1. Good morning Clintmax

[Clintmax]

3. G'day Clint - hope you had a great Labor Day.

[Clintmax]

4. Yes, I did...

I worked most of it, but it was a good day! Yours OK too?

[AussieDave]

5. Too bad you had to work, but at least it didn't chomp.

Our Labor Day here is May 1, so the first Monday in September is just another day, usually the day after Father's Day.

[Clintmax]

11. Ah, OK...

Didn't even think about you having a different Labor Day. It's still winter down under isn't it? Has it been cold?

[AussieDave]

13. It's now officially Spring - here in Brisbane

we hardly had a winter at all - it's been very mild. Last weekend I was in shorts & T-shirt, but we're having cool nights and warm days. Still very dry though - the dams are a little over one-third full and we're on water restrictions.

Further south they had a real winter - snow, rain, the whole enchilada.

[Clintmax]

14. Snow!

Holey moley...and here I thought it was warm ALL the time in Australia!

[AussieDave]

18. Oh no - when the winds come up from Antarctica

then it's time for the winter woolies !!

[ahem]

7. Good morning, Clintmax!

How's Tuesday morning treating you?

[Clintmax]

9. So far so good! Not much happening so far...

Just sitting here having some coffee and talking with all my friends here on DU! How's yours been?

[ahem]

15. Not much here either...

Having a breakfast salad and trying to figure out just what it is that my elderly cat wants. He's meowing like a dickens but nothing I give him is satisfies him. One of the great mysteries...

[Clintmax]

17. Mine does that too!

Sometimes I wish I could speak "catese" so I could understand what the hells he's trying to tell me!

[ahem]

21. I know...

I feel guilty. He keeps looking at me like I'm the meanest person for not getting/doing whatever he wants. "What's wrong with you? I've been telling you for two hours that I want meeerrrrooorah!"

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning

I slept so good last night I had a tough tiem getting out of bed. Maybe going to bed earlier would help :)

[Clintmax]

10. Yeah, it would...

It's best if you go to bed at the same time every night and get up the next morning at the same time every night.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. I go to bed about the same time every night

between 11pm and midnight. But the getting up is a tough business ... LOL

[Clintmax]

16. Yeah, it sure is!

I have an awful time getting up sometimes too.

[H2O Man]

19. Good morning.

I get up early every morning, even though I'm retired. I like the mornings. Today is the last day of summer vacation for my daughters, 11 and 8. They got up a half hour ago. We live in a very secluded, rural area. We watched a doe with her twin fawns come and eat a morning meal under our apple trees. The fawns' spots are fading. Our dogs don't bother the deer, and my 120-lb German Shepard keeps this a coyote-free zone. The deer seem to know it is safe here, and spend most of the year in the pine "woods" behind my house. It's supposed to be sunny, and about 80 degrees today. Life is good.

[Clintmax]

23. That sounds fantastic!

I think it would be so cool to be able to look out the window and see deer all the time! At the same time, I'm a city boy, so that's not really possible.

[H2O Man]

35. My wife used to

live in LA. She wasn't sure she could stand the solitude here. I love it. There are a few hamlets a short distance away. I have a few neighbors, and we all seem to enjoy the same "community values" as people in these parts did 200 years ago when the area was settled.

[tjwmason]

20. Good morning Clint.

I slept stunningly well too, and am now in a bright and jolly mood.

Made even better as the one office-mate who was in this morning, has just left for an afternoon off - so I'm sitting here alone. :bounce:

:hug:

[Clintmax]

22. Hello, TJ!

I'm off work today, so I'm looking forward to just hangnin out! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

24. Lucky git - I'll have to hate you now.

But I doubt that I'll be able to do that. :loveya: (but don't let Khash see that)

Hope that you have a wonderful day.

You've got my intrigued as to the content of your "self-deleted" thread posted last night.

[Clintmax]

25. LOL...

It was a copycat thread..."You know what's missing?...a post your desktop thread!" No one responded to it, and it got to be time to go to bed, so I self deleted it and went to sleep. Nothing major, Dude. I guess everyone just wasn't in the mood for a desktop thread.

[tjwmason]

27. It just looks so mysterious

But then I'm a nosey sod, and putting up something like that just makes me want to know.

I was already in bed (before 10:30 - shocking), otherwise I would have responded.

[Clintmax]

30. It's cool...

I'm nosy sometimes too.

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Gooooood Morning!

:donut:

[Clintmax]

28. Hello, hello, Bicentennial!

How's every little thing? :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Every little thing is wonderful!

Except that my coffee hasn't kicked in yet and i have to go buy textbooks today x(

but it's ok :)

[Clintmax]

31. Glad to hear everything is wonderful!

Books are SO expensive for school! I'm sure they make a KILLING on those things!

[bicentennial_baby]

32. It's scandalous!

I've heard a rumor that Congress wants to do some kind of investigation into why the prices have increased so greatly, in relation to inflation. I can only dream...they make me mad. :P

[Clintmax]

33. I wish they'd do an investigation on GAS prices!

:rofl: I want them back down to $1.50 a gallon!

[bicentennial_baby]

34. C'mon, 1997...$0.89/ a gallon!

Man, those were the days!! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

37. It's topped £1/litre in the U.K.

With an average of about 94.6p

[Clintmax]

38. YEAH! That's even BETTER!

Come on 1997 prices!

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Good morning Clintmax!!

I apparently slept so well that I kept MrG up! :bounce: :hi:

[Clintmax]

39. Good morning, Mrs. G!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

40. Good Mornin' Clintmax!
