Good Tuesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
How are you today? Welcome to the Early Morning Crew for this last day of February! :bounce: We got through Monday, so it's clear sailing from here on out, says I!

I had a rough day yesterday at the store. I pulled a muscle in my back back lifting a 130 pound glass table top, and so now I'm a little sore. x( I'll be OK, but it's my own damned fault, lifting the stupid thing by myself. Aleve...here I come. :rofl:

Are you ready to get this day started? Me too. So let's do it! :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Good morning, darlin'!!!

Please take care of yourself, and try not to let your back get too bad! :loveya:

[billyskank]

4. You never sleep!

Is there like two SeattleGirls, working shifts? :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Oh, my secret is out!

I've been cloned! Though I've also been sworn to secrecy. No one must know who is the "real" Seattle girl, and who is the "cloned" SeattleGirl! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

5. Good morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug:
I'll be fine, my dear. Just pulled a muscle trying to be too macho. "Who needs help with this little old glass? Here...I'll just do it by myself..." :rofl:

Are you doing OK today? :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Oh, yes the old "Macho Macho Man" schtich!

Be as macho as you want darlin', but don't kill youreslf in the process! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

23. I know...I need to watch it...

Us guys are silly sometimes. :silly:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Hey gf

:hi:

you seem to be quiet these days (or did you run wild when I wasn't around?)

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

14. I'm a little quiet.

I know that's shocking, but sometiems I actually get in that kind of mood.!

[MissHoneychurch]

19. not really shocking

you will be quiet for a while and then come back with force :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

36. ...

:hug:

[billyskank]

3. Hey Clint

:hi:

Be careful with your back, dude.

[Clintmax]

7. Hail, Billy!

:hi:
Are you still trying to find things to do at work?

[billyskank]

12. Yeah, although I thought of something I needed to do anyway

I am testing something I wrote earlier. I have only found one bug so far, although I've had to correct so many mistakes in my testingh scripts! :crazy:

[Clintmax]

24. LOL! Testing the testing scripts!

Funny how that sort of stuff happens, huh?

[SeattleGirl]

15. billy darlin;!!!!

Nice to see you, as always. :loveya:

[billyskank]

18. Hey SG

:hi: :loveya:

[tjwmason]

45. Good morning billy.

:hi:

Hope that life's good for you today.

[billyskank]

50. Hi mason

:hi: Things are going okay here. How about yout good self?

[tjwmason]

52. My good self is on long-term sick leave.

My naughty self is doing very well though. :D :pals:

I've only removed one monitor power-cable today......which is pretty mild.

[billyskank]

62. Are you saving yourself for some hearty jape later on

in the day? :D

[tjwmason]

104. It depends.

I'm normally reactive in my beastliness.

Mad Ukrainian office-mate does things like leaving the door open (thus causing a draught - then she complains that it's cold :eyes: ), and so we respond by removing her telephone, unplugging her keyboard......

If she's well-behaved than so am I normally.

[swimboy]

173. Good morning, TJ!

:hi: :hug: How did all yesterday's hijinks play out at work?

[tjwmason]

176. Shrieks and howls.

The usual......

I fear that they haven't quite stopped today either - as per P.M. and e-mail.

:loveya:

[Katherine Brengle]

6. krike, i never went to bed... is it morning already??? n/t

[Clintmax]

13. Good morning, Miss Katherine!

:hi:
Yeah, I'm afraid the morning crept up on you, behind your back. Did you have fun staying awake all this time?

[Katherine Brengle]

29. Mornin' Clint!

I have a tendency to pull an all-nighter about once a month or so--don't know why, it just happens.

Doesn't help that I have a serious Diet Coke addiction, lol.

[Clintmax]

34. Well yeah, that will do it to you!

Maybe you should try "Caffeine Free Diet Coke". :rofl: I hate all-nighters.

[Katherine Brengle]

81. lol--i'm trying to cut back--last night was just bad :) n/t

[Clintmax]

90. Yes, sometimes they are just BAD.

It happens to the best of us, that's for sure.

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Good morning Clint

I am doing fine. I have the afternoon off - carneval in Germany. The whole company gets off, the museum will be closed in the afternoon.

:bounce:

[Clintmax]

17. Morning, Miss honey!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to hear you have the afternoon off! I can't wait until Thursday at 5pm, because that means I can come home and not have to go back to work until Tuesday! Mini-vacation time! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Oh I believe you

4 days off!!!! Good for you. Any plans?

[Clintmax]

27. Not really...

Greekspeak is leaving for Missouri on Friday for a weeks vacation to visit parents, so I'm going to be alone for all those days. :cry:

I'm not sure exactly WHAT I'm going to do.

[MissHoneychurch]

Is he taking the puppy with him?

then you could jump into your new car and make a short trip to the beach. Tony has to be fed though.

[Clintmax]

37. I don't know...

He's going to take the new car, actually...I think. I would feel safer if he had it on that long trip than the Jeep. We talked about him taking Tony, but we didn't come to any firm plans.

[MissHoneychurch]

46. That means

you are going to spend A LOT of time here then :bounce:

[Clintmax]

55. LOL! Yes, I sure am!

:bounce:
I WILL have the Jeep while he's gone, so I won't be stuck here at home.

[MissHoneychurch]

60. How is the weater these days in FL?

we got the winter back. It is snowing today. Sunday the sun was shining and there was Spring in the air. But now ... :(

[Clintmax]

65. It's cold overnight...

But it gets warm in the day. It's going to be 80 degrees (or nearly 80) for the whole of this week! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Lucky you

please send some of that weather over to Germany.

[Clintmax]

76. I wish I could!

I hate cold weather, myself.

[MissHoneychurch]

79. I know

I didn't mind at all that we had a real winter this year. But slowly but surely I want the weather to get warmer.

[Clintmax]

91. Yes...spring is on it's merry way!

It won't stay cold much longer!

[MissHoneychurch]

109. Oh please

your word in the weather god's ear :)

[Clintmax]

111. LOL! That's right!

I'm ready for 80 degree weather too!

[MissHoneychurch]

114. 80 degree??

that is our typical summer temp - if we are lucky and it isn't a rainy summer (happens often enough).

[Clintmax]

117. We have 90's in the summer here.

It's perfect! I love it hot!

[Callalily]

124. Mornin' MIssH

Glad you've got the afternoon off. Doing anything special for Marti Gras?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Hi Clintmax! I hope you feel better as the day goes on...Can you

rest at all today? I seem to remember that you don't have a day off until Friday. I frequently find myself in "I'll do it myself" mode...only to regret it later on...

Here is to a really cold Tuesday morning. It's garbage day here in MI! :hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

20. Hi MrsG!

:hug: :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Hi billy!

How's your day going? :hug: :hi:

[billyskank]

28. Quite well thanks!

I am trying to break my work. I suck at testing! I just haven't got the knack. I say, here, my program works, and as soon as someone else touches it it all falls apart. :blush:

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. MrG was just complaining about that yesterday! They have him

programming offline at work now...and giving the program to someone else to run, and he doesn't like it, because he can't "tweak" it anymore.

[billyskank]

38. Oh, does he have to do lots of desk checking, then?

Programmers like me have no idea what it used to be like in the old days of batch processing, when you submitted your job for the mainframe to process overnight. You had to check your code at your desk by hand to look for mistakes!

Ever since interactive computing came in programmers have become very lazy. Now we just write code and run it straight away to see if it works!

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Tons! And he says it really slows down the jobs.

He is a CNC programmer for computerized machining and it used to be pretty seamless, but not anymore. He's been putting in some pretty long hours of late. :(

[Clintmax]

22. Morning, MrsG!

:hi:
You're right...I don't have a day off until Friday. So, I'll just have to suck it up and take it until then. But, I'll be OK.

It's only 36 degrees down here in Florida also, so you're not alone in the cold department. :hug::loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I use these things called corn pads quite a bit. A neighbor made

them for me...you throw them in the microwave for about three minutes and use them like a water bottle or heating pad. One of them has menthol in it and I swear by them.

[Clintmax]

31. I have a good heating pad...

It's made so that you can spray it with water and have a moist heat instead of dry. I wonder if I should try THAT. :shrug: Or, go buy one of those belts that heat up and stay warm all day long? You know which ones I mean?

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Thermacare? I use those on my knees and neck and like them

alot when I have to be out for work. I would try them if I were you. I also like the Salonpas medicated pads. They stick on your skin and kind of ease the pain away.

[Clintmax]

39. That's it!

Thermacare. I may have to make a trip to the CVS here in a while.

[ScreamingMeemie]

137. I really like them! And I hope they work out for you too!

The Salonpas patches are not bad either. A few months ago I took a telephone survey about these patches. It was actually quite interesting. I think it was being done by the makers of tiger balm. I use tiger balm when I have very bad headaches.

[Clintmax]

141. Never heard of Tiger Balm.

I use good old Aleve. That stuff works like crazy!

[ScreamingMeemie]

144. MrG and I love, love, LOVE Aleve...and rarely have to take a second

pill even. I buy them in bulk at Costco. It works better than 222's we used to get from Canada.

Tiger Balm: http://www.tigerbalm.co.uk/

[Clintmax]

148. I love it too!

I won't take anything else! Thank you for the link!

[ScreamingMeemie]

164. You are welcome!

I have high blood pressure so Aleve and Coricidin are the only things I can take on a regular basis. Have you ever gotten an Aleve stuck in the back of your throat? You can feel the sodium. :hi:

[Clintmax]

165. No, I haven't...

But I can well imagine. I hate it when you can't get a pill to go down and it starts dissolving in my mouth. x( *YUCK*
:hi:

[obxhead]

30. Oh Yeah!!! Well yesterday

I had to clean up some projectile vomit from one of my tables... (I'm a server) which chased away my next 3 tables.....

The smell was the worst part....

Anyway, happy today..... May this one be much better. :)

[Clintmax]

32. Hello, hello, Obx!

*YUCK*! I can't be around vomit. If someone throws up around Clintmax, Clintmax throws up too! x( I couldn't have done that clean up job. No way, no how.

[obxhead]

44. It was tough....

I was trying to get the "pity" tips from nearby tables....

Although, I did have to make a mad dash at one point for some fresh cool air..... It was touch and go for a few, but I managed to hold on.

I'll remember that *%#@ that brought that kid in to spew and only left me 20% tip after I had to clean that %$@&... up.....

[Clintmax]

68. Touch and go, I'm sure!

It would have been touch and SPEW if it were me! :rofl: People dont' freakin care, do they? If that were MY kid, I would have cleaned it up myself and not made YOU do it.

[obxhead]

83. Mom was happy to

say "sorry" 3 times over, but....

If I'm cleanin' it up I expect a good tip, not the average....

Her 20% tip was a complete insult to me.

Anyway it's a new day... Off to work soon to hope for a 20% day with no projectile warfare. :)

[Clintmax]

95. LOL! I wish you no projectile days from here on out!

And yes, the 20% was ridiculous. x( I hate people sometimes. :grr:

[obxhead]

It was a bad day.....

you can only fall so far though (so they say).....

:)

The best part is that I'm actually off today....

:P

[Clintmax]

106. Sweet!

Days off rock! I have Friday through Monday off this time, so I'm REALLY looking forward to THAT! :bounce:

[obxhead]

115. Friday

is my money night...

I've never had a good Sunday or Monday...
On Sunday the patrons have already given their money to the collection plate and on Monday they just don't want to cook.

With luck I'll be a bartender by Friday night. :)

[Clintmax]

118. Yes, I can see that.

how Friday would be "the" night for you.

[obxhead]

120. Give me a 4 day

Sun through Wed and I'll have a grand ol' time in The banx :)

[Clintmax]

122. Ah...OK.

I don't think I could work a job that depends on tips.

[obxhead]

125. Special circumstances and

really cool parents....

REALLY cool parents. :)

The end result may become a civil rights lawyer so.....

[Clintmax]

127. That would be GREAT!

Good luck! :bounce:

[obxhead]

140. From what I've seen so far it has little

to do with luck....

It's purely brown nosing.

In the end, only the paper work and the bar exam are what makes the difference though....

:)

Thanks for the good wishes though as I'll end up fighting for you.

[Clintmax]

143. And I'd be proud to HAVE you fighting for me!

:bounce:
I know what you mean by brown nosing. Too many things are like that these days.

[newyawker99]

40. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[Clintmax]

41. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
Are you staying warm up there?

[newyawker99]

130. Hey Mr C! It is cold here and I am trying to keep warm.

I hope you have a great day. :hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

133. Thank you, my dear!

I hope you ave a good one too! :hi::hug:

[tjwmason]

43. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Sorry to hear about your back - hurrah for office-work and only ever lifting up a file with a few papers in it ;) Hope that you feel better soon.

At the moment we've got the Messe Solenelle by Jean Langlais playing. It's going to be a day filled with modern French music methinks.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

49. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
It's great to see you today! :bounce: It was my own stupid fault, trying to lift something that heavy by myself. I should have known better. Maybe I should try finding a job like yours...in an office where I can't hurt myself like that, huh?

Modern French, huh? I don't know anything about IT either.

[tjwmason]

56. Silly boy.

:P

There are definite swings and roundabouts - but I'm definitely more suited to office-work. I guess that we're all different though.

I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv modern French music - but it's definitely not for everybody.

[Clintmax]

63. Yes, that's what I'm afraid of.

I'd listen to a song and think to myself..."YUCK! Good gods, TJ!" :rofl:

[tjwmason]

128. I've just noticed....

You don't mention that it's pancake day. :grr:

Don't you keep that in the U.S.?

[Clintmax]

135. Pancake day?

Ummm...no, we don't. But I LOVE them, so I think we should!

[tjwmason]

139. It's another name for Shrove Tuesday.

and an old mediaeval custom.

Back then folk would be expected to give up butter and eggs during Lent so to use up the ingredients before Lent starts tomorrow they would make pancakes. The tradition of eating pancakes today is still very strong (though I don't know anybody who's going totally vegan for Lent...).

But here's to eating pancakes. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Clintmax]

146. Interesting story...

I dont' know why I've never heard of it. :shrug: But, I'm all for eating pancakes! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

149. Some places have pancake races too.

Where folk run along the course whilst flipping a pancake repeatedly in its frying-pan.

[Clintmax]

153. LOL! Ok, that's just silly.

Pancake races. :eyes:

[tjwmason]

155. Of course it's silly.

That's the point. Silly can be fun.

Making a damn fool of oneself in the name of enjoyment is a long-standing British tradition. :D

[Clintmax]

158. LOL! I don't think I could bring myself to participate, though.

That's just as bad as greased pig contests. :silly:

[tjwmason]

172. Not quite that bad.

Can't say that I've ever been tempted to take part either though.

[swimboy]

175. Hear, hear!

:loveya:

[AussieDave]

47. G'day Clint - and good morning to all the Crew !!

Sorry to hear about your injury - I know all about bad backs, man - I go the the chiropractor every 4-5 weeks for a "tune-up". You take care of yourself !! :hug:

(BTW - did you see me on the front page ??)

[Clintmax]

51. Hail, Dave!

:hi::hug:
I'll take care. I shouldn't have tried to lift something so heavy by myself. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm scared of Chiropractors, myself. I'll just stick with Aleve, I think.

No, I didn't see you on the front page! Going to check now...

[AussieDave]

57. My chiropractor doesn't do the bone-cracking manipulation

she uses ultrasound and an "activator", which basically clicks nerves and muscles back into place - totally painless.

But I've tried to lift things without thinking - and of course regretted it afterwards. Just take it easy and you'll be fine - get Greekspeak to give you a massage.......:evilgrin:

[Clintmax]

77. I didn't know there WAS such a thing!

The bone-cracking thing is what scares me! I had him massage a little bit yesterday and it sure felt good!

[AussieDave]

86. I think most chiropractors don't use it - it's a matter of finding

a chiropractor who is skilled in non-manipulation. You just have to be lucky.

[Clintmax]

97. Well, I'm not.

I'd find someone who'd put me on the rack or in an iron maiden or something. :rofl:

[AussieDave]

107. Uhhhh - now I have a picture in my head

Clint - rack - iron maiden

I think I'm FAR too innocent to go there.........:rofl:

[Clintmax]

112. LOL!

You are, huh? :rofl:

[AussieDave]

116. Well that's what I like to tell myself

just to keep up the pretense of respectability........:evilgrin:

[Clintmax]

119. Oh, OK. ROFL!

Well, you just keep telling yourself that! :evilgrin:

[swimboy]

174. Boys! Think a minute! What if Khashka hears about this!

:rofl:

[sbj405]

48. Morning. How does one join the early morning crew?

I'm always up early, but don't always have time to check in.

[Clintmax]

53. Hello, hello, SBJ!

:hi:
Joining is easy! Just come in and say hello when you can, and start your day with us! I know I've seen you in here before...if you're an early riser and come into DU every day, then you're a shoo in! :bounce: I added you to the crew roster, so as of tomorrow, your name will appear in the member list! :woohoo:

[sbj405]

67. Thanks!

I'm glad there's an early crew. Used to be sorta slow in the a.m. and I was left reading the insomniacs posts. :-)

[Clintmax]

74. You're welcome!

And Welcome to the early morning crew! I'm glad to have you! :bounce:

I used to do the same thing...read the night hawks threads...that's why I started the crew! ;)

[Minnesota Libra]

54. Good Morning and welcome to a new day to one and all, here.....

....is breakfast :donut: and a :hug: to get you through whatever comes along.

Yuck, I have to head for the laundry in a few minutes so hold down the fort until I get back. It's too early for this :beer: but there's plenty of this :donut:

[Clintmax]

59. Morning, MLibra!

:hi:
I'm a libra too! :woohoo: I hate going to the laundromat, but you have to if you want clean clothes. At least it won't be busy this early and you won't have to wait for dryers! :bounce:

[Minnesota Libra]

177. You got that right, I got there early and had.........

.....the whole place to myself for almost an hour. :bounce: I'm back home now and ready to take on the day.

[NMMNG]

58. Good morning Clint!

Be careful with your back. Those pulled muscles can get much worse if you don't treat them right--I know from experience. Don't do any heavy lifting for a while.



"Shining Star". Geesh, that was from when I was young--probably around 10 or 11. My how time has flown. :cry:

[Clintmax]

61. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I sure will. I don't want to have any more problems with it that's for sure!

I was thinking the same thing about time when I selected that song. I remember it from when I was a little kid too...about the same age. But it's a good song!

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Good morning buffy

:hi:

how are you?

[NMMNG]

70. Back at work

x(

Though I'm off in 1/2 an hour. Then I'll be heading home for bed and blissful sleep. :boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

73. So we get off at the same time today

:)

Except I won't go to sleep. I hope you have a good sleep. I read your post when you said, it is hard for you to sleep during the day. Soon it will be over :hug:

[NMMNG]

82. Fortunately the meds help

Mmmmmm, drugs.

;-)


But it will be nice to get back to sleeping nights, and hopefully without the meds.

[MissHoneychurch]

87. the drugs might help now

but you know even better than me that drugs aren't a solution. How much longer till you move?

[NMMNG]

94. A few months

Probably June.

[MissHoneychurch]

98. it is getting later and later

I remember that when you first told me about your move, that you expected it to be around now :hug:

[LaurenG]

66. Good Morning Clintmax

Have a great day. How did that floor move go btw?

[Clintmax]

71. Morning, OhioB!

:hi:
We're still not finished with it. It is a MAJOR move and will take several more days to complete. Our District Manager is coming today to check our progress, and every time she does (during a floor move) she changes so much stuff! I have no doubt that when I get there today, the store will look entirely different than it did when I left yesterday. x(

How are YOU doing today?

[LaurenG]

80. I don't want to be at work today

I must have gotten up too early or never woke up. I can't even remember the drive to get here. Oh well this is one of those days when you do it even if you don't want to. I'll get more coffee and attempt to discover a better feeling to start the day with. Thanks for asking.x( :loveya:

[Clintmax]

100. I know how you feel...

Although...I've never been so bad that I can't remember the drive to work. I'm sorry, my dear. :loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

72. Good morning, hon!

Sorry you're sore. I'm sitting down & having some coffe with you RIGHT now. :)

[Clintmax]

75. Morning, Miss Sugar!

:hi:
I'll be OK...I just need to watch what I'm lifting by myself, that's all. Good to have you here, my dear! Anything exciting planned for today?

[Sugar Smack]

92. *cough* going to work.

*cough* coming home. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Clintmax]

101. *smile*

I'm in touch with that emotion. :rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

78. Hey!

Hope your back gets better!

I'm glad today has come. I've been off work for the past three days, so I'm getting bored. It's sad when work is the only life I have...

Have a good one!

[Clintmax]

85. Hail, FoxM!

:hi:
Thank you! I hope it gets better too. I'm going by the CVS to get one of those Thermacare heat wraps things and see if that helps any.

You have a great day too! :bounce:

[LaurenG]

93. Those work nicely all day

That should help along with the pain killer/anti-inflammatory.

[Fox Mulder]

96. I love those!

They work great! I used one on my knee once and it helped a lot!

[Clintmax]

102. That's good to hear!

CVS here I come! :bounce:

[redwitch]

84. good morning Clintmax!

Redwitch is on her way out west! To Rochester, NY. There and back today, 4 and a half hours each way. Someone please remind me why I do this?
Have a great day everyone, see you tonight!

P.S. Sorry about your back, hope it heals quick!

[Clintmax]

88. Morning, Red!

:hi:
Have a good trip and drive safe! :bounce: I'll see you tomorrow!

Thank you for the well wishes!

[Robeson]

89. Hey Clintmax!

What's up? How's it going this morning?

[Clintmax]

99. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
I was wondering where you were! It's good to see you, Mister Man! I was stupid yesterday and I'm paying for it now...THAT'S what's up. :rofl: How's every little thing with YOU?

[Robeson]

105. Oh, I've just been over in LBN listening to a bunch of stupid comments...

...that makes me wonder why I don't ever use my IP feature. Oh well, maybe I'll do a poll to see who uses and who doesn't. I could easily be talked into using it...

Hope all is well!....:toast:

[Clintmax]

110. Thanks, Man.

I'll be fine. just need a couple of days to rest my back. I won't be lifting anything heavy for a while.

[Lethe]

103. rise and shine

didnt go to bed myself. a bit vampiric lately.

everybody have a good day, and dont take any wooden nickels.

[Clintmax]

108. Morning, Ikhor!

:hi:
I couldn't be a night hawk. I live by the "early to bed, early to rise..." motto. Don't take any wooden nickels...wow...I haven't heard that in AGES.

[Lethe]

113. hey morning!

hehe that was something that they said in the Looney Tunes cartoons a lot.

[Clintmax]

121. I love Looney Tunes!

I rented on of the "Golden Hits" DVD's a couple of weeks ago...you know the ones...when you buy them, there is like 3 or 4 DVD's inside with 100's of cartoons...well, Hollywood Video deicded to separate them so you had to rent each individual one instead of the set. x( I hate those guys sometimes.

[Callalily]

123. Morning Clint!

I swear, your morning crew gets larger and larger with each passing day. And you sure do have some early birds.

Sorry to hear about your back. Ya know, I just happen to have a bottle of Aleve here, care to have some?

Volunteered tonight for Marti Gras. It's a fund raiser type thing. I'm excited to go and it should be a lot of fun.

[Clintmax]

126. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
Yes, we're just one HUGE happy family here! :bounce: I'm glad you're part of it too! I would LOVE some Aleve...thank you for offering! I have a bottle too, so if one of us runs out...there'll be another available! :woohoo:

Sounds like a good time, fun raisering for Mardi Gras!

[Callalily]

145. You should get

a commission for the Aleve Company!

Yes, dollars are being raised for all sorts of projects. Women's shelter, tutors for at risk kids, etc. And everyone has a good time.

[Clintmax]

151. Perfecto!

What a great thing to volunteer for! :hug:

[entanglement]

129. Good morning, Clintmax!

Hope your back's better now!

:toast:

[Clintmax]

132. Hail, Entanglement!

Good to see you today, man! It will get to feeling better, I'm sure. I'm going to go to CVS in a while and get one of those Thermacare heat wrap things. How's every little thing with YOU?

[entanglement]

150. The heat wrap thingy should do the trick

though I prefer Flexall (it's an OTC gel)

Right now, I'm enjoying a large, steaming hot mug of coffee :)

[Clintmax]

152. Me too!

Coffee and the Early Morning Crew! Perfect combination!

[buddhamama]

131. Good Morning All !

Heya Clint, I am sorry to hear about your back. I am sending good vibes for a speedy recovery and of course a :hug:

[Clintmax]

136. Morning, Mama!

:hi:
Thank you for that! I need the hugs today. But I'll be OK I'm sure. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

134. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug: Wow -- sorry about your back! I did that at work once, lifting a computer. It wasn't heavy, but I did it wrong ... couldn't go back to work for a week. Ouch!

Glad we got through Monday, though. Now for Tuesday. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

138. Morning, Miss Airmens!

:bounce::hi::hug:
It's good to see you today! I did it wrong too, I think. I've always tried to lift with my legs, but the damned thing was so heavy I think it would have been a problem no matter. How's the house doing? Anyone present any offers yet?

[AirmensMom]

156. Well, it was a stressful weekend.

The people who came Friday afternoon said, right in front of us, that they were going to make an offer. We were SO excited! So, they left and our realtor called a few minutes later telling us not to go anywhere. We waited around for a few hours. Then he called again ... the other realtor couldn't get in touch with his clients. That was strange -- if they're making an offer, why aren't they TOGETHER? Finally, our realtor called back and told us we could go out or whatever, but by then it was after 9:00 and we were tired. Saturday morning, another call. They wanted to know if we could take it off the market for two weeks so they could get their act together. Jeez! And they were going to offer us $35,000 below our asking price. :banghead: Of course, our realtor didn't recommend it.

Some other people came Saturday and Sunday. The Sunday one liked it, but wants to come back with her husband ... but hasn't made an appointment yet. No word from the Saturday ones.

I'm about ready to lose my mind. Way too much stress.

[Clintmax]

159. GRRR!

Asking you to take your house off the market while they "get their act together" is wrong. That's like saying they want you to sell to only THEM. Yeah, right. :eyes: Some people are just stoopid. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time, my dear. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

160. Thanks.

I've sort of been staying away from DU b/c I'm in such a pissy mood these days.

Yeah, they wanted us to sell only to them.:eyes:

Thanks for the :hug:

[Clintmax]

161. Those people who do that stuff only care about themselves.

I hate people like that. :grr: I hope you get it sold soon, my dear. I hate it that you are having to go through this like that. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

163. What gets me is

the paper has an article in it EVERY DAY now telling everyone how the market is cooling, etc. They need to STFU before they make it self-fulfilling. The buyers think it's OK to act like that if the paper tells them it's a buyer's market.

Don't worry, I'll be in a better mood one of these days. Thanks for putting up with me. :hug:

[Clintmax]

167. Oh, please. "Putting up with you"?

That's what I'm here for, my dear! I wish I could help more! Friends have to stick together, you know.

[Clintmax]

169. I need to get going, Miss Airmens!

I need to go to CVS and stuff. I hope the stress goes away soon for you! :hug:

[AirmensMom]

170. Well, I am particularly grumpy these days.

I'm glad to have you for a friend. That helps a lot. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Now I have to go do my morning clean-up routine, just in case someone wants to look at the house. I hope you have a great day. Take care of that back! :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

171. I sure will!

:hi:
You take care, my dear! I'll see you tomorrow! :hug:

[GalleryGod]

142. Spring Training! Tomorrow!

Eight wonderful days of bliss and sunshine!
Did I say "seafood!" ???

[Clintmax]

147. Morning, GG!

Spring training, here we come! :bounce: How's every little thing?

[GalleryGod]

154. Couldn't be better!

Grades in. Long term assignments are assigned.

[Clintmax]

157. That's good!

I'm glad to hear it! :bounce: Any exciting plans for today?

[lizziegrace]

162. Morning Clint!

Sorry to hear about your back. I hope taking it easy and taking Aleve will take care of it.

:hi:

[Clintmax]

166. Morning, Miss Lizzie!

:hi:
I think it will, thank you! You doing OK today?

[Clintmax]

168. I'm off, Crew!

Time to get going and head over to the CVS! I'll see everyone here tomorrow! :bounce: Take care!

Clint
