yes, the mother f-ers don't care about US!

I'm thinking a call to a broker is in order here. Thank you for all the info, Man!

[XemaSab]

18. Good morning Clint!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

23. Morning, Xema!

:hi:
How's every little thing today?

[XemaSab]

31. Things are pretty good

If you want ALL the gruesome details, I went and bought wood for the planter box yesterday, but it's supposed to rain soon, so all I can do tomorrow is apply the water seal to the boards, and maybe predrill the holes for the screws.

Day after tomorrow I can assemble the sides, but I probably won't be able to put it all together until monday or so after the rain has stopped. :(

How are things with you?

(edit: stupid spelling error)

[Clintmax]

44. Dont' you hate it when outside influences impede something like that?

I hate it when stuff like that happens! :grr: Everything is great with me! No complaints. Just trying to decide what to do with my day off today.

[NMMNG]

20. Good morning Clint!

Romantic night indeed. I spent $620 on my car (not to mention 2.5 hours at the dealership). On the way home I figured I might as well treat myself to some Chinese takeout so I wouldn't have to cook when I got in at nearly 8:30pm. I got some Buddha's Delight and veggie fried rice, and even have leftovers for tonight.



"Total Eclipse"...another favorite from my high school days. Darn, I'm really dating myself here. :-(

[Clintmax]

25. Good morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry you had to spend so much time and money at the dealership on Valentines day. x( Both our cars need a little maintenance too, but I've been putting off taking them in because I know it's going to be expensive.

Hey, that song is from my High School days also, so you're not the only one! :rofl:

[NMMNG]

32. Oh well, it's not like I had a hot date or anything

So I just spent the time DUing on their computer. After I got home I watched TV and ate the Chinese food. Then I came here to work for another exciting graveyard shift.

It was more expensive than a hot date, but no wet spot to sleep on. :silly:

[Clintmax]

45. ROFL!

No wet spots are good! :rofl: I hope it's been an easy shift for you, though.

[LaurenG]

30. Good Morning

I had a great day yesterday. I'm glad you did too. I hope you have another really nice one today.:loveya:

[Clintmax]

33. Good morning, Miss OhioB!

:hi:
Why thank you! I hope you have a great day today too! Do you have any big plans so far?

[LaurenG]

43. Well I just want to have fun

but no plans yet as to how. I'll try to come up with some fun thing to do by the time I get off work. What are your plans?

[Clintmax]

46. Dunno...

I can't decide. Any suggestions?

[LaurenG]

73. Well I like the thought of

a bottle of wine, some homemade soup and bread (or store bought and put on good dishes) and some really good music or a good video. Then the evening could just take its course. If it wasn't a work night I might go out for drinks and a movie or dancing. I'll have to wait until Friday for that though. Whatever you do I hope it's great.

[Clintmax]

83. Well thank you!

There are a few things I'd LIKE to do...but not sure if any of them will get done. Who wants to clean house all day on their day off? :rofl:

[Scooter24]

38. Good Morning everyone!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

41. LOL! Hail, Scooter!

:hi::hug:
That's hilarious up there man! "Googie"! :rofl: How are ya today, Dude?

[Scooter24]

84. Hey Clint!

:hug:

I'm doing good. I'm hungry and am trying to decide if I should make some cinnamon rolls. I am really impatient. lol.

How's it going in your neck of the woods?

[Clintmax]

87. It's going great, Man!

I freakin LOVE homemade cinnamon rolls...but boy are they a MESS to make!

[sbj405]

39. Good morning.

Couldn't sleep was up at 4 am. Too early for work.

[Clintmax]

42. Morning, Sbj!

:hi:
I'm sorry you couldn't sleep. My Greekspeak has that problem a lot too.

[sbj405]

52. The nice thing about my SO being out of town is I can make lots of noise

in the morning when I wake up early. :-)

[Clintmax]

65. Hey, that's true!

I do the same thing if I'm alone in the house.

[KitchenWitch]

49. Morning Clintmax

Had kind of a hellish day yesterday...Too much to do with not enough time. Plus my scorekeeping duties for my son's hoops team were complicated by the other team's coach being in my face for the entire game. The team is no longer undefeated, they lost the game last night by one point. Both my son and I can handle the loss, but it is the fact that one of the other team's players (the one who happened to be their second best shooter) got away with a bunch of unsportsmanlike conduct throughout the entire game. Even the other team's scorekeeper (who was running the clock) told me that he felt he should have been ejected.

Oh well.

[Clintmax]

53. Morning, Miss Kitchen!

:hi::hug:
Well, I'm sorry to hear about all THAT! Where was his parents and why didn't they intervene? I'll never understand why kids have to be that way while they're playing a game. It comes from the parents, I'm sure...there...I've answered my own question I think.

Hopefully, today will be much better for you, my dear!

[KitchenWitch]

60. Well, the parents of the child were nowhere to be seen

I am guessing single parent household...in the absence of parents, for sure the coach should have benched the kid. I would have if I had been the coach.

Oh well.

[Clintmax]

66. Yes, me too...

And yet, he/she didn't. :grr:

[KitchenWitch]

68. No

and he proceded to make my job exponentially difficult. I finally snapped and told him not to talk to my unless the clock was stopped.

[Clintmax]

72. Well good for you!

No sense making things so damned difficult!

[KitchenWitch]

75. Yeah

He said something very snarky to me when I told him not to talk to me unless the clock was stopped, then I said, "When you talk to me, I cannot see when your team scores a basket, and since I am the official scorekeeper, if your basket does not get recorded it is not my problem."

He STFU after that.

[Clintmax]

92. LOL!

I bet he did! :rofl: I wish I could have been there to see and hear THAT! :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

100. I was ready to slap the taste out of his mouth.

[Clintmax]

111. ROFL! My Grandmother used to say that too!

:rofl:

[entanglement]

55. Morning, clintmax

:hi:

[Clintmax]

62. Hail, Entanglement!

:hi:
How are you today?

[entanglement]

69. Rather busy day ahead

Enjoying a steaming hot cup of coffee as I type.
I'm addicted to coffee on weekdays and alcohol on weekends.
:)

[Clintmax]

71. I drink coffee all day long...

Since I'm off work...it should be a lazy day for me!

[Dinger]

58. Hi All, I Usually Check Into DU Before I Go To Work . . .

Has almost made me late, but hopefully my DU addiction will remain (relatively speaking) in control.

:)


My Song Of The Day (I'll listen to on the way to work):
Cocaine Blues, by Johnny Cash

[Clintmax]

64. Morning, Dinger!

:hi:
I've had the same problem too. DU making me almost late to work. So you're not the only one! Boy...Johnny Cash is popular these days!

[Dinger]

82. Hi : ) Well, It's Getting About That Time . . .

but I'll check in at work too. I have this addiction you know . . .

[Clintmax]

85. Me too...

But I can't get online at work. I work in retail, so I'm on the sales floor all day long helping customers.

[buddhamama]

76. Hello Clintmax

and good morning ! I had a lovely evening. Glad to hear your night was nice and romantic.

Lucky you having the day off. I am not so lucky. It's OK though, because i slept well too and i'm ready to go.

after a few more of these, of course :donut:

[Clintmax]

81. Good morning, Mama!

:hi:
I'm happy to hear all that good news from you! :bounce: What line of work are you in?

[buddhamama]

90. happy happy

i am generally a happy person. there is lots i could get down about i guess but, why? i am alive, i have a wonderful son, good friends...life is good.

i am in quality assurance.

enjoy your day off Clintmax, make it a good one! :hi:

[Clintmax]

95. I sure am going to try, Mama!

I work in retail so I work with the public all day. So that makes every day different! I hop eyou have a great day too! :bounce:

[Callalily]

97. Morning Clint

Glad to hear that you and Greekspeak had a great evening. I just stayed in and read. Just started a most interesting book, "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. It's most fascinating, and quite an eye opener.
We're expecting a snowstorm here starting tonight. I sure hope they are right. Maybe, just maybe I won't be able to get into work tomorrow.

[Clintmax]

103. Good morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today! I love a good book too! Sometimes you can get all caught up in it and before you know it, HOURS have gone by!

Hoping for a lot of snow is how I used to be when I was a kid. That way...no school! :bounce:

[Callalily]

123. I truly am praying

for a snowstorm. Have been seriously thinking about using a sick day. Just need a day off other than the weekend, and anyway, I've got a (please forgive here) brazillion days coming!

[Clintmax]

128. You know...I have lots of them too...

Sick days and personal days...and I never take ANY of them. I really should too because I just lose them if I don't.

[MissHoneychurch]

108. Good morning SimplyF

:hi:

I allowed myself to steal your reading smilie. I hope you forgive me :D

[Callalily]

117. Nothing to forgive.

What are smilies among friends anyway? Thought you may like this one too

[MissHoneychurch]

121. Oh yes I do

saving it in my photobucket account or as soon as photobucket is up again. Thanks

[Clintmax]

98. This is post 7000!

An amazing number for me to be sure! Thank you EVERYONE for being here with me every day! I love spending my morning with you! :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

107. Congrats, Clintmax!

:toast:

[Clintmax]

115. Thank you, Wesley!

:pals::toast:
Tell Miss Heidi I said hello, would you?

[In_The_Wind]

114. Congratulations about your Hump Day success!

Ya Know I Love You! But I'm going back to bed! I need sleep!

[Clintmax]

116. Thank you, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
Have a good rest, my dear! :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

130. Thank you cause ~ It's all DU's fault that I'm missing sleep!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Clintmax]

131. DU can certainly do that!

I've been close to being late to work several times! :loveya:

[redwitch]

102. Good Morning Clintmax!

I slept well too. Hooray! That's one good night in a row. :bounce:
I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day!
Hubby gave me an email for Valentine's Day- a love letter, just what I asked for. It is titled "The Redhead" and it is adorable. It chronicles our lives from our first meeting and includes all the highlights. It is funny and sweet and JUST what I wanted. I love him very much.
AND... My big sister wants to take me on a cruise to Bermuda for my birthday this year. Yay big sister! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

104. Morning, Miss Red!

It sounds like you had a great day yesterday too! I'm so happy for ya! The love letter sounds so sweet! And it sounds to me like you have a wonderful big sister too! THAT will be a good time!

[swimboy]

125. Hey there, Clintman!

So there is a little afterglow surrounding your house today? :evilgrin: I'm glad you have the day off today to recover. It's great to see you today! :hi:

[Clintmax]

127. Hail, Swimboy!

Yes, there is! :woohoo: It's great to see you too, Man! Have you been in the water today?

[swimboy]

137. No, I swam yesterday morning,

knowing we'd go out for a big dinner last night. I would sink to the bottom of the pool this morning! :rofl: Plus we finished a bottle of wine between us so I'm just a little bit dull around the edges today. I'll have some coffee as soon as I get to work.

[Clintmax]

143. Ah OK...

Yes, I wouldn't want you to sink to the bottom, Dude. So I'm glad you showed prudence in staying out of the pool today so you wouldn't! Why not have some coffee before you go to work?

[swimboy]

151. Vicious circle--

You have to have coffee to get it together and you have to have it together to make coffee! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

152. LOL! I never thought about it that way!

I can make a pot of coffee in my sleep, Man! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

129. Good morning swimboy

finally we are here at the same time

:hi:

[swimboy]

139. Hurrah!

:hi: How are you? I hear there is a super man in your orbit! :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

142. I hope there is

I am still finding out. But he looks good :)

I am fine. Week is almost over. Even though I would like to go home already. It is rainy outside and I want to cuddle. Darn work :eyes:

How are you?

[swimboy]

154. Sunny here and will get to the 60s (16-18 C)

I'm good. A little fuzzy from wine with dinner last night. Coffee will clear things up!

[MissHoneychurch]

157. I had champagne yesterday at lunch

my friend and co-worker had b-day last Sunday. The same will be again Friday when I will have my little b-day party at work.

[swimboy]

178. I hope you have a great day on your birthday

My birthday is one of my favorite days of the year. On another day a person can tell you "It's not all about you." But on my birthday it IS all about me! :rofl: So you should have a great time on yours!

[MissHoneychurch]

184. I am sure I will have a good time

I only need to work half a day. I will bring champagne and brownies to work. We gonna sit together for an hour or two at lunch time and then I can go home. Late afternoon my mom and her bf are coming and we going out for dinner in the evening. We picked a Persian restaurant. Need to go by today after work and reserve a table. Saturday we are going to do something in Frankfurt and Sunday they will leave after a late breakfast I guess. It will be a nice weekend.

Yes, b-days are about ourselves. We better celebrate us then if it ain't possible on other days :rofl:

[tjwmason]

134. Good morning swimboy.

Hope that everything's superbly wonderful for you.

[swimboy]

141. And a great good afternoon to you from morning world!

:hug: How are you today? Any blind Ukranians giving you fits?

[tjwmason]

147. Blind Ukrainian needs glasses.

:wow: She'd been having trouble with her eyes, and needs glasses :wow: I would never have guessed. :eyes:

I'm actually feeling sorry for her, her boss has been messing her around a bit (not intentionally) but then she refuses to speak to him about it...she'd definitely switch jobs if she could, but because of her visa that becomes very difficult for the moment.

But it's nowhere near as bad as yesterday (not least because she's only been in the office for about quarter of an hour), I was very appreciative of having two gorgeous hunks cheer me up then :hug: :loveya:

Did you have a good time last night?

[swimboy]

156. Very nice evening at a new place downtown.

I will see you again shortly. As we say in the vernacular--I have to get my hiney in to work! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[tjwmason]

161. I just hope that that vernacular doesn't mean something rude.

Glad you had a jolly evening - hope to hear from you soon. :hug:

[swimboy]

180. Well, it's nursery school rude

not adolescent rude. There are much more crass ways of saying the same thing.

So MAHNY was cheering you up yesterday, wasn't he? He is quite a charmer. I'm not sure how he missed the Brokeback Mountain Cowboy display thread. Now, which do you think, I was the only one that saw what I saw there, or just the only one to comment on it?

[tjwmason]

185. Now I've been back to look at it - yes.

But I wouldn't have seen it had you not mentioned - so it's all your fault, and your dirty mind. :spank:

He's definitely a charmer - indeed he goes beyond charm sometime :evilgrin:

Are now well coffeed? Life gets so much better at the bottom of the mug - I've just finished lunch, so la vie est belle (et les hommes sont beaux aussi). :loveya:

[swimboy]

186. Hah! Coffee and a spanking

That should get me up to speed! I finally remembered to bring some of my own tea in today. It's nice they have tea for us (really) but it is some generic "Coffee Concepts" teabags with a plastic lead that ALWAYS tears the bag when you gingerly separate it from where it is GLUED to the side of the bag. (This concludes today's mini-rant against the manufacturer, not my employer.)

And now, if I were good, I should vanish from DU and concentrate on the work before me.

But you never know. :evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

187. That sounds horrific.

The tea-bags I mean - we have tea-bags, instant 'coffee' and decaf instant 'coffee'.

I have a supply of ground coffee and of green-tea (no damn bags), along with a single-mug coffee filter and a Japanese tea-mug.

I've actually got some work done this afternoon :wow: but the alternative was lots of irritated employees chasing me for their money....

I'm now very tempted to send you a "work warning" P.M. just to make sure that you're distracted from work :evilgrin:

[swimboy]

188. Well I'm glad I stayed around long enough to say

Please go right ahead! :evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

189. It's your own fault matey.

:evilgrin: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

138. swimboy

:loveya:

[swimboy]

144. Good morning, Joani!

:loveya: I'm jealous you can go back to bed. I certainly would this morning if I could!

[In_The_Wind]

149. I stayed up way too late playing with my West Coast friends.

I won't be sleeping for very long but even another hour is a good idea at this point.

Have a grand day my friend.

[newyawker99]

158. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[Clintmax]

160. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today!

[AirmensMom]

168. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

:woohoo: You're off work today? :bounce:

My cold is back. *sniff* Someone's coming over to see the house (will someone ever BUY it?) and the movers are coming to do an estimate. Doesn't sound like much, but it's more than I feel like doing.

[Clintmax]

170. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I'm off work today. I'm sorry you're not feeling well again. :cry::loveya: I guess sometimes it takes time to get things done with buying and selling a house. I hope it happens for you soon, my dear!

[AirmensMom]

171. Thanks.

*sniff* :loveya: I can't believe we've only been doing this for 18 days -- feels like forever. We did close on the land, though. I'll post pics when I feel better.

What will you do with your day off?

[Clintmax]

172. I don't know...

I can't decide. There are a few things I really NEED to get done, but I don't really WANT to do. I'm sure you know how that is. I must go scoop that litter box in a few minutes. :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

173. Good idea ...

scoop the litter box. :rofl: I have to do the same ... and then swiffer the floor, turn on all the lights and fans, open the curtains, do the laundry.

Did you and greekspeak have a good Valentine's Day? :loveya: I haven't read through the thread yet, so maybe you already answered that. :hide:

[Clintmax]

174. Yes we did, thank you!

I hope you and HarleyDad had a good day yesterday too! I just wish I could decide what to do today.

[AirmensMom]

175. Well, he had to work.

But I made him a card and he bought a heart-shaped cake from Publix :9. We watched Mrs. Doubtfire while we ate spaghetti and drank wine. We're too old to celebrate more than that. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

176. Too old my foot!

:rofl:
Still...sounds like a nice evening to me! I think I'm going to get off here and try to decide what to do. I'm glad I got to see you today!

[AirmensMom]

177. Glad to see you, too!

:hug: :loveya:

Get that kitty box scooped ... and I'll do the same as soon as I finish my orange juice. Have a great day! :hi:

[Clintmax]

179. You have a great day too, Miss Airmens!

Tell Mister Harley I said Hello too! :loveya::hug: Talk to you tomorrow! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

181. I'll do that!

And you say hi to greekspeak.:loveya: :hug:

If you don't hear from me tomorrow, it's just because I didn't get my lazy butt out of bed in time. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

183. LOL!

Hey, there are days when I don't want to get out of bed either. It happens to the best of us, let me tell ya! But, what I usually do is think...I gotta get up and get the Morning Crew started!

[Clintmax]

182. Well, folks...I'm out for now!

It was good seeing everyone today! Same time, same place tomorrow! Take care!

Clint
