[WildEyedLiberal]

1. Alas, I must go to bed....

Hold down the fort for me, willya?

:loveya:

[Heidi]

2. Sweet dreams, friend!

:hug:

:loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

3. More like morninghawks.

I am getting ready to go catch the bus to school...in some really shitty weather. x(

[Heidi]

4. Stay toasty, friend, and don't forget your hat and mittens!

Have you cut your hair yet? Please give me some notice so that I can mourn your beautiful dreads. :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

6. It's pouring out and windy as hell, I need an umbrella and galoshes more than a hat and mittens

I haven't cut them yet. I got the removal shampoo and deep conditioner yesterday, to get the wax and knots out once I chop them off, so it will be happening soon. Maybe next week to celebrate my birthday or something, haha.

[Heidi]

7. I actually remembered that your birthday's coming.

I have it written down in my (what else?) Moleskine agenda. :7

[ghostsofgiants]

9. A book store here FINALLY started carrying Moleskine books recently.

I was excited upon discovering this, haha.

Okay, off to school I go.

[BarenakedLady]

10. Really, you are cutting them off?

How long have you had them? Please post a picture after, I'm curious to see how you look without them. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Yep, cutting them off very soon, I hope.

I've had them for about three and a half years. Gonna be a slight change, haha. I'll be sure to post pictures.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Hello there Heidi

:hi:

getting ready to search for Easter eggs in the snow? :hide:

[Heidi]

8. Hahahahahaha! No snow here, and please don't jinx Ticino!

I have a small group exhibit opening on Good Friday. :scared:

Mornin', sunshine! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear Heidi...

How lovely to see you today!

It is morning here, now, for me...

And late afternoon for you...

It always amazes me how we can talk, even though we are separated by many time zones...

I'm hoping that your day has been, and will continue to be, good!

And my very best vibes for your show on Friday!

:toast:

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

15. Hi, Peggy!

Now early morning here. Our Daylight Saving Time doesn't begin until March 30, so there are fewer hours between us until then. :hug: :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

12. yowza

been ages no?

How are you Heidi and everyone?

:hi::hug:

[Heidi]

16. Hey, sailor!

:*

I have missed you! :hug: :hug: :hug:

[auntAgonist]

13. How did I miss this?

:hug: Heidi, how are you and CMW doing?

:loveya:

kesha

[Heidi]

17. KESHA!!!!!

All is well here! Hope it's the same with you and yours, my friend! :hug:

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Heidi, dahlink!!!

Lovely to see you this evening. How've you been? :loveya: :* :loveya:

[Heidi]

22. Hi, honey!!!!

How's my gf? I've missed you! :hug: :* :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

27. My slippers!!!

I've been okay. Went to Oregon last weekend; that's always difficult, because everywhere I go, I'm reminded of mom, and that she's not here anymore. But overall, I'm doing well.

How about you? :hug:

[Heidi]

33. All is okay!

Thank you for asking! :hug: :hug:

One probably never really gets "over" the death of a beloved parent, gf, but maybe that's a good thing. :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Very true.

My father died 31 years ago this month, and while most of the pain of his loss has long dissipated, I still miss him. If I'm still kickin' it in 31 years, I know it will be the same with my mom.

[TimeChaser]

19. Sweet! Nighthawks!

A perfect way to start what is probably going to be a sleepless night :O

[Heidi]

23. Hi, sweetness!

Sleepless night? Are you okay? Lotsa homework? A paper to finish? :hug: :hug:

Sooooooooooo good to see you, TimeChaser! :loveya:

[bridgit]

20. I loves me some Nighthawks I does me

:bounce:

[Heidi]

26. There's my girl!!!!!

:loveya: :smooch:

:hug: :hug:

[bridgit]

34. I see you're a mod again, Dahlink, that makes you like the Michael Corleone of DU

"Every time I try to get out, they PULL my back in!" er'somethin like that :hi:
:hug:

[Heidi]

38. Nah, I'm not nearly as

cute as Michael Corleone. :rofl: :spray:

Good to see you, luv. How's Timmy? :hug: :loveya:

[bridgit]

45. He had a really bad flea experience lately, but after a wee bit o'the treatment...

he's better now poor guy :(

[Heidi]

47. Oh, nooooooooooooooes!

Ginger has never had fleas, but he gets a couple of ticks every summer, and I'm _seriously_ grossed out by ticks. I'd prefer fleas. :scared:

I'm glad Tim's better now. You're a great kitty mama. :hug: :hug:

[auntAgonist]

21. Well I just made it!

It's time for bed here but I thought I'd pop in and say HI!

:grouphug:

g'nite fellow 'hawkers.

kesha

[Heidi]

28. Sweet dreams, darlin'!!!!!

:hug: :loveya: :grouphug:

[enigmatic]

24. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

[Heidi]

29. !!!!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Hey e!!!

How are things? :hug:

[enigmatic]

35. Hey SG!

:hug:

Very, very tired, but OK:) We're moving at the end of the month so we've been packing; THAT'S always fun:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

42. Did you two get a house?

I remember you talking about that awhile back.

And yeah, moving is a total laughfest! :rofl:

[enigmatic]

48. Not yet

We're moving into another unit in our apartment house;one of the (and I use the term somewhat loosely) "penthouse suites" on the top floor. We have enough for a house; just waiting for the right one now..

[SeattleGirl]

55. Well, I know this guy in Virginia who's trying to sell his house.....

Nah, the commute would be killer! :)

I've done that myself -- moved to a different unit in the same complex. It's almost worse than moving to an entirely new location.

[puerco-bellies]

25. Skiiieeeeee skiieeee

Umm, or how ever the night hawk says hi-ya!:hi:

[Heidi]

31. Hi, p-b!!!!

How many days until you're all marriaged???? Sending good vibes to you both! :hug: :hug:

[puerco-bellies]

37. the Matrimoincals are on Friday

I've got all of tomorrow to finish our rings. No pressure there.

[Heidi]

39. Okie dokie.

Now that I know the exact date, I'll burn some sweetgrass for you guys and keep a white candle burnin'. You'll get those rings finsihed, I know you will. :hug: :hug:

[puerco-bellies]

44. How do you get sweet grass way over there in Yureup?

Is it endemic there too?

[Heidi]

46. My sister-in-law ordered it from someplace in Germany.

And I suspect that shop got it from the US. :)

The only things widespread here are palmetto trees and cheese. :rofl:

[puerco-bellies]

50. Palmetto trees

O..K
:woohoo:

[Heidi]

51. The palmetto trees aren't native to Ticino,

but I do love them -- despite the fact that they spring up like weeds every spring and we have to weed them out of the garden.

[Fox Mulder]

30. Hello.

:hi:

[Heidi]

36. Hi, friend!!!!!!

You doin' okay? :hug: :grouphug:

:*

[Fox Mulder]

40. Yeah, I'm doing okay.

And you? :hug: :)

[Heidi]

43. I'm a little bit tired,

but that's to be expected at my age. :rofl:

Thank you for asking. :* :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

49. W00t!

I'm talking to my friends in two different "Sw" countries. :bounce:

[Heidi]

52. sMOOCh!

Where's my hug, huh? :pout:

[Oeditpus Rex]

56. I embrace you with my

(I have another one just like it, only backwards.)

:hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

58. Gaw, but you do have

nice wrists. Really.

:loveya:

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

62. But they're *skinny*

When I hear Bill Cosby's old bit, "Go Karts," I always think he's talking about me when he says, "The cops pulled out the cuffs, put the handcuffs on us, and it backfired on 'em because our wrists were so skinny, the minute we put our arms down, they fell off. *chink* "



:shrug:

[Heidi]

63. The skinniness of your wrists is offset by the enormity of your

:hoart: :hug: :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

65. Well, that kinda fits

Because you can see my :hoart: beating in my wrists. :D



:*

[bertha katzenengel]

53. May I come in?

Got any corned beef hash & worcestershire? And how about a real Coca-Cola? I need comfort food and sleep, and it seems that both elude me.

[Heidi]

54. bertha, my sweet,

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time the past four months. Anything you want, dear: real Coca-Cola, corned beef hash, worcestershire, tons of hugs. :hug: :grouphug:

:loveya:

[bertha katzenengel]

57. yeah, i need the hugs

i need some sleep. busy day tomorrow: tons of phone calls with HR, applying for unemployment, taking Mrs. V. to two doc appts, cooking dinner. working out and going to weight management class too. oops, dinner is out.

i need the energh sleep can bring. maybe i'll go try again.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Heidi]

59. Did you take that photo?

It's just gorgeous! :hug:

Sweet dreams, hon. Things are gonna get better for you. :hug: :loveya:

[bertha katzenengel]

74. No. Would you believe my sister took that with her phone?!

What a helluva phone. It's beautiful. Of course, with those subjects, you can't miss.

hate to sound selfish, but, think of me. i'm having a rough morning.

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

60. STREAKER!!!

:woohoo:

:hi: everybody! :D

[Heidi]

61. Jama!!!!

Hey, sweetie! :hug: :loveya:

:grouphug:

[Jamastiene]

64. Hello lovely.

And how are you doing this evening? :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

66. I'm a lil bit tired,

but that's cuz The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger forced me to get up at 4:30 a.m. to open a can of tuna. I swear, I'm giving him thumbs for Christmas. :rofl:

How about you, dear? Everything fine? :hug: :loveya:

[Jamastiene]

68. I'm doing ok.

I cooked homemade fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy today and made "plates for tomorrow." They way both my aunt and I love that meal though, I wonder how soon we will declare it "tomorrow" and pig out again. I'm a bit stuffed to be honest.

[Oeditpus Rex]

67. How come you always nekkid

without pics?

[Jamastiene]

69. I'd get the thread locked if I posted pics.

They would be scandalous I tell ya. I do love to be nekked. :evilgrin:

Maybe this:
:bounce: :bounce:
can suffice in place of actual pictures. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

70. Sigh — such a shame that DU doesn't have a feature like

private messaging.













I keed! I keed! :D

[billyskank]

71. Oh, thank god.

Some friendly faces. :hi:

[Heidi]

72. Mornin', sunshine!

Friendly lips, too. :evilgrin:

:*

[billyskank]

73. Hello you.

:hug:


:loveya:

[Heidi]

75. Friday evening/Saturday morning kick!

:grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

79. My dear Heidi!

Whew, we're like ships in the day/night!

I'm actually surprised that I'm still awake and more or less alert...

Got home from puerco-bellies and Ali's wedding about an hour ago, and have been busy uploading one hundred twenty eight pictures!

Most are awesome, and a couple had to be deleted...

I had to eliminate a lot of red-eye, and do some cropping...

Tomorrow, I will have a photo thread!

I am just waaaaay too tired to do anything more but chat a bit tonight!

We had a complete ball at the party!

It was truly an awesome event...

Hope your day is off to a great start, sweetie!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

82. Evenin', Peggy!

I'm glad you had a nice time at the wedding and party! Will look forward to seeing your photos. :hug: :pals:

[Robeson]

76. Do you now have three cats, Heidi?

[Heidi]

77. I only have one cat. The other cats in that Nighthawks graphic

are bridgit's cat, Tim; Ginger's brother, Barley; and jobycom's sweet Millie. :hi:

Evenin', friend! :hug:

[Robeson]

78. Evening...

...you just can't have enough kitties....;-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

80. I dunno if I wanna come in

Are serial commas used here?

[Heidi]

81. I'm no longer paid to be a punctuation cop, so I've gotta admit

serial commas might occasionally slip in. :scared:

:* :hug: :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

83. In that case

I think I'll check out the place down the block.

[Heidi]

84. Fine

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Oeditpus Rex]

85. Okay, I'm back

I got into an argument about the serial comma with this psychotic barmaid who tried to get her English prof from Wellesley on the phone and some jackass mailman who said it was first used by the ancient Diacritians. x(

[Heidi]

86. Man, I hate when that happens.

:rofl: :spray:

[Adsos Letter]

87. Holy Mackeral!...you're a Mod now?

...do you get to wield a symbol of authority...? :o

[Heidi]

88. Hi, friend!

I was an LBN and GD-P mod for four terms in 2006-2007, so this is my second go-round. :hi:

Nice to see you! :hug:
