Good Thursday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
How are you doing today? I hope all is well! I, myself, am still trying to wake up, but now that the coffee is finished, I'll be fine in a few moments! :bounce: So why don't you grab a cup, sit down with me, and let's get this day started, OK?!

2. Good morning Clintmax!

Now that warm coffee is hitting aching jaw, I just might be able to function today. Or not. Coffee has so many wonderful medicinal purposes. :hug: :loveya: That's a sweet ear worm for this early.

[Clintmax]

3. Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
I was wondering how that went for you yesterday. I hope you're doing OK now! And yes, I love that song too!

"I want to tell you, just how much I love you..." :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Suffice to say, I won't go back to that dentist again. My other two

were done by an endo that I couldn't get in with on short notice. Next time I'll wait. This guy doesn't believe in nitrous oxide. I fear my dental fear has just kicked up a notch. But, I am good today! :)

[Clintmax]

17. Oh, hell!

:grr:
I don't think I could have gone through with it without Nitrous. I can take it all if they use N.O. I'm sorry you got such a bad one this time. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. I was a little stunned. I should have left right then, but I wanted it ove

with. He was a dentist from Central Casting. Talking about his trip to the gym...his kids' private school...blippity, blappity...blech. Lesson learned. Thanks Clintmax. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

29. I would have left at once...

but I know what you mean about wanting it over with. When I lived in Missouri, I went to a dentist who cranked up the nitrous, plopped headphones on your ears and allowed you bring your own CD's to listen to! She was fantastic!

[ScreamingMeemie]

65. Oh wow! My daughter's orthodontist is like that.

My regular dentist is somebody I went to high school with, and she is always great to us. I just wish she did root canals.

[Clintmax]

70. I miss that woman, let me tell ya!

When you find a dentist like that, you have to grab hold of them and not let them get away. Unfortunately, I couldn't persuade her to move to Florida with me when I came down here. :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. You should send her beautiful postcards...especially in the bitter

winter months. ;)

[Clintmax]

75. LOL! Rub it in, in other words!

GREAT idea! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

83. Exactly! She totally sounds worth the effort.

;)

[Clintmax]

She sure is!

But, that was three years ago. I'm not sure she'd even remember me. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

4. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Still trying to wake up here too - even though I was out of bed 3 hours ago....

St. Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach here - utterly sublime.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

5. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
And good morning to you, Sir! Congratulations on 8000, Man! Even though you've far surpassed it now! I'm getting ready to hit my 8000th also! :bounce::party:

Is everything at work going good today?

[tjwmason]

10. Thanks for the congratulations.

It was quite a shock to see how quickly it jumped on me....

All's good here, there's only two of us in the office at the moment so all is calmness and peace.

I take it that you're off to work soon (hopefully not too soon).

[Clintmax]

18. No, I have to close the store today...

Don't have to be there until 1 pm, so I'm here for a while. :bounce:

[tjwmason]

23. Good fun for us then.

:bounce:

Though I suppose that means you stay late....there's always swings and roundabouts.

[Clintmax]

30. Well, yes...

We don't close until 9pm, so I won't be home until 9:30 or so tonight. It's all part of working retail.

[tjwmason]

36. I'd be fine working until 9

it's the 6 a.m. start I couldn't cope with. :scared:

[Clintmax]

40. *smile* Awww now come on...

You know the old saying..."Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Rules to live by, says I!

[tjwmason]

55. Funny you should say that.

Here's something I posted yesterday.... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4860271#4860310

[Clintmax]

60. LOL! Well there you go!

We're of like minds then, you and I! :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

66. More of opposite minds.

That was the "post a dumb saying" thread.

I've always been an owl rather than a lark, and there's nothing which will change that.

[Clintmax]

71. Oh, OK...

Let's not argue about sayings. Especially the ones I live by. :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. ...and here I just said goodnight to you...

;)

[tjwmason]

12. I started that thread last night.

Then I was just being polite and replied to folk when I was up this morning.....it all gets most confusing. :crazy:

[jpgray]

6. I'm about to make coffee

+

[Clintmax]

13. Morning, JP!

:hi:
Looks like a good way to do it too! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

7. Good night. Don't forget the Vacuum cleaner

compliments (thread in the lounge)

[Clintmax]

15. Hail, Australian!

:hi:
Good morning and good night! I'll check it out.

[billyskank]

11. Morning, Clinticles!

:hi:

[tjwmason]

14. Good morning billy.

:hi:

[billyskank]

19. Good morning mason!

:hi:

[tjwmason]

37. I hope that work's starting to be less puzzling for you.

Checking through lines of code sounds like pure hell to me.

[Clintmax]

16. Hail, Billy!

:hi:
:rofl: Nobody's called me that in a LONG time! :rofl:

[billyskank]

20. Then I will make a point of it

:D

[Clintmax]

24. LOL! Well feel free!

It makes me laugh every time! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning Clint

:hi:

Nothing extraordinary on this side of the Atlantic.

I will go to a over 30 party tonight with my one friend.

[Clintmax]

26. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to see you today, my dear! Nothing extraordinary happening here in Florida either. No parties for ME to go to tonight, but I hope YOU have fun!

[MissHoneychurch]

28. I hope so too

and the worst part - we have to work tomorrow x(

[Clintmax]

32. Uh, oh.

Don't drink too much then. You'll have an awful day tomorrow if you do!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. I'm not someone who drinks excessively anyway

and tomorrow is Friday. That means I can sleep in Saturday :)

[Clintmax]

35. OK that's good!

Now all you have to worry about is oversleeping tomorrow morning. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

38. And staying awake through the day

but those ove 30 parties always are on a Thursday. Oh well, I will live through it. I might just not be very active on the weekend :)

[Clintmax]

42. I could understand that.

Do you have any big plans for the weekend or is it going to be a laid back, easy one?

[MissHoneychurch]

46. It's gonna be a laid back one

Sunday I probably go to a vernissage in our museum. My friend has to be there and she asked if we wanna go for a coffee afterwards. Other than that, the normal stuff. Being lazy, gorceries shopping and cleaning up. I need to wash clothes.

[Clintmax]

48. I'm off on Sunday also!

And I need to do the same things as you. Greekspeak should be home on Sunday too! :bounce::party: So, I'll my baby doll back with me! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

50. That is wonderful, that you have greekspeak back with you

I am happy for you :bounce:

[Clintmax]

58. Seems like it's been FOREVER since he left.

I'll be SO happy when he gets here! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

62. It has been a while that you were alone

he deserves a spanking for leaving you all alone ;)

[Clintmax]

73. It is Spring Break, and he wanted to go see his family.

I couldn't get vacation until April so I couldn't go. x( I let him take my new car so he wouldn't have any vehicle problems...boy do I miss that car too!

[MissHoneychurch]

77. You have both back Sunday

and you had the pets with you to keep you company ... and DU :hug:

[Clintmax]

80. That's true!

Life will be good on Sunday! :bounce: I couldn't have gotten through these 10 days without my two pets and DU! :hug:

[Callalily]

64. Morning MissH

Wishing you a fun time at your party tonight.

[MissHoneychurch]

68. Morning SimplyF

I will tell you tomorrow how it was :)

Right now I could use a nap. The weather is gray and rainy and I just had my lunch. Where is the next bed? :boring:

How are you this morning?

[Callalily]

81. I'm running a little

slow right now. I think I could use a nap too, but I just got out of bed!

Weather has been unseasonably warm here again, and we've been getting tons of rain. Unfortunately no so maybe that's my reason for the lethargy. Who knows.

[MissHoneychurch]

85. The weather is for sure one reason

one is just less motivated it it is gray and rainy.

[In_The_Wind]

25. Good morning Clint.

[Clintmax]

27. Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
You doing OK today? I sent you the link to my stores website. :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

31. I'm feeling a lil blue.

I got the link and everything really is beautiful.

I just have a few things rumbling around in my head and it's makin' me nuts.

[Clintmax]

34. I know how you feel, my dear.

I have a bad habit of thinking too much like that sometimes too. :hug: Don't feel blue. We love you here on DU! :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

39. I do know that.

I don't know where I would be sitting at this moment if I hadn't found DU last year.
MissHoneychurch and Sugar Smack have been wonderful friends.
So many DUers have helped me through long and sleepless nights. I'm grateful for everyone of them.

[Clintmax]

45. Well I, for one, and glad you're here!

:hug::hug::loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

52. Awww

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

63. It's true!

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

90. Joani, you helped me as much

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

94. I'm glad I was here when you needed me.

I just cut my hair off yesterday. It wasn't what I planned to do that when I walked out of my home.
It's the first time I haven't had something hanging over my shoulder in 12 years.
Perhaps it is a sigh that it's time for a lot of things to change.

[MissHoneychurch]

95. change can be good

I re-arranged my bedroom on my b-day weekend with my mom and her bf. Small change, but it feels good. Better than moving :)

[In_The_Wind]

99. I am trying to keep the changes minimal.

But there is no telling what I'll do, maybe a lil tweaking will make a big enough difference. :shrug: Maybe not.

[AussieDave]

41. G'day Clint, and all the Crew !!

Hope you're all doing well - a warm balmy night here in BrisVegas. I'm sure looking forward to the weekend !!

:grouphug:

[Clintmax]

43. Hail, Dave!

:hi::hug:
It's damned good to see you today, Man! :bounce: I'm doing fine up here! I can't wait for it to be warm and balmy here in Florida!

[AussieDave]

49. I thought it was always balmy in FL

I was there in (gasp) 1963 - admittedly in August - and I remember it being hot and humid, We went along the panhandle through to Jacksonville and St. Augustine. I just remember the heat, and being sick with asthma - the humidity just made it worse.

[Clintmax]

53. During winter, it doesn't get quite so warm.

Overnights can actually get quite cool. Like right now its 43 degrees out there. But, we are going to have a high of 80 degrees today. :woohoo: I just want the overnight temps to stay warm like the days all the time.

[AussieDave]

57. Sounds like here - the nights are cooling down a bit

but it's only the beginning of autumn here. It won't get really cold until May.

I much prefer summer to winter.............

[Clintmax]

69. Boy o boy, so do I!

I hate the cold.

[LaurenG]

44. Good Morning Clintmax!

Yippy!! It's Thursday! I will have to file an 8 inch pile of papers today. I just can't put it off anymore. The only hard thing about it is I have stuff I need to keep but don't want to figure out where to file it. Info, important junk etc.! Sad that filing would be a challenge but today I think I'm up for it. On to the mundane now. Have a great day!!! :bounce: :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Clintmax]

47. Morning, OhioB!

:hi::hug:
I hate the filing papers thing too. x( It's so damned tedious and time consuming. I could think of a hundred other things I could be doing other than THAT. :rofl: :loveya:

[sbj405]

51. Good morning, the coffee's brewing.

[Clintmax]

54. Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
I having another cup also. How's every little thing with you?

[sbj405]

84. Pretty good. Spring is here. The weekend is near

Can't complain too much. And you? You have to work this weekend?

[Clintmax]

86. I have to work Saturday...but I'm off on Sunday.

So I have at least one of the days off. :woohoo:

[sbj405]

89. Good for you. Any weekend plans or just relaxing?

[Clintmax]

91. Pretty much just relaxing,

Greekspeak will be back on Sunday so I'll be having lots of fun too! :woohoo:

[Minnesota Libra]

56. Good Morning everyone!! It's a good day for an Impeachment let's........

.....all write a representative and suggest they get impeachment proceedings underway. In the meantime here is soe breakfast:donut: and a second helping just in case that other eye is playing lazy today. :donut: Be good to each other today!:hug:

[Clintmax]

59. Morning, Libra!

:hi:
It's a good day for an impeachment indeed! :bounce: I can't wait to get that fucker out of that office!

[Callalily]

61. Morning Clint!

Sheesh, you don't have to be in to work until 1:OO and you're here this morning? How nice!

Feeling a bit lethargic this morning. Don't know why, can't put a finger on it. Hopefully I'll perk up as the day goes on.

[Clintmax]

67. Good morning, Miss SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I always try to get up early regardless when I have to be to work. I'm sorry for the lethargy. I hope you get to feeling more perky SOON! :bounce:

[Callalily]

76. I know what you

mean about getting up anyway. I try my hardest to stay in bed on the weekends, just for the sake of being able to do so. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. That's dependent upon what I did the night before, or for that matter the nights before and how my work week went. I just like to do something a little different to change the routine. Can't get stale now, you know.

[Clintmax]

82. Abolutely not! Stale..NO!

:rofl:
I have had times when I wake up and it is past 8 am...and I freak out every time! The day is half over! x(

[Callalily]

87. You could never

be stale Clint! Hope you didn't take offense. Getting up for the workday is so routine. I do the same stuff at just about the same time every morning, so on weekends I like to break that routine, just to do something different, just because I can.

[Clintmax]

88. Oh, no...I didn't take any offense.

:hug:
No worries about THAT. But, I know how you feel about wanting to change things up on the weekends. Routines can get boring. The only routine that I have that DOESN'T get boring is the Early Morning Crew! :woohoo:

[Callalily]

92. Oh, I wholeheartedly

agree with you on that point. You have amassed a wonderful group of people.

[Clintmax]

93. Yes we have!

:bounce:
It wasn't just me!

[mikeytherat]

74. Hello, good morning, this is post 1000!

Time for coffee and a donut, dammit!

:party:

mikey_the_rat

[Clintmax]

78. Hail, mikey!

:hi:
Congratulations on 1000! :woohoo::bounce::party: Grab some coffee and a donut, Man!

[tjwmason]

79. Congratulations mikey.

:woohoo: :toast: :party:

[wildhorses]

96. Good Morning Clintmax

[wildhorses]

98. okay I guess...killing time

waiting for the pharmacy to open and then off to a dental appointment

:hug:

[Clintmax]

100. You have a great day too!

:hug:
I hope your dental appointment goes well!

[Clintmax]

101. Time to go have breakfast, crew!

I hope everyone has a great day! :bounce: Take care!
