Crap, up at 3:04 a.m. and in the best possible freaking mood.

[crim son]

Is anybody else awake? Wassup? Let you entertain me. :P

On edit: clearly you people all have a life. Care to share?

[TK421]

1. YO!!!

What you up to? I'm on my fifth Sweet Tea....I'm WIDE AWAKE!@!!!!@@!

[crim son]

2. Laughing.

I might have guessed that the one who gave up alcohol would be the one awake. :hug: Good for you!

I'm not entirely sure sweet tea is the answer, dear TK421! I'm entirely serious.

[TK421]

5. crim son....I think I may actually be more dangerous on sweet tea than I have ever

been drunk or even on no caffeine-sugar high on this board.....you people may just have a serious problem on your hands, here. :D

edited to add: notify Skinner

[crim son]

8. I'm no narc!

Plus, I await with anticipation your unorthodox posts. :hug:

I'm with you, TK421. I haven't quit, but I've quit being a drunk. Every morning feels better. (I'm not suggesting you're a drunk!)

[TK421]

16. I know...and I suspect tomorrow morning will feel quite good to me

I can't imagine why :D

[crim son]

20. It's not just the hangover for me.

Drinking literally depresses me. It's taken me two years to figure out that my misery is not solved by drinking, nor is pleasure enhanced with alcohol. I hope the lesson sticks, for us both. :hug:

[TK421]

22. I know what you mean....now. I'm only on day one and feel better already

wow...that must sound really bad, huh?

[crim son]

24. Not to me.

After my husband and I decided on divorce I drank heavily for eighteen months, and then heavier still for six. Suddenly it doesn't interest me and what I notice most is waking and loving the morning. Any time you want to talk, let me know. -lisa

[TK421]

30. I'll keep you in mind....and I'm curious as to what you sigline is, by the way?

Was this an inside joke in the lounge I was not privy to?

[crim son]

34. No.

Just a quote by the Omphalo, who is in Oregon where I went to school. We were discussing something, I don't recall what, and he brought up the wasted girlfriend. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in a while. Have you?

Must... sleep. Must... sleep....

[TK421]

37. I haven't seen him recently either...I hope he is alright

:( He's something of a regular on here, isn't he?

[fizzgig]

3. i'm still up

what's with the good mood? :P

[crim son]

4. Hey, my Lovely.

Good to see you. The mood? I think it has everything to do with the antidepressants finally kicking in. Also, spring has arrived in Maine so I'm outside.

How are you? What's your mood? What're you wearing? (kidding) :hi:

[fizzgig]

6. i'm pretty damn good, myself

still no job, but the weather is fantastic, so it's hard to be down when it's so nice. the guy and i are just lounging about (he's pretty engrossed in his sudoku right now). my mood is further elevated by the fact that we're going to see the cure on wednesday :bounce:

since you asked, i'm wearing my undies and his food not bombs shirt :P

i'm glad you're feeling better, it's such a nice feeling when the meds kick in, i know.

[crim son]

10. It isn't so bad when the man kicks in either, and the Cure looms.

I'm pleased to know you are happy, kagehime. Let us hope to hold on to the feeling for a long while, yes?

[fizzgig]

13. i hope we will

:hug:

[boilerbabe]

23. Did all that snow finally melt? n/t

[crim son]

25. It did, about a month ago.

I have cukes, eggplant, tomatoes and much more planted right now. Maine lore tells me that I shouldn't ignore the possibility of frost until after the upcoming full moon but I've thrown caution to the wind!

And now, I must sleep. Wow, up until four. How stupid is that?

[boilerbabe]

28. Good luck with the crops! No frost! No frost!

Happy spring, hunny!

[crim son]

35. So far, so good!

I put in the eggplant today so CURSE the deity who dares bring snow!

[mcctatas]

7. ha ha...

It's only 2:17 am here :evilgrin:

Anyone know any good jokes?


The far right extremists of FreeRepublic.com, WSJ.com, Nazi.com, and KKK.com finally get it together and overthrow the government. Then they start rounding up politicians to execute. A firing squad is convened and Al Gore, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are all marched to a wall to be shot. As the right wing nuts are loading their guns Al Gore thinks, "I've got to cause a diversion so I can get away." He yells "Oh, no. A TORNADO" and points behind the firing squad. As the ultraconservative fruitcakes turn around to see if there is a tornado approaching, Al Gore jumps over the wall behind him and runs away. The firing squad turns their attention back to the two men who are left. Clinton quickly observes how well Gore's ruse has worked and yells "EARTHQUAKE". As the firing squad frantically looks for a place to take cover Clinton jumps over the wall and he too escapes. The firing squad resumes their stance and proceeds to take aim at George W. Bush. Dubya, believing that he, too, can create a diversion, frantically searches his mind for another natural disaster to use. Smiling to himself, he yells "FIRE".

[crim son]

11. LOL!!!

(Although you know a joke like that can get you tombstoned!) Heh.

I SUCK at telling jokes, even in written form but if you want to discuss Heidegger's philosophy... well you're going to have to turn elsewhere for that too.

Nice to see you, though? Wanna talk about food? :P

[mcctatas]

14. I'm sitting here waiting for my pint of Guinness and 2 nyquil to

kick in, hmmm, food, I think that's the substance I cram into my mouth between cups of coffee...

[crim son]

17. Nyquil is indispensible!

So is food for that matter, and now you've made me hungry. What's for brekkie?

[Breeze54]

9. Hey? I'm still up!

I'm having a great time tonight and also a little nervous

that I'm alone at home. I'm not used to that. I'm guessing

it's bugging the shit out of my son too.

I'm going to change that soon though...

I'm kicking him out!! :rofl:

He doesn't know it yet! :P

[crim son]

12. Okay, wait.

You're kicking your son out? Laughing. I look forward to the day!!! Why are you alone and why is it unusual?

[Breeze54]

39. No, not really...

But he makes god money and he needs his own place.

How's that BAD, if my calling him cusswords, makes him WAKE UP?!??

[Indi Guy]

15. Feeling lonely?...

...can't relate ;)

[crim son]

19. Thank you for your compassionate response.

But happily, no, I'm not lonely. I'm in a super good mood! So are you, apparently.

[Indi Guy]

36. The shardonnay helps...

Let me paraphrase Barbara Wawa (in her interview with Kate Hepburn) -- If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

[boilerbabe]

18. I'm at work!

Otherwise, I'd probably be drunk! Haha. But I can't be both!

[crim son]

21. Truth.

Drunk kinda sucks as the alternative. Let's say, pleasantly buzzed with many more hours of gentle buzzedness ahead!

Can you get me a job? I'd rather be working than drinking!

[boilerbabe]

26. I probably could!

But you'd have to move to CT or Mass and like powerplants! We do have the casinos down here, where there's always openings, too.

I grew up in a paper mill town in Maine, where there's not much left after they downsized. Little did I suspect that I would wind up making power and steam for a paper mill here in CT. Those things keep following me around!!

[crim son]

31. I hope blackflies didn't follow you around.

I'm so happy to be in Bangor and not Brooksville, because of the difference in bug concentration. Cool that you grew up in Maine: i grew up in the west - Vancouver and Salem.

[mcctatas]

27. nyquil kicking in...

here's a joke...

A first grade teacher in the Midwest is explaining to her class that she is a Republican and how nice it is to have a Republican president in office. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Republicans and support George Bush. Everyone in class raises their hands except one little girl. "Mary," says the teacher with surprise, "why didn't you raise your hand?" Because I'm not a Republican," says Mary. "Well, what are you?" asks the teacher. "I'm a Democrat and proud of it," replies the little girl. The teacher cannot believe her ears. "My goodness, Mary, why are you a Democrat?" she asks. “Well, my momma and papa are Democrats, so I'm a Democrat, too." "Well," says the teacher in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Democrat. You don't always have to be like your parents. What if your momma was a criminal and your papa was a criminal, too, what would you be then?" "Then," Mary smiled, "then we'd be Republicans."

[boilerbabe]

29. Good joke, but actually true! n/t

[Breeze54]

40. LMFAO!! The Politico is RW!!!!!!

That's a pretty funny ok.

BUT


The problem IS the REPUBLICANS

DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND NEVER HAVE!!!

EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOMP THEN OUT! SCREW THEM, LIKE THEY SCREWED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

41. I'm up, tired but can't sleep

Been a life-long insomniac. Thinking about watching "Love In The Time of Cholera" or something from the Sherlock Holmes Collection, with Jeremy Brett.
