Hello nighthawks

[MissHoneychurch]

good to see you :hi:

[billyskank]

1. Morning MissH

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. morning my fellow European

are you already at work? :hi:

[billyskank]

6. Not yet

It's only ten to eight. I am sat at home, in my bathrobe, scoffing a banana. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

8. when do you start working

ten to eight I was already on my way to work.

[billyskank]

10. Nine o'clock. I will leave about half past eight.

You were already on your way? Either you start working early, or you live a long way away.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. I start at around 8am

that way I don't have to work till 5 or 6 pm to get my hours but can leave between 4 and 5pm. And I have a quiet hour in the morning before my co-worker and boss comes in.

[NMMNG]

2. Top o' the morning to you

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Hey there

it is nice to have you back :hug:

[NMMNG]

17. Why thank you

[MissHoneychurch]

20. How was the vacation?

did you had a good time with your family? I am not even asking about DC, as I am sure you had a blast there.

[NMMNG]

25. It was quite nice

We went to a craft fair, a festival, hung out in Boston for a day, and went to numerous bookstores. Setting me loose in a bookstore with money is like leaving a hungry dog in a butcher shop. I ended up with 12 books which put my luggage 10lbs overweight so I had to pay a surcharge. In addition to the the rally/march in DC I also went to the Green Festival. I ended up buying 7 books there. I have tons of reading to do--yay! I have to go back to work later tonight though (Thursday) :-( .

[MissHoneychurch]

32. we think alike

me and bookstores ..... it is a sin to leave without at least one book. Right now I try not to go into one since I have more than enough books at home to read. My brother is co-owner of a second hand bookstore and it is always expensive to go in there, even though he gives us the books even cheaper than they already are. Good thing he lives in Berlin and I only get there one ore two times a year.

[SeattleGirl]

38. I love bookstores!

The room I'm sitting in now is my cheapo version of a home library. I have three 3-level towers of those cheapo bookshelves, and two 2-level towers of the bookshelves, plus 2 other shelves in another part of the house. Hubby teases me that for every book I bring home I have to get rid of one. I tell him I'd rather run naked through downtown Seattle -- and believe me, you'd rather not see THAT!

:rofl:

So what do you like to read? Me, I like current political issue/people books, true crime, fictional crime, and Native American lore. Plus some comedy books, and some sports (especially baseball --I love baseball!)

[MissHoneychurch]

40. different stuff

fictional crime, fantasy (but only Terry Pratchett), Native American (fiction and non-fiction), biographies for example.

When you get in my apt, first thing you see in the hallway are my two big bookshelves. I don't have space for them in my living room, but there and in the bedroom are shelves also.

[SeattleGirl]

47. Ever read any Mary Summer Rain?

I love her series of books. Sent her a letter once, and got a response from her. She seems like a pretty cool person. In college, I did an independent study on the religious (for lack of a better word) aspect of the Native American culture. Have felt deeply tied to them since, and then ended up marrying a Chippewa. Life is interesting!

[MissHoneychurch]

48. no, I haven't heard of her

a book I really liked was Susan Power "The Grass dancer" and I read books about the history. In between I considered studying etymology. But in the end I became a librarian.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Haven't hear of that book.

I'll have to check her out. And do look into the Mary Summer Rain books. I love 'em!

[MissHoneychurch]

51. will do for sure

any other authors you can recommend?

about "The Grass Dancer": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0425149625/qid=1127982144/sr=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-2815859-8738228?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

[SeattleGirl]

53. Looks good.

Thanks Honey!

[MissHoneychurch]

55. yw

I am glad I found someone who is also interested in Native American literature.

[SeattleGirl]

64. The culture is tied to me with a golden thread.

Once it found me, I couldn't let it go.

[MissHoneychurch]

67. I understand you

I think you are lucky to be able to live and experience it so deeply.

[SeattleGirl]

68. It's a blessing, indeed

But it has brought pain. I'll PM you soon about my experience after reading Phoenix Rising.

[enigmatic]

5. Hey MH!

:hug:

I'm going to be crashing very soon, but I'm glad I got to see you tonight..

[MissHoneychurch]

7. glad to see you too

:hug:

have a sound sleep and sweet dreams

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Good morning to you, my dear MissHoneyhurch........

Glad to see you on board at this hour....

I will soon be heading for bed myself...but first I wanted to say hello to you!

Hope all is well with you today!


:pals: :loveya:




edited for spelling

[MissHoneychurch]

12. I am always on at this hour

since I am at work :)

you have a souund sleep and see you when you wake up again (which then will be time for me to leave work - time difference is a strange thing).

[Robeson]

13. Hey MissHoneychurch! A visit to the lounge wouldn't be complete...

...without seeing you here!...:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. He Robeson

it put a smile on my face to see you here :hi:

[Robeson]

15. For that, I'm going to give you a BIG....

...:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. hopefully you can give me one

one day in real life. :)

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hey, can I join the nighthawks?

Just after midnight here on the west coast...nice to see other "nighties" hanging out.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. what a question

of course you are welcome. Hey, you are more a nighthawk than I am (it is 9.10am here) :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

21. Thank you, ma'am!

Geez, and I thought I stayed up late! B-)

[MissHoneychurch]

23. nah, midnight isn't THAT late

hell, I stay awake till midnight often enough. :)

[SeattleGirl]

35. Agreed!

Damn good thing I work from home and can make my own schedule! Otherwise, I'd really be in trouble! B-)

[SeattleGirl]

22. So for the folks for whom it is still night

what are ya'll doin'? Obviously the umbilical cord to DU is still attached, and I'm watching Court TV with one eye while keeping the other eye on the computer.

[Robeson]

24. I'm watching Iron Chef. I'm a vegetarian, so I find it a challenge to...

...see how I can convert their carnivore recipes into a vegetarian recipe...

[MissHoneychurch]

27. I love vegeterian food

I am not strictly a vegeterian, but I barely eat meat, so it is always interesting to find new recipes. Beside my favorite pasta dishes :D

[Robeson]

30. If you want some good vegie recipes, here's a link in the Vegie....

...group that is nothing buy vegie recipes, started by, your's truly!... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=231&topic_id=497&mesg_id=497

[MissHoneychurch]

33. bookmarked

thank you for the link :D I will check the recipes out later when I have more time.

[OneGrassRoot]

74. Cool....thank you!

I've been vegetarian forever but lost my interest in cooking in recent years.....you've inspired me! :)

[Robeson]

88. Wow! Thanks so much. I'm glad I could inspire a fellow veggie...

...and I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your post. I was in some other groups, and came back to find it. Hope that thread helps for you. I've tried many of the recipes that other have posted, and they are awesome! Thanks again!

[chknltl]

83. just ghosting through here ......

A big Thank You for that recipe link, Robeson, some yummy stuff there, hope you do not mind. Hi all, und Gruss Gott Mz H. Berlin should just be phasing past my fave time of year about now if I recall, all those flowers in all those gardens! The smell was incredible! I have many great memories of that city from long ago.

[Robeson]

89. I don't mind at all. That post is for sharing....

...thats what we veggies are all about...spreading the word. Hope you find some things on there you like. Thanks so much for responding!..:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

37. Is it the Japanese version?

I love that show! Probably couldn't eat most of what the prepare (I'm such a picky eater, but hubby has taught me to like lots of things I used to hate, 'cause he's a fabulous cook), but for purely entertainment value, Iron Chef is great! By comparison, Iron Chef America is dull!

[Robeson]

39. Oh Yes! It's the Japanese show....

...you are right, the American version pales in comparison.

[SeattleGirl]

41. With the Japanese version

I can't understand a damned thing they say, but the MC is so damned funny! He talks a mile a minute in Japanese, and that combined with the video, well -- no interpretation needed. Perhaps the American host can take a cue -- not with the language, but with the enthusiasm he brings to the show.

My fav show on Food Network is the one with Paula Deen. She totally cracks me up, mostly because I spent a lot of time in the south, and knew a lot of "Paula's" there.

[Robeson]

44. Yes, the Japanese seem to know how to bring a sense of drama...

...to it. Its like life and death when you watch their version. Its very entertaining.

[SeattleGirl]

46. Don't they, though!

Ever see "Ran"? Man, that was one intense movie -- beautiful and horrifying at the same time. Seems they bring much of the same intensity to other things, though of course, "Ran" didn't make me laugh like "Iron Chef". ;-}

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear SeattleGirl.......

As you can tell by my username, I too am on the west coast...and normally I stay up later than this....

But tonight I'm just a bit under the weather (early UTI) and I need m sleep....

So I'm off to bed shortly......Have fun here..the Lounge at night is a very special place......

We get to know and love each other here at this time, and it creates a true community.....

Sometimes I can almost feel the web of interconnectivity that makes us into a whole......




:grouphug:

[billyskank]

29. Goodnight Peggy!

I gotta leave now. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Hey Peggy

Nice to meet you! I've read lots of your posts in the Lounge, and seen some pictures of your lovely smiling face. Hope you feel better soon.

:hug:

[billyskank]

28. I'm about to go to work!

Sorry, I'm not one of the folks for whom it is still night.. :evilgrin:

[Tom Kitten]

31. hello!

I am just magnetically attracted!

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Hello Tom Kitten

attracted to me or to the nighthawks in general? (and don't you dare to say the wrong thing :) )

[Tom Kitten]

43. well...

I did reply to your post, not the nighthawks in general (to be frank...)!

[MissHoneychurch]

45. ...

:D :blush: I feel honored. Just alone your name makes me love ya :loveya:

[Tom Kitten]

52. it's funny that way...

please don't blush on my account...Some eyeliner and a bit of mascara is all I could hope for...

[MissHoneychurch]

56. it is all I am using on my face

:D ... or did you want that stuff for you? :P

[Tom Kitten]

61. ...

I blush easily enough naturally, thank you...but the eye liner and mascara...if I decided to wear it do you think it would help me get ahead in life?

[MissHoneychurch]

62. depending on what you wanna do in your life

now, if you are a clown for example, eye liner and mascara might be helpful ... or if you are Marilyn Manson .... ya know :D

other than that ... I have to know how it looks on you :D

[Tom Kitten]

76. I intensely dislike clowns and Marilyn Manson...

forget I ever said anything...

[MissHoneychurch]

78. ok, I will never mention it again

don't want you to be upset or anything :hug:

[Tom Kitten]

82. sure you won't!

I can see you bringing it up again when we're both in our eighties...

[MissHoneychurch]

84. just when we are alone together

.... ya know after all the kids and the years together .... :D

[Tom Kitten]

85. it will be then and only then

that I gruffingly allow you to make me over...

[MissHoneychurch]

86. ok, I will keep it in mind

print this page and will show it to you in some years :)

[Tom Kitten]

87. and in return I will keep you in mind...

I have a special little bookmark, just for you...

[SeattleGirl]

42. Love your Cindy pic! n/t

[gmoney]

49. Isn't Nighthawks a trademark of HeidiCorp?

Better be careful... Heidi's team of copyright lawyers may come after you for using her "Nighthawks" brand name for your own thread. Or are you a franchisee?

Sorry... it's REALLY not the right time of day for my eyes to be open and for me to post! Hope you have a great day "Honey" -- I'll probably see you later, when *I* should be the one working instead of posting to DU.

:hug: :boring: :hug: :boring: :hug: :boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. I am sure Heidi won't mind

if she does I guess I have to go to her place and ask for forgiveness .... hmmm, that doesn't sound like a punishment :D

[Robeson]

57. I'm sure, too, MissHoneychurch, that Heidi wouldn't mind at all....

...and I feel I could speak for Heidi on this issue, whether Heidi agrees or not!...;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

58. thanks for covering my back

:hug:

[Robeson]

63. I've got your back. Without my favorite Frau and Fraulein...

...the lounge wouldn't be the same....:toast:

[Heidi]

73. I'm sure Edward Hopper doesn't mind,

because he's dead. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

79. see :-)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4073507

[gmoney]

81. Gosh... I was just kidding.

Thought it was obvious... but I could be hallucinating. :)

Better crawl back under the covers and hope for the best.

[tjwmason]

59. Not technically a nighthawk.....

But good morning MissHoneychurch - how are you this fine day? :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

60. well, I am neither

but what the heck :)

I am fine. A long weekend is ahead of me. :D How are you doing?

[tjwmason]

65. I'm jolly good here.

It's a beautiful sunny, cool autumnal morning. :D

Does this mean that I can't gloat to you about not working tomorrow? :( that's one of the best parts about it :evilgrin:

Have you got any plans for the week-end?

[MissHoneychurch]

69. no worries about tomorrow

I am working. But I am off Monday (our national holiday).

I got plans for the weekend. Looking forward to meet some friends.

[tjwmason]

77. HAHAHAHAHA

But then you'll be able to gloat to me about Monday....

Hope you have fun with your friends - don't do anything I wouldn't do (not that that cuts anything out really :evilgrin: ).

[MissHoneychurch]

80. phew I am glad it doesn't cut out anything

because ya know .... :blush:

[SeattleGirl]

66. Time for this nighthawk to hit the nest.

Miss Kitty, The Queen of the Universe, is on my lap, saying, "Mommy, time to go nite-nite." Night everyone! And peace to all.



O8)

[Robeson]

70. And kitties know best....

...nighty, night!

[SeattleGirl]

72. Night.

She's purring so loud right now I can't hear myself think!

:) She's such a sweetie bear!

[MissHoneychurch]

71. Good night

Sweet dreams

[SeattleGirl]

75. Thanks Misshoneychurch
