Good to see you, gf! :hug:

[Heidi]

13. Hey there!

How's my second most favorite Canadian (after Leonard Cohen)? :hug: :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

16. I need to go to bed soon, haha.

But right now I'm watching today's Democracy Now. Hour long interview with Bill Ayers and his wife. Interesting stuff.

[Heidi]

21. Don't even get me started on the Ayers thing.

The government dropped all charges against the guy years ago but people still want their pound of flesh. :eyes:

Sweet dreams, J. :hug: :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Check out the Democracy Now episode, it's really good.

http://www.democracynow.org/2008/11/14/exclusive_in_first_joint_broadcast_interview

[Heidi]

28. Will do!

Thanks for the heads up! :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

30. And that's just part 1, I'm guessing there will be a part 2 on Monday.

Loves me some Democracy Now. Subscribing to their podcast was one of the best ideas I've had in a while. :P

[Tom Kitten]

7. Just like old times!

For me, today was a good day......
I start a new job Monday!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. awww thanks and backatcha

:hug:

[Tom Kitten]

25. you still melancholy?

did you forget the second part of your song?

Evening has come to pass
The time of day doesn't last
Evening has earned its place today
I'm tired of working away

Working, living it brings
Only way to have those things
Toiling has bought too many tears
Turn round all those past years

Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Till next day

Live all you people
You can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So that can depend

Evening time to get away

Live all you people
You can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So that can depend

Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away

[Tuesday Afternoon]

37. yeah but ....

I am not sure that Nights in White Satin are meant to be spent alone :(

http://www.youtube.com/v/9muzyOd4Lh8&hl=en&fs=1

[Tom Kitten]

63. Well I'm a melancholy man

perhaps we can relate?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_J9F-x6EsQ&feature=related

[Tuesday Afternoon]

67. maybe so --

http://www.youtube.com/v/DAMOlEsU578&hl=en&fs=1

[Tom Kitten]

74. we'll see

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6XcyGs1zTI

sometimes things happen so quickly I find myself just talking about the birds or something...

[LeftyFingerPop]

11. Thinking about someone special...

eating whole grain crackers...

drinking beer....

smoking cigs...

How are you? :hug:

[Heidi]

18. Wanna slip out onto the patio with me

for a smoke? ;)

Me: drinking coffee, jonesin' for a smoke. But man, is this coffee yummy. Ristretto. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :)

:hug:

:loveya:

[mcctatas]

20. If I told you what was really on my mind...

this thread would get locked fer sure ;)

[Heidi]

22. That would be a momentous feat.

Not a single Nighthawks thread in four years has been locked for rulebreaks. This is where boredom comes to roost. :rofl:

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

23. HEIDI!!!!!

wow, a Nighthawks thread! I had a great day, and this is definitely the cherry on top!

How are ya, girlfriend? :* :loveya: :hug: :fistbump:

[Heidi]

27. SG,, my sweet!!!!!

I'm glad you had a great day! My Saturday morning is getting off to a slow start, but it's nice to be among friends (like you). :hug:

:loveya:

:*

[SeattleGirl]

29. Is today shopping day?

I have lots of extra good vibes to send to you, if you need 'em!

[Heidi]

34. Nope. I had my three hours in hell YESTERDAY.

Maybe that's why I'm so tired today. :rofl:

Whew, glad _that's_ over for a week. :P

[SeattleGirl]

40. Well, how about some retroactive vibes?

Just to get you through the aftermath? :crazy:

[Heidi]

43. Hahahahahahahaha!

Thank you, dear. I'll take 'em. :rofl:

:yourock:

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

46. Here you go!

:yourock: too!

[Heidi]

49. I lovelovelove that photo!

While you're vibing, could you get my boobs to be as high as that woman's boobs? :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

52. I'll try.

I think raising your arms over your head and arching your back helps a lot. :rofl:

[Heidi]

53. Gaw, you goddesses know ALL the tricks!

:rofl: :spray:

[SeattleGirl]

56. Hells, yeah!

Smoke, mirrors, and raised arms always do the trick! :rofl:

35. C'mere, GrovelBot. Give us a big Nighthawks kiss!

:*

[KitchenWitch]

36. Hullo Heidi.

I am recovering well from my surgery last week. But I am not going to be able to sleep tonight, as the Santa Ana Winds are blowing and we are having a bunch of wildfires here in SoCal.

Hope things are happier by you.

[mcctatas]

38. I'll stay awake with ya kitchy...

I'm sorry things are so scary there (perhaps it is the universes way of saying "move the fuck back to the midwest" ;) )

[KitchenWitch]

41. Seriously

I can handle all the tornadoes, thunderstorms and blizzards in the world. Send earthquakes and wildfires and I am curled up into a little ball whimpering "makeitstopmakeitstop"

:scared:

[mcctatas]

48. I don't blame ya, those things scare the crap out of me too..

I scoff at blizzards and tornadoes however (unless they are reading this, then I respect and fear your awesome power)

[KitchenWitch]

51. Yeah

Wildfires are the gift that keeps on giving. First you have the whole week long adrenaline rush when you realize that you may or may not be under mandatory evacuation. Then the sustained poor air quality ends up making you sick over and over and over again for months.

[Heidi]

39. Howdy, honey.

:hug:

Will light a candle for you, okay? So sorry you're going through this crap. :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

42. thanks

This stuff seriously triggers my PTSD.

[Lucian]

44. Wooooooooooh!

It's back! :bounce: :hi:

[Heidi]

45. Hi!

:hug:

Howz about a g'night kiss? :*

:hi:

[Lucian]

47. Hello!

:hug:

:hi:

Sure. :*

[Heidi]

50. Thanks!

Sorry for the ristretto breath. It's morning here. :rofl:

[Aristus]

54. Sparkling water.

And looking forward to some bed-time togetherness with Mrs. Aristus. She's not ready for bed yet, though. She's got a backlog of DVR'd shows to watch...

So, here I sit...

[Heidi]

55. Hiya, Aristus!

I feel certain your patience will be rewarded; meanwhile, hang with us a while. :hug: :hug:

[Aristus]

57. Sure. How are things in Switzerland?

What have you been up to?

[Heidi]

59. Working my derierre off

to get ready for the opening of a group exhibit at the end of the month. No complaints whatsoever. Well, almost none. A few, but nothing major. Okay, a couple of major complaints, but nothing earth shattering. :rofl:

How're you, Aristus? Read any good Shakespeare lately? ;)

[Aristus]

62. Yeah. I'm reading "As You Like It" right now.

It's fun, too. I'm reading the entire text off my iTouch. I got a free application with all of the plays and sonnets. To read, just tap the title you want and you can scroll through the text with the flip of a finger. Perfect for a Shakespeare fanatic like me...

[Heidi]

64. How cool!

Would that app run on my iPhone, too? :thumbsup:

[Aristus]

65. It should.

Just surf the apps pages on iTunes. It's free and the avatar is the Droushoutt portrait of Shakespeare (naturally...) Should be easy to find.

[Heidi]

66. Thank you!

I thought I was the only person in the world who really read stuff besides email and websites on a PDA. :hug: :hug:

[Aristus]

68. Of course not. There are plenty of geeks in the world besides us. :-)

Sometimes when I'm scrolling through a play, I wonder what Will would think of the technology that puts his every written word (that has survived, anyway) at the tips of my fingers and I can take anywhere. He would be astounded, no doubt...

[Heidi]

69. I'd like to think he would approve

of everything except the iPhone's lack of a cut-and-paste function. :rofl:

[Aristus]

70. He wouldn't need it.

Did you know that there are over 1,200 words that Shakespeare used just once, and never again? In addition to popularizing over 5,000 more?

[bluesbassman]

58. Hiya Heidi!

Never done a Nighthawk before...Been a long time since I was a cherry!:evilgrin:

I could use some good Lounge vibes. I'm looking to change careers. My industry (home mortgage) has become a nightmare, and I don't see it waking up soon. So, in the interest of staying alive, I'm looking for something else to do. The only problem is so are about 30,000 other mortgage people.:mad:

Ah, well, it'll all work out. How's things on your side of the pond?

[Heidi]

61. You, sir,

are one of my favorite DUers, and I will gladly light a candle and send you some good vibes. :hug: :hug:

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here, and I'm just about to step onto the patio for a smoke, if you'd care to join me. ;)

:hug:

[bluesbassman]

71. I have no idea

how I got on your good side, but I'm honored that you feel that way. :hug:

I would be glad to join you on the patio for a smoke. You wouldn't mind if mine is a cigar would you?:smoke:

[Heidi]

72. I love the smell of cigar smoke --

but only outdoors. :) When I was in college, a bunch of us young ladies got the mistaken notion that it would be a good idea to smoke Swisher Sweets while drinking Fuki Plum Wine in a tiny dorm room. As a result, I swore off plum wine and indoor smoking for a lifetime. :rofl:

[bluesbassman]

73. Ah, Swisher Sweets.

When I was a ski bum at Kirkwood, our lunch pack consisted of a bota bag with a 50/50 mix of Peppermint Schnapps and Wild Turkey, and a couple of 'Sweets. Life didn't get much better than that. (Well it did, but that was in the hot tub after sunset in the company of....)

[Inchworm]

75. A page 3 dig.. but I like these

It is a little late for much to be on my mind, but I do think life is good and things usually work out :)

:hug:

[Heidi]

76. Hiya,

friend. :hug:

:loveya:

P.S. :*

[Inchworm]

77. I'm just in my...

Life is good, I'm loved, everything is beautiful mode.

:D

PS: it's true ya know.

[Heidi]

78. On one hand, I agree.

On the other hand, I don't. Life would be truly beautiful if human rights were reality instead of just an ideal. Know what I mean, jellybean? :pals:

[Inchworm]

79. yes! you are so right

I, in fact, hate the word ideal.

If you got a chance to see my proud poppy post. Idelved into that in great detail with my punkinhead.

One step at a time :)

*daydreams*

[Heidi]

81. I saw that post and loved it.

Being a good person entails being good to others; that means respecting others. For the life of me, I'll never understand people who say, "I respect you, but..." The "but" makes a lie out of "I respect you." x(

[Inchworm]

89. You came up in the conversation

"I sorta know this girl from Texas"

She is pure real.

Typing it it doesn't make sense.. but my daughter understands my oddness :D

:)

[Heidi]

90. Except that this girl

is from Oklahoma. :rofl:

I :loveya: , ya know.

:yourock:

[Inchworm]

91. same thing

:rofl:

:*

[Heidi]

92. Oh, sh!t!

[Inchworm]

96. It's like 2 steps

If you start in the right place :D

Love ya chicky! I gotta crash.

Dream sweet when you're due to sleep :)

"Make me oh make me more than I am."

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:*

PS: hug CMW for me

[Heidi]

97. Sweet dreams, darlin'.

I'll hug my blonds for ya (CMW AND Ginger). :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

80. Wow, this thread's still alive?

Cool. :)

[Heidi]

82. Wrists, please.

:evilgrin:

[Danger Mouse]

85. Ooh.

:popcorn:

[Oeditpus Rex]

87. They're too tired

Runnin' a video camera's hard work. :P

[Heidi]

88. That's fine.

I believe I have a photo of your wrists on my HD. So there. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

93. They're rather talented wrists, y'know

I got a shot tonight of a beautiful, almost-full moon just over the treetops with a slow, steady zoom-out to put the stadium in the foreground. Got a compliment from the director. :)

[Heidi]

94. A compliment on the shot?

Or a compliment on your wrists? :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

95. She couldn't see my wrists from inside the trailer

Ya silly. :P



I wish they'd put the games on the internets. :(

[Danger Mouse]

83. Damn you tube, causing me to discover all kind of lovely nerdy goodness...

now it's 3:21 am all of a sudden...

[Heidi]

84. You have been sucked into

the youtube vortex! :rofl:

Hi, EH! :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

86. Hey Heidi...

oh, it's far too easy for me to be sucked into a nerd vortex. Anytime I find a good nerd website, I'm hopeless for several hours...ugh...
:cry:

[Robeson]

98. I see kitties! I loves me some kitties...

...:loveya:

[Heidi]

99. Robeson!!!!!

:hug:

:loveya:

[Robeson]

100. Hey Heidi. Who could resist a thread that had kitties looking out a window...

...in a diner...:hug:

[Heidi]

101. Sadly, one of those kitties has passed over the Rainbow Bridge,

but I'm gonna keep Jobycom's sweet, yawning Millie in that graphic forever. :)

:hug:

[Robeson]

102. That is sad. I recently buried one of the ferals that stayed close to our house...

...after he was hit by a car. It is heart wrenching to see them go.

[Heidi]

103. I'm sorry, Robeson.

Ginger's father was a wild cat, and I grew very attached to him. :hug: :hug:
