[KitchenWitch]

1. Very good idea

:yourock:

:hug:

:pals:

[Heidi]

4. Good morning/evening, my friend KW!

:hug:

[Wapsie B]

2. Helloooooooo Heidi!

:yourock::headbang:

:hi:

[Heidi]

5. Well, hi, bushwentawol!

:hug:

:yourock: , too!

[Droopy]

3. Hello fellow insomniacs

I was just going to start a thread about insomnia, but I decided not to.

[Heidi]

6. We can leverage this thread

for insomnia discussion, too!

Hi, Droopy! :pals: How's the self-improvement project going?

[Droopy]

10. All is going well

One month into the self improvement project and I'm really feeling good. But I still can't get to sleep before 4 or 5 AM. I haven't had any caffiene since 5:30 PM. And of course you know I don't have anything else in my system besides prescriptions. I don't know what the deal is.

[Heidi]

15. Could you be reacting differently to the meds

now that your metabolism is changing with your new health regimen? Have you asked your doctor?

:hi:

[Droopy]

27. I just had an appointment the other day

He said that the stuff I'm taking would usually have the opposite affect. But I guess it's not outside the realm of possibility. But I've been this way for the last 6 months. I can sleep, but usually not until just a little while before sunrise. And I've had a few times when I saw the light of dawn. I usually sleep until about noon. I'm glad that I have a second shift job and a boss who is sensitive to my needs. I wouldn't be able to handle first shift. I'd have to stay up all night and sleep after work.

[Heidi]

28. I think some people are just naturally nightowls

and not necessarily insomniacs. Mr. Heidi's body clock is _very_ different from my own, for example. As long it doesn't make one's life unmanageable, I don't see a problem. :shrug:

Congratulations on your success this past month, Droopy. I think you've been an inspiration to other DUers. :thumbsup:

[Droopy]

34. I hope that I have inspired someone

to become healthy and give up bad habits. That would make my year.

I'm not the brightest bulb so if I can change I think anybody can.

[Heidi]

45. You're plenty bright, Droopy.

It shows in your writing.

Heidi's Oracle (and Magic 8-Ball) say that once you get all of your health concerns in order, you'll be in prime condition to write your book of Road Stories. An eager audience awaits . . . :hug:

[Droopy]

60. Thank you

I feel kind of dumb sometimes, though. I guess I am dumb about some things. But so what? I can't know everything I guess.

[Heidi]

64. That's insecurity, _not_ stupidity.

I feel that way, too, sometimes, but I know I'm not stupid.

From what I can tell, you live your life with love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. That's a wisdom a lot of people don't have.

[Droopy]

76. Thanks again

You're right. Insecurity has dogged me my whole life. I've noticed lately, however, that as my attitude improves I also get more confident.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. Yodel-odel ay Hee Hooo!

[Heidi]

8. Good evening/morning, my Crazy friend!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. What time is it over there?

[Heidi]

12. 8:40 a.m.

We're GMT+1, or seven hours later than US central time zone.

:hi:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

You said it's 8:40AM. Your minutes might be off.

[Heidi]

18. There's about a five-minute difference

between my computer and my kitchen clock. Computer now says 8:45 a.m., and the kitchen clock says 8:39 a.m. :shrug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. Oh. I think if you doulble click on the time, you can change

it or update it from there.

[Heidi]

29. I'd do that

if I knew the _real_ time. :rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

31. When you click on it, is there a tab that says Internet time? If

so click on that and click update. After it finishes click OK.

[Heidi]

47. I'm gonna let Mr. Heidi do it.

Our Windows is totally in German. :cry:

[LastKnight]

11. evening folks

hows life?

[Heidi]

13. Good evening/morning, Grasshopper.

( :rofl: )

[LastKnight]

14. ehhhh what?

am i missin something?

[Heidi]

16. You're too young

to have seen the 70s TV series with David Carradine, "Kung Fu," aren't you? He was this wise sort of Asian philosopher and Kung Fu guy, and he called almost everyone younger than him, "Grasshopper."

:hug:

[LastKnight]

19. ive heard the expression

but ive never seen the show.

so i suppose i call anyone older than me 'Sensei' then?

[Heidi]

23. Nah, you can just call me Heidi.

:rofl:

[gmoney]

17. Hey, I baked cookies...

Just thought I'd share them with Heidi and her posse of Nighthawks before I called it a night.

:)

[Heidi]

20. Oooooooooooooooooooooo. Yum!

Chocolate chips are a limited resource here. Thank you for reminding me to send my mom a groveling email today!

Sharing is caring! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

21. Thank you, they are delicious

Yummmmmmm

Chocolate chips.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear Heidi!

Hello tonight/tomorrow to you....I'm happy tonight...my blueness is gone...and the world looks much better now....

How's things with my good friend?

BTW, I hit 6000 posts tonight!



:woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

25. w00t

WTG Peggy!

:yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear KitchenWitch....

Thanks to you for your special thoughts...I love ya!

I just finished posting in your chocolate thread...that stuff is amazingly tasty!

:pals: :loveya:

[Heidi]

26. Hey, congratulations, Peggy!

I'm glad your blues have passed, too. :hug:

Here's your morning webshot across the lake to our village:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Oh that is one gorgeous pic!

I'd be jealous except I love my Pacific Ocean ...although I have to drive down to see it...

Thanks for your good thoughts...I appreciate them so much...

Don't we have the MOST special place on the earth? DU is the BEST!

And it's all the odder for being 'virtual'...whatever that means!

You are special to me and I thank God for your friendship!

:grouphug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

71. You're special, too, Peggy . . .

and I'm honored by your friendship. :loveya:

[Floogeldy]

32. I wrote a poem for Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I didn’t care and threw the spool
Though, the thread was necessary
Needed to mend a sleeve
And the dog’s sweater got ripped

The dust devils under the bed
Are moonwalking
The air conditioner compressor
Is chirping.

There is thunder in the clouds
The cigarette lighter is empty
A small cup is balanced
Atop a jelly jar

Food is shipped in boxes
They have holes for spiders
Wet paper towels get weak
But my hands were already clean

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Hey there, my dear floog!

I like your poem....That's darned good...kind of abstract yet real at the same time...

Thanks for sharing it!

:loveya: :hug:

[Floogeldy]

37. It wasn't meant to be good.

Just totally spontaneous. It took 90 seconds to compose.

But I'm glad you liked it, CalPeg. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Well, you know....I do like it....

And the fact that you wrote it in 90 seconds only makes it more impressive, my dear Floogeldy!

:silly:

[Floogeldy]

43. I like it too.

:)

Thank you.

[alarcojon]

65. Hi Floogeldy

the heavens, the skies

flirt with our emotions

the sea, the wind

flow upon our souls

the nighthawks

cheer our fiery embers

awaken our spirit

and end another day

as well as we could want.

[Floogeldy]

73. That is beautiful.

Hi, alarcojon. :) :hi:

[alarcojon]

77. Why thanks!

I always like yours. :hi:

[Heidi]

41. Here's a poem I didn't write

but it's one of my absolute favorites. It's by a guy named Taylor Mali, a former junior high school teacher who now is a performing poet in NYC. Enjoy, Floog, et al.

"Playing Scrabble with Eddie, or
The Lesson of Language"
By Taylor Mali, www.taylormali.com

Despite his dyslexia or perhaps because of it,
Eddie can beat every eighth grader in Scrabble,
kick their ass, and he knows it. But he can't say it,
because to do so would mean automatic detention.
Scrabble was made for his mind.

Show him a rack of seven letters,
he'll tell you in an instant 10 different words
that use some combination of them,
his mind hard-wired for discombobulating vowels
and the hangling clangor of consonants:
a defecting filter straining out every single possibility.

But ask him to spell those 10 words,
and he'll give you DEAR instead or READ,
and sometimes even DARE.
Combine dyslexia with hyperactivity,
which we now call Attention Deficit Disorder,
ADD, or as Eddie says winsomely, DDA,
"Dad!"

15 milligrams of Ritalin taken twice a day,
dispensed by the nurse, an IQ of 140
and all the hormones of a 13 year old boy
dying for an education, and you have
a whacked-out, horny eighth grade genius
staring at seven letters on his rack
as if just getting the tiles in the right order
could unlock all the secrets of the language.

Eddie stares at my face, the board his tiles,
his tiles, the board, my face.
And I wonder what his rearranging mind
is doing with my nose, my mouth, my ears & my eyes.
How many one-eyed Picasso-faced English teachers
stare back at him from the educated audience
of his adolescence?

But here comes the word:
K-C-U-F
Kcuf? What's that?
And Eddie reddens. Eddie reddens
like he finally got the punch line to a dirty joke,
which in a way he has. Eddie reddens
like I've finally caught him swearing,
which in a way I haven't. Yet.

And the letters pivot around the K:
C-U-F.
Oh. Fuck. Well, that's different.
"Is that okay, Mr. Mali?"
Okay? What with the F on the Double Letter square
and the K on the Double Word, that's much more
than just okay, young man.
That's 32 points right there!
"Holy shit!" says Eddie.

And I give him a detention on the spot.
"Mr. Mali! What's up with that?
How come you let me play a word-"
Language, young man. Language.

[Floogeldy]

51. Thanks for that.

:)

[enigmatic]

152. Oh, that's great

I love that:)

[Heidi]

165. Taylor Mali is brilliant.

You actually should play something of his on the air, engimatic.

He's really a great guy, very personable, kind and smart. Here's his website: www.taylormali (You can read more of his poems there, and I bet he'd provide you with something to play on the air.)

[enigmatic]

168. Got it

I'm going to E him tomorrow; thanks for this!

[AVulgarianHue]

52. The dust devils...

:rofl:

no doubt your moonwalking phrase will be repeatedly used by me when cleaning.

[Floogeldy]

56. I would be honored!

:)

[Wetzelbill]

98. I like that

simple and nicely said. I think writing with bare language is really an art. Some people try to get too pretty just to be too pretty. I have that problem. I was feeling this,

[Floogeldy]

105. Thank you, WB.

:)

[Dirk39]

36. Some are born to sweet delight

Some are born to the endless night...


"Some people work very hard,
but still they never get it right...

Wine in the morning
and some breakfast at night.
Well I'm beginning to see the light.

There are problems in these times
but none of them are mine
Baby, I'm beginning to see the light.
Here we go again..."

Hello from Germany,
Dirk

[Heidi]

153. Dirk!

Welcome to our dysfunctional little thread! :hi:

(Sorry I missed your post earlier. This thread somehow picked up more steam than I expected.)

[texanwitch]

38. Hello Heidi

What going on. :toast:

[Heidi]

42. Hi, texanwitch!

I'm taking the gigantic technological step of re-setting the time on our new computer. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

53. I don't think I remember how to, I would have to check the book.

:think:

[Heidi]

63. I'm gonna let Mr. Heidi do it.

Our version of Windows is in German. :shrug:

[texanwitch]

70. I bought this new computer last year and never really learn how use it.

I am to much of an internet junkie.

I learned just enough and now I really wished I learned more.

[Heidi]

74. The fact that our version of Windows is in German

makes me insecure, but our choices were German or Italian, and my Italian is even worse than my German. Very intimidating. Isn't it odd, though, that I can swear quite well in about five languages? :rofl:

[texanwitch]

82. I could speak a little German when I was a kid but I forgot now.

There is nothing wrong with swearing if you need to, helps to deal with the stress.

I wish I would have kept up with my German and Czech but I didn't so I lost it.

[Heidi]

90. We're never too old to learn something new.

I remind myself of that every day as I struggle with thinking in several languages in parallel. My husband and I speak English together, but the rest of the family here speaks Italian, Solothurn dialect of German, Swiss-German, and a little French and Spanish, depending on the family gathering. Sometimes I'm on "overload," but survival is a good motivater. ;)

[texanwitch]

123. I tried but at the time I had to much going on, I might try again.

My German and Czech would have had to much of a Texas accent anyway.

A lot of Germans and Czechs came to Texas, lots of them. My mother's side of the family is Czech. I would like to go to Europe but money has been a major problem.

[AVulgarianHue]

39. Nice photos...

Now I have wanderlust and cookie cravings.

Hello sweeties!

[Heidi]

44. Hi, AVH!

How was your Saturday? :pals:

[AVulgarianHue]

67. My Saturday was lovely.

Visited with new friends. Giggled with their children.

Dusted off books from storage to put on the shelves, which was like visiting with old friends.

Hey, the cat on the patio photo..does he always look that amazing?

[Heidi]

69. I know what you mean about visiting with old books . . .

and there's a smell about my books that I love.

Yeah, the Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is a regal vision to behold. I am his obedient slave. :shrug:

[madrchsod]

46. i posted yesterday morning at 5

[Heidi]

50. Hi, there, madrchsod!

[Wetzelbill]

81. Hi KW

[Heidi]

57. Yello?

Pick a color, any color:



:hi: bill!

[Wetzelbill]

84. I know, I know

I always have my weird little greetings. :)

[alarcojon]

78. Hi Bill

[Wetzelbill]

86. not much

Just trying to read the NY Times and a few other things. Prepare for all the Sunday morning political shows. You know how it is. :)

[MrScorpio]

49. Hey, my little Swiss Miss

:hug:

[alarcojon]

58. Mr. S, how's the Joao Gilberto?

[MrScorpio]

61. Kicking, as always

Ever tried Bebel Gilberto?

[alarcojon]

68. I take that as a recommendation

Any disk in particular you really groove on?

[MrScorpio]

75. She's ALL good

http://www.bebelgilberto.com/

[Heidi]

59. Hello, darlin'!

Thanks for the hug! :loveya:

[Wetzelbill]

101. hey MrScorpio

what's going on?

[MrScorpio]

119. Yo, Homes

Just digging on some late nite Brazilian grooves

[Wetzelbill]

136. nearly a year ago

I went to the Tucson Poetry Festival last year with a friend of mine who was doing a reading there. One of the other guests that night was this Brazilian woman named Luciana Souza. She's a jazz musician and singer etc. She sung Pablo Neruda poems set to Brazilian music. Damn it was beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Here is her website. http://www.lucianasouza.com/index.html

[alarcojon]

54. Hi everyone!

Hope all is well with everyone.

No big news to report here. Heidi, what's the eyeworm for today? Droopy, I've been up till 3 or 4 for some weeks now - managing on 5 or 6 hours per day. Last Knight, we're both just waiting for classes to start, I gather. Mine start September 6. Cal Peg, glad you're feeling better! CG, I really love those threads with pictures of beautiful places you start sometimes. KW, always nice to see you - does your nickname mean you are a great cook? Hello also to you, BWA. Lastly, thanks for the cookies, gmoney!

Here's a small shot of the area near where I live.



On edit: and hi to all who checked in while I was compposing this!

[Heidi]

62. What a beautiful lake!

Glad you're here, alarcojon!

No new eyeworm for today, but here's an older watercolor, one of the first paintings I ever made:

[Droopy]

66. How did you remember what we all said?

If I had a memory like that I would have finished college.

Do you have a pond on your property? The picture is pretty.

[alarcojon]

72. No, I live near a couple of rivers

It is a beautiful area.

I do have a good memory, but while composing I checked back and forth. I guess I cheated!

[In_The_Wind]

79. Hello .... Heidi ... and all the Nighthawks

[Heidi]

80. Joan!

Hello, my friend!

I didn't realize until yesterday that you, too, are an HST admirer. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

89. among other things

I am a woman of mystery slowly sharing only a few secrets with close friends.

:hug:

[Heidi]

93. Dare I ask . . .

William S. Burroughs? Bukowski? Kerouac? Ginsberg?

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

121. Only ~ if you truly care to know ...

About a bonfire representing Hecate ~ bearer of Light that illuminates the Darkness. ... I wandered around here www.rosencomet.com for 3 days, until I was certain there was no one I knew from my hometown ... before I shed my clothes to walk around a huge bonfire. On my first time around ... I was asking myself 'why' because I wanted the shelter of my cloak before I was 1/2 way back to where I had carefully placed it on a log. When I'd made it around the first time, I decided that it wasn't so bad. At the end of my second turn, I was walking a bit more carefree. By the time I finished my third and final walk around that HUGE fire I had added the energy of the light to my heart. I walked over to my old green moleskin cape and picked up my newly purchased green lace cape ... as it settled around my naked shoulders the very rare Green Caped Joani was born.




Namaste

[Heidi]

129. .

I had a conversation once about binaural rhythm with a guy sitting beside me on an all-day / all-night greyhound bus ride from Gainesville, Fla. to Key West, Fla., a few years ago. This may be discussion for PMs, though. Fascinating.

:yourock: Joan!

[In_The_Wind]

144. uh hm

Sounds like the things I study while I do my winter hibernation.

It's 4:12 ... I gotta catch SOME sleep before the sun comes up ... goodnight again, my friend.

[Heidi]

145. Sweet dreams, Joan.

:hug:

[Wetzelbill]

91. hey Joani!

How's it going, my friend? :)

[In_The_Wind]

135. Hi ya ~ Bill!

It was ... as quite a few of my days are ... filled with surprises. My trike isn't going on any long rides until I can return it to the local shop where it was built. I believe it has a shock that's about to give up, at least ... I hope its nothing worse than that :scared:



How was that movie you wanted to finish watching?

[Wetzelbill]

175. 24?

It was great. Nearly 4 hours of Jack Bauer whipping ass. I loved it. I need to hurry up and rent the next disc so I can finish the whole second season before school gets too hectic. :)

[alarcojon]

94. Hi Joan

Love that avatar. Hope all is well with you.

[In_The_Wind]

138. Hi ~ alarcojon

She is a cute little avatar with a bit of an attitude ...


as the saying goes ... I gaining on it ... 3 steps forward and only 1 or 2 backward


How are things with you?

[alarcojon]

141. Not bad

I'm getting in the last throes of summer before classes start September 6. After that, things will get a lot more hectic, and I'll probably have to get to sleep a lot earlier. We'll probably be on Nighthawks XXIV by then!

[In_The_Wind]

157. Enjoy the last days of summer!

You'll find me on the morning and evening threads when you're back at school. If I can stay awake ... I'll see you tomorrow night. I'm off to bed, goodnight.

[alarcojon]

163. Nitey nite!

[enigmatic]

83. Hey everybody

Sorry I'm late; long night and lostsa programming to do:)

[MrScorpio]

85. Yo, Dog!

Get a good look at the list?

[enigmatic]

95. Still looking, bro

And right now I'm up to 13 cuts!

[MrScorpio]

100. Anything on that list you want to know more about, I've got some info

As you can tell, my home office jams had

[enigmatic]

115. You've got some great stuff

I've been looking for somebody to do an electronica/dance show for the longest time; I've got a couple of syndicators trying to get me to try out their shows, but it's justy bland generic stuff everybody else plays. I relly like your taste in that area..

[MrScorpio]

120. Hey, I'm Detroit. You can't get any better than that

Plus I've got a lot of stuff that I brought back from Europe personally

My collection is the real deal

[enigmatic]

134. I'm really intrigued by the Euro stuff

I'm pretty knowledgeable about music, but alot of that I've never heard of, so I'm going to need a primer on it when I E you..

[Wetzelbill]

88. I just showed up a bit ago myself

so what's going on?

[MrScorpio]

92. Bebel Gilberto

http://www.bebelgilberto.com/

[Wetzelbill]

108. whew, it's getting hot in here

I got weak as soon as I saw her. :)

[alarcojon]

113. A beautiful, talented woman, indeed.

[enigmatic]

103. Work and the station

Had my first night at the new job tonight; got home and realized I forgot to do tomorrow's programming! Ugh...

What up w/ you?

[Wetzelbill]

114. not much at all

I just watched The Real Cancun a bit ago. Now I'm trying to do some reading, NY Times and other non-MSM stuff, to get prepared for all the Sunday shows in the morning.

So what all do you do at your new job anyway? I never heard what kind of job it was.

[enigmatic]

118. Banquet stuff

serving and bartending; I've been doing that to support myself while I did my music and writing things since I was 18. Did a Shriners convention tonight; oy!

[alarcojon]

122. These guys?

[enigmatic]

127. hahahaha!

I love that album cover:)

That's them; I've done Masonic conventions before, too; crazy, crazy people..

[Wetzelbill]

126. hey creative people often

have to take on other gigs just to keep us afloat while we do what we love. I know what you mean. Suffering for your art makes it all that more special.

I left a message on my friend's answering machine that you were looking to get in contact with him and also told him to let the guys from The Croutons know as well. Haven't heard from him, but I'm sure he got the message.

Fuck, I'm preparing for school on Monday. First day back. I can't believe I'm actually kind of nervous. I thought I got over that shit in 6th grade, lol.

[enigmatic]

133. You'll do great

I have no doubts about that; Mom taught us well:) What are you taking this year?

I've got a bunch of bands I have to get in contact with this week, and they are at the top of the list. I'm going to have to give myself a raise or something!

[Wetzelbill]

142. geez are you sure you aren't a Republican?

Give yourself a raise, lol. Just make sure you have a spoiled drunken son, he probably could become Prime Minister or something. :)

Oh, school is easy, I have certain gifts that make it easy for me to get A's etc. It's just actually having to go somewhere everyday that I don't like, haha.

I am taking: Health Care Policy, Tribal Government, Political Theory, and International Relations. All political science courses. I wasn't able to fit in any of my required writing classes, although I wish I could have. Should be an interesting semester, anyway. I really wanted to take International Relations. I'm glad it was open.

[alarcojon]

147. You never get over the nerves of the first day

I've been teaching for eleven years and I still get those butterflies every time.

[Heidi]

96. Hey, enigmatic!

Look up-thread. There's "a poem I didn't write" that I think you'd enjoy.

:hug:

[enigmatic]

104. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

I'm there:)

[In_The_Wind]

97. Hi ~ enigmatic

I thought I had turned-in for the night ... but ... here I am.

How is that toe of yours doing?

[enigmatic]

110. Pretty good

It's almost gone; the pain, that is:) Didn't sticjk around as long as last year's flare-up, so I'm happy:)

[In_The_Wind]

150. great ... I'm glad it didn't last as long as usual.

I'm off to try for a few hours sleep ... I have an appointment at 11:00 ... all I have to do is get there ... and relax while I'm hanging out on a massage table for an hour.

goodnight enigmatic

[enigmatic]

162. Goodnight!

:hug:

[alarcojon]

99. Hi E

did you get around to playing Ace of Spades? heh heh

[MrScorpio]

102. So what do you think of Bebel?

[alarcojon]

109. Liking it.

I might have to get me some of that thar music.

[MrScorpio]

116. She's the bomb!

[enigmatic]

111. I did, my friend!

w/ Frank Sinatra's "One For My Baby" right afterwards!

[alarcojon]

117. I guess I fell asleep before it came on

Gosh darn it!

I don't share your greed / the only card I need / the ace of spades! / the ace of spades allright!

125. Lemmy's da man

He's the Real Deal; so many others out there are pretenders.

You're not going to believe this, but when we were in our car accident a few weeks ago, I had to get checked out by the EMT's. One British guy was working on me and asked me what I did for a living and I mentioned my station and the overnight show (which I never fail to promote when I can:) Anyway, he asks me what I play, and I tell him anything from Hank Williams to Motorhead, and the guy looks at me and says "I was a roadie for Motorhead in 1982!!" He then proceeds to tell me about Lemmy and Phil and what great (but insane) guys theyy were, and I ended up giving him one of my cards!

Small freakin' world sometimes..

[AVulgarianHue]

154. Heidi is busy tonight

being naughty and nice.

[Heidi]

156. Ya know, that's the first time I've a thread

locked. I'm really embarassed. :blush:

[enigmatic]

159. You're one up on me!

I don't think I've ever had one locked; yours was pretty mild, though. I wouldn't be embarrassed..

[Heidi]

160. Oy.

I feel like an idiot. (But I'm getting over it.)

:hug:

[enigmatic]

164. Nahhhhhh

You're an artist:hug:

[AVulgarianHue]

169. Tut

It was amusing. I suppose getting the swift attention and locked might have an embarrassing effect:yoiks:

[Heidi]

170. It was surprising.

Sort of like not looking both ways before crossing a four-lane highway, and not exactly getting smushed by an 18-wheeler, but feeling it whistle by within inches of one's body. :scared: A sobering effect, you might say.

[EstimatedProphet]

155. Someday I should go to bed

[Heidi]

158. EstimatedProphet . . .

would you tell all the Mods that I'm really sorry about the "naughty email" thread that resulted in lockage? That's the first time that's ever happened to me, and I didn't intend for it to be a sex thread. (Thank you to the Mod who locked it.)

:hug:

[EstimatedProphet]

172. Done

And thank you.

[billyskank]

166. ...

:hug:

[Heidi]

167. Good morning, billy!

:hug: rightbackatcha!

Time for me to check out. A pleasure chatting with you all!

[bridgit]

:rofl:

[Heidi]

174. Yikes.

I'm totally embarassed about that other thread. :blush:

Hey, I got some bee-you-tee-ful photos and art in the mail yesterday morning! Does Mr. Bridgit like Anselm Kiefer? (I do!)

The lady above is a beauty, by the way. Sassygirl. :loveya:

[bridgit]

176. it seems like he would, huh, i'll put the name...

on the side so he can see it, i'm glad you like his new series piece & that he now has a well connected patron it's really great to be near it = very happy feeling, early on i recall he mentioned 'happiness is right there on the palette' i thought i already knew knew what he meant...but then he introduced me to: francis bacon (who i like), and i understood :thumbsup:

:loveya:

[jpgray]

180. People who are on DU at this time of night are beneath contempt

:eyes:

[alarcojon]

181. Don't mess with the Nighthawks, pal!

[jpgray]

182. And everyone who posts in this thread should be shot

The entire lounge should have its collective head cut off and placed on a stake outside the GDs as a warning to those who would post nonsense late at night.

[LastKnight]

185. and yet, here you are.

[jpgray]

190. People who miss irony, however, are the most exalted of beings (nt)

[Heidi]

Another night for the Nighthawks

[Heidi]

How was your Sunday?

[MrScorpio]

191. I was a good one

I'm working on my first ever radio show

[Heidi]

192. Cool!

Can you say more without sacrificing your anonymity?

Good luck! :hug:

[MrScorpio]

193. I'm doing the show as MrScorpio

I'm going to call it "The Hottest Sounds"

[enigmatic]

194. I snagged him for Radio Enigma

He's going to give us a little culture:)

[Heidi]

196. Now, _that's_ awesome!

:hug: to both of you Nighthawks!

[enigmatic]

198. Thanks Heidi

:hug:

I can't wait to hear the show!

[Heidi]

You really should make an announcement in the Lounge so that Mr Scorpio's fans can tune in at the right time/day!

[enigmatic]

[alarcojon]

197. Hi Nighthawks!

Even you, jpgraymatter!

:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

199. Hi, alarcojon!

Yeah, I was wondering what that "beneath contempt" crack was about. :shrug:

[alarcojon]

205. Isn't it great though, that the nighthawks have room for all...

....even the haters?

[enigmatic]

206. I'm pretty sure

He was snarking on another poster that was trashing The Lounge as a whole last night and today;)

[enigmatic]

[enigmatic]

207. Goodnight!

[Heidi]

209. Hi, bushwentawol!

I've intended to ask you whether you've listened to the music of Iowa's own Greg Brown. He's one of my favorites. You can listen to sound samples here: http://www.gregbrown.org/gbsound.html

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

211. Hey there, everybody...it's Sunday night where I am...

I had a pleasant weekend...did some fun things, like get a much-needed haircut, and today my husband and I went to a book-signing. A friend of ours writes books on our town's culture and history. Every time she publishes a new book, she kicks it off with a book signing at her home....they are fun!

Back to a more "normal" week tomorrow!

[Heidi]

216. Hi, gf!

That sounds like a nice weekend!
